Chapter 046: Uncle and Grandfather in a Mask
When Ah Xiyan was jumped from the tall wall of Jingxin Garden by the masked man's waist, he also took the opportunity to take a closer look at him.
Although the man next to her was also wearing a mask, Ah Xiyan could still see at a glance that the other party was definitely not the masked man who sneaked into the Weiyang Hall to give her the antidote pill before.
In addition to the different masks worn by the two people, the temperament on their bodies is also different.
The man who gave her the antidote pill before seemed to give her a younger and gentler feeling, not like the kind of person who was intimidating.
And at this moment, the man around her waist is obviously older, and he also exudes a suffocating murderous aura, giving people a sense of domineering who does not agree with each other and draws a knife at each other.
But I don't know why, Ah Xiyan has a strong intuition, that is, the man next to her doesn't seem to be the first time to see her.
Because the other party looked at her with a complicated sense of reunion in his eyes, as if he had known her many years ago.
However, no matter how hard Ah Xiyan tried to recall, she still couldn't remember that she had ever seen this man.
"Who are you? Why do you want me to meet the singing woman? Do you know her too? ”
Ah Xiyan asked in a whisper as the masked man landed firmly on the overgrown ground under the walls of the Meditation Garden.
"What is your purpose? Why do you want to beg a royal guard to let you in? And listening to the tone of your voice, it seems as if you've seen her before. ”
The masked man also lowered his voice and asked rhetorically.
As he spoke, he watched his surroundings vigilantly, as if he was worried that someone would come and see them at any time.
"I ...... In fact, I don't know her, but I just helped an old man find her family and help her convey a word. To be honest, I'm not sure that the woman who sang was my long-lost family member. ”
Ah Xiyan hesitated, but still told the truth.
"Help an old man find her family? So how do you make sure she's your deceased family? ”
The masked man asked, somewhat surprised.
"One is to sing the song I just heard outside the wall, and the other is to see if there is a birthmark on the back of her right hand that looks like a plum blossom. If so, my old friend asked me to tell her, and if not, I thought I hadn't been here. ”
Ah Xiyan replied without reservation.
"Then you're right, she does have a plum blossom birthmark on the back of her right hand. It's just that she has suffered a lot of grievances, and since she was imprisoned in this cold palace, her temper has become more and more eccentric and stubborn, and she has easily disappeared from anyone. If you don't have a reason to touch her heart, she won't see you. Let me tell you this, I'm still her own brother, and she doesn't want to see me now. So I'm afraid it's hard for you to see her as an outsider. Not to mention a word for your deceased. ”
The masked man nodded in acknowledgement.
looked at Ah Xiyan with a complicated face and reminded him kindly.
"Really? That's great! I didn't expect to find her so soon! Now you can fulfill your mother's last wish. What the? Are you her own brother? Isn't that my uncle and grandfather? Why doesn't Grandma even want to see you? ”
A Xiyan also said excitedly when she confirmed that the woman who sang was the biological mother of her adoptive mother.
But when he learned that the masked man in front of him turned out to be his adoptive mother's uncle, he was surprised and asked.
"What? How did she become your grandmother? You're not...... Hush! Someone's coming! Come, come with me first, change to a safe place and we'll talk. ”
The masked man shouted in shock, but soon as he saw something, he put his finger to his mouth and whispered.
Ah Xiyan instinctively turned her head to look, and sure enough, a woman with a disheveled hair was walking out of a dilapidated palace.
So, she hurriedly turned around and followed the masked man, carefully hunched her waist, and walked silently towards the depths of the Meditation Garden.
The reason why Ah Xiyan's answer made the masked man extremely shocked, it was because the other party was Ah Kui who came from Concubine Shu's Xiangfeng Palace, so he knew Ah Xiyan's identity, and naturally he was shocked by Ah Xiyan's statement.
Fortunately, there happened to be a woman with a disheveled hair at that time, so he didn't continue, otherwise he would have leaked the fact that he knew A Xiyan.
And when Ah Xiyan followed Ah Kui to the depths of the Meditation Garden, she was also recalling Ah Kui's previous gaffes, and quickly guessed a possibility, that is, it was obvious that the other party did know her.
It's just that she happened to be interrupted by someone who came, so Ah Xiyan was even more curious about who the masked man in front of her was.
As they walked further inside, the singing woman's voice grew louder and louder, apparently coming to the place where the woman lived.
When Ah Xiyan followed Ah Kui to a door, Ah Kui pointed to the closed door not far away and whispered, "Okay, this door is where my sister lives." But I've been here many times, and she doesn't want to open the door to see me. As for the reason, it's hard to say. By the way, my sister doesn't have any children at all, so how could you be her granddaughter? Couldn't you be mistaken? ”
"This ...... You can't be wrong, right? Although the mother I am talking about is only my adoptive mother, my adoptive mother has lived with her mother for ten years! How can you admit your mistake? She told me in person when she was dying a month ago, saying that she had helped me relay a word when I met her biological mother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that she had a plum blossom birthmark on the back of her hand? Unless ......"
Ah Xiyan also replied with some uncertainty.
After hearing Ah Xiyan mention her adoptive mother, Ah Kui reacted, that is, after he sent Ah Xiyan into the jungle on the edge of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, someone actually adopted her!
In other words, there are actually people living in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons!
And Ah Xiyan actually grew up in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons!
This undoubtedly made Aqua feel extremely unbelievable.
However, he soon figured out one more thing, that is, no wonder Ah Xiyan decided to set off early tomorrow morning, planning to cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to the border pass, it turned out that she was the person who grew up in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, could she not be familiar with the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons?
"Unless what?"
Feeling very incredulous in his heart, Aqua asked again.
"Unless my mother, like me, is just a child picked up by your sister, and she left my adoptive mother when she was ten years old. So my adoptive mother didn't know that she was the child she picked up, and it is possible that your sister never mentioned my adoptive mother to you. After all, it's not my own daughter. ”
Ah Xiyan tried to analyze.
"It's also possible, my sister has always been kind-hearted, even if she picks up puppies and kittens, she has to take them home and raise them, let alone pick up children."
Aqui replied thoughtfully.
"Although it was not my biological mother who raised me, she has treated me as her own for the past 17 years. In my heart, she is my real mother. So her relatives are my relatives? Even if your sister is not my adoptive mother's biological mother, for the sake of her raising my adoptive mother for ten years, she can be regarded as my grandmother. And you're my grandfather and uncle. So, uncle, for the sake of our more or less kinship, can you help me find a way to meet your sister? ”
A Xiyan recalled with a grateful face.
He whispered to Aqua to help her, that is, to find a way to see the woman who was singing inside at the moment.
"This ...... Let me think about it. ”
Aqua replied with some embarrassment.
After listening to Ah Xiyan's pleading, Ah Kui remembered one more thing, that is, his sister had disappeared for ten years, and what had happened in those ten years and where she had gone, but he did not mention a word.
So Akui felt that maybe it was my sister who went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to give birth to a child after she was pregnant, and then left the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons when the child was ten years old.
If this is really the case, then Ah Xiyan's adoptive mother is his niece.
After having this idea, Akui also felt that there was some providence, that is, Ah Xiyan, who was personally sent into the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to fend for herself seventeen years ago, ended up being the daughter who was raised by his niece as his own.
In his mind, although Ah Xiyan is the adopted daughter of his niece, he can raise his niece as his own for seventeen years, and it can be regarded as his relative.
So at that moment, Akui also completely lost his murderous intent towards A Xiyan in his heart, and in his heart he had accepted A Xiyan, a relative who was not related by blood.
Because in his heart, there are too few people who can make him regard him as a relative, so he cherishes it extraordinarily.
From now on, he will only double down on protecting Ah Xiyan, and will never let himself or anyone else hurt a single hair of her hair.
Even if Concubine Shuniang asked him to kill Ah Xiyan, he would find a way to keep Ah Xiyan.
After being silent for a while, and quickly sorting out his thoughts, Aqua raised his head and said, "There is a way!" But you'll have to cooperate with me, and we'll have to find a way to convince my sister that you're her own granddaughter. Otherwise she wouldn't have opened the door to us. ”
"Didn't you say she never had children? How could she possibly believe that I was her niece? ”
Ah Xiyan asked puzzled.
"That's right, I just remembered that my sister had been missing for no reason for ten years before she came back. When we asked her, she didn't say a word. Thinking about it now, it is very likely that she gave birth to a child and raised her for another ten years. If your adoptive mother is really her biological daughter, and you can prove that you are your adoptive mother's biological daughter, then my sister will definitely read the flesh and blood affection and open the door to meet you. Are you sure to prove it? ”
Aqua recalled with some sadness.
"So is it possible that your sister is still my adoptive mother's biological mother? That's good! Otherwise, the person my adoptive mother has been concerned about all her life is not her biological mother, which makes it difficult for her to look down under Jiuquan. As long as my adoptive mother is really your sister's biological daughter, I have a way to keep your sister from suspecting that I am her own granddaughter. ”
Ah Xiyan replied with a sigh of relief.
"Good! Then I'll have a way to get her to open the door to see the two of us. Well, I'll knock on the door, say a few words to her, and then look at the look in my eyes and say that you're her own granddaughter. Be sure to prove your identity in the simplest sentence, otherwise with my sister's temper, she won't give us a second chance to explain. ”
Aqua said confidently.
"Don't worry! My adoptive mother did have a biological daughter, but unfortunately passed away unexpectedly when she was eight years old, so I must be able to convince my grandmother that I am her own granddaughter. ”
Ah Xiyan also assured again confidently.
Then Aqua strode towards the door......
