Chapter 1: Son-in-law
"Lang Jun, I seem to be pregnant."
"Don't make jokes! You've been lying in bed for two or three years, and you still have to pass it out? ”
"It's true, I've been nauseous lately, the menstrual affair hasn't come, and my stomach is a little pregnant..."
After a slight silence, the sound of rustling cloth rubbing came, and then the man gasped: "It's really..."
Some harsh tones made Gu Huai, who was in the dark, have some strength, and he struggled to open his eyes, and his gaze slowly fixed on the beams above the embroidery bed.
The light of the charcoal stove and the candle flame illuminated the room, and the two figures behind the screen looked a little distorted, and Gu Huai felt his body and found that he couldn't even move his fingers.
Where is this? Who are those two people?
"Or... Flow, right? ”
"There are three shops in Deji Hall, I have to go to take inventory every day, and I haven't seen anyone for at least a few months, and those shopkeepers haven't rebelled?"
The woman's voice was a little sharp: "Besides, if something happens, what should I do?" ”
The man was silent again: "I've been in the Song Mansion a little too much these days, you wait for me to go back and think of a way." ”
"A man with no conscience, why don't you go back and think of a way when you trick your mother into bed?"
"If you really can't say that you have woken up? Anyway, it won't be around for long... When you drugged your father-in-law, didn't it take long for the storm to go out? ”
"Phew, then the waste is paralyzed, if the old lady does this, how will she see people in the future?"
What a pair of dogs man and woman.
Gu Huai, who couldn't see the faces of the two of them, sighed a little, what theater did he enter? It's this kind of drama, it's a bit exciting.
But after a moment he couldn't laugh anymore, and the memories that swarmed him went black, and his whole body twitched.
The memories of another man for more than twenty years were flooding his mind with a monstrous resentment.
Young and middle-aged, in the middle of the family, fleeing into trouble, the old father is dying, collapsing in bed...
Gu Huai, who gritted his teeth desperately, finally couldn't bear it anymore, his arm regained some strength, pulled the sheet and fell to the ground.
A suppressed exclamation rang out from behind the screen.
......
Gu Huai, who was dressed in a thick green robe, had a complicated complexion, it was good to feel the sensation of his limbs again, and the white porridge given by the maid was also delicious, but the amount of memory information he got just now was too great.
The woman on the other side had a more complicated complexion, mixed with fear and caution, and after hesitating for a while, she finally asked: "Xianggong... When did you wake up? ”
"I just woke up and got out of bed, fortunately my wife was by my side," Gu Huai put down the spoon, "What year is it now?" ”
The woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Thirty-one years of Hongwu..."
Gu Huai's hand paused, and he didn't know whether he was lost or shocked on his face: "It's really been lying down for three years?" ”
The room did not answer, apparently shocked by what was happening in front of them.
The Song family itself runs a pharmacy, and several shopkeepers shook their heads when they saw their uncle's condition, why did they still say that they would get out of bed when they got out of bed?
And looking at this face, in addition to being a little paler, he is still as young and handsome as when he was rich.
"I haven't had bedsores in bed for three years, and my wife has a heart."
The woman's face was a little embarrassed, and her eyes turned to the side: "There are a lot of shop affairs, and the concubine has moved to the side compartment in the past two years, and the husband is taking care of Xiaohuan." ”
Gu Huai's gaze followed the woman to the little maid who was standing aside and cowering.
He raised an eyebrow, a little puzzled.
Since they are all separated, how can they still steal into their own room?
Could it be for some particular fetishes and tastes?
Gu Huai felt that the deep resentment was impacting his mind again, he held his forehead and lowered his head to drink porridge.
In the silence, the woman opposite couldn't sit still, it's not terrible to do too much, but the person who owes it is still a little weak-hearted.
She leaned on the chair and got up: "The husband will have a good rest after dinner, the concubine is a little tired, and I will come to see my husband tomorrow morning." ”
Gu Huai smiled warmly: "Mrs. Hard, Mrs. is at her own convenience." ”
But the person who has been bedridden for many years has just woken up, and it is not suitable to eat too much, he put down the bowl with some regret, looked at the young maid opposite and smiled:
"Help me out for a walk."
"It's snowing outside, uncle," after the woman left, the little maid was obviously much more vivid, "Uncle just woke up, and his body is weak." ”
"It's okay, just look at the snow in the north."
The little maid helplessly helped Gu Huai up, crossed the doorrail, and the cold air on his face lifted Gu Huai's spirits, and he looked up at the heavy snow, a little distracted.
The snow-covered courtyard is a typical northern style, sitting north and facing south, with thick walls and small windows on all six walls, pillars between the pavilions supporting the passages, and hanging lanterns reflecting the snow.
"Where's the compartment?" After a long time, Gu Huaicai lowered his head and asked.
The little maid pointed in a direction, not far away, and the lights were bright.
Gu Huai looked at it quietly for a moment and waved his hand: "Go down, you should go to bed early in winter." ”
"Uncle..."
Gu Huai didn't speak, just waved his hand again.
The little maid pursed her lips, ran into the house again, took out a piece of clothing for Gu Huai, and then slowly walked into the darkness.
"Thirty-one years of Hongwu, Beiping City..."Gu Huai muttered to himself, "The year Zhu Yuanzhang died?" ”
"It's really a car accident and it's been worn for hundreds of years..."
With a sigh, he slowly took off the two layers of clothes he was wearing and moved his body, the white porridge he had just drunk was turning into a calorie that restored his mobility.
It is not far from the main house to the side compartment, but you can't walk the aisle, and at this point in time, there should be people patrolling the night.
"Anyway, where did that adulterer go?"
"Leaving in such a hurry to see your sweetheart?"
Gu Huai walked into the snow: "It's a little interesting." ”
......
"Damn, shit... How did the waste, which has been paralyzed for three years, suddenly wake up? ”
The charcoal fire warmed the room, but it couldn't warm Song Jia's tone: "Fortunately, he didn't see you, the next person is the most broken-mouthed, and then spread the rumor, it doesn't have to be a big deal!" ”
The man who had been waiting for a long time from the main house was not as angry and afraid as the woman, and he was thoughtful:
"Maybe... It's a good thing. ”
"A good thing?" Song Jia turned around suddenly, "You deceived my mother in the first place, if it weren't for my mother's indication that she wanted him to join the family, I was afraid that he would find out that I was not a virgin, and I would have drugged this waste?" ”
"Now that he's awake and I have your child, you still say it's a good thing?"
It was really sad to see the woman who hadn't gotten tired of seeing her for three years, and the man hurriedly hugged her:
"You listen to me first, it seems to be a bad thing, but as long as it is done well, it can be a good thing."
"What do you mean?"
"When he wakes up, this child doesn't have to flow, anyway, he hasn't shown his pregnancy yet, and when the time comes, everyone thinks it's his species."
Song Jia suddenly pushed him away: "Do you want the old lady to have sex with him?" Phew, there are no doors! Your conscience was eaten by a dog..."
"And what if he dies before he even has sex with him?" The man's tone was a little cold, "Who knows if you have sex with you?" ”
Song Jia was stunned: "What do you mean..."
"A son-in-law with the most no status, the government doesn't want to care about it when he is paralyzed inexplicably on the night of the wedding, and if he wakes up three years later and dies inexplicably, the government will definitely not care."
The man took Song Jia into his arms again and played with her green silk: "Drag it out for a while, and before he finds out that you have a big belly, you will kill him, and you will give birth to the child again..."
Song Jia's eyes slowly lit up: "When the time comes, if it is a man, there will be a successor to my Song family, and those shopkeepers will not have other thoughts..."
"That's the truth," the man hugged Song Jia and lay down on the bed, "Beiping has not been peaceful recently, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and there are rumors everywhere that he wants to cut the domain, we have the biggest vassal king in Beiping, if you really want to make a fuss, who cares about the dead son-in-law?" What is it that is not a good thing to get more than one stone? ”
Song Jia patted the man's chest: "You have come up with a way... But you have to do it outside, if you die in the Song Mansion, I'm afraid there will be some turmoil again. ”
"What kind of turmoil are you afraid of?" The man was a little impatient, "At the beginning, he was paralyzed inexplicably, and it wasn't that no one said anything?" A son-in-law is a son-in-law, can he be seen as a person? ”
"I don't care, you have to find a way to get him to die outside."
"Okay, okay, you let him go and see the shop, I will get closer to him in the name of doing business, and then make an appointment, and then it will be done."
"This method is good, I have to keep an eye on it these days, lest those subordinates chew their tongues and let him listen."
"The next person chews the root of the tongue, you also come..."
"Death! I've got it..."
There was the sound of heavy objects falling outside the window, and the two people who were still tired on the bed were suddenly alert.
After looking at each other, the man walked quietly to the window and slammed it open.
After a moment, his shoulders relaxed: "No one, it should be the snow on the roof that has fallen." ”
"Are you sure?"
"There are no footprints on the ground," the man closed the window, "besides, who is so bold to listen to the corner?" ”
He rubbed his hands together and walked to the bed: "Go on." ”
The house is full of spring.
On the other side, in the courtyard of the main house, Gu Huai, who suddenly appeared, observed it and made sure that there was no one, so he emerged from the decaying bamboo forest in winter.
He shook the snow off the clothes he was holding, and made sure that the clothes hanging behind the door had not been touched, and then pushed the door into the house.
The charcoal fire was booming, bringing some warmth to Gu Huai, he poured a cup of cold tea, sat at the table and drank it slowly.
The person listening to the corner is indeed him, and it is precisely after listening to the business that he is too lazy to listen to the next hot scene of adultery, and he accidentally made a sound when he wanted to leave.
Fortunately, he brought the clothes he wore before, which could be used to sweep the snow to cover the footprints on the ground, otherwise he would have been caught by the two of them, and he would have to experience the feeling of death again tonight.
Now that they have made up their minds to kill him, those two people will not be relentless.
Blowing out the candles, stripping and going to bed, only Gu Huai's whispered voice echoed to himself:
"Human life is so worthless? I've got to figure out a way to survive. ”
"The most poisonous... A woman's heart. ”
