I sniffed, wiped tears from the corners of my eyes, and walked forward with a smile.

I first went to the pawnshop to take all the jewelry I brought, so a few pieces of jewelry, actually as more than three hundred taels of silver, in the end is the princess's mansion, a few pieces of jewelry are so valuable. With these more than 300 taels of silver, plus 50 taels of gold in my hand, I don't think I have to worry about it in my life. But you have to save some money, like you did yesterday, this money will not be spent soon! It's better to exchange it for copper coins, I can't bear to throw silver out anymore, it's too distressing.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was inconvenient to carry the silver with me, so I went to the money bank and exchanged the silver for a silver ticket. After changing the silver ticket, I went to buy some incense, candles, paper money, etc., and then hired a carriage and headed towards Lingxiu Mountain.

I honestly hid in the carriage, and did not dare to stick my head out, for fear that an acquaintance would recognize me, and even more afraid of being arrested. To my surprise, the journey was very smooth, and even when I got out of the city gate, I went out without any interrogation. Didn't you find out you ran out yesterday? Or do you think that I ran away and didn't deserve to look for me? It doesn't matter which one it is, as long as I can come out.

Not long after leaving the city, the coachman stopped the carriage, "Guest officer, Lingxiu Mountain has arrived." ”

"Arrived?" When I lifted the curtain, I saw a sparse wood, and the carriage stopped on a path in the middle of the woods. "This is Lingxiu Mountain?"

"Guest officer, if you follow this road, you will go up to Lingxiu Mountain. If I can't get on the carriage any further, I'll have to send the guest officer here. ”

"Oh! Thank you, big brother! "I paid for the car and jumped out of the carriage. The coachman collected the money and drove the carriage away.

I walked up the trail, the road was getting steeper and steeper, and I saw a hill that was not too high after walking for a long time, although the mountain was not high, the scenery was good, the pine was forested, the cypress was miserable, a stream shuttled in the mountain stream, and where the sun was shining, the stream flowed slowly, flowing to the shaded place, and was cut off by the snow and ice, and the white ice and snow belt, winding and stretching in the mountains, looked like a pure silk ribbon from a distance.

I looked around as I walked along the mountain road, sad and conflicted, and although I knew that Jia Siwen would not lie to me, there was still a glimmer of hope in my heart that they would lie to me. With that glimmer of hope in my heart, I prayed that I couldn't find her grave here, so that it would show that my mother, she was not dead, she was still alive, and I could see her again.

When the desolate new tomb suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, I was stunned for a moment, my brain was blank, everything around me disappeared, I couldn't hear any sound, I couldn't see anything else, only the stone monument standing high in my eyes, when I saw the words engraved on the tombstone, my feet were soft, I knelt on the ground, the incense, candles, and paper money in the basket were scattered on the ground, and my eyes suddenly burst into tears, and I cried bitterly.

Mother, the unfilial daughter Xiaoyue has come to see you! You must blame me for not coming to see you for so long. It's not that I don't want to come, it's that they won't let me come. Mother, do you know how much I miss you these days? I dream of you every day, and every day I reminisce about our old days. Mother! Are you okay to come back, will you go home with me? Mother! Mother!

I was crying so hard that I couldn't breathe when I suddenly felt someone tap me on the shoulder.

Is my mother here? I was so happy that I didn't care about wiping the tears on my face, and immediately turned around. Four or five servants dressed as housekeepers stood behind me and looked at me curiously.

When I saw them, I was very disappointed, it turned out that they were not mothers. Tears soaked my eyes again.

I looked at the strangers behind me, I didn't know if they were good or bad, although I didn't want to pay attention to them, I still wiped my tears, endured my grief, and asked, "Who are you?" "I can't help but feel a little apprehensive in my heart, it can't be the people who came to arrest me, they know that I will definitely come here, so they are waiting for me here?

Standing at the front, a middle-aged man with a one-inch-long beard, said with a kind face: "Little brother, who are you, why are you crying in front of my wife's grave?" ”

I was a little wary and did not dare to tell the truth, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"We are the ones who guard the grave of the lady. Do you have anything to do with our lady? Why are you crying so sadly at my wife's grave? ”

My heart relaxed, and they didn't seem to know who I was anymore. I kowtowed three times to the grave. Mother, don't blame me, I can't tell them the truth. They'll take me back when they find out. I really don't want to go back, I have nightmares every day when I live there, I think about that day every day, every day is painful, and if I stay any longer, I'm afraid that one day I'll really go crazy. Mother, please forgive your daughter's unfilial piety!

I straightened up and looked at the tombstone, "Husband...... Madam? Pretending to be surprised, "I'm sorry, I thought it was my father's grave, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I made a mistake." As he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave.

When those people heard me say this, they all laughed, "You kid, can you even make a mistake about your own father's grave?" ”

My face was flushed, my expression was sad, and I whispered to them, "You don't know, my father abandoned my mother and married a young lady from a rich family. Later, my mother found out, so she took me to the door, who knew that my father loved vanity, and the wolf's heart and dog's lungs did not recognize us. My mother, who didn't want to embarrass my father, took me home. Later, my mother heard that he was dead. My mother cried for him and said to me, "It's a father and son, you can send him there." I went, and who knew that the dog looked down on people and kicked me out. My mother said again, "It's a good father and son, you go to his grave and worship him." I didn't want to come, but I didn't want to make my mother sad, so I came, but my mother only told me that he was buried in Lingxiu Mountain, and didn't tell me the specific place. I saw that there was a new tomb here and worshipped, but I didn't expect to worship the wrong one. Sorry to interrupt! As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

The men all smiled mockingly, shook their heads and remained silent. I didn't speak again until I stood up. The middle-aged man walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder, "Your mother, what a good person." It's a pity to meet such a ...... Alas! It's a hard life! You kid, but you have a filial piety. ”

My nose was sour when I heard this, and tears couldn't help but flow. Mother, your life is really bitter, for him you have suffered so much, suffered so many sins, but he abandoned you and left, he treated you like this, why do you forgive him, why do you want to block the knife for him? I don't understand, I really don't. Tell me, why? After all these years, you still haven't forgotten him?

"Alas!" The middle-aged man sighed, patted me on the shoulder again, and said, "Young man, don't be sad, everyone has their own life, and no one can help it!" By the way, the burials here are all dignitaries in the capital, we know something. Young man, what is your father's name, you tell us, let's see if we know where his grave is? ”
