Hometown beacon smoke old time shadow

The three of them went upstairs together, Huiqiu touched the handle of the stairs and thought, this is probably the place where Lianzhou always slipped down secretly when she was a child.Yunluo turned the corner on the second floor, and Zhaoshi led Huiqiu to the third floor.Huiqiu thought to herself, the third floor is probably Lianzhou's mother's room.So when he got to the door, he refused to go in, just looked at Zhaoshi.Zhaoshi also understood what she meant, knocked on the door, went in, greeted Jingxian and Zhaoquan, and said, "I brought Huiqiu back, and it's outside the door." Jingxian stood up, and greeted the door: "Why don't you come in, what are you doing standing outside?"

Huiqiu didn't expect that Jingxian would come to welcome her at the door, the wives in charge of the house are always full of style, and they have to sit upright and wait for someone to come to greet her.

As soon as the door opened, she froze.Although the hair of the lady in front of her has been permed, it is meticulously tied behind her head, revealing her full forehead. A silver-gray shawl is worn over the dark green velvet cheongsam. Lian Zhou has shown her mother's photos countless times. Huiqiu knows The lady with outstanding temperament in front of her is Lianzhou's mother, but she couldn't say a word.It was Jing Xian who hugged her into her arms: "My good boy, you have suffered."

"The child is back in good condition. Why are you crying?" Huiqiu saw a woman who was about the same age as Lianzhou's mother behind her, but she didn't have her hair up. She put her curly hair behind her ears and wore a purple dress. Crepe satin cheongsam, covered with lotus-colored woolen cardigan. Thin eyebrows and straight nose are similar to those of Lianzhou, but with a pair of red phoenix eyes and slightly higher cheekbones, showing a bit of temper.Huiqiu understood that this was probably Lianzhou's aunt.So he calmed down and saluted, "Hello, Auntie, hello Auntie." The auntie was straightforward, and took her arm to enter the door, "There is another one who didn't salute." The younger one in the room also had curly hair , but with neat bangs and no cheongsam, brown corduroy pants and a creamy white sweater, Huiqiu hurriedly said, "Hello, auntie."

Zhaoquan cheered up, and said to Jingxian: "Our Lianzhou still has eyesight, this girl is so smart, and no one introduced her when she came in, she recognized her." Huiqiu was embarrassed by Zhaoquan's words: "Lianzhou She often mentioned the elders in the family to me, and showed me photos." Seeing that Huiqiu couldn't help but miss Lianzhou, Jingxian took her hand and said, "My child, take good care of her when you come home, and treat her like a child. This is my home, so you're welcome." Then she turned to Lan Xin and said, "Go and look through to see if there are clothes suitable for this child and find some clothes for her, and let the kitchen simmer a pot of chicken soup. Also, let someone put Lianzhou's room is tidied up and put in for Huiqiu." Lan Xin pursed her lips and smiled and said, "My sister-in-law looks down on me too much, Zhaoshi called and said she would bring Huiqiu back, and I was ready to leave. But this child is too thin, My clothes are probably a little too big, so let’s make do with it. The bath water has already been boiled, so I’ll take Huiqiu down to take a bath and change clothes. It’s still early for dinner, and the kitchen has stewed bird’s nest with rock sugar. After a while Huiqiu takes a bath and drinks a bowl." Huiqiu was very uncomfortable, because since she was a child, people have never seen people around her, which made her at a loss, so she had to follow Lan Xin down the stairs. .

Lan Xin sat in the living room and waited for Hui Qiu to come out of the shower.After a long time without seeing anyone, I thought that she was probably covered in grime, and I had to take this opportunity to reorganize my mood, so I didn't rush her.After a while, she heard that the sound of running water had stopped, but no one came out, Lan Xin was worried, knocked on the door, but there was no movement, so she pushed the door and went in, ignoring other things.Probably because the water was a bit hot and there was a lack of oxygen in the bathroom, Huiqiu collapsed at the door of the bathroom with her eyes closed, her teeth clenched, her chest heaving and falling, and her breathing was short of breath.

Lan Xin was shocked, and hurriedly called Yun Luo to help carry Hui Qiu to the bed.The light in the bathroom was not good, and when Lan Xin pulled the quilt over to cover Hui Qiu, she couldn't help screaming when she saw her half-naked body.

"Second Grandma, what's the matter?" Luckily, Yun Luo was busy opening the window for air, but before she could take a closer look, she turned her head when she heard Lan Xin's voice.Lan Xin waved her hand while pinching Hui Qiu, "It's okay, you go and call the doctor, and open the door."

The room was ventilated, Huiqiu's breathing gradually stabilized, and the sweat on her face gradually faded away.As soon as she opened her eyes, she suddenly realized that she was not wearing any clothes. She immediately grabbed the quilt on her body and wrapped it tightly.Lan Xin said softly: "Hui Qiu, don't be nervous, relax. This is at home. I poured sugar water, you drink some." Hui Qiu still looked around vigilantly, Lan Xin said: "This is Lian Zhou's room, You are sleeping in his bed, don't be afraid."

The room was very quiet, only Huiqiu's heavy breathing could be heard, and after a while she said, "Auntie, can you go out for a while?" Lan Xin understood what she meant, and pointed to the head of the bed, "Put all the clothes away." It’s here, you lie down first, and then wear it when you feel all right, and call me if you need help. Slow down when you get up, don’t be too violent, the doctor will come in a while.”

As soon as she went out, Lan Xin arranged for Yun Luo to wait at the door, and ran upstairs covering her mouth, for fear that Hui Qiu would hear her crying in the living room.Zhao Shi was in the room, and Lan Xin threw herself into his arms and let out a mournful cry.Zhaoshi was taken aback, "What's the matter, don't cry, tell me what's wrong." As he spoke, he held her neck with one hand, and took out a handkerchief with the other to wipe her tears .Lan Xin choked up and said, "Hui Qiu, that child Hui Qiu is so pitiful. The scars on her body make people have nightmares. How did she survive?"

Zhaoshi patted her on the back: "The scars on my body can be healed, and I can wear clothes to cover them up. I don't know how to heal the wounds in my heart. On the way back, she was very vigilant. I talked to him a little Her eyes were terrified when she got closer." Of course, Zhaoshi knew the methods of torture, even in the simulated classroom, the male students often lamented that life would be worse than death, and what Huiqiu experienced was bound to be even more tragic.He sighed: "Our family and Lianzhou owe too much to Huiqiu." When rescuing Huiqiu, Zhaoshi managed to read all her files. Yes, it is the secret of Lianzhou.In order to keep him, Huiqiu almost sacrificed everything.

The two were sad when Yun Luo came to knock on the door: "Second Mistress, Dr. Duke is here. That Miss Lin refused to let the doctor show her anything, but just shrank in the corner of the bed. Go and have a look." Lan Knowing that this was exactly what Zhao Shi had just said, he hurried downstairs and said to Dr. Duke: "This lady was a little frightened, don't worry about it. She fainted in the bath just now, I think maybe It’s because the brain is a little hypoxic, so you just need to keep some medicine.” Dr. Duke shrugged: “If she’s still physically strong, she might as well go out for a walk and get some fresh air. She looks very nervous, I think it’s ok Leave some sedatives for her."

“Thank you so much”

Dr. Duke said: "I may be returning to China soon, but I will definitely come to say goodbye before I leave." Lan Xin smiled and said: "Although I am sorry to lose a good doctor, but I still congratulate you for returning to your own hometown."

Lan Xin gave Hui Qiu a small amount of sedatives and let her sleep for a while.When Huiqiu opened her misty eyes, the sky had already darkened, and the window was still open for ventilation, and she had an extra blanket on her body.

Hui Qiu finally got dressed and appeared in the living room, Lan Xin immediately got up from the sofa: "Hui Qiu, are you better?" Hui Qiu nodded embarrassedly: "I have caused you a lot of trouble." Be more polite to her: "It's just right, dinner is about to start, let's go to the restaurant together."

In the dining room, Jing Xian was already sitting at the head, with Zhao Shi and Zhao Quan on both sides, Lan Xin sat down beside Zhao Shi, and arranged for Hui Qiu to sit beside her.Sangzhi took Amao and sat beside Zhaoquan.Ever since Sang Zhi took the two children to eat together, Lan Xin was inconvenient to serve Jing Xian with food, because she was afraid that Sang Zhi would feel uncomfortable.It was replaced by Sangzhi's daughter, Xiaomei. Although Jing Xian gave her the scientific name of Zhou Chun, the family still used to call her Xiaomei.Zhaoquan laughed at her: "You have done the work of a daughter-in-law, how dare you marry our family as a daughter-in-law?" But the younger sister pouted and said, "Don't coax me again, my aunt, the second grandma is not sitting next to my son-in-law." Daughter-in-law, there is another son in this family who wants me to be his daughter-in-law."

Sang Zhi hurriedly said: "Your speech is getting worse and worse. It's because you are used to it." Zhaoquan smiled: "Your girl has been funny since she was a child, and it suits my taste. I might as well marry back and be my daughter-in-law." The little girl brought soup to Jingxian and said: "Eldest grandma didn't say anything fair for us, and my aunt coaxed me once or twice. It's not that Master Biao didn't bring young mistress here." Zhaoquan still teased She: "Where am I kidding you, Xiaopeng in my family hasn't married a wife yet." The little girl stomped her feet angrily, and didn't know what to say, and it took a long time for her to say: "Master Xiaopeng is several years older than the young master." " Zhaoquan laughed even more now, and even Zhaoshi couldn't help but almost spit out a mouthful of soup in his mouth.Zhaoquan pointed at Sangzhi and said: "Look at you, you are only a little older, but you know that you despise Xiaopeng for being too old." At this moment, Jingxian had no choice but to say: "You too, such a young child, you are fine Vomit what she is doing."

Huiqiu didn't know Sangzhi's mother and son, she saw that Amao looked much younger than Lianzhou, and didn't look like a child of this family, so she looked at Lan Xin a little strangely.Only then did Lan Xin understand, and hurriedly introduced, "This is Sister-in-law Zhou. She used to be sister-in-law's companion, but now she is our chief housekeeper. She can ask for anything you need."

Huiqiu was secretly saddened that her own mother was also a housemaid, but she was tortured to death by the young lady who had been serving her since she was a child.Apart from the injustice of fate, she didn't know how to sigh.She looked at Jingxian who was on the main seat with some gratitude, as if she wanted to thank Jingxian for Lianzhou and Mrs. Zhou, thanking her for not making these people as miserable as herself and her own mother.
