Chapter 122: A Letter from My Mother
Chapter 122
Du Zhengyi slept until almost noon before getting up, took a shower, found a piece of clothing in the closet to change into, and walked downstairs It was almost twelve o'clock.
The hall downstairs was empty, he looked into the courtyard, and only saw mahjong and Guan Xinyue basking in the sun, mahjong continued to analyze the data left by Guan Yushan, Guan Xinyue was reading a book, it still looked like a boring mage history book. Recording history is as dry and boring as recording shampoo ingredients.
"Where's Roach?" He asked with a frown, he didn't sense Roach upstairs just now, and thought Roach was talking to them below.
"Only in this town, I don't know where to go." Mahjong said as he drank tea and stared at the data.
Guan Xinyue raised her head from the book and smiled at him, "Another thousand-mile horse has come down." ”
Du Zhengyi didn't understand what he meant, and Mahjong and Guan Xinyue tacitly laughed at each other.
The yard looked a little different from a few days ago, and Du Zhengyi looked around blankly, "Who dug the pit in the yard?" ”
Guan Xinyue sneered, now Du Zhengyi is familiar with it, it is Guan Xinyue's signature voice specially used to mock the mage.
"What did Roach do?" Du Zhengyi was a little confused, "What did he have a whimsical idea again?" If you dig a hole and don't fill it, it's causing you trouble again? ”
Guan Xinyue pursed her lips and said slowly, "He is not the only unreliable mage. ”
Du Zhengyi was really taken aback this time, and looked at mahjong silently.
Mahjong "leaned" and said with a broken jar, "I did it, what's wrong?" ”
"Have you eaten too much? Doctor? When Du Zheng asked him, his face was still as serious as ever, as if he was seriously seeking advice. Guan Xinyue laughed out loud as she watched the "poof" next to her, and picked up the book to cover her face.
"I got up early in the morning to loosen the soil in the yard, originally because I wanted to plant flowers. I activated an automation spell and stood here and watched. Mahjong said.
"And then you got addicted?" Du Zhengyi asked coldly.
"Then your Rocky came and talked to me, and what he said surprised me so much that I forgot what I had done. This magic never stopped, and then until the end of eating, hey, do you eat? Mahjong said.
Du Zhengyi was not disturbed by him, and looked at the depth of the pit, "Could it be that Luo Qi proposed to you and surprised you like this?" ”
"Roach said he dreamed you were dead." Mahjong shot back and said, satisfied to see Du Zhengyi's expression change slightly, "Maybe your breath of death is too strong, and you smoke him." ”
Du Zhengyi glanced at him silently, comprehending the complex meaning in his gaze, but there was nothing to say. Avoiding Mahjong's gaze, he turned and walked towards the corner gate of the courtyard, wanting to take a shortcut to get out. He said with some reproach, "I'll go look for him, you're too irresponsible." You know he's still a dynamite bag with unsafe insurance, and you know he's restless and leave him alone all morning? ”
"He said that he dreamed that Li Xu said to him, "He killed you." Mahjong said behind him. "Kill you, kill, past tense."
Du Zhengyi hesitated when he heard this, then turned around and glanced at mahjong, "It's not that Li Xu doesn't have the ability to do it, but it shouldn't be." Some details don't match. ”
"Hmm." Mahjong said, "We talked for a while, and I think so. Luo Qi said some evidence, which can indeed confirm that Li Xu should not have attacked you three years ago. I also believe in Roach's inference. ”
"Then why does Roach have such dreams?" Du Zhengyi said suspiciously, "Is it really a dream?" ”
"As far as I know, it could be a variant of some consciousness." Mahjong said, "It's a pity that the mage's dream interpretation can't be much better than the aunt who tells the fortune at the gate of the human temple." ”
Du Zhengyi couldn't help but say, "Why don't you give Luo Qi more attention and care more about him." ”
"Why don't you do the decoding work? Come on, ear bone nails for you. "Mahjong suddenly started a fire.
Du Zhengyi couldn't say any more, turned his head and walked out.
"You haven't told me what happened on your trip to Xizhou!" Mahjong said behind him.
"I'll talk about it later." As soon as Du Zheng spoke, he walked out of the courtyard gate.
Behind him, he heard Guan Xinyue say softly, "Uncle, why are you talking about a sudden quarrel?" It's not like you anymore. ”
"It's so worrying, annoying."
"What was Brother Du talking about just now, why did he tone like he had died before?" Guan Xinyue said.
"Dead? You have a lot of imagination, can a dead man speak? Can he be as annoying as him? Mahjong said frizzily.
"Cut, it's not okay to talk well, I'm going to feed the cat, you remember to fill in the hole! Such a deep pit can trip and fall to death at night! ”
Du Zhengyi walked down the alley, and gradually lost hearing their quarrel. The houses in the ancient town are tall, surrounded by water, walking in it, looking up and not seeing the outside, you don't feel that the town is actually the ancient town that is now the remaining part of the original town demolition, less than half the size of the original.
Roach doesn't leave town, and there really aren't many places to go. Empty houses and empty yards lose popularity, and Roach's favorite place to stay is the open space by the river at the mouth of the town. That place used to be the cat's favorite place to stay. Because of the large open space, it is best for basking in the sun.
Du Zhengyi walked all the way south along the alley to the east of the house, and when he walked out of the alley, he saw Luo Qi's back, sitting hunched over by the river, and looking himself like an old monkey. There were a few cats scattered around, and the black cat was indeed more flattering than the others, snoozing against Roach's lap.
Du Zhengyi walked over and sat down beside Luo Qi, looking at the river and basking in the early spring sun.
Luo Qi turned his face away and didn't look at Du Zhengyi.
Du Zhengyi was secretly surprised at first, thinking about it carefully, he had just woken up, and it didn't seem to make him angry like this. Otherwise, he is too dead to look at Roach?
He waited quietly for a while, only to realize that Roach might have red eyes, so he didn't want to be seen by him, and Roach was still a little stuffy when he spoke.
"I got a letter from my mom." Roach said.
"Oh." Du Zhengyi understood, "Do you want to meet your mother?" I can."
"I don't want to see her!" Luo Qi suddenly interrupted Du Zhengyi in a fierce tone.
Du Zhengyi was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything. After waiting for another long time, Roach turned his head and stared at his own shoes in distraction.
"Your mom is on your dad's side?" Du Zhengyi asked hesitantly, "But sooner or later, they will realize that they respect the child's choice." ”
"I know, I'm not blaming them for their position, or for what they did to me." "My mom said she was disappointed in me, and she said I couldn't understand my dad. She said that my parents were all for my good, and they did the best arrangements for me, and I always let them worry so much, and I was always so ignorant. ”
"These"
"Do you know what I saw in that perverted memory in his mind?" Luo Qi interrupted Du Zhengyi again in a strong tone, "I saw him being abused when he was a child, but his mother always thought that he was beaten by his father because he couldn't meet his father's requirements. Do you know what he has been longing for in that desperate situation? You can't imagine it. He didn't even crave his mother to protect him, he just longed for his mother to feel sorry for him, even if it was for him once. ”
