Chapter Twenty-Seven: The First Taste
Ling Yun left the three bloody dying people in the early morning and returned to the city.
Lingyun didn't want to be discovered by the people who got up in the morning, so he froze the world, and he was the only one walking in this static world, and there was no one on the county street in the early morning.
Passing through the city gate that had just opened, Ling Yun came to a coffin shop in the city, the door panel had not yet been opened, but all the space in this world, for Ling Yun, could be unfolded like layers of paintings, he easily opened the picture scroll of a layer of door panels, and entered the coffin shop, there were more than a dozen coffins in the shop, Ling Yun chose a pair of high-grade Nanmu coffins, rolled them up like a picture scroll and carried them on his body, leaving a thousand taels of silver as silver money to pay for the coffin.
Coming to the cramped and smelly alley, Ling Yun couldn't bear to see the scene of this tragic death, put the cold body of the proprietress into the coffin, and walked all the way to the barren mountain outside the city, where countless graves were buried.
Ling Yun found a vacant lot, dug a deep pit, buried the coffin containing the body of the proprietress, and used a wooden board to stand in front of the grave as a tombstone, he did not know the real name of the proprietress, and the wooden board could only be empty.
Everything happened in the moment when the world was at a standstill, and for Ling Yun, being busy was equivalent to a whole day in the world.
Then everything returned to normal, Ling Yun was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, dragging his tired steps back to the county office.
The reason why he didn't want others to find the body of the proprietress was just to maintain the dignity of a woman after she died, and he didn't want to see her naked clothes displayed in front of the world, and let her be examined.
The gate of the county government was closed and silent.
In this world, Ling Yun can treat everything as a picture scroll, and the tall wall suddenly becomes a flat plane, easily stepping over and entering the county office.
When I came to the backyard, it was also empty, quiet like an uninhabited abandoned yard.
When he came to the study, the chaise longue was empty, Ling Yun sighed, sure enough, the woman with watery poplar flowers was unreliable! It seems that the concubine Xuezhu had already fled with gold and silver.
Originally, a package full of gold and silver jewelry that was thrown on the couch was also missing at this moment, Ling Yun became angry, this woman was too greedy, and she didn't keep any gold or silver for herself.
Ling Yun was busy all day, extremely sleepy, although he was slightly angry at Xuezhu and escaped, but he had no intention of chasing it back, after all, he had generously promised her before, and he would not pursue her wherever she went, the so-called gentleman was difficult to chase after him, he just scolded himself, don't pretend to be so forced next time.
"Bang-" Ling Yun leaned back, lying heavily on the chaise longue, his head hit the hard board, made a muffled sound, covered the back of his head in pain, and scolded: "This snow bead, even the soft pillow on the chaise longue has been swept away, it's too much!"
Unexpectedly, Xuezhu's voice came from under the chaise lony: "My lord, are you back?"
Ling Yun hurriedly lifted the chaise longue, only to see a tear-stained beauty showing her face in the dark under the couch, and said aggrievedly: "My lord, you are finally back!" Xuezhu slammed into Ling Yun's arms.
Ling Yun comforted her and said, "Why are you hiding in such a narrow place as the dark compartment to sleep?"
Xuezhu cried out with a "wow", waved her little fist and beat it again and again, and said angrily: "I didn't see you come back last night, such a big yard, so many people died, and I was alone in the middle of the night, and I was scared to death! ”
The soft pillows and quilts on the chaise longue were all taken to the dark by the snow beads and padded under him.
Ling Yun kissed her fair cheek a few times and said, "Don't you know that? ”
Xuezhu was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you scared of?"
Ling Yun smiled: "I thought you ran away with the money, aren't you scared to death?"
Xuezhu said angrily: "Then you said yesterday that I would move the gold and silver, and you don't care where you go, it turned out that you were bragging! Fortunately, I stayed to help you look at the vault and didn't escape, otherwise even if you fled to the ends of the earth, you wouldn't be hunted down and killed every day?"
Ling Yun laughed, stretched out his fingers, gently scratched her nose, and said, "If I chase you, it will never be to kill you, it must be a pity to lose such a beauty, I want to chase it back and have a good meal!"
Xuezhu grinned, "That's pretty much it. ”
Suddenly, Xuezhu lost her smile on her face, and said sadly: "It's a pity that I'm no longer a virgin, you just talk about it, at most it's fresh for a while, I'm afraid you'll dislike me for being a broken flower." ”
Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, then hugged her tightly and said, "How come, you are only eighteen years old, even if it is just fresh, it will be fresh for a lifetime." ”
Xuezhu burst into tears and said, "Eighteen years old is an old girl, and you don't know." ”
Ling Yun was happy in his heart, and said to himself: "It turns out that in this world, a woman is eighteen years old, even if she is old, thinking about my original world, even if she is not married at the age of thirty, it is nothing, it is really very different!"
He comforted: "I won't dislike you, I'm not the kind of old-fashioned person, besides, ......"
Ling Yun originally wanted to say, "Say it again...... I can marry a wife and take many concubines, as long as you are beautiful and lovely, I love you everywhere. He suddenly thought that this sentence might provoke a slap in the face, so it was better not to say it.
Xuezhu blinked her big watery eyes and asked, "What do you say again?" ”
Ling Yun said: "Besides, as long as you are virtuous, it doesn't matter if you are everywhere." ”
Xuezhu cried out again with a "wow", crying even louder, and said: "I'm the kind of woman who is not virtuous at all, you really don't like women like me!"
Ling Yun was amused by her and said, "Where are you not virtuous?"
Xuezhu sobbed: "That woman is virtuous, at least she should be virtuous." ”
"The three subordinates are the unmarried from the father, the married from the husband, and the husband from the son. When I married Wang Sancheng, I didn't obey him at all, I never listened to him, but he was obedient to me and did everything, how could you like a rude and jealous woman like me?"
"The four virtues refer to women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's skills. I didn't start from the beginning, I followed several men, I can't count Joan of Arc, I can't speak softly, my appearance is okay, but I don't know anything about the girl in the boudoir - Hong, last time I sewed a button to sew up the clothes on the front and back, and I was laughed at to death! ”
"I'm so unvirtuous, how can you like me!" Snowdrop howled.
Ling Yun wiped her tears and said, "Who said that you are not virtuous, think about it, I let you look at the vault, although you are afraid, you never leave an inch, and the three have done it." Good at arithmetic, proficient in money and food, you have so many skills, you don't have to be pedantic in the four virtues, you already have five virtues and six virtues. ”
Xuezhu pouted: "Then you are planning to make me your housekeeper, woo woo!"
Ling Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, sure enough, women are the most difficult species, hugged her, and said, "You just want to be coquettish, see if I don't beat you." ”
Raised his slap and fell gently, a ball-soft-soft in his hand, and he couldn't help but pinch it a few more times.
Xuezhu snorted lightly, got into his arms, and said shyly: "It's too hard, it's going to be pinched." ”
"No, it won't. "The moment that Ling Yun has been longing for for a long time has finally arrived. Yesterday's dead-buttoned trouser belt hindered the movement, and today with a new outfit, it will never be hindered by a broken belt.
Two burning eyes intertwined.
A steaming mist, rising in the early morning.
In the flower garden in the backyard, two butterflies fluttering, and the newborn sun melts into the clouds, weaving a colorful morning glow.
The fog thickened, and the room was filled with light.
