Chapter 1134 Farewell Is Forever
Lingzhou.
In the dry climate, there is no human habitation in the sky. In the sky, lone wild geese fly over, bringing a long cry, and then disappear in the dark yellow sunset.
Bai Zhuang looked up at the mottled sky and clearly heard someone calling her...
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You have to wait for me..."
The familiar voice was close at hand, and the familiar figure seemed to be right in front of her. Bai Zhuang stretched out her hand in the direction of the sunset, and saw that her fingertips had been lingering for a long time, but she could not catch anything.
"Nan Zheng...Nan Zheng..."
She was murmuring unconsciously, and her wrinkled eyes were stained with tears. She wanted to stop him, stop the man who never came back, and tell him that he couldn't go to this business, he must not go.
"Auntie, auntie?" Another voice came in, and Bai Zhuang felt as if the world was shaking. She looked at the gradually collapsing vision in front of her and felt a little dazed for a moment.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw the face of a young and pretty woman.
The woman looked at her worriedly, her eyebrows like willow leaves tightly knitted together, and she asked worriedly: "Auntie, why are you crying and having nightmares again?"
Bai Zhuang stood up slowly and looked at the woman in front of her without saying a word. After a while, she asked, "Xia Qiu, is your father back?"
The corners of Ji Cha's eyes were astringent, and the tip of his nose was red. He nodded. He stood up and helped his elderly aunt out of bed. As he did every day, he patiently comforted her: "Dad came back for a while and then went out again. He said he was going hunting and wanted to headhunt you. Tiger, peel off the tiger skin and make a coat.”
A smile appeared on Bai Zhuang's face, and she could still vaguely see the tears on her face, but it seemed that there was no trace of sadness. She said in a show off: "Your father is the best hunter. He is the only one in the clan who can hunt alone." Tiger."
Ji Cha nodded and helped his aunt to the table and asked her to sit down. Then he went in and out to bring the food that had been prepared and spread it out.
"What time is it?" Bai Zhuang asked.
Ji Cha said: "It's already dinner time."
Bai Zhuang looked at the dishes on the table and said worriedly: "But your father hasn't come back yet. Let's wait until he comes back to eat."
Ji Cha continued to serve rice. In situations like this, she had to experience it almost every day: "Dad brought dry food and said he would eat it in the mountains. He won't come back until late at night, so let us eat first."
Bai Zhuang was not very happy, holding her chopsticks and looking at the rice grains in the bowl.
Ji Cha sat next to her and coaxed carefully: "Mom, if you don't eat, dad will be worried."
Bai Zhuang said "hmm" and took two bites carelessly.
Halfway through the meal, she suddenly put down her chopsticks, stared at Ji Cha with puzzled eyes, and asked puzzledly: "Girl, who are you, and why are you at my house?"
Ji Cha looked at her straightly, then stood up from the stool and said calmly: "Hello, madam, I am the new neighbor who moved next door. My elders asked me to come and say hello."
Bai Zhuang understood, stood up, and held Ji Cha's hand: "A girl with many marks, newly moved here? Okay, okay, the people in our place are very good-tempered, you came here in a hurry, have you eaten? By the way, I'm stewing the ribs today, you bring a bowl back." After that, he called into the inner room: "Xia Qiu, go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of ribs."
After finishing speaking, no one in the inner room responded.
There was a hint of helplessness on Bai Zhuang's face: "Let me go take a look at this child."
"No need." Ji Cha hurriedly grabbed her and said with a complicated expression: "Our family has already had dinner, so I won't disturb Madam. Madam, please eat first, and I will go back."
Ji Cha said and kept walking out. Bai Zhuang couldn't keep him, so he had to send him to the door, then came back and sat down, holding chopsticks and eating bite by bite.
Ji Cha didn't go far. He stood by the fence outside the yard and listened quietly to what was going on inside the house.
Sure enough, after a while, she heard shouting from inside: "Xia Qiu, Xia Qiu... Where has this girl gone wild again? She has no rules all day long. Who will dare to marry her in the future?"
When Ji Cha heard this, she tentatively walked in from outside the house. When she reached the door, she heard her aunt shouting: "You are finally back. It's almost dark. Where have you gone?"
Ji Cha breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the house, and said naturally: "I just went out for a walk." Then he looked at the empty dishes on the table, packed them up, and went to the kitchen.
Bai Zhuang followed her and chattered to her: "Did you go to the border camp again? How many times have I told you that it was a place where there was a war and it was all men. Where is the place where you, a girl, should go?" If you keep doing this, when your father comes back, I will tell him to see if he can beat you."
Ji Cha listened honestly, washing the dishes in her hands. She knew that her aunt just needed someone to talk to, and she did not need to respond.
After washing the dishes and wiping the table, Bai Zhuang's nagging is not over yet.
After hearing the end, Ji Cha saw that it was getting late and it was time for the old man to rest, so he said, "Mom, I have a sweetheart."
The affair between his cousin and the general of the Liu family has never been a secret in the clan. Ji Cha naturally knew how impulsively his cousin ran away from home with that man and later gave birth to Liu Wei.
"Ah?" Bai Zhuang hesitated for a moment and looked at her "daughter".
Ji Cha helped the old man to the couch and said, "He is the flanking general of the Kyoto border camp. He came to Lingzhou to order troops. In two days he will go to Liaozhou to lead the campaign. He is very handsome."
Bai Zhuang looked at her "daughter" as if she was not joking, and immediately said with a straight face: "General? Official of the capital?"
Ji Cha thought of the Liu family's identity and nodded: "He is a capital official, but he is just a small side general, so he should not be a senior official."
"No." Bai Zhuang immediately retorted: "From tomorrow onwards, you stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere. Official in the capital, you are quite courageous. Do you know that people in Kyoto are all jackals? You don't want your life." !”
Then there was another nagging, and Ji Cha listened quietly. In the end, the old man seemed to be tired, his eyelids were tired, and he fell asleep.
Ji Cha covered him with a quilt, sat helplessly on a wooden chair nearby, and sighed worriedly: "At this age, you are still so repulsive about what happened back then. No wonder my cousin wanted to elope with General Liu... But who would have thought that once we say goodbye, it will be forever. Auntie, don’t you regret it? That is your only daughter..."
I don't know if he heard her words, but Bai Zhuang shed tears again in the corners of his eyes while sleeping.
Ji Cha looked at Ren Luo and wiped the corners of her eyes. After she fell asleep, she stood up and left quietly.
It was already dark at this time, and there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky. Ji Cha faced the moonlight and returned to his home. The home was empty, Ji Jin was not there, and there was no one to light a candle.
Lighting up the hall, she washed herself.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a rapid knock on the door.
She hurriedly opened the door and looked outside. Her familiar aunt said in a panic: "Xiaocha, something happened to your aunt."
Ji Cha was stunned for a moment and asked, "What happened? She clearly fell asleep when I just left..."
"I don't know what happened. The door of the courtyard is tightly closed, but there is a lot of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong out out out out of the door. Hurry up. Your aunt doesn't know anyone. Only you and Xiaowei can do it." Coax her."
Ji Cha quickly put on some clothes and ran back without his feet touching the ground.
As soon as I arrived outside my aunt's house, I saw a sleepy Ji Wei knocking on the door softly and shouting: "Mom, I am your daughter, I am back, please open the door."
But obviously, the people in the house didn't like this. Starting seven days ago, my aunt no longer regarded Xiaowei as her cousin.
In my aunt's memory, my cousin seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, but Xiaowei didn't fit in.
The clanging sound in the room became louder, and many people gathered outside the room. When they saw Ji Cha coming, they hurriedly told her, "I wonder what's wrong with the old man."
"It was his fourth uncle who heard some movement inside when he was knocking on the clock, and that's why everyone was alarmed."
"Quickly go in and take a look. The old lady doesn't know us. We're afraid of scaring her when we go in."
Ji Cha said "Hmm" with a worried look on his face and was about to fly over the wall when he looked in the distance and saw the clan leader and two elders also hurried over.
Ji Cha didn't know who told the clan leader that since my aunt became confused, she would teach her a lesson every time she saw the clan leader. It can be said that she didn't like this person very much. However, the clan leader was a contemporary of Uncle Sixteen and a junior of my aunt, so he was scolded. I could only listen and didn't dare to express my anger, but even so, my aunt still hated this person very much.
Ji Cha knew that this was because his great-uncle was arranged to go to sea by the clan leader's father and has not returned yet.
My aunt has always held this grudge against the patriarch's family, so even though she doesn't remember everyone, she still remembers the patriarch's family clearly.
The patriarch obviously didn't want to go in and listen to the old man's lesson, so when he saw Ji Cha preparing to climb over the wall to get in, he told her to be careful and he and the others stayed outside the door.
After Ji Cha entered, the first thing she saw was the mess on the floor of the inner hall. She carefully approached the door, lay down at the door, and looked inside.
When she looked at it, she saw her aunt staggering and hunched over, rummaging through the cabinet. She searched around, but found nothing. In a rage, she overturned the cabinet.
Ji Cha hurriedly rushed in, stabilized the cabinet, supported the old man's body, and asked: "Auntie, what are you looking for? You said what you are looking for, I will look for it for you, don't hurt yourself."
Bai Zhuang didn't even look at Ji Cha. She only looked around the room with trembling pupils and shouted in a daze: "Nan Zheng, where are you...Nan Zheng..."
Ji Cha half-hugged the old man dejectedly and said, "So you are looking for my great-aunt. He has gone out to do some work and will come back tomorrow. Don't worry, he will be back tomorrow."
Bai Zhuang pushed Ji Cha away and stumbled back to the inner room, turning over everything she saw as if she was trying to tear down the house.
Ji Cha was so anxious that she didn't know what kind of state her aunt was in. This situation had never happened before. Even though the old man would occasionally look for her husband or daughter nervously, she would never rummage through the boxes like this.
Is the condition serious again? Oh my God, what to do? Can Ji Jin bring Liu Wei back?
Ji Cha only felt exhausted mentally and physically.
