Chapter Ninety-Six: The Mother of Splendor
Let's say that Yan Huan and the three of them walked towards other places around Baoyue City, Jiang Yinian followed Yan Huan and Huangfu Jinxiu to play around, and gradually became cheerful, temporarily putting the pain of extermination in his heart, but Yan Huan knew that this was only temporary, because he had the same experience.
The longer and deeper that sadness is hidden in the bottom of my heart, the more indelible it becomes. Once the future bursts out, it will be an emotion that destroys reason. At that point, it will be possible to do anything. Screaming, roaring, and even falling into the devil's path. Yan Huan gradually became a little worried about the woman in front of him who was smiling very happily, he was afraid that one day this woman would suddenly become violent, at that time, what should he do?
Yan Huan walked behind them, looked at the two women talking and laughing, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and secretly thought in his heart: "Whatever, everything has a cause and an effect." The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and at that time, there will naturally be a way to resolve it. Just like your own cause and effect, you don't have to be so persistent, one day you will be broken. ”
The three of them had been playing around Baoyue City for dozens of days, and the three of them were tired of playing, so the three of them decided to leave Baoyue City and go to other places to see. This Hanhai Desert is extremely huge, in addition to the invincible city of Baoyue City, there are many smaller cities, and the scenery there is not spectacular.
Jiang Yinian said at this time: "I know a very beautiful city, where the scenery at sunset is the most beautiful. The city also got a name because of the sunset, called the City of Beauty. ”
Yan Huan and Huangfu Jinxiu were so curious that they asked, "Why is it called Beauty City?"
Jiang Yinian smiled slightly, and said: "It's because, at sunset, if you stand on the city gate, you can see a woman's face appearing on the sand dunes in the distance, and I don't know if it's true or not. Some people say that it is the face of the guardian fairy of the desert, and every time the sun sets, the guardian fairy of the desert will come out to see what is happening in the desert for a day. Everyone knew it was nonsense, but they believed it, because they couldn't find a better explanation. ”
When Yan Huan and Huangfu Jinxiu heard this, they immediately became interested, and said at the same time: "Okay!
Let's say that the group of three people marched in the direction of Beauty City, walked for more than ten days, and finally arrived at the Beauty City. At that moment, Yan Huan and the three of them found an inn in the beauty city and stayed there, and the three of them each asked for a room, and because they were too tired that night, they rested early.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the three of them took a good stroll in the beauty city and found that the beauty city was very prosperous and orderly. In the evening of the same day, the three of them came to the tower of the beautiful city early, and at this time, many people had gathered on the tower of the beautiful city. Naturally, these people are just like Yan Huan and them, they all come here to see the face of this beauty.
When the sunset gradually faded to its last glory, a face finally appeared in front of the beautiful city, and the face was very clear, as if it were real, and I don't know how it was formed.
When Yan Huan saw that face, he immediately smiled slightly and said, "If it's really a beauty, you say yes." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Huangfu Jinxiu.
At this time, Yan Huan found that Huangfu Jinxiu was stunned, looking at that face with his eyes, Yan Huan couldn't help frowning, and thought, "Could it be that Jinxiu has taken a fancy to this woman?"
But Yan Huan's brain suddenly seemed to have been hit by something, he quickly turned his head, looked at that face again, and took a closer look, that face was actually a little similar to Huangfu Jinxiu!
At this time, Jiang Yinian slowly moved to Yan Huan's side, nodded Yan Huan, and said in a low voice: "This face, how can it be a little similar to the Huangfu girl! I didn't take a closer look at it the first few times, but now I look closely, and when I compare it with the Huangfu girl, it is indeed a little similar." "So she saw it too!
Yan Huan looked at Jiang Yinian, and then said in a low voice: "I don't know what's going on?" ”
Yan Huan nodded at Huangfu Jinxiu and shouted, "Jinxiu." ”
Huangfu Jinxiu came to his senses at this time, laughed dryly, and said: "I was out of my mind for a while, Yan Huan, do you have anything to do?"
Yan Huan frowned and asked, "Jinxiu, this woman, do you know?"
Huangfu Jinxiu hesitated for a moment, then smiled indifferently, nodded, and said, "Yes." She's my mother. ”
Yan Huan's face changed, and he shouted, "Your mother?"
Huangfu Jinxiu hurriedly covered Yan Huan's mouth and glanced at him. Yan Huan looked around and found that there was no movement around, so he beckoned, and the second daughter followed Yan Huan out of the city tower.
The three of them went back to the inn and talked in the splendid room.
"Jinxiu, are you sure that woman is your mother?" asked Yan Huan.
"Yes, it's my mother. My mother fell ill and died shortly after I was born. Huangfu Jinxiu said in a deep voice.
"Sick and dead?" Yan Huan couldn't help frowning, thought for a moment, and said, "How is it possible? Once this monk has cultivated to the unharmed realm, he will be able to survive all diseases, unless he is seriously injured by someone, he cannot recover, and he will die." Otherwise, how could you easily get sick and die. Besides, your imperial family is so powerful, how could your father watch your mother fall ill and die. Moreover, with the medical cultivation of the predecessors of the Imperial Master, there must be a means to continue her life! All this makes no sense, what kind of disease did your mother have? Can she die like this? ”
Huangfu Jinxiu shook his head and said, "I don't know this, I was just born at that time, and I didn't know anything at all. My father told me that my mother had died of illness!"
Yan Huan sighed lightly and said, "Oh? In other words, you didn't see your mother die with your own eyes?"
When Huangfu Jinxiu heard Yan Huan say this, he couldn't help frowning, stood up and said, "Yan Huan, what do you mean by this? Do you think my father is lying to me? Why did he lie to me? He is the best for me! He can't lie to me!"
Yan Huan stretched out his hand, gently touched Huangfu Jinxiu's head, and said: "Jinxiu, sometimes, it is because you love someone that you choose to lie to her! Your father may have something unspeakable! Anyway, this matter is not as simple as you think, you answer me honestly, haven't you ever doubted it?"
Huangfu Jinxiu knocked Yan Huan's hand down and said, "I have never doubted my father, don't say it again! Get out! I want to be alone!"
Yan Huan was overwhelmed by Huangfu Jinxiu's reaction for a while, standing there and walking, not leaving.
At this time, Jiang Yinian stepped forward, took Huangfu Jinxiu's hand, and said, "Huangfu girl, why do you have to do this? Cheng Shaoxia is also for your good, you are sulking in such a life, you will suffocate yourself." ”
Huangfu Jinxiu is usually not such an unreasonable person, but now that he was persuaded by Jiang Yinian, he calmed down immediately, took a deep breath, and said, "Yan Huan, just now, I'm sorry." ”
Yan Huan hugged her gently and said, "Fool, you never have to say sorry to me." ”
Huangfu Jinxiu smiled faintly, but there was still not much joy on his face.
Yan Huan then smiled and said: "Jinxiu, since you don't want to talk about it, then we won't talk about it, everyone is tired today, I think we will go back and rest, and tomorrow we will leave this beauty city." ”
At this time, Huangfu Jinxiu shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to go." I want to figure out why that face is my mother's, why my mother left me, whether my father is lying, why is he lying? I want to unravel all of this. Yan Huan, you are right, I suspected that my father was lying for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out, why did my father lie to me? Why don't I find a better reason?
Yan Huan gently touched her head and said, "Okay, since you want to figure it out, then let me come with you! ”
Huangfu Jinxiu smiled lightly at Yan Huan and said, "Yan Huan, thank you, what would I do without you?"
Yan Huan pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Then stay by my side forever, I won't let you live without me!"
Huang Fu Jinxu buried his head in Yan Huan's arms, while Jiang Yinian, who was standing on the side, coughed embarrassedly twice. Yan Huan and Huangfu Jinxiu realized that there were still people next to them.
Huangfu Jinxiu hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Yan Huan, have you found anything about this matter?"
Yan Huan shook his head, then chuckled again, and said, "Naturally, I don't know. But I know there's one person who knows for sure!"
Huangfu Jinxiu hurriedly asked, "Who?"
Yan Huan smiled slightly and said, "Huangfu Bing'an!"
"That's right! Sister An has been following my father for so many years, he must know something. Huangfu Jinxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately called Huangfu Bing'an out.
Huangfu Bing'an was still half-veiled, tepid, and said, "What do you want to know?"
Huangfu Jinxiu stepped forward and asked, "Sister An, how much do you know about my mother?"
Huangfu Bing'an's face remained unchanged and said, "I don't know." All I know is that your mother died of illness after you were born. "Then you have to hide.
But Huangfu Jinxiu stopped her, pretended to be pitiful and said: "Sister An, only you love me the most on weekdays, but now I see my mother's face again, I miss my mother, how do you call me?"
Huangfu Bing'an said lightly: "You are wrong. You've only seen your mother when you were a child, how can you remember her so clearly?"
"Impossible!" Huangfu Jinxiu directly interrupted Huangfu Bing'an's words and said: "Although I have only seen my mother a few times, there is a portrait of her in my home, which I stumbled upon in my study! At this point, I have to look at her several times every day! I know her appearance very well, how can I be wrong? Say, you must know something! Otherwise, how could you reject me like this!"
Huangfu Bing'an shook his head and said, "Jinxiu, in short, whether you believe it or not, I really don't know about your mother!"
At this time, Huangfu Jinxiu shouted: "Sister An, do you know? When I was a child, I didn't have my mother to play with me, and my father couldn't always accompany me because he had too many things. And so, then, you appeared! I remember the first time I saw you, when you were dressed like this, with a half-veiled veil and a fluttering white veil, like a fairy who is not stained with dust. At that time, I wanted to call you mother, but my father wouldn't let me do that. Dad said, you are not my mother, my mother is dead. At this time, your personal guard, Huangfu Bing'an. But I still believe a little more, you are my mother. Although, we are not related by blood, although, I can't always see your expression, although, I can only call you Sister An, but in my heart, I will call you like this a little more. Mother!"
Huangfu Jinxiu said at the end, couldn't help choking, and then cried.
Huangfu Bing'an was obviously touched when he heard Huangfu Jinxiu's words, and turned around slowly, his voice was still so emotionless, but his words were a little more emotional. "Jinxiu, I didn't think you would treat me as your mother. I was just a machine spirit, never human. In front of you is your personal guard, and it has never been your sister! I have no family affection with you. But, thank you. Thank you for giving me a sense of what human feelings are like for the first time, and since you want to know that, I'll tell you about it. But, let me say first, I don't know much. Actually, I'm afraid your mother is the only one who knows the truth about this, and your father doesn't know what's going on. ”
Huangfu Jinxiu raised her head, looked at Huangfu Bing'an with tears on her face, and said, "Sister An, say it." I just want to know a little more, if only a little more!"
Huangfu Bing'an nodded and said, "I only know that in the year you were born, on the day you turned 100 years old, the Huangfu family held a feast. But when the feast is over, you find that your mother is gone. At first, your father just thought that your mother was out for a walk, so he sent someone to look for it, but he searched the whole Huangfu City and found nothing. Your father was very anxious, so he searched around the house to see if your mother had left any message, but found nothing. At this point, your father is dead. And he proclaimed to the outworld, Your mother is dead. That's all I know, and I hope it can help you. ”
Then he went away.
