Chapter 18: Tianxin (Sixth)

Chu Liang searched through all the cabinets, both large and small, and found nothing in the house. Except for some scattered silver and small silver notes, even these unexpected gains were taken into his arms.

After turning around for a long time, he focused his attention on the dressing table. Although he knew that there was no place for a lute, he still held some hope and hoped to find some clues.

Thinking about it quickly, he moved over quickly and began to search.

Mrs. Chu knew very well what the hell was he trying to do with such a thing.

"Have you found it?" She sat up with her body, her voice dry and silenced, and it sounded like it was squeezed out of her lungs.

She suddenly spoke, and her voice shocked Chu Liang. She turned her head and was stunned for a long time before she struggled to bring out an ugly smile.

"Madam, what do you think I'm looking for? Isn't this a comb?" He turned his back to the dressing table, touched a comb casually, and raised it up, "I, I see that your hair is snuggling on the pillow, I want to help you comb it!" This panic was really good. I believe she has been deceived like this over the years.

Although his heart was like a mirror, Mrs. Chu was still a little moved. After all, those former loves were still vivid in my mind. "I was lazy to get up and take off my eyebrows and make up and wash my clothes." I still couldn't let go of the past feelings. I wanted to scold him loudly, but I couldn't open my mouth.

When he approached, Chu Liang sat down on the edge of the bed: "Madam, I was wrong about what happened before!" He reached out and held Mrs. Chu's cold hand. He said, "I have sent Yan'er away. From now on, let's live a good life and ignore those gossips, okay?"

"Do you take it seriously?" Mrs. Chu understood that she should be rational. The man said all lies, but she was still lingering in her heart.

She never asked for too much, not even her wealth or wealth. She just wanted to be with her husband and live together until old age, but everything that happened was contrary to her thoughts.

No, she gritted her teeth and decided not to believe anything he said, nor did she hope that he would suddenly change his temper and become a new person, although she had thought so secretly before.

"I, Chu Liang, swear to the sky that from now on, I will only be kind to my wife and never have any affair with other women. I will study hard and treat my wife well, gain fame as soon as possible, and teach her to live a decent and comfortable life!" As if afraid that she would not believe it, Chu Liang raised his right hand and closed his fingers together, and actually made a vow.

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

"Chenchengcheng, it's a success!" Chu Liang nodded anxiously when he heard this, but had another plan in his heart. He tricked her back first. As long as he got the pipa, he would not be difficult to sweep her out.

"I'm not going like this. I'll lose my etiquette when I see my parents-in-law!" I slowly walked to the already messy dressing table and sat down. Mrs. Chu turned around and said, "You wait for me outside. I'll come out when I'm done!"

Nodding, Chu Liang didn't even ask any more questions, so he opened the door. From the bronze mirror, she happened to see his impatient expression.

From the pile of clothes thrown on the ground, I found a flower-colored skirt I wore when I was a girl and put it on.

Facing the bronze mirror, he began to dress up.

"When the window is used to clean my hair, I put the flowers on the mirror!" Although Mrs. Chu did not "take off my war robe", she also took off her torn clothes and put on her old clothes.

Looking at myself in the bronze mirror, his appearance is still beautiful, but he is full of fatigue and vicissitudes. He is obviously a beautiful person like a flower, but he has misunderstood others in these more than ten years of great time.

She pushed open the door and her voice was cold: "Honey, can you go to the place where we meet again?" As she said that, she pulled up Chu Liang's sleeves.

At first, he was stunned, and Chu Liang's face full of conspiracy also showed a look of nostalgia.

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

The two of them walked on the gravel road that was covered with weeds and arrived at the well in the backyard.

"Do you still remember?" Madam Chu asked softly, "That year, we were the same. The two of us were alone together. I played the pipa and you recited poems and lyrics. The scene was in my heart, as if yesterday!" She said, and walked around the other side of the well and pulled out a rope from the edge. "Do you still remember this pipa?" She pulled the rope hard, and slowly pulled out a pipa from the well, and the sun shone through the water of the well, shining with crystal light.

Chu Liang did not speak, but stared at her calmly, motionless.

Holding the pipa in his hand, gently wiped the well water soaked with his sleeves on the zither's body. Mrs. Chu sat by the well. Her ten fingers disappeared from the slender, white and tenderness that were as green as before, and she was no longer as flexible as rhinoceros, but she could still play a nice melody.

Isn’t the scene in front of you the same as before!

At this moment, Chu Liang's heart suddenly felt ache and he felt a little regretful. However, this little conscience that was moved by this feeling and scene was immediately swallowed up by the greedy ocean like a snatch of the ocean.

What he stared at was not the tired and haggard woman in front of him, but the smooth and beautiful piano in her hand.

Suddenly, Mrs. Chu pressed her hand on the strings that were still singing loudly just now, and the nice melody came to an abrupt end.

"My husband, do you want this pipa?" She stood up and held it in front of Chu Liang, "Then I'll give it to you!"

He took the pipa tremblingly, and a puzzled light appeared in Chu Liang's eyes: "Madam, is this?"

Shaking his head, a bright smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Chu's mouth, and then she suddenly stepped onto the well.

"What are you doing?" Chu Liang didn't know why he grabbed her and showed fear, "Madam, come down quickly, it's dangerous!"

He should have been hoping that she would die, but why couldn't he let go of her hand holding her tightly?

"Down?" Mrs. Chu's face was filled with relief and quietness. "If you get what you want, let me go!" Tears flowed out, shining brightly under the sunlight. "When I arrive at Naihe Bridge, I will definitely ask the Meng Po for an extra bowl of soup to drink, and I will completely forget you. If there is a next life, I just want to not meet you again!"

"Why are you doing this?" Chu Liang was a little unhappy, and his hands loosened as he spoke.

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

"Madam!" Chu Liang lay on the edge of the well. I don't know if he was really sad or too happy, but he screamed and burst into tears.

But the well, like a big mouth, swallowed the poor woman, was calm and quiet, as if no one had jumped in.

Chu Liang waited for a long time, but no one was floating. When he saw no one around, he wrapped the pipa in his arms and left in a hurry.

As his disappearing back, the environment gradually blurred and gradually changed back to a familiar scene - my piano music was loud...

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

I took out my handkerchief and walked over and hugged her in my arms. While wiping the tears on her face, I sighed: "This is Mrs. Chu's life. Perhaps, for her, death is the best relief!"

My words were so faint that they didn't taste much, but my heart was mixed, my eyes were a little swollen, but I couldn't shed a single tear.

Snuggling in my arms, Lin'er still cried all the time, crying so hard and so sad.

So, I had to hug her quietly, and used a "combination", and then returned to the Tianswallow Stone.

A few days later, the door suddenly became very lively. Lin'er, who was drooping his head and dusting the soil with his feather duster in the store, was attracted.

"Princess, let's go and have a look!" She hung the guy in her hand on the wall next to the counter, and she came to me.

When there was no one next to us, she still liked to call me princess, and when there was no one next to us, she would call me Miss.

After pinching my fingers, I continued to fiddle with the abacus beads, and while using a brush to record it in the account book, I didn't even raise my eyes: "What's so good about it? It's just that some people cheated the wealthy family of money and were caught!"

"Pank" and slapped on the table. Lin'er said dissatisfiedly: "Princess, just accompany me. Can't I help you settle the debt later?"

After looking at her face, which was obviously a snake spirit, she looked like she was in a hurry. I nodded helplessly and agreed.

After leaving the store and locked it, the two of us followed the crowd to watch the fun.

It turned out that Chu Liang took the pipa and sold it to Cai Yuanwai, a big man in the city. As a result, he was said to be just a fake, so he asked to return the money. Chu Liang was naturally unresponsive and insisted that he cheated on him and even cheated others.

As a result, is Cai Yuanwai easy to mess with? He hired a servant and beat him up, but he actually broke one of his arms and legs.

Poor Yan'er was excited and fell heavily with a big belly. As a result, on the way to the clinic, she passed away due to excessive blood loss.

The two elders of the Chu family cried at home and cried out in the sky, but they didn't get half of their sympathy. It seems that Feng Zhun had to take care of this son who was beaten so hard that he could not take care of himself and survived in this world.

......

On New Year's Eve, Lin'er and I sat down in the store with wine.

"Lin'er, go and pick up some dessert fruits, add the food in the basket, and send them to the Chu family!" He pointed to the things placed on the counter, and I drank the wine in the glass in one go.

"Okay! No matter what, they are the princess's people. Even if they do evil things, they can't watch them starve to death!" According to my instructions, Lin'er prepared the things and stood at the door, "I'll go back and don't fall asleep, princess!"

Maybe she saw that I was tired, she turned around and reminded.

Nodded slightly, I opened my red lips lightly and responded "Yes".

Lin'er wrapped her coat and opened the door and went out.

The sound of wind chimes mixed with a cold wind, and the noisy sound of silk and bamboo firecrackers outside, floated into the store and lingered by me.

Although she would not fall asleep after answering, at this moment, I could not resist the sleepiness that swept across the sky. I leaned on the table, held my forehead with my hand and fell asleep.
