Chapter 704: Little Princess?
Following him, I felt faintly uncomfortable. was also afraid that he would see through the uneasiness in her heart, and she deliberately hid it well.
Ling Yifeng was walking behind, Changfeng found a horse for him, and then left. The shallow sunset on the horizon indicates that the night is coming, and the day is finally coming to an end.
On Chang'an Street, many hawkers have already closed their stalls, and many of them have just come, and the night market on this street is very lively, it can be said that ...... The bustling street of Chang'an Avenue has never stopped.
It goes on day and night, shining with the sun with this great yuan.
In the north of Chang'an Street, it is not as lively as the central area. But many years ago, it was also a prosperous area, because the most noble Guogong Mansion was here, which naturally attracted many people.
It's a pity, today is different from the past, everything is so unsatisfactory, who will remember the "Zhou Gong vomited, the world returned to the Yuan"?
People may remember that the current queen was born in the palace of the princess. But no one remembered some of the secrets of this country.
She gently pushed open the dilapidated door, and the vermilion paint had long since become mottled by the wind and rain, and the slightest touch would slip a little on her fingertips.
I saw that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and a sense of suffocation came to my heart, such a dilapidated place, is it really the famous Guogong Mansion?
The old memories came to my heart, and when she was still her daughter's house, there were many grandmothers and maids around her, because she was the concubine of the country's mansion and a famous lady in Kyoto.
Now as a woman, I feel a little helpless. Why don't you let her be the daughter of this government all the time? Loved by thousands of people, leaving good memories in vain.
Accepting the desolation, she went straight to the deepest part of the courtyard.
Suddenly, a mouse passed by her feet, and she jumped to the side in fright.
It was a familiar place, but she never imagined that one day it would become like this.
This kind of ruin is the last thing she wants to see.
Being so stunned by the rat made her shiver.
In the deepest part of the courtyard of the Mansion, there is a side door, but it is generally not opened, and few people come here.
She walked over softly, standing in front of the door, she took a deep breath, she didn't understand what she was afraid of.
She just pushed it, and it was still the two blue brick houses back then, but the corner of the wall was already overgrown with grass, and the moss was also crawling all over the green bricks around it.
"Anyone?" She shouted softly.
It was only the rats that responded to her. It's a little dark here, and it's getting dark. There was a trace of fear in her heart, and she didn't dare to say that this was the place where she grew up, so she could not be afraid......
She suddenly heard movement in the room, and with that little curiosity, she stepped forward and pushed the door.
She only smelled a musty smell, she frowned slightly, as if she was a little unwell, and in this dimly lit place, she seemed to see a person lying on the bed.
"Mother-in-law." She spoke.
I just saw that the lying person slowly turned around, and the wrinkles on her face made it impossible to see her facial features.
"My little princess is here." She waited a long time before she could say such a thing.
"Why, you think I'm a princess?"
"Help me up." The old woman said again.
"Okay."
Skirting the baskets in the house, she finally saw the old woman in front of her.
The mosquito net was made of a few rudimentary pieces of cloth, and if you look closely, you can see the traces of its feet.
"You're finally here, or I'll be buried in the ground." The old woman said.
"Mother-in-law, are you waiting for me?" She asked.
The old woman nodded, but felt very labored.
When people reach old age, they are unable to move, and many things are powerless to think, so they are left with helplessness and sighs.
"Little princess, do you think of me?"
"Hmm."
The old woman's eyes were like a secluded pool of water, reflecting a dazzling light. At that moment, she seemed to see herself when she was a child, with silver bells tied to her bun and a longevity lock, pestering the servants in the house all day long to let them play with her.
The years are gone, all of this can only become memories, some beautiful, but they can't stand the test.
And how did she grasp the bits and pieces? Pain, the heart is a silent pain.
"Little princess, go under the basket and get me a piece of red cloth." The old woman said.
"Hmm."
Li Shujun did so, and rummaged through the basket for a while before finding the red cloth.
"Mother-in-law, give."
"With your blood, cover it."
"Me?"
"That's you, little princess."
Li Shujun was ruthless, and finally bit a hole on this index finger, and a drop of blood came out, she couldn't remember when she bleed last.
She clenched her right hand tightly with her left hand, and saw blood dripping down the red cloth.
In the dim tiled house, mosquitoes are flying, but because Li Shujun likes incense on weekdays, he was not disturbed by this mosquito.
"Mother-in-law?" She called.
"Go on."
"Hmm."
Seeing that little by little blood seeped from her fingers, she was dumbfounded, when will this red cloth be soaked?
"Mother-in-law, don't you have it yet?"
The old woman took out a rusty knife, and Li Shujun quickly shook her head.
"I'd better take my time." She smiled, only to feel a little shameless.
The wound was a little painful, and the blood oozed from between her index fingers little by little, and she also felt heartache, and the red cloth was dyed a little.
Why, a little desperate?
The old woman handed her the knife again, and the smile with an unknown meaning made Li Shujun panic.
"Give it a try with this, it doesn't hurt."
"Me!"
The flesh and blood on her index finger are already blurred, and if she is cut again, she is afraid that she will be wasted, right?
Holding back the dissatisfaction in her heart, she better take her time.
The old woman grabbed her fingers, and before she could react, a knife passed. In an instant, blood splattered, and the old woman hurriedly took the red cloth to catch the drops of blood.
"Don't move!"
Where does Li Shujun dare to move, she is only afraid that she will bleed to death!
The red cloth was slowly soaked in blood and became even more red, and the old woman kept staring at it, and everyone was a little excited.
"Little princess, it's okay."
The old woman brought a white cloth to bandage her wounds, and Li Shujun was in pain, but she could only endure it.
I'm afraid this wound won't heal in a few days.
"Mother-in-law...... What's next? ”
"Look."
I saw that the mother-in-law unfolded the red cloth in her hand, and through this faint light, she could see a few words on it.
Li Shujun was dumbfounded, but when she saw the words on the cloth, she was startled.
"Little princess, do you know what to do?" She asked.
"No!"
"This is your responsibility, your brother has passed away, and now only you are left, if you don't take on this heavy responsibility, how can you be worthy of the dead souls of the entire Guogong Mansion?"
The old woman spoke loudly, as if she was accusing Li Shujun of inaction.
Li Shujun didn't dare to speak when she was said, but she was afraid that she would not be able to treat the old woman well.
If she had been here more than once, maybe it wouldn't be like this now.
She never imagined that there was such a big conspiracy behind this.
The person who thought he could rely on for a lifetime ended up giving himself a heavy blow!
"My little princess, the next road can only rely on yourself, mother-in-law is afraid that she will not see that day."
"Why?"
"There are many things in this world that have no answers. Why do you have to ask why? ”
"Mother-in-law, they have all left me. How can I carry this burden alone? ”
"yes, what should my little princess do?"
The old woman sighed, and the worry in her heart was like a cloud of fog, unable to dissolve and unable to see the direction in front of her.
It was getting darker and darker, like a huge curtain obscuring the only light that was there.
Now there are only two people left to rely on each other, and there is no one else in this big mansion who can help him.
The blood stains on the red cloth slowly dried, and the words on it were blurred.
"Alright, you can go back."
"I'm not going! I'm going to stay with my mother-in-law. She said.
"Go back quickly, be obedient! Otherwise, you're going to me off this old bone? ”
"I'm ......!"
The old woman smiled, but she felt that she was so slow.
I also saw my own powerlessness, my mother-in-law was old and couldn't do anything, although I didn't do anything else when I was young.
Putting away the bloody knife, the old woman lay back down.
"Go back, don't come again." The old woman said.
"Mother-in-law, I'm not leaving!"
"Go back to your attic if you don't leave, but I think you dare not go, it's not a place to settle down."
Li Shujun only felt creepy, this is where she grew up, yes, but she is also afraid of being alone!
"Mother-in-law, then I'll come to see you tomorrow." Li Shujun said.
"Go, go, don't come if it's okay."
"Hmm."
Li Shujun thought about going out, but suddenly thought of it again, saying that the people take food as the sky, doesn't this mother-in-law eat?
"Mother-in-law, you don't eat?" She asked.
"Don't eat, don't eat, go back."
"This ...... I'm going to buy you something to eat. ”
"No need, just let me die here."
I only feel that this mother-in-law is a little decadent, and Li Shujun feels a little sorry for her.
She walked out without looking back, and passed through the dark courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, she opened the door gently, only to see a man standing in front of her.
She was so frightened that her heart was about to jump out, and her whole body was almost a little slurred.
"Mother."
The man saluted her, and Li Shujun took advantage of this glimmer to see clearly, it turned out to be Beigong Yu!
"It's you." She breathed a sigh of relief, the fear that had just flashed in her heart had not made her forget.
