Chapter 3 Parting Words

At this time, the crowd was trying to lift the coffin that was placed on the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Perhaps only the old butler and the man in red knew that everything that happened today was probably caused by this coffin.

The old butler looked at the coffin, and there were drips of bright red liquid at one end of the thin coffin, slowly oozing out and falling to the ground.

Everyone experienced the moment of horror just now, and the mood that had just relaxed became tense again.

The old butler ordered the middle-aged man to open the coffin again.

With the sound of wood rubbing, the woman in the coffin reappeared, and this was the second time that her body had been seen again.

The old butler looked inside the coffin, the woman's face was still as pale as paper, and there was no anger at all, and her lower body was oozing blood, which had dyed the white lining in the coffin red.

"Is the amniotic water breaking?"

"Is the mistress going to give birth? She's dead! ”

"Do the dead have children?"

The house slaves began to talk about it, and although it was quiet, it still surprised them, after all, they had encountered a lot of strange things today.

"That's it!" The chief butler shouted, stopped the discussion of these subordinates, sighed, and said secretly in his heart: "Maybe this is the real providence!" Is it to leave the last bloodline for the Xia family? God has eyes! ”

And it just so happened that there was an old woman who could deliver the baby in the funeral procession.

The old woman was in her fifties, not tall, her face was wrinkled, and she walked to the coffin with some fear, and probed into the coffin.

The other house slaves have been only opened, and they can only watch from afar, although the hostess is dead, but they still have to avoid suspicion.

The old woman reached into the coffin and lifted the clothes of the hostess's corpse, she had only delivered babies for the living, and this was the first time in her life that she gave birth to death, and she tossed beside the coffin for a long time, and finally sweated profusely, her hands were full of blood, and there was no progress.

I had to step aside, turn my head to the old butler and say, "Old . . . Old butler, I.. I won't give.. Give to the dead, deliver the dead! This..."

The old butler also saw her embarrassment and sighed: "What should I do?" ”

"And... If you don't deliver the baby, the child. The child may be—" The old woman's mouth is not good.

"What's the matter?"

"I can't keep it!"

The old butler's brows furrowed, "No! No matter what, this bit of the Xia family's bloodline must be preserved! Is there no other way? ”

"Unless!" The old woman paused, "Unless, it's to cut open the mistress's belly!" ”

"What?" The old butler stared at her with wide eyes.

The old woman was a little timid by this look, took a step back, and said in a low voice: "Open your stomach!" ”

"Alas," said the old housekeeper, "if Providence is so, what can man do? Cut it! ”

He knew that it was disrespectful to use a knife on the corpse of the deceased, but now is a critical period that cannot be delayed, and in a few moments, the child may have to die, and at this time, he can't take care of these etiquettes, and at all costs, he must let the child come into the world!

The old woman got permission, and I don't know which house slave got a knife, and leaned into the coffin again.

After a quarter of an hour, everyone watched from a short distance, and was not allowed to come closer.

A baby's cry came leisurely from the coffin, drifting away in the empty wilderness.

"Boy!" The old woman's surprise and joy could not be expressed, and she lifted a bare baby out and cut the umbilical cord.

The old housekeeper immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky repeatedly: "God really has eyes!" God has eyes, my Xia family is endless! ”

"Yun'er, Yun'er?" Two calls came from the dimly lit hut, but no one answered.

An old man opened his eyes and looked around to see that there was no one in the room.

He was gray-haired, looked to be in his seventies, wrinkled, skinny, and struggled to sit up from his bed, perhaps with so much strength that he coughed.

He picked up the cane beside the bed and walked slowly out of the room.

It is a small and dilapidated house located at the foot of the mountain, and leaning against a stream.

When he walked out of the door of the hut, the emerald green in his eyes poured into his eyes, the green mountains and birds chirping, the green water trickling, and the fresh pastoral scenery suddenly made the old man feel refreshed.

Then he called out into the distance, but there was still no response, only a few echoes echoing among the rocks and trees.

So he sighed and sat down on a stone in the doorway.

Wait!

He waited for a day, until the sun was about to set, when a young man came running from the forest in the west.

The old man had closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping, and as if he was thinking about something, and the only life he might be able to think about at his age was memories.

He didn't see the boy coming.

The young man seemed to be very happy, and still had many things in his hand, and when he did not reach the door, he saw the old man, and cried out loudly, "Grandpa, I am back!" ”

At this time, the old man's eyes blinked, as if he had tried hard to open them, but he saw the sunset that reflected half of the sky red. Suddenly he seemed to feel that his life was like this sunset, about to fall below the horizon in an instant, this may be the last time to look at the sun, tomorrow, maybe there will be no tomorrow.

The boy had already approached, and his eyes were imprinted with the figure of the boy.

This young man named Yun'er is twelve or thirteen years old, and he is very smart and clever with good eyebrows, bright eyes, and good eyes.

The boy placed his things by the door, took the old man's hand, and gently snuggled up to him.

The old man also stretched out his hand to caress the young man's head, and infinite love and affection flowed in his eyes.

"Grandpa! Here's the fish and game I caught today, and I'll make you soup for the night! Yun'er's face was full of smiles, and her immature face was full of joy.

The old man laughed, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he just said lightly: "Good! Then he hugged the boy again.

The boy said, "Then you go back to the house and wait, and I'll cook!" ”

He was the old housekeeper of the Xia family back then, and the young man's name was Xia Yun, the last bloodline of the Xia family!

And his name is "Yun", which was given to him by his father, who died before he was born, and this is also what the old housekeeper told him.

For an orphan like Xia Yun, life is really not easy, the old housekeeper took him to have a meal without a meal, and there were many times when he only ate two meals in three days, but the old housekeeper still carried it alone, and he pulled the boy up. And today, when he saw the sunset, he seemed to feel that he couldn't hold on any longer, and the end was approaching. He wanted to pass on all his decades of experience to this young man, but it was too late.

So he sat here for a day thinking about the possibility that he would be able to leave something useful for the boy when he left this world.

He sat by the door for a while, then picked up his crutches again and went back into the house.

"It's time to eat!"

Soon, Xia Yun took the prepared food to the house, and the old housekeeper just watched Xia Yun eat it, when the wind suddenly rose outside the house.

It's windy!

"Mountain rain is coming!" The old housekeeper looked out the window, and a dark cloud was drifting over, and he couldn't help but sigh, "The wind and clouds are unpredictable, and the destiny of heaven returns!" It's time to go! ”

"What's the time to go?" Xia Yun looked at the old man suspiciously.

"Kid! I don't have anything left for you, so I'll send you three sentences! Maybe I can help you sometime. The old butler said earnestly.

"Okay, I'll listen to my grandfather!" Xia Yun looked at him and waited for him to say.

"First sentence, never give up on yourself!"

"The second sentence, be kind and brave, treat others sincerely, and you will have many friends!"

"The third sentence, do your best to protect the person you love, even if it is worth your life!"
