Chapter 125: Old House, Deep Well, Yellow Tung Tree, Shui Yao, Shui Yao, My Shui Yao!
Sister Meng walked over slowly, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her wrinkled hand, and gently stroked Shui Yao's delicate face.
"This girl was born well, but it's a pity that her life is a little harder."
Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but reach out and take Shui Yao into my arms.
"Her body was born by her father's mother, **mortal fetus; And this soul body is half immortal and half human, how can it bear it? β
Sister Meng said very directly, and I understood it at once, but the shaping of Shui Yao's soul body was in a very special environment like Heaven and Hell, and it was naturally impossible to reach the yang world.
I hurriedly asked her, "Sister, since you brought us here, it means that there must be a way, right?" β
"Yes, yes, but before you can do that, you have to find three things and a place."
Before I could speak, Sister Meng said: "These three things are Shui Yao's umbilical cord blood and her parents' essence blood, and as for the place, it is where she was born." β
"But"
"No, but! If you can't do that, then let her always be there for you in this form. β
As she spoke, Sister Meng's hand shook slightly, and Shui Yao's body flew up, flew out of the ancient bed, and fell into my arms.
Sister Meng slowly walked towards her car gear, and as she walked, she said, "Your performance is not bad in the heavens and hells, I hope you won't let me down this time." β
Soon there was a fog all around, and not long after Sister Meng entered the fog, the sound of her knocking on the bamboo tube came from the fog: "Knock, knock"
As the sound faded away, the fog slowly dissipated.
Holding Shui Yao's body in his arms, he said to Shui Yao's soul body beside him: "Shui Yao, do you have any impression of this place?" β
Shui Yao shook her head slightly: "I really don't remember." β
I remember that when Shui Yao was drinking the soul soup, she said that the thin wonton was pork and horseshoe bamboo shoots and corn filling, and the filling of the wonton was much smaller than that of the dumplings, and three ingredients could be added to such a small filling, so it stands to reason that there should not be many such wonton stalls.
Of the three materials, pork and corn are more common, but this horseshoe bamboo shoot is only distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and southern Fujian provinces, where the Yangtze River is inevitable.
When I was studying in Jinling, there was a classmate in my class who was from a small mountain town in Bailu City, the southernmost part of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.
He once brought us the horseshoe shoots unique to his hometown, which can be eaten in any local restaurant, but once out of the area, it can't.
He used the method of his hometown to peel the shells of the horseshoe bamboo shoots, blanch them, and bring us cooked products to taste them. Because water chestnut bamboo shoots cannot be eaten overnight, once overnight, the original tender and sweet taste will gradually become bitter, stiff and coarse. Even if it's not exaggerated, the freshness is nowhere near the standard of origin.
In this way, it was natural to narrow down what I was looking for.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not too late, I carried Shui Yao's body on my back and began to inquire about the people around me.
At first, I was thinking about asking more people, but I just asked the owner of a noodle restaurant, and the owner of the shop stretched out his hand and pointed to the bottom of the street: "Oh, you go down this street, there is a very small ferry port over there, and there is a 'Laolin Lucheng Wonton' on the side of the ferry." That shop has been in our Yaocheng for more than 40 years, as long as the locals know it. β
I didn't expect it to be so easy to find, so I walked quickly to the ferry with Shui Yao on my back.
When we arrived at the ferry, although there were not many people here, there were still some men and women standing on the edge of the ferry, putting colorful lanterns into the water and following the water.
On the right-hand side is the "Old Forest Lucheng Wonton", and although it is already 11 o'clock in the evening, there are still many people sitting here.
I sat on the bench with Shui Yao's body in my arms, although the body of the chasing person had lost her soul, she was still like a living person, and her body was also warm, as if she was asleep.
As soon as I sat down, a young man came up to me and said, "What do you want to eat?" β
I was about to speak, but I found that he had been staring at Shui Yao.
His eyes and expression were a little different from those of the person next to him, and he kept staring, while frowning.
"Dude, it doesn't seem rude for you to stare at my girlfriend like this, right?" I hurriedly asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The young man hurriedly apologized to me, "The main thing is that this beauty is a relative of mine, a distant cousin, they look a little alike, I thought she escaped from home in the middle of the night." β
My eyelids jumped and I asked, "Does your cousin look like my girlfriend?" β
The young man nodded: "It's three or four points similar, she is a famous beauty in our area, but compared to your girlfriend, it is a little worse." β
In this world, there are many cases where two people look similar, but most of them are determined by genes, especially between relatives.
Coupled with the current environment, I naturally think that the young man's cousin is most likely Shui Yao's relative.
It's just that it seems a bit presumptuous to ask now, and I don't know anyone well here, so it would be a waste of time if this person was a liar.
Just as I hesitated, a slightly deep voice came from a man's position behind the young man: "Xiaolin, bring your cousin a bowl of wontons, and my words will be ramen." β
"Okay." The young man said to me, "Think about what you want to eat, and then call me when you're ready." β
As soon as the young man turned around, I happened to see a middle-aged man and woman sitting on a chair across from me.
The woman had obviously cried, the corners of her eyes were red, and the man's face was not very good, and when he was talking to the young man, I found that the woman next to me had been staring at Shui Yao.
Looking at it, she suddenly stood up, hurriedly walked up to me, and stared at Shui Yao up close.
"Well, youβwhat's the matter with you?"
"She, she" The middle-aged woman's face looked very complicated, and she kept staring at Shui Yao, as if there was only Shui Yao in the whole world.
However, if you really want to talk about it, although this middle-aged woman looks similar to Shui Yao, her first feeling to me is still a little familiar, and this familiarity comes precisely from Shui Yao.
At this time, I looked at Shui Yao's soul body next to me and found that she was also looking at each other in a daze like her middle-aged daughter.
Could it be said
When I was surprised, the middle-aged man also quickly stood up, he strode to the middle-aged woman's side, stretched out his hand to support the woman, and at the same time stared at Shui Yao.
"Lad, she, she is"
"She's my girlfriend, her name is Shui Yao."
"Shui Yao, Shui Yao, my Shui Yao!"
The middle-aged woman hurriedly reached over to hug Shui Yao, and I hurriedly blocked her: "This lady, what are you going to do?" β
The middle-aged man also behaved to stop the woman's impulsiveness, and said to me: "This friend, don't you think she looks a little similar to my lover?" β
Before I could open my mouth, the middle-aged woman suddenly cried loudly: "It won't be wrong, it will not be wrong!" She's my daughter, my daughter who has been lost for twenty years! β
And I turned my head to look at Shui Yao's soul body, only to find that she was crying!
Generally speaking, ghosts, or dead souls don't shed tears, but Shui Yao really shed tears!
No wonder Sister Meng said that Shui Yao is already between half human and half immortal!
Shui Yao's measures also confirmed my guess, I don't know if we are too lucky, or the other party has been insisting all these years.
Due to the large number of people in the shop, we quickly left the small shop and crossed the old street at the same time into a Rolls-Royce luxury car parked not far away.
In the car, I was still holding Shui Yao, we sat side by side, and the other party didn't say much when they saw that we were intimate, after all, now they care more about whether Shui Yao is really related to them.
They told me that Shui Yao was lost when she was 5 years old. On that day, it was also the Midyear Festival, and they brought Shui Yao here to put lanterns, but Shui Yao disappeared without noticing for a while.
Since then, they have come here every year during the Midyear Festival to look for Shui Yao, and they believe that if their daughter still has memories, she will definitely come back, and the emperor has lived up to his wishes, and now he has finally found it.
Interestingly, Shui Yao's father is really surnamed Shui, and her real name is Shui Yao!
This is in such a coincidence!
I didn't have too much time to tell them about Shui Yao's past, but hurriedly spoke: "Uncle and aunt, may I ask you about Shui Yao's umbilical cord blood?" β
"Yes, yes!"
The reason why the umbilical cord blood is kept is mainly to prevent the child from getting diseases in the future, but it also indicates that Shui Yao's family background is excellent.
After that, Shui Yao's father asked him to go to the hospital to get his cord blood, and I asked them to take me to the place where Shui Yao was born.
Although they were curious, they didn't ask too much, after all, Shui Yao's current state also looked a little strange. Even if a person sleeps soundly, he should be awake at this time.
Soon, the car stopped in front of an old house in a southern water town.
This old house has gone through vicissitudes of life, it is still standing, and they still have to watch people, Shui Yao's father woke up people in the middle of the night, and the other party led us in.
Shui Yao's father told me that this house was the old mansion of their Shui clan, which originally occupied a larger area, but later called for a partial demolition, and the rest was retained. Luckily, Shui Yao's birthplace is on the left, a room that is relatively remote and next to the canal.
The old house was relatively shady, and I carried Shui Yao and followed her parents into a square space.
There is an old well in front of me, and I didn't look at the old well, but judging from the surrounding environment, there must be water in the well, and it is very clear and sweet.
On the left and right sides are planted very thick tung trees, which are said to be the perched trees of the phoenix, and these two tung trees are lush and look at least 100 years old.
Looking around, I now finally understand why Sister Meng asked me to find Shui Yao's birthplace.
This place is simply a natural spiritual array!
Not long after, a middle-aged man hurriedly brought in a blood bag with a special packaging.
I took the umbilical cord blood from Shui Yao's father, and then said to the two, "Uncle and aunt, let me tell you this, Shui Yao's body and soul are separated, and her soul body is now standing next to me. β
"Ahh
Shui Yao's mother reacted very much, and hurriedly looked at the air around me, intending to find her daughter.
"However, don't worry, I only brought Shui Yao here to save her." I continued to say to the two of them, "Now, I need both of you to put your hands out, palms up. β
Shui Yao's parents glanced at each other, Shui Yao's mother was more active, after all, she was also eager to save her daughter, and immediately stretched out her hands.
Her father asked me, "Excuse me, how are you going to save my daughter?" β
