Taohuaxi

Chapter 77 Die Alone
The husband held the explosives in his arms and sat on the embankment until nine o'clock.

He hoped his prediction was wrong.

As the sky gradually gets brighter, it turns a light cyan color.

Soon, the sun came out.

The morning glow both gathers and disperses.Both messy and neat.unpredictable.

He held Dynamite tightly and stared straight ahead.

He stayed up all night and his eyes were red.

The water in the canal flowed without knowing his thoughts.Yangzhou City has not yet woken up, and occasionally farmers carry burdens and rush to the city early to sell vegetables.In front of the breakfast shop, the cages for steaming steamed buns were stacked high and steaming.A kind of peace and tranquility.

In the middle of the morning, he heard the sound of banging as he passed by the road along the river.

He couldn't help but look closer.Everyone's face was beaming.They carried the sedan chair and walked eastward.He knew that was the direction of Zhu Mansion.

His wife is getting married today.

The woman who always stood behind him with a smile and silence.The woman who had borne his child and whose belly he had laid his hand on all night long.He is a woman who subconsciously wants to protect her and wish her happiness.

I have to sit in this sedan chair and enter another house.

The sedan chair is so beautiful.

The curtains covering the sedan chair are made of bright red colored silk, embroidered with patterns of hundreds of sons, and embellished with gold and silver threads, making it full of grandeur.The steps made of vermilion-painted rattan were where she stepped into the sedan chair.The sedan body is made of ginkgo wood, with two immortals, Hehe and Hehe, embossed on both sides.The rich peonies on the sedan curtain are particularly vivid.

The husband thought that the man she was going to marry really liked her.Every detail is attentive.

The days of peace and joy that she had told him with tears would soon come to her.

What does it matter whether her husband is him?

He owed her stability.

She has never had an easy time since marrying into the Cheng family.

He has given her too many twists and turns.

He would always remember the raging grief on her cold and pure face.

The gentleman followed the sedan chair for several miles.

He hid under the big locust tree opposite Zhu Mansion and waited until she went out.

Although she was covered with a red hijab and he didn't see her face, he was relieved to see her getting into the sedan with his own eyes.

The sun suddenly hid behind the clouds.

It was getting cloudy.

Dark clouds suddenly rose, getting closer and closer to the ground.

He rushed towards the embankment.

Sure enough, a heavy rain came down halfway on the way.

The wind was so strong that one could hardly keep his eyes open.

The teacher knows that at this moment, disaster is knocking on the door of Yangzhou City.

Such heavy rainstorms continue to fall, and the water in the canal will overflow and pour back in just a few hours.

No one in the Yangzhou government office would dare to make a decision.He is well versed in the rules of officialdom.Those people are afraid of being involved, and if something goes wrong, they will blame each other.The ruler's ways are faulty and his ministers' duties are unclear. The world is already riddled with holes.

Reports were submitted layer by layer, and when the news reached the capital, perhaps before it had even seen the light of day, the memorial was "cleverly" buried.Even if the memorial comes to light, the current emperor is willing to issue an order to release the flood, but it will be too late when the order reaches Yangzhou.

How many people in Yangzhou City will die from this dike burst?

These people are just cold numbers that will be reported in future reports.At most, it only caused a few sighs from everyone in the temple.Some people don't even sigh.

The husband thought of the vegetable farmers who got up early and carried their loads into the city, the steam rising from the steamer steaming steamed buns, and the procession of people who were blowing and beating to welcome the bride.There should be many mornings like this in Yangzhou City.She also deserves to have a safe wedding.

That's too late.

That's too late.

The water in the canal looks like a beast with its mouth open.

What would this huge human world have to do without him?

He did not hesitate to exchange his life for the safety of the whole city.

Through the rushing rain curtain, he took one last look at the sedan chair.

Sangyu.

He shouted the name from the bottom of his heart.

Sangyu, my wife.

You're doing well.

He held the gunpowder and used his flesh and blood as a blunderbuss, and jumped towards the flood outlet.

The huge explosion, accompanied by the roar of the canal flood, shook the city of Yangzhou.

Death comes quickly like the wind.

water depth.

fiery.

His two deaths gave him a taste of both kinds of cruelty.

If he could do it over again, he would still go this way.

He remembered the time when he and Sang Yu had their first relationship.On a rich and beautiful night, the two of them were lying on the couch sweating profusely.Sang Yu asked him: "Second Master, do you love me?"

He was silent for a while.

He never mentioned the word "love" to anyone in his life.

Sang Yu didn't press him, she turned over and fell asleep soon.She seemed to be afraid of hearing other answers from him.Many times, she thought that the person he loved was Xun Yitang.Even he himself once thought this was the case.

When did he understand it?
It was probably when I had the idea of ​​divorcing my wife.

If the person accompanying him at that time was Xun Yitang, he would die with her.But it was her who stayed with him, and he instinctively wanted to save her.Even in the most decisive way.He just wanted her to live well.Even if she hates him.

She was just the wife he had betrothed to when he was young, not the one he chose.But he was so sad to lose her.

In prison, the moment he handed her the divorce letter, his heart was like a piece of thin ice that he stepped on, breaking into pieces.

She tore up the divorce papers and he almost said what was in his heart.

In the end, he held back.

After the cell door was closed, he squatted on the ground holding his head and cried.He recalled scenes about her over and over in his mind.

What he was attached to was not the love between the two of them, but her warm hand on his heart in the dark night.

In front of Taohua Temple, he kept staring at her, so he ignored Xun Yitang.

Xun Yitang lit the fire and he noticed.

Words can be faked, actions can be faked, but the heart cannot be faked.

He loves Sangyu.

Deeper than he imagined.

He loved her clumsily, but his words were like sharp knives.

Rushing into the fire and hugging Xun Yitang was just taking advantage of the situation.Firstly, the New Deal was abolished, and he was completely dejected; secondly, Sang Yu was so strong, and only this move could make her let go completely and start over; thirdly, her mentor's daughter was an idiot, which allowed her to die. , achieving the perfection she imagined was worthy of the young man's companionship, and made up for her lifelong misdeeds.

Who knows, God's will did not let him burn to death.

That day, a heavy rain saved him; today, a heavy rain sent him away.

Perhaps, God has mercy on the people and allows him to die later to save the suffering in Yangzhou today.

In a daze, he seemed to see Sang Yu walking towards him wearing a homely nightgown.

Her smile was as cool as the shade of trees in June: "Second Master, take a rest."

Ok.

rest.

Now I really have to rest forever and ever.

He strained to keep his eyes open.

There are cliffs in human life, but there are no cliffs in Nianqing.

To betray the people is like betraying the country, how can we bear to betray them?The people cannot be blamed, and neither can the minister be blamed.

terribly sorry.

Those words of love for you, I will never be able to say to you in this life.

You know me, I'm never good with words.From then on, there will be others speaking soft words in your ears for the rest of your life.

May your descendants surround you.

May you live a hundred years of happiness.

May you never remember me again.

After a loud bang.

The bearers were all stunned in place.

The musician forgot to play.

Many people ran towards the river embankment following the sound.

I opened the sedan curtain and looked towards the river. The rain curtain was so dense that I couldn't see anything clearly.

Feng Gao scolded everyone: "What are you doing standing still! Why don't you hurry up! If you miss the right time, I'll take it from you!"

Everyone was afraid and continued to move forward.

I asked: "Douya, what happened over there?"

Feng Gao said: "No matter what happens, my sister's wedding is what matters."

I lowered the sedan curtain, feeling inexplicably panicked.

With such heavy rain, what happened to the river embankment?
I said to Hua Lian, "Go and have a look."

Hua Lian said hurriedly: "Yes, my boss."

Hua Lian left and didn't come back for a long time.

Arriving at the gate of Qin Mansion, the sedan landed on the ground.

Qin Mingxu, dressed in a red brocade robe and wearing a crown of jade, stood under the eaves waiting for me.

Feng Gao helped me out of the sedan chair, and the servant girl came to pick me up with an umbrella.Qin Mingxu snatched the umbrella from her hand, raised it high with his only good hand, and came forward.

The concierge said in a long voice: "The magpie climbs the branch to welcome the newlyweds, and we will be united forever!"

Feng Gao put my hand into Qin Mingxu's.

At this time, someone came and reported to Feng Gao: "Mr. Factory Master, my subordinates have important matters to report!"

Feng Gao thought for a while and said to Qin Mingxu: "Let's have a wedding drink later."

Then, he said to me, "Sister, I'll come back as soon as I go," and followed the person who came.

Hua Lian left, Feng Gao also left, and I suddenly felt empty.

There was a lot of excitement in the Qin Mansion with gongs and drums beating.

Qin Mingxu led me through the door.

Amidst the music, he said softly: "Sang Yu, I just saw you getting off the sedan, and my heart is at ease."

With my head covered, I looked down at his shoes.

There are lots of mud spots on it.

He must have walked into the rain and looked around again and again.

I said softly: "It's a good time for you and me. I should have come here."

He held my hand tightly.

A boy brought a brazier and asked me to step on it.

According to the custom, when a married woman passes by the house, she does not need to worship in the church, but can just drink wine to worship the gods.However, Qin Mingxu insisted on marrying him as a first wedding ceremony.Cai Qingyao was sitting in the high hall.I stepped over the brazier, and Qin Mingxu and I bowed to the sky, the earth, the high hall, and then performed the husband-wife ceremony.

The concierge shouted: "The ceremony is completed——"

The butler greeted the guests to sit down and have wine.

The elder of the Qin family wrote my name into the family tree one stroke at a time.

In this way, Qin Mingxu and I became husband and wife...
