Chapter 9: Four Generations in the Same House
The evening breeze is gentle, giving people a cool feeling in this late autumn season.
I sat alone in the dark courtyard, looking up at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.
Maybe there's no going back, right?
It's just that I haven't avenged my revenge, why am I willing to live here for a long time and live this life in a mess......
At some point, my sister-in-law came up behind me and patted me on the shoulder, waking me up from my contemplation.
I barely put on a smile, not wanting her to notice that I was on my mind.
"Brother-in-law, are you still thinking about my sister?"
The sister-in-law crossed her hands and hugged her shoulders, giving people a very cold feeling.
I understood, immediately took off my black coat and draped it over her, then stretched out my finger and scratched her nose, and said with a smile, "You think too much." ”
"Then why did you just stare at the sky in a daze?" My sister-in-law didn't seem satisfied with my answer, and continued to ask me.
"I ...... I remembered some unhappy past. ”
"Tell me about it?"
The sister-in-law opened her ears wide, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
I feigned a yawn, took off the black coat that had draped over her, wrapped it around myself, and headed for the back room.
"Brother-in-law, how can you do this?!"
The sister-in-law was so angry that she stomped her feet and complained that I didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
I ignored her and walked into the owner's room on my own.
Although the original owner's room was not large, it was spotless and tidy, and it did not look like a boy's room.
The white walls are full of photos of Xiao Yihuan, including photos of her and her original owner, selfies of herself, and even photos of her and Wang Shuo playing together on the basketball court.
I can't help but want to laugh, it seems that the original owner really loves Xiao Yihuan deeply, and actually hangs the photo of his rival on the wall.
"Brother-in-law, why do you have so many photos of my sister?"
Suddenly, a startled voice sounded in my ears, surprised and mixed with a hint of envy.
"Candid filming." I said with a smile.
My sister-in-law looked at me with unbelievable eyes, and I couldn't believe my ears.
I suddenly picked up my sister-in-law in pink pajamas with both hands, and teased me improperly: "Mu Wan, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, let's not mention that cheap woman again." ”
My sister-in-law's body was tense and she didn't dare to look at me at all.
I pretended to reach for her pajamas, but she stopped me.
"Brother-in-law, we can't ...... like this" The sister-in-law's pretty face was delicate, as if she would seep water when she pinched it gently.
I smiled and stopped, and rolled over to lie beside her, but I didn't notice the loss in her expression.
After a while, I said coldly: "Go to bed early, Mu Wan, I have to go to Xiao's house tomorrow." ”
"What are you going to do at Xiao's house?"
"Door-to-door propose."
With that, I turned off the light in my room and soon fell asleep.
In my dream, I returned to the country of Dongyue Wu.
My beloved concubine, Wan Yan Ling, named Concubine Yi Niangniang, leaned on the chest of my imperial brother Wu Gong, and looked at me with a cold face who was killed by the ten thousand arrows of the Beimang Army.
"No!"
I screamed and woke up from my nightmare.
It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
I involuntarily turned on the light in the room, but the scene in front of me really shocked me into a cold sweat.
I saw my sister-in-law wearing pink pajamas, and her hair was draped in front of her, just covering her face.
At the same time, his hands were stretched out straight, walking aimlessly around the room, and the scene was very strange.
I held my breath and lay motionless on the bed, afraid that she would find out that I was in the room.
After some time, she finally stopped moving, and passed out from exhaustion.
I got up and walked over to her, crouched down and brushed her long hair, only to notice that her face was covered in sweat.
"Ah......" I sighed, and carried her to the bed.
This kind of weird sleepwalking phenomenon is the first time I have seen it in my life.
I have been reading medical books since I was a child, and I am even more familiar with popular books such as "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", and "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica".
None of these books has a specific account of sleepwalking, let alone its solution.
But I once happened to hear a rumor that people should never wake up when they are sleepwalking.
That's the real reason why we don't dare to speak.
After wiping the sweat off my sister-in-law's body with a towel, the sky outside the window was already bright, and I had no intention of sleeping again, so I simply meditated on the spot to regain my vitality.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Just as I was about to break through the four realms of Lingwu, my sister-in-law's incomprehensible question sounded in my ears.
"Poof......
In a hurry, I couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, which also marked the end of my breakthrough through the four realms of Lingwu.
There are a total of ten realms of Lingwu, and if you break through the ten realms, you can become an immortal, immortal, immortal, immortal, immortal, immortal,
In fact, the immortals who broke through the Ten Realms only existed in the ancient and mysterious myths and legends of the Dongyue Continent, and there was no precedent in reality.
Looking at the entire Dongyue Continent, there is only one person who has reached the Ten Realms of Lingwu, and that is the First Emperor of the Wu Kingdom, that is, my father who has passed away for many years. It took him more than twenty years, but he couldn't break through the bottleneck of the Ten Realms of Lingwu until his death.
And there are only three masters who have reached the Nine Realms of Lingwu, namely Wu Cheng, the Emperor of Wu, Wan Yanlie, the Lord of Beimang, and Wu Gong, the Prince of Wu.
Wu Cheng, the Emperor of Wu, is me, and Wu Gong, the Prince of Wu, is my half-brother.
I never dreamed that Wan Yan Ling would secretly collude with Wu Gong in order to kill me......
"Brother-in-law, are you alright? Don't scare me......"
My sister-in-law hurriedly held my trembling body and prevented me from falling to the ground.
"I'm fine." I managed to squeeze out a smile, not wanting her to worry.
"You vomited blood and said it was okay? Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. ”
The sister-in-law frowned slightly, took my hand and was about to go out.
"Mu Wan, I'm really fine!"
I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth with my sleeve and did two backflips in the room.
Xiao Muwan was stunned, and once suspected that she was hallucinating.
"Let's go, go to Xiao's house."
I said and took her hand and went straight to Xiao's house.
……
Yangzhou, inside the Xiao family's mansion.
The hall was overcrowded, from the old lady Xiao to the great-grandchildren of the Xiao family, all gathered together, looking so lively.
Old Mrs. Xiao sat in the center of the hall, looking at the grand scene of the four generations of the Xiao family in the same house, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"Grandma, this is my bride price for Yihuan, be careful, not respectful, I hope you can accept it."
The speaker is the adulterer who accidentally stabbed the original owner to death, Wang Shuo.
And the bride price in his mouth is a suitcase full of cash.
Old Mrs. Xiao opened the box and took a look at it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's just a second-hand item that can't be sold, you actually treat her as a treasure, spend so much dowry, it's really a stupid person with a lot of money?"
Suddenly, an unsuitable voice sounded, and the eyes of the Xiao family all focused on me.
