Chapter 10 The nurse Ge Shi is reduced to a beggar
But said that Ling Yun, in order to rescue Mo Laohan on the cliff, with the support of the gecko magic and shovel, he climbed lightly and came to Mo Laohan's side, held the shovel inserted in the cliff wall with his left hand, stretched out his right hand and grabbed one of Mo Laohan's hands, and said, "Uncle, come up!" ”
At this time, the elm branch that Mo Laohan relied on to sustain his life also "clicked" and broke. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, what a danger!
At this time, Ling Yun lifted it vigorously, and dragged Mo Laohan to his back, letting him hold himself tightly, and then lifted his breath, exerted his strength, brushed a few times, and was close to the top of the cliff.
Ying Chuanlin stretched out his hand and dragged him up. Ling Yun gently put down Old Man Mo.
Mo Laohan was overly frightened, collapsed on the ground, his face was bloodless, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
Mo Shuiling was grateful, just whimpered, and muttered for a long time: "The great kindness of the two, the little girl really doesn't know how to repay each other......"
Ling Yun said: "The girl's words are serious, it's just a gesture." ”
Mo Shuiling saw that his father's face was pale, but he was sweating profusely, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Dad, you ...... What happened to you? ”
Ying Chuanlin said: "It's okay, he's just too frightened, too nervous, and he'll be fine in a while." ”
He looked up at the sky and said, "Senior brother, it's not too early, let's go!" ”
Ling Yun suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Lingzhi, Lingzhi is still at the bottom of the cliff!" ”
Ying Chuanlin said: "I also mentioned the Ganoderma lucidum, if it weren't for it, I would almost take a human life!" This thing is a hoodoo thing, so don't do it. ”
Ling Yun said: "Because of this, it is even more precious. Senior brother, you escort the father and daughter home first, and I will go around the cliff to find out. With that, he turned and walked away.
Ying Chuanlin hurriedly said: "The terrain here is so complicated, it is the first time you have come here, this barren mountain and wild mountains, what if you get lost and can't come back?" If I get you lost, how can I go back and explain to my aunt? ”
Ling Yun didn't look back, and said with a smile as he walked: "Ha! If that's the case, then only Senior Brother Fulao will come back to me! ”
Seeing Ling Yun's ridicule, Ying Chuanlin said helplessly: "Alas! If you know now, why bother in the first place? ”
Ling Yun said: "How is it now?" What about in the first place? ”
Ying Chuanlin sighed: "I shouldn't have brought you out in the first place!" You see, getting into so much trouble. Alas, my life is so miserable! ”
Ling Yun smiled: "Wouldn't it be better if you hadn't been my senior brother in the first place?" ”
Ying Chuanlin was angry and laughed: "You! ……”
When Lingyun went around to the bottom of the cliff, found the fallen Ganoderma lucidum, returned to the cliff, and then sent the Lingzhi back to the Mo family's father and daughter's house, and then politely excused himself from the Mo family's three people's gratitude and hospitality, and when he went out, it was already the sunset.
Ying Chuanlin said: "Look, it's so late, you can't go anywhere, right?" If only you had less to do. ”
Ling Yun smiled: "If you can't do it today, will there be tomorrow!" Senior brother-" He pretended to be a scoundrel and said: "Play with me for two more days, life is rare, and it is rare to have a few leisurely times!" ”
Ying Chuanlin said: "You are free, I am miserable!" What do you eat if you play all day and don't work? ”
"Hey, haven't I been able to cover the food for the past two days?" Ling Yun said, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels, handed it to Ying Chuanlin, and said, "Is it enough?" ”
Ying Chuanlin said: "Hey, who do you think your senior brother is again?" ”
Lingyun said with a hippie smile: "Good senior brother, can you play with me for two more days!" People say that they sacrifice their lives to accompany a gentleman, not to mention that you are still my senior brother! ”
Ying Chuanlin said helplessly: "You! ……”
When the two returned home, it was already in the waning days. When Mrs. Ruan heard that her son was going out tomorrow, she couldn't help frowning.
Ling Yun observed the words and said, "Mother, why don't you take the old man with you?" ”
Mrs. Ruan glanced at him and said, "You don't come with me for this, this mountain is high and the road is steep, and I am a handful of old for my mother, so I won't break up the bones this time?" Go and do it yourself! ”
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Thank you, mother!" ”
Mrs. Ruan looked at Ling Yun's naughty appearance, and couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "Alas! After all, it's a young one, but he doesn't change his playful and noisy nature! ”
The next day, Ling Yun and Ying Chuanlin set off again. There are only Mrs. Ruan, Yu and a few children in the family.
Mrs. Ruan and Yu Shi were together, and they did not say a word. Later, when she got bored, she walked out of the room, intending to breathe. At this time, there was a sound of rustling footsteps outside the courtyard gate.
A ragged woman in her forties, limping on one leg and on crutches, walked in step by step. When several children saw that someone was asking for food, they were so frightened that they avoided one after another, and shouted repeatedly: "Mother, mother......"
Madame Ruan looked at the poor woman intently. Her messy hair was scattered, covering half of her face unkemptly, and the most shocking thing was the two terrible scars on her face, whether she was beautiful or ugly, in short, it seemed very terrible and terrible now.
Yu came out of the room, saw a dirty and ugly beggar standing at the door, and said in disgust: "What are you doing? ”
The beggar hoarsely said, "Okay, okay, give me something to eat!" I haven't eaten for a day. ……”
Yu said: "Why do you talk nonsense this old woman, you ask for food all day long, will you have no food?" ”
The beggar said, "But all people are so ruthless, I hope you are not such a person." Her voice was cold, emotionless, and not the slightest hint of supplication.
Yu Shi was annoyed, "Hmph, I said, no wonder no one gave you anything to eat, look at your virtue......"
The beggar said, "Do you give it or not?" ”
Yu said: "How can you talk like this? Stinky food, hurry up! ”
The beggar looked straight at her, turned slowly, and staggered out the door.
Madame Ruan couldn't get used to watching from the sidelines. She could hear the conversation between Yu and the old woman clearly, and she felt that the old woman was not only pitiful, but also a little strange. From her pale expression, from her bitter and cold words, she had sensed something extraordinary. She shouted, "Wait. ”
But the beggar woman did not react. She still walked forward step by step, her eyes straight and her expression dazed. Madame Ruan couldn't help but scream again.
Yu Shi said impatiently: "What are you doing with her?" ”
Mrs. Ruan said: "In this way, something will happen to her!" ”
Yu said: "Life and death are fate, such a stinky person who wants food, let her fend for herself." ”
When Madame Ruan heard this, she felt very harsh. She turned around in displeasure, went out the door, and chased herself in the direction of the beggar.
Yu's heart was not happy, but he still couldn't worry that it was not safe for Mrs. Ruan to go out alone, so he ordered the two children: "Da Mao Ermao, follow your grandmother." ”
Madame Nguyen followed closely behind the beggar woman and shouted, "Alas, you wait! …… This girl, you wait! ......But the beggar woman walked forward in a daze, as if she hadn't heard it.
Mrs. Ruan did not give up, she was a very enthusiastic and kind old lady. At the same time, the more bizarre the other party's behavior, the more it aroused her curiosity. She pursued after it, even though she was out of breath and exhausted.
The beggar was in a state of chaotic semi-coma at this time. She had a dim sense as if someone was calling out to her, and she felt like there was nothing left. Eventually, she felt that her eyes were getting darker and darker, until all the hallucinations disappeared from her mind......
When her consciousness returned to her mind, she found herself lying on a bed with a doctor-like figure next to her taking her pulse. Sitting next to her was an old lady in her sixties, with good appearance and graceful appearance.
Seeing her wake up, the doctor let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, it's okay to wake up." I'll open a prescription, grab a few more pairs of medicines on time, and I'll be fine. ”
Mrs. Ruan thanked again and again. Lang Zhong gave a few more instructions and went out.
The beggar closed her eyes and remembered what had just happened. I only heard the old lady say: "This is the medical hall of Mr. Liu, a famous local doctor." You passed out on the way, and I had to hire a carriage to get you here. How's that, girl, are you feeling better? ”
The beggar woman's vicissitudes of life, two lines of sour and muddy tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes. She muttered, "I thought there would be no better people in this world, but I didn't expect ......" and she couldn't stop crying.
Mrs. Ruan said: "Sister, how can you think so, there are still many good people in the world!" ”
The beggar sighed, looked carefully at the kind old lady in front of her, and said, "May I ask Madam, are you ...... Isn't it the ...... of that family?"
Seeing that she was talking a little incoherently, Mrs. Ruan hurriedly explained, "Yes, I came from the house you just saw. However, I was not related to the hostess, and I had only been a guest with my son. ”
The beggar sighed. Madame Ruan's honesty and straightforwardness removed the doubts and wariness in her heart. She asked, "What do you call Madame?" ”
Mrs. Ruan said: "The old husband's family name is Ling, his mother's family name is Ruan, her husband died early, and there is only one son under his knees, named Ling Yun. ”
"Lingyun?" The beggar cried out.
Mrs. Ruan was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
The beggar said in a trembling voice, "Ling Yun, is he your son?" …… No, I mean, Ling Lang is the commander of Ling Yunling under Lord Lu of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department of the Capital City? ”
Mrs. Ruan couldn't help but look at her in surprise and said, "Yes, sister, what's wrong with you?" ……”
The beggar woman said excitedly: "Great! That's great! I thought that the suffering I had suffered in this life, the grievances of my life, and the bitterness in my stomach could only be annihilated with my cheap life - I didn't expect that there would be such a day when I was wronged, God, you finally opened your eyes......" As she spoke, she couldn't stop crying.
Mrs. Ruan said: "What the hell is going on, sister, you speak slowly." ”
The beggar said, "Mrs. Ruan, can you take me to see Ling Lang?" Ask him to state to Lord Lu on my behalf, no—I will go to Lord Lu myself and tell him a big secret! ……”
Mrs. Ruan said: "Xiao'er went out today, and he can only come back in the evening." Girl, there are some things that don't have to be rushed, can you tell me what the hell is going on, and I may be able to help come up with an idea. ”
The beggar said, "Okay." It would make me feel better to be able to confide my pain to a good person like my wife. ”
She sighed, and she said slowly, "It's a long story. My husband's surname is Du, his mother's surname is Ge, and he has a son named Zhenghai. I think when I was young, I was also a little beautiful, and I used to be a nurse in a big government in Kyoto......"
Recalling the past years, she can't help but feel sad. Until now, she still hated the dignitary and did not want to mention his name.
She continued, "I hate their family! That great ruler deceived me and caused me to lose everything about a woman, including my honor; Then he gave up and banished me.
"I am desperate, my husband is disgusted with me, my son does not recognize me, I am hesitant, desperate, I don't know what to do, in order to take revenge, I took out the little son who regarded his family as a treasure."
Madame Ruan frowned, and she wanted to speak.
"I was going to kill this child. I took the child to a lush elm forest outside the capital, next to the ancient road, took out the sweat towel I had prepared in advance, and tightly tied it around his neck......
At this moment, a group of robbers passed by. At that time, although I was bored, I did not want to fall into the hands of a group of well-dressed beasts and suffer their humiliation and torture. So I abandoned the child by a layer of bushes and ran away for my life......"
Speaking of this, Ge Shi sighed, "Maybe it's providence, but in the end I was discovered by them......" She had a sad look on her face.
Mrs. Ruan's heart moved and asked, "When did that happen?" ”
Ge Shi said: "Twenty years ago. I will never forget that day, April 19, the 11th year of Qingli, in the Yulin area west of the capital. ”
Madame Ruan's face was a little pale. She said silently: "What about later? ”
Ge Shi said miserably: "Later, I fell into the hands of that gang of robbers; That little boss named Zhu Jiu took over my ......"
Mrs. Ruan said: "Since then, you have not had the whereabouts of that child?" ”
Ge Shi nodded and said, "Yes." I once repented of this and felt that the child was innocent. But on second thought, I am also innocent, who has ever pitied me?
"The great official abandoned me in a mess, and finally threw me like a rag; My husband did not miss the old love at all, and ruthlessly abandoned me; He did not even recognize my son; And my so-called step-husband Zhu Jiu is also playing with me......"
The more Ge Shi spoke, the more sad he became, he couldn't cry, and even Mrs. Ruan was crying.
Ge Shi whimpered: "The most wronged is still to come." Twenty years later, when the chief leader of the bandit organization named Li Ruiyun learned my details, he called me and told me that he also had a blood feud with that big official, and asked me to cooperate with him to take revenge on that sanctimonious hypocrite.
"I'm so stupid that I shouldn't have told everything about it, including all the features of the child I took out: the fuchsia birthmark on his left arm, the amulet engraved with the child's birthday, and the jasper unicorn hanging around his neck - this jasper unicorn was taken off the child's neck by me, and I stupidly presented it to Li Ruiyun with both hands......
Mrs. Ruan said indiscriminately: "What about the talisman?" ”
Ge said: "Because the amulet was carried by the child, it was too hurried at the time and I didn't have time to take it off, so it was still on the child." ”
Madame Ruan suddenly felt nervous in her heart, because she had already thought of something from this, and couldn't help but ask eagerly, "What does that talisman look like?" ”
