Chapter 12: The Death of Oblivion

The candlelight in Gao's room faintly scattered on an empty bowl next to the bed, and a hollow reed pipe rested on top of the bowl.

Gao sighed and withdrew the hand that was on his son Shen Ge'er's forehead. Brother Shen was so sick that she sucked the medicine she took and fed it little by little.

Several children in the Zhou family fell ill one after another, and it was to no avail that they had a famous doctor, and Gao was almost desperate. But a fight ended during the day, and Gao, who was also called into Mrs. Zhou's room, subconsciously caught a little light.

The mother-in-law knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, but the rebuttal of the younger brother-in-law Du Shi went deeper into Gao's heart. "The son is the mother's life, even if the day is going to rob it, the mother must stay."

Who else can Shen'er rely on besides her mother? Gao raised the handkerchief to cover a pair of red and swollen eyes, and tears oozed out little by little through the handkerchief.

Du Shi, who is not favored by his mother-in-law like himself, is the youngest daughter-in-law, bright and delicate, and he is very popular with the fifth uncle. Even if she only had one daughter under her knees for many years, the fifth uncle still knelt down again and again to refuse the people in the house that her mother-in-law wanted to put in the fifth room.

But by herself, her mother-in-law doesn't like it, and her husband Zhou Bai likes good colors. Not to mention anything else, even the maid who doesn't want the fifth uncle can be stuffed into Zhou Bai's bed by her mother-in-law the next day, anyway, for the second room, one more and one less is nothing.

When Zhou Bai took office in Chuzhou, he left his wife and sister-in-law at home to serve his in-laws and take his concubine to take his concubine. I heard that the one at the tip of his heart was also respected as a "lady" by outsiders in Chuzhou.

The second room is prosperous, and he Zhou Bai and Zhou Jingxuan have a bunch of beautiful concubines and children. A trace of ridicule flashed across Gao's face, he bowed his head, put it on his son's forehead, and murmured, "Shen'er, Shen'er, get better, mother is the only one ...... you"

The galaxy is shattered, and the fog is moving and turning......

When the sky was dark, Zhou Manyun was awakened by a sharp cry.

She sat up straight from the bed, lifted the quilt, turned over, got out of bed, put on her clothes and shoes, and walked straight to the door, wanting to go out to see what was going on.

As his illness improved over the past few days, Zhou Manyun's vigilance in his previous life seemed to have gradually returned to his body, and as soon as he subconsciously heard the voice, he reacted like an adult.

The action was quite neat, and the expression was serious, but with the small body of a five-year-old child, Du Shi, who was also up, shouted a little angrily, "Zhou Manyun! ”

Zhou Manyun's hand rested on the door bolt, paused for a while, and then slowly turned around in fear, with a panicked expression, "Mother!" ”

"I've been sick for a while, but I've become a stupid bold!" , The curled finger knocked on Man Yun's head, Du Shi was already dressed, and glanced at Zhu's mother.

Mother Zhu hurriedly hugged Zhou Manyun.

"Can't sleep! Fear! Zhou Manyun pointed to her heart and asked Zhu's mother to help her dress, under Zhu's mother's big hand, her small body couldn't stop trembling gently.

She is afraid, not afraid of the sound outside, just listening to it is just a dead person, and she has seen a lot of various ways to die in the troubled times, and she can hold on. She was afraid that she would be wearing the shell of a child but she would not be able to control the mature soul in her body, and she was even more afraid that the bad luck of the Zhou family in her previous life would still be ingrained in her shadow, and even if she was reborn, she would still have to face death one by one.

Du Shi went out with his front foot, and Zhu's mother, who was holding Man Yun with her back foot, also stood by the door and opened half of the curtain.

In the courtyard, there was a woman kneeling bitterly, and the corpse of a child lay quietly beside her.

Zhou Manyun felt a little dizzy, and buried her little face on Zhu's mother's fat shoulder. The eyes seem to be filled with the whiteness of the funeral of the Zhou family in Huocheng in the previous life, has the bad luck in the previous life come again?

Soon, in addition to Du's, there were more adults in the courtyard.

"Madam, you have to call the shots for Brother Wen!" , The kneeling woman, her voice drifting more sharply in the morning breeze, stubbornly wanted to get into the crack in the door of Mrs. Zhou's upper room.

"Aunt Wang of the uncle's family, it should be Brother Wen who died!" , Mother Zhu's voice sounded clearly in Zhou Manyun's ears.

Mother Zhu also hid a little smug in her heart when she explained, because her Sister Yun was really a brave child, she only lay on her for a short time at first, and then calmly asked questions in her ear. If it weren't for this, Zhu's mother would definitely boast even louder.

Brother Wen? Aunt Wang? Were there any of these people in a past life? Zhou Manyun stared at the courtyard without blinking, looking dazed.

The most profound and tragic scene of childhood memories in the previous life is the funeral of the Zhou family in Huocheng in Yongde Layue, and among the white paper money fluttering in half the city, a line of black coffins meanders along, some big and some small.

There are also people in the long house who have died, and they are still often remembered by the elders from time to time. But in Pingzhou, he lost a brother due to illness, and Aunt Wang with a big belly, Zhou Manyun was not impressed.

At this time, Xie cleaned up, walked out of the room with a few people, moved slowly, and stopped at Aunt Wang's side.

Aunt Wang, who was crying, ignored the tiptoes of Xie Shi's fixed beside her, but she spotted a figure secretly hiding behind the crowd, and wanted to pounce on it regardless of it, "Big girl! Girl! You should pass me, and you will definitely save your brother! ”

From afar, Aunt Wang was firmly held by a few maids.

Hearing the maid's half-word relay, Zhou Manhua, who came in a hurry, was so frightened that he let out a frightened scream.

"Don't take the big girl back to the room yet!" , Xie Shi drank, and several maids hugged Zhou Manhua, who was weak and weak, and avoided the corridor of the West Chamber.

Girl? Through the half-opened curtain, Zhou Manyun saw Zhou Manhua who was coming straight to see it clearly.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, just like the seedlings full of water in the early summer morning, the delicate body is straight, the face is beautiful, the eyebrows and lips are relaxed, but the face is a little pale, but this is what I was frightened just now. The healthy and shiny skin shows that her body at this time is actually very good.

In their previous life, they said that Zhou Manhua also had the same disease as other children and died of illness in Pingzhou! Zhou Manyun raised his head and stared at Zhou Manhua, who was healthy, and narrowed his pupils.

Feeling the blazing gaze staring at him, Zhou Manhua turned his head lightly and touched Man Yun, and then, Zhou Manhua bowed his head in shame amid the crying in the courtyard, picked up his skirt and ran towards his room.

Aunt Wang in the courtyard was still kneeling, loudly denouncing Xie and Zhou Manhua's mother, sister or sister, regardless of dragging Brother Wen to death, tears were falling, the words were terrible, and she was sad to hear.

The fourth grandmother Min's body shook forward, and her hand was dragged by Aunt Bai, "Don't worry too much, Gao is in the room, and he hasn't come out!" ”

Min was stunned, and his body calmed down, but he was immediately frightened by what he heard and saw next.

In the small courtyard, Xie Shi, who had been watching Aunt Wang make a fuss and kept silent, took the black pottery medicine pot handed by a maid on the side, and smashed it on the ground, and the broken black pottery shards splashed up with dark green medicinal juice, and scratched a bloody mark on Aunt Wang's face.

"I haven't asked you about the sin of ruining your uncle's blood! Last night, I asked the nurse to take care of Brother Wen, and I will ask for a doctor again this morning. But what did you give him to drink in private? ”

What did you drink? Aunt Wang didn't need to answer, everyone had clearly figured out the fishy smell faintly diffusing from the air.

"This medicine was just found in your room! Brother Wen's room has its own nurse and maid to take care of it, but you, but you are just a playful child who gave birth to him once in the belly, but you can find this life-threatening medicine in private, and secretly took away the people around your brother in the middle of the night and fed him medicine, you tell me what your intentions are! ”

Xie scolded happily, picked up the handkerchief in his hand, covered his face, bent down, and cried at Wen Ge'er's corpse.

Did he stuff the money and silver out last night, and let the medicine bought back by the outer courtyard kill Brother Wen? Aunt Wang, who was still loudly begging for her mother-in-law just now, was frightened stupid by Xie's sharp snatching, and sat on the ground with her butt collapsed.

The courtyard was silent, and the Xie family, who didn't hear any strange noises, slowly stood up with the support of the maid.

She first looked sad, and pointed to the child corpse at her feet, "You guys wrap Brother Wen first, don't let your mother be sad!" ”

Then he drank to a few sturdy servants, and told them to take Aunt Wang down.

But Aunt Wang, who was already stupid, saw the white cloth covering the child's body, and threw herself up madly, and when she was torn open, her red and swollen teary eyes saw the curtain of Manyun's door move slightly.

"No, not me! Sister Yun took that medicine and took haode! Aunt Wang realized from the guilt of being accused of killing her own son, shook off everyone, held her big belly high, and rushed towards Man Yun who was standing by the door.

Aunt Wang's momentum to break free was very strong, the path in the courtyard that had not been dried in the morning dew was slippery again, and her whole body fell straight forward, and a figure hurriedly helped her, but she took it and pressed it heavily under her.

"Mother!" , Manyun's screams rang out!
