peasant young lady

Chapter 182 Lizheng is dead
Cheng Xia's heart was suffocated, and he ignored Du Zhong's call to get her into the carriage and take her to Lizheng's house, directly stuffed the basket and the shopping into Dahua's arms, turned around and ran eastward.

Such a kind-hearted old man, how could he just leave like this.

Cheng Xia quickly ran to the gate of Tian's house. There were already too many villagers gathered in the yard, chattering about something at the moment. Not feeling well, they all rushed over to see, no matter if it was true or not, they all wanted to send this old man who had done a lot of practical things for Qingxian Village one last time.

There was already a coffin in the yard, obviously it wasn't there when she sent Grandpa Li home the day before yesterday.As soon as she saw the fir coffin, Cheng Xia couldn't stop crying, her feet seemed to be fixed outside the door, and she couldn't lift it up and step in.

When Cheng Qiu in the courtyard saw Cheng Xia approaching, he immediately blocked the gate, and said in a strange manner, "Get out, no one expects you to come, Grandpa is just so mad at you."

Cheng Xia's vision was blurred by tears, but she could still see the sinister smile on Cheng Qiu's sullen face. Cheng Xia suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Qiu's collar, and her terrified eyes and In the movement of struggling, he warned word by word, "If you let me know that Grandpa Lizheng became what he is now and has something to do with you, then next time I won't just throw twenty corpses to scare you."

After Cheng Xia finished speaking, she threw off Cheng Qiu and went straight into the courtyard.

Aunt Tian came over and led Cheng Xia into the room, wiping away her tears, "Girl Xia, Dad has been waiting for you, he said that if you don't come, he can't take his last breath."

Cheng Xia's tears couldn't stop rolling down again, she followed Aunt Tian to the door of the back room, Aunt Tian only let her in, saying that Grandpa Li Zheng had something to say to her.

Cheng Xia lifted the curtain and went in, and saw Grandpa Lizheng lying on the kang as thin as a stick, covered only with a thin quilt, but his face, viewed from Cheng Xia's angle, was really ashamed. No breath at all.

The feeling of death rushed over in an instant, Cheng Xia couldn't describe this feeling, but he also knew that when people are dying, they are dying, that's probably what it is.

Hearing the movement, Lizheng, who was motionless, suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the door with difficulty, and saw that Cheng Xia was coming, he smiled slightly, trying to support himself to sit up, Cheng Xia hurriedly ran over, " Grandpa, don't move, I will help you."

"Girl, you are finally here," Li Zheng breathed weakly, and the words he spoke were intermittent, broken like a bellows pulling a stove, whistling and neighing, almost out of breath.

Cheng Xia quickly brought him the water from the table next to him, "Grandpa, drink some, you will feel better."

"No, no need," Li Zheng waved his hand with a smile, and was supported by Cheng Xia to sit against the wall, his breath finally eased, and then he said, "Girl, I'm afraid Grandpa won't be able to wait for you."

"Grandpa, don't say that," Cheng Xia tried her best to suppress her sobs, she didn't want Grandpa Lizheng to see her panic and worry, so she tried to force a smile, "Grandpa, didn't you promise me, you want me?" Keep looking at me until the day you get tired of watching."

Lizheng's cloudy eyes suddenly burst into tears, "Girl, grandpa can see that you have settled down here. Grandpa is already content. It's been almost four months. You've been here for almost four months. Grandpa was worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to it." , but, I didn't expect you to live so well, Grandpa, don't worry."

Cheng Xia suddenly raised his head, looked at Lizheng in disbelief, "Four months?"

Lizheng coughed violently, Cheng Xia quickly patted his back to comfort him, "Grandpa, let's not talk about it, we will talk about it when you recover."

"If you don't say it, you won't have a chance," Li Zheng smiled with sobs, "I still remember that day was the day you got married, and grandpa knew that you and Dazhi were childhood sweethearts, but when something like that happened to Dazhi and Cheng Qiu, your mother got angry again Grandpa is worried about marrying you to Da Lang, he is afraid that you will be overwhelmed, so after much deliberation, he decides to follow him, for fear that if you do something stupid, the result will be the result."

Lizheng's aura was a little weaker, Cheng Xia didn't want him to talk too much, because she already knew, Grandpa Lizheng had always known that she was not the former Cheng Xia, she was an imposter, that's why he always maintained it like this she.

"Grandpa won't talk anymore, I already know it, let's stop talking, you should rest well." Cheng Xia looked at the old man like this, and the pain in her heart expanded infinitely, she just sent a close person away, she never Having experienced it before, she was afraid of such a farewell, as if they were separated by life and death just by closing their eyes.

Lizheng shook his head slightly, "Girl, I have to tell you," Lizheng said, and suddenly smiled, "You can't let me take these into the coffin, right?"

Seeing that Cheng Xia wanted to interrupt him, Li Zheng smiled without sentimentality, "Girl, when a person is about to die, some things are ignored. Grandpa told you that I went to the road where Cheng Xia got married. Look, I saw that she had changed into her usual clothes and was about to run away with some things. I knew the bearer was standing not far away, so I took her a little farther away and asked her what was going on. She Pointing to you lying on the ground, saying that the two of you look exactly the same, this is God gave her to save her life."

Li Zheng said a long series of words, his breath was a little unsteady, but he still insisted, "I looked back at that time, and you were lying there, you had already put on a wedding dress, your face was pale, and your lips were pale, grandpa It hurts a lot when I saw it. Grandpa disagrees with Cheng Xia's leaving, because you are also a child of your parents' family, not to mention you don't know anything, how can I push you into the fire pit."

Cheng Xia was moved to tears. This old man has always been kind-hearted. Even when they had never met him before, he knew how to think about himself, "Grandpa, thank you. If it wasn't for your help, I would It is impossible to stay in Qingxian Village."

Li Zheng raised his hands tremblingly, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Cheng Xia's eyes, "Girl, grandpa doesn't know where you came from, Cheng Xia said you fell from the sky, she said she saw it with her own eyes. When you fell in front of her, grandpa didn't know if it was true or not, but grandpa knew you were a good boy, cough, cough cough," Lizheng gasped for a while before continuing, "but grandpa can't do anything, Cheng Xia took a few things and ran away from me, I couldn't stop me, I could only watch helplessly as you were carried into the sedan chair by the bearer who was looking for you, and you were married to the Yang family."

What Lizheng said was full of guilt and worry, "Yang Dalang is a good boy. He came to our village with Mrs. Chen since he was a child. Grandpa is also a educated person. It can be seen that the child is not an ordinary person. Since he was a child, his conversation and knowledge are not ordinary, but he must have experienced something, and he stopped talking after coming to our village. Grandpa is not worried about you marrying him, but he is just afraid that you will not be able to adapt to the strange environment. That night, Da Lang Call me away, and I know, Dalang, you can't be wrong. You have a different temperament from Cheng Xia, and grandpa is very happy to see that you are adapting well in both the Yang family and the Cheng family. "

As Li was talking, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, trying to stop the tears that kept falling, "It's Grandpa who is sorry for you. If Cheng Xia hadn't let Cheng Xia run away, you wouldn't have been trapped in our village for so long. time."

Cheng Xia couldn't help shaking her head, her eyes were blurred by tears, "No, Grandpa, I have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I would really be homeless, thank you for helping me so much and taking care of me so much."

This old man is really like her relatives, who gave her the most honest trust and care, so that she can live well and rely on her in this strange place.

Lizheng's body slowly went limp. After talking for so long, he couldn't bear it any longer. Looking at Cheng Xia's nervous and anxious eyes, Lizheng just smiled, "Girl, everyone is going to die, don't be reluctant." Grandpa. Grandpa is just a little regretful. Although I have seen you and Dalang loving/loving to this point, I still can't hold your child, and Grandpa is reluctant."

"So you have to persevere, there will be a day, grandpa, don't leave." Cheng Xia cried heartbreakingly, she was sad and reluctant from the bottom of her heart, she felt distressed.

Li was lying down slowly, and finally took out a package from under his pillow, "Ya, girl, this is what grandpa has kept for you, you go back now, go home, and look at it when you go home. Grandpa doesn't want to Die in front of you, you go."

"Grandpa Lizheng!" Cheng Xia cried uncontrollably.Li Zheng slightly raised his hand and waved it, "Let's go, let's go home."

Cheng Xia watched Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian rush into the house, watched Cheng Qiu pretending to wipe away tears, and heard Tian Dazhi suddenly yell, "Grandpa!"

Cheng Xia's mind suddenly seemed to be empty, everything in the past was like a slow movie, and the scenes were reflected in front of her eyes. Lizheng's smile still appeared in front of her, and her voice was still echoing in her ears, but this person had already gone.

Cheng Xia hugged the package and walked home in despair. Seeing that she hadn't come back, Yang Dalang waited for her at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that she was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, he immediately pulled her over and hugged her in his arms. inside.

After finding a warm support, Cheng Xia couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears. His tears wet Yang Dalang's shoulders. He patted her on the back tenderly and pitifully, and comforted her softly, "Lizheng will go to heaven." , he is such a good person, he will not be willing to let you be so sad."

He has long been used to seeing life and death. Since he was six years old, he has never cried once, and he has never shed tears for anyone. Whether his heart is as hard as iron or ruthless, after experiencing some things, he will They all looked away.

Seeing Cheng Xia sobbing so hard, he knew that although she looked decisive, her heart was the softest.

Da Heng carried her back to the bamboo house, seeing her curled up on the bed, biting the corner of her back and silently choking, Yang Dalang was so distressed that he died.

The package that Cheng Xia brought back was in his hands, he didn't want to make her so sad, so he tried to change the subject, "Don't you want to see what's inside the package you brought back?"

Cheng Xia turned her head slowly, and saw Yang Dalang opening the package, seeing what was inside, Cheng Xia suddenly opened her eyes wide, grabbed it, and hugged her tightly in her arms.
