Chapter 81: Gu Yue 35
It has been six years since Baili Cangze died, and Xiyin and Asu took in some orphans in the army to raise them in the General's Mansion, which is becoming more and more lively day by day.
At noon that day, several children secretly entered the courtyard where Shein was resting and played, and several people unconsciously played loudly, waking Shein up.
To stop Asu, who wanted to step forward and take away the child, Shein put on her cloak and walked to the fence on the second floor, looking at the children chasing and fighting below.
Watching them jump up and down, she also felt a vitality that she had never had.
"Ma'am, ma'am, what is this?"
A girl asked, holding a wooden sign about the size of her palm.
Shein took a look at the girl's hand, thinking that it might be something in the army, shaking her head and laughing
"I don't know, if you don't have time, you go and ask Uncle Hu. ”
The girl nodded obediently and turned around, but fell to the ground because she ran too fast.
Shein hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and after patting the girl's clothes clean, the other party found that her hands were empty.
Shein soothed the girl who was holding her mouth and wanted to cry, looked around the ground, and finally found the wooden sign in the corner, so she picked it up and gave it to her.
The moment he touched the wooden sign, Xiyin's face was stunned.
She picked it up and looked at it for a while, and finally closed her eyes, touched the lines of the wooden sign with both hands, and even put it under her nose and sniffed it.
Almost incredulous, Shein looked at the little girl, looking at her clear and innocent eyes, trying to calm her tone, but still trembling and asking where the other party had picked it up.
Shein walked over to the spot the girl had just pointed out.
This is the end of the promenade with a wooden observation deck.
Baili Zelong would often set up a drink here, and Shein would sit obediently and listen to the other party's description of the magnificent starry sky.
How can there be such a beautiful starry sky, Shein looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly.
After being able to see it, I realized that the items described in Baili Zelong's mouth were all beautified, but in fact, most of them were very boring and monotonous.
But at the beginning, what he depicted was always so dexterous and fresh that it made people curious.
There were gaps between the wooden floors, one of which had been loosened, and Shein crouched down and inserted the wooden sign in his hand sideways, finding that it fit just right.
Shein stood up, turned her head slowly, and saw that it was facing the section of the corridor by the door.
'There's a crossbow!'
Fragments suddenly flashed through my mind, although it was just a sound, but those scenes seemed to really happen in front of me, the people fighting, the blood spilled, the warm fingers, and the heart-rending sound of 'General!'.
It was obviously the scorching heat of Sanjiu, but Xiyin felt that her body was extremely cold, and the wooden card in her hand gradually tightened, and the grain wood on the wooden card was almost embedded in her hand.
Asu, who found that something was wrong, hurried over and helped Xiyin to ask worriedly.
"Asu, the person who assassinated that night was a member of the Guyue tribe. ”
Xiyin said this hoarsely, looking sad.
With tears on her face, as if she had grown old for a moment, she lost her strength and knelt on the platform, and the words that Ah Hu said at that time rang in her ears
'Madame, you have to believe the general. ’
Shein clenched her hands into fists and pounded her heart, biting her lip to suppress her crying, but the tears still soaked her clothes, and the memories in her brain suddenly became vivid.
She remembered that after the assassination, General Baili gave her a dagger smelted of fine iron, saying that it was for her to protect herself, but in the end it became her weapon for hurting others by self-harm.
She remembered that after the assassination, Asu began to stay by her side, thinking that General Baili had already taken precautions, the truth was too cruel, he didn't want to tell her and could only protect her silently.
She remembered that after Gu Yue came to envoy, Ayi had frequently talked about her family, saying that she was willing to give everything for the safety of her family, but she didn't understand anything at that time, and she didn't notice the decisiveness of the other party's tone, just smiled and nodded in agreement.
I see, Shein regrets why she only understands now, why she only found out everything now.
The breeze blew, and Xiyin looked up at the courtyard, but her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't see anything.
She still remembered very clearly, on that warm morning, it was also a breeze, she smelled the fragrance of the moon flowers, and knew that the man had tied the flowers in her hair, but he didn't tell her, just whispered to her
Ayin, heaven and earth together, the flood is proof, you are my wife.
