"My mother died."

After Nura's wedding, I went back to live on the Mountain of Resentment, and I haven't gone down the mountain for quite some time.I heard that during this period of time, the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Toyotomi regime was completely replaced by the Tokugawa regime.I don't know much about these, maybe it's similar to changing the dynasty?Although the emperor is still the emperor.But it doesn't feel like anything special to me.

Then on that day, Wutiaojing came to Resentment Prison Mountain and told me about his mother's death.

For a moment... I don't know how to comfort him.

In the pain of losing a mother, any comfort is slightly pale.

"Can I give you a hug?"

He was sitting on the stone pier outside, with his hands on his knees, and he raised his head. Under his messy hair, there was a lackluster face, which was quite different from his previous self.

But think about it, after all, it was my mother who died...

"If it feels better..." I opened my arms.

He leaned his head in my arms meekly, with his hands around his waist, his breath passing through the thin clothing into the pores.The heavy voice in the chest kept ringing.

"That's it, let me hold you for a while..."

……

It was raining outside, and the rain came so fast that I couldn't help worrying about raising the roof.It has been hundreds of years, and the cypress bark on the roof has not been used yet.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there were no raindrops, I put away the washbasin with confidence, and then looked at the motionless Wutiao mirror.

He is like a stone statue guarding a shrine, quietly watching the rain in a daze.

It's been like this since entering the shrine after it rained.

I didn't bother him, just refilling his tea now and then.I think the pain of losing my mother should not be comforted by outsiders.

"Actually, when I think about it, I can't even remember what my mother looks like."

It was as light as a sentence scattered in the rain, and I realized that it was Wutiaojing who was speaking.

When looking at him, he still looked the same and only looked at his back.

"In order to inherit the family's spells, the conjurer family hardly intermarries with ordinary people. My mother is from the Owari family, and I heard that her qualifications are not bad. But because she is a woman, the final result is just marriage. If Giving birth to a very talented child, her life can be considered complete..."

I fell silent.

Because it is ancient times, this kind of concept is also helpless.Wanting to change this sad situation will not be successful overnight. After all, if you want to fight against the entire era, you will inevitably pay a huge price.Moreover, it is simply impossible to achieve it alone.

"Later, my mother married my father, and gave birth to me a year later... There was even less time to come out. Her talent was fully displayed on me. It's a pity that she can only stay in that birdcage, Never even fly..."

I don't know what kind of mood Wu Tiaojing said these words, but his tone at the moment is like an outsider, neither sad nor happy.Telling about my mother's life is like saying a eulogy at a funeral,

My mood is very complicated.

In one sentence, he cut through the tragic side of the times.

To be honest, if possible, I don't want to time travel at all.How good is modern times. Although women's survival is still a bit difficult, compared to ancient times, I really don't know how happy they are.Be it marriage or something else.

I would rather stay in the Prison of Resentment Mountain for the rest of my life, so that I might not be aware of this gap.Although this kind of escapist mood cannot be maintained forever, it can comfort my mood.

But... now I don't want to run away anymore.

I am no longer my own self. Without my parents and Ye Feng who can always protect me, I have to learn to grow up. Although the process is painful, it is very useful, isn't it?

Ah, the topic is a bit off topic.

"I rarely see my mother." Wutiaojing's voice came again.At this time, the rain slowed down a little, and the raindrops fell down the eaves, connecting them into silk threads, swaying under the blowing of the wind.

"Perhaps she doesn't really want to see me either."

Speaking of Wu Tiao Jing's words, his tone was neither sad nor happy.

"I remember one time, I secretly ran to see her, and accidentally broke her beloved book. It is said that this book is extremely rare, which my father got from nowhere, and there are many rare spells on it. She didn't Angry, she just looked at me tenderly. She always embodies tenderness extremely perfectly. But my father was very angry. He felt that I had broken the precious thing he gave to his mother. In order to punish me, he locked me in a small dark room... ..."

Wu Tiaojing slowly closed his eyes, rested one hand on his bent knee, and propped his chin with the other, looking at the gradually clear forest.

Just listening to this description, I feel that Wu Tiaojing's father should love his wife, but for some reason, I feel that this love is superficial.

Did his father know what was on his mother's mind?

On this question, I am inclined to not know.Because I don't know, I rely on my own feelings.I feel good about things, so I want to give them to people I like.

But if you know what you don't know, that's the sad place...

"The first time I saw her smile from the bottom of my heart was when I released the bird I picked up one day. Before that, I ordered someone to build a brand new birdcage, and wanted to keep the bird as my own. I have. But when she knew the melancholy and compassion of my thoughts, I felt a deep sense of shame about my behavior. I wanted to make her happy, so I let the bird fly. She really showed a happy smile... …but only this time.”

Five Mirrors lowered their heads.

He fell silent.

I pretended not to see it, and pushed the tea towards him.

Just be a tree hole at this time, no need to make suggestions, just listen carefully and silently.

"...Later, when I grew up, and slowly came into contact with the family affairs of the Wujo family, I realized how unbearable the huge family is. This kind of unbearable situation is not only the Wujo family, but other big families must be the same. Mother, is she It is precisely because of this unbearable situation that you have no hope for your married life with your father?"

"When I became the head of the Wujo family, should I change it or maintain the status quo... This once put me in a dilemma."

It seemed that it was a bit long to say, Wu Tiaojing stopped, and was about to pick up the tea bowl to drink water.

I took the teacup one step ahead of him, "The tea is getting cold, I'll change it."

"No problem." He took the tea bowl from my hand and drank the cold tea in one gulp.

On that day, Wutiaojing stayed overnight at Resentment Prison Mountain.Fortunately, the sun was good a few days ago, and Aye dried all the quilts he had used before.

"...Sorry for bothering you."

"It's okay, you have a good rest, I'll watch over."

The rain outside the house has stopped, and the resounding cries of grasshoppers can be heard from the grass.

Only then did I realize that it was the beginning of autumn.

"It looks like the weather will be fine tomorrow..."

……

Later, Wutiaojing took me to the cemetery of Wutiaojing, where every member of the Wutiao family will be buried after death.Wu Tiaojing pointed to the tombstone of his family and said: "I will be buried here in the future."

"But if possible, I don't want to be buried here at all..."

It was a sunny day, and Qiuhu opened his teeth and claws.After leaving the cemetery, we went to the [Cat House] in Huajie. The cool temperature inside seemed to make me come alive again.

At that time, I saw Ah Ye drinking tea, and he brought a friend with him.

"Mom, this is Aizen." Aye introduced to me.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Chan." The honest and honest man showed a very kind smile.

For some reason, I felt that the smile was a bit fake.But since I'm Aye's friend, I didn't say much.

Aye said that the reason why Aizen came to Kyoto was to see the Raksha Haishi.

"Raksha Haishi? Ah... Liaozhai?"

When it comes to Luocha Haishi, my first reaction is Liaozhai.Then I remembered the Liaozhai TV series I had watched.The story of Rakshahai City in it cannot be said to be exactly the same as the original work, it can only be said to have nothing to do with it.The only similarity is probably the name Ma Ji...
