Chapter Forty-Eight: When You Are Your Mother

The three of them were not familiar with the mountain road, and by the time they walked out of the forest, it was already completely dark.

Dogs barked in the wind.

Xiao Yicheng saw that there was a small village in front of him, and there were several families living there, so he put down Jiang Wan and went to knock on the door.

The one who opened the door was an old man, who heard that several people were lost in the mountains and forests, and Jiang Xuan's foot was injured again, and he couldn't rush back to the city, so he agreed to let them stay overnight.

There are three bedrooms in the small courtyard, and Xiao Yicheng planned to come out after settling Jiang Juan, but was stopped by his father-in-law.

"Why doesn't Childe sleep in the same room with your lady?"

Although the old man is a farmer, he can see that several people are noble, and he thinks that the young couple took the maid out to play and missed the hour, and there was a small accident on the way back.

Xiao Yicheng was stunned and explained repeatedly: "She is not my mother." ”

When he spoke, he was cold, and his eyes were very gloomy and deep, and in the eyes of his father-in-law, he thought it was Xiao Yicheng's angry words.

The old man immediately pulled Xiao Yicheng aside and persuaded: "It's good for husband and wife to quarrel and coax, why do you have to be cruel and say that she is not your wife, how hurtful it is!" ”

Xiao Yicheng's face was even heavier, "She's really not ......"

"Okay, how can there be an overnight feud between husband and wife?"

The old man interrupted Xiao Yicheng's words again and again, and persuaded him with good words, "You are a man, you have to give way." ”

Xiao Yicheng: "......"

White Frost: "Uncle, they really aren't, you misunderstood." ”

Jiang Juan also hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, it's late at night, you better go back to the house and rest first!" ”

The old man was stunned, he glanced at the two of them back and forth, thinking that the two of them were so angry, so he had to shake his head and sigh lightly, and led Xiao Yicheng to another bedroom.

It's a miscellaneous room, it's pitch black, and there's even a faint musty smell, and you can occasionally touch something soft when you step on it.

Xiao Yicheng was not only not afraid, but had a sense of familiarity, he gradually stopped step by step, and walked slower and slower.

More than ten years have passed, and I didn't expect to think of that dim scene here today.

When the old man saw him so distracted, he thought that he was remorseful but couldn't pull his face, so he patted him on the shoulder and said in a good voice: "Since the son has her in his heart, why do you squirm and refuse to bow your head?" ”

Xiao Yicheng came back to his senses and said with a calm face: "I said, we are not." ”

Seeing his cold tone, the old man had no choice but to shake his head, "In the future, you will understand that as long as you can save your beloved, what face, what kind of man's dignity, or other constraints are floating clouds." ”

"You, you're still too angry!"

Xiao Yicheng held his face, and he only felt ridiculous in his heart.

He only has loyalty and filial piety all over his body, where does he get the heart?

But thinking that Xu became unfamiliar, Xiao Yicheng was a little sad.

The cold wind of this night went straight into Xiao Yicheng's heart, and he lay on the bed board half asleep and half awake, sometimes screaming, sometimes crying.

"Mother......

Jiang Wan couldn't sleep because her feet were so swollen that she heard movement next door, so she bypassed the hoarfrost to take a look.

By the dim candlelight, I saw Xiao Yicheng curled up on the straw mat shivering, sweating profusely.

Jiang Juan had only seen Xiao Yicheng kill people with a cold face, but he didn't know that he would be like this when there was no one in the middle of the night.

She went to probe Xiao Yicheng's forehead, and saw that she didn't have a fever or was sick, so she was relieved and wanted to leave.

But just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Xiao Yicheng suddenly grabbed it and muttered: "Mother....... Don't go ......."

Jiang Juan's face was slightly gloomy, he actually regarded her as his mother.

She remembered that Xiao Yicheng's mother was captured and imprisoned before her death, and he was born in the Beiliang dungeon, and it was not until the day of the fall of Beiliang that he knew what the sun looked like for the first time.

But his mother was buried forever in the dark ruins on the same day.

Because of this, after Xiao Yicheng learned of Jiang Juan's identity in his previous life, he tortured her like crazy, and put all the pain that his biological mother had suffered on Jiang Juan, making her life worse than death.

Jiang Wan's body shook, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes.

Your mother died in the Beiliang dungeon, why didn't my relatives die under the Black Eagle Iron Horse?

She glanced at her and sighed secretly: What a good person, but it's a pity that he has a different position, and he is destined to be an enemy in his past and present lives.

In the next moment, she wanted to leave, but was caught back by Xiao Yicheng.

"Don't go, I miss you so much, please don't go......"

Jiang Wan was pressed by the sudden force, and the pain in her ankle made her unable to move.

Her eyes flashed, so she had to punch Xiao Yicheng and shout: "Xiao Yicheng, wake up!" ”

Xiao Yicheng was instantly woken up by pain, he got up suddenly, and wanted to fight back, but when his fist swung in front of Jiang Xuan, he stopped again.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Juan rubbed his arm and said angrily: "I still want to ask you, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night, crying?" ”

Xiao Yicheng was stunned, "I'm crying? ”

Jiang Juan didn't pay attention to it, but pointed to the corner of his eye, and chuckled:

"You're luckier than me, you've at least seen your mother, and I don't even know what my mother looks like, you see I didn't cry, you're a man, what are you crying about?"

Xiao Yicheng hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he was seen as a weakness, and he was uncomfortable.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Juan laughed, "Miss her?" ”

Xiao Yicheng turned his head to look out the window, just like he looked at the skylight on the high wall in the dungeon in those years.

Jiang Wan simply leaned over and sat next to him, and teased: "Speaking of which, I have a lot of fate with her." ”

Xiao Yicheng didn't bother to look back, "You have never met, what fate can you have?" ”

Jiang Juan smiled and asked, "The third aunt should have never seen you like this, right?" ”

Xiao Yicheng paused, he was strong in his life, and the Song family regarded him as his own, how could he show this emotion to them?

But he didn't expect to be seen by Jiang Juan today.

Jiang Juan said again: "You just took my hand and called me my mother, and I am indeed your aunt, you say, does this count as having its own providence in the dark?" ”

"Your mother feels sorry for you and misses you, so she arranged me to be your aunt by your side, isn't this fate?"

Xiao Yicheng was instantly angry and speechless: "Nonsense, it's ridiculous." ”

"Oh, you're smiling!"

The moonlight shone on Xiao Yicheng's face through the window, and it happened to meet his sad smile, Jiang Juan was like a treasure, and said in surprise: "Don't say it, you look good when you smile." ”

Xiao Yicheng's face froze instantaneously when he heard this, "Are you finished?" Get out! ”

Jiang Wan was not annoyed, looked at him and muttered: "You want to call me a fourth aunt, so where did you wronged you by treating me as her?" ”

"How dare you say it!"

Jiang Juan saw that he was about to make a move, so he hurriedly dodged, "What are you doing so fiercely?" I was only a teenager and I was a mother, and I didn't complain, you still have to do it! ”
