After a while, Guan Yuqing stood up, tears still on her cheeks, and muttered: "Brother Murong, grandpa is gone, what should we do?"

Murong Xue looked into the distance and said compassionately: "Miss Yuqing, you and Sister Ling should go home with me first, and then slowly figure out a way." When Guan Yuqing heard this, she turned her sadness into joy, thanked her with tears, and turned around to help her up like frost.

"It's thirty miles from my house, and my horse is gone, so I have to grieve you two on foot. ”

Guan Yuqing said uneasily: "Brother Murong, you saved the two of us, and now I have to trouble you, the little woman is really upset." ”

Murong Xue waved her hand and laughed, "Girl, don't worry, there are only me and my mother in my family, you two can live in peace of mind, and then slowly look for your family." ”

Guan Yuqing looked at him gratefully and nodded slightly.

The trio walked through a green valley surrounded by mountains, slowly disappearing into the edge of the forest.

Thirty miles away from the southern foot of the Kawagebo Snow Mountain, large and small yurts are embedded in the green sea-like hills, with red covers on a white background, like fresh mushrooms that grow after rain, and a small river flows south around the hills, looking at it, it is beautiful.

Abi was lying in a yurt at the moment, her face sallow and her body heavy.

Murong Xue didn't return all night, Abi was flustered, she didn't sleep all night, and scenes of the past lingered in front of her, as if she saw the young man known as Nan Murong again, Yushu was in the wind, and his spirit was flying.

"Childe, Xue'er has grown up, and I can finally go to you with peace of mind. ”

"Mother!"

An urgent call interrupted Abi's thoughts, and Murong Xue hurriedly opened the curtain and ran in. Abi hurriedly struggled to sit up, "Son, where have you been?"

Murong Xue hurriedly ran over, lay down in front of the bed, and asked with concern, "Mother, have you eaten?" The child forgot the time to collect medicine, and got lost in the dark. “

Abi looked at her son distressedly, "Son, my mother has tired you." When I looked up, I saw two strange girls standing behind Murong Xue, one was about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a blue dress like a light veil, with skin like snow and hair like dark clouds, like a goddess.

The other was dressed in white, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a round face and picturesque eyebrows.

Abi wondered: "Son, whose family are these two girls?"

"Mother, this is the child's friend in the mountains, they and their family got lost, so the child brought them back. Ah Bi nodded and hurriedly greeted: "Girl, hurry, sit down." ”

Guan Yuqing approached and squatted in front of the bed, and smiled, "Madam, Brother Murong said that you are not feeling well, are you better?" Abi was very happy when she heard this, "Whose girl are you, so sensible?"

Guan Yuqing took Ah Bi's hand, "Madam, my name is Guan Yuqing, this is my cousin He Rushuang." Ah Bi became more and more happy when she heard this, "Your name is so beautiful, it reminds me of the beautiful Jiangnan." ”

When Guan Yuqing heard this, she said with a smile: "I heard my grandfather talk about Jiangnan, and he moved here from Jiangnan. When Abi heard this, she suddenly felt cordial, and took Guan Yuqing's hand and chatted.

Murong Xue quietly walked outside the room, secretly sad in her heart: "Mother hasn't been so happy for a long time...... I heard that the ancients cut their livers to provide for their mothers to treat their own diseases, although I can't cut my liver, I can also follow the example of the ancients, and my mother's condition may be improved. ”

Seeing that it was getting late, he quietly returned to the room and walked to his mother's side, "Mother, it's getting dark, I'll go prepare dinner." ”

When Guan Yuqing heard this, she hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Brother Murong, I'll help you, didn't you say that my cooking is delicious?"

Murong Xue laughed, waved her hand and said, "You can talk to my mother here!"

Not long after, Murong Xue served a large plate of food, including air-dried meat, Tibetan blood sausage, cheese buns, lamb meat, and a pot of barley wine.

Guan Yuqing was surprised, "Brother Murong, you did it, you are too powerful!"

Abi was relieved and distressed, and sighed: "All these years, Xue'er has taken care of me. If you two don't dislike it, stay longer. My son is a year or two older, and you can be brother and sister in the future. ”

When they heard this, they were very happy.

Ah Bi sighed and said suddenly: "I am as big as you, I am in Gusu Yanziwu, the sunrise river flowers are red, the river is as green as blue in spring, and I can no longer see the scenery of my hometown." With that, two lines of tears rolled out of his eyes.

Murong Xue hurriedly put down her chopsticks, gently supported Abi's shoulder, and said in a panic: "Mother, why do you say such a thing again, when you are well, the child will take you back to Jiangnan." Abyton was relieved and nodded tearfully.

After dinner, Murong Xue settled Guan Yuqing and the others, waited for her mother to rest, saw that it was dark, quietly took the medicine jar, and came to the bottom of the hill.

knelt down on his knees by the river, unbuttoned his clothes, exposed his left arm, bowed to the sky piously, and said respectfully: "Disciple Murong Xue, because my mother's body is heavy, there is no other good way to heal, please ask the gods to bless me and give my mother a cure!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shed tears.

He took out the dagger and poked it hard in his arm, which was already two inches deep, then turned the dagger around, cut off a piece of meat, and quickly put the piece of meat into the medicine jar, then tied his arm with a white cloth, kowtowed a few more times, wiped the tears on his face, and then got dressed, returned to the room with the medicine jar, and boiled the medicine there.

Guan Yuqing watched all this from a distance, couldn't help but shed tears in her clothes, and stood for a long time.

After a while, Murong Xue brought the boiled medicine into the room, called her mother a few times, but did not respond, and approached the bed, Abi was pale and had passed away with a smile.

Murong Xue was shocked and stayed there, her liver and gall were broken. After a long time, he shouted "Mother!" and fell to his knees crying, and the medicine jar fell to the ground with a crisp sound, piercing the silent night sky.

Guan Yuqing He Rushuang heard the sound, hurriedly ran over, and saw Murong Xue crying loudly, knowing that his mother had died, thinking that the conversation and laughter just now were still in her ears, she couldn't help crying.

Murong Xue wiped her tears, raised her head, stared at her mother for a long time, and tears came out of her eyes again. Guan Yuqing walked behind him gently, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

"You two go back and rest, I'll accompany my mother alone." ”

Murong Xue lay beside her mother and wept until dawn.

Early the next morning, when the wind was cold, Murong Xue walked four or five miles with the body of her mother on her back, buried her mother and father together, and cried again, and the sound of grief was endless.

Back in the yurt, Murong Xue found a letter under her mother's pillow.

It reads: "Wu'er, my mother's time is running out, although you have grown up, my mother still can't rest assured, my mother is reluctant to let you, my mother has brought you too much drag and made you suffer so much." Mother wants you to live strongly, you have the blood of the Dayan royal family flowing in your body, and it is up to you to complete what your father has not done, and it is your fate to restore the country, you can't forget it. Your aunt is the princess of Dali, her name is Wang Yuyan, if you have any difficulties, you can go to her and take the heirloom jade seal as a token. Be kind to yourself and the people around you. Mother's pen!"

After Murong Xue finished reading it, tears rolled down.
