Chapter 61: Night Thoughts
When night fell, in a room of the inn, Cheng Ping, who was tied hand and foot, sat on the ground and slammed the door with his body.
"Hey, hey." He shouted weakly through the crack in the door, "It's really none of my business....Are you ladies awake?" When you wake up, ask her, and she must have said the same..."
No one answered outside the door, but it wasn't no one, Cheng Ping could hear the sound of breathing.
"Hey, why don't you get me something to eat first?" He said.
Naturally, no one paid attention.
Cheng Ping had to move around and sit against the door and look at the room.
It was an upper room in the inn, and perhaps it was for the convenience of the lady to see him, so he was not tied up and thrown into the stables or the firewood room.
The room was beautifully decorated, warm as spring, and there were teapots on several tables.
Fortunately, there was no need to be frozen, Cheng Ping moved his body to a few cases, biting the teapot with his mouth and trying to drink tea, because his movements were unstable, he was almost choked, and he also spilled his body, but he was still happy and full of admiration.
"Not bad, not bad, good tea." He said, then took a bite and continued to drink.
Compared with his self-satisfaction, at the door of the house on the other side, two women came with anxious faces and medicines.
Outside the door, two attendants looked anxious.
"How? Awake? The two women asked hurriedly.
The attendant shook his head.
"I went to the doctor again, and I asked people to carry letters home." They said.
"Are you going too hard?" Xi Niang asked.
One of the attendants looked a little embarrassed and uneasy.
Is it really because of panic that she lost her sense of proportion, and she started hard, and the lady who beat her hasn't woken up yet?
"What's this called!"
The two women sighed. No more blaming the retinue. After all, there was really no way around it at that time. They opened the door and went inside.
Behind the curtain the lady lay down and slept.
"Sanniang, you can't take medicine like this." Xi Niang said in a low voice.
Sanniang also sighed helplessly.
"The doctor said it's okay, take medicine when you wake up, don't feed medicine if you don't wake up, so as not to be choked." She said.
The two men sat down on the ground and were sad.
How so... It's good...
"It's all to blame on that little liar!" Xi Niang said angrily in a low voice, "What kind of lifeless person, now it's okay..."
Sanniang was silent for a while and didn't speak.
"You say, isn't it? It's weird," she whispered.
The fine lady looked at her puzzled.
"She's a fool, when she was a child... Do you look at her like a fool now? Sanniang said in a low voice.
Xi Niang shook her head, whether it is appearance or words and deeds, it is naturally not like it, how can there be such a fool, if such a fool, then what has become of them and others!
"Didn't you say okay?" She said.
"Is it okay to be a fool?" Sanniang said in a low voice, looking left and right, "Could it be possessed by something....I've heard that if you are possessed, you will be scared away, and if you are scared away, you will die... You see how she looks like she's lost her soul during the day..."
She didn't finish her sentence. The fine lady was so frightened that her face turned pale and reached out to slap her.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What nonsense! She whispered in a trembling voice.
Sanniang was too busy to silence and didn't dare to say any more.
The two were silent for a while. The room was a little dark, and the wind whined through the cracks in the windows and doors, making it all the more creepy.
"Light the lamp," Sanniang stammered.
Xi Niang hurriedly went to light the lights, a few lights turned on, the room was a little warm, and the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"The doctor is here." An attendant outside the door said.
The two of them hurriedly stood up and watched an old man come in with a medicine box on his back.
There were more people, and the uneasiness of the two women faded away, and before they could speak, a female voice came from within.
"No, I'm fine."
This sudden female voice made Sanniang, who was holding a lamp to lead the way, screamed in fright.
The others were also startled by her shout, and the attendants outside the door rushed in regardless of the suspicion of men and women.
"Lady, lady, it's my fault."
Kneeling on the mat, the two women leaned over and said in fear.
It turns out that this lady has woken up a long time ago, so what they said must have been heard...
It's really stupid, the people behind the scenes are afraid of being caught, so they have to ...... in front of others
"It's okay, don't talk about you, I'm scared myself, I think people won't be so rash when they come in and speak, but I didn't expect it to scare you." Cheng Jianniang said.
How can anyone be afraid of their own...
This, this is really exciting...
The two women leaned down on the ground and sneered even more.
"Lady, don't listen to that little liar's nonsense, you're fine, that little liar is just a liar who eats and drinks with his mouth...", they hurriedly said.
Cheng Jianniang shook her head and looked at them.
"You do me a favor." She said.
The two women were overjoyed, and instead of driving them away, they still wanted to use them, which is really magnanimous.
"Go get the money and buy some books and come back." Cheng Jianniang said, "It doesn't matter what books you have, the more the better." ”
Book? Right now?
The woman was a little surprised, but she was still busy.
The sound of footsteps in the corridor woke up the sleepy Cheng Ping.
“… This way, all here..."
There was the sound of talking and something hitting the ground.
“… Be careful..."
What for?
Cheng Ping hurriedly moved to the door, looking out of the door with one eye, and two small servants in the corridor walked briskly, each holding a thick stack of books in their hands.
Book?
How did you get so many books in the middle of the night?
"Is there anything else in the car outside?" The woman's voice rang out.
"Yes, I really want it, can the lady see it?"
Wife?
Cheng Ping was overjoyed, that lady woke up!
"Hey, hey." He slammed his shoulder against the door, "You can let me go, right?" ”
It took several shouts before someone came over, but the door was not opened.
"Released you?" The male voice said indignantly, "You wait, wait until the lady is done and come to settle accounts with you!" ”
What's the busy night?
Cheng Ping looked out through the crack in the door. The night was already deep. The lights flickered in the hallway.
Never mind. Then go to bed first, and then talk about it when you wake up.
When the east was gradually brightening, the woman guarding the door woke up from a nap and saw the woman opposite lying on the mat sleeping on the quilt.
When it was about to dawn, the woman exhaled, rubbed her shoulders, sat upright, and looked inside.
The sliding door in the middle of the room was open, and the woman sitting inside could be seen at a glance.
Sitting!
The woman suddenly sobered up. Did you sit like this all night?
The light was still on in the room, and the books bought last night were almost piled up in the room, and at this time scattered on the ground on several cases, and the lady sat in it.
She didn't look at the book, and what seemed to be in front of her was the same volume from last night, while the other books remained the same.
In the gradually brightening skylight, the originally bright candlelight was gradually dimmed, and the light in the room became dim, as if the woman's angry spirit had also dimmed little by little.
The woman couldn't help but hold her heart, but she felt like it was blocked.
It turned out that the woman was walking quickly. Silent tears, screams after falling to the ground. It's really not that sad compared to the dry sitting at this time.
The real sadness is that the heart is like ashes.
Is it really because of that little liar's words that it's like this?
Three hundred years...
Between the world and the earth, if the white horse passes through the gap, it is all of a sudden.
She died for nearly three hundred years.
The sixth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Cheng Jianniang lowered her head and looked at the open scroll, and stretched out her hand to stroke the fresh inscription on it.
Familiar and unfamiliar.
What is familiar is that this era exists in her memory, and what is unfamiliar is this vivid feeling, not in the books she once studied, not in the precious ancient books stored high on the shelves.
The Great Zhou, the sixth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, the establishment of the dynasty is only more than 70 years, and now it is the fourth emperor Zhongzong, and where she is, the Great Zhou Fang clan has long been destroyed, and the Daqing Dynasty has been replaced by the sudden death of the last little emperor and fell apart, and the new banner with the word Liang has been hung high above the wall with the smoke of war and the remnants.
Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand and Mu Mu's calculations, it was two hundred and ninety-four years later, and that was also the time when their Cheng clan perished.
Cheng Jianniang's hand hung down and supported a few cases, and her slender fingers turned white because of the force.
Unexpectedly, the Cheng clan in Jiangzhou would suffer such a catastrophe of extermination, and it was ten years after helping the Yang family to fight, and it was still in....
"Afang! The father and emperor abdicated, and the Taishi Bureau has chosen the day for you and me to be canonized! ”
"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress Mother."
Cheng Jianniang held a few cases and laughed silently.
How ridiculous, how ridiculous.
It was her closest people who personally ordered her to be shot into a hedgehog and gouged out her heart with his own hands.
How ridiculous, how ridiculous.
The four princes of the Great Liang Dynasty, Yang Shan!
Great Liang Dynasty, Yang!
People say that the birds are good and the bow is hidden, but the world of the Yang family and the Liang Dynasty has not been stable for a few days, why did he raise the butcher knife to their Cheng family?
The dynasty has been established, the country is stable at the beginning, meritorious talents are rewarded, and the knight has just been sealed, why did he raise a butcher's knife to their Cheng family?
Hundreds of years of turbulent changes in the imperial court, for Jiangzhou Cheng has never had an impact, as a famous family of great ministers, enjoy the respect of the emperors of the past dynasties, the head of the family from generation to generation to inherit the Taishi Bureau, observe the sky and the earth, look at the wind and clouds, and make history and repair history, this is the world's famous Jiangzhou Cheng, the Cheng family of many generations of hairpins.
The hundred-year-old Cheng clan was ruined like this!
Raid the house and exterminate the family, the cats and dogs are not left, and every grass and tree is burned!
The fire burns the flags, digs the heart and cooks, devours the soul and destroys the soul, and the yin and yang are all gone!
Gone! Gone! It's all gone!
The Cheng family is gone! Cheng's is gone!
Cheng Jianniang stood up suddenly, and the woman who was looking at her with a worried face was startled.
"Lady," she shouted.
Cheng Jianniang didn't look at her, and walked straight out.
"Where is he?" "Where is he?" she asked. ”
He?
The woman was stunned when asked, and immediately reacted.
"Little liar? Next door. She hurriedly said.
The door had been pulled open as he spoke, and the woman sleeping on the floor finally woke up, staring in a daze only to see a corner of the robe passing in front of her.
"What's wrong?" She didn't have a cleverness and didn't feel sleepy.
The woman didn't pay attention to her, and chased Cheng Jianniang out.
"Lady!" The attendants in the corridor also called out in surprise and straightened up.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just going to walk around." Cheng Jianniang said.
Casual walk again?
Everyone's face turned pale, and in the middle of the night...
Just thinking about how to persuade her, Cheng Jianniang stood in front of the door next door and stretched out her hand to open the door.
The room was dark, and the light in the corridor projected in, and a man on the couch could be seen sleeping soundly, and the faint snoring echoed in the room.
The women hurried in with their lamps and lit the lamps in the house.
The noise made Cheng Ping wake up, bright and dazzling to protect his eyes, but when he raised his hand, he found that his hands and feet were still tied, and then he remembered what happened.
"What are you doing?" he said, yawning.
Before the words fell, someone in front of him knelt down and leaned over, and then a choked sound came.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...."
Cheng Jianniang first choked, then sobbed, and then leaned over to hide her face and cry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the ancestors, the younger generations are incompetent, the Cheng family is gone, the Cheng family is gone. (To be continued......)
