Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 279 Mother

Chapter 279 Mother
Yang Guo's expression changed several times before he finally began to speak slowly.

"Mom, do you remember when I was four years old? I was sick, and you wrapped me in clothes, carried me on your back and rushed dozens of miles to find a doctor overnight. You asked people to open the door one by one, and took care of me for three days and three nights without taking off your clothes. Finally, my fever subsided. I still remember the first thing I saw when I woke up was your swollen eyes."

"I asked you what was wrong with you, and you said you ate two peaches because you were greedy, so you got swollen."

Qin Nanqin's long hair covered half of her face, but the remaining half still looked expressionless.

Yang Kang waved his hand, signaling Yang Guo to continue.

"When I was five years old, I had a fight with Er Laizi, a villager from the village. He relied on his age to cheat and I got my head broken. That was the first time I saw you throwing a tantrum. I rushed to Er Laizi's house and scolded him for an hour. Er Laizi's father and mother couldn't argue with you and said they would pay compensation to settle the matter, but you refused and insisted that Er Laizi admit his fault to me."

"Later, other children in the village were unwilling to play with me, but I was very happy in my heart. My mother chose to take care of my feelings and did not ask Erlaizi's family for money. I was happy even if I had to eat coarse food every day."

Qin Nanqin continued to remain expressionless, as if what Yang Guo said had no effect on her at all.

Yang Guo could only continue talking, and what he talked about were some memorable "little things" that happened in the past between him and his mother.

Most of these little things sounded a little sad, but Yang Guo's face was gradually filled with a smile.

Those bitter past events may sound sad to others, but they are the past that he can never go back to.

"Mom! Do you remember the bean vine we planted? That year, it really grew beans! Every day I could pick a handful from it. When you come home, we'll boil them in water until they're mushy and tender. When the soup is thick, we'll put it on brown rice... It's really delicious!"

As he spoke, Yang Guo subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Perhaps what is delicious is not the simple boiled beans and rice, but the time we spent with our mother, leaning on each other and relying on each other.

Qin Nanqin seemed to have no reaction, but Yang Kang's heart was gradually stirred.

He has always had conflicting views on the relationship between Yang Guo and Qin Nanqin, and even subconsciously denied Qin Nanqin.

But listening to these past events, Yang Kang could even empathize with how difficult it was for a snake catcher who had little ability and no martial arts skills to raise a child.

Yes, at this moment even Yang Kang subconsciously thought that Yang Guo’s mother was Qin Nanqin.

Because he knew Mu Nianci. With Mu Nianci's abilities, even if she was living in poverty, it would not be like this.

You know, back then Yang Tiexin took Mu Nianci to travel around various provinces, looking for Bao Xiruo and Yang Kang under the guise of a martial arts competition, and they walked all the way to Zhongdu, but they did not fail. This is enough to show that Mu Nianci's martial arts are very good. She was also taught by Hong Qigong when she was young. Compared with those top masters in the world, she is nothing, but in the world, she is more than enough to be considered a second-rate person.

A second-rate master, even if he hides his identity, would not live such a miserable life due to his excellent physical fitness.

Yang Guo was obviously completely immersed in it at this moment, and he had forgotten the original intention of narrating these past events.

The Qin Nanqin in front of him also overlapped with Mu Nianci, the mother he identified with.

After a person completely leaves his mother, how far and how long should he go before he can find his mother's arms again?
How much achievement does a person have to make to comfort the pain of wanting to take care of his parents but they are no longer around?
The mother in Yang Guo’s memory was not Qin Nanqin, but he wanted to experience that kind of warmth and temperature again even if he risked his life.

Gradually, Yang Guo's soul floated towards Qin Nanqin and reached out to hug her.

The moment he hugged Qin Nanqin, he subconsciously called out again: "Mom!"

This "mother" is no longer perfunctory, no longer has a purpose, and no longer is false.

It's like the first time a young child learns to call "Mom", like the cry of a child who has been wronged outside and comes home, like the cry of a wanderer who has been away from home for a long time and finally returns home after opening the door.

How many people have left their hometowns, with empty homes, but still return to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year, open the door of their old house, and shout this to the inside of the house?
Qin Nanqin raised her head, and the hair that covered her eyes fell quietly to both sides. All the hostility and resentment on her face disappeared at this moment.

The only response was a loving, "Hey!"

The familiar response made Yang Guo's body tremble. He tried hard to hug Qin Nanqin tighter, but Qin Nanqin's figure turned into invisible streams of light and dissipated.

Between her own existence and protecting her children, she chose the disappearance of herself without reservation.

If her continued existence comes at the cost of hurting Yang Guo, then she will be the first to deny herself.

"mother!"

"mother···!"

Yang Guo stretched out his hand, trying to catch the flowing light that only he could see.

But the fingertips of the soul passed through the flowing light, without any real touch, everything seemed like a dream.

At first I thought it was a nightmare, but isn’t this also a sweet dream?
"No! Don't!" "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I shouldn't... I shouldn't say that!"

"I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"Mother! Take me with you!" Yang Guo grabbed like crazy, but all he could grab was the cold moonlight at this moment.

Qin Nanqin completely disappeared, as if she had never been in this world.

Everything about her is gradually becoming blurred.

The appearance of his mother in Yang Guo's memory lingered between the two faces for a while before returning to its original appearance.

hum!
The small jade sword that had originally fallen back into Yang Guo's arms glowed and pulled Yang Guo's soul back into his body.

At this time, the crisis has been resolved and the fear is gone. The vast true energy flows in Yang Guo's body, quickly warming up his somewhat stiff body.

Drops of tears flowed down Yang Guo's cheeks, but suddenly... he seemed to have forgotten why he was crying.

It seemed like...it seemed like he had a rather long dream.

There was a figure that had been following behind him, watching him silently.

But who... he couldn't remember anymore.

I just feel that the wind tonight seems particularly cold, but before this, the night wind seemed to have never been colder.

"What...what's wrong with me?" Yang Guo looked up blankly at Yang Kang standing beside him.

He still remembered Yang Kang and knew that it was Yang Kang who saved him from an evil old witch.

Yang Kang was also somewhat puzzled, and there was still some melancholy in his heart, but he couldn't remember why!

"Maybe, something has passed through our lives, but we accidentally forgot it!" Yang Kang murmured in a low voice.

Qiu Chuji, who was hanging in the sky and witnessed everything, hid in the clouds and let out a long sigh.

His soul was linked to the Yuxu Bell, so the power of dissipating existence generated when the Xiyi ghost dissipated itself had no effect on him.

He probably became the only person in this world who truly remembered the existence of a Xiyi ghost named Qin Nanqin.

"It seems I was wrong!"

"Although her consciousness was confused and she only had some instincts, her love for her son had never ceased."

"If she hadn't cooperated, I wouldn't have been able to seal her when I first met her."

“Perhaps, she just wanted to use my hand to remove the thorns on her body so that she could get closer to Yang Guo and be close to him for a while.”

Qiu Chuji sighed and shook his head. There was no solution to this problem.

As a Xiyi ghost, Qin Nanqin's existence instinct drives her to do some crazy and irrational actions.

As a mother, she subconsciously hated herself for everything she had done to Yang Guo.

In the end, she chose to disappear, allowing Yang Guo to be free.

Or rather, this was actually her choice from the beginning. In the end, she just wanted to hear Yang Guo call her "mother" sincerely.

With this sound, her life seemed to be enough.

Reaching out and grasping the moonlight, Qiu Chuji lay on the clouds, looking up at the shining stars, and couldn't help but think of the enduring "lie".

Many people say that those who leave will turn into stars, guarding and watching over the people they loved in the distant sky.

But those distant stars!

They are actually all dazzling suns!
