In early autumn, the dense drizzle is drizzling non-stop, and a gust of wind blows, making it even cooler.

A large courtyard in Hewan Village is very conspicuous, the front is a blue brick house, there is a stone wing house in the east and west, and the west wing is relatively narrow, which looks a little depressed in this courtyard.

The upper room is arranged in a regular manner, the side by the south window is a large kang, a small kang cabinet with four doors at the top of the kang, the cabinet is stacked neatly with bedding, next to the kang cabinet is a pair of mahogany boxes, the side is a wooden wardrobe, and one side by the north window is a set of eight immortal tables and chairs that are not new or old.

At this time, kneeling in the middle of the ground was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xuan family, Liu, who was dressed in coarse cloth clothes and hung with a few patches, her abdomen was high and bulging, and she could see that she was pregnant with Liujia, and her hair was tightly pulled up with a wooden hairpin, which was very messy at this time.

The woman was crying so heartbreakingly that she could no longer see her true face, and she was still holding a little girl in her early ten years old who was soaked wet.

Kneeling on the side was Xuan Wentao, the son of the Xuan family, he was also wet, but he was born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was upright at a glance, at this time he was already in tears: "Mother, please, find a Lang Zhong for Miao'er and take a look." ”

There are also two boys next to this couple, the eldest is fourteen-year-old Xuan Anrui, the second oldest boy in the third generation of the Xuan family, and acquaintances call him Xuan Erlang. The youngest seven-year-old Xuan Anhao, known as Xuan Shiro, is not well dressed, but they are both clean and tidy.

The two brothers kept kowtowing to the ground: "Ask grandmother to find a man for my sister (sister)." ”

On a small cushion on the kang head, the old lady sitting cross-legged is the grandmother of the family, Ma, who is not young, but she is wearing a red oblique satin shirt, with a silver hairpin on her head, and her face seems to be powdered, white like a ghost, and her face has no expression.

When he spoke, he didn't even seem to have touched the muscles of his mouth, and his voice was cold: "Although I am a stepmother, but I have never treated you badly with my conscience over the years, that wonderful girl stole silver to buy drawing paper, I was a grandmother but said a few words, and she jumped into the river, which made outsiders see that they didn't know how to say that I abused you, the water in her stomach was drained, whether she could survive was up to herself, what is the use of inviting Langzhong." ”

After saying a few words, Ma's expression still hasn't changed, people can't see joy and anger, her youngest daughter Xuan Baozhu is sitting next to her, fifteen or sixteen, she looks a little like her, and she is also a big white face with powder, she didn't make a sound, and she looked impatient with cold eyes.

Liu held his stomach, looked at the child in his arms who couldn't hold it, and cried: "Mother, don't wronged Miao'er, Miao'er took my dowry bracelet to be a painting paper, not stolen silver." ”

Xuan Anrui, who was beside him, was worried that his mother would not be able to hold his sister, so he used his hand to help Liu support the girl's thin body.

At this time, Xuan Miao'er, who was lying in the woman's arms, just felt a splitting headache, and she didn't know where she was for a while, what happened, what was wrong with her?

She remembers that she accompanied her mentor to participate in an ancient painting exhibition today, and she was a proud student of her mentor when she was in school.

Many exhibitions do not allow taking pictures, and the tutor will pull her up and let her look at it for a long time, and how can she copy it when she comes back.

It's been a few years of work, but the relationship with the mentor is still like that, today's mentor is optimistic about the treasure map of a parchment scroll, only one of them, but the mentor just likes it, this is not today, when she returned home, she began to copy the treasure map to the tutor overnight, but she was very tired and fell asleep, how did she get here when she woke up again?

She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were very heavy, since she couldn't open them, she couldn't move, so she would lie down for a while, maybe she would go back after sleeping, maybe it was just a dream.

But soon this idea was rejected by her, because the woman holding her and the two boys next to her were shaking her, making her feel a little dizzy.

"I think this girl is out of gas, so young or a girl can't enter the main grave, after a while it gets dark, the eldest brother and sister-in-law hurriedly find a mat for her to roll up, throw it back to the mountain, save bad luck. A woman's thick voice came, this dark-skinned and tall woman was the fourth daughter-in-law, Wang.

"Our Miao'er is still hot, we can't die, fourth brother and sister, don't talk nonsense. The woman holding Xuan Miao'er roared with a crying voice, but she didn't use so much force that she wasn't half as loud as Wang's voice.

At this time, a small eye leaning on the edge of the table of the Eight Immortals, a man with a thin figure but decent clothes, smacked his lips: "Yo, sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law is also telling the truth, how long has this been fished up from the river, and it should be hard after a while." Xuan Wenxin, the fourth elder of the Xuan family, said coldly.

There are two and a half sons around Xuan Wenxin, the one with the thief eyebrows and rat eyes is San Lang Xuan Anben, and the one with two snots hanging over his mouth is Golang Xuan Anxu, both of whom are Xuan Wenxin's sons, and the two children laughed heartlessly, as if they were watching a play.

Xuan Miao'er was a little worried that she would never wake up again, and she would really be thrown back into the mountain, and she used all her strength to move her fingers slightly.

This tiny action was caught by Xuan Lianrui, and he took Xuan Miaoer's hand and shouted: "My sister is doing it, my sister is not dead." ”

As soon as he shouted like this, the family on the ground became excited, and they cried with joy around Xuan Miao'er.

At this time, there was a flustered footsteps outside the door, and then an eager voice: "Big brother, I went to the second uncle's house to find my father, and invited Li Langzhong to Miao'er, let Langzhong show Miao'er." Xuan Wenjiang ran in with a medicine box on his back, followed by Old Man Xuan.

Old Man Xuan was dressed in a clear cloth shirt, although it was worn out but there were no patches, his face was full of anger at this time, and he pointed to Ma Shi on the kang and asked angrily: "This kid is like this, if it wasn't for the second child to find me, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing happened." ”

Ma Shi was still expressionless, and moved his mouth: "I didn't throw her into the river." ”

That Li Langzhong frowned and didn't speak, put down the medicine box, and came to see Xuan Miao'er first. He checked the pulse, looked at Xuan Miao'er's eyes and mouth again, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, it's just that this child is too weak, I'll prescribe a few medicines first, and this child will have to make up for it in the future." ”

Xuan Wentao's family hurriedly thanked Li Langzhong, Li Langzhong looked at such a wolf family, and his heart was also pitiful, this stepmother is not as good as her own mother after all, looking at the clothes of this Xuan Lao, and then looking at the clothes of other people, it is self-evident.

and the second Xuanwenjiang who is blind in one eye is in his thirties, and he is still a single, if it weren't for the stepmother who let the four-year-old Xuanwenjiang feed the chickens, she couldn't let the rooster be blind in one eye, but he is an outsider, so he can only pay less for medical expenses, so that they can be scolded by Ma less.

Hearing this, Old Man Xuan hurriedly responded: "Thank you Li Langzhong, then hurry up and prescribe the medicine, I will let the second child grab the medicine immediately." ”

Li Langzhong sat on the edge of the table of the Eight Immortals, wrote a prescription, and handed it to Xuan Wenjiang, he also knew that if this prescription was given to others, it was estimated that the medicine might not be able to catch it all, and the two brothers in this family could help each other.

Old Man Xuan looked at Ma Shi on the kang: "Hurry up and get the silver for the second child and go get the medicine." ”
