Chapter 38 Father and Son
"Magnolia, can you help me see how the potion on the stove is. www.biquge.info"Xiao Jue was examining the sore spot on his arm for the watchman, and suddenly called out to Yulan, who had been guarding us all along.
"Okay." Magnolia stood up and walked out of the room.
"It might hurt a little, but you bear with it." Now that Yulan has gone out, the matter of dressing Shulan completely falls on me. The large jar of mashed herbs, with some green grass juice, scraped a little out of the jar with a hammer, and spread the rotten herbs over the beaten place on her body. Then a coarse cloth bandage was wrapped...... The scars on her body were shocking, and I felt pain when I looked at it, I really didn't know how the father and son of the beast could have done such a heavy blow to her.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." Shulan turned her head sideways, and seeing my expression, she took my hand and comforted her.
I sorted out my emotions, "You're hurt, it's really ...... Why do you want you to be beaten and come to comfort me? ”
"I've always gotten used to it, so I don't feel so painful." As if she wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere at the moment, Shulan deliberately pretended not to matter, which made me feel even more uncomfortable.
"Ahh......h
"Watch," Xiao Jue, who had been silently treating his arm, said softly, "If it hurts, you have to say it." Knowing where you hurt, I can know where you are injured, some locations are not serious, but some locations are injured if they are not properly treated, the consequences can be very serious. ”
"Your Excellency." As soon as she heard that Shouwang's injuries might be serious, Shulan couldn't sit still and walked over. "Watch His ......"
"Don't worry, it looks like the watch is just a skin wound right now. Presumably he was protecting you with one hand and blocking Changjing's father's beating with the other, so his injuries were basically on his right arm. Xiao Jue pressed the watchman's upper arm with one hand, and held the watchman's forearm with the other hand and swung it a few times, "Fortunately, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones." ”
Shulan closed her eyes and sighed, looking like she was finally relieved. It's just that she looks too desperate.
I tried to swallow it again and again, but I couldn't pretend to ignore her when I saw her like this. "Why did the old guy beat you up like that?! Unexpectedly, you will be beaten like this if you are guarded! ”
"No, it's not...... Shulan wanted to deny it, but when she saw the watchman, her eyes were full of self-blame and distress.
"Sister." Shouwang stretched out his other hand to grab Shulan, and then he looked at Xiao Jue very carefully, deliberately reminding Shulan.
"Is it more frightening for you to expose the viciousness of certain people than to be beaten?" I followed the watchful eyes to look at Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue has always been indifferent, and did not say a few words from beginning to end, which makes people wonder what he is thinking. It's no wonder that the watchman would remind Shulan not to talk nonsense in front of him, "If you have anything, don't worry, if he has the courage to betray you, I will throw him into the river." ”
Let him also taste the taste of soaking in cold water on a cold day.
When Xiao Jue heard this, he actually smiled. But Shulan and Shouwang were scared enough, they looked at me in horror, as if I was a monster who would eat people at any time, Xiao Jue smiled and said, "If you are really wronged, just tell her." It's rare that she can't see it, and she will take the initiative to stand up and want to administer justice for you. ”
"Is this okay?" It seems that Shulan still has something to say.
But as soon as she asked, the watchman immediately tugged at her sleeve.
"Alas! Little bunny, is it because of you? I noticed his small movements, and Shulan obviously complied with his instructions, and I stepped forward to grab the watchman's collar, "Is it because of you?" Could it be because of some reason that you have to keep asking your sister to endure the torture of the beast father and son, you just keep watching him get beaten, you think you are helping her by blocking her? If you ask her to keep silent in the face of harm, you are helping those who hurt her, and you are condoning their harm to you. ”
"No," Shulan tugged at my wrist as if worried, "It's all me, it's all my fault." ”
After the lesson I just learned, Shouwang is much more honest, or rather, he is simply scared stupid, and he can't care about stopping it anymore. Shulan pulled me back to the back and sat down, holding back tears and said, "It's all because of me that they are also involved." ”
"They?!" What does she mean by this, but also Magnolia?
"My family died early, so I took Magnolia and Shouwang to marry together. All along, they have also lived in Changjing's house, I am a woman, Yulan and Shouwang are young, they can't help anything, and they will inevitably be disliked. Shulan lowered her head.
"They beat you because you can't help anything?" I think it will take at least a while for me to fully adapt to the three views here.
Shulan looked up at Shouwang.
It turned out that when Shulan was twelve years old, her father and mother died of illness one after another. She really had no way to live with her younger brothers and sisters, so she listened to the persuasion of the village elders, married Changjing, and lived in Changjing's house with Yulan Shouwang. Changjing's family is the only family with cattle in the village, the conditions are the best in the village, and the first few years are okay, but Shulan still hasn't given birth to a son and a half daughter to Changjing after marrying for the past two years, so he was disliked by Changjing's father.
I crushed my throat and coughed. I especially want to scold, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, no matter how primitive it is here, no matter how early the marriage is, but you must always respect the physiological development. She wants her to have a child before she is fully developed, and if she can't give birth to a child, she dislikes her, what kind of world is this.
Shulan continued, "...... My father disliked me and was afraid that I was an unlucky person, so he wanted to marry Changjing again. ”
Then they began to look for other people's daughters in the village to see if there were more suitable candidates. But I couldn't find it, and the time passed slowly, but Shulan's stomach still didn't move, Changjing had a big temper, and once he was called by his father to give a lecture, and when he came back, he took Shulan and beat Shulan hard. Since then, it seems that he has found a place to vent, but whenever he has a big temper, he will take Shulan Sa.
"Bastard......" I gritted my teeth and scolded, but I still couldn't hold back. You continue. ”
Shulan looked up at me, her eyes showed some doubts, she was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then continued, "Yulan is four years younger than me, one year older than Shouwang......"
While the father and son continued to look for a suitable girl to inherit the family lineage, Magnolia gradually grew up and grew into a slim and tall girl. As a result, one day, he was remembered by Changjing, and Changjing's father also talked to Shulan about it, hoping that Shulan would mention it to Yulan and give Yulan to Changjing as a concubine. Because Shulan knew Changjing's character too well, she didn't want Yulan to fall into this fire pit, so she kept delaying it. Later, Changjing fell in love with Qingshan's childhood sweetheart, the moon cicada's father was a little snobbish, seeing that Qingshan had nothing, and Changjing's family conditions were good, he thought about agreeing to it. But he was resisted by the moon cicada and refused to obey. In order to prevent Yulan from falling into the hands of Changjing, Shulan once went to Yuecian in person to beg, hoping that Yuecian would marry Changjing.
It's just that the moon cicada didn't agree, and after delaying for a while, Changjing couldn't ask for sweetness from the moon cicada, so he turned his attention to Yulan again.
“…… But who knows, he died suddenly. I thought that this matter was finally over, but my father said that I killed Changjing, not only did not give birth to a son for Changjing, but also killed Changjing. After Changjing's accident, my father complained to me, and then ...... "Shulan wiped her tears with the back of her hand, she probably never thought that Changjing, who had been beating her, finally died, and did not wait for a peaceful good day, even Changjing's father beat her for blaming her.
"Then this time, it was also because of this incident that I beat you?" I still don't think I can accept that.
Shulan nodded, "Dad said, why don't I accompany Changjing to die together." ”
"He just wants to kill the eldest sister, so that the eldest sister can go to the underworld to take care of his son!" The watchman said indignantly.
"Perverted." I can't find a better word to describe that father and son. But after knowing about this, I sympathized with the experience of the three sisters and brothers, but also felt very heavy inexplicably.
"My lord, the medicine has been boiled."
As we spoke, Magnolia came in from outside with a medicine cup, her cheeks were red from the cold, she stood in the room, looked at the people in the room suspiciously, and asked, "Who is this medicine for?" ”
"Give Huo Xi." Xiao Jue said lightly.
"What are you doing for me?" I didn't even think to blurt it out.
"You didn't drink the medicine before you went out." Xiao Jue said very firmly, it turned out that he still remembered that when we were in Yulan asking for help, we hurriedly went out, and I threw the medicine aside, "So as not to catch a cold, drink it if it doesn't taste good, you are now the most unfriendly person." ”
This made everyone in the room a little embarrassed, and Yulan obediently walked over with the medicine cup, and before I got closer, I already smelled the smell, and I was very disgusted. When Yulan came in a hurry just now, I put down the medicine and ran out as if I was relieved.
Who knows that after going around in a circle, this has to be drunk. I took the medicine cup, and I was reluctant to do it, "By the way, do you still want to go back?" ”
Shulan and the others immediately fell silent.
They should also know that they will have to be beaten when they go back to Kendi, but if they don't go back, where can they live?
"If you want to keep them staying, you have to stay with Shulan and Yulan." This may be a reminder, but it seems to be asking for my opinion. Xiao Jue is not the top of Changjing's house here, there are only two houses, before this, he originally lived in one and arranged for me to live in one. If they were to stay overnight, it would mean that Shulan Yulan and I would live in one room, and Shouwang and him would live in one room.
Shouwang cast a plea at me, and he was begging me to let Shulan and Yulan stay. "I don't dare to ask to live with adults, I'll just stay in the yard for one night, but the eldest sister and the second sister are weak, so I beg Miss Huo Xi to agree."
