Chapter 34: The Scarlet Bride
Gu San didn't wear such clothes. The brocade clothes and the phoenix crown are all old objects from a hundred years ago in her memory. and her twisted little feet, I vaguely have the impression that it is probably the torture that only women in the Republic of China will suffer. She stood up and walked a few steps, but the woman behind her was still weeping, and interpreted her words differently: "I know you blame me...... You blame us...... As long as such resentment and blame can make you feel better, no matter what you say, your mother will not be angry. ”
She stretched out her hand towards Gu San, asking for her forgiveness as if begging, "But we can't help it." This family is going to be unable to hold on. If there is a man in the house...... If you had an older brother or younger brother, things might not be so bad. But who made my mother useless...... Hey......"
Gu Sanhui shook her hand. This is a pair of well-maintained hands, although there are faint traces of time, but they are still soft and calloused. She crouched down in front of the woman, looked up at the woman's dressing, and wiped tears from her face.
"I don't blame you." She watched her tears flow uncontrollably, "But it's ridiculous that I'm not her anymore, but you leave it to pass." I avenged the person who killed her, as a thank you for giving me this life. ”
The woman finally realized the strangeness of what she had said, and for a moment she didn't know how to express it, and she was stunned. She watched as her daughter, who was very familiar with her, let go of her hand and walked to the dresser, took off the many beads and hairpins from her hair, and untied her long hair. Then I took scissors and cut all my hair neatly.
As soon as this move came out, the female dependents on the side were dumbfounded. She dusted off her hair and stood up.
"Someone out there is to pick me up, right?"
When no one answered, she walked out the door herself. When he was about to push open the door, he turned his head and glanced at the three women in the room, "Don't be afraid to run away." As soon as I'm gone, when it's dark, you can quickly pack up your things and go. I'm afraid that what I'm going to do will implicate you. ”
"Hui'er? You...... What are you going to do? ”
"Don't ask. Remember what I said, just run. ”
After speaking, Gu San pushed open the door and looked at the man and the matchmaker who greeted him. Gu San raised his chin towards the two of them, "Let's go, lead the way." ”
The matchmaker looked at her freshly cut short hair, and was dumbfounded for a while, but Steward Li reacted quickly, pulled the red hijab in the matchmaker's hand and handed it to her, "Aunt Fifteen, please here." ”
Gu San took the red hijab and was a little puzzled, but the matchmaker hurriedly came over to cover it for her, and squatted down, "Come, the bride is getting married!" ”
Gu San was silent and obediently leaned on the matchmaker's back.
The people who were watching the excitement outside Zhou's house finally saw the bride get on the sedan chair. The send-off procession beat gongs and drums all the way, and the cries from the house were drowned out. The sun was already a little hot in late spring and early summer, and the people who watched the play saw that the play was over, and finally went home in twos and threes.
The sun was slanting a little westward, and the sedan chair entered through the side door of Commander Li's mansion, and the firecrackers rang out, and everyone rejoiced, and everyone was happy, as if no one remembered that the bride had just refused to die because of sadness and sadness in the morning.
The matchmaker sent the bride to the front of the hall, the master of ceremonies shouted "one worship heaven and earth", she was led by someone to "worship heaven and earth", the master of ceremonies shouted "two worship high hall", she also turned around with the white groom official husband, and caught up with the two tablets "two worship high hall".
The people who came to watch the ceremony looked at her docile appearance and said in private, "What kind of death is this?" Didn't you marry for money? ”
"What about Aunt Fifteen? Marrying a poor scholar as a wife, how can it be comfortable to follow Commander Li to eat and drink spicy food? ”
"Isn't it just to be a little wife, at this young age, she will definitely be favored."
"Looking for death and life, I still feel that the dowry gift given by Commander Li is not thick enough. When I wanted to come to Steward Li later, I married the beauty back after I broke the fortune. ”
"At a young age, the abacus is very good."
A tragedy about a young woman has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in everyone's mouths, and what she was painful and angry about before her death was still misunderstood after all, and was regarded as "a business" by people, and no one thought about it anymore.
With a cheering and jubilant voice, with the master of ceremonies saying "send into the cave room", Gu San covered his head, led by people, and walked towards the house. Most of her vision was obscured by the hijab, and she could only vaguely look at the road under her feet, but where there was wind and there were many people over there, she still knew in her heart.
Winding along the promenade of the mansion, gradually walking into a deserted courtyard. The men who had brought her in had taken her in, and then they had gone. The door closed with a creak, and Gu San was the only one left in the room, and there was no sound except for her own footsteps. She sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her hand and took off the hijab from her head, looked around the room, got up and looked at the doors and windows, turned back again, and rummaged through the furnishings of the room.
The candle holder is sharp, and the scissors in the dresser are not bad. The diora bundled aside, after being broken, should also be suitable for killing. Gu San has been dealing with these objects for too long, and as long as he holds them in his hand, he knows whether they are good or bad.
She's waiting, waiting for an opportunity. When the opportunity comes, it will be done quickly. Whether it is killing people or killing zombies, it is still the same in essence, in the final analysis, it is important to pay attention to the word "fast".
The sun was setting, and the bustle outside was dissipating little by little. Gu San sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the heavy footsteps outside, and approached the room little by little. She put the hijab back on.
The door creaked, and the man walked in with a crooked smell of wine. He staggered, drunk, and stood by the door and waved to the people outside, "Go, go!" Lao Tzu marries a little wife, you are envious! Do you want to listen to me in the corner here? Get out of here! ”
After saying that, he closed the door and walked towards the bride on the bed with a smile.
"I was so happy to suffer, but why did I lose my temper in the morning? Can I still wronged you? The man said, lifted Gu San's hijab, the little beauty in front of him lowered her eyebrows, and did not speak, he looked at the wound on her forehead and felt a little distressed, "Look at this injury, why can't you think about it so much?" From now on, I, Commander Li, will protect you! ”
As he spoke, he was about to pull Gu San's hand into his arms, but before the slender jade fingers touched, a cold light flickered, and when he reacted, his throat had been cut, and blood splattered out in an instant, dyeing the beautiful face of the white jade Guanyin in front of him bright red.
Commander Li clutched his throat and looked at her incredulously. In his eyes, Zhou Hui'er should be harmless, weak, and gentle, and it is impossible to be stained with blood in this life.
How can a woman be so cruel as to do something to someone? He originally had such an idea, and he had already had a lot of ideas for the little wife he married. It's just a woman, it's just another soul that can be controlled, what's so difficult? No matter how reluctant I was at the beginning, I tried to struggle and finally found a compromise in my life little by little.
That's a woman, a woman.
Can a woman still kill someone?
This knife was cut with the vocal cords and arteries, and even if someone was called to save it at this time, there was no way to recover. Gu San threw aside the bloodstained broken lens in his hand, calmly groped around him, found a pistol, and found a dagger.
The white-headed commander with a big belly tilted his body and fell to the side on the bed. His blood stained the entire bed red, redder than the red lantern that grew outside.
Gu San took off the red clothes on his body, wiped his face with water, and found the clothes and pants that Ben had prepared for the old man in the closet to change into. Her little feet were very in the way, and she took off her shoes and socks to look closely, and the instep of her feet was arched, completely deformed, and she couldn't walk normally, and if she was treated as a fracture, she would have to struggle to break it back, which she couldn't do by herself at the moment.
Fu put on his shoes and socks again, so that with such a pair of feet, other shoes could not be replaced, so he could only temporarily wear the red embroidered shoes when he got married. She walked to the door and looked out, but fortunately Commander Li scolded a few times before entering the house, and there was no one outside the door at this time, but it made it convenient for her. Gu San grabbed the pistol, clenched the dagger, and gently pushed the window open.
Fortunately, the moonlight was bleak tonight, and the lanterns in Commander Li's mansion were not too dense, and many places were pitch black at a glance, which made it convenient for her to sneak and hide. When she reached the back door and was about to leave, she suddenly heard footsteps, and a loud shout came, "Who's there!" ”
The man was holding the lantern, and as soon as Gu San heard it, he recognized that it was Steward Li, who picked her up during the day, so when the lantern approached step by step, he rushed forward and put a dagger against his throat, "Shh, don't make noise, open the door for me." ”
When Steward Li heard her voice, he wanted to struggle, but the blade immediately cut a wound on his neck, and blood beads immediately oozed out.
"I'm not kidding you, they've all killed people, and you're not too much."
There was a faint smell of blood on her body, and Steward Li finally panicked when she heard this, "You...... Aunt Fifteen, what are you doing here? ”
"Open the door."
He shuddered and approached the back door, slowly pulling open the rafters.
The door had already opened, but Gu San didn't let go of Steward Li, but instead tied his hands with the belt found in the cabinet earlier.
"I'm sorry, Steward Li. I killed your commander, and I won't be able to stay here for long. You can just be wronged and accompany me for a while. He also showed him the gun and dagger he already had in front of him, "As long as you don't speak, I won't kill you now." But if you shout, I can take your life with both things. ”
Steward Li swallowed his saliva, and as soon as his knees weakened, he knelt down, "Auntie, please do well, I am old and young, if it weren't for the commander's will, I wouldn't have brought you here." Just eat a mouthful of food, and give it a way to live. ”
Gu San didn't say much, just pulled the rope in his hand and dragged him forward.
"Miss Zhou, you have a kind heart and are compassionate. Miss Chow ...... Miss Zhou! ”
Gu San didn't answer again, just blew out the candle flame and dragged him into the night.
