Chapter 5: The Loss of Mother
Gu Hui and his entourage came to the General's Mansion this morning to find the Song family, and immediately said that the capital had sent someone to bring a holy decree to raid the house, and the soldiers had been stationed in the mansion, and the family was the only one hiding from her. forced her to split up the family, and asked her to take out the dowry, saying that the Gu family would definitely take care of Gu Huanyi.
Song thought of what was written in the prophecy letter, thinking that Gu's crime of raiding the house would be sentenced so quickly, and he immediately vomited blood and fainted.
At this moment, she woke up Youyou, she was already at the end of her strong crossbow, holding on to her last breath, wanting to see her daughter again.
Gu Huanyi knelt in front of the bed and cried, shouting for Lang Zhong to come.
Song held his daughter's hand tightly and instructed him: "The family property that your mother handed over to you yesterday, you must not hand it over to others...... That's what you'll be able to rely on in the future...... If, if those people bully you again...... You will go to the Song family in the capital...... Your grandmother won't leave you alone......"
"Mother! Mother, hold on, Lang Zhong will be here soon! Gu Huanyi was so anxious that he cried out: "Mother, don't have anything to do, Huan'er is afraid!" Mother......"
Li Congxin followed to the door of the dormitory, looking at the mother and daughter on the bed with heavy eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
Song didn't get through to Langzhong, so he swallowed his breath.
Gu Huanyi screamed and cried, constantly shouting "mother" in his mouth, but Song never opened his eyes to respond to her.
Li Congxin felt that nothing could comfort this little girl who had become an orphan girl, so she had to accompany her and let her vent.
After crying for a while, Gu Huanyi suddenly jumped up from the side of the bed and ran out quickly.
"Where are you going!" Li Congxin saw that her face was wrong, and hurriedly went to stop her, but he didn't expect her to be extremely fast, and she ran out in a flash.
Gu Huanyi went back to the room and picked up his sword, ran to the front yard and rode a horse and rushed out.
Li Congxin was afraid that something would happen to her, so he immediately brought someone to follow her.
Gu Huanyi rode his horse and galloped on the streets of Liangzhou, and rushed into Renyi Fang after a few turns.
Renyifang is the place where the side branch of the Gu family lives, and most of the distant relatives outside the family live here.
She ran into the alley, and the sound of horses' hooves alarmed the people around, and kicked over several washbasins on the side of the road, attracting people in the street to look at it.
These people all knew the eldest lady of the Gu family in the General's Mansion, and when they saw her face full of anger and holding a sword in her hand, they shouted in surprise: "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”
Gu Huanyi shouted fiercely: "Where is Gu Hui?" Let him out! ”
Everyone was puzzled, but the General's Mansion, as the head of the Gu family, was still there, and someone replied truthfully: "Gu Hui's daughter-in-law was injured in her hand and sent to Jishitang for treatment." ”
Gu Huanyi turned around and was about to go out, but was grabbed by someone.
A middle-aged man with a familiar face saw that the situation was not right, and persuaded: "The eldest lady is angry, but what did Gu Hui do wrong to annoy the young lady?" Miss Haihan, now that the general has an accident, our clan should be more united, don't be rash! ”
Gu Huanyi cried: "Gu Hui is so angry that my mother vomited blood and died, I want to cut him down to avenge my mother!" ”
The crowd was shocked and cried out.
As the mother of the Song family, although she is not in good health on weekdays, she does not take care of the affairs of the clan much, but no matter who has an accident and asks her for silver, she has never been stingy.
At this moment, when they heard that Song had died, many women began to cry one after another.
Gu Huanyi broke free from the man's pull, drove out of Renyi Fang on horseback, and happened to meet Li Congxin who was following him at the door.
Li Congxin led two teams of cavalry to block the road, Gu Huanyi knew that he couldn't beat it, so he said: "Don't stop me, this is my family affair, and it has nothing to do with you!" ”
Li Congxin looked at Gu Huanyi, who was wearing a plain silk, holding a silver sword, and his face was full of anger, and his thoughts suddenly returned to a certain year in his previous life.
At that time, he was just an idle son, I heard that something happened to the Gu family in Liangzhou, and the family was sentenced to exile, and there was only one daughter who avenged her mother, and because of her filial piety, she moved King Xian, so that King Xian came forward to intercede in front of the emperor to save the girl from punishment.
Later, Li Congxin heard that this girl was taken into the capital by King Xian, so he wanted to see what kind of bold girl she was, and at this glance, he saw Gu Huanyi's short and tragic life.
And the brief encounter with her also left indelible regrets and remorse in his heart.
"Get out of the way!"
The girl's scolding voice recalled Li Congxin's thoughts from his previous life.
He said with a cold face: "You can go and kill Gu Hui now, but the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone you?" Right now, General Gu's bones are not cold, you haven't avenged them, and their wisdom has not been proven, are you going to bury yourself like this? If you commit a crime and go to prison, who will let your parents and brothers be blind under the spring? Only if you cheer up first and learn to cherish yourself, can you avenge the Gu family and inherit your father's unfinished ambition! ”
The death of his mother was the last straw that crushed Gu Huanyi's spirit.
In the past few days, she has been cooperating with the clansmen to handle the funeral, but she has not seen the remains of her father and brother, so she has never really accepted the fact that her father and brother died in battle.
But this morning, she touched her mother's body with her own hands to get a little cold, which made her have to face reality.
Her father, mother, and brother are all dead!
Now, she is a helpless orphan!
"Ahh Gu Huanyi shouted and waved the silver sword, slashing the archway of Renyi Fang hard, but the hatred in her heart could not be dissolved!
Is the avalanche really providential? Was the collapse of the Tianhu dam really an accident? There are also the Beiyi enemy army, who are the executioners who killed their father and brother.
And those moths of the Gu family, she can't let them succeed, she can't let the stitches of the Gu family's master fall into the hands of those greedy and ugly people!
Gu Huanyi let go of the silver sword in his hand, lay on the back of the horse and cried: "Dad! Mother! What should the daughter do! ”
Li jumped off the horse from the heart, picked up the saber for her, and jumped on Gu Huanyi's horse.
He grabbed the reins of the horse and took the girl home.
"Don't be afraid, I'll give you justice."
Gentle but powerful words came from behind him, like a promise, making Gu Huanyi feel at ease and reliable.
Her crying gradually weakened, and she said to herself: It's really strange, the relatives of the clan are unreliable, why would they want to rely on this stranger......
Gu Huanyi cried on horseback and fainted, and was picked up by Li Congxin.
Mama Miao is also over half a hundred years old, the big master of the family has died one after another, and now only the only little master is left, and she is like a life by her side.
Gu Huanyi woke up near noon, and as soon as she woke up, she thought of her mother's death, so she ran barefoot to her mother's room.
Mama Miao followed behind and shouted: "The holy envoy has arranged for someone to set up the mourning hall, and the lady has already been buried......"
Gu Huanyi's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned around and ran towards the mourning hall in the front yard.
The gate of the General's Mansion was still closed, and when Butler Song Ping saw Gu Huanyi coming, he stepped forward to say to her: "Miss, many people came to Renyi Fang to mourn Madame, but without your permission, the little one didn't let them in......"
"Tell them to get out." Gu Huanyi felt hatred in her heart, even if there were some kind and innocent clansmen outside the door, she couldn't care about it at the moment.
