Chapter 17: Elopement
Wang Hailiang could never have imagined that this step was a step he regretted for the rest of his life.
In the days that followed, he paid a terrible price for this stupid move.
This cost cost him to spend his whole life in pain and repentance, and his conscience was guilty and he was in constant fear.
Because Erya never came back, the woman fell into a ravine and disappeared for twenty years.
Twenty years later, when Wang Hailiang remembered the scene of elopement today, he realized how naΓ―ve he was at the beginning, and his heart was heartbreaking.
Hailiang just pulled Erya away, and only Zhang Ergou was left in the snow where he was shouting, crying wolves and killing pigs.
At the same time that Hailiang eloped with Erya, Zhang Ergou's house exploded.
Zhang Damao talked with Aunt Da Xuan and Sun Shangxiang about the dowry, the bride price and the banquet. When the two parents' family walked out of the north house and ran to the west house, wanting to see how the two children were getting along, the three of them were dumbfounded.
The West House is empty, don't talk about Erya, Zhang Ergou is gone.
I haven't found it for a long time, and Aunt Da Bolt is panicked.
"What's going on? What about two children? Where did it go? β
Zhang Damao laughed at himself and said: "It may be...... Let's pee. β
So Zhang Damao shouted at the toilet of Ergou's house: "Girl, are you in there?" β¦β¦ Why do you spend so long in a pee? β¦β¦ What are you ...... to pee? β
After shouting for a long time, no one in the toilet answered, and they learned that Ergou and Erya had disappeared together.
When he was anxious, the street door was pushed open with a bang, and Zhang Ergou limped into the house with a bloody face.
Zhang Ergou got up an hour later, and when he turned over, Wang Hailiang and Erya ran away early in the morning.
Zhang Ergou staggered and staggered, rushed into the house in one breath, and suddenly saw Zhang Damao and his mother, he cried wowly: "Uncle Damao, mother!" Erya ...... was taken away by Wang Hailiang's dog. β
"Huh?" Zhang Damao was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where have they gone?"
Zhang Ergou said: "After eloping, they want to go out of Daliang Mountain, go to live outside the mountain, and never come back." β
"I'm cΗo!" Zhang Damao was so angry that he jumped like thunder, his eyes were full of stars, and he shook it and almost fainted.
The thing that worried him the most happened, Wang Hailiang, this kid is really not a good stubble, and he actually dragged his daughter to elope.
He felt stuffy in his chest, sweet in his throat and eyes, and spat out a mouthful of blood, which frightened Sun Shangxiang and Aunt Da Shuan and hurriedly went up and hugged him.
After patting his chest for a long time, Zhang Damao slowly recovered, opened his eyes and gritted his teeth and scolded: "Wang Hailiang!" You're a thing! I can't spare you, chase me!! β
Zhang Damao pushed away the two women, and rushed out of the house with the same staggering steps, shouting on the street, and shouting twenty or thirty of his own masters.
He ordered everyone to bring the guys, chase Hailiang and Erya back, and when he saw Wang Hailiang killed, he would kill someone!
The masters of the Zhang family were gearing up one by one, ready to go, swarming, following Zhang Damao straight to Daliang Mountain, and chasing them in the direction where Hailiang and Erya fled.
Wang Hailiang pulled Erya and ran to Daliang Mountain, and the two of them were as happy as birds out of the cage.
This is the first time Erya has walked into the mountains, and the girl's happiness is incomparable.
What unfolded in front of them was a magnificent picture, the sky was as blue as a wash, a few white clouds floated on it, the white was all around was snow, and the entire Daliang Mountain was a world covered in silver.
In the distance, the silver snake flies the wax statue of Yuanchi, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the primeval woods that have not been set foot for many years are also pressed on the mountainside by heavy snow, the surrounding fields are very empty, and the air in the mountains is extremely fresh.
This is in winter, if you catch up with the summer, the scenery of Daliang Mountain will be even more beautiful, everywhere is green, everywhere is full of trees, everywhere is full of flowers and green grass. Butterflies flutter among the flowers, bees shuttle between the flowers, one moment they fly back, the next they fly away.
But Erya was not that blessed, because she had never seen the world on the mountain.
Daliang Mountain is too high and too steep, there are not only wild wolves, wasps, poisonous snakes, and blind bears on the mountain, and the girls can't go up at all, and there is no return when they go up.
There was no road on the mountain, and the only dirt path was trampled by the hunters on the mountain and the few people who came out of the mountain.
The road was very difficult to walk, only a foot or two wide, and the section that passed the Bulao Peak was even steeper, and the mountain road was on the cliff, with an unattainable cliff on one side and a bottomless valley on the other, and you would die if you fell down.
