Chapter 163: Ma Liu'er's Misfortune
Shui Xingzhou shook his head and sighed: "Naturally, you didn't kill these two people, it was you who communicated with Widow Zhao and forced Widow Li, Widow Li was pregnant, and killed Widow Zhao in anger......
Ma Liu'er's heart rekindled hope, her eyes were shining, and the kind words of flowing water came out: "My lord, you are the master of the blue sky, you are the father of the people, you are the father of our people......
The corners of Shui Xingzhou's eyes were twitched by praise, he pursed his lips, and sneered: "You don't kill these two, but these two people died because of you, and they are still two widows, it's just bad morals, come here, and give this shameless Ma Liu'er to sink into the pond!" ”
Ma Liu'er, who had just ignited the hope of life, was once again like ashes, and was dragged away by two catchers like dead dogs, causing many villagers to applaud at the same time, making Shui Xingzhou's face a little proud.
The villagers hulala all went to see the liveliness of Jiangma Liu'er deep pond.
Shui Xingzhou turned his face to the commander sent by the Nine Princes and said: "Commander Sheng, now that the entire dragon pattern, the source and channel have been clarified, the lower officials will report to the capital in a few days, and I hope that the commander will go back to tell the Nine Princes, so that the Nine Princes can rest easy, and when His Majesty redresses his grievances, he can go to the capital to enjoy his family." ”
Commander Sheng returned the salute with his fists, but his mind was more vigilant than before, this case seemed to be that the emperor wanted to calm things down, and did not want to pursue the fault of the Nine Princes;
But he sent a new prefect, replaced the original confidant of the Nine Princes, and was "rehabilitated" for the Nine Kings in a panic, where is this rehabilitation, and found a group of small insects, small shrimps, crooked melons and inferior dates, not only did not redress the injustice of the Nine Kings, but there was a feeling of deducting pots;
Especially when he is recruited back to Beijing, it looks like a comfort, but it looks like a detention, and there is a feeling of a sharp sword hanging around his neck.
This capital, you can't go! It is better to use the river as the boundary and draw two great Qi countries than to go to the capital!!
Shui Xingzhou and Commander Zai Sheng came in a hurry and left in a hurry, so that the catkins were still confused, and they didn't know how the "protagonist" of the dragon pattern with their lives hanging by a thread became a "dragon set" that the eighteenth line did not pay attention to in a blink of an eye;
I don't know how Widow Li, a weak woman who values her reputation more important than her life, became an unchaste woman who committed suicide in fear of crime in the blink of an eye, or was she a corpse with two lives?
When he returned home, Liu Wu had a sense of luck for the rest of his life, and his mood was extremely heavy, while Liu's face was already pale with fright, and his limbs were stiff, like a dead corpse.
However, Liu Mao was young, he didn't know the danger, and he didn't know that the fate of the entire Liu family was hanging by a thread, but he ran to see the excitement of Shentang.
Liu Mao came back but brought earth-shattering news: Ma Liu'er was tied to a big stone and sank into the pond, and he watched him sink to the bottom before leaving.
All the villagers also thought he was dead, and some of the villagers who were walking behind, in the upstream direction, found a shoe, a man's shoe, and some people said that they saw Ma Liu'er wearing this shoe.
Liu Wu's heart couldn't help but tighten, this Ma Liu'er was really fateful, but fortunately, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to return to the village at will.
Little Stone sat on the threshold, looking at the empty courtyard outside, crying.
Because Widow Li and Zhang Daya both became one of the "main culprits" of the dragon pattern, even the corpses were not spared and were carried away directly.
Although Xiao Shi knew that his mother was dead, he didn't even see the last face of Widow Li's body.
Poor child, Liu Fu sighed, and gave Xiao Shi a bowl of rice and vegetables.
Xiaoshi raised his eyes, looked at the catkins with an unknown meaning, was stunned for a while, snatched the bowl for a long time, and devoured it, like a puppy that protects food, which made the catkins feel sour.
At night, Xiaoshi slept for a while, cried for a while, and couldn't sleep at all.
Liu wanted to sleep with Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi looked like he was biting people, and he could only get close to Liu Wu, Liu Wu thought to himself, maybe this child had a fledgling effect because he fed it, and he was only close to himself.
Liu Fu said helplessly to Liu: "Mother, let Xiaoshi sleep with me." ”
Liu reluctantly agreed, but Yanbei frowned and said, "No, I'll sleep with him." ”
Liu Wu glanced sideways and said, "He's just a doll less than five years old." The subtext speaks for itself.
Yan Bei tried his best to make his face as warm as a spring breeze, and coaxed: "Stone, let's sleep together, whoever falls asleep first, who falls asleep first, and tomorrow my sister will make all the delicious food to ......."
Xiaoshi didn't pay attention to him at all, and hid behind the catkins like a chicken, and his little head timidly looked out from behind the catkins, making people look even more pitiful.
Yan Bei could only stare at his eyes, helpless.
At night, Yan Bei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking that there was a "man" sleeping with catkins in his arms, not to mention how awkward it was.
I was really troubled, so I sat up lightly, opened a gap in the curtain above the wooden partition, and secretly looked at the side where the catkins were sleeping.
Through the faint night light, Yanbei saw the small stone, which was honestly lying on the side of the catkins, not moving.
A pair of eyes, staring straight at the catkins, for a long time, actually pulled out a meaningful smile, in this silent night, in the night when he had just died the only relative, it made people feel terrified to watch.
Yan Bei's heart suddenly tightened, and the lightning thundered and thought that this Li Shi must have known that the Li family went out last night to report the catkins to the official, and now such a look can only show one point, Li Shishi has insight into everything, but because of his young age and being alone, he can't figure it out at all, and he can't afford to live, so he deliberately curried favor with the catkins in exchange for a chance to survive.
At such an age, with such a fox-like mind, how is it different from a demon?
Yan Bei wanted to jump over the wooden partition, so he directly grabbed Li Shishi and twisted his neck.
Yanbei endured it in the end, the scene of the day is vivid, as soon as the stone is weak, the motherhood of the catkins will be great, if there is no evidence, only based on Li Shishi's eyes, it will be concluded that Li Shishi is not good for the catkins, and he will not believe it if he kills the catkins, but it is very likely that Yanbei is too small-bellied and too ruthless, just for an uncertain possibility and careless of people's lives.
Yanbei hates himself too much now, looking forward and backward, hesitating, afraid of wolves and tigers, he has no courage to kill and make decisions, and he is so weak that he is like a frozen autumn pear after melting in winter.
Yan Bei was so angry and annoyed, he looked at Li Shishi with pity, he really didn't like it, and he didn't allow anything beyond his control, this time, it was the same.
Yan Bei stared at Li Shi like a leopard, his eyes were sour, Li Shi still didn't take any action, just looked at the catkins with such dull and complicated eyes, quiet like a pool of stagnant water, making people unable to distinguish the joys, sorrows and sorrows inside.
This kind of look, Yan Bei is too familiar, when he learned that more than 120 lives in Yanhou Mansion were wiped out overnight, he was so stunned, his face was like ashes, his eyes were like a dead pool, as if he had lost his vitality.
At this time, Liu Wu didn't know that he was being stared at by two people, one big and one small, probably because of the things during the day, he was highly nervous, and he couldn't sleep well at night, so he turned around and snored heavily.
Li Shishi's body was touched by the catkins, and the catkins' body was stunned, half-dreaming, half-dreaming, instinctively turned back, took Li Shishi into his arms, patted Li Shishi's back with his palm, and sang softly: "The stone is good, the stone sleeps, my sister is here to accompany you." My sister sings you a nursery rhyme. ”
The voice was soft, purer than the moonlight in the sky, and a warm current suddenly surged in people's hearts.
In the silence of the night, I only heard the catkins singing softly: "My baby baby, give you a little sweetness, let you sleep well tonight......".
Li Shishi was stunned at first, and then his eyes gradually softened, and he nestled into Liu Wu's arms, crying and crying, and his heart was like a seat.
Yan Bei's eyes suddenly sharpened.
This song was sung when he first came to Liu Wu, Liu Wu thought he was sick and fell asleep with him, and now it is still this song, but it is sung to another "man", Yan Bei's heart suddenly became a little sour.
Yan Bei's knees knelt on the hard kang, his palms held the partition, and his eyes were staring at Li Shishi, for fear that Li Shishi would suddenly turn his face, which would be unfavorable to Liu Shi.
This night, I'm afraid that only Yanbei is the only one who can't sleep.
The next morning, when I looked at Yanbei again, my eyes had become "panda eyes", but they were still as sharp as a knife, only staring at Li Shishi;
And Li Shishi's eyes are more sticky than Yanbei, like a little entourage of catkins, follow wherever he goes, so an interesting "threesome" is formed.
After three days like this, when the mood of the stone stabilized, Liu Wu took a trip to the county to see how the business is doing now, and at the same time wanted to explore the dragon pattern, how widely it was involved.
When I arrived at the strange embroidery workshop, because of the profanity incident in the first few days, the current store can almost be described as a door, and during the day, almost no one walked into the store to ask a thing or two.
The sales of the store are not good, but the secret transaction of osmanthus is multiplied and multiplied, and it swells rapidly like a snowball, not only prostitutes, but even the mother-in-law of the noble family, osmanthus has become a hot businessman in Jiangyin County, and there is a momentum of buying more and more forbidden.
Liu Fu looked at Chen Yi who was asleep, scratched her little nose and smiled: "Don't wake up yet?" ”
Chen Yi's jaw slammed on the measuring board suddenly, and he suddenly instinctively shouted, "What does the guest officer want to buy?" ”
Liu Wu laughed and said: "The guest officer has come to see the beauty!" ”
Chen Yi saw that it was catkins at this time, and rolled his eyes in disgust and said, "Just your mouth, ...... you are smiling."
Liu Wu went around behind Chen Yi, wrapped his arms, hugged Chen Yi in his arms, drew circles on Chen Yi's stomach with his fingers, and said dishonestly: "If I am blind, I should be blind to the child in your belly, start first, and recognize the ...... of being a godmother or something."
Chen Yi's face panicked, and he hurriedly reached out to cover Liu Wu's mouth and said urgently: "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't had a live fetus for three months, and I can't say it......"
After speaking, he felt that what he just said, "If you say it, it won't work", it was too unlucky, so he spat twice and slapped himself: "Don't blame the Bodhisattva, forgive the peasant girl for her nonsense, let Xiao Hei be born and grow ......up safely."
Liu Wu's face couldn't help but be happy, it turned out that Chen Yi was really pregnant, but the month was less than three months, and she didn't want to talk about it.
Liu Wu learned from Chen Yi's example, and pretended to bow in the direction of the west, which can be regarded as "accompaniment" to the Bodhisattva.
