Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 21

When a female guest comes to the house, she is led into the meeting hall alone, and the servants are withdrawn by a special screen. She is already guarding the door, and something big must happen.

Ling Dang waited at the door of the cave and looked in. As long as he exposed his eyes, he would be caught by someone outside the door.

After catching him a few times, Ling Dang became so embarrassed that his face became thinner, he shrank back with sullen eyebrows and drooped eyes, and sat under the eaves of the corridor with a paper kite in hand to recall the plot of the book.

She didn't remember that there was a monk named Ji Ji who served as Ling Qiong's guard.

Just then I asked the maid and learned that today's visitors were the Ning family from Qu Town, Jichang, who came to reminisce about the past. Ling Jing specially ordered her mother-in-law and maid to block the entrance to the front hall and prevent her from coming forward.

As for the Ning family, the only one she could think of was the Ning family where the sick son Ning wanted Ling Qiong to marry him.

But the plot doesn't match up. According to Ling Qiong's personal storyline in the book, the Ning family shouldn't have come to their door so early.

There are many confidants of Lan Yan who surround Ling Qiong in the book, but there is not one who can make Ling Qiong tempted. Only the Ning family appears in the middle and late stages, and the thick ink highlights the third son of Ning. He is famous and named Xianqian. Unfortunately, he was born with deficiencies and diseases. Although he is weak and has fair skin and a slender figure, his eloquence and wit are unparalleled in the world. He is stunning as soon as he appears. He took Ling Qiong and made her treat him differently.

Selfishly, I thought that Third Young Master Ning was Ling Qiong's official match, so I hurriedly scrolled through the ending to get a sneak peek. However, someone got jealous of the talent, and Third Young Master Ning fell into an incurable condition, and erected a monument with a handful of loess.

She really couldn't accept this ending, so she simply turned the page and ignored the glass shards in the second half of the article, pretending that she had read the entire article.

It's better now, I am immersed in the scene, and I have to bite the bullet and swallow the sadomasochistic love full of life and death.

Ling Dang looked up to the sky and sighed, deeply regretting it. Suddenly, the maid and woman shouted from the front hall, "Please call the doctor quickly."

"Oh my living ancestor, what's wrong? Why did Guan Qi carry you on his back and make yourself so embarrassed and fight with others? The third girl will have to nag you again when she sees it..."

"Sixth Young Master, are you okay? Why are you covered in blood while watching chess? Let the younger one carry it."

"Get out of my way, get out of my way! Get out of my way!"

Ling Cen's hoarse voice silenced all the chattering chatter.

After a while, Ling Cen, who was sweating profusely, ran straight to Chongbai Courtyard carrying the bloody Li Guanqi on his back, with drops of blood dripping along the way.

Even though Li Guanqi was thin and short due to malnutrition, he was still half as tall as Ling Cen, who was only six years old. Ling Cen was almost half carrying and half dragging the seriously injured Li Guanqi while pulling the donkey.

The boys chased after him, helping to lift his legs, while the maids and women hurriedly chased him into the courtyard holding a basin to collect water, a handkerchief, a bandage, and scissors.

Lingdang raised his feet and followed.

As soon as she stepped onto the steps, Ling Huai led the panting doctor into the hospital.

As soon as the maids saw the doctor, they shouted into the room, "The doctor is here." The young man and his mother-in-law quickly got out. The young man got out of the way, and the old woman grabbed the doctor and rushed into the house.

There was water inside and around the house, and basins of bloody water and cloth strips were brought out, and basins of clean hot water and cloth were brought in.

Ling Huai held her in his arms and prevented her from entering the house, "Acen is fine."

Lingdang held his arm and looked inside, "I know he's fine. The child is mute. He doesn't speak or cry out in pain. He bleeds so much but can't hear a single sound. I'm worried that something will happen to him."

"Child? He is older than you." Ling Huai pulled her out of the circle of people, "It just looks scary. He will be fine."

"What happened?" Lingdang turned around three times.

Ling Huai stopped under the eaves and said: "The troubles are caused in the academy. Usually there are teachers and dogmas in the academy who are suppressing each other, and there will be some resentment. They just say a few harsh words, and when they get angry, they will have a small fight and then they will let it go. Let’s break up.”

"But you also know how Acen opens his mouth, especially about the right and wrong outside. He also likes to inquire, so it's better not to open his mouth. When he opens his mouth, he is not afraid of meat and vegetables and will say anything. Rumors are mixed true and false, but there is always a truth. The two gossips are true, and it is inevitable that he will be hated by others. What's more, he relies on his skills in fists, kicks, and poison to become more willful and reckless."

He picked up the dead leaves on the railing of the stool and pulled her to sit down. "Thanks to my eldest sister, the Ling family has made a name for itself in Shangfucheng. In the academy, my eldest sister is the God of Wealth and can spend money to buy people's hearts." , caused trouble, and the all-around third sister helped him deal with the mess. The sixth master Ling was famous, who wouldn't give him a thumbs up? In the past, he didn't have a companion to follow, so others would naturally be angry, but now with him Li Guanqi didn't want to be seen by him, so he found an excuse to take revenge."

Lingdang frowned, "Acen also bullied him?"

"That's not true. I just treat him as nothing."

"So you let others bully you?"

Ling Dang was shocked when he thought about seeing Li Guanqi with his head drooped and his limbs lying limply on Ling Cen's back. He didn't look like he was okay.

"Acen was in the lecture hall at the time. The teacher drew his endorsement, and Li Guanqi was waiting outside. He was made things difficult by a disciple who had returned from practicing archery, and they deliberately made trouble for him and sent him out of the academy. As soon as he went out, he was immediately surrounded by a group of people."

Outside the mountain gate of the academy, a group of disciples in arrow robes, carrying quivers on their backs and holding bows, surrounded Li Guanqi.

"Where?"

Li Guanqi hung his head and huddled hard, unable to move forward or retreat. He tightly folded his arms and tried his best to reduce his sense of presence.

"Speak, why don't you speak? Isn't your master very good at speaking?" He started to stretch his arms as he spoke.

Li Guanqi was pushed back and staggered, and the disciple who was blocking him kicked him over. Seeing this, the people in front of him made a concerted effort to retreat, and he lay down on the ground. Then, the disciple raised his foot and stepped on his vest, with the sole of his foot touching He carried it on his back and ground it so hard that it instantly hurt like broken bones.

"Mute?"

"Isn't he just a mute, haha."

"Do you know who I am? Talk!"

"I asked you to speak, but you didn't hear me? Speak quickly!"

"This kid doesn't know what's good and what's good, he's looking for a beating!"

The punches and kicks were like rain.

The last ray of light on the sky fell over the Western Mountain. Night fell in Chongbai Courtyard, and the servants and maids filed out.

The doctor was wiping his sweat. It was so sweaty that half of his sleeves were wet.

"The bleeding has stopped, and I'm fine for the time being. I just need to take good care of myself from now on. There should be blood stasis in my brain, and I won't be able to touch it for a year and a half. Hold a piece of old ginseng in your mouth, and moisten your mouth with water from time to time. Don't pour water on him, wait for him to wake up with someone, and carefully see how he reacts after waking up. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid it's hard to say that he is blind and deaf. I have little talent and little knowledge, and I can't be sure about the medicine for a while. It will be prescribed for seven days. The taboos are all up there. You can take good care of it in private. After seven days, I will go to the clinic to diagnose and prescribe the medicine. If there is nothing else, I will take a step forward. The patient is important and there is no need to send him far away. "

The blood in the room was mixed with the smell of medicine, and Shen Ke smelled bad. Li Guanqi had a cloth wrapped around his head, lying flat on the bed with his eyes closed, and his lips were pale.

"That's too much!" Ling Cen clenched his fists and rushed out.

"What are you doing?" Ling Huai pressed his shoulder.

"Finding a settlement with those nang guys! You can't defeat them, but they're just playing dirty tricks!" Ling Cen's eyes turned red with anger. "You haven't developed a memory yet?" Ling Huai pushed him hard. Ling Cen stepped back and his back hit the curtain, "Who did he suffer for?"

"You know why you bullied him. If you had been kinder, you wouldn't have been like this. Settling accounts? It's so majestic. Since it's so majestic, why can't you protect your own people? It turns out to be a paper tiger, a fake majesty .”

Ling Cen stared at Ling Huai, his teeth grinding loudly.

"What? What I said is wrong?" Ling Huai's eyes were filled with doubts. "As an elder brother, I rarely interfere in your affairs. This is because I know that there are thousands of things in the world and all kinds of reasons. I won't let you break your head, even if I tell you something. I can’t even listen to it. I just took advantage of today’s incident to talk nonsense all at once.”

"Young Master Ling Liu, do you know what true majesty is? In the academy, you show off your power, dominate the world, your fellow disciples fawn over you, and you come first in everything. That's because the eldest sister has earned enough Buddha's face. Even if you are thousands of miles away, your majesty is still there. Some people are rushing to admit that you are such a monk. What's the point of yelling and shouting, that's not your prestige, it belongs to my eldest sister, your prestige is there."

Ling Huai pointed at Li Guanqi, who was unconscious on the bed.

"It was beaten into a ball of mud and couldn't be picked up."

"No!" Ling Cen's breath was as thick as a cow's breath in his nose, and he clenched his fists tightly, his joints turning white.

"That's all, yes or no, you can make your own decision. Ah Dang, let's go." Ling Huai stepped forward and took the frowning Ling Dang, turned around and left the house without saying anything.

Ling Cen squatted down and held his head, tears filling his eyes. He dropped it to the ground with a thud, and murmured: "No..."

The candlelight in the room was dim, and two shadows, one long and one short, were pulled out of the open door. It was Ling An, who had short arms and short legs. He climbed into the door with his swaying little round body. Behind him, the woman followed him with her hunched waist and stretched out her hands to protect him. side to prevent him from falling.

"Sugar." Ling An tilted his little head, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was shaking unsteadily. He looked at Ling Cen who was crouched on the ground with his head bent for several times, stretched out his hand, and touched the fleshy little There was a candy with the wrapper spread out in the palm of his hand, "Eat it."

Ling Cen wiped his face with his elbow, stood up, turned his back to Ling An, wiped his nose again, and said angrily: "I won't eat."

Ling An stuffed the candy into his mouth, walked around in front of him, stretched out his other hand, held a piece of snack in his palm, and said, "Cake, eat."

The voice was as soft as glutinous rice, which made people's hearts melt. Ling Cen couldn't keep a straight face, so he took the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. Sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious, Ling Cen's red rabbit-like eyes gradually showed a smile, but he curled his lips and said critically: "It tastes bad."

"Bad!" Although Ling An was young, he still had a temper, lacked vocabulary, and could not curse. A bad word was the only bad word he knew. He angrily pulled his mother-in-law out and said, "Sue every family!"

The two were playing around in the room. After a while, Ling Qiong and Ling Jing rushed over, followed closely by Ji Ji.

"Come and take a look." Ling Qiong immediately stepped forward to check on Li Guanqi's injury.

Ling Jing stood emotionlessly in front of the curtain, while Ling Cen had already transformed into a quail, standing behind her with his shoulders hunched and his back hunched over, looking at her expression secretly and not daring to say anything.

Ling Jing said: "Ah Huai has told me. I won't punish you, I won't blame you, and I won't help you. You handle this matter yourself. Whatever the final result is, you bear all the consequences. Because you can't protect me today. That person is you who we will not be able to protect in the future, Acen, you should take good care of your temper."

There was a sudden gust of wind outside the house, blowing off the leaves all over the ground. No matter how green they were in spring and summer, they were still withered and yellow in autumn and winter, and they drifted back to their roots.

In the front hall, the Ning family's maid and mother-in-law were waiting impatiently. They saw the courtyard getting dark little by little, and the bright lights in the hall were turned on before Mrs. Ning was sent out.

"Second Madam!"

"Go back."

The Ning family members got back into the carriage, the driver hung up a lantern, whipped his horse and drove out of the deep alley.

The mother-in-law asked: "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Ning Er was a little lost in thought. As the carriage swayed, she faintly uttered something confusing, "That child is really similar."

The mother-in-law was confused, "Second Madam?"

Mrs. Ning Er collected her thoughts and her brows suddenly became serious, "I'm telling you, Miss Li, how can she be so capable of substituting others? If she really had such foresight, how could she have been blinded by a fool and go on a hunger strike to force her to do so?" Ba Xin Ba Lung wants to get married, but what happens next? Women, you have to keep your eyes open at all times. Once you marry the wrong person, your whole life will be ruined."

A thin light flashed through the gap between the sedan curtains, and it caught her eyes from time to time, as if a light was flickering. She said lightly: "I checked the child's breath with my own hands, and there was no breath at all, and even the Great Luo Immortal could not save him. After death, there were so many pairs of eyes to check and examine the body, and it was impossible to die again. Miss Li couldn't bear to let go of her child, and she didn't believe me, so she told me such a big lie to make me loose my guard."

The mother-in-law rubbed her shoulders and said, "There is no resurrection after death, Madam, you can rest assured."

It was really tiring for her to deal with the two girls of the Ling family alone, and her head hurt badly. Mrs. Ning Er rubbed her forehead and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Li is stupid, but the children she gave birth to have sharp teeth." Sharp-tongued, cunning and weird."

Over the years, I have never seen anything in the world, even the most chaotic people have encountered it. I have never seen such a wicked girl's family. It is simply unreasonable.

"Then..." The mother-in-law hesitated to ask.

Mrs. Ning Er shook her head lightly.

"This……"

Mrs. Ning Er smiled, "What's the hurry? If you don't drink a toast or drink a fine wine, they will come to ask me for help. Besides, today is not all without success. Their fourth sister, Miss Ling Si, if Pu Yu County Secretary Yunshi saw her face..."

She smiled brightly, and her ulterior motives were hard to hide, "Once we pull the strings, it will be like adding wings to a tiger when we get on the Si Yunshi Bridge in Puyu County."

The horse carriage hoofed and the sedan chair stopped at Ning Mansion accompanied by the dark night sky.

The maid carried the lamp, and the mother-in-law supported her. Mrs. Ning entered the door and went down the steps. The servants rushed forward, throwing on their clothes and handing over the stove.

"Master, are you resting?"

"Not yet. I'm reading in the room. I'm waiting here and there until you come back. Don't worry, Baba is waiting for you."

"It's hard for him." Mrs. Ning Er couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"The young master is filial."

"Do you have a bad cough today?"

The mother-in-law thought about it for a while and said, "It's cold at night, so the young master is holding his temper and waiting for you. He coughed a few more times than yesterday."

There is a candle under the window of the east chamber to accompany reading, the sound of turning pages is rustling, and coughing is frequent. In front of the case is a person with hair as thick as ink, holding a book in one hand, with knuckles, his eyebrows are slightly knitted together with coughing, and he is still wearing a snow cloak. His jade face turned white, which made it even harder to warm him up from the cold.

"I'm going to break my mother's heart if I don't go to bed so late." Mrs. Ning Er hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his back, "You don't have anyone to serve you, so why isn't there a brazier in the house?"

"It's so boring that I asked them to withdraw. When I go today, will I find out whether the eldest daughter of the Ling family is really my biological sister?"
