[Extra Volume 7-Chu Mingze (2)](1/3)
When Dongfang entered the door, she smiled faintly on her thin face. After sitting down, she put a cloth bag on the table and opened it. "This is the shoes I made for Yue'er. I wanted to use them to let her try to fit her, but she didn't expect her to go out."
The shoes are Xiao Aoyue’s favorite pink, exquisite and beautiful. The upper is decorated with small pearls to create the shape of a cute little fish. It seems that it took a lot of effort to make it.
"Thank you, aunt, Yue'er must like it very much. Auntie pays more attention to rest in the future. Yue'er knows that you love her." Wanyan You smiled and did not refuse an elder's kindness to the child. It has nothing to do with Chu Mingze.
"I'm not doing anything," Dongfang sighed slightly, "You'er, aunt is relying on her seniority and has some heartfelt words to tell you."
Wanyan You smiled a little lightly, "Aunt, if it were your son's business, you don't have to tell me. I know what he means very well. My attitude has long been explained to him. There has never been a relationship that transcends the boundary between men and women, and there will never be any misunderstandings in this."
Before Dongfang came, he thought of a lot of words and planned to tell Wanyan You about the suffering Chu Mingze encountered when he was a child and the incompetence of her mother. I hope Wanyan You can give Chu Mingze a chance.
Even though Chu Mingze was still rebellious in front of Dongfang, Dongfang also made up his mind to take care of Chu Mingze and reform himself no matter what, and not to miss a good woman like Wanyan You.
However, there was no word that Dongfang wanted to say, and Wanyan You blocked everything back.
When Dongfang thought of Chu Mingze, his eyes turned red and his head lowered.
"Aunt, I am also a mother. I can understand your love for your son. No matter what he did, no matter how many people in this world hate him, you are the one who wants him to be the best." Wanyan You said with a faint expression, "But this matter has nothing to do with whether he gets married or who he gets married. Even if I marry Yue'er, it will not solve the problems he has, because he has never faced his own faults."
Dongfang came out of Wanyan You and returned to the yard where they lived. He saw Chu Mingze's room with the door open. He sat inside and looked at her quietly.
Dongfang stopped and the mother and son looked at each other silently. After a while, Chu Mingze raised his hand and closed the door, isolating Dongfang's vision.
"Mom, is it really impossible for brother and sister You?" Chu Lingyu asked Dongfang.
Dongfang sighed and shook his head, "Yue'er's mother finally got over the hardships and was happy. She is living a good life now and she doesn't want to have any connection with your elder brother anymore."
Chu Lingyu frowned, "Actually, I don't think my elder brother likes Sister You, I really don't know what he is thinking. I asked, but he doesn't want to say it."
"We can't live here for long, and Yue'er will definitely not follow us." Dongfang smiled bitterly, "It will not be easy to see her again in the future."
"Mom, I don't want to leave, I like this place..." Chu Lingyu whispered, "I like the sisters in the Ning Prince's Mansion. I don't want to go back to the valley, watch the clouds rise and fall every day, and spend the time doing nothing."
Chu Lingyu is still young. When she was six years old, she changed her house in Qianye Chengping. She followed Dongfang and was arranged by Chu Mingze to live a wandering life. Sometimes, she would live in the same place for a year or two, which was quite stable. But at some point, Chu Mingze didn't explain, so she asked them to change places immediately.
Chu Lingyu was about to forget what her hometown Qianye City looked like. No place she had lived in in the past few years made her nostalgic for it. Because the world was vast, she was always trapped in a small world called protection encircled by Chu Mingze.
It is inevitable that Chu Lingyu will feel depressed when she experiences what it is like to live a beautiful life.
Dongfang hugged Chu Lingyu, and the mother and daughter were speechless for a moment. What will happen to their future depends on Chu Mingze's choice after all.
Chu Mingze stood outside the door, silently, and he could hear the conversation between the mother and daughter clearly.
That night, Wanyan You closed the Chinese medicine book, got up, opened the window, and the moon was in the middle of the sky, and Xiao Aoyue had not come back.
In the Ningwang Mansion, Wanyan You didn’t have to accompany Xiao Aoyue all the time. She even couldn’t see Xiao Aoyue all day long because Xiao Aoyue had to read and write with Ye Chen every day and play with her brothers and sisters, and she didn’t have to worry about anything.
Occasionally, Xiao Aoyue would sleep with the Wanwan sisters at night, but she would not come back, but Ye Ling would send someone to inform Wanyan You, so that she would not have to wait.
It's the first time that I haven't seen the child or come to say hello to me.
Wanyan You carried the lantern out of the yard. Seeing that the bamboo building where Nangong Heng and Ye Ling lived had turned off the lights, she went to Ye Sheng and Ning Zhen again. When she arrived at the gate of the yard, she found that the room inside was also dark and she had all gone to bed.
Wanyan You frowned and turned to the residence of Chu Mingze's family.
Chu Lingyu was not asleep yet, and was focusing on the music score borrowed from Ning Zhen. When he heard the knock on the door, he quickly got up.
"Xiaoyu, has Yue'er been here?" Wanyan You asked.
Chu Lingyu was stunned for a moment, "Yue'er went out to play today, bought a gift for my mother, and came here when she returned home in the evening. The dinner was made by my mother, and we ate with our elder brother and Yue'er. The elder brother said that he would take Yue'er to play for a while and then send it back to your place."
The room next door Chu Mingze was pitch black, and Wanyan You felt a sank, "I didn't see him!" After saying that, he turned around and went to the door of Chu Mingze's room. He pushed it and the door opened.
The room was empty.
Chu Lingyu's heart skipped a beat, and then Wanyan You gritted her teeth, "I'm going to kill him!"
Soon, everyone in the house woke up.
Su Tang had a dark face, "I'm looking for death! I'm going to chop that bastard!"
Dongfang clan and Chu Lingyu felt ashamed. Everyone in the Ning Palace treated them very well. They never expected that Chu Mingze would even take Xiao Aoyue away without saying hello.
Situ Xuan looked ugly, "Someone saw Chu Mingze holding Yue'er into the bamboo forest. The night was still light at that time. Everyone often went for a walk in the bamboo forest. No one thought about it, but after he went in, he didn't see him."
With Chu Mingze's current strength and his understanding of the Ning Prince's Mansion, it is actually easy to take Xiao Aoyue away without disturbing the guards.
Ye Chen frowned, "Although I know that the bad uncle will not hurt Yue'er, I still want to give him a knife."
As Ye Chen said, no one thinks Chu Mingze will hurt Xiao Aoyue.
But the problem is that if he takes Xiao Aoyue to some secret place to hide, it will be difficult to find it.
Wanyan You was confused for a moment and thought of a worse situation. In case Chu Mingze used methods to make Xiao Aoyue lose her memory, forget everyone else, and only remembered that he was her father...
"I shouldn't have spared him at the beginning!" Meng Qi said what many people were thinking now.
Nangong Heng walked into the conference hall with Ye Ling in his arms. Ye Ling looked a little tired and rubbed his forehead, "Aheng, go and bring Yue'er back."
Wanyan You's expression subsided, and Nangong Heng said, "Xiao Yezi had already put a searching gun on Chu Mingze's body. He couldn't run away. They all disperse. I'll go find it."
"I'll go with my uncle!" Ye Chen said.
Wanyan You's tense heartstrings then relaxed and she couldn't feel cold sweat.
Nangong Heng sent Ye Ling back, but Wanyan You couldn't sleep, so he took the initiative to tell her to accompany Ye Ling.
When he went out again, the little boy was wearing night clothes and holding a scimitar, waiting.
Nangong Heng strode over and knocked on Ye Chen's forehead, "If a child doesn't sleep well, he will not grow taller."
Ye Chen frowned, "Uncle, I'm not a child."
Nangong Heng hooked Ye Chen's neck and turned around, and saw Chu Lingyu standing by the lake not far away, looking uneasy, hesitating whether to come over.
Chu Lingyu raised her foot, but Nangong Heng did not give her a chance to speak. She hugged Ye Chen and flew up, and disappeared.
"My sister Chu, go back." Situ Xuan came over, "What your elder brother does has nothing to do with you. No one will take his anger on you, and you don't have to worry about him. He should be responsible for his actions."
Chu Lingyu looked gloomy, "I know, I just feel, I'm sorry..."
Chu Lingyu still remembers that when she was six years old, when Chu Mingze carried her to escape from Qianye City on a boat, she asked Chu Mingze, could they still go home, and Chu Mingze said that she would go back.
A few years passed in a flash, but Chu Lingyu didn't know what Chu Mingze did secretly. Chu Mingze never said it, and no one else would tell her. But her brother suddenly turned into another person. After she got the answer to this bizarre thing, she felt complicated and difficult to describe in her heart when facing Chu Mingze again.
She is Chu Mingze's sister. She just wanted to ask Nangong Heng for help. If she could, she would not kill Chu Mingze, but she felt that she couldn't say it...
Situ Xuan sent Chu Lingyu back and was silent all the way. When entering the door, Chu Lingyu murmured, "If life can be repeated, my elder brother will not be like that again."
At this time, on Qingfeng Mountain, the highest suburb of Xiliang City, the night wind is cold and cool.
Chu Mingze sat on a big rock on the top of the mountain. Xiao Aoyue was wrapped in his arms in his clothes, revealing her little head, slightly raised her head, and looked at the night sky with bright eyes.
The stars are shining, the Milky Way is so beautiful.
"Is Yue'er happy?" Chu Mingze asked.
Xiao Aoyue nodded, "Happy! This is the most beautiful starry sky I have ever seen!"
"Does Yue'er want to go with her father? You can go wherever you want to see the beautiful scenery in the world." Chu Mingze gently stroked Xiao Aoyue's soft hair.
Xiao Aoyue turned her head slightly, and Qian Ruoxingzi looked at Chu Mingze with her eyes, "Dad, I am too young. I made an appointment with my brother to go on a trip together when I grow up. Now I need to study hard and practice martial arts."
Chu Mingze smiled, "The person you are most reluctant to leave is that little devil Ye Chen?"
Xiao Aoyue shook her head, "Brother said, the world is so big that there are always endless scenery, but home is the only and most important thing. When you are tired, you can go back at any time. I can't bear to leave my home. Where is my father's home?"
Chu Mingze gently stroked Xiao Aoyue's little face, his eyes slightly dimmed, "Home, I seem to have it before."
Later, the family abandoned him and he never looked back.
"Have Yue'er ever heard that the world is home and keeps things at peace? Isn't this more free and unrestrained?" Chu Mingze asked with a smile.
Xiao Aoyue turned around, wrapped in Chu Mingze's wide coat, and sat opposite him. She was wearing a pearl forehead ornament made by Nangong Heng with his own hands, shining with a beautiful and gentle light. Her delicate and beautiful little face looked like a little fairy who had accidentally entered the mortal world from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
"Mom said, if there is no home, no matter where you go, you will be rootless duckweed and a kite with broken strings. Such freedom is not freedom, but loss." Xiao Aoyue stretched out her little hand and grabbed Chu Mingze's hand that was placed beside her, "Dad, are you lost?"
Are you lost? Chu Mingze's heart felt like he was hit hard by a stone. At first, it hurts bloodyly, and then he becomes habitually numb. But looking at Xiao Aoyue's warm eyes, the darkness and hardness in his heart were finally torn apart bit by bit.
At his weakest and helpless age and when he should be protected the most, the home he once relied on and the place he should protect him the most was also the beginning of a nightmare.
Later, Chu Mingze always wanted to find the meaning of living, which he thought was powerful, and this became his deepest and most important obsession.
It was not until just now that Xiao Aoyue pointed it out that Chu Mingze realized that he seemed to be moving forward unswervingly, unwilling to look back, and did not care about the misty road ahead, because he had been escaping, dared not face the past, and had never really thought about the future. He was always lost and did not find a place of peace in his heart.
He was in a depressed mood recently. He regained his proud internal strength, but Su Tang refused to compete with him. Wanyan You, who was regarded as an ant by him, looked down on him.
Chu Mingze was still thinking at the time that he was not lucky. He was not as lucky as Nangong Heng, and that such a background was saved by Nangong Yuzheng. He was not as lucky as Su Tang, and he could meet someone who made him stop.
But at this moment, Chu Mingze suddenly realized that he was jealous because what he really longed for in his heart had nothing to do with strength.
He was jealous of Nangong Heng's biological son, but Nangong Yu gave him a warm home.
He was jealous of Su Tang, the lunatic who had also had a lot of bad records, and Meng Jing gave him the courage to start over.
But he only has a weak mother and a weak sister, and he needs to rely on him, that is not the home he wants.
In the end, what he saw through his uneasy and lost heart was the child he wanted to care for.
He was always on the road, rushing to go anywhere, but there was no place where he could go back, let him emptied, and feel at ease...
"Dad?!" A voice full of surprise, but it was not Chu Mingze who called him.
Chu Mingze did not look back and reached out to collect Xiao Aoyue's clothes.
To be continued...
