For more than half a month, the Duke and his wife have been worried every day. Only when facing their two children can they squeeze out a smile.
The people sent to inquire have not returned yet. They know that the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is impossible to go back and forth for more than a month.
"Mom, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that you all didn't want me. I was so afraid that it would all come true!"
Wei Shu hasn't gotten any better in the past half month or so, and her fair and tender face has quickly become thinner.
If not for anything else, it’s just that I can’t eat anything these days. I can’t eat anything. I can’t sleep at night. Every day when I wake up, my eyes are black and blue.
"Why would Shu'er think so? You are my baby, how could I not want you?"
The Duke's wife held Wei Shu in her arms distressedly. She knew that her attention had been diverted to those things these days and she had not noticed Wei Shu.
"Mom, I'm really scared."
Wei Shu's heart was beating very fast. She felt like she was frightened every day. The beautiful life she once had was suddenly broken!
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Your brother told me that you were frightened by that madman. You have been raised by us since you were a child. You have never seen such strange things. Please forget all these things." !”
The Duke's wife held Wei Shu tightly in distress, and all her attention was now on her little daughter.
She has raised the daughter in her arms to be this big day by day, so her feelings are naturally deep and cannot be broken off just yet.
Wei Shu didn't speak, she just closed her eyes tightly and felt the warmth of her mother's arms.
In fact, she heard all those words, and it was precisely because of what she heard that she didn't dare to open the door and go in. She didn't know what to do, but she felt keenly that she shouldn't pierce the window paper.
But she was really scared, really too scared. What if she really found her father's biological daughter?
God, please, please, don’t get it back, don’t get it back!
Perhaps Wei Shu's wish came true. When the people sent there came back more than half a month later, Wei Shu specially found an opportunity to secretly hide at the door of the study and listen.
"What did you say?"
The Duke and his wife asked in shock. Even though they had thought about thousands of outcomes for more than a month, they never thought it would be this!
"It's true. When I rushed to the village, I found that it was in ruins. People in the nearby village said that a mudslide suddenly occurred on the mountain and flooded the whole village. No one survived. !”
The servant answered truthfully, but he himself was also very confused. The master and his wife asked him to do something in a remote place. They said they wanted to ask if there were any children in the village who were adopted more than ten years ago?
But when he rushed there with his people, the place had long been in ruins. He went to the next village to ask people for details, but he didn't expect that it was a natural disaster that buried everyone!
"Just back off."
The Duke waved his hands in despair. After the others retreated, he couldn't hold on anymore and sat on the chair in despair.
The Duke's wife had been crying beside her for a long time. During this period, she had even thought in her heart that maybe the child had died long ago, and she was lucky enough to think that maybe he had been adopted.
But unexpectedly, it was because of a natural disaster that nothing happened!
"Madam, maybe this is God's will. The incident that happened just now was more than a month ago. If we had known about the search earlier, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been like this. I'm afraid we have no fate with our biological daughter!"
The Duke took a strong breath and walked forward, holding his wife in his arms, knowing that the pain in her heart was much greater than his own.
That was the child that Madam gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy. She had never enjoyed the love of her parents or relatives for a day. Now she died in an unknown way. I don’t know how she has lived for so many years. As long as I think about it, this heart is... It hurts like hell!
"Perhaps we really have no fate with that child, and we will never see each other again due to some strange combination of circumstances. We only hope that she can become our daughter in the next life, so that we can make up for it twice as much!"
The Duke's wife has obviously accepted her fate. Just cry, just think of it as the last cry for her daughter. After today, she will forget about this and regard Wei Shu as her biological daughter!
The Duke closed his eyes heavily, who could say otherwise, God was really cruel to them!
Only then did he realize that his biological daughter was suffering. He was about to send someone to find her and make up for it twice, but she didn't expect that it was...
Wei Shu was happily strolling in the garden. Just now, she secretly heard the report at the door of the study and left quickly. Suddenly, she felt that all the worries of the past few days were gone.
Her father and mother can no longer find their biological daughter. No biological daughter will threaten her status. She can always be the daughter of the country's kung fu, and she will always be doted on by her father, mother and brother!
Sure enough, God heard her prayers. She didn't ask for anything else. She just hoped that these happy days could continue, just like every day for so many years, and she didn't know what sorrow was.
"Why is my sister so happy? It seems that all my thoughts are of no use. You don't need me, just coax my sister to do it!"
Wei Zhao was holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand. He just went to his sister's house and saw no one, but he didn't expect to see him in the garden.
"Brother, what are you talking about? The worries in my heart are gone, and I naturally feel happy, as carefree as before!"
Wei Shu returned to her former innocent and cute look. She looked at the candied haws in the little waving hand, stepped forward and grabbed it, and just opened her mouth to bite one. It was indeed sour and sweet.
As sweet as she felt at the moment, there was nothing to worry about anymore.
"As long as my sister can be happy every day, if you have anything that worries you, just tell me and I will help you solve it!"
Wei Zhao smiled and touched Wei Shu's head. Seeing that his sister had returned to such a lively and lovely look, he felt very happy.
This girl always has some small thoughts of her own, and he won't keep asking until the end, as long as his sister can be happy.
"Um"
Wei Shu nodded vigorously, bit into a candied haws, and the sweet juice immediately filled her heart.
Everything has passed. Her father, mother, and brothers are still her relatives. She is still the rich daughter of Kung Fu. She will never have anything to worry about in the future!
From now on, her whole life will be smooth sailing, without a trace of sadness.
…
Winter turned to spring, and counting the days, Tao Yao and Lu Chen had lived in a small wooden house in the mountains for more than three months. They saw all kinds of flowers in the mountains blooming. It was so beautiful!
"Sister, this is a peach blossom for you!"
Lu Chen held a large bunch of peach blossoms and ran over to give them to Taoyao expectantly. He knew that his sister seemed to like peach blossoms the most. Now that the peach blossoms were in bloom, he climbed up the tree and picked a few of the most beautiful ones.
"They are blooming so beautifully. The vase in the house has been empty for a long time. I will put all these peach blossoms in the vase later so that I can see such beautiful flowers blooming all the time!"
Taoyao stretched out her hand and touched the petals carefully. She had to say that the flowers bloomed really well. She felt very happy after just one look at them!
"good!"
Lu Chen was so happy that his little eyes turned into crescent moons when he smiled. These past few months had been the happiest time in his life!
This small wooden house is full of his happy memories. He is happy every day without any sorrow.
Tao Yao led Lu Shen back to the cabin and carefully placed the peach blossoms in the vase one by one.
"It's really good!"
As a peach blossom essence, she is very picky, and there are not many flowers that can be praised.
After returning to the cabin, Lu Chen obediently picked up a pen and practiced calligraphy. He was familiar with it these days. He and his sister played happily together when they were outside, but he had to study seriously when he came back.
Seeing how well-behaved Lu Chen was, Taoyao nodded with satisfaction. Smart children are lovable!
When I opened the window and looked outside, I counted the days and it was indeed today that I would end up here. Now this day is almost over, why hasn't it come yet?
In fact, we could have let that strange old man die directly in the mountains, but if that were the case, it would be too easy for him!
The strange old man has tortured Lu Chen for so many years, and she wants to give everything back in full!
"You write well here, I'll go out to find some things, and I'll be back soon."
Taoyao decided to go out and see for herself, and drag that weird old man back no matter what!
"Um."
Lu Chen was a little worried. The sun was almost setting now. What else was her sister going to do?
But I also know that my sister is very powerful and will never be easily bullied, so I can relax and write my own words properly.
But just after I sat down and wrote for a while, I suddenly heard a loud sound coming from outside the house, as if someone fell into the water?
Could it be my sister?
Lu Chen put down his pen in a panic, opened the window and leaned out, looking at the creek outside. Unexpectedly, he saw a dark thing lying on the edge of the creek. It was really hard to see clearly.
Lu Chen shook his lips worriedly. No outsider had been in the mountains for such a long time.
There were only two of him and his sister. There were many changes at the moment, which made him feel a little uneasy, so he decided to go out and see what it was.
"Ouch!"
The strange old man touched his old waist, and it was throbbing with pain. He was already a long time old. If he didn't have anything to protect himself, I'm afraid he would really fall to death this time!
He turned over with great effort and found that he had fallen to the edge of a creek. He was being chased by his enemies at that time. He didn't want to die like this. He still had a lifelong wish to fulfill!
He found the opportunity to jump into a deep mountain. There were various trees on the mountain. As long as he could hang on the tree and not fall to death, it was fine. Unexpectedly, he was still thrown to the ground heavily.
He raised his head and looked left and right, and he saw that it was indeed a deep mountain and old forest, but it didn't matter, there were a lot of things in the mountain, and he could always find what he needed.
Suddenly, he keenly heard a little movement behind him. The strange old man quickly turned around, only to find that it was a child.
His eyes immediately lit up. This child is fair and tender, and is most suitable to be used as a test subject!
"Child, come and save grandpa. Grandpa's leg was injured. Kind-hearted child, come and save grandpa!"
The strange old man screamed in pain, watching the child's reaction while screaming.
Lu Chen was shocked by what he saw. It turned out that the black thing he saw was actually a living grandfather!
It's just that the black robe that the old man was wearing was too big and covered everyone when he fell. That's why he didn't see clearly at that time, but it was a person who fell down.
The old man looked very pitiful. If the old man fell, it would definitely be very serious. He screamed in pain just looking at it.
He walked forward a few steps, wanting to help the person up, but suddenly there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, so he stopped and stood there observing.
He always felt that the strange old man in front of him seemed a bit scary. How could he fall here for no reason? The strange old man was definitely not from the village, so who was he?
What if he rescued someone and put himself in danger? At this moment, he was confused and worried.
Lu Chen stopped, but the strange old man was so angry that this kind of child was the most disobedient. If he was caught, he would be tortured severely, and the most severe poison would be administered, and the child would have no orifices. The bleeding hurts into the bone marrow!
But at this moment, he fell quite hard, and his left foot couldn't move at all. It was broken, so he could only restrain his temper and squeeze out a stiff smile.
