Volume 2: Cinnabar on the Heart Chapter 200 Dead
It was an almost distorted face, with burn scars that stretched from forehead to face and finally to the neck. The hair is thin, revealing patches of white scalp. The only thing that remained unchanged was those eyes, just like the appearance in Shangguan Jingyu's memory.
In Shangguan Jingyu's memory, the nurse is not extremely beautiful, but she is also a delicate person. I heard from the old people in the house that her mother died after giving birth to her, and it was the nurse who would rather let her daughter starve than feed her first.
Later, when she grew up and had memories, the nurse treated her as if she were her own child. The nurse in her memory will call her "Xiao Yu Xiao Yu" when no one is around. Then the nurse held one in one hand and smiled at the world outside.
For example, what a cow looks like, what a dog looks like, a rooster crows, and a hen lays eggs.
These are the daily lives of ordinary people, but they are not something that Shangguan Jingyuping can come into contact with.
Therefore, when there is no one, she will secretly call Liu Yuniang "mother". Every now and then, the nurse always whispers "eh", and then hugs her in her arms and kisses desperately.
"Nurse?" Shangguan Jingyu snorted, tears welling up in his eyes.
"It's fine." Liu Yuniang sighed lightly, "Over the years, I've gotten used to it." Come in and sit! ”
Shangguan Jingyu pursed his lips, as if there was a salty and astringent taste lingering in his throat. She choked up and answered, and followed Liu Yuniang inside. After many years, she didn't expect that the nurse would change so drastically.
This deep mountain hut, in the shroud of night, looks extraordinarily quiet, and ...... With a bit of an eerie delusion.
Seeing that there was only half of the candle left on the case, Shangguan Jingyu looked left and right, then got up and opened the curtain on the side, and said to Liu Yuniang, who was busy in the kitchen, "Nurse, where is the girl?" Why didn't you see her come back? ”
The nurse's hand chopping vegetables was slightly sluggish, and she slowly looked back at her, with a slightly far-fetched expression on her face, "She went to the river to fish, this girl has good water nature, but she can run out too much, and she can't control it." ”
"That's it...... You mother and daughter? It was as if she hadn't seen the nurse's husband.
She remembered that it was the nurse's husband who came to pick her up, and he was an honest and responsible rural farmer. Why didn't she see her after being in the door for so long?
The nurse lowered her head and slowly cut the vegetables, "It's dead." ”
Suffocated, Shangguan Jingyu pursed his lips, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's fine." Liu Yuniang opened the pot, a fragrance rose up, although they are all home-cooked vegetarian dishes, but from the hands of the nurse, there must be a taste of home.
Seeing that Shangguan Jingyu was still at the door, Liu Yuniang said, "Go out, there is a lot of smoke here, don't choke you." ”
Shangguan Jingyu nodded, put down the curtain and walked out.
Indeed, this house does not look like a man.
On the coffee table on the desk, there are only two bamboo cups and two stools. She thought to herself that the nurse's daughter should be about the same age as herself, and she was a bright little girl when she left, but now she must be more and more beautiful and bright.
Because of boredom, Shangguan Jingyu got up and walked towards the bedroom.
I didn't know that I had just opened the curtain, and before I could push the door open, Liu Yuniang's voice suddenly came from behind me, "What are you doing?" ”
was so shocked that Shangguan Jingyu's hand retracted suddenly, and he was stunned for the moment.
She had almost never seen the nurse look so angry, she was really angry. The voice was almost roaring, with a palpable tremor.
"I ......," she froze.
Xu realized that she was too much, Liu Yuniang put the dishes in her hand on the table, "There's nothing to see inside, it's still very messy, don't go in." ”
Shangguan Jingyu nodded, after all, it was the nurse's room, and it was inconvenient to enter.
Back at the table, looking at the steaming meal on the table, she was really hungry. Since she left the farmer's house, she has eaten a vegetarian steamed bun given by the vendor along the way, and has not eaten again.
Liu Yuniang served the meal and set up the dishes and chopsticks for Shangguan Jingyu, "Are you hungry?" Eat! ”
"Don't you wait for the girl to come back?" She frowned at the dark sky outside the door.
Liu Yuniang shook her head, "When she comes back, I'll do it all over again." ”
Shangguan Jingyu bowed his head, picked up the rice bowl, thought about it and put it down, "Nurse, I sneaked out of the Eastern Capital, I actually want to ask you something, can you tell me?" ”
"What's the matter, let's talk about it after eating!" Liu Yuniang put the vegetables in Shangguan Jingyu's bowl, and then scooped a bowl of soup and pushed it down in front of Shangguan Jingyu.
"Nurse, have you seen my mother?" She asked.
Liu Yuniang's hand shook, and the chopsticks in her hand almost rolled off.
Sensing Liu Yuniang's changes, Shangguan Jingyu was like a treasure, and the whole person became excited, "Have you seen it?" Have you seen it? ”
"Why didn't you show you, Madame's portrait?" Liu Yuniang frowned slightly, and her face, which was originally extremely ugly, became more and more ugly at the moment.
Shangguan Jingyu shook his head, "No, I searched the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was no trace at all." Everyone kept silent, even my father pushed four, six or five, and refused to say anything. Now, I don't even know what my mother looks like. ”
Liu Yuniang's eyebrows drooped slightly, "Maybe Xiangye is afraid that you will be sad." ”
"I want to know, can you tell me, nurse?" Her eyes were full of hope.
Not to mention this life, even in the previous life, she didn't know what her mother looked like. It seemed to be a mystery in the first place, so mysterious that she almost felt that if it weren't for her father's existence, she suspected that she had jumped out of a crack in the stone.
"Your mother's ......" Liu Yuniang sighed lightly, her tone was a little heavy, and a little ethereal and unreal, "She is a very good-looking woman, to me, she is just like coming out of the painting." Miss, you look very similar to her. Madame is kind-hearted, if she hadn't saved me back then, maybe I would have died by now. It's a pity that good people don't live long, and she collapsed when she gave birth to you. Later, no matter how much medicine I took, I didn't get better, and the blood deficiency became more and more serious, and one night in your third month, my wife seemed to realize that she was dying, and entrusted you to me. ”
"Then my mother...... Is it because of blood deficiency? Shangguan Jingyu choked with tears.
Liu Yuniang thought about it and nodded heavily.
"But nurse, have you noticed that something is wrong with my mother?" Shangguan Jingyu asked, "For example, my mother can't get drunk, otherwise it will be a little different from ordinary people?" ”
When the voice fell, Liu Yuniang suddenly raised her head and stared at Shangguan Jingyu in front of her.
That kind of look, like a knife, seems to be about to tear out life, with a piercing coldness.
Shangguan Jingyu was stunned, why did the nurse look at her with such eyes? How is she ...... now? looked at himself with low eyebrows, except for the men's outfit on his body, the rest seemed to be normal.
"Nurse, what's wrong with you?" She lowered her voice, a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
Liu Yuniang came back to her senses, but her voice was cold, "I don't know, I don't know anything." This kind of thing is the business of your prime minister's house, how can I, an outsider, know? ”
Shangguan Jingyu frowned, but looking at the face of the nurse, she clearly knew something, why did she turn her face in an instant? Why is that? Could it be that in my mother's body, or in my own body, is there really any ulterior secret?
She lowered her eyebrows and looked at her snow-white and smooth palm, which looked the same now, once she drank it, she would ......
"Let's eat!" Liu Yuniang obviously didn't want to mention the events of that year.
But in front of her, what is there to say?
Back then, she was like the daughter of a nurse, so intimate, why did she see her this time, but she seemed to be thousands of miles apart, as indifferent and alienated as a stranger.
After thinking about it, maybe it was the scar on the nurse's face that caused her psychological burden, so she was a little repulsed by people. Thinking of this, Shangguan Jingyu picked up the meal, "The food cooked by my mother must be as delicious as before." ”
A sentence of mother made Liu Yuniang's face change instantly.
"Xiao Yu!" She suddenly shouted.
Shangguan Jingyu was stunned, and put the food down to his lips again, "What's wrong?" Mother? ”
"You ......"
She smiled, just like when she was a child, and trusted the nurse in front of her. Except for the mother, only the nurse treats her sincerely, isn't it?
"I grew up eating my mother's milk, and when I was a child, didn't I also call my mother? Except for my father, in this world, my mother is my dearest and dearest person. Shangguan Jingyu held Liu Yuniang's hand and said with a smile, "This is not the Eastern Capital, nor is it the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are my mother." ”
Liu Yuniang's pupils shrank fiercely, and slowly withdrew her hand, "Eat, eat!" ”
Shangguan Jingyu nodded, but there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, as if someone was rushing over. As soon as she turned her head, she felt a shadow move quickly into the room.
When I came back to my senses, there was a woman like the wind standing in front of me.
He carried a basket on his back, dressed in coarse linen, and tied a linen belt around his waist. In winter, she is also thinly dressed, but she is still in good spirits, and at first glance she looks like a very refreshing and spiritual woman.
"My mother is so stingy, and the guests at home don't ask me to come back. I touched a basket of fish here, and I sold one left, just enough to add vegetables to you. She glanced at Shangguan Jingyu, pulled her lips and smiled cleanly.
Seeing the hot food on the table, she hurriedly unloaded the basket on her back, and without saying a word, she reached out to grab the dishes on the plate, and then quickly sent it to her mouth.
said that it was too late, Liu Yuniang's face changed drastically, she got up suddenly, knocked a chopstick on her hand, and shouted angrily, "You can't eat!" ”
The woman screamed in pain, and the dish in her hand "clicked" to the ground, and her eyes met in an instant, and the atmosphere around suddenly became extremely strange.
Shangguan Jingyu's heart sank suddenly, and the hand holding the chopsticks shook subconsciously.
