Yijuan cloud

Chapter 3

Yin marriage is to marry a deceased unmarried person.

A few years ago, Xing'er took me to see a family that had a shady marriage.

The owner of the house was a retired official, and the scene was very grand, with blowing and blowing for several days.

I heard that the bride's coffin was transported from other provinces. It had been buried in the ground before, and the grave was raised again. After a long journey, it was buried with the grandson of the official family.

I was sad for a few days.

I felt it was pitiful that they died at such a young age. With someone to accompany them, they would not be alone.

So I don't object to Lin Se finding a partner, but they actually want to pick up this seriously injured man for a secret marriage, which is simply ridiculous!

I blurted out and cursed: "Whose bad idea was this? The person is not dead yet! Are you here to pretend that black and white are impermanent?"

The two boys looked unfamiliar, they should be from Aunt Xue's courtyard.

They were the lowest servants of my family. They were so frightened that they knelt down with a thump and said in a trembling voice: "It was... the master and... Aunt Xue discussed it."

I said: "Have we discussed it? It's not like you people are fooling my father! You go back to Aunt Xue. If you want to have a secret marriage, you can find a witch as soon as possible to tell the matchmaker that the matchmaker is serious! I have never seen such a large number of live people on the roadside. !”

A boy muttered: "He is obviously dead."

Hearing what he said, my heart skipped a beat.

There was such a big movement, but the man didn't even move his eyelids and sat quietly against the wall.

He originally only had one breath left, but now, he won't really die, right?

I was panicking and said angrily: "You bastard, when did you become the King of Hell? Just now he was talking to Xing'er! Isn't it just that he was injured? Xing'er will bring the doctor over soon, and he can be cured in three to five days. Okay, you can go and stay somewhere cool!"

The two boys hurriedly lifted the wooden board on the ground and ran away.

I walked around uneasily for a few steps, thinking that I had to put the injured man somewhere, and then shouted to them: "Come back!"

The boy returned again.

"Put the board down!"

Just as the boy left, Xing'er ran over, dragging the doctor with him.

I quickly said: "Doctor, please take a closer look at his injury. If he needs any medicine, just prescribe it."

The doctor knelt down to inspect the man's injuries. Just as he was about to take action, he raised his head and said, "Girl, please step aside for now. I'm going to untie his clothes."

"Oh." I blushed, turned around quickly, and walked away a few steps.

I lowered my head, played with the short knife, and made random guesses about his identity.

Soon, Xing'er came over and said, "It's an arrow wound. The doctor said he is only [-]% sure that he can be saved."

[-]%, he still has hope of living.

I asked Xing'er to carry him to the hospital.

And I went to the West Courtyard.

When the boys guarding the door saw it was me, they immediately panicked. Some rushed to inform me, while others just kowtowed. I asked them to lead them to find my father.

As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I was greeted by Aunt Xue, who was dressed in plain clothes. She was about to cry. I felt pity for her. After being polite to her, I asked: "Where is my father?"

In the study, my father was writing an elegiac couplet. He didn't even look up even though he knew I was coming.

I had to wait quietly for him to put down his pen, kneel down, kowtow, and wait until he didn't call me to get up. My heart skipped a beat, so I called "Daddy" and was about to stand up.

"Kneel down! Did I tell you to get up?"

My father's sharp shout not only shocked me, but also aroused my rebellious spirit.

I knelt down, but raised my head and said, "Dad is angry with his daughter because he arranged a secret marriage for Lin Se? My daughter doesn't think she did anything wrong..."

"The girl is doing it for the Lin family. That's right. I have to think about it." Aunt Xue came over to help me, and I knelt still.She turned to my father and said sadly: "Master, Sese has left. Don't hurt the relationship between you and the eldest lady because of her."

She didn't mention Linse, but when she mentioned it, it touched my father's sore spot, and he threw the books on the table at me.

"Your sister is dead, and you don't know how to help. You care about a dead person with no name! It's all you can do! Do you think your Aunt Xue and I haven't thought about finding a matchmaker? What is Sesu's identity? She is going to the draft If something happens to a girl, which family would dare to have a secret kiss with her?"

My father has always been strict with me, but he has never done anything to me, let alone in front of Aunt Xue. He clearly doesn't even care about my mother's face!

I knew that he was heartbroken because of Lin Se's death, but I was still very sad, and said louder and louder: "I know that Aunt Xue wanted to ration Se Se because she thought she was well-dressed and had a good family background, but she was so nice If a living person insists on burying a person, isn't this killing people's lives? Besides, even if the person dies, don't think about it. Since he is a good person, how can the family not find him? If he is investigated in the future, Are we, the Lin family, going to be sued?"

My father came out from behind the desk, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was going to hit me: "You are so sharp-tongued, and you are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks in this family! Your Aunt Xue has seen it with her own eyes, that person is There is no way to save him, so why did we harm him? It would be better if he died and was eaten by wild dogs, right?"

I protected my head: "Don't worry, Dad, he has been sent to the hospital and he will not die!"

Seeing that my father was about to call, Aunt Xue held her arm with him.

"Rujie, Rujie." She gently shook my father's arm, helped him sit down, and whispered softly, "The eldest lady is still young. Don't scare her."

After comforting my father, he came over and knelt down in front of me, wiping his tears, and said: "Sese is my life. She suddenly left, and most of my heart died with her. Miss, can you understand a mother?" Are you worried? You don’t blame me for wanting to find that stranger. You don’t know, the next day after Thuse left, the servants said that a boy fell at the door and it seemed that he was dying. Two or three days had passed. It rained again, and I thought that people must be gone. Poor Thurse, and so was he. Moreover, why did he fall in front of my house instead of somewhere else? Maybe the two of them are destined to live together. Give him a place to stay. It can be considered that we have done a good deed, Miss, don’t you think so?”

Although I knew she was a sweetheart, her last words really touched me.

I said, "Anyway, the person has been sent to the hospital. Let's see if he can survive."

After dinner, my mother came to my yard.

She must have known what happened during the day.

After asking the maids to retreat, she took my hand and sat down, looked at me carefully for a while, and said, "Don't blame your father, he feels uncomfortable."

"Aren't I uncomfortable? He still wants to hit me! Since Lin Se is gone, he spends the night in the west courtyard every day. Mom, aren't you uncomfortable?"

My mother shook her head.

"Because Mom still has you and your brother, and because Mom is the official wife of the Lin family's matchmaker. Mom knew from the beginning that what I have is my identity, and what the one in the West Courtyard has is your father's heart, so I don't feel bad."

I thought for a while, hugged my mother, and said, "I will never be like my mother in the future. I want to find someone who cares about me and gives me an identity."

My mother stroked my long hair and said with a smile: "Girl, you are thinking of getting married at such a young age?"

Just as I was talking, there was a commotion outside, and my personal maid Xiaoxia stumbled in and said, "It's not good! There are many bandits coming, all holding such long swords. I heard that several people have been hacked to death!"

At this time, Xing'er also ran over, gasping and saying: "Madam, eldest lady... come with me quickly. My father is dealing with the bandits in front. I can't take care of things now. It's important to save my life!"

Linse's coffin was parked in a side courtyard, with white cloth strips and some paper figures and paper carriages tied to the door.

It's brightly lit, but it makes a great hiding place.

My mother, Xinger, and I hid in the cellar in the yard, thinking that no matter how much the bandits robbed us, they would never come here, and we only had to wait for them to leave before we came out.

Unexpectedly, the gang of madmen didn't even spare the place where the body was buried.

I was in the cellar and clearly heard a man with a rough voice say: "The eldest lady of this family is dead, there must be a lot of good things in the coffin! Let's pry it!"

Another person said: "Prying someone's coffin off, this...isn't good, I...don't dare."

"Why don't you dare? Are you afraid of a dead man? Let's go!"

"I... won't go... won't go..."

In the darkness, I whispered to my mother: "I'll go up and scare them to death!"

"Are you crazy? Don't go!" My mother held my arm tightly.

I said: "Sese passed away miserably. He can no longer be abused after death. Mother, don't worry. I don't believe they are so bold. There is a coffin above the cellar. Xing'er and I will climb up. When the time comes, Xing'er will push the lid of the coffin. I Climb out, don’t believe they are not afraid!”

Xing'er said: "I'm afraid..."

"Then are you going or not?"
