Every time I finish my soul, I have to wipe my saliva on a loyal dog

Chapter 4 Passerby Yi Sun Xiucai's Perspective

"Fusheng, I heard that there was a tragedy in Li's residence. There were more than one dead person. I heard that the blood was all over the ground. Would you like to go with your mother to see the excitement?"

"I... I won't go, I have to read the book." I shut myself in the room and replied silently, picking up a book casually.

"Oh good, then Fusheng, you have to study hard, and come back next year to give your mother the number one exam!"

I heard the mother-in-law's shout, but I didn't speak again. When the footsteps outside went away, I put down the book I just picked up and stood up irritably.

My name is Sun Fusheng, and my family runs a teahouse. I am the only child in my family, and I have been placed with high hopes since I was a child. And I have lived up to my parents' expectations. I was admitted as a scholar and became one of the more than [-] scholars in Tongcheng.My mother always said that she had a talented son, but I didn't like her showing off so much. In recent years, she didn't even think of a son.My parents also followed me, they only hoped that I would study hard and give them a champion in the exam, so that they would have more capital to be proud of.

Every time I hear them say that, I feel extremely irritated. I know how much I have.However, my mother still went around saying that her son would be the number one scholar in the future, and she didn't think about how embarrassed I would be if I didn't get the number one in the exam. Would I still have the nerve to go out to meet people?

I opened the door and walked out.It was a sunny day outside, and the teahouse in front was very noisy at this time. I listened carefully, and they were all talking about the death of dozens of people in the Li family in Tongcheng overnight.

After hesitating for a while, I still sat in a corner of the teahouse and listened to the discussions of those tea guests.

"The Li family is a well-known wealthy family in our Tongcheng city. I heard that the tea picked by their tea house is sold to several surrounding cities every year. Who wouldn't be envious? In the end, something happened to Mr. Li. I don't know what will happen in the future. How are you?" An old man with a white beard stroked his beard and shook his head.

A middle-aged man next to him also nodded in agreement: "Isn't it? Although both Young Master Li and Miss Li were lucky enough to escape, but Young Master Li is only a 16-year-old boy, and he can support such a big boy." Family business? The Li family seems to be on the verge of collapse..."

"Hey, tell me, who did this?" Another tea guest asked mysteriously.

"I think that's what those goddamned robbers and thieves did, or those gold and silver things caught people's eyes."

"If it weren't for those robbers and thieves, who would have done such a crazy thing, but I heard that even the master has several servants, and more than [-] corpses have been brought out of the Li residence..." Everyone chattered After discussing for a while, they talked about other parents' troubles. The husband of which family went to the building to find a girl, but was chased out by the family tigress wielding a broom, and stood at the door of the house and scolded for a long time...

After listening silently for a while, I got up and walked out, not knowing where I was going, just wandering in the street.When I came back to my senses, I found myself standing not far from Li's residence.At this time, white lanterns and white silk are hung on the grand gate of the Li Mansion, and white flowers are also tied on the stone lion in front of the gate, and the crying all day long can be heard here.

There were still a few corpses covered in white cloths parked in front of the door, surrounded by a few policemen, and a circle of ordinary people were watching and pointing from time to time.

I didn't go there, just stood here looking at the wide open gate of Li Mansion.I don't know why I came here, but, hearing them say that the little lady of Li's mansion is fine, I subconsciously wanted to come and see if that lively and lovely girl is really fine.

The first time I saw Li Yangui, the young lady of the Li Mansion, was when she was 13 years old.

At that time, when I was 15 years old, my father and I went to Li’s Mansion to celebrate Mr. Li’s birthday. My family owned a tea house, and Li’s Mansion was a tea merchant. We had some business contacts, so relying on this relationship, my father came to celebrate his birthday. In fact, he just wanted to curry favor Go to the big family of Li's Mansion.

I didn't want to flatter those people like my father, so I sneaked out of the hall by myself, attracted by the scenery on the road, and came to the garden of Li's mansion without knowing it.It was probably because Mr. Li was celebrating his birthday today, and all the servants were busy in the front hall. There were no servants watching over here, so no one came to stop me.

"Axue, it's so lively in front, why can't I go, I'll just take a peek and come back, okay?"

"My lady, the master specifically told me to keep an eye on you. Last time you said that you just went to the wine cellar to smell the smell, but you drank the bamboo leaf green that the master treasured and went to climb a tree drunk. If it weren't for the servant People are watching, and you will fall! How can you drink alcohol as a young lady! Last time, the young master begged for you for a long time, so you were only fined for three months and could not go out. You forgot Well, if there is another accident, see if the master doesn't use family law against you this time, you will know the pain when the time comes..."

"If you don't go, you won't go, Axue is really long-winded~Axue is a housekeeper~ Besides, if I knew the wine was so bad, I wouldn't drink it. It's too spicy, and I'll get a headache after drinking it. I don't want to drink it again~"

I saw a girl with long braids and a few magnolia flowers on her head wrinkled her nose, said to the person dressed as a maid, and ran a few steps away to make a grimace.Bouncing and bouncing all the way to this side through the flowers and leaves, the silver bell-like laughter is clear and sweet.The girl who talks and smiles sweetly among the flowers under the sun is innocent and knows no worries...

I hid aside and didn't come out until the master and servant left, and returned to the front hall.Later, I found out that it was Li Yangui, the most favored young lady of the Li family.

After a year, last year's Lantern Festival, I once again met the person I thought I would never meet, the young lady of the Li family, Li Yangui.

At that time, the night had just fallen, and countless lanterns had been hung up all over Tongcheng.I felt agitated because my mother once again mentioned that I wanted to be a champion, so I walked out of the house.When I passed the long wall of the Li Mansion, I was hit by a black shadow falling from the sky and fell to the ground. There was still a soft body on my body. I heard her rubbing her arms and complaining that the ground was too hard.

"Miss Li...can you get up first?"

"Wow! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you alright? It's over, I just ran out and caused an accident. It seems that I will be severely repaired after being caught back..." She pulled her long braid angrily, looking extremely depressed up.

I wanted to laugh inexplicably, and I recognized this voice, a crisp voice like Huang Ying, Miss Li Yangui from the Li family.

"I'll buy you a lantern, please don't send me back, okay!" She widened her eyes and clasped her hands, but she had the expression that if you don't agree, I will cry for you.

"...Okay." By coincidence, I agreed to her.

Later, I walked behind her and watched her fumble around in front of each stall, not only to help her find a way through the crowd, but also to buy her small snacks and gadgets.The reason is that the person who started to bribe me by saying that he would buy me a lantern... forgot to bring his money bag and refused to go back.

After playing for about an hour, she held a rabbit lamp and went back contentedly with a stomach full of snacks.

"If I don't go back, my brother and father will find out. If they find me and sneak out again, I will die. By the way, I am very happy today, thank you~ You are such a good person! If I have the opportunity, I will come again I’m looking for you, and I’ll give you back the money I spent~ goodbye~” The girl waved to me, her pretty face flushed under the light of the lantern.

I stood outside the walls of the Li Mansion for a long time before going back. Thinking of her vivid expression and chattering words, I felt that the burden that was always on my heart disappeared for a while, and I felt very relaxed.

After that, I couldn't help smiling when I thought of that smart girl many times.I know that I like that girl, but I also understand that it is impossible for us, unless I really get into the first prize, but is it possible?

Not long after, I heard that the young lady of the Li family was engaged to the young master of the Lin family, another big family in Tongcheng, and they got married a year later.Opening the book with a wry smile, I know that everything is impossible.

I am a person without courage... no matter in the past or now.

After recovering from the memory, I found that at some point, the corpses in front of the Li Mansion were removed, and only a few police officers were still at the door.I saw a young man in white and a head catcher walking out of the gate of Li Mansion talking.The young man was one of the two survivors of the Li family, Miss Li's brother Li Yanxi, with a sad face, he was holding tightly to another girl who was also dressed in white.

I stared at the girl, stepped forward unconsciously, and stopped immediately.I was so far away that I couldn't hear what Li Yanxi said to the head catcher, I just looked at the girl.She held her brother tightly, never leaving a step, and her eyes followed her brother without leaving for a moment, as if she could never see anyone else in her eyes.

She didn't even respond to the head catcher talking to her, it was her brother who answered.She also threw herself into her brother's arms as if frightened, and held him tightly. His brother stroked her head even more sadly, and softly seemed to comfort him.

People who were close around showed sympathy, pointed at her, shook their heads and sighed.

My heart tightened, did she become like this because she was frightened?What's more, her only relative left is a brother.I feel sorry for her in my heart, such an innocent girl who has no worries, has become like this now.I clenched my fists and looked at that thin body nestling in her brother's arms, not daring to look up, she must be crying now.

Soon, her brother went back holding her shoulders, and the people in front of the door dispersed.I blew a gust of cold wind and walked home slowly, I was too useless to do anything!

Later, I stayed at the gate of Li's residence several times, wanting to see her again. When I heard that the Lin family was going to break off the engagement with her, my heart jumped.When Li's family held the funeral for Mr. Li and the others, I also went. I wanted to go to her and ask her if she still remembered me and if...would like to be with me.I figured it out, I like her, and I can't bear her to go on like this. I want to save her, give her happiness, and make her no longer suffer.

"Who are you, why are you in the backyard of my Li family?"

I froze for a moment, I didn't expect to be caught, turned around, and found that it was her brother, Li Yanxi, the young master of the Li family.

"I am...Sun, Sun Fusheng, my father...is, is...Shunhe...the shopkeeper of the tea house..." For some reason, I am obviously a gentle person, but under his eyes, I stuttered I couldn't speak a word fluently, and there was a feeling of tingling in my scalp, which made me want to leave immediately.

He smiled politely, "So it's Sun Xiucai from shopkeeper Sun's house. It looks like you've lost your way. You're going to the front hall and go this way. Behind this is the backyard."

"Brother." The voice was still as crisp as Huang Ying's, but it was not as lively as before, and there was no emotion at all. The person I always wanted to see came over and took her brother's hand, and looked at him silently.

I saw her brother helplessly touched her head with the other hand and said: "My brother has something to do, so I came to see you so late, you have something to eat first, and when you are done, my brother will take you to play. How are you?"

"Well, I want to listen to you play the piano." She took her brother's hand and replied lightly, but there was unmistakable joy and... attachment in her eyes?It seems that she has really been frightened a lot, being so clingy to her only brother, I began to feel sorry for her again.

"Is there something else for Sun Xiucai?" Li Yanxi asked gently as if she just remembered me.

She glanced at me disinterestedly and turned her head to continue staring at her brother, as if afraid that he would disappear.I opened my mouth and didn't know what to say, and finally walked away in embarrassment under Li Yanxi's gentle eyes.

I only vaguely heard a few conversations from the brothers and sisters behind, "That person just now... body..." "It's not easy to use, the soul seems too weak... It won't be too long..." "Forget it, we... Time...to go..."

I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, and I left there dejectedly because I didn't achieve the result I expected.Later, I didn't have time to go to Li's house anymore, because I don't know why, recently many matchmakers came to the door, and my mother was busy finding me a daughter-in-law, and stopped me from going out.

Later, I vaguely heard that the young master of the Lin family, who originally had a marriage contract with Miss Li but broke the engagement after Master Li's death, suffered from a serious disease and would not be able to have any offspring in the future.

Three months later, the government closed the case. The murder of the Li family was done by a group of robbers, but they were not caught.After finishing the funeral, Young Master Li and his sister moved to another place together, and there has been no news of them since then.

I have never been able to see her again.

I was sad for a while, and followed my mother's wishes to marry the daughter of a restaurant owner.I took the imperial examination until I was 40 years old and still failed to get the number one scholar, so I could only concentrate on running the teahouse left by my father after his death...

Many years later, at the age of 60, when I was wandering the street with one hand behind my back and a bird cage, I saw the long-vacant house of the Li family reopened. I stood at the door and looked in for a while, and a man and a man came out Two young women.The man's gentle smiling face made me feel a little familiar. He was talking to the woman with a smile: "Do you want to stay here for a few days?"

The woman took his hand and nodded: "I still want to listen to you play the piano." After thinking about it, she added, "One night.

"Okay." The man was a little helpless, but agreed with a smile.

It must be a young couple, I guess.It’s just that this husband dotes on his wife too much, it’s really outrageous, how can he be suppressed by his wife... I shook my head and carried the melodiously singing yellow warbler in the cage, and walked away slowly... just why? , I think they give me a very familiar feeling...

"Damn old man! Where did you go again!" The wrinkled old woman muttered dissatisfiedly, took the cage from my hand and hung it on the porch, "You know how to wander around all day long, and how long do you want the children to wait for you to eat?" !"

"Oh, I'm getting old, my ears are not working well, I eat first." I walked forward quickly with my hands behind my back.

The old woman shouted from behind, "You old man, walk slowly. You are so old, and you still think you are in good health. If you fall down, your old bones will not be broken! Oh, slow down!"

I laughed a few times and walked faster...

The author has something to say: I really like passers-by A, B, C, and Ding the most~ Ahem, actually, it makes me feel different when I look at it from the perspective of an irrelevant person~
