"Well, as soon as the host left, a dozen people broke into the inn, clamoring to stay and eat. We explained that the host was closed during the wedding period, but they didn't listen. They only asked for good wine and good food, and they still
He was about to hit someone, but Long Captou and the others happened to be patrolling the street and came in to stop him, so they stopped.
Long Baotou asked people to guard the yard, lest anyone make trouble again. Unexpectedly, another person appeared who wanted to force his way in to see his boss. The two sides started fighting, and they couldn't tell each other for a while.
At this moment, County Lieutenant Mu came, looked at the man's physical examination form, and said that if that man could beat him, he could take him to see his employer directly without waiting for a set of steps such as changing to a green sign or a red sign.
So the two of them flew over the eaves and walked over the wall, and went to compete in martial arts somewhere. Long Baotou was worried and chased after him. I don't know if he caught up."
Sun Chenxian explained patiently.
But I was even more confused: "Then who is the person who forced his way in? Is there a physical examination form? He also signed up?"
"Yes." Sun Chenxian nodded: "Didn't my boss say he wanted to go out to relax? As soon as he left, he came and said he wanted to register for marriage. I registered him, gave him a physical examination form and asked him to go to Huichun Hall.
Generally, those who go to Huichun Hall have to wait for three to five days. Even if there are fewer people now, they have to wait at least until the next day. But he came back in less than a quarter of an hour. I saw that Dr. Li's name was on his physical examination form.
It's signed and stamped, so it shouldn't be fake. Tell me, why is he so fast?"
Hearing what he said, I also thought of the whole process of my marriage proposal. There is indeed no absolute fairness in this world. I didn't do it because Du Xiuzhen gave me a back door, saving me the time to make an appointment for a physical examination, and because Mrs. Mu looked at me differently.
Treat each other and get the wallet smoothly?
"Since he's registered, he should know his background, right?" I asked, and an idea flashed in my mind. Could it be another trick?
"Oh, he said that his hometown is in Chang'an. He has been displaced since the Anshi Rebellion. He just arrived in Xiangzhou City this morning. He wanted to settle down here, so he participated in the marriage proposal. He..."
"Chen Xian, Chen Xian! Go and tidy up the backyard with Shitou. There are leaves all over the ground and there is nowhere to stay." Uncle Fu's voice came.
"oh!"
Sun Chenxian responded and ran to get busy. The doubts in my heart could only be put aside for the time being.
Today's registration is coming to an end, and in a few days all the applicants will have been assessed. I don't know who the purse I returned will be given to, and I don't know who Mrs. Mu will end up with.
However, all this has nothing to do with me. In her mind, I have become a playboy who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot. The relationship between me and her may still be regarded as a friend, or just a simple business partner.
I returned home feeling dizzy and started cleaning some household items for making tofu as usual. A gust of wind blew, and my hands that had just been soaked in well water were so cold that they became numb.
Looking at the fallen leaves rolling on the ground in the courtyard, I can't help but feel a little sad. Isn't a person's life just like these leaves? They bud in the spring breeze, grow in the summer rain, wither in the autumn wind, and then are covered with snow and gradually fade away.
for dust.
The breath of winter is really getting closer and closer, and it is only early in the morning, and the sky has already begun to get dark. I came to the courtyard gate and looked towards the path, but I still couldn't see my mother-in-law.
"Brother Li? Why are you standing here?" Before waiting for Auntie, Yang Mosheng came back. He looked into the yard and said, "What? Auntie hasn't come back yet?"
"No." My heart was in my throat. Thinking of what happened to Wang Jiajia, I really panicked. Something might have happened to my mother-in-law.
"Didn't the aunt say where she went?"
I shook my head and said, "I didn't go into details. She only embroidered some embroidery and sold it in the streets every day. At most, she went to Yunyin Temple to burn incense. She didn't have any relatives in the city. She wouldn't go home until dark.
.”
"Don't worry too much yet, maybe something has delayed you."
Is something delayed? What is it? My heart trembled. If Yang Mosheng was really careful, then if he said something was wrong with Grandma, that means they did something to Grandma. Did they also tie up Grandma?
I grabbed Yang Mosheng and tried to suppress the anger in my heart: "No, grandma will be fine. Brother Yang, can you accompany me to look for her?"
"good."
I held up the lantern and left the yard. I stopped for a moment in front of Wang Jiajia's yard and thought about it not to disturb the father and daughter.
"Brother Li, slow down." Yang Mosheng jogged a few steps to catch up with me. Because it was dark, his pace was a little messy.
"It's so late, and I still don't know where my mother is." I looked at the ink-stained world and felt panicked.
Is A Niang really missing? Is it related to them? Looking at Yang Mosheng Wenwen's weak look, I should be able to subdue him, but I don't know if there are any guards hiding around him at the moment. He is a craftsman, and if I force him to ask, he will surrender.
Auntie? No, this will definitely reveal my identity and disrupt Xiao Mu's plan.
"Who is it? Jianghu?"
Just when I was worried, a familiar voice came. I looked closely and saw a figure staggering towards us.
"Aniang, Aniang." I rushed over and grabbed her hand: "Why did you come back just now?"
"Ah! My feet." As soon as my mother took a step, she fell over towards me. Through the weak light of the lantern, I could see that she was sweating profusely.
"Are you okay, aunt?"
"What's wrong with the foot?" I also asked. I leaned over and looked. I couldn't see the injury clearly. I could only smell the smell of blood.
"Injured by a trap."
"Come on, grandma, let me carry you. Brother Yang." I handed the lantern to Yang Mosheng and carried grandma on my back: "Where have you been? How could you step on the trap?"
"Probably Shen Shichu, I don't know who is so wicked, and deliberately asked someone to send me a message, saying that you had an accident when you were out at Xicheng Gate. I didn't believe it at first, and I went to the door of Jianghu Inn, but I didn't see you.
The figure asked Ah Wu, and he pointed to the west and said, "You have something urgent to leave."
I rushed outside the city and searched around but couldn't find you. I was about to go back to ask Fatty Wang for help. Unexpectedly, I stepped on a pile of fallen leaves and found a trap buried in it. It was obviously a small road. Who would know that?
Are you setting a trap there? Isn’t this intentional to hurt people?”
My mother-in-law moaned and told me what happened, while cursing people angrily. I realized that she had moved back from the outside of the city step by step with her injuries. She also found herbal medicine along the way and crushed it with stones to apply it.
foot.
She said that at the beginning of Shen Shishi, Wang Jiajia and I were waiting at the county government office for Mrs. Mu to come and ask questions. Of course we were not at the Jianghu Inn. Aniang must have learned through Ah Wu that I had not returned for a long time, so she anxiously left the city to look for her.
I stepped into the trap in a panic.
The timing of all this is so clever. Are they giving me a warning? Let me know their methods and make me worry that they will be detrimental to the people around me at any time...
Yang Mosheng held up a lantern and lit it in front of him. He turned around and asked hypocritically: "So it's definitely not the work of a hunter. I wonder if my aunt has ever offended anyone in her daily life?"
"How can this be possible? Who can I offend? This guy who killed a thousand swords must be so boring and so harmful!" Aniang couldn't calm down her anger, muttering about the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the person who caused her injury.
Greetings over and over again.
I carefully observed Yang Mosheng's reaction, and there didn't seem to be much disturbance. Maybe he was just calm on the surface, and he didn't know how angry he was in his heart. Haha, you dare to be angry but don't dare to show off! Such meticulous work is really cowardly.
"Hey, we're here. Jiajia! Jiajia!" Seeing that we were almost home, Aniang patted my back and stopped at Wang Jiajia's door.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Wang Jiajia, wearing an apron around her waist, asked in surprise.
"It's okay, I accidentally hurt my foot. Come, this is the longevity lock I went to Yunyin Temple to pray for you in the morning. Come, wear it." Auntie said, got off my back, and leaned in the courtyard.
On the door, a walnut-sized copper lock was placed around Wang Jiajia's neck.
"Thank you, mother, it's so beautiful." Wang Jiajia praised, carefully put the longevity lock into her collar, and supported her: "Are you seriously injured? I still have gold sore medicine at home, I will apply it on you soon."
"Okay, okay, it's okay. It's your birthday today, and I was thinking of making you something delicious. I didn't expect..."
"Haha, Mom, it doesn't matter. I'm old now. Don't worry, I will never treat myself badly. I just made noodles and will cook longevity noodles in a while. Mom, you haven't eaten yet. I'll just cook more.
"
Wang Jiajia put her mother's arm on her shoulders and helped her jump back to the room. She fetched water, cleaned the wound, and applied medicine. Fatty Wang also came over to say hello, and they ate longevity noodles together as a companion.
Wang Jiajia passed away.
I felt extremely embarrassed, as if she was a transparent person. That ugly girl had grown so big in a flash, and her increasingly confident temperament had already covered the scars on her face. That girl who had been clinging to me since childhood, that girl who had always been clinging to me.
My heart is full of my girl, but she didn't even look at me tonight. This makes me extremely disappointed, and my whole heart feels colder than the cold wind outside.
…
When I got up the next day, the most important thing for me was to check on my grandma’s injury. Yesterday I saw Wang Jiajia cleaning her wound, and I felt that the injury was quite serious. Although grandma endured the whole process without moaning, there was a big bruise on her forehead.
The sweat and trembling body all expressed her pain.
"Aniang, Aniang, are you awake? Is your foot feeling better?" I knocked on the door and called.
Unexpectedly, grandma didn't respond.
I pressed harder, but still no response.
"What's wrong? Isn't Auntie in the room?" Yang Mosheng also left the room and patted the door: "Auntie, Auntie, are you in the room?"
Still no movement... Auntie... My heart trembled, could it be...
Without thinking too much, I kicked it away. The door finally opened, and my mother was still lying on the bed motionless.
"Why is it so hot! Grandma, Grandma, wake up!" Looking at Grandma's red face, I panicked and shook her body vigorously.
"Water..." Auntie murmured, her eyes moved, but she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes to look at me.
"Auntie! Auntie!" Yang Mosheng also shouted from the side looking anxious.
"Aniang, it's okay. I'll send you to see the doctor right now!" I lifted the quilt, grabbed a coat and put it on Aniang, and ran out with her on my back. This chapter has been completed!
