Chapter 7: Not a pity
I don't know why I've been hallucinating lately, and these hallucinations seem to be Lifei's memories.
Was it because I had sucked her essence at noon?
When I got back to Concubine Li's dormitory, it was already late.
But Concubine Li didn't sleep, she sat alone on a rattan chair in front of the house, holding a piece of paper in her hand, and reading something in her mouth.
She tilted her head slightly, her messy hair resting on her forehead.
From the side, her eyes shimmered like the morning dew that was about to evaporate.
Is she crying?
I took a step closer to her, but the wooden bracelet I had just attached to my body fell off me.
With the mellow sound peculiar to woodwork, it just rolled under the embroidered shoes of Concubine Li.
Anything that is dead from me can be seen by ordinary people.
Didn't this bracelet appear in front of Concubine Li's eyes out of thin air, and didn't it scare Concubine Lifei to death?!
I hurriedly wanted to go forward and pick up the bracelet, so as not to scare the big girl with a beautiful face.
But I don't know if I'm too slow or if Concubine Li is too fast, when I'm about to be next to the wooden bracelet, Concubine Li has already picked up the wooden bracelet with a dull expression.
I saw Concubine Li covering her mouth, and tears fell down like pearls.
She put the bracelet in front of her eyes as if she couldn't believe it, looked at it again and again, and finally burst into tears.
Her delicate body trembled and curled up, burying her head in her knees and crying, and from time to time there were a few words of mother, mother.
It's really my mother!
I watched in amazement, and I couldn't help but twitch watching her dramatic performance.
I know that this thing will scare people, but why does this scare Concubine Li stupid?
I stood next to her for a while, looking at her twitching shoulders, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore and went to sleep.
I lay on Concubine Li's bed and fell asleep after a while.
At first, I slept soundly, but after a while, the image slowly appeared in my mind.
It was supposed to be her dream.
The scene in the picture is a stone bridge, and Concubine Li, that is, Shen Qianxun, is standing on the stone bridge with an anxious look.
She looked over the bridge, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, a man walked from the other side of the bridge, wrapped in brown and didn't seem to want to show his face.
When the man in brown first appeared, Shen Qianxun went up and grabbed the man's arm.
Shen Qianxun in the picture is not as elegant as the previous dreams, now she has a kind of embarrassment and haggardness, her skin is pale, like the extreme color of a dying creature.
"Where's my mother? Where did you take my mother?! What the hell are you going to do!! ”
Shen Qianxun was very excited, I had never seen her so out of shape in my dreams, in my impression, she has always been gentle and friendly, and she has never been so rude.
The man effortlessly pulled open the hands that grabbed him, and he sneered.
"What are we going to do? Aren't you very aware of this! As long as you take out that piece of green dragon white jade, your mother will come back, and if you hand it over earlier, your father won't die in Huangquan, right?! ”
When Shen Qianxun heard the words "Huangquan", she clenched her fists and tears kept rolling in her eyes.
The piece of green dragon white jade hanging on his chest was clinging to his skin.
Jade has always been warm, but now the piece of jade in Shen Qianxun's chest is indeed extremely hot, as if it is tormenting her heart.
She seemed to feel her father's blood on the jade, and now it was about to be dipped in her mother's blood.
Why?!
This piece of jade is the physical evidence of Duan Xuan and Shen Qianxun's relationship, why! Why did she have to sacrifice her parents' lives?!
But what to choose.
Love? Affection?
Shen Qianxun clenched his fists, and his tearful eyes were bloodshot.
"As long as I see my mother, I will give you the jade."
Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of hatred.
The man smiled, and showed a very lewd smile.
"Earlier, I wouldn't have had to work so hard, hey, it's really troublesome!"
The man wanted to take Shen Qianxun to a small cabin, but Shen Qianxun hesitated.
When the man saw this, he was very amused and sarcastic.
"Why, don't dare? You're less self-conscious, it's too easy to hurt you, so why bother taking you to the cabin? ”
As he spoke, the man took out a wooden bracelet.
"It was plucked from your mother's hand, you should know."
I looked at the bracelet.
Isn't this the same bracelet I picked up in the woods?
The body buried in the forest is Shen Qianxun's mother?
Perhaps because I was too surprised, I struggled from my dream.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the tearful appearance of Concubine Lifei next to the pillow.
I suddenly felt some distress.
What a bloody drama this is, how much dog blood should have been poured by God to create such a concubine palace fight, you live and die.
Concubine Li's mother is dead, how can she be hidden in the valley?
It can be seen that Concubine Li loves her mother very much, her own mother is dead, and she still can't fulfill her filial piety, what a bitter thing it should be.
I felt like I had to find a way to tell her.
I looked at Concubine Li's frowning brow, which even slept, and I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
I got up and got out of bed and ghostly walked out.
At dawn the next day, when Concubine Li had just gotten up with a hazy sleepiness and swollen eyes, she saw her mother's wooden bracelet lying on the ground.
She hurriedly bent down to pick up the bracelet, but it seemed to have grown legs, and as she approached, it moved farther and farther away from her.
She was a little frightened and a little excited, and she stood up suddenly.
"Mother! Is that you? She shouted into the air around her.
"Mother! Do you miss your daughter? Why don't you come and see your daughter! Have you forgotten your daughter? ”
Her eyes were red and swollen before she was dressed, and all the hair around her ears was stuck to the tear-soaked spots on her cheeks.
The bracelet was still moving forward, and she followed tremblingly like this, stepping on the hem of her skirt from time to time and falling without care.
Now, in her eyes, the bracelet was the only thing that could awaken her inner feelings, the only hope she had placed in life.
She wants to know the truth, she wants to know the truth.
The bracelet led her to the grove where her mother was buried, and stopped at the land where her mother was buried.
Concubine Li watched the bracelet stop, so she stepped forward to pick it up and carefully wiped it with her sleeve, her eyes were a little confused.
"What are you bringing me here for? Is my mother here? ”
She asked stupidly, but kept staring at the wooden bracelet in her hand and didn't react otherwise.
Until she suddenly felt a soreness in her legs, and felt a force behind her push, she knelt on the ground in front of her.
Her center of gravity was unstable, and she immediately supported the ground with her hands, but the wooden bracelet in her hand was also pressed into the soil.
She was startled and quickly got up and took out the bracelet.
Finally she noticed that something was wrong.
Why is this piece of soil so loose, as if it has been dug up and filled in?
Suddenly, her body shook, and her expression was a little incredulous.
"No, no, don't!"
She shook her head in horror, and then desperately dug into the soil in front of her with her hands.
Her slender nails were stuffed with dirt, and the touch of rubbing made her shiver.
When she dug into a sleeve of her coat, she stopped what she was doing, only to see her head down, tears smashing to the ground.
"Mother!"
Her voice trembled, with extreme forbearance and pain.
She carefully peeled off the dirt next to her sleeve, and when she had completely dug out the old woman's body, she hugged the stiff corpse.
"Mother! Mother! ”
It was a hoarse cry, mixed with despair for the world, as if the last hope had withered and died before her.
If her mother hadn't died, she would have been a dream.
What kind of love, what kind of protection, she can be regarded as just a dream.
If she could do it all over again, she would never fall into the bubble of love and sacrifice her original happiness.
She fell to the ground crying bitterly, she pounded her chest, and every punch seemed to sink deep into her bones.
Why!
Why did she choose that man in the first place!
Is it because of a year of getting along? A month of love? A one-minute commitment?
But her parents loved her for eighteen years!
Such a deep and low-key love for eighteen years was destroyed by her single-handedly!
She hates! She hated that she couldn't personally slash the man who failed her and the woman who ruined her life!
She trembled and carefully buried her mother back in the pit, her movements as soft as a child in the process of atonement.
"Mother, I'm sorry, my daughter is not filial, my daughter will come to pick you up immediately."
After Concubine Li reburied her mother, she walked to the queen's bedroom step by step with the flames like Shura.
The pace was not fast, but every step was terrifying, and she had transformed from a pure white lotus into the flames of revenge in the Shura Hell, and every step she took was a terrible scream.
I stood in the distance and watched her step by step towards a path that would tear her apart completely, and I felt a little lost in my heart.
Did I use the bracelet to lure her here?
If it weren't for my hint, maybe she would still be that beautiful and stubborn girl.
Even if you live in a lie, you at least have hope in your heart.
And now the only fire in her heart has been extinguished.
Once a person is in despair, she is not afraid of anything, because she has no heart.
I suddenly remembered what Si Qing said to me that night.
"Things have their own cause and effect, and some things are forgotten when you know them"
