Chapter 6: The Bell and the Epiphany
I don't know why, Zhou Song saw the second lady's crazy appearance, as if he saw Yue Lang, goosebumps fell to the ground, and he even wanted to escape. She calmed her breath, told herself in her heart that this person was her biological mother, and asked as calmly as possible, "What bell?" β
"That's, it's my love token, as soon as the bell rings, it's Baili who comes to me......" The second lady looked at Zhou Song very helplessly, and when she mentioned the name "Baili", a strange light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and a sweet smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth.
"Who is Baili?"
The second lady shook her head weakly, closed her eyes in despair, and pointed to Aunt Su and Lu Tong on the side.
Everyone knew at once, she meant to let Aunt Su and Lu Tong go out, Zhou Song waved his hand to the two and motioned for them to go out.
"But ......"
"If we don't let the second lady settle down first, we will all be punished." Aunt Su stopped Lu Tong, who was about to rush forward, and shook her head slowly, and Lu Tong went out stupidly.
Seeing the two leaving, the second lady spoke weakly: "You can help me to the bed first." β
Zhou Song did so, and the second lady looked much calmer, not at all crazy just now.
What do you mean by that?" Zhou Song sat on the edge of the bed, not daring to look directly at the face of the second lady, to be honest, she was not sure if she wanted to hear the answer.
"You know what? I used to have a daughter. The second lady smiled lightly, not in a hurry to say the answer, but remembered the distant past, and opened her mouth like a story.
Zhou Song nodded silently.
"I have a very lovely daughter with the person I love, but I left her as soon as she was born."
Hearing this, Zhou Song seemed to be greatly shocked, she felt that the air around her was solidified, and she was suddenly unsure whether the "daughter" in the mouth of the woman in front of her was herself.
Zhou Song plucked up his courage and asked this sentence tremblingly: "Why did you leave her?" β
"Because ......" The second lady was about to speak, but she paused again, and asked thoughtlessly: "Aren't you going to help me find the bell?" β
Zhou Song was stunned for a moment, but the second lady didn't finish speaking, but let her breathe a sigh of relief; "I'll help you find it."
"On our side, men give a kind of bell to their beloved woman, and even if the two are separated later, when they meet again, the bell will ring, and I just heard the bell."
"Baili is my lover, and I always wear the bell he gave me."
"The bell hasn't been ringing in a long time, so I've been waiting for ......"
"Don't talk about it!"
Zhou Song suddenly interrupted the woman who was immersed in the memory, she couldn't bear to listen to it, her biological mother was revealing the bloody facts, and she was worried that she was also part of the terrible facts.
"You have a daughter, her name is Zhou Song, right?"
She asked this sentence excitedly, and now she asks the other party, as if she is taking a reassuring pill for herself.
"I don't have a daughter surnamed Zhou."
A cruel word was like a basin of ice water poured on Zhou Song's heart.
"What are you talking about, your daughter is by your side, her name is Zhou Song, you just haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Zhou Song couldn't control his emotions anymore, and grabbed the second lady's shoulders tightly, she was about to lose control.
"I don't have a daughter surnamed Zhou! I don't have a daughter with that bastard surnamed Zhou! β
The second lady was frightened by her question, and was no longer a quiet look, but more angry than Zhou Song.
"The bell is ringing, do you hear it? You let go of me, I'll find it myself! β
She struggled violently and yelled. Aunt Su and Lu Tong, who were staying outside, heard the shouting and hurriedly opened the door, only to see that the second lady was even more emotional, and kept beating Zhou Song, they wanted to step forward to help, but they were stopped by Zhou Song;
"You go to Miss, let Miss come over, the second lady just wants to see Miss!"
It is absolutely impossible to let others know that although Zhou Song tried her best to press the second lady, she was reluctant to use her strength at all because of her biological mother, but the second lady was completely merciless and grabbed Zhou Song's eyes fiercely.
A bloodstain immediately appeared on Zhou Song's face, and if she hadn't dodged it in time, her eyes would have suffered.
Ye Xingchuan came quickly, only to see the two twisting together, although Zhou Song subdued the second lady, he had already scratched many scars on his face.
Zhou Song couldn't bear to do it, but Ye Xingchuan was different, he had never seen this woman, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward to help. Seeing someone approaching, the second lady broke down even more, and shouted again:
"Bells! The bell is ringing again, do you hear me? β
"Let go of me, he's coming for me!"
"There are no bells at all!" Zhou Song's reason was about to fall apart, and she felt like she was about to be tortured by her own mother.
"You let go, let me come." Ye Xingchuan walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
However, at the moment when Ye Xingchuan touched her, she heard-
A crisp ringing around them!
Zhou Song instantly felt that the world was spinning, and the melodious ringtone was more like a whisper of a demon to her, which was a story of love and a curse to her.
She seemed to see that there was once a pair of lovers, under the starry night sky, telling each other admiration, and the words of love invisibly tied them together for eternity.
All this should have been beautiful, but Zhou Song felt pain, as if she was being punished in some way, her head was buzzing, and she couldn't focus her gaze.
After discovering that Zhou Song's state was wrong, the second lady took out a hairpin from under the pillow, and stabbed Zhou Song's neck without saying a word!
"Be careful!" Ye Xingchuan's eyes were quick, and he immediately blocked the hairpin that was stabbed hard, but the hairpin still pierced his palm.
The second lady found that she had really hurt someone, and she was completely shocked, her whole body was sore, she dropped her hairpin, and sat on the ground decadently.
"Ye Xingchuan," Zhou Songdizzy couldn't stand steadily, she tried her best and stretched out her hand to Ye Xingchuan, "Give me the hairpin." β
Ye Xingchuan didn't know what she was going to do, but he still picked up the hairpin and handed it to her.
Zhou Song took the hairpin, and he did not hesitate to make a cut in his hand.
"...... you?!" Ye Xingchuan was shocked, but he felt a wave of dizziness coming to him, and it didn't take long for him to pass out and fall to the ground.
At the moment when their blood fused, the bell of fate rang for them again......
To the west of Yunguiguo, there is an ethereal and mysterious country, where the people are simple and unrestrained.
As the morning sun hangs and the morning heat is already tinged, the industrious vendors place their new goods on the side of the street, women go out into the street in droves, and a few children run around the market.
"Aya, what are you going to buy today?" A dark-skinned, handsome and hearty man put all kinds of goods on the ground, and his enthusiastic smile was a little shy when facing the woman called "Aya".
"I'm looking for an herb, do you have it here?"
"Herbs? You should go to the drug dealer and buy it, I ......" "Shhh β
Aya squatted down, and a finger gently covered the man's lips, and the man's face turned red instantly.
"I'm looking for a very precious herb that ordinary drug dealers don't have."
Aya whispered in his ear, and her breath sprayed on the sensitive ear, tickling the man's heart.
ββ¦β¦ I'll help you find it. β
The man's name is Yue Baili, and he is a well-known merchant in the Kingdom of Eagles. As his name suggests, he traveled hundreds of miles, back and forth between the Kingdom of Aqua and the Kingdom of Clouds, looking for all kinds of novelties. He had traveled a lot, but lately he hadn't wanted to leave so much, because he had met a girl named Tuolanya in a small town in the Kingdom of Aquila.
Tuo Lanya is also very famous in the small town, although there is no shortage of beauties in the Aquila Country, but there are not many beauties like her who meet once in ten years, especially in such a small town. She is not only beautiful, but also lively and cheerful, and occasionally a little eccentric, very likable.
When Yue Baili first arrived in the small town, no one cared about the strange things he sold, only Tuo Lanya came to him every day, fiddling with the things on his stall, and listening to him talk about the origin of these things one by one.
On this day, Tuo Lanya suddenly said that he was looking for an herb, and although he was confused, he still couldn't resist the request.
They agreed to meet in the evening.
The town is located in the middle of the desert, surrounded by only moonlit nights except for wind and sand, and a quiet moon illuminates a tacit secret.
"Found it, here!"
I don't know how long it took to walk, Tuo Lanya finally laughed, and walked towards a cluster of flowers that were quietly blooming for more than a hundred miles.
"Look, isn't it amazing that the goddess told me that this flower only blooms at night?"
Tuo Lanya excitedly introduced to Yue Baili, as if to say: "I know no less than you."
Yue Baili looked at her excited appearance, just smiled lightly, he has been gone for so many years, if there is anything he has not seen, it may be such a cute and innocent girl who makes him fall in love at first sight.
"Didn't you say it's an herb, what do you want to use it for?"
"It's not so much a herb as a magic potion." Speaking of this, Tuo Lanya quieted down, and a faint flush appeared on her face, "It's a potion that can only be used on lovers. β
Hearing this, Yue Baili's heart tightened: "Do you want to ...... For whom? β
Tuo Lanya stopped talking, and her expression became more and more shy. Yue Baili was even more worried: "You, do you have a lover?" β
The moment he saw Tuo Lanya nodding, Yue Baili couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, only to feel that his love had turned into wishful thinking.
"I have someone I like, but I don't know if he likes me or not. The goddess told me that if you pick the flowers when they are blooming, and then soak them in water and give them to them, you can make the other person like you and you will like them for a lifetime. β
Yue Baili shook his head, not knowing how to react except for a wry smile.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tuo Lanya continued to say to herself: "However, if the other party likes me, I don't need this." β
- "So he likes you?" β
- "So you like me?" β
When the two sentences overlapped, both young men were stunned.
Perhaps too shy, Tuo Lanya was about to get up and run away, but was stopped by Yue Baili.
"Likeβ"
"I like you!"
"Aya, I've liked you all my life."
Tuo Lanya only felt the blood all over her body surging to her face, and she felt a little lightheaded in the face of such an enthusiastic confession.
"I don't need any herbs, I'll like you for the rest of my life."
Yue Baili took out the bell that had been prepared from his body and put it in the palm of Tuo Lanya's hand.
He thought, it was time for him to stop.
