Waste phase tracking handwriting

Chapter 103
Heavy rain poured down, the endless night swept over the mountains and forests, and the mountain springs flowed slowly in the darkness.

Tai Yaoer never knew what was contained in this dark little room, and her mother never let her in, except for one person, the senior sister.

At this time, she was listening to the rain hitting the window, and her heart was extremely agitated. The rain in the mountains and forests fell on the leaves and grass blades. Her ears were noisy, and her heart was even more difficult to calm down.

As soon as she returned home and told her father the bad news about Gu Mo, she soon found that the ordinary hall had been emptied out and there was no one left.

What was even more difficult for her to accept was the expression on the master's face when he saw Gu Mo's corpse after splitting the wood carving. It was not pain, but a kind of fear. She had never seen that kind of fear on her father's face.

Tai Yaoer looked at her mother. While she was waiting for her father to give her a reason, her father had disappeared.

Only her mother was left, and she called her to come to her.

She knelt for too long. There was no light in the room and it was empty.

Mother sat on the only chair in the small room. She knelt on the ground, resting on her mother's thigh. She wore her grandma's emerald earrings, which were stuck to her face.

Mother raised her hand, took a lamp from the table, blew on the fire stick, and lit a lamp.

Only then did she see clearly the worry in her mother's eyes.

"Mom, why are my father and senior brothers and sisters gone?"

The mother stroked her head, followed her chin to her ears, and stopped at the green emerald earrings.

"Grandma gave this to me."

"I know, you said it once." Mother said.

"Mom, you haven't answered me yet, where is dad?"

She sighed, "If it's outside the mountains, that would be the best."

Tai Yao'er didn't understand what her mother said, "Why is it best outside the mountains?"

She stopped answering Yao'er's question and just asked, "When will your friend who delivers the letter come back to the mountain to find you?"

As soon as Lin Xiaofeng arrived at the gate of the mountain, she was worried that her father and mother would ask her more about the man's relationship with her, so she sent him out to write a peace letter to her senior sister. After all, Lin Xiaofeng had come to the ordinary hall to look for trouble for her senior sister before, and it was her senior sister who was there at that time. She stayed in this small room for several days, and she was very worried about her senior sister at that time.

"After he finishes delivering, he will wait for me at the mountain gate."

Mother nodded, "Very good, you can follow him from now on."

"what?"

Tai Yao'er was confused. What strange words did her mother say? "Why should I go with him?"

"I will place Gu Mo's body properly. When that person comes, you can go back to Liangzhu with him. I know Gou Yue is a good child and she will protect you."

Tai Yao'er's heart was churning. Even though she didn't understand it, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong. "Mom, can you tell me what happened?"

She looked into Tai Yao'er's eyes and smiled, "When you go back this time, my mother has not seen you for a long time and misses you."

"Yeah, I miss my mother too." She pressed her face tightly against her mother's knees, "Originally, the senior sister was going to come back, but she wanted to give lessons in the palace and teach martial arts to the children of the Yuan clan. What do you think? Isn’t Senior Sister very promising?”

The mother said, "She has always been an unusual child, but in my eyes, you are my most promising child?"

"Ok?"

"When I was pregnant, I was poisoned, so after I gave birth to you, you were so weak that you almost couldn't be saved before you were even a full month old. If you hadn't worked hard later, how could you have grown to such a big size?"

Tai Yaoer smiled shyly and said, "Mom, what I mean is that a person has to achieve something and look like a human being in order to be promising. I'm just living, how can I live up to my expectations?"

Mother said, "You don't understand, your life is very meaningful to many people."

"What do you mean, mother, why don't you make it clear?"

She just shook her head, "I have met the man who sent you back. He wanted to save Gou Yue before leaving. I fought with him. He is considered to be the top master in the world. His sword skills are very fast. You and him are in the same position." Together, I feel relieved.”

"I'm not with him."

She said, "Mother knows, mother knows."

"I won't be with him."

"When Wen Yuanzhi came to the ordinary hall, after she left, you drew his little portraits on the last page of the books about talented people and beauties. Mom saw it."

Tai Yaoer hurriedly defended, "He is the person that senior sister likes. Naturally, I won't think about fighting for love."

"Hahahahaha, what are you worried about? It's just you and mother here, don't be afraid. Mother wants to say that what you like is that kind of literati, not martial brothers, but Yao'er, not all literati can be like Wen Yuanzhi Strategy can be better than martial arts. When you travel in the world, you rely not on the pen but the weapon. He is a person in the court, and he is immersed in the pen and ink, so he can be so elegant. Elegance cannot protect your life, you have to understand this. Mother I don’t want you to rely on others, but when your martial arts can protect yourself, my mother will rest assured.”

"Mom, you didn't ask me to like someone like Lin Xiaofeng?"

"Why should I force you?" She said with the eyes of an experienced person, "However, I think if you stay with him, you can live a stable life."

She was a little tired of hearing this, "Mom, stop talking about him."

"it is good."

"I asked you just now where your father was, why didn't you tell me?"

She sighed, "Your earrings are so beautiful, they remind me of my mother."

"Yes, grandma gave it to me. It's worth thousands of gold, grandpa said."

She realized that this was the third time her mother had said, "Mom, you are a little weird."

"You miss grandma, then why don't you go down the mountain and see her?"

The mother didn't speak for a long time. In the dimness, Tai Yao'er heard a sigh.

"What's wrong?" She raised her head and saw a huge tear falling.

"mother?"

"You are crying!"

"It's okay, I just miss her, she still cares about me so much."

Tai Yao'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, grandma said, she said that I will not be allowed to go to her in the future."

The mother's eyes were extremely sad, "Can she tell where she and my father went?"

"No, she just said she would never return to Liangzhu forever and didn't want to see us."

She smiled, but tears kept falling, "My parents probably hate me already."

"Why?"

Tai Yao'er only felt that there was a lot of confusion. She wanted to see through what her mother was hiding, but her words were full of puzzles waiting for her.

In her daughter's eyes full of doubts, she said, "When I was your age, I lived in a very gorgeous palace. There were flowers that bloomed all year round. The clothes I wore were as soft as clouds. Just, the skin can be broken by a blow. At that time, I thought I would live an ordinary life like that all my life. It wasn’t until I left that I realized that it was a luxurious life.”

Her mother never talked about her past. Her hands, which had been holding swords all year round, were rough and covered with calluses. She could not imagine that her mother had once been a weaker girl.

"Why did mother leave?"

She said, "It's a very long story, so long that I can't finish it."

"Can't you tell me a little bit?" Tai Yao'er had forgotten that her father was missing and the ordinary hall was empty. She also didn't notice that there was an empty wall in the room where the memorial tablet was placed. Under the light, she thought it was a bookshelf. , just for placing books.

"How should I tell that story? Now that I think about it, it's all a nightmare. If you insist on listening, then let mother tell it from the story of a general in Dachu who shed blood for thousands of miles. He was also the one who captured your aunt's wife alive on the battlefield. Chu’er’s man.”

"what is his name?"

"Yan Yabo, I heard from your grandfather that he is a Nansa from the Imperial Court of Chu." "Nansa?"

"In Ruozhi, many people also call them shamans or fortune tellers."

Tai Yao'er was surprised, "A shaman can actually fight?"

"Chu people are fond of martial arts, and they do not discriminate against people like the Traveling Doctors and Shamans. They are a group of barbarians who highly value force. This man is the warrior who opened up the territory for Chu."

"and after?"

"Because of him, Hou Yan suffered repeated defeats in battles. The Emperor of Hou Yan was so angry that he decided to personally conquer Northern Chu."

Tai Yao'er didn't believe it. She heard from other places that the Hou Yan royal family were all cowards and abandoned the people and fled. "Really?"

"However, I was persuaded by my ministers and chose another general to go out. This general fought with Da Chu for three years and finally defeated Da Chu."

"Then why did Houyan disappear?"

"Have you ever thought about it. After three years of exhausting the country's strength in the war, the people have no way to make a living. Coupled with the locust disaster, the people have long complained."

"So someone rose up and drove away the Houyan royal family?"

She shook her head and refused to tell the story of what happened next.

"Mom, what do you say?"

Her thoughts seemed to drift back to many years ago, "I only remember that the phoenix patterns carved on many blue bricks were full of blood. I wiped them with my snow-white socks. When I got to the steps and looked down, there was a person lying on each step. Man. My socks absorbed too much blood. The faster I ran, the heavier the socks became. In the end I could only run barefoot in the blood. When I got to the pool I wanted to go to, I saw that there was no clear water in it. , the fish food in the lotus fish box is also soaked in blood."

Tai Yao'er covered her mouth, terrified, and couldn't help but feel sick, "Stop talking, mother."

At this moment, she heard the sound of a beast in the back mountain, "Is there something in the mountain?"

Mother said no more, "It's time for you to go."

"Where should I go?" Tai Yao'er was puzzled.

"Your friends haven't come yet, so you have to go on your own."

For the first time, she felt that her mother was so strange, "Don't scare me, mother, what's wrong with you?"

A knife had already flown into the door and stabbed the armrest of the chair where my mother was sitting.

This is a thin knife.

"Ah!" Tai Yao'er screamed.After a moment, he calmed down and suddenly stood up and looked around.

It seemed that she had not left the mountain. The woman on the chair gave a bitter smile.

But just after this knife, no one came out.

She mustered up her courage again, drew out her sword, and protected Tai Yao'er, "Don't be afraid, be a good boy."

"I'm not afraid." Tai Yao'er cried, turning back to look at her mother on the chair.

Looking again, there was an arrow on the mother's throat, piercing it from left to right.

The arrow was so fast that her mother only called her "good boy" and then she could no longer make any sound.

The arrow was shot from outside the window. This house was very strange before, the doors and windows were sealed, but today when her mother brought her here, the windows were all open.

Tai Yao'er stood there stunned for a while, as if this was an illusion. This person was not her mother, it was just an illusion.

Blood dripped from her neck onto the ground beneath her feet.

Tick.

Tick.

……

Her eardrums suddenly hurt, and her throat almost swallowed a ball of fire and it was hard to breathe. She held her mother's shoulders and cried, "Mother, mother!"

She was helpless and wanted to pull out the arrow from her mother's neck, but she didn't dare to do it easily. Her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't hold anything. She subconsciously covered her mother's bleeding wound, "No, please..."

She kept calling mother, as if this would stop her from the pain.

The mother opened her mouth and said something silently.

She cried so much that her vision was blurred. It was only later that she saw clearly that what she was saying was, "Let's go... let's go..."

She finally closed her eyes.

No matter how much her daughter called her, she refused to wake up.

Just like Tai Yao'er was naughty in those years. He got up early in the morning to make trouble for her, kissed her face again and again, just to wake her up. She pretended to sleep, snored on purpose, and refused to pay attention to her.

Tai Yaoer collapsed, "Come out!"

"who is it?!"

"If you dare to kill my mother, I will cut you into pieces!"

My mother was very good at martial arts and taught many disciples in the sect. She died like this without even a chance to resist. The arrow was so fast.

She wiped away her tears and ran out, walking along the mountain road to the back mountain. The sound just now came from the back mountain.

She didn't carry a lantern, so the corpse under her feet tripped her, and she saw two corpses overlapped on the ground.

One is Senior Brother Yu Changen, and the other is Junior Sister Tai Tongtong. This little girl is an orphan that her mother picked up a few years ago. Her mother teaches her moves on weekdays. She is not good at martial arts and likes to goof off with Yao Er. , Yaoer remembers that after this winter, she was only 13 years old.

It's too worry-free to continue moving forward. He is also an orphan, but he is much older than Yao'er. The task of escorting is given to him, and he never fails.At this time, he had fallen on the grass, holding the long knife tightly with both hands, but the knife was only halfway out. Before he could pull it out, a dart pierced his throat.

Tai Yaoer's whole body was shivering, and the rainstorm pear blossom needle in his sleeve was already ready to move.

She continued to walk forward, and at this moment, a very bright sword pointed at her quietly in the moonlight.

She knew the man holding the sword.

This man also knew her.

"Miss Yao'er, long time no see."

Xuan Niang sneered, with a snake-like smile on her face.

After these words, other people hidden in the forest also appeared.

"I originally thought you had help, but now it seems we were just overly worried," Wu Zefei said.

"Why are you ambush here?" Tai Yao'er wanted to speak louder, but the louder she spoke, her voice started to tremble.

"That's a stupid question of yours," one man said.

"Why?"

Xuan Niang also laughed, "Isn't it stupid that you always ask why?"

Wu Zefei said, "Why do you think you were able to successfully bring the assassin's body out of Liangzhu? Don't you think it's too simple?"

Only then did she realize that she had taken the bait all the way back with Gu Mo. These people followed her to the ordinary hall.
