"-Ling'er, you're back!" Before I could turn around and close the door, my hand was pulled up and I dragged into the room. "I really want to die Aunt Hua!"

I guessed the scene of meeting this aunt Hua thousands of times, and I expected the joy of her reunion with Wen Ling after a long absence as a relative. But now that it's like this, it's really a bit of a surprise.

I staggered along the shrill laughter, but I was confronted by a middle-aged woman with a very charming complexion.

Her lips were covered with gorgeous lipstick, and her bare and slightly sagging skin above her neck was covered with a thin layer of white cardamom juice pearl powder. A pair of narrow Danfeng beautiful eyes are like silk, and the golden jade hairpin ring with a hairpin is shining in the candlelight, which makes her smile at me at the moment more delicate and bright, and charming.

"Aunt ...... Flowers"

"Hey!" Listening to my soft call, Aunt Hua smiled even more springily, and a pair of hands dyed with Kodan grabbed me and didn't let go.

"My baby Ling'er, my heart! On the same day, you handed over the token of the banner master of your sect to me, and left without half a sentence, this walk is more than a month, or Zhao'er sent someone to tell me a few days ago that you sneaked into the Lihou mansion, I thought to myself, that the Lihou has been in the court for more than ten years, where will it be a good match, you should be for the sake of the sect to do things before taking the risk to approach, but why did you entrust the token of your Gangfeng Banner to me early in the morning? Hey, I really think about it, I can't understand it, do you know how much Aunt Hua misses you in her heart! ”

I couldn't answer for a while, but Aunt Hua was willing to let go, put one of my hands in the palm of her hand and rubbed it around, and the smile on her face became more and more earnest: "Wen Zhao also told me that you changed your name in the Hou Mansion, what is your name... Even return to Hotaru? I don't understand your intentions, and I've memorized a lot of work... Come, let my aunt take a look, the serious injury is just recovering, and the supply of Lifu is still comprehensive; But I lost weight; Can the recovery be repaid? ”

"-Aunt Hua, we still have time in the future, let's not talk about these ......" I gently broke Aunt Hua's caresses, trying to pretend to be warm and intimate to the beautiful woman in front of me who cherished Wen Ling infinitely, "It's just, did you say that I came here a month ago, you really don't remember what I said to you at that time?" ”

"Zhao'er said that you lost your memory, I still don't believe it, but now it seems that I am afraid that you are really hurt!" Aunt Hua looked at me with pity, compared to her, her sideburns looked very shabby, slightly colored, turned back to the long table, took out a fist-sized wooden box from the drawer, called me to the front and said, "Ling'er, when you handed over this treasure to me that day, you really didn't leave a word. Now take a look at it for yourself and see if you can remember anything. ”

I took the wooden box handed by Aunt Hua and slowly opened it with trepidation.

In the faint light of the candle, I couldn't make out what it was—the contents of the box were the size of a thumb, milky white, and oddly shaped, like a bone of some kind of animal.

I carefully took it out and weighed it in my hand, but it was much heavier than normal bones. I wondered in my heart, and unconsciously increased the strength of my hand, but I was surprised to find that the bone was slightly heated for a moment under my clutch, as if emitting a wisp of warmth, flowing through the palm of my hand to the socket of the heart. When I let go and wanted to find out, I no longer had the magical sight of the right talent.

"No, I can't remember anything."

"Oh... If you can't remember it, forget it, and you can always remember it slowly in the future. Aunt Hua's expression darkened slightly, "Although you didn't mention the reason when you handed over this treasure to me that day, you also told me to keep it alive, saying that it might come in handy in the future." But I have pondered for a long time and have not figured out what is good about this treasure, and now that you have returned safely, you will return to its original owner. ”

I looked surprised in time, nodded, and tucked the bone in my sleeve.

The loving gaze that Aunt Hua has been staring at her body seems to be able to melt people, making people feel embarrassed. I straightened my shirt to hide my embarrassment, and then said sincerely to Aunt Hua: "That's right, Aunt Hua." Tonight, Wen summoned me to help me out of the house, and on the way, I was ambushed by his lieutenant Xiao Yao. That deputy general seems to have always had the intention to transgress, but now, somehow, as if he was in a demonic obstacle, he was stabbed by Wen Zhao and didn't even die, but his flesh and blood were excited, and his internal strength increased greatly, which was really weird! ”

"There is such a thing!" Aunt Hua was stunned and said worriedly, "Then you are all safe and sound, and the thief can be disposed of?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine, my brother has only suffered some minor injuries." I hurriedly comforted, "The deputy general is dead, and my brother has also destroyed the evidence, so I think it will be fine." ”

"That's good, Zhao'er has always been cautious in handling things, otherwise he wouldn't have been in the Hou Mansion for more than ten years without being aware of his true identity." Aunt Hua's expression flickered for a moment, and then she raised her eyebrows again, "I heard early in the morning that Xiaoyao wolf's ambition was to use all his tricks in order to get to the top. One day with him, Zhao'er's situation in the Hou Mansion was dangerous. Now he has sent it to the door himself, and it is better to die, and it is a hundred. It's just that you said that he was insane, his flesh and blood were raging, and he didn't die with a sword... What is the reason for this? ”

"Looking at his appearance at the time, it seems that the change only occurred after the anger and the sword wound. It's not like I've learned any kung fu, it's like... "You say, could he have taken some kind of strong tonic medicine, the kind of medicine that makes people surge when they take it?"...... ”

"Surge in power... I heard that there is a kind of heart-strengthening pill in the south, which is a magic medicine that was refined by secret methods in ancient times in the desert country to enrich the country and strengthen the people. It's just rumored that the medicine will only take effect if you take it for a long time, and it will never be stimulated for a while, as you said. What's more, that Xiaoyao didn't have supernatural skills, so he couldn't get this kind of pill in this city of Jiazhou. Aunt Hua squinted her eyes and said slowly, "It's just that behind this matter, if there are really indifferent people involved in the command, then it can't be said to be very complicated......

I stared at Aunt Hua's delicate and small face under the candlelight, but I saw that her eyes suddenly flashed, and I noticed my gaze, and then opened a bright smile, and took my hand again and said affectionately: "Yes, it is a big thing, Hengzhi will not come for you and Zhao'er brothers and sisters, you are now home, and Zhao'er has the protection of Lihou, we have the right to live our own lives with peace of mind." Look at me, I was so happy when I saw you come back that I forgot that it was late at night, and I should have sent you back to settle down earlier—was there anyone outside! ”

The door was pushed open again, and I remembered that it was late night. When I came to Taopinlou, I saw the lights at first glance, singing and dancing, and I had the illusion that I was still in the daytime.

An older man bowed in, and Aunt Hua shook my hand, and turned around to block me behind me, and her face changed to a cold look at that moment, and I could still see half a minute of love and laughter towards me.

"What's going on?"

"Back to my mother, it's already a moment of time, and the uncles are in good spirits, and they all go back to the room with the girls to rest. There are still a few girls who are holding the seat, playing the pipa and dancing the water sleeves, and they can't hold it, and now they have changed to sit with them, but they are still decent. ”

"A girl with no bones, she will be lazy and lose money!" Aunt Hua muttered angrily, "It's just that I'm too sexual, and I'm not too old, but I'm getting more and more squeamish like the ladies of the official family." Fortunately, we bought this year's Oiran with a lot of money, but that one is also a shelf, sitting in a sedan chair and can't shake it, from the cold to Kashu thousands of miles away, hum, it's not necessarily what year it is! ”

"Mom, get angry. The little one listened to the guest seat from the south, and the peony champion we bought this time can be called a national color, and it is really a rare fairy beauty in a century. It's not worth anything if it's more expensive, as long as you enter the peach sales building in the future, isn't it your mother's cash cow! The man said cleverly, "Even if this one comes late, didn't we buy a treasure from the people of the Western Regions two months ago, although it is not as famous as the peony champion, I heard that it is also a peerless beauty of the Yanguan Tianshan Mountain." All the way to the horse to send, I want to come these days, when the peach sales building is full of flowers, are you still afraid that you can't keep the reputation of the first floor in the world! ”

"Flim, you're a monkey who calculates it for me." Aunt Hua couldn't stand the praise in the end, and her face became proud. "Well, let's talk about business when the new girls arrive, and I'll take care of it first. This Wen... Even the girl you should have seen it, saying that it was my goddaughter of Hua Jiangtang who wanted to kiss more. You take her back to the room to rest first, and then tell her to go up and down the building, don't be lazy, if I hear that the girl is a little uncomfortable living in the building, be careful of your muscles! ”

When the man heard the command, he hurriedly responded, and Aunt Hua turned around, and changed her loving look back in an instant, and said to me gently: "Good Ling'er, my aunt still has some chores, so she went forward." It's late today, let's talk again when we have time to talk, let's go back to the room and have a good sleep! ”

I knew I shouldn't be polite, so I had to respond.

Aunt Hua pursed her lips and smiled, turned around to reflect a splendid and colorful brilliance, and the delicate figure disappeared outside the door.

I stood in place, and an indescribable warmth swelled up in my heart for no reason - unlike the abruptness of Hou Ye's kindness when he first met, this aunt Hua's care for me was accumulated in Wen Ling's seventeen years of growth. Therefore, it is also unconditional love, and Aunt Hua's affection is more suitable for me.

Perhaps it is no longer involved in this reputation and court status; Or maybe it's the memory left by Wen Ling's eyes, and in the face of this delicate woman, I always feel inexplicably relaxed and happy. And this feeling is really what I have been asking for for a whole month in the fully supplied Hou Mansion.

"Girl, please move."

I breathed a sigh of relief, and most of the fatigue of the night's work seemed to be dissolved in an instant. Feeling relieved, I walked briskly to follow the man leading the way. When I think about it, today's Kashu, and even the entire country, is no longer a burden and a cage for me, but a vast and hopeful world of freedom.
