Chapter 2: Uncle Lost Soul

"It's been several hours, why hasn't my uncle woken up yet?"

"Hey, it's so pitiful, Miss Tang originally wanted to smash that surnamed Dong, but accidentally smashed the wrong uncle who was passing by......"

"What a passing, I saw it clearly upstairs at the time, my uncle fell to the ground, and he was still holding the hydrangea tightly, letting those people punch and kick him, and he wouldn't let go......"

"Uncle must like Miss very much, I don't want Miss to marry someone surnamed Dong, I don't want Miss to jump into the fire pit to do that......"

"Of course, people in Lingzhou City who like young ladies can line up from here to the city gate!"

……

In the Zhong Mansion, several maids gathered in the courtyard, talking quietly, and sometimes glancing at a certain door.

A little farther away, a middle-aged man with a neutral face stood under the porch, looked at the beautiful woman beside him, and said slightly angrily: "How can you be so self-assertive about such a big thing as throwing hydrangea to recruit relatives!" ”

Qingli woman smiled and said, "It's better to marry someone than to be pestered all the time." ”

"But you can't ...... either" The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything more, and finally sighed, "It's Dad I'm sorry for you......"

The woman raised her face, smiled again, and said, "Dad, it's okay, my daughter is now a married woman, and Dong Tingshi will not use this matter to embarrass you in the future." ”

"I don't agree with this family business......!" A trace of firmness appeared on the middle-aged man's face, gritted his teeth, and said: "Although my father is not as good as the surname Dong, the size is also a county order, and he eats the imperial court, so he doesn't dare to be too ......."

Before he finished his words, a maid ran over and said in a panic: "Master, miss, my uncle is awake, my uncle is awake!" ”

……

When Tang Ning opened his eyes, there was still a faint pain in his head, and his consciousness was a little blurry.

"It's over, it's over!" He jerked himself up from the bed.

Bang!

There was a sharp pain on his forehead again, and he covered his forehead, looking at a woman in a green dress who was also covering his forehead and glaring at him angrily, stunned in place.

An antique room with a group of people dressed in ancient costumes and clothes......

It's not a dream, the little beggar who saved him, the cabbage-stuffed bun, this strange ancient world------ it's not a dream!

"Where's my stuff!" As if he remembered something, he began to look left and right, and was relieved to see that the "murder weapon" was still tightly held in his arms.

Fortunately, the evidence was not lost.

He only now had time to take a closer look at what had been smashed at him, it was a ball, wrapped in red silk on the outside, solid on the inside, solid on the inside, he pinched, it was hard, it was heavy, it was most likely stone.

Fortunately, there was a layer of silk outside, otherwise he wouldn't have been knocked unconscious.

He was holding the "murder weapon" and was about to question who had smashed him just now, when a young girl ran over and said happily: "Uncle, you are awake!" ”

"Don't get close to me, I don't know you......" Tang Ning waved his hand, "I tell you, the human and material evidence is all ......, wait, what did you just call me?" ”

"Uncle!" The girl looked at him and said with a smile: "Uncle took Miss's hydrangea, it is the uncle of the Zhong family, we have all seen it, in order to prevent Miss from marrying the surname Dong, my uncle held the hydrangea and didn't let go of it......"

"Wait a minute......"

Downing's mind was a little messy, and he needed to brush it up.

Miss, ------ uncle, throwing hydrangeas?

What hydrangea did he catch thrown by Miss Zhong and became the uncle of the Zhong family?

But ------ Tangning looked down at the thing in his hand, this thing, is it a hydrangea?

Do you stuff stones into hydrangeas?

And that's throwing, that's smashing!

What's more, who knows what that Miss Zhong family looks like, in case it is a strange woman who weighs more than 200 pounds and is not obviously beautiful, and she can't get married to play this kind of trick of throwing hydrangea to recruit relatives, and deceive honest people, with his physique, he can't resist it!

Downing still thinks it's worth it to let them lose some money.

In his stunned mind, another commotion broke out in the room.

A young woman walked in from outside, walked to the bedside, and said softly, "You can recuperate from your injuries in peace first, and wait until later." ”

The woman in front of her is very beautiful, dressed in ancient costume, and has the temperament of a traditional Chinese beauty, just like a costume beauty in later film and television dramas, walking out of the TV and standing in front of him, it even made him feel very unreal.

But it has nothing to do with him!

It wasn't her who married him, it was the young lady of the Zhong family who had never seen her, no matter how good-looking she was, it was useless, she was not related to her, why listen to her, Tang Ning still thought it would be better for them to lose money.

He re-spoken, "That, you smashed me......"

The Qingli woman looked at him and asked softly, "Xianggong, what do you think?" ”

“……”

Tang Ning was a little confused.

The gap between reality and what he imagined was a bit big, he finally calmed down, looked at the woman, and asked, "...... you, is Miss Zhong Jia?" ”

When the Qingli woman heard this, her expression was a little dazed, "You, you don't know me?" ”

Tang Ning really didn't know him, to be honest, let alone Miss Zhong, he didn't even know himself.

The woman looked at him, a little puzzled, and a little surprised, "Then, then why did you appear under the embroidery building, why did you hold the hydrangea and not let go?" ”

Of course Tang Ning has to hold the hydrangea and not let go, it is a murder weapon, it is evidence, if he lets go, he won't even have to eat the cabbage-stuffed buns in the afternoon, and he still expects the murderer to lose money......

As for why he appeared under the embroidery building, how did he know that this ghost place would be smashed if he walked on the street well, and he also wanted to ask others, he just slept on the bus, why did he sleep here!

Seeing the blank look on Tang Ning's face, the Qingli woman seemed to have thought of something, a trace of panic flashed on her pretty face, and she asked tentatively: "...... you, do you know what your name is?" ”

"Of course I do!" Tang Ning hugged the hydrangea and said, "My name is ......."

The look on his face froze.

He really didn't know what the name of this body was, what its identity was, and where its home was......

If you talk nonsense, will it be buried alive as a ghost?

Tang Ning scratched his head, his eyes dazed: "I, what's my name?" ”

Qingli's woman's expression was unbelievable, and in the crowd, the woman in the green dress turned pale instantly, ran out of the room, and said loudly: "Doctor, call the doctor quickly......"

……

In the room, a white-haired old man stroked his beard and said, "Miss Zhong, Miss Tang, this son, it should be a serious brain injury, resulting in the loss of memory and forgetting the past, which is the so-called "lost soul". ”

The Qingli woman's expression was dazed, a little overwhelmed, and the woman in the green dress beside her hurriedly asked, "Doctor, is he still saved?" ”

The old man shook his head and said: "The old man has only seen the record of "soul loss" in ancient books, and it is the first time he has encountered it, so I can only help him prescribe some prescriptions to calm his nerves and nourish his qi first, I hope it will have some effect, as for when he can remember, maybe tomorrow, maybe forever, it depends on his creation......

The woman in the green dress leaned back in her chair, her face even paler.

Downing sat on the edge of the bed, having a feeling of touching porcelain.

This made him feel a little guilty in his heart, but he couldn't tell them that he had crossed over from another world, but he didn't get God's favor, and he didn't give him the system and the golden finger, and he didn't even give him the memory......

In that case, it is not a loss of soul, but a loss of mind.

Beside him, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl looked at him with sympathetic eyes and said: "Uncle, you must have liked Miss very much before, have you forgotten, when you were on the street, you snatched the hydrangea and held it in your arms, and you didn't let go no matter how those people beat you......"

Someone next to him immediately helped: "Yes, uncle, you must not want Miss to marry that beast surnamed Dong!" ”

"Uncle, think about it!"

……

Tang Ning was still holding the hydrangea in his arms, looking at the moved look of everyone beside the bed, and even a few girls shed tears.

He wiped his eyes, and what he said was the same as the truth, and he almost believed it himself......

He looked at the Miss Zhong, although she was indeed very beautiful, she was not inferior to the so-called goddess of ancient costumes in later generations, and she was several points better in temperament, if there was such a wife......

But he has to find a way to go back, he can't stay in this place for the rest of his life, he hasn't been in love, he hasn't married a daughter-in-law, he hasn't ......

Something seems to be wrong.

But it doesn't matter.

Tang Ning stood up, walked to Miss Zhong's side, and said, "This girl, ......, I, I really don't know you, you smashed me, just pay ten taels of silver, I will leave immediately, I promise not to pester you in the future." ”

"No way!" Before the girl Zhong could speak, the woman in the green dress beside him stood up directly and said categorically.

She Tang Xiaoyao did things alone, the stone in the hydrangea was sewn by her, and the hydrangea was also smashed by her, this guy in front of her is now amnesiac like an idiot, if something happens when she goes out, isn't it her sin?

Tang Ning's eyes widened, and although ten taels of silver were a lot in any dynasty, the silver ingots they gave to the doctor just now were afraid that there were several taels, and then looking at the decoration of this room, it must also be a rich family.

He was so miserable that he didn't even give him ten taels of silver?

"There are all the human and material evidence!" He hugged the hydrangea in his arms tightly and said solemnly: "Let me tell you, today's matter, I can't get by without ten taels of silver!" If you don't give it to me, I'll go to the county government to complain about my grievances......"

Downing noticed that after he said this, their expressions were a little strange.

Could it be that you are scared by yourself?

"Who is going to the county government to complain?" A deep voice came from outside the door.

A middle-aged man walked in from outside, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "You want to avenge your grievances?" ”

Tang Ning nodded firmly.

The middle-aged man looked at him and asked, "What grievances do you have?" ”

Tang Ning asked tentatively, "Are you?" ”

The middle-aged man said lightly: "I am the county magistrate of this county." ”

Unexpectedly, this matter even shocked the county order, Tang Ning still didn't want to make a big deal about it, and planned to try to be private with the Zhong family first.

He looked at the Qingli woman, and the Qingli woman looked back at the middle-aged man, and shook her head slightly, "Daddy......"

Tang Ning looked at her, then at the man who claimed to be the county magistrate, opened his mouth, and said in disbelief: "Dad? ”

"You don't have to change your tune so soon." The middle-aged man glanced at him and waved his hand to the two yacha behind him: "Uncle is injured, take him back to the room to rest first......"
