In a lively and prosperous ancient town, people come and go, the river is endless, and the lights of thousands of homes illuminate people's yearning for life.

A woman was full of violence and kept whipping a man kneeling in front of her. I saw the woman scolding while beating, "Meng Xingchen, a useless thing like you, you should have died a long time ago, what are you doing in the world?" My mother is so unlucky because she married you, and she will lose every time she gambles. If you can't pay the money tomorrow, I'll sell you to the Qinglou. "This person is Meng Xingchen's wife, Feng Lengyue

Meng Xingchen was so frightened by her words that he trembled, his eyes were full of fear and sadness, he knelt in front of Feng Lengyue, and kept begging bitterly, "Wife, I know it's wrong, I will definitely work hard to embroider and work hard to earn money." Don't sell me to the Qinglou, okay? ”

Feng Lengyue snorted, kicked Meng Xingchen's abdomen hard, and then, swaggering out, Meng Xingchen fell to the ground, and could only cry silently in pain.

But when Feng Lengyue walked to the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a cold smile to Meng Xingchen. "If I come back at noon tomorrow and you don't get the money together for me, you just wait to pick me up at the Qinglou! I think; With your beauty, you're worth a lot of money. ”

After Meng Xingchen heard this, his body, which was already trembling with fear, trembled even more now. His eyes were full of fear, and even his voice trembled a little, and he said to Feng Lengyue, "Remember, don't worry, wife, I will definitely work hard." Feng Lengyue ignored him and turned to leave...

Meng Xingchen supported his embarrassed body with his hands, trembling and slowly trying to stand up. But after trying a few times, he fell to the ground again, he pressed his abdomen with his hand, where Feng Lengyue kicked hard just now, probably because it was too painful, he shrunk his body into a ball...

His arms and back were covered in blood. It was whipped by Feng Lengyue just now. He closed his eyes and lay on the ground for a while, and a voice in his heart told him that he must not be sold to the Qinglou, and he could no longer follow in his father's footsteps.

When his body regained some strength, he opened his eyes, there was a hint of firmness in his eyes, and he slowly climbed up. He began to clean up the mess that filled the house, and despite the pain all over his body, he was tired and hungry, but he used all his strength to clean up the house.

Then he went to a cabinet in the kitchen and took out a small Louzi, which contained a few steamed buns, which was when he went to the town this morning and sent embroidered handkerchiefs to Chen Yuanwai's concubine, and the concubine liked his embroidered handkerchiefs very much, so he rewarded him with a few steamed buns and a bowl of meat. He didn't want to eat, he wanted to wait for his wife to come back in the evening and have dinner with her, but today his wife lost his gambling again! When I came back, I beat him up and got angry, and then left...

He filled a bowl of water, and then took the steamed bun and chewed it slowly, his eyes were red, in fact, he was very aggrieved and sad, but he couldn't cry, because his eyes were swollen from crying, and his eyesight was not good, so he couldn't embroider the best embroidery, and his embroidery was notoriously good in the town. There are also a lot of people looking for him to embroider, so he basically has endless work. After eating, he put Lou Zi, who still had steamed buns, into the cupboard, thinking that if his wife came back hungry tomorrow, he could still eat.

Then he went into the house and lit the lamp. He found a white cloth and wrapped his hands around them, for he had many wounds on his hands, some of which were even suppurated. He was afraid of staining the guests' things, so it would be better to wrap them in cloth and embroider them.

When everything was ready, he picked up the frame and slowly embroidered it stitch by stitch. The light shone on his beautiful face, giving off a faint and soft light. It was as if the whole world had fallen silent because of his beauty.

He is very beautiful, with long eyelashes, a straight nose, red lips that are not dotted, and delicate facial features, each of which is like the most perfect masterpiece of heaven. The three thousand green silks descended vertically, becoming the most perfect painting.

Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually brightened, and when the sun shone on his face through the window, he reached out and rubbed his beautiful eyes, and the blue and tired face under them proved that he had not slept all night. He rubbed his sore arm, then went to the well and struggled to carry a bucket of water, bathed himself, and changed into shabby but clean clothes. ate a steamed bun, and then went to the town to send embroidery to the husband of Li Zhutou's family...

Meng Xingchen walked into Li Zhutou's house, and just wanted the housekeeper to tell Li Zhutou's husband, saying that the embroidery he wanted had been embroidered and sent it to him today, but before Meng Xingchen could speak, he saw Li Zhutou's husband coming over, so he stepped forward and said to him with a smile, "I have embroidered the embroidery you want, and I will send it to you now." ”

Li Zhutou's husband looked at him incredulously as if he had seen a ghost, and said, "Why did you come here to send me embroidery?" Don't you know what happened to your wife? Your wife was killed last night because she was fighting with the daughter of the rich man in Baixiang Building for prostitutes, and she went to the government, and now the body is still in Baixiang Building? My wife went to the yamen before dawn to deal with this matter, you better hurry up..."Before the word "look" was finished, he saw Meng Xingchen running out desperately, he could only shake his head and sigh and say, "It's so beautiful, but it's a hard person!" Maybe this is jealousy! ”

Meng Xingchen ran desperately to Baixiang Building with a white face, and his ears kept echoing, what Li Zhutou said: Your wife was killed last night because she was fighting with the daughter of the rich man in Baixiang Building for prostitutes! The words 'killed' kept ringing in his ears...

But he didn't believe it was true anyway, he just hoped it was a nightmare, and he woke up as he ran. He didn't know how long he had been running, and how he wished that the road would never come to an end! So maybe he won't see his wife's body, but the reality is always cruel...

When Meng Xingchen came to the door of Baixiang Building, he saw a group of people pointing around and not knowing what he was talking about, and someone saw Meng Xingchen and immediately said, "Look, isn't that Feng Lengyue's husband?" Alas! It's a pity, such a beautiful beauty! At a young age, he became a widow...".

Someone disdainfully replied, "What's the use of long beauty!" I think he is the lone star of the heavens, specifically scourge the closest people around him, whoever gets close to him, in the end will not die well, he first killed his father, after marrying into the Feng family, the Feng family was ruined, and now he has killed his wife, I think this kind of person should not live in the world..."
