Water Margin Survival

The night in Bianliang is intoxicating, and it is easy to arouse nostalgia.

But listening to the sound of music coming from the mouths of artisans in restaurants and teahouses outside the gate of the house, the tune of silk and bamboo orchestras, the sound of drinking, and the laughter of celebrating the Spring Festival, Zhang's tormented heart gradually faded away. Die in the noise.

With tears in her eyes at this time, she took a basin from the yard, and then carried a bucket of hot soup with great difficulty, and moved into the house with staggering steps, asked her parents to sit down, and put the two basins in the parents' room. underfoot.He started to take off the shoes and socks for his parents. Seeing this, the instructor sighed bitterly, and said, "Son! Don't be so busy, tonight and New Year's Eve, stay with us to watch the night!"

The father's cry made Zhang's tears silently fall from the sockets of his eyes, and the drops fell into the wooden basin, causing ripples.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, the mother, Li Shi, felt sore in her heart, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to give Teacher Zhang a hand, but Teacher Zhang sighed again, silently watching her filial daughter gradually fascinated.

After washing for a while, Mrs. Zhang wiped her parents' feet with a towel, then silently poured the water back into the bucket, and offered to pour it out.After tidying up, he called Jin'er, the maid who was standing aside to cover her tears, and the two entered the room together.Mrs. Zhang gently locked the door.Jin'er saw that the lady was still like this, she just wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say, in fact, she had already exhausted her words of persuasion in the past six months.Ever since Lin Chong, an official, was dispatched, he had never seen his young lady speak, and it was as if she had lost her voice.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang took out a house deed and 100 taels of silver from the wooden cabinet next to the bed, and handed them all to Jin'er. His eyes, which were so numb that he couldn't see any emotions or anger, looked directly at the servant girl, and forced something into her hand.Jin'er's eyes were red, so she had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing that she had accepted it, Mrs. Zhang let out a soft breath as if the big thing had come to an end, closed her eyes, and did not move again.Seeing this, Jin'er retreated out, took the deed and the 100 taels of silver in her hand, and hurriedly went to find Coach Zhang. The lady's behavior tonight was a bit abnormal, which made her secretly vigilant.

Hearing the maidservant closing the door, Mrs. Zhang opened her eyes, went back and locked the door of the boudoir, sat in front of the dressing table and combed her long hair slowly, only to see the beautiful pear blossoms reflected in the bronze mirror with rain, sad Desperate.Looking at the paper of divorce in front of the stage, Mrs. Zhang uttered the first words of the husband and wife in the six months since they parted, "I hope that in the next life, I will meet you again..."

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang turned around and took out a chair, stood up slowly, threw the white silk that had been prepared long ago on the beam, tied a knot, and slowly put it around her neck.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the window. Mrs. Zhang heard it, but as if she hadn't heard it. At this moment, her heart was already ashamed, and she just said softly: "Officer, I'm going first..." After speaking, she kicked the stool under her feet hard, and the weight of her whole body hit her neck in an instant, but she saw that Mrs. Zhang was just stubborn and silent, silently enduring the last pain before bidding farewell to this miserable world.

At this moment of urgency, a white-clothed scholar was setting up the window, and he turned inside the house. When he saw the scene of Mrs. Zhang hanging from the beam, he was shocked and couldn't care less. , praying in his heart: "Don't let the sword fool me!", and threw the sword in the direction of Bai Ling according to the feeling of controlling a sword after following the old Taoist of Hubei for more than ten years in his previous life.

Maybe it was due to sincerity, but seeing the sword cut a small opening in the white silk in an instant, and then under the heavy pressure, the small opening expanded infinitely, until finally unable to bear the burden, only a slight sound was heard, and the whole knot was tied The white silk became a straight line, and Mrs. Zhang fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

Suddenly the door of the room was kicked open, and a half-old soldier rushed in with a gun. Seeing his daughter's appearance, he screamed, "My son!" Tan, only hearing the sound of his daughter coughing at this time, the old soldier was relieved, got up and shouted, and was about to go up to meet the stranger who appeared in his daughter's boudoir.

"Wait a minute, Coach Zhang, I have a letter from Coach Lin!" Seeing this, Wang Lun hurriedly stopped.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang, who was lying on the ground dying, struggled to get up, and was about to go forward to get the letter. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was fine, Wang Lun felt relieved, and hurriedly took out the letter from his bosom. Shout out, "Don't be fooled, my son, it must be a trick by these fellows!"

Wang Lun saw that the whole family was made nervous by Gao Yanei, he didn't even notice his act of saving people just now, he just regarded himself as someone sent by the Dianshuai's mansion, so he didn't talk nonsense, just threw the letter over , Straight to Zhang's feet.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly bent down to pick up the letter, opened it hastily, saw the first line of writing, tears fell down, and said to Teacher Zhang: "Father, it's my husband's handwriting!"

Instructor Zhang just rested for a while, but still maintained a vigilant posture. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly read the letter and shouted: "Daddy, he...he was sent by my husband to pick me up!"

Coach Zhang looked Wang Lun up and down, clasped his fists at Wang Lun, said "please wait a moment", then took the letter from his daughter and read it. Hurriedly walking in, Mrs. Li stepped forward to hug her daughter, and said with tears: "My poor child..." The three women cried together, but seeing Mrs. Zhang's eyes lost their minds, they murmured: "He didn't forget Forgot me... didn't forget me..."

Instructor Zhang read the letter from the beginning to the end, and confirmed that it was undoubtedly his son-in-law's handwriting, so he thrust the spear deep into the ground, which was quite similar to Lin Chong's, and burned the letter on the candle, and then He apologized to Wang Lun, "I don't know if it's the head of the king of Jeju, who was so rude just now, please don't blame him!"

Wang Lun saw that he was so skillful and careful, he cupped his hands and said, "Those who don't know are innocent, Coach Zhang is still growing strong, and his prestige remains the same as before!"

The coach gave a wry smile, and said: "It's only a joke for the leader, but it was actually forced by Gao Qi and his family!"

Wang Lun chuckled and said, "What my elder brother said in the letter, I don't know what Master Zhang is going to do?"

Before Coach Zhang could answer, he heard Zhang's eager expression: "I'll go with you!"

Wang Lun saw that he saluted Mrs. Zhang, called his sister-in-law, and looked at Coach Zhang, the head of the family, waiting for him to express his opinion.

He only heard the wry smile from the teacher Zhang, looked at the eager daughter, then at the wife who nodded repeatedly, sighed and said: "I only have such a daughter, she is leaving, my old couple stay What is the meaning of this capital? Forget it, this time I will wait for the whole family to join the Guizhai and cause trouble for the king!"

"It's so good, I can finally give my brother a satisfactory explanation! Instructor Zhang, Instructor Lin is my elder brother. In this way, you are my elder. If there is no trouble, please don't let me see you in the future!" Wang Lun smiled. Arched hands.

"Where do you dare to be? In the future, you will have to trouble the leader! It's just a nuisance, but when are we going to leave?" Instructor Zhang is also a straightforward person, and he has made up his mind, so he no longer hesitates.

"Let's go out of the city overnight while the city gate is still open tonight!" Wang Lun said.

Instructor Zhang nodded, then winked at his wife, and told her to clean up the things, and suddenly thought of something, and said suddenly: "I have people from the Palace Commander's Mansion watching and guarding the front and back of my house, so I have to get rid of these nails first. !"

Wang Lun said with a smile: "Don't worry, instructor, I've taken care of all these people. The instructor just packs up some luggage and leaves the city while the moon is shining!"

Instructor Zhang nodded his thanks, turned around and went to pack his things, only to hear that Mrs. Zhang held Jin'er's hand and said: "Jin'er, you have been with me and the officials for so many years, this time I don't want to ask you to take risks, now I'm looking for The officials have gone, and the two houses in the capital, as well as all the belongings, are given to you. Find a good family in the future and marry them!"

Seeing this, Jin'er wept and said: "It's my blessing to meet young ladies and officials, and the servant girl has no relatives anymore, so I just want to follow the young lady to find officials, young lady, don't drive me away!"

Seeing the two girls hugging each other and crying, Wang Lun knew that Jin'er was clever and affectionate. Mrs. Lin had been in danger many times, and it was because of this girl that she saved the day. He immediately said: "It's a big Tokyo, she's a woman, she has no one to rely on. Why don't you just go with your sister-in-law, and say that if the guy in Gao Yamen sees your sister-in-law gone, if this girl stays, he will definitely make things difficult for her!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang wiped away the tears on Jin'er's face and nodded lightly. The girl from Jin'er burst into laughter and was very happy.Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and tidied up her clothes, stepped forward and stretched her left arm to the right, combined her left hand with her right hand at her crotch and swayed lightly twice. At the same time, she lowered her head slightly, squatted down lightly, and wished Wang Lun a blessing, saying: "I was in a hurry just now, how rude I am, don't blame uncle! Uncle came here from Shandong regardless of the dangers, and picked me up to reunite with my husband. The little girl is very grateful!" After saying that, she bowed down again, and Jin'er stood aside See you, and bow down together.

Wang Lun hurriedly returned the gift and said: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. Brother Lin Chong and I hit it off right away. His business is my business. Don't be too polite, sister-in-law. Just pack up the soft things. Let's go out of the city!"

When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she got up and thanked her, and brought her happy little girl, Jin'er, to pack her things in the room.

At this time, Wang Lun went to the window and waved his hand. Jiao Ting, Zhang San, Li Si and others who had been waiting under the window all turned over and came in. Because of Lu Zhishen's relationship, Zhang San and Li Si all recognized Mrs. Lin. Before saluting, Mrs. Zhang still remembered the two people, and now they chatted for a few words, but saw Jin'er covering her mouth with one hand and caressing her heart with the other, looking at a big round head, browless and beardless, his eyes were straightened with fright, and he was very anxious. Hehe smiled, and stood behind Wang Lun without saying a word.

At this moment, a weary voice suddenly came from outside the front yard and said: "Miss, I can't let you go even if you see the New Year's Eve, so I came to see you, ma'am..."
