Chapter 22 Things are slowly becoming clearer
"Hehe, in front of me, you don't have to be nervous, go, I'll take you in. When he had finished speaking, he touched her lightly with his hand, told her to follow him, and then led her into the back room.
Walking in the corridor aisle, the carved copy on the wooden board is unique and magical. Although she couldn't understand the meaning of these, she felt that it should be very solemn, because she vaguely remembered that the backpack on Li Yiyan's back also had this similar pattern.
They turned two corners, Xia Yining felt that it was amazing, she never knew how it was decorated, the layout inside could be so magical, and if she grew up in such an environment, she would probably develop the character of her cousin, but I don't know why my father left the house.
Gradually, there were more questions in my heart, was it because of my mother, or something else?
At the end of the corridor, where a heavy wooden door sits, it looks so lonely, there is no light around, it feels particularly dark and mysterious.
Zhao Yunxiao knocked on the door: "Knock knock." After three clicks, he said through the door, "Father, grandpa, I brought my cousin." ”
"Come in. It was her uncle's voice.
The door creaked and opened by itself, Xia Yining followed closely behind Zhao Yunxiao, not daring to slow down, looking at this place carefully, everything here made her so confused, this kind of furnishings, it seems that it was something hundreds of years ago, being here makes her feel lost.
Finally saw someone, her uncle was smiling and stopping her, Xia Yining also smiled back, nodded, it can be regarded as a politeness, because she is not very familiar with it, so she is not used to being called by others in other people's homes like this.
Beside Zhao Yutong, there was a person sitting with his back to them, with silver hair on his head, which was already gray. But he sat straight and never spoke.
Zhao Yunxiao, who was beside her, touched her lightly with his arm, and then gave her another look and handed her what to do.
Xia Yining also wanted to scream, but her mouth was open for a long time, and she didn't know how to say it, so she finally closed her eyes, silently thinking about her father in her heart, and then fantasized about her father's appearance, thinking, the person in front of her was her father's father and her grandfather, so she couldn't be so timid, and she couldn't embarrass her father.
"Grandpa, grandpa...... Good ......"
Finally spoke, my heart was greatly relieved, and then lowered my head, although the room was dark, I couldn't see her blushing, but I still felt a little embarrassed, and I don't know why, it's just too easy to be shy.
After hearing this, the old man slowly held his legs, and then stood up with the dragon head crutch next to him, the speed was very slow, and the slow Xia Yining almost thought that several hours had passed, and the nervous mood was still not relaxed.
Finally, the old man slowly turned around and walked slowly into her until the other could clearly see each other's faces.
I'll you......
God, it's really not his uncle's nonsense, this is too long, it's too shocking to cry ghosts......
I can't believe it's my grandfather...... If no one said it, she would not hesitate to think that she was a wild man from an ancient period of so-and-so. Forgive her for not thinking this way on purpose, but because, it is estimated that anyone who has seen her grandfather, about nine out of ten, will have her idea.
Then he awkwardly pulled a smile from his lips, this signature smile was obviously not very natural.
Turned her head to look at the cousin beside her, who was smiling gently, looking at her and her grandfather, and thinking silently: It's good that she's a cousin, otherwise, she would be really embarrassed......
I saw the old man, his eyes shining with tears, his brows furrowed together, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the crutches fell to the ground, making a heavy noise.
Xia Yining looked at the wooden cane, and his voice was so loud.
The old man's hands trembled and raised, as if he wanted to touch her face, but he didn't dare to put them up, and the tears were about to flow out.
Xia Yining didn't care if his grandfather was ugly at this time, probably because blood was calling, and his heart was trembling, looking at the hands that were about to be put down, he suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the old man's hand, and slowly put it on his face, tears slid down the old man's hand.
"Grandpa......" called grandpa again, and now she is not shy, because these hands are so warm, making her cold skin feel warm, and making her smell home.
The old man suddenly took her in his arms, touched her head with one hand, restrained the tears in his eyes, patted her back, because he suppressed the tears, so his voice was also a little different, and said: "Child, good child, I didn't expect that a farewell at that time turned out to be a farewell, but now it has only become, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, leaving only you, leaving you to suffer!"
Why don't you take this opportunity to ask about the cause and effect of this matter, sure enough, her father is not an ordinary person, his identity is very suspicious, and now that he sees this, he is even more certain.
She didn't know what to say for a while, after all, she hadn't seen or heard of anyone here. It's really difficult to let her say anything all at once, and more importantly, I don't know what I can say to them, after all, there are no memories and pasts between them.
The old man's name is Zhao Zhi, and everyone who knows him also calls him Zhao Lao, but this name has gradually been forgotten, and these are all told to her by her cousin on the way back over.
Zhao Lao touched her face and said with relief: "You look very much like your mother." ”
"Grandpa, you say my mother, you know my mother?"
The old man did not answer her words, but immersed himself in his own thoughts, and while looking at her, he cried and laughed and said: "I know that you are a kind and good child, your heart is the same as your parents, you have to keep this heart forever, they will be proud of you." ”
The more she talked, the more confused she became, what happened to her heart? Why did she say that she was good? Could it be that before she was born, everyone thought she was evil?
It's so complicated, so her brain capacity is not enough all of a sudden, and she used to feel that she had to understand the secrets here, but now the more she knows, but she can't connect them together, so she has another idea. , it's better not to know anything.
She chose to pretend to be stupid: "Grandpa? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Old Man Zhao smiled and said, "It's nothing, you'll know later, Yunxiao, take your sister to her room, she will definitely like it." ”
And then there was no follow-up, and it was so accessible that she almost turned around.
Zhao Yunxiao took her to the room prepared for her before, the layout inside was very similar to the ancient times, she used to want to sleep in such an antique bed, but she didn't expect to get her wish today.
Zhao Yunxiao helped her take out a piece of the bar book, and then placed it neatly, she found that there were other books, took out a book, and looked at one, and the text on it didn't recognize any of them, in general, this is not a text, but a different symbol.
The books asked, "Cousin, what kind of book is this?" It's so strange that I don't even understand it. ”
Zhao Yunxiao smiled, took the book, then closed it, looked at her with a smile and said, "I will tell you these things slowly in the future." Then he pulled out another book from behind him, out of nowhere, and when he opened it, there were portraits of some people, as if it were genealogies or something.
"It's a family tree. Hearing him explain like this, it was indeed a family tree, and then he said: "This is our family tree, I know you have many questions, come here, I will slowly solve it for you." ”
After speaking, open the first page, that person's clothes are nothing peculiar, no matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary person, but Zhao Yunxiao shook his head, closed the book, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began to speak.
"I think you've seen some strange creatures, and you know that there are so many incredible things that exist, but there will always be those who oppose them, like us. Seeing that she was puzzled, she said: "The magic clan, the five courts of the clan, are Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, and Zhou." As for foreign countries, I still don't know, but there is no need to know, we just care about what happens on our own turf. ”
What kind of thing, how can it be the same as watching a movie?
Xia Yining frowned, as if she was listening to something, it was obviously nonsense......
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Zhao Yunxiao said: "These, you will understand in the future, so, you just need to listen to it, this book is for you, you study it slowly, there is you in it!" After finishing speaking, he turned around, dragged him in white, and left in style, not forgetting to smile before leaving.
She couldn't read the book, so she threw it on the table, turned around and went to get her bag, which contained a notebook, and she hadn't had time to read it.
This yellowed notebook, the things on the cover are no longer visible, and there is a faint musty smell, but she doesn't care.
Open the first page, is a photo, a photo of a blonde woman, it seems to be very well protected, because it can still be clearly recognized, this is a picture of her mother, empty place, with a few lines written: It's hard to imagine how you grew up in my womb a little bit, from small to now, I can clearly feel your changes, that feeling, it's really amazing.
After reading this text, Xia Yining was a little different, is this her mother? What does she mean by "you": "Oh my God...... Did I find something? I'm dizzy......."
Then I looked at the second page, and there was another photo, obviously my mother's, and it read: My dear child, I am very excited and nervous about the birth of you, I don't know if I am ready to be a mother, if I can be a good mother, but I know that I will love you very much.
After reading this, I feel that I don't have the courage to read it anymore, how many things did my father not tell me? Every word above explains that the mother was pregnant at that time, and she was definitely not pregnant with only one child.
