Chapter 14: Wave after Wave
It's the end of September in a blink of an eye, chrysanthemum yellow, crab paste fat, and the autumn breeze makes people drunk.
Li Zheng wrote to say that he and Zhang Ziqing had packed up and were about to go to the capital, and told Mrs. Tan's mother and daughter to pay attention to their bodies.
But it is said that in the golden autumn, Hangzhou will hold a chrysanthemum poetry meeting on the mountain, enjoy chrysanthemums, eat crabs, the whole city is out, and tourists are weaving.
It's just that this year, the most famous scholars have gone to the capital, and the poetry meeting is not as lively as in previous years, but the common people don't care about this, or travel with their families, climb high and look far away, and look forward to good luck.
I saw that there were crowds everywhere on the mountain, girls and boys were busy dating their sweethearts, children were busy playing and eating, and adults were admiring chrysanthemums and watching the excitement. There are 10,000 chrysanthemums on the mountain, competing for strange and beautiful, strange stones and different pines in the distance, and it is not a paradise on earth.
The big families in the city have set up tents on the top of the mountain, which are colorful and cloudy, stretching for miles. The Gao family also set up a big tent on the mountain, and the old lady, lady and girl all came out to play.
After lunch, several girls came out to play together, only to see a boy and a girl quarreling, the girl was only seven or eight years old, with two pigtails on her head, and two strings of sugar gourds in her hands, very cute, the boy was even more ice and snow smart, and he could see that he was born in a wealthy family, only to see the boy say: "You have so many sugar gourds, and you have to buy them again." ”
"Brother Liang, do I want to eat, you can buy it for me, or I will ignore you."
"Ignore it, ignore it, hum, glutton, your teeth will decay." The boy huffed.
"Hmph, don't regret it, when you come to beg me, I won't pay attention to you." The girl was even more angry, and turned to run, but the boy hesitated for a moment, and immediately ran after him.
Several people looked at each other and laughed, Yan Ya and Yan Min chatted while walking, Tan Yin walked behind and thought about her thoughts, and slowly fell dozens of meters behind Yan Ya and them.
At this time, someone suddenly rushed out, but it was the Li Dadao, Tan Yin was startled, and accidentally stepped on the air, but he didn't think that there was a slope on the side, and he actually slipped down.
Then Li Dadao saw that Tan Yin had slid down, and he also slid down the slope.
All this happened so fast that everyone didn't react at all, and when they did, they were all stunned.
The crowd exclaimed, "Someone has fallen, someone has fallen." Several young ladies ran to the side of the slope, the slope is very deep, the slope wall is full of rocks, dozens of zhang high, in fact, it is a cliff with a gentle slope, the bottom of the valley is lush with vegetation, the fog is hazy, and the situation is not clear, a few people cried, and Yan Min immediately ran back to call the eldest prince over.
In autumn, it gets dark quickly, and when the eldest prince brings someone over, it is late, and the cliff is already three floors on the left and three floors on the right.
Mrs. Tan cried when she saw that her daughter's life and death were uncertain, and the ladies and girls all cried bitterly, thinking of Tan Yin's gentleness and kindness, and complaining that God was not long-sighted and wanted to take away such a good girl.
The eldest prince and the servant squatted on the edge of the cliff to inspect carefully, and when they heard everyone crying bitterly, they said loudly: "Don't cry, Ayin is not dead yet!" The crowd stopped crying and looked at him.
"Although the cliff here is steep, it has a certain slope, although the wall is full of rocks, it is inevitable that Ayin will be injured, but the rocks have also slowed down, Ayin will definitely not die." Gao Dagongzi said.
Everyone also felt justified when they heard this, and at this time, dozens of people came to the mighty dart bureau, and they heard that the young owner took the initiative to slide down the cliff, so they prepared to go down to the bottom of the cliff to find someone, and the Gao family also summoned the family to prepare to go down.
At this time, the master of the mighty dart bureau said: "At this time, it is late, the situation at the bottom of the valley is unknown, and the beasts and insects are infested. ”
"The entrance to the valley floor is a few miles away, we will walk to the entrance tonight, and then enter through the entrance of the valley floor, so that we can naturally find out what is going on and rescue the two of us, so as not to have any more casualties. Miss Biao is well versed in medical science, and if she is safe, she can naturally keep herself and the young owner safe. What's more, if a person has a fracture or something, he still needs to be carried on a stretcher, and he has to come up from the bottom of the valley to be proper. ”
Everyone said it made sense, but the Gao family was unwilling. Tan Yin, a big girl who has not been out of the cabinet, no one dares to guarantee what will happen when she stays with a young and strong man, especially since this man is still admiring Tan Yin, how can the Gao family rest assured.
Take 10,000 steps back and say: Even if there is nothing to do, so many people in Hangzhou have witnessed this incident tonight, this person is passed on from person to person, and the words are naturally ugly, I am afraid that Tan Yin's reputation will be damaged. The tall prince looked at the master of the mighty dart bureau to see how he answered.
This mighty master of the dart bureau naturally understands the intentions of the young owner, and hopes that he will be a hero to save the beauty and hold the beauty, so he naturally hopes to get along with the beauty more.
First, this cliff has a certain slope, Li Dadao is strong in martial arts, and the girl knows medical skills, so there will be no big deal in the future.
Second, it was getting late, and if the brothers had three longs and two shorts, it would be difficult to explain, so they hugged their fists and said that they needed to make a detour to the bottom of the valley to save people.
Seeing this, the Gao family was so anxious that they burned their eyebrows, which showed that the mighty dart bureau was unwilling, although the family members felt sorry for Miss Cousin, but they went down from the cliff and died accidentally. The eldest prince looked at the old lady, and the old lady looked at Mrs. Tan, and finally had to make a detour to the bottom of the valley to rescue.
The Gao family and the mighty dart bureau immediately organized people, held torches high, and walked towards the entrance of the valley floor. The road up the mountain was very difficult, and the people walked for about two hours to reach the entrance to the valley bottom, and continued to search along the valley floor.
The family was waiting at home, the old lady was crying breathlessly, Mrs. Tan was also very sad, and although the young ladies were also in pain, they also had to comfort the elders, just waiting for the news of the eldest son.
said that after Tan Yin fell to the bottom, her body was full of injuries and her legs were broken. Looking up at the sky, it was getting late, the top of the cliff was dozens of feet high, and the grass and trees at the bottom of the valley were deep, knowing that everyone would inevitably come to save her, but I was afraid that it would have to wait until midnight, and now I can only find a place to stay to spend tonight.
She had to move forward slowly, every small step made her sweat in pain, take one step and rest ten steps, fortunately there was a cave not far away, so she was about to walk in, suddenly heard a sound, looked back, but there was another person, Tan Yin was startled, when the person stood up and saw clearly, his heart was cold, it turned out to be Li Dadao, his heart was afraid, and he was nervous.
Li Dadao saw that although Tan Yin's clothes were torn and dirty, and her body and cheeks were injured, he still felt that she was extremely beautiful.
He has never forgotten Tan Yin since he saw her, and he wanted to marry her, but after the Gao family refused, he did not give up, carefully selected, and sent some things that the girl's family liked to her all day long, although she did not appreciate it and returned it every time, but she was still happy to do it, hoping that one day she would change her mind.
Later, the Gao family beckoned him through Old Lady Du not to disturb Miss Tan anymore, he was reluctant in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't push Tan Yin too hard, and he no longer entangled him from then on, but he had been secretly concerned.
This time the chrysanthemum poetry meeting was held on the mountain, and when I saw that she was also on the mountain, I secretly kept looking at her, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and finally saw her alone in the back, so I wanted to come out and talk to her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she was frightened, she accidentally fell down for a while, and she subconsciously came to save her.
Now that it's getting late, it is estimated that no one will come to save them until very late, so I have to take advantage of the opportunity.
Li Dadao was nervous when he saw Tan Yin seeing him, and hurriedly said, "Miss, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Tan Yin was still looking at him nervously.
Although Li Dadao is rough, he is not a brainless person, seeing that the girl's family is afraid of him, he naturally knows the reason when he thinks about it, and hurriedly says: "Although I am a rude person, I am also a man, I can't do the kind of thing that forces the girl's family, please rest assured." ”
Tan Yin stared at Li Dadao for a long time, seeing that his eyes were sincere, not like a fake. Although he hated him suddenly appeared, he was so frightened that he fell off the cliff. But seeing that his clothes were torn, I was grateful to think that he risked his life to save himself. Besides, I have to stabilize him for now, and believe him for the time being.
Tan Yin nodded to Li Dadao, Li Dadao was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed Tan Yin into the cave. Tan Yin was injured, and he stopped moving when he entered the cave, but Li Dadao was fine, but he went to the cave to find some dry branches and came over, and made a fire, and the fire illuminated the cave. On the one hand, Tan Yin was angry with Li Dadao, and on the other hand, she also wanted to let him succeed if Li Dadao had bad intentions, whether he hit the wall or jumped into the fire. Thinking about it like this, I was afraid that his heart was settled.
Li Dadao went outside again to pick some fruit and beat another hare. At that time, it was already late, and it was only because Li Dadao was a person who practiced martial arts, and his night vision was not as good as that of ordinary people, so he could pick up branches and get food.
Tan Yin saw Li Dadao sitting opposite him across the fire, and saw that he was polite in his words and deeds, and he was busy before and after, and he was a little grateful in his heart. This Li Dadao fell in love with Tan Yin at first sight, but he didn't dare to surprise the beauty, for fear that she would be angry, and just wanted to please her.
Li Dadao took the best part of the washed fruit and roasted hare and handed it to Tan Yin, and ate some of the rest himself, but after the two of them finished eating, they were still silent.
Tan Yin didn't dare to sleep, watching Li Dadao take care of himself like this, she couldn't help it, so she said, "Thank you Shaodong for saving me." ”
Li Dadao saw Tan Yin take the initiative to talk to him, and couldn't help but say: "Where is it, Miss understands my mind, and it is my blessing to be with Miss!" He used to speak casually, but now he is talking to Tan Yin deliberately and does not want to be looked down upon by her.
When he saw that Tan Yin's arms and clothes were torn, revealing the white skin inside, he stared at it in a daze. Tan Yin was unnatural when she heard this, and when she saw Li Dadao staring at her arm, she looked down, reacted, her face turned red, and she hurriedly covered her clothes.
"You know what I think about Miss: I'm a rough person, I can't come to those fancy things like scholars, I know that you have affection for Li Gongzi." Tan Yin looked at him in amazement.
Li Dadao said again: "You wonder how I know? I sent someone to check, but you are a talented and beautiful couple. But now that Li Gongzi has gone to the capital for the township test high school, if he goes to high school again, he will be a jinshi, but he will be an official, I am afraid that the two of you are not a good match, like your cousin and the second son of the Xu family, these two sons have not yet reached high school! I abandoned your cousin, although I heard that I have a little change of heart now, but this marriage is not child's play. ”
Tan Yin saw that he had said a lot, so he said: "I understand the kindness of the young owner, but we still have to make our own decisions about the affairs of Li Gongzi." ”
"Since ancient times, every time I slaughter dogs, I am mostly a scholar, so it's better for Miss to be careful." Li Dadao said.
Tan Yin saw that he talked about it again, but she didn't want to mention it more, so she diverted the topic, she was not familiar with Li Dadao, and she was mixed with such an awkward relationship, and she didn't want to deal with him more: Li Dadao said three words, Tan Yin only replied, Li Dadao also understood Tan Yin's thoughts, so he had to sigh secretly, knowing that he could only develop in the future.
Everyone continued to walk along the bottom of the valley for an hour or two, and finally found Tan Yin and Li Dadao.
Tan Yin didn't dare to sleep, she kept looking at the entrance of the cave, she didn't know that she had looked at it thousands of times, and finally saw that line of light, and waited until the eldest prince and his party.
The Gao family saw that Tan Yin was neatly dressed, safe and sound, and the injury was not serious, and they all turned from sadness to joy, and Mrs. Tan was even more heartbroken that her daughter suffered this great crime, but Tan Yin comforted everyone in the family.
However, there were rumors in the city that Li Dadao and Miss Gao Jiabiao stayed together for a few hours, and they had to take advantage of it. Li Dadao heard the rumors in the city, and went to Gaofu to ask for marriage, but was rejected by Mrs. Tan.
The Gao family was furious when they heard this, and ordered the servants not to reach Tan Yin's ears, but after all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, Tan Yin finally knew, the depression can be imagined, the lady and the girls are also depressed, the girl's family is always detrimental to the reputation, even if there is nothing to do, but it can't be said by one person.
The old woman was very sad to see her granddaughter like this, why did God treat the daughter of the Gao family so much, she was old, and she was only worried about a few grandchildren, why everything was not going well, and she had to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
The old woman sent another letter to the capital.
After this incident, Mrs. Tan and Tan Yin were very homesick, and Mrs. Tan wrote to Tan Jun.
