Chapter Twenty-Three: The Endless Haze of Passing Years
Zhang Chenyi's legs finally got better. He can also get out of bed and walk. During this time, only Arley was by his side. Others are said to have said that Xu Sanniang gave them some silver taels to find another owner. It's just that because he has been in Zhang's house since he was a child, he is timid by nature and afraid of life, and he is unwilling to leave.
Xu Sanniang asked him to stay. After that storm. It's a sunny day. Xu Sanniang has been really busy lately, dizzy. The fire in Zhang's house caused a commotion among a small number of merchants. Those big merchants who had been acquired by the Chen family a long time ago were all secretly proud. Hey, it took her a long time to calm this qiē.
"Sanniang is not good,"
"What's going on? Panicking about everything? Xu Sanniang scolded the subordinate in front of her.
"Zhang's hometown, he and him"
"Master Zhang, what's wrong. You say."
"Master Zhang died next to the plaque in Zhang's house, and it seems that it has been a long time."
"Where is the body?"
"The yamen took it, saying that Master Zhang committed suicide by taking poison, and left a suicide note."
After hearing this, Xu Sanniang quickly called a few people to collect the corpse from the yamen of the district. The yamen saw that someone was stuffing money, and this old man Zhang was also a person with a head and a face, and it was not something he killed, so he let Xu Sanniang take it away, and gave her the suicide note by the way. This saves too much trouble to the Yamen. Why not.
Xu Sanniang looked at this cold body, and her tears couldn't stop staying, this man she had loved for many years died in front of her house like this. Those words are unspeakable, those feelings are unlovely, but now these pains cannot be painful.
He is like a soaring eagle, out of reach. He is alive, and she has something to look forward to, waiting for that day. Now all the qiē is blank. He left this world completely. But why not take away the affection in her heart? Zhang Chenyi heard that his father had passed away. Regardless of the leg injury, he was forced to get out of bed. Arei had no choice but to help him to the place where the body was kept.
Xu Sanniang heard that someone was coming, and felt wiped away her tears to stabilize her mood. Zhang Chenyi knelt on his knees, ignoring the pain of his leg injury. He kowtowed three times. If you feel pain, then Heaven will give you a way to forget this pain, and that is to give you a greater pain.
Blood stains appeared on Zhang Chenyi's forehead. He had no scruples. His face was expressionless. Xu Sanniang understood that he was not sad, but that he was numb to pain. Arei also cried and kowtowed three times. When he saw that the young master didn't get up, he didn't get up either.
Zhang Chenyi didn't understand, his heart had long been shattered, why was his appearance still intact? His unfocused eyes were so hollow. It seems that if you look at it more, you will fall into his abyss. Xu Sanniang said softly, "My relatives are deceased, and burying them as soon as possible is filial piety"
When Zhang Chenyi touched his father's cold corpse. The chest pain that he had endured for a long time spewed a mouthful of blood on the half-open coffin and then fainted. Xu Sanniang is fortunate to have seen a lot of the market. Don't mess up and call someone to find Dr. He.
After Dr. He took the pulse, he only prescribed a tonic to cultivate the mind. Xu Sanniang's eyes were full of tears. What the hell is going on here? Let this child suffer like this? In the next few days, Zhang Chenyi slept for a few days, and on the first day, he just drank medicine and never woke up. Arley had been by his side all the time, and he didn't dare to close his eyes.
Xu Sanniang saw that if he went like this, he was afraid that he would be tired, so he took turns with the two of him to take care of him. On the second day, Zhang Chenyi woke up and drank the medicine, just ate a little rice porridge, but vomited it, then the medicine came out, and finally coughed up blood. Xu Sanniang's hands trembled in fright.
Directly visit Dr. He in person. Dr. He reluctantly followed her, and when Dr. He arrived, Zhang Chenyi had already fainted and fell asleep. After drinking, let him sleep quietly and do not disturb.
In the end, Zhang Chenyi slept for three days before waking up. Xu Sanniang and A Lei let go of their hanging hearts.
Even more relieved, after Zhang Chenyi woke up this time, he did not vomit blood for several days. The improvement is also much better than before, not as mild as before, but more aggressive.
Xu Sanniang could only pretend not to see it. Everyone changes when they face setbacks. These changes are often forced. Whether you want to or not, when all the things that are weighing on you, you either choose to end yourself. Or choose to give up on the past.
Zhang Chenyi when he could get out of bed. also accepted the sudden qiē. Now that he's alive. That may have the value of zài. That being the case. He might as well live well. Although her appearance made him originally black and white world. It became colorful. But because she didn't say goodbye. It's dark now.
"Childe, this was found from the house, and it is a fragment of the clothes that Steward Li wore that day." Arley choked up.
Zhang Chenyi took it, touched it in the palm of his hand, and said to Ah Lei, "Bury it near the master, let him rest in peace", this endless pain, I don't know when it will be relieved. Zhang Chenyi only remembered that when he was a child, Steward Li was brought back by his father.
His father sued him and his mother at the time, and Steward Li saved his life when he was in danger. only to learn that he was living a difficult life without children and daughters. And they brought him back. Steward Li is very decent.
Everything his father gave him was done properly, and Steward Li was also loyal and sincere to the Zhang family, and one year someone spent a lot of money to buy him, and he was unmoved. They all saw how much his father valued him, since the year his mother died. My father had nothing to do at home and drank all day.
Thanks to Steward Li, the Zhang family has developed all the way to the present at that time. didn't expect him to die in the Zhang family in this life. He will never forget this kindness for the rest of his life.
At this moment, Xu Sanniang was in the room, hesitating and walking back and forth, these **** suicide notes were read over and over again, it was Master Zhang's handwriting, but the content in the credible made her unable to believe it.
Xu Sanniang opened the letter again, which seemed to be a few words written by Master Zhang with his last remaining strength. What do these things have to do with the wooden silk? Countless bees were buzzing in Xu Sanniang's head. Mess.
If Master Zhang wrote it on his deathbed. But the paper used for this letter was very clean. The exclusion is not written after taking poison. That was before, but Master Zhang didn't come back before, and I heard Mu Bo talk about it, and they got along for a short time.
She turned around again and pulled out the package under the bed. There was a suspicious light in his eyes, and this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Mr. Zhang is dead, and there is no way to prove the authenticity of the letter that said it was a suicide note.
But this letter must not be known to Zhang Chenyi. Otherwise, it will only be completely blinded by this foggy qiē. Xu Sanniang finally put this envelope under her pillow.
"Huh~ What is this?" A maid was shaking her pillow in the sun, and suddenly a piece of paper fell out of it.
"Believe it, right? Hurry up and put Sanniang back," one of them hurriedly picked it up. Prepare it for a while and put it back in Sanniang's room. It took the two maids to dry everything. After all, the winter sun is so precious.
"Where did Zhang Gongzi go?" Xu Sanniang searched the yard and asked.
"Zhang Gongzi, he said he wanted to go for a walk. Arei went out with him."
went out, Xu Sanniang looked out worriedly. You can't hide from what you should have. Ay. Although Zhang Chenyi couldn't see it, the kind of gaze that everyone looked at him was enough to shoot into his heart. Arley lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the people on the street.
"Don't be afraid." Zhang Chenyi stabilized the people around him, and Aren sighed.
"Please sir show me what is written in this letter?" Zhang Chenyi took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to an old man.
Zhang Chenyi held the door frame with one hand. One hand covered his chest, and he still had blood on his face. At this point, it becomes white and transparent. At this moment, he really saw the fragments of memories floating in his inner world in an instant, and the ruins. The most cruel thing is that he himself is covered in bruises. Still stubbornly refusing to leave it down.
"Childe, Childe" Arei looked at him worriedly.
"Go back" Zhang Chenyi squeezed out two words from his mouth with difficulty, although he tried hard to control it. But Arley still saw the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. Arley's tears rolled down and soaked the hem of his clothes. I cried very sadly, but I didn't dare to make a sound.
Xu Sanniang stood at the door and waited. Just now she unexpectedly learned that her letter in the pillow was missing, according to the maid, she may have accidentally dropped it on the way, but after looking for a long time in the yard, she did not find it.
She suspected that Zhang Chenyi would go out and come back this time, because she was afraid that she already knew something.
