Chapter 25: Departure
In the courtyard of the Chen family's mansion, the subordinates walked through the small courtyard where Chen Li lived, pinching their noses and leaving.
The servants of the small courtyard were all driven out, and outside Chen Li's bedroom, two five big and three thick men were guarding the door, and there were many Chen family guards in black around the small courtyard.
In the bedroom, Tang Liniang hugged Xiaotian with a panicked face, humming a little song in her mouth, coaxing him, and telling Xiaotian not to panic.
There was a pale-faced man lying on the bed, but Chen Li, although he passed out, his brows were tightly locked, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, which was very painful.
"Mother, what's wrong with sir, those people outside are so fierce!" Xiao Tian said uneasily. "The gentleman is asleep, and the people outside are all friends of the gentleman, and they are looking for the gentleman for something, so they are all waiting outside the door for the gentleman to wake up. Tang Liniang smiled and patted Xiaotian's head, comforting the child, and also comforting herself.
I was afraid that Chen Lichuang's disaster this time would affect their mother and son, but she was already very content, at least Chen Li let her and her children stay for a few more days.
"Wow!"
At this moment, Chen Li, who was lying on the bed, suddenly turned over and spit out a stream of black blood, and the white quilt was stained with a large pool of black and red blood.
The sound alarmed Tang Liniang, she immediately came to Chen Li's bed, and seeing that the other party had woken up, she hurriedly asked, "Sir, are you awake?"
This was a mouthful of stuffy blood, and after spitting it out, Chen Li's chest soothed a lot, and seeing that he was already lying in the bedroom, he asked weakly: "How did I come back, remember that I didn't fall on the competition platform?"
"Sir, can't you remember?" Tang Liniang killed Chen Dongguan on the competition platform, Zhang San rescued him, and told him what he sent back Chen Li struggled to stand up, and with Tang Liniang's support, he walked to the window, lifted the window lattice, and saw that the outside was full of Chen family's nursing homes.
sighed deeply, returned to the dresser, looked at his pale face in the bronze mirror, and said in a faint tone: "Li Niang, do you know how to put on makeup? Make my face more ruddy, and then make a better clothes, if you don't do it well this time, you won't wear it in the future, and you can also dress up better." ”
The boy's bedroom is not as complete as the rouge gouache in the girl's room, but there are still a few.
Tang Liniang quietly picked up the rouge and didn't say anything, just blindly helped Chen Li put on makeup, so that he could be as energetic as possible.
Xiao Tian, who was watching all this from the side, relaxed his face, Xu saw that Chen Li was awake, looking at him, Xiao Tian's heart could be more stable.
beckoned to Xiaotian, the child obediently threw himself into Chen Li's arms, he touched Xiaotian's head dotingly, and said sadly: "It's me who has affected your mother and son, you won't blame me, right?"
Tang Liniang didn't speak, and the hand that applied rouge to Chen Li's face didn't shake, but Xiaotian shook his head, and said in a milky voice: "Mother said, if there was no husband, Xiaotian would have left a long time ago, so my mother asked Xiaotian to follow Mr. all his life, where Mr. goes, Xiaotian will go." ”
"Good boy, you are still young, and you still have a lot of good times to go, but you can't follow me, I said it fatefully, I am a natural broom star, whoever is with me will suffer, this time I may be leaving, you have to listen to your mother's words obediently, you can't be naughty anymore." Chen Li smiled and touched Xiaotian's head, and spoke slowly, like an old man in the twilight.
Hearing this, the hand that was originally giving Chen Li's thrush trembled, and the eyebrow line was crooked, so he wiped the painting crookedly with a towel, bit his lower lip, and drew Chen Li's eyebrows again.
As soon as Xiaotian heard that Chen Li was leaving, he hugged Chen Li's waist, tears came down, and he shouted: "Don't, sir, don't leave Xiaotian, dad doesn't want us anymore, if Mr. doesn't leave us, my mother and I will be homeless......"
Often children's words are the most innocent, and they can also hit people's hearts the most, Chen Li listened to what Xiaotian said, trembling, and his eyes were a little foggy, "Promise sir, you have to take good care of your mother, Xiaotian is already a little man, Mr. is going to find your father, and when we come back, we must see that you and your mother are doing well." Chen Li smiled, stroked Xiaotian's back, and comforted the little boy who was crying sadly.
Tang Liniang, who had finished painting her eyebrows, stood behind Chen Li, combing his hair, lowering her head, her shoulders trembling.
Tang Liniang gently hugged Chen Li's neck from behind, and her voice became a little breathless.
"Chen Li, you must live, from the day I entered Chen's Mansion, I regarded myself as your person, Liniang I am already a married person, and I don't need to carry a sedan chair for eight times, but this door has passed, I have already lost it once, and I don't want to lose it a second time. ”
was caught off guard, Chen Li's eyes were dull, and he couldn't calm down.
Hearing Tang Liniang's tender and sweet words again, he was even more like being struck by lightning, and it took a while to ease up.
Quietly touched Tang Liniang's little hand like a green onion, and said softly: "If I come back to life this time, I will marry you and carry you through the door in a sedan chair." ”
Liniang straightened her waist and wiped the tears off her face, her eyes and nose were red, she was so good-looking, she bent the corners of her mouth and smiled, which was so pitiful.
"I don't have to carry the sedan chair eight times, I have said that I have already passed the door, how can there be another trip to the door in this world. ”
Hearing this, Chen Li smiled, looked at Tang Liniang, who was combing her hair in the bronze mirror, and said, "Move slowly, wait until you are dressed up before leaving, let them wait." ”
......
Time passed quickly, even if Tang Liniang deliberately slowed down the work in her hands in order to enjoy this time, but after two hours, they still dressed up and waited for the two big and one small three to walk out of the door, and the two people guarding the door were stunned by the dress of the three people.
Chen Li was dressed in a brocade suit, with a big red flower hanging on his chest.
Tang Liniang is equipped with a phoenix crown and a veil, and the red wedding dress is worn in the Chen family's mansion, the ancestors of the Chen family walked out from here, and too many outstanding talents of the Chen family have come out from here, and too many Chen family members have shed blood and died here, this is a house that integrates blood and glory.
On the main seat facing the door, the old lady Chen was sitting in a precarious position, his face was dark and calm, the Chen family and the Zi generation were beaten by the two children of the Dongzi generation, and his crutches were also robbed, and Chen Li also killed his cousin, his third grandson. The calamities and tribulations seem to have started when Chen Li reappeared in front of everyone, as Chen Li himself said, maybe he is really a broom star.
To say that the most ugly face is Chen Hetian, everyone turned into white clothes and draped in linen, and his face was whiter than the clothes he was wearing.
The Chen family and the characters were all sitting in the hall, and the east generation were all standing behind the and character generations, with solemn expressions, only Chen Hedi's second room was deserted, one was hiding behind the pillars of the hall to drink, and the other was waiting to be escorted to the hall for punishment.
......
In the Chen family's mansion, three red and bright clothes wandered among them, followed by two people in black clothes behind the three, their expressions were quite complicated.
Under the south wall, a stone moved, and Chen Li suddenly found that his eyes could see clearly, that is, there was a grass bud under the stone that was about to come out.
There was also a ginkgo tree on the other side of the east wall, autumn was almost over, and the leaves had already turned yellow, and after the heavy rain, the small fan-like leaves on the tree had almost fallen, and now another one had fallen.
Is the leaf dead? Or is it bored in the tree and wants to come down and walk?
Maybe not, it's that it wants to dance by itself, and the tree has solidified it, and it's been holding back for more than half a year, just waiting for this dance today.
The big sun drilled through the clouds, the golden sun shone down, it was very warm, the light was very eye-catching, Tang Liniang raised her hand to cover her eyes, "It's strange, how can this sun shine on the body and get colder and colder." Chen Li smiled, he kept a smile since he went out, and he didn't change, and he wasn't afraid that his face would freeze in the already cold weather.
Xiao Tian raised his head in confusion, looked at the sun, tilted his head to look at Chen Li, and said, "Sir, are you unconscious?" ”
As he spoke, Xiao Tian tightened Chen Li's hand a little tighter.
Chen Li smiled, this time he really smiled, because he showed his teeth.
"Xiaotian knows a lot, Mr. is not frozen wood, but cold wood here. He patted his chest and took Xiao Tian into his arms with one hand. Naturally, he took Tang Liniang's hand, this time he didn't blush, and the warm smile on his face was even stronger, "It's too late for you to regret it now, even if it's for Xiaotian, you shouldn't go with me this time." ”
Seeing Chen Li holding her hand, Tang Liniang smiled and said, "From the day I passed the door, I was destined to be your person, you are the head of the family, where you go, I will follow...... On the night of the thunderstorm when the demon clan went south, I couldn't leave with another man who was very important to me, and this time, I didn't want to live in pain and have another nightmare every night...... As for Xiaotian, he has lost a father, and he is separated from a gentleman by yin and yang, and when he grows up, he may hate me for being selfish, why don't you take him down to accompany you. ”
This time, Chen Li didn't speak again, but he had already thought very clearly in his heart.
He firmly believes that there are immortal immortals in this world, but there is no netherworld for the dead, if there is really such a place, why do those people ask for the immortal immortal Dao.
Instead of letting their mother and son accompany him innocently into a handful of loess, it is better to let them live, at least Tang Liniang can still have nightmares, and Xiaotian can still hate him for being selfish when he grows up.
It was already very close to the hall, and the two black-clothed guards did not follow anymore, but guarded on both sides of the verandah.
In front of the hall door, there are more than a dozen black-clothed nursing homes, three steps and one post, tightly guarded.
Holding Xiaotian and holding Tang Liniang, Chen Li calmly walked to the door of the hall, put down Xiaotian in his arms, straightened the big red flower on his chest, raised his head to look at the sun in the sky, and muttered: "It's still so cold, it's good to be cold wood, it won't hurt if you get a knife down, turn your head and smile at Tang Liniang, and the two of them stepped into the hall together."
The Chen family members in the hall felt inexplicable when they saw the three people dressed in festive clothes, which made the hall quieter and the atmosphere more serious.
Among the Chen family members wearing filial piety clothes and sackcloth, the three of them are so eye-catching.
Against this oppressive aura, Chen Li pulled the mother and son to Chen Hedi and Pan Yingfeng, and said with a smile: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have your blood in my body after all, my mother is gone, and you are the only person in the world who has a direct relationship with me, I have something I want to ask you to do today."
Chen Hedi's expression was complicated, I don't know whether he was happy or sad, Pan Yingfeng was still the same.
"You name it, I promise you. Chen Hedi finally sighed and said heavily.
"It's very simple, today I want to visit Liniang, and you will be a witness. Chen Li said with a smile.
"Nonsense! What kind of place do you think of Chen's house! Not to mention that you will be punished for killing my son today!" Chen Hetian stood up angrily, pointed at Chen Li with his right hand, and his eyes were red.
The youngest Chen Heren opened his mouth to say something, but his wife pulled a cuff and pulled it back.
Chen Hedi also stood up, and finally shook his head and sat down as if he remembered something.
originally thought that this matter would not be done, Chen Li's smile was also put away, and Tang Liniang gave Tang Liniang an apologetic look, but Tang Liniang smiled indifferently and patted Chen Li's hand comfortingly.
"Who wants to punish him, before the matter is clear, he is still a person in my second room, and the people in my second room must have your consent to worship and become a family, and the eldest brother is not deceiving me There are few people in the second room. ”
No one thought that Pan Yingfeng would actually stand up and speak at this time, and those in the know thought that the Chen family would not have anyone to help Chen Li this time, but they didn't expect the most unlikely Rakshasa woman to stand up.
In order to cooperate with Pan Yingfeng, Chen Dongsheng, who was sitting under the pillar and drinking, pulled out his sword with a loud bang.
Chen Dongsheng put on this attitude, and the Chen family understood that the Chen family had two young, but all of them together may not be able to beat any of the three principals in the second room.
"It's the opposite! it's all the opposite!" Chen Hetian shouted angrily, but he still sat down obediently.
Old Lady Chen, who was sitting on the main seat, simply closed her eyes.
"Come to the church, there is no master of ceremonies here, there is no big scene, but I owe you the girl, and I can't welcome you into the Chen family in a beautiful way. Pan Yingfeng rarely smiled, but this time she looked at Tang Liniang in a wedding dress, and she finally smiled.
His eyes swept to Xiao Tian with short legs, beckoned, and said kindly: "Come to grandma, do business for your parents." ”
When these words came out, Tang Liniang also knew who the domineering woman in front of her was, she patted Xiaotian's head and asked him to go to Pan Yingfeng.
"Worship heaven and earth!" Pan Yingfeng said in a loud voice.
Chen Li took Tang Liniang's hand, turned around to face the blue sky and white sun outside the door of the hall, and knelt down in unison.
The people in the big room of the Chen family were trembling with anger, his family was doing a funeral, while the second room was doing a happy event in front of them.
"Second worship the high hall!" Pan Yingfeng said in a loud voice.
Chen Li and the two knelt down at the joyful Pan Yingfeng and the bitter Chen Hedi.
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
The two held hands and bowed to each other.
"Licheng!"
After finishing the business, Chen Li smiled on his face, and said in the direction where the big house person was: "My first thing is done, now let's do the second thing." ”
"Please family law!"
Old lady Chen, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating her mind, let out a deep sigh and opened her eyes after Chen Li finished worshipping the hall.
A big man in black came out from behind the plaque in the hall, and he knew that it was the Chen family's nursing home.
He walked over with a rattan whip in both hands, and all the Chen family members present got up from their seats, except for Chen Dongsheng, and everyone else looked at the rattan whip with awe.
Old Lady Chen also took the rattan whip with both hands, and then walked behind the main seat with a serious expression.
There was a black cloth covering it, and the scent of sandalwood came from inside, and the black cloth was pulled away, and behind it were dozens or hundreds of tablets. "The ancestors of the Chen family are on top, and now there are children surnamed Chen who are killing each other in the same clan, so I ask the family law to consider this matter. "Old lady Chen raised the rattan whip family method and bowed deeply in front of these tablets of the Chen family. turned around and said to everyone: "It's my grandson who died, and it's my grandson who wants to be tried, you can judge yourself in the second room, and then call me if there is a result, I'll squint first, this person is old, it's Jueduo." ”
Everyone was a little confused about Old Lady Chen's attitude, because this was really not his character.
Chen Hetian smiled calmly when he saw it, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, and then looked at Chen Li as if he was looking at a dead man.
"The Chen family has been able to gain a foothold in Tianxuan for many years, all relying on the unity of the past dynasties, and the family law is strict. Chen Hetian stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, and pronounced the sentence of Chen Li's crime with righteousness and awe.
But before he finished speaking, Pan Yingfeng also stood up and sneered: "At that time, anyone could see that Chen Li was already delirious, and when he used his sword, it was completely a move. ”
"But it's a fact that he killed Dongguan. Chen Hetian said angrily.
"It is also true that Chen Dongguan wanted to kill Chen Li at that time. Pan Yingfeng was not to be outdone Chen Hetian was unwilling to mess around with this woman, it was already a foregone conclusion that the coffin was closed, if he was stupid for a while, he would really be exonerated by Pan Yingfeng for Chen Li.
After looking left and right, and seeing Chen Heren, who was closing his eyes and recuperating his spirits, he immediately asked him: "Third brother, you are clear about the family law, is this cruelty to the same clan punished with a cane?"
Seeing that someone mentioned himself, Chen Heren opened his eyes with a smile and said: "The eldest brother is right, there is this article in the family law, but the second sister-in-law is also right, it is indeed Xiao Li's delirium, and Dongguan is ruthless again, Xiao Li resisted with all his strength and killed Dongguan by mistake...... They are all children of the Chen family, who will have a blood feud with whom!"
These words show his attitude, this is a matter for the two of you, and it has nothing to do with me, but the last sentence has a deep meaning.
If outsiders hear it, it is indeed like that, but as long as it is a Chen family member who knows what happened four years ago, they will know what it means.
Chen Hetian was suddenly angry, his trembling hand pointed at Chen Heren, and then pointed at Pan Yingfeng, and finally flicked his cuffs and sat in the chair.
Seeing that his man was frustrated, the wife of the big house suddenly began to cry, calling her son pitiful, and no one gave justice to the host when he died.
Chen Hedi couldn't sit still anymore, and kept persuading his sister-in-law with good words, but he still bit Chen Li to death in his mouth, which was manslaughter.
Seeing that the two parties began to mess up their theories, Chen and the people were like Old Lady Chen, and the old god was sitting in the chair, and when someone mentioned him, he casually said some official words that did not help each other. Chen Li, as the party concerned, instead pulled Tang Liniang's mother and son and walked towards Chen Dongsheng, who was squatting under the pillar.
The two sides are arguing about other things, not deciding whether he lives or dies.
Seeing a family of three coming, Chen Dongsheng smiled and said, "Why, don't pay attention to it, it's a matter of life and death for you." ”
Chen Li also smiled, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time, and after dragging a chair for Tang Liniang's mother and son to sit down, he sat down on the ground like him when he came to Chen Dongsheng's side.
"No one will listen to anything I say now, anyway, if someone wants me to die, someone wants me to live, let them fight for it. ”
"You can see it too...... Why did you come to me and want me to help you too? Chen Dongsheng said with a smile.
"It's nothing, I just want to come to you to beg for a drink, and if I stay, I'll kill me with a cane. You can't feel pain even when you're drunk. Chen Li snatched Chen Dongsheng's wine gourd and poured it into his mouth, only then did he say his purpose.
He was not annoyed when he was robbed of the wine gourd, Chen Dongsheng just laughed, leaned into Chen Li's ear and whispered: "I only said half of the words, just say what you want me to do, I hate people who talk half the most." ”
Chen Li didn't speak, just looked at Tang Liniang's mother and son tenderly, and watched the two hug each other talking and laughing.
Following Chen Li's eyes, seeing the mother and son, Chen Dongsheng took a sip of wine and said, "Do you want me to help you take care of their mother and son?" ”
"It's not that simple. Chen Li took the wine gourd, drank a big mouthful and said: "If Li Niang hears the verdict that I want to be killed with a cane, she will definitely take the child to find a short time, I hope you can stop her, with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult." ”
"I thought it was something, it was a trivial matter, this woman is really Zhenyeol, her husband ...... The ex-husband was killed by the demon clan......"
The two didn't say anything more, they changed the wine gourd, you drank a sip of wine, I drank a sip of wine, and there was a quarrel between the second room and the big room in my ears.
After a long time like this, there was still a lot of noise in the hall.
Chen Dongsheng seemed to have made some decision, and said to Chen Li: "Do you want to live, or do you want to live without controversy?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Li held the gourd's hand for a while, and only after a while did he say: "No one wants to live, let's say, what do you want, or rather, what do you want me to do." ”
Chen Dongsheng took the wine gourd, took a sip of it, and then said with his teeth bared: "I don't have anything for you to do, I just want to give Qingsha a pillar of incense." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Li straightened up and looked directly at Chen Dongsheng in front of him, that look was like seeing Chen Dongsheng's heart through his eyes, wanting to discover something.
But unfortunately, Chen Li was destined to not be able to see from a pair of cloudy eyes.
