Chapter 6: Sorrow and Joy on a Moonlit Night
Mu Wan'er pulled Mu Zilei, who was guarding outside the door, with a flushed face, and left the village chief's house in a hurry.
It turns out that Chief Ishimura is a stone collector and likes to collect all kinds of strange stones and beautiful jade. He had coveted the droplet jade on Mu Wan'er's neck for a long time, purely because he wanted this jade, but Mu Wan'er misinterpreted the meaning of the village chief Shi and caused the misunderstanding just now. Perhaps because of the embarrassment caused by not making his words clear just now, Shi Youdao finally made an exception and unconditionally agreed to let Mu Zilei participate in the village examination.
"Mother, how did you talk to the village chief?Can I take the village exam?" Mu Zilei said as he looked at Mu Wan'er with a blank look.
"Yes, it's all settled. Mu Wan'er touched Mu Zilei's head and said.
"Great!" Mu Zilei asked suspiciously, "Mother, why is your face so red?"
"Uh...... It's just a bit hot. Recalling the scene just now when she almost took off her coat in front of the village chief, Mu Wan'er even turned red at the root of her ears.
When they rushed home, they found Mu Li and Shi Lan sitting at the table discussing something.
"Today's registration went well, right?" Mu Li stopped talking, turned his head to Mu Zilei who walked into the house and asked.
"Well, I've already registered for the name," Mu Zilei hurriedly said, "But I really don't know the ......bottom of this village exam," he sighed helplessly when he thought of his half-spirit physique.
"Little guy, don't worry, we have just discussed the countermeasures, and the rest will be wrapped up with me and your grandmother," Mu Li stroked his goatee and said confidently, "Old woman, did you say?"
Shi Lan didn't answer, she walked out of the door silently, Mu Wan'er wanted to go out with her to see what was going on, but was stopped by Mu Li.
"I'll just go talk to the old woman," he said, getting up, "and I'll come back to you." ”
A bright moon hung high in the night, and the sky was deep.
Shi Lan stood in the courtyard, looking lonely at the full moon in the night sky. Mu Li walked to her quietly, and the two old men standing side by side, looking from a distance, actually had the demeanor of a reclusive hero.
"Old woman, what's wrong? wasn't it okay just now?" Mu Li asked.
"Last night, I objected to Xiao Lei signing up for the village exam, not because I was afraid that he would be injured and suffered, but because I was reluctant for him to go to school so far away, but I watched him grow up, and now it's okay, it's possible to find out his father's clues in that broken school......" Shi Lan said sadly.
"What are you talking about? It's a good thing, if Wan'er and they can be reunited as a family, we should be too late to be happy. ”
"You can say it lightly, if Xiao Lei can really enter the Bacon Academy and find his long-lost father, won't they move away? Are you willing to let Wan'er and them leave?" Shi Lan sighed lightly, "For so many years, I have already regarded Wan'er as if I had come out, and I have already treated Xiao Lei as my own grandson, twelve years, since we recognized Wan'er as my goddaughter, I haven't worried about Wan'er leaving us with Xiao Lei because of recovering her memory, or her husband coming to the door......"
Mu Li gently put his hand on Shi Lan's shoulder and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
"I also know that my thoughts are selfish, but I just can't bear it. Shi Lan said, the warmth on her shoulders calmed her mood a little.
"Old woman, don't I have the same thoughts as you," Mu Li said, "but we can't just take into account the feelings of our two old men, one day we both kick our feet back to the sky, so what will Wan'er do with them?"
"But ......" Shi Lan wanted to refute, but before she could blurt out the words, Mu Li interrupted her.
"Listen to me, old woman," Mu Li looked into the dark distance, his eyes deep, "some birds are destined to be unstoppable, because their feathers are too bright. You and I should be more deeply aware of this truth than anyone else. ”
Mu Li's words made Shi Lan's thoughts drift far away, and she couldn't help but think of the past.
"Wan'er is no ordinary person, whether it's from the extraordinary scars on her back when we first met her, or the magical drop-shaped jade that she stumbled upon around her neck, but we just pretend nothing happened. Mu Li said to himself.
"Old man, what do you mean......" Shi Lan asked, she finally came back to her senses.
"Have you ever wondered who is the person who chased and killed Wan'er, and why?" Mu Li fell into deep thought, "Judging from the scars on Wan'er's body back then, it is definitely not a good kind to be able to give such a heavy hand to a woman who is pregnant with Liujia, they should be strong and murderous people, I believe that those people are very likely to be still looking for Wan'er, if one day, these people come to the door, do you think our two old bones can really resist it?"
Shi Lan hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head, she remembered the thousands of holes left on Mu Wan'er's clothes back then, even with her own strength, she couldn't do it, it was caused by extraordinary advanced spiritual skills.
"For the sake of Wan'er and them, we still have to let them find out about their background as soon as possible, so as to prevent it from happening," he stroked his beard again and said, "Compared to Wan'er's safety, the loneliness of our two old men is just the size of a sesame seed." ”
"Old man, you can see it," Shi Lan pretended to be angry, "I have been said by you as small as a sesame seed in your mouth." ”
"Old woman, you are not a sesame seed, you are a little liver in my chest. Mu Li stared at Shi Lan affectionately, he knew that Shi Lan had already seen it because of what he had just said.
"I'm old, and I'm still not as serious as I was back then. Although Shi Lan said this, she looked at her wife fixedly, and her face was hot.
Mu Zilei cleared his throat loudly, interrupting the affectionate gaze of the two old men at an inopportune time.
"Ahem...... Xiao Lei, what's the matter?" Mu Li asked, he turned around in embarrassment to find Mu Wan'er's mother and son standing in front of the door, and Shi Lan standing aside with a red face.
Mu Zilei was stunned for a moment, he suddenly thought of his grandmother Shi Lan's always purple face, could this be how he came from? He quickly shook his head and threw this strange thought out of his little brain.
"Grandpa, grandma, I discussed it with my mother just now," Mu Zilei glanced at Mu Wan'er with a smile, "No matter whether we can find my father in the future or not, we have to live with grandpa and grandma." If Grandpa and Grandma don't want to leave Stone Village, we let Dad move in with us. ”
As soon as the words fell, Shi Lan's eyes were filled with tears of emotion, and she said, "The wind and sand are so big, they have blown into my eyes." While holding the sleeve of his coat and wiping the tears overflowing from his eyes.
"It's windy and sandy outside, so let's all go inside. Mu Li took his wife's hand, and the family walked happily towards the house, and when he entered the door, Mu Li looked back at the moon in the sky, which had never been so full and bright. Just as he turned to walk into the room, a green butterfly covered in golden veins fluttered in front of the door.
Under the same full moon, Aunt Lin of Linshi Village pulled her twelve-year-old son and just walked through the entrance of her village towards the village.
"Dumb, it's all your fault, after we reported our name, we could have come back earlier, but you hid in an inconspicuous corner and were dumbfounded, so I looked for you everywhere, how did your mother say that she was articulate and exquisite, how did you give birth to such a stupid son? You see that now the moon has climbed on the branches, and you will be blamed by your father when you go back, you are the only one in our village who meets the registration conditions this year, you have to be more competitive......" Aunt Lin suddenly stopped speaking, in front of her eyes, the entire Lin Shi Village was pitch black, no family lit up the oil lamp, under the bright moonlight, as if shrouded in a dead white silence.
Her sleeve was suddenly tugged at by her own son, and she looked down with horror in her son's eyes, and at some point her son had a bloodstained and shining sword around his neck. Several dark shadows stood silently behind them. "From Lin Shi Village?" a dark shadow said in a low voice.
"Yes...... Forest...... Be...... Target. Aunt Lin began to stutter.
As soon as the words fell, Aunt Lin suddenly felt an invisible force behind her pull her, and then, her body dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, the original fresh life turned into a dried corpse that fell to the ground.
