Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 421

Hearing Guan Yuanhe's words, Hui'an wrapped Guan Yuanhe's waist with a slight smile, leaned into his arms, and said softly, "You must have been very young at that time, right?"

Guan Yuanhe had two elder brothers who were of the same mother. The elder brother died when he was only four years old, but the second elder brother did not live past the age of six.Guan Yuanhe's mother, Mrs. Gu, had given birth to three legitimate sons five years after she married into the Guan Mansion. Although the first two children were unable to support her, she was once praised by the noble ladies in the capital.Guan Yuanhe and his second brother are two years apart, and he was only four years old when his second brother passed away. How much memory can a four-year-old child have for his brother?Therefore, Hui'an was slightly surprised when he heard that Guan Yuanhe talked about his second brother in a reminiscence and trance tone.

"Well, I was less than four years old at that time, and my brother was only six years old. Because I was suffering from a strange disease, and the abbot of Qixia Temple at that time was empty and the abbot had excellent medical skills, so my mother took our brothers to live on the mountain all year round. My elder brother healed his illness, and when he came again, he wanted to get closer to the place of Buddha and God, so that he could get shelter, and second elder brother You would recover soon, but it was impossible..." Guan Yuanhe seemed to think of something unpleasant, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes also suddenly Sen went cold.

Hui'an was listening quietly and suddenly felt that Guan Yuanhe's body froze, and the arm on her waist was exerted for a while, almost strangling her out of breath.She was suspicious in her heart, although she never looked back at the expression on Guan Yuanhe's face, she could vaguely feel his emotional ups and downs, she didn't dare to intervene, she just gently raised her hand and wrapped it around his big palm and stroked it twice Guan Yuanhe seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, relaxed a little, rubbed Hui An's hair slightly, and continued: "Second brother often took me here to play without telling my mother. We were still young at that time. I just feel that the bamboo forest is so big and boundless. Although there is only one bamboo, it is full of fun, and I can't get enough of it. In fact, the second brother was already seriously ill at that time, and he was lying on the hospital bed for ten hours every day. , I have seen my mother crying alone in the middle of the night many times, and my second brother took me out to play, how could my mother not know? Every time my mother followed us from afar, but never let my second brother find out, so I just I don't know... At that time, I didn't quite understand why my mother always followed us but never came out. After growing up, I realized that my mother wanted to make my second brother happier, and she didn't want to hold him in his last days and let him I don't feel free..."

Guan Yuanhe's tone was extremely calm, his slightly deep voice echoed in the bamboo forest, but Hui'an heard a bit of sourness from it, she raised her head slightly unconsciously, and put her cheek on Guan Yuanhe's scalding neck, allowing him to feel it more clearly. Seeing her existence and dependence, he asked, "What's wrong with Second Brother?"

Feeling Hui An's small movements, Guan Yuanhe's heart warmed slightly, he folded his arms unconsciously, and said: "It's a very strange disease, with that disease, it's very difficult to fall asleep, even if you fall asleep, you will definitely have nightmares, non-stop I have nightmares, and I can't find peace for a moment. The nightmares are getting more and more severe, and it becomes more and more difficult to fall asleep. Even taking sleeping potions doesn't help. The six-year-old child is growing up, so he can't sleep day and night. Without peace, after a long time, the body will be empty, skinny, and the body will gradually become thinner and thinner, and finally dragged to death... Now that I think about it, I have already forgotten the facial features of the second brother, but I clearly remember the skinny body."

Hui'an was startled, she never thought that such a domineering disease existed in this world, she couldn't imagine the feeling of seeing her relatives being tortured day by day until they were wiped out to death.Hui'an was speechless for a while, Guan Yuanhe stopped talking. After a long time, Hui'an raised his head slightly and said: "I have also heard about the medical skills of presiding over Kong. I heard that it can bring the dead back to life. Even he can't help it?"

"The host can't diagnose and cure what kind of disease it is, so he can only delay the disease. With the golden needle piercing technique of the host, it can keep the second brother from sleeping for a while, but later, no matter how deep the golden needle is inserted, it is useless. , the second brother passed away and the mother lost her two sons. She was very sad, and her body collapsed, so she lived on this mountain and was treated by Kong Li for nearly a year. Speaking of which, I have lived here for nearly three years..."

Less than a year after Guan Yuanhe's second elder brother died of illness, his mother Gu Shi also passed away. Hui'an always felt that Guan Yuanhe was still young at that time, so he didn't have a deep impression of them, but now he heard a deep feeling from his words. With nostalgia and pain, she unconsciously ached in her heart, hugging Guan Yuanhe back and listening to his powerful heartbeat, quietly absorbing each other's warmth.

She had noticed that Guan Baize was not mentioned in Guan Yuanhe's words.The son had this strange disease, and the medicine stone died. How sad and painful the wife must be. Could it be that he, the father and husband, was not by his side?It's no wonder that Guan Yuanhe and his father seem to be separated by a layer of ice. A four-year-old child is just sensible. At that time, it is the age that needs love and care, but the four-year-old him deeply remembers the figure of his brother and mother. Deep in his mind, this also shows how important their position in his mind is.

Thinking of the loss of her mother in her early years, being alone and helpless, being murdered by her father and stepmother, Hui An felt the heartache and pain for Guan Yuanhe.Guan Yuanhe had lost his mother's protection earlier than her, and he had an irresponsible father like Guan Baize. He was still so young at that time, and lost two close relatives. How did he survive...

Thinking about it, Hui An's heart ached so much that she couldn't help but asked again: "Did my mother pass away early because of being too sad? You must have been very sad at that time..."

Before she finished speaking, Guan Yuanhe's arm tightened suddenly again, Hui An only felt that the body on which her back was leaning was as hard as iron, and she didn't feel her heart skip a beat.Sensing Guan Yuanhe's violent emotional changes behind her, she didn't dare to speak or move any more, she just pressed her body more softly against him, embedded in his arms, hoping to give him comfort and strength.I don't know how long it has been like this, until Hui An only felt that a pair of arms had been strangled by Guan Yuanhe, and then he slowly released the force that restrained her, still speaking in that low but gentle tone.

"Mother...she was forced to death by her father! She was even killed by my own hands!"

Guan Yuanhe spoke the last few words very lightly, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, those words fell in Hui An's ears like thunder, and made her freeze unconsciously, she could only instinctively He tightened his grip around Guan Yuanhe's waist, and raised his hand to gently pat his chest, which was heaving violently due to emotion.
