Chapter 7 The Eve of the Fire
The dream transforms into human hearts.
This sentence was said by the young master named Jiang in my memory. I don’t remember when or where he said this. I only remember that the young master who couldn’t see his face clearly was wearing a green brocade robe and sat under the tree, with white pear blossoms spread all over the floor, but it was just a foil for the young master.
"Jianghuai, then do you have a demon?"
"No."
"All people have demons, why are you exceptions?"
"The inner demon is a human weakness. I can't have it, nor will it."
"You live... so free and easy!"
I looked at the two people under the tree and couldn't help but sneer in my heart. The little girl was obviously praising him against her will, but I could hear it. How could the young man under the tree not hear it?
But the young man under the tree seemed to have really not heard it, and he didn't say anything when he heard it. Although he didn't hear laughter, I felt that he was smiling.
"Jiang...Jianghuai."
"Miss, Miss...what are you calling?" Yuanyuan looked at the person who was lying on the table and pretending to sleep. She didn't know when she really fell asleep, and was muttering in her dream.
"..." I woke up from the dream and realized that I had not come out of this dream. The paper on the table reads scribblingly: The dream transforms into the demons in the heart of human beings.
"Miss, Madam has just arrived. Seeing you asleep, I didn't disturb you." Yuanyuan walked over and whispered.
"My mother... why are you here?" I was subconsciously nervous. Whether in the past or now, I didn't kiss my mother, and I was even a little afraid of her. She stayed in the ancestral hall all year round, and occasionally came out, and saw me without any color, and was even stranger than strangers.
"Madam comes naturally to give medicinal food to the lady." Yuanyuan looked helpless at me.
"..." Even though I'm in a dream now, I still can't accept it. Some people who have disliked me since childhood suddenly felt kind and gave me medicinal food.
"Miss, you can't burn your brain when you have a fever!" Yuanyuan couldn't help but remember that even when the lady had a fever, she was disturbed by nightmare in her sleep. If the lady hadn't gone to the temple to ask for an amulet, the lady would probably have become a lonely ghost now.
"It is possible that... my mind was in water when I fell into the water." I looked at her with a smile on my head.
"Miss, don't scare me. If you really have a few things..." Yuanyuanqing said sincerely, but as she spoke, she didn't know what to say. What would happen if Luo Yuran had three things? She didn't dare to think that the lady had surpassed the friendship between master and servant, and had kindness to her. If someone harmed the lady, she could save her without hesitation, and she would not let her have three things.
"What are three long and two short? I just fell into a water, but I didn't put it in the oil pan!" I rubbed my itchy nose. I couldn't bear it. She died because of me. No matter whether it was a reality or a dream, she could not have any accidents. There was no good ending in reality, and I should protect her safety in dreams.
Here, it is no longer the sun and the moon to distinguish the time. My body gradually becomes smaller with the changes of time, and the scars on my body slowly disappear. I don’t know when it is now, just like this dream is a play, from morning to night, from beginning to end.
"Yuran, the emperor will allow his family to be brought to you tomorrow. Do you want to go?" My father still looks like he remembers. He never harshly does anything I do, and always cares about my feelings.
"I won't go." I waved my hand. I was in conflict with the royal family and it was the birthday of the imperial concubine, so maybe some kind of moth would make me happen.
"Concubine Qu helped the Luo family back then, and she has watched you grow up since she was a child. She would probably be happy if you go there." Old Master Luo sighed, looking at the person in front of him, his eyes were shallow and mixed with indescribable emotions.
"...Okay." I was stunned. Because my father told me in reality, but he was still young and didn't understand the human relationships and worldly ways. He found a reason to refuse. At that time, my father sighed and stopped mentioning it. Later, Concubine Qu died of illness. My father locked himself in the study. My mother never cared about the affairs of the house. Only I would comfort him. I only remember that his eyes were slightly red in the study. Looking at the new willow that had just pulled out the branches outside the window, I didn't speak for a long time. At that time, I once suspected that my father had been secretly in love with Concubine Qu for many years, but he had no choice but to marry my mother and gave birth to me. My mother had caused many tragedies because my father didn't like me either.
Until later, one day, I saw my father getting angry with my mother under the study window and asked her to pack her luggage and go to Linjiang. That was the first time I saw my mother angry. She swept all the books on my father's table to the ground, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I have been with you for so many years, and I don't ask you to give me anything, but you can't leave even the name on the Luo family tree to me."
I remember I asked my father what the scroll in the ancestral hall was? My father said that it was the Luo Family Genealogy, which records generations of ancestors. When people left this world, they probably left behind the names of the genealogy. However, the Luo Family Genealogy was probably the marriage and offspring of the heads of the family dynasties, and other people could not enter the genealogy.
I remember that day, when I was copying poems and essays in the study, I heard screams and the sound of swords and swords rubbing. As soon as I was about to run out, my father ran in hastily, closed the door, and said to me seriously: "Yuran, now my father tells you a very important thing, you... are not my father's biological daughter, but my father has been treating you like a biological child for so many years. Now something has happened. No matter what sound I hear, I will lie under the table. Don't come out, have you heard it?"
"...Okay." Maybe my father's expression was too stern, maybe my father's words were too sudden, I was stunned for a moment and couldn't understand what he said, but he still nodded calmly.
My father went out at some point, and the sound of fighting was getting closer and closer. There was no light red sandalwood in the air replaced by a strong smell of blood. After all, I didn't listen to my father and crawled out from under the table. As a result, the person who came to search the house noticed it. When he just looked at me with a knife, Yuanyuan rushed out from somewhere to block the fatal knife for me. Perhaps the man was also shocked by the person who suddenly rushed out, giving me an opportunity to take advantage of it. The Jin Wan Liusu, who had been hiding in his sleeve, became a murder weapon and gave the man a fatal blow.
Jin Wan Liusu was originally a hanging decoration worn by her daughter's house, but because I felt it was too monotonous, I inlaid it on a hairpin. I wanted to wear it on my head, but I didn't expect it to be inserted into someone else's chest.
Even though I could calm my mind at that time, the fate of being with me day and night made me panic. How old was I? I was twelve or thirteen? I don’t remember. I only remember that day I looked at two people on the ground, or two corpses, one was to kill me, and the other was to save me. I knelt on the ground and wanted to get up and go out, but my legs seemed to have been taken away by someone, and it became difficult to stand up.
"Sir Luo, the sky in the capital has changed. Don't struggle in vain anymore. You and your wife are very respectful. As long as you hand over her, you can also protect you a complete body." The man's voice was cold and hoarse, and the indescribable evil seemed to come from hell.
I lay under the thick curtain at the door, trying to look at the situation outside, but when I heard the man's voice, I felt a chill on my back, and the last bit of courage to rush out disappeared. It was fear from the heart, fear. I was afraid that I would also turn into a cold corpse...
"The sky in the capital is impermanent, and I, Luo, have been nameless all my life, and I never thought of a good ending."
I heard my father say warmly as usual, as if life and death are just small things in front of him.
"I heard that Mrs. Luo doesn't like her so much. After all, Mrs. Luo sacrificed her child for this wild bastard from outside. The pain of losing her child is probably painful! Why don't you... tell me where you are today and I will help you get rid of her?" The man said with a slight chorus and chuckled.
When I heard his words, I immediately understood who the person he was looking for was! It turned out that my father told me that I was not his biological daughter just to let me escape. His heart, which was originally beating, suddenly fell into his heart and a large invisible stone was pressed on.
"It won't bother you...Ahem, if she is a wild bastard, then what is her noble father?"
I heard this was my mother's voice. Even though she was a little weak, she still remained majestic.
"...Ha, then don't blame me for being merciless. I searched one by one, and no one had to let go..."
This is the last sentence I heard before I was unconscious. I vaguely seemed to see someone walking in from outside with a torch, and then I was completely lost...

I found that I was good at interludes, and I started to recall the killing of memories before I knew it.
