After the hero goes crazy
Chapter 366 Finding the Key
Chapter 366 Finding the Key
"This, how is this possible..."
When Yao Wanning heard her sister's bold speech, she subconsciously shook her head in denial.
"I, after all, there is a time difference of 700 years between me and him..." Taizu was born 700 years ago, and she met the 'River God' 700 years later, how could the child in her womb be 700 years ago? Descendants of 'him'?
Yao Wanning felt dizzy just thinking about it. Although she didn't want to doubt her sister, but the matter was too magical, she still hugged her stomach and murmured:
"This, this is impossible—"
"How is it impossible?" Yao Shouning pouted his lower lip, leaned forward, and reached out to touch his sister's stomach.
Yao Wanning subconsciously removed the hand protecting her belly, and let her sister's palm stick to her.
She is still young, so she can't feel any movement when she touches it, but the moment Yao Shouning's palm is pressed to her sister's belly through the thin clothes, the warm and soft touch enters her palm, and a feeling of pain suddenly arises in her heart. An inexplicable sour feeling.
For this 'marriage', Yao Shouning actually had a heart-to-heart knot.
From her point of view, the 'marriage' between the 'River God' and his sister was simply unequal.
Leaving aside the fact that the "River God" is just a demon now, the relationship with Yao Wanning was half-forced and half-deceived. Even if the "River God" was the founder of the country, even if the person who met Yao Wanning in his dream may have been 700 years old Zhu Shizhen, who was in the prime of life before—but the age and age difference between the two of them was huge, and she still felt awkward.
It's a pity that Yao Wanning seems to have deep roots in love, but she fell in love because of marriage, so Yao Shouning is naturally inconvenient to say more.
Although she had a grudge against the 'River God', when she touched her sister's stomach, the feeling was completely different.
Yao Shouning originally thought that his feelings for Yao Wanning's child should be complicated and at a loss, but it is natural to be close by blood. When the two sisters got close, all the anxiety and worries disappeared. Instead, they were moved. with tenderness.
This is the child that my sister wants to protect wholeheartedly, and it is the hope that she nurtures with flesh and blood and tenderness.
In front of her, a baby with its limbs curled up kicked its legs, as if it had changed a comfortable position, and rubbed against her palm.
A baby's laughter sounded in Yao Shouning's mind, and the feeling of intimacy, happiness and curiosity was conveyed from his palm, and Yao Shouning's heart softened instantly.
"The dream wedding can become a reality, you can conceive flesh and blood, what is impossible?"
She touched her sister's belly, and for some reason, her eyes were slightly moist.
"Actually, there's one thing I didn't tell you."
Yao Shouning paused, then whispered:
"The day my son and I explored the king's tomb, we entered the underground dragon vein—" She said this, took a breath, and tried her best to calm down her inner emotions:
"I seem to hear the child's laughter and see a child's shadow."
Yao Wanning bit her lower lip and didn't make a sound.
From her younger sister's words, she could hear Yao Shouning's emotional ups and downs, and she could also tell that her younger sister had accepted the fact that she was pregnant.
She was undoubtedly relieved that the secret she had kept for a long time was easily accepted by her closest family members.
She was also moved by Yao Shouning's support for her, but she still felt that what Yao Shouning said was too unbelievable.
"Although I don't have any evidence, I always feel that the shadow may be this child." Yao Shouning said softly.
It was a very quiet night.
At this time, the Yao family was almost out for a night out. In the huge room, only the two sisters approached and whispered softly. The scene was indescribably warm.
"When I entered King Qi's tomb, I always had an inexplicable feeling." Yao Shouning pursed his lips and said:
"When I entered King Qi's tomb, the son mentioned that it was the son of Emperor Tianyuan who died young—" She paused for a moment as she thought of the scene at that time, and then continued:
"At that time, when I thought of Emperor Tianyuan, I felt a little uncomfortable for some reason."
'Bang bang bang——' Yao Wanning's heart started beating wildly when she heard this.
She knows that her younger sister has a special bloodline and is extremely capable of predicting certain things. Since she said so...
"You mean, Emperor Tianyuan is—"
"Sister, Emperor Tianyuan is the son of Taizu." Yao Shouning looked at her and said softly:
"I suspect that he is..."
She didn't say what she said later, but Yao Wanning was so upset that she kept shaking her head.
"How is this possible? How is it possible..." She spoke incoherently, and for a moment she didn't know what she was feeling.
Yao Wanning had been ill for many years, and had also been familiar with history books, so she naturally knew the life and past of Emperor Tianyuan, and knew that he ascended the throne at a young age, but she suffered the pain of the early death of her eldest son.
"My child, how could it be him?"
She subconsciously denied it, she didn't want her son to have such a life in the future, and was about to say that Emperor Tianyuan's biological mother was someone else...
But when she thought about it again, she was horrified to find that she couldn't remember all the history books she had read in the past. When she opened her mouth, she couldn't tell who the biological mother of Emperor Tianyuan was.
When she recited the word 'Tianyuan' again, she felt more and more intimate, and actually felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Emperor Tianyuan is her son!
This thought flooded Yao Wanning's mind, and her eyes turned red.
"If, if he is my child, then between us, between us..."
After 700 years, she gave birth to a child 700 years ago, how could this child go back to 700 years ago?
She grabbed Yao Shouning's hand and hurriedly said:
"Shou Ning, if what you said is true, my son should go back to 700 years ago to continue his life, otherwise, will history be messed up?"
She married the 'River God' in a dream, which has disrupted history and changed many situations.
In today's history books, Taizu Zhu Shizhen never married a wife in his life, which means that he had no wife or children 700 years ago. If so, would the Daqing Dynasty want to change the inheritance?
"Once history changes, will we, will we still exist?"
If the second generation king of the Daqing Dynasty is no longer Emperor Tianyuan, history will take a turning point from here. After 700 years, this change will be extremely terrible. Maybe Liu Bingzhou is no longer a great Confucian, or Liu's family may not marry Yao Hui and have two daughters and one son.
Without Yao Wanning, there would be no more engagements between her and the 'River God'...
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and she felt a sense of fear in her heart. She felt that her stomach was tightening up and down, and she even felt a faint pain.
"Don't panic."
Yao Shouning's palm was held extremely tightly by her elder sister, she reluctantly comforted her softly:
"There will be a way."
By now, Chen Taiwei already knew the secret that she was the descendant of the Bianji clan, so she no longer concealed some things from her sister.
"Maybe I have a solution for this matter."
"What way?" Yao Wanning was concerned, but she was confused. Although she knew that it was useless to panic, she still couldn't control her thoughts.
"If you give birth to a child, I will send the child away for you!"
Facing his sister's flustered and helpless expression, Yao Shouning blurted out the thoughts in his heart on impulse.
"Send, send away?"
Yao Wanning was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Why, how to send it away?"
Yao Shouning said such things at first, purely controlled by her emotions, but at this moment when faced with her sister's questioning, she gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it, she found that this matter might not be unsolvable.
"you listen to me."
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she held her sister's hand instead:
"I can travel through the barrier of time."
"What does this mean?" Yao Wanning asked in a daze, confused:
"Shouning, I don't understand."
"Sister, I can walk in time." Yao Shouning explained, but after she finished speaking, seeing that Yao Wanning still half understood, she quickly added:
"That day in Dai Wang's underground palace, the catacombs were blocked by broken dragon stones, and my son and I were blocked out." If the tomb door was forcibly broken open, there would be noises, attracting soldiers guarding the tomb.
Yao Wanning understood this matter, although she didn't know why her younger sister brought it up suddenly, she still suppressed her panic and nodded.
"In the future, I will take my son, travel through time and space, and go back to the time when the king was buried 400 years ago!" When she talked about the past, she was a little excited:
"We followed the funeral procession and successfully entered the tomb."
Because of the time loophole, the two of them did not destroy the tomb door. This was also the first time she traveled through time and space.
And later, in order to kill the evil spirit gathered by the snake spirit, she sent the son back to many years ago several times, which also proves from another aspect that she has the ability to send others back 700 years ago.
When she said this, Yao Wanning immediately understood what she meant.
"You mean, you can, can send my child back to 700 years ago, to, to your brother-in-law?!" Yao Wanning opened her almond-shaped eyes and whispered in disbelief.
"..." The two sisters talked about their children. Although Yao Shouning felt that the word 'brother-in-law' was really awkward, she still forced herself to subconsciously ignore this feeling and nodded.
"I remembered the night of my birthday, when we were chatting, we mentioned children, do you remember?"
"Of course I remember!" Yao Wanning nodded vigorously.
That night was a turning point in her life, making her feel for the first time that the child in her womb was a piece of flesh and blood, not a demon.
She kept in mind what happened that day, and remembered every detail clearly.
"That night, when I was chatting with you, I suddenly seemed to have a dream..." She pushed the illusion she saw to 'dream'.
Yao Wanning recalled the scene that day, and indeed remembered that her sister was rude for a short time, and when she asked her later, she said that she seemed to be in a dream.
"You dreamed of a man..."
The two of them had this kind of dialogue before, but when it was mentioned again, Yao Wanning's mood was very different from that day.
After learning more information, she went back and thought about it, and she had already guessed many things.
"Yes." Yao Shouning nodded and replied:
"I dreamed that I carried a child and delivered it to a man." Her voice sounded softly in the room:
"And he took the child and said something—"
The two sisters looked at each other and said in unison:
"There have been successors since the Daqing Dynasty!"
As soon as these words were said, goose bumps arose on Yao Wanning's body.
She suddenly had an indescribable emotion.
After learning that she was pregnant, she was afraid and ashamed at first, but when she found out that she was pregnant with a mortal child, she began to worry about the future of the child.
I am afraid that his life experience will be revealed, and that the world will not tolerate him.
But now Yao Shouning's words made her feel a big stone fall to the ground, as if months of anxiety had dissipated, and she was finally relieved.
"If that's the case, that would be great—" she murmured with tears in her eyes, and then seemed to think of something, her body shook:
"But Shouning, will this hurt you?"
She looked at her sister and asked a little timidly.
"It should be—it's not a big problem."
Yao Shouning hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
The eldest princess once reminded her that history cannot be changed, and changing history will bring about many changes.
But now history has changed. Although what she said to Yao Wanning tonight was guesswork, there were already signs of omens.
She looked up at the shadow of the baby on the shoulder of the 'River God', and the baby was also looking at her from the other side, making a 'giggle' innocent laugh.
This is my sister's child, my sister's blood!
Her heart became more and more determined:
"I can definitely do it, I can definitely send him back!"
"Yes, but how do you want to send it?" Seeing that she was determined, Yao Wanning forced herself to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and asked.
"I don't know yet." Speaking of this question, Yao Shouning was also a little uncertain.
She stood up suddenly:
"I'll ask my grandfather."
"what?"
Yao Wanning sat up and reached out to pull her.
"Grandfather must know how to do it." After Yao Shouning said this, he saw the panic and fear on his sister's face, and after a little thought, he guessed what she was thinking at this time.
She was pregnant, and she must have felt panicked and ashamed at first, so she dared not tell her parents.
After hiding it for a long time, it turned into shame, and I didn't know how to speak.
Thinking of this, she moved in her heart and said:
"Sister, don't worry, I suspect that your grandfather may have known about your pregnancy."
"What..." Yao Wanning whispered, but she didn't feel surprised in her heart.
"My grandfather participated in the 'Yingtian Bookstore' back then. This bookstore was held by a senior of our family."
The sigh of 'Mr. Kongshan' appeared in Yao Shouning's mind, she shook her head and concentrated her mind:
"This senior knows the past and the future, and my grandfather may have known about the present."
She hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly:
"My ability is currently incomplete, and I haven't found my teacher and obtained a complete inheritance."
If she wanted to send Yao Wanning's child back 700 years, she had to find her own teacher before that.
"I always feel that my grandfather is the key opportunity to lead me to find my teacher."
"Is there any danger?" Yao Wanning looked at her sister with tears in her eyes and asked guiltily.
She knew that her willful behavior made her younger sister run and worry about her.
"No, it's not dangerous." Yao Shouning shook his head, but he thought of Chen Taiwei who had met once tonight.
He had an appointment with Zhang Raozhi back then, even if he found the descendant of the Bianji clan, he would never kill her before she got the inheritance.
——This is also the reason why he was only intimidating but didn't really use his ultimate move when we met several times before.
Once Yao Shouning obtained the inheritance, the agreement between Chen Taiwei and Zhang Raozhi would naturally be shattered, and Yao Shouning's real crisis would be at that time.
But in front of Yao Wanning, how could she have the heart to say it to make her sister worry?
"Don't worry, it's alright."
She endured the uneasiness in her heart, shook her head, and comforted her sister:
"Don't think too much, take good care of your body, I don't want you to have an accident, and I won't let you have an accident..."
"But I..." Yao Wanning was a little sad, she was about to speak, Yao Shouning fixedly looked at her:
"You'll be fine. Parents don't have white-haired people to kill black-haired people."
After finishing speaking, Yao Shouning added:
"This is the result of a divination by a strange Taoist, and it is very credible."
When Yao Wanning heard this, she felt certain in her heart.
She nodded and said softly:
"I listen to you."
Yao Shouning smiled:
"I'm going to find my grandfather, you have a good rest." After she finished speaking, she stood up and turned her back to her sister.
The moment he turned around, the smile on Yao Shouning's face quickly collapsed.
Although Chen Taiwei said that the Lius and his wife did not lose their daughter, his hexagrams showed that his parents had only one son and one daughter. In other words, the Yao family would eventually lose Yao Wanning.
She endured the uneasiness in her heart, stepped out of the room quickly, and went to the wing where her grandfather lived temporarily.
The moon is shining brightly tonight, and the sky is full of stars. It can be seen that tomorrow will be a fine and sunny day.
Liu Bingzhou's room was lit, and the dim light shone through the window paper. She stood in the courtyard, feeling very confused.
In front of Yao Wanning, she naturally couldn't show any signs of decadence, so she acted confidently to reassure her sister.
But when she was alone at this time, all the pressure fell on her, which made her feel very tired.
"Shou Ning."
She was only in a daze for a while, when suddenly her grandfather's voice came from inside the room.
"Huh?" She responded subconsciously with a feeling of loss, and then said in surprise:
"Grandfather, how do you know it's me?"
I saw the reflection on the window standing up, unusually tall, giving people a strong sense of security.
Not long after, the shadow disappeared, and then the closed door of the wing room was pulled open with a 'creak' sound. Under the light, Liu Bingzhou's figure stood at the door of the house, with his hands still on the two doors, looking at her with a smile:
"Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
"Grandfather, tonight I..."
She hesitated to speak, but when she remembered her sister was pregnant, she burst into tears:
"I'm a little scared of doing the wrong thing."
When she learned the secret of Yao Wanning's pregnancy, it was equivalent to bearing a certain amount of pressure for her sister in disguise.
Although I discussed with my sister that this child might be sent back to the past, how should I explain this in front of my parents?
Also, Yao Wanning's ending is unknown. If Liu knew that everything started from her, she would lose this daughter who has always been regarded as the jewel in her palm, how sad would she be?
Yao Shouning wanted to protect his family, but how could he hide this kind of thing?
Liu Bingzhou looked at her tenderly.
There was tolerance and pity in his eyes, as if he could clearly see all the hesitation in this granddaughter's heart.
"Don't worry, speak slowly."
He beckoned to the girl, and Yao Shouning walked towards him slowly as if he had found a backbone:
"Grandfather, it's like this..."
The grandparents and grandchildren entered the room, and there was only a pot of tea and two cups filled with tea on the table in the room.
The tea in the cup is still hot, and the mist slowly rises, filling the room with the fragrance of tea.
Liu Bingzhou obviously knew that she was coming tonight and had already made preparations.
Her uneasy heart suddenly settled down, and she told the whole story of what happened tonight.
Yao Wanning's pregnancy didn't bother and surprise Liu Bingzhou, he looked calm, as if he knew it a long time ago.
For Yao Shouning, Liu Bingzhou at this time was like a magic needle for calming the sea. She suddenly gained confidence and said bluntly:
"Grandfather, I want to ask you to lead the way and lead me to my teacher."
Liu Bingzhou was not surprised by her request, but looked up at her. Her almond eyes were slightly swollen, but she looked at the elder very seriously, and said firmly:
"I want to obtain the inheritance and protect my sister. I promised her that when she gives birth in the future, I will safely send her child back to the past, hand it over, and hand it over to 'him'."
Although the face of the girl in front of him was still immature, her eyes and demeanor overlapped with the little friend in his memory.
Through the tea mist in front of Liu Bingzhou, his memory went back to the past——
That year he was young and full of vigor, he already had a good wife at home and a daughter under his knees, he worshiped the great Confucianist Zhang Raozhi as his teacher, and when he was about to flex his muscles, a meeting at Yingtian Bookstore changed his life.
He was stunned for a moment, his eyes were moist, and he blinked, all the memories were pressed in his heart, he looked at the tearful girl in front of him, and nodded:
"It should be about this time."
He collected himself and stood up suddenly:
"Shou Ning'er, come with me."
Yao Shouning's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He thought he was going to tell him to find 'Mr. Kong Shan', so he hurriedly agreed and went out with him.
The courtyard was very quiet, only the gentle breeze, Liu Bingzhou said:
"I can't show you the way to find a teacher," Yao Shouning looked disappointed when he heard this, but before she could speak, Liu Bingzhou said again:
"But I can give you an opportunity to guide you."
"What opportunity?" Yao Shouning pursed his lips and asked.
Liu Bingzhou said with a smile:
"Tonight, what you are looking for is a hope."
The girl didn't understand, and nodded obediently.
"I also want to find a hope." Liu Bingzhou said warmly.
"Grandfather, I don't understand..." Yao Shouning murmured, and Liu Bingzhou subconsciously stroked the top of his head.
In his hair, the hairpin is the wooden branch, the branches are stretched, and a few young leaves are gently swaying with the night wind.
No matter how many times he watched this scene, Yao Shouning felt it was very miraculous.
That day when Liu Bingzhou stepped into Yao's house, he carried this stick as a hairpin. She asked other people, but no one in the family could see the magic of the branch above Liu Bingzhou's head.
She secretly asked Liu Shi behind, but Liu Shi only knew she didn't know.
It is said that Liu Bingzhou in her memory has been wearing this wooden branch since she can remember things, she doesn't know the origin, but only knows that he has never changed it for decades, Liu is also very surprised by this.
When Yao Shouning saw Liu Bingzhou's movements, he felt curious.
But she still kept the business in mind, so she suppressed her own nature and suppressed the slightest thought of asking about the origin of the wooden branch.
"Grandfather..." Seeing Liu Bingzhou lost his mind while stroking the wooden branch, she was about to call him out, but she saw that Liu Bingzhou had already put down his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at her with a smile:
"Shouning, find a root and branch for me."
"Ah?" His request was beyond Yao Shouning's expectation. She was stunned, unable to react for a while.
"In this room, outside, or anywhere, break a branch for me." Liu Bingzhou thought that she didn't understand his request, so he said again.
This time he spoke in great detail, and Yao Shouning understood it immediately.
"Okay." She nodded in agreement, but asked hesitantly:
"But grandfather, I don't understand..."
"I don't quite understand some things, we need to try." Liu Bingzhou said.
Yao Shouning was puzzled, but she trusted Liu Bingzhou very much, so she nodded upon hearing this.
Yao's house is not big, but before the catastrophe, some flowers and trees were planted in the house, and there were outside this wing—it's a pity that the two heavy rains and one flood in the past six months made the flowers and trees planted in the house very large. Some are dead.
Later, after the flood subsided, Mrs. Liu felt that the house was run down and deserted, so she asked Zheng Shi to transplant some more flowering trees. It wasn't long before, and these flowering trees seemed a little wilted.
Under Liu Bingzhou's gaze, Yao Shouning walked to the corner of the courtyard and saw an unknown small tree. Following Liu Bingzhou's request, he broke off a branch, turned around and handed it to him:
"Grandfather—"
That branch was as thick as her pinky finger, with yellow-green leaves and a slight coolness.
Liu Bingzhou took it with his hand, looked at it for a moment, finally sighed silently, nodded and smiled:
"very good."
Although he said this, Yao Shouning always felt that his grandfather's tone seemed a little disappointed.
A thought came to her mind: what her grandfather wanted was not the branch she had broken off.
As soon as this idea came out, Yao Shouning was in a dilemma.
Liu Bingzhou wants a wooden branch!
But which stick in this room is he looking for?He said that it doesn't matter whether it is at home or outside the house. The scope is not small, and there are thousands of branches. My grandfather only said that he wanted it, but he didn't mention the name, appearance, and thickness of the branches.
Her mind was distracted for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she thought again: The prince should be left behind tonight.
It is better for the two of them to search together than for her to search alone.
The son has martial arts, so he can use his sword to cut, so the search will be much faster.
Feeling regretful in her heart, Liu Bingzhou replied:
"Shouning, you fold another one."
"Grandfather, do you want me to break a branch you want?" Yao Shouning asked.
"Yes!" Liu Bingzhou nodded and smiled.
"Then what do you want? What kind of tree? Or what kind of flower? Is there any requirement for the name, branch size and thickness?" Yao Shouning asked again.
"I don't know." Liu Bingzhou shook his head with a smile, and looked at her gently:
"I just know that I want a branch that you gave me. I don't care whether the branch is a flower or a tree, or what species it is, but it needs to be what I want."
When he said this, Yao Shouning immediately showed a troubled expression:
"Grandfather, you don't even know what you want, so I just bought it. How do you know?"
"Buddhism pays attention to fate." Liu Bingzhou said seriously:
"I don't know what kind of branch I want right now, but when you get the right one, we'll know."
When he said this, Yao Shouning had no choice but to nod:
"Ok."
She came here tonight because she wanted to discuss with her grandfather about her sister's pregnancy, and also wanted to ask him how to contact Mr. Kong Shan.
But Liu Bingzhou wanted to find that special branch first, so she had no choice but to suppress her anxiety, and subconsciously looked up at the top of Liu Bingzhou's head.
She always felt that her grandfather was not aimless in making such a request. Maybe the wooden branch he wanted was similar to the one he wore on his head.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bingzhou was very happy, thinking that this granddaughter is really smart.
Encouraged by his gaze, Yao Shouning's spirits lifted.
After she has a target, she is not as at a loss when looking for it as before, but consciously looks for branches of similar shape and size.
She was still eager to complete the task at first, and then went on to discuss Yao Wanning's matter.
But later, no matter how earnestly she searched for the broken branches, when she brought them to Liu Bingzhou, he still got a response of shaking his head:
"Not this one."
The grandfather and grandson had already walked out of the original courtyard, and unknowingly came to the main courtyard where the Liu family lived.
As time passed bit by bit, Yao Shouning couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Liu Bingzhou already held a handful of branches she had broken off in his hand, and he almost couldn't hold it steady.
She vaguely seemed to hear the sound of carriage wheels outside, from far to near, accompanied by the laughter of the crowd—it might be that Liu Shi and others who went out to play are coming back.
"Grandfather..." She felt that she might not be able to fulfill Liu Bingzhou's request tonight, and was about to speak, but she turned to the corner of the yard out of the corner of her eye.
There used to be a magnolia tree planted there, but unfortunately it died due to the waterlogging.
Mrs. Liu asked people to pile up some stone locks that Yao Hui used to practice in the corner. When Yao Hui was trying to practice two days ago, she took a look and found a new bud growing under the magnolia tree.
But at this moment, she took a closer look and saw that it was empty, where was the shadow of a dead tree?
"Where's the tree?!" She exclaimed, and walked slowly towards the corner.
Liu Bingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he followed behind her.
There was a lonely stone lock placed in the direction she was going, and the soil under the ground seemed to have signs of fresh digging, leaving a shallow pit about the size of a washbasin.
"Two days ago, your mother thought that these trees were withered and lifeless, and asked Zheng Shi to dig them up..." Liu Bingzhou sighed regretfully when thinking of this:
"Could it be..."
Yao Shouning didn't speak, but squatted down.
"I remember, I remember behind the stone lock—"
"have what?"
Liu Bingzhou asked curiously.
Yao Shouning didn't respond to him, but just stretched out his hand to grab the iron chain that was hanging down on the ground.
There was a 'bang bang' sound as the chain was being dragged. She lifted the chain and pulled it hard.
The stone lock Yao Hui used for practicing kung fu weighed more than two to three hundred catties, and she could pull it at will, but she couldn't move it anywhere.
"..."
When Liu Bingzhou saw this scene, his eyelids twitched, and he said hastily:
"Shouning, don't..."
"Grandfather, please move away, I remember that there seems to be a branch under the corner of Shisuo."
At this moment, Yao Shouning had put all distracting thoughts behind her. She only remembered that new shoot in her mind, and she always felt that that new shoot was very special.
At this time, the door of Yao's house was opened, and the carriage drove into the house. The laughter of Yao Hui and others came, and everyone got out of the carriage and walked this way.
Liu Bingzhou wanted to persuade him again, but Yao Shouning had already hung the chain on his shoulders, kicking his legs and dragging them out.
"Shou Ning, Shou Ning!" Liu Bingzhou was terrified, fearing that she would slip up to his waist.
She is not very old, but she is in good health, and her strength is not small.
In addition, she only used the chain to drag it instead of lifting it, which saved a lot of effort. After exhausting all her strength, she was able to drag the stone lock to move a little bit.
At this moment, there were footsteps, as if someone had heard the movement here and came to find out.
After Liu Bingzhou turned his head, he saw Su Miaozhen who was covering his face.
She held a wooden stick in her hand and looked vigilant.
When she heard the movement at the beginning, she was worried that a thief had entered the house. When she saw the grandparent and grandson in the courtyard, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Grandfather—" Then she saw Yao Shouning, who was dragging the stone chain, and his face was flushed, and she was shocked:
"Shou Ning!"
Yao Shouning only felt that his shoulders were rubbed red and his palms were burning.
But when she kicked hard on the ground with her toes, she could feel the sound of the stone lock rubbing against the ground and moving.
"Shouning, what are you doing?"
While talking, people from outside also came into the inner courtyard.
After Liu Shi and others came back, they were stunned when they saw Su Miaozhen standing in front of the round arch gate and Liu Bingzhou not far away.
Then everyone heard Su Miaozhen's words again, and everyone stepped forward quickly, and saw Yao Shouning "Hey Zuo, Hey Zuo" dragging the stone lock forward half a foot.
"..."
Yao Hui was dumbfounded, Liu looked at her daughter and remained silent for a long time.
Yao Shouning didn't care about everyone's reaction. After dragging the stone lock away, she threw the chain away, then turned around and squatted back to the place where the stone lock was placed.
Under the stone lock, there was indeed a broken branch.
"What are you doing?" Liu Shi asked curiously.
"I didn't expect Shouning to be so strong..." Yao Hui sighed, then turned to look at his son with disgust in his eyes.
"..." Yao Ruoyun's smile froze on his face, and he felt a little aggrieved.
Everyone surrounded Yao Shouning, and Mrs. Liu asked:
"Shouning, what are you messing with at night?"
She didn't expect her daughter to go out with Lu Zhi, but she came back so early, and she was in a mess. When she went out in the afternoon, she was clearly wearing new clothes, and she looked dirty, not to mention wet.
Yao Shouning ignored her, but squatted down, and picked up the branch that was suppressed by the stone lock in his palm.
This is a newly grown seedling under the dead magnolia tree. Unfortunately, Mrs. Liu probably didn't notice this, and ordered someone to forcibly dig up the dead tree and plant a new one.
And this bud was stuck behind the stone lock, and it was torn off and stayed. It should be during the process of digging the tree. Zheng Shi and others didn't notice the thin shoot, and the stone lock pressed it to the ground while pushing.
After two days, the new shoots on the branches had withered, the tender branches were covered with scratches, and large brown spots appeared on the original green plants.
"Grandfather, I think..."
She carefully held the bud and handed it to Liu Bingzhou:
"This should be the one you want."
The girl's cheeks were bright red, and there was hope in her eyes.
Liu Bingzhou hesitated for a moment, as if he was infected by her, his heart also started beating 'thumping'.
He subconsciously let go of his hand, and the broken branch that was originally held in his arms fell to the ground, and he caught the scarred and withered branch.
The moment the branch bud fell into his palm, the wooden branch on top of Liu Bingzhou's head disappeared immediately.
His long silver-white hair, which he had tied up, flowed down like running water and scattered on both sides of his cheeks.
On his face, there was a look of surprise and surprise. After a long time, he sighed:
"Shouning, you found that 'key'."
Not only that, she also solved the doubts in her heart and discovered the secret of the magical 'wooden branch' on her grandfather's head.
The wooden branch on Liu Bingzhou's head that has been pinned for decades turned out to be the 'key'.
"Grandfather, this..."
Her eyes widened, and she couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
When she handed over the bud, the hairpin on her grandfather's head disappeared, and there must be a connection between the two. She vaguely felt that the branch she handed over might be the hairpin on her grandfather's head all the time. a stick.
"Well, how is this possible?"
Her almond-eyed eyes were wide open, and she couldn't believe it like Yao Wanning before.
If her guess is true, wouldn't that prove that the wooden hairpin on grandfather's head was actually made by her?

(End of this chapter)
"This, how is this possible..."
When Yao Wanning heard her sister's bold speech, she subconsciously shook her head in denial.
"I, after all, there is a time difference of 700 years between me and him..." Taizu was born 700 years ago, and she met the 'River God' 700 years later, how could the child in her womb be 700 years ago? Descendants of 'him'?
Yao Wanning felt dizzy just thinking about it. Although she didn't want to doubt her sister, but the matter was too magical, she still hugged her stomach and murmured:
"This, this is impossible—"
"How is it impossible?" Yao Shouning pouted his lower lip, leaned forward, and reached out to touch his sister's stomach.
Yao Wanning subconsciously removed the hand protecting her belly, and let her sister's palm stick to her.
She is still young, so she can't feel any movement when she touches it, but the moment Yao Shouning's palm is pressed to her sister's belly through the thin clothes, the warm and soft touch enters her palm, and a feeling of pain suddenly arises in her heart. An inexplicable sour feeling.
For this 'marriage', Yao Shouning actually had a heart-to-heart knot.
From her point of view, the 'marriage' between the 'River God' and his sister was simply unequal.
Leaving aside the fact that the "River God" is just a demon now, the relationship with Yao Wanning was half-forced and half-deceived. Even if the "River God" was the founder of the country, even if the person who met Yao Wanning in his dream may have been 700 years old Zhu Shizhen, who was in the prime of life before—but the age and age difference between the two of them was huge, and she still felt awkward.
It's a pity that Yao Wanning seems to have deep roots in love, but she fell in love because of marriage, so Yao Shouning is naturally inconvenient to say more.
Although she had a grudge against the 'River God', when she touched her sister's stomach, the feeling was completely different.
Yao Shouning originally thought that his feelings for Yao Wanning's child should be complicated and at a loss, but it is natural to be close by blood. When the two sisters got close, all the anxiety and worries disappeared. Instead, they were moved. with tenderness.
This is the child that my sister wants to protect wholeheartedly, and it is the hope that she nurtures with flesh and blood and tenderness.
In front of her, a baby with its limbs curled up kicked its legs, as if it had changed a comfortable position, and rubbed against her palm.
A baby's laughter sounded in Yao Shouning's mind, and the feeling of intimacy, happiness and curiosity was conveyed from his palm, and Yao Shouning's heart softened instantly.
"The dream wedding can become a reality, you can conceive flesh and blood, what is impossible?"
She touched her sister's belly, and for some reason, her eyes were slightly moist.
"Actually, there's one thing I didn't tell you."
Yao Shouning paused, then whispered:
"The day my son and I explored the king's tomb, we entered the underground dragon vein—" She said this, took a breath, and tried her best to calm down her inner emotions:
"I seem to hear the child's laughter and see a child's shadow."
Yao Wanning bit her lower lip and didn't make a sound.
From her younger sister's words, she could hear Yao Shouning's emotional ups and downs, and she could also tell that her younger sister had accepted the fact that she was pregnant.
She was undoubtedly relieved that the secret she had kept for a long time was easily accepted by her closest family members.
She was also moved by Yao Shouning's support for her, but she still felt that what Yao Shouning said was too unbelievable.
"Although I don't have any evidence, I always feel that the shadow may be this child." Yao Shouning said softly.
It was a very quiet night.
At this time, the Yao family was almost out for a night out. In the huge room, only the two sisters approached and whispered softly. The scene was indescribably warm.
"When I entered King Qi's tomb, I always had an inexplicable feeling." Yao Shouning pursed his lips and said:
"When I entered King Qi's tomb, the son mentioned that it was the son of Emperor Tianyuan who died young—" She paused for a moment as she thought of the scene at that time, and then continued:
"At that time, when I thought of Emperor Tianyuan, I felt a little uncomfortable for some reason."
'Bang bang bang——' Yao Wanning's heart started beating wildly when she heard this.
She knows that her younger sister has a special bloodline and is extremely capable of predicting certain things. Since she said so...
"You mean, Emperor Tianyuan is—"
"Sister, Emperor Tianyuan is the son of Taizu." Yao Shouning looked at her and said softly:
"I suspect that he is..."
She didn't say what she said later, but Yao Wanning was so upset that she kept shaking her head.
"How is this possible? How is it possible..." She spoke incoherently, and for a moment she didn't know what she was feeling.
Yao Wanning had been ill for many years, and had also been familiar with history books, so she naturally knew the life and past of Emperor Tianyuan, and knew that he ascended the throne at a young age, but she suffered the pain of the early death of her eldest son.
"My child, how could it be him?"
She subconsciously denied it, she didn't want her son to have such a life in the future, and was about to say that Emperor Tianyuan's biological mother was someone else...
But when she thought about it again, she was horrified to find that she couldn't remember all the history books she had read in the past. When she opened her mouth, she couldn't tell who the biological mother of Emperor Tianyuan was.
When she recited the word 'Tianyuan' again, she felt more and more intimate, and actually felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Emperor Tianyuan is her son!
This thought flooded Yao Wanning's mind, and her eyes turned red.
"If, if he is my child, then between us, between us..."
After 700 years, she gave birth to a child 700 years ago, how could this child go back to 700 years ago?
She grabbed Yao Shouning's hand and hurriedly said:
"Shou Ning, if what you said is true, my son should go back to 700 years ago to continue his life, otherwise, will history be messed up?"
She married the 'River God' in a dream, which has disrupted history and changed many situations.
In today's history books, Taizu Zhu Shizhen never married a wife in his life, which means that he had no wife or children 700 years ago. If so, would the Daqing Dynasty want to change the inheritance?
"Once history changes, will we, will we still exist?"
If the second generation king of the Daqing Dynasty is no longer Emperor Tianyuan, history will take a turning point from here. After 700 years, this change will be extremely terrible. Maybe Liu Bingzhou is no longer a great Confucian, or Liu's family may not marry Yao Hui and have two daughters and one son.
Without Yao Wanning, there would be no more engagements between her and the 'River God'...
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and she felt a sense of fear in her heart. She felt that her stomach was tightening up and down, and she even felt a faint pain.
"Don't panic."
Yao Shouning's palm was held extremely tightly by her elder sister, she reluctantly comforted her softly:
"There will be a way."
By now, Chen Taiwei already knew the secret that she was the descendant of the Bianji clan, so she no longer concealed some things from her sister.
"Maybe I have a solution for this matter."
"What way?" Yao Wanning was concerned, but she was confused. Although she knew that it was useless to panic, she still couldn't control her thoughts.
"If you give birth to a child, I will send the child away for you!"
Facing his sister's flustered and helpless expression, Yao Shouning blurted out the thoughts in his heart on impulse.
"Send, send away?"
Yao Wanning was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Why, how to send it away?"
Yao Shouning said such things at first, purely controlled by her emotions, but at this moment when faced with her sister's questioning, she gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it, she found that this matter might not be unsolvable.
"you listen to me."
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she held her sister's hand instead:
"I can travel through the barrier of time."
"What does this mean?" Yao Wanning asked in a daze, confused:
"Shouning, I don't understand."
"Sister, I can walk in time." Yao Shouning explained, but after she finished speaking, seeing that Yao Wanning still half understood, she quickly added:
"That day in Dai Wang's underground palace, the catacombs were blocked by broken dragon stones, and my son and I were blocked out." If the tomb door was forcibly broken open, there would be noises, attracting soldiers guarding the tomb.
Yao Wanning understood this matter, although she didn't know why her younger sister brought it up suddenly, she still suppressed her panic and nodded.
"In the future, I will take my son, travel through time and space, and go back to the time when the king was buried 400 years ago!" When she talked about the past, she was a little excited:
"We followed the funeral procession and successfully entered the tomb."
Because of the time loophole, the two of them did not destroy the tomb door. This was also the first time she traveled through time and space.
And later, in order to kill the evil spirit gathered by the snake spirit, she sent the son back to many years ago several times, which also proves from another aspect that she has the ability to send others back 700 years ago.
When she said this, Yao Wanning immediately understood what she meant.
"You mean, you can, can send my child back to 700 years ago, to, to your brother-in-law?!" Yao Wanning opened her almond-shaped eyes and whispered in disbelief.
"..." The two sisters talked about their children. Although Yao Shouning felt that the word 'brother-in-law' was really awkward, she still forced herself to subconsciously ignore this feeling and nodded.
"I remembered the night of my birthday, when we were chatting, we mentioned children, do you remember?"
"Of course I remember!" Yao Wanning nodded vigorously.
That night was a turning point in her life, making her feel for the first time that the child in her womb was a piece of flesh and blood, not a demon.
She kept in mind what happened that day, and remembered every detail clearly.
"That night, when I was chatting with you, I suddenly seemed to have a dream..." She pushed the illusion she saw to 'dream'.
Yao Wanning recalled the scene that day, and indeed remembered that her sister was rude for a short time, and when she asked her later, she said that she seemed to be in a dream.
"You dreamed of a man..."
The two of them had this kind of dialogue before, but when it was mentioned again, Yao Wanning's mood was very different from that day.
After learning more information, she went back and thought about it, and she had already guessed many things.
"Yes." Yao Shouning nodded and replied:
"I dreamed that I carried a child and delivered it to a man." Her voice sounded softly in the room:
"And he took the child and said something—"
The two sisters looked at each other and said in unison:
"There have been successors since the Daqing Dynasty!"
As soon as these words were said, goose bumps arose on Yao Wanning's body.
She suddenly had an indescribable emotion.
After learning that she was pregnant, she was afraid and ashamed at first, but when she found out that she was pregnant with a mortal child, she began to worry about the future of the child.
I am afraid that his life experience will be revealed, and that the world will not tolerate him.
But now Yao Shouning's words made her feel a big stone fall to the ground, as if months of anxiety had dissipated, and she was finally relieved.
"If that's the case, that would be great—" she murmured with tears in her eyes, and then seemed to think of something, her body shook:
"But Shouning, will this hurt you?"
She looked at her sister and asked a little timidly.
"It should be—it's not a big problem."
Yao Shouning hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
The eldest princess once reminded her that history cannot be changed, and changing history will bring about many changes.
But now history has changed. Although what she said to Yao Wanning tonight was guesswork, there were already signs of omens.
She looked up at the shadow of the baby on the shoulder of the 'River God', and the baby was also looking at her from the other side, making a 'giggle' innocent laugh.
This is my sister's child, my sister's blood!
Her heart became more and more determined:
"I can definitely do it, I can definitely send him back!"
"Yes, but how do you want to send it?" Seeing that she was determined, Yao Wanning forced herself to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and asked.
"I don't know yet." Speaking of this question, Yao Shouning was also a little uncertain.
She stood up suddenly:
"I'll ask my grandfather."
"what?"
Yao Wanning sat up and reached out to pull her.
"Grandfather must know how to do it." After Yao Shouning said this, he saw the panic and fear on his sister's face, and after a little thought, he guessed what she was thinking at this time.
She was pregnant, and she must have felt panicked and ashamed at first, so she dared not tell her parents.
After hiding it for a long time, it turned into shame, and I didn't know how to speak.
Thinking of this, she moved in her heart and said:
"Sister, don't worry, I suspect that your grandfather may have known about your pregnancy."
"What..." Yao Wanning whispered, but she didn't feel surprised in her heart.
"My grandfather participated in the 'Yingtian Bookstore' back then. This bookstore was held by a senior of our family."
The sigh of 'Mr. Kongshan' appeared in Yao Shouning's mind, she shook her head and concentrated her mind:
"This senior knows the past and the future, and my grandfather may have known about the present."
She hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly:
"My ability is currently incomplete, and I haven't found my teacher and obtained a complete inheritance."
If she wanted to send Yao Wanning's child back 700 years, she had to find her own teacher before that.
"I always feel that my grandfather is the key opportunity to lead me to find my teacher."
"Is there any danger?" Yao Wanning looked at her sister with tears in her eyes and asked guiltily.
She knew that her willful behavior made her younger sister run and worry about her.
"No, it's not dangerous." Yao Shouning shook his head, but he thought of Chen Taiwei who had met once tonight.
He had an appointment with Zhang Raozhi back then, even if he found the descendant of the Bianji clan, he would never kill her before she got the inheritance.
——This is also the reason why he was only intimidating but didn't really use his ultimate move when we met several times before.
Once Yao Shouning obtained the inheritance, the agreement between Chen Taiwei and Zhang Raozhi would naturally be shattered, and Yao Shouning's real crisis would be at that time.
But in front of Yao Wanning, how could she have the heart to say it to make her sister worry?
"Don't worry, it's alright."
She endured the uneasiness in her heart, shook her head, and comforted her sister:
"Don't think too much, take good care of your body, I don't want you to have an accident, and I won't let you have an accident..."
"But I..." Yao Wanning was a little sad, she was about to speak, Yao Shouning fixedly looked at her:
"You'll be fine. Parents don't have white-haired people to kill black-haired people."
After finishing speaking, Yao Shouning added:
"This is the result of a divination by a strange Taoist, and it is very credible."
When Yao Wanning heard this, she felt certain in her heart.
She nodded and said softly:
"I listen to you."
Yao Shouning smiled:
"I'm going to find my grandfather, you have a good rest." After she finished speaking, she stood up and turned her back to her sister.
The moment he turned around, the smile on Yao Shouning's face quickly collapsed.
Although Chen Taiwei said that the Lius and his wife did not lose their daughter, his hexagrams showed that his parents had only one son and one daughter. In other words, the Yao family would eventually lose Yao Wanning.
She endured the uneasiness in her heart, stepped out of the room quickly, and went to the wing where her grandfather lived temporarily.
The moon is shining brightly tonight, and the sky is full of stars. It can be seen that tomorrow will be a fine and sunny day.
Liu Bingzhou's room was lit, and the dim light shone through the window paper. She stood in the courtyard, feeling very confused.
In front of Yao Wanning, she naturally couldn't show any signs of decadence, so she acted confidently to reassure her sister.
But when she was alone at this time, all the pressure fell on her, which made her feel very tired.
"Shou Ning."
She was only in a daze for a while, when suddenly her grandfather's voice came from inside the room.
"Huh?" She responded subconsciously with a feeling of loss, and then said in surprise:
"Grandfather, how do you know it's me?"
I saw the reflection on the window standing up, unusually tall, giving people a strong sense of security.
Not long after, the shadow disappeared, and then the closed door of the wing room was pulled open with a 'creak' sound. Under the light, Liu Bingzhou's figure stood at the door of the house, with his hands still on the two doors, looking at her with a smile:
"Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
"Grandfather, tonight I..."
She hesitated to speak, but when she remembered her sister was pregnant, she burst into tears:
"I'm a little scared of doing the wrong thing."
When she learned the secret of Yao Wanning's pregnancy, it was equivalent to bearing a certain amount of pressure for her sister in disguise.
Although I discussed with my sister that this child might be sent back to the past, how should I explain this in front of my parents?
Also, Yao Wanning's ending is unknown. If Liu knew that everything started from her, she would lose this daughter who has always been regarded as the jewel in her palm, how sad would she be?
Yao Shouning wanted to protect his family, but how could he hide this kind of thing?
Liu Bingzhou looked at her tenderly.
There was tolerance and pity in his eyes, as if he could clearly see all the hesitation in this granddaughter's heart.
"Don't worry, speak slowly."
He beckoned to the girl, and Yao Shouning walked towards him slowly as if he had found a backbone:
"Grandfather, it's like this..."
The grandparents and grandchildren entered the room, and there was only a pot of tea and two cups filled with tea on the table in the room.
The tea in the cup is still hot, and the mist slowly rises, filling the room with the fragrance of tea.
Liu Bingzhou obviously knew that she was coming tonight and had already made preparations.
Her uneasy heart suddenly settled down, and she told the whole story of what happened tonight.
Yao Wanning's pregnancy didn't bother and surprise Liu Bingzhou, he looked calm, as if he knew it a long time ago.
For Yao Shouning, Liu Bingzhou at this time was like a magic needle for calming the sea. She suddenly gained confidence and said bluntly:
"Grandfather, I want to ask you to lead the way and lead me to my teacher."
Liu Bingzhou was not surprised by her request, but looked up at her. Her almond eyes were slightly swollen, but she looked at the elder very seriously, and said firmly:
"I want to obtain the inheritance and protect my sister. I promised her that when she gives birth in the future, I will safely send her child back to the past, hand it over, and hand it over to 'him'."
Although the face of the girl in front of him was still immature, her eyes and demeanor overlapped with the little friend in his memory.
Through the tea mist in front of Liu Bingzhou, his memory went back to the past——
That year he was young and full of vigor, he already had a good wife at home and a daughter under his knees, he worshiped the great Confucianist Zhang Raozhi as his teacher, and when he was about to flex his muscles, a meeting at Yingtian Bookstore changed his life.
He was stunned for a moment, his eyes were moist, and he blinked, all the memories were pressed in his heart, he looked at the tearful girl in front of him, and nodded:
"It should be about this time."
He collected himself and stood up suddenly:
"Shou Ning'er, come with me."
Yao Shouning's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He thought he was going to tell him to find 'Mr. Kong Shan', so he hurriedly agreed and went out with him.
The courtyard was very quiet, only the gentle breeze, Liu Bingzhou said:
"I can't show you the way to find a teacher," Yao Shouning looked disappointed when he heard this, but before she could speak, Liu Bingzhou said again:
"But I can give you an opportunity to guide you."
"What opportunity?" Yao Shouning pursed his lips and asked.
Liu Bingzhou said with a smile:
"Tonight, what you are looking for is a hope."
The girl didn't understand, and nodded obediently.
"I also want to find a hope." Liu Bingzhou said warmly.
"Grandfather, I don't understand..." Yao Shouning murmured, and Liu Bingzhou subconsciously stroked the top of his head.
In his hair, the hairpin is the wooden branch, the branches are stretched, and a few young leaves are gently swaying with the night wind.
No matter how many times he watched this scene, Yao Shouning felt it was very miraculous.
That day when Liu Bingzhou stepped into Yao's house, he carried this stick as a hairpin. She asked other people, but no one in the family could see the magic of the branch above Liu Bingzhou's head.
She secretly asked Liu Shi behind, but Liu Shi only knew she didn't know.
It is said that Liu Bingzhou in her memory has been wearing this wooden branch since she can remember things, she doesn't know the origin, but only knows that he has never changed it for decades, Liu is also very surprised by this.
When Yao Shouning saw Liu Bingzhou's movements, he felt curious.
But she still kept the business in mind, so she suppressed her own nature and suppressed the slightest thought of asking about the origin of the wooden branch.
"Grandfather..." Seeing Liu Bingzhou lost his mind while stroking the wooden branch, she was about to call him out, but she saw that Liu Bingzhou had already put down his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at her with a smile:
"Shouning, find a root and branch for me."
"Ah?" His request was beyond Yao Shouning's expectation. She was stunned, unable to react for a while.
"In this room, outside, or anywhere, break a branch for me." Liu Bingzhou thought that she didn't understand his request, so he said again.
This time he spoke in great detail, and Yao Shouning understood it immediately.
"Okay." She nodded in agreement, but asked hesitantly:
"But grandfather, I don't understand..."
"I don't quite understand some things, we need to try." Liu Bingzhou said.
Yao Shouning was puzzled, but she trusted Liu Bingzhou very much, so she nodded upon hearing this.
Yao's house is not big, but before the catastrophe, some flowers and trees were planted in the house, and there were outside this wing—it's a pity that the two heavy rains and one flood in the past six months made the flowers and trees planted in the house very large. Some are dead.
Later, after the flood subsided, Mrs. Liu felt that the house was run down and deserted, so she asked Zheng Shi to transplant some more flowering trees. It wasn't long before, and these flowering trees seemed a little wilted.
Under Liu Bingzhou's gaze, Yao Shouning walked to the corner of the courtyard and saw an unknown small tree. Following Liu Bingzhou's request, he broke off a branch, turned around and handed it to him:
"Grandfather—"
That branch was as thick as her pinky finger, with yellow-green leaves and a slight coolness.
Liu Bingzhou took it with his hand, looked at it for a moment, finally sighed silently, nodded and smiled:
"very good."
Although he said this, Yao Shouning always felt that his grandfather's tone seemed a little disappointed.
A thought came to her mind: what her grandfather wanted was not the branch she had broken off.
As soon as this idea came out, Yao Shouning was in a dilemma.
Liu Bingzhou wants a wooden branch!
But which stick in this room is he looking for?He said that it doesn't matter whether it is at home or outside the house. The scope is not small, and there are thousands of branches. My grandfather only said that he wanted it, but he didn't mention the name, appearance, and thickness of the branches.
Her mind was distracted for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she thought again: The prince should be left behind tonight.
It is better for the two of them to search together than for her to search alone.
The son has martial arts, so he can use his sword to cut, so the search will be much faster.
Feeling regretful in her heart, Liu Bingzhou replied:
"Shouning, you fold another one."
"Grandfather, do you want me to break a branch you want?" Yao Shouning asked.
"Yes!" Liu Bingzhou nodded and smiled.
"Then what do you want? What kind of tree? Or what kind of flower? Is there any requirement for the name, branch size and thickness?" Yao Shouning asked again.
"I don't know." Liu Bingzhou shook his head with a smile, and looked at her gently:
"I just know that I want a branch that you gave me. I don't care whether the branch is a flower or a tree, or what species it is, but it needs to be what I want."
When he said this, Yao Shouning immediately showed a troubled expression:
"Grandfather, you don't even know what you want, so I just bought it. How do you know?"
"Buddhism pays attention to fate." Liu Bingzhou said seriously:
"I don't know what kind of branch I want right now, but when you get the right one, we'll know."
When he said this, Yao Shouning had no choice but to nod:
"Ok."
She came here tonight because she wanted to discuss with her grandfather about her sister's pregnancy, and also wanted to ask him how to contact Mr. Kong Shan.
But Liu Bingzhou wanted to find that special branch first, so she had no choice but to suppress her anxiety, and subconsciously looked up at the top of Liu Bingzhou's head.
She always felt that her grandfather was not aimless in making such a request. Maybe the wooden branch he wanted was similar to the one he wore on his head.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bingzhou was very happy, thinking that this granddaughter is really smart.
Encouraged by his gaze, Yao Shouning's spirits lifted.
After she has a target, she is not as at a loss when looking for it as before, but consciously looks for branches of similar shape and size.
She was still eager to complete the task at first, and then went on to discuss Yao Wanning's matter.
But later, no matter how earnestly she searched for the broken branches, when she brought them to Liu Bingzhou, he still got a response of shaking his head:
"Not this one."
The grandfather and grandson had already walked out of the original courtyard, and unknowingly came to the main courtyard where the Liu family lived.
As time passed bit by bit, Yao Shouning couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Liu Bingzhou already held a handful of branches she had broken off in his hand, and he almost couldn't hold it steady.
She vaguely seemed to hear the sound of carriage wheels outside, from far to near, accompanied by the laughter of the crowd—it might be that Liu Shi and others who went out to play are coming back.
"Grandfather..." She felt that she might not be able to fulfill Liu Bingzhou's request tonight, and was about to speak, but she turned to the corner of the yard out of the corner of her eye.
There used to be a magnolia tree planted there, but unfortunately it died due to the waterlogging.
Mrs. Liu asked people to pile up some stone locks that Yao Hui used to practice in the corner. When Yao Hui was trying to practice two days ago, she took a look and found a new bud growing under the magnolia tree.
But at this moment, she took a closer look and saw that it was empty, where was the shadow of a dead tree?
"Where's the tree?!" She exclaimed, and walked slowly towards the corner.
Liu Bingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he followed behind her.
There was a lonely stone lock placed in the direction she was going, and the soil under the ground seemed to have signs of fresh digging, leaving a shallow pit about the size of a washbasin.
"Two days ago, your mother thought that these trees were withered and lifeless, and asked Zheng Shi to dig them up..." Liu Bingzhou sighed regretfully when thinking of this:
"Could it be..."
Yao Shouning didn't speak, but squatted down.
"I remember, I remember behind the stone lock—"
"have what?"
Liu Bingzhou asked curiously.
Yao Shouning didn't respond to him, but just stretched out his hand to grab the iron chain that was hanging down on the ground.
There was a 'bang bang' sound as the chain was being dragged. She lifted the chain and pulled it hard.
The stone lock Yao Hui used for practicing kung fu weighed more than two to three hundred catties, and she could pull it at will, but she couldn't move it anywhere.
"..."
When Liu Bingzhou saw this scene, his eyelids twitched, and he said hastily:
"Shouning, don't..."
"Grandfather, please move away, I remember that there seems to be a branch under the corner of Shisuo."
At this moment, Yao Shouning had put all distracting thoughts behind her. She only remembered that new shoot in her mind, and she always felt that that new shoot was very special.
At this time, the door of Yao's house was opened, and the carriage drove into the house. The laughter of Yao Hui and others came, and everyone got out of the carriage and walked this way.
Liu Bingzhou wanted to persuade him again, but Yao Shouning had already hung the chain on his shoulders, kicking his legs and dragging them out.
"Shou Ning, Shou Ning!" Liu Bingzhou was terrified, fearing that she would slip up to his waist.
She is not very old, but she is in good health, and her strength is not small.
In addition, she only used the chain to drag it instead of lifting it, which saved a lot of effort. After exhausting all her strength, she was able to drag the stone lock to move a little bit.
At this moment, there were footsteps, as if someone had heard the movement here and came to find out.
After Liu Bingzhou turned his head, he saw Su Miaozhen who was covering his face.
She held a wooden stick in her hand and looked vigilant.
When she heard the movement at the beginning, she was worried that a thief had entered the house. When she saw the grandparent and grandson in the courtyard, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Grandfather—" Then she saw Yao Shouning, who was dragging the stone chain, and his face was flushed, and she was shocked:
"Shou Ning!"
Yao Shouning only felt that his shoulders were rubbed red and his palms were burning.
But when she kicked hard on the ground with her toes, she could feel the sound of the stone lock rubbing against the ground and moving.
"Shouning, what are you doing?"
While talking, people from outside also came into the inner courtyard.
After Liu Shi and others came back, they were stunned when they saw Su Miaozhen standing in front of the round arch gate and Liu Bingzhou not far away.
Then everyone heard Su Miaozhen's words again, and everyone stepped forward quickly, and saw Yao Shouning "Hey Zuo, Hey Zuo" dragging the stone lock forward half a foot.
"..."
Yao Hui was dumbfounded, Liu looked at her daughter and remained silent for a long time.
Yao Shouning didn't care about everyone's reaction. After dragging the stone lock away, she threw the chain away, then turned around and squatted back to the place where the stone lock was placed.
Under the stone lock, there was indeed a broken branch.
"What are you doing?" Liu Shi asked curiously.
"I didn't expect Shouning to be so strong..." Yao Hui sighed, then turned to look at his son with disgust in his eyes.
"..." Yao Ruoyun's smile froze on his face, and he felt a little aggrieved.
Everyone surrounded Yao Shouning, and Mrs. Liu asked:
"Shouning, what are you messing with at night?"
She didn't expect her daughter to go out with Lu Zhi, but she came back so early, and she was in a mess. When she went out in the afternoon, she was clearly wearing new clothes, and she looked dirty, not to mention wet.
Yao Shouning ignored her, but squatted down, and picked up the branch that was suppressed by the stone lock in his palm.
This is a newly grown seedling under the dead magnolia tree. Unfortunately, Mrs. Liu probably didn't notice this, and ordered someone to forcibly dig up the dead tree and plant a new one.
And this bud was stuck behind the stone lock, and it was torn off and stayed. It should be during the process of digging the tree. Zheng Shi and others didn't notice the thin shoot, and the stone lock pressed it to the ground while pushing.
After two days, the new shoots on the branches had withered, the tender branches were covered with scratches, and large brown spots appeared on the original green plants.
"Grandfather, I think..."
She carefully held the bud and handed it to Liu Bingzhou:
"This should be the one you want."
The girl's cheeks were bright red, and there was hope in her eyes.
Liu Bingzhou hesitated for a moment, as if he was infected by her, his heart also started beating 'thumping'.
He subconsciously let go of his hand, and the broken branch that was originally held in his arms fell to the ground, and he caught the scarred and withered branch.
The moment the branch bud fell into his palm, the wooden branch on top of Liu Bingzhou's head disappeared immediately.
His long silver-white hair, which he had tied up, flowed down like running water and scattered on both sides of his cheeks.
On his face, there was a look of surprise and surprise. After a long time, he sighed:
"Shouning, you found that 'key'."
Not only that, she also solved the doubts in her heart and discovered the secret of the magical 'wooden branch' on her grandfather's head.
The wooden branch on Liu Bingzhou's head that has been pinned for decades turned out to be the 'key'.
"Grandfather, this..."
Her eyes widened, and she couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
When she handed over the bud, the hairpin on her grandfather's head disappeared, and there must be a connection between the two. She vaguely felt that the branch she handed over might be the hairpin on her grandfather's head all the time. a stick.
"Well, how is this possible?"
Her almond-eyed eyes were wide open, and she couldn't believe it like Yao Wanning before.
If her guess is true, wouldn't that prove that the wooden hairpin on grandfather's head was actually made by her?
