Chapter 47: The Qing Dynasty is Over
After the fifth watch, Zhuang Sheng went, he walked into the secret room and looked at this cold beauty, he couldn't believe that she would open her eyes and become an ordinary person who was no different from herself, Zhuang Sheng was a little sad, after all, he felt that such an otherworldly person should not have anything to do with this disturbing world, he was stunned for a while, thinking about how to recognize her and explain everything to her.
"It should be almost dawn." He thought.
When he looked back and saw a pair of clear eyes staring at him, his heart "chuckled", and he smiled at her reluctantly in a panic.
She lay expressionless, motionless, with only two eyes trembling slightly.
Zhuang Sheng was at a loss, and after a while, he made sure that she was no different from ordinary people, and then calmed down.
"The Taoist said you've been asleep for thousands of years, and now you're finally awake." Zhuang Sheng said, "Bone stiffness is inevitable, let me take you up for a walk?" ”
Zhuang Sheng touched her, his body was really cold, he wanted to help her sit up first, but he only moved, her body squeaked, "Don't break the bones," Zhuang Sheng thought, "Let's just let her lie here first, and wait for the bones to be softer before getting up." ”
"Can you talk?" Zhuang Sheng asked.
She still looked at him with her eyes open, and did not speak, as the Taoist chief said, she was born again, everything started from the beginning, and her eyes were as clear as a newborn baby.
"It looks like I can't talk anymore... But can you understand what I'm saying? ”
said a lot, she was unmoved, Zhuang Sheng was very helpless, sat for a long time, and suddenly was shocked, it was dawn early, how could I go home, there were many things to deal with.
"I'll bring someone to meet you." Zhuang Sheng said.
After that, he went home, Yun Yun woke up and was looking for him everywhere, when Zhuang Sheng happened to come back and asked Luo'er, there was nothing big in the house, so he hurriedly pulled her to see.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"Take you to see someone."
Yun Yun immediately stopped, wondering if she was looking for a future husband for herself again.
"What's wrong?"
"Who?" She asked solemnly.
Zhuang Sheng paused, suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "It's a woman, I still remember the woman I told you that day that fell into the witchcraft, and the Taoist saved her." ”
At this time, she was relieved, but she was curious, and suddenly became worried, "He won't find a future sister-in-law for me." Thinking about it like this, she couldn't be at peace all the way.
In the secret room.
"Lying in that sarcophagus, remember her?" Zhuang Sheng pointed at her and asked.
"Hmm~ The face is familiar, I have seen it once." Yun Yun leaned over to look.
She had her eyes closed, but she heard a sound and suddenly opened them.
"Ahh
"She's alive," Zhuang Sheng pushed her to look again, "Look, she's not that scary." ”
Yun Yun was skeptical, and looked at her face again, without the slightest fear just now, her face was so beautiful, her eyes were so beautiful, and her eyes were so pure, it would only make people addicted, how could she make people avoid it.
"How is she? Yun Yun asked, "If you fall into witchcraft, can you leave sequelae?" Why didn't she move? ”
"The Taoist said that she had complete amnesia, and her bones were severely damaged, and she has not yet recovered, so she can neither speak nor move."
"It's pathetic." Yun Yun said pityingly.
"Abandoned by others, without a father or mother, without brothers and sisters, she has really become an orphan, and the Taoist entrusted her to me before leaving."
"Well, because of the evil arts, my father and mother don't want her anymore, and it is fate to meet the Taoist and meet us, so take her in."
"I'm relieved that you're so sensible." Zhuang Sheng said with a smile.
"Does she have a name? How old is it? ”
"I don't know," Zhuang Sheng said, "Since I have lost my memory, everything in the past will be wiped out, why don't I call her ...... with our family name" Zhuang Sheng thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "It's better to call her 'Zhuang Die'?" ’
"Good is good, but-"
"What's wrong, doesn't it sound good?"
"There is a poem in the Tang Dynasty: Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, how can you take such a worthy name?" Yun Yun asked, "You can't really be fascinated by this 'butterfly'-like person, right?" ”
"What's this? You're too tricky, it's just a name, it doesn't mean anything. ”
"I-" Yun Yun was speechless, still muttering, "Why didn't Dad think of giving me this name in the first place, how good." ”
"Okay, you don't have to worry about the name, she looks older than you, you can treat her as your sister."
"Hey... Okay, I didn't expect to have a sister out of thin air," Yun Yun looked at Zhuang Die innocently and said, "Sister, I am taking care of you now, and you will have to take care of me after you get well." ”
Zhuang Die blinked, not knowing what he meant.
"You watch her first, I'll go home, and I'll come back if nothing happens." Zhuang Sheng said.
"Hmm." Yun Yun stared at her as if she was facing a rare treasure, and she didn't feel bored no matter how she looked at it.
At this time, the outside world was already in chaos.
Old Man Zhuang was uneasy, he didn't recite the scriptures, let alone copy them, he staggered out with a cane, and shouted, "Sheng'er, where are you?" What's going on out there? ”
Luo'er stepped forward to help him, and asked an old housekeeper to go out to inquire, but it happened that Zhuang Sheng had already arrived outside the door.
Seeing his father's withered glory and walking crookedly, Zhuang Sheng rushed up and hurriedly helped him, "Dad, why did you come out?" He asked urgently.
"Is something wrong? My heart was uneasy. ”
"There was a lot of noise outside, but I didn't hear what was being said."
"The butler has gone out to inquire." Luoer said.
"Well," Zhuang Sheng admonished, "Dad, go into the house and rest." ”
The old man had just taken a step forward, and someone behind him shouted: "Brother Zhuang, do you know what is going on outside?" ”
Zhuang Sheng looked back and saw that it was Yan Weiwen, his expression solemn and panicked.
"I just asked someone to inquire, what's going on?"
Yan Weiwen saluted Old Man Zhuang and said, "Emperor Xuantong Puyi issued an edict of abdication, and the Qing Dynasty... Dead. ”
"You say... What did you say? Old Man Zhuang took a step closer and tugged at Yan Weiwen's clothes.
"Change of dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is dead!"
Old Man Zhuang was stunned, his pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Dad—" Zhuang Sheng shouted. Immediately carried him to the bed with Yan Weiwen and lay down, and Luo'er hurriedly called the doctor.
When the doctor arrived, he looked at his face and only probed his nose, but he was already out of breath.
"Master Zhuang was so angry that he caused an old illness and died."
Zhuang Sheng's legs were weak, his head was roaring, Luo'er and Yan Weiwen stepped forward to support him, and Zhuang Sheng didn't listen to a few words he said.
Yun Yun learned that she cried a lot, was sad and depressed all day long, and lost weight in a few days.
Relatives and clans, old acquaintances, old friends, and officialdom colleagues continued one after another for a while, almost breaking the threshold of Zhuangfu.
According to tradition, wakes, funerals, funerals... After doing it step by step, after everything is in order, it will already be a month.
After this incident, it added a little gloomy atmosphere to the entire Zhuang Mansion, and everyone added a lot of bitterness and melancholy to their hearts.
Zhuang Sheng confessed: I only know that people will eventually die, but when my loved ones leave suddenly, my sky seems to collapse......
Yun Yun confessed: My relatives are all I have, my father and mother are gone, and my world is dark for most of the sky......
