Chapter Twenty-Four: Seeing Things and Thinking of People

Shui Wuya finally fled back to the southeast and fled back to Longwan Mountain, but he didn't expect that the first thing he did when he returned to Linyuan Villa was to come back to mourn.

It is the funeral of the owner's wife, Chen. The fire crow cut off Banxia's head with his own hands, and sent someone to Linyuan Villa to provoke, and the owner's wife mistakenly thought that her daughter Wuya had suffered this bad luck after hearing about it, and immediately attacked her heart, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and her heart beat and breathed into arrest, and she was already confused after being rescued, and shouted in her mouth: "Ya'er...... Ya'er ...... Ya'er ...... Mother is here to accompany you...... Ya'er"

Since Shui Wuya was captured by the master of the Kun Hades Palace, the Chen family missed his daughter every day, and his health became worse and worse.

Wuya knelt in the mourning hall, refusing to stand up for a long time, the sleeves on both sides were wet and wet, and the tears couldn't be stopped, and everyone couldn't persuade them. kneeling until the funeral was about to come out on the seventh day of the funeral, Wuya finally spoke and asked the owner: "Daddy, can you open the coffin and let me see my mother for the last time?" ”

The owner of the water village was also heartbroken, but fortunately, Wuya finally came back, she had agreed to everything she had asked before, and this time was no exception. The coffin had already been nailed on the coffin, and the owner of the village ordered someone to nail it, and the time of the funeral was also disrupted, and the people in the village did not dare to come out to stop it, and the guests who came to mourn were not quiet.

Wuya has been guarding aside, not believing that her mother will leave without waiting for her to come back, so she just lay on the edge of the coffin and tears rained down, "Ya'er is back, mother, open your eyes and look at me......"

There were really too many tears, and the owner of the water village couldn't bear it, so he clicked on her acupoint, let her sleep for a while, and didn't let Wuya participate in the funeral ceremony and funeral and other follow-up things, and he was afraid that she would be too sad.

As for how she escaped back to the villa, Wuya didn't say much, only that it was with Banxia's assistance that she was able to escape from the Kun Hades Palace, and she didn't say a word about the hardships on the road, and even almost being kidnapped.

The winter of depression and slaughter soon came, and Wuya, who was already overly sad, fell ill again. Although Linyuan Villa is a family of medicine, how many doctors in the village have no way to take her illness, and the owner of the water village is also in a hurry, looking at Wuya who is weak and unable to get out of bed all day long, the charcoal fire in the house has never been broken, this southeast is as warm as spring, but several times Wuya is as cold as a piece of ice, and he can't wake up, which is really distressing.

However, Wu Yan is still optimistic, she can't get out of bed in winter, and she can occasionally sit up and practice the Kun Ming Mind Method to restrain herself, if only the Kun Ming Palace Master was here, at least it wouldn't make her so uncomfortable. The owner of the water village didn't understand, and thought that it was the people of the Kun Hades Palace who forced her to practice some evil mental method that led to this, and she was not allowed to practice it again, but in fact, this mental method was specially taught by the Kun Hades Palace Lord to protect her life, and it was harmless to people, but Wu Ya said lightly: "In previous years, it was like this when it was cold, and it would be natural to wait for spring." ”

In addition, when the second brother Shui Zetian has nothing to do, he runs to chat with Wuya about the big and small things that have happened in the village over the years, but the mother's affairs are not mentioned, the eldest brother Shui Runtian and the second aunt also come over from time to time, and the sister-in-law is pregnant and comes less often, in short, everyone is still around Wuya as before, but sometimes it seems a little polite, what they say, Wuya just listens.

She doesn't hate these noises, but this will suddenly miss the coldness in the southwest, when it was so quiet that only the beep of firewood was there, and there was Cangli in the next room, she could sleep all day without anyone disturbing, before Cangli didn't allow her to go back to Linyuan Villa, and now she sneaked back, I don't know if Cangli will be angry, and then suddenly catch her back in the middle of the night like nine years ago?

One late night, she suddenly woke up in a daze, feeling that there was someone in front of the bed, she carefully opened half of the bed curtain, but found that there was nothing abnormal, but there was a very familiar and unique smell in the air, "Cangli!" Cangli! Is that you? ”

No one responded, and after a while, the light was turned on behind the screen, and the two maids who were sleeping outside a wall both came in, "Miss, are you going to get up at night?" ”

"Uh...... It's okay, I'm thirsty, pour me some water. ”

"That's right, keep the water warm before going to bed, I'll pour it for you."

After drinking the water, Wuya had no intention of continuing to sleep, she had slept enough this winter, she suddenly looked forward to the appearance of that person, but he didn't, until dawn, she squinted, but was quickly woken up, "What's going on outside, so noisy?" ”

"Miss Hui, it's some people who are sprinkling and cleaning, today is the end of the year, the owner said that Miss came back in a hurry, and she didn't clean it carefully before, just while the whole villa was cleaning today, I sent some more people over."

"It's the first day of Kyushu on a cloudy day?"

"Yes, Miss, but everything in the village is simple this year......

"Go and bring my clothes, I'm going to the ancestral hall to put incense on my mother."

According to the practice of Linyuan Villa, the last night of the end of the year to go to the ancestral hall to keep the New Year, this Wuya remembers, Wuya still remembers that every time he falls asleep in the middle of the year, he wakes up in bed, at that time, his mother is always busy, as long as there is delicious and fun, the first time to give is her, the two brothers always say that the mother is eccentric, but they themselves are so accustomed to endless.

Unconsciously, I walked to the front of the ancestral hall, there is no previous feeling at all, this place should have been renovated, there is no trace of the past, the pair of stone statues are gone, Wu Ya remembers that once here somehow broke his knee, the pain was so painful that he cried, and his mother scolded the stone statues in order to coax her and said that they were not good at guarding the door. As soon as he thought of this, Wuya couldn't help but tears began to roll in his eyes again, and suddenly heard someone talking inside:

"It's really deserted at the end of this year, the whole villa has nothing to prepare, and it was lively in previous years."

"It's not that the owner's wife is gone, and there is no one to take care of many things in the village."

"I heard that when the young lady is born, she will take over the affairs of the village, and I don't know if she can afford such a heavy responsibility as the entire villa."

"That's not necessarily, if the eldest young lady takes over the affairs of the village, what position should the county lord put when she marries in the future......"

Wuya was angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but rush in, "What kind of tongue is chewing, the ancestral hall is also a place for you to talk nonsense!" A sentence suddenly appeared, Shengsheng startled the two maids who sprinkled and swept the incense case, although Wuya has been away from home for many years, she doesn't understand the rules in the village, and she doesn't have to abide by it anyway, but it is disrespectful to talk about the deceased people in front of the spirit cards of the ancestors in the ancestral hall.

Seeing that they were so frightened that they were silent, Wuya didn't want to worry too much about them, "Let's go out." ”

The room was finally deserted, and I could finally be alone with my mother for a while. Wuya lit three sticks of water agarwood, which is still my mother's favorite incense, and then kept kneeling and said some sad words alone. Three months have passed, and this matter is finally impossible to let go, Yin Yin hates Kun Hades Palace very much, but he still can't hate it, and I'm afraid that there is only Cangli in the middle.

Near noon, Wu Ya got up and left the ancestral hall to go to his mother's courtyard. This courtyard is still so familiar, the appearance has not changed at all, there is no name here, it was originally extended next to the owner's yard. The owner's wife likes to be quiet, the owner is busy with affairs and is afraid of disturbing her to deliberately set up such a place, and now the servants in this courtyard have been dismissed to other courtyards, and there is only one nurse who accompanies Mrs. from childhood to adulthood is still here, she is old and misses, and she can't do anything.

Seeing things and thinking about people, I couldn't help but cry again. According to the custom of Kyushu, all the daily items used in the deceased life must be burned to sacrifice the souls of the dead, but the owner of the house ordered everything in the courtyard to be kept as it was, thinking that it was as if the person had not left, and only said that he would take these things with him after he died.

Wuya lay on the bamboo bench where her mother often rested, she felt very comfortable, even the recess of the chair was just right, just like lying in her mother's arms, and gradually fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took, the second aunt actually found here.

"Ya'er, why are you sleeping here? This bamboo chair is so cold, there is no fire in the house, you are not well yet, don't lie here. The second aunt woke up Wuya and helped her up.

"What time is it?" Boundless sleep was a blank in his mind.

"It's past noon."

"Hmm...... That's the time to go back. ”

"Come to me, I've just been looking for you everywhere, I've made you a few new clothes recently, come and try to see if it fits, the cloudy day is the first day, you also have to appear in front of everyone decently, right?"

Just before the niece and nephew walked to the door, the nurse came in with the food, and saw that Wuya was going out, so she grabbed Wuya's hand tightly and pulled it into the house, she watched the owner's wife grow up, and she grew up with Wuya with her own hands, although she was old, she only thought about Mrs. and Mrs. 's children in this life.

"It's all your mother's favorite food, come." The nurse put the chopsticks in Wuya's hand, looking at her with blank eyes, this ardent expectation, these shriveled old eyes, but how many days and nights Mrs. missed her daughter.

Wuya was stunned, looking at the nurse's eyes as if she saw something, she was sad for her mother, but who noticed that this nurse who took care of her mother since she was a child was not equally sad, but the nurse's sadness was deeper, and no one could understand it.

Wuya clenched his chopsticks and cheered up, he didn't have the appetite to eat well in the past few days since he came back, "Auntie, I'll finish lunch here first and then go over, why don't you go back first, and I'll go to you after eating?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll just sit here and wait for you to come over." The second aunt is quite patient, just like her own daughter to Wuya, poor Wuya has no mother as soon as she comes back, she was arrested by those evil and treacherous people in the Kun Hades Palace when she was so young, and she came back with an incurable stubborn disease.

The nurse brought two more dishes up, "Eat slowly, whatever you want to eat, tell the nurse, and the nurse will make it for you." ”

Wuya thought that the nurse still had to cook, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, these are enough to eat." "Now Wuya is not as picky as before, this is all trained by Yuxi, if you don't eat, you will be hungry.

After eating, the nurse took Wuya into the bedroom of the owner's wife, and moved out two large boxes of things, all of which were prepared by Mrs. Wuya, one box still contains her childhood favorite toys, clothes worn before, and the other box has new clothes made for Wuya every year, and more importantly, there is a set of half-finished golden wedding dresses.

"Before, Mrs. still talked about only seeing the girl marrying in, not seeing the girl marrying out, since the young master Runtian's daughter-in-law entered the door, Mrs. began to make this wedding dress with gold thread for you, stitch by needle, all sewn by herself, but unfortunately it was not done, so she went to ......" The nurse choked up as she spoke, and Wuya also cried bitterly.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, your aunt will do it for you in the future, treat your aunt as a mother."
