Chapter 1015

"After a long time, the villagers gradually became familiar with your mother and Granny Qiu. Your mother asked us to call her Lady Aya. We don't know her specific name."

"But your mother was very generous. Every time Granny Qiu went out to buy things, she would give something to each family. We were all very grateful to her.

Especially me, because I saved her life, I gave more things than others every time. "

"You were born in the spring of the second year after your mother came. There weren't many outsiders in our small mountain village, and there weren't many people who had children. There was no midwife at all, so I volunteered to help you deliver!

Let me think, you … should be eighteen years old this year. Eighteen years ago, it's gone in the blink of an eye! "

After Lady Jiu finished lamenting, she continued, "After giving birth to you, your mother's health had always been poor. She was often bedridden. At that time, I was very surprised. After giving birth to you, I didn't change much. Later on, my body became stronger. Your mother knew martial arts, so shouldn't she be better?

Later on, I heard from your mother that because she was seriously injured last time, she couldn't be cured. After giving birth to you, her vitality was greatly damaged, and she couldn't recover! "

"What's the old saying again?

Misfortunes never come singly. Your mother's health was getting weaker and weaker, and you had problems. Since you were born, you looked fine for the first few years, but for some reason, from the age of five, you were often muddle-headed. Sometimes, you didn't even know who you were, and you didn't know your mother. You often got lost outside the village.

We all advised your mother not to live here anymore. She should move back to the town or a bigger town, and let the doctors there treat your mother and you.

However, your mother refused to agree no matter what. She only said that your illness was related to her injuries in the past. It was because her vitality was greatly damaged. She said that your Yin meridians were damaged, which caused your congenital deficiency. When you grow up, you will slowly recover! "

"Of course, we couldn't do anything about it. We could only pay more attention to you. Anyway, this village is small, and it's easy to take care of you.

But when you were seven years old … "

"Lady Jiu, not seven years old, but eight years old. I just came here that year," a village woman corrected her.

"Oh, then you were eight years old. You fell ill and didn't know anyone. You even used a small bow and arrow to shoot people. Your mother was also seriously ill. Finally, she couldn't hold on and passed away."

"Then … My mother … Where is she buried?" Meng asked sadly.

"Of course it's behind the village. Over there, it's on that mountain ridge." Granny Nine said as she pointed at a mountain ridge.

"When I'm done, let Niuniu and the others accompany you.

When Granny Qiu was still alive, she often took you to pay respects. Alas, after your mother passed away, your illness worsened. You were like a different person. Granny Qiu was told by your mother to take care of you wholeheartedly. But … but when you were awake, you were as obedient as a kitten. When you were confused, you would hit her. You were a child, so you didn't know. Although you weren't strong, it was still very painful. Granny Qiu endured it. Alas, she took care of you until you were no different from when your mother was alive. "

Early in the morning, Granny Qiu couldn't stand the cold and went back to put on a cotton-padded jacket. Liu Shuan was thinking of using a dustpan to catch the sparrow, so he forgot about you. When Granny Qiu came back with a cotton-padded jacket, you were gone. We followed the tracks you left in the snow to the stream, but we couldn't find your footprints. At that time, Granny Qiu ran down the mountain along the stream like a crazy person. We followed her everywhere, but we couldn't find any trace of you … We didn't know where you went! "

"We went back to the village, but Granny Qiu didn't come back. We searched for four days and four nights without sleeping, but we still couldn't find any trace of you. We even went to the town in the east, but we couldn't find you. After we came back, Granny Qiu fell ill and couldn't recover. Within half a year, she died!"

Meng was already in tears. She cried and said, "Lady Jiu, I … I didn't know about this. When I woke up, I was already with my master. And … and it was already five years ago. It was at the ferry at the foot of the mountain in the distance. I … I even saw my junior brother … You … Why didn't you find that place?"

"Silly girl, we almost searched the entire mountain. Why didn't we find that ferry?

That … that cottage was built by us before!

But … But when we went there, there was no one there at all! "

"Meng, don't think so much. Lady Jiu is talking about what happened when you were nine years old, and you are talking about what happened when you were thirteen. There are four or five years in between. Maybe … Maybe you went somewhere else first, and then you were rescued by the Shitai Shitai. Don't forget, Lady Jiu said that you were delirious at that time, but when I met you, you were very clear-headed. In these four or five years, maybe something happened to you, and then you were taken to the ferry by the Shitai Shitai!"

Meng finally stopped crying and nodded slightly. "You're right. Fate makes fools of people. Things are often like this."

Seeing Meng sad, the village women next to her wiped their tears. After a while, Meng stood up and said, "Lady Jiu, I want to pay my respects to my mother and Granny Qiu."

"Yes, you should go. Your mother should pay her respects, and Granny Qiu should pay her respects even more. She was still talking about you when she died!"

Meng's eyes turned red again!

Under the guidance of Niuniu and some other children, Zhang Xiaohua and Meng came to the mountain ridge behind the village. There were more than ten graves on the mountain ridge. In the southernmost area, there were two inconspicuous ones. There were two wooden signs in front of them. One of the words could not be seen clearly, and the other one was also blurred. However, one could still vaguely see that it was "Grandma Qiu".

Niuniu said in a childish voice, "These two are Lady Aya and Granny Qiu. Every year when we came to pay our respects, grandma would always talk about them. I remember them very clearly!"

Hearing Niu Niu's words, Meng's tears couldn't help but fall like a broken string of pearls. Meng quickly walked to her mother's grave and knelt down. She kowtowed nine times and murmured, "Mother, I'm back. Forgive me for being unfilial. I didn't know that mother was buried here. I couldn't come to pay my respects to mother …"

Seeing the lush grass on the grave, Zhang Xiaohua sighed. She walked over and pulled up the grass one by one. Then, she asked Niuniu to bring a shovel from the village to add new soil on the grave.

Then, Meng cleaned up Granny Qiu's grave. After Meng finished paying her respects, she scratched her head. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to do. She couldn't kneel down and kowtow, could she?

So, she asked tentatively, "Meng, I …"

Meng heard Zhang Xiaohua calling her with tears in her eyes. She looked at her lover standing next to her, bit her lips, and said, "Thank you, Xiaohua. Mother … and Granny Qiu will be very happy if they know that you helped them repair their graves!"

Then, she looked down at the two inconspicuous graves and murmured, "Your son wants to be filial, but you are not here. Mother, your daughter … has grown up now. My illness … should be cured, but … you are not here!

You've left and taken away all of my memories. Even if I wanted to miss you, I couldn't!

Are you worried about your daughter? "

Meng's shoulders shook again, and she cried softly.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at her and did not know how to comfort her. After thinking for a while, she found a place to sit down. The children around her played for a while and found it boring. They all clamored to return to the village. Beside the desolate little graveyard, there was only the beautiful Meng, who was filled with endless melancholy. There was also Zhang Xiaohua, who wanted to comfort her but was powerless to do so.

The afternoon passed quickly. Lady Jiu and the other village women knew how Meng felt, so they didn't disturb her. They waited for the sky to turn dark, and several people came back from the other side of the village. They had bows and arrows on their backs, crude spears and podao in their hands, and some game on their shoulders.

These people came from the mountain ridge. They saw people on the graves from afar, so they quickened their steps. When they saw Meng, an older man shouted in surprise, "Ya … you … you are back?"

Then, he shouted behind him, "Sikong, Granny Qiu's Ya is back!"

"Ah, Xiao … Ya …" As he shouted, an old man jogged over from behind.

"It's really Ya. You … you are back. You don't know, Granny Qiu … Sigh, I complained so much. She only spoke to me when she was about to leave …"

Meng didn't know what to do when she saw Sikong's sincere smile and concerned tone. She looked at Zhang Xiaohua for help. She didn't have the spirit she had when she killed the bad guys on Dragon Mountain.

Zhang Xiaohua quickly stepped forward and cupped her hands. "Sikong, I am Ren Xiaoyao, Meng … oh, Ya's junior. Ya has lost all her memories. She doesn't recognize Sikong … or the other uncles and aunties in the village!"

"I know, I know."

Sikong nodded kindly. "Ya used to be like this too. I haven't seen her for a few years. She seems normal now. She will be fine in the future!"

"Yes, Sikong. She just doesn't remember the past. Everything else is fine!"

"Eh?

That's great. Which miracle doctor cured her?

This old man needs to thank him properly. "

Meng wasn't used to Sikong's unusual care for her. She said embarrassedly, "Sikong … are you … close to me?"

When a man beside her heard this, he smiled and said, "Little Ya, Fourth Master isn't very familiar with you, but … he's very familiar with Granny Qiu!"

Sikong's weathered face was a little embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's good that you are back. Ya, go back to the village. It's windy here. Don't get sick again. Otherwise, Granny Qiu will blame me again …"

Meng's eyes reddened again. She nodded and said, "Yes, Sikong."

Zhang Xiaohua and Meng returned to the small village with a few men who came back from hunting. Sikong pointed to a large wooden house in the north of the village and said, "Ya, this … is where you lived with your mother and Granny Qiu. Do you … remember?"
