Chapter Fifty-Seven: Returning After Death
When the courtyard door fell, Miss Zheng said softly: "Miss Song, you are really a very smart person. ”
"She's smart, so smart that I can't fathom her. I love listening to her and it feels very deep. But I'm afraid I won't understand...... Did Miss Zheng understand what she said just now? ”
Zheng Zhuzhu smiled lightly: "I don't know much, but I know that no matter whether Han Gongzi Song is lying to you or telling the truth, it must be for your good." Also, Miss Yan doesn't always call me Miss Zheng and Miss Zheng, it seems to be raw, just call me jewelry. ”
"Then you can call me Yan Fei too. Unexpectedly, people who felt out of reach a few days ago suddenly became friends. I sighed.
"Friends?" Zheng Zhuzhu muttered softly.
"The soft couch in the embroidery room is only used by us for occasional rest, and sleeping too much is not good for your health, otherwise you will spend one night in Xia Xia's room tonight, and tomorrow-"
"Don't bother, I'll take care of myself—sit down, I'll pour some hot water and soak my feet to help you sleep—" She helped me sit down and shoved the steaming basin towards my feet.
I was afraid that she would be so enthusiastic that she would come to help me take off my shoes and socks, so I quickly took them off myself, and said embarrassedly: "You don't have to be so thoughtful." ”
"It's okay, I've been sick all these years, and I know the feeling of being sick and sleepless. Autumn warmth should start from the feet, this is an excellent way to help sleep, I have insomnia and dreams, all of which are slowly cured like this——"
"Have you ever had insomnia before?"
"Well, it's been a long time...... I couldn't sleep every day, until I was so tired that I closed my eyes, and I woke up before I was deep. Since the insomnia of that year, I have lost so much weight that I can't get fat anymore. Zheng Zhuzhu muttered.
"Why insomnia? Is it too sick? Still is? "Such a young lady, let alone a worry-free life, even if it is emotional and spiritual, the house is extremely well protected, why would it be difficult to sleep until she becomes sick and thin?
Zheng Zhuzhu smiled lightly, but there was an unconcealable sadness in his voice: "It's just that I have added to my own suffering, and in the end, I realized that I just regarded myself too important, and in the eyes of others, I was just like a mustard." ”
"Why, at least your father and mother love you, and you can know how much they value you by listening to your name—at least you still have your father, but I don't have a father anymore......" My eyes began to heat again.
Zheng Zhuzhu hurriedly took a cold brocade handkerchief and put it on my eyes: "Miss Song said, you can't shed tears, your eyes will burn." I understand, your father is because he loves you, so he doesn't want you to wait endlessly, the pain can be healed, but the youth can't be recovered, if you can come back alive, who wants to bring back the news of death? ”
I was stunned, the cold hairs all over my body stood up, Zheng Jewel said the fact that no one said, if I can come back alive, who wants to come back is death?
Dad, why didn't you come back while you were alive? Do you have to wait until after death to enter the house with the suicide note? Why?
Maybe it's because I soaked my feet to warm up, I slept very deeply this night, but when I woke up, my eyes were still hazy, it should be early, and the courtyard was quiet as if I hadn't gotten up yet.
I touched the water room and washed up.
"Early." Zheng Zhuzhu's voice sounded quietly at the door of the water room.
"You're so early?" I followed the voice.
"I went to the restaurant to buy some breakfast, I don't know if it suits your appetite, I didn't find the chicken bun that Han-Han Gongzi said yesterday...... I was afraid that it would be late, so I got up early in the morning. Zheng Zhuzhu said softly.
"They only came in the middle of the morning, and they were busy during this time, so they didn't have to work so hard - did Xia Xia wake up? I'm going to see—"
"I'm still sleeping, Miss Song said let her sleep enough, it's better not to disturb." Zheng Zhuzhu pulled me to sit down, "Drink the tofu brain while it's hot - do you drink the tofu brain?" ”
"Yes, thank you, thank you." I felt the spoon on the table.
"The buns and fritters are all here, I don't know what you want to eat, so I bought some of them. Which are you going to eat? "Zheng Zhuzhu is like a wet nurse, she has to take care of me in every detail.
"Buns, thank you."
Zheng Jewel broke the hot bun into a small half, put it in my hand, and said softly: "Don't be polite to me, add a thank you for everything, and you'll see you outside." Well, I'll go out and I'll be back soon. ”
I nodded, and I couldn't help but be a little strange: "You've been here for a few days, and no one in the house will look for you?" ”
Zheng Jewel said: "The family has been busy with other things recently, and they don't have time to pay attention to me - you eat slowly first, and I'll be back soon." ”
"Yes."
Zheng Zhuzhu walked out of the courtyard, and when he walked to the door, he moved the bell on the courtyard and asked me, "Why does this bell sometimes ring crisply, and sometimes it doesn't?" I remember yesterday Miss Song when they walked in and walked out, it was very crisp, I walked in and out several times, but there was no movement - could it be that I was not welcome? ”
"Oh, this bell has been broken once and repaired, and it often doesn't listen to the call and doesn't tighten it."
As soon as Zheng Zhuzhu's front foot came out, Han San came in with a smile on his back foot, and as soon as he saw the table full of breakfast, he rushed over: "Wow, it turns out that what I usually eat is what you eat, but today I just arrived a little early, and there are so many tricks to eat!" - What about the chicken buns? What about the chicken buns I was talking about yesterday? ”
"Miss Zheng bought it early, she doesn't know where to buy the chicken buns."
"No wonder, the eldest lady of a rich family, it's just different to shoot - but there is no chicken bun I want to eat, no matter how much it is useless - barely eat a few buns, hey, no appetite." I felt that the buns on the plate in front of me were already missing more than half.
"Yan Cuo, where is that kid? Gone or still? ”
"I didn't pay attention, I just got up, and I didn't hear any movement."
Han Sanxiao approached me again, exuding the smell of spring water: "Are you blaming me?" ”
Han San smiled: "Being blind also has the benefit of being blind, it's so good that your ears are smart, right, haha." ”
When I opened my eyes, Han Sanxiao was stuffing buns into his arms in the hazy white light.
"You say, where has my father gone in the past sixteen years? What the hell happened, why didn't he come back while he was alive, and would tell me now? Doesn't he know that I've been looking for him all these years? "I was unusually calm, as if all my strength had been exhausted by that whole afternoon of reading letters, and all my efforts had been exhausted by the mad cry.
"Is it important to investigate the cause?" Han Sanxiao asked me.
"Important."
"No matter how plausible the cause is, it can't change the result."
I said ruthlessly, "Even if I can't change anything, I have to know why." I want him to have hardships, to have bitter hardships, that he is everything I believe in, and if even he is not worthy of my faith, then how can I live? ”
Han San smiled and sighed, "For us, none of this is important, the important thing is that you have to live. ”
My heart is like ashes, I wanted to live this last time well, who wants God to make people like this, so that the rest of my days will not be peaceful.
"Meng Wu, they're here—I'll go first—" Han San stood up abruptly and ran quickly.
Did Meng Wuxiaoyu really come ahead of schedule? Is the conversation I heard the other day when I fell in my room true? I was inexplicably a little scared and hurried back to my room, pretending to be sleeping if they came looking for me.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to come to the courtyard.
"Swallows? Xia Xia? Are there any living people in the courtyard? Meng Wu's voice.
I didn't say anything, Xia Xia probably didn't get up from sleep, and no one responded.
Xiao Yujiao said in a dripping voice: "I didn't get up, I told you not to come so early." ”
Meng Wu smiled and said, "Then we'll look for them later—let's go, let's play with that bear-tempered doll—" With that, the two of them started to sound their footsteps and went straight to the backyard.
After a while, I heard Yan Cuo's angry voice: "You guys? How did you get in?! ”
Meng Wu smiled and said, "Naturally, I pushed open the door and walked in." I heard that you came to this place to settle down, and wasted all the money we paid for you! ”
Yan Cuo was full of vigilance and said, "It's you?" I don't need your cat to cry mouse fake mercy! ”
Meng Wu still couldn't shake off the gummy candy, and said with a smile: "I'm a cat crying mouse, but this mercy is real." What's the matter, is this bed uncomfortable, what are you frowning all the time at a young age? ”
Meng Wuke is notoriously annoying, and he is even afraid of Han Sanxiao, and now he is finally entangled with a person, how can it be so easy to let go.
"Get me out right away!" Yan Cuo said angrily.
Meng Wudao: "They are all big men, what are you afraid of, you are not stripped and slept." There is no one else to play with me in the courtyard, so let's talk to your uncle for a while. ”
"Less set almost! You- what is this?! Yan Cuo's angry voice rose again.
"Actually, ......" Meng Wu, who has always been noisy, actually said two words, and there was no sound anymore.
"What the hell! It's almost picked! Yan Cuo was a little angry, accompanied by the clanging sound of metal striking.
"I can't pick this up." For a moment, Meng Wu's voice was very low, just like the last time I heard it.
Yan Cuo was furious, and his roar echoed in the backyard: "It's about to be picked!" ”
"It's a chokehold, and once it's choked, you can't take it off again. Unless the bones and blood die, the body and the soul die. ”
Choke? And where did it come from?
Yan Cuo didn't say anything, and the noise of jingle clanging was getting louder and louder, like the sound of a blacksmith's shop, maybe he was trying his best to take this choke off.
"The choke is backbone, nobler than all the good generals and beautiful women in this world, do you know what the backbone is?" Meng Wudao.
Yan Cuo still ignored him, and the sound of Ding Ding Ding became more and more sharp, as if he was pounding the bracelet the wall of the table.
