Chapter 659 Hope for happiness
Two days later, Cai Wanglin left the village and went to the border with the army. Before leaving, he gave Grandma Cui all the medicine that Little Ax would use next.
Just when Xiao Zhen was thinking that it was time to go see Situ Cheng, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion came to the village. As soon as he saw her, he said anxiously: "Master Shangying, our young general is missing."
"It's gone? How come it's gone?" Xiao Zhen was surprised.
"Yesterday early in the morning, the young lady clamored to see the young general, but I couldn't find him even though I searched for him. It's been two days and I haven't seen him come back. This has never happened before."
The old housekeeper was worried.
"Don't worry, old housekeeper, why did Situ leave?"
The old housekeeper shook his head: "Nothing happened these days. Even the border is under the control of the old general himself. There is no need for the young general to worry about it."
"Did you have a quarrel with the young lady?"
"How is that possible? The young lady is just like a seven or eight-year-old child now. No matter how ignorant the young general is, he will never be angry with the young lady."
Xiao Zhen nodded, yes, then why did Situ leave home for no reason: "Is there anything unusual in the young general's expression when he left home?"
The old housekeeper thought for a while: "The young general looks like he has been hit by something."
"Has the young general never been out of the house since the young lady was injured?"
"Yes."
He had never left home, and was hit again when he left. Xiao Zhen concluded that the problem should lie with Ouyang Dian'er: "I think I know where he will be. Don't worry, old housekeeper, I will definitely find Situ back."
"I have thanked Master Shangying." The old butler said gratefully.
It's evening now.
Xiao Zhen looked at the sky and estimated that it would be completely dark by the time she got there.
"Here comes someone."
"exist."
"Find me a good horse."
"yes."
A big bay-red horse galloped out of Hanying Village and ran towards a hilltop of Emperor Mountain.
In less than half an hour, Xiao Zhen had arrived at the foot of the hill, patted the horse's back and let it go free. It was a well-trained horse, and as long as she whistled, it would come back to her. Even though it was a hill,
But after all, it belongs to the Imperial Mountains, so it looks a bit high. Xiao Zhen's eyes fell on an open space halfway up the mountain. Zi Ran once told her that at a certain time every year, Situ would go to the grave of the Ouyang family's legitimate daughter.
Drunk for three days, even though it’s not that time yet,
But his intuition told him that Situ should be here. No matter what, let's try his luck first. During the spring equinox, the forest was dense, and all kinds of thorns were vying to grow. The original road had been covered, and it took Xiao Zhen some time to walk.
When she reached the middle of the mountain, she soon smelled the faint smell of alcohol. When she saw a clean and spacious tomb, she also saw Situ Cheng, who was already drunk and unconscious.
.
It's really here, Xiao Zhen sighed. He knelt down and shook him, but he didn't wake him up.
The area around the tomb was cleaned very clean, and it could be seen that there were people taking care of it from time to time. Xiao Zhen’s eyes fell on the tombstone of his beloved wife Ouyang Xi’er, with the words “husband Situ Cheng”. He sighed in his heart, wondering what he was doing.
It's time to get out of this pain.
It was late at night. When Situ woke up the next day, he felt a severe headache. The pain was so painful that he wanted to knock himself out with a palm. He stumbled to his feet, but he didn't want to see a black face staring at him.
He was so frightened that he took several steps back. When he saw the man's appearance clearly, he said in surprise: "Axe? What are you doing?"
Here?"
Xiao Zhen rolled his eyes: "The young general is really in great spirits."
Situ: ""
"Let's go." Xiao Zhen stood up and walked down the mountain.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Zhen looked at him. Situ walked up to Ouyang Xi'er at this time. After looking at it for a long time, he said: "Xier, in the past eight years, I have not lived in pain every day, but I am tired. Today
, I came to say goodbye to you. I will not come here to see you again. From now on, I will go there well
The rest of my life." After saying that, he stared at the tombstone again for a long time, and then said to Xiao Zhen: "Let's go."
Xiao Zhen's eyes flashed with a smile. Although she didn't know why Situ suddenly figured it out, she was sincerely happy for him. If her brother could get over his sad past, he should have let go of Ouyang Xi'er.
.
When going down the mountain, Situ looked at Xiao Zhen: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Zhen told her the story of the old housekeeper coming to see her: "I was just thinking about going to see you, and the old housekeeper came to see you. Ziran once told me that you would come here whenever something happened, so I
Come and try your luck."
Situ was silent for a while and said, "I won't come again in the future."
"Just figure it out."
"Thank you for staying with me all night."
Xiao Zhen stretched and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. There was a hint of gratitude in Situ's eyes. Although the ax had no memory of the past, she would come here to accompany him silently at some time every year. He would stay drunk for three days and three nights, and she would
Then I stayed with him for three days and three nights.
"I'm a little in love with Ouyang." Situ Cheng said, smiling bitterly: "I obviously hate her, her calculations, and her cruelty, but when I saved her from committing suicide, I looked at her pale
Face, looking at her unconscious, I realized that I had fallen in love with her."
Xiao Zhen listened quietly. She knew that Situ needed a listener at this time. "You said, she is such a bad woman, how could I fall in love with her? Although she did not kill Xi'er by herself, she
She knew clearly that those people wanted to harm Xi'er, but she still watched Xi'er die." Situ looked pained: "She actually said, why should she save her?
Xi'er? They are sisters, sisters who are related by blood."
Why? With just three words, Xiao Zhen knew that the relationship between the sisters was not good, and could even be said to be indifferent.
"How could I fall in love with such a vicious woman?" This was the most difficult thing for Situ Cheng to accept: "How could I fall in love with such a cold woman?"
Seeing Situ's appearance, Xiao Zhen frowned. Situ had just recovered from another pain, but he fell into an entanglement with Ouyang Dian again. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Unable to bear to see him like this, Xiao Zhen said: "Situ, I think you need to understand the situation in Ouyang Mansion." "Understand what? It's just the difference between concubines and concubines." Situ Cheng sneered: "officials and eunuchs"
There has always been a dispute between the legitimate concubine and the concubine. In order to become the legitimate daughter, the concubine has many vicious methods, and many people have heard about it. Ouyang Dian is such a scheming person. The more I know about it, the more disgusted I am that I can do it.
Falling in love with someone like her."
Xiao Zhen walked along the mountain road with his head lowered. When the two of them reached the bottom of the mountain quietly, Xiao Zhen suddenly said: "Situ, I think if it is really a fight between legitimate concubine and concubine, Ouyang Dian is not wrong at all."
"What?"
"Everyone has the right to live, regardless of blood relationship, kinship relationship, or friendship. Since there is a fight, why should we accommodate others and wrong ourselves?"
"But Xi'er is a pure and kind girl." "Even if he is a villain, he has a pure and kind side. It depends on why he is pure and kind. As the legitimate daughter of the Ouyang family, she may have a pure and kind side.
But it can never be pure kindness in the true sense." Xiao Zhen said lightly: "I am not helping Ouyang Dian.
Son, I just think it’s necessary for you to really understand her. After all, you and Ouyang Dian’er are a real couple now, and she’s still alive.”
She is still alive, which is the most important thing. It is sad to not understand a living person, but to keep thinking about a dead person.
Situ Cheng was silent for a long time, and it was not until Xiao Zhen called the horse that he said, "Maybe what you said is right."
The two got on the same horse and galloped towards the capital.
Xiao Zhen sent Situ to the old general's mansion and was about to ride away when he saw Situ being hugged by a woman in a goose-yellow skirt just as he stepped through the door.
Xiao Zhen saw that Situ's body was as stiff as a stone, and the woman was already crying like a child in his arms. The old housekeeper said anxiously at the side: "Young madam, you are not well yet, in case you cry again."
What should I do?”
"I just want to cry." The woman's voice was delicate and weak. She was obviously in her late teens, but she behaved like a child.
Finally, Situ picked up the woman and walked into the house.
Hope that Situ can find his happiness, Xiao Zhen looked at it for a while, then rode away. Back to Hanying Village, Aunt Cui was walking with Little Ax. Little Ax had just learned to walk. Not to mention how funny she looked. Cui
