91. Decision
I really thought it was okay after knowing it, Li Wu didn't say it, Yang Liu really didn't find out that Li Cong had left.
After recalling the meaning of Li Wu's words, everyone was a little curious about what Li Cong was doing. Since Li Wu is asking, there must be his reason, not that simple and common reason.
"Hey, hey." Li Cong scratched his head and smiled without answering.
"Say it, say it, fifth brother say it quickly." Xiuxiu urged: "Really, everyone is very curious, you are still selling guanzi there, and you are trying to tease us for fun." ”
"It's just going back to the old job." Li Cong replied.
Could it be that Jingye still went hunting at this time? This depends on how much smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave to make this possible.
"Okay, okay, pack up and go back." He raised his hands, put his hands on Zixuan and Zimo's shoulders, and stood quietly aside, watching his daughters-in-law clean up.
At this time, there was a high-pitched exclamation from the bottom of the mountain, mixed with the voice of a man cursing loudly, "Which heartless eye dug a hole in the road?" ”
Everyone instantly understood that hunting is Li Cong's old job, and digging pits and traps is the basic skill.
He's mood brightened suddenly, there are still benefits to having a son, even if he is angry in person, there are still people who take revenge. He was in a good mood, and even looked at Yang Liu well, beckoned Yang Liu to pass, and asked Yang Liu in a soft voice if he was still dizzy.
As night approached, a dark rain cloud drifted in the sky. Then came a sudden wind, bringing a chill.
"It's going to rain." Cuibei curled his fingers and hooked a strand of hair that was blown to his cheeks by the wind, pinned it behind his ear, and glanced at Du's room.
A series of lanterns under the porch. Two lines lit up, and the lantern, which was blown a little uneasy by the wind, swayed gently. All the subordinates of the Du family are in the garden. Groups of three or five, standing or kneeling. The wind is blowing. Except for the occasional low sob, the whole garden was solemn.
"Miss, everyone's here." Cuibei said.
The wind was so strong that it drowned out many other sounds, and even Du's sound seemed vague. But this sound fell accurately in everyone's ears, like a signal, and several women kneeling in the garden immediately began to cry out for injustice.
"Miss, the slaves and maids are wronged, it's really none of the slaves' business."
"Miss, be gracious."
"Even if the slave eats the ambition leopard, the gall doesn't dare to harm the eldest lady. Miss Mingjian. ”
The mothers who were in charge of a few things in the kitchen were a little uncomfortable, moved their feet slightly, and didn't dare to look at them slightly. originally thought that the Du family had a simple population, and there was no such thing as intrigue, but who knew that something went wrong, and it was not an ordinary fork. What they hear the most is that eating food mixed with bad things leads to miscarriages, or mixing several kinds of pollen, combined with special introductions and the like, and they never know that this kind of thing can be blamed on the janitor.
Du Shi can quickly know what the whole thing is about. It's just that she once rehearsed this qiē on the person her dad loves the most, but she didn't expect it to be used by Tracey. Once a person has mastered all his habits. These habits are likely to turn into a sharp knife that stabs you in reverse. Tochen's diet is preferred, like flowers. The bamboo flute that sees things and thinks about people, and there is a silly girl, the time and place are favorable. There is no shortage of anything.
She deliberately let Zixuan and Zimo stay at Li's house for one night, just to break them up. Get justice for the child in her belly. But should she be blamed for the habits she has developed over the years, or the one who knows her habits? Du knew that from today she would break a certain habit, or get rid of it. People who don't have weaknesses are not vulnerable.
The man kneeling in the garden at this moment is very innocent, but someone has to pay for it. Who told you not to keep an eye on Tracey? The idea seems a little childish, but who dictates that she can't do whatever she wants?
The heavy twenty boards go down, and they are not allowed to ask for a doctor, whether they live or die, they are each resigned to their fate.
In the bloodstains that had just been diluted by the well water, a person knelt down again.
The two housekeepers held their arms and pressed them on their shoulders until their knees hit the cold bluestone slab. Xiya came back to her senses a little, is there a mistake? She didn't murder the eldest lady, how could she be pushed here?
"The murder of the eldest lady has been found out, and the culprit is the former eldest maid Tracy." Cuibei explained, and his gaze slowly swept over everyone.
The people in the garden began to talk to each other slightly, and they would never have thought that the culprit was actually Tracy, a girl who had left the Du family. How can a girl who has lost her position have the ability to murder the eldest lady?
The first few housekeepers to figure it out were all white-faced, which means that if Tracey wants to succeed, she will definitely borrow someone's hand. These people must have been very good, who had been favored, or who had some handle in the hands of Tracy. This has to put everyone at risk, today's posture is clearly that the master already knows it, if there is a personal feud in Cuibei, in order to survive, they desperately recall any clues that may be cleared.
Ximei, who originally thought it was the personal vendetta of the Cuibei Communiqué that pushed Xiya out to take the blame, also figured it out, and secretly clenched his fists, Xiya is in a big disaster this time. offended Cuibei, at least there is a way to live, and now the eldest lady has a miscarriage, I'm afraid
This stupid girl, she had long persuaded her to stay away from Tracy, but now she is being used as a pawn, and she is not far from death.
Under the influence of Ximei, Xiya also understood that she was considered to be Tracey's accomplice, although she didn't think that Tracey had the ability to hurt the eldest lady, she still said: "I didn't help Tracey's sister murder the eldest lady, but just returned a bamboo flute to the eldest lady." ”
Stupid girl, what are you going to do, do you think your crime is too light?
Cuibei looked at Xiya and said coldly: "It's the bamboo flute smeared with special medicinal powder that hurt the eldest lady." ”
"How could it be......" Xiya sat on her calf all of a sudden, her face full of disbelief, how could it be, how could it be like this? Shouldn't it, could it be that Tracey borrowed her hand to avenge the eldest lady's merciless revenge?
In the end, tears clouded her vision, and Xiya looked up to the sky and asked, "Sister Tracy, why did you lie to me?" ”
The wind howled, rolling up a few leaves and blowing everyone's robes.
The door creaked open, and Du Shi was wearing a thick cloak and standing there supported by a second-class girl. The body is thin, the lips are colorless, and the long hair is scattered behind the back, obviously looking like a serious illness has not recovered, but the eyes are very sharp.
"Say hello to the eldest lady." Suddenly, all the people in the garden were shorter.
"Great, Miss." Xiya suddenly shouted loudly, but lost her courage in an instant, and lowered her head timidly and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Cuibei took the place of the second-class girl, and carefully carried Du Shi out of the house.
"Good thing you know you're wrong." A smile rose at the corner of Du Shi's lips, and he quickly calmed down, and said coldly: "It's just that everyone has to pay for their stupidity. Come on, kill this girl! ”
It is not an apology that should be forgiven. It's not that every word of sorry will answer that it's okay.
And her child is gone, how can it be okay?
Listening to the crackling sound of the thick board hitting the meat, Xiya struggled away, and kept crying for mercy, Du Shi frowned.
"Miss, why don't you shut that girl's mouth." Cuibei noticed it and built yì road.
"Not necessarily." Du shook his head slightly. She has so much, and it may not be that she is not an example of killing chickens and monkeys. The Du family has been quiet for too many years, and those subordinates have lost their original vigilance.
And the painful begging for mercy with tears and snot fell on Ximei's ears, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart, ran a few steps forward, and suddenly froze there.
Cuibei slowly retracted his gaze.
And one more.
At night, Du stood in front of the window, looking at a few stars in the night sky.
Cuibei put the tray in his hand on the table and stepped forward to close the window. He turned around and tightened the cloak on Du Shi's body, and said, "Miss, you are not in good health, and the wind is cold at night, how can you stand in front of the window?" ”
Du Shi smiled, "I thought it was going to rain, but I didn't expect to see the stars, and the stars are really bright tonight." ”
"That's because it's too dark."
Without a foil, where is the comparison?
Shaking her head and refusing Cuibei's request for her to sit on the bed, Du Shi said, "Just sit here for a while." ”
Cuibei hurriedly laid out a thick cushion before he sat down on the round bench with Du Shi.
Looking sideways at Cuibei's action of blowing the medicine cold with the medicine bowl, Du Shi was a little stunned, as if someone had done such an action a long time ago. It's just that it's been a long time, and there is only one back left in the once warm scene, and even people can't see it clearly. Du Shi couldn't help frowning, trying to remember who that person was.
Cuibei, who was uncomfortable with Du's view, realized that he had exceeded the rules, and hurriedly put down the bowl and apologized to Du's. In the past, when she was sick, her mother also helped her blow the medicine cold, and she did the same by inertia. But what is Du Shi's identity, he will definitely dislike that she may accidentally blow saliva into the medicine bowl.
"I'll ask the kitchen to refresh another bowl of medicine." Cuibei put the medicine bowl back in the tray and prepared to take it away.
"No, just this bowl." Duch shook his hand.
"But ......," Cuibei hesitated.
Du Shi turned his gaze to the bonsai on the high table and said, "Actually, I'm not that kind of person. ”
is not thirsty for killing, not stingy, but this qiē can only be established on the premise that others do not threaten her. The qiē she has now is something she has worked hard to earn, and no one is allowed to covet it, never.
Cuibei was slightly stunned, only then did he understand what Du Shi was referring to tonight, and said: "If you do something wrong, you must be punished, Miss has not done anything wrong, so you don't need to feel uneasy." ”
After a while, Du Shi nodded, "Thank you." (To be continued......)
