Chapter 8: The Runaway Bridegroom
When Aunt Liu rushed to the house of Liu Guozhong and Aunt Wang to talk to the media, the two of them gave different reactions.
Liu Guozhong was stunned at first, then shook his head with a wry smile. And Aunt Wang lowered her head shyly at first, and when Aunt Liu mistakenly thought that she agreed, she reached out and grabbed Aunt Liu, and on that pretty face, there was the same bitterness as Liu Guozhong.
No one thought that these two people, who should be in love, actually had each other's difficulties.
Liu Guozhong is worried that Aunt Wang looks down on him, a person in the rivers and lakes, he is used to living a life of wandering, and he has no belongings that he can get his hands on. And Aunt Wang's worries came from Uncle Qingsong.
Similarly, no matter what era it is, the disparity in family background is a problem, although the family background of Aunt Wang and Liu Guozhong is not too different, but with Uncle Qingsong, who is a drag bottle, it is obviously not very popular. In the era of famine, the family can't eat enough, and marrying a woman with a drag oil bottle, who do you think would be happy?
However, Aunt Liu, who is known as the golden signboard of the matchmaker world, how can she be such an easy person to give up. Although the marriage between the two is in trouble, Aunt Liu is not a vegetarian. She had a plan, pretended to sigh inadvertently, and ran to both sides and told each other about their difficulties.
Aunt Wang's reply was like this: "The family belongings are slowly fought for by the husband and wife, how can they all be explained to one man?" Besides, what's wrong with the people in the rivers and lakes, at least the people in the rivers and lakes dare to act and be righteous. ”
And when Aunt Liu told the plight of the old Wang family, Liu Guozhong patted his chest on the spot: "If you can take a good wife like Sister Wang, let alone raise one more, even if you raise a family, I, Liu Guozhong, am willing." ”
After that, Aunt Liu told the other party the answer she obtained, and naturally, this matter was done.
However, the unexpected situation happened three months later.
Three months later, on the day of the big day. Aunt Wang waited at home in a red robe of great joy, and did not see Liu Guozhong until the evening. It wasn't until late afternoon that people from the same village came to tell Aunt Wang. Liu Guozhong's father and son left, leaving without a trace, and even packed up the things at home.
Aunt Wang, who couldn't withstand the blow, burst into tears and fainted on the spot. A few years later, Aunt Wang, who had a bad life, was replaced with leukemia, which could not be treated by technology at that time, and passed away.
Speaking of which, some people may ask, could it be that Liu Guozhong really dislikes Aunt Wang's family background, so he ran away from the wedding on the wedding day?
The mystery of the matter was finally solved after fifteen years, and fifteen years later, on the day of Aunt Wang's sacrifice. A lame man with a strong body and full of vicissitudes of sideburns walked into the Wang family's mansion.
As soon as Uncle Qingsong saw this lame man, he was furious, and rushed forward with his sleeves rolled, and catching this cripple was a severe beating. It turned out that this lame man was Liu Guozhong, who abandoned the bride and fled on the wedding day, and the angry Aunt Wang vomited three liters of blood.
Liu Guozhong didn't fight back, but just let Uncle Qingsong punch and kick him.
After Uncle Qingsong finished venting, he took the stick and prepared to drive this Liu Guozhong out of the door
Who knows, at this time, Liu Guozhong had red eyes, and cried at Uncle Qingsong: "Qingsong, I have a short life, I just hope to come back to see Yi'er in my lifetime, I hope you can fulfill me." Let me be able to look under the nine springs. ”
After speaking, Liu Guozhong actually vomited blood on the spot, and fell backwards.
Uncle Qingsong, who was shocked, supported Liu Guozhong, and after a careful inspection, he found that Liu Guozhong had been poisoned.
At that time, Uncle Qingsong was already a Taoist disciple, and although his ability was not particularly high, as long as he was not a dead Gu, Uncle Qingsong could deal with it.
Not long after Uncle Qingsong applied an acupuncture to wake up Liu Guozhong, Liu Guozhong had red eyes and told the bitterness of the year.
Eighteen years ago, the day before Liu Guozhong and Aunt Wang's wedding. The Liu family was suddenly chased and killed by the enemy. Liu Guozhong was slapped by the other party and fell unconscious, and then escaped from Liujia Village overnight with his father.
When Liu Guozhong woke up, he found himself in a small village he didn't know at all. Liu Guozhong, who was in a coma, immediately set off to go back to the village to find Aunt Wang, but was stopped by his elderly father Liu Hao.
Liu Hao just said a word to Liu Guozhong, and then cut off Liu Guozhong's idea of returning to Liujia Village.
"It's useless, if you go back now, you will only endanger the life of the sister of the Wang family in vain. That group of people is not from the rivers and lakes at all, they are warlocks, and they are not at all something that we ordinary people can deal with. If you go back, it will only harm the Wang family and bury our old Liu family together. ”
After Liu Guozhong heard this, he had no choice but to cut off the idea of going back to find Aunt Wang. And at this time, the enemy suddenly chased and killed, in order to give Liu Guozhong time to escape, Liu Hao chose to sacrifice his life to stop the enemy. And Liu Guozhong was also injured in the thigh by the other party during the fight, but fortunately, he jumped into the river in a hurry, and he was able to save his life.
The injured Liu Guozhong hid in the river, where he finally passed out and was rescued by a kind farmer. Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Guozhong learned of a more serious problem from the mouth of the kind farmer.
The peasant said to Liu Guozhong: "Little brother, I see that there is a black dotted line on the white of your eye, I am afraid that it is planted with those crooked warlocks. ”
Liu Guozhong is also a person in the rivers and lakes, although he doesn't understand Gu, he also knows a little about it. Hearing what the old man said, he carefully checked himself. At this time, Liu Guozhong had to admit the fact that he was not only lame, but also had Gu worms on his body.
That gang of thieves had already calculated, and just in case, they had already placed a trick on the Liu family's father and son. Even if you can't kill them by force, you can control the Gu worms and take their lives.
Later, the life-saving benefactor gave Liu Guozhong a pointer. He said that he would either get rid of the Gu worms or go north. The colder the place, the better, if you have to live in a cold place, the Gu worms in your body will never be able to attack.
So, Liu Guozhong followed the old man's advice and went to the northeast alone. This escape is to stay incognito in a small village in the northeast for more than ten years.
But more than ten years of life did not make Liu Guozhong forget Aunt Wang, on the contrary, Liu Guozhong's heart was always worried about Aunt Wang. Eighteen years later, he finally couldn't stand the inner torment and returned to his hometown.
When Liu Guozhong finished talking about everything with tears, Uncle Qingsong was also embarrassed. Frankly speaking, Uncle Qingsong is not too hateful to Liu Guozhong, on the contrary, Uncle Qingsong has always been grateful to Liu Guozhong when he was a child. Because of Liu Guozhong's existence, he and his sister's life is much better.
What he hated was only to blame Liu Guozhong for throwing down his sister without a sound. So much so that at the moment before his sister died, he didn't see him.
However, when he knew the truth of the matter, Uncle Qingsong's heart also softened.
Uncle Qingsong understands very well that it is not only Aunt Wang who is uncomfortable, Liu Guozhong was forced to leave the person he loves and leave, which is also an unspeakable distress. In the past ten years, Liu Guozhong's life has not been easy.
Therefore, Uncle Qingsong forgave Liu Guozhong in his heart.
Actually, if you say that Liu Guozhong has nothing to do with the Wang family, this is also wrong. Even more than ten years later, Liu Guozhong, who survived, was still stubborn about giving Aunt Wang a name.
The two couldn't be together when they were alive, and even after death, Liu Guozhong still stubbornly wanted to hold a secret marriage with Aunt Wang. He wanted to give Aunt Wang a name, and completed the unfinished work of the two of them back then, which made Aunt Wang have a name below, and she would not be bullied by lonely ghosts at will.
Uncle Qingsong didn't allow it, Liu Guozhong asked someone else to do it, all in all, Liu Guozhong really held a secret marriage ceremony with Aunt Wang, and swore at Aunt Wang's tomb that he would never marry another woman in this life.
After that, Liu Guozhong left the Wang family and began to return to his profession and be a juggler who walked the rivers and lakes. But with the development of the times, juggling has long been out of fashion. By chance, Liu Guozhong established an opera troupe with his outstanding singing and martial arts skills, and often traveled north and south to act for others.
And my trip to Hubei with the fat man this time was entrusted by this Liu class master. Originally, Uncle Qingsong was going to lead the two of us personally. But at this time, the Dharma exchange meeting between the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao was about to begin, and this time Uncle Qingsong was invited by an old friend. In order to fight for the civil legal lineage of the mainland, and improve the problem of civil legal lineage in the inner Hong Kong since ancient times. Uncle Qingsong had no choice but to leave for Hong Kong first and sent the two of us to Hubei.
In addition, after we dealt with Hubei, we had to go to Yichang and Uncle Qingsong for a round. Because when he was about to leave Macau, Uncle Qingsong also received a third entrustment to go to Yichang to build a yin house for an old friend.
So, my schedule and that of the fat man are full. It is estimated that it is impossible to go back to Guangdong to relax in a short period of time. Only after everything is taken care of can we enjoy the mountains and rivers and relax comfortably for a while.
The train moved forward slowly, and with the attendant's words: "Dear passengers, Hubei Hong'an Station has arrived" and the fat man and I finally arrived at the destination.
