Chapter 121: Elopement

I heard the gossip of the aunt, saying that Master Liu had a strange disease, was it the incident with fish scales?

I didn't have time to think about it, and my aunt continued.

On the night of the concubine's disappearance, it rained heavily in Qingtan Town, the mountain road was slippery, and the weather was suddenly cold, and the long-term workers gradually ran back, the concubine was not in the cliff locust tree, but she did go, because there was still a wisp of residual cloth hanging on the branch of the locust tree, which was the color of the concubine's clothes in the morning.

The long-term workers didn't say any more, but everyone already knew that the concubine might have fallen off a cliff.

The eldest wife cried angrily, but she didn't expect to really poke out the basket and sprinkle her anger on the long-term workers, blaming them for why they didn't go down the cliff anymore to see, after all, life has to see people and dead corpses.

The long-term workers are too slippery on the road, and there is a deep valley under the cliff, if you want to come out, you need to climb up again, in case there is a mistake, I am afraid that I will die there.

And at that time, there were wolves in the mountains at night.

The good news is that only Steward Zhang did not come back, he was kind-hearted, and he took the risk to go down the cliff.

It rained heavily all night, and when everyone no longer had hope, Steward Zhang actually came back with the concubine on his back, and the basket behind the concubine was filled with acacia flowers.

Steward Zhang was in a mess, his clothes were all torn, and his body was covered with scars. And the concubine on her back didn't know whether she was alive or dead, she just closed her eyes.

Everyone greeted the two, and when Steward Zhang saw the people, he smiled and fainted.

After a few days, the concubine recovered, saying that she fell off the cliff that day, but fortunately, there was an uncle on the cliff, and there were many obstacles in the process of falling, and there were big trees under the cliff, and the branches were dense, and after falling to the ground, she did not die, but her feet were injured and she couldn't move anymore.

Then it rained again the day after tomorrow, and I thought I was going to die there, but I didn't want to hear someone shouting, it was Steward Zhang who came to find it.

After Steward Zhang found her, he carried her on his back and finally climbed up from the side, and after a night, the two finally escaped.

However, the concubine recovered, but Steward Zhang was injured, and since then she has been ill and unable to do heavy work.

Later, although Huaihua failed to cure Master Liu's illness, when Master Liu heard this, he was full of joy and loved the concubine very much, and although Manager Zhang couldn't do heavy work, Master Liu did not drive him away, but let him be an errand runner.

Steward Zhang is calm and calm, and he has a deep heart for Master Liu, and because of the relationship between the concubines, he became the steward of the Liu family in a few years.

It was at this time that Steward Zhang didn't know what to think, and actually tried to elope with his concubine.

This is an ancient love story on the rotten street, so I naturally don't care about it, but many of the details mentioned in it, such as Master Liu's illness, should be a fish scale, and the acacia flower was not cured, and it may have been cured later through Uncle Taishi.

But what really makes me think about it is why Steward Zhang can't afford to be sick since then, and will he be the one who was borrowed by Master Liu?

Master Liu mentioned that he was an errand runner, but in fact, he did not repay the grace of saving the concubine, but the grace of borrowing longevity?

At this time, the fat aunt next to her hurriedly asked, "Then did they elope successfully?" ”

Aunt smiled: "How can it be successful, if it succeeds, it is impossible for Steward Zhang to be still here, isn't it?" Then the aunt continued.

Steward Zhang and the concubine agreed to elope together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The choice on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is because Qingtan Town has the custom of making lanterns, and that night will wear ancient masks and parade through the streets to pray for blessings, which can be made late.

The two agreed to wear the clothes they wore that day at the cliff, so that they could recognize each other.

The process went smoothly as planned, but in the process of elopement, the concubine suddenly changed her mind, she knew that out of Qingtan Town, Steward Zhang was a waste, he was uneducated, and he couldn't do heavy work, so what could he do for a living when he left here?

Love is sweet, but the reality is bitter.

Love without a material foundation can only be a spring dream, so there is a saying that poor couples mourn everything.

The concubine felt regretful, feeling that this was just a dream, it was time to wake up, and it was impossible for her and Steward Zhang to have a result.

So the two quarreled, and Steward Zhang really loved the concubine deeply, so he proposed to go to the cliff again, hoping that the concubine could find the memories of the past and change her mind again.

The concubine is determined to cut off relations with Steward Zhang. I didn't want to be in the middle of the quarrel, I stumbled and fell off the cliff, this time I was not so lucky, when Steward Zhang found her at the bottom of the cliff, he found that she had been pierced through the chest by a branch and had died.

The down-and-out Steward Zhang returned to Liu's house and confessed everything to Master Liu.

Although Master Liu was resentful, the Liu family was already inseparable from Steward Zhang at this time, and it was only symbolically closed for a period of time, and Steward Zhang continued to do things for Mr. Liu later.

also because Master Liu was merciful and did not blame, so Steward Zhang later did his best.

So much so that many years ago, he once saw a woman on the shore again, and fell in love at first sight, so Master Liu allowed him to seduce the woman and drown, and later there was even a big fight.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and this time Steward Zhang finally met the person he liked, and we were all happy for him.

When I heard this, my heart was full of anger.

Did the concubine really fall off the cliff by herself? I'm not convinced.

And it can be speculated that the so-called aunt a few decades ago, must have referred to 65 years, the flower boat, not a funeral, but a woman on the shore, fortunately, the woman did not fall into the water and drowned, but the person in charge got on the boat by mistake.

And from this incident, I think of Sister Xu Yaru, they quarreled and fell into the water in a car accident, could it be that the water ghosts here are also ghosts?

The whole incident involved a key person - Steward Zhang.

It's a pity that I don't have Song Xuyun's Taoism, otherwise I'll go find Steward Zhang right now, and then use Taoism to read everything about him.

And I have observed the whole tulou, although it is big, but the setting is very regular, at a glance, I heard that they call Master Liu the master, he will most likely not live in this tulou, so where to live?

I asked in a low voice, "Auntie, Master Liu is always mentioned, but I see that in this tulou, the rooms are all about the same, so he won't live here too, right?" ”

The aunt smiled: "You kid is really ignorant, of course the master can't live with us subordinates." ”

"And where does he live?"

The aunt didn't say it explicitly, just said Nunu in one direction.

I looked over and saw that it was the center of the tulou, but there were no buildings, only a circular pool.

I had wondered why a pool was built in the middle of the house when it was clearly underwater.

Now it seems that there is really another world.

I asked tentatively, "Could it be that if you jump in, it's where the master lives?" ”

My aunt was amused by me and giggled, and said, "It's so easy to get in there, only a few of them can get in." The owner is cleaning down below and can't be disturbed. ”

The fat aunt next to her couldn't hold it anymore and said: "I've been in here for decades, and I haven't been in until now, and I haven't seen the master. ”

"Dragon Palace?"

The fat aunt nodded.

We all turned to the aunt, hoping that she would explain to us, and the aunt said softly: "The master was injured decades ago and has been cultivating below, everything is in charge of Steward Zhang, and it is said that the master will be able to become a real dragon king in the future." ”

I laughed at myself in my heart, I really wanted to cultivate and become an immortal in everything.

At this time, I suddenly remembered the sound of the gong.

The aunt stood up excitedly and said, "The good hour is coming, the bride and groom are ready to get married, and I don't know if the master will show up." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the tulou next to him, and a group of people walked out, beating gongs and drums, and was walking in the direction of the new house.

I just thought that the bride had already visited the church in the new house, and I didn't want to wait for the hour.

Moreover, I saw that in this procession, in front of the team was the beating of gongs and drums, and behind it was a man on horseback, and the horse was not a mortal horse, but a myriad of small black fish gathered together to form the shape of a horse.

There was a person sitting immediately, the groom was dressed as an official, but he looked very honest and honest, and it should be the Zhang steward they were referring to.

And next to the horse, there is also a man who leads the horse with water and weeds.

I took a closer look, and hurriedly hid in the crowd around me, because it was Su Xuanke who was leading the horse.
