Chapter 61: The Prodigal Son Returns
Early the next morning, Yuxue came to the firewood room to open the door, and said coldly to Youming and Yuwen Songxian: "You two can go out"
"What about me?" asked Chen Kang.
"You are not allowed to leave," he said, drove the two out, and locked the door of the firewood room.
Yuwen Songxian and Youming came to the courtyard to see Yi Dan after leaving the firewood room, Yi Dan hurriedly stepped forward and took Youming and Yuwen Songxian's hands and said, "Great, Brother Yuwen, junior brother, you have finally come out, how are you? You didn't catch a cold last night, did you?"
"How can I catch a cold? You don't know, last night, the senior sister in charge asked me to bring them a quilt," Yuxiu said with a smile.
"Yes, it seems that Sister Yan is not the legendary person who is so ruthless and unrighteous to men," Yi Dan said.
"That was before, but now it's an exception," Yuxiu said with a smile.
"Yes, senior sister. Last night Miss Yuxiu brought us a lot of food and a warm eiderdown quilt, and we slept well. Youming said.
At this time, I saw Na Shunshan coming over and asked anxiously: "Miss Yuxiu, may I ask why Master Yan didn't let Chen Kang go?
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about it. In fact, this time the matter between the two of you, in the final analysis, is just a misunderstanding, and there is no problem in principle. But Aunt Shunshan's affair with her husband is the most serious matter for the Ningkun faction. We have to deal with it as soon as possible," Yuxiu said.
"Yes, this is a matter of human life, but you can't be careless," Yi Dan said.
"Well, in fact, he came to me a few days ago, hoping to ask me for forgiveness, and he went back with him. I only advised him to leave quickly, but I didn't expect him to leave all the time, hey... I didn't expect things to turn out the way they are today," Shun Shan sighed.
"I think the person inside seems to have sincerely repented," Yuwen Song said first.
"Brother Yuwen, how do you know that he is truly repentant?" Yi Dan asked.
"I don't know, it's just a gut feeling. You didn't look at him yesterday in the firewood room, how depressed he looked. I didn't eat or drink all night, and I lay on the cold ground and tortured myself," Yuwen Song said first.
"If you knew today, why bother?" Yi Dan said.
"Hey, who is not wrong? If you know that you can change your mistakes, you can still give him a way back. Otherwise, people who make mistakes in the world will only go one way to the dark, and if they make mistakes again and again, won't the world be in chaos?"
"Brother Yuwen, please forgive me. You're all men, of course you'll speak for him, but have you ever thought about Aunt Shunshan's feelings?" Yi Dan said.
"I, I didn't speak for him, I just said what I thought, sister, don't be angry, if you don't like me to say that, then I didn't say it" Yuwen Song said first.
Yi Dan shook his head, took Shunshan's hand and said, "Aunt Shunshan, you have suffered, you have been for your husband and children all your life, and you can give up everything, but until now you are still worrying about others, how can you ever think about yourself?"
"Hey, we women are all this fate. What can I do? I also ask the girl to help me persuade Master Yan, and ask her to be light, and I will not have anything to do with that person in the future," Shun Shan said.
"I'll do my best, but, Aunt Shunshan, I'm on your side. But you are so simple and kind, you don't deserve to be treated like that, in my heart, I still hold grievances for you," Yi Dan said.
"I know, I know, thank you, girl," Shun Shan said.
Yan Hongjue stayed up all night alone in the room, she kept thinking about what Shunshan said yesterday, and Youming's appearance kept flashing in her mind. She knew that she should have fallen in love with Youming, but she didn't know what to do. But she knew that it was impossible for her and Youming, so she suppressed the emotions in her heart and tossed and turned all night.
At that time, Yan Hongjue sat alone in front of the dresser and wiped her sword, but her eyes were filled with sad tears.
"Knock Knock"
Yi Dan, Youming, Yuwen Songxian and Yuxiu came to Yanhong's gate.
"Who," Yan Hongjue asked in a hoarse voice.
"Sister Yan, it's me Yi Dan, are you up?" Yi Dan asked.
Yan Hongjue got up and walked to the door, opened the door with a "squeak", and looked haggard, looking at the four people standing at the door, one of whom was still the person she had been thinking about all night.
"You're all here" Yan Hongjue lowered her head, not daring to look at Youming's face.
"Yes, Sister Yan, my junior brother and I, as well as Brother Yuwen, are all here to apologize to you, I hope you don't get angry," Yi Dan said.
"I'm sorry! Master Yan, yesterday's incident was that we did something wrong, I, Yuwen Song, apologize to you here first," Yu Wen Song said solemnly.
"Yes, Master Yan, it's all our fault, please don't be angry," Youming continued.
Hearing Youming's voice, Yan Hong couldn't help but look up again: "Forget it, it's all over." Although my grandmother and mother-in-law have rules, I am not an unreasonable person. It's just that I was confused by Aunt Shunshan's affairs yesterday, and I ask you not to be surprised."
"It's our fault first, we apologize to you, please don't be angry, otherwise we will not be happy," Youming said.
"Yes, senior sister in charge, don't be angry anymore. Since Aunt Shunshan also forgave that person, why don't you let him go, it can be regarded as a virtue accumulated for Aunt Shunshan, and good people will always have good rewards," Yuxiu said.
"Well, in that case, well. Come with me to the firewood room, explain the matter, and let him go."
After that, Yan Hongjue took the lead and led everyone to the firewood room. Yuxiu opened the lock of the firewood room and saw the man sitting on the ground in despair.
"Our head is here, why don't you hurry up," Yuxiu said to Chen Kang.
That Chen Kang turned a deaf ear, still sitting on the ground, ignoring it.
At this time, Shun Shan also hurried over when he heard the news. After Chen Kang saw Shunshan, he patted the dust on his face, knelt up from the ground, and said sincerely: "Shunshan, Shunshan, you are finally willing to see me, I am sorry for you, I am sorry for the children, and I am even more sorry for this family, you just let them kill me, kill me, and I will be a hundred."
"Chen Kang, don't say that, if you die, what should our children do? We have worked hard for half a lifetime, and only in middle age do we have time to have children, can you bear to watch our children live alone in this world? Since you know that you are wrong, you must take on the responsibility of a father and raise your children well to become talents," Shun Shan said.
"Okay, since that's the case, then you can go back with me, okay? Let's raise our children together, okay? From now on, I will only be good to you and the child, and I will never leave you again, you can go home with me" Chen Kang pleaded.
"Home, where do we still have home?" Shun Shan couldn't help but ask again when she heard this.
"Where there is you and your children, there is home. Shall we start all over again? Can you give me one last chance?" Chen Kang said.
"Go back, don't come to pester Aunt Shunshan in the future, she won't go back with you, you will die of this heart" Yan Hongjue said.
At this time, Yuxue, who rushed to hear the news, rushed to stop it with a sword. She rushed into the door without saying a word, pulled out her sword and pointed at Chen Kang, and then turned her head to Yan Hongjue and said, "Senior Sister in charge, you can't let this beast go, these men are all rhetorical and duplicitous. When you are poor, you know that a good wife is precious, and when you are prosperous, you will cross the river and tear down the bridge, what is the ancestral motto of our Ningkun faction?'Kill all the ruthless and unrighteous men in the world, and save the suffering women in the world', have you forgotten these?" Yu Xue accused.
"Of course I haven't forgotten this, but how easy is it to kill all the ruthless and unrighteous men? Our Ningkun Sect has been founded for more than 100 years, and after seven generations of leaders, no one can do it, so they all cut their hair in the end to see through the world. Yan Hongjue said.
"It seemed to me that I suddenly understood why the grandmothers and mothers-in-law couldn't do this. Although men are unkind, women are unrighteous. The women's efforts are all willing, who is right and wrong, and who can say clearly," Yan Hongjue said.
"Receiving favors, when you return the favor, such a clear and clear truth, isn't it still clear?" Yuxue said.
"If you don't pay, you must ask for something in return. Aunt Shunshan is right, if you pay, you have to reciprocate, it's just a transaction, not love. Yuxue, why are you so persistent?" Yan Hongjue said.
"I don't care about any love, I just know that all the men in this world are not good people, and they should all be killed," Yuxue said angrily.
"Miss Yuxue, if you say that, you are biased. I admit that there are bad men in the world, but that doesn't mean there aren't good men. You say that all men are bad, and all women are not always good, but I don't believe you, but there are many women who, for the sake of vanity and wealth, marry men who are older than their fathers, is that love? ”
"That's right, what's more, there are countless women who go to great lengths to break up other people's families and destroy other people's happiness. How can a hard-working and kind-hearted woman, but an old and yellow woman, be able to fight against the young and beautiful vixen with a heart like a femme fatale?
"Even if what you said is correct, should the men have to look at Shu and abandon the chaos from the beginning?" Yuxue asked rhetorically.
"Everyone, please don't hurt your anger by arguing over my affairs, Miss Yuxue, I know that you are all for my good, and I am afraid that I will be hurt again. But this man is the father of my child, and even if he makes all kinds of mistakes, I can't bear to see him die. I beg you to let him go, I'll kneel down for you" As she spoke, Shun Shan knelt down to Yuxue.
Seeing this, Yuxue immediately threw off the sword in her hand, hurriedly stepped forward to help Shunshan, and said, "Aunt Shunshan, what are you doing here?
"I know, I understand what you said, but my child is still young, you have never been a mother, and you don't understand the heart of a mother. Miss Yuxue, I beg you to let him go," Shun Shan said.
Yuxue saw that Shunshan was so sincere, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Chen Kang picked up the sword on the ground with his right hand, stretched out his left hand, and turned his face to the side, intending to cut down on his left hand.
"No, you don't have hands, who will take care of the child? He's only five years old," Shun Shan cried loudly.
Chen Kang listened to Shunshan's words and stopped moving. But he stretched out the index finger of his left hand and put it on the ground, raised his sharp sword and slashed it fiercely, and instantly cut his fingers and belt bones to the ground.
"Ah, what are you doing, why are you so stupid? What can I do?" Shun Shan screamed, and immediately stepped forward to hold the root of Chen Kang's bleeding fingers.
"Shunshan, I want to swear to you with this severed finger that I will never fail you again from now on, please believe me for the last time, okay?" Chen Kang said bitterly.
"Okay, I believe in you, I believe in you, hurry up and stop the bleeding," Shun Shan cried.
"Yuxiu, go and get some golden medicine and clean linen," Yan Hongjie ordered.
"Yes, senior sister in charge," Yuxiu hurriedly ran to get the medicine and linen.
"I deserve it. I wanted to cut off my left hand, but then I wouldn't be able to take care of the child and you. Shunshan, shall we start from scratch?" Chen Kang looked at Shunshan and said softly.
"I... But..."Shun Shan wanted to agree, but she was afraid that Yan Hong would blame, so she didn't know how to answer.
Chen Kang seemed to understand Shunshan's thoughts, so he said again: "I understand, you must be reluctant to leave here." In the future, I will also move to this neighborhood, let's take the child over, build a shed by this lake, you cook, I will dig the lotus root, let's raise the child together, let's start all over again, okay?"
When Shun Shan heard this, she could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart: "Well, I promise you everything, I promise you everything."
"Hehe, I finally understand what sweet words are called Sweet Words Sai Lijian. I hope your lies can be told for the rest of your life," Yuxue said coldly.
"A liar who can deceive a lifetime can be regarded as a good liar," Yu Wensong answered first.
"Thank you, Miss Yuxue, for being successful," Shun Shan said to Yu Xue.
"You can do whatever you want, I'm tired," said Yuxue, who turned to leave.
Yan Hongjue looked at the back of Yu Xue leaving, and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior Sister Yu Xue, she has been emotionally traumatized, so she is so indifferent. I hope you don't get to blame."
"I see, no wonder this Jade Snow girl looks as cold as ice, but she was also well-intentioned," Youming looked at Yan Hongjue and said.
Yan Hong avoided Youming's eyes, looked at the frolicking birds on the tree outside the window, sighed and said, "Hey, when the master named me the word 'absolute', it was to make me ruthless and loveless, so as to save the suffering." But how can a person be ruthless and loveless? Now I understand that love is the most beautiful thing in the world, and only it can penetrate, love and hate life and death, beauty and ugliness, good and evil, through time and distance, darkness and light. Lucky people can encounter it once in their lives, and they have no regrets in this life. And there are people who are close at hand, but they will never be entitled to it..."
Yan Hongjue was sad in these words, but Yi Dan was speechless. So he comforted: "Sister Yan, please don't be too sad. If it belongs to you, you will meet it after all."
"It's not mine, and it's useless to force it, right? Actually, I know I'm no longer qualified to do so, and you don't have to comfort me. The only mission I have in my life today is to redeem, and I hope to accumulate good karma and cultivate a good reward for the next life," Yan Hong said sadly.
"Jin Chuangyao is here," Yuxiu walked in with the medicine and linen.
"Give it to me, I'll bandage his wounds. Is there boiling water?" said Yi Dan.
"Yes, I brought it too" Yuxiu handed the kettle to Yi Dan.
Yi Dan soaked the sackcloth in boiling water and scalded it for a while, wrung it out and shook it again, applied medicine to the roots of Chen Kang's fingers, and bandaged his fingers one by one with Shun Shan.
