Chapter 212: The Forgotten Past (3rd Watch)
What Mama Jia said, Wei Ying believed.
Because Mama Jia was right, Wei Ying was blinded by hatred and thought of everyone as narrow and selfish, Xie Yuan, as the head of the Xie family for a hundred years, would definitely not be selfish and avoid such a big mistake.
Looking at Xie Zhiyun's conduct, you know that she has never been selfish.
But Wei Ying back then was so miserable, she would be so paranoid to believe for many years, and it was understandable, no one could accuse her.
Wei Ying suddenly laughed, she lowered her head and covered her face with her rough hands.
"Thirteen years, thirteen years," she sighed, her voice choked, "the truth finally revealed." ”
The dead are gone, and the past cannot be traced, but this belated truth can comfort the living and make people feel at ease.
Wei Ying's tears slid down her emaciated cheeks, and one drop fell on her palm-mottled palm.
Those mottled traces are the hardships and sins she has endured in this life.
But even so, her life lines are long and deep.
Wei Ying, as her name suggests, is brave and fearless, never afraid.
Even the tears were silent, and no sound was made at all.
Xie Zhiyun felt very sad, she looked at Wei Ying's painful appearance, and seemed to recall her father who was in pain and helpless back then.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands took hold of her hand, freeing her from the pain of her old days.
Xie Zhiyun raised his head, saw Wei Ji's concerned face, and couldn't help but smile at him.
Her smile is like a pear blossom blooming, obviously without a rich fragrance, but still beautiful and affectionate, swaying.
Even if Wei Ying cried, she quickly wiped away her tears, and at the end, she looked at Xie Zhiyun and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Zhiyun, thank you for being willing to be a family member with me."
Xie Zhiyun has never cared about her paranoia and cynicism, even if her attitude is so bad, Xie Zhiyun is still bent on curing Shen Wenru.
can do this, Xie Zhiyun is really broad-minded.
Xie Zhiyun looked at her, and saw that her expression was stretched at the moment, and the haze that had plagued her for decades had dissipated with the truth of the past being revealed, and she was also a little happy in her heart.
"Auntie, we've always been a family."
As a family, it is natural to help each other.
Wei Ying nodded, she got up, and said, "After the words are finished, I won't bother, if there is anything in the future, you just call me, I will definitely do what I can." ”
After speaking, she had to let Xie Zhiyun and Wei Ji send her, and she left Chunhua Court quickly.
When her figure disappeared into the green path, Mama Jia said, "Mrs. Ying is really not easy. ”
After Mama Jia finished speaking, she said that she was tired, and Xie Zhiyun sent her back to the bedroom before returning to the yard.
The halberd was still sitting there and not moving.
Xie Zhiyun returned to Wei Ji's side, shook Wei Ji's hand gently, and then said: "Even if my aunt believed that her father did it, she didn't tell her father, and she insisted on making Wei and Xie stiff. ”
What was the situation in Langhuan, Taixing, Yezhou and other places back then, Xie Zhiyun knew everything clearly even when he was young.
After so many years of war, the people have long been struggling to make a living, and even Lang Huan's family has closed their doors to the world, and the Xie family has no longer let the clansmen go out, but began to build farmland and granges, restoring the early years of farming and reading heirlooms.
Why?
In order to be able to have food to eat during the war, and also to let the nearby people have a livelihood.
In troubled times, no one is immune.
Back then, Wei Ying had stopped believing the rumors of others, believing that they were killed by the patriarch of the Xie clan, but he didn't tell anyone, nor did he go to the Xie clan alone to have a fight with Xie Yuan.
Because if that's the case, the Wei clan and Lang Huan's clan will have a disagreement.
When the Wei family had just made a fortune, Wei Cang was still a general beside General Chen, and they relied on the foundation forged by themselves and the soldiers under their command, and they could not be shaken by Wei Ying's own hatred.
If you can not be an enemy of others, you will not be an enemy of others.
Therefore, this hatred Wei Ying endured.
After so many years, she has made herself look like this, isn't it hard to feel guilty?
Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyun couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really not easy for my aunt."
Wei Ji shook Xie Zhiyun's hand, and then said: "When I was a child, my family was poor, and my aunt didn't care about anything. ”
"My aunt was also very young at that time, but she had a lot of strength, she never admitted defeat, did not accept softness, and did not believe in fate."
"That's why my uncle likes her so much," said Wei Ji, "and my uncle has liked my aunt for many years, but he is thin-skinned, so he has never dared to say it, and then my aunt said that if he didn't say it, he would marry someone else, and my uncle asked for marriage." ”
Speaking of old things, Wei Ji still misses it: "Uncle is also very good." ”
Xie Zhiyun saw that he was also a little sad, so he pushed the teacup in his hand over and let him break free from his sadness.
"Little grandfather, weren't you in Taixing back then? Don't you remember what happened? ”
Wei Ji paused, he looked at Xie Zhiyun, as if he was recalling something.
Xie Zhiyun didn't know why, and looked at him and blinked.
The things of the year were clearly distinguished, Xie Zhiyun was actually relieved, and the gap with Wei Ying was also resolved, and Xie Zhiyun was even more happy.
At this moment, Xie Zhiyun looked relaxed, and even had a little liveliness that was rare in the past.
"What? Watch me do what? ”
The halberd seemed to be trying to rummage through his memories, but in the end, he couldn't remember anything.
Wei Ji sighed, held his hand and said: "I was nine years old that year, ten years old, I learned martial arts with my father in my early years, so I was very good, at that time I heard that Lang Huan was lively, I couldn't sit still, I wanted to go to Lang Huan to play." ”
Xie Zhiyun was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Wei Ji to say this.
"And then?" She suddenly felt a little nervous.
Wei Ji looked at Xie Zhiyun's eyes without dodging, and he said, "I don't remember later." ”
Xie Zhiyun: "Don't remember? ”
The garrison nodded.
He said: "I only remember that I led Liu Zhaohui and them to Langhuan secretly and went straight to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but after entering the Lantern Festival, we were separated." ”
"Because there are so many people."
"My last memory is the fireworks and silver flowers at the lantern festival, the dazzling lanterns hanging all over the street, and the sky and the earth are bright."
"And then I don't remember anything."
Wei Ji touched the back of his neck and said to Xie Zhiyun: "When I woke up again, there was a pain in the back of my head, and Liu Zhaohui told me at that time that I was injured and was hit in the back of the neck. ”
"But I lost the memory of that day, and I don't remember what happened."
Wei Ji looked at Xie Zhiyun: "Probably injured by the mountain bandits." ”
