Chapter 36: The Beginning
Chen Ji fell into a wonderful state, since he woke up in this world, he has been worried about whether the "Chen Ji" who was occupied by his body will return to his soul? The current situation really means something. Struggling, struggling, time just flickered away.
When I woke up again, there was a deep sound of falling rain outside, crackling and hitting people's hearts, making people feel as if they were in a different world. Turning his head, there were many strange things of his own in front of the bed, every pillar was plastered with various talismans, several bronze mirrors were placed in the spare part of the room, the wind swept in through the door, and there was a crisp bell sounding.
The first feeling was weakness, a little calm, then I felt hungry in my belly, I lifted the quilt with difficulty, straightened up with the head of the bed, and slowly moved my legs under the bed, I had spent all my strength, I wanted to shout, my throat squirmed, but there was no half of the sound.
Looking out, a simple bamboo pavilion was set up in the courtyard, and the rain fell into a rain curtain, and it was not very clear to see, just look at its furnishings, and boldly guess that it should be the Dharma platform of "practice".
The corners of Chen Ji's mouth were hooked, but he couldn't laugh. He slammed his fist on the bed frame, and the subtle sound was muffled by the sound of the rain.
……
In the backyard of Chen's house, Chen Xiujie, who hurried home, had just changed out of her messy clothes, her face was pale as if she had been soaked in water for a long time, her hair was scattered, and her eyes were bloodshot.
In fact, he also went to Qingzhou with a certain group of disaster victims, and if it wasn't for the fact that the Chen family had already been waiting for him when he entered the city, the officers and soldiers patrolling the city would not let him in.
After entering the city, he hurried back to Chen's house, took off his wet coat, put on a dry one, grabbed a headscarf and put it on his head, wiped the rain stains on his head, and trotted all the way to the West Chamber.
noticed the furnishings inside and outside the West Chamber, in the usual way, he would inevitably be scolded, but when he looked at his son who was only skinny and bones on the bed, Chen Xiujie no longer had the strength to care about this. After inquiring about the situation again, he endured the sadness and returned to the room.
With the help of Lin Yunyi, she changed into clean clothes.
The vague figure in the bronze mirror couldn't see much sadness, but next to him, Lin Yunyi clearly felt the sadness in her husband's heart. I don't know how to comfort when I feel distressed.
After changing her clothes, Chen Xiujie said in a hoarse voice: "Madame, help me make a basin of water, I still need to go to the government office later, this year's autumn flood has arrived, and there are still many things to deal with." ”
Lin Yunyi's eyes turned red, and her voice choked, "Master......"
Chen Xiujie turned around and tried a few times before squeezing out a smile: "I'm fine, go ahead." Seeing the tears in the corners of his wife's eyes, Chen Xiujie's heart ached for a while, raised her hand and gently wiped the tears between her wife's cheeks, and said, "I have to ask my wife to help me freshen up later." He pointed to his messy hair, probably wanting to ask, "Is this frustrating?"
Lin Yunyi nodded vigorously: "Well, I'll go." ”
After Lin Yunyi turned around and went out, Chen Xiujie turned to the bronze mirror again, looked at the self inside, and couldn't suppress her grief anymore, a punch slammed out, and landed on the wooden pillar on the side, and only after a long time did a slight pain come.
……
When Chen Xiujie left Chen's mansion, it was already evening, and the heavy rain had not stopped, but it was more lively. Lin Yunyi was sent to the door, watched her husband get into the carriage, and did not forget to explain to the accompanying domestic servants, so be sure to take care of it.
Seeing the carriage go around to the other side of the street, Lin Yunyi turned back, and met Chen Wenxuan who came in a hurry on the way, saying that the old lady had fainted.
It's been an eventful time, and that's no different. The entire Chen family has not had a real peaceful day since the New Year.
Chen Ji didn't know what was happening outside, and even he had a long blank gap about his state, not knowing if it was temporary amnesia or what was plundered during the long "fusion process". But in the end, it is also a certain level of "there is no danger".
Of course, Chen Ji doesn't know the root cause of everything that is happening at the moment, maybe he thinks too deeply, as for the demons in his heart, he falls into a certain sense of "split personality", or there is really a "resurrection" theory. But for now, I should have won.
I sat quietly on the bed frame for a long time, glancing at those messy talismans in my spare light, and I was inexplicably annoyed. With a strong sigh, he dragged his half-numb body to the table, grabbed the teacup on the table, gathered momentum for a long time, and then threw it out the door!
After smashing all the cups, there was still no one.
Chen Ji smiled bitterly.
I can only stare at the unkempt rain, and the more it falls, the worse it gets.
After another half an hour, there was finally movement outside the door, and in a moment, the trio appeared at the door at the same time, and by the faint candlelight, they suddenly saw the traces of Chen dressed in white in the darkness.
From their point of view, it's like running into something unclean.
After coming back to his senses, Xiao Ran cautiously asked, "Is it the young master?" ”
Chen Ji did not answer.
After a while, the three little ones cowered and leaned over, Gui Chun touched something out of nowhere, stood in front of Xiao Ran, Shen Qiu lit a fire fold, and lit the two blown out candles by the door.
"Young Master, is that you?" When most of the candlelight in the room was lit up, Xiao Ran's voice sounded again, and he was already crying, I don't know if he was scared or distressed.
The room was so big, and the three of them quickly arrived at the table, Chen Ji glanced at it, and wanted to scold a few words, but in the end they were helpless, and they really couldn't lift that breath.
After a stalemate for a moment, Shen Qiu dragged Gui Chun with one hand, poured his body down towards Chen Ji, and pointed like a knife, carefully approached his nose and probed a few times.
Relieved, tears fell, "Young Master." ”
Xiao Ran Guichun cried along. If it weren't for the worry that Chen Ji's body was overwhelmed, I am afraid that he would have to pounce.
"Go quickly, tell Madame." Shen Qiu came back to his senses and turned to Gui Chun and said. Originally, there were people guarding the West Chamber all the time, but Chen Ji woke up and there was no one around, but because he heard that the old lady had fainted, the people were too busy, so the three of them were called to help. I didn't expect to make such a big "oolong".
Gui Chun nodded hurriedly, and rushed out with a stick in his hand.
Shen Qiu said to Xiao Ran again: "Xiao Ran, you go and boil a bowl of porridge, don't be too thick." ”
Xiao Ran glanced at Chen Ji deeply, and ran out quickly. Leaving Shen Qiu alone, he didn't know what he could do.
"Young master, I'll help you to bed first."
Chen Ji ignored it, his eyes glared viciously at the charms in the room, extremely disgusted.
Shen Qiu was the person who had been with him for the longest time, and he suddenly came back to his senses. I touched a long batch of things from the bed and put it on Chen Ji's body, and immediately went to pull those messy charms. There was also the gossip of Xiao Xi Nu.
"Young master, in my dreams every day for half a month, you have said a lot of nonsense, and the doctor has prescribed several pairs of medicines to no avail, we can only think that you are evil, so we have done this, and now you have woken up. But the Taoist said that he would do enough for 7749 games. The latter sentence is clearly self-talking.
Chen Ji slandered for a while, and it seems that he has cheated money out of charlatans.
"Young master, if you don't wake up again, Madame won't be able to hold on, during the days when you were in a coma, Madame, inside and out, we were distressed when we saw it. The eldest lady had to come out to help. Turning his head, Shen Qiu and Chen Ji said, "Most of the affairs of the bookstore are in charge of the eldest lady, but because you are in a coma, the bookstore has been very uncomfortable during this time. ”
Shen Qiu had already turned around, tore the spell in another place, and the topic returned to before, "You are unconscious, Mrs. has never dared to tell the master, until the day before yesterday, it was rumored that there might be a lot of victims rushing over when the embankment burst outside, and Qingzhou was going to close the city...... Madame then sent someone to find the master! Shen Qiu turned back again and said sadly, "Young Master's situation at that time, we were all afraid...... I'm afraid that the old man won't be able to see the last ......"
Chen Ji's throat moved, and he let out an "ah", and his voice was muddy.
Shen Qiu stopped what he was doing, ran over, and wanted to pour water, only to find that the cups on the table were gone.
"Young master, you wait, I'll go fetch water."
Outside the door, Lin Yunyi and Chen Wenxuan have arrived. Lin Yunyi can still restrain herself, Chen Wenxuan couldn't control it anymore after seeing Chen Ji, and her tears were like the water of the Yellow River bursting its embankment, surging thin. stepped in, rushed to Chen Ji, hugged the person in front of him, patted Chen Ji on the shoulder while crying, and scolded in his mouth.
Lin Yunyi hurriedly followed into the door, pulled Chen Wenxuan away, and turned his head to look at Shen Qiu.
The latter stepped forward and said, "Xiao Ran has gone to boil porridge." ”
"Where's the doctor?"
Shen Qiu slapped his forehead and responded, "I'll go and please." ”
Shen Qiu thought that the doctor he had just invited to treat the old lady would come with him, but he didn't expect that the family had already returned.
At that moment, he glanced at Gui Chun, and hurriedly swept out, and almost bumped into Xiao Ran who came from boiling porridge outside the door.
followed by Gui Chun also came out of it and went out with Shen Qiu, but he went to the government to find Chen Xiujie.
Another sleepless night.
……
Qingzhou Mansion was already the time to go to the office, but the three bigwigs urgently got together for a meeting. Chen Xiujie arrived the earliest, Hou Houcong arrived on the front and back feet, but Qingzhou Tongzhi Qiu Xinzhi came the latest, the three of them met without a few words of greetings, Chen Xiujie first made a report on the grain patrol for a period of time, and then mentioned the scene of the victims seen on the way back, and then stopped speaking.
Seeing this, Hou Houcong sighed and sighed in his heart, and turned his head to discuss with Qiu Xinzhi. With Hou Mingyu's relationship, he probably has an understanding of the Chen family's affairs. Lao Chen is a hard-working man. The other end has already made a calculation, and the government must come up with a rhetoric for the affairs of pouring dung.
After talking for a while, someone outside the door came to report, saying that it was from the Chen Mansion, and it seemed that he was in a hurry. Chen Xiujie came back to her senses, got up, and hugged her fist slightly towards Hou Houcong, and the whole person had already swept out like the wind. I didn't even hold an umbrella and rushed straight into the heavy rain.
