Chapter 194 The 193rd round of compartmental celebrations, joys and sorrows, different regrets, in the middle of the night, encountering narrow roads, enmity and enmity are hard to resolve, heart-wrenching

After listening to her mother's words, Yaoxian expected nothing false.Knowing is the heartbreak of the father, or even worse than the back injury.He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mom, Dad has long since returned to his heart to pity you." After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran to the upper room, and told Wen He the truth about everything that happened.Wen He still regarded it as an excuse, and then thought about his beloved wife's daily behavior. Sure enough, for more than ten years, only two nights ago and two nights ago when he kissed the victim and left, did he realize the truth.

But I have been injured twice, and there is no regret.At that time, Yaoxian was hurriedly ordered to go with Jiangxue, wrap Wanqiu in a quilt, carry him into the upper room, lie on the same couch, and question him carefully.Wanqiu wished that her husband would calm down, so as not to have a recurrence of his back injury. Even though he was ill, he still kept up his spirits, caring and caring for every possible thing.The husband and wife explained their words, expressed regret to each other, and reconciled with each other.Unexpectedly, Wenhe was seriously injured, and Wanqiu tried every means to treat his illness, but in the end it was ineffective. That night, he had a severe cold and fever, and gradually became unconscious.It took only four days to die.Wanqiu was full of regrets and regrets, and she couldn't bear to live.After repeated dissuasion by Yaoxian, he did not commit suicide.Soon he recovered from his illness, but he was fascinated all day long and had no joy in life.Before Wen He died, because Wan Qiu knew the doctor, he was afraid that the matter would be leaked, and he knew he couldn't afford it, so he didn't ask others for diagnosis and treatment.

Xiao Yi didn't believe it, he just heard people talking about it, and when he came to see him, he was almost dying, he thought to himself: "His husband and wife love each other very much, there are many good doctors in the village, and he is also an expert, why is he so critically ill? Don't ask everyone to discuss and decide on a prescription?" Xin Fang was surprised, and suddenly received a report that Xiao Yuan's condition was critical, so he couldn't help but feel moved.At this time, the sky was not clear, and the snow was still falling intermittently.Went to Xiao Yuan's house to see, Wei cried to the crowd, saying that her husband Xueye got up to relieve his hand, fell into the snow pit, did not get up, and was rescued by himself after a long time, thinking that the cold was not important.Yesterday, I asked for medical treatment, saying that it was hopeless.Weeping.Within two days, Xiao Yuan and Wen He died one after another.The deaths of the two of Xiao Yi were all caused by his wife's negligence, unlike their usual lives, the more they thought about it, the more suspicious they became, and they couldn't think of any reason.At the moment, I lead the villagers to help each other into the coffin, stay in the room, and wait for the burial in spring.do not mention.

Knowing that it's her mother's hidden love, Yaoxian already deeply hated Xiao Yi after chasing the origin of the disaster, and the hatred of not wanting to teach martial arts is deeply engraved in her heart. The snow continued to fall until New Year's Eve.During the Chinese New Year in the village, the original is extremely lively, only because of two or three funerals in succession, the snow is too heavy, and there are many happy events, which cannot be held.Xiao Yi was upset because of the new death of his second wife, leaving the housework unattended.In order to make Aiko like it, I managed to get some food and lanterns, and planned to come late to celebrate the New Year with my children.All the things that should be done in each year will be presided over by another person, so that the illness can't be diagnosed.Xiao Yi is the most loved by the villagers. The villagers see him in a bad mood and bad mood, and they are not motivated; it is far from the previous year when the preparations started three days before New Year's Eve, and Xiao Yi was the leader. Have fun as much as you want, and on New Year's Eve, after midnight, there are fire trees and silver flowers everywhere, and there are scenes of singing and dancing.Everyone just stayed in their own homes, offering sacrifices to their ancestors, preparing for the new year, and watching Xiao Yi act according to his will, no one wanted to go out in the cold wind and heavy snow, causing the noise to be deserted.Looking from the top down, the whole village is covered with snow, a vast expanse of whiteness.There are only some red lights on the top of the mountain and the water in the houses, which are scattered high and low, embellishing the year scene, and setting off each other.Even the firecrackers do not make a single sound. Compared with the grand occasion of the old days when the blare was played all night and the valleys blared, it is a world away.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yi cheered up, finished the New Year's meal hastily, worshiped the ancestors and gods, and led the children back to the house to watch the new year.Walking to the front of the hall, you can hear the sound of firecrackers down the mountain.Looking down, seeing such a scene, I knew it was yesterday that I was sick and thanked the guests, and the dragons had no leader, so everyone lost interest, couldn't help sighing, and turned back into the room.It is a custom in the village, because there are too many people, all of them are either relatives or friends, and each family visits for several days, and it is not possible to visit all over the place. The New Year's greetings are all on the first morning of the new year when the sun is bright, and they go to the ancestral hall together to have fun together.Although Xiao Yi was younger and not the person to officiate, but as the head of the village, he had to go to the New Year's Ceremony.Days of sorrow and sorrow, exhaustion and exhaustion, I plan to put my children to sleep in the middle of the night, and I also rest for a while, so that I can go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors tomorrow morning.Unexpectedly, I lit the New Year's candle, took some sweets and tangerines from this mountain, and planned to distribute them to the three little brothers and sisters. Suddenly, I saw Xiao Zhen's face was full of sorrow, staring at the edge of the tent in a daze, with hot tears in her eyes, falling one by one. endlessly.Looking at the couch, I suddenly realized.It turned out that Xiao Yi was hurt by the scene, and all the belongings of his beloved wife were ordered to be confiscated and kept aside.After the death of Erniang, the Xiao family has been in chaos.When the new year came, Xiao Yi saw that the things in the room were messy and messy, and he didn't care about himself, so he ordered his servants to tidy up, take out some things that were used next year, and prepare for the new year's decoration.But the maid on duty didn't know the difference, and when she went to another building to fetch things, she inadvertently took out a few table surrounds, chair covers and curtains that Ouyang Shuang had embroidered by herself in Japan.Xiao Yi was offering sacrifices to the gods at the back, but he didn't know it.After returning to the room, I was too busy comforting my children to pay attention.At this time, when I looked closely, I realized that my son had seen this thing embroidered by his mother in the past.As soon as my heart was sour, I heard Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lian, two little brothers and sisters behind me, sobbing and whispering to each other, complaining that I didn't keep my word, and on the night of New Year's Eve, my mother didn't come back and lied to them.Looking back, the two little brothers and sisters were sitting on the same small bench, hugging their heads and facing each other, wiping each other's tears and crying about missing their mother.Xiao Yi was worried that they would miss their mother, so he once warned: "You are all getting older every year, and you are not allowed to cry on New Year's Eve." Unable to stop, Xiao Lian burst into tears first, and Xiao Xuan naturally let out a cry of grief.Xiao Zhen is old, although she remembers her father's words, she doesn't cry like two little girls, but her emotion is from the heart and she can't help herself, this silent cry is even more heartbreaking.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi felt both sad and anxious, not knowing which one to comfort.With painful tears in his eyes, he forced himself to bear the sadness, and walked over, one in each hand, first picked up the two little brothers and sisters, walked to the tea table and sat down.Thinking of the older one again, she hurriedly shouted: "Come on, baby!" Xiao Zhen approached with tears in her eyes, pulled him to her side, and sat down next to him.Then they comforted each other with gentle words, finally persuaded them one by one, and shared the fructose in front of everyone.Xiao Zhen also talked about Erniang's pitiful death that night. The two little brothers and sisters had no mother since they were young, and they were the most affectionate with Erniang.Xiao Yi's heart was suddenly touched, he hurriedly persuaded his children first, and interrogated the three children, how does the second mother treat each other?What can I say?The three little ones first said in unison that the second mother loved the three of them very much, and cared about her warmth and coldness, and cared for every detail; her temper was better, no matter how much she was tortured, she was always smiling, unlike others who were talkative; when she met two naughty little ones, She is always coaxing and persuading, never swearing at anyone. Everyone loves her and listens to her.Later Xiao Yi restrained the younger one and interrogated the older one.Xiao Zhencai mentioned that Erniang repeatedly told her not to leave her when she came home from school, so as not to be bullied.Recently, I have learned my skills, but I am persuading him even more tightly.He also told Xiao Zhen brothers and sisters to ignore Cui Yaoxian, especially the Cui family.Asked her why, she said that her mother told her when she left, and she would naturally understand when her mother came back.He also said that the Yaoxian girl is too bad-tempered, and because she can't learn martial arts, it's inevitable that she will hold grudges and hurt others.Last year, I suddenly wept behind people, always saying that I am sorry for the mistress, and that death is a crime.Asked why she was like this, but she just cried and didn't say anything.Or it means that when mother leaves, she deserves to die, and she can't chase after her to stop her, causing our father, son, wife and mother to be separated, and we are sad all the time, how can we tell her to behave?Every time you cry, you must tell the second little brother and sister with kind words, never tell your father, lest you will be sad and add to her crime; otherwise, she will also go to the bamboo forest to seek death, and don't want to live anymore.Ten days before her death, she often talked to herself, crying and scolding Wanqiu and herself.He also told Xiao Zhen repeatedly that Aunt Cui's cousin is not a good person.Whenever she gets sick and is about to die, or is hurt by someone, Xiao Zhen will believe it, no matter where she is, she must run to find her, she has something very important to say.After cross-examination, I couldn't tell why.After I said it, I said it was ulterior.Although Xiao Zhen was skeptical, because she was afraid that Erniang would be sad and commit suicide, she always wanted to make things easier in the future, so she questioned her secretly. At that time, she heard her pleading, but she couldn't bear to tell her father.After a few days, he hanged himself.When Xiao Yi heard this, after thinking about it, Wan Qiu was very suspicious.Although Erniang was not the murderer, there must be some inaccuracies in the scene of his beloved wife's death.She wished silently to Kong, and kept saying that the mistress was wronged, which shows that someone conspired to frame her for what happened back then.I only hate people dying suddenly, and I can't ask about it.If there is really a grievance, how can a loving couple ask about their experience?The more I thought about it, the sadder I became, and the more I felt the pitiful death of my beloved wife, I couldn't help crying.

The three little brothers and sisters thought hard about their loving mother, and missed their second mother. They were already very sad, but they were reluctantly persuaded by their father. Although there was a pile of their favorite food in front of them, they only looked at each with a pair of rosy and handsome eyes.Seeing Nai's father's sad and angry face, he wept sadly, but he couldn't help being sad, and sobbed again for the third time.Xiao Yi's chest was filled with sorrow and pain, and he thought to himself: "Children's nature is to force grief, but to be sad. I am also upright, and I am not like a child, crying loudly and venting the stagnant air in my chest. Don’t get sick from boredom.” Thinking of this, he blurted out weeping and said: “Boys, your father deserves to die, I’m so sorry for your mother, let’s cry with your father tonight for her.” The words just came out, and the tears in his eyes were like tears. Quan Yong hugged the three little siblings and burst into tears.

The father and son were crying loudly, when Xiao Yi raised his head occasionally, he saw a small hole in the paper window, and there seemed to be a little black light flashing, knowing that someone was peeping.The first time I got the truth, the suspicious villain came to spy again, let alone tell the truth.Pretending to bring tea for the children to drink, let go of the third child, still crying, and approached the window.Turning around quickly, stretching out his hand, scratching through the paper window, looking out through the window, he couldn't help shouting: "Sister Shuang!" Fearing that he would escape, he didn't even care about the door, so he raised his hands vigorously, As soon as the window lattice was pushed, there was a chaotic sound of clicking, and amidst the sound of the lattice wood breaking, the person had already jumped out of the window hole and chased to the platform.Xiao Yi's shouts were familiar to Xiao Zhen since she was a child.What was on his mind, he immediately became alert when he heard the sound, and shouted wildly: "Mom is back!" Following the sound, he also rushed out through the broken window and rushed to the platform to have a look, Xiao Yi was there anxiously Beating his chest and stamping his feet, weeping anxiously, he shouted to Kong: "Sister Shuang, if you come back after becoming a fairy, I deserve to die, even if you don't miss me, your three poor beloved sons and daughters, who miss their mother so much, cry all year round. , don’t you have the heart to leave it behind, and stay for a while to see them?” Xiao Zhen burst into tears, knelt in the snow, and shouted: “Oh my god! I want to kill my son, come down from the sky. !"

It turned out that Xiao Yi had just discovered the broken part of the window paper, a black light flashed, quite like human eyes, fearing that the villain would startle away, he deliberately walked sideways, unexpectedly, and quickly tore the window paper.Unexpectedly, the person outside is actually Ouyang Shuang, who is uncertain about his life and death, day and night.Wanting to cry because of peeking at the father and son in the room, sad and distracted, he didn't pay attention, and showed his trace.Hearing the sound of the window paper being torn, when he hurriedly flew to the platform, the snow was shining, and his figure had already been seen by her husband.Xiao Yi saw that he was his beloved wife, something happened unexpectedly, he was full of surprises, he was in a hurry, he didn't think she was a ghost, so he hurriedly chased her out through the window.At this time, Ouyang Shuang had obtained the legend of immortality, and the relationship between husband and wife had long since been icy cold.There were only three beloved sons and daughters who came back specially to visit.Seeing her husband chasing after her, she turned her head and scolded viciously: "Cruel-hearted and unlucky, I have broken up with you, why are you chasing me?" After finishing speaking, a white light pierced through the sky and flew straight up into the dark clouds, disappearing for a moment.When Xiao Zhen chased to the platform, she was gone.Xiao Yi didn't cry a few times, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lian also jumped out from the window, crying and shouting.Xiao Yi was afraid that they would catch the cold when they came out of the house, and seeing that there was no response from the air, he guessed that Ouyang Shuang hated him for being ruthless, so he was already gnashing his teeth in despair.Just as he was about to tell his children to go back, he suddenly heard Xiao Zhen shout: "Father, what do you think that is?" Xiao Yi followed his finger to look, and it turned out to be the white light just now, flashing under the peak like a silver snake, He was flying slowly towards Wanqiu's house, not as fast as when he was ascending just now, his heart moved, and he thought to himself: "Wanqiu is his wife's rival in love, all kinds of things happened in the past few days, and the scene when his wife committed suicide are mutually confirmed. After a detailed analysis, the beloved wife was wronged and wronged. It seems that Wanqiu hides grievances and conspires against her. If she goes there, she will either take revenge or seek her to reason. Seeing that Bai Guang is not walking fast, it is clear that she wants to chase after herself, and find out the truth. To wash away her grievances, why don't you go?" It's just that the snow is deep and extremely cold, and it's impossible to bring your children with you.Seeing that Bai Guang moved more slowly, it became more and more likely that he was treating each other with care.Fortunately, Xiao Zhen didn't see her mother riding the light soaring, so she hurriedly coaxed the three little brothers and sisters: "The white light below, maybe it's some treasure that travels at night, I'll catch it for you. Your mother hates me, and won't go into the house to see each other , you can’t see me anymore. Since she came to eavesdrop under the window, she must love you. As soon as I leave, maybe she will come again. Dear children, please don’t go away!” Xiao Zhen was old and had expected Nai's mother refused to meet because of Nai's father, and she remembered the words of the immortals in the past, and heard that the words were just right.Immediately, he responded enthusiastically, one by one in each hand, pulling his siblings, and ran into the house, not paying attention to the white light of any treasure.Xiao Yi coaxed his sons and daughters well, not to mention being negligent, raised his breath hastily, and went straight to use the kung fu of Treading Xue Wuhen, vertically down the peak, and Fei Ye seemed to chase after the white light.

Bai Guang was flying very slowly at first, but he walked around the Tian'an forest where there were no people. Even if there were people in the distance, because they were all worshiping the gods and paying New Year's greetings, no one was alert and looked out.Xiao Yi followed behind and chased for a while, seeing that he had caught up with Cui's house and was about to catch up, Fang Zai was overjoyed, the white light suddenly accelerated and flew towards the remote place on the back cliff.Xiao Yi was reluctant to give up, and the white light flew faster and faster, chasing it for more than ten miles.The white light flashes like a rainbow, and shoots straight to the foot of the cliff at the end, disappearing at a glance.Just as Xiao Yi wanted to shout out in a hurry, he suddenly remembered that the place where the white light fell was the Yajiao village cemetery and coffin, and there were villagers guarding it in turn, so Erniang's coffin was parked there, because it was freezing in the cold, and the ground had not yet been broken for burial.Erniang is also the one who conspired in this, but she is kind and kind to her children. Could it be that my beloved wife, seeing that she died pitifully, led me to come here and use the magic technique of the fairy family to bring her back to life, so that she could testify and tell the truth, so as not to have conflicts with herself? Can't meet?The more I thought about it, the more I was right, and I still chased after him.

That place is two or three miles away from the tomb forest.Estimated on the way, Erniang must have come out of the coffin to be rescued.If you arrive early, you may be able to break into the house and meet with your wife when your beloved wife has not been rescued, or when you cannot leave without finishing your sentence.At that time, the soles of his feet were strengthened, and he galloped fiercely on the several feet deep snow.I was anxious and had a long way to go, and finally rushed into the forest, and saw the tomb in the mourning house, the lights were hidden, and the sound of someone crying faintly leaked out.Taking a closer look, it was the place where Erniang stopped her spirit.Knowing that the hut where the tomb guards live is still in front, and it is late at night, even though there are ever-burning lights in the coffin, they are all placed under the coffin, and there is no light from the outside, especially no one will come here in the middle of the night.It is expected that my beloved wife is saving someone, and before she leaves, I can't help my heart beating wildly, and I take a long step towards the door.As soon as his feet landed, the door was ajar, his gaze was everywhere, and there was a shadow of a woman in the gap in the door.In desperation and excitement, he didn't even have time to pay attention to it, and shouted: "Sister Shuang!" The sound was so loud that someone pushed it with his hand, and he had already rushed in through the door.In the room, a man and a woman were packing up the food. In the middle of the night, they suddenly heard a strange cry, followed by a black shadow and flew in through the door. Suddenly, three new dead people stopped in this row of houses among the graves on the ground. Within that time, everyone suspected that the ghost came here to manifest their souls, and they all screamed in fright, and almost fell to the ground. Xiao Yi stood up and took a look, there was no shadow of Ouyang Shuang.Moreover, the spiritual coffins in the house belonged to Cui Wenhe, Wanqiu's husband, and Xiao Yuan. There were two coffins in total, not Erniang's coffin, which was still in the compartment.The man and the woman were the tomb attendants that night, the family servants of the Cui family, Jin Fu and his wife, who lived together with their grandfather.Shocked, seeing that the person who came in was the village owner, not a ghost, he hurried forward to salute.Xiao Yi saw that his husband and wife were both trembling with fright, and asked them why they were here late at night on New Year's Eve.As soon as Jin Fu said it, he knew it.It turns out that when Wenhe died, Wanqiu wanted to wait for his funeral.One article and the will before death, do not allow the dead to stay at home, and urge early burial; the other is that the houses in the village are all scattered, there is no whole courtyard, and everything is equipped with public facilities. According to the village rules, the dead cannot be killed unless the whole village agrees After staying at home for seven days, when he thought about this matter, he had to ask Xiao Yi for advice again, and he was unwilling; moreover, Yao Xian stood aside and tried his best to stop him.I had no choice but to stop in the mourning house, cook my own food every day, and go to watch the mourning and cry for a funeral.It is the Cui family servant who is on duty.The snow is deep and secluded, and after Wanqiu lost her husband, she excused her illness and thanked the guests. Most of the villagers didn't know about it.On New Year's Eve that night, Wanqiu held a banquet and went to the funeral to pay homage. He got up early in the morning and cried for a whole day.Offering food and food, weeping and talking about family affairs, silently expressing thoughts, causing regrets, just like usual, it is almost too much.The most important things die as things live, and things die as things survive.I only hate the seven-foot coffin, where people lie down for a long time, the cold wind is bleak, and there is no sound or cough.Thinking back to the time when the boudoir was close to the knees, there were shadows and shadows, and the autumn moon and spring flowers were full of joy.I don't want a loving couple who have been loving for more than ten years, once they become Pengshan, they will only win piles of wax tears and empty incense sticks.Looking at the wine Leng Xiangning, still intact.There is a gap between heaven and earth.There is nowhere to look for the sound and appearance of the long road. How has a drop ever reached Jiuquan.Occasionally looking back at the past, looking at the past with the present, and comparing each other, because of the extreme sadness in front of me, I feel that the quarrels and disobediences of the past have become the ultimate joy that cannot be regained.I also thought that the disaster has already happened, the crime is my own, and the husband who is kind and righteous has no choice but to kill it by himself.Especially when this man is on the verge of death, he still holds his hand warmly, speaks softly and comforts him, and tells him to caress his beloved daughter. Not a single bit of resentment.Although the incident was quite irritating at the beginning, but because of their suspicion and jealousy, their love became deeper and deeper.Later, when he saw that he had fainted to the ground, he immediately expressed his anger and anger. Although the doubts did not disappear, he turned to forgive him, admitting that he had been coerced by others, and he had no choice but to stop blaming each other with a single word; So light is the mother.Seeing how affectionate Xiao Yi is to his wife, he suddenly fell into his own slander, and immediately turned his eyes against each other. He couldn't tell the difference, and he was determined to put her to death.From this point of view, how can there be such a kind and righteous husband as Wen He in the world?According to what happened to the ghost that night, you will know it after death, and explain it before you die, regardless of whether you believe it or not.It's just the crime of killing my husband, and I can't redeem myself.Even if you can escape the ghosts, what's the fun in stealing your life?The more I think about it, the more heartbroken I am. There is no more cruel injustice in the world than Si.Like this lingering life, being reprimanded by conscience every day, terrified of committing crimes, and guilty of gods, it would be better to end up living like this, die for your husband, revisit old love, and seek ghosts together, it is a joy.Helpless love daughter can not let go.Before the husband was alive, he said, "My sister will raise her daughter, match her with a good son-in-law, and take my Cui's cigarettes, otherwise she will be a ghost and ignore you", which made life and death a dilemma.At that time, I had no choice but to bear the pain with sorrow and grit my teeth.Thinking of the sad place, I couldn't help but fainted in pain.After Yaoxian cried and saved her life, she cried and persuaded her husband and wife with Jinfu again and again, only then did she realize that since her husband takes cigarettes as a memory, the ancestors in the family offer sacrifices, which is absolutely indispensable.Only then did the mother and daughter withdraw their tears and go back.On the way home, he talked about the cause and effect of this matter with Nainv, and hated Xiao Yi even more. Jin Fu has been with his master since he was a child, and Wen He is very kind, and he has been a hermit for three generations, and he treats each other as brothers of the same generation when they meet. Jin Fu and his wife are very grateful.After Wanqiu left, it was already night, and he was asked to wait in front of the spirit for a while before removing the offerings.As expected, Jin Fu was obedient and stayed on guard until midnight before withdrawing his confession.Thinking of the old master's kindness, Fang was weeping, but he was shocked when he didn't want Xiao Yi to barge in.Briefly talk about the mourning and mourning of Wanqiu's daily sacrifices, and then ask the village owner why he came here late at night?It's inconvenient for Xiao Yi to say it clearly, he had already looked into the second room where Erniang's coffin rested, it was deserted and there was no sign.Hearing the words, Fang wanted to cover it up with words, but suddenly thought that his beloved wife was not saving Erniang, why did she lure me far away?As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly hit an idea, I didn't have time to say more, I only said a few words: "Don't tell people that I am here, we will talk about the details when we meet in the next year." At the end of the sentence, the person was already outside the door, and the flight seemed to return. rush to. There is no need to make a detour on the way home, although it is relatively fast, but even if you are light, you have to walk for a long time before you arrive.Just flew up the peak, walked to the platform, and heard the laughter of the children in the room, knowing what to expect, and thought to himself: "Since she moved me so far away, it can be seen that she has a deep hatred, and she will never let me meet. Daring Reckless intrusion, but scared her away, even the children can't see her for a while; if you don't go in, you can't bear it." Thinking of nothing, I had to hold my breath, walk lightly, and close to the window, Seeing the broken window just now, it has been covered with a quilt.Looking in through the window, Ouyang Shuang, his beloved wife whom he had dreamed of for many years, was sitting indoors with his two young children on his knees.Xiao Zhen stood with her chest on her back.The four of them were huddled together, crying and laughing, talking about the past.Wearing a Taoist attire, with a single sword in her back, her beloved wife is heroic and looks like she is out of the world. Compared with Fengshen back then, she is much more beautiful.I couldn't help my heart beating wildly, feeling sour, and I couldn't tell whether it was surprise, joy or sadness.Fang wanted to cover the door of the room, and while she was holding her son and daughter, she rushed in at the door, hugged her tightly, and let her kneel down to beg her, feeling his affection, or hoping that it might happen.Suddenly I heard Ouyang Shuang say: "Your father and I are bound to each other. As soon as he comes back, I will leave immediately. In this life, I will never meet this ruthless and unkind person. Don't be sad, my dear children. I will come to visit you at some time. When I was young, I would tell him that he is very knowledgeable, and I will come to teach you Taoism and swordsmanship every now and then. If he gets entangled and makes me anxious, Even the three of you go to Daxiongling together, so that he can't even see his children, don't blame me for being cruel." After saying that, he hated it. Xiao Yi was shocked when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "My beloved wife has become a sword fairy, and her flight has disappeared. How can manpower stop her? Hearing her tone so resolute, she rushed into the house and couldn't hold her alone. The day we meet again. It’s better to peep through the window, one is to let her mother and son reunite for a while, and the other is to find out her heart and the truth of being wronged.” Thinking of this, I dare not move rashly, still peeking through the window, meditating Listen to it.I only heard Xiao Zhen ask: "Since Mom said that this matter was slandered by a traitor's trick, it can be seen that Dad was also tricked by someone. Because he and Mom are so good on weekdays, he was so angry that he was going crazy. At that time, although he wished he could fight Mom desperately, It can be seen that after my mother left, my father was anxious and sad that night. First, he suffered from a serious illness. He called out my mother's name in his sleep, and almost wanted to die. Later, he suspected death and lived through it for the past few years. My father and us Brothers and sisters, almost every day shed tears twice a day. Mom forbids us to avenge our mother, yet we hate our father so much, isn’t it just taking advantage of our enemies and hating our own people instead?” Ouyang Shuang sighed: "My son reads a lot, so we know that grief is greater than death. Murder is forgivable, but it is unreasonable. A few days before your mother was wronged, your father had already changed his appearance after being slandered, always frowning and angry. , angry. It’s ridiculous that I still think of the wicked woman as a good sister, all in a dream. Since your father suspects that I am wrong, you should clearly ask, how can this disaster happen? Because the matter is so important, I am afraid It's wrong, it hurts the love between husband and wife, secretly observes the truth, hides it and doesn't reveal it. He is not a fool. Could it be that he can't see any flaws when he sets up a trap? Don't you say that he got married because of listening to two wives whispering? Suspicion? He and Mrs. Cui's family are old acquaintances, brother and sister, so it's not easy to interrogate them? Besides, they have already stated that his wife is having an affair, so why can't they bear it? If you have to bear it, you should endure it, and simply distinguish the truth from the truth. Fake, then deal with it. Just by digging out a pair of old shoes, regardless of indiscriminateness, you will put me and your uncle to death. I don't want any relationship between husband and wife. Although he didn't kill himself in the end, it still depends on the separation of children. On. He is self-willed by nature and can't be separated. The enemy is well-rounded, and once your uncle leaves, there will be no proof of death. How will I live my life in the future? Only once I die, can I understand my heart. I hate that bitch Wanqiu has already My husband, sister and brother were killed and fled. They were still not satisfied. After the plan was completed, they came to spy outside the house. Fearing that Lei Erniang would rush out to call for help, threatened and lured her, hid my suicide note, and knocked her down. Your father is a fool I only know that I am in a hurry, and I am vainly clever on weekdays. I have always been fooled by ghosts, and I can't see the slightest flaw. Until this woman feared that the second mother would let her go, and killed her with Xiao Yuan's thief husband and wife, I still don't understand. You say it's annoying Angry? Erniang is a good person after all. She was lured by others at the time, which was the second most important thing. She really cherished her life and was afraid of death. This is human nature, so you can't blame her. Listening to what you said about her situation, I must be regretful. It's a pity that her life is over. It should be that these three men and women have not received retribution. I came back a few days late, and this happened. You didn't know that your mother was so cruel and miserable at that time. My heart is broken for your father. What's more, I have already worshiped the immortal master to learn the Taoism, and the fate of the world was broken early, and there is no reason for reunion. It's okay like me, but I have only suffered a day and a night of injustice. When I went to the bamboo garden, I was hanged as soon as I went to the bamboo garden. The fairy master passed by in the air, heard the sound of crying, rescued him to Daxiongling, and immediately ascended to the fairyland, turning misfortunes into blessings. Your father was so lucky, but he fulfilled me. The most pitiful thing is that your uncle was confused and ran for his life with injustice, and did not go out of the mountain , was blocked by the heavy snow, fell in the freezing snow, was rescued by a demon, forced to become a disciple, and suffered a lot. One day, he was about to cover him with fur and horns, turn a man into a beast, relying on his wit, pretending to agree, and taking the opportunity to escape Go out. The demon is sober, and he searched the mountains with his method. He must be captured and killed. He hid in a big tree hole, starved for three days, and dared not go out. Finally, he met a senior sword fairy Wanli Feihong of the Emei Sect. Tong Yuanqi passed by there, saw that the demon was restrained, and found him and rescued him. But he refused to accept apprentices, and begged repeatedly, before writing a letter ordering him to go to Daxue Mountain to learn from his master. It was only last month that I was able to meet you again. It was all caused by the three dogs and men and women. At this time, I am avenging them, but it is not difficult to repay them. It is only because the old dog is dead, and the Cui family's thieves caused the husband and wife to separate. end yourselfShe was also suspected by her husband, and was fooled by a wronged ghost, and had a fight with her husband.She is usually a loving couple, so of course she regrets and hates, ashamed and sad.I am even more afraid that the wronged soul will take his life, something will happen, he will attract material criticism from the outside, and he will feel guilty about the gods.Anyway, she and the old bitch are also unable to escape the murder of ghosts. I just let them suffer enough by themselves. Wouldn't it be better to watch a joke? " Brother and sister Xiao Zhen knelt down and begged again: "Daddy was angry for a while. All these years, when would one day not regret and cry bitterly, looking forward to Mom's return, if it wasn't for Daddy's anger, why would Mom become a fairy? Mom just If you don't reconcile with dad, don't miss seeing each other! Don't look at it, don't look at it, for the sake of your children, let dad meet!" Ouyang Shuang knew that Xiao Yi had returned, and these words were intended to Hearing it, he doesn't know the pain of his husband's lovesickness.One is that he hates him for being ruthless, and he will be cruel if he doesn't find out the truth; the other is that he has entered the Tao and can no longer be drawn by the world to hinder his cultivation.After finishing speaking, he pretended to be angry and said: "I have made up my mind, if I talk too much, I won't come back next time." The three little brothers and sisters were so frightened that they burst into tears and did not dare to speak.Ouyang Shuang looked pitiful, and comforted them: "Don't be afraid, my dear children, as long as you listen to me, I will come back to visit you often. When I was young, tell your foolish father, if you know I'm coming, run away quickly, lest You can't learn the skills, and you can't even see your mother. My hatred, there is no need for others to repay it. There will be a time when the law of heaven is clear and you will suffer on your own. I wanted to stay a little longer, but he was lured away by me just now. It's time to come back. I will come to visit you around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. I'm really careless. In such a windy, snowy and cold weather, the windows were smashed, and they didn't fix them, so they ran outside and left you. How can I endure it at a young age? I'm sorry for this, what else is there to say? I'm too lazy to meet him, it's useless to make people disgusted, I have to go." The three little brothers and sisters couldn't help being sad when they heard the words, and they didn't dare to cry, knowing that they couldn't stay, they raised their heads and said with tears in their eyes: "Mom, can you come back earlier and make an agreement with the master to stay at home for a few days?" Huh?" Ouyang Shuang saw that her beloved son was so sexually admiring and clinging to her knees, she was even more heartbroken, couldn't help but her eyes turned red, hugged the three little brothers and sisters tightly together, and said: "Your mother is now born, it stands to reason Thoughts are all empty, because I can't let you go, I can't prove the superior merit, and I have to go through another kalpa in the future, so how can I waste my Taoism for the world? I have told my ancestors that I will come to teach you in a few days Heart method. Although it is difficult to meet day and night for the time being, in the future I will learn swordsmanship and have a Daoist foundation. After visiting the ancestors at the Kuzhu Temple in Daxiongling with me, I can fly freely and travel between the two places at will. I will see each other often. Why are you sad?" The three little brothers and sisters still wanted to stay for a while, waiting for their father to turn around before leaving.In fact, Ouyang Shuang knew her husband's return a long time ago, and her words were all meant to be a song.As soon as I finished speaking, I was eager to go back to the mountain, and I was willing to stay there.Then he kissed each of the three little brothers and sisters, let go of each of them, and said, "I still need to do some small things here, or I need to take a look at what the village has become after I have been here. The master only allowed half a day." I have to go back to the mountain to receive training tomorrow morning, and I can’t stay any longer.” After saying that, he shouted: “My dear children, be good, practice hard, Mom is gone!” Immediately, a ray of light came out through the window.San Xiao shouted anxiously: "Mom!" He lifted the quilt on the broken window, and saw Naifu standing under the window, ignoring the call, and followed after him.Run up the platform, look up and down, there is no white light shadow. Xiao Yi first listened to his wife's words, and knew that she was tough on the outside and on the inside, and she was very stubborn.Hearing that she was going to leave, even though she was reluctant to part with her, in order to protect her children and hope that she would come again, not only did she not dare to force her way through the window, but she avoided it.Because the white light flew away this time, it went out flat, as if flying down the peak; I also heard from my beloved wife that there were still things to do in the village, and I suspected that she had hidden her children from her, and she was looking for enemies to settle accounts. Come back, the woman's heart is soft, since the kindness of mother and child, there is also the righteousness of husband and wife. Sooner or later, you can always be sincerely touched. It is not beautiful to act too hastily, and the anger will change. At this time, don't say it is inconvenient to follow and get in the way. It seems that this flight disappeared, I can’t catch her.” Seeing her children chasing after her, she rushed there, persuaded her to enter the house, and fixed the broken window first, while persuading: “My dear children, don’t cry, your mother is a fairy. Come on, it won't be fake, not to mention teaching you the Tao, so that your mother and son will see each other for a long time." After that, he asked Ouyang Shuang about the scene when he came and what he said, and he really didn't want to because of deep hatred and resentment. When I met myself, I was reluctant to let go of my three children, so I specially led myself to a distance, relying on the speed of flying, and then flew back, met my children, told the past in detail, and said that I saw Wanqiu receiving retribution on the way, Kneeling and praying to the sky, beating himself in regret and regret, looking extremely sad.Then the truth came to light, Xiao Yikong regretted himself, it was too late.Thinking of a perfect happy and happy family, who was almost ruined by Wanqiu, and the injustice was so tragic, I couldn't help gnashing my teeth and hating it to the bone.I wanted to go to her to make a theory, so as to avenge the grievance of the second mother, to clarify her crime.One is that his beloved wife repeatedly told his children not to avenge this revenge, and he had to let him die; the other is that although he is the village head and holds the power of life and death, after all, he has gone through three generations since he entered the mountain, and the village has never severely punished one person.It's not good for Wanqiu, but he is a close relative. Besides, his family is poor and poor, with only one daughter, and he killed his own husband by mistake. He suffered a terrible disaster, his conscience suffered a lot, and he has already received retribution; if he publicizes his crime again, Wanqiu's temperament will be arrogant It is a female Yaoxian who has a motherly style. If she goes away, the girl will be innocent, but if she stays, she will be revenged, and disasters will never end.After much deliberation, it is still the best policy to follow what my beloved wife said and not to say anything.Not to mention Xiao Yuan's death, even the Wei family stopped because of his fear. After thinking about it for a while, all the servants who took a nap at the back at midnight got up, brought wash water and two bowls of New Year's food, and came to invite Xiao Yi to change his clothes before going to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the ancestors.Xiao Yi didn't have the heart to eat, he just washed up and went to change clothes.On the contrary, the three little brothers and sisters, mother and son reunited, had hope, even though wept at parting, they all put away their sadness afterwards and were elated, counting on their mother's return and their future cultivation of immortality and Taoism.Seeing that it was served earlier, it was just when the stomach was hungry, so one person brought a bowl of lotus seed soup to eat, and then asked for boiled rice noodles, and served rice noodles with watery bean drums and a bag of stewed vegetables.Xiao Yi hurriedly changed his clothes and went out, Xiao Zhen shouted: "Dad, it's cold, Dad doesn't eat sweets, this rice noodles are steamed smooth, they are cooked with fat hen soup, there are bamboo shoots fried shredded pork as simmered rice, put some Spinach, and the newly opened water bean drum and stewed vegetables are really delicious, why don’t you eat a big bowl while it’s hot before leaving?” Before Xiao Yi could answer, he suddenly heard someone from the foot of the peak rushing on the snow and onto the platform.Then there was the sound of a woman's footsteps, she approached the room, where the door curtain opened, a person entered, pointed at Xiao Yi and said two words "you", and sat on the spring stool by the door, panting endlessly.When Xiao Yi saw that it was Wan Qiu, he couldn't help feeling angry, thought about it, and held it back.Seeing that the servant was still in the room, he hurriedly paid her out with an excuse, and asked, "Biao Sis Cui, why are you here at this time? What's the matter in such a hurry?" Wan Qiu walked in hurriedly, not seeing that Xiao Yi's expression had changed. After a big change, I saw that he was wearing god-worshiping clothes, buttoning the buttons, calm as usual, and something unexpected happened, I thought: "It's okay to cover up." I couldn't help but thought of another way of saying, and replied: "Brother, do you know how to express Is sister-in-law still alive?" Xiao Yi just shook his head, sighed, and said nothing.The three little brothers and sisters met enemies and were extremely jealous. They all stopped their chopsticks, secretly clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, ready to go.畹秋连日悲悔过度，神志已昏，也是死催的，该当自取其辱。萧逸的心意既未猜透，又因他小兄妹怀抱中看他们长大，仍当做小孩看待，忘了他家传本领，仍接着往下说道：“不但表嫂健在，连她那位过继的表弟，也同在一起呢。”萧逸父子闻言，怒已不可遏止。畹秋全神却只贯注一人，仍然未觉，见他面有怒容，错认作勾起前恨，又信了欧阳霜决不与丈夫相见的话，不知机密尽泄，暗幸得计，仍冷笑道：“我先也不知她回来。只因我家使女见你从我门外亡命跑过，我知你有病，不甚放心，想来看看。走近峰前，忽想起大除夕里，怎好往人家去？回身走不几步，便见林内两条人影一闪，一个好似她那姓吴的兄弟。当时还没看清，便被他躲去。我想他怎会回来的？想追去看时，女的业已现身，正是表嫂，将我拦住，不许入林。我说你想她得很，好好请她回来。谁知她倒生了气，说是与你恩断义绝，永无重圆之日。我问她：'那样你又回来作甚？'几句话一不投机，便动了手。可怜我丧病余生，哪打得过她这样在外苦练多年，回来找事的人啊！还算饶我，已经被她打倒，未下毒手，只痛骂了几句，便追她兄弟去了。他们既然一同回来，又这样隐隐藏藏，不肯和你见面，这是什么心思呢？天下事难说，我既知道，也不管你新年忌讳不忌讳，特地来说一声，好叫你留点神。” 萧逸怒火内蕴，听畹秋语无伦次，心想：“人既归来，事已败露，不比当初一死一走，无法对证，仍用这等巧语中伤，有何用处？”方怪她这人愚不至此，旁边三小兄妹早已按捺不住。萧珍刚才立起，萧琏、萧璇早先从座上悄悄溜下，一齐喝道：“打死你这个不要脸的翻精婆！你害我娘跟舅舅和雷二娘的命，今天也要你的命！”声到人到，萧珍人大手快，手起一掌，打向畹秋脸上。同时萧琏平地纵起，双手紧勒畹秋头颈，两膝盖连脚尖用足全力，照定背上，乱打乱踢。萧璇更狠，见畹秋挨了哥哥一巴掌，起身用右手抵挡，头颈又吃妹妹束住，恐她回左手去抓，伸手照准畹秋脉门，用力一斫。跟着纵身，一头向胸前猛顶上去，嘭的一声，顶个正准。三人年纪虽小，个个力大，手疾眼快。畹秋骤不及防，身刚站起，猛觉颈间似受铁箍，气闭不出。接着腰背连中几下，奇痛，手被打麻，胸前再受一顶，休说招架不及，哪里还存身得住，立被撞倒。身方一歪，萧珍恶狠狠上去，照准腿弯，又是一脚。畹秋气透不过，连“哎呀”一声也未喊出，横倒地上。萧逸见状大惊，连声喝止。萧珍虽然忿忿而住，两个小的却报仇心切，竟立志拼命，置若罔闻，拉解不开。 萧逸见畹秋被束住要害，两眼翻白，无力抗拒，小孩心狠，久必毙命，又恐伤爱子，不忍强解，喝道：“不听我话，也不听你妈话么？再如这样，看你妈肯再回来才怪！”这几句话，真比圣旨还灵，两小立时纵开，同了萧珍，齐指畹秋大骂。萧逸连喝了好几声，方行停止。畹秋忿怒已极，略住喘息，指着萧逸骂道：“你纵子行凶，少时祠堂碰头，再凭诸位长老，和你评理！”萧逸冷笑一声道：“你莫忙走，我还有话问呢。” 萧珍兄妹母仇在念，恨不能生裂畹秋，才称心意，虽被父亲喝住，兀自忿怒填膺，不能自已。一听不让她走，早一同抢上前去，摆开招势，把门一拦。萧珍首先喝道：“我爹爹不准你走，敢动一步，今天替我妈报仇，要你的命！”畹秋挨打时，虽然有些惊疑，因萧逸没有露出口风，打她的又是三个小孩，怒火头上，竟忘了东窗事发。耳听萧逸唤住，并未答理，只冷笑了一声，还欲反唇相讥，仍自走去。及被萧珍兄妹一拦，方听出口气不对。又见三个小孩都在摩拳擦掌，怒眼圆睁，似欲拼命之状，不禁激灵灵打了个冷战。适才吃过苦头，哪里还敢逞强，当时气馁心虚，刚往后退几步，又听萧珍戟指怒喝道：“爹爹快问她为何要害妈妈和雷二娘？到底与她有何仇恨，要下那样狠心毒手？”这两句话一出口，畹秋心里叫苦不迭，暗忖：“以前之事，算是欧阳霜这贱婢自己回来说的。二娘之死，人不知，鬼不觉，况又过了好些天，他父子如何知晓？”自从文和死后，畹秋终日悔恨哀痛，精神体力受创太重，人已失常，再一着这样大的急，猛觉头晕眼花，立脚不住。还算为人机智，瞥见身侧有一春凳，连忙装作气忿，就势坐下。知道这事非同小可，今日如若辩白不清，萧逸的地位为人，和他平日夫妻恩爱之厚，不特自己转眼身败名裂，连那年纪轻轻的爱女，也难在此立足。念头转罢，偷眼一看，萧逸目闪威光，怒容满面，正在注视自己。忙把心神勉强镇静，脸上仍装出忿怒的神气，向萧逸道：“你纵子行凶，全不管教。我从来没有做过错事，有甚话问，只管请说。” 萧逸见她仍装作无事人一般，越发气忿，忍怒说道：“珍儿的话，你没听见么？”畹秋也怒道：“我又不是聋子，怎会听不见？你问的也是这几句无知乳臭小儿话么？她死与我什么相干，问我作甚？有什么话，少时祠堂凭众位长老尊亲再谈好了，此时恕不奉答。”萧珍兄妹闻言，怒冲冲又要上前动手。萧逸再三喝止，指着畹秋道：“你休以为阴险狡诈，诡计慎秘，你做的事，又是支使党羽出面，自己只在暗中运筹，连句坏话都没向我说过，可以强辩。须知天网恢恢，疏而不漏。害人适以福人，结果反倒害了自己。前些日刚把二娘害死，报应便已临头。你以为死无对证，殊不知做你对证的，就是那已死的人。事到如今，还在欺我。我一时中你奸计，伤了夫妻情爱，霜妹不肯和我相见。你又再使阴谋离间，血口喷人。霜妹不论是否真与鸿弟同来，你既见着她，可知她在被屈含冤，写下遗书，交于二娘，前往竹园自尽之时，得遇仙人垂救，带往仙山，如今精通道法，事尽前知，飞行绝迹，无异真仙了么？适才她归视儿女，虽计前嫌，不允我与她相见，但她所受奇冤及你与萧元夫妻三人种种倒行逆施，阴谋诡计，俱已完全败露。 “我们原是至亲，素无冤仇。就说婚姻之事，各有前缘。霜妹彼时寄人篱下，她自认身世寒微孤苦，日受你的磨折欺凌。她虽然真心相许，一往情深，见面时始终发情止礼。因怕受你闲气，独存世俗门第之见，不敢期望，从没对我吐露情愫。我因敬她爱她，执意非她不娶，事由我主，与她何干？谁知你破坏不成，转而匿怨相交，阳奉阴违，多年处心积虑，誓欲置之死地。她为人忠厚，遂陷入罗网。如非仙师怜救，几乎害得她夫子离散，身遭屈死，犹含不白之奇冤。这些话，在你饰词强辩，必道是她归来巧语，我听了她一面之词。须知我糊涂中计，也只一时。雷二娘因受你挟制，被你骗去遗书，做了亏心之事，近年来日受天良责备，望空咄咄，神魂颠倒，死前已在神前自吐供状，道出阴谋，被我亲耳听去。彼时不知霜妹存亡，正待晚来设祭之后，背人细询详情，便被你赶来将她勒死。在你以为装作鬼迷，死后高吊，设计巧毒，却忘了做贼心虚。二娘殓时，左足袜子已脱，所穿之鞋也不知去向。我那晚为了子女日后无人照料，心情烦躁，又因男女之嫌，更兼死状甚惨，不曾近前加细查看，几乎又被你的奸谋瞒过。文和、萧元相次一死，你我这样至亲，村中尽有良医，萧元不说，你夫妻往日何等恩爱，竟会事前毫无闻知，随后探问，也没有延医诊治，突然病终。你又是那等悔恨，现于辞色，诸多可疑。因事太巧，无意中询问安殓二娘的女婢，说起前事。如今旧鞋尚在，落的一只，曾往园内吊尸一带发掘未见。我估量必是你们勒死她时，匆匆拖往大竹之下，遗落雪地，后来雪大盖没。等过几日，天晴雪化，鞋一发现，便可断定八九。彼时再集村众，我自做原告，推出长老拷问魏氏。那贱人虽然凶狠刁毒，却不如你机智性傲，决易吐实。昔日霜妹旧鞋，本命她弃入江中，她夫妇恩将仇报，承你意旨，却借以为谋害栽赃之计。只可恨我当日眼睛心昏，忘却你平日既称和霜妹情如手足，她如有甚过失，纵不明加规劝，也应代为隐瞒。 “况且你和魏氏气味迥异，人品悬差，同是妇女，如有背人的话，尽可室内密谈，何须跑到林内挨近人行路旁，鬼鬼祟祟，交头接耳？再者，那天又是你的生日，客未散尽，别人家事，却要主人如此着急，背客出外私谈。分明有心陷害，知我归途必由之路，故露身形，引我生疑，好来上套。等我疑念已深，再把旧鞋之事发作，我又鬼蒙了心，为爱之过深，遂操之太切。只顾发怒，全没想到鸿弟所居，是我过去的书房，连他峰上旧居，均我夫妻亲手布置。来时身无长物，衣被均属新置，几曾见那口箱子，到底先存何处，有无转手，何人送还，打开也未？如真是个私情表记，怎敢放在开箱即见的明显入目之处，取时也不留意？被我发现，他还如未觉，还在房中相助牵纸磨墨？还有你既然索他的窗课，开时势必目注箱内，才是常理。你和元贼都把眼看别处，到手又只匆匆一看，便即放下。你已知他做那禽兽之事，还执意要看他的窗课作甚？在在均是疑窦。可恨我身同鬼迷，均未思索考查，反幸你二人没有觉察此事，勉强代写完春联。等你二人功成归去，便去房中，与霜妹拼命。可怜她姊弟做梦也不知道有狗男女日夕伺侧陷害。平日人又爱好高，只为回来时一念之差，误中奸计，不和村人招呼，便把鸿弟带来，恐外姓人入村，违了村规，不能收容，假说同宗骨肉。事后怕我埋怨，又未明说，日久不好意思改口，我问时又一次比一次负气。她虽如此，万想不到我会上了人家圈套，以为夫妻恩爱，似此小事，不肯输口。这一倔强，致我疑念更深，正在怒火头上，适逢鸿弟进来，她更不合救护情切，只顾防我毒手伤害，却忘了增加自己不利。这固是她有此仙缘，才有这场几乎身死名辱的无妄之灾，否则岂不被你们这三个狼心狗肺的狗男女害得冤沉海底？ “她失踪之日，我原算计必有遗言遗书。又因平日二娘为人忠厚善良，过于信任，不知她受了你的挟制。照我所说，哪一样都是你们破绽，我竟该死，糊涂已极，迟至二娘死的那天起，才行逐渐省悟。照你三人这等行为，本应会集村人，当众审讯，明正其罪，一一用酷刑处死，始足蔽辜。我因霜妹再三告诫珍儿，令转告我，说你三人害之适以福之，不有当初，哪有今日。况你三人，一个身为鬼戮，中途暴毙；一个也终于不膺显戮，必受冥诛；你系主谋，遭报更重，不特害人未成，反倒成全了人家，尤其是误杀亲夫，躬被弑夫之恶。当你所害对头成仙归来，夫妻子女完聚之日，正是你离鸾寡鹄，奸谋败露之日。你又平素好强，从未受人褒贬，轻为人下，一旦内疚神明，外惭清议，日受良心责备，冤魂牵缠，人间大恶至惨，集于一身。两两相形，情何以堪？这等使你自作自受，长年消受人间生不如死的苦痛，不报之报，岂不比报还强？ “我又念在文和表哥是忠厚好人，至情所钟，却娶了你这样一个奸恶之妇，方在盛年，竟遭横死；姑母又门衰祚薄，崔、黄两家，只有瑶仙一女。我如将你正了村规，瑶仙必难在此立足。她小小年纪出山，前途何堪设想？因此留你一命，自受活罪。我不往祠堂凭诸长老向你理论，你还敢大言不惭。休说人证齐全，你赖不掉；单把文和开棺验尸，治你弑夫之罪，试问还有路无有？趁早回去，从此休来见我，安安分分，静候冤魂索命，以待冥诛，免得把你女儿也带累得同遭惨报。那魏氏贱妇，我原也饶她不得，因遵霜妹之语，又念她那两子尚属美质，覆巢之下，难得完卵，为存二房宗嗣，她又没亲手杀人，受害者业已获福，天理虽所难容，我这里却从未减。你只告诉她，莫再见我好了。话已说完，从此情断义绝。我命珍儿们手下留情，不来伤你，急速去吧。” 萧逸蓄忿太深，悔恨切骨，这一席话，说得丝毫不留余地。说到中间，虽见畹秋面容惨变，体战身摇，仍一口气把话说完。畹秋自持机智，敢于隐恶。当晚原因守墓仆人见村主突去突来，言语失次，又听他思妻成病，以为两家至戚至好，连夜前往报信讨好。畹秋心中有病，老大不安，赶来探看。行至中途，忽想起天光过子，已交新正元日，丧服未除，怎好到人家去？正要回转，恰好欧阳霜为奉师命，在村中访查一事，见畹秋雪中急行，故意老远按落剑光，步行上前相见。欧阳霜被仙人救去一节，连萧逸都是疑信参半，畹秋自更不知就里。但因欧阳霜死后，村人曾遍搜全村，连全村数十里周围深山穷谷之中，无一处不搜索到，直到雪晴多日，并未发现尸首和半点痕迹。那几日雪势虽大，欧阳姊弟俱有一身好武功，难保不在临死以前借命，想起兄弟出走未久，或者没有走远，忽然变计，回到厨房内取些吃食，连夜追踪欧阳鸿逃出山去。姊弟二人途中巧遇，一同逃往他乡，等到子女长大，再行回村报复前仇。村人尽管穷搜，一则村外山深险僻，未必能真搜索到，没有遗漏之处。二则二人成心逃亡，若被人在一处寻回，岂不更为自己坐实了奸情？即使遇上，也是望影而逃，见人先躲，如何能寻得到？心总料她尚在人间，没有葬身雪里。复令萧元夫妻又借采办为名，顺便前往她的故乡，加细查访，虽然她姊弟二人依然一个未归，毫无音信，始终疑念未释。只恨出事那晚，略微疏忽，只顾叮嘱雷二娘，诈出遗书，料她此去必死，防被看出生变，没有暗地跟踪探看。后来几次想要向二娘盘问底细：欧阳霜走前除托孤外，可有甚别的言语举动？带甚东西在身上无有？走的那晚，可曾索要食物？厨房内又曾少什么吃食？谁知雷二娘当时虽受了挟制，面上常带着后悔神气，不容发问，见面至多假意寒暄两句，即行避去，后来更是避若蛇蝎，至死未得盘问，心里老是一块病，一见欧阳霜跑来，便知平日所料一点不差，并没疑她鬼魂出现。忙把心神镇静，不等开口，故作失惊，问道：“霜妹，你这些年到哪里去了？你真狠心，没的把我们几个人想死。可曾见过萧表哥么？” 欧阳霜毕竟心直
