"Of course I have to dress up before going!" Niu Shuangshuang said lazily.
"Dress up? Don't you want to see your mother with your true face?" Niu Xixi was stunned.
"You... just want to take a peek at her secretly?" Jiang Zhonglou frowned.
"Of course not, I want to pretend to be impoverished and go see her..."
Niu Shuangshuang said expressionlessly: "If she still loves me, I will recognize her as my mother. If she treats me as a burden... Humph! I will not recognize her!"
"this..."
Jiang Zhonglou and Niu Qianqian were both stunned.
"Then how are you going to disguise yourself? Under what identity?" Niu Xixi asked.
"I have already thought about it. The three of us pretended to be the princess and the young master in the nightclub, and said that I was infected with the disease. All the money was spent on the treatment. I was desperate, so I went to seek refuge with her. Let's see what she said!
"
Niu Shuangshuang said: "If she takes me in, I will give her a large sum of money so that she will have enough food and clothing for the next life...
If she doesn't take me in... she will have nothing to do with me!"
"All right."
Jiang Zhonglou and Niu Qianqian nodded.
Niu Shuangshuang's resentment towards her mother has never been eliminated. This is the biggest obsession in her heart...
If her mother really refused to take in the desperate Niu Shuangshuang, she was indeed not worthy of being a mother.
The three checked out of the hotel, found a car rental company, rented an RV, and drove on the road toward Niu Shuangshuang's home.
Niu Shuangshuang's home is in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou in southwest China, still a thousand kilometers away from Yunxiao.
Niu Qianqian originally planned to fly to Yunnan and Guizhou and then rent a car, but Niu Shuangshuang said that it was rare for everyone to come out and rent a car to relax and travel around.
Jiang Zhonglou and Niu Qianqian knew that Niu Shuangshuang still didn't want to see her mother, so they rented a car to delay the trip. They had no choice but to agree to Niu Shuangshuang's idea and accompany her to relax.
The three people drove the RV and headed west.
The scenery along the way was really good, and the three of them had fun while walking.
After walking for more than ten days, the three of them arrived at Niu Shuangshuang's hometown, a small county town in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou.
This small county is called Yishan County, and it is located in the mountains called "Yishan".
The three of them found shabby clothes to change into, parked the RV in the county town, and took a shuttle bus to the depths of the mountains.
After getting off the car, the three of them walked on the mountain road for a long time before arriving at a small mountain village called "Dianbian".
This is the village where Niu Shuangshuang's mother remarried.
Walking into the muddy road of the village, you can see that there are only a few dozen families living in thatched houses.
The village was almost full of empty-nesters and left-behind children. When they saw Jiang Zhonglou and the others entering the village, they all sat blankly in front of the thatched hut and stared at them blankly...
Niu Shuangshuang led Jiang Zhonglou and Niu Qianqian through the village and came to a house in the deepest part.
I saw that the three or four thatched houses of this family were already in dilapidated condition...
The door was covered with spider webs, and the weeds in the yard were half as tall as a man.
Apparently, no one has lived here for a long time...
"Has your mother...already..." Niu Xixi frowned and whispered.
"this..."
Niu Shuangshuang was suddenly startled, pushed aside the spider web on the door, walked into the yard, and opened the door of the thatched house in the middle...
The door of the thatched house collapsed directly.
Jiang Zhonglou and Niu Qianqian followed in and saw that the thatched house was in a mess, and the ashes on the ground were full of rat and rabbit footprints...
The smoke outlet on the thatched roof was also broken into a big hole.
"It seems that your mother has long..."
"Impossible! Don't be so clumsy!"
Niu Shuangshuang rudely interrupted Niu Xixi's words and walked out of the thatched house.
I saw several children and old people surrounding the courtyard gate, staring blankly.
"Where is this family?"
Niu Shuang walked out of the courtyard and looked fiercely at the old man and child outside the door.
"Dead..." an old man sighed.
"Dead? Are they all dead?" Niu Shuangshuang asked coldly.
"have no idea..."
Seeing Niu Shuangshuang's bad attitude, the old man didn't bother to answer her, turned around and left...
"Stop!"
Niu Shuang went up, grabbed the old man by the collar and shouted: "Tell me, how did this family die?"
"What... do you want to do?"
The old man was trembling with fear.
Other elderly people and children also took a step back in fear.
"Xiao Shuang, what are you doing?"
Niu Xixi came up, pulled Niu Shuangshuang away, and said to the old man: "Old man, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. We just want to inquire about the whereabouts of this family. Please tell us."
"This family...sigh!" The old man shook his head and said nothing.
"Isn't this Luo Laizi's home? Where is his wife Kuxing?" Niu Shuangshuang asked, staring at the old man with burning eyes.
"What? You actually know Luo Lezi and Ku Xing? Who...are you to them?" the old man asked in surprise.
"I am Buxing's niece. I came here when I was a child. I haven't contacted her for many years, so I came over to see her." Niu Shuangshuang said casually.
"Alas... Luo Lezi died more than ten years ago!"
The old man sighed: "Back then, Luo Lezi was idle and managed to get the widow Ku Xing to be his wife, but he did something to the girl Ku Xing brought...
That girl was so fierce that she stabbed Luo Laizi to death with scissors and ran away...
Kuxing lived with her son Luo Lezi, but she didn't expect that two or three years later, her son would also get sick and die...
People in the village said that Kuxing was an unlucky woman and drove her back to her original village...
It is said that their original village did not want her, so she returned to her natal village, and no one knows what happened after that."
"Oh..." Niu Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his mother was still alive.
"Since Buxing is not here, let's go."
Niu Xixi took Niu Shuangshuang and Jiang Zhonglou out of the village.
Although Niu Shuangshuang said she didn't want to see her mother, she was so worried that she was going crazy because her mother died just now...
It can be seen that deep down in her heart, she still loves her mother deeply...
The three of them returned to the county seat, chartered a taxi, and came to the village where Niu Shuangshuang's mother, Guxing, lived.
This village is even more remote than Dianbian Village, with only about a dozen families left in the village.
And the Buxing family has long been empty...
Niu Shuangshuang asked another old man to ask, and the man said that after Kuxing was kicked out of Dianbian Village, he did live in his natal brother's house for a few years...
But later, after her brother died, people in the village said that Bitter Apricot was a broom star who would kill people wherever he went, so they also drove her away.
"Then do you know where she went?"
Niu Shuangshuang asked the old man anxiously.
"Someone has seen Ku Xing in the county. She seems to have married again and opened a restaurant with her husband." The old man replied.
"Then do you know the name of her restaurant?" Niu Shuangshuang asked again.
"I don't know...but there are only a few streets in Yishan County. If you look for it, you will definitely find it!" the old man said.
"Okay, thank you!"
The three of them took a car back to Yishan County. On the way, Niu Shuangshuang told the driver about her mother's physical characteristics and asked him about it.
"I know the bitter apricot you are talking about!"
The driver said: "She has been married three times, and now she runs a restaurant next to the station with her husband's family. Their restaurant is open all night, and this bitter apricot is watching in the middle of the night. We taxi drivers work the night shift and often go to their house for supper."
