Chapter 140: Wave After Wave - Painful Loss of Parents 2 (Important Plot)
"My father taught me to read and write, and my mother taught me to embroider and make flowers...... They've spoiled me...... I don't eat dumplings during the Mid-Autumn Festival, just to change a moon cake for me......"
"The whole family should insist on making me new clothes every year...... Even if I am cold and hungry, I will not marry someone else as a little wife like other fathers and mothers......"
"My mother is very good to me, she depends on me for everything, and always protects me...... I must grow up quickly and earn more money so that they can have no worries about food and clothing!"
"I want my father and mother to eat moon cakes every year, I want my mother to have countless new clothes, I want to buy them a big house, and I want to give them delicacies from the mountains and seas every day...... yes, I'm going to make money!"
As she spoke, she got up, jumped out of bed without putting on her shoes, and went outside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xiaoyu!" Xiaohu stopped her.
"No!" she struggled desperately, "Get out of the way, don't get in my way!
She glanced at the snow outside the window, suddenly stopped struggling, and her expression gradually became softer.
Seeing this, Xiaohu tentatively let go of her.
I saw her slowly walking two steps to the window, her eyes were confused, "It's snowing outside, I'll see if my father has come back, he went out early, he didn't bring an umbrella, and it was not good to get drenched." ”
Before Xiaohu could react, she walked around the room barefoot and muttered to herself like a little girl, "What about my umbrella, where is my white oil-paper umbrella? That umbrella is good, the pole is made by my father, and the top is cut by my mother." ”
"My mother said that the little girl should have a beautiful oil-paper umbrella, and she will be beautiful when she walks outside on a rainy day...... My mother said that the umbrella in the capital is beautiful, colorful, unlike here, there is only black!"
"Xiaoyu ......" Xiaohu looked at her childlike words, and felt a burst of fear in his heart, and followed her step by step, but he didn't dare to rush up and touch her.
"Where's my umbrella?!" she suddenly crouched down, like a lost little girl. hugged his knees and cried, "Mother, I will never disobey you again." I will no longer secretly go up to the mountains to pick wild tea and sell it for money, and I will never wash clothes with ice water to save firewood. I'm never going to do anything dangerous from you again......"
"Mother, I must listen to your words and take good care of myself! But mother, don't you want me!"
"Daddy, why didn't you write to me? Why didn't you write to me for a month? Are you angry with me? Angry that you raised a daughter who is not angry? Angry that I have disgraced you?"
"Daddy, I didn't, I was drugged, I was framed...... I didn't mean to, Daddy......"
She buried her head in her knees, crying and whispering, and he couldn't hear what she was saying. But I understood the gist.
He couldn't help but feel sad, hugged her in his arms, and patted her gently: "Xiaoyu, Uncle has written to you, and he writes every day." Then have someone bring it back. He didn't want you, he and his aunt were talking about you every day. They didn't want you, no one didn't want you......"
The sobbing girl stopped crying at some point, and she stiffened in her original position, as if she had heard something incredible.
"Xiaoyu?" he looked at her strangely, "what's wrong with you?"
She suddenly looked up and asked incredulously. "You said Daddy writes to me every day, and then send someone to bring it back?"
"yes. ”
"How do you know?"
"After the young master woke up that day, he sent a message home, saying that your father and mother were sent elsewhere by Jiang Kuo, and he said that I would quietly follow them to see where they were, so that you would not be coerced by him after you were rescued from Jiang Mansion in the future. ”
"When I received the letter, I followed him as he said. It seems that because my aunt is not in good health, they can't walk fast, so I caught up in Zhenjiang. That's when ......"
His voice lowered. "I heard that there was a bad disease in that area, and many people moved their families north, and there were a lot of people, and I was mixed in the crowd, and the guards didn't notice me...... Uncle and aunt in the carriage...... Every day I could see my uncle handing letters to the guards. Tell him to give it to you. ”
She hugged her knees and stared at the ground, her whole body tense.
"Then why didn't I receive it?" her voice was cold, frighteningly cold.
"You didn't receive it?" Xiaohu was anxious, as if he was afraid that she would not believe him, and hurriedly promised, "I swear, I did see it, and I heard it, and those letters were written to you! Xiaoyu, you ......"
He wanted to say something, but she interrupted, "Go on, say everything you see." ”
She said that sentence word by word, with a bit of stubbornness and masochism.
Tears fell from her pointed chin and hit the ground one by one. She was indifferent, just staring at the ground in front of her.
He knew she was ready.
"I followed them all the time. There were more and more people going north, and I didn't pay attention to it at first, but then I found that many people in the crowd were coughing, and then some people couldn't walk anymore and were dragged forward by their families. ”
"Someone was crying, someone was moaning, and there was a big stench in the crowd...... I watched and noticed that some of them had ulcerated hands and feet...... It's terrifying. The stench came from these rotten places. I ......"
"Gasp—" She suddenly vomited.
"Xiaoyu!" Xiaohu anxiously went to help her, only to find that she was already pale and tear-stained.
"Little Jade ......"
"No," she sobbed silently, but refused his comfort, "don't stop, keep talking!"
"Little Jade ......"
"My parents, infected with this disease, aren't they?" she grabbed him and shouted, "Don't stop, keep talking!"
"Xiaoyu ......" he also began to cry, "yes, they ......"
He couldn't bear to say anything more about what they were like after they were infected......
But what she could guess was that she had faintly heard Lin Yuan talk about some infectious diseases, and she had read some of them in books, and he could imagine the pain of the sick people, and more importantly, ...... This infectious disease is currently incurable!
Her cry finally overflowed, and even biting her lip tightly didn't help, "And later...... Didn't they save Daddy?"
"There seems to be a ...... They seem to have sent someone back to call for some kind of doctor, but the man never came back......"
Her cry was louder, but it was faintly mixed with hatred!
It's him! They want to invite a Chinese doctor! But why doesn't he allow it? Why don't you let people go?!
He withheld her letter because he didn't want her to know!
"Later, when it was delayed until it entered the Jiangdu, the guards in the city began to check and did not allow infected people to enter......
"At that time, my uncle and aunt were so sick that I couldn't go out and move around every day. When it comes to inventory. The Jiang family seemed to give money to the guards, but the guards refused to let them go. ”
"Somehow I started to do it, and the crowd became noisy at this time, and everyone took advantage of the chaos to crowd into the city gates...... The carriage was squeezed forward. ”
"I tried to get close to their carriage. But I saw my uncle suddenly stick out his head, and there was an ulcer on his neck, and pus was everywhere...... When he saw me, he didn't ask anything, and he hurriedly stuffed this to me. ”
Just a moment later, the horse was frightened and ran forward...... I was about to chase after it, but I was stopped by the soldiers defending the city...... Far away, I heard your father shouting, he said he must give the letter to Yu'er......"
When the guards turned back, the carriage was gone, and they searched everywhere. I followed, and I saw ...... Because the imperial court was afraid that the disease would continue to spread, the people who entered the city that day were infected with the disease...... Locked up in one place and set fire to ......"
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu......" he went to help her. "Speak, Xiaoyu!"
She bit her lip tightly and trembled, "So my father and mother were burned to death, didn't they?"
Before Xiaohu could answer, she suddenly looked up at him. The expression was tragic, "After suffering from the pain of ulceration all over my body, the stench all over my body, and the pain of poor breathing, but no one healed him, I was burned alive in despair, right?"
"Xiaoyu ......" He was so stupid that he didn't know how to comfort her. will only call her anxiously over and over again, coaxing her over and over again, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of you, don't be afraid of ......"
"Get out!!" she pushed him away. "Get out! Why don't you save them! You can save them!"
"Why didn't you let the doctor go?!Why?!Just because I betrayed you, so you punished my parents like this?!"
"You did it on purpose! You did it on purpose! You knew there was an epidemic there and let them go! You received their letters but didn't give them to me! You could have sent Dr. Hua to save them, but you didn't!"
"What are you doing?!Are you marrying a relative!Are you marrying a little wife!Are you marrying a virtuous and virtuous Shen Niannian! You killed them! It's you! You are an executioner! You devil! You disgusting man! I hate you!"
"Xiaoyu ......" He looked at her at a loss, at first he thought she was scolding him, but gradually he realized that she was scolding others.
"Jiang Kuo, you disgusting man!" she suddenly looked at the door viciously, "You despicable villain who is behind the ghost!I want to kill you!!!Kill you!!Kill you!!"
He followed and looked at the door, but there was no one.
"Little Jade ......"
"Get out of the way!" she suddenly stood up and walked around the house, "give me something, give me one! sticks, knives, stones, whatever, I'll kill him!"
"Xiaoyu ......" He followed her distressed and helpless, for fear that she would hurt himself.
Luckily, she couldn't find anything.
The clean room was simply furnished, a bed, a chair, a table, a wardrobe for clothes, and a guqin that she had taken into the bedroom at some point......
Guqin? Yes, Guqin! It's the guqin he sent!
She suddenly walked towards the lyre and picked it up.
"Xiaoyu!" he was surprised by her sudden movements, and before he could stop it, he saw her lift the piano above her head, and with all her strength, she smashed it down.
"Knock!!!" The harp slammed into the ground with a loud thud, and the muffled sound of seven strings being plucked out of order.
ps:
Isn't it refreshing for everyone to sit alone in the empty library, eat some bread when you're hungry, and drink some boiling water when you're thirsty. It's so pathetic! Why don't I add more? I'm saving the summer draft. Shuishui is very hard, but Shuishui is slow.
