CHAPTER XXVIII
"You don't want to spew blood!" Zhang didn't know whether he was weak or angry, so he got up angrily and ran to Qin'er in two or three steps, and slapped her hard with a round arm.
Qin'er screamed and fell to the ground, turned around and pointed at Zhang: "You are just jealous of the Hou Ye's love for me, and you only found a reason to get rid of me after accepting me as a house! Your little tricks can only fool the Hou Ye with cotton ears! How can you deceive the old lady? The teapot is the hands and feet that I ordered people to make, but whose orders I have listened to, everyone knows it!"
"Little Lang Hoof, you still dare to talk nonsense!" Zhang Shi couldn't care about the image anymore, kicked Qin Er on the shoulder, kicked the person on the ground on all fours, and then as if to vent his anger, he actually rode on her body and opened the bow left and right, and hit Qin Er more than ten times in a row, until Qin Er's face was swollen like a steamed bun, the corners of his lips were cracked and blood flowed, and every time he scolded a cruel word such as "Little Lang Hoof" and "Little White-eyed Wolf".
Zhang pointed to Qin'er and said it clearly, but it made Bai Yongchun's heart panic when he heard it, and he pouted and opened his eyes.
"Mother, okay, that's enough!" Bai Xiwan really couldn't see that Mrs. An Luhou would punish her subordinates so viciously, and it would inevitably spread that it was not good, so she stepped forward to support her.
Seeing this, sister-in-law Liu also grabbed Zhang's hand from the other side: "Madam, you are angry, but you can be careful and important." ”
The eldest son is a superfluous existence in the eyes of the Zhang family, and it is also a witness to her husband's unreliability, Bai Xiyuan has always been unwelcome, he has been depressed since he was a child, he is a cowardly person, and he has not waited for an errand so far, he has been studying at home and cannot take the fame test, and he has few friends to socialize. He doesn't even have an heir. He is so useless, even with his wife Liu all these years, he is cautious, he doesn't dare to speak loudly, it is even more impossible to call Zhang's mother, she can only call her Mrs. An Luhou with her husband.
Zhang's tired panting, sideburns were loose, and the hairpin ring swaying made her more and more jewelry, graceful and luxurious.
Qin'er's face was beaten and deformed, and she no longer had the beauty she used to be, and the cracked and bleeding corners of her mouth were even more hideous, pointing at Zhang's inarticulate scolding: "You ordered me to make a stumbling block for Mrs. Shizi, and instructed me to pay a lot of money to buy the original subordinates of Qinyuan to serve the Shizi, and instructed me to do my hands and feet for the teapot, and also instructed me to ......"
"Shut up!" Zhang Shi kicked Qin'er on the shoulder again, and then roared angrily: "Come on, sew this girl's mouth for me, and beat her to death!"
"Yes!"
On both sides, there was immediately a stout woman who had been waiting on the side for a long time, and I don't know where to find a big needle and fine twine for sewing a sack, the two pressed the qin'er, one pinched his mouth, and the other person threaded the needle and thread on the qin'er's lips.
Qi Miao closed her eyes with a pale face. Jade hands couldn't help but clench into fists.
What kind of world is this! She used to live in modern society, and these ancient tortures have only been seen in books, but now the real scene is dripping with blood in front of her eyes, the screams, the blood, and the hideous and ugly face of the executioner, the hands that hold people, and the cruelty of the person who gives the order......
These piles and pieces are all unacceptable to an ordinary modern person who sees them with his own eyes.
The memories that belong to the real Qi Miao in my mind have always existed, but Qi Miao doesn't want to think about it, and now that I think about it, it's no longer torture to punish kneeling in the snow and eating ice in winter. Because those are not immediately fatal.
And now the person who regulates Qin'er like this happens to be his enemy!
If you don't fight, what will happen if you lose? Qin'er is an example!
The man with his mouth sewn was dragged to the courtyard, and the stout mother-in-law took a bamboo board three inches wide and one and a half feet long to execute. The first board went down, and Qin'er woke up from a coma. I wanted to scream but couldn't, and pulling the stitched lips only hurt more.
The crackling sound of the board falling and the muffled scream like killing a pig are terrifying to those who really listen.
Cool sweat broke out on Qi Miao's back.
I really want to go home! She really wants to go back to modern times! Just be an ordinary Chinese medicine doctor to save lives and help the wounded, not to be glorious and rich, not to be magnificent, just a dull life!
But she can't go back!
I forced myself to open my eyes, not to look at the person in the hospital who was about to be beaten with broken bones and tendons, and I didn't want people to see her cowardice. Because she knew very well that since she was going to use punishment, naturally there was no reason to move in front of the master, how could those pickled things be seen by the masters?
But Mrs. An Luhou did just that, and it seems that the old lady also acquiesced. The purpose of this is nothing more than to set an example for the chickens and monkeys.
If she was frightened, wouldn't she be as they wanted? Even if she was afraid, she would not be afraid in front of others.
Bai Xiyun sat with his eyes down. Out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen his beloved wife's pale face, and he was distressed. But he couldn't comfort her for no reason, but attracted the attention of others.
It's just that Bai Xiyun also knows that there are many people in this heavy drama who are waiting to see the bride make a fool of herself. There are even more people like Bai Yongchun staring at beauties.
Bai Xiwan controlled herself not to care about Qi Miao, restrained the pity in her heart, and instead helped Mrs. An Luhou to sit down.
And Bai Yongchun has long hated to hold people in his arms and take good care of them. The girl who was still with him yesterday was beaten to death like that, although he had some pimples in his heart, this time he was replaced by the hope of Qi Miao's thoughts.
"Ma'am, that is dead. The mother-in-law in charge of the punishment replied under the porch.
Zhang had already sorted out his clothes and hair, sat in the first place, and said lightly: "Bury it." ”
"Yes. ”
People were taken away.
In addition, there are people who carry water to brush the floor.
The air seemed to be filled with a thick smell of blood.
Zhang looked at Qi Miao and said with a gentle smile: "Qi Clan, are you satisfied now? The person who harmed you is dead." Isn't that exactly what you've been looking for?"
Qi Miao's originally uncomfortable blood seemed to be condensed, but Zhang's words unsurprisingly ignited her anger.
She looked at Zhang coldly, her glamorous appearance became more and more domineering due to anger, "Mother-in-law is really good at laughing." I've always wanted a result. When did I say that I wanted people to die? What's more, even if Qin'er was involved, I believe that the people who actually did it behind the scenes have not moved a single bit. Qin'er just succumbed to death. ”
"You poisonous woman!" Zhang was poked in the sore spot, pointed at Qi Miao and scolded: "It's just that you burned your feet, you want people's lives, and people's lives are paid for you, and there are also girls who have been bought, you are not satisfied?! ”
Qi Miao smiled obediently: "It turns out that my mother-in-law also knows that poisonous women are the root of the troubled family." Raising his eyes to look at the old lady who had been twisting the Buddha beads with kind eyebrows: "The old lady must know it." ”
The old lady kept lowering her eyes, and even the eyelids that didn't flutter when she was a child when she was a child were lifted suddenly, and the cold twilight shone straight towards Qi Miao.
Qi Miao didn't back down, only raised her eyes and smiled to look at her. The eyes of the two met, as if they could see through each other's hearts.
Seeing that Qi Miao didn't know whether to live or die Yu Lao Taijun, Zhang couldn't help but sneer. When the old lady killed the concubines, Qi Miao's mother was still breastfeeding, she was a hairy girl, and she dared to blow up her hair with the old lady, and she was really tired.
Bai Yongchun saw that his mother was only staring at his beloved beauty, he was a little worried, stood up and said, "In a few days, it will be my mother's sixty-eighth birthday, and my son plans to give you a big deal." ”
Bai Xiwan also said: "Grandmother, my grandson has even thought about which troupe to invite on your birthday." I'll make a list for you later, and you promise to like it. ”
The atmosphere changed stiffly, the old lady's eyes moved away, and Qi Miao felt that the pressure suddenly decreased.
She still sat upright, her smile was calm, and she didn't see any difference. It seems that the fighting, killing, and verbal confrontation just now didn't pass her heart at all.
Bai Xiyuan and the Liu couple, who were sitting opposite her, looked at her in unison.
Liu's heart is full of admiration, if she is Qi Miao, she is afraid that she will be scared and weak, she is just a girl who has just entered the door, and she can stand such a Zhang family and the old lady. It's really the shaved eyebrows of women.
The Zhang family organized everyone to study how to hold the old lady's birthday banquet, and then ordered them to go back.
Qi Miao helped Bai Xiyun up as usual. The two went to the courtyard hand in hand, Guan Junyan naturally asked the people from Qinyuan to carry the sedan chair, and the three of them took someone to give alms.
When they walked away, Bai Yongchun said disapprovingly: "I killed my subordinates with a cane in public today, it really shouldn't be." It also seems that we are too unkind. ”
Zhang sneered: "Are you afraid of frightening your heart, or are you distressed that I killed that cheap girl?!"
"You, it's unreasonable!" Bai Yongchun brushed his sleeves away.
Zhang looked at his back and snorted coldly.
The old lady looked at the Zhang family who couldn't suppress his temper, shook his head and said: "If you go on like this, sooner or later, you will not be the opponent of the Qi family, it is better to learn to suppress some temper." ”
"Why is my mother talking to that little slut?!"
"I mean the facts. I just saw that girl doing a good job, you better be careful. The old lady waved her hand, "I'm tired, you all go." ”
Zhang didn't dare to offend her mother-in-law, after all, she was her dependent in the back house, so she only held her breath and saluted, pulling Bai Xiwan to retreat, Bai Xiwan wanted to go back to the study, but was taken back to Jinxiangyuan by Zhang, chatted for a long time, and forced to eat a lot of snacks, and asked for homework before letting go.
And Bai Xiyuan and his wife had long been accustomed to being left out in the cold, and quietly went back to the courtyard.
Qin Garden.
Qi Miao helped Bai Xiyun back to the room, and still checked the pulse of his hands, and when he saw that there was no major problem, his heart was also relaxed: "You can rest for a while, you will have lunch in a while." I'll go to the kitchen and see, what do you want to eat?"
Bai Xiyun shook his head, "Don't you go to prepare lunch today, stay with me for a while." He took Qi Miao's hand and asked her to sit beside her, "It's because I can't stand you and scare you." ”
Qi Miao shook her head: "I'm scared, but I'm not scared." Just figured out one thing. ”
