Chapter Seventy-One: The Corpse
"She just died, and when she came back, she had only half a life left, and I don't know why, she annoyed the Lord, so I killed her in a fit of anger."
Dong Nuan was very excited, and was already paralyzed on the ground, Bai Shao helped Dong Nuan up, "Is it Shangguan's family, why is it?" ”
The man was also a little uncomfortable when he saw Dong Nuan so sad, he didn't expect Dong Nuan to know about the Shangguan family, "I said, I can't say anything else." ”
Liu Chang saw that this person's mouth was so hard, and said, "Since you said that she was killed, what about the corpse!" ”
"Thrown into a mass grave."
"Isn't it enough for you to kill my mother? Why throw her there. ”
"It's all orders from above, I'm just a small person, what can I do."
At this time, Dong Nuan's face was already full of tears, and she whimpered and said, "Master, I'm going to find my mother... I want a mother... I want my mother..."
Liu Chang was very distressed about Dong Nuan, so he ordered: "Take him down!" If you take a few more people to watch, you must not have an accident, you know? ”
"Yes!"
On the way to the mass grave, Dong Nuan calmed down, and recalled the conversation between the two that he had heard before, and he was very sure.
After her mother was adopted by the Shangguan family, something must have happened, so she left the Shangguan family, and as for the person who arrested Gu's mother, she also knew that it was to threaten a person named Shangguan Ye.
Then the person who arrested his mother must be the one who has an enmity with Shangguan Ye.
Gu's mother said before that if the hidden family wants to enter the office again, will the person who killed her mother be from the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Dong Nuan felt that something was wrong, since that person had arrested Gu's mother and wanted to threaten Shangguan Ye, there was no reason to kill his mother, and the person she caught should not be the person she had heard talking to Gu's mother before.
Although she doesn't know if her mother had an accident now, she knows that this incident must have something to do with Shangguan Ye, and she regrets that she didn't struggle to stop Gu's mother when she was in the hospital.
Now she regretted dying, but there was no way around, when she saw those people, her mind was already in a mess, so she was wrong, really wrong.
Liu Chang, who looked at the winter warmth, knew that the little girl was now very self-blaming,
But it wasn't her fault.
"Dong Nuan, I don't know what happened yet, whether something happened to your mother. But this matter will definitely be investigated. ”
"Master, I know that my mother must have offended someone by being forced to leave Shangguan's house, so there have always been people who want to find my mother, although I don't know who it is, and I don't care if my mother has an accident, I must find out about this matter."
Hearing Dong Nuan's words, Liu Chang knew that there were some things that the little girl didn't need him to say, no matter what, as long as Dong Nuan wanted it, he would definitely help.
The two did not speak again until the carriage listened, and the coachman outside said, "Master, young lady, you have arrived." ”
Dong Nuan got up first, opened the door and got out of the car, and Liu Chang followed behind and got out of the car.
There is a forest in front of you, and through the woods is a mass grave. Dong Nuan didn't dare to move forward, she was a little scared, but she wanted to see if her mother was there.
"Winter is warm, or you don't open your mouth, I'll go."
"No, master... I'm going, and no one knows my mother better than I do, so I have to go. ”
"Okay, then let's go together."
Now that summer has passed, some of the leaves have fallen to the ground, and it is extremely desolate. The woods were not large and quickly passed through.
Because it is a mass grave, the smell is a little unpleasant, and you can see some dogs eating dead people, Dong Nuan's heart is becoming more and more uncomfortable, looking at the land in front of him, and slowly shed tears.
"Let's look for it separately, what kind of clothes is your mother wearing today?"
"It's cyan with begonia flowers on it."
"Did you hear it all? Spread out and find it. ”
"Yes!" For a while, everyone scattered to look for it, and Dong Nuan slowly walked in one direction.
Liu Chang was afraid that something would happen to Dong Nuan, and he followed behind Dong Nuan, there were dirt bags in some places, and I don't know if there were buried people, and there were white bones in some places, which was said to be a mass grave, but in fact, it was more of a prisoner's corpse or an inexplicable dead person thrown here, not in one place. It's just that there are more corpses thrown in this area, so everyone tacitly assumes that this is a mass grave.
At this time, they were all looking for Gu's mother here, but after a long time, there was no news, and Dong Nuan became more and more panicked.
She touched her fast-paced heart and looked in one direction, where she felt her mother was. So she walked over.
It was in front, there was a lot of tall grass, and after Dong Nuan walked in, she found that there were dogs eating something, she hurriedly rushed over, and Liu Chang saw it and hurriedly drove those dogs away.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong with Dong Nuan, and he looked at the corpse in front of him that he couldn't see anymore, and suddenly knelt on the ground. The man was dressed in blue and embroidered with begonia flowers, but his face was no longer visible, and there was a lot of blood on his body.
Dong Nuan looked at her clothes, she couldn't believe what she saw, she lifted her clothes, wanting to see if there was a birthmark on her arm. However, although the man was gnawed by dogs in some places, he could still see that there was indeed a red birthmark on his arm, so he believed that the corpse was his mother.
She trembled her hands, desperate, and lay on Gu's mother's body, crying, "Mother... Mother..."
"Winter warm, you calm down."
"Master, I don't have a mother anymore, I don't have a mother anymore."
"You still have me, Dong Nuan... And me. ”
But Dong Nuan still blindly hugged Gu's mother, like a coquette, wanting to call Gu's mother up.
However, this is all an assumption of warm winter, and it is no longer possible.
"Dong Nuan, you get up first, let's take your mother back, okay?"
Dong Nuan didn't seem to hear it, it was still like this, she didn't want to do anything now, she just wanted to accompany her mother.
Seeing Dong Nuan like this, Liu Chang was very distressed, slowly bent down, gently took Gu's mother's body out of Dong Nuan's arms and put it on the ground, and then hugged Dong Nuan.
In the face of Liu Chang's actions, Dong Nuan didn't react at all, just blindly cried.
At this time, a subordinate came over and saw Liu Chang holding Dong Nuan, and there was a corpse next to him that looked like Liu Chang was looking for.
"Find someone to bring the body back! Buy a good coffin and place it well. ”
"Yes, I'll go."
Liu Chang carried Dong Nuan to the carriage and wanted to go back. When he started walking, Dong Nuan fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Looking at Dong Nuan's appearance, Liu Chang touched her face, not minding that Dong Nuan's body was covered in blood.
He knew that the little girl in front of him was very similar to Xizhou, and she treated her feelings the same. As long as it is a person who is good to himself, he will be good to that person with his heart and lungs, even if it is his own life, he can also block it, and it is for this reason that Xizhou died.
At this time, Liu Chang was a little afraid that Dong Nuan would step into the back road of Xizhou, which was also what he wanted Dong Nuan to find someone who loved her and could live an ordinary life, even if there was no glory and wealth, as long as it was safe and happy.
But now that so many things have happened, I'm afraid it won't be as he wants.
After arriving home, Dong Nuan opened her eyes, in fact, she didn't fall asleep, she just kept thinking about how to find her mother's murderer, so she wanted to calm down.
She thought it out clearly along the way, since she wanted to find out the truth, she must find out what Shangguan Ye had to do with her mother, what did the so-called hidden family have to do with her mother, why did she hunt down and kill her mother, and who killed her mother.
I still remember that Gu's mother once told her that the hidden family wants the country, will it be because of this reason that her mother will die.
Liu Chang got out of the carriage and said, "Winter Nuan, get off!" ”
"Master!"
Although he felt very sad, seeing that his master was so worried about him, Dong Nuan slowly hooked the corners of his mouth and got out of the carriage.
After arriving at the room, Liu Chang spoke: "Dong Nuan, I know that you really want to find out how your mother died, but I have to tell you something, no matter what, I will help you, so when I don't know what the situation is." I hope you can't do something irrational. ”
"Master, my mother is gone, but I don't know how she died, I can save her, I can obviously stop them from taking my mother away when I was in the hospital, but I panicked at that time, so I let them take her away. That's why I killed my mother, I know where she is, but I still left. It was all my fault and my fault that my mother faced that person alone. ”
"Dong Nuan, you calm down, it has nothing to do with you, you are just a child, it is normal for you to be scared and panic in the face of danger. You've done a good job of following and finding out where your mother's captor is. Even if you can't save your mother, it's just that you don't have the ability, I'm glad you didn't go in and didn't find out, and I'm sure your mother doesn't want anything to happen to you. ”
Dong Nuan listened to Liu Chang's words calmly, and was also thinking, "Master, you don't have to comfort me, no matter what you say, I still can't protect the people I care about, I don't have the ability!" ”
"You can't think like that, it's normal that you're young and can't do it. Your mother would rather send you to Renyazi for your safety, and wants you to go to the Guogong Mansion. But she can't let you really be a maid, do you know how many things she did behind the scenes? She won't let you leave her side unless she has to.
You are in the Guogong Mansion, in fact, you are not a maid at all, Mrs. Tai didn't let you do anything, and let the people below take care of you, do you think that a person will be so inexplicably good to you?
No, it's all done for you by your mother, it's all for you, and the bureau is just for you to stay in the Guogong Mansion. After knowing that something had happened to you, I was determined to let you go, and that's when I found me.
I can't tell you why I took you as a disciple, but remember that I wouldn't know you existed without your mother. ”
