Chapter 35: Case closed
In the only temporary prison in the town, there is a very beautiful woman.
It turned out that the Japanese and the prisoners who were being held here had already been escorted away.
Qin Tai sat outside, Sima Ling locked inside, and the two of them talked. If it weren't for being in prison, if it weren't for Sima Ling's prison uniform, locked inside, and with an iron general guarding the door, it would really be unimaginable.
Sima Ling didn't wait for Qin Tai to ask anything, so he said it himself: "Actually, I've met you three times. The first time we met outside the cave. The second time I saw you alone against a group of villagers. The third time I sent you the news, I found you alone in a daze. You are a very serious person, but because of your seriousness, you are not destined to be happy in the future. It is difficult for a person who is too serious to live in this hypocritical world. I'm just too true, so I've become a 'Nine Sons and Ghost Mother' who is not a person and a ghost. ”
Qin Tai didn't interrupt Sima Ling's words, and continued to sit and listen.
Sima Ling was already silent in a memories. "When I was a kid, I was with my mom and I lived a hungry life, but we were happy," she said. Later, when my mother got sick, she not only wouldn't let me touch her, but she also ignored me. Later I found out that my mother had been poisoned, a chronic poison. When I was a child, my mother and I left the town and came to live in a place called White Fox Ridge. There is no enmity there, and there is no contempt from everyone. But there was nothing to eat, and only one strange grass could be eaten every day. If you eat too much of this grass, you will hallucinate, and in the hallucination, I will see a father who is very good to me. Soon we returned to the town, and my mother left me at a relative's house and went alone for a long time. When I came back, I brought a serious man, who was my biological father, Sima Ying. My mother told me that my father would take good care of me, give me food and drink, and dress me up beautifully. I went to Sima's house with Sima Ying. But after Sima Ying threw me into a place where a subordinate lived, he didn't care about me anymore. There were many people who bullied me, and they beat me and scolded me every day. It was many years before I found out that my mother had passed away shortly after seeing me off. I didn't understand my mother at the time, why didn't my mother let me go with her, we were born together, we died together. It wasn't until I became a mom that I understood this, and my mom wanted me to live well for her. ”
Sima Ling said again: "I don't know if it's because I suffered too much when I was a child, or because I ate that kind of strange grass." Not only did I have to survive at Sima's house, but I also adapted to life there. Every time I saw everyone's surprised eyes, I realized that I was not useless, at least I was more beautiful than my mother. At that time, there was a fourth lady from Sima's family, and she was also very good-looking. The two of us came together unexpectedly, and I learned that her name was Sakurako. Sakurako was a year older than me, I was sixteen and she was seventeen. Sakurako doesn't understand the rules here, and is often scolded by the eldest lady. I secretly helped Sakurako, who also taught me to read and embroidery, and she also taught me to sing their nursery rhymes. Because we all hated the eldest lady and wanted this old witch to die, so with the help of Sakurako, I went out to Sima's house once. I came to the White Fox Ridge and picked some herbs that were strange at the beginning. When we returned, we mixed herbs with the eldest lady's meal, and soon the eldest lady fell seriously ill. The fourth lady, Sakurako, used her skills to take charge of the Sima family. By chance, Sima Ying knew about me and Sakura. Sima Yingcai paid attention to me for the first time and found that I was very beautiful. I saw a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and it made me very uneasy. I begged Sakurako and helped me find a husband who was the right person. Because of the engagement partner, Sima Ying didn't do anything further, and I was really afraid of Sima Ying at that time. Soon after, my Wending was completed, and the fourth lady, Sakurako, was also pregnant. While taking care of Sakurako, I embroidered flowers and prepared a dowry for myself. Because I learned embroidery much later than other girls, I have to seize the time to embroider and not miss any opportunities. On this day, several Sakurako's mother's family members sent some cherry blossom trees, which are so beautiful. Sakurako says that its flowers are more beautiful. Her parents just liked cherry blossoms, so they named her Sakurako. When she saw that I liked it so much, she asked her family to send me a cherry blossom tree next time. I didn't know at the time that everything had changed because of me. I looked at the cherry blossom trees, but I didn't see their vicious eyes. Soon after, my cherry blossom tree arrived, and I happily planted it outside my room. At this time, Sima Ying was not at Sima's house because of some things. I entertained Sakurako's mother's family, we ate together, and I sang the nursery rhyme that Sakurako taught me. I was so relaxed that day that I didn't notice the safety issues. When I woke up a day later, everything had changed. ”
Qin Tai didn't ask, because this experience was too painful for Sima Ling, as long as he was a normal person, a person with a conscience would not ask such a question.
Sima Ling said: "Everything about me is ruined. I lay alone in bed ready to die, ready to leave with all the grievances and filth. That's when Sakurako came, and Sakurako didn't seem to know everything, but I couldn't trust her anymore. She said she was going to settle accounts for me, but I didn't even know how many of them were involved. I waited for Sakurako for three days, and Sakurako brought back the news. Say they're sorry and hope to make it up to me. But my life is over, what do they use to make up for everything in me? I could already hear Sakurako speaking as best she could for her family. I began to regret knowing this woman, she didn't treat me like a real friend. As long as she really thinks about me, she won't let those beasts go so easily. I chased Sakurako away, and Sakurako put the token I had given her on the table as she left. That's how everything between me and her was broken. I was lying on the hospital bed, wondering whether to tell Sima Ying about it. At this time, Sakurako gave birth to her son, so that her position was more secure. Soon after, the little brother's full moon wine was very lively, and I saw the brutes again in the distance in my room. Not only are they not guilty, but they are also so shameless and lustful. I couldn't help it, I took a kitchen knife and prepared to fight against them, but I didn't expect that not only did I not kill them, but I was beaten by them again. While they beat me, they also said that I was a ****. Back in my room, I hacked down the cherry blossom tree. I decided to take revenge on them, and to deal with them, I must first dispose of Sakurako and her children. I know from them that they are not from the Ming Kingdom, they are Japanese Kou. I will never allow a descendant of the Japanese to grow up in the Sima family. I found the leftover herbs that poisoned the eldest lady and mixed them in Sakurako's meal, I was afraid that the amount of medicine would not be enough and the amount would be increased. Soon Sakurako's son died first, and Sakurako was dying. The time had come for me to take revenge on the brutes, but by then I found out I was pregnant. When Sima Ying was mourned, my joy was very serious. I didn't want this little sinister, but I didn't have time to deal with it, so Sima Ying attacked me. ”
Qin Tai gave Sima Ling a pot of tea, and Sima Ling said while drinking: "That day, because I continued to vomit for several days, I couldn't stand it, and I was very hungry. I thought the food that day was so delicious that I ate all the food. But when I sensed something was wrong, I couldn't move. I didn't know what Sima Ying was going to do to me, so I had to pretend to be dizzy. I saw Sima Ying put me in a coffin, and I saw them nail the coffin to death. I just knew that Sima Ying wanted to bury me alive, and I really didn't expect him to treat my biological daughter like this. When I thought I was going to die, Xue Liang saved me. Xue Liang is a tomb robber, he found my grave and came to rob the tomb. I didn't expect him to dig up any treasure, but he dug me up. After the kind-hearted Xue Liang found out about me, he decided to take me out of town again. In order to feed me and for my safety, Xue Liang gave up tomb robbing. I took Xue Liang to White Fox Ridge, instructed Xue Liang to catch a few foxes, and hid far away after having a sum of money. When I gave birth, I was in pain for a day and a night. The midwife said that I would not be able to have any more children, and I felt sorry for Xue Liang. I really want to give Xue Liang a good life and a child. I feel happiest when I live in the village. But I saw the Japanese who bullied me at the beginning, and Xue Liang went to hunt down and kill the Japanese in order to avenge me. After I came back, I didn't know that Xue Liang had internal injuries on his body, and he died soon after due to internal injuries. I buried Xue Liang and embarked on the path of revenge. I used the skills that Xue Liang taught me to trap and kill the widows. At the same time, he adopted the children who had been abused by the Japanese invaders. Because I have been walking in the mountains for a long time, I have practiced a good light skill, and there are so many children around me, so I give everyone an illusion. They all call me 'Nine Sons and Ghost Mother'. Now all the pirates have been arrested, and my enemies have come to a deserved end. I have only one request, I hope that adults will take good care of my children. Children are the most innocent and they should not bear all the responsibility and suffering. ”
Qin Tai didn't speak, turned around and left. There are a few of them outside the door.
Soon after, the case of "communicating with the Japanese" in the town was cracked, and a large number of Japanese and traitors were arrested. When he came to the town again, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the county magistrate in the county to help the newly appointed magistrate handle official business. Xiao Wang also became a meritorious talent because of this, and suggested that the court reward Tongjin as an official. Although the status of this kind of official will not be very high and he will never be promoted, Xiao Wang's ideal has been realized. After this incident, the Sima family's vitality was greatly damaged, but it was better than the annihilation of the entire army. Sima Ying's family was sentenced to be executed, and even Sima Ba, the third son of the official, did not escape.
When Qin Tai and the others left to come to the town again, they took a young woman and a group of children with them. They are Sima Ling and the children, and Qin Tai exchanged all his credit for a proof that Sima Ling committed suicide in fear of sin. Sima Ling, who had already faked his death and escaped, and the children would go to Shangwang Village, and Qin Tai told them to find Wang Tianbao's blind mother. Since then, Sima Ling has changed back to Wang Ling's name and will live in peace and contentment in Shangwang Village forever. Because she understands the medicinal properties and characteristics of "Thyme", all this is enough for her to feed everyone. Wang Ling and the children never left Shangwang Village. The legend of the "Nine Sons Ghost Mother" has also been legendary, and no one knows that the kind widow Wang Ling next to them is the legendary "Nine Sons Ghost Mother". Their family has two ancestral tablets, one is Xue Liang's, and the other has no name. This is what Qin Tai gave to Sima Ling when he left, no, Wang Ling. Wang Ling has always kept it, and she is grateful from the bottom of her heart to this adult who is younger than herself. Qin Taicai is a good official for the people and the country.
