Maid of a wealthy family

Chapter 34
After hearing this, Ran Longgui lowered his head sadly, and replied after a while, "That's right! But now I can't even redeem her."

After Ye Shan heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Fifth Master, you have eaten this bowl of rice, why are you still thinking about redemption..."

Ran Longgui hastily interrupted him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you don't redeem her, let her go on like this?"

Ye Shan hurriedly said, "Fifth Master, why are you so confused? We people, why do we still have so many rules? Take a few brothers, rush down the mountain, and just snatch her back, isn't it that simple?"

After hearing this, Ran Longgui felt a faint touch in his heart, and couldn't help repeating Ye Shan's words: "Snatch?"

Ye Shan said: "Yes! Isn't this what we are doing? Tell you, the 'rudder' has long wanted to go to Guan Lan Hongen, a big fat pig, but Lan Mansion is heavily guarded and the house is big, so it's not good. I didn't dare to make a move when I went in."

After hearing this, Ran Longgui said timidly, "It's like this..."

Ye Shan said: "Don't worry, fifth master, three and a half days, there will always be one and a half days, right? Although I'm just an old man in charge of patrolling, I also have a lot of 'inner eyes' in my hand. In a few days, I will send some A shrewd and capable brother, go to Liujiangchang to "step on the line" around Lanfu. When you step on it, the fifth master will be in charge of sending troops to fight again. When the time comes, you only need to say to the "rudder handle". The fifth master went out in person, and only sent one brother to snatch the eldest sister back for you in a few hours! Fifth master, you can just wait and pay homage on the mountain."

After hearing this, Ran Longgui didn't say anything, but suddenly a bright sky opened up in his heart, and he suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing towards his face.After a while, he finally said to Ye Shan: "Well, you can send more 'eyeliner' down the mountain."

After hearing this, Ye Shan said flatteringly, "Don't worry, fifth master! Who would dare not listen to fifth master's words."

Only then did Ran Longgui stand up and heaved a long sigh of relief, as if he had accomplished a major event.He looked at the mountains bathed in the moonlight again, and unconsciously said in his heart: "Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum, my man! You wait, I must personally come to save you! Save you." Go back to the shed with Hayama and sleep.

Chrysanthemum still didn't get up the next day.

However, it was the girl named Da Cui from the outer courtyard who delivered the food today.When Chrysanthemum saw her, she hurriedly asked, "Where is Wang Ma?"

Da Cui's eyelids immediately drooped, and then a line of tears rolled down and said: "Dead."

Chrysanthemum sat up at once, stared at Dacui nervously, and asked again in disbelief: "What? What did you say?"

Miss Dacui still replied sadly: "Really! She set fire to Master's house last night, and was thrown into the fire...and burned to death."

Chrysanthemum collapsed on the bed, her eyes were dumbfounded, my God, is that so?She heard the shouting and noise outside last night, but at that time she was heartbroken for her own affairs, and her heart was ashamed, so she lay on the bed without moving.I didn't expect such a tragedy to happen!After a while, she came back to her senses and said to herself, "My God, why is she going to set fire to the house? Why..."

Dacui said: "Yes, no one would have guessed that Wang Ma is usually a good person." After speaking, Dacui put the rice on the table and went down first.

Chrysanthemum has no appetite at all, Wang Ma's kind face is swaying in front of her eyes, especially the painful expression of hugging her yesterday, she can't figure out why she wants to set fire.Of course, the girl never thought of linking her own life experience with Wang Ma's death. From then on, there was only another mystery in her heart that was difficult to solve.But she still shed a lot of tears for Wang Ma's heartbreak.While crying, she thought of her own fate, and the mysterious and unpredictable cases that the Lan Mansion had left for her, and the girl became even more frightened.At this moment, she wished she could die too, so that there would never be pain again.

She really wanted to throw the food they brought on the ground.

Not long after, she heard a "dongdong" footsteps from the stairs, Chrysanthemum thought it was Da Cui coming to collect the bowl, opened her eyes and looked, but it was the old lady and the wife.Chrysanthemum hastily closed her eyes and turned to the wall.The anger in her heart suddenly ignited, and she really wanted to sit up, grab them and fight and curse for a while.But she didn't, she just covered her face with the quilt, panting heavily inside.

The old lady and Ning sat down on the head of her bed.The old lady removed the quilt covering her face with her hands, and said kindly: "My child, why don't you eat?"

Chrysanthemum didn't answer, and didn't move.

The old lady put her hand on the chrysanthemum eyelid, gently wiped away a trace of tears, and said distressedly: "Get up and eat, my child! My heart aches when I'm hungry..."

Chrysanthemum didn't wait for her to finish, and shook off her hand vigorously.

The old lady was not angry, and continued to coax her child, "Don't be so petty, my child, what's the big deal..."

Chrysanthemum couldn't bear it anymore, she sat up from the bed all of a sudden, staring at the old lady and Ning Shi with angry eyes.For a moment, like a volcanic eruption, they shouted loudly: "Get out!
You are not human!It's not human—" Shouting, still feeling puzzled, grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at the old lady and Ning Shi.

The old lady and Ning's body turned sideways, letting the pillows pass by.The pillow fell on the small table, knocked over the bowl, and the lotus rice soup was scattered all over the table.

When the old lady saw it, she immediately suppressed her smile, lowered her face, and paused heavily on the leading crutch to the ground, then shouted loudly: "Bold."

Chrysanthemum was shocked by the scolding, she stopped her hands, her eyes became a little dazed, and she looked at them at a loss.

The old lady still had an unstoppable murderous look on her face, she stared at the chrysanthemum and said word by word: "You slave, have you eaten the guts of a leopard, haven't you? How dare you rebel against Chao Gang? You don't want to toast or eat fine wine! To be honest! Let me tell you, you are already pregnant with a child from Lan Mansion! You don’t know when you came to fame? This is the case, we care about you so that you can give birth to the blood of Lan Mansion smoothly. But you don’t Know what is good and what is bad, and be kind as a donkey’s heart. Now, whether you eat it or not, you have to give birth to the child of Lanfu! You can think about it yourself 1 After finishing speaking, he turned around and said, "Du Du" Downstairs.

Ning Shi also turned around, but when she turned around, she gave Chrysanthemum a hard look, as if she had a sworn enemy.

Chrysanthemum is stupid!

After a while, Chrysanthemum came back to her senses, the old lady's words were still "buzzing" in her ears

echo.She understands everything now!They really are together!In the past, she took a mouthful of "my child" just to numb herself.She thought about being pregnant again, and her heart seemed to be shocked by thunder.She counted the days, and the days of being popular have just passed!In other words, they have mastered everything about her... Chrysanthemum gritted her teeth in hatred.God, what if I'm really pregnant?Do not!Do not!She cried out again in her heart.I will never let him be born, never!She raised her hand.He beat his stomach hard.Like this, he can knock down the dirty things that Lan Hongen attached to his stomach for a while.After beating for a while, my stomach hurts, and the strength in my hands is exhausted, so I fell on the bed helplessly, and fell into a drowsy sleep again.

In her drowsiness, she had all kinds of weird dreams.She first dreamed that she was walking on a remote path, surrounded by mountains, so high that she couldn't see her head, and there were many strange rocks beside the road.After a while, the strange rocks suddenly turned into corpses, shining white in the sun.She wondered that she had walked into a cemetery, and she was terrified. She was about to go back, when suddenly a white bone lying in front of her started to move.She screamed in fright, turned around and ran away, but there were corpses and ghosts all around, each with blue faces and fangs, horrifying.She cried out in horror: "Help—" At this moment, she saw a person among the ghosts who looked like a master.The master bared his teeth, looked at her viciously, opened his bloody mouth and yelled: "I want to eat you!" Then, the master opened his two big hands, rushed towards her, and pressed her on the ground. on the ground.Chrysanthemum yelled in horror: "Ah—" and then woke up.

Chrysanthemum sat up from the bed at once, with a horrified expression on her face.She looked outside, the autumn sun was shining brightly.Only then did Chrysanthemum realize that she was overthinking and had a nightmare.She lay down again, but not long after, she had a second dream.

This time, she seemed to have returned home and went out to hunt pigweed with a basket on her back.It was hot, and she felt herself sweating profusely.She came to a small river against the sun.This small river seems to be the small river where she and Ran Longgui played and bathed when they were young, but it doesn't seem to be the same.The river is clear and calm, with a cool breath.She felt that she couldn't bear the scorching heat of the sun, and wanted to go down to the river to take a bath.So she quickly took off her clothes and jumped into the water just like she did when she was a child.Ha, the water is so cool, so pleasant and comfortable.She was enjoying herself when she suddenly saw a big snake appearing in the river.The snake stared like a torch, spit out a long letter, and swam towards her.She screamed again in fright, and was about to run to the shore.But at this time, his feet seemed to be trapped by something, and he couldn't move no matter what.She was so frightened that she cried.The snake had already swam over, spitting out its message triumphantly, and surrounded her.Her body seemed to be tied up, unable to move at all.She thought she was going to die, so she yelled again: "Help——"

At this time, the snake changed suddenly and became a master.The master hugged her tightly, smiled "hee hee" and said, "Don't be afraid, Chrysanthemum." As he spoke, he wanted to drink his lips to kiss her again.Chrysanthemum cried out again in surprise: "Ai—" woke up again.

After waking up, Chrysanthemum didn't want to sleep anymore.She couldn't understand, why did she dream of the master bullying her twice in a row?What made her feel even more strange was, why did she dream of a snake?Have you ever thought about snakes?She often heard from her mother and other sister-in-laws that married women dreamed of snakes, which was a sign of giving birth to sons.So, could it be that he is really pregnant with Lan Hongen's child, and the gods have reported to him?Do not!This is absolutely impossible!How can there be such a coincidence in the world... Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum suddenly remembered that if she hadn't conceived, the Lan family would never let it go, and this master, who is not as good as a beast, would definitely find her!I must never let him get close to my body again, definitely not!At this time, on the one hand, a hope arose in her heart by chance, that is, to beg the blessing of the Bodhisattva so that she would not be pregnant with Lan Hongen's child. The scissors are for sewing when I have time, but they are still in the bag.This just happens to be a weapon for self-defense!

Thinking about it, Chrysanthemum hurriedly jumped out of bed, went to take the bundle, opened it, and took out the scissors.She raised the scissors and looked, the blades were still sharp.But she was still worried, and ran to the window to have a look. Seeing that there was no one in the garden, she hurried downstairs, picked up a broken brick under the grape arbor, and hurried upstairs again.Then, he sharpened the scissors upstairs.After grinding, she tore off a hair from her head, put it on the cutting edge and blew it gently, and the hair broke.Chrysanthemum was very satisfied, hurriedly hid the scissors under the pillow, and said silently: "Come on, you beast-like creature, let me see how I can deal with you."

However, far beyond Chrysanthemum's expectations, people in Lan Mansion seemed to have died or disappeared, not only not coming to her house, but even seldom showing up in the garden.Chrysanthemum thought it was just a short-term thing, because she had already offended the old lady and the wife, and they were angry with her, and it would pass in a few days.And the master did this, perhaps because he was embarrassed to see her.But as the saying goes, "A dog that eats shit can't leave the latrine", and it will definitely come to pester me again in a few days.However, a week passed, and two weeks passed, and the people in Lan Mansion seemed to have completely forgotten about her.Except for Dacui to bring her food on time every day, no matter whether it is the old lady, wife or master, there is still no sign.This puzzled Chrysanthemum, she really didn't know what kind of medicine was in Lanfu's gourd.What's worse, she gradually couldn't stand the growing loneliness and loneliness.She was a living person, a young girl, but she suddenly seemed to be abandoned on a desolate island, with no one of her kind around her, nor an animal similar to humans.She suddenly felt so lonely and bored.At first, Chrysanthemum could bear the desertedness, trying to think about family affairs and Ran Longgui.And once I think of Ran Longgui, a consciousness of pain, guilt, despair and other emotions will permeate my heart. The more I think about it, the stronger the feeling of depression.Besides, no matter how good the memories are, they can't stand countless times of repeated chewing. After thinking about these things for a long time, it's like filtering tofu.Then, Chrysanthemum went to the window and watched the scenery in the garden boredly.It was mid-autumn at this time, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond had all bloomed, leaving only a yellowed leaf and a bare lotus arrow, and the flowers and plants had also shown a withered yellow color.Under the indifferent sky, the whole garden seemed to have sunk deeply into a cold and desolate depression.After watching for a while, she cast her eyes further away, but a circle of branches and leaves of trees blocked her vision.She can only see the gray sky and distant mountains in the distance through the gaps in the branches and leaves.Looking at it, she felt that no matter the sky or the mountains were so far away from her, they were all indifferent to her.She felt that she was drifting in a vast ocean, and no one around her could reach out to save her.When she was almost overwhelmed by the death-like loneliness and loneliness, she really wanted to make some noises, such as knocking on the wall, running frantically, or shouting hysterically, to drive away the emptiness and alone.

Sometimes, she also wanted to go downstairs to walk and talk with the old lady like in the past.But when he thought of bumping into the old lady and his wife, he lost confidence.More importantly, she was afraid of entering that garden. She thought that every plant, every stone in the garden knew about her scandal, and seemed to humiliate her and laugh at her.Therefore, every time I got up my confidence to go downstairs, I was discouraged halfway.

At this time, she felt lonely and lonely.She felt that she was going to be driven crazy by this loneliness.She really longed to have someone by her side, even if it was her enemy, such as the old lady, the master or the wife, who would lose her temper with her and say something to scare her like the old lady did that day.But there was no one, not even a small animal.One day, she looked at the window for a long time, and finally saw a pair of butterflies flying over the grape trellis.It was a pair of very beautiful pink butterflies with light down on their bodies.They are free to chase and play around the grape leaves that are about to fall.High for a while, low for a while.For an instant, they had flown to her window.Chrysanthemum was so happy, she stretched out her hands as if to hold them.But after a while, they flew away, and flew away from the grape trellis, and finally disappeared into the distance.As if the chrysanthemum had been taken away, my mood immediately sank and became depressed.Later, she came to the window every day, hoping to see the pair of butterflies revisit the old place.However, Butterfly seems to have forgotten this place, and has never visited the grape trellis again.
