After sending the brothers away, Liu Yu stood in front of the door and looked at the moon for a while, until a dark cloud covered the full moon, and then he sadly returned to the house.
The home that he originally loved the most is now the one he least wants to face.
He couldn't face his mother's worried eyes.
He couldn't face the expectant eyes of his brothers.
He couldn't even face the sadness of separation that surged in his heart.
"Jinnu, come here and talk to mother." Seeing Liu Yu entering the door, Xiao Wenshou stood up hurriedly. Under the dim candlelight, Liu Yu saw her gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Thinking of He Mai's ridiculous singing voice just now, Liu Yu had an idea.
Immediately, he opened his mouth and showed a confident smile.
He walked to his mother and said, "Mother, my brother He Mai always behaves ridiculously. He just sings casually. Mother, please don't take it to heart."
Xiao Wenshou came to the bedside and packed a few clothes that she had made overnight. She was speechless for a while. She turned her back to Liu Yu and it took a long time before she spoke.
"Slave, my mother has known before that you are a thoughtful child. As long as you make up your mind, you will definitely do it well."
"Over the years, many people have advised you to join the army, but you didn't go and mother didn't interfere. It's just because mother knew that it wasn't that you didn't want to join the army, but that you hadn't made up your mind yet."
"Now that you are finally willing to serve in the army, there are some things that my mother must tell you."
Liu Yu looked at his mother in surprise. Xiao Wenshou packed his luggage for him, then came to the table and sat upright.
Her firm gaze reminded Liu Yu that what her mother wanted to instruct was definitely not just about paying attention to safety on the battlefield.
"Mother, please speak, my child is listening."
The two younger brothers stood at the door of the room. Seeing the strange expressions on their elder brother and mother's faces and the solemn atmosphere, they curiously poked their heads in to eavesdrop. Xiao Wenshou noticed them and drove them back with a few glances.
Obviously, this is also something that children cannot hear.
Xiao Wenshou sighed deeply and stared at Liu Yu: "Jinnu, do you know that I am not your biological mother."
It took almost all her strength to say this sentence. This was a secret she had hidden for more than ten years. For many years, she had kept this matter deep in her heart, heavy.
Fortunately, the child Ji Nu was extremely filial, which gradually made Xiao Wenshou let go of the matter. If he hadn't left home soon, maybe she would never have spoken out in her lifetime.
To Xiao Wenshou's expectation, Liu Yu's expression did not change much and could be described as calm.
"Auntie, I've known it for a long time!"
"However, I only recognize my mother."
Xiao Wenshou was puzzled. All the complicated emotions he had prepared for a long time suddenly became useless.
"How did you know?"
"Are the people in the village gossiping?"
Seeing her nervous expression, Liu Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, Mom, no one is talking about this at all. I can see it myself. My brothers and I look different, and we are much older than them."
.”
"However, these are not important. The child has a hard life. He has been without a father and a mother since he was a child. Only my mother has been spinning and weaving by herself. She has worked hard to raise several of our brothers. I can rest assured that when my child becomes prosperous in the future, I will definitely let my mother and brother
Let’s live a good life!”
"You actually knew it a long time ago!"
"For my mother... for my mother, I am really..." Xiao Wenshou became excited and his tears couldn't stop falling. Liu Yu panicked and quickly advised: "Mom, don't worry, my child has always regarded her as her biological mother.
Grandma is my only elder, so I must do well!"
Xiao Wenshou took Liu Yu's hand, his tears stopped, but he smiled again.
"Aniang is not in a hurry, she is happy. The slave is really an upright man. In these years, Aniang has not told you about this, and she treats you as her own."
"Ji Nu, don't worry, you will definitely achieve great feats on the battlefield this time. I will tell you a secret."
Liu Yu's expression turned serious. Is there any secret?
Our old Liu family is very poor, so why do so many secrets suddenly appear? Are there hidden gold and silver treasures in front of and behind the house?
"Auntie, I'm telling you," Xiao Wenshou leaned close to Liu Yu's ear and suddenly lowered his voice, his mysterious look really inconsistent with her usual style.
"When you were born, there was a purple light room, and a very strong light flashed in the room for a long time before disappearing!"
"Although I have never seen this matter, your father told me personally when he was still alive. He said that this is a good omen and should not be said casually."
"Ji Nu, your good days are still to come. You have many high positions and ministers. You may be destined to be an emperor!"
The emperor's fate?
Strange power and chaos!
Although Liu Yu didn't believe a word of this, this sentence still penetrated deeply into his heart...
Suddenly, when Xiao Wenshou looked at his son's expression, he was eager to try, full of smiles, and could no longer find any trace of sadness.
"Go, slave!"
"Achieve great things!"
Wang Mi, who was far away in the inn, suddenly sneezed in his sweet dream: The emperor's life?
