Chapter 048: Qilin-shaped totem talisman
"Sister, it's inconvenient to talk here, why don't you go in and talk inside?"
Perhaps seeing that Ah Xiyan was a little embarrassed, Ah Kui hurriedly diverted the topic empathetically.
"Oh! Oh, I forgot that this is a cold palace. Come, child, come into the house with Grandma and sit down and talk slowly, right? ”
The woman suddenly reacted, and quickly glanced around, and when she confirmed that she was not discovered by others, she took A Xiyan's hand and said.
When pulling Ah Xiyan into the wooden door, he hesitated again, turned to Ah Kui, who was there and didn't know whether to follow him in, and said, "Hmm...... That one...... Aque, come too. ”
"Okay, sister!"
When Aqua heard that his sister finally took the initiative to ask him to go in, he also replied excitedly.
This was the first time in the last dozen years that his sister had allowed him to enter the courtyard.
So at that moment, Akui was also more heartfelt grateful to Ah Xiyan for appearing in time.
I also feel even more that I have done too much to send Ah Xiyan to the jungle on the edge of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons!
However, soon Aqua felt that the world was unpredictable, maybe this was the will of God.
Because if Akui hadn't sent Ah Xiyan to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons back then, maybe today's Ah Xiyan would not have been able to pretend to be his sister's granddaughter and help him reconcile with his sister.
Therefore, Akui feels that many things in this world are difficult to judge right and wrong, and everything may be a fixed number in the dark, which cannot be changed by human beings.
Now that it has come to this, let the past pass.
Ah Kui felt that from now on, there was no need to tell Ah Xiyan the fact that he had sent her to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, so as not to increase Ah Xiyan's troubles.
It's a big deal to do my best to protect Ah Xiyan in the future, as an atonement for what I was ashamed of Ah Xiyan back then.
Anyway, if he doesn't say it, Ah Xiyan will never know the truth.
After all, Aqui felt that even if a newborn baby saw him personally send her into the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, it was impossible for him to have the slightest impression.
But what Ah Kui never expected was that Ah Xiyan was indeed ignorant back then, and it was impossible to remember the fact that he sent himself into the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
But his niece, Ah Xiyan's adoptive mother, saw him.
Before she died, she told Ah Xiyan that she saw the masked man who sent her to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, who was lame on one leg and had a tattoo of a wolf's head on his arm.
It's just that when Akui's lame leg just entered the jungle of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, he was accidentally cut by a poisonous weed and the skin on his leg was cut by a poisonous weed, and he walked with a limp in pain.
Now he has long since returned to normal, but the wolf head tattoo on his arm is still there, and if Ah Xiyan sees it one day, he will still recognize his identity on the spot.
Fortunately, his lame leg did not leave sequelae, otherwise if he was still limping now, and wearing a mask, I am afraid that it would have aroused Ah Xiyan's suspicions.
Of course, all this is a later story, at least the current Ah Xiyan has not realized that the so-called uncle and grandfather around her are the villain who almost killed her back then.
"Squeak!"
When Akui entered the courtyard, he poked his head out and looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one had seen him and Ah Xiyan entering the courtyard, he also casually closed the wooden door and locked it.
Then, he also quickly turned around and chased after him, and soon followed his sister and A Xiyan into a dilapidated palace in this extremely desolate courtyard.
As he walked through the main hall and entered the dormitory at the back, Akui's eyes lit up, because although the courtyard outside was overgrown with weeds and desolate, and even the main hall was dusty and cobwebs could be seen everywhere, but this dormitory was spotlessly clean.
If you close the door, you won't feel like you're in the cold at all.
Then the three of them sat down and chatted slowly.
At first, Akui just sat on the side and listened, and did not interject, and it was always the woman and Ah Xiyan chatting.
As for the topic of conversation, it is nothing more than everything about Ah Xiyan's adoptive mother after the woman left.
This process is mainly narrated by A Xiyan, the woman listened to it with relish, sighed from time to time, and sometimes couldn't help but blame herself, and even cried again when she felt sad.
Although Ah Xiyan spoke in detail, she was a little weak about her adoptive mother's daughter, after all, she knew in her heart that her adoptive mother's daughter died when she was eight years old.
And she is pretending to be the real daughter of her adoptive mother at the moment, so she can only pretend to be hard-headed.
Fortunately, when her adoptive mother was dying, she also told some things about her biological daughter when she was a child, so Ah Xiyan combined with her own experience when she was a child, but she also told it like that, and it did not arouse the woman's suspicion.
During this period, Ah Xiyan also introduced her adoptive father to the woman, and told the woman that her adoptive father was very good to her adoptive mother, so that her adoptive mother was still very happy and happy every day in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
When the woman learned that her daughter was married to a very good person, she was also relieved, and she was comforted a lot.
Otherwise, I will blame myself even more for leaving my daughter alone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
When the woman asked what Ah Xiyan's name was, Ah Xiyan originally planned to tell the woman her granddaughter's real name, but after careful consideration, she still told the woman her name.
Because she felt that since the woman's real granddaughter was dead, there was no need to tell the woman anymore, and it was better to let her serve the woman well in place of the dead granddaughter.
Anyway, in Ah Xiyan's mind, she has already decided that the woman is her grandmother, and she also plans to take good care of her for her adoptive mother and send her to the end of her life.
What's more, that woman is in a cold palace, unless there is a miracle, she will be trapped in this cold palace for the rest of her life, so Ah Xiyan feels that it is better to simply pretend forever.
It's better than letting her know one day that her own granddaughter has died tragically.
Unless one day the woman has the opportunity to leave the cold palace and live outside, it is not too late to tell her the truth according to the situation.
When Ah Xiyan finished telling about her life experience in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, she couldn't bear to ask why the other party was beaten into the cold palace.
When she heard Ah Xiyan ask about this matter, the woman also glared fiercely at Ah Kui, who had been silent next to her, as if she was also unable to say anything.
And Aqua also looked bitter and unspeakable, as if it was equally difficult for him to explain.
Seeing this situation, Ah Xiyan understood that this matter might have become a knot in the hearts of the two, and no one would want to mention it again before they completely opened the knot.
Especially in front of A Xiyan, it is even more difficult for the two of them to speak freely.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
All three of them fell into the cold, and none of them knew what to say.
But soon Ah Xiyan remembered that she still had to go to the palace to meet Mo Gongzi, and she had to go to the General's Mansion to have dinner with her biological parents at night, so she couldn't spend it here all the time.
In addition, she has fulfilled her adoptive mother's dying wish, that is, she has told the truth what her adoptive mother wants to tell her biological mother the most, and it can be regarded as a wish before her trip to the border tomorrow.
Then she might as well leave here with a sense of humor, let the woman talk to Aqua alone, and completely open the knot in her heart, and maybe she will be completely reconciled.
If she can still come back from the border pass alive, when she comes to visit this titular grandmother again, she will ask the reason clearly.
Thinking of this, A Xiyan hurriedly said, "Hmm...... Grandma, uncle, and grandfather, Xi Yan is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, and she has important things to do when she leaves the palace. Why don't you two continue to catch up, I'll go first. Wait until the next time I have a proper opportunity to visit grandma. ”
"That's right, grandma patronized and pulled you to talk, and forgot that you are now on an errand in the palace, and you can't tolerate any mistakes. Especially sneaking into the cold palace is a capital crime. In case it is discovered after a long time, it will be impossible to save your life. By the way, Xi Yan, if you put away this totem talisman, maybe one day it will save your life. In this way, Akui, you quickly send Xi Yan out of the Meditation Garden safely. Then come back to me, this time we both talked about it, and see if there was a misunderstanding back then. But this is the last chance my sister gave you to confess, and if you still don't tell the truth, from now on, I will never have you as a brother. ”
After listening to Ah Xiyan's words, the woman didn't care about the sullenness of Ah Kui again, and hurriedly urged understandingly.
It's just that when he said the back, he warned Aqua again.
He also handed over a piece of extremely exquisitely crafted unicorn talisman to Ah Xiyan.
When Ah Xiyan saw clearly that the pattern on this unicorn-shaped totem talisman was exactly the same as the totem on the sachet embroidered for her by her adoptive mother, she was also stunned for a moment.
It's just that for a moment, she didn't understand the reason why this titular grandmother could have such a strange talisman.
I can only ask again next time I come back.
Even Ah Kui's face changed when he saw the totem talisman in Ah Xiyan's hand clearly, obviously seeing that this talisman definitely had a great background.
There was even an urge to ask on the spot, but considering that Ah Xiyan was still in a hurry to go out of the palace to do business, it was inconvenient to delay any longer, so she couldn't help but didn't speak.
"Don't worry, sister, I promise to send Xi Yan out of the Meditation Garden safely, and no one will find out. I will come back to see you later, and we will talk about it calmly, and I will also tell you everything that happened back then, and I believe that you will not be angry with me again after listening to it. ”
After listening to the woman's words, Aqui also swore an oath.
Then, under the leadership of Aqua, the two of them returned to the gate of the Meditation Garden again.
It was still Akui who put his arm around Ah Xiyan's waist and flew up to the wall, and when he confirmed that the royal guards below were still drowsy, he jumped down again and put Ah Xiyan firmly on the ground.
After that, Ah Xiyan quickly rushed to the nearby north gate.
Aqua jumped up the wall again, returned to the Meditation Garden, and went to see the woman again.
After Ah Xiyan left the north gate of the palace, she also rushed to the mansion where Mo Gongzi was......
