Chapter 43: A Restless Night
It was late at night, and Zeng's mother took Yiyi to a specially arranged room for her to rest. Yiyi took advantage of her departure and sneaked out again. From memory, she groped her way through the park towards the cabin she had seen earlier. At this time, the moonlight is slightly cool, and the night sky is quiet and solemn.
However, because the night was too dark, she searched for a long time, and she seemed to be unable to find the direction, and kept spinning in place. Suddenly a maid came out of a courtyard with a lantern, and she was so excited that she thought it must be a log cabin. She quietly hid behind the rockery, and while the maid was far away, she quickly sneaked into the courtyard.
However, she didn't find a log cabin, only a row of simple bluestone houses. There was a room with a faint light. She wondered if this was the room where the servants lived, and was about to leave, when suddenly she seemed to hear a faint painful ** coming from the room.
Curious, she walked to the door of the bluestone room and tried to peek inside, but the wooden windows were nailed tightly and impermeable. The wooden door was locked tightly from the inside. She tried to go around to the back of the house, but there were no windows behind it.
At this time, suddenly there was a burst of angry scolding and whipping from Zeng's mother in the room: "If you run out again, you will break your legs!" Madame said, you can't go anywhere, stay with me honestly, don't trouble me! ”
The sound became the sound of crying in pain. Who is this beating? Shuying felt angry and surprised, who is this? Why can't you come out these days?
Shuying rushed to the front and knocked on the door: "Zengma, open the door, open the door!" ”
There was a panic in the house, Zeng's mother opened the door, pulled the door from behind her, and said to Yiyi seriously: "Miss Yiyi, why did you come here?" It's a big night, and the people in the Qian Mansion are asleep, why are you still wandering around? ”
Yiyi said: "I can't sleep, I walked around the garden, and I walked here, why are you still beating people so late?" ”
Zeng's mother was expressionless, and replied coldly: "A servant has done something wrong, Madame let her be punished, Miss Yiyi, you should go to sleep quickly!" Although you are the goddaughter recognized by Mr. and Mrs. Qian, you are not their biological flesh and blood after all, and you are not enough to manage all the affairs of our Qian family...... Everybody's busy, don't fool around. A girl, in the middle of the night, what kind of body is this! ”
Yiyi sneered: "You are a housekeeper, I feel like a dog fighting people, my godfather and godmother will not talk to me like this, you dare to be so aggressive to me!" ”
"Who am I afraid of at my age? recognized a godfather and godmother who abandoned his father and mother who had raised him for more than ten years, only to be spurned by everyone, my great-mother is not rare for you, a young lady. Where to go, where to go! Zeng's mother spurned Yiyi mercilessly.
"You," Yiyi was speechless, "what are you arrogant? Isn't it just to be a housekeeper, believe it or not, I told my godfather to go. ”
"Go, go and tell your godfather, why don't I do it," Zeng's mother said fiercely, "In this mansion, I am not afraid of any of you believe it or not?" Little calf, run away for me. ”
Zeng Ma stretched out her hand holding the cowhide whip from behind her back and raised it in front of Yiyi. Instinctively, he dodged. Zeng's mother took the opportunity to enter the house and locked the door again.
Yiyi kicked the door angrily and shouted: "Old witch, you have the ability to open the door, let me and I see what you are doing!" ”
Suddenly, I don't know where to hear the song "Moonlight" played by Chen Feiming when he was a child, and the beautiful and sad music merged with the moon in the sky. Yiyi stopped kicking and shouting, and ran after the sound of the piano. At last she followed the sound of the piano, and found the courtyard from which she had been, and saw the hut again, and the sound of the piano wafted from the hut.
She ran to the door of the cabin, and the piano still stopped abruptly. Through the window, she could still see the outline of the old piano. There was still no one at the edge of the piano.
"Brother Mingming! Are you in there? I'm Yiyi! Do you remember? Yiyi banged on the door, but no one answered. Is it another delusion?
Yiyi always believes that her Mingming brother has not passed away, so it is impossible for such a beautiful person to disappear like that. She felt that this Qian Mansion was hiding too many secrets. Does Mr. Chen also have a heart as cold as ice under his cold face?
She cried sadly, and the memories that had been good warmed her eleven years of life. Everyone thinks she is rebellious, everyone thinks she is unruly, she can only study hard to enrich herself, and she can only nourish her heart with this beautiful memory. It was only when she recalled this period that she felt that she was actually an angel too, but no one could understand her. She banged on the heavy door in despair, pouring out her tears in despair.
"Dream Butterfly." Suddenly, someone behind her was calling softly.
She looked back and saw a beautiful woman in a long red dress. Under the moonlight, a pair of sad eyes stared at her quietly.
Yiyi felt a little scared, and she asked, "Who are you?" I'm not called Dream Butterfly. ”
The woman in red smiled and said, "You are Mengdie, I finally found you." ”
Yiyi looked at the moon in the sky, it was dark all around, and she suddenly remembered that there was once a male voice who also called her softly in her ear, "Dream Butterfly," and that day, after she fell unconscious, she seemed to see a man in black with tears in his eyes and shouted to her while touching her face: "Dream Butterfly, Dream Butterfly." She suddenly felt a creep. The woman in red seemed to see her state of mind and said, "Don't be afraid, that dream butterfly is your ......"
"Yiyi, why are you here, what are you doing, I heard you crying from afar in the room." Suddenly, Qian Xuefeng hurriedly ran over with Chunxue.
The woman in red disappeared in an instant, and Yiyi suspected that she was too sad and had a delusion. She looked at Qian Xuefeng blankly, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit.
Yiyi's body fell softly, like a white snowflake.
In the haze, she seemed to hear Qian Xuefeng saying, "Why is she here?" ”
Chunxue said, "I don't know either. ”
Qian Xuefeng said: "She is really a strange girl, what is she looking for in the middle of the night." ”
Slowly, her vision seemed clear. She seemed to see the handsome man in the black suit who had stroked her cheek before, affectionately and sadly calling her "Dream Butterfly". He stood against the light, his tall body straight and straight. He stretched out his hand and wanted to hug her, he called: "Mengdie, you're back, I'm Tang Karen, I was wrong, you forgive me." You come back, and we'll be together for the rest of our lives. ”
