Chapter 017: Privet Longan Soup (2)
Although it is plum wine, you can still get drunk when you meet someone who has something on your mind. When Xiao Shengzi knocked on the door, Xing Ruyi was cleaning up the dishes.
Chang Tai was lying on the table, smelling of plum wine, but he didn't know what he was talking about.
"I said that Brother Chang must be here with Ruyi girl, and sure enough, I guessed correctly, I was really there."
"Brother Sheng has always been smart." Xing Ruyi agreed, and pointed to the courtyard: "Well, your eldest brother Chang is there, but he drank too much plum wine and was a little drunk, if it is official business, I am afraid it will not be done." Xiao Shengzi wrinkled his nose and sucked hard,
"Sure enough, it's the fragrance of plum wine, Brother Chang can really drink it. Look at this fragrant one, I'm afraid I'll have to drink two or three bottles, right? ”
"Not only two or three bottles, but all the ones I saved in my early years have been drunk for him." Xing Ruyi shook his head and pointed to the ground by the way,
"You, Brother Chang, really drank my plum wine as water." Xiao Shengzi touched his head and smiled.
"Isn't my eldest brother Chang on his mind? If it weren't for Yan Niang coming out of the cabinet today-yes, Yan Niang, I came to Brother Chang here just for Yan Niang. Xiao Shengzi slapped his head suddenly, walked quickly to Chang Tai's side, and called him loudly.
"Yan Niang! What happened to Yanniang? Xing Ruyi blinked suspiciously: "Isn't she out of the cabinet today?" If you marry far away, you are afraid that you will already be out of Luoyang City at this time, even if you are married closely, you will have already finished worshipping the flower hall at this time, even if your eldest brother Chang has the heart to rob his relatives, it will be too late. ”
"Ruyi girl can really think more." Xiao Shengzi said one after another: "It's a lot more than robbing relatives, someone found Yan Niang's body outside the city, and she was still wrapped in a wedding dress." ”
"Bang!" The dishes in Xing Ruyi's hand fell to the ground, and Chang Tai also stood up in an instant, grabbed Xiao Shengzi and asked, "What did you say?" You just said whose body was found? ”
"Yan ...... Yan Niang. Xiao Shengzi was so frightened by Chang Tai that he stammered: "We also just received a report from the villagers, saying that the fishermen found a female corpse in Luohe outside the city, and she was still wrapped in a wedding dress. No, I haven't even returned to the yamen to report to the eldest master, so I'll come to Miss Ruyi here and tell Brother Chang about it. Chang Tai's face sank, and he didn't say anything more, only let go of his hand and rushed out the door.
Xing Ruyi didn't care about cleaning up, lifted the corner of her skirt, and followed Chang Tai out of the city. After walking a hundred steps away, I saw Yan Niang, dressed in a red and bright wedding dress, standing in the shadow under the willow tree on the street corner.
Seeing Chang Tai running past her, Yan Niang subconsciously stretched out her hand to call him, but found that her hand passed through Chang Tai's body, and the person was stunned for a moment.
After half a ring, he smiled miserably and walked over to Xing Ruyi.
"Can you see me?" Xing Ruyi nodded, the scene just now made her feel a little sad inexplicably.
"Am I dead?" Yan Niang bit her lip and asked, speaking of the dead word, her already pale cheeks turned even whiter.
"Xiao Shengzi said that your body was found outside the city in Luohe, Chang ...... Brother Chang, he just came to see you. ”
"What's so good to see, death is dead, I'd rather he don't see my embarrassed appearance." Yan Niang smiled astringently, and her emaciated shoulders shook with it: "Miss Ruyi, can you tell me where people will go when they die?" ”
"Where do you want to go?" Xing Ruyi did not answer the rhetorical question. In fact, as long as she calculates, she can know what Yan Niang is thinking, but she doesn't want to, it's not as interesting to look at people's hearts as it is to guess people's hearts, just like she never uses the ability to predict people's life and death.
Life and death are sick, wealth is in the sky, the fox said. Yan Niang shook her head,
"I don't know, I just know that I woke up and kept walking towards the city. At first, I felt that my mind was in chaos, but when I saw Brother Chang, I realized that I only came to the city to see him. When I first saw him, I was so happy, I wanted to say to him, I'm not leaving, I'm not going to marry anyone else, I just want to be with him for the rest of my life, whether he will mind my past or not, whether he will care about my past or not. Whether it's a wife, a concubine or a maidservant, I just want to guard her well, from green silk to white hair, until we grow old together. But when my hand passed through his body, I understood that it was too late, and in this life, in this life, in this life, I would never have the opportunity to accompany him again. Ruyi girl, am I not stupid, I didn't fight for it when I could have it, and now I'm dead, but I have the heart to fight for it, but unfortunately, I can't fight. ”
"Marriage is destined, maybe as you said, you and Brother Chang are destined to be inseparable in this life." Yan Niang covered her mouth and nose lightly, if the ghost also has tears, she is afraid that she has already burst into tears at this moment.
"Miss Ruyi, help me tell Brother Chang that Yanniang is very happy to meet him. If there is an afterlife, Yan Niang must be good, obedient, and only be his own lady. ”
"Don't worry, I'll tell her." Xing Ruyi nodded, and Yan Niang's body shook and became a phantom.
"Yan Niang, wait, you haven't told me who killed you."
"It doesn't matter, people die like lights go out, what does it matter who harms and who is killed." Yan Niang was as bright as a flower, and Ying Ying smiled: "Help me take care of Brother Chang and tell him that Yan Niang will definitely marry him in the next life." After saying that, the phantom disappeared in a flicker.
Xing Ruyi let out a long sigh, still lifted the corners of his skirt, and ran out of the city. On the river beach, the crowd of onlookers had already been driven to the periphery, and the officials formed a loose circle, and in the circle was Chang Tai, who was holding the body of Yan Niang.
Seeing that it was Xing Ruyi, those officials did not stop it, and let her in.
"Ruyi girl, you better persuade Brother Chang, after all, people can't be resurrected after death." Xiao Shengzi approached Xing Ruyi and whispered, and it could be seen that because of Chang Tai's matter, his group of brothers were also sad.
Xing Ruyi signaled Xiao Shengzi to rest assured, walked to Chang Tai's side, and squatted down gently: "Brother Chang, you see that Yanniang's body is wet, it must be uncomfortable to dress like this." Why don't we go home and change her clothes? Chang Tai didn't speak, only picked up the body of the wet Yanniang and walked towards the city.
"Ruyi girl, this-" Xiao Shengzi followed, with a look of helplessness and eagerness.
"Shhh, let Brother Chang stay alone with Yanniang for a while." Xing Ruyi grabbed Xiao Shengzi and asked him not to disturb Chang Tai: "Don't worry, your eldest brother Chang is a real man, give him some time, and he will know what to do." ”
