Qiao Xianyong's hands were held tightly by the middle-aged lady, and he couldn't pull them out for a moment. He looked down at the middle-aged lady's face in great embarrassment, and saw that her oval face was very round, like two almonds.
Her eyes looked at him without blinking, her eyelashes stained with tears.
Qiao Xianyong pulled out his hand with force, took a step back, and said, "Qiao Xianyong, thank you Madam and Miss for rescuing me."
The middle-aged lady seemed to realize her gaffe, took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at Qiao Xianyong over and over again, as if she couldn't see enough. After a long while, she said, "Yong'er,
Don’t you recognize me? I’m your mother!”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged lady seemed to be unable to control herself anymore. She tilted her body and was about to faint backwards. Qier hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and then helped her sit down slowly on the Taishi chair.
Huanxiang stood aside and started sobbing softly.
When Qiao Xianyong heard the middle-aged lady's words, he was shocked, as if thunder struck from the sky, and his head was buzzing.
Mother? What on earth is this middle-aged lady talking about? Wasn’t my mother burned to death in the next village more than ten years ago? The charred corpses were burned beyond recognition, making Qiao Xianyong still scared. Could this be him?
His biological mother? Then who is this girl? If she is her mother, why does she live in such a place? Why hasn't she come to meet him after so many years?
Qiao Xianyong thought about the chicken noodles and various snacks he had eaten in the morning. The most important thing was the two braised eggs hidden under the chicken noodles. Indeed, only my mother could make them in this world.
Qiao Xianyong was speechless and still looked at the middle-aged lady with suspicion.
The maid Qier stood behind the lady and gently massaged her temples, and then patted her shoulders. After the lady calmed down, she seemed to finally be able to speak. She let out a long sigh, with tears still in the corners of her eyes.
Lian Luo fell down and said while sobbing, "Yong'er, I don't blame you for not recognizing me. After so many years, my mother didn't expect that you are still alive and have grown so tall. I really don't dare to recognize you anymore."
Qiao Xianyong didn't know what to say and still stood like an iron tower.
Huanxiang walked over silently, pulled Qiao Xianyong's sleeve, and pointed to the side, "Brother Qiao, please take a seat first." Then she turned to the lady and said, "Mom, don't be anxious, tell Brother Qiao slowly.
.Brother Qiao must also have many questions in his mind."
Qiao Xianyong did not refuse, and sat down in a daze. Huanxiang sat silently on the chair to his right, picked up the jade pot on the small table, poured a cup of tea for Qiao Xianyong, and handed it to Qiao Xianyong with both hands. Qiao Xianyong took it.
I came over and drank it all. My racing heart seemed to have calmed down a little. I finally plucked up the courage to say, "Madam, my name is indeed Qiao Xianyong. But my parents died when I was young. I think Madam may have recognized the wrong person."
?”
The noble lady stared at Qiao Xianyong with her eyes fixed, and sighed, "Yong'er, you are wrong. Huanxiang is right. After so many years, so many changes have happened, you can't believe that it is really normal.
Listen to my mother tell you in detail.
More than ten years ago, your father, Boss Qiao, took over the big business of the man in gray and began to concentrate on sword refining. It happened that the Zhang family from the same village were going to the nearby Qi Village, which is the village where your grandmother lived, to work on something. My mother was pregnant at the time.
Du Zi, I just want to go with you to see your grandma, because I don’t know when I’ll have to wait until the next time I see her. But you insist not to go with your mother, and insist on staying at home to watch your father fight."
Qiao Xianyong's memory of this period was extremely clear. This was basically the last memory Qiaojia Village left for him. Hearing this, he began to shake deep in his heart. This little Qiaojia Village, the little blacksmith's family affairs, if it weren't for
Who among the parties involved can tell?
The lady took a sip of tea and continued, "After I arrived at your grandma's house, I saw that your grandma was in very poor health, so I thought about staying for a few more days. Who would have thought that a few days later, a fire suddenly broke out at the entrance of the village during the day, and the black
The burning Lao Gao. I hurriedly went out to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, I saw several children running in panic from the direction of the village entrance from a distance. The children looked extremely panicked and were crying and shouting.
What do you mean, evil spirits are coming, killing people, setting fires and so on.
As I watched, the fire from the direction of the village entrance was getting bigger and bigger, and black smoke seemed to fill half of the sky above the village. Your grandma lived in the deepest mountain valley of the village. She couldn't help it at this time, dragging her sick body to move.
Get out of bed. When she saw these scenes, she didn't panic. She took your mother's hand and said, "Son, this bandit has been coming for decades. It seems that he has come again. You still have Joe in your belly."
Blood and blood of my family, run away quickly. You are lucky if you can run away, but your life is in danger if you can't run away.
Your mother, a woman who has lived in the village for a long time, has seen so many things in the world that she was frightened and panicked at that time.
Unexpectedly, your grandma took your mother extremely calmly and walked around to the back of the pig pen, which was covered with large bamboo forests just like here. Your grandma held your mother's hand and skillfully pushed aside more than a dozen obstacles.
There is a path exposed among the moso bamboos in front of me! This path leads all the way into the mountains.
Your grandma kept urging your mother to leave at that time, and said that this was the escape route she and your grandpa had prepared to avoid the war. Unexpectedly, your grandpa died of illness. Your mother took your grandma to run away with you, but your grandma said that she was young.
Being weak and sick will only hinder your mother. After talking for a while, she heard the crying and shouting in the village becoming more and more chaotic. Your grandmother turned around and returned to the house resolutely.
My mother was frightened and frightened at that time, so she had no choice but to run away along the road in a panic.
I don’t know how many days and nights I walked. When I was tired, I leaned against a tree to rest. When I was thirsty, I drank from the spring water in the mountain. When I was hungry, I could only pick up some wild fruits to eat, but my mother survived like this."
The middle-aged lady spoke this long article in one breath. She seemed extremely tired. She leaned on the chair and looked at Qiao Xianyong sadly. Qier lowered her head behind her, biting her lips, and seemed to be overwhelmed by this tragic passage.
The story touches the heartstrings.
When Qiao Xianyong first listened, he was still skeptical, but the more he listened, the more he felt that what the middle-aged lady said seemed to be vivid in his mind, as if it was the tragic scene he witnessed when he was young in Qiaojia Village that day. Starting from the entrance of the village,
The first family suffered a disaster, it was set on fire, and the father was stabbed to death for no reason. It was exactly the same as the scene in the village just described by the lady.
What's more, he had been to his grandmother's house several times when he was young. He remembered that it took a long time to walk from the entrance of the village. Moreover, his grandmother's house had always raised a big black pig, and his grandmother also asked him to bring well water to the black pig.
