It's an old yard.

The yard was paved with square stones, and the cracks of the stones were already covered with moss.

It seems that this yard has been uninhabited for a long time, and it has only recently been cleaned.

After sending Liu Zhiguo back, Xiaodouzi went directly back to the courtyard and called at the door: "Childe, I'm back." ”

This was an agreement he had agreed with Liu Gongzi before, to send Guo'er back, and if they lived in a hut outside the city, they were afraid that someone would disturb them, so they returned to this old courtyard.

Xiaodouzi called Liu Qianling, but there was no response.

He ran to the door of Liu Qianling's room again: "Childe, I have sent Guo'er back smoothly." ”

I still didn't see Liu Qianling respond.

Little Beanzi was about to walk away, but noticed that the door was closed from the inside.

He reacted suddenly, and knocked on the door vigorously: "Childe, are you sick?" ”

"Woo......"

There was a slight strange noise in the room.

Xiaodouzi was in a hurry, kicked the door open, and just saw Liu Qianling lying on the ground in the bedroom, rolling her eyes and foaming at the mouth of the convulsions in pain......

"Childe ......"

Xiaodouzi hurriedly carried Fang Qianling to the bed, and took out a thumb-thick wooden stick under his pillow and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sticks are made from pepper branches. It was already covered with deep and shallow tooth marks.

Liu Qianling's epilepsy is already an old problem.

Afraid that he would bite his tongue when he got sick, this wooden stick made of pepper branches kept under his pillow.

Wherever he lived, this little stick was always under his pillow.

Xiaodouzi did this before taking out the silver needle and calmly piercing it from Liu Qianling's Baihui acupoint.

Leaning less, Fang Qianling stopped rolling her eyes, and her body stopped twitching.

Xiaodouzi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth for him with a look of pity.

Fang Qianling, who was a little sober, took Xiaodouzi's handkerchief and said slowly: "Guo'er...... He's safely back, right? ”

"Childe, why are you ...... again?"

Liu Qianling often fell ill a long time ago, and after the conditioning of Dr. Wu, his epilepsy has improved a lot.

Xiaodouzi knew very well: if it wasn't for some stimulation, Liu Qianling would not have been sick at all.

"I'm fine." Liu Qianling's tone returned to its usual calm and breeze.

"It's okay! What did Guo'er tell you when she left? ”

"He didn't say anything."

Xiaodouzi stopped talking, he knew what his son-in-law didn't want to say, no matter how he asked, the son-in-law wouldn't say it.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, as if someone had entered the yard.

Fang Qianling looked vigilant, and quickly put down the veil on her bed: "Little Bean, I don't want to see him!" ”

He only heard footsteps, and he already knew who was coming.

Xiaodouzi hurriedly went out, and knelt down as soon as he went out: "General, why are you here." ”

The visitor was dressed in civilian clothes and wore a low hat, as if he was deliberately concealing his identity: "What about your master?" I'll take a look at him! ”

"General, Childe is unwell and resting in bed."

"I'm sick again...... Alas! The person who was called the general by Xiaodouzi let out a long sigh: "You better go and report it, I just want to see him." ”

Xiaodouzi got up, but didn't go back to report, just lowered his head and looked cautious: "General, you also know that Gongzi can't be stimulated...... Not as good as the recent ...... You'd better not meet......"

After saying that, Xiaodouzi looked at his toes and didn't even dare to raise his head.

The visitor sighed and turned to leave.

There was a tall horse outside the courtyard, and he jumped on it, whipped his whip and left.

Little Beanzi looked at his back and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Close the courtyard door! I don't want any more outsiders coming in! Liu Qianling's voice was cold.

"He's not an outsider, he's your biological father!" Xiaodouzi closed the door and said quietly.

"Father?" Fang Qianling sneered: "From the day my mother died, I had no father!" ”

"Childe, the general was in the military at the time, and something like that happened was something he didn't expect......"

"That's it!" Liu Qianling decisively stopped Xiaodouzi: "My woman's life is not as important as fame and fortune, such a person is not my father!" ”

"Childe ......"

"If you have any further objections, go home with him! I don't need you to follow! ”

“…… Childe, look at what you're talking about...... Xiaodouzi's life was saved by you, I have followed you since I was seven years old, and now you actually want to drive me away......" Xiaodouzi didn't finish speaking, his throat was a little hoarse, and he didn't continue.

This young man is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is afraid that his son-in-law will drive him away.

Liu Qianling's heart softened: "Go get some hot water, I want to wash my face." ”

"Hmm!"

Xiaodouzi obediently went to fetch a basin of water for Liu Qianling, and also brought a clean white cotton cloth. He originally wanted to wash Liu Qianling's face, but was refused.

Liu Qianling insisted on washing herself.

Putting the hot white cotton cloth on her face, Liu Qianling suddenly had an association......

When the cotton cloth was taken down again, he was already in tears: "Little bean, how miserable did you say my mother died back then......"

Xiaodouzi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly wiped Liu Qianling's face, and took out the basin and cotton cloth.

Liu Qianling sat on the bed dejectedly, and a childhood scene appeared in front of her again.

His mother was a maid.

His father was a general, but he fell in love with a maid.

To be precise, Liu Qianling feels that it is not love.

The general sowed seeds for the maid, and then went to the border to be a hero. The maid stayed at home and conceived in October and gave birth to a frail and sickly child.

The child was okay, and he was carefully cared for by the general's wife, who had no children, and finally saved his life.

But that maid was miserable.

gave birth to a son for the general, and the fate of the little maid did not improve, but became more and more miserable.

That year, the Mid-Autumn Festival general replied that he would let the little maid be a concubine and carry out a simple ceremony during the New Year.

But before the New Year, the little maid died.

At that time, Fang Qianling, who was only three years old at the time, saw three or five old mothers tie her mother's hands and feet with a wide strip of cloth through a pillow, and then tied her to a big bench.

An old woman took out a white cotton cloth, put it in the water, wet it, and covered his mother's face.

The mother was begging bitterly: "I will leave the General's Mansion by myself to find another way!" For your sake, Madame, I have bore you a son...... Spare me......"

But the general's wife did not relent, but glared at the old mothers and signaled them to hurry up.

The old mother wet another layer of cotton cloth and continued to cover her mother's face.

The mother's voice begging for mercy became weaker and weaker: "Please, spare me, madam......"

Immediately afterwards, a third layer of cotton cloth was covered. And then the fourth layer, the fifth layer......

After that, the mother and mother were no longer silent.

It was an hour before the men put the mother down from the bench.

As a result, even the most famous grievance in the palace did not find out how the mother died.

There wasn't a single scar on her body, but she was dead.

The three-year-old child had always been frail and sickly, and since then he has suffered from epilepsy.

This disease is more than 20 years......
