Kingdom of Heaven and Han

When we left the inn, it was completely dark. There were no lights on the road, and the moon above looked big and bright, dimly illuminating. The wind blowing on the body is cold and biting, but the lights of the houses on the roadside warm people's hearts.

Sun Xiaoyi looked very excited and said to Chunchun: "You dare to think? Wang Xuanfu actually knew my name! Shi Dutong valued me, and he was like my reborn parent! Wang Xuanfu valued me, how should I be treated? In return!"

After saying that, he kept high-fiving in excitement.

Chunchun just walked with his head lowered and said nothing, showing no reaction to the excited Sun Xiaoyi.

Sun Xiaoyi was still recalling the scene of the conversation with Wang Xiaolie just now, and did not notice anything abnormal about Chunchun.

After sending Chunchun to his residence, Sun Xiaoyi wanted to go in and have a chat, but Chunchun did not invite him. Liu Sanniang came out of the house and complained repeatedly that she came back late. Sun Xiaoyi felt it was boring, so he said goodbye and went back.

Chunchun returned to the house and sat alone at the table in the living room, staring at the table in trance.

Liu Sanniang added charcoal to the charcoal plate. When she came back and saw Chunchun's strange behavior, she asked aloud: "You young couple went out to eat, you and I, what else are you unhappy about? Could it be that Sun Xiaoyi caused it somewhere? Are you, are you annoying him?"

Chunchun shook his head and said nothing. After sitting quietly for a while, Chunchun suddenly asked: "Sister, you said that when we were in Pingyao, we made a living by selling our bodies. Did many people look down on us?"

Liu Sanniang was stunned: "Why are you asking this? Everything is fine with us now, so don't think about the past."

Chunchun sighed: "I didn't think deeply before, so I lived happily. Now that I think about it, selling one's body for money is probably looked down upon."

Liu Sanniang said coldly: "I don't want to deceive myself and say it's a last resort. We sell our bodies because we are too lazy and don't want to go out to do the tiring and hard work. Moreover, we are greedy for vanity and want to make a living. Better. If normal people go out to work without money, will they starve to death? Since we have done it, we must admit it. If we do such a thing, others will certainly look down upon us."

At this point, he added: "Don't blame others for looking down on us. It's us who have done the things that others look down upon."

Chunchun nodded: "Yes, it's all our fault for doing things that make people look down upon. I didn't think deeply about it before, and just did it in a daze. I never thought that people would look down on us. And during that time, we ate a lot of food. If I haven’t finished my meal, I still don’t know how long I will survive, and I have no right to think about it.”

Liu Sanniang said: "As long as you know that we can't do anything, that's fine. Don't think about it now, lest you cause trouble."

Chunchun shook his head: "I can't think about it. Brother Xiao Yi is now a commander in the army and a person of status. If I marry her, I will inevitably be criticized by others. Alas -"

Liu Sanniang said: "Why don't you just ignore those people? People hate the poor and love the rich. As long as you live a good life, there will be people who will flatter you. As long as you play more with those who flatter you, Ignore those who point you out, it’s not in your way.”

After speaking, Liu Sanniang shook her head and smiled. In her opinion, Chunchun's idea was very strange.

During the Song Dynasty, people did take money more seriously than women's chastity. Just ignore the gossip among the people.

After hearing this, Chunchun stared at the table again without speaking.

Liu Sanniang yawned and said to Chunchun: "It's late at night, I'm going to bed. Don't think too much. How many people in Luoyang know about our past? Those who know, if you live better than others Well, he quickly forgot about it.”

After saying that, he stood up, walked to the door of the room, turned around and said, "Don't stay up too late, go to bed early."

Chunchun didn't raise her head, just said: "Sister, go to bed early. I'll sit down for a while."

The night is already deep, and the stars in the sky are dotted and twinkling. The wind has stopped, and the entire night sky has become gentle. Chunchun opened the door and looked at the quiet night and the soft evening breeze. Looking at a pine tree in the courtyard, I felt a little crazy.

Early the next morning, Sun Xiaoyi came to Chunchun's residence to knock on the door.

Liu Sanniang was awakened from her dream, turned over, and muttered while putting on her clothes. I kept blaming myself for why someone got up so early and did nothing else but disturb me and prevent me from sleeping.

After getting dressed, Liu Sanniang walked through the living room and went directly to the courtyard to open the door. Seeing that it was Sun Xiaoyi, he complained: "I came back at midnight last night, and you came to knock on the door early this morning. If you two can't be separated, you might as well live together."

Sun Xiaoyi was surprised when he saw it was Liu Sanniang. Asked: "Sorry to bother Sanniang. Why didn't Chunchun come to open the door?"

After hearing this, Liu Sanniang was stunned and said, "That's right, why didn't you see Chunchun this morning? It seems that she didn't go to bed last night."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked toward the house. He tilted his head and thought carefully, where did Chunchun go last night.

Sun Xiaoyi turned around and closed the door, quickly caught up with Sanniang, and asked: "I think Sanniang is still dreaming. If Chunchun doesn't come back to sleep at night, what will she do?"

Liu Sanniang shook her head: "We're back. We chatted for a long time. But it seems like she didn't go to bed?"

As he spoke, he entered the living room. At this time, it was still dark and it was still dark, so it was difficult to see clearly in the living room. Sanniang took the tinder, lit the fire in the charcoal basin, and prepared to light the lamp. As soon as I turned around, I saw a corpse hanging in front of the window, dangling there.

"Ah——" Sanniang was so frightened that she threw the tinder aside.

"What's going on?" Sun Xiaoyi took a few steps forward and asked Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang pointed to the corpse and said: "Chun Chun - Chunchun -, she hanged herself!"

In the dim light, Sun Xiaoyi looked intently, who was it not Chunchun who was hanging in front? He quickly picked up the tinder and lit the lamp.

Chunchun hung on the north window, with her feet not far from the ground, as if she was asleep.

Sun Xiaoyi stepped forward and put the body down, held it in his arms, and stared at Chunchun's face. He murmured: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

After a while, Liu Sanniang said to Sun Xiaoyi: "Put the body down. How does it look like holding it?"

Sun Xiaoyi held the body, turned it around a few times, and said blankly: "Where to put it? Where to put it?"

Liu Sanniang said to Sun Xiaoyi: "Put it on the bed in the room, it's clean there."

Sun Xiaoyi carried Chunchun's body into the back room. Liu Sanniang picked up the lamp and prepared to go into the back room. When I picked up the lamp, I suddenly found a piece of paper on the table. Picking up the paper, I saw a few words written on it: "The relationship has always been shallow, but the love is deep. Like a flower and a beautiful family, it will eventually become a dream."
