But Mrs. Ruan, listening to Ge Shi crying to her about the unbearable past, couldn't help but think of something, and asked eagerly: "What does that amulet look like?"
Ge said: "Made of pure gold, with a seated Guanyin on the front and the child's birth date engraved on the back. There is also an inscription on it: Long life and wealth... What, Madam, have you seen that amulet?"
Mrs. Ruan shook her head and said, "No, I'm just asking casually. You go on."
Ge Shi said: "Li Ruiyun smiled with satisfaction. After he told me all the truth that I knew, he kindly asked my husband to take me down to rest.
"The moonlight was very bright that night. When my husband Zhu Jiu and I were drinking under the moonlight, I found that Zhu Jiu was very depressed. I asked him what was wrong, but he hesitated and couldn't answer.
"At this moment, two people came in, A Biao and Xiao Hei. They sneered and said, Brother Jiu, have you finished the farewell wine with your sister-in-law?
"I was just wondering when two people rushed up to me. Without any explanation, they picked me up and left. I yelled Zhu Jiu's name, but he was indifferent. At this time, Xiao Hei's fist struck, and I didn't know anything anymore. …”
"I don't know how long I was in a coma, and then the cold rain woke me up. I just felt pain like my whole body was falling apart, and my right foot was particularly painful, as if the muscles and bones were being torn apart; my face was in pain. It was also burning hot, and when I touched it, it was covered in blood. …
"When I found out that I was at the bottom of the cliff, I finally understood what had just happened: they knocked me unconscious and then pushed me off the cliff. Everyone thought that I was bound to die, but they didn't know Nature played another cruel joke on me."
"Although I didn't die, my face was disfigured and my right leg was disabled. I turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghost...
"Thinking that there is nothing in this world worthy of my nostalgia, I really wanted to find permanent relief with all the pain in my body and heart, but I finally survived. Since God has spared me a miserable life, let me If I survive a catastrophe, I must be given a chance to avenge myself and take revenge. Even if I die, I will have to wait until the injustice is redressed...
"I was afraid that they would come to look for my body again, so I struggled to leave here.
"I heard that in the whole world, only Lord Lu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment in the capital, Lu Wenzheng, is upright and selfless, and enforces the law impartially. He can be said to be the current Bao Qingtian alive, so I decided to beg all the way to the capital in order to redress my grievances to Lord Lu.
"Unfortunately, everyone in the world thinks I'm dirty, thinks I'm ugly, spurns me, and mocks me. In their eyes, I'm not even as good as a dog... I've tasted the harshness of the world and the indifference of the world, and I once fell into despair.
"I thought that the capital was still thousands of miles away, and I was afraid that I would die on the road before I could get there. The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became. I thought that if I fell this time, I would never get up again. , who would have expected to meet a kind-hearted person like Mrs. Ruan..."
By the end, she was crying.
Mrs. Ruan was stunned after hearing this. After a while, she came to her senses and exclaimed: "Poor, so pitiful..."
Ge Shi cried: "Don't say anything. Now I just ask the old lady for help. As long as the injustice can be redressed, even if it means death, I will rest in peace..."
Mrs. Ruan forced a smile, "Look, you said something stupid again..." She suddenly said to the door: "Who is sneaking there?"
At this time, I saw two little guys with big heads and big heads poking their heads in from outside the door. The two said timidly: "Grandma."
Mrs. Ruan said, "What are you two doing here?"
Damao said: "Mom doesn't worry about you at home, so let's take a look. Grandma, it's getting late, let's go home!"
Mrs. Ruan said feebly: "Okay." She stood up, but felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Da Mao hurriedly supported her and said, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Ruan said weakly: "It's nothing, let's go back."
She turned around again and saw Ge Shi's expectant eyes. She couldn't help but feel sad in her heart. She forced a smile and said: "Mrs. Du, you can rest here to recuperate for now, and I will tell Zhichao about this when I go back." Yes, I’ll pick you up.”
Ge Shi said with tears: "Mrs. Ruan, I leave everything to you. I'm waiting for your news..."
Mrs. Ruan didn’t know how she returned to Ying Chuanlin’s house. She was groggy along the way, and if it weren't for Da Mao Er Mao's care, she might have lost herself.
At this time, the only things that were beating in her mind were those chaotic and intermittent sentences:
"I took out his beloved young master..."
"Twenty years ago, on April 19th, the eleventh year of the Qingli calendar, in the west of the capital, in the elm forest area next to the ancient road, next to the shrub layer, there was the dark red unicorn birthmark on his left arm, and the one he was wearing with a child engraved on it. The amulet with the birth date and the jasper unicorn jade pendant hanging around his neck..."
coincide? This is of course no coincidence. Everything is absolutely true.
Moreover, she was the protagonist and her husband was absolutely indispensable in what happened that day.
At that time and place mentioned by Ge, she and her husband Ling Yuxiu came back from visiting celebrities. Passing by, they happened to find the unconscious three-year-old child in the bushes.
The child was lying quietly in the bushes, motionless and dying. The look was really heartbreaking.
Her husband, Ling Yuxiu, is a local celebrity and philanthropist, and both of them are well-known enthusiastic people. At the same time, I don’t know what the reason is. The couple is over forty and they still have no children. No children.
How could you not be moved by your heart when you see this cute, pretty and cute child?
Ling Yuxiu stretched out his hand to check his breathing. He found that the child was still breathing. He touched his chest and found that his heart was still beating weakly. He hurriedly picked up the child and ran to the village hospital.
Finally, thanks to God's blessing, with the timely treatment of the doctor at the medical center and the careful care of the couple, the child finally came back to life.
The couple finally breathed a sigh of relief. Later, the couple asked the child about his origins.
Because when they first met this child, they saw that he was luxuriously dressed and well-groomed. They guessed that this child must have an extraordinary background and must be the son of a wealthy family, so they were always worried.
However, this child experienced such a major shock and shock at such a young age, and almost lost his life. In short, due to various reasons, he completely lost his memory of things before the age of three.
Therefore, when the couple asked him about his origins, such as his name, where he lived, and what his parents did, the child could not remember anything. When they asked again, the child complained that he had a headache and cried. It's so noisy.
So the couple had no choice but not to ask. Later, they adopted the child and named him Ling Yun, with the courtesy name Zhichao.
Therefore, for so many years, they had not known Ling Yun's true life story until today when Mrs. Ruan met Ge.
She raised her head blankly, staring at the gloomy sky in a daze. How she hoped that none of this was true!
However, recalling every detail that Gurdjieff said, they all prove the true existence of these things!
The first thing that can prove the authenticity of all this is the dark red unicorn birthmark on the child's left arm that Gurdjieff said, because his son Ling Yun does have this birthmark on his left arm - it was from the moment the couple saw the child. There are some, I guess they were brought from the womb.
In addition, she clearly remembered what Ge said that the jasper unicorn jade pendant that the child often wore around his neck was taken away by Ge and later fell into the hands of the chief leader Li Ruiyun. Therefore, she had never seen this treasure before.
However, she has kept the amulet that Ge Shi mentioned was engraved with the birth date of her child until now, and no one knows this secret, including his son Ling Yun.
At that time, after they adopted the child, they discovered that the child was wearing a platinum-carved amulet with the words "long life and wealth" engraved on the back. The style and characteristics of this amulet were exactly the same as Gurdjieff's description.
From this point of view, Ling Yun is the long-lost son of the high-ranking official in the capital that Ge said!
If she and her son brought Ge Shi back to the capital, then reported the matter to Mr. Lu, and then found the high official to confront him, wouldn't everything come to light? Doesn’t his son know his life experience?
However, she vowed never to tell her son the truth in this life. Because she loves her son so much, especially after the death of her husband Ling Yuxiu, his son has become her only sustenance.
She has also seen many examples of adopted children being angry and even abusive towards their parents. Although she knew that her son was very filial and could not treat her like this, she would not tolerate it if his attitude towards her changed even slightly after he knew the truth of the matter.
Therefore, when Geshi said this, her heart was already in confusion. From now on, she would only consider whether she should talk to her son about it after returning home, and the following tragic story could not really move her...
As soon as she entered the house, Ling Yun was the first one to come out. He asked eagerly: "Mom, where have you been?"
Mrs. Ruan didn't answer, she just asked: "Oh, why did you come back so early?"
Ling Yun said: "Just now, my sister-in-law asked San Mao's nephew to deliver a message saying that you have been out for a long time and you haven't come back yet. I'm so anxious that I can't think of playing anymore?"
Mrs. Ruan was moved in her heart, and she said in a trembling voice: "Zhichao, is being a mother really that important in your heart?"
Ling Yun said curiously: "Hey, mother, why do you ask that? Mother's position in his son's heart is more important than Mount Tai."
Mrs. Ruan said: "Okay! In this case, you must promise me something."
Ling Yun said: "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Ruan said: "Get your car ready immediately and come back with me!"
Ling Yun was startled: "Go back? Where to go?"
Mrs. Ruan said: "Of course it's the capital."
Ling Yun was confused for a moment and said in surprise: "Go back to the capital? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Mrs. Ruan said impatiently: "I've had enough of staying here. I don't want to live here anymore, okay?"
After hearing this, Ms. Yu on the side said displeasedly: "Hey, what are you talking about? Could it be that we..." Before he could finish speaking, Ying Chuanlin pulled him and stopped talking.
Mrs. Ruan said coldly: "What, you don't even want to listen to what mother said?"
Although Ling Yun was confused and a little unwilling, he saw that his mother's face was ashen, so he did not dare to say anything, so he could only say: "My child doesn't dare, I will do whatever my mother says. My child will go pack things now."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ruan's solemn expression softened a little. Ling Yun turned around and left.
When Mrs. Ruan saw that Ling Yun had left, she responded to Chuanlin and his wife and said, "My words just now were very offensive. Please forgive me."
Ying Chuanlin smiled and said: "It's nothing, the old lady is too polite."
Mrs. Yu spoke quickly: "Old madam, what happened that made you so anxious to leave?..."
Before he finished speaking, Ying Chuanlin pulled him and stopped him. When others have something to hide, you would be smart if you knew the current situation and didn't dig into the matter.
Mrs. Ruan said: "There is one more thing. If someone comes to see me in the past two days, please tell her and let her go back. There is no need to waste any more time. I will no longer care about her affairs."
Yu Shi wondered: "What is so mysterious..." Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Ying Chuanlin again. Ying Chuanlin smiled and said, "Okay."
After a while, Ling Yun found a comfortable and beautiful carriage and came back. Mrs. Ruan said goodbye to Ying Chuanlin and his wife and got into the carriage.
Ling Yun and his senior brother were also reluctant to leave. It had only been more than two days since arriving at Ying's house. The brothers had to leave in a hurry before they had time to speak freely or enjoy a pleasant tour of the mountains and rivers.
Ling Yun cupped his hands at Ying Chuanlin and said, "Senior brother, we will meet again later. If you have time, come to the capital to see me."
Ying Chuanlin said with a smile: "Okay."
Mrs. Ruan left in a hurry, but Ge Shi, who was staying in Mr. Liu's hospital, was still waiting eagerly, waiting for Mrs. Ruan to pick her up.
This is really a great irony for Gerard or Mrs. Ruan.
One day and two days passed without any movement. Ge Shi became a little anxious. In the past two days, she had thought about going to Ying's house to find out what was going on, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally held back.
She thought: Since she is asked to wait, she will definitely come. He came to the door rashly, obviously he didn't believe him. Besides, Ling Yun has been traveling these days and may not be back yet! …
Later, her medical expenses and rent paid by Mrs. Ruan were all used up. Mr. Liu had come to chase her out, and she really couldn't wait any longer, so she had no choice but to leave the hospital and go straight to Ying's house.
Ying Chuanlin went out to work, and only Yu was at home. Mrs. Yu was sweeping the floor when she suddenly saw a lame old woman in her forties walking in. She couldn't help but be startled: "You are..."
She looked at the other person, and the two scars on the other person's face were so obvious that Yu immediately recognized her, with a surprised look on her face.
Ge Shi didn't care at all. She was used to other people's strange looks. She just asked: "Excuse me, is Mrs. Ruan here?"
Mrs. Yu suddenly remembered the words Mrs. Ruan left before leaving, and asked, "What do you want to see her for?"
Ge said, "I can only tell you this after I meet her."
Mrs. Yu said: "Unfortunately, Mrs. Ruan has left."
Ge Shi could hardly believe his ears, "What?..."
Looking at the shocked look on her face, Ms. Yu sighed, "She asked me to bring you a message before she left, so that you don't have to wait for her anymore, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. She won't care about your affairs. .”
Geshi stayed there, speechless for a long time. How can this be? Mrs. Ruan obviously promised her personally! How could he suddenly change his mind? ... She felt her mind went blank.
Mrs. Yu said, "Do you have anything else to do?"
The meaning is to drive her away. Ge turned around numbly and walked toward the door step by step.
She suddenly understood why the other party didn't help her, because Mrs. Ruan was also afraid of power!
Who is she going to sue? It was He Yuting, the prince-in-law of the current dynasty, and the terrifying Tianxiao organization—these two big bosses, no matter who they were, would be in danger of being killed if they were not careful.
In the whole world, there may be people who can benefit the world by plucking a hair, but there will not be people who would endanger their wealth and life to help others. Among them are Mrs. Ruan, Ling Yun, Lu Wenzheng...
After figuring it out, she felt her heart suddenly become brighter. Now she doesn't blame anyone. She only blames her life for being too miserable and herself for being stupid.
Gradually, her vision became blurry, her throat felt hot, and she choked on a mouthful of blood. …
