chasing autumn

"Take me back to the capital!"

Looking at the hunchback, Qiuniang said in a commanding tone.

"Ma'am... the general means..."

"Is he afraid that I will affect his career? So lock me up!"

"...The general said that the one who can get out of this secret room is the real Qiuniang..."

"If he can't get out, is he going to kill me?"

"Ma'am..." The hunchback showed distress, but then he thought, if this is the real Qiuniang, then who is the one buried under the tree, "The old slave doesn't understand, Madam died in Zhaojia Village [-] years ago Is it? Is it true that there are immortals in this world who can dig out corpses from under trees and give them life?"

Qiuniang was shocked when she heard this, and asked, "What did you say?... What corpse?"

General's House.

Qiuniang dug out a jar of wine from under the old plum tree. She sat on the ground in a daze holding the jar, her thoughts went back to the past, tears welled up in her eyes, "This is the number one wine that I brewed for the child who was about to be born. Red, or Nurhong... Unexpectedly, Zhan Hao also buried it together..."

Seeing this, the hunchback hurriedly helped her sit down on the wicker chair next to her, and said, "Ma'am, let me do it!"

After a while, the deeply buried sarcophagus gradually appeared. The hunchback reached out to gently brush the dust off the coffin, gritted his teeth, and pushed away the heavy coffin lid.

Qiuniang stared fixedly at the white skeleton in the coffin, "Who is this... You said she looks exactly like me?..." Qiuniang was talking, when suddenly her eyes were caught by a cyan-colored man under the bone. Attracted by the ornament, "This is... this ornament..."

"Ma'am...do you know this pendant?"

"You said this corpse came from Zhaojia Village?"

"Yes, the general found it there after the massacre of the village, so the general thought that madam had been... madam!" Before the hunchback could finish speaking, Qiuniang had already rushed out of the door and ran straight to Zhaojiacun.

It's like I've been looking for it all my life. The word "hometown" is too precious and far away for Qiuniang...

Back then, she had braved all kinds of difficulties and dangers to escape from the captivity of the Liao people. However, when all the hustle and bustle gradually subsided with the sunset, when she saw the bustling crowd on the street rushing home , when she didn't want to delay for a moment, she realized that the world is boundless, but life is boundless. It is so difficult for a person without memory to find a way home... But now that she has found it, it means There is an eternal gap between heaven and man, but what caused all of this is...but...

"I should have thought of someone who looks like me... It turns out that I should have died here...Father, mother, sister... I should have died with you!"

"lady……"

"...hunchback, I now... want to be alone..."

"Huo Lian, what's wrong with you, you've been sitting for a long time..."

"Do not ask."

"Fire lotus..."

"If you want, just stay with me, don't ask anything else, don't ask anything... I don't want you to be uncomfortable with me..."

"But seeing you like this makes me feel even more uncomfortable... Can you tell me? I want to know, I want to share with you..."

Because of my words, the entire Du family was wiped out, even the youngest son of Chui Mao... It was the death order issued by my father, it was my father...

Even if you know, you can't bear it...Xiao Li...
