Chapter 6: Regret
Qiuyu, this kid, came when he came, left, left, I felt that he came, but it didn't seem to come.
Autumn is real.
It was the next day.
I slowly went out the door, afraid to break open the wound. When I came out of the hut, I saw Qiu Yue standing behind the door.
If it were you, wouldn't you have to be scared?
Standing without speaking, he still carried a thorn on his back.
yes, he has come to me to plead guilty.
But not shirtless.
I sneered and said, "Brother Qiu, why didn't you say anything when you came, it scared me."
When he came over, he was about to kneel, and I reached out to help him, but the wound hurt.
He knelt down, handed me a piece of wood, and told me to hit him.
Brother Qiu, what are you doing here?
Brother Qiu is a scoundrel, not a human, but Xiaoyu is not like me, he is a filial child, you can teach me as much as you want, but please don't refuse to adopt him. You fight.
Again.
I thought he had given up.
I said: I am a wanted criminal now, and I have not yet proved my innocence, please send me back to my cell, I believe that Lord Lu will definitely enforce the law impartially and find out the facts, you saved me, but you actually harmed me.
If I had known what was going to happen next, I would have climbed back instead of coveting the silence and freedom here.
Greed comes at a heavy price.
I saved you, just to ask you to adopt Xiaoyu, and you actually asked me to send you back?
I got angry and said in a deep voice: I didn't ask you to save me.
He glared at me.
From the very beginning, it was you who saved me, not me begging you, and I always remember your kindness to me, I helped you wash your clothes for a year, cook for a year, these sixteen years, I have always remembered you, what else do you want, I give you my life?
Xiaoguan.
Don't call me that!
That year, that's how he called me, sometimes calling me Sister Xiaoguan.
Okay, Wen Guan, I didn't want you to repay, I just regretted it, why, I didn't stop you when you went home.
You can't stop me.
I regret it, I didn't try at all, I didn't say anything.
You get up and speak, and the neighborhood sees.
He means that he is a scoundrel in the end, and he must let me adopt Xiaoyu, otherwise everyone will not be able to kneel when they come.
Everyone is busy supporting their families, so how can they have time to meddle in their affairs.
Then you're on your knees!
I still slowly returned to the room, poured water to drink, and helped Zhang Zhenzhen wrap the thread, she wanted to weave clothes for Rui Rui and Xiaoyu.
I don't know when Qiu Yue left, maybe you guess, he was taken home by Qiu Yu, and he might have quarreled a few words, but I didn't hear anything.
I don't know when Zhang Zhenzhen will come back, it was noon when Rui Rui came back from the school crying and shouting that Zhang Zhenzhen would avenge her and wake me up.
Rui Rui was bullied in the school and was robbed of the brush, she couldn't grab it, and threw off her face with ink.
I was in the room, probably hearing this meaning, but I didn't hear Zhang Zhenzhen lose her temper, you are the same as me, watching Zhang Zhenzhen talk to Rui Rui gently, help her wash her face, change her clothes, and didn't say a word to help Rui Rui get angry during the whole process, it seems that Rui Rui threw off her own ink.
Is it because Zhang Zhenzhen doesn't want to offend people, or Rui Rui often has conflicts with others, so she doesn't care.
I slowly moved out of the room, intending to ask Zhang Zhenzhen what was going on.
The child was forgetful, changed into a new clothes, held a beautiful mirror, and did not remember that his brush was taken away.
Aunt Guan, is it good-looking?
I tease her: do you ask about people, or do you ask about clothes?
She replied: "Both."
People rely on clothes, and clothes must be worn by a little beauty like Rui Rui to shine. Rui Rui is like a mother, your mother is a great beauty!
But they all said I looked like my father.
Zhang Zhenzhen: There's nothing to mention what he's doing!
I said the same thing, but he said that his mother said that my father and I were carved out of the same mold, and they wanted to snatch my brush portrait.
That's exactly what happened.
I said: It's like it, why is it so atmospheric.
Rui Rui: He doesn't want me and my mother anymore!
I was shocked.
said that he was helping his mother's family work, but it was not.
This mother and daughter are beautiful and sensible, why don't you say you don't want it.
With such a good wife and a daughter like a fairy, what more could a husband ask for.
I want a different face.
I was even more shocked that an eight-year-old child actually had this kind of thought, how much he didn't like his father.
Ever since my father took a concubine, I've had a lot of opinions about him, but not to the point where I get angry when I look like him.
Yes, as you can imagine, we are not in the same situation, so there is no way to empathize, just like you, listening to me, you can't understand me.
I don't want to look like him, he has no conscience, I want to be like a mother.
I said, "You look like your mother."
Liar, only ears like.
I smiled and said: "The temperament and personality are similar." A daughter is like a mother, she can't look at her appearance, she can't look at herself. The body is skinny, and we have no choice, so we try to make ourselves different and get out of his shadow.
You say, can an eight-year-old understand?
That's right, you can see Rui Rui's hand stirring behind her back, and you can also see three big question marks on her brain.
I didn't explain what I meant, because I knew she had a track record that would make her understand.
Whoever tells you this in the future, you tell him sternly that you are not allowed to discuss you and your father, and that you are not qualified.
I know. Rui Rui moved a chair over, Aunt Guan, you are tired of standing, sit.
Rui Rui is really sensible.
Based on Rui Rui's appearance, his father should be a very handsome man, handsome people are always amorous, worthy of anyone, but sorry for his wife.
I didn't want to reveal the scars, but Zhang Zhenzhen told me about Rui Rui's father.
She rediscovered my miswound threads, skillfully and easily using the loom, crisscrossing the linen as if you, me, and each of us were in life.
He thinks that I have given birth to a daughter, and I refuse to give birth to him again, nor do I agree with him to take a concubine, and he marries me or I ask for a bride price, and the other one has to drink the northwest wind.
Then why did you leave?
I guess it was the girl of the rich and powerful family, or the discerning official and the rich old lady, in short, the poor boy became a rich son-in-law.
But!
You see Zhang Zhenzhen's tears coming out of her eyes, and I hear her sobbing.
She cried.
yes, who doesn't cry when they think about it.
But no, not what I thought it would be.
We had a big quarrel that day, it was raining heavily, he begged me to give him a son in the rain, I just didn't agree, how did he know how painful it was to give birth, I scolded him for having no conscience, I pushed him, beat him, he hugged me and cried, as if I didn't give him a son is heinous, he cried so aggrieved, I was still indifferent, men can't get used to it, and they can't change it for a lifetime.
That's right, I've never been used to landing on Lu Shang.
But I regret it, I regret it, I can't give birth now if I want to, so he just left, silently, leaving me and the child I just remembered. On that rainy night, our family of three dried up our tears.
I didn't get it, did you get it?
Let's listen to Zhang Zhenzhen continue.
He is gone, never to come back, the Hua family is dead, Rui Rui and I were kicked out, it was my husband who saved us.
What!
Are you just as incredible as I am?
Fortunately, I didn't ask who I was going to.
I didn't know what to say for a while.
I'm the least comforting person, I'm afraid that I'll cry first if I comfort myself.
It's all gone, and now although life is not so good, we are together, and my husband is good to us, and we are very happy.
Then, as she spoke, she went down.
Brother Qiu misses the old love like me, and I can't forget Xiaoyu's mother, but he has always had you in his heart, his infatuation is terrible, I have been a neighbor with him for seven years, and I have seen with my own eyes how he misses you. Sister, Brother Qiu is infatuated with you, he is just a little poor, and he will not be less good to you than your husband.
I believe.
However, when I get and leave the book, I will not look for a man again, I will focus on the inn.
What style of clothes do you have?
Zhang Zhenzhen looked at me in surprise for a while and said: I haven't thought about it yet.
Girls love beauty, so they have to design well.
Sister, you can design?
Brother Autumn will. I was with him for a year, and he often changed clothes for me to wear, and the clothes worn by rough men were sweet and cute.
Oh? He's got what it takes. I'll go find him when I'm done knitting.
Would you guess that Akigoshi wasn't at home?
Then congratulations, you guessed it.
How do I know, because I went there?
Autumn Yu wasn't there either, but I met a youkai again.
A youkai who doesn't distinguish between men and women.
Since I don't know what kind of monsters Rui Rui sees, I can't tell if it's the same thing.
But I saw that this demon was wearing heavy makeup, the clothes were evenly clothed, there was a golden crack in the middle of a black and white mask, and a pair of eyes were charming.
You'd say it's a banshee, but I think this demon deliberately lied to me.
Are you guessing that it will be this monster who killed Lu Mo and Qiu Yue?
My gut tells me no.
Don't ask why I trust my instincts so much.
Because I'm a woman.
A woman's instincts have always been accurate.
You can see the demon's neck bursting with green tendons, its belly covered by strips of cloth, and you can see its saber hidden at its waist, with a dark green emerald gold tassel hanging from the hilt.
And I, just looking at it, trying to see from the mask where this demon came from.
This demon, at a speed invisible to you and me, is full of strength and comes to push me.
Yes, you read that right, push me.
If there is an abyss behind me, it is easy to understand, this demon is like a child fighting, pushing me hard.
You see the stones on the ground behind me.
You also saw Qiu Yu lying on the wall and watching.
You also see Qiu Yue and Zhang Zhenzhen repairing the fence wall of Zhang Zhenzhen's house.
And I, who was scrambled to my waist, had only tears and no sound.
You see Qiu Yu climb up the wall. He has the same ability as his father, with two feet firmly on the fence, and he seems to be able to walk up the knife mountain like his father, leaving only red marks on the soles of his feet.
However, you also looked at him and did not come to save me.
The monster looked at me in pain and slowly took off his mask......
