Chapter 9: Grandma's Story
Before it was light, the noise of the fight was gone, and only a woman could be heard sobbing in a low voice, it was Ling Fangrui. She hugged Duanmu Kang, and shouted softly, "Ah Kang, Ah Kang", as if she was shouting for a sleeping child to get out of bed and do his homework, just like a loving father and mother in the world.
Someone lit the carriage full of grain and grass in the courtyard, and the courtyard was illuminated like daylight, and it could be seen clearly, Duanmu Kang's blood was completely gone, his face had begun to turn black, his breathing was weak, and he was unconscious.
Yin Jingping kept injecting true qi into Duanmu Kang's body, feeling guilty in his heart, Duanmu Kang was injured in his arms, and at this time, his heart was like a knife.
The three people of Jifeng Village were silent, they knew that it was useless to persuade the sad people at this time.
Ruan Bing approached Ling Fangrui's mother and son, and said in a low voice, "Girl, let me see." ”
Ling Fangrui turned sideways to give up a position, Ruan Bing Ruan Bing shook his head at Duanmu Kang's wrist, and said, "The poison in Ah Kang is still solved, but ••••••" She didn't say the last words, but Ling Fangrui heard that Ah Kang's poisoning could be solved, and she suddenly became energetic.
Ruan Bing got up and took out a bottle from his cuff, poured his Chinese medicine pill into the palm of his hand, and said to everyone: "This is the antidote, everyone take it!"
Because of Duanmu Kang's incident, several people didn't pay attention to it before, but when they looked at each other, they found that the other party's face had turned black, and Dai Hu also found that he had been injured in the arm, and the pain was unbearable. And in the stable, because of Zhang Hongshan's poison, the horses have also overturned.
Ling Fangrui took the pill and was about to put it into Duanmu Kang's mouth, but was unexpectedly stopped by that Ruan Bing.
Ruan Bing Ruan Bing said: "This antidote Akang can't be taken." Ling Fangrui hurriedly stopped.
Ruan Bing pointed to Yan Bin of Jifeng Zhai and explained: "Although Ah Kang has no internal strength like this gentleman in Jifeng Zhai, Ah Kang was slapped by the surnamed Zhang and suffered an internal injury, taking this medicine will cause the meridians to be disordered, and it is very likely that he will die." ”
Ling Fangrui heard Ruan Bing say this, and the hope that had just sprouted in her heart was suppressed again, and she didn't speak, and she didn't take the antidote, just shed tears.
The three of Ji Feng, who had taken the antidote, felt that their chests were no longer dull, and the blackness on their faces had faded.
Ruan Bing looked at Duanmu Kang, remembered the days with Duanmu Kang these days, and felt pity, and said, "Girl, you take the antidote first! I know a person who may have the ability to cure Ah Kang." ”
When Ling Fangrui heard her grandmother say this, she was happy to descend from the sky and immediately asked the person who treated Duanmu Kang in detail. Ruan Bing said: "Don't worry, you can take the antidote first and then tell you, it's not too late, otherwise, you will be poisoned more deeply later, and you won't be able to hear it if you want to." ”
Ling Fangrui gave the antidote to her mouth as she said, and Yin Jingping also took the antidote in her hand. It turned out that because of self-blame, Yin Jingping did not take the antidote with the three of Jifengzhai before.
Ruan Bing said: "Huang Shang." Pointing ahead, he continued: "Live on the hill in front of you, and you will see it at dawn." ”
Everyone understands that "Huang Shang" is naturally the "little lover" in Zhang Hongshan's mouth, but they don't want to ask about the relationship between the two, just wait for Ruan Bing to say it himself.
Ruan Bing continued: "I'm old, and I don't have anything to be embarrassed to say, the kid surnamed Zhang is right, Huang Sheng had made a private agreement with me before, and promised me that he would come back to marry me after he won fame, and after he left, he had no news for more than 20 years, and then I heard that he finally got fame, I calculated it, and he was nearly forty years old when he passed the exam. Later, I learned that he had already become an official, married a wife and had children. I was very desperate at the time, after all, I was already in my thirties, thinking of what he said, 'the similarity will not be lost, and the success will be won', and in a fit of anger, I agreed to marry the eldest disciple that my father had long liked, and the reason for this is inconvenient to elaborate, after all, I misunderstood him, and things were far from what I heard. Anyway, only he can save Akang!"
Dai Hu was straightforward and asked: "Since both sides have become families, it should be best not to disturb each other." ”
When Ruan Bing heard this, he hesitated a little, and seemed to be sad, and said: "That's right, if he hadn't continued to be an official, he wouldn't have learned the skills he has now." ”
Ling Fangrui said: "Grandma, since he has gained fame and become an official, why did he live here later?"
Ruan Bing continued: "Do you know what Emperor Huizong likes the most?"
Yan Bin didn't think twice and said, "Calligraphy and painting." ”
Ruan Bing said: "Yes, I like calligraphy and painting." But his favorite, I think, should be calligraphy and painting. Sit down, change to a comfortable position, and continue: "During the Zhenghe period, Emperor Huizong sent people to collect Taoist books from all over the world and print them. Tsk, there are many books, a total of 5,400 times 81 volumes, called "Wanshou Daozang". And the person in charge of proofreading and engraving is him, Huang Shang, at that time, he was still a civil official. However, for up to four years, proofreading, engraving, and proofreading every day. He understood the truth and reason, and unconsciously became a martial arts master. That year, the Ming Sect led by Fang La eventually became a rampant bandit, and the emperor ordered him to lead troops to exterminate it, and finally suffered defeat. Although, he still killed many bandits, but he was also seriously injured, hiding in the farmhouse for a few days to recuperate, and when he went back to pay the errand, he found that he had already been notified by the imperial court that he had been killed in battle. After staying in the city for a few days, I finally figured it out, and I was really tired of being an errand boy in the imperial court for many years. At this time, he thought of me, and he inquired and walked all the way to this place. ”
Ling Fangrui said: "Grandma, then you haven't seen each other for many years, you should have a lot to say." But if he leaves, what will happen to his family?"
Ruan Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Since I haven't wanted to see each other for many years, both parties have already started a family, so it's naturally better not to see each other." As for his family, I later learned that he didn't have any family members at all. ”
Ling Fangrui was shocked: "What, didn't Grandma see him?" Yan Bin interjected: "He is such a big official, he has no family, presumably, he was not happy when he was an official." ”
Ruan Bing nodded and continued: "I asked my husband Yang Keqin to see him, and after so many years, it's still good that I haven't seen him." ”
Ling Fangrui said: "After thinking and hating for so many years, it's time to stop." ”
Ruan Bing said: "That's the case, but we still don't see each other." These things were told to me by Keqin after he saw Huang Shang. continued: "Later, I learned that my husband found Huang Sheng to live in Wuxian Mountain, and he has been there ever since. ”
And said: "Later, my daughter-in-law was pregnant, this is naturally a big event in the gang, and I held a banquet to celebrate, but on this day, Zhang Hongshan, who betrayed the Huanglong Gang, came to ask for the palm, although my old man Yang Keqin desperately protected and lost both, but he was still robbed of half by Zhang Hongshan, the old man was poisoned too deeply, and he lay on the bed for a few days before leaving. Actually, the night Keqin left, I overheard the two of them talking in the house. Yes, it was Huang Shang, he learned that something had happened in the gang, and he came down the mountain to visit the old man. ”
Ruan Bing's voice trembled, obviously a little sad, and continued: "I can hear them clearly when they talk. ”
That night, he was in front of Keqin's bed and said, "Brother Yang, let me try your pulse." With that, he stretched out his hand, as if to take the pulse of Keqin. didn't want to, but Keqin retracted his hand into the quilt and said, "Brother, no need, I know that you are very capable, but I know that the poisoning is too deep, even if you are an immortal, you can't save it." ”
Huang Shang said: "Let me try, maybe it's okay." ”
Yang Keqin said: "No, it's too painful to live, every time I see you and her, I feel very painful." ”
Huang Shang said: "Although I have had such a period with Ah Bing, I am innocent after all. You're a husband and wife, and I don't want to be involved and embarrass everyone, you know that. ”
Yang Keqin choked up and said: "Actually, things are not as you see, because of this, I feel even more sorry for you and Ah Bing." ”
Huang Sheng was confused, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yang, if you say sorry Ah Bing, this is a matter between you, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding, but if you want to say sorry to me, then you shouldn't." He added: "Decades ago, I could see that you took care of Ah Bing, and it was so obedient, and I am grateful." Now, I'm here, and it's also the place you helped me find out, it's too late to be grateful, how can you be sorry for me?"
Yang Keqin smiled bitterly and said, "What if you really do something sorry for you?" Huang Sheng was silent and did not answer, and Yang Keqin continued: "All your letters to Ah Bing have been secretly withheld by me?"
Huang Sheng said, "What? Ah Bing didn't see the letter I sent her?"
Yang Keqin said: "It's not just a letter, a few years ago, every time you came to find A Bing, I didn't tell her. ”
Huang Shang said: "Didn't you say that Ah Bing didn't want to see me?"
Yang Keqin said: "I lied to you, Ah Bing has been waiting for you for many years. Later, I lied to her and said that after you became an official, you rose to prominence, married another wife and had children. In a fit of rage, she agreed to marry me. ”
Huang Shang said: "Brother Yang, I believe in you the most, but, how can you do this?"
Yang Keqin said: "I know, you love her, but in my heart, I love her even more! I grew up with her, and then, you appeared, and I found that she had changed, and then I realized that someone was going to snatch her from me, and I was really miserable." ”
Huang Shang sighed, his face was already swollen red, he knew that the person in front of him was already lying on the bed dying, and it was naturally useless to have a resentment, but he still couldn't help but smash his knees to vent.
Yang Keqin continued: "I didn't want to ask for your forgiveness, it's just that I'm going to tell you these things, I don't want you to misunderstand Ah Bing's ruthlessness and injustice." ”
Suddenly, Huang Sheng was speechless, and he was full of thoughts in his heart, and after a long time, he said: "You can take care of your injuries! You can rest assured, from now on, I will die on the mountain and will never go down the mountain." I won't see her. When he walked out of the house, his heart was so painful and in a trance, obviously touched by Yang Keqin's words. And Ruan Bing's mood outside the window is even more complicated, on the one hand, she misunderstands Huang Shang, who has loved her for many years, and on the other hand, she is a husband who makes everything smooth but cheats on her. Secretly weeping.
The next day, her husband Yang Keqin also told her the truth of the matter, she just pretended to know everything, nodded, and said: "I already knew this, don't worry! We are husband and wife, and we will not resent you, let alone hate words." ”
Yang Keqin died in her arms. After the burial, according to her husband's description, she found the letter that Huang Sheng wrote to herself in those years. One by one, one by one, I looked at it slowly, my eyes were full of tears, and my heart was gray.
Ruan Bing looked at everyone and continued: "Later, my granddaughter was born, her little appearance is very cute, after discussing with my son, my granddaughter followed my surname Ruan and named Ruan Shuipei. But because of Zhang Hongshan, this doll has been weak and sick since birth, and before the age of two, he found many doctors and took a lot of medicine, but to no avail. The child's mother cried to death, and she was about to go crazy. Sighing, he said: "When my husband died, I secretly swore that I would never contact Huang Shang until I died, but after all, it was about my granddaughter's life. I also knew that Huang Sheng said that he would not go down the mountain, so he simply asked his son Yang Yifan to send Ruan Shuipei up the mountain directly. Later, I handed over all the affairs of the Yellow Dragon Gang to Yifan to take care of, and I found an opportunity to fake my death and deceive everyone. Dozens of years old, I want to be quiet, secretly determined not to see the people I know from now on, but the relationship with my relatives has always been severed, walking around, and always living near the Yellow Dragon Gang. A few months ago, two strangers came here to set up shop and do business, and out of vigilance, I naturally went to investigate, for fear that these two strangers would be bad for my family. ”
Ling Fangrui looked at Duanmu Kang and asked, "Grandma, the stranger you said is us!"
Ruan Bing nodded and continued: "You and Ah Kang are commensurate with mother and son, but you are also just an older child, you have such a big son, I naturally don't believe it." Soon, I noticed that you had martial arts, and you were not ordinary, and I was puzzled, so I simply became the cook of the store myself, and observed for several days, and found that there was nothing suspicious about the two of you, so I only thought that you were fleeing and drifted here. Later, from the conversation between your mother and son, I also knew that you were the adoptive son and adoptive mother, and the reason for coming here was only to find the whereabouts of the father of the righteous son, and I was completely relieved to know that the two of you were not here to trouble the Yellow Dragon Gang. I never thought that this stranger was named Duanmu Kang, and he called 'Grandma and Grandma' affectionately every day, and the mother and son also respected me very much, which made me very nostalgic and didn't want to leave. During this period, there was a hunter who delivered his prey to the store every few days, and I knew from the way you looked at him and the way he talked to Akon, I knew that you had known each other for a long time, maybe you and he had known him since childhood, and the three of you came here together, and his kung fu was also above you. And he added: "You have come all the way to this place with the son of 'him' you are looking for, and I have tried to guess the relationship between you and 'him' and Orion, in short, 'that him' may be very good, but at least, there is nothing better than the current 'him (Orion)'." ”
