Chapter 191 The first 90th return to the shadows, the poisonous sand, the flat ground, the waves, the labor, the swallows, the dim lights, the cold flames, the sky, the snow and the lost wife

As soon as Xiao Yi's suspicion turned to family ugliness, thinking of her sister and brother's usual behavior, naturally there were suspicious points everywhere.It just so happened that all the disciples went to Cui's house for a banquet that day, only Ouyang Shuang's sister and brother were at home.Xiao Yi was spying intently, and covered it with light feet and hands.Just in time for Ouyang Hong to sit on the bed, hugging the sick child to defecate.The child's illness has been going on for a long time, and the anus is drooping. Ouyang Shuang wiped it with hot water and warm cloth.The sister and brother were both busy with their illness and had no intention of worrying about it. Their foreheads almost touched each other.As in normal days, it is not surprising.Seeing this at this time, he was furious.I thought to myself: "His sister and brother are close, and it has become a habit. Besides, as the village owner, he cares about his face, and if he speaks too much, he hasn't seen the truth. If he is wronged, wouldn't it be a big mistake?" He also cared about the sick child , still strong self-restraint.After asking about the sick child, he sat down by himself.Looking closely at the expressions of his sister and brother, it seems very natural.Cursing secretly: "You dog and girl, pretend to be real. Let's wait until my son recovers from illness. If Wanqiu's words come from a misunderstanding, let it be. If you really want to do that obscene thing, I will kill your dogs again. "Poor Ouyang Shuang's body has been caught in the net, and she doesn't even know her shadow.From then on, Xiao Yi carefully investigated in secret, and apart from Ouyang Shuang's sister and younger brother being kind, he didn't see any disadvantages.After all, they have been married for many years and are very loving. Although they were moved by the slander at the time and their anger rose, as time passed, they gradually realized that things seemed false, but my wife would not be so unscrupulous and shameless, and my heart became active.After the son recovers, I want to ask Ming's beloved wife if his brother-in-law is her natal brother, and then question Wanqiu again.With your own intelligence, you can always judge a little bit of reality.Two days later, the child recovered suddenly.Xiao Yi was tired from loving his wife for many days, so he waited for her to recuperate for a few days before asking questions.

Ouyang Shuang had never lied in front of her husband, she just followed a thought and did not tell her clearly, so she had already forgotten it in her heart.Hearing Xiao Yi's sudden question, he blushed with embarrassment.At that time, if he had told the truth about his cousin's adoption and what he had not told the truth for a long time, he would not have caused that disaster.It's just that she is used to being doted on by her husband, so she refuses to speak.When Xiao Yi asked, he didn't get it from someone else's mouth, he only said that his sister and brother had no resemblance in appearance, and guessed that he was definitely not his own flesh and blood.This is because she knew that Wanqiu had already turned an enemy into a friend with her, and she was afraid that speaking out would hurt the friendship between the two of them, and it would be difficult to get along with her in the future.But Ouyang Shuang thought that only Wanqiu and Xiao Yuan knew about this matter, one is a confidant and sister, so they will not betray their friends;Wei Wei calmed down, and replied in a bad mood: "Di Hong was originally in front of my uncle, and he took care of the two rooms. My father has been in your house since he was a child. You don't know that there is only such a daughter. As the saying goes: 'Mother Nine sons.' Born to the same mother, they all look alike, not to mention different parents. When I went back to my hometown, I told you that I was looking for my relatives and friends. How strange you are asking!" Xiao Yi Seeing that her neck was flushed and her face was flushed with anxiety, she decided that she had a guilty conscience and lost her composure, so she couldn't help arousing her doubts again, and replied: "You came back from your hometown last year and told me that your younger brother is the son of your uncle. I knew that. What I want to ask is, is he the real uncle Ling, or is he an outsider?" Ouyang Shuang couldn't change his words for a while, and became angry again and again. He didn't have time to think about it, and didn't pay attention to her husband's expression. Received here to inherit my family's lineage? Could it be a fake?" Xiao Yi heard her words, half confirmed, and his heart trembled with anger.Because she didn't have the real stolen goods, she still put up with it on the surface, pretending to smile and replied: "I just thought of it by chance, and I didn't want to ask, why are you so anxious?" Although Ouyang Shuang was strong in words, she finally felt a little guilty about lying to her husband. Sorry to tell the truth.After a while, seeing that her husband didn't mention it, he pulled it down.

On the second day, the husband and wife led the disciples to practice martial arts on the platform, Xiao Yi carefully checked the expressions of Ouyang Shuang's sister and brother.Ouyang Shuang had been ill for a long time because of her child's illness, so she didn't ask how her brother's martial arts progress was. As soon as they played, the two sisters and younger brothers would point out and practice together, and they didn't leave often.The more Xiao Yi looked at it, the more wrong it became. He was already sad and angry, ready to go.After practicing Rensan, Wanqiu suddenly asked Xiao Yi to write two couples for Chinese New Year.Xiao Yi tweeted that he had been in a bad mood for the past few days, but fortunately it was still early in the Chinese New Year, so he might as well write another day.Wanqiu said: "The paper has been brought, I don't want to take it back. You are the head of a village, and you are busy all year round. It is rare to be free this morning. This paper was brought back by Sister Shuang last year. I don't want you to be ruined by Brother Cui. How can I refuse to ask you?" After speaking, he pulled Ouyang Shuang and walked to the study first.Xiao Yuan and his wife also pretended to read and write, and followed in.Xiao Yi had no choice but to agree.Everyone sat down in the study, and Ouyang Hong was busy grinding ink.Wan Qiu suddenly smiled and pointed to the small box at the corner of the bed, and said to Xiao Yi: "I am so particular about a study, where did I get this old bamboo box? I haven't taken it out yet." Xiao Yi had never seen this small box before, so he Where did the box come from, why have I never seen it?Ouyang Hong blushed quickly and said: "I brought it. I just took it out of the pavilion on the mountain the day before yesterday. I also know that it is not suitable to put it here, because there are two old books and window lessons in it. I intend to clean it up when I have less time. Come out and deal with it later. I was busy working hard this morning, so I didn't take care of it." Wanqiu said, "I only said that my brother is really diligent in martial arts, but who knows that he is also good at writing. Why don't you take it out and read it for us?" Xiao Yuan also encouraged him from the sidelines.Ouyang Shuang knew that her brother was still fluent in literature and science, and wished that he would show it in public, so as to show that there were seeds of education in her mother's clan, so she winked at her brother.Xiao Yiwu was rotten fish, he was very suspicious, seeing his brother-in-law's face was flushed, and he didn't open the box for a long time, but his sister gave him another wink, she misunderstood it, suspected that there was something wrong with it, so she said with a straight face: "Biaosao Cui wants to see it." If you don’t pick up your class, you’ll get it out.” Ouyang Hong’s face was tender, and he planned to open it, but after his brother-in-law said, he hurriedly replied: “The key on this box was lost on the way.” Before he finished speaking , Xiao Yi said angrily: "What's the difficulty, just twist the lock. You're useless, I'll find something for you." Ouyang Shuang saw that Naifu's expression had changed since yesterday, and thought that they had been married for many years. There was no quarrel, and he pushed him a few words when questioning, which made him unhappy.And when he saw that he was not kind to his brother, he changed his behavior drastically, and swept his face in front of outsiders, before the box was opened, he stood up in anger, turned around and left, and went back to his bedroom.At this time, Xiao Yi believed the traitor's slander to a great extent, the couple used to be deeply affectionate, and they had already put it into water, trying their best to suppress the anger in their chests, and forbearance did not express it, how could they treat their beloved pet as human.

Wanqiu and Xiao Yuanyuan went to the pavilion privately, and saw that the bamboo box had been taken back to the room by Ouyang Hong; Inside the study.On the grounds of writing Spring Festival couplets, I will report it after watching it.Because it has been several days, I don't know that the bamboo box has been opened yet.When he entered the room and took a closer look, the lock of the box was still there. The key had been stolen by Wei Shi long ago, so he must have never opened it, otherwise the box would not have been kept in the room.Can't help but let his heart go wild, and use treacherous schemes wholeheartedly.Ouyang Shuang went back to her room in a fit of anger, she was willing to dissuade her.Knowing that once the box is opened, Xiao Yi will find out the affair.Xiao Yi is deep, wise and competitive, he has to pretend to be ignorant all the time, so that he can attack secretly, only then can he kill his sister and brother.If it is discovered that someone knows about this, they must cover it up for Ouyang Shuang, even though they hate him to the bone, they will never hurt his sister and brother for the time being; they must wait until the matter cools down and no one goesssip, and then use clever tricks to plot against the two.The thing is false, the wise man can only hide it for a while, for a long time, if the conspiracy is exposed, it will not only be in vain, but it will make him burn himself;Seeing Ouyang Hong nonchalantly, he walked over; Xiao Yi stared at the box, pretending to be doing nothing.He secretly winked at Xiao Yuan, and said with a smile: "My business is bothering my uncle to grind the ink, how impolite. He has been grinding for a long time, please cousin grind it for me." Xiao Yuan knew For the purpose, he ran to the table, faced outside, and rubbed the ink.At the same time, Wan Qiu pretended to be surprised, ran over and said: "Please slow down, and be careful of getting my good paper." Xiao Yuanlian said no.

While the second traitor was striking up a conversation, Ouyang Hong had already twisted the lock.Xiao Yi's first goal was the pair of shoes that Ouyang Shuang embroidered herself in the past, boasted that her technique was exquisite, and thought it was excellent, and she often played with it. Later, she wore the shoes that she never saw again when she returned home.It is undoubtedly a sign of having an affair with Ouyang Hong and giving him a gift.He couldn't help getting angry, and was about to hit him fiercely.In a hurry, he saw that Wan Qiu and Xiao Yuan were rubbing ink and talking and joking, they didn't pay attention to it, so he quickly picked up a stack of window textbooks in the box, threw them on the ground, and said: "It's so dirty!" Dial, dial the box into the corner of the bed.Wan Qiu had already heard the sound and came over, saying: "Where is Brother Hong's masterpiece?" Xiao Yi reluctantly said: "Isn't it?" He hurriedly picked up the two window books on the ground, pretended to read them, and without raising his head, he asked: "Is there any other good books in the box? That's all?" Xiao Yi quickly replied: "He also There is no one to return to, and a few old scriptures are left in the mess, and there is nothing to read." After finishing speaking, he sat there, forced himself to gather his mind, and still pretended that nothing happened.Wan Qiu flipped through it a little, and said with a smile: "It's his fault. The ink is already thick, so you can write it for me." Just walk over and write.Xiao Yi's original intention was that after he left, he would first use his family's scorching internal skills to secretly hurt Ouyang Hong, and then force Ouyang Shuang to death.

Ouyang Hong should not die.When he opened the box, he smelled a moldy smell that he dreaded most in his life. As soon as he raised his head, Xiao Yi's hand reached down early, grabbed two books, closed the box, and kicked it under the bed.The box is not big enough for two people to pick it up side by side. The brother-in-law leaned over and naturally hurriedly avoided it.It seems that there is something colorfully stuffed in the corner of the box, which is not like the original one.There is no disease in his heart, but he has not seen it clearly. The young man is aggressive. Seeing Wanqiu picking up the window class and watching, he only pays attention to Wanqiu's compliments and criticisms, and his brother-in-law's face changes.Later, when I was writing and pulling the paper, Wanqiu grabbed my head again, so I had to stand by and watch, and gradually realized that my brother-in-law seemed to be struggling to write today, and his head was sweating; his hands were shaking from time to time due to excessive force.But wherever the pen tip goes, it is like a flying phoenix and a flying dragon, each showing its own magic.I thought it was because of Wanqiu's entrustment, so I put in extra effort.Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law was caught in a conspiracy, and I was filled with grief in my heart, so I forced myself to restrain myself, and sent out the anger of ignorance on the tip of my pen.When I finished writing when I was young, as soon as the person left, I would kill him.While appreciating secretly, I suddenly felt abdominal pain and inner urgency, and went to the toilet before finishing writing.When he was leaving, Xiao Yi was dual-purpose, forced to be reserved, how dare he look at his enemy again to make him angry, and he didn't realize it.After finishing writing, he slowly put down the pen and sat on the chair.Seeing Xiao Yuan and Wan Qiu spread the written couplets on the ground to wait for the ink to dry, they realized that Ouyang Hong was not in the room.Looking up, I really don't know when to go away.With a stir in my heart, I almost got angry again, thinking to myself that it was not good, so I suppressed it in a hurry, and forced a smile: "Today's calligraphy is not flattering, right?" Do not lift.Wan Qiu said with a smile: "The words you wrote today are really like thousands of peaks dancing, seas flying, unrestrained and majestic, unprecedented. It seems to be the first to write Lanting, and it is a new work. If I knew this, I really regret not bringing more paper. Come to ask you to write." Wanqiu said again: "You see that you are full of pen and ink, and it will take some time to finish. It is almost noon, and the baby is not brought today, so I must wait for me to go home for lunch. Put it here for the time being, come and pick it up later." Xiao Yi was afraid that his expression would be leaked, so he was also paying attention to the expression of the second traitor.The two traitors were all leaning over to praise, far from being aware of it, they were still secretly happy, and they pretended to reply: "Just eat at my house, why go back? Isn't it the same? Isn't it the same as Cousin Cui's case?" Food?" Wan Qiu reckoned that Xiao Yi must be pretending, so he looked up at him, and said with a sweet smile: "I don't want to flatter him that much, but I'm just afraid that the baby will look forward to it. If you don't say this, you can still disturb others If you provoke me with words, I won’t fall for it, do you think I’m a fool?” Xiao Yi pretended to smile, and intentionally kept her away twice, Wanqiu finally said goodbye to Xiao Yuan and left.

Xiao Yi sent it to the door, seeing that he had already descended the mountain, he couldn't help feeling furious, and his veins arose with anger.They thought that Ouyang Hong's sister and brother knew that their adultery had been exposed, so they would have a meeting in the room.Busily strode into the bedroom and saw that Ouyang Shuang was sitting alone in front of the couch, in a daze, with tears on her face.Ouyang Hong was not inside.Afraid of losing the stolen certificate, he hurriedly went back to the study, took out the pair of flower shoes from the box, hid them in his bosom, and ran back to the room, trembling with anger.Going to the opposite couch and sitting on the chair, at first he didn't say a word, suppressed his anger, and thought about how to deal with adulterers and prostitutes, which is considered appropriate, so as not to spread scandal.After sitting for a while, Ouyang Shuang went back to the room angrily because her husband treated her brother badly in front of outsiders, thinking that her brother is so obedient and knowledgeable, if not from the humble mother, why is this so?Although a little sad, but stingy.Then the husband rushed into the room angrily, walked away without a foothold, and turned around after a while.Fang wanted to ask him why he was so aggressive for days?Looking up sharply, her husband's face turned white, his mouth was blackened, and he looked at him with fierce eyes. They were married for many years, and they had never seen such a violent and fierce appearance.I couldn't help being shocked, the resentment in my stomach was so frightened that I was completely wiped out.Suspecting that something happened in the village, he has been poor in speech for several days, and because of this, not only did he lose his anger, but he became fond of and worried.He hurriedly walked over, stroking her husband's shoulder, and just wanted to express his condolences, before he said "good".Xiao Yishi couldn't help it, pushed her hand, stood up, hurriedly closed the door first, gritted his teeth, and said in a trembling voice: "Where did that little bastard come from? What's his name? Tell me!"

When Ouyang Shuang heard it, it was because of his brother.Seeing that her husband's expression was not right, she expected someone to tease her, but she didn't expect to be suspicious of adultery.Outsiders entering the village are prohibited by law. Someone must have gossiped in the past few days, thinking that her husband blamed her.Loving couples shouldn't hide anything, so they had to answer sternly: "He is really cousin Wu Hong, who has been in front of his uncle since childhood." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yi yelled: "What a shameless little bitch!" Followed by a palm.Ouyang Shuang didn't expect her husband to be heartbroken suddenly, her heart was broken, relying on her martial arts, she was passed down by her mother's family and her husband's family.Busy and painfully shouted: "It's a small matter, why are you so vicious? If you want to hit me, listen to me and hit me." The word "beat" at the bottom didn't come out, and suddenly saw her husband take out a pair of old shoes he was wearing from his arms, and threw them on the ground. He said in a low voice: "Needless to say, here is the real evidence. Let me use heavy methods to touch the vital points of you two dogs and men, and die slowly, so as not to embarrass each other, it is your advantage." Then he stretched out his hand and nodded.Poor Ouyang Shuang only realized at this time that her husband suspected that her sister and brother had committed adultery. It was extremely painful, her chest was filled with grief and anger, her throat was blocked by breath, and tears flowed like springs.On the one hand, I have to resist my husband's harsh hands, but I can't say a word.

When the two fought against each other, they were afraid that outsiders would hear it.After several rounds, Ouyang Shuang's skills were not inferior to her husband's.Helpless, one side is righteous and energetic, ready to go, and is about to be put to death.I was afraid of hurting my husband by mistake, so I couldn't help but pale in comparison.Seeing danger, suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.Xiao Yifang stopped his hands and listened carefully, it was his beloved son Xiao Zhen who came back from school in the village school, saw his younger brother and sister being hugged at the foot of the mountain to bask in the sun, took him home, knocked on the door outside, and his parents yelled.Looking back at Ouyang Shuang, she was out of breath, her face was haggard, her eyes were blurred with tears, and she passed out on the couch.Thinking of the love of husband and wife for many years and the children in front of me, I couldn't help feeling sour and shed tears.Because Aizi was still knocking on the door, she opened the door and went out to have a look. Xiao Zhen came in holding two lovely children of Yuxue, one in each hand.The servant followed behind and was walking in from the platform.He hurriedly said: "You go to the kitchen and order dinner, and eat with the children. The eldest lady is sick, so you don't need to come in." Only then did he blurt out, and the two young children came down to the ground early, each calling for mother.Seeing the mother lying on the bed with a bad look, the three brothers and sisters flew forward together, the younger one climbed up, and the older one anxiously asked what was wrong with the mother.Ouyang Shuang thought to herself: "I will not listen to what I say at this time, and I will prolong my life. This grievance cannot be cleared, and the person who spread the rumors can't find him to settle the score." Seeing that her husband cares about the children, she simply hugged the two children Said: "My heart, my mother was killed by the bad guys, and she will die at the hands of those cruel pigs and dogs. Come and have a bite of Li Niang's milk." Speaking of the sad part, she couldn't help crying.The two little siblings, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lian, are only two years old and have not yet been weaned.Everyone in the village is their own family, so there is no way to hire a nurse. Although the children are taken care of by others, they are fed by themselves.At night, I have to sleep with my mother.Even though he was young and puzzled, seeing his mother so miserable, the instincts of mother and child were naturally aroused, and they cried more and more "mother, mother".Xiao Zhen has practiced martial arts with her father since she was a child, and she has a strong temperament. When she heard the words, she was filled with grief and anger. Say it quickly. If he dares to harm Mom, I will kill him."

Ouyang Shuang knew his son's temper, but the matter was still undecided, so how could he speak up.Xiao Zhen asked several times, and saw that her mother was just weeping but did not answer, and her father had tears in his eyes, his face was sullen, and he sat aside, with his head bowed and sighing, and he was very anxious.He lowered his head and thought about it, then suddenly shouted: "I see!" He jumped up, opened the door and went out.Xiao Yi was shocked when he saw this, and quickly stopped drinking.Ouyang Shuang was also afraid that he would cause trouble recklessly, so she got up from the bed early, stopped him, and shouted: "Mom has innocent grievances, what do you know as a little doll? Don't stop with me!" Xiao Zhen was in a panic Jumped, and cried: "The bad guys want to harm mom, dad doesn't care, mom won't tell. I think uncle should know, and he intends to ask about it before going, but he doesn't allow me. Anyway, whoever wants to harm mom is just desperate for my life, not to kill him The whole family is weird!" Ouyang Shuang said: "My dear son, don't worry, now that your mother is out of the way, she will die if she doesn't want to, what are you busy with? Could it be that your father killed me, and you also killed his whole family?" Xiao Zhen Human beings are smart, because their parents are usually harmonious and beautiful, they never quarrel, never thought that the two elders would turn their faces into enemies.Hearing the words, he replied casually: "I know that my father treats my mother best, and I will never do it." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Naifu at a glance, with a gloomy and miserable look on his face.Suddenly thinking of how miserable and bullied my mother is today, why didn't my father persuade me at all?Just now, it seemed that he had said something angry to his mother, which was far from the harmonious couple in the past.Can't help feeling suspicious, rushed over and asked: "Father, mother said you harmed her, is it true? I don't think so. Father is the head of a village, no one is as capable as father, why do you let the bad guys You don't care about killing my mother? Who is that villain? My son and him are inseparable! Father, please speak quickly!" Xiao Yi naturally had nothing to answer.Seeing his beloved son's sexual arousal, he was so anxious that his neck was red and his face was flushed, his arms were stretched out, his muscles and bones were crunching, his tears were red, and he seemed to be bursting into flames. If he knew his mother's hatred, he would surely repay him by death, he couldn't help but feel pity Love and heartbreak.Unable to do so, she just pointed at Ouyang Shuang angrily and said, "Ask her!" Seeing her parents evading each other, Xiao Zhen couldn't help getting angry, her complexion immediately turned from red to white, and she was about to cry when she ignored the door opening. Ouyang Hong walked in.Xiao Zhen relaxed, and just shouted: "Uncle came just in time!" Xiao Yi was already furious, and shouted: "Zhen'er wait, I have something to say." He got up and went forward.Ouyang Shuang knew that her husband was going to kill her, so her younger brother was unlucky. Seeing that the situation was not good, she had no time to think about anything else, so she hurriedly shouted: "Brother Hong, hurry up and find a way out, your brother-in-law wants your life!" Step forward.

Ouyang Hong came back because he was out of court. He passed the dining room and saw that there was only one maid with a child inside.The mountain dwellings are all operated by themselves, and there are servants and maidservants who follow hermits to share more of the land and live by themselves.Although Xiao Yi is the head of the village, there are only two or three on duty in rotation.Except when there are many people practicing martial arts every morning, it is usually very quiet.Ouyang Hong asked that both adults and children were in the room. Suspecting that his second nephew was ill again, he came to see him and invited him to dinner. Seeing that the door was half closed, he heard crying again.As soon as I entered the room, I was very surprised to see my sister and nephew with tears and sorrow on their faces.Fang wanted to ask why he was sad, but suddenly he saw his brother-in-law standing up from his seat and walking towards him with a murderous look on his face.Then I heard my sister yelling for me to run away.Things started in a hurry, and I never dreamed of such a big mess.Although Sister Nai's words sounded real, because she had no illness in her heart, she didn't know why she wanted to escape, and she was only surprised.When he was slightly dazed, Xiao Yi An was determined to use his family's poisonous hand to hurt his vitals, so he had secretly mobilized his strength, and said in a low voice: "Bold bastard, you have no conscience, how dare you bully me!" Then he said fiercely Stretching out his right hand, he touched Ouyang Hong's chest.If this blow is hit, it will immediately hurt the heart, and within seven days at most, you will die from exhaustion.Fortunately, Ouyang Shuang was on the defensive quickly, knowing that the enemy was formidable, she used all her strength regardless of her fate, and jumped up, still using Xiao's secret method, with the right hand of Tonaif's right hand, followed by the T-step and stood still, closing the door, Taking advantage of the momentum, he used the big grab method from behind Naifu, twisted the muscles and bones of his left arm, and was grabbed with his left hand. Although Xiao Yi's strength is relatively strong, after all, the husband and wife love each other and are used to getting along.Dedicated to seeking revenge, concentrating on it, fearing that the enemy will not die, and then fainted with anger, if she is unprepared, her wife will stand up in an emergency.Ouyang Shuang got the biography of mother-in-law and mother-in-law's family, she knew the key, Xiao Yi was caught off guard, and desperately tried to break free, but he was powerless when he fell into the hands of others, and he was too ashamed to yell out, so he gritted his teeth in anger, hum hum endlessly.Ouyang Shuang tried her best to restrain her husband, but when she saw that her brother was still about to speak, she hurriedly said: "Brother Hong, you and I are both framed by an adulterer, your brother-in-law believes in slander to the bone, there is no way to explain it, and he will definitely kill us. There is no way you can survive here , if you are my brother, you escaped from the back cliff in a hurry. Because he cherishes his face, he will kill me as soon as he sees you go. Find out the enemy's treachery, restore my innocence, and keep my family's cigarettes. If you are disobedient and try to argue with him, you and I will die within a day." Ouyang Hong saw that the matter was urgent, and he was panicked and sad at the same time , sadly said: "Since my sister said so, I won't let my brother not leave. But I think I am not at fault..." When she wanted to continue, Ouyang Shuang couldn't help gritting her teeth and hurried to leave. Talking more is useless and harmful.Ouyang Hong forced him to stop here, and asked: "I don't know why my brother-in-law hates me so much? Within a year, he will come to lead him to death and avenge the adulterer. For the sake of my sister, I will bid farewell for the time being." After finishing speaking, he stamped his feet and flew out.When I went out, I still heard Nai's sister urging me to leave.Misfortune fell from the sky, and my heart was cut like a knife.Yuquan obeyed his sister's order, escaped from the village over the cliff, and entered the village later in the evening to find out the truth. Not to mention that Ouyang Hong had another encounter during this trip, which was a blessing in disguise.It is only said that Ouyang Shuang saw her brother escaped from the murderous hands, and thought: "If I don't do it, I won't stop. I'll just wait for someone to go far away before letting go." right hand.Xiao Yi was furious, and with a wave of his momentum, Ouyang Shuang fell to the ground, holding back tears and said: "I have left my cigarettes, you can kill me." Xiao Yi angrily shouted in a low voice: "You think I am like yours?" May I let you live longer if you let go of the little bastard?" Then, he rushed forward angrily, just as he grabbed Ouyang Shuang, Xiao Zhen rushed over and cried, "Kill me!" Damn, is it really Daddy?" After finishing his sentence, he became furious for the second time, and without turning his breath, he fell to the ground, his face was ashen, and he passed out.The two little brothers and sisters on the bed just stopped crying and got out of bed when they saw their uncle entering the room. They wanted to hug each other, but when they saw their parents move their hands, they were so frightened that they stood aside and stared, and forgot to cry again.At this time, I saw my mother was knocked down by my father, my father grabbed him viciously, and my brother fell to the ground again. When I was afraid, with a sound of "wow", he staggered and ran over while crying for his mother, and fell on Naimu. , hugging his head and crying loudly.No matter how hard-hearted Xiao Yi was, he couldn't do anything again.Another thought: "It's really inappropriate to kill her at this time, not to mention that the eldest son has a very good nature, and he will cry to death. The two younger sons are too young, and there will be no one to lead them. They will hold their clothes and cry every day. Suo Mu, how can I bear it? The big one is witnessing his own murder, and it is inevitable to reveal it to others, wouldn't it be embarrassing?" As soon as the thought changed, the murderous intention stopped immediately.He hurriedly ran over, picked up Xiao Zhen first, and used his family's technique to slap open the blocked air pocket.She glared at Ouyang Shuang and said, "You bitch, I think I will spare you for the time being because of the three children. Why don't you get out of bed and take Xuan'er and Lian'er to the house?" Like a knife cut, the nature is strong, and the original is not hesitating to die.Just because she was wronged, she died in an inexplicable way, she was too unwilling, and she couldn't let go of her three young children.Hearing this, he immediately stood up, pointed at Xiao Yi, gritted his teeth with tears, and said: "Stop swearing, and remember that I have lost all friendship with you, a heartless fool, and life is meaningless. I'm too unwilling to die. When things are cleared up sooner or later, I don't need you to tell me to die. I will die for you. If you have a little heart, today's matter is nothing. I will show you the enemy's conspiracy Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yi shook his hands wildly, and shouted in a low voice: "When you are dying, you are still in love with adultery. It is useless to let the adulterer go and say that you will go to heaven. Shame on you, and shame on me No matter what you say, I have my own idea. Zhen'er wake up, don't let him hear you, she is no younger than the two younger ones, and not sensible. Take his two little brothers and sisters to the back room to coax for a while, so that Zhen'er can be taken care of Let's go have dinner together." Ouyang Shuang knew that her husband was too suspicious, so she said nothing, so she said "good", resisted dizziness, picked up Xuan and Lian brothers and sisters one by one in each hand, and walked into the room . Xiao Zhen only had her qi blocked and phlegm closed, relying on her father's skillful hand, she pressed and patted slightly, turned her qi forward, opened her orifices, vomited a mouthful of turbid phlegm, and woke up from crying.He opened his eyes and saw that Naimu was not in the room. At that time, he was so anxious that his heart and soul trembled, and he shouted for his mother, his eyes were scattered, his whole body trembled, his face turned blue again, his hands and feet stretched wildly, and he went to the ground desperately. Earn it.Xiao Yi saw the fierceness of this son, just now he was exhausted, he couldn't bear to be stimulated again, so he woke up, the trick was not finished, he couldn't let it go.And I'm afraid that after entering the room, Nai's mother will say something bad to him. How can a child bear it because of his natural talent?Hugged tightly, suppressed the grief, and comforted her with gentle words: "Your mother took the little brothers and sisters, and they were breastfeeding in that room. Today I was practicing kung fu with her for fun, teasing the three of you to be anxious, but I don't want you but treat it as It’s true. Do you think your father and mother can fight? You just woke up and couldn’t get off the ground. If you don’t believe me, I’ll hold you and watch. Stop and eat when you regain your composure. Today, I told my husband that I’ll skip school for half a day. Tell you to watch your mother all day, so you don't believe it." Xiao Zhen was young and smart, so she was not willing to believe it, but she continued to earn money.Later, when he heard that he was going to take him to see him, he just stopped earning, and stopped listening to what he said, and even shouted: "Go quickly, I want a mother!" Seeing this, Xiao Yi was very moved and couldn't help but shed tears.I don't know if I can see it in person, so I have to answer: "My dear, don't worry, Dad will just take you." He hugged Xiao Zhen as he said, and walked into the suite. At this time, Ouyang Shuang's heart was emboldened, she made up her mind, and put life and death aside.As soon as he entered the inner room, he sat on Xiao Zhen's couch, one on each side of his hands, hugging the two little children who were as jade and snow, and unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the snow-like white grub jade breasts and the double breasts rubbed by Fen Disu .The two little brothers and sisters came to the loving mother's arms, and the crying gradually stopped.When breastfeeding, when seeing the mother's milk, each stretched out a small white and fat fist full of meat, grabbed the soft and fragrant half of the breast, and squeezed the reddish and light purple nipple. , stuffed into the small mouth, while sucking, while opening the black eyes, looking at the mother's face, from time to time each stretched out a small fat leg, the brother and sister kicked each other, lively and pure Innocent.Although the tears on Ouyang Shuang's face had been wiped away, her beautiful eyes were still glowing.On the surface, the spirit is very resolute, the heroic posture is calm, as if nothing happened, and the strong spirit is clearly displayed.If someone else saw her so calm and energetic, she must suspect that someone framed his wife.However, Xiao Yi is wise and skeptical, confident and discerning, not easy to be confused, once confused, it is not easy to understand.In addition, the love between husband and wife is too deep, and suddenly there is a huge change, and the hatred becomes more intense.I also know that my wife is extremely smart, no matter what the situation is, it should be an act.In addition, when Ouyang Shuang was in danger, he did not hesitate to turn his back on the enemy and let Ouyang Hong go, making the matter even more solid.Already in a daze of anger, unconscious mind, blindly calculating how to cover up shame and relieve hatred, how can I have the mood to carefully examine right and wrong.When I entered the room, I only said: "Isn't your mother breastfeeding? I said it was a fake beating, teasing you, you still don't believe it." After finishing speaking, fearing that Ouyang Shuang would startle her son with angry words again, she quickly turned her head away, Didn't even look straight in the face. Ouyang Shuang understood his intentions, and put on a smile and said, "Zhen'er, why are you so stupid? You are just kidding, why are you so serious?" Xiao Zhen was already nine years old at that time, after all, she was not a three-year-old or two-year-old child. Yi Hong, even though he heard his mother say the same thing, finally felt that the situation was not the same, he had more doubts than believed, so he asked: "Since parents are fake beatings, why don't you call uncle to come back?" ask live.Xiao Yi was still hesitating, but Ouyang Shuang hurriedly said: "Your uncle is not from this place, you have known it since you were a child. He should have gone back to pick up your grandma's cigarettes a long time ago, because your brother's illness has delayed him so far. He should leave this morning. Fearing that your brother would cry, I made a false beating so that you would cry more. Don’t talk about it outside. If you ask your mother why you are crying, just say that your brother suddenly fell ill, and you should hold your breath. Mom is anxious and sad. Yes." Xiao Zhen immediately replied to Xiao Yi: "Is what Mom said true? Why did dad beat Mom with my family's evil hands?" Xiao Yi hated his wife to the bone, and in order to protect his beloved son, he had no choice but to answer. : "Who is coaxing you? If someone really wants to kill someone, there are swords, swords and hidden weapons on the wall, why use your hands? Besides, I will never be in front of you. Although I am the village owner, I can't kill people casually, let alone kill people. My wife. Why don’t you even understand this, just ask?” Xiao Zhen was dubious at last, and replied: “I don’t care anyway, whoever hurts my parents, I will kill his whole family. If my father hurts my mother , I’ll just kill myself.” Xiao Yi said: “Don’t talk nonsense, what’s the matter? Let’s have dinner together.” Because of insufficient breast milk, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lian always had some rice juice with each meal.Xiao Yi disdained to talk to his wife, and was afraid that his child would starve, so he made such general remarks.I thought it was my wife who would pretend to be angry, so I ignored it.Unexpectedly, Ouyang Shuang hugged the two children when she heard the words, clasped them in her arms, stood up and left.Xiao Yi saw that she seemed to have passed the incident and didn't care at all, with a very natural expression, just as his heart moved, he suddenly thought of something else, secretly gritted his teeth, hugged Xiao Zhen, and then followed. The dining room maid waited for a long time for the village owner not to come to eat, and the soup in the hot pot had been refilled twice.Seeing the master coming, the uncle has not yet arrived, so he added rice and rice juice for the young master, intending to go to the study to urge him.Ouyang Shuang said: "My uncle was ordered by the village owner to go out to the mountain to do some important things, and he will come back after a while, so this seat should be removed." After finishing speaking, feed the children as usual.On weekdays, Ouyang Hong is taking care of him, and he is used to taking turns feeding and hugging.Suddenly one went, Ouyang Shuang fed this one, and wanted to take care of the other, the two children fought each other, grabbed the cups, chopsticks, spoons and plates on the table, the adults only had one hand, how could they be busy.The two little ones refused to be fed by others, they handed it over and shouted, "I want uncle!"Xiao Xuan couldn't keep shouting too much, her little mouth was about to cry.Xiao Yi had already put Xiao Zhen on the seat, picked up some vegetables, and let her eat by herself.How can I have the heart to eat, I barely ate half a bowl.Seeing that the child was making a fuss, the mother and child were dripping with soup, and the plate and spoon were caught by the child and fell to pieces. The weather was cold, and I was afraid that the rice juice would get cold and get sick, so I had to be patient and take it from Xiao Xuan. , one by one, to feed the children.I thought to myself: "I don't usually think that it is already like this to leave a beast; if the bitch is really put to death, among other things, these three motherless children will be extremely difficult to deal with. If this bitch is allowed to live, Being a nominal husband and wife to take care of these three children, I feel that the hatred is hard to get rid of." After thinking about it, there is no good way except to wait for the children to grow up and then execute them.While pondering and observing carefully, she saw that Nai's wife was still the same as usual. After feeding the children, she ordered someone to add hot rice, and then she served the dishes and ate calmly, eating as much as she should.Except for the redness of the eye circles as if she had cried, she didn't show any other signs.The child kept calling uncle, and coaxed him as he yelled, with no abnormalities in his face, except that he didn't talk to himself. On the other hand, Xiao Zhen is young, born smart, once explained by her parents, she is still suspicious, her eyes are always fixed on her parents' faces in turn, checking her expressions, she has not swallowed a bowl of rice, her brows are tightly frowned, and she looks worried from time to time .Ask him why he doesn't eat, what is he doing?With red eyes, he replied "not hungry", and even put down the bowl.Fearing that he would become angry and overwhelmed, and feeling distressed, I had no choice but to listen to it.Xiao Yi looked at it, was sad again, and cursed secretly: "Bitch, you have been married for many years, I never imagined that you have such a deep city, and when you encounter such shame and humiliation, your life is at stake, and your expression remains unchanged, and you don't care about anything. It's hard for you After giving birth to such a good child, even though I'm not going to kill you, how will you live in the future?" He was thinking wildly, but he didn't know that Ouyang Shuang was in the room for a while, and his wound was extremely painful because of eating a hot hand. Hate him for being unscrupulous and merciless, with deep sorrow and anger.虽料定丈夫中了畹秋、萧元奸计，但是畹秋诡诈多谋，阴险已极，看她多年匿怨交欢，忽然发动，必已罗网周密，陷阱甚深；再加当时为了顾全兄弟，强他逃走，事愈坐实。就这样分辩，话决说不进去。反正活着无味，徒受凌辱，转不如以死明心，留下遗书，以破奸谋。使这昧良薄幸人事后明白，抱恨终身，死为厉鬼，寻找仇人索命，迫她自吐罪状，岂不容易洗刷清白？越想心越窄，为复丈夫之仇，成心使他痛定思痛，永远难受，连眼前爱儿爱女都不再留恋。自杀之念一定，又见丈夫进房时情景，看出他心疼爱子，屈意相容之状，知自己一死，丢下这三个小儿女，就够他受的，气极心横，暗忖得计，愈发坚了必死之志。表面上仍装作镇静从容，强忍伤痛，一同吃完午饭，仍抱两小儿女回房。萧珍疑念未消，连忙跟去。萧逸心伤神沮，不愿多见妻子，自往峰下闲游去了。 说也凑巧。午后忽然云密天阴，似有酿雪之状。黄昏将近，天便下了大雪。不消个把时辰，积深尺许，全村峰崖林木，俱变成玉砌银装。萧逸出门，在村前几个长老家坐谈了半天，独自一人，踏雪归来，胸中藏着无限悲痛凄惶。行近峰前，几番踟蹰，直不愿再见妻子的面。冒着寒风，在昏夜雪地里徘徊了一会儿，觉不是事，才勉强懒洋洋一步步踏级而升。刚走到庭前，见台阶上薄薄地飘着一层积雪，上面现出两个女人脚印，脚尖向里，仿佛人自外来的，已有片刻。平台和阶前一带，已被后下的雪盖没。阶上积雪，原是随风刮进，此时风向稍转，雪刮不到，所以脚印遗留在此。心想：“这般风雪寒天，别人无事不会到此，难道畹秋已知事发，赶来相劝不成？”念头刚转，忽然一阵寒风，从对面穿堂屋中迎面刮来，把阶前余雪刮起一个急旋，往屋外面雪浪中卷去。堂前一盏壁灯，光焰摇摇，似明欲灭，景象甚是阴晦凄凉，若有鬼影。与往日回家，稚子牵衣，爱妻携儿抱女，款笑相迎情况，一热一冷，迥乎天渊之别。不禁毛发皆竖，激灵灵打了一个冷战。定睛一看，四屋静悄悄，除穿堂后厨房中灯光和堂屋这盏半明半灭的壁灯外，各屋都是漆黑一片，不见一点灯亮，也不闻小儿女笑语之声。心中一动，想起前事，恐有变故，连忙抢步往卧房中跑去。 房里黑洞洞，连唤了数声，婢仆一个也未到，反将屋里两个小儿女惊醒。萧逸听得儿女哭声，以为妻必在里屋同睡，看情形决未夜饭，心才略放，暗骂：“贱人还有脸负气，我留你命是为儿女。天都这么晚，连灯都不点，也不招呼开饭。三个婢仆也是可恶，主人不说话，便自偷懒。”一边径去寻火点灯，急切间又寻不到火石。耳听儿啼更急，却不听妻和长子声息，忍不住骂道：“贱人睡得好死！”一步抢进房去，脚底忽有一物横卧。幸是萧逸练就眼力，身手轻灵，没有绊倒。低头一看，是个女子，面朝下躺在地下。乍还以为妻子寻了短见，虽在痛恨之余，毕竟还是多年夫妻，心里也是着急，不禁伸手想要抱起。身子一俯，看出身材不似，微闻喉中还有格格喘息之声，更觉不类。再定睛仔细一看，竟是女仆雷二娘。 萧家下人，例由随隐亲族中晚辈和本门徒弟以及旧日仆婢家人值役，本来人数甚多。自萧父去世，萧逸继位村主，屡说避世之人，俱应力作，俗世尊卑贵贱，不宜再论，意欲免去服役之例。村中诸长老再三相劝，说村中事繁，已经操心，哪能再使劳力？况且全村能有今日，俱出萧逸祖孙父子三代之赐，都供役使，也是应该，何必拘泥？萧逸此举，原为讨爱妻欢心，使随隐的人都成一样，无形中把乃岳身份也自提高。见众人苦劝，想下折中办法，作为以幼事长，有事弟子服其劳。于亲戚、门人、旧仆中，选出些男女佣人，不问身份高下，专以年齿长幼和辈数高低，来定去取，分期轮值。平时家中只用三人：一个管着厨下，一个经营洒扫，一个帮带小孩。遇上年节事忙，再行随时添用。三人中有两个按期轮值，且不说他。惟独这雷二娘，本是萧家平辈亲戚，父母双亡，只剩她自己，刚订了婚，男的忽得暴病而死。男女两方从小同时长大，都是爱好结亲，情爱至厚，立誓不再嫁人。身又伶仃孤苦，分了点田，也不惯操作。自愿投到村主家中服役，把田业让给别人。欧阳霜见她忠诚细心，善于照料小孩，甚是看重，相待极厚。萧逸一见是她，同时又发现她手旁遗有引火之物，颇似进房点灯，被人打倒神气。情知有异，忙取火先将灯点上，再一注视，果是被人点了哑穴。 灯光一亮，小孩急喊爹爹，声已哭哑。回顾欧阳霜和爱子萧珍，俱无踪迹。两小儿女各自站在床上，一个扶着床栏杆，一个竟颤巍巍走到床边，同张小手，哭喊：“爹爹快来！”摇摇欲跌。萧逸见状，心疼已极。当时情绪如麻，恐小儿女不小心，跌倒受伤，不顾先救大人，急纵过去，恰值萧琏伸手扑来，一把抱住，没有跌倒。萧璇也跟着扑到萧逸怀中，齐声哭喊：“爹爹，我要妈妈呀！”萧逸匆促忙乱中，地下还倒卧着一个大人，不知受伤轻重，哪顾得再哄小孩。忙喊：“乖乖莫闹，妈妈一会儿就来，快些坐下，爹爹还有点事。”说罢，欲将小儿放下。原来两小兄妹早已醒转，见娘不在，室中暗黑，又怕又急，早哭过几次，委屈了好些时，又一心想着妈妈，乍见亲爹，哪肯放手，抱紧乃父肩膀，哑声大哭要娘，坚不肯释。萧逸好容易解开这个，那个又复抱紧。见小孩禀赋甚强，人小力大，硬放恐怕受伤，哄既不听，吓又不忍；更恐时辰太久，伤人不易复原。万般无奈，只把两个小兄妹一同抱起，走到雷二娘身侧，勉强匀出一手，将她穴道点活，救醒转来。刚回手抱起儿女，未及问讯，雷二娘张口便急喊道：“大嫂子走了，三侄子也不知往哪里去了，这怎么得了呀！”萧逸闻言，头脑立时晕了一下，好似焦雷击顶，目定神呆，半晌做声不得。小孩哪知甚事，仍是哑着喉咙，一味哭闹要妈，萧逸还得耐着心哄他们，可是不得其法，小孩又聪明，哪里肯信，非当时妈妈到来不可，于是越哄越哭。大人见他们哭得眼肿喉哑，又没法子哄劝，闹得萧逸如醉如痴，心似刀割。一面勉强哄着怀中儿女，昏沉沉瞪着一双泪眼，望着雷二娘，竟未想起问话。 雷二娘已知道一半原委，见他这样，老大不忍，也不禁眼泪汪汪，十分伤感。无亲身受奸人挟持，不得不昧一点良心，说些不实不尽的假话。略定喘息，凄然劝慰道：“村主先莫伤心。大嫂走时，因我拼命苦拦，遂将我点倒。她是决不会再回来的了。不过我看三儿决未带走，我是心里明白，不能转动。这般大雪寒天，等我来看着小娃儿，你快些寻她回来要紧。”一句话把萧逸提醒，忙把两小儿交给雷二娘，起身想往外跑。不料小孩子仍然抢扑身上，伸出小手，将手臂紧紧抱定不放，口里乱哭乱喊，力竭声嘶，嘴皮都发了乌色。萧璇性子更烈，几乎闭过气去。萧逸不忍心硬走，重又把二小儿抱将过来。这两个小兄妹任凭怎哄，只是不听。雷二娘刚刚醒转，坐立尚且勉强，不能走动。萧逸心似油煎，真神无主。因顾念二个子女，恐怕万一急昏倒地，事更大糟。万般无奈中，还得竭力克制自己，平息心气，不敢过于着急。停了一会儿，好容易和儿女说好，说：“妈和哥哥到山底下，风雪太大，不能上来，非爹去拉不可，你没听哥哥哭么？两个乖娃娃等一会儿，让爹爹接他们去。”这原是骗小孩子的话，才一说完，外屋一阵风过，果然听见萧珍哭喊着妈，隐隐传来。两小兄妹本来不信，闻言俱在侧耳凝听，一听哥哥哭声，方始信以为真，也不再拉紧，一同推着萧逸的手，指着外面，直喊哥哥。萧逸听出爱子定在屋外风雪中啼哭，心中怦怦直跳，正赶小孩松了手，一句话也不愿再说，径把两个儿女往床上一放，口中急说：“乖娃娃莫哭，我就来了。”人早往外奔去。 出房门时，还仿佛听得爱子哭喊妈妈之声，急于救转，匆匆奔出，没有细辨方向。等跑到平台上面，见寒风刮面，雪花如掌，积雪已经尺许，下得正大。再侧耳谛听哭声所在，哪里还有。料知爱子必然冻倒在地，大雪迷茫，地方又大，何处寻找？早知如此，今日不和贱人动武也好。越想越悔，又痛又急。在平台上冒着寒风大雪，东听听，西听听，更无半点声息。勉强平息心情，回忆两次哭声。第一次室内所闻，仿佛就在屋后。但那地方是一片半山上的竹园，妻室逃时，必然翻山而走，方向不对；并且园中多蛇，子女从来不去。如说不是，声音又似那方传来。再者山崖相隔甚远，哭声也传不到。反正探听不出，姑且往园中找一回试试。于是回走穿堂门，走出屋后，口里狂喊珍儿，脚底飞跑。才出堂门，嘴刚一开，便灌了满口的雪。声音吃风刮转，连自己也觉不甚洪亮。情急寻子，且不管它。仗着一身内功，不畏大雪崎岖，将气一提，施展踏雪无痕的本领，飞步往竹园中跑去。 竹园因山而置，分作上下两层。每年全村吃用的笋和竹子，十九取给于此。地甚宽大，幸是隆冬时节，经过农隙一番斫取，行列萧疏，不甚茂密。不似夏秋之交，绿云千亩，碍风蔽日。密的地方，人如侧身而过，比较易走得多。萧逸在竹林内边喊边找，四处乱看，眼里似要冒出火来。眉睫上飘集的雪花，遇热消融，满脸乱流，随擦随有。眼看走了一半，仍无回音。正在焦急失望，忽瞥见前面的雪隆起数尺长一条，仿佛下有石块。心中一动，方要用脚去拨，猛发现一个人头，依稀在雪中露出。忙伸手一拨，竟是萧珍倒扑雪里，已经闭过气去。想是冻倒不久，童阳之体，脸上犹有余热。雪势虽大，只将身子盖没，头部雪积不住，胸前还有余温，尚还可救。可是时候稍久，只要晚来片刻，怕不冻成冰块才怪。忙先脱下衣服，将他抱起回走。想起爱子头上连帽子也未戴，周身冰湿，两只棉鞋俱都不在脚上，衣裤俱被竹枝挂破，袜底也穿破了好几个孔洞，料在雪中寻娘奔驰多时，力竭倒地。心疼已极，不由一阵悲酸，哭出声来。 一路飞跑，回到屋内。雷二娘正抱两个小兄妹在哄劝。另一女婢因日里主人有话，除雷二娘外，不唤不许到前面来，与厨婢枯坐厨房烤火，久候传餐，无有音信。适才仿佛听得主人两声急喊，到前面窥探，被雷二娘唤住，命她生火取暖。刚把烘炉取来，放在二娘身前，回取青杠炭，在生火塔。见主人抱了小主人，面色铁青，狼狈走进，俱都吓了一跳。尤其雷二娘，萧珍差不多是她带大，心中明白，又愧又悲，忍不住哇地哭了起来。萧逸更连眼泪也急了回去，将爱子放在床上，先取两重棉被，连头盖上，微露口鼻。颤着悲声，急喊快取衣服、开水、姜汤。人却奔向衣柜，一阵乱翻，寻出两套棉衣裤。那么精明干练的人，竟闹了个手忙脚乱。中小衣还未寻到，又想起救人为要。忙丢下衣服，上床嘴对萧珍的嘴，往里渡热气。两三口后，方始想以内家按摩之法，暗骂自己该死。用力一扯，先撕破湿衣脱去，两手搓热，按着穴道，浑身给他揉搓。等到女婢往厨房取来姜汤、热水，又唤了厨娘同来相助时，萧珍已一声“妈妈”，哭醒还阳。两小兄妹被这一阵人翻马乱，反倒停了哭声，只一递一声喊着“妈妈”，中间又夹喊两声“哥哥”。听萧珍苏醒，一哭妈妈，又跟着大哭起来。这时萧逸万箭穿心，也无比苦痛。一阵伤心过度，俯伏到爱子枕前，几乎急昏过去。心中却又明白，放着三个无母之儿，还病不得。硬把心肠撇开，缓一缓气，睁开二目，对萧珍道：“珍儿莫哭。我日里出门，你不是和妈在一处么？她往哪里去了？”萧珍浑身嗦嗦乱抖，牙齿捉对儿不住寒战，交击有声，只管抽噎痛哭，透不过气来。两个小的，已经哭岔了声，一味哑号，惨不忍闻。
