Chapter 32 Leave your clothes behind
Zhu Zishan stood silent in front of the four coffins, stopped for a moment, he turned around and walked to Chun Ling, looking at Chun Ling in front of him, he showed a complicated expression, and after a little groaning, he said slowly: "It turns out that you did all this, Chun Ling, if you don't want to stay in the Zhu family, you can leave, but why do you want to kill me?" ”
"Zhu Lang, I'll call you Lang Jun one last time." Hearing the dissatisfaction in Zhu Zishan's tone, Chun Ling did not show the slightest wave, she said calmly: "What? Want to avenge your original wife and your two bastard sons? Okay, let's do it, anyway, I've already died once, and I'm not afraid to die again. ”
"I didn't say I was going to kill you, I just couldn't figure out why you were so ruthless? Can't you just refrain from calming down? Can't you be more generous? Can't you repay your grievances with virtue once? Why do you have to kill my family to destroy people before you are willing? Zhu Zishan said in a sad tone.
"You say I broke your family? Do you blame me for all this? ”
Hearing Zhu Zishan's words, looking at Zhu Zishan's sad face, Chun Ling's tone was cold, and she said angrily: "I told you before that the four of them wanted to harm me, how did you answer?" You said you would stop them, but you didn't blame them until the baby in my womb was aborted.
The four of them insulted me every day, and I endured it. They instructed the maids to tease me, and I endured it. They persecuted me one after another, and I endured it. But they should never have aborted the fetus in my womb, I can tolerate everything they did to me, but I must not tolerate them hurting my child like this.
I regard you as the backbone of my life, and I hope you can help me protect my children. But you only care about taking care of your inn, turning a deaf ear to the actions of the four of them, even if I was almost strangled to death that time, you just reprimanded them a few words, Zhu Zishan, if you don't want to stay with me for the rest of your life, why do you want to marry me into your family?
Yes, you have the grace of redemption for me, you redeemed me from Baiyan Building and gave me the title of 'returning from good'. Let me not be a //// son for the rest of my life, but if I knew that this would be the end after marrying you, then I would rather be reduced to Baiyan Building for the rest of my life and laugh than enter your Zhu Zishan's house.
You have done me so well to me, I have repaid you with the lives of our mother and son, but what do you owe me? What do you take back? After passing through the door, I abide by the woman's way, have no reservations about you, respect your original husband and wife as sisters, and treat your two sons as my own. I don't mind the abuse and humiliation of them, but what do I get in the end?
In exchange for me, I was trampled on more and more, in addition to your original partner and two sons, even the maids in the inn dared to bully me, they persecuted me three times, and finally aborted the fetus that had been formed in my womb, do you know how I felt when I saw the corpse of the child? Do you know what it feels like to have a broken heart?
Yes, I killed all four of them. But that's because they killed my child first. Why can the four of them kill my child, but I can't kill them to avenge my child? Don't mention to me when the retribution is due, if I hadn't been lucky enough to hang myself, I would have been lying in a coffin and turned into a rotting skeleton by now.
They are your wife and son, am I not your wife? Isn't the fetus in my womb your child? They are your family, aren't our mother and son your family? Since everyone is your family, then I have to ask you, why don't you blame them for hurting me, but accuse me of hurting them?
Calm and restrained? Generous and forgiving? Render good for evil? Why don't you say this to your original partner and son? Why didn't you say it to that maid? Why did you say it to me? You are compassionate, you are calm, you are generous, you are forgiving, but you have not experienced my despair and sorrow, what qualifications do you have for me to be generous? ”
"You...... I...... They ......"
Zhu Zishan was speechless by Chun Ling's words, looking at Chun Ling's eyes full of grievances, looking at the four coffins placed side by side beside him, Zhu Zishan didn't know how to refute Chun Ling? After a moment of silence, he gently stroked the original coffin, and then glanced at the eight eye-catching blood characters on the lid of the Chunling coffin, and sighed helplessly:
"Alas...... I don't blame you or them for all this, I only blame me for patronizing the business and neglecting the family affairs. The root cause of the loss of my wife and children, the destruction of my family, and the destruction of all these things are actually caused by myself, and the cause and effect that I planted can only be borne by myself.
My wife and son hurt your mother and son, and they did their own iniquity, and now you have killed them to repay your hatred, and the two sides are even. From now on, you owe each other no more, and no one has to hold grudges against anyone. Although I hate you for being ruthless, I also pity you for being wronged and helpless. Now that you are safe and sound, my heart is very safe.
Those who should go have gone, and those who are alive must live well. Later I will send a letter of resignation, and you will be free from then on. You and I have failed to take care of you and let you suffer this calamity, because I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband. I hope you can let go of your hatred from now on, the rest of your life is long, and may you start your new life.
My original wife and two sons, as well as the maid Xiaoping, should not be jealous and evil, the four of them joined forces to kill the fetus in your womb, this behavior is outrageous, but they have paid the price for their actions, and now they have all died in your hands, it can be regarded as retribution, I hope these four lives can resolve the resentment in your heart.
When the time comes for retribution, I am willing to bear the grievances and resentments of both of you. Although I lived in the Buddhist hall of Hanshan Temple before, I couldn't understand this matter in my heart, so I had demonic thoughts in my heart, and although I led to practice Buddhism, I could not let go of it in my heart. If it weren't for my brother's use of Buddhism to dissolve my demons, I'm afraid I would have really driven myself crazy.
Fortunately, Liu Gongzi helped me find out the ins and outs of the matter, so that I knew the inside story of the old case, and now the truth is revealed to the hearts of the people, unraveling my long-entangled demons, seeing the surviving deceased, and subtracting a self-blame in my heart. The people are gone, but the living are well. Whether it's Chun Ling or what I'm doing, I won't pursue it, and everything is over.
Today, in front of you and the four deceased, I make a great vow, later I will return to Hanshan Temple to practice, never go out of the temple gate, serve the Buddha wholeheartedly, the merits of the practice, half for the deceased excess, half for the living to pray for the blessing, may they have no mustard in their hearts, no more bitter fruit in the next life, no Amitabha Buddha in the south, this wish will not change until death. ”
Feng Jincai heard Zhu Zishan's words, and his face showed a trace of admiration and emotion.
"You...... Why bother? Chun Ling's cold expression softened a little.
"Zhu is in control, why are you doing this?" Zhang Banxian said with a sigh on his face.
"Amitabha, congratulations to my brother for his enlightenment, from now on getting rid of the shackles of demons and unleashing troubles and distractions." Qihong presided over the Buddha horn, looking at Zhu Zishan, who was already relieved, Qihong said with a happy expression: "The junior brother is willing to accompany my Buddha with the green lantern, the Buddha will live up to the grand wish of the junior brother, after returning to the temple, I will personally shave the degree of the junior brother." ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... Doesn't that seem inappropriate? Your affairs are all settled, so what about my affairs? Hearing Zhu Zishan's vow to never leave Hanshan Temple for the rest of his life, Liu Fan was suddenly a little confused, seeing that the more Qihong presided over it, the more energetic he became, Liu Fan suddenly stopped, and he hurriedly shouted at Qihong host:
"Master, the monks don't speak, you promised before, that as long as I help Zhu Zishan relieve my heart and demon obsession, let him escort me back to Yangzhou, but now Zhu Zishan has made a big vow. If he doesn't leave Hanshan Temple, how can he escort me back to Yangzhou? Why don't you take a break and wait for him to send me home before you shave him?" ”
Hearing Liu Fan's reminder, host Qihong remembered his previous agreement with Liu Fan, and after thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Zhu Zishan, wanting to persuade him to protect Liu Fan, but as soon as he was halfway through the words, Zhu Zishan shook his head and refused, saying that from now on, he would start to abide by his oath and no longer set foot in Hongchen.
Seeing that his bodyguard was going to be yellow, Liu Fan didn't do it, he began to insinuate to run Qihong to host, Liu Fan was a thief, and his eloquence was good. The reflection of quoting scriptures and classics Qihong's words don't count, and he was squeezed by Liu Fan, and the Qihong host couldn't bear it, and there was no way, the Qihong host had to let Liu Fan go to Hanshan Temple to wait, saying that he would find a way to give Liu Fan a bodyguard when he turned around.
Seeing that there were still some things to deal with on Zhu Zishan's side, looking at the aggrieved and helpless expression on Chunling's face, and feeling the depressed and dull atmosphere of the scene, Liu Fan's heart was a little low, he had already done what he had to do, and the rest had nothing to do with him, Liu Fan didn't want to stay here to watch the ending, so he left Yizhuang.
After coming out of Yizhuang, Liu Fan returned directly to the medical hall, but at this moment Chu Minghui was no longer in the medical hall, at this time, the doctor who sat in the clinic gave Liu Fan two letters, Liu Fan opened the envelope and looked at it, it turned out that these two letters were left by Chu Minghui, one of them was for Liu Fan, he told Liu Fan that the people from the governor's yamen came last night.
Originally, Chu Minghui wanted to say goodbye to Liu Fan, but because Liu Fan had not returned for a long time, he could only go back with the envoy of the governor's yamen, Chu Minghui gave Liu Fan the opportunity to go to the governor's yamen to find him, and next year he would participate in the school examination held by the imperial court, hoping to have the opportunity to meet Liu Fan from the school examination.
Another letter was left by Chu Minghui to the prefect of Yangzhou to Tutuo, Chu Minghui did not forget to promise Liu Fan, he left a handwritten letter, if Liu Fan returned to Yangzhou, Xiang Tutuo dared to go to the house to force marriage, then let Liu Fan hand over this letter to Xiang Tutuo, as long as Xiang Tutuo saw the letter, he would know what to do.
After reading the content of the letter, Liu Fan was grateful to Chu Minghui but also a little annoyed, if he knew that Chu Minghui left last night, he would definitely come back to see him off, now that Chu Minghui has left, no matter how annoyed it is, it is useless, carefully put away the letter, Liu Fan said goodbye to the medical hall, turned around and walked towards Hanshan Temple.
Host Qihong still owes him a bodyguard, he has to hurry up to host Qihong's dignitaries, so as not to host Qihong and not admit it afterwards.
