Chapter 206: Scene 31 (Inverted V) Awu, let’s go home…
"Ji Huai, how long has Awu been gone?" He Yuezhe walked quickly towards the noodle shop, and when he saw his master Ji Huai following him, he hurriedly asked.
"About one or two hours." Shi Jihuai replied.
"It took so long." He Yuezhe sighed. "Ji Huai, how about this? Help me take the horse back first, and then come find us at the noodle shop."
"Ms. He, I don't quite understand. Will something happen to Awu? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for you to tie the horse aside and let me go with you?" Shi Jihuai frowned and asked in confusion.
"Then why do you think Awu went there alone without calling anyone?" He Yuezhe asked back.
"This..." Shi Jihuai was stunned by the question. "Awu has always been obedient and well-behaved. She never tells us anything and always keeps it to herself. Miss He, are you saying that she's afraid we'll worry?"
"Yeah." He Yuezhe nodded seriously.
She guessed that Awu came to this noodle shop probably because she brought Awu here that day and Awu saw or heard something here.
In this case, she couldn't just let it go.
"...Okay, then I'll go back and find you later." Shi Jihuai said dejectedly, "Miss He, please be careful."
"good."
The two parted ways at the market entrance, and He Yuezhe hurried towards the noodle shop.
The water town in spring is more gentle than that in summer. The willows hanging beside the waterway have been washed by the rain, and each leaf is tender green. They hang down into the water, making the originally turbid water fresh.
Dark clouds floated over, blocking the sun, and the drizzle began to fall again, drip, drip.
“Tick-tock.”
“Awu!!”
The door of the noodle shop was locked tightly. He Yuezhe didn't want to alarm others, so he had to pry open the window and climb in.
As soon as she climbed in, she saw a pool of blood, a thick patch at the door, winding its way to the stairs.
“Tick-tock.”
Blood dripped from the wooden ceiling and landed in front of He Yue's broken feet.
"Why are you still alive? Why are you still alive?! Why can't you just die? Why, why can't you just die?!"
The woman's angry curses, accompanied by sobs, rang above He Yuezhe's head.
"Mother..." followed by Awu's weak voice.
He Yuezhe hurried upstairs.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! I'm not your mother! I'm not your mother!!"
"Mother, please stop it immediately. She will die if you continue like this!" It was the little girl that day.
"A Ling! A Ling, do you know what kind of person she is?"
"Mother……"
"Shut up!"
"Mother, although Aling doesn't know what kind of person she is, she knows that she is just her child and wants her love. She has done nothing wrong!"
"Wrong, wrong! She was wrong from the beginning to the end! Aling, her father, that hateful enemy soldier, occupied my former home and imprisoned me. Moreover, until his death, people were still praising how great he was and how touching the love between him and me was!"
"Mother, Aling, I've never heard you say this before..."
"So she was wrong, Aling. She was wrong from the beginning to the end! As the enemy's child, she shouldn't have been born. She should have died in the womb, she should have been spurned, she should have died!!"
"Then why did you give birth to her, mother?!" the little girl's voice was strong and powerful. "Mother, if you hate her, why did you give birth to her, letting her get in your way and suffer in this world?!"
"A Ling!!!" the woman was furious. "Do you know that when a woman is pregnant, even if she knows that the child is a disaster, she can't bear to kill her!"
"Mother, I...but you are really..."
"A Ling, I know you are kind, but if she had died, if she had stopped disturbing our lives, none of this would have happened."
"She insisted on coming close to me again, so I treated her like this! Ah Ling, you are my daughter, the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. Do you think you are going to protect this bastard?!"
“But mother!!”
"Awu!"
“Whoosh!”
He Yuezhe swung out the dagger, which brushed against the woman's hair and stabbed into the wall behind her.
"Who are you?! Why are you here?!" The woman touched her hair in horror, stepped back a few steps, and loosened her hand that was holding Awu's collar.
"Awu." He Yuezhe rushed over and hugged Awu, who was kneeling on the ground, his face and body covered in blood. "Awu, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"Immortal," Awu's eyelashes were soaked in blood and stuck together. She couldn't open her eyes. She just used her hands to gently grasp He Yuezhe's sleeves and whispered, "Awu is fine..."
"Breaking into a private residence, do you know that this is illegal?!" the woman roared.
"Isn't it illegal for you to hit someone?!" He Yuezhe asked back.
"She's my daughter, so of course it's not illegal for me to hit her!" The woman laughed as she spoke. "Besides, if it were illegal for family members to hit each other in this world, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Mother!" The little girl called "A Ling" grabbed the woman's arm, her face full of worry, "Calm down first!"
"How can I stay calm?" the woman sighed. "A Ling, that man has ruined half my life. I can't stay calm even a little bit when facing this evil child!"
"Awu, is she your mother?" He Yuezhe hugged Awu and put his coat on her.
"Hmm..." Awu nodded weakly.
"Girl, this is my family affair, please don't interfere."
"Mother, why don't we just forget it?"
“…”
"You didn't raise her, and you even abandoned her. What kind of mother are you?" He Yuezhe frowned and retorted, but Awu pulled her sleeve, "Awu, it's okay, I'll do it..."
"Mother," Awu jumped out of He Yuezhe's arms and fell to his knees on the ground, "It's Awu's fault."
"Awu?!"
Awu's arms were trembling as she supported herself on the ground. She forced a smile and said, "Awu shouldn't have come. I'm sorry."
"Bang."
"Awu!"
"Mother, it's all Awu's fault, it's all Awu's fault." Awu's forehead hit the ground hard.
“…”
"Bang."
"Awu shouldn't have come. It was Awu who did the wrong thing, mother. It's all Awu's fault. Please don't blame others."
"Awu..." He Yuezhe looked at Awu's bony back.
"Bang."
“…”
"It's all Awu's fault. Mother wants to beat and scold me, and Awu has to bear it all. Please don't hurt others."
"Bang."
He Yuezhe didn't understand what was going on in Awu's hot, throbbing heart, but she knew that Awu was not the kind of impulsive person who would act on impulse, and she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary that day, so perhaps she didn't come here today to see her mother or say anything to her mother.
"This is a matter between you and me. I certainly won't hurt anyone else." The woman said with her arms folded across her chest.
"Awu, your name is Awu, right? Awu, you get up first." Aling came over and supported Awu.
"No, Awu is fine. Awu did something wrong and should be punished." Awu shook his head, did not get up, and continued to kowtow.
In terms of age, Awu should be several years older than Aling, but now it seems that Awu is so thin that she looks like Aling's younger sister.
“…” The woman looked at Awu coldly without saying anything.
She wiped her bloody hands across the hair stuck to her cheeks, staining her originally clean cheeks blood red.
The woman's skin was not fair, but rather dark. There were deep bruises under her eyes, and wrinkles crawled up the corners of her mouth and eyes.
The sleeve slid down, revealing the red scar on her wrist.
"Mother, please let her go, okay?" A Ling shook the woman's hand and begged.
“…” The woman still didn’t speak.
"Mother," Awu's voice was very weak, she almost collapsed and was about to be unable to stand up, "It's all Awu's fault, it's all Awu's fault..."
"That's enough. Even if you hate her and her biological father, there is no need to take her life." He Yuezhe stood up.
“…” The woman turned her head away.
He Yuezhe took a few steps forward, took out the dagger, and picked up Awu, who had fainted on the ground and had no strength left.
"I have no right to ask you not to hate her, but as her master, I cannot watch her be trapped in the past forever because of your hatred."
He Yuezhe looked at the woman and said seriously, "Pain is terrible, but if you can grow through it, then it is just a training."
"Awu's life, Aling's life, and your life are all very long. We shouldn't be trapped in the past."
“…”
"Just get over that hurdle, and then, I wish you a happy life."
"Thank you." A Ling took out a bag and handed it to He Yuezhe. "Hey, girl, wait a minute. Take these and buy some medicine and gadgets for A Wu. Just consider it a little token of my appreciation as your sister."
"...Well, I thank you on behalf of Awu."
He Yuezhe took the heavy bag, hugged Awu, and gently brushed away the hair on Awu's forehead that was stuck with blood.
She said softly, "Xiao Awu, we are going home now."
Go downstairs and climb out of the window.
"Miss He, you finally came out!" Shi Jihuai ran over from the main entrance of the noodle shop and looked at the two of them anxiously, "How is Awu? No—Awu!!"
"Awu, Miss He, what happened to her?" Shi Jiyu also came, leaning on his crutches, and walked over anxiously.
"Go back first."
"Okay, okay, let's go back first!"
"Well, let Awu sit in the wheelchair."
"Yeah. Oh, and Awu's sister...?"
"Miss He, Awu doesn't actually have a younger sister. That younger sister is just her own imagination."
"Awu's mother is here?"
"Um."
"Oh my god, why is there so much blood on Awu? I brought a bandage, but should I stop the bleeding first before going back?"
"good."
"Miss He, I hope you don't blame Awu, she..."
"I don't blame her."
"Well, Awu isn't very friendly, and it's hard for us to say what kind of child she is, but she's not a bad person after all."
"I know."
"Okay, that's it for now, let's go!"
"good."
He Yuezhe nodded, and several people rushed towards the organization at a rapid speed.
