Chapter 13: The Forbidden Land
I had to pretend to try to remember, and my head hurt: "I remember...... It seems to be ......"
At this moment, I don't know what to say, so I have to be vague.
The shape of the situation makes me quite torn between the two sides.
Unexpectedly, the little sister suddenly broke in like a savior, and said: "Dad, mother, you talked to my sister for a night, and this daytime said again, let my sister play with me!" ”
Dad glared at him and shouted angrily: "What are you playing, while playing!" ”
The mother wanted to defend the little sister very much, but she seemed to be afraid that her father would be annoyed, so she hurriedly said to the little sister: "Yue'er, you go play first, and your second sister will come to accompany you later!" ”
The little sister got this roar from her father, and she was so aggrieved that she couldn't do it, looking at the resentment in her father's eyes, and ran out with tears.
I was at a loss, thinking that I wouldn't take the opportunity to chase my little sister away at this time, but I really couldn't answer my father's words, so I hurriedly got up and said, "Dad, I'll go see my little sister......"
Regardless of whether the father should or not, the finch also escaped as if it were gone.
The little sister ran a long way, and then came to a gazebo on the rockery in the backyard and became sad alone.
The Yan family is a wealthy family, and they threw away a handful of money and piled up the entire Yan family into a huge manor lined with trees.
From a distance, it looks like a cage of green smoke.
The manor has nearly two miles of road from the front to the backyard, and the pavilion is built again, the mountains and rivers reflect each other, and the scenery is very secluded.
So the little sister ran to the backyard in one go, and if she wanted to be clean alone, it was really a good place.
Because further into the backyard, there is a "forbidden place", which was ordered by my father to die, and no one is allowed to go.
What is in the forbidden land, everyone knows very well, in my father's words, it is said that the Yan family has gone up to the ancestors of the eighteenth generation, and down to the eighteenth generation of children and grandchildren who have been sleeping for a hundred years.
So, no one really wants to come to such a place.
The little sister didn't know how, and she ran here.
The gazebo is elegant, but on the edge of this forbidden place, it is also unique.
In the distance, I saw my little sister sitting there in a daze, maybe there were still tears on her little face.
I smiled and walked over gently.
Before she got close to Xiaomei, Xiaomei suddenly turned around and giggled mischievously.
I was slightly stunned, feeling a little weird.
The little sister grimaced and said, "Sister, I knew you would come." ”
I didn't feel it, and said, "Oh, then you brought me here on purpose?" ”
Xiaomei nodded, and shook her head again: "It's not, right?" But it's always the second sister who cares about me the most, so I knew you would come! ”
I sat down next to her, tapped her forehead, and said, "You little devil! ”
My little sister's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at me in surprise, looking a little panicked.
I was a little stunned and asked her, "Little sister, ...... you What's wrong with you? ”
The little sister flickered and said, "No...... Nothing! ”
Then he giggled again, his expression tightened, and he asked in a lower voice: "Sister, have you really learned to rob tombs all these years?" ”
I was stunned and looked at her.
Except for my parents, no one in the family knows what I am doing outside, how can my little sister know?
The little sister saw my thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I only found out when I overheard you last night!" ”
I shook my head and said with a smile: "Little sister, you are really a child who doesn't grow up, and you still eavesdrop on adults!" ”
The little sister was very proud, and said happily: "I just miss the second sister, that's why I went to find you, and I didn't deliberately eavesdrop." ”
She laughed and laughed, and the two round eyes became a slit in laughter.
I took my little sister's hand and stroked it gently, and my little sister's hand seemed to be as cold as my mother's hand.
I just thought it was because my little sister's body was too thin, and said, "Little sister, then you heard what my sister said?" ”
The little sister nodded and said, "Hmm." Second sister, I really admire you! Love so deeply, you must never leave ...... two lives"
I was stunned again.
I didn't expect her to say such a thing.
I think.
For a person like me, even if others don't laugh at me, it can be regarded as a great gift, and my little sister actually said that she admires me.
At that moment, I didn't know whether I should be comforted or deeply saddened.
I smiled bitterly, sighed, and said, "Little sister, my sister loved a woman in her previous life, don't you think this is abnormal?" ”
The little sister shook her head, with a very innocent and lovely look, which made people infinitely pitiful.
"I didn't feel abnormal at all," she said. Really, sister. Am I still impressed? They are all bad to you, they don't believe you don't say it, and they want to make fun of you, only Sister Du is dedicated to you, if it were me, maybe I would fall in love with Sister Du too! ”
I shushed her and said in fright, "What nonsense is the little girl talking about? ”
I looked at my little sister's face and looked at it carefully, as if I had discovered my little sister's beauty for the first time, and I didn't feel that I had a positive look.
The little sister has grown up in the end and has her own ideas.
But the little sister said again: "Sister, am I beautiful?" ”
Maybe she just unintentionally wanted to make me happy, but as everyone knows, it trembles all over my body.
Just this sentence, the four simple words, I can't help but think of the time when I was with Du Sanniang.
I called Sister Du Sanniang, and I also asked like this at the time, and the overflowing feelings were also richly expressed by the little sister.
My little sister is like me back then, and I suddenly seem to have become Du Sanniang.
I looked at my little sister's innocent and beautiful face, and faintly felt a trace of fear and unease.
I'm scared because I seem to see my little sister become me in my previous life.
The uneasiness is because of the appointment between the Yan family and Prince Jing.
In ten days, if the tombs of Qin Shi Huang or Cao Cao can not be found, the whole family will be beheaded.
My little sister is spending the same years, and I can't bear to see such a tragic thing happen to her.
My little sister seemed to notice my contemplation, and suddenly asked, "Sister, what do you want?" ”
I came back to my senses and said casually, "It's nothing." Little sister, there are many things you don't understand. ”
The little sister pursed her mouth and said mischievously: "Why don't I understand, twelve years old, not young!" ”
I was absent-minded, thinking only that she had heard what I had said to my father last night, and that she should have heard what he had said, but she acted as if nothing had happened.
Is it because she doesn't understand the power of it?
I couldn't help but ask her tentatively: "Little sister, did you hear what my father said?" ”
My little sister looked at me with wide eyes, as if she was very strange, and said, "I heard it! What's the matter, sister, are you still serious? Hmph, I don't believe it! Besides, we're all ......."
She seemed to notice the loss of words and immediately stopped.
I was slightly surprised and asked her, "You don't believe it?" ”
The little sister didn't care, and said, "Sister, what do you believe, I don't believe it!" ”
I was a little puzzled: "Then why don't you believe it?" ”
The little sister glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Dad said that March is March and March, so he should go to find the tomb of Qin Shi Huang or something, isn't it?" ”
I nodded and said, "yes!" If you don't look for it, will the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and Cao Cao's tomb rub out of the soil by itself? ”
Xiaomei laughed and said, "It's good to be able to pop out, at least it can scare people." ”
She said and suddenly lowered her voice again, with a mysterious face, and said, "That's it, but why haven't I seen my father go out a few times in the past six months?" ”
Although Xiaomei is only thirteen years old, her thinking is obviously beyond her age: "And even if she goes out, she will only come back in two or three days at most." This is not at all like the tomb robbery that my sister said, wandering around the mountains and seas every day. ”
I was slightly surprised, my little sister's words were obviously reasonable, could it be that my father lied to me?
But why did Dad lie to me?
I shook my head in dismay, and muttered, "No, no...... How could Dad lie to us? ”
The little sister snorted and said, "Why not, I think my father is lying." ”
She suddenly looked around again, and said mysteriously, "Sister, there is another thing, I think it's quite strange." Do you want to hear it? ”
I was intrigued by her sneaky look, and couldn't help but chuckle and say, "You said everything, and you asked." Tell me, what's the matter? ”
Xiaomei said: "Not long ago, about ten days, right? A couple of people came to our house with a person. ”
I glanced at her and smiled dumbly: "What? There are still a few people with one person, what the hell is going on? ”
The little sister glanced at the "forbidden land" and said, "It's true!" Is that the man they brought back, and I saw that he was locked up over there? ”
I counted the time.
Ten days ago, wasn't it just two days before my father brought me back from the hands of the Qian Governor?
Who are those people?
My mind moved slightly, and I didn't feel that I looked at the "forbidden land", and asked my little sister gently: "Did you really see it?" ”
The little sister gave me a blank look and said, "Didn't you see what I was talking nonsense for?" ”
She got up and pulled me, looking very anxious: "Let's go, I'll take you to see!" ”
Although I was reluctant, most of my curiosity prevailed, and I followed her to the door of the "forbidden place".
The forbidden land belongs to the back garden, with a wall and a gate, which divides the Yan Mansion into one and two.
The door was locked, and as time went by, it rusted.
I looked forward to it and said, "Little sister, the door is locked, do you have the key?" ”
The little sister smiled and said, "Sister, I can go in without a key." ”
What she said was so flattering to me that I couldn't help but laugh.
But it's just to cover your mouth and laugh, if the laughter is loud, it's not good to be discovered.
I looked at my little sister from a small hole under the courtyard wall that was not big enough for a person to enter and exit, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ha, little sister, you take me to drill a dog hole!" ”
The little sister blushed, and said strictly: "Sister, don't make fun of it, come on." ”
Barely drilled through the "dog hole", covered in mud, completely like two earth monkeys.
We looked at each other for a moment, as if we had returned to our childhood, and couldn't help but laugh.
But the smile stopped, and he quickly suppressed his voice.
I looked at my little sister and was sincerely happy, but the hidden worries in my heart made me a little sad.
If it was as my sister said, my father just lied to me, I would feel better.
Going deeper into the "forbidden land", it felt as if you were going deep into the enemy's position, and the silence was so quiet that it made people nervous and dazed.
I am at a loss because although this is the place of the Yan family, it is a forbidden place, and I have never been here when I am so old.
This is still close to reasonable.
Generally speaking, when I was a child, who wanted to wander around the mountain of the dead.
But what's strange is that the little sister seems to be very familiar with the forbidden place in the back mountain, and she knows where to go and where not to go.
I couldn't help but ask her, "Little sister, do you often drill dog holes?" ”
The little sister smiled, a little shy: "Where?" ”
After exploring for a short time, I found a hut in the jungle in the back mountain.
A hut sits in the jungle, and the loneliness reveals what kind of gloom it is, but it is very infiltrating anyway.
I've never felt so cold since I robbed the tomb.
The little sister saw that I was a little surprised, and the little adult smiled and said, "Sister, what are you afraid of, there is me!" ”
I couldn't cry or laugh, and I loved this little sister even more in my heart.
The hut is made of brick and stone, boxy like a zygote, and a little more figurative, just like a square tomb.
The walls of the house were obviously frighteningly pale for a person because of the lack of sunlight for a long time, but the room was damp, and all sides were covered with crawling moss, which gave me goosebumps when I looked at it all over my body.
There is a window on the east side of the hut, quite a small one, because the window is too high, the little sister can't reach it, but these can't make it difficult for her.
She skillfully climbed a large tree in front of the window, and with a casual glance, she could see the situation in the room through the dim light.
I had to admire her ability, and laughed in my heart: This little girl is really crazy, she can drill dog holes and climb trees!
I was thinking about it when I heard my little sister say, "Sister, what's the matter, there's someone tied up there!" ”
As soon as I heard it, I thought things were a little weird, such a gloomy hut, with a person tied up, obviously something was wrong.
The little sister said again: "Sister, come and see!"
I didn't have time to think about it, so I climbed up the tree and looked inside, but the light was a little blurry, and the man hung his head so that he couldn't see the man's face.
The little sister said proudly: "Sister, how is it, I didn't lie to you!" ”
I didn't say anything more, and sighed in my heart.
She didn't lie to me, apparently my father lied to me.
Because I also very much agree with Xiaomei's analysis.
The man in the room seemed to hear someone talking outside, and slowly raised his head to look over.
Now his face fell completely into my eyes.
I just glanced at it, and suddenly I cried out in horror: "Yes...... Is it Ai Xiao?! ”
