His hand holding the piece of paper tightened a little, trembling faintly, his originally stern and serious eyes sank, and the sadness was visible.
Ji Yunshu saw the change in his expression.
She said, "This person is the old friend you said, right?"
The third master didn't respond.
Continue to look at the woman in the portrait.
After that, Ji Yunshu took out the two square wooden signs.
Handed it to the third master.
"You should know this thing too, right?"
The third master raised his eyes and saw the two overlapping wooden signs in Ji Yunshu's palm, his eyes suddenly shocked, he was extremely surprised, and immediately reached out and took it.
His hands trembled, and his rough fingers rubbed lightly on the pattern of the wooden sign.
Uneven and orderly.
A knife for a moment!
Clearly.
He was all too familiar with this pattern.
It was carved by him knife by knife.
His eyes were wet, and he raised his head and asked Ji Yunshu excitedly, "Why do you have two wooden plaques like this on your body?"
Uh!
When he asked this, Ji Yunshu understood.
"So, you really know what happened back then."
"Tell me, where did you get the other wooden sign?"
eager!
Ji Yunshu said, "This portrait and another wooden plaque were obtained from the Vietnamese who were captured by us."
"he?"
"He told me himself that twenty-one years ago, he woke up in a forest, but he didn't remember anything, except for this portrait and a wooden sign."
The third master trembled.
Something almost fell out of his hands.
He muttered, "Twenty-one years ago? Twenty-one years ago..."
Ji Yunshu: "It's in the woods in the northwest, close to Yicheng. After passing through the woods, you can reach Huyi."
Deliberately emphasized.
After saying this, the third master was stunned, his fingers tightened, and the portrait in his hand was about to be crushed.
At the same time, his body was unstable, he took a few steps back, his eyes were dazed, and he whispered again, "Northwest is far away, Yicheng..."
All the points are almost right.
Seeing him like this, Ji Yunshu was even more certain.
In that incident 21 years ago, the third master not only participated, but maybe... he was also the party involved!
She took a step forward and asked, "Can you tell me what happened back then? Who is the person in the portrait? What does it have to do with me? What does the captured Vietnamese have to do with me? With you... who is it?"
A series of questions hit.
The third master raised his eyes and looked at her.
She was waiting for the answer that came to her mind.
But the third master suddenly called out, "come here!"
The soldiers outside came in, "Third Master?"
He ordered, "Go and bring that Vietnamese man."
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and after glancing at Ji Yunshu, he took his order.
Soon, Bai Yin was brought in, with his hands tied behind his back, unable to move.
In the past few days, people have been bringing him food and water, and some people have even come in to rub his medicine. His health has improved a lot, and his whole body is full of energy.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire camp is very dignified.
When Bai Yin saw the portrait and the two wooden plaques in the hands of the third master, he vaguely seemed to realize something.
It must be related to him!
But how could the third master be involved
Is it also related to the third master
The third master waved at the two soldiers, "go down."
"Yes."
Soldiers leave!
There are only three left!
The third master brought a dagger from the side, walked behind Bai Yin with a cold expression, took out the dagger, quickly cut off the rope tied to his wrist, and threw it on the ground.
Bai Yin's wrist was strangled and bleeding. After he was free, he twisted a few times and clenched his fists a few times to loosen his muscles and bones.
At the same time, the third master walked around from behind him to the front and asked him, "Your name is Bai Yin?"
Bai Yin looked at him, and said "um".
The third master took the portrait and asked him, "Is this portrait and the wooden plaque yours?"
"be mine."
"Where did you get it."
"Always on me!"
"you sure?"
"I don't have to lie."
"I heard that you woke up in a forest, and you don't remember what happened before you woke up?" The third master continued to ask.
Bai Yin frowned, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "It seems you know a lot."
The third master's eyes slowly fell on his arm, and suddenly, he grabbed his arm and rolled up his sleeve.
On his arm, there is an oval black birthmark!
Uh!
The third master's eyes trembled, tears could not be stopped in his eyes, and he looked at Bai Yin's eyes thinly.
"Yes! It does! It's really you? It's really you!"
The third master is very excited!
Bai Yin pulled his hand back.
frowned.
"What do you mean? What do you know?"
The third master sighed. He originally thought that he could hide this secret forever, but in the end, there will be a day when it will be revealed.
He lost his usual serious and stern look, with tears in his eyes, he looked at Ji Yunshu and then at Bai Yin, his Adam's apple rolling for a long time.
Only then did he say: "The woman in this portrait... is your mother."
Uh!
What
your... mother
Ji Yunshu was sure that she heard it right. Although she had prepared and guessed it, she was still shocked when the truth was revealed.
Not only her, but also Bai Yin.
He was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, in disbelief, "What did you say? The person in the portrait... is my mother?"
The third master nodded, "yes, she is your mother."
"… "
Both of them paused for a while.
looked at each other.
Indeed, the eyebrows of the two are inexplicably similar!
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and asked the third master, "What about you? Who are you?" The third master was silent for a while, looking at the object in his hand, and said, "Xi'er and I grew up together since childhood. This portrait was painted for her when she was an adult. I thought I would be able to marry her at that time, but things are unpredictable. Because of the family, she ended up marrying someone else. These two brands I also engraved it for her later. The pattern on it is a flower, which is our unique finger orchid, which represents blessing. I wish her happiness and happiness forever. Not long after, she gave birth to a son who will be One of the wooden signs was given to him, she said
, and when she has another daughter, give her another piece. But who could have imagined that just 21 years ago, civil strife broke out in Huyi, killing everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere. I took a few people to escort your mother all the way to Dalin, but when I passed through that forest, We were separated, and since then, I have never seen her again. I searched all the way, and finally arrived at Hou Liao, and settled here. I didn't expect that her son and daughter were still alive, maybe... this It is God's arrangement. "
