Chapter 142: The Covenant of War (Part II)
The ghost mother nodded: "This is too." The emperor was also confused. Could it be that the emperor's ancestors were born, and all of them were emperors and emperors? In other words, the emperor still has poor relatives eight or nine floors away! Looking down on his own people, isn't he stingy with himself? After speaking, the ghost mother smiled faintly.
Yu Qi said: "My father often said, don't talk about the court, don't talk about the Lord!" Naturally, I can't say bad things about the Lord. Now tell you the old man, it should be my nonsense before I die! Your old man will denounce me, and let them kill my corpse in the future." ”
The ghost mother said: "You are a thoughtful person, and the freedom that your father admires has taught you in vain!" Just say, don't interrupt! Since you know that the Zhuang government is plotting to kill your family, why don't you report it to the official? Don't seek revenge directly? Wouldn't it be okay to come in and kill her cleanly? ”
Yu Qi shook his head, paused for a long time, and said, "I thought so too. But no! ”
The ghost mother said, "Why? ”
Yu Qi said: "I forgot to tell your old man, my mother is the daughter of Zhuangfu, and I am the granddaughter of Zhuangfu!" ”
The ghost mother was shocked, stood up with a slight tremble, and said, "You...... Sure enough! ”
The resentment and anger on her face burst out in an instant, revealing everything.
Yu Qi hurriedly said: "Except for the old lady and the four masters in the mansion who know my identity, no one else knows. They are afraid that I will be involved in the Zhuang Mansion. I desperately entered the Zhuang Mansion to find evidence and avenge my father and mother. Your old man knows that my mother was born in Zhuangfu after all, and Zhuangfu is ruthless and unrighteous to us, but I can't treat people cold-bloodedly. I have endured in every way I have done so to punish the traitors. If you find out the truth for me, don't say someone in the Zhuang Mansion, even the whole house, I will also clean it! When I say this, you old man know what I mean? ”
The ghost mother sat down slowly and said, "Indecisive, procrastinating, and affectionate, it is difficult for you to succeed." I'm afraid that you won't be able to take revenge, and your body and mind will be wiped out first. This Zhuangfu person is not so kind to wait for you to find any evidence. I dare tell you that what happened to your family is absolutely caused by them. Jealous of your family! Think about it, how many years did the people of Zhuangfu endure the anger of your father abducting your mother? Your sister has entered the palace, whose lintel is bright? Think about it, girl! If nothing else, they did it! ”
Yu Qi said: "Even if I know that they did it, I have to come up with evidence to convince people." It's easy to kill someone, but if you kill someone, I can't escape, and I can't clean up the injustice of my father and mother. Besides, now, I am still a repeat offender in the court! ”
The ghost mother said: "Anyway, they all have to die, drag their whole house to death, no loss!" ”
Yu Qi smiled: "You old man can figure it out." I...... I'm young, and I can't reach your old man's state of mind and the means of doing things. ”
The ghost mother was flattered, and her heart was happy, and she said, "If you are willing to listen to me, I am willing to teach you." ”
Yu Qi kowtowed again: "Ask my mother to show me the way." ”
The ghost mother's hand was propped up on the ground, and she struggled to stand up. After getting up, Wei trembled and walked towards Yu Qi, stretched out his hands in the air, and shook up and down: "Get up!" Get up! ”
Yu Qi's forehead was on the ground, and he couldn't afford it.
The ghost mother touched the bun on the top of her head, slowly squatted down, and said, "I believe your words." If you want me to teach you, you have to follow my conditions. ”
Yu Qi raised his face, full of tears, and said: "My mother is very kind to me, I will never forget, as long as my mother helps me, I will repay my mother with this life and this life." ”
The ghost mother smiled sadly, shook her hands, grabbed Yu Qi's arms, let her get up, and said at the same time: "If that thief girl has your heart, hum!" I've already recognized her as a daughter. I ask you, would you like to be my daughter? ”
Yu Qi said with tears in his eyes: "I am willing! But I ......"
The ghost mother slapped Yu Li's back fiercely and said, "Willing is willing, what else is unavoidable!" Your family is ruined, and my family is ruined, it's just right to make do! What's wrong with you being my daughter, I can tell you that this place is bigger than the boundary of Shangtou Zhuangfu, and it hides all rare treasures, gold mountains and silver vaults, these things are mine. After you become a daughter, all these treasures are yours. ”
Yu Qi was about to get up, knelt down again, and said, "How can I be worthy of your daughter." ”
The ghost mother said: "Nonsense! Do you think I'm ugly? Old? Not worthy of being your mother? ”
Yu Qi said: "No, no, no! I mean, I have another layer of identity now, I recognize you as a mother, I am afraid that I owe you kindness, and I don't respect your kindness enough. ”
The ghost mother said: "What is your identity?" ”
Without thinking, Yu Qi said: "Now, I am the daughter of Zhuangfu Xifu, and they named me Yu Qi. ”
Without waiting for the ghost mother to react, Yu Qi quickly told him how to escape, how to block the sword for Zhuang Jue, how to be carried into the Zhuang Mansion, how to recognize the old lady, how to enter the West Mansion as a daughter, and so on.
After listening, the ghost mother breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say anything else, only praised Yu Qi again and again: "Well done!" Confident! This bad guy has to cut him with such a knife. You're a daughter, I'm sure. One day, I will let you get out of the Zhuangfu Gate, return to my Tie Clan's gate, and be my daughter. What do you think? ”
Yu Qi burst into tears and was moved.
The ghost mother grabbed her fiercely, got up, and said, "I, the Tie woman, shouldn't shed tears, shouldn't bow my head." You should. Today's covenant between you and me, I have counted in my heart, can you count? ”
Yu Qi cried and nodded, then gently supported the ghost mother and said, "Take your feet carefully, I'll help you sit down." ”
The ghost mother was helped to sit down.
Yu Qi took two steps back, generously lifted her skirt, knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "The sky is above, the dark ground is below, I, Zhuo Yiting, worship the ghost ...... today" Because I was not sure of the ghost mother's surname, I paused for a moment and asked: "Mom, what is your surname?" ”
The ghost mother said: "My surname is not expensive!" The surname of the past generations is Tie, your mother and my daughter's name is Tie Mulan, and it has been decades, and I still remember it. You, just say Tie's. ”
Yu Qi nodded in response, and then said: "I, Zhuo Yiting, worship the Tie clan as my mother today. May this life and this life serve her, share the warmth and glory of the world. If he repents one day, and there is something he cannot do, he will let me die without a soul, and I will live without a body, and I will never be a man. ”
After listening, the ghost mother laughed and burst into tears, crawled over, took Lu Qi's hand, and said, "Good daughter, get up, get up!" Good daughter! While holding Yu Qi's hand, he groped around his neck.
The ghost mother said: "You worship me as a mother, Jinshan Yinshan will send you, it is a Chinese thing outside the body, after all, it will be a passing cloud, and it will not bring you to life." Now, I'm going to give you a treasure. ”
As she spoke, the ghost mother pulled out a thread from under her neck, and a green jade with thick nails fell under the line, reflecting the light, crystal clear, so dazzling.
The ghost mother said: "This baby, with me through the catastrophe so far, passed on to you!" ”
Yu Qi said: "I don't dare to ask for such a valuable thing." ”
The ghost mother ripped it off, handed it to Yu Qi's hand, and said, "It's not precious, there are things to do, but it takes some effort." I tell you, this is the relic gallstone of my snake children and grandchildren, wearing it can turn poison and strengthen the body, and if you break it, you can kill people. This is a peerless poison. I thought I would keep it and poison the entire Zhuangfu people. Now, this task is handed over to you, you take it for me, and one day, in front of the people of Zhuangfu, I will eat it for you, and watch them die one by one with a smile! ”
Yu Qi's hands trembled with fright.
The ghost mother pressed Yu Li's hand tightly, and asked her to accept it, and then said, "What you just said, I remember all the doubts you have." I'll tell you why I'm here one moment. This is all the sins of the Zhuang government. It's also that I'm unladylike. Shiro believed the thief girl. I don't want to mention the grudge with the Zhuang Mansion anymore. I have to mention it to you, that thief girl, lest you bump into her in the future and be calculated by her! ”
So, the ghost mother told Yi Linglong how she rescued herself. Why was he sent to that room that day? The ghost mother said: "She said that the people of Zhuangfu were coming to search, so let me avoid it." Send me to a better place to enjoy happiness. Isn't that a good place? If you want to eat or not, you don't know where to go. If I hadn't met you, I would have starved to death by her that day! If you hadn't shown me the way, I wouldn't have been able to find this nest! ”
In fact, the ghost mother left from the fence bamboo garden, and the arrangement was exquisite, and there was another hidden secret. Here, later.
After listening to it, Yu Qi sighed and felt that it was very legendary and very coincidental. can remember seeing Yi Linglong stealing treasures in the secret passage, think about it, this Yi Linglong should not be a good person, most of them came for treasures. Now, the ghost mother said this, which responded to the speculation in her heart.
The ghost mother said: "I have lived in the Zhuang Mansion for several years, and there is no brick and tile of the house on top that I don't recognize. So, even if I'm blind, I can tell where that place is. On that day, I asked you, the color of the furnishings in the house, just to tell where it is, so that you can find a way to leave. Luckily, you pointed it out to me before you left. That's the old house of the dead in Beifu, isn't it? ”
The old house of the dead?
Yu Qi's heart was shocked, how many unsightly secrets are buried in the Zhuang Mansion?
Yu Qi complied with the ghost mother's wishes, nodded, and stared at her eyes in a daze. Suddenly, Yu Qi's heart shook, and he thought to himself, how much hardship does the ghost mother have to suffer to toss her eyes like this, if she changes to herself, can she still hold on? She was blind, her tears were dry, her flesh and bones were buried, and her green silk was white...... Survive all the black and white nights.
Inexplicably, a sympathetic emotion gathered in her throat, stuck somewhere, making her hurt her brain and swollen eyes.
Seeing that Yu Qi was silent for a long time, thinking that she didn't have the heart to listen, the ghost mother was a little uneasy, and said: "Do you think that if you worship me as your mother, everything will be fine, and you can go out smoothly?" ”
Yu Qi smiled and said, "Mom, if you are willing to let me stay, I will stay with you." Now that I recognize you as a relative, I am also a lucky person, and I will never be lonely again. In the end, the world is so big, there is no place for me, in my mother's place, at least there is a place for me, walk with me. ”
In this regard, he told the ghost mother about what happened on Zhuang Yu's birthday, and told the ghost mother how he was locked in Shizhai, and the most thrilling thing to fight with the snake was that he was afraid that he would be blamed if he told her about killing the snake, so he did everything possible to say that the people of Xifu wanted to poison themselves and starve themselves to death, and they were desperate to find something to eat and fall into a dry well.
When the ghost mother heard this, she regretted for a while that she had just scolded Yu Qi's words, which was too much. Now, the person in front of him is his own daughter! To the enemy, it is okay to be like that to outsiders, but to one's own people, why should he be so tough and ruthless? Therefore, the ghost mother went to take Yu Qi's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said, "My temper is like this." I've been locked here for too long, I can't tell the difference between day and night, and I've been in a trance for so many years. If I hadn't gone out, I wouldn't know what era it was. I'm here, talking to stones, talking to water, talking to trees, talking to frogs and insects, talking to snakes and snakes, it's inevitable, between words, there is a lack of human touch, don't go to your heart. ”
Yu Qi smiled, very envious, and said, "Mom is worried." Mom has a black cat? ”
The ghost mother shook her head: "No! I can't raise a cat on my own, how can I raise a cat? ”
Yu Qi said: "That's strange, I was brought in by a cat." I thought it was a cat that led me into a trap! It's not raised by my mother, is it raised by someone from Xifu? This cat, like a human, snatched my fish, which is very unreasonable. ”
The ghost mother said: "How can the beasts of the Zhuang Mansion be reasonable? You're right. Daughter, you have suffered in the Zhuang Mansion. I don't have rich fish and meat here, but there is a good brew, and over the years, my snakes and snakes have given me a lot of food, and I have hoarded it. With that, he pulled Yu Qi up and continued: "Come! You can eat with me! ”
Dinner?
Yu Qi remembered Jinghua Xie's trip to the secret road, and saw the ghost mother drinking water by the round pool, and the cave was full of glowing insects. The hoarded food was made by seeing white bones all over the ground on the way in, and human flesh was chopped down and hoarded by her?
Thinking of the dirty insects flying around, the floating corpses in the pond, and the white bones and skeletons all over the ground, Yu Qi's appetite suddenly turned over the river and the sea, and he almost wanted to vomit.
