Qin Weijie was trembling with fear on the way to the herbal medicine exam in the afternoon.
Aunt Katie's courses have always been very strict with him. As long as others can identify the medicinal properties of herbs, Qin Weijie's requirement is to study the basis of their properties, drug dosage, elemental reactions and alienation cultivation.
Senior students will definitely understand these things when told, but Aunt Katie just asked Qin Weijie to memorize these things. In the past two months, Qin Weijie's herbal medicine course has been living in dire straits.
I still don’t know what trouble Aunt Katie will make in today’s exam...
For the afternoon exam, Qin Weijie came to the herbal medicine greenhouse almost half an hour early. On the one hand, Qin Weijie came so early to show off in front of his aunt, and on the other hand, he looked for opportunities to avoid Elena's constant ridicule. .
Walking into the herbology greenhouse, the temperature in the greenhouse was a bit sultry, and the smell of grass and plants filled the entire greenhouse.
Qin Weijie sneaked into the teacher's lounge behind the greenhouse and held a big red apple with an attentive look on his face.
Walking into the lounge, Aunt Katie was sitting at the table with her back to Qin Weijie, not knowing what she was doing. Qin Weijie used Qinggong to lower his walking noise, and quietly came behind Aunt Katie, glancing at her furtively.
I saw Aunt Katie holding an exquisite photo frame. There was an old black and white photo in the photo frame. There were two little girls in the photo, one was slightly older, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the other was slightly younger. , looks only eleven or twelve years old.
The two little girls were holding hands. The younger girl seemed a little afraid of the camera. She timidly hid behind the other tall girl, only leaning out most of her body, looking at the camera lens with both curiosity and fear.
The older girl was looking back at the little girl with a doting smile on her face.
"This older girl looks a bit familiar..."
Qin Weijie thought to himself, then he patted Aunt Katie's shoulder as if to play a prank, and shouted loudly: "Aunt Katie! Good afternoon!"
"Ah~" Aunt Katie was startled, and screamed while dancing. The photo in her hand also fell to the table. After scrolling several times, it was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Qin Weijie grabbed the photo with quick eyes and hands: "Auntie, was this younger girl a child? You can see that she looks a bit similar...Auntie, who is the girl next to you? Is she your sister?"
Qin Weijie heard from Lao Welfare before that Aunt Katie had a sister who seemed to be a few years older than her. She followed her parents to go to school in the United States in her early years. After graduation, she heard that she was married to a wizard in the United States, so she settled in America.
"You bastard! You scared me to death!" My aunt glanced at Qin Weijie displeased, took the photo frame from Qin Weijie's hand, then pointed at the photo and hit Qin Weijie's head hard and said: "You bastard, even you Mom can’t even recognize her!?”
"Is this my mother? She was a little... well... a little boyish when she was little. I have only seen photos of mothers as adults. In the photos, she always looks gentle, elegant and knowledgeable. In this photo, she is smiling. The tooth flowers are almost flying out!" Qin Weijie stuck out his tongue.
The aunt pinched Qin Weijie's face in displeasure: "No matter how big or small! Sister Diana was quite naughty when she was little. Didn't you know that before?"
Only then did Qin Weijie see that Aunt Katie's eyes were a little red and her eyelashes were a little moist: "Aunt, are you crying? Do you miss my mother?"
"Hey, I always think of Sister Diana when I get back to school..." Aunt Katie quickly wiped her eyes again and turned around and said, "No more, no more! Hey, my sister has been... for twelve years..."
Seeing Aunt Katie like this, Qin Weijie also felt a little uncomfortable.
Recently, Qin Weijie had some feelings about the word mother, especially when he learned about his mother's death a few days ago, Qin Weijie was even heartbroken.
Suddenly, Qin Weijie suddenly remembered his aunt's excessive behavior when she mentioned his father when he first met her. At this time, Qin Weijie began to beat a drum in his heart: "Will my aunt also know..."
"Aunt, do you know the cause of my mother's death!?" Qin Weijie suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Aunt Katie.
"What? What do you know?"
Aunt Katie said, her eyes evasive. Qin Weijie captured this scene keenly and then continued to ask.
"Do you know the cause of my mother's death? Do you also know that it was my father...that person who killed her!?" Qin Weijie wanted to say his father, but for some reason he suddenly couldn't speak.
The image of his father seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him for a while. The hero he originally admired and admired, the righteous man who dared to save the country and the people, that majestic body collapsed overnight. Qin Weijie didn't know what he felt about his father at this time. What kind of emotion it is, I don’t even know how to face it.
Aunt Katie was silent at this time, her eyes were red, and tears could not stop flowing.
The answer was self-evident, she knew it, she had known it for a long time.
Qin Weijie also lowered his head at this time, staring blankly at his toes. At this time, Qin Weijie suddenly saw a plant next to Aunt Katie.
It is a pale yellow seven-leaf flower called 'Sunshine Sweet Orange'. The flower itself is very beautiful, and it also exudes a faint sweet orange fragrance. The fragrance can adhere to people's bodies. It is a pure natural perfume. Deeply loved by women.
It's a pity that this kind of flower is not only very rare, but also very delicate. People without certain maintenance and cultivation foundation can't keep it, which leads to its rarity rising again.
Qin Weijie noticed this because the fragrance of this flower was very familiar to Qin Weijie. He had come here often in the past two months, so it was understandable that he was familiar with it. But the scary thing was that this fragrance was the same as Qin Weijie's assailant on the night of the campus attack a few days ago. I've smelled it on my body.
Combined with the fact that Aunt Katie knew the cause of her mother's current death, a horrifying truth gradually emerged!
At this time, Aunt Katie had already taken out her wand when Qin Weijie was absent-minded, and her eyes towards Qin Weijie were no longer doting, but filled with endless hatred.
Qin Weijie was "unaware" of all this. Seeing that Aunt Katie was about to harm Qin Weijie, Qin Weijie spoke.
"Aunt, I can suddenly understand your rude behavior when I mentioned that person when we first met. If he really killed my mother, then he is indeed...inexcusable! He is indeed unworthy of being a husband. !”
As Qin Weijie spoke, he clenched his fists involuntarily and his body trembled involuntarily. It was obvious that he was extremely excited.
Seeing Qin Weijie like this, Aunt Katie was startled for a moment, and then the hatred in her eyes instantly dissipated, and she lowered her hand holding the wand, with pity and heartache faintly flashing in her bright eyes.
Immediately, the aunt hugged Qin Weijie into her arms without any explanation, and stroked Qin Weijie's head without saying a word. Qin Weijie could only hear unstoppable sobs in his ears.
