Chapter Seventy-Four: The Past Is Like a Smoke
Yang Qiuchi stood up and asked, "Zhihui, is this grave really the little girl who committed suicide by throwing herself into a well with my child?" Her name is Ruolan, right? ”
Qin Zhihui nodded, she saw that Yang Qiuchi's wound was fine and her spirit was good, so the stone in her heart fell to the ground.
Yang Qiuchi didn't ask her why she wanted to kill herself, and the reason was already very obvious. He picked up the knife from the ground, silently walked to the side of the grave, and began to cut the grass on the grave, Qin Zhihui stood aside and watched without speaking.
When he was in the cave room, Yang Qiuchi boasted that he would do any farm work, in fact, he had never done farm work, cutting thatch is a technical job, if he can't cut it, the thatch is easy to cut his hands, plus this short blade is not as good as a sickle, cutting thatch is not smooth, sure enough, after a while, Yang Qiuchi's hand has been cut by thatch one by one, Yang Qiuchi seems not to see it, he hopes that this can give Qin Zhihui an impression that he is trying his best to make up for the mistakes he made.
Sure enough, Zhihui bit her lip, walked over, and snatched the short blade in Yang Qiuchi's hand: "I'll come." Qin Zhihui is a child of a bitter family, when she was a child, she did a lot of farm work, cutting thatch was a piece of cake for her, and later became the personal maid of the young grandmother of the He family, basically no rough work, and her hands were also reinstated, but this farm work was not forgotten. In a short time, all the thatch on the grave was cut, and even the sides of the grave were clean.
Yang Qiuchi rearranged the offerings in front of the grave, poured a glass of wine, held it in both hands, and knelt down on one knee: "Ruolan girl, I can't remember the previous things, I don't know the reason for this, since Zhihui spared her life to kill me, I believe that I must have hurt you very deeply, and I am here to make amends for you." With that, he slowly sprinkled the glass of wine in front of the grave.
Qin Zhihui squatted down and pulled Yang Qiuchi to sit down in front of the grave: "Husband, let me tell you the reason for this matter." ”
The mountain breeze blew Qin Zhihui's hair, fluttering: "When I was a child, my family was very poor, in order to survive, I was sold by my father and mother to Hejia Village's house as a maid ring when I was ten years old, Hejia Village is not far from your Yangjia Village, Sister Ruolan also entered the He family at about that time, our two little girls are helpless and dependent on each other, Sister Ruolan is two years older than me, and takes care of me everywhere." ”
"Once, I accidentally broke a vase, and in the cold winter, the young grandmother of the He family made me kneel in the snow on the patio, saying that she would freeze me to death, and from time to time she stuck her head out of the window and scolded me. I kept kneeling in the patio until it snowed so hard that at night I was so cold that I passed out...... When I woke up, it was almost dawn, I was lying in the warm quilt, I was very strange, so I got up and ran to the yard to see, Sister Ruolan was wearing my clothes, kneeling in the snow for me, trembling all over...... It turned out that she had frozen for me all night. ”
"I ran over and hugged her and cried, she was so cold that she couldn't speak, I carried her back to the room, came out by myself and knelt down, it was dawn, the young grandmother saw that I was not dead, very surprised, so I spared me, just like that, I survived this disaster."
Yang Qiuchi scolded fiercely: "The He family is really vicious! ”
Qin Zhihui smiled bitterly, "Sister Ruolan's two toes were frozen, and she was seriously ill and almost died." ”
"Then one day, the young grandmother asked me and Sister Ruolan to go out to run errands, it was very late when we came back, passing by the entrance of your Yangjia Village, you rushed out of the darkness, full of alcohol, grabbed me and dragged me to the wheat field next to me, wanted to ......, I was frightened, desperately screaming and struggling, Sister Ruolan had already run away, heard my scream, she came back again, hit you with a lump, you rushed to her and pressed her on the ridge...... I was young and frightened, so I ran away and hid. ”
Qin Zhihui's tears fell one by one, and Yang Qiuchi hugged her distressedly, hoping to give her a little more comfort.
Qin Zhihui leaned against Yang Qiuchi and slowly continued: "After a long time, I saw Sister Ruolan limping away, I ran out to help her, her first sentence was to ask me if I was injured, I ......" Qin Zhihui couldn't go on, and cried softly again.
Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly to himself, how could he replace this Yang Xianzuo and forcibly annihilate women, what a scum, how can I see people, fortunately, no one else seems to know about this.
"Later, I found that Sister Ruolan often sneaked out of the He family's compound, and it took a long time to come back, and every time she came back, she looked wrong and blushed. I asked her what was wrong, and she wouldn't say. One time I sneaked up behind her, only to find out that she had slipped out to meet you. ”
Yes? Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, it turned out that Ruolan had only gotten along with Yang Xi after she was raped.
When she came back, I asked her why, and she said you promised to redeem her and marry her. Later, you were caught stealing the things of the He family, beaten you, tied you in a firewood room, and waited for your family to ransom you. ”
Yang Qiuchi sighed secretly, why am I so unlucky.
"Sister Ruolan secretly ran to release you, the bloody handkerchief was used by Sister Ruolan to wipe your blood at that time, you were holding the bloody handkerchief and vowed to marry her."
Yang Qiuchi understood why Qin Zhihui drank poisonous wine on the wedding night, before estimating that she was going to die, she would show this handkerchief to herself, so that she could make herself understand that she was dead, but she didn't expect that Na Zhizuo was already dead, and she met herself who didn't know anything about the resurrection of the corpse.
Qin Zhihui continued: "You escaped from the He family and hid, and later your mother helped you lose money, and the matter was settled." ”
"One day Sister Ruolan came back from outside, her face was blue and purple, I asked her what was wrong, and begged her for a long time, she told me, saying that she was pregnant with your child and went to find you, but you said that you had no money to redeem her, and asked her to find Lang Zhong to take medicine to kill the child, Sister Ruolan didn't want to, so you beat her."
Yang Qiuchi patted his head: "Why am I such a bastard!" But he said in his heart that Lao Tzu replaced this Yang Chenzuo for eight lifetimes.
Later, the old lady of the Yin family came to the He family as a guest, fell in love with Sister Ruolan, and said that she would accept her as a concubine, and set a date to welcome her. Sister Ruolan desperately didn't get married, so she secretly brought a package to find you and eloped with you. She came back late that day crying and said you didn't want to elope with her. The He family found out about you and put her under house arrest in a small courtyard. Waiting for the Yin family to come to greet them. ”
Yang Qiuchi was taken aback again: "Yin family? Is it the Yinde family in Guangde County? ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Qin Zhihui asked.
Yang Qiuchi always felt that there seemed to be something wrong here, but he didn't know what was wrong, "It's nothing, you go on." ”
"That night, she told me that since she and you have a husband and wife, you should start from the beginning, she will never marry someone else, but you don't want to elope with her, she can't live, she hates you for ruining her, begging me to find an opportunity to avenge her and kill you, and I can be married to you in the underworld."
This Ruolan is so ruthless, Yang Qiuchi thought to himself.
Qin Zhihui looked at the grave: "I don't want to kill people, but how can I refuse?" Sister Ruolan saved my life twice, my life was originally hers, and I should have died for her. So I ...... I agreed...... I wanted to persuade her the next day and help her escape secretly, but I didn't expect that late that night, she threw herself into the well in the small yard and died......"
Qin Zhihui lowered her head and sobbed, and her tears slipped silently one by one.
