Chapter 233: Broken into two pieces
Mingyue walked out of the courtyard with a blank expression, as if she came and went in such a hurry.
Li Shan ran two steps tightly, and followed Mingyue with a worried face, for fear that she would make a mistake.
Cheng Hongluo slumped on the chair all of a sudden, and sweat oozed all over his body again, different from the previous hot sweat, but this time it was because of the shock and urgency, the layers of cold sweat oozing out, and the teeth were also shivering, perhaps, this time, the county master was really infected with the cold, looking at the medicine that Li Shan gave Li Chengyue on the table for the second time, Cheng Hongluo took it and drank it again.
sighed as if he was drunk, he was still a layman, Wei Zhixing had warned himself to keep silent before leaving, he still told Mingyue in the end, contrary to his insistence on being an official for many years, the only guarantee he made was that he said it at this time, not just because of his relationship with the Liu family.
When she arrived at the door of Zhenwei Fang, Mingyue was so hesitant that she refused to enter, what was she doing now? What do you want to ask? Didn't Luo Ping say it last time? Wei Zhixing not only lived well, but also braved the disapproval of the world, stirred up the king and the princess to separate, and let the king eat a big turtle.
The most beautiful is when he was a teenager, the most in love with a bamboo horse, he has waited for Carina Lau for so many years, experienced so many things, and finally got together, shouldn't it be the most beautiful ending?
As long as he is alive and well; Everything else seems to be no longer important.
Mingyue turned back firmly, and gradually moved away from Zhenwei Fang, Li Shan followed silently, like a shadow, looking at the back of the girl in front of her, unusually straight, in front of the invisible, tears were already blurred.
Some people, once they miss it, don't come back. At that moment, she should not have lost her trust in him, and accused him of killing innocents indiscriminately, so that he would be victimized by her so-called "innocent"; At that moment, she shouldn't have let go of his hand and let him die and leave, but time was no longer there, and the person was no longer there.
If there was an if, she would never let go of his hand again; It's a pity that everything, no ifs.
When she returned home, Mingyue's eyes were swollen into peaches from crying, and the tears that flowed out were like water droplets in the Dead Sea, raw salty, dripping on the back of her cheeks and hands, burning her skin and making her feel painful.
His throat was also burned by fire, and he couldn't even make a sound, and he fell to the ground, his eyes staring straight at the beams, as if he had been drained of three souls and seven spirits.
Liu's heart was sour, and she blamed herself even more for letting Mingyue work, and she contracted the wind and cold after only buying steamed buns, which further enlivened her mind of remarrying and changing her life situation.
On the second day, Liu's early morning went to the mountain, not accompanied by Song'er, but a single shadow, when he came back from the grave, Liu's eyes were red, his face was pale and white, he bit his lower lip tightly, he was silent and did not say a word, his expression was a little lonely, and it seemed to imply infinite anxiety.
Liu touched Mingyue's forehead, saw that the burning on his forehead had subsided a little, opened his mouth to say something, and saw his daughter's unhappy appearance, swallowed back the words in his mouth, sighed lightly and turned to the room, and made porridge for Mingyue.
Afraid that Mingyue would have a fever again at night, Liu settled Mingyue in his room, and watched Mingyue fall asleep before he closed his clothes and lay down, but his eyes were wide open, staring at the dark window, and the fear in his heart slowly swept in, seeping into every pore, and the back of his neck was full of tigers.
Liu shrank his head and face into the quilt, his hands and feet were stiff, and he didn't dare to move, and after a while, he was covered in sweat and couldn't breathe.
Liu carefully lifted the corner of the quilt, peeping at the window, a black shadow floated by the window, a big hand tore the shadow in two, and the two "half" shadows trembled violently, like a fish that had been thrown into the stomach, and a rooster whose head had been cut off, making a senseless and humble last struggle, and then it was silent, and everything fell silent.
Liu was so frightened that he wanted to scream, remembering that his daughter was by his side, and he didn't want his sick daughter to worry, so he covered his mouth tightly with his hands, refusing to make a sound, but his tears were like water in a pond, full of water and flowing silently.
I don't know how long it took, Liu finally fell asleep in shock and fear, and when he collapsed the next morning, his face had turned yellow, as sick and listless as the bright moon.
Song Jiaojiao couldn't help but scolded: "Sister-in-law, you must have been infected by Mingyue, so I'll accompany Mingyue at night." ”
Liu shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Your body is not strong, so I'll take care of it." ”
That night and the next night was the same, the black shadow came as scheduled, and the shadows were too many, repeating the same picture of being torn to death, causing Liu to sink his eyes deep in two days.
Liu knelt on the kang with courage, kowtowed frequently to the black shadow, and said in a trembling voice: "Yue'er and his father, are you blaming me?" In the past seven years since you left, I have been in a decent manner, and I dare not exceed it at all, and the babies have suffered a lot with me, and they have suffered a lot from being tired, and they have been bullied everywhere. Especially Yue'er, this year has been too bitter, and she was almost taken by the king of Hades several times. That's why I moved the idea of remarrying and drinking a well water, I want the babies to live a good life, if you are annoyed by this, I won't remarry, and keep a few babies to live a good life......"
Liu, who had been suppressed for three days, finally couldn't bear it anymore, was sad and sad, couldn't help himself, and cried out loud.
Although Mingyue's body is not very good, it is much lighter than the previous two days, in the middle of the night I heard someone crying suppressedly, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Liu wiping her tears and crying, the originally plump and beautiful little widow, after two days and three nights of tossing, her face was like an eggplant that had lost its moisture, and her eyes were like pearls that had lost its luster, and she was several years old at once, and she was much more depressed.
Mingyue sat up with her body propped up, took Liu's hand, and said suspiciously: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Having a nightmare? ”
Liu, who had been at the bottom for a few days, finally couldn't stand it, and cried bitterly, and said vaguely in his mouth: "Yue'er, my mother is wrong, my mother shouldn't have moved the mind of remarrying, so that your father will not be at peace in the underworld, and let yourself be punished by the knife after death." ”
Mingyue hugged Liu tightly and patted Liu's back, until Liu cried like a little baby and gradually calmed down, Mingyue asked Liu what happened.
It's simple to say, it's complicated to say it's complicated.
Liu went to the grave of Yin You the day before yesterday, the grave is not far from the foot of his own mountain, he went back to the grave, and met Uncle Niu's daughter-in-law to dig bamboo shoots, this Uncle Niu is a straightforward and fast-hearted, and a warm-hearted person, seeing that there is no one left and right at the foot of the mountain, he said to Liu seriously: "Sister, I heard what my family said, saying that you are afraid that you are afraid of remarrying." You have to take it easy, the people in the old house are not vegetarians; Besides, a good woman doesn't marry a second husband, this is in the underworld, two men are going to fight for a daughter-in-law, and the prince of Yama is not easy to judge, and in the end, the woman is divided into two pieces from the middle, one point cannot be more, one point cannot be less, but it is scary. ”
Aunt Niu said it vividly, with infinite pain on her face, as if she had experienced it herself.
It is not difficult for this Aunt Niu to guess the remarriage of the Liu family, after all, every time Sanfang enters the city, he uses Niu Bo's ox cart, and some information flaws will inevitably be revealed in the gossip. Over time, Uncle Niu also had first-hand information, and that day Uncle Niu saw Liu's face with spring, like resentment, and finally made up his mind to go to Yin You's grave, and Uncle Niu vaguely guessed Liu's intention to remarry.
Uncle Niu knew this first-hand news, and Aunt Niu naturally knew about it, and she actually ran to Liu's to tell these things that a terrifying person had heard.
Mingyue patted Liu's back, so that Liu got some comfort, and the nerves that had been crumbling relaxed a lot, lying in Mingyue's arms like a baby, and gradually fell asleep.
Mingyue stared at the window, the white window paper, because it was illuminated by the moonlight, glowed with a miserable white moonlight, but the black shadow never appeared again.
Mingyue couldn't help frowning, thinking about the strangeness of things with lightning flashing in her head, and the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became.
The argument that Liu listened to about "the widow remarrying was huge", if it came out of the mouth of a passionate and spicy woman, Mingyue would not be so suspicious, but this person was Aunt Niu.
Sanfang often hires Niu Bo's ox cart in the county, in addition, the two families have almost no special friendship, because the family raises a New Year's car, Aunt Niu's temperament is very sleek, not to say a wrong word, are all beautiful words on the surface, but this time it is alarmist to listen to the surface of persuasion, in fact, it warns Liu's words, which must be a little greasy.
There is also the black shadow on this window, if it is really "Yin You's manifestation", Mingyue is very unbelievable, first, she does not believe in gods and ghosts, and second, even if there are really ghosts, they should have appeared when Liu and Han Lin were engaged, why wait until now.
Mingyue had to continue to think about it, but her head was already groggy, her body was sore, and she felt that her legs and feet had nowhere to put them.
Sure enough, if people are not in good spirits, they will be bullied even when they are sick.
Mingyue didn't think about it anymore, Cheng Hongluo was an old fox, Wei Zhixing's poisoning had been hidden from him for so long, which made him have a lot of resentment and anger against Wei Zhixing, since he wanted to marry Liu, he couldn't let him get it for nothing.
At night, Liu, Song Jiaojiao and several children were all placed in one place, that is, in the adobe house where Xiaocui lived, and Wei Lai guarded it in the dark, so as not to jump off the wall and hurt everyone.
After dark, a group of officials lay in ambush around the bluestone house, holding the hilt of their knives, holding their breath, just waiting for the thief to appear and capture him alive.
The moon in the sky rose slowly, sprinkling endless clear light, shining on the ground miserably white, the shadows of the walls and trees left mottled shadows on the ground, but the windows were still cold and silvery.
While everyone was waiting anxiously for the thief, the black shadow had already arrived as scheduled, performing its pain of being torn apart from the window like a shadow puppet.
Cheng Hong was slightly surprised, and was busy searching for the officials, but inevitably there was some movement, the black shadow stopped abruptly, and everything fell silent again.
Cheng Hong was slightly angry, and personally led people to search around, especially in the yard and on the roof, almost not an inch of land, but there was still no trace of him.
Mingyue pushed open the window where the dark shadow appeared, and sarcastically said to Cheng Daren, who was as anxious as a fly: "The so-called concern is chaos, I finally know that you treat my mother sincerely." How could there be thieves hiding in this courtyard? No matter how smart your ears and nose are, can you have the spirit of my dog? Therefore the man must not be in the court. The shadow left on the window, although clear, is not as heavy as yesterday, indicating that this shadow is affected by the moonlight, the first few days are the full moon, and the two days have begun to set the first quarter of the moon, and the moonlight is not as bright as the full moon. Also, this person is scary only with a shadow and no sound, which means that although it is not far from my house, it is not a short distance between them, and it will definitely be in a high place. ”
Instructed by Mingyue, Cheng Hongluo's fox brain finally returned, only swept around, and then stared at the big banyan tree on the side of the road on the right side of the courtyard, and gathered people to quickly surround the banyan tree.
