Chapter 106: Zhao Jing dies
I can't tell why Qi Yunshu has such thoughts, but with this uneasiness, she survived three days.
On the fourth day, it was a noon on the fifth day of the eighth month, she was holding an abacus bead in her backyard as usual to settle the accounts, and saw that the business of adding chili sauce in the restaurant made a total profit of one hundred and six taels, but she was still not happy, and suddenly heard a quick knock on the door in a trance.
"Zhao Niangzi, Zhao Niangzi ......"
Qi Yunshu's heart trembled, and with the force in her hand, even the abacus bead that she had always cherished the most collapsed.
Looking at the round and pitch-black beads, Qi Yunshu's heart tightened, and then she got up and staggered to open the door.
Standing outside the door was a small guy from Yunfu.
His name is Xiaohe, and he is the person Yun Rugui occasionally calls in the past, and this time I heard that he went to the field to do business with him.
Seeing that it was him, Qi Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked intently, "May I ask what you are looking for me?" "She privately thought that it should be something related to Yunfu, so there was no need to worry.
But who would have thought that the little guy named Xiaohe said: "Zhao Niangzi, it's not good, your Zhao Xiucai had an accident at the post station on the outskirts of Baoning Mansion!" β
Qi Yunshu's heart suddenly skipped, and she grabbed the door frame and hurriedly asked, "What happened to him?" β
"The post station is going to the water, and the fire is burning Zhao Xiucai, you go quickly, our eldest young master is there and arranges a carriage for you to hurry over, go now, I'm afraid I will have time to collect his body in a hurry!"
When the words fell, Qi Yunshu's figure staggered, almost not standing firmly, and the ten fingers of both hands grabbed the door frame "thump".
"No...... Impossible! He read silently, but his feet involuntarily followed the little guy into the carriage parked by the door, and he forgot to say hello to Zhao Sanniang!
The road is urgent, and it takes five hours to drive on weekdays, but today it only took four hours.
As soon as the car stopped, Qi Yunshu didn't care about the dizziness and nausea caused by the motion sickness, jumped out of the carriage, almost unsteady, but a pair of big hands appeared and quietly helped her, and she stabilized.
"Yun Niang...... Go and see, let RosΓ© follow you, and let her hold you if it's uncomfortable! It was Yun Rugui who spoke, and he really stayed here as Xiaohe said.
And what he assigned was Taojing, a girl who had had an awkward relationship with Qi Yunshu in the past.
But at this time, Qi Yunshu didn't care about it, and she rushed towards the place where many people gathered.
Through the crowd, I saw a tall porch, there was a very wide courtyard inside, and I stood in a circle of officials dressed in uniform uniforms, and when I saw her enter, someone held a waist knife and stopped the door: "Stop, what person!" β
Qi Yunshu was in a trance, her cheeks were pale, her eyes looked up at the man blankly, and her lips moved, but she couldn't speak.
Still not worried, Yun Rugui, who had been following her behind her, said hello to her: "Wang Ban, this is the wife of the deceased Zhao Xiucai, he is here to collect Zhao Xiucai's body!" β
The official named Wang Ban put away the waist knife when he heard this, looked at her with sympathy, pointed inside, and said, "Oh, the innermost one on the ground in the east!" Originally, he was supposed to go to Yizhuang, but Lord He said that there were family members who wanted to come, so he waited a little longer! β
Qi Yunshu stumbled in, only to see that an entire building in the courtyard was burned, at this time it was pitch black, and when he approached, there was a residual heat rushing towards him, and the air was full of burnt smell after things were burned, and the smell was disgusting!
On the ground of the blackened building were three charred corpses, two of which were already kneeling on the ground and weeping loudly.
The one leaning against the innermost part of the wall was lonely, black, like a black branch that had burned out its shape and forked.
That's not Zhao Jing, it's definitely not Zhao Jing!
Qi Yunshu comforted herself as she walked, but her red eyes were hot, and tears kept falling as if she didn't want money.
One by one, some fell to the ground, some smashed on the back of her hand, and she was so uncomfortable that her heart was choked by someone's hand, and even her breathing hurt.
"Zhao Jing......" finally arrived at the charred corpse, she looked carefully with tears in her eyes, this black mass did not feel from a distance, but up close, whether it was her body or body type, she was the same as Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing...... You...... Zhao Jing, don't ......" Qi Yunshu's fingers trembled, wanting to touch him but didn't dare, his hands hung in the air, struggling silently in the air.
"You're dead...... So what do I do, what do I do? She has never faced such a life-and-death separation in her two lives, she doesn't feel it on weekdays, but when she heard that Zhao Jing had become like this, her heart felt as if she had been hollowed out, and sadness came from it!
Thinking that she was an orphan, she grew up in an orphanage, and there were a lot of births, and from time to time her partners who played well disappeared, and she felt sad at first, but then she got used to it after having Liang Tian's company.
And when she grows up, no matter how different her classmates and friends are, there is always Liang Tian by her side, so loneliness or anything does not exist.
But it's different here, she didn't know many people in the past half a year, Zhao Jing, Zhao Sanniang, Tian, Zhao Wenda, Mrs. Yun, Yun Rugui and others, think about it can be counted on both hands, and the closest one is Zhao Jing.
Because of the original owner, they already have the reality of husband and wife, although she has always refused to admit it in her heart, and it is very shameful to separate the body from the spirit, but in the eyes of others, they are one, husband and wife!
In such a relationship that everyone recognizes, slowly her stubbornness also began to be assimilated, plus Zhao Jing looks too much like Liang Tian, like in the dark night, she often gets confused when she looks at his side face, thinking that he is Liang Tian, Liang Tian is him, but he has lost the memory of Liang Tian!
Can ...... now
Whether it was Zhao Jing or Liang Tian, they were gone, only the lone charred corpse lying on the ground.
"No...... Zhao Jing, don't, you don't want to die! Her heart hurt like a torn strip of cloth, and she didn't care about the charred corpse, so she lay on the ground and cried like a tearful person.
The cry of the person next to him came from his ears: "Third Brother Wang, you died so miserably, which god doesn't have long eyes, you don't sleep in the middle of the night to read, and you light the lamp and burn the tent......"
"the kid...... Why is it bad for you to go back to your mother's house...... Hai Niang, what will you do if you let our grandfather do it in the future......"
β¦β¦
The crying around him progressed layer by layer, each one sadder than the other, but it made Qi Yunshu's quiet sad crying here particularly prominent.
But the sadness in her heart at this time was indescribable, and her heart hurt as if someone had stabbed her with a knife, and her breathing was disordered and her tears couldn't stop.
"Yun Niang......" Yun Rugui looked at the woman who was crying on the charred corpse, and her body kept arching, and she couldn't feel it anymore.
The infinite pathos and depression made his voice can't help but be hoarse......
"People can't be resurrected after death, and the festival mourns and changes!"
Qi Yunshu couldn't stop crying, her mind was full of Zhao Jing's figure, he was obviously unhappy when he met for the first time, but he still patiently and gently took care of her who was sick.
Seeing her talking to Zhao Liangtian, there was vinegar in her eyes, but when facing her, she was always as warm as jade.
He seemed to have no temper, let her make trouble, let her be angry, but she knew that he had a heart for him, and sometimes when she saw his starry eyes, she seemed to have a feeling, as if he knew everything, her details, her careful thoughts, her room was estranged.
But he still treats her gently and patiently, so that when she faces him, she will always be as gentle as in spring.
Even he was in his twenties like a wolf and a tiger, but because of her unwillingness, he was able to take three cold showers in one night with a slight frown...... It turns out that he is so good......
Are some things and some people precious only after they are lost?
Qi Yunshu was full of tears, looking at the strange black corpse in the sun, there was a feeling of sudden dream, and his stiff fingers touched his right hand as if there was some kind of guidance.
The abbot of Liuyun Temple had previously said that her family was suffering from blood, so she went to ask for a string of Buddhist beads, which contained precious Buddha relics. Obviously, ten taels of silver could not be bought, but she invited it, and later heard that Old Madam Yun said that it was an extra grace given to her by the abbot master.
I probably feel like I'm destined for her!
She eagerly touched Zhao Jing's wrist, the Buddha beads, what about the Buddha relics?
Didn't you say that that thing was a good thing that couldn't be cut by a knife and couldn't be broken by fire? But now, the skin that wasn't completely charred was empty.
Qi Yunshu's heart thumped.
