Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

Braving the wind and snow, the two entered the gate of Jincheng at noon three days later. When they learned of their daughter's return, Mrs. Ji was radiant, surprised and delighted. It was a rare reunion, and the couple were very happy. They held a big banquet that night to celebrate Ji Wanshu's return home. Except for Lu Huaiwei, the three of them were all drunk and slept until noon the next day.

When the sky got darker, Ji Wanshu endured a headache and got up. When he went out, he saw that Lu Huaiwei was taking medicine in the dining room, and he couldn't help asking strangely: "Are you sick?"

Lu Huaiwei looked at her with a smile, sighed softly and said: "Senior sister is too careless, I coughed like that yesterday, you didn't hear?"

Ji Wanshu was stunned for a moment, and said, "I didn't pay attention... If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have known you were still sick, so I would definitely not let you come with me."

"Don't say that, I blocked a lot of questions about Wen Zhaoyu for you during the dinner last night," Lu Huaiwei said, "Senior sister trusts me so much, I don't know how to repay, I can only do my best in these areas, senior sister doesn't have to take it personally responsibility."

When she mentioned Wen Chaoyu, Ji Wanshu's complexion changed. He wanted to talk to her about Wen Zhaoyu, but he gave up the idea in a second, and called the maid to bring some paper money for incense sticks, and said, "Then you will stay with me again." Let's go to the cemetery, and I will pay homage to the elder sister."

Lu Huaiwei readily agreed.

The two left the house and headed towards a high mountain in the suburbs with ease. The winter was getting deeper, and soon it was the end of the new year. The snow fell rapidly these days, and the mountains and plains were covered with snow, and the wind was filled with thick frost. , Ji Wanshu entered the cemetery and found the elder sister's tombstone, but stopped for no reason before getting close to it.

Seeing her frowning for a moment, Lu Huaiwei glanced at the tombstone and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Wanshu frowned and said nothing, striding over the meteor, and then said after a moment of silence: "Someone came here to worship."

"Then what's the matter?" Lu Huaiwei felt that she was making a fuss, "Maybe uncle and aunt came here."

"Impossible," Ji Wanshu said categorically, "My parents never come here to worship. They are old and can't see my elder sister's grave, and they won't let the servants come to help worship. I'm at home At that time, they didn't even dare to mention my elder sister, and every time they mentioned it, both of them would feel very sad, my elder sister is a taboo at home."

Lu Huaiwei expressed her understanding, looked at the traces of worship left in front of the tombstone, and said, "If it wasn't for the intention of uncle and aunt, who else would come? Look at these things, although they have been covered by snow, but the incense But the pillar is still inserted, it looks like it should have been erected not long ago, at most about a month, according to what Senior Sister said, no one else will come except Senior Sister, who could it be?"

Ji Wan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "The poisoning of the refugees in the major states and cities happened a month ago?"

Lu Huaiwei nodded: "Yes."

Ji Wanshu asked again: "Except for Jincheng, are all the states under our Yunhua jurisdiction spared?"

Lu Huaiwei still replied: "Yes."

Ji Wanshu raised his eyelashes abruptly, his expression changed.

Lu Huaiwei looked at her, not knowing why and said, "Senior Sister?"

Ji Wanshu closed her eyes, and she already guessed in her heart who had come here to worship, but she didn't tell Lu Huaiwei, she just let out a deep breath, and squatted down to burn the paper money.

Lu Huaiwei didn't ask any more questions when she saw this, and both of them fell silent. After the worship was over, Lu Huaiwei noticed Ji Wanshu's expression, and said, "Speaking of which, I have been here with Senior Sister many times, and I don't know about Senior Sister. Why did the elder sister pass away?"

Thinking that Wen Zhaoyu came to Jincheng after leaving Liehuochi, protected the refugees here, and came here specially to pay homage to his eldest sister, Ji Wanshu was in a complicated mood, and he replied after a long while: "According to my parents , passed away due to illness, I have never seen her, a few years after she left, my mother gave birth to me."

Noticing her sudden depression, Lu Huaiwei thought that seeing her eldest sister's tombstone affected her mood, so she didn't ask any more questions. The two stood in place for a while, then returned the same way, and went to Ji's house mansion.

After entering the courtyard, Mr. Ji was still sleeping, and the smell of alcohol in the room was still there. Mrs. Ji woke up and was taking a bath in the soup room. After hearing this, Lu Huaiwei greeted her through the door, and then she couldn't stand the headache and went back to the room After a nap, Ji Wanshu went into the soup room to comb Mrs. Ji's hair. The mother and daughter chatted for a while when they were rarely alone.

"It's rare for your father to be so happy when you come back this time. How about staying at home for two more months before leaving?" Mrs. Ji put on her obscene clothes, tied her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and couldn't hide her face smile.

Ji Wanshu looked at her mother's white hair that had grown out of her temples at some point, and said with downcast eyes: "... two days is fine, but two months is not. I still have important things to do, so I can't stay for long."

"You," Mrs. Ji seemed to have expected Ji Wanshu's answer like this, but she was still disappointed, "Now you are still the chief disciple and you are so busy. If you really become the master in the future, I will Don't you and your father really become an orphaned couple?"

Ji Wanshu frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"That's all, you wild girl, you only love the teacher's family and not the family," Mrs. Ji sighed, and smiled again, "I forgot to bring my coat just now, and I didn't ask the servant girl to follow me. You go to the room and fetch it for me. , it's cold outside, so I won't go by myself, you seldom go home, but let me, a mother, call you around once, and enjoy yourself."

Ji Wanshu replied "Okay", and immediately put down the wooden comb and walked across the courtyard to the bedroom. She pushed the door open, and saw that Master Ji was still sleeping soundly on the bed, so she kept her movements light, not wanting to wake him up.

Picking out a thick winter coat in the closet, Ji Wanshu was about to leave, but she felt a little ashamed when she thought that the number of times she had stepped into her parents' room in so many years was so few. This room is almost the same as when she was a child, almost unchanged.

The jewelry on the dressing table was placed neatly, and there were also many copied Buddhist scriptures. Ji Wanshu looked at the traces of his mother's life, looked at the jeweled hairpins and hair accessories, and thought of Mrs. Ji's temples again. With the white hair beside him, he couldn't help feeling more guilty.

She looked around, walked around the room a few times with light steps, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Ji had added a special cabinet, which contained all the things she used when she was a child. Ji Wanshu moved and opened the curtain. After entering the outer room, I saw the cabinet in the corner on the west side.

She opened the cabinet door, and the first thing that caught her eyes was a small iron sword—it was the first saber given to her by Xu Lianzhi, the mentor sister, when she first entered Yunhua Palace.

More than ten years later, the sword is still as clean as new, with no trace of rust. It is obvious that Mrs. Ji took good care of it. Ji Wanshu was moved, and he played with the small iron sword a few times, and smiled to himself. , and then found a lot of gadgets inside.Grasshoppers woven from bamboo, cujus played by children, little people carved from wood, as long as they were objects she played with when she was a child, they were basically stored here by Mrs. Ji, along with the little clothes she wore when she was a few years old. Still kept, piece by piece, pieced together Ji Wanshu's much-loved childhood.

Reminiscent of the days of retreat in the past five years, and reminiscent of the fact that the elders at home have no one to serve them, Ji Wan saw these things, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She sighed deeply, put the small iron sword back in her hand, When he was about to close the cabinet door to find Mrs. Ji, he suddenly saw a locked wooden box in his eyes.

What is so precious that it needs to be locked?Curious, Ji Wanshu took out the wooden box. Unexpectedly, the box was not only light, but the lock on it was also dated. Ji Wanshu just touched it by accident, and the lock clicked. "It was disconnected with a sound, and then fell to the ground.

Ji Wanshu caught the lock in mid-air with quick eyes and quick hands. She looked down and saw that there was only a piece of paper inside, which was obviously aged, very fragile, and yellowed all over. , the handwriting on it has also been blurred, and it is not easy to read.

Ji Wanshu reached out to pick it up, held it up to her eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, after seeing what was written on it, her face suddenly changed, her eyes showed shock, and she was stunned in place as if struck by lightning .

With a "bang", the wooden box in his hand fell to the ground, and it fell to pieces in an instant. Although the sound was not loud, it woke up Master Ji in the room.

"Who broke something with rough hands and feet?" Mr. Ji put on his clothes and lifted the curtain with sleepy eyes. After seeing that it was Ji Wanshu, he softened his tone and asked, "Oh...it's late Shu, what are you standing there looking at?"

Ji Wanshu didn't seem to hear what he said, she was stunned for a long time before turning around suddenly holding the piece of paper.

Seeing the strong anger and hatred in her eyebrows, Mr. Ji felt a little puzzled in his heart. He was about to ask another question when he suddenly saw something in Ji Wanshu's hand. Shrinking, the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat.

The father and daughter looked at each other with different expressions, and they both lost their words at this moment, and no one spoke for a long time. After a long time, they heard the door of the room being pushed open gently. Mrs. Ji was wearing thin obscene clothes and was frozen to the ground. trembling.

"Wanshu? What about the clothes I asked you to bring for your mother?" Mrs. Ji entered the door with a smile, without looking at Ji Wanshu. As soon as she entered, she only saw Master Ji with a surprised expression, and she couldn't help but wondered , "When did the master wake up, you... what's wrong with you?"

Master Ji moved his lips, but he couldn't say a word, his face was pale, he took two steps back covering his heart, finally couldn't hold back his jumping like thunder, and shouted at Mrs. Ji sharply: "Look at what you have done! Back then, I told you to burn that thing, but you refused to listen! You had to keep it as a souvenir! How is it now... how is it now! You can explain it to her yourself!"

Mrs. Ji was at a loss, she didn't understand what was going on, and she saw Ji Wanshu standing in the other corner when her eyes wandered. When Mrs. Ji saw her appearance, and then looked at the paper in her hand, her heart suddenly jumped. It was tight, as if someone had poured a basin of snow water on his head, and his limbs and bones were completely cold.

Before Ji Wanshu started all the questioning, tears started to flow from her red eyes. She gripped the paper so hard that it was about to shatter, but she couldn't make a sound.

"Wan Shu... Wan Shu!" Mrs. Ji's seven souls were almost scared away by Ji Wanshu, her face turned red, and she hurriedly walked towards Ji Wanshu, trembling, "This... you , What are you doing looking through the things in this cabinet when you have nothing to do? Return it quickly, return it to A Niang."

Ji Wanshu's whole body was tense, with strong anger in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and asked, "I'm not your own, but adopted from outside, why didn't you tell me about this!"

Mr. Ji was in the room listening to this sentence, and threw something angrily. Mrs. Ji was startled by the sound, and said anxiously: "Wan Shu, listen to Mother's explanation first. Mother didn't mean to hide it from you. Who wants to know?" I was not born by my parents? My mother didn't tell you, it was for your own good, lest you would be sad if you found out—"

"Shut up! You two are clearly trying to hide it from me!" Ji Wanshu was so angry that the veins on his neck burst out, "It clearly says Guanyin Temple, you adopted me from Guanyin Temple, Now you answer me yourself, is it right?"

Mrs. Ji struggled, and said in pain: "Yes...you were adopted from Guanyin Temple, but so what? Parents love you so much, don't they treat you as their own daughter all these years? Wan Shu, you just now Knowing that this matter is definitely unacceptable, A Niang understands your feelings, but you must not get angry, this is actually not a big deal, even if you are adopted, your parents still love you, right? ?”

Ji Wanshu smiled sadly, his body was unstable, he staggered back two steps, his heart was cold.

To this day, she still clearly remembers what Wen Zhaoyu said to her at the Ziwei Sect General Forum. Wen Zhaoyu claimed that her parents were businessmen and the richest man in a certain city. A serious illness was abandoned by her parents in the hospital. It was Nangong and her daughter who passed by and brought her back to the Ziwei Sect to save her life.

She also mentioned that her mother had not been pregnant for several years after she was abandoned, so she went to Guanyin Temple to adopt a young girl. Now that she thinks about it, isn't that young girl Ji Wanshu?And the richest man in a certain city, isn't they Jincheng Ji's family?

No wonder Ji Wanshu couldn't find a big family with the surname Wen before retreating. It turned out that there was no big family with the surname Wen. Wen Zhaoyu must change her name when she went to the Ziwei Sect. How could her real surname be Wen?It's the surname Ji!

It's no wonder that Wen Chaoyu tried every means to avoid her, to avoid her, Wen Chaoyu went back to Ji's house several times to secretly visit his parents, how could she not know who the adopted daughter was?She already knew that the person who took her place was Ji Wanshu!For so many years, she has kept this secret. Faced with Ji Wanshu's pursuit, she has always refused to explain the reason for leaving, and even now she still refuses to explain it. It turns out...the truth of the matter is so absurd!

The door was still open, and the cold wind rushed into the house wantonly and frantically, Ji Wanshu burst into tears, and finally crumpled the birth certificate.

Mrs. Ji was shivering from the cold, and she couldn't remember to put on her clothes at this time. She quickly approached Ji Wanshu, held Ji Wanshu's hand, and said earnestly: "Wanshu, calm down first, no one who knows about this Many, only your father and I know that when your mother brought you back from the Guanyin Temple, you were born not long ago, and the pilgrims who lived in the temple left you behind. I stopped crying, I’m still laughing, since I lost your elder sister, I haven’t been able to conceive a child. When I saw you, I really liked you very much. Your father also has a relationship with you, and he also loves you when he sees you. I like it, we discussed it and brought you back that day."

Ji Wanshu bit her lips tightly, trying to hold back her tears, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "Then why is my elder sister gone?"

Mrs. Ji looked at her and said, "Is it okay to be sick? Didn't I tell you a long time ago?"

"What disease?" Ji Wanshu asked with a cold expression, "She died of some serious illness, and you two elders have been unable to mention it for so many years, and even refused to go to the cemetery to pay homage to her in person!"

Mrs. Ji muttered for a moment, then replied: "It's been so many years ago, how can Auntie still remember it clearly? In short, it can't be cured anyway, and it will be gone when she is ten years old."

Ji Wanshu sneered: "Is it because I can't remember clearly, or because I dare not tell me the truth at all?"

Mrs. Ji was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"

"You know what I said very well!" Ji Wan said bitterly, "You have heard the nonsense of the Taoist priest Yunyou and believed that my elder sister's fate is unknown, and she can't control her relatives and friends, so you throw her in the hospital. Don't ask, just watch her die!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji was shocked, her lips trembling and unable to reply, but Mr. Ji rushed out in a rage, cursing: "Bastard! Which son or daughter talks to parents like you! How can you be so unfilial! Your elder sister Died due to illness, that is something that many people know, just ask any servant to find out, where did you hear the crazy talk!"

Ji Wanshu sneered: "Where did you hear that? Naturally, your own daughter told me."

Master Ji raised his voice and said: "Don't talk nonsense! Your eldest sister has been dead for so many years, did she give you a dream, or turned into a ghost and came to you!"

"She's dead or not, don't you know?" Ji Wanshu looked directly at Master Ji with a cold tone, "I used to always find it strange that you never asked about affairs in the Jianghu, and you didn't even know many people in Yunhua Palace. This one, however, knows Wen Chaoyu's identity well. After she returned to the Ziwei Sect, you suddenly stopped me and didn't let me find her. Let me ask you, did Wen Chaoyu meet you when he left Yunhua Palace suddenly? Did you let her go!"

As soon as she mentioned Wen Chaoyu's name, Master Ji and Mrs. Ji couldn't help being shocked, and their expressions changed drastically. Ji Wanshu didn't wait for them to answer, but just looked at the expressions of her parents and got the answer. She gave the birth certificate Putting it in his arms, he suddenly drew his sword and turned around, slashing at the cabinet, only to see two silver-white sword lights flashing past, the cabinet was chopped off in half in an instant, and the contents inside rolled to the ground immediately. Turned into a mess.

"Wanshu—!" Mrs. Ji was in grief, crying and rushing towards the broken cabinet, "You are angry, you blame us, you shouldn't destroy these things..."

"It's not mine," Ji Wanshu stood holding his sword, his eyes flushed, "This should belong to Wen Chaoyu. I own everything from her, and I owe her all of this."

Master Ji was furious, pointed at Ji Wanshu and said, "You...you bastard!"

The author has something to say: I would like to report to everyone that it turns out that my red envelopes are useless, and I cannot upgrade the level by sending red envelopes, but today the administrator finally replied to me.

The reason for not upgrading is: I recharged 30 at the beginning, but it was only 29 after deducting the fee, so I immediately added 10, a total of 40, and then the administrator told me that I did not recharge the full amount of 30 twice (must A single recharge is full 30), so I can't upgrade, so, I simply recharged 50 today, and finally upgraded.
