Chapter 18: Heavenly Heart (6)

Chu Liang rummaged through all the cabinets in the house, large and small, high and low, but found nothing, except for some scattered silver and small silver tickets, but even these unexpected gains were taken into his arms.

After a long day of grinding, he focused his eyes on the dresser, and although he knew that there was no room for a lute there, he still held on to some hope, hoping to find some clues.

Thinking that it was too late, he quickly moved over and began to rummage.

Mrs. Chu knew very well in her heart what the hell was his idea to toss and fight like this.

"Have you found it?" she sat up, her voice dry and hoarse, sounding like it had come out of her lungs.

She spoke suddenly, her voice startled Chu Liang, and when she turned her head, he was stunned for a long time before he struggled to pull out an ugly sneer.

"Lady, what do you think I'm looking for, isn't this a comb!" he turned his back to the dresser, casually touched a grate, and held it up, "I, I see that your hair is messed up on the pillow, and I want to help you grate!"

Although her heart is like a mirror, Mrs. Chu is still a little moved, after all, those former loves are still vivid, "lazy to draw moth eyebrows and make up and groom late", she still can't let go of the feelings of the past in her heart, she wanted to scold him loudly, but she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.

Walking closer, Chu Liang sat on the edge of the bed: "Lady, what happened before, it was me who was wrong!" Reaching out to hold Mrs. Chu's cold hand, he said, "I have sent that Yan'er away, in the future, we will live a good life and ignore those gossip, okay?"

"You, are you serious?" Mrs. Chu understood that she should be sensible, what this man said was all lies, but her heart was still lingering on the warmth of the past.

She has never asked for too much, those glory and wealth, those fine clothes and food, she is not rare. She just wants to be with her husband and grow old together, but everything that happens is contrary to what she wants.

No, she gritted her teeth and decided not to believe anything he said, let alone expect him to suddenly change his temper and change his mind again, although she had secretly thought about it before.

"I, Chu Liang, swear to the sky, from now on, I will only be good to my mother, never have an affair with other women again, study hard and treat my mother well, win a reputation as soon as possible, and teach my mother to live a decent and comfortable life!" As if he was afraid that she would not believe it, Chu Liang raised his right hand and put his two fingers together, and actually made an oath.

With a gentle smile, she sat up and said, "Xianggong, I've been here for a long time, and I want to go home, can I do it?"

"Cheng Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng

"I can't look like this, I will lose my manners when I see my in-laws!" Slowly walked to the already messy dresser and sat down, Mrs. Chu turned around and said, "You wait for me outside, clean up and I'll come out!"

Nodding, Chu Liang didn't even ask a word, she opened the door, and from the bronze mirror, she happened to see his impatient expression.

From the pile of clothes that had been thrown on the ground, she found a flower dress that she wore when she was a girl and changed it in.

In front of the bronze mirror, he began to dress up.

"When the window is cloudy, the mirror is yellow!" Although Mrs. Chu did not "take off my wartime robe", she also took off her torn clothes and put on her old clothes.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, his appearance is still beautiful, but he is full of tiredness and vicissitudes, he is obviously a beautiful person like a flower, but he has lost others in the good times of more than ten years.

Pushing open the door and coming out, her voice was cold: "Xianggong, can you go to the place where we met again?"

was stunned for a moment, but Chu Liang's face full of conspiracy actually showed a look of nostalgia.

"Let's go!" he agreed, and he took Mrs. Chu's hand.

The two of them stepped on the gravel road, which was already overgrown with weeds, and came to the edge of the well in the backyard.

"Do you remember?" Stroking the edge of the well covered with moss, Mrs. Chu asked softly, "That year, we were like this, the two of us were alone, I played the pipa and you chanted poems, that scene in my heart, as if it was yesterday!" she said, went around to the other side of the well, and pulled out a rope from the side, "Do you remember this pipa?" Pulling the rope hard, she slowly pulled out a pipa from the well, and the whole body was transparent and the sun shone on the well water, shining with crystal light.

Chu Liang didn't speak, but stared at her fixedly, motionless.

Holding the pipa in her hand, she gently wiped the cool well water on the piano body with her sleeve, Mrs. Chu sat on the edge of the well, and her ten fingers were neither as slender and white as the green onions, nor as flexible as they were in the past, but they could still play a beautiful melody.

Isn't this scene in front of you just like back then!

At this moment, Chu Liang's heart ached, and he actually regretted it, but this little bit of conscience that was touched by this situation was like a shudder in the ocean, and it was immediately swallowed up by the greedy ocean.

He was staring not at the tired and haggard woman in front of him, but at the smooth and beautiful harp in her hand.

Mrs. Chu pressed one hand on the strings that were still chanting and singing just now, and the beautiful melody came to an abrupt end.

"Xianggong, do you want this pipa?" Standing up, she held the pipa and handed it to Chu Liang, "Then I'll give it to you!"

Trembling and taking the pipa, Chu Liang's eyes showed a puzzled light: "Madam, this is?"

Shaking her head, a bright smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Chu's mouth, and she stepped onto the edge of the well violently.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Liang didn't know why he grabbed her, and his face was afraid, "Madam, come down quickly, it's so dangerous!"

He should be looking forward to her death, but why can't he let go of the hand that is holding her?

"Come down?" Mrs. Chu's face was full of relief and tranquility, "You got what you wanted, just let me go!" Tears flowed out, shining brightly in the sunlight, "When I get to the Nai Ho Bridge, I will definitely ask Na Meng Po for a bowl of soup to drink, and forget you completely, if there is an afterlife, I just beg not to meet you again!"

"Why are you so bothered?" Chu Liang was a little displeased, and let go of his hand as he spoke.

As a result, this hand was released, and the other jumped into the well.

"Lady!" Chu Liang lay on the edge of the well, not knowing whether he was really sad or too happy, and even screamed and shed tears.

But the well, like a big mouth, after swallowing up the poor woman, was as calm as when no one had jumped into it.

Chu Liang waited for a long time, but he didn't see the figure floating, and when he saw that there was no one around, he wrapped the pipa in his arms and left in a hurry.

As his back disappeared, the environment slowly blurred, and gradually changed back to a familiar scene—the sound of my piano music......

Lin'er's tears were falling more and more like scattered beads, and a small hand covered her mouth tightly, but she couldn't hide the sound of crying.

Taking out the handkerchief, I walked over and took her into my arms, wiping the tears from her face while sighing: "This is the life of Mrs. Chu, perhaps, for her, death is the best relief!"

My words were faint and tasteless, but my heart was mixed, and my eyes were a little faintly swollen, but I couldn't shed a single tear.

Snuggled in my arms, Lin'er still kept crying, crying so hard, and so sad.

So, I had to hug her quietly like this, make a "close", and the Swallowing Heaven Stone returned to the Swallowing Sky Bag by itself.

After a few more days, there was a sudden bustle outside the door, and Lin'er, who was holding a feather duster in the store, was attracted to it.

"Princess, let's go see it too!" she pulled the creature to the wall by the counter, and she leaned in front of me.

She still likes to call me princess when there is no one else around us, and when she has someone else, she will call me Miss.

Pinching my fingers, I continued to fiddle with the abacus beads, and while writing down on the account book with a brush, I didn't raise my eyes: "What's so good, Zuo is just someone who cheated the money of a big family and was caught!"

"Slap" slapped on the table, and Lin'er said dissatisfiedly: "Princess, you just go with me, I can't help you with this account later?"

Looking at her face that was obviously a snake spirit but showed a monkey urgency, I nodded helplessly, and it was allowed.

After leaving the store and locking it, the two of us followed the crowd to see the excitement.

It turned out that Chu Liang took the pipa and sold it to Cai Yuanwai, a big family in the city, and as a result, he was said that the pipa was just a fake, so he asked for the silver to be returned. Chu Liang didn't follow it, not to say that people were tricking and robbing his treasure, but also to slander people.

As a result, Cai Yuanwai was easy to provoke? So he recruited a family member and beat him up, but he actually broke one of his arms and legs.

Poor Na Yan'er was emotional for a while with a big belly, and fell on her heels, and as a result, on the way to the hospital, she died because of excessive blood loss.

The second elder of the Chu family cried so much at home that he grabbed the ground and called for the sky, but he didn't get half of his sympathy. It seems that for the rest of his life, he will have to take care of this son who was beaten so that he can't take care of himself, and live in this world.

......

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin'er and I sat down in the shop.

"Lin'er, you go pick up some dim sum fruits, plus the food in this basket, and send them to the Chu family!" Pointing to something on the counter, I drank all the wine in my cup.

"Well, no matter what, they are also the princess's people, even if they do a lot of evil, they can't watch them starve to death!"

Xu could see that I was a little tired, and she looked back and reminded.

Nodding slightly, I lightly lifted my lips and replied with an "um".

Lin'er wrapped her jacket around her body and opened the door and went out.

The sound of wind chimes mixed with a cold wind and the noisy sound of bamboo firecrackers outside drifted into the store and lingered around me.

Although she would not fall asleep, at this time, I could not resist the overwhelming sleepiness, and I fell into a deep sleep with my arms on the table and my forehead in my hands.

In the dream, I came to the old house of the Mo family again. Walking in the backyard, I saw a girl Mo Yin sitting on the edge of the old well, holding the Tianxin pipa, ten fingers like onions, bright and moving, playing a brisk tune, showing a bright smile!
