Chapter 314: Death from illness
Autumn is about to begin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Kong Hai studied more diligently, and the Zhou family of three rooms and two people also worked hard and fully supported. No matter what reason Yuxue came to ask for silver, they wouldn't ask more.
Li took Yuxue to Mingquan Temple to worship the Bodhisattva, gritted his teeth, and donated five taels of sesame oil money. Yuxue watched the little master take away five taels of silver with a smile, and her heart was dripping blood. But thinking about the days when he wore gold and silver, and hugged him as soon as he went out, he gritted his teeth and looked away.
When she walked out of the temple gate, she was blown by the cold wind, and her heart suddenly stirred: When did she start to feel so distressed even for five taels of silver? In the past, she used to buy snacks for ten taels of silver, and her heart was just trembling.
When I think of the past, I naturally think of Evian's idiot. At the same time, I also remembered Lan Xin. Looking at the pilgrims who were struggling to climb the mountain from the foot of the mountain, a strange smile rose on the corner of her mouth: After Kong Hai High School this time, she will go to the capital with him. And Lan Xin and Evian are like these people under the mountain, prostrate at their feet. Isn't the Yu family rich? Let the Yu family's money be used for their own use.
The third master of the Zhou family was not idle, he ran to all the shops in Jiangzhou, and finally bought the exam supplies that he was satisfied with. When he happily took his things home, he happened to meet Li and Zhou Yuxue, who were smiling on their faces, and came back from worshipping the Bodhisattva.
The family exchanged their gains for the day and walked home with a smile. But when they reached the door, the smiles on the faces of the three people froze. His eyes widened in disbelief at the string of paper hanging by the door, and the white cloth tied around the door. Li Shi looked left and right uncertainly, and stammered and asked, "I ・・・・・ we ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・ or not, did we go wrong?"
Before the two people beside him could speak, Kong Mei, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked out. Seeing the three people standing at the door was like seeing a savior. As he ran, he shouted: "Sister-in-law, you are finally back, our father・・・・・ our father is gone・・・・・・・" As soon as the words fell, he cried sadly.
"Impossible, impossible. Zhou Yuxue stood there stunned, letting Kong Mei pounce on her, muttering in her mouth, "How is it possible? When I left in the morning, I went to see his old man's house, he was obviously fine, why did he just say that he would leave? No, he won't go, there must be something wrong, you must be mistaken!" The last sentence almost roared out, pushed away Kong Mei who was blocking in front, pulled his legs and ran towards the yard. In panic, he shouted "Dad!"
"Yes, yes, Sister Xue is right, there must be something wrong, it must be like this. A good person, how can you say that you can just leave?" the third master of the Zhou family dropped the things in his hand and rushed into the courtyard desperately.
"It's true, it's true. Seeing that she didn't believe in herself, Kong Mei grabbed Li's arm and shook it desperately, "Auntie, you believe me, my father is really gone." My mother is still waiting for you to take the silver and give my father a funeral!"
"Get up!" Li Shi pushed Kong Mei away vigorously, and scolded angrily, "What a white-eyed wolf, your father raised you so big for nothing." He cursed your father. With a muttering mouth, he hurried into the courtyard.
"Really, really, what I said was true. Kong Mei lay on the ground and shouted hoarsely. She was telling the truth, so why didn't anyone believe her? A kind person helped her up, and she wiped her tears as she walked out into the courtyard.
The people standing around to watch the excitement were moved to tears by the scene in front of them. "I don't usually think that this family gets along so well!" said one of them.
"Yes, yes! You see that the old man of the Kong family is gone, and the daughter-in-law and in-laws are sad, and we can't help but shed tears when we look at it. Someone else chimed in.
Whether they want to believe it or not, the old man of the Kong family is still gone. Because of filial piety, Kong Hai naturally failed to participate in the autumn festival two days later. Since the old man of the Kong family left, Mrs. Kong sat there in a daze all day long, without saying a word, and even without a drop of water. Kong Mei fed the porridge to her mouth, and she would barely eat a few bites.
Looking at her daughter with an anxious face, Mrs. Kong stroked Kong Mei's face with her dry hands, her cloudy eyes were full of love and reluctance, her lips kept squirming, and she didn't say anything in the end.
Kong Mei also hugged her thin body with tears in her eyes, and choked up: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Dad is gone, you can't have anything to do!" Mrs. Kong didn't know what to remember, tore Kong Mei's arm away, pushed her away hard, turned around and trembled into the house. "Mother, mother・・・・・" No matter how Kong Mei shouted, she didn't look back at her.
Suddenly, one night, Mrs. Kong walked into Kong Mei's room with a piece of white silk. Raising his hand and gently stroking Kong Mei's face, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. lowered his eyes, tied the white silk in his hand to Kong Mei's neck, and dragged it like crazy, with a posture of not giving up if Kong Mei was strangled to death.
Kong Mei woke up in her sleep, but unfortunately she couldn't shout anything. She tugged hard at the white silk around her neck with both hands, and her body kept writhing, struggling desperately. It's a pity that Mrs. Kong is ruthless, and she can't pull half a point with Kong Mei's strength. During the writhing, the kettle in the house was kicked to the ground.
The sound of shattering finally alarmed the rest of the courtyard. After everyone rushed into the room, the old lady of the Kong family still desperately pulled the white silk in her hand. The crowd pulled her away. Her confused eyes finally had focus, looking at the red and purple marks on Kong Mei's neck, and there was already blood in some places. Look at the dying thin little body.
Mrs. Kong pounced with a "whoop", hugged Kong Mei's thin body in her arms, and cried.
The third master of the Zhou family said "bad luck!", flicked his sleeves, turned around and left. Li didn't want to stay there either, so he took a sip in disgust and turned to leave. After Zhou Yuxue waited for the old lady of the Kong family to cry, she instructed Yanhong to fetch water and wait for their mother and daughter to wash their faces and hands.
Everything was calm, and Kong Mei returned to bed, because she was afraid in her heart, she dragged Yuxue to death and refused to let go. Yan Hong and Kong Hai helped the old lady of the Kong family back to the room. It is said that when the old lady returned, she fell asleep quietly, but never thought about it again.
