Chapter Eighty-Five: The Old Woman
Nian Chenghe stared at the corpse, his face became colder and colder, and his previous out-of-tact temperament was put away, replaced by calmness.
Full of sad tears, I can't speak.
He recognized the corpse, and his memory went back to that time, when Brother Wang was holding a gun in his hand and shouting the words "go away".
He had guessed a long time ago, and he should have known a long time ago, that Brother Wang was dead.
He also fantasized that Brother Wang would be able to come back alive and be alive to laugh with them.
Self-blame, guilt, and unspeakable emotions filled him, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, so he knelt down and kowtowed in repentance.
Yuechuan had never seen a corpse, and grabbed Zhang Lin with both hands, but Zhang Lin's eyes stared at the figure in front of him without blinking.
The figure stubbornly wanted to stand up, to pull the corpse on the ground.
He heard Chenghe talk about what happened in the old factory, and before he had time to feel sad, another voice told him in his ear.
Chishen has regained his memory.
But why didn't she recognize him and treat him as a stranger?
Is it to blame him? He was not there when she faced danger again and again, when she was about to die again and again.
Now that I think about it, he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a husband.
Countless times in front of his family and country, he did not hesitate to abandon her.
Didn't he inflict all the injuries she suffered, and her inability to be a mother?
He finally understands now that he is not worthy of her love, she can give up her comfortable and comfortable days to pursue all the way, and even give the life-saving necklace to Chenghe, so that Chenghe can help him, but he pushes her away again and again.
Such thoughts were interrupted when Xu Jing turned around.
Xu Ji looked at the few people standing in front of her in a daze, her eyes unconsciously looked at Yuechuan, and her last gaze stayed on Yuechuan and grabbed Zhang Lin's sleeve.
She was no longer in the mood to care about this, so she turned around and put the coat she was wearing over the corpse, and pulled it out with difficulty.
Nian Chenghe quickly stood up and whispered, "I'm with you."
A fluttering "yes" came.
Bang Dong โ
A falling sound came, Xu Jing looked down, and a shining cold handle fell to the ground.
Picking it up, Xu Jing gasped, this knife is Mu Xiuyan's, it is the knife of the year.
And this knife was pressed under the second brother Wang.
Xu Jing's last vestiges of reason were washed into a blank, and in that case, Brother Wang even thought about keeping the knife as evidence, hoping to be discovered by them.
The heart-rending voice continued to echo, impacting everyone's minds, "Brother Wang!"
After crying and roaring, Xu Jing only felt her chest rolling, and a mouthful of hot blood gushed out.
"Poofโ"
Everyone was startled, their faces changed, and Zhang Lin rushed up with an arrow to hug her crumbling body.
Those eyes were full of tears and heartache, Xu Jing couldn't bear such pain, and fell into Zhang Lin's arms.
"Doctor Shen! Come on!!".
Mu Xiuyan took a sip of hot tea, sipped the residual tea flavor on his lips and asked, "Young Grandma hasn't come back yet?"
The old woman with her head half-bent nodded and said, "I didn't see it, we waited for a while after we came back from shopping, thinking that the young grandmother had already returned to the house and came back without permission, and asked the young master to punish him."
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Sheng'er hurriedly went to speak, "Young master, young grandma may be preparing a birthday gift for you, and she asked me what you like two days ago!"
Speaking of this, Mu Xiuyan's face still didn't seem to change, he put down the teacup and smiled faintly, "What about Bai Yanling? Why haven't you seen her lately?"
The old woman's heart was pounding, she was in charge of the courtyard of Bai Yanling, but in the past few days, she had no time to take care of Bai Yanling because she was too busy, and the last time the young master and Bai Yanling quarreled was rumored, you have to do your duty and observe the situation
Bai Yanling, that can't be a disadvantage to the young grandmother.
Thinking about her making up a random call, "Miss Bai is a lot more settled now, not always with a bad temper like before, and is tending to some flowers and plants in the yard these days."
As soon as she said this, the old woman noticed that something was slightly wrong with the atmosphere, knelt on the ground and raised her head a little, and swallowed her throat.
Mu Xiuyan chuckled at the corner of his mouth, "Do you know who I hate the most?"
The old woman trembled nervously, but she still barely supported herself to reply, "No... I don't know."
"I don't know, I'll let you know today, Sheng'er, bring the breeze!"
Hearing this, the faces of the two of them changed, and Sheng'er's eyebrows and eyes were full of worry, this and the wind is the highest punishment used by the government to punish the people, and the wind is a thick stick with such a thick arm, and there are some inverted triangles on the top, and there will be a stinging flesh when it hits the back of the person, it is too cruel, so it has never been used.
And now the young master actually wants to use this method to deal with the old woman in front of him.
Sheng'er was a little unbearable, looking at the kneeling person on the ground, his face was wrinkled, and his body was thin into dry firewood, and he said pleadingly, "Young Master, this harmony is used on her, I'm afraid she won't be able to live today."
The old woman did not seem to have woken up from her fright, and looked at the person sitting on it with a pair of bulging eyes.
"Sheng'er, when is it time for me to be questioned?"
Sheng'er had never seen such a young master, and for a while the words were choked in her throat, and finally she chose to swallow it back in her stomach and silently turned around to get the wind.
The old woman seemed to have finally regained her consciousness after seeing the wind, and her eyes finally regained their clarity, and she said tremblingly, "Young Master! I admit that I really haven't been back to the yard to take care of Miss Bai these days! I admit it! I'm willing to be punished! It's just that I can take the wind back, I'm old, and I've been taking care of it since the young master was young, if this wind hits the old slave, I'm afraid I won't see the sun tomorrow!"
In just a few words, he made it clear the mistakes he had just made, and counted his merits one by one, avoiding the important and light, and he could still do this at this time, Sheng'er sincerely admired.
However, Mu Xiuyan didn't think so, he nodded slightly as if he had heard a painless parent, "You have been in my house for more than 20 years, and you must have credit, but in these more than 20 years, you can't even learn a single rule well, and you will be punished; Don't play a leading role for other subordinates, but take them to steal women and play tricks together, and the punishment should be increased, and the wind is already the lightest punishment for you."
Every word was hammered heavily in his heart, and every word seemed to be insignificant in his mouth, as if he was just saying a small thing.
The old woman's frightened hands clenched into fists, and a flattering face squeezed out of the wrinkles on her face, "Young Master, you, you also know that I have taken care of you since you were a child, and I am also half of your adoptive mother, I brought you up with one hand, and I don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and I also ask the young master to be extra kind!"
Sheng'er frowned unconsciously, the time she had been in the mansion was not short, more or less she had heard something about the past things in the mansion, and there were countless things about the young master.
One of them is the story of the young master and the old woman in front of him.
It is said that when the young master was born, it rained heavily for half a month, and the crops that were finally planted could not stand the rain and waterlogged one by one, and the harvest was pitiful.
If only this is the case, but the harvest is less, and the number of cases issued by the government to each yard will be less, and the nurse who has been taking care of the young master at that time has filled a lot of private pockets, and the young master is not happy, so he will be beaten badly.
Anyway, at that time, not many people around the world cared about this little young master, so everyone turned a blind eye.
Sheng'er had always been skeptical about this matter, but now that she saw the old woman in front of her, she really believed this rumor.
Mu Xiuyan's face was calm and terrifying, even if these stories were true, when he heard the old woman in front of him say these words, he didn't have any waves.
He kept her until now, just to lift her.
"Someone! Drag it on!"
As soon as the words fell, five or six people rushed into the house and dragged the old woman out, and the old woman looked at the people in front of her incredulously, and shouted, "Young master! Help!"
The old woman was dragged outside the courtyard to be executed, four people pressed her limbs, two of them held the wind in their hands, and smashed, and a terrible scream sounded.
The sound lasted only a minute, and the old woman was out of breath.
Several people glanced at each other, put the old woman in a sack and threw it into the cave in the back mountain and hurried away.
Xu Jing was stepping into the courtyard at this time, and when she saw a pool of blood at the gate of the courtyard, her eyebrows jumped, and she trotted in. c
Mu Xiuyan was sitting at the table at the moment tracing and the Sheng'er on the side was quietly grinding the ink.
Holding the pen in his hand, Mu Xiuyan looked up at the person standing in front of him with a smile, "Here, I asked someone just now where you went."
Xu Jing shook her head, took out a box from the bag in her hand and pointed at it, her eyes bent into a crescent moon "secret"
Sheng'er looked at the delicate box and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the young grandmother really went to buy gifts, if she ran out to play, she said she was going to buy gifts just now, thinking of the old woman's terrible cry just now, Sheng'er couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"By the way, what's the matter with all that blood at the door?"
Mu Xiuyan put down the pen in his hand and held up the tracing painting, "It's nothing, a subordinate made a mistake, that's all."
"In that case, then ask someone to clean up the blood on the ground, and it will make people feel uncomfortable to look at."
Xu Jing's hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched, and she sank deep into the flesh, but she still had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
She could imagine what had just happened in the doorway, blood stinging her eyes.
But she couldn't do anything, she couldn't even change anything, and she had to pretend to be casual and continue to talk to the person in front of her who was comparable to a demon.
Mu Xiuyan put on the suit on his body again, and smiled reluctantly, "I feel like I've gotten a lot better, come with me for a walk outside."
