Title: A man is seriously ill and married, and his sister accompanies his sister-in-law instead of his brother, and finds out that his sister-in-law is actually a man late at night
My name is Xiaocui, and I am an ordinary village girl living in this isolated mountain village. My brother is a hard-working and simple man, and he just got married a few days ago. The bride's name is Xiaolian, and she is a gentle woman, and we all thought she would be a virtuous sister-in-law. However, not long after his brother got married, he suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden. I was the only idler in the family, so I took on the responsibility of taking care of my sister-in-law.
As the sunset turned red that day, I walked into my sister-in-law's room with a bowl of hot chicken soup. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, her head bowed and embroidering, her side face looking particularly soft in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Sister-in-law, drink some chicken soup to replenish your body. I whispered.
She looked up, smiled at me, and took the chicken soup, "Thank you, Cui." ”
I sat next to her and watched her drink the soup, my mind full of doubts. Ever since my brother fell ill, I have always felt that my sister-in-law is a little different, but I can't say anything different. There seemed to be a bottomless secret hidden in her eyes.
When night fell, I chatted with my sister-in-law for a while, and then went back to my room to rest. However, lying in bed, I tossed and turned, and there was always an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart. So, I decided to get up quietly and go outside my sister-in-law's room to have a look.
I walked softly to the door of my sister-in-law's room, only to hear a slight noise inside. I leaned close to the crack in the door and saw my sister-in-law standing in front of the bronze mirror, slowly taking off her coat to reveal her corset inside. I was shocked to find that my sister-in-law's body turned out to be a man's!
I couldn't believe my eyes, my heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of my chest. I covered my mouth for fear of screaming.
At this moment, my sister-in-law, no, should I say it, suddenly turned around and met my gaze. A look of consternation flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Xiao Cui, have you seen it all?" His voice was low and magnetic, not at all the gentle female voice that he usually has.
I nodded and stammered, "You, who the hell are you?
He took a deep breath and slowly told his story.
"My name is actually Xiaoyun, and I am a drama who walks the rivers and lakes. Because of her delicate appearance and good at imitating female voices, she is often mistaken for a woman. On that day, your brother saw me performing at the bazaar, and mistook me for a woman, so he went to the court. I wanted to refuse, but seeing that your brother was loyal and honest, and thinking that he was adrift, I agreed. I wanted to confess to him on the wedding night, but unexpectedly he suddenly fell seriously ill. I was afraid of irritating him, so I had to keep it a secret. ”
After listening to his explanation, my fear in my heart subsided slightly, but it was still difficult to accept this fact.
"And what are you going to do now?" I asked.
Xiaoyun was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't want to deceive you, but now that your brother is seriously ill, I can't leave at this time. I will continue to play the role of your sister-in-law until your brother recovers. At that time, I will confess everything to him and leave it at his disposal. ”
I looked at his determined eyes, and the doubts in my heart slowly dissipated. Perhaps, this man named Xiaoyun really did this out of helplessness. I decided to help him through this together.
As the days passed, my brother's condition gradually improved. Xiaoyun and I also became more and more acquainted, he taught me to sing and act, and I helped him hide his identity and take care of his daily life. A special kind of trust and dependence has gradually been established between us.
Finally, one day, my brother was able to get out of bed and walk around. He looked at Xiaoyun with gratitude and love in his eyes. I knew it was time for Xiaoyun to confess everything to him.
That night, the moonlight sprinkled like water in the courtyard. Xiao Yun stood in front of his brother, took a deep breath, and told the secret that had been hidden for a long time. I stood nervously on the sidelines, afraid that my brother would not be able to accept this fact.
However, to my surprise, my brother didn't react much after hearing this. He was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head, looked at Xiaoyun and said, "Actually, I already knew that you were a man. ”
Xiaoyun and I both looked at him in shock, unable to understand his words.
The elder brother smiled slightly and explained, "On the wedding night, I discovered your secret. But I didn't debunk you, because I knew you must have your troubles. Over the past few days, your careful care and selfless dedication have made me feel your kindness and sincerity. So, whether you are a man or a woman, I will always love and cherish you. ”
Hearing this, Xiaoyun was moved to tears. I was also touched by my brother's tolerance and affection. At that moment, I understood what true love is – it transcends the boundaries of gender, it is only about the heart and the heart.
From then on, Xiaoyun no longer needed to hide his identity, and he and his brother lived happily ever after. And under their influence, I have learned to let go of prejudices and fears, and to understand and accept every soul who is different. This experience made me deeply realize that in the face of love, gender is really not so important. What matters is the mutual attraction and fit of the two hearts.
Okay, let's continue the story.
Since that day, the relationship between my brother and Xiaoyun has deepened. The rumors in the village also slowly subsided over time, and people began to accept this unusual relationship. Xiaoyun also gradually adapted to rural life, he let go of his identity as a drama and became a real farmer, farming with his brother and taking on the responsibilities of the family together.
However, the peaceful life did not last long. On a sunny afternoon, a group of strangers suddenly came to the village. They were dressed in brocade clothes, and at a glance they knew that they were not ordinary people. The leader was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, his eyes sharpened, scanning everyone in the village.
"Who's in charge here?" the middle-aged man asked aloud.
The village chief walked out tremblingly, "I'm the village chief here, I don't know what the adults are doing?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "We're here to find someone." Is there a play named Xiaoyun in your village?"
The village chief was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction where Xiaoyun and his brother were. Xiao Yun frowned, as if he realized something. The elder brother held his hand tightly, conveying comfort and strength to him.
The middle-aged man followed the village chief's gaze and saw Xiaoyun, "It's him!
As soon as the words fell, a group of subordinates rushed up and tried to catch Xiaoyun. The elder brother stepped forward and protected Xiaoyun in front of him, "Who are you, why did you take him away?"
"Hmph, he's a fugitive slave from our troupe, and we've been looking for him for a long time. Finally let us find it today!" the middle-aged man sneered.
Xiaoyun's face changed, "I'm not a fugitive slave, I was deceived by them!"
"Liar, do you think someone will believe your nonsense, take it away!" the middle-aged man waved impatiently.
A scuffle ensued, and his brother and Xiaoyun struggled to resist the strangers. The villagers also stepped forward to help, but in the end, they could not resist the well-trained men. Seeing that Xiaoyun was about to be taken away, his brother suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Everyone stopped and looked at their brother. The elder brother took a deep breath, "If you have to take him, then knock me down first!"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I don't dare?"
"No, that's not what I meant. The elder brother shook his head and said, "I just want to say that he is not a fugitive slave, but my family." If you have to take him away, step over my corpse!"
These words moved everyone present. The middle-aged man was also stunned, he obviously didn't expect that there would be such a person with deep affection in this small village. He stared at his brother for a long time, and then suddenly burst out laughing, "Okay! Since you say so, then I'll give you a chance." If you can muster together a thousand taels of silver to ransom him within three days, I will let him go!"
One thousand taels of silver is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for this small village. But in order to save Xiaoyun, the villagers donated generously, and some even did not hesitate to sell their property to raise silver taels. The elder brother and Xiaocui also ran around asking for help.
In the evening of the last day, when the elder brother and Xiaocui rushed to the entrance of the village with the 1,000 taels of silver they had raised with great difficulty, they found that Xiaoyun and those strangers were gone. It turned out that the middle-aged man was just a delaying tactic, and he had already planned to sneak away.
The elder brother and Xiaocui were stunned for a long time and did not speak, and finally the elder brother clenched his fists and said, "I will definitely find you!" Since then, he has embarked on a journey to find Xiaoyun, and Xiaocui has also chosen to stay at home and wait for his brother and Xiaoyun to return.
A few years later, he finally had a clue and found the traces of the troupe in a bustling city, so his brother did not hesitate to embark on the road to that city, and after experiencing countless hardships and hardships, he finally found the troupe and found Xiaoyun, who thought about it day and night, Xiaoyun at this time has become a pillar in the troupe, but his heart has never changed.
When he saw his brother who suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiaoyun burst into tears with excitement, and the two hugged each other tightly as if they wanted to integrate their thoughts and concerns over the past few years into this hug, and the brother also shed tears of happiness, and they finally reunited after a lot of hardships.
After that, the elder brother and Xiaoyun explained the situation to the troupe owner and paid off the ransom silver taels, and then returned to their hometown with Xiaoyun, and the villagers cheered when they saw them returning, and Xiaocui also ran over excitedly and hugged her brother and Xiaoyun tightly.
Since then, they have lived a peaceful and happy life, although their lives are not rich, but they are full of warmth and happiness. This experience also made the elder brother, Xiaoyun and Xiaocui cherish their relationship with each other even more, and they understand that only after experiencing hardships and setbacks will the relationship be deeper and stronger.
