Chapter 10: Crossing the Moon

There is a tradition in the Aquila Country, wandering people, after death, need to throw their corpses into the desert, in the yellow sand waiting for the vultures to eat, or lonely and gradually decay, the Aquila people believe that people come from the desert, and they need to return to the desert when they leave, only in this way can they be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

Early in the morning, Xiao Bei sent a few people to be responsible for sending Yue Lang's body back to the desert and burying her young life.

"Miss Yue told me before she died that she was afraid that one day something would happen, so she would put all the important things in a trusted friend." Xiao Bei watched the figure transporting the body gradually move away, and put away his usual playful smile.

"That friend is also a little girl in the Moon Tower, called Chunliu, I don't know if you know each other."

As soon as he heard this name, Zhou Song remembered the little girl in Zhou Cheng's arms.

"It's familiar to hear the name, if I'm not mistaken, I've met once." Zhou Song replied.

"Really? Brother Ye Mo doesn't often go in and out of these Fengyue places? Xiao Bei changed his face again and joked.

However, Zhou Song only smiled ambiguously and did not answer clearly.

Ye Xingchuan was so angry that he vomited blood, and immediately said excitedly: "I won't go to that kind of place!" ”

"Why is Miss Zhou's reaction bigger than Brother Ye?"

A question directly choked Ye Xingchuan, if it weren't for Zhou Song's tough soul exchange at night, he would definitely clarify with Xiao Bei.

"Without further ado, let's split into two ways, one to find Chunliu, and the other to go back to Zhou's mansion." Zhou Song interrupted them.

Although she didn't dare to be 100% sure, Zhou Song thought that her biological mother was related to Yue Lang, and forced Ye Xingchuan to exchange with her, just because she didn't dare to face her biological mother with Zhou Song's appearance.

Zhou Song wore a hat, covered his face tightly, and came to Zhou's mansion alone. As soon as I walked nearby, I saw that the front of the Zhou Mansion was surrounded by water, and a man shouted loudly from the crowd.

"Old man, why are you all gathered here and don't do business?" Zhou Song picked an old man on the periphery and asked.

"Hey, I heard that the prospective son-in-law of the Zhou Mansion was made a eunuch by Miss Zhou, I don't know if it's true, Zhang Wangcai is making trouble, it's lively now!"

"Isn't it, Zhang Wangcai is not a good thing, and eighty percent is a bad heart, and he ended up running into a master who is not easy to mess with." A vegetable seller interjected.

Zhou Song didn't answer, but just hummed a minor tune and left amid the howl of "Old Zhou's family, return my children and grandchildren".

She walked around her residence with ease, only to see Lu Tong reach out and pinch Aunt Su, and said sharply: "Old thing, you are still hard-mouthed!" Don't you want to live anymore? ”

The elderly Aunt Su was pinched by her and cried out bitterly: "Ouch, you still know that she is our young lady, I don't know, even if you want my life, it's useless!" ”

"You old disrespectful thing! Forget it, I'll clean you up later. ”

After Lu Tong scolded, he still felt angry, and kicked Aunt Su again, before leaving angrily.

As soon as Lu Tong left, Zhou Song hurriedly jumped down from the roof and helped Aunt Su up: "Aunt Su, are you okay?" ”

"Are you ......" Aunt Su looked at it for a long time before she recognized Ye Xingchuan's face, "Why are you back?" Miss, is she okay? ”

Zhou Song nodded, and helped Aunt Su to sit on the stone bench on the side.

"You better go quickly, I'm fine, even if there is something, my old life, it's not a pity to lose it." Aunt Su sat and rested for a while, then waved her hand to drive Zhou Song away.

"Aunt Su, what have they done to you these days?" Zhou Song didn't answer Aunt Su's words, but observed her distressedly. As soon as she was born, Aunt Su has been taking care of her, she was bullied, Aunt Su was always the first to defend her, and when she was injured, Aunt Su would also pay out of her own pocket to buy the best medicine to treat her injuries.

She watched Aunt Su grow old little by little, and Aunt Su was more like her own mother than her biological mother, who had never met.

"What else can I do, it's just that the second lady suffered, obviously her body is not good, and she has to be tortured by the poisonous woman of the Zhou Wang's family......"

"Aunt Su, why did the second lady never ...... with me Miss meet. ”

Zhou Song didn't dare to ask anyone else this question, she hoped to get the most gentle answer from Aunt Su.

"Well, that's a long story......"

Aunt Su let out a long sigh and fell into deep memories.

Su Yue is actually not the second lady's dowry maid, she is just a subordinate bought by Master Zhou to take care of the second lady.

When she first came to Zhoufu, she was already in her forties, and the second lady was pregnant. At first, she was a little afraid of this woman who didn't like to talk and was always in a daze, she silently took care of the second lady and watched the second lady's belly bulge day by day.

Finally, after she took care of the second lady for two months, the second lady said the first words to her:

"What's your name?"

"The slave's name is Su Yue."

"Do you have a husband?" The second lady smiled faintly, obviously not a few years older than Su Yue, but like an amiable elder.

"Nope." Su Yue shook his head bluntly.

"I have a daughter."

"Lang Zhong didn't say whether it was a man or a woman, how do you know it's a daughter?" Su Yue muttered in her heart, ignoring this inexplicable second lady.

Su Yue doesn't stay in the Zhou Mansion day and night, she will return to her home in the countryside when she has no work to do, take care of her parents, do housework, and occasionally ask the village matchmaker to help her find a few men.

One day, Su Yue and another little maid were cleaning in the second lady's bedroom, and seeing that the second lady was sleeping soundly, the two started to talk about homely things.

"Hey, have you heard, that Jiang Feiyan from our village is back!"

"Jiang Feiyan? Didn't she go to Mochizuki Tower to be a prostitute, how could she still have the face to go back to the village? ”

"I heard that there is a noble man who redeemed her life, and now he wants to marry her, and he is ready to take his father and mother over!"

Su Yue felt incredulous at the little girl's words: "This life is too good!" I remember, she is an orphan of the Lao Ye family, and the current father and mother are not biological! ”

"Yes, you have a conscience, right? That old Ye family is also miserable, raising so many orphans, no one thinks of repaying them......"

The little maid was happily chewing on the root of her tongue, completely oblivious to the fact that the second lady had been woken up by them.

"What are you talking about the old Ye family?"

The second lady spoke suddenly, almost scared the two to death, the little maid apologized hesitantly, and hurriedly ran away, leaving Su Yue alone to roll her eyes.

"Su Yue, what did you just say, what are the 'old Ye family' and 'orphans'?" The second lady didn't blame them, and still spoke softly.

"In our village, there is an old Ye family who specializes in adopting orphans, and they are a good family."

"Then are there any new orphans in the Lao Ye family recently? It's about that tall, it's a little girl. The second lady gestured, her face a little anxious.

"Slave go back and help you keep an eye on it."

There is indeed such a little girl who arrived at Lao Ye's house, and after Su Yue told the second lady the news, the second lady cried uncontrollably and thanked her again and again. Later, she began to bring the news of the little girl to the second lady, until the second lady gave birth, and the Zhou Mansion completely forbade her to return to the village, the news was broken, and the second lady became untalkative again.

Although Su Yue has never seen the little girl again, she can also imagine the later days of the little girl, if her life is hard, she should die of illness or starvation before she reaches adulthood, and if she is lucky, she will be bought by Mochizuki Tower.

It didn't take long for the second lady to give birth to a very beautiful daughter, Su Yue liked it very much, but the second lady was completely crazy, not only didn't want to look at the baby girl, but also found an opportunity to strangle her!

This frightened Su Yue, and hurriedly reported it to Master Zhou, who locked up the second lady and forbade the mother and daughter to see each other again. But Master Zhou was very dissatisfied with the second lady giving birth to a daughter, and since then, the treatment of the second lady in the house has plummeted, and this newborn is not welcomed.

Su Yue loved this little girl as if she were her own daughter, and she never thought about getting married again.

Without the protection of Master Zhou, the Zhou Wang clan became more and more rampant, looking for their stubble everywhere, and the life of the mother and son became more and more miserable.

"The second lady often told me that she only had one daughter, and told me to help her find her if I had the opportunity." Aunt Su said, smiling wryly and shaking her head, "How else can I find it at my age......"

Despite saying this, Aunt Su's eyes were full of regret, and she also hoped to help the second lady realize her long-cherished wish.

“…… The daughter of the second lady, what is her name and what is it like? The answer in Zhou Song's heart was already very clear, and she asked this question tremblingly.

"She looks very good, she looks very similar to the second lady," mentioning the little girl, Aunt Su smiled, "I remember the name very clearly, it's called 'Yue Lang'." ”

"The little girl was very lively and bright-minded, and always told us that her name means moon."

The more Lang Lang became, he should have crossed the moon and chased his own freedom like his father.

It's a pity that he died at a young age.

Zhou Song didn't tell Aunt Su that this girl named Yue Lang once thought that she had escaped from the confines of the desert, but in the end she was locked on the Moon Tower, looking at the spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The bright moon has since become out of reach.

On the other side, Xiao Bei and Ye Xingchuan were hurrying to Wangyue Tower.

"Miss Zhou, why do I think you seem to be a different person today?"

Xiao Bei asked with concern, he was afraid that last night's events would affect her and leave a shadow on her.

Yue Lang's death did bring a lot of impact to Zhou Song, but the person in this body at this time was Ye Xingchuan, who was still sulking about Zhou Song's "overlord hard bow" last night.

"Really?" Ye Xingchuan replied stiffly, his tone prickly.

"Yesterday I was drunk, but I never forget what I said. Could it be that Miss Zhou and Brother Ye really fell in love with the Soul Summoning Bell? ”

Ye Xingchuan glanced at Xiao Bei, although Xiao Bei didn't seem to be very reliable, he did help them a lot, and he was silent for a long time before he replied: "What if I say yes." ”

"That only proves my guess right." Xiao Bei smiled ambiguously.

"What speculation?"

Xiao Bei shook his head and did not answer.

Not long after, Xiao Bei, who had a gossip heart, and Ye Xingchuan, who was confused, rushed to Mochizuki Tower.
