Chapter 234： :His mother

“I built a tomb for my mother nearby. I occasionally come here to see her, and sometimes I just rest here.”

Shen Yizhi was caught off guard.

“So, you brought me to see your mother?”

“Well, if mother were still alive, she would definitely like you very much.” Gu Xueting tilted his head and met her cheek to cheek.

“But I didn’t prepare anything…”

These words made Gu Xueting chuckle: "As long as you show up, the rest is not important."

Shen Yizhi was led by Gu Xueting and came to a **** behind the small building with a little anxiety.

A raised earth mound, covered with green grass and flowers, with a stone tablet standing in front of it, with two simple words written on it.

“In the tomb of Emperor Mingzhu, his son Gu Xueting stands.”

Emperor Pearl, Shen Yizhi felt that the name of this mother-in-law was so domineering.

No, why did she call her mother-in-law? Gu Xueting misled her.

Gu Xueting sat down in front of the tombstone, with a casual attitude, and said in a conversational tone: "Mom, I brought Zhizhi to see you."

He stretched out his hand towards Shen Yizhi, and when she came over, he pulled her into his arms with a little force, and made her sit in front of him. His arms were imaginary around her, so that she was completely surrounded by him.

"Say hello to mom." He whispered in her ear with a hint of coaxing.

Shen Yizhi blurted out: "Mother..."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she wanted to bite off her tongue. She kept calling her "mother". It was all Gu Xueting's fault for deliberately misleading her.

This scheming boy!

Gu Xueting laughed sullenly, like a feather, tickling her ears. Before she even noticed it, the ear shells had turned red, and the fine hairs on them seemed to be stained with embarrassment.

It was so cute that he wanted to bite it.

But thinking that this was in front of my mother’s tomb, I finally resisted.

When she couldn't help pinching him, his laughter finally stopped, but his voice was still full of laughter: "Mom likes you very much."

Shen Yizhi looked at him: "Where did you see it?"

Don’t say that this is just a tomb in front of you. Even if his mother is really lying in it, you can’t convey such a meaning to him, okay?

Gu Xueting said: "I know."

His knowledge is so good, how could his mother not like it?

If he knew his logic was like this, Shen Yizhi would definitely laugh.

After being teased by him, Shen Yizhi's nervousness eased a lot. Although she didn't know why she was nervous.

Gu Xueting continued to chat with his mother about home affairs, just like a son who returns from an outing and reports his experiences to his mother one by one.

Shen Yizhi was involved in the words from time to time, and gradually, she joined in.

“Mother likes Qing Bao very much.”

Shen Yizhi then deliberately talked more about Qing Bao.

The little flowers on the grave swayed gently in the wind, as if they were really listening to something.

At the back, the two people's voices gradually fell away, and the atmosphere became quiet.

A large piece of sunset appeared on the horizon, warm and brilliant, rolling up to the horizon in layers.

Shen Yizhi put all his weight on Gu Xueting behind him, leaned against him, and watched quietly.

 Night fell unknowingly, and the dark blue sky was as smooth as velvet, without a trace of wrinkles. It is dotted with diamond-like stars.

"The wind has picked up, go back." Gu Xueting said.

"Okay." Shen Yizhi stood up first, and this time it was her turn to pull him.

After getting up, he did not let go of her hand and kept holding it. The two of them walked slowly back to the small building.

Shen Yizhi couldn't help but ask: "What kind of person is your mother?"

Gu Xueting did not answer, but took her to the second floor of the small building.

This place is very empty, with almost no objects, only paintings hanging on the walls.

The paintings are all about the same woman.

Shen Yizhi guessed the woman's identity without asking - Gu Xueting's mother.

Just like her name - Di Mingyue, this is a woman as bright as the moon.

She looked at them one by one.

Gu Xueting followed her behind her hands, "My mother is a very childish person. She often snatched my toys to play with when she was a child."

Shen Yizhi never expected that he would hear such an opening.

Well, Gu Xueting successfully aroused her infinite curiosity.

"...When I was five years old, she suffered from a kind of amnesia. When she woke up in the morning, she suddenly couldn't remember what happened before. It wasn't very serious at first, she just forgot about the past few days. Later, she even couldn't remember what happened in the past few days. Everyone has forgotten. But she only remembers me.

"Once she got a cricket from somewhere and said she wanted to give it to Ting'er to play with, but she walked directly in front of me and kept calling Ting'er. At that time, all she remembered was two or three Me when I was young.”

Gu Xueting stood in front of a portrait with his back to Shen Yizhi. She couldn't see his expression, and his voice sounded dull.

However, the aura of silence lingering around him cannot deceive anyone.

Shen Yizhi hugged him from behind. At this time, she didn't know how to comfort him. She could only tell him silently, you still have me.

Gu Xueting put his hand on hers, and her skin felt a heart-warming warmth.

"One day, all the pear blossoms in the garden were in bloom. She recovered from her illness without any warning. She took me to the garden. She climbed up the tree and shook the branches vigorously, shaking all the pear blossoms off the branches. I Just looking at her under the tree, she was showered with pear petals. When she came down, she saw it and burst into laughter.

"Before going to bed at night, she made an agreement with me to go to the zoo tomorrow and catch the red-crowned crane and ride it. She said she used to have a white crane mount and often rode it around... The next morning, she didn't Get up. My father said to me, your mother was afraid that I would punish her, so she refused to get up. But from that day on, my mother never woke up again.

"When I grow a year or two older, I will know that my mother has actually passed away and will never take me around the garden again, nor will she fulfill the promises she made."

Shen Yizhi felt extremely distressed when he heard this, and turned to him, "I will accompany you to catch a crane as a mount from now on. Our family of three will ride on the crane to travel around the mountains and rivers, and enjoy the world at ease, okay?"

Gu Xueting held her hand covering his face and said, "Okay."

He led her to the window, sat directly on the floor, leaned against the railing, let her lie on his lap, gently stroked her silky hair, and continued to talk.

"When I was eight years old, the poison in my body broke out for the first time. It was the first time I lost control and my heart was completely filled with a violent emotion. When I woke up, I realized that I had... killed someone, and Gong People looked at me with fear, and they stayed away from me ever since.”

Shen Yizhi sat up suddenly, "Devil poison?" What's going on? He was actually poisoned? Why didn't she notice it? She had checked his pulse before.

She grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse again, but still found nothing.
