171, a city of frost
"Bury me next to your mother, so you don't have to disturb her peace."
His eyes were removed from the snow and placed on Xu Zhiyi's body, looking at Xu Zhiyi with bright eyes.
"Zhiyi, you don't seem to have called me dad yet, now call me."
Xu Zhiyi was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he thought he was asking too much and closed his eyes.
"Dad" Xu Zhiyi called softly, in the silent room, the landing could be heard.
"Daddy" he raised a latitude.
Xu Hongyan raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Good, good, good." ”
After a long time, he said, "I'm sleepy, you can go out." ”
"Remember to close the windows."
Xu Zhiyi glanced at the food and medicine that had not been touched and said, "Okay." ”
It snowed heavily overnight, and the next day there was still no sign of stopping.
Doctor Niu said: "The road will be closed in a long time, and I can't walk." ”
Ye Xuanqing said: "Old man, does it usually fall very heavily here?" ”
Doctor Niu said: "It's very big, the closer the snow in Jizhou gets closer to the New Year's Pass, the heavier it becomes." ”
The avenue is only white, and there are no living creatures in sight.
"If you want to go, I'm afraid you won't."
Ye Xuanqing said deliberately: "How do you know that we are leaving." ”
Doctor Niu glanced at her and said, "Is it possible that you still want to stay here with me." ”
Isn't he going to go back when he finishes his errands, he really doesn't understand.
"Also, don't talk so close to me."
"I can hear you."
I didn't see that the faces of the people next to me were dark, and I didn't restrain myself.
Ye Xuanqing said: "I'm not afraid that you won't be able to hear." ”
She thinks Dr. Niu is very interesting, as long as it is what he wants to hear, make sure that it is not word-for-word, but if it is something that he thinks is not important or does not want to hear, you have to be louder, there is no guarantee that he can hear it.
Ye Xuanqing looked at him and said, "By the way, old man, don't you have an earth dragon here, why don't you burn it." ”
Doctor Niu said: "That thing is too expensive, my old man doesn't have that money." ”
But the silver charcoal you burn is not cheap, and she silently discharges in her heart.
"If you have one, you can give me some, and I'll burn it next winter."
Ye Xuanqing hurriedly said: "I don't have any money, I'm much poorer than you." ”
"What do you say, be louder."
Night Xuanqing ......
Suddenly, there was the sound of bowls breaking in the back room.
Dr. Niu got up from his stool and rushed in.
Xu Hongyan died, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was dreaming something.
Dr. Niu closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slipped down his cheeks.
He sent another one away.
Xu Zhiyi picked up the fragments of the bowl, put them on the low table next to him, and said, "Grandpa, do you have thick clothes?" ”
Doctor Niu said: "Scholar, bring Xu Hongyan's padded jacket." ”
After Xu Zhiyi put on his clothes, he carried the person on his back.
Doctor Niu said: "Zhiyi, what are you doing." ”
Xu Zhiyi said: "Take him back." ”
He promised him last night to take him back.
Jiang Pingzhou said from outside the door: "The snow is too big, you wait for me to let people sweep out a road first." ”
Xu Zhiyi carried Xu Hongyan and said, "No." ”
Then, despite the obstacles of the people, he went out of the house.
The wind mixed with the snow was blowing on his face, Xu Zhiyi didn't feel like he walked forward, he didn't go back from the road he came from, but went along the road.
The scholar showed him the way in front, and he didn't know how many times he had walked this road, only this time he didn't want to go.
He hasn't waited for the spring to bloom.
Ye Xuanqing looked at it for more than ten minutes and said, "I'm also leaving." ”
Chu Ling took her hand and said, "Together." ”
"Hmm."
I don't know why she always felt sad, they had just solved all the misunderstandings, and before they could speak in a hurry, the person disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Many people floated through her mind, everyone in the Duan family, Fu Shu,...... In the end, it was fixed on Chu Yan, whether he was also fast.
Is it that after a year passes, you can't see him.
Doctor Ergen and Doctor Niu stayed, one of them was old, and the other was still young and it was inconvenient to come out.
The snow was very heavy and deep, and Xu Zhiyi fell to the ground several times, and then got up again, leaving deep and shallow footprints on the snow.
Gradually, we walked out into the street, which was very quiet, and every place was whitened with snow, and no one was in sight.
People are hiding in their homes on snowy days.
A child quietly opened a corner of the window and peeked out.
The child shouted, "Daddy, there's someone outside." ”
"Stinky boy, what are you doing, what should I do if I get cold."
"Don't hurry up and put it down."
The man walked over and picked the child off the stool.
Just as he was about to close the window, he suddenly saw a man covered in snow, who got up from the ground, and looked closely at the back of a person on his back.
"the child, I'll go out for a while, you take a good look at Xiaobao."
The man ran to Xu Zhiyi and asked, "Brother, do you need help?" ”
Xu Zhiyi looked at the man and said, "Thank you, no need." ”
Only then did the man see him and the man on his back.
For a moment, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
Didn't Uncle Xu be burned to death by fire?
How to be here.
It looks like I still don't know how long I've been dead.
Suddenly, I turned around and saw that there were people following me, all covered in snow.
Xu Zhiyi carried Xu Hongyan back to Xu's house.
At this time, the Xu family was ransacked, and no one was seen.
Xu Zhiyi and Xu Youniang's yard has been burned down.
He took Xu Hongyan to the ancestral hall, put the futons together, put him on the futon, and patted the snow off his body.
Ye Xuanqing and the others followed him into the Xu Mansion.
At this time, Ye Xuanqing's lips were already white.
Chu Ling stroked the snowflakes on her body and said, "We won't go there." ”
He dragged her to the hall, where it would be warmer.
And Jiang Pingzhou went back to the post house to find Jiang Pingyang.
After entering the hall, Ye Xuanqing sat down and saw a hand stretched out through the curtain.
Ye Xuan was startled.
Although she was bold, she couldn't stand being so scared.
Chu Ling went over and lifted the screen, and saw the old lady Xu inside shrinking towards him.
Keep reaching out to him.
With blood flowing from his mouth, he shouted inarticulately, "Help, help, save me." ”
Ye Xuanqing pulled Chu Ling over at once.
"What's the matter with you, I don't know what to do if you hide a little and be touched by her."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, if he dares to touch me, he will chop off his hand." ”
Ye Xuanqing said: "It's so cruel, forget it, I'll dirty your hands when I go back." ”
Chu Ling said, "Okay, I won't do it." ”
Ye Xuanqing said: "Then let's go, I don't want to stay in the same room with her." ”
Chu Ling said, "Okay, let's leave." ”
Mrs. Xu looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and she was about to be angry with them, but she was no better at this time.
She felt cold and aching, but no one came to her aid.
Yesterday, the Li family and the women in the backyard had a big fight.
Xu Zhizhang's mother rebelled against the Li family.
Their deeds of sale were all with Mrs. Xu, and Li thought that his son and husband were already in prison.
They don't know if there is still a life to come out, her husband she doesn't plan to save it, in addition to Xu Zhizhuo, she also has several children, fight for the eldest son, if she can save it, if she can't save it, forget it, she can't give up all her children for him.
But Mrs. Xu is such a selfish person, she didn't see her anxious when her husband was gone, but put up the old lady's pu.
So they hit it off.
invited Mrs. Xu to the main hall, at first Mrs. Xu thought that they were here to curry favor with her, but after all, the property of the Xu family is now in her hands.
She doesn't think badly.
At first, a group of women all spoke well in front of her and were polite to her, but when they asked to sell their deeds, Mrs. Xu knew their purpose.
She began to threaten: "If you don't obey, I'll sell you all to the kiln." ”
The kiln is the most inferior place in Southern Chu, and the people who serve it are some vulgar and unbearable people.
Mrs. Xu's words offended them all.
Seeing that she looked like a matter of course, Li was horrified, her mother-in-law was even more selfish than she thought, and she might have been sold that day.
She represents a group of women who were jealous in the past, and now her allies said: "Mother, we are here to get the deed of sale, and now that the husband has been arrested, it is not easy to come out." ”
"So my mother gave those deeds of sale to my sisters first, so that we can find a way to bring the princess out together."
Old Mrs. Xu said, "Li, what do you mean." ”
Li said: "Mother should know that the younger sisters were originally women from good families, but they were forced to write a deed of sale after entering the Xu Mansion, and now is the time to return it to them." ”
"Mother think about it."
Mrs. Xu said, "You guys are here to force me." ”
She turned around and was about to leave, she would go to the servants now and sell them all, anyway, the slaves were all sold, and they were not bad, not to mention that these were all good colors, and they would definitely be sold for a good price.
"Sisters, stop her, if this old woman leaves here, we won't have a good life."
"As for the deed of sale, it's not on her anyway, it's in her bedroom, and we'll find it ourselves."
Li is worthy of being a big celebrity in front of Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu can't hide anything from her eyes.
Originally, she still felt a little guilty, but Mrs. Xu didn't feel sorry for her.
But with the look in Mrs. Xu's eyes just now, she knew that she was planning to sell them all.
She can have this intuition, all because of the appearance of Mrs. Xu when she sold the slaves in the house.
At that time, the old lady was even more excessive, she asked the old woman who had served her for decades to find the people, but when she was selling, she turned to the old servant and smiled kindly, and sold the people together in a blink of an eye, no matter how much they pleaded, they did not change their attention.
It is said that Mrs. Xu herself lost her talisman, if she had left her own subordinates, she would not have been surrounded by a group of women now, and she would not have been allowed to get out.
In the end, he found a deed of sale on Mrs. Xu.
