"Coming and Not Coming" | Zhang Yang

"Xunyang Jiangtou sends guests at night, and the maple leaves and flowers are autumn and serene." Talking about the day of the Xiangshan resident, he was demoted to Jiangzhou, swam to the riverside, and the pipa sounded a song, and gave him the "Pipa Line".

　　Xunyang, riverside.

　　The sun is full moon, the egret frogs are singing, the sunset in the distance is reflected in the sky, and the rivers and rivers are long and mountainous.

　　"Gongzi, Xunyang has arrived, and here along the road ten miles south is Xunyang City."

　　"Thank you very much, the boat fare is a lot, don't shirk it."

　　"Gongzi, Gongzi, the amount of money that was previously given to the early super liveaboard is very large, and now it is impossible to collect it again, and please ask the Gongzi to take it back."

　　"Please be careful on the way back, although it is not far away, it will take four or five hours." See you here in seven days. ”

　　"It was previously established, just according to what the prince said."

　　Xunyang here, has long heard, for the "Pipa Line", the heart to the long, now here, no pipa sound no pipa woman, silent thoughts without infinite things.

　　The road agricultural vehicles are brought together, arriving at the edge of Xunyang City, all the children and teenagers are playing here, the grass is empty, Keju is the most lively and ordinary, on a whim to join it, when the dark city gate is closed, enter Xunyang City.

　　At the right time, a young man, called Qing, fourteen years old, pointed out the way, the inn is easy to find.

　　Late at night, the joy of keju is still there, and it has long disturbed dreams.

　　In the early morning, I asked Xiao Er, bought a keju in the market, and went to the place where yesterday was playing. It was still early, except for two or three people, the children did not see a single one, playing alone in front of the dead tree, did not think, only dozens of feet, keju was destroyed on the spot.

　　"It is really an evil merchant, a traitor," he said, with a dark hatred in his heart, kicking in the distance, no longer interested, turning back to the city and wandering in the street.

　　Frustrated, a small shop came into view - "not coming", this name is interesting, there is no one to sell in front of the door, there is no display of things, only a plaque on it, so curious, go forward and flick the door in, a girl came to the front, pulled the sleeve, "Brother, brother, don't go in, there are evil people eating people." ”

　　"Cannibalism? Little sister has seen? ”

　　"I've seen it, I've seen it, I saw someone go in last night and never come out."

　　"Then why aren't you afraid and don't tell your parents?"

　　"I said it, but they didn't believe it."

　　"Well, I'll go in and see, my brother is catching fast."

　　"Hey, big brother, big brother..."

　　Ignoring the little girl, she reached out and flicked the curtain and entered.

　　There is a case displayed in the store, no small two come forward to greet, a woman stands in front of the case, Xu is able to hear the door, is looking up will look over, four eyes facing each other, "Gongzi please enter, wait for the slave family to finish, later to say." ”

　　There were four chairs next to the case, and they sat down, and the article was full of letters, not knowing what it meant.

　　After the tea time passed, the woman sat opposite: "Gongzi is not strange." ”

　　"No problem."

　　"The prince does not have to look like this, nor does he have to ask more, thinking that the prince is the first to come here, he does not know the inside story, the slave family will tell each other, there are nine or nine letters on the table, there are poems in the letters, small characters are recorded in the numbers, the slave family first remembers a number first, the prince takes one from it, if it is consistent, then the prince will command for a day, if it is inconsistent, the prince will go away and no longer pester."

　　"All by luck?"

　　"Yes, no silver two, no promises, just one game, no matter who it is, it can be once."

　　"What if you want to do it twice?"

　　"Advise the prince not to think, play or not to play, at this time the prince can choose."

　　"So interesting, why not play", 'a remnant of the sun paved the water, half of the river is half red. Poor three nights in the beginning of September, dew like a pearl moon like a bow. The bottom fruit of the "Twilight River Yin" has small characters thirty-one. ”

　　"Gongzi please see, the number recorded by the slave family is seven, I think it is not related to the gongzi, please come back."

　　"Girl's name?"

　　"Since there is no reason, why ask each other, the prince should not be persistent."

　　"Good,Reunion."

　　"Gongzi, the name of the shop 'coming and not coming', please ask the gongzi to think."

　　"Don't bother the girl, please stay."

　　Just out of the store, the girl had not yet left, "Brother, brother, have you found the evil person?" ”

　　"Rest assured, the brother has arrested the evil man, and the little sister should not be afraid."

　　"Well, the big brother has caught the evil man and caught him," said the girl, turning and running, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

　　On the way back, he accidentally met yesterday's Keju boy - Qing, when chatting, he knew that the girl was ten years old at the time, named Fang Fang, her father had disappeared a month ago, and then Yu XunyangJiang was found, and the official government sentenced that she had lost her footing after drinking, leaving the mother and daughter in the world, which was really pitiful.

　　Back to the inn, today's events are more interesting than yesterday's Keju, and 'going without coming' is also quite interesting, and so is the girl.

　　Tomorrow I will look at it again, if I meet the girl, I will help myself to comfort my heart, but what the girl said is not assured, I only feel that yesterday is interesting, and her words are not in my heart, but I am slightly suspicious.

　　At night, on the Xunyang River, the boat chatted about the Lai Galaxy; raised a glass to drink with the moon, overheard the distant piano sound; the sound of wine entering the throat was near, but it was a girl in the shop.

　　Woke up in the morning, unconsciously to yesterday, but today did not see the girl, the store is yesterday's situation, forgot yesterday's girl's words, into the store, the furnishings are the same.

　　"What happened when the prince came today?" The girl seemed to guess that the person was me, and her eyes did not look squarely.

　　"Don't blame the girl, she just passed by by accident, and for a moment forgot what the girl said yesterday, and then pushed the door in."

　　"If that's the case, please come back."

　　"It's okay, but now that you're in, play yesterday's game again."

　　"Yesterday I explained to the prince that the prince really should not come today, so let him leave."

　　"Since this prince has spoken, he will not leave, and if he has any request, he will not say anything."

　　"The gongzi insists like this, the slave family is not embarrassed, or yesterday's rules, the rewards and punishments need to be changed, if there is no consistency, the gongzi will let the slave family command for one day, if it is consistent, then the slave family will let the gongzi ask about it."

　　"Change things one day at a time, fairly."

　　"The slave family advised the prince yesterday, even if it is a precursor, the prince is only afraid that it is difficult to achieve what he wants, please see - the number in the palm of his hand is 'seven',"

　　"Girl, please look here."

　　"Cold blue new autumn water, residual red half broken lotus." Never lost, not like this pool. "Longchang Temple Lotus Pond" small characters are 'seven'".

　　"Why, why is this so?"

　　"Can the girl tell you your surname at this time?"

　　"The slave's name is Qiao."

　　"According to what the qiao girl thinks, is there any correspondence between the envelopes and the poems hidden here?"

　　"Yes. Although the woman apologized for the teasing, she also said it. ”

　　"Then why is this sealed?" As expected by the girl. ”

　　"The number is from the relatives, the seals are transcribed by me, and I don't know why there is an accident."

　　"It's strange, but if the girl imposes a denial, I can't either."

　　"Gongzi laughed, the little girl is three or nine years old, although the family is late, but it has been three years, only because Ai Lang often goes out, he came up with this pastime, why lie."

　　"Interesting is also interesting, but there is still one thing that is not clear, I hope to solve the puzzle."

　　"Son, please say."

　　"The girl said yesterday that there are nine or nine here, but do you still count them today?"

　　"Count."

　　"I dare to count them one by one."

　　"Gongzi has good eyesight, and no matter how clever he is at hiding the sky and crossing the sea, he can't defeat Gongzi's wisdom." He said and took out a letter from behind him and put it on the case.

　　While speaking, a man in the back hall came out, greeted the qiao girl and went out, without looking at the people in the hall.

　　Just as I was wondering, I heard a noise coming from outside the house, "You adulterer has not returned all night, if you are really here, quickly call out your good friend to show the old lady." ”

　　"Hurry up and roll."

　　The woman quarreled outside, which was a common thing, but no one came forward to persuade her, and the effort stopped.

　　"Gongzi, sit first, even if you lose, the slave family will admit it, and what the prince wants to know, even if he opens his mouth."

　　"Choosing a day is to hit the sun, the girl acts so differently, I want to hear about the girl, I don't know if it is convenient or not."

　　"Just yi gongzi, please wait a while, allowing you to serve tea first."

　　"The slave family is a local person, the father is a good year, the ancestor is engaged in the tea business, the mother is separated from the forest, the father died at a young age, he was pulled by the mother, but the mother did not have the heart to run a business, when the slave family was eighteen years old, recruited a son-in-law Xiang Gan, and died of illness in the same year, the family business was done by the husband and the heart, so that it is now stable."

　　"Miss Qiao, the poems in the letter are all written by Mr. Drunken Yin, dare you ask?"

　　"I heard that my grandmother had the privilege of having a while with her, and when I was young, my mother always taught her, and I didn't dare to forget it, and my heart went on for a long time."

　　"Tomorrow I will borrow a volume of his own poems to express my unity of heart." More to say, the man just now? ”

　　"It's Ai Lang Xiang Gan."

　　"Then why?"

　　"I'm afraid I'm worried in my heart, so I didn't see my son."

　　"Not for this reason, what was said just outside the house, the girl didn't hear it?"

　　"The woman was also a poor man, and when her husband died some time ago, she went mad and talked nonsense all day, and the people were already accustomed to it, but the poor orphan and widow left behind, and they did not know how to live in the future."

　　"So, which party is his daughter?"

　　"Yes, how do you know the prince?"

　　"I saw it yesterday."

　　Having solved the confusion in his heart, he made a small talk for two sentences, and left with a sound.

　　When you go out in the morning, the sky is as clear as a wash, but in the blink of an eye, there are more dark clouds in the early afternoon, and I don't know when and where to drift.

　　Turning the corner, a woman suddenly whispered in her ear, "Gongzi, Gongzi, don't look back, listen to a few words, Gongzi please leave this place quickly, don't stay any longer, the reason for this can't be clear in one or two sentences, and please remember the Gongzi in your heart." ”

　　Turning around, there was no figure, and when he was wondering, he found the figure of Qing in front of him, who seemed to be following a person.

　　Back at the inn, I just lay down and rested.

　　"Son, in the room?" Someone outside was looking for it. The innkeeper shouted outside the room.

　　"What a man," there are no relatives or friends here, and I don't know who has come to find them.

　　"I don't know, it's a girl, she looks like a teenager."

　　"Got it, I'll go down."

　　"Big brother, big brother, you live here," it was Fang Fang.

　　"Fang Fang, how do you know that your brother lives here, and how do your parents..." Suddenly remembered something, and for a moment did not know how to continue.

　　"There are three inns here, and if you look for them, you will find them, big brother, I told my mother."

　　"Your father..."

　　"They all said my father had gone out of town and would be back in a few days,"

　　"Yeah, yeah, will come back, will come back, right Fang, are you looking for me for anything?"

　　"It was Aunt Qiao who asked me to look for you and say that I would go to her place for dinner at night."

　　"Well, who else?"

　　"And Uncle Xiang."

　　"Well, then you go back and tell them that my brother is over at night." Fang Fang replied, turned and ran out, I suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Fang Fang, you come back, this is some silver two, you take it back and give it to your mother, just say that your father entrusted a friend to bring it to the family." ”

　　"Well, thank you Big Brother." Fang Fang turned around and ran out again.

　　"This child, alas... It's really pitiful, who will take care of it in the future? ”

　　Fang Fang ran back again, "Big brother, it's dark at night, remember not to drink, be careful that you are drunk and frozen on the road, hehe." ”

　　"Well, just listen to Fang Fang, go back quickly, pay attention to safety on the road."

　　I think it is the simple folk customs of Xunyang, walking in the streets of the city, a quiet and peaceful, occasionally children crying with a few dog barks, it seems quiet.

　　However, the moonlight is not popular, it should be a full moon, but the clouds cover most of it, which is really annoying.

　　Before arriving at the store, Qiao Girl was standing in front of the door, as if waiting for someone, "Gongzi, I'm really sorry, there is something really wrong tonight, tomorrow I apologize in person, and I also ask gongzi to go back." ”

　　"It wasn't waiting for me, but I was sentimental." The heart thought like this, but did not say so, "It doesn't matter, the girl's business is important, tomorrow I will come back to bother and say goodbye." ”

　　"The boy walks slowly." The dark clouds completely covered this month, as if they wanted to hide it, so that the world could not see it, which was really selfish.

　　Xu is not vain in the night, Xu is in a hurry to go, and the two men actually bump into each other in the street.

　　"The boy is all right, they all blame me for being too hasty."

　　"It's okay, walk the night, why are you in such a hurry, are you..."

　　"Don't guess, I'm not a villain."

　　"Then you are..."

　　"Just as you come to bear witness, if it is a real thing, just come out to help your brother testify, there will be a heavy thanks, if you catch it with your own eyes, you will definitely make this adulterer hang his head and throw herself into the river."

　　"No, no, I don't know who my brother is, so don't testify indiscriminately."

　　"Seeing is believing, why mess around, for brothers don't believe that their wives qiaoshi are such people."

　　"Qiaoshi, isn't it... Let's take a look, but who is this in front of you? In his thoughts, the man was already ahead, hurrying to keep up.

　　The night is dark, to the back door of 'coming and not coming', if it is here, is this person the Xianggan Buddha-figure? But who was that before.

　　Carefully climb over the back wall, in the backyard, through the screen window, only two figures walking around.

　　"If that's the case, it's a pair of adulterers." I could only hear the low tone of the people around me, as if I was trying to suppress it, but I could hear that I was full of hatred.

　　"Calm, there seems to be something wrong."

　　"My brother is not me, how do I know my state of mind at this time?"

　　"Shhh..., look closely, it looks like two women inside, don't be impulsive."

　　"It's a bunch of nonsense, hey, it seems like it's two women."

　　"Nothing to do, brother and peace of mind."

　　"It was indeed more impulsive than impulsive, so that it was a great disaster, and he went out the back door and went through the front door."

　　Come to the front door.

　　"The little brother will say goodbye first, and the brother will rest early."

　　"I am really sorry for the late night troubles, but thank you for tonight's events, tomorrow I am tired of coming in person and thanking my brother in person."

　　"Good, tomorrow's meeting."

　　"Walk slowly."

　　Back to the inn, cold sweat close, cold body, today is really eventful, simply do not think more, tomorrow will be clear, tonight is really difficult to sleep, the wind blowing window rustling, think that the day is getting colder, afraid of rain, until the sky is slightly bright, sleepy attack, only to enter the dream.

　　When I woke up, it was almost noon, after washing, I ate some food casually in the inn, thinking about yesterday's events, and came to 'back and forth', but there was no letter in the store, some tea sets were placed, and the girl and a man were sitting on both sides.

　　"Brother Xiang?"

　　"Who is this man?" The girl did not speak, but the man spoke first.

　　"Brother Xiang, I saw it the day before yesterday."

　　"I was in Beijing the day before yesterday, and my son came from Beijing?"

　　"Kyochu? Yes, yes, I remember the collection of poems of Xiang Shan, who was specially brought today. ”

　　"I don't remember my son, and I can't talk about the poetry collection."

　　"That's it, Xu is making a mistake and bothering."

　　"Since there is a fate, then I will see that in a few days I will be with the prince," qiao girl said.

　　"Well, thank you here."

　　As they spoke, a woman stepped out, but bowed her head and did not see her face. The man hurriedly got up and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, thank you very much last night." Madam, I went to send the sister-in-law, and if this prince had anything to do, please tell his wife. ”

　　The man walked out of the store.

　　"The prince please sit down, and the slave family will serve tea for the prince."

　　"Qiao girl, I really can't see through it underneath." Who was that just now? ”

　　"Husband Jun Xiang Gan."

　　"The one from yesterday?"

　　"Gongzi don't think too much, that is also a good thing, just the same name." It was the sister-in-law of the king just now. Come home that day to help. ”

　　"Why did you say that that day?"

　　"Because I was worried that the prince would be entangled for no reason, I had to temporarily pull a reason, and now I know that the original slave family thinks more."

　　"The collection of poems will be stored in the girl's place for the time being, and when she leaves for a few days, she will come back to discuss with each other, and the girl should not be stingy."

　　The boy laughed. Last night I invited my son to a banquet and apologized for the temporary change, tonight I am waiting here with my husband, please do not shirk it. ”

　　Out of the shop, all kinds of things are actually not clear, why last night Qiao girl waited for me in front of the store, when I was going to return, but in the backyard room, Fang Fang was also in the night yesterday, but did not see, and Fang Fang obviously mentioned yesterday that Qiao Girl's fake husband jun was listed, is it a slip of the tongue? Where is that woman, and who is it?

　　Not far away, Brother Xiang was waiting, "Brother Mo is not strange that the brothers in the hall do not know the fault, only because last night's events must not let the lady know, for the brother previously suspected that it was a mistake, do not want to be wrong again." ”

　　"Brother Xiang, I understand, but I have overspoken."

　　"I heard that Madame and Gongzi knew each other, and especially discussed with each other, and tonight they feasted on Gongzi, and thanked them as brothers, but I don't know if Madame ever said it."

　　"Having said that, I'm going to bother again tonight."

　　"Then you'll be waiting for the prince."

　　If it is not filled with moisture in the air, you can't feel that it is already in the rain, small like spring rain, soft like spring wind, tomorrow is autumn to return to spring, falling red is easy to pass away flowers are difficult to fragrance.

　　Qing Kick bowed to his feet, and there were already people outside the city. When the covenant of the night could not be lost, he wanted to leave first, and Qing also said that he had to go home first in the evening, and said in detail that he realized that tonight's banquet was not alone, but also Qing and his mother.

　　"So Xiang Gan is your father?"

　　"Yes, today my father is out of town, and my mother is going to go to Aunt Qiao's place at night, so naturally I will follow."

　　It turned out that the previous "Xiang Gan" was Qing's father, no wonder that day I saw Qing chasing after that "Xiang Brother", thinking that Wang Sister-in-law was Qing's mother, only afraid that that night I saw two women in Qiao Girl's room, one of whom was Wang Sister-in-law, today's matter, this time it makes sense, but there are still some puzzles.

　　At night, at the house of the clever girl.

　　"Qing, quickly help your mother to sit down, and the prince will also please sit down, and the meal will be prepared immediately, and I will go to the back to see."

　　"Mother, I'll go next door and play with Fang Fang."

　　"Come back early and eat right away."

　　"Good mother, brother, I'll play first."

　　"Stay safe." Before the words could be heard, Qing had already run out the door.

　　"Sister-in-law Wang, Qing is a good boy, he really understands things."

　　"The prince praised it falsely, but it is fine on weekdays, and there are many times when he is naughty."

　　"Sister-in-law Wang, have you or I seen me before, I always feel familiar, but I have no impression."

　　"Son, I saw it here at noon today, but I didn't know each other and didn't speak."

　　"Yeah, no wonder?" It is not wrong to say that it is so original, but I always feel that it should not be so simple.

　　Soon, Qing'er returned, and Qiao Girl also scolded Qing, saying that Fang Fang was pitiful, and since she was going to play, why not call them together.

　　The banquet was fine, it was late at night, Qing and his mother stayed at the home of the qiao girl overnight, and they wanted to go back to rest, and they did not expect that Brother Xiang actually said that he could not rest alone at night after drinking, saying that he was sending each other and returning with him, so he slept drunk in the inn until dawn.

　　Unexpectedly, a major incident occurred last night, and this morning someone found dead bodies floating in the Xunyang River, but this time it was not an old case, and the dead people left Xunyang yesterday afternoon, whether they were victimized by the evil people or died by accident, it must have been last night's incident, and moreover, fang Fang's father lost his foot and died not long ago, and the government immediately went out to investigate the matter in detail.

　　The inn poured in a lot of fast catches, and all the cadres were taken to the official palace, and because the qiao girl was a guarantee, there was solid evidence, and they paid the bail and Brother Xiang and left.

　　On the way, I unexpectedly met the crazy lady, in fact, I had not seen her before, but I heard it on the street corner, "Lang, Lang, go, go... The adulterer and the adulterer, gone..." kept talking nonsense, thinking it should be the crazy lady.

　　Stop it, "Madam, are you Fang Fang's mother?" ”

　　"Idiot, said I don't like to eat fish, always go there, die clean, clean." The woman turned. He said as he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at me, "You evil spirits, watch me shoot you to death." ”

　　"Mother, why are you here?" Fang Fang ran from nowhere, "Big brother, I wasn't hurt by my mother, since I heard the bad news about my father, my mother is like this." ”

　　"Fang Fang, after a few days, I will find a famous doctor to diagnose and treat your mother."

　　"Big brother, thank you."

　　"It's all right, you can take her home first."

　　"Big brother, actually..."

　　"What?"

　　"No, nothing."

　　The front foot had just returned to the inn, and Brother Xiang followed close behind.

　　"It's all right, little brother, I don't know what's going on today, it's all weird."

　　"What else is going on except yesterday's day?"

　　"A few days ago, I heard that someone in the county threw a well, and last month Fang Fang's father lost his footing and fell into the river after drinking, and last night the dead bodies were found in the river.

　　"Mo Chao said that where in the world there are ghosts, accidents often happen, and it is not unusual."

　　"That's it too. For the brother this said goodbye, still do not know how the scene at home, think that the lady is also frightened. ”

　　After Brother Xiang left, he didn't have a good night's rest last night, but he was just sent to the official palace and fell asleep lying on the bed. Waking up in the evening, the rain was getting heavier, feeling hungry in his stomach, he walked down the inn, and Xiao Er rested on the counter with his hands.

　　"Little Two, wake up, wake up, do you have anything to eat?" I was so hungry that I couldn't be polite.

　　"Ah, officer, yes, yes, I'll go to the back kitchen and get it."

　　After swallowing some food, Xiao Er leaned over again, "Son, how are you eating?" ”

　　"Full, full, thank you."

　　"Gongzi is polite, but just now he forgot about it for a while, and he forgot something, and gongzi is not strange."

　　"What?"

　　"In the afternoon, a woman came to the gongzi and said that there was an urgent matter to be found, but the gongzi was still asleep, and no one answered, so the little man asked the woman to go back, saying that she would tell the prince when he woke up. The woman only said that her surname was Wang, and that the prince should have known. ”

　　"Presumably it must be Sister-in-law Wang," I thought in my heart, but suddenly remembered another matter, "Sister-in-law Wang, that day I heard the voice as if I had heard it somewhere. But why, is it the sister-in-law of the king? What exactly was she looking for and what did she know? ”

　　"The boy is all right."

　　"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy with yours, don't pay attention to it."

　　"Well, the prince has something to command." I don't know where Sister-in-law Wang's family lives, but it is better to go to Brother Xiang's house first and ask, if it is not a big deal, I am afraid that Sister-in-law Wang will not come in person.

　　"Little two, borrow an umbrella."

　　"Dude, the wall is, just take it."

　　In the past, it was only two minutes to go to Brother Xiang's place, I don't know if it was raining heavily or because of my heart, I walked for three minutes before I arrived.

　　"Gongzi, you are here," opened the door and it was Sister-in-law Wang.

　　"What about the others? Listening to the middle two in the shop said that there was a woman surnamed Wang looking for her in the afternoon, is it not a sister-in-law, what is the big deal? ”

　　"It's really me. In the afternoon, Fang Fang had an accident, Qing'er asked me to go to Qiao Girl to borrow some silver two, Qing'er sent Fang Fang to the medicine hall, Qiao Girl's family had no one, and then thought that the prince should recognize Fang Fang, and he would not see death and not save, so he went to the inn without permission. ”

　　"What happened to Fang Fang?"

　　"His mother suddenly went crazy, throwing things around, Fang Fang couldn't dodge, the back of his head was hit, and he bled unceasingly." Looking for the gongzi and not seeing, I came back here, qiao girl and the two heard about this, immediately went to the medicine hall, I was also about to go, just when the gongzi entered the door. ”

　　"Then let's go together."

　　"It's okay."

　　"By the way, Sister-in-law Wang, can you tell me something?"

　　"If you ask any question, you will not deceive."

　　"The person who persuaded me on the street before was Sister-in-law Wang."

　　"What persuasion, I don't know what the prince is saying."

　　"Sister-in-law Wang, the tone can be high or low, and the tone cannot be hidden from people." I can't guess when you came out of the back hall that day, but I knew about Qing'er at the banquet that day. ”

　　"Since I can't hide it, I just don't hide it, and it was indeed me that day."

　　"Why did Sister-in-law Wang say that?"

　　"The specific reason is really inconvenient to say, but it is only a good word of persuasion, I think it is the blessing of the prince that day." I hope that the prince will be considerate and stop asking. ”

　　"When it is convenient to stay, my sister-in-law will say it again." Sister-in-law with an umbrella? It was raining heavily outside, and I was afraid that my umbrella would not be able to cover the two of them. ”

　　"Bring it, bring it."

　　The medicine hall was not far away, and Fang Fang was lying on a flat bed, and his head was tightly wrapped. There was an old man standing next to him, presumably a healer, and Qiao Girl and Brother Xiang were standing by the door, and Qing was also beside him.

　　"Go, go next door." The old man stepped out and closed the door.

　　"Old sir, no matter how much it costs, please ask the old man to do his best to save it." Looking at Fang Fang lying on the bed, it was difficult for me to calm down.

　　"Let's not talk about this first, the female doll's head was smashed, but it didn't hurt the point, the boy didn't have to do this, I guess it was good to sleep."

　　"There was a lot of blood, but is it really all right?" Qiao Girl's face was eager.

　　"Judging from the pulse, the little girl is indeed unhindered, but I am afraid that if any acupuncture point on her head is damaged, there will be abnormal performance, but she has not woken up, and she really does not dare to make a light assertion."

　　"How long will it take to wake up?" The anxiety on the green face was obvious to everyone.

　　"I don't know, I was knocked on the head and fell asleep, it's really not conclusive."

　　"Qing, you send your mother back first, Miss Qiao, you also go back first, I and Brother Xiang will stay here tonight, and once Fang Fang wakes up, he will notify you." It's raining heavily outside, bring your umbrella with you. ”

　　"I'll be here tonight, and if the little girl wakes up, please come here and find me right away."

　　"I'm tired of old sir."

　　Yesterday's heavy rain no longer rained, but the sky was still gray and gray, and the dense clouds of sorrow seemed to contain a big storm.

　　"Uncle Xiang, father, father has been arrested by the government." Before I woke up completely, I heard the noise outside, and if I listened carefully, it seemed to be green. Open the door and it's really green.

　　"What's going on, you're not saying that your father is out of business and how he can be arrested?"

　　"I don't know, my father said that he was out for a few days that day, but he didn't think that he had just come home today, and the catcher rushed in immediately after that, and he couldn't help but say that he took his father away." The blue face was anxious, not like lying.

　　"Wait, is it something that happened in the Xunyang River the night before, but the government has obviously not yet announced it?" Or is it because of something else. Brother Xiang said from the side. If you think about it, what could be the matter? As soon as the words came out, I felt that I should not ask like this, Young Fourteen children, how do you know anything else.

　　"What about your mother, does she know about this?"

　　"My mother just went to look for Aunt Qiao, so I came straight over."

　　"Fang Fang doesn't know when to wake up, you are here first." I first went to the trustee to inquire, and the son went back to take care of one or two first. ”

　　On the way, I thought a lot, it was time to ask her, otherwise I don't know how many more incidents there will be, and when I came to 'going and not coming', Qiao girl was talking to Sister-in-law Wang, but she was in a hurry but couldn't take care of Sister-in-law Wang.

　　"Miss Qiao, how much have you hidden from me?"

　　"Son, why are you asking here?"

　　"On that day, Fang Fang came to the inn to spread the word, and you were not the only one who invited me to the banquet, but also Xiang Gan, although it was finally canceled for some reason, in the end there was still such a thing, although it should not have been questioned in front of Wang Gan, but today Xiang Gan was suddenly arrested, it is difficult to say whether it will be related, and I can't care about Wang Gan."

　　"I have explained earlier that the husband was not there that day, Xiang Gan was indeed here to help, and he also informed his sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law was in person, and I did not believe that you could ask for verification, but the banquet that night had been invited, and there was no male lord in the family, so I asked Brother Xiang to be here, in case of accident, although I doubted the character of the prince, it was reasonable."

　　"What the girl said, there is indeed such a thing. Later, when my husband came back, he said that there was no one here at night, so I came to accompany her. ”

　　"Moreover, when Fang Fang invited him, did he say that there were slaves and husbands at the night banquet?"

　　"That's not true, just that there is uncle Xiang."

　　"That is, that night I waited for the prince not to come, so I let Brother Xiang return first, and my sister-in-law came here later, so I waited at the front door for the prince to come and tell the prince." That night the husband also suddenly returned in the middle of the night, not believing, and when he came back, you asked him personally. ”

　　"Qiao girl, I am worried about it, but there are too many things in these two days, forgive me." When Brother Xiang came back that night, I naturally knew that I had come with me. But don't tell the girl.

　　"Does the girl know about that sweet thing?"

　　"I don't know, Sister-in-law Wang is here, or see what Sister-in-law Wang knows."

　　"I don't know, the other day said that there was something going out, I and Qing'er lived here in Qiao Girl, the prince must know." Expected that yesterday Xiang Lang should come back, I and Qing'er came back, this morning at about five o'clock, I heard the sound of opening the door outside the door, got up and saw that it was indeed Xiang Lang. However, after an hour, the noise outside could be heard, and a group of catchers rushed in, and without saying a word, they took it away. ”

　　"Didn't you say why?"

　　"No, he didn't say a word."

　　"That's weird."

　　Suddenly Qing's voice came from afar, and before the words had fallen, Qing'er had already broken in, "Mother, Aunt Qiao, Fang Fang woke up, woke up." ”

　　"Let's go, let's go see it first."

　　In the medicine hall, the old doctor stood at the side of the cabinet, brushing his beard in one hand, writing and drawing on the paper with a pen in the other, and sprinkling some medical books next to him.

　　"Who are you?" Big brother, big brother, who are they? Sister-in-law Wang, Aunt Qiao, and Qing surrounded Fang Fang, but Fang Fang didn't seem to know a few people, only looking at me.

　　"Old sir, fang fang this is?"

　　"Sure enough." The old man waved his hand, "This little girl is afraid that she has lost her memory, she only remembers the recent events, and the previous events are only afraid that she has forgotten them cleanly." ”

　　"Will it recover?"

　　"It is not clear, the old man has not seen the precedent with his own eyes, but there are records in the medical books, this situation, the time is longer or shorter, occasionally recovered, but most of them will be hopeless in life." At this time, please also rest at home, it is difficult to say that there is no turnaround, in addition to this, it is difficult to have other methods. ”

　　"Cultivate in The Qiao Girl's house first, the cost will be paid by me, and I can ask someone to take care of it day and night."

　　"The prince was too worried, the slave family had such a plan, Fang Fang's father died of a footfall a month ago, and his mother is like this now, it is really pitiful."

　　In the qiao girl's house, Fang Fang slept in the inner room, Qing'er took care of it, and everyone came to the front hall and was 'going to and not coming' in the store.

　　"Ask clearly, ask clearly." Not long after, Brother Xiang pushed the door and entered.

　　"The county magistrate entrusted the people to send a message that it was related to people's lives, and the person who reported the crime was Liu Yi, the city gate guard, saying that he saw him follow the person who was killed the day before out of the city, and when he saw him go home early this morning, he went to yamen to ask someone to come and arrest him."

　　"Is there any evidence?"

　　"It was the man who was killed who left a note for Liu Yi, the gatekeeper, before leaving the city, saying that someone had killed him, and indeed he was found dead in the river. When resisting, he grabbed a piece of clothing in his hand, which matched the one that Xiang Gan was wearing when he returned home in the morning, and the suspicion was the greatest. ”

　　"Son, borrow a step to speak." I never expected that it was Sister-in-law Wang who whispered to me.

　　"Sister-in-law Wang, please say anything."

　　"In fact, this matter should not be made clear to you, but now that her husband is in prison, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good, and Fang Fang is in such a situation, and he should not hide it anymore."

　　"Why do you say so, Xiang Gan's sister-in-law knows one or two," suddenly a shock in his head, flashed something, "Mo Fei, sister-in-law also persuaded that guest?" ”

　　"Yes, I have indeed persuaded, but I do not want to lose my life, and I have not thought about it in vain. If you think about it, xiang Lang will do it, but it will be a crime of the most heinous crime, and his life will be difficult to protect. They all complained that I was cowardly, knowing that there would be such a difficulty, but they did not dare to persuade my husband. ”

　　"Sister-in-law already knew about this?"

　　"No, I overheard Miss Qiao talking with Fang Fang in secret, I don't know the details, I know how to guess one or two."

　　"What's the secret talk?"

　　"On that day, I happened to be in the back hall, and I heard that someone in the front hall had left, and the houqiao girl asked Fang Fang to go to find Xiang Lang, and said with the words, 'The guest thinks that he is out of the city today, and it is time to break it.'" I think it is not right, it is convenient for the street to persuade them, and the husband said that something will happen that day, and I and Qing'er will stay here at night. Yesterday morning, it was said that dead bodies were found in the river again, and it turned out to be his person. Today, many things, think about it, I am afraid that it is really his doing. ”

　　"Sister-in-law, mo urgent, so to speak, Qiao Girl is the main messenger?"

　　"I really don't dare to hide it, everyone says that Xiang Lang has an affair with Qiao Girl, but he has never seen it in person, and the slave family does not want to believe it, one is Qing'er, and the other is the slave family itself." Although he is humiliated, he can only be wronged. ”

　　"My sister-in-law will go back with Qing'er first, and this matter will be handed over to me."

　　"That's it."

　　"Brother Xiang, go out with the next, the tired girl takes good care of Fang Fang, there is something to come to the inn to know a sound, and do your best."

　　After a night of endless thoughts, the past is clear, I am afraid that I have to find a clever girl to verify.

　　"Boom..." The day that had been suppressed all day was finally unstoppable, and at this moment it completely exploded in the sky.

　　"The prince please sit down, wait for the slave family to prepare, play a song for the prince, and later he will confide it."

　　Bathe and change clothes, set the stove and burn incense.

　　'Ding-dong', 'Ding-dong'...

　　The strings are silent like whispers, and the tune is stateless and indulgent.

　　The song reveals the talent of the girl, but the makeup is jealous of the pink dai.

　　Years and years of laughter year after year, the autumn moon has not yet reached the spring breeze.

　　The jade hand pipa is silent, and the large strings and small strings are also quiet.

　　The color is not in the old people' go, and the banquet is scattered and the lights are exhausted.

　　The song ends.

　　"Miss Qiao, Qing and Fang Fang are all pawns in your hand?"

　　"Chess pieces? It's ugly, it's a child, it's an angel. ”

　　"Teach to harm people, but also angels?"

　　"Gongzi is vain, it is not what I taught, Fang Fangshi is not Gongzi thinks, what he thinks is far beyond ordinary people, and the slave family thinks that it is not as good as it is."

　　"Nonsense, after all, it is only a child, and now the scene, do you still want to shirk responsibility?"

　　"Son, listen to me in detail. The man in the river the day before yesterday was indeed done by me and Brother Xiang, and since you already know that the slave family confessed to the crime, please listen to the details of Fang Fang's father.' ”

　　"Okay, let's talk first."

　　"Two months ago, Fang Fang came knocking on the door at night, that night it happened that her husband Jun was not at home, and Wang's sister-in-law also came to me because of the high fever in The Green, it was Fang Fang who found out that his father had a daughter outside in the middle of the night. I entrusted this matter to Brother Xiang, the father of Qing, and after three days I finally found out that it was Fang Fang's father who had an affair with a daughter in a foreign country, and his woman secretly followed him here and threatened to divorce his wife. That night, he was arranged to rest at the inn, and was sent back by Fang Fang's father two days later. ”

　　"What does this have to do with fangfang? It was normal to be curious about my father's affairs. ”

　　"Gongzi Mo is anxious, at that time a few days later, the woman threw herself into the well, the news soon came back here, afraid of fang fang's father, as far as I and Xiang brother know the inside story, that day Fang Fang's father happened to be there, nine times out of ten is his doing, but at that time did not think much, except for the later things, the rest are told to Fang Fang." But Fang Fang's reaction at that time was really frightening. ”

　　"If the girl committed suicide, wouldn't she have wronged others?"

　　"The woman was three months pregnant at the time, so she should not have committed suicide, and Fang Fang's father also admitted that he did it."

　　"How frightening is Fang's reaction?"

　　"Fang Fang heard about this, 'Aunt Qiao, Uncle Xiang, or we will kill my father."' Otherwise, I will spread your business among the neighboring governments. ”

　　"Nonsense, your business, how will you be known to Fang Fang?" And afraid of leaking it out. ”

　　"In fact, the husband was originally surnamed Xiang, but he was not called Xiang Gan, but after his mother was recruited as a son-in-law, he changed it at my request."

　　"Is It true that Qing'er's father, Xiang Gan, is the girl's favorite?"

　　"Yes, Brother Xiang and I were originally green plum bamboo horses, but his mother was forced to die, and Xiang Lang married Wang's sister-in-law and gave birth to Qing'er."

　　"Do you really have an affair with that Gan?"

　　"It doesn't matter, if the world says there is, then there is, and if the world says nothing, then there is nothing." Then say, Fang Fang coerced with this, I and Xiang Gan did not want to expose the ugly matter, moreover, no matter whether it was innocent, the rumors were not rumors, so they had a plan, but did not tell Fang Fang a plan, only let him go home and wait, a week later, his father fell in the river, it was actually I conspired with Brother Xiang, invited to drink, went to the river in the middle of the night, and pushed him down. Last month, it was found in the middle of the river, and the government closed the case according to the drunkenness. But pity his mother, and really do evil. But that night, his father did admit to harming the woman. ”

　　"What happened to Fang Fang?"

　　"Fang Fang knew that it was me, and then he came up with a way to tell me, so that I could lead out the lustful people in the world and punish the wicked according to the law."

　　"What law?"

　　"Tempted by me, a game, everyone is once, if after one time, no one sets foot, then it is safe, if it is returned, no matter what, it will die." 」

　　"If the second time is successful, after all, your little trick, the master will find out once, or people will understand it when they think about it."

　　"Indeed, the son is, but I said that no matter what, the return is death."

　　"No wonder, that day Fang Fang came to the inn to invite me to come in the name of you and Xiang Gan, and finally advised me not to drink alcohol."

　　It turned out that Fang Fang had already persuaded Gongzi, thinking that what caused Fang Fang to regret it, but he did not tell me, only that it would proceed according to plan. Later, Qing'er came to tell me that my husband had quietly entered the city, thinking that it was too late to tell his son, so he waited in front of the store. ”

　　"That's the way it is."

　　"Qing has also been involved in it?"

　　"I don't know, Brother Xiang didn't tell me about this, I think it was just a message, not involved." Qing'er is still young, often playing outside the city, some people will find out when they enter the city, but Sister-in-law Wang has a cowardly personality, although she knows that I and Brother Xiang have one or two things, but she has been silent, it must be because she loves Qing'er deeply, if she is really implicated, she is afraid that Sister-in-law Wang will fight for half death, and she will also stop it. That night was also Qing'er saw that Fujun sneaked into the city, it should be Xiang Brother to give an explanation, originally wanted to let Fang Fang go to look for you, but at that time it was inconvenient at night, so he had to wait personally. ”

　　"That day, fangfang said that it was looking for two inns, but I asked, and the other inns said that they had not seen Fang Fang that day."

　　"Yes, your residence, Qing'er told us early in the morning, and Fang Fang must have been clear."

　　"Have you ever regretted it?"

　　"Tell the truth, I have been worried and uneasy in my heart before, since the incident of two or three people, I have understood Fang Fang's thoughts, if my husband betrays and harms my family, I will not spare it."

　　"How many others have been victimized?"

　　"There were also two foreigners, but these two people were really hateful, and they wanted to bully me on the spot, so I did everything I could to let them come here at night, and at night, I killed them with Brother Xiang, but these two were tied up with bluestone, and they would sink into the river."

　　"But what is wrong with your husband, you can't explain it clearly with that Xiang Gan, what about this Xiang brother in the family?"

　　"If you make a big mistake, you will repay it in the next life."

　　All sentient beings say this, the next life, the next life, the next life is absurd and sad. I took the collection of poems and resigned. ”

　　Inside the official prison, Qing'er finally saw her father.

　　"Qing'er, this time my father is afraid that he will not be able to go out."

　　"Father, father..." In the end, it was a child, Qing'er saw such a tragic image of her father, and immediately wet her clothes with tears.

　　"Qing'er don't cry, everything is my fault, I can't blame others." I have forgotten everything I told you before, and in the future you will have to take good care of your mother, and not let people bully you. ”

　　"Yes, yes father."

　　"Also, I'm sorry for your mother, she doesn't want to see me, you don't mind, this is my letter to your mother, you go out and give it to her."

　　"Good, good father."

　　"Listen to your mother, don't make her angry."

　　"The time for the visit is up, and the visitors leave immediately, leave immediately." A servant came over.

　　"Father, father..."

　　"Qing'er, Qing'er, remember what she told her father, remember..."

　　At night, he sat in the room with Brother Xiang.

　　Tell Brother Xiang about the deletion of the matter.

　　"I don't know the identity of the gongzi, so I simply don't ask any more questions, thinking that the gongzi sees that I and my wife are not very different from ordinary people's homes, in fact, it doesn't hurt to say that it is okay to talk to the gongzi, only to plead with the gongzi not to speak with others, so as not to be made fun of."

　　"Don't dare."

　　"Because the brother was not a native of the clan, but the second son of Xiangfu in Longnan, Gansu, only because the third brother wanted to seek family property, he and the thieves invaded the palace in the middle of the night, did not expect the thieves to rebel, and actually killed the third brother in front of the father, the mother was angry, the third brother was the treasure in the palm of the mother, so the father and mother died on the spot, and the thief ransacked the house, and the brother escaped from the well until there was no movement before he climbed out, and found that no one in the house had to live, and reported to the official palace, but it was always fruitless."

　　"After wandering away from here, the way of business is still in practice, by the mother-in-law Lin family, accepted as the son-in-law of the Qiao family, soon the mother-in-law drove the crane, the wife is becoming more and more abnormal, the brother is often outside, that day heard that the lady misbehaved, so he felt hatred, only to return home in the middle of the night, it was really ascertained, the road met the prince, there was a later incident, did not think that it was so shocking. Today, fang fang knows these things, and it is really a thousand feelings. ”

　　"It's just some inference that Xiang Gan has committed suicide in prison, and there is still no conclusion as to whether there is an affair with Miss Qiao, let alone other theories."

　　"Is his son Qing'er involved?"

　　"I don't dare to say anything, there is really no evidence."

　　"No matter what the truth is, I only hope that my sister-in-law will be nurtured in the future."

　　"I didn't think that Fang Fang was also... She was only ten years old, how could she be so bold. ”

　　"Brother Xiang, after the younger brother leaves, please take more care of Fang Fang's mother and daughter, and silver will be sent to you in two days." I had written to a doctor earlier to ask for the promise of a doctor, and after half a month, I hoped to take care of one or two. ”

　　"Please also rest assured that my brother will do the same."

　　On the seventh day, it was as sunny as ever, in the "Coming and Not Coming" shop.

　　"Qiao Girl, at this moment, I know that it was originally a cheat, and it was also possible to sell herself?"

　　Qiao Girl's face instantly returned to normal, and she actually took a small step closer, bowing her head in her ear: "Selling her body? Yes, is the boy interested? ”

　　"Interested in you, not interested in selling."

　　"When did you say money?"

　　"Hahaha, but it is inconvenient at this moment, and we will meet again in a few days."

　　"It's never too late to have a cup of tea and go."

　　"No, no, there's something going on."

　　"Gongzi does not want to drink, then the slave family to do the work, gongzi please wait, the former Xiang Lang in the floating beam brought back the tea, give some taste."

　　"Qiao girl, take care!"

　　"Promise the prince to turn himself in today, the prince is assured, and the little girl will go on her own."

　　After leaving, soon after, the girl sat paralyzed next to the case, and if someone probed her breath, she would find that she had lost her breath.

　　Back to the inn room, boil tea in water, unconsciously fragrant room, smell no incense in the ambergris, go to the water to add, look at the tea color elegant, non-red non-green.

　　The land of floating beams, black tea has been famous for a long time, should not be for this, why...

　　Floating beams? Floating beams? That's it.

　　It's gone.

　　This is Qiao Girl, Xun Yang.

　　For "coming and going".

　　——

　　"Dude, how long have you been staying?"

　　"No problem, just arrived."

　　"What did the prince just throw into the river?"

　　"Some little things."

　　"So where are we going?"

　　"Go back to your house first."

　　"Okay, the boy sits down and rests for a while."

　　End of xunyang chapter.
