Chapter 32 Old Dreams(1/4)
Qiu Jiang had a very long dream.
In the dream, there was a young man reading. He was so focused that he forgot everything around him and forgot her.
So she felt dissatisfied and put the chess piece into the green dumplings next to her.
The young man picked up the green dumplings while reading a book, and with a click, he broke his front teeth.
He looked up in shock and saw her lying outside the window, and smiled bitterly: "Did I offend my sister?"
"No."
"Then why is this?"
"Does it hurt?"
"certainly."
So she smiled and said, "That way you will remember me."
The boy showed confusion. Yes, he didn't understand anything. He didn't know that she was going to leave home and go to a foreign country to complete the mission of the Ji family's daughter.
The daughters of big families are all useful.
When she grows up, she may use it to marry and maintain interests; or she may serve as a female official to shine on her family. Her mission is more unique. She wants to go to a place called Ruyimen and become the owner there.
Before leaving, his mother Langya called her into the room, looked at her face carefully, and said for a while: "Do you don't want to?"
She said, "Is this what my mother wants?"
"yes."
"Then, it doesn't matter if I want to." She looked at Langya for a long time, "When my mother sent my second brother away, she never asked him if he wanted to."
Langya suddenly changed her face and said in a deep voice: "Do you know?"
She smiled faintly. Although she was only three years old when her second brother was sent away, she was wise and took everything into consideration.
She asked her father where her second brother had been sent. Her father quickly covered her mouth and warned her not to talk nonsense.
Later, the teacher came. The teacher came to teach her and her eldest brother to teach her. One day she taught a poem, which contained two lines: "I used to be mandarin ducks and ducks, but now I am participating in the year." It means: "The brothers who were once inseparable are now thousands of miles apart and one side of the sky." She remembered her second brother who had gone somewhere.
Seeing that she was in a low mood, the teacher asked her what she was thinking.
She had already trusted the teacher very much at that time. Although she was worried, she still told him: "I have a younger brother who I don't know where my mother sent him when I was born. I occasionally dreamed of him. I couldn't even see his face clearly, but I knew he was crying, and begged my mother not to send him away."
For some reason, the teacher looked very complicated after hearing the words. After a long time, he asked her: "Do you want to know where he went?"
"The teacher knows?"
"I can take you there. But you have to make sure that this is the secret between you and me. Even Aying can't tell you."
She agreed.
The next day, the teacher took her and Aying for an outing, and then handed her over to a man in black: "He will take you there, just take a look and come back."
She was a bold girl since she was a child. She was not afraid at all. Not only was she not afraid, but she was very excited, especially the man in black was flying in the air and shuttled across the roof. The sound of the wind made her ears hurt, but she fell in love with the feeling of flying.
She asked the man in black: "Is this martial arts? Teach me quickly!"
The man opened his mouth and showed her his tongue. His tongue was only half and he couldn't speak.
She was shocked and had more words to ask, such as why your tongue was gone? Why did you listen to the teacher? Where are you going to take me? Can I really see my second brother?
The series of questions quickly came to an answer. The man carried her to a very deserted courtyard and lay on the roof. There was a woman washing clothes in the yard, and another boy of three or four years old squatted aside to help.
It was winter, and it was very cold. The woman's hands were soaked in water, and it was red and swollen. The boy took a pot of wine from his arms and handed it to her mouth. The woman took a sip and rubbed the boy's nose with a smile. The boy giggled, smiling and brows curved.
So at that moment, she understood that he was her second brother.
The boy is like a mother, and he and Aying both look like a mother, continuing a good look. Only she looks like a father and has ordinary facial features.
The woman washed her clothes for an hour, and she lay on the roof and watched the cold wind for a whole hour. It was not until the woman washed her hill-like clothes and took the boy's hand back, and the man in black hugged her and left.
She was sent back to the teacher. The teacher asked her how she was, but before she could answer, tears suddenly flowed down her face.
"I don't understand." She said, "Teacher, I don't understand all this."
"One day, you will understand." The teacher looked at her like he looked at the most pitiful person in the world, full of compassion and sighs.
And that so-called "one day" comes a year later.
The mother told her that there was an organization called "Ruyi Sect" in the Ji family. Every sect leader was selected from her daughter, and she was the one selected by this generation.
After listening in a daze, she returned to the room in a daze, woke up from her dream at midnight, rushed out with her naked feet.
She ran to the teacher's room and asked him crying: "Why? I still don't understand! Teacher."
The teacher wiped her tears, then treated her wounds cut from the stones on her feet, and said to her: "I have an answer, but my answer may not be your answer. Because what you see may be different from what I see. My choice is not your choice. What your answer is, you need to find it yourself. What your choice is, you also need to decide."
She was very puzzled. At that time, she really didn't know anything.
She hid a chess piece in Ji Ying's green dumpling and dropped one of his front teeth, hoping that he would remember himself forever. Then she went to Langya's room, which made her mother feel so angry that she had to lie down. Then, she was sent onto a blue and white boat without saying goodbye to anyone.
The boat floats on the sea, and children die in the crowded cabin every day. The boatmen threw the dead children into the sea. She watched from a distance of close proximity, without any smile on Subai's face.
But she was originally a laughing person...
Qiu Jiang thought that this dream was too long, and she was about to dream of a terrible experience. No, she had to grow up quickly and get through that time as soon as possible.
Then, the speed in the dream really became faster, and the colorful flowed rapidly. When she stopped, she was held in her eyes and walked out of the holy realm, and came to Mount Kareys, the base camp of Ruyimen.
Mrs. Ruyi sat on a Ruyi chair carved from a whole piece of jade, wearing green, almost mixed with jade. Her face was white, her hair was very dark, and her facial features were not flawed. She was vaguely similar to herself.
So she confirmed that this person was indeed her relative, and Ji's blood was also flowing in her body.
She smiled and bowed lightly: "I've seen my aunt!"
Mrs. Ruyi looked at her for a long time, and after a while, she said the first sentence: "Call me Madam."
From then on, she understood that her aunt didn't like her very much. At first she thought it was because she had high hopes for her, but later she felt that she might be cold-hearted by nature, and finally she vaguely realized some subtlety.
So she asked Pincongmu: "Why don't my aunt recognize me?"
Pin Congmu replied: "It seems that you can only wait for you to be eighteen years old."
After being eighteen years old, according to the clan rules, Mrs. Ruyi would pass the throne to her. She waited patiently.
Then at the age of fourteen, he received a task to go out - to the Xie family in Nanyan and steal the recipe.
There are many ways to steal things, and Mrs. Ruyi asked her to choose by herself. She returned to her room and studied the file about Xie Yan for a full ten days, and then went to knock on the door of the destination.
She said, "I don't want to kill him. So, is there any way to get me enough?"
Pin Congmu replied: "No, he must die."
"Why?"
"When Xie Bin was a boy, he met a singer in a brothel. He gave birth to a girl and wanted to marry her. The two elders disagreed. One day, he was taken away by a dealer when he went out on the street. The singer was crazy and couldn't stand the blow, and then jumped into the river to die. This was the pain of his life."
She knew that all these were written in the archives.
"After Xie Bin became famous, he sent people to look for his daughter everywhere, and became water and fire with the blue and white porcelain in the south. He intercepted their ships all year round, causing considerable losses to the Ruyi Sect. Therefore, the wife set the mission goal on him. What she really wanted was not enough, but his life."
Her hands clenched into fists and said after a while: "I won't kill anyone."
Pin came over to me and broke her fingers one by one: "It's great that you have such a bottom line. But this is the first task she gave you. You must complete it, and it must be done perfectly. In this way, she has no excuse not to hand over the scepter to you."
"I don't understand, teacher. I agree that the Ruyi Gate you said is a place of evil. I agree that the Ruyi Gate you said should be destroyed. But why can't it be earlier? New sins are born every day, and innocent children die every day. One day earlier, it will be better. Why should we delay? Why do we have to wait for me to take over the Ruyi Gate?"
"Ruyi Gate is a place of evil, but Mrs. Ruyi is not the source of evil. If you kill her, there are still some people who buy some people who kill others and do evil. There are other doors without Ruyi Gate, and there are red and green flowers without blue and white... 30 continents along the coast, countless villagers use this to make money, and countless fishermen use this to survive... Therefore, killing a wife is useless, and destroying a door is useless. The time is not yet ripe."
“When will it be mature?”
"When the rulers of the four countries work hard to govern, and when only the people of the world work together, we will help you..." Pin Congyu raised his hand and gently stroked the top of her head, word by word, meaningful, "Grow up, big enough to withstand all the wind and rain."
"I..." She bit her lip, but she couldn't cry, "I want to go home."
She really wants to go home.
She missed the boy who was reading books and eating green dumplings.
She often remembers the boy who feeds other women wine and treats other women as mothers.
She missed the alleys that could see both sunrise and sunset.
She missed the exquisite tiles and neat long streets of Biguo, as well as the high city walls inlaid with jade bi...
Every lady Ruyi had to pass the throne to the next lady Ruyi before she could go home. During that period, even if they could pass by the country of Bi, they would never be able to set foot in the Ji family.
When she left, she broke her eldest brother's front teeth and did not say goodbye to him.
I don’t know what he has become now, but is he still frowning like an old man and not smiling like an old man...
"When you take over Ruyi Gate and end all this, you will be able to go home." Pin Congmu gently hugged her and said, "Be good."
When she was twelve years old, she pretended to be Xie Liu and went to Nanyan.
When she saw Xie Bin, her first sentence was: "I am not Xie Liu. I don't have a name. I come from Ruyimen. I will get a full recipe from you, and then kill you."
Xie Bin was shocked when he heard this and subconsciously grabbed the sword beside him.
She said again: "If you kill me, your wife will send disciples from other people, one after another, until you die."
"What do you want?"
To be continued...
