Chapter 39: Strange Mail (3)

In the future, whenever the winter comes, my mother always holds me and sits by the stove, reciting to me the scene of the year: "The snow back then was as big as a pebble, I don't know how many people froze to death outside, and the charcoal for burning the fire was in short supply, even the Wen family had a hard time, but ah, nowhere in the world was as warm as my delivery room... Your dad was wandering around the house in a hurry. A-Niang always laughed and cried when she spoke.

My father died in the spring after that snowstorm.

After the cold winter, the civilians on the border line are still in the predicament of food shortages, and they are being plundered by nomads from the north. My father was a great martial artist when he was young, and he often went to battle with my grandfather. He was appointed as an adjutant general at the Jinluan Palace to lead the army to quell the war in the north.

Being entrusted with this great responsibility at a young age is really a great thing to honor even in the Wen family.

It's a pity that he can laugh and talk about the cold winter, but he can't survive the spring of blood and swords.

Ah Niang fell early because she gave birth in winter, and when my father's bad news came, her body collapsed suddenly, and she had been relying on the precious medicinal materials of Nawen Mansion for many years. Every winter, she was too weak and cold, and she would inevitably get seriously ill, and I had to lie helplessly in front of her bed and cry.

When I was seven years old, due to the advice of the imperial doctor from the palace, my mother took me out of the Wen compound and moved to a courtyard in the southern suburbs. There is a natural hot spring in this hospital, and it is said that soaking in it can recuperate and rejuvenate the heart, which is suitable for the non-cold-tolerant A-Niang to recuperate here.

It is probably because this hot spring has played a role, or maybe it is because my grandmother often comes here to take care of it, or it may be because I have left the sad place where my father is everywhere in the Wen Mansion, and the demons in my heart have also been solved. Her health has indeed improved a lot, and my mother and I have stayed here for a long time.

Although the southern suburbs are still planned in the capital, it is not a short distance from the Wen Mansion in the center of the capital, and it takes more than a day for the carriage to come and go.

Whenever there is an important red and white wedding event or festival, my mother will take me back to live in the house for a period of time, but other than that, my mother and I have never left the southern suburbs, because of this remote geographical location, we rarely move around with outsiders.

In this way, under the protection of A-Niang's seemingly weak but full of strength, I spent six carefree years in the southern suburbs.

When my height was getting closer and closer to Ah Niang, I thought that I would finally have the strength to protect her.

But when death comes......

I realized that I was still the same kid who couldn't do anything but cry.

In recent years, A-Niang's body has become more and more stable, so I never thought that a small wind chill could take her life overnight.

I can often hear the thunder of the day my mother left.......

Thundered..... Thundered......

The never-ending thunderstorm seemed to remind me that from now on I would have to face the rest of the road alone.

My aunt really walked on a warm spring day, and before leaving, she told me that my father had come to pick her up, took my hand and said some nonsense into the air, and then fell into a deep sleep.

My mother is a member of the Wen family, and it is actually not polite to live in my mother's house for so long, and this time I want to go back and naturally enter the tablet of the Wen family. I left suddenly, so after a funeral was held in a hurry at my mother's house, I went back to the Wen family in the capital to hold a formal funeral for my mother.
