Chapter 700 The First Floor in the World
He held Xia Zihan's hand tightly and followed the guardians on the left and right. They walked for a while before arriving in front of a bamboo building.
Above the gate of the bamboo building, there is a plaque with five characters written on it, "The No. 1 Building in the World".
It's majestic, thunderous, and makes people subconscious
Guardian Zuo said, "You guys wait here, let's go and report to the Lord first."
Chu Jingqi hummed, and the guardians walked to the door of the bamboo building, bowed respectfully, and said inside, "Your Majesty, Yun (Lei) has come to ask for an audience."
As soon as the sound fell, the door of the bamboo building was opened, and a little girl in her teens walked out. The little girl held up her skirt, ran down, and shouted with a smile, "Guardian Yun, Protector Lei, you are back, Lord!" Wait in the room, come in quickly.”
The guardians on the left and right entered the house. Within a moment, the guardian on the right came out and called Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan to come in.
Xia Zihan always felt that the way Protector You looked at Chu Jingqi was weird, weird and peculiar. Subconsciously, she felt a little more wary.
But when she saw the woman in the living room, who was as beautiful as a fairy in flowing white clothes, she subconsciously exclaimed, "Mom, why are you here?"
After saying that, it felt wrong.
"No, you are not my mother, you... you are... Oh my god, why do you look so similar?" Xia Zihan stared at the woman in front of him who looked exactly like Mr. Zhuo, and was so shocked that he was speechless.
And Chu Jingqi was no less shocked than she was.
If Xia Zihan hadn't called her mother first, he would have shouted out, but soon, he discovered that the woman in front of him was not his mother, and she had a different temperament from his mother.
Although the two look exactly the same, their temperaments are completely different.
Although Ms. Zhuo is not young, she is very lively, active, and carefree. She likes to laugh and make fun of people. When she is around, it will not be too quiet.
The woman in front of her is elegant, quiet, cool and refined, which is different from Zhuo's temperament. She also wears clothes. Except for the cloak and cloak, Zhuo doesn't like to wear pure white clothes. However, although the woman in front of her is the first time she has met. , but Chu Jingqi has a strong affirmation that she likes to wear white dresses.
It's winter now, the ground is freezing and the wind is howling. Although there is a stove burning in the house and the temperature is low, the woman is only wearing a thin autumn skirt.
Mrs. Zhuo has always been afraid of the cold. Every winter, she wants to sit on the hot kang without moving. This is a bit like Xia Zihan.
When the woman saw Chu Jingqi, she didn't have a big reaction. After all, although Chu Jingqi and Zhuo were somewhat imaginary, they were not as imaginative as the woman and Zhuo. The two of them were just like being printed from the same mold.
The woman's expression was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. It wasn't until Xia Zihan screamed that her eyes trembled a few times. There seemed to be surprise and excitement in her eyes, but soon she regained her composure and looked at To Chu Jingqi, "Are you the famous General Chu?"
"Yes."
Facing a face that looked exactly like her mother's, Chu Jingqi's attitude became more respectful, and she even bowed and saluted.
Just when he was about to ask her why she looked exactly like his mother, the woman looked at Xia Zihan again and asked, "Then you are his wife, Princess Chuyu?"
Xia Zihan hummed, without looking away from the woman's face, and asked her curiously, "Who are you? How come you look exactly like my mother-in-law? Are you...are you relatives?" She had heard Mrs. Zhuo said that she had been lost since she was a child, and was later picked up by her adoptive father. At that time, Mrs. Zhuo was already three or four years old, and she still had some memories in her mind. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have twins. elder sister.
Could it be that the woman in front of me is Zhuo's twin sister?
"You said that your mother-in-law looks exactly like me?" The woman's eyes were a little moist, full of surprise and excitement, but more importantly, her voice revealed too much vicissitudes of life.
"Yes, they are exactly the same." Xia Zihan nodded.
At this time, she remembered the conversation when Protector Left and Right met Chu Jingqi for the first time. It turned out that Protector Left and Right had doubts about Chu Jingqi's identity, so she kindly brought him to meet the owner of the No. 1 building in the world.
The woman's tears flowed out.
The beauty shed tears, which aroused great pity. The right guardian shouted worriedly, "My lord..."
"You guys go down, I want to talk to them two," the woman said.
The guardians on the left and right looked at each other and both went down worriedly.
The guardians left and right left, and the little girl waiting in the room also retreated smartly and closed the door for them.
The woman asked Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi to sit down, and then said, "In our Shui family, every generation will give birth to one or two pairs of twins. When it comes to my father and uncle's generation, my aunt only gave birth to one son, and my mother only gave birth to one son." Although we were both girls, our parents did not look down upon us at all.”
"When I was four years old, the chief helmsman of the No. 1 Building in the World was found by the enemy. The enemy attacked us while my father and uncle were not around. My mother was killed by the enemy in order to protect us. My aunt also wanted to delay time and let the hall go. My brother ran for his life, but when he was about to die, he clung to his enemy’s feet and was stabbed through the heart by his sword.”
"When the first elder and the second elder arrived, my mother and aunt were both dead. They held each other in their arms and tried their best to save us two sisters."
"The second elder was seriously injured. Before he could hand his sister over to my father and second uncle, he died on the way and his sister was lost."
That enemy attack was the first time in the hundreds of years since the establishment of the First Building under Heaven that there were heavy casualties. In addition to her mother and aunt, hundreds of killers in the building also died at the hands of the enemy because they protected them.
Later, although her enemy was killed by her father and uncle, her mother and aunt never survived, and the hundreds of brothers in the building all died miserably.
Also, her cousin, who was one year older than her, also disappeared that time.
If...if that incident hadn't happened, wouldn't the subsequent incidents also have happened?
Then she...then she wouldn't have fallen in love with her cousin by accident, and...in the end,...forced her cousin away herself.
When the woman thought of the only man she had ever loved deeply in her life, she closed her eyes in grief.
Such deep pain made it impossible for her to be happy or laugh in her life, even if she was about to find her long-lost sister.
If she had pretended not to know and just lived her whole life with him in such a vague way, would she not have to live in hell today?
