Chapter 11: Mother??
"Xiaozhu, what's my mother's name?"
"The second lady's name is Qu Jingshui, a nice name, right?"
"yes, by the way, Xiaozhu, can I go see my mother?" Ying Zhen especially wanted to know what kind of person this Qu Jingshui was.
"Miss, in fact, since the second lady was locked up, the lord has stipulated that no one is allowed to visit the second lady, including you." Xiaozhu was a little depressed.
"Huh? In this way, then this Xu You, ah no, I, haven't I ever been to see my mother? Not since childhood? Ying Zhen almost said that she leaked, but the second lady was locked up when Xu Youzhi was just born, she didn't believe that Xu Youzhi hadn't seen her mother once.
"That's not it, Miss will secretly go to see the second lady every midnight."
"In that case, let's go now." Ying Zhen knew that she must have secretly gone to see her mother, so that Xiaozhu must be very clear about the location of the second lady!
"Miss, I know you have amnesia, so I secretly tell you that although I don't know why, every time you go to see the second lady, you will bring a bunch of willow branches."
"Oh oh, is this some code?" It doesn't matter if you don't care, you can just take a bunch with you.
followed Xiaozhu through a rugged detour, and came to the gate of a very deserted courtyard, and he was about to open the courtyard door to enter, but was pulled by Xiaozhu with one hand, "Miss, you can't go in here, let's go through the back door." ”
"Why?" Ying Zhen asked with a puzzled expression.
"There are guards behind this door, because people come to deliver food every day, so they are there to check the food and guard the second lady." Xiaozhu explained to himself carefully.
Entering the backyard through the back door, oh my God, Ying Zhen couldn't believe her eyes, where is this where people live, I didn't expect these people to snub her so much when they saw that the second lady was not favored! "Miss, come here, the second lady is inside." Came to the door of a house, the house is really broken, the roof up and down potholes, I don't know how many holes are broken, when it rains and snows, there must be no shelter from the cold, when the weather is hot, it will be hot like a stove.
Opening the wooden door that had begun to rot, there was a rancid smell of food inside, a woman was lying on a table, there were several rotten meals on that table, it seemed that she had been hungry for a long time, Ying Zhen saw that there were uncontrollable tears welling up in her eyes, maybe it was the body's feelings for the woman in front of her.
Wiping away her tears, Ying Zhen realized that the woman might have something wrong and was not asleep by herself, and went up to check, and sure enough, severe hunger, lack of water, malnutrition, and mild food poisoning.
"Xiaozhu, come here and help." Ying Zhen hurriedly asked Xiaozhu and her to carry the second lady to bed first, and then deal with the bad rice, I don't know if I don't know it, I was startled when I saw it, where is this eaten by people, it is not as good as pigs! She asked Xiaozhu to plug the holes in the wall, clean up the room by herself, and stay in such a place all day long, so it's strange that she doesn't get sick! Ying Zhen is really glad that she is a forensic doctor now, otherwise she may not even be able to save the people closest to her. After some busyness, the second lady's breath finally returned to calm, and she should wake up soon.
"Xiaozhu, there should be a kitchen in this place, right?" Ying Zhen hopes to hear an affirmative answer, if she lets this second lady go on like this, even if she is rescued, she will be starved to death.
"Yes, yes, but if you cook now, Miss, it is very likely that you will be discovered by those guards, and you will definitely be punished by the master at that time."
"Xiaozhu, I know you're worried about me, but you also saw that if I don't cook, the second lady will definitely starve to death!" Ying Zhen can't control so much now, she only knows that there is a living life in danger now, and she can't sit idly by!
"Okay, Miss, I'll help you!"
When I came to the kitchen, there was a thick layer of dust accumulated everywhere, and I opened the dust inside the lid of the pot to cough up.
"Miss, what should we do for Madame?"
"Well, let me think about it, Madame is in dire need of nourishment right now, but there is nothing in this kitchen except a few eggs, a little meat, and a little rice. With that, let's make preserved egg and lean porridge! ”
"Huh? Preserved egg and lean porridge? "Xiaozhu has never heard of such a dish.
"Oh, Xiaozhu, you don't need to know, let's start doing it quickly!"
"Okay!"
After it is done, although it is said to be preserved egg and lean porridge, but there are not so many seasonings in ancient times, so compared with what I make in modern times, it is far worse, although the taste may not be as good as I thought, but the nutritional value is only increasing.
"Here, Xiaozhu, come and have a bite." As soon as it was done, he couldn't wait to let Xiaozhu be his first taster, and as he spoke, he stuffed Xiaozhu with a spoon into his mouth, "How is it?" ”
"Miss, it's delicious, where did you learn this? The second lady definitely liked it. ”
"It's delicious, then let's serve this to my mother!"
When he came to the house, he found that the second lady on the bed had sat up, and Xiaozhu ran over and said, "Second lady, you are awake, come and taste the porridge that Miss made for you." ”
"You, what did you say? And so she came back? Her face was beaming with joy.
"That's right, you see, Miss is right behind you!"
She looked back and found that Yi Yingzhen was standing behind her, jumped out of bed and hugged her, and said softly, "Great, great, my reason is back, she didn't have a stomach for the spirit beast, I'm sorry, it's all for my mother who hurt you." ”
Ying Zhen noticed that although the second lady has gone through the vicissitudes of the years and her temples are gray, she still has a charm that can't be concealed, through this face, she seems to be able to see the beauty and elegance of her youth, and she is not white? Is she the woman in front of her born, why is there such a big difference between herself and her!
"Madam, it is true that Miss was not attacked by spirit beasts, but Miss has a disease called amnesia, and she doesn't remember anything." At this time, Xiaozhu spoke.
"Really?" The second lady was a little incredulous, and a little sad.
Whether in modern times or in this place, Yingzhen has never felt maternal love. In modern times, since I can remember, it was my father who raised her as a father and a mother, only knowing that her mother died in a car accident, and all the years left her was a pile of photos. The woman in front of her cares about herself is something she has never felt, perhaps, she really longs for maternal love, in this case, from today on, she is also my Yingzhen's mother!
"No, no, I do forget a lot of things, but I remember my mother!" Ying Zhen didn't want to make her mother, who had just confessed, sad.
"Don't talk about this, come, this is the porridge I specially made for your mother, you must drink not a drop left!"
She smiled, "Yes." ”
"Also, in the future, mother, you must be kind to yourself, with me, I will never let them bully you again. I will come to see you every midnight as before. ”
