Chapter 14: The Line Between Life and Death
A hint of pity flashed on the sparrow's face, and he was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "Xiaoliu kneels at the gate of the village." ”
Chen Nian suddenly stood up when she heard the "poof", almost knocking over the table, and was so frightened that Lingque hurried to help her. Even Lu Xiao, who was sitting opposite, was puzzled by Chen Nian's impatience and asked, "What's wrong." ”
Chen Nian's face was already pale, and he was even more colorless at the moment, and said, "Xiaoliu can't stay there. ”
Wen Fengming is different from Zhang Kuisu, although Zhang Kuisu caused the defeat of Qingfeng Village, but after all, he did it unintentionally, but Wen Fengming deliberately betrayed those innocent family members in the village, and was even more hated. Jiang Yingchen and the others can look at Xiaoliu rationally, but those villagers who have died in the family cannot, Xiaoliu must not appear in front of everyone at this moment.
Chen Nian looked at Lu Xiao and said urgently, "You come with me." After speaking, he walked out of the house quickly, Lu Xiao had no choice but to drop the food in his hand, get up and follow her out.
The two rushed to the gate of the village, and saw Xiao Liu kneeling beside the wooden pole hanging Wen Fengming's head with heavy filial piety, and there were many people gathered around the village, and there was already a hot temperament who wanted to come forward to seek revenge on Xiao Liu, thanks to Ye Xiaoqi who was dead in front of Xiao Liu, so no one hurt her for a while.
Chen Nian stopped at his feet, and hurriedly turned around and said to the spirit bird chasing behind: "Please go and invite Jiang Da Master, call over and restrain everyone, don't have any more troubles." ”
Now it's just the beginning, many people haven't reacted yet, when everyone knows the truth, the angry villagers are likely to transfer their hatred of Wen Fengming to Xiaoliu, on the night of August 15, they even have to besiege Zhang Kuisu, Mo said that now a weak Xiaoliu.
The sparrow was a clever girl, and immediately understood Chennian's worries, so she hurriedly turned around and ran towards the village. Chen Nian stood in place and walked forward slowly. Her status in the village was quite high before, and now she has helped the village find out the traitor, and everyone respects her a little more. As soon as she appeared, the crowd fell silent.
Chen Nian walked straight to Xiao Liu and Ye Xiaoqi, Xiao Liu was still kneeling with his head hanging like a wooden man, unaware of everything around him, but Ye Xiaoqi raised his head and glanced at Chen Nian, alienated with indifference. That look pierced Chen Nian's heart, his body shook unconsciously, and the words that came to his mouth were no longer able to speak.
She closed her eyes for a moment, then slowly turned around and stood silently beside the two of them. When everyone was surprised by her actions, Jiang Yingchen hurried over with someone, greeted Chen Nian first, and asked Xiaoliu urgently: "You girl, what are you doing kneeling here." ”
Xiao Liu looked up at him slowly, and his sloppy gaze fell on Jiang Yingchen's face for a while, and he replied, "He is my father, I have to collect his body." ”
Her voice was so hoarse that it was only a little bit of a sound that could be made by the air current. Ye Xiaoqi was heartbroken when he heard this, bent down and kowtowed to Jiang Yingchen, and begged: "Big boss, please let Xiaoliu kneel here, no matter what, that is her biological father, she is really uncomfortable in her heart?"
He choked in his throat in the middle of his words, but everyone knew what he had not been able to say. Xiaoliu is Wen Fengming's biological daughter, but she came forward to deceive Wen Fengming, although she has fulfilled the righteousness, but after all, she has lost her filial piety, and now I am afraid that no one will be more tormented than her heart.
Jiang Yingchen was embarrassed, turned his head to look at Chen Nian, and asked, "This matter??"
Chen Nian thought for a while, and replied in a dumb voice: "Big boss, just follow them." ”
Jiang Yingchen sighed, ordered someone to disperse the onlookers, and left a few good cronies to guard the gate of the village in case something happened to Xiaoliu, and then left. Even so, Chen Nian still didn't dare to rest assured, and stayed nearby with Lu Xiao. With Jiang Yingchen's strict order in front, and Chen Nian and Lu Xiao on the side to deter, no villager dared to come over to seek revenge on Xiaoliu, but no matter who passed by the gate, they had to spit on Wen Fengming's corpse.
Ye Xiaoqi knelt with Xiao Liu and held her tightly, whenever someone came over with phlegm, he leaned over and covered Xiao Liu into his arms to block the thick phlegm for her.
Xiaoliu knelt at the gate of the village for three days, Ye Xiaoqi accompanied her for three days, and Chen Nian also guarded them in the distance for three days and nights.
She had a broken arm and a sprained arm, and her daily life was already inconvenient, but thanks to the sparrow by her side, she could barely survive these three days. Even so, I was already physically and mentally exhausted when I stayed in the next year. When a person's body is weak, his will will inevitably be weak, and he can't help but waver in his beliefs, and asked Lu Xiao, who was sitting against her, in a low voice, "Did I do something wrong." I shouldn't have forced Xiao Liu to come and test Wen Fengming. Does she hate me now? ”
If it were Feng Junyang, listening to Chen Nian ask himself like this at this moment, he would definitely answer her with a smile: "No, you're right, you're doing it right." ”
But sitting behind her at the moment was Lu Xiao, who was silent for a moment and replied honestly: "I don't know." ”
On the fourth day, Wen Fengming's head and body were put down, and Xiaoliuren was too weak to stand up, but he still crawled up to collect his father's body and buried it on an unknown hill next to Qingfeng Village, far away from the back mountain where Qingfeng Village's family was buried.
After burying his father, Xiao Liu knelt in front of the grave for a long time, and suddenly whispered to Ye Xiaoqi beside him: "You go and tell Chen Nian that I have never complained about her." ”
Because he was afraid that something would happen to Ye Xiaoqi and Xiaoliu, Chen Nian took Lu Xiao to follow them from afar. Ye Xiaoqi glanced back at Chen Nian in the distance, and said softly to Xiaoliu: "No, it doesn't matter to her if you don't say this." ”
Xiao Liu raised his eyes to look at him, and said slowly: "No, you don't know Chen Nian's temperament, the three of us, she looks the most powerful on weekdays, but she has the softest heart." Go talk to her, or she'll be guilty of me all the time. ”
Ye Xiaoqi pursed his lips, turned around and walked towards Chen Nian, and said coldly: "Xiaoliu said that she didn't blame you. ”
Chen Nian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Xiaoliu unconsciously, but he didn't want to see her slam her head into the tombstone. Chen Nian's body stiffened, and he opened his mouth to shout, but he couldn't make a sound. Ye Xiaoqi saw that Chen Nian's complexion changed suddenly, and he hurriedly turned around to look, and his soul was already scattered at a glance.
Among the three, it was Lu Xiao who rushed over first, but he was still able to stop Xiao Yanagi.
Ye Xiaoqi rushed over, hugged Xiaoliu into his arms with trembling hands, and cried and called her: "Xiaoliu, Xiaoliu." Don't scare me, hurry up and open your eyes to see me, you agreed that I want to go with me, you can't talk and don't count, you said you want to marry me??"
"Little Seven?? Brother, am I really?? I can't hold it anymore, I'm too tired. Koyanagi smiled sadly, and his words were no longer complete. Her father did something like that, and she still had the face to live in this world. She couldn't live anymore, the seven hundred and twenty-six lives on her back were too heavy, and she was already exhausted after only carrying it for three days. “?? Other?? Bury me here and you take me away??" Xiao Liu laboriously reached out to stroke Ye Xiaoqi's face, but his hand fell down halfway.
Chen Nian's soul seemed to have been suddenly drained away, and he walked to Xiaoyanagi with his legs and feet stiff, lowered his head and looked at her in a daze. After a few days of torment, she was already so thin that she was out of shape, her clothes were full of dirt, and blood kept pouring out of the wound on her forehead. This is Koyanagi, this is the one who loves to be beautiful the most, the Koyanagi who can't even go out in the summer for fear of being tanned.
Ye Xiaoqi cried for a long time, raised his head to look at Chen Nian, and asked her in a dumb voice: "Now you are satisfied." She's finally been forced to death by you, and you're satisfied. ”
Chen Nian also wanted to cry with him, but there were so many things pressing on his heart, and he only felt that his heart was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, but he couldn't even cry.
Ye Xiaoqi stared at her deadly, and asked her again, "Aren't you already gone?" Why come back. Before Qingfeng Village was broken, why didn't you come back. When everyone was chased by the Xue brothers and had no way out, why didn't you come back. Why don't you come back when so many people died at the hands of officers and soldiers. What are you going to do when you come back now? Whether it's to show your cunning and calculation, or do you want to be the hero who came back from the dead and turned the tide. ”
Ye Xiaoqi asked her one by one, but she couldn't answer a word, she could only look at Ye Xiaoqi in a daze, watching his originally profound eyebrows gradually blur, and people became farther and closer. In the exclamation of the sparrow, she only felt a lot more fishy sweetness, and the whole person fell uncontrollably towards the ground, and before she could land, the person had already sunk into the darkness first.
This time is different from the past, the consciousness did not fall asleep in the dark, but continued to sink and struggle, the body was hot and cold, but the sweat wet the clothes over and over again. She kept switching between several scenes, first her father-in-law turned away indifferently, refusing to stop no matter how much she called. She was panicking, Ace suddenly walked up to her, smiled and told her that he was about to marry Yunsheng, she was sad and angry, and asked him why he lied to himself, but he smiled and did not answer, and only walked away from her step by step. The person in front of him was replaced by Ye Xiaoqi again, and he asked her one by one: Why did you come back, why did you force Xiaoliu to death? ?
She was terrified and weeping, when someone gently lifted her up. She fell into a soft and warm embrace, it was Koyanagi, this must be Koyanagi. She got into trouble again and was punished by her father-in-law, and Koyanagi secretly brought her food and fed it spoonful-by-spoon into her mouth.
But somehow, Xiaoyanagi suddenly got impatient, broke her mouth hard, and poured it directly into her mouth with a bowl?? In a daze, she heard someone shouting fiercely in her ear: "Xie Chennian, don't be so sick and crooked, you give me life." ”
She wanted to open her eyes to see who the person was speaking, but the eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift them even if she tried all her strength. She heard someone say again: "Xie Chennian, you didn't do anything wrong, Wen Ruoliu didn't die because of you, it was Wen Fengming who killed her, and she couldn't live because she wasn't strong enough." ”
But Chennian thought how could he be right, Xiaoliu has never been a strong person, she already knew, why did she know it clearly, and she still forced Xiaoliu to do such a thing. Wen Fengming is Xiaoliu's father, how can the two of them be able to distinguish clearly. She forced Xiaoyanagi to expose her father, how could she do such a ruthless thing.
Ye Xiaoqi is right, she herself has no father and no mother, so she also feels that others are also fatherless and motherless, she herself never knows what parental kindness is, so she also thinks that others have no parental kindness.
Wen Fengming is good or bad, what does it have to do with her. Didn't she already abandon Qingfeng Village, why did she come back. When so many people died, she never came back to save them. Now that she was fine, she came back, and more people died.
What did she come back for? For the so-called "righteousness" word. But when she knew that Zhang Kuisu was going to take Qingfeng Village to take risks, and knew that the cottage would face annihilation, but she left Qingfeng Village and left with Feng Junyang, where was the word "righteousness" in her heart.
She really shouldn't have come back. Perhaps, she didn't deserve to live.
She should die in the Flying Dragon with Aunt Yan and them, so that she will not be entangled with Feng Junyang, will not be coaxed by him, will not be indifferent to watching the cottage being exterminated, and will not be obviously by Feng Junyang's side, but let him kill Qingfeng Village, and will not harm Xiaoliu's blood and splash the stone tablet.
She shouldn't have lived, she shouldn't have lived in this world a long time ago. Chen Nian's body stiffened suddenly, beads of sweat the size of beans kept coming out of his pale forehead, but his teeth were getting tighter and tighter.
In Shengdu City, Feng Junyang woke up suddenly in his sleep, sat up from the bed sweaty, and waited for a long time to calm down the palpitations in his heart, and asked the little man who was keeping vigil outside in a dumb voice: "What time is it?" ”
The little guy had already heard Feng Junyang wake up, but he didn't dare to step forward without his call, and now he heard him ask, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the world, it's been three minutes of ugliness." ”
Feng Junyang was silent for a moment and ordered: "Go and find Shunping." ”
The little guy hurriedly took the order, and in a moment he found Shunping, who was sleeping for the second half of his life. Shunping saw that Feng Junyang was looking for himself at this time, just thinking that there was something important, and he hurriedly entered the house before he even tied his clothes, and asked Feng Junyang: "Shiziye, what's the matter." ”
Feng Junyang, who was in the bed tent, didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said lightly: "It's okay, you go down." ”
Shunping couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly called him over in the middle of the night, but it was all right. Then why call him over? He was stunned like this, and his reaction was inevitably slower. Feng Junyang looked at him and didn't move, so he ordered again: "Send a letter to Qiu San and ask about the current situation in Qingzhou." ”
Shunping was even more puzzled in his heart, secretly saying that the court had just issued a holy decree to appoint Xue Shengying as the city guard of Qingzhou, and Xue Shengying was only happy when he got the letter, what could happen. The prince is not worried about Jingyang, but I heard that Jingyang is still the same, and although the current Zhang family advocates that Huaimin has been secretly mobilizing troops, he has not officially sent troops to Qingzhou.
He was still puzzled when he went out here, and secretly sighed that the mind of the prince was really getting harder and harder to guess, and the third watch called him over in the middle of the night, just to send a letter to Qiu San.
