C133 I can'st live this long
Song Zhien was still a child. Even though he had been in school for a few years, and had personally witnessed the events that happened this afternoon, he was still frightened by the chain of events that occurred in the afternoon. First, Wu Niang's viciousness, and then the wild wolves with blood and flesh hanging from their teeth.
It took a long time before Zhang Xuan could explain everything clearly.
Now that he was back, there was no need for these men here. The Minister of Police sent for a doctor, while he himself and a few village elders stayed behind to guard the village.
At the moment, Mian Niang had already been carried by the female servants to the small room, with the curtains drawn and the door closed, filigree took the lead and took off her clothes. The people in the room couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the water bowl in A Yun's hands directly smashed onto their feet.
"This... "This …"
This was just too cruel. Everyone had already completed what she had said in their hearts. He turned his head away, afraid to look at them.
The back of female mother who was lying on the brick bed had become badly mutilated. Not a single piece of her skin remained intact, and there were even a few bloody marks extending all the way to her thighs.
"hyposome is right. He doesn't want them to come back alive!"
filigree brushed away the hair at Mian Niang's temples, but her hand was burned by the heat on her forehead.
"A Yun." She woke female mother up from his daze. "Go get another basin of water!"
As if he had just awoken from a dream, A Yun hurriedly picked up the washbowl from the ground.
"This is too outrageous, after all, this was their family back then. It's one thing to make the Dalang take over their troops, but children are ignorant, and if you were to teach them a lesson, no one would be able to say anything.
The one who spoke was Aunt Chen, his words resonated with everyone in the room.
A Yun quickly refilled the water supply. filigree wrung the kernels and gently wiped the blood off Mian Niang's back.
When the hot water came in contact with the wound, the dried up salt became moist again. Mian Niang's body immediately twitched as she let out a painful moan.
filigree was so scared that he immediately stopped his hands. He did not dare to casually move, and lightly called Mian Niang by his name.
female mother on the bed, however, only moaned in pain without any response.
The female servants who could not bear to see this made an excuse and walked out. When filigree turned around, the only ones left in the room were and Aunt Chen.
In the main house, Madame Song Li was accompanied by A Yunniang, still comforting her youngest son. Ever since the siblings came back, she had only glanced at Mian Niang at the start, but it was only a glance, and she no longer cared about Mian Niang.
The filigree could no longer hold it in. "Soaring" stood up in an instant, and stuffed the kernels in his hands into A Yun's hands. He walked out aggressively, and walked straight to the main house.
A Yun pressed against the door and heard the furious roar of the filigree: "Song Li, don't you only have this one son, and that's your daughter who only has half a life left lying there, the one who only has half a life left to save your foolish son, can you go and see her? You don't need to do anything, you can just go and see her, she's your flesh and blood, and she's fallen from your body, do you still have a heart?"
A Yun turned his head to look at Mian Niang lying on the bed. She tried her best to wipe her tears away, but she could not help but tear up.
Someone walked over from behind her. Aunt Chen took the kernels from her hands and washed it again, then continued to wipe Mian Niang's body. Mian Niang's body started to twitch again.
"I have to wipe it clean first. When the doctor arrives, I can apply the medicine. I can't stay like this forever!" It doesn't hurt, Mian Niang. It doesn't hurt, just bear with it … "
Although she said those words to comfort Mian Niang, it was actually more like comforting herself. Facing the Mian Niang who was in so much pain, she had to muster up enough courage to wipe her wounds.
"Aunt, this is really a family with a heart of wolves and a heart of dogs."
A Yun bit her lips and said resentfully. Her tears fell on the back of Mian Niang's hand and she exhaled a small circle.
"That's right, this entire family has no conscience!"
"Are we really going to be enemies just because we can't be relatives?" What's more, wasn't the change of marriage proposed by their family? "
A Yun was still an unmarried female mother, and in his heart, he still held onto his hope for the future of marriage.
"Foolish child, didn't you propose to change the marriage for the sake of happiness? Originally, the family of that marriage wasn't willing to do it. "
Aunt Chen rubbed the wound on Mian Niang's back while sighing. Although village people could occasionally talk, but they could only quarrel and gossip, or make a ruckus, if it got bigger, it would just be a fight. Standing with their waists tucked in, swearing was already their limit.
It was his first time seeing someone want to take his life.
"I heard that if it wasn't for that Mayer's disease woman, Big Brother Song wouldn't have taken responsibility for abusing his wife. Even if it wasn't for the hardships Mian Niang had endured since she got married, she still wouldn't have acted this way out of consideration for her relationship with the Song Family."
"Friendship? Stupid girl, can't you see that? What relationship is there? If there really is a relationship, would she leave?" Will they send Dalang to the army? "
Inside the house, when Song Zhien heard about the situation in the Sis A, he wanted to come over and take a look. He was stopped by someone, and in the end, he was already old.
However, Madame Song was not moved, and only said: "What are you afraid of? She's got a tough life! "
filigree said angrily: "This mother of yours, she is really my mother!"
A Yunniang shook her arms off on the spot and said: "You are truly heartless, even if Mian Niang was taken back, and your family lost someone, she would still be your biological daughter right? If you really want to hate her, then hate yourselves. At that time, you shouldn't have switched the marriage with Mian Niang, and replaced your son with a daughter-in-law instead! "
A long time later, she wanted to say something, but she hesitated, "What do you guys know? She's reaping what she sowed!"
"It's hard to say the same thing as you. I don't know if it's because we don't know human speech or if you don't understand human speech!"
A Yunniang followed filigree out, leaving Madame Song who was holding onto her walking stick and staring blankly into space with a complicated expression. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Some of them advised Madame Song a few times, but seeing that she was still the same, they couldn't help but to sigh. Some of them felt that Madame Song was right, no matter what, it was Mian Niang's own fault that she had been abandoned and that she had shamed her own family.
If he was perfectly fine and had an easy time, how could he give up his wife so casually?
Seeing that there was nothing much they could do, and that staying would not help them in any way, no one would fearlessly find the Prince Rong to settle the scores. Thus, they could only advise Madame Song to think of opening up and to take their leave.
The Minister stayed at the back and watched as the clan elders left, leaving Song Zhien and Mother Song in the room. After opening her mouth a few times, her face was filled with a look of vexation, and she advised helplessly: "Sister-in-law, you should go take a look. No matter what happened in the past, Mian Niang is right."
"Big brother, you don't have to persuade me. I'm not stupid. I know what's going on!"
"Blame me for being too quick with your words and being unable to hold it in. I shouldn't have told you about what I heard back then. I shouldn't have separated the two of you from each other!"
"If you don't say it, how can you? If you don't say it, big brother, I'm afraid even at death's door, I still don't know why my son went into the army. Why did that man of mine die, and why did he treat that scoundrel as his benefactor …"
As she spoke, she could not help but shed tears again as she thought of her eldest son and husband.
The Minister wanted to advise, but he didn't know what to say. He could only shake his head and wait in the courtyard for the doctor to arrive.
Song Zhien vaguely understood what he meant, so he asked his mother what she and Li Chang meant.
Madame Song shook her head, holding her youngest son in her embrace and said softly: "hyposome, it's alright. You must be careful in the future and not provoke those people.
"Mother, are you talking about the Sister-in-Law?"
"No, not her. Also, son, remember this, she won't be your sister-in-law anymore. She has no relationship with this family anymore, do you understand?"
"I understand, Mother. But, Mother, I still want to go see Sis A, you don't know, today's whip was soaked in salt water, I personally saw it, I didn't lie to you at all, they just soaked it right in front of me, they even said that they would teach me a lesson, Sis A went, they said that it was twenty whips, but that woman didn't keep her word, and only stopped after hitting me a total of thirty whips …"
He seemed to be afraid that his mother wouldn't believe him. He repeated the words he had said to everyone before, but he couldn't understand why his mother didn't want to go see the Sis A. He only felt wronged for the Sis A.
However, as he spoke, his mother's embrace was given away, and he fell onto the kang behind him. If he didn't help fast enough, he would have bumped into the edge of the kang already.
The child looked at his mother who had fainted and immediately had no idea what to do. He could only call out to her repeatedly.
When the female servants in the courtyard heard the noise, two of them immediately came in to check, and touched Madame Song's forehead, what a guy, it was not even a little colder than Mian Niang's forehead.
One of them saw the water and pancakes on the table and sighed, "There's no need to say anymore, they were already boiling hot. Yesterday, they were talking nonsense, but they didn't eat anything or drink water.
"This family, how will they live their days!"
The other person looked up and saw that Song Zhien's lips were peeling, and his forehead was still a dark green. He could not help but sigh as well.
It took a long time before Zhang Xuan could explain everything clearly.
Now that he was back, there was no need for these men here. The Minister of Police sent for a doctor, while he himself and a few village elders stayed behind to guard the village.
