Chapter 429: The Scepter
"There's really something!!" Xie Yuzhou squatted on the ground with a look of surprise.
Everyone retreated on both sides, and Xu Shiyun helped the old lady forward.
The ancestral hall was deserted, and the weeds had grown to the height of their legs, which was still a temporary path for the attendants.
The ancestral hall burned in darkness and had long since collapsed.
Old Mrs. Ning sighed deeply, squatted down, and picked up the red cloth tremblingly.
After many years of dust in the ground, the red cloth faintly faded a little.
She lifted the corner of the red cloth, Xie Yuzhou's eyes were sharp, and she immediately shouted: "It's a pendant ......"
On a thin silver chain, a small pendant hangs, which looks extremely exquisite.
"It's like a small scepter......" Xu Shiyun couldn't help but light up slightly when he saw the pendant.
The delicate and small scepter pendant is covered with quaint patterns, and it seems to have a jewel the size of a fingernail.
"Wow, if this is a big scepter, look at how bluffing." Xie Yuzhou exclaimed.
Ning carefully rubbed the pendant, and he was a little close to this scepter in his bones.
In her memory, it seems that from birth, she has a pendant around her neck.
She even remembers the days she spent with the tiger mother, but she can't remember who put her deep in the mountains.
"Mother, I'll bring it to you." Xu Shiyun said with a smile.
Xie Yuzhou helped the old lady sit on the threshold, and Lu Chaochao lifted his grandmother's hair with his feet. Xu personally hung the small pendant around her neck.
The sun shines on the scepter and seems to glow.
Ning gently stroked the pendant, looking a little nostalgic.
"I was born without a father or mother, and this pendant is probably something to prove my identity." The old lady sighed.
"Mother, you have us." Xu hurriedly took her hand.
The old lady nodded.
"Since you have returned to Taoyuan Village, let's give incense to our ancestors. The people in Taoyuan Village are kind-hearted, and I am the one who has caused them. ”
As early as when I came, I had already prepared incense wax paper money.
At this moment, the guards have simply sorted out this place.
Incense is lit, and the green smoke drifts straight into the sky.
Ning held incense in both hands, followed by Xu Shiyun and Lu Chaochao.
"Ning'er took the children and came back to thank the ancestors. Thank you to our ancestors for their many years of protection...... It was Ning'er who brought disaster to Taoyuan Village and was the sinner of Taoyuan Village. Taoyuan Village kindly took her in, but suffered from this catastrophe.
After the old lady finished worshipping, her mood was also a little low.
"Let's go home and see. Yun'er, you haven't been back to our home. The old lady took her daughter and Chao Chao's hand and walked to the innermost part of the village.
Near the side of the hill, there is a small farmhouse fenced off.
It's just that the original fence has now fallen to the ground, and it can't be seen in its original appearance.
"Originally, melons and fruits were planted here, and vegetables were planted here. Yes, there is also this tree...... "Mrs. Ning walked to the jujube tree tremblingly, the small seedling that was the size of the palm back then is now the big jujube tree that she looks up to.
"I thought it would die in that fire."
It's harvest season, and the trees are full of red dates.
"This tree was planted when I was pregnant with you. I thought that when you grow up, I can make snacks for you in the future. But I didn't want to, and I never waited for my daughter.
"I can make snacks now." Xu Shiyun pursed her lips with a smile in her eyes.
The jujube tree grows very well, and the jujube tree is so heavy that it bends the tree.
With a slight lift of her hand, she could pick it up.
The entrance of the jujube is sweet and delicious: "Mother, it's delicious." She looked at her mother with a smile.
Xie Yuzhou was like a monkey, and climbed the tree in three or two clicks: "If you don't eat it, it will be ripe, take it away, and make dried dates if you can't finish it." ”
Xie Yuzhou took the attendants to pick dates.
Xu helped his mother to the house.
"Back then, I gave birth to you in this room......" also got married in this room.
"Many of the clothes that were made for you were also reduced to ashes in that fire."
The old lady wept bitterly in the house.
After a long time, Xu Shiyun helped the old lady with red eyes to go out.
The old lady hurried all night, and now she cried again, and became more and more tired. Xie Jingxi said: "Rest in the village first, and return in the afternoon." ”
Xie Jingxi found a relatively complete house in the village and ordered someone to clean it up simply. So they set up camp in the village, and the attendants drew some water from the well for the masters to scrub.
"Mother, Yun'er will scrub it for you." It's not good to bathe outside now, but you can scrub it a little more comfortably.
Xu Shiyun took the maid to scrub the old lady.
"Huh......" Dengzhi took off the old lady's clothes.
"Madam, what is on the old lady's back? It's like a birthmark, but it's not like a ......" The old lady has never liked outsiders to serve, and this is the first time she has been groomed.
"It's like a painting." Xu Shiyun muttered.
Xu Shiyun couldn't help but be a little shocked when she saw the marks on the old lady's back.
The old lady didn't care: "I didn't have it." ”
"When the village was slaughtered, there was a fire all over the village, and when I escaped, I was already a burning man. My whole body was burning, and I thought I was going to be burned alive. ”
At that time, she ran frantically up the mountain.
But the more she ran, the bigger the fire on her body, and the pain in her body was so severe that she was burned alive and passed out.
When she was unconscious, she felt as if something had broken free from her spine.
But when he woke up again, his clothes were already burned to ashes.
Himself, unscathed.
"After the fire, this strange thing grew on my back......"
Lu Chaochao tilted his head and looked: "It's a pair of wings." ”
No wonder I didn't see it at first. ’
'All breath is sealed in the wings. ’
'Ouch, the old emperor is going to vomit to death. Lu Chaochao covered his mouth and snickered.
Xu Shiyun's eyelids were frivolous, expecting Lu Chaochao to reveal a few more words in his heart, and he changed the topic in his mind.
'Hey, I want to have a big elbow with a greasy mouth......
Xu sighed faintly.
Nine out of ten sentences in her heart are pondering and eating.
"Put on your clothes, as it is cold today, lest the wind chill." Xu looked like a pair of wings, but he didn't dare to take a closer look, the old lady was old and couldn't stand the toss.
After cleaning up, the old lady barely slept well.
For countless nights, she woke up in the fire of that year.
This time, she returned to her childhood. Although she lived a poor life and grew up eating hundreds of family meals, she was very happy.
This sleep has almost faded away all the knots in the past.
Even the depression in the eyebrows gradually dissipated.
"There are a lot of pheasants and hares at the door, come and see......" Xie Yuzhou exclaimed at the door, grabbed the chubby rabbit and looked at it, as if he had been bitten off by something.
Rong Che picked it up and looked at it, and said in a condensed voice: "It was the beast that bit off its neck." Yes, it's a wolf. ”
Mrs. Ning couldn't help laughing: "Wash and chop, and add a dish to everyone." Yes, it was given to me. ”
Just like when I was a kid.
The crowd cheered and slaughtered.
Half an hour later, there was a bang.
The pot was already stewed with pheasant soup and mushrooms picked in the mountains.
The rabbit is set on the fire, brushed with honey, sprinkled with various colors, making a sizzling sound, and the air is full of enticing aromas.
