Chapter 66: Incomprehension (Reward and add more to bamboo papaya)
Little by little, the morning light came in through the window, and the chirping of birds on the branches embellished the peace of the morning.
Xie Roujia sat in the corner of the wall, watching the reflection of the window lattice slowly move in front of her toes.
Footsteps and arguments could be heard outside the door.
"You can't come here."
"Why can't I come, the eldest lady only let the second miss be locked up, and she didn't say that the second miss would not be allowed to eat and drink, right?"
That's right, the two mothers-in-law outside the door glanced at each other, looked at the girl with the basket, and hesitated to get out of the way.
"But we don't dare open the door, so you can pass it in through the window." A mother-in-law said.
Jiang Ling smiled and thanked him, and hurried to the window, put down the basket, and opened the window vigorously.
The morning light poured in, and the small room suddenly brightened, and Xie Roujia, who was huddled on her knees by the wall, could not escape from her sight.
She was still wearing the dress she had changed into yesterday, her hair had dried out and was scattered over her face after a night of wetness, and the wound cloth wrapped around her curled right calf was oozing blood.
When Jiang Ling saw it, he climbed up with his hand on the window and flipped in.
The mother-in-law outside was startled.
"If you don't open the door, you won't let you go in through the window!" They ran over and shouted in a panic.
Jiang Ling had already knelt beside Xie Roujia.
"Second Miss, is your wound cracked?" She asked anxiously, carefully laying Xie Roujia's legs flat, "The doctor said, your legs should be flat." ”
Xie Roujia let her move, didn't speak, and didn't struggle.
"Doctor, go get a doctor." Jiang Ling turned around and shouted at the mother-in-law by the window.
The two mothers-in-law pointed to the side.
"Last night, the doctor personally saw it and changed the medicine before leaving." They said. "If you say it's okay, just drink the medicine."
Jiang Ling turned his head to look and saw a bowl of medicine on the table next to him, and the medicine had not been touched at all.
"Second Miss, how can you not drink medicine?" She brought the medicine bowl and said, "It's okay if you don't drink the medicine, no matter what, it's a sin not to treat yourself well." ”
Xie Roujia's head moved.
"Second Miss, you can't think about it, if you die. is the greatest sin. ”
The sound of Jiang Ling flickering and approaching rang in her ears.
She looked up. Looking at Jiang Ling, who was holding the medicine bowl with a solemn face, it was the same as in a dream.
Jiang Ling never panics when she encounters something, and she doesn't cry and be anxious like other girls when she persuades herself, she is such a serious thing.
It is a sin not to treat yourself well. It's not about persuasion. And that's what she thinks is right.
It is this kind of natural righteousness that supports me to live in my dreams. Staying up is a natural thing, and she didn't disobey it. That day God will see her sincerity and forgive her sins.
Xie Roujia took the medicine bowl and drank it in a big gulp without saying a word.
Jiang Ling was a little stammered, and before she finished her words, she couldn't help but grin.
The two mothers-in-law standing by the window looked at each other when they saw this.
They persuaded them for a long time last night, and the second lady ignored it like the stone man, and now this girl just said a word, and drank it in one go, anyway, the eldest lady just asked the second lady to lock up the second miss first, lock it up, she is also the second miss.
The two waved their hands and tiptoed away.
"Miss, don't be upset." Jiang Ling said, looking at Xie Roujia who lowered her head and did not move.
Saddened?
Being sad should naturally be sad, but it doesn't seem to be sad.
I can't say what it's like.
Xie Roujia looked at the ground and listened to Jiang Ling's persuasion next to her, those words were familiar and unfamiliar, it was a scene in a dream, why did it still happen.
Her tears were dripping down in large gulls and splashing on the ground.
Didn't you wake up from a dream?
“…… Second Miss, I just saw the Taishu ancestor of Xifu coming, I'll go and listen to what he has to say. Jiang Ling said.
Xie Roujia shook her head slowly.
"No, you don't." "I know what he's talking about." ”
In the dream, my grandmother and mother discussed it all night, and decided to conceal my sister's death and let myself replace my sister, claiming that I was dead, so when my uncle got the news and rushed over, I was present as my sister and listened to my uncle scolding him.
Now she doesn't have to be present as a sister, but Uncle Tai will still scold herself.
Why? Didn't you wake up from a dream? Why is this happening? Did you wake up from a dream, or did the nightmare begin? Which is the dream and which is the reality?
Xie Roujia hugged her knees.
"Second Miss, what do you want to know, who do you want to say to someone, is it the old lady and the eldest lady or anyone else? Who are you looking for, the old lady or the big man? The slave and maid went and asked. Jiang Ling said.
Xie Roujia raised her head and looked at her.
"I don't want to know what they think or say." "I just wanted to know why, and I wanted to ask my sister why." ”
She looked at Jiang Ling and stared hard.
She just wanted to know, why?
………………………………………….
"What else is there to discuss?"
Xie Cunli's roar came from Mrs. Xie's courtyard, and the girls who were already small in the courtyard suddenly scattered and walked away.
"I said a long time ago, sooner or later, this evil obstacle will have to kill the eldest sister! She's just insatiable! ”
Old Madam Xie, who had closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep since he came in, opened her eyes suddenly.
"You already know a fart!" She scolded, "Don't come to me to pretend to be a saint!" ”
Xie Cunli's face turned red, and Xie Wenxing called out to his mother.
"It's all this time, can you stop arguing?" He said, his voice full of exhaustion.
Tired, everyone in the room felt tired, not only because they hadn't slept all night, but because yesterday's events caught everyone off guard, as long as they thought about it, they were covered in a cold sweat.
"I don't think Jiajia will kill the eldest sister." Xie Wenxing continued, with a somewhat stunned expression. "She was just in a hurry and missed."
"That's what you've been pampering her all along!" Xie Cunli said, "I still say the same thing, today she dares to push Huihui into the water because of a quarrel, and tomorrow she dares to use a knife!" Let's see! This time, it was Huihui Heavenly God who escaped with the blessing, but next time, he was not so lucky! ”
There was silence in the room.
"Second Uncle Ancestor, in fact, we have already discussed." Xie Wenxing said, sighing, "Just before this happened. I've already told Jiajia. Separate them, don't let Jiajia go to school, and don't let her show up with her sisters......"
Before his words fell, Xie Cunli snorted. interrupted Xie Wenxing.
"Look at it, look at it. I said so. Suddenly, how did you hit Megumi hard. He shouted, "It turned out that the dog jumped over the wall!" ”
Old Madam Xie grabbed the tea bowl on the table and smashed it.
"Thank you! Who the fuck are you scolding! She jumped up and shouted.
Xie Cunli was splashed with tea and stomped his feet angrily.
"That's you. It's you. He shouted, "Look at you like this! ”
"Enough!" Mrs. Xie shouted, and stood up from the side, "Don't talk about the past now, talk about what to do in the future." ”
There was silence in the room, and then there was a low voice.
Xie Yao, who walked to the gate of the courtyard, stopped.
"Miss Yao." The girl at the door reminded.
Xie Yao hurriedly retracted his gaze and walked into Xie Rouhui's courtyard next door.
The girl in the yard has been replaced by the girl next to Mrs. Xie, and when the curtain is opened, the smell of medicine in the house is tangy.
Xie Rouhui was sitting on the Luohan bed by the window, and was being served by two girls taking medicine.
"Are you feeling better?" Xie Yao asked in a trembling voice, her eyes red.
Xie Rouhui smiled at her.
"Much better." She said.
Xie Yao stepped forward and took the medicine from the girl's hand.
"I'll do it." She choked up.
Seeing that Xie Rouhui did not object, the two girls stood up.
"You guys go down, I'll talk to Yaoyao for a while." Xie Rouhui said.
Xie Yao sat on the edge of the bed, holding the medicine in one hand and wiping tears with the other, his shoulders staggering.
It was because of Miss Yao, the eldest lady and the second miss had a dispute, and the eldest lady was pushed into the water by the second miss, if it wasn't for the young master of the Shao family, the eldest lady would have died, and Miss Yao must have blamed herself.
The girls retreated in response and thoughtfully closed the door.
There was silence in the room, only Xie Yao's low sobs.
"What are you crying about!" Xie Rouhui said slowly, "I'm not dead yet!" ”
Xie Yao was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry immediately, and her hand holding the medicine bowl kept shaking.
"Bring it here." Xie Rouhui said.
Xie Yao hurriedly got up and held it over, and Xie Rouhui took it and drank it slowly.
"Megumi, didn't you say you just caught her and made a show? How, how did you fall in? Did she really push you? Xie Yao asked in a low voice.
Before the words fell, Xie Rouhui, who had finished drinking the medicine, shook her hand and slapped her face left and right twice.
Xie Yao's face turned red suddenly, and he didn't dare to move, biting the cry in his mouth.
"You're running a long way?" Xie Rouhui raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth and whispered, reaching out to grab Xie Yao's hanging hair, "Are you thinking that if I die, you will never come back?" Seeing that I'm not dead, you're back to spill cat pee? ”
Xie Yao couldn't cry, her hair and painful face were deformed, but she didn't dare to struggle.
"I didn't, I didn't, I kept hiding and watching, I didn't run." She choked up.
Xie Rouhui shook her hair violently.
"I almost died! I almost died! She roared hysterically, "My leg is broken, my leg is broken!" ”
Xie Yao cried even more, I don't know if it was sad or my head hurt.
Xie Rouhui suffered a drowning and broke her leg again, and soon lost her strength.
"What are they going to do with it?" Xie Rouhui shook off Xie Yao and raised her eyebrows and asked.
Xie Yao raised her hand and wiped her tears.
"Yes, Jiajia is arrogant and arrogant, and he lost his hand." She whispered, "Lock her up until she gets married." ”
Xie Rouhui laughed.
"Missed?" She lowered her voice and said, "Missed? ”
She reached out and pointed at herself.
"I almost died, I almost died! Is she a miss? ”
She continued to whisper, squeezing the two repeated words from between her teeth.
"Miss!"
"Locked up, she will be finished, and when she is thirteen years old, she will be allowed to marry, she will not wait until she is fifteen or sixteen years old, she will marry far away, and this life will be like this." Xie Yao said in a low voice.
Xie Rouhui smacked her face.
Xie Yao closed his eyes and didn't dare to move.
"Locked up? After the age of thirteen, will she have fewer days to turn over? Xie Rouhui gritted her teeth and raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Wait for half a year?" Don't say half a year, maybe she will be praised as a pearl in the palm of her hand tomorrow! ”
"Then, if she doesn't turn over, this incident can't be an accident." Xie Yao said in a low voice.
Xie Rouhui smiled.
"This incident, of course, is not an accident." She said.
Before the words fell, I heard a commotion outside, Xie Rouhui frowned, it was a movement from her mother's side.
At this time, the movement on the mother's side cannot be neglected at all.
"Someone." She shouted loudly.
Xie Yao hurriedly knelt down and raised his hand to hit his face.
"It's all my fault, Megumi, it's all my fault." She cried.
A girl came in quickly outside the door, saw Xie Yao like this, and then saw that Xie Rouhui was struggling to reach out to help stop Xie Yao.
"Don't do this, don't do this." Xie Rouhui choked up and said, the person was about to fall off the Luohan bed.
The girls were startled and hurriedly came over, one supporting Xie Yao and the other supporting Xie Rouhui.
"Miss Yao, our young lady's leg is injured and she can't move." The big girl said, "Don't make a fuss. ”
Xie Yao cried at this time, and the girls saw that her face was red and swollen, and they couldn't help but sigh that they were really sincere and ruthless, and they were busy fetching water to scrub her.
"What's going on out there?" Xie Rouhui asked, looking out the window, with a worried face, "Mother, haven't they rested yet?" ”
"It's JMC." A girl hesitated and said.
"Is Jiajia going to see her grandmother and mother?" Xie Rouhui asked, raising her hand to wipe the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
The girl shook her head.
"It's Jiang Ling who said that the second lady wants to see you." She said, "Say, the second lady wants to ask the eldest lady why." ”
Xie Rouhui's hand wiping the corners of her mouth stopped and smiled.
"Okay." "I'm going to ask her why, too." ”
