Chapter 4 The third time life is worse than death

It's a very good thing for a person to faint in time, but it's a pity that people who faint will always wake up. When Tian Sisi woke up this time, she felt less comfortable and happy than last time. The place where she slept was no longer the fragrant, warm and soft bed, but the smelly, cold, and hard stone. She heard neither her own heartbeat nor the soft breathing. What she heard were groans that were more miserable than crying. There was a person curled up in the corner, and the gloomy light shone on her. The pink robe she was wearing had been completely torn, revealing pieces of bruised and swollen skin and flesh, many places had begun to bleed slowly.

Just as Tian Sisi thought this robe looked familiar, she immediately thought of the girl who "had been greatly stimulated", the girl who had been persuaded by Sister Mei to go back to the house. She wanted to stand up, only to realize that she couldn't even stand up, she couldn't even feel the pain, and her body seemed to be completely numb. She just struggled and crawled over. The girl suddenly raised her head and stared at her, her eyes were full of red threads, like a beast that had been tortured madly. Tian Sisi was taken aback. It was not the eyes, but the face that surprised her.

When she saw this girl during the day, this face still looked so beautiful and delicate, but now it is completely distorted, completely deformed, the nose has been knocked out two inches, the corners of the eyes and mouth are still bleeding, This face already looked like a smashed watermelon. Tian Si wanted to cry, but also wanted to vomit. She wanted to hold back, but her stomach had shrunk like a bow, and finally she couldn't help but spit it out. What I spit out is sour water, bitter water. But the girl could only look at her coldly, her eyes suddenly became indescribably indifferent and empty, there was no more pain or fear.

When she finished vomiting, the girl suddenly said: "Ms. Wang wants me to ask you a question." Tian Sisi said: "She wants you...to ask me?" The girl said: "She wants me to ask you, do you want to become like me?" Her voice was also completely emotionless, it didn't sound like she was making it. No one could imagine that she would ask such a sentence. But it was she who was asking. Asking this sentence from her mouth is more terrifying than Aunt Wang asking herself. Tian Sisi said: "You...how did you become like this?" The girl said: "Because I don't listen to Mrs. Wang, if you follow me, you will become like me."

Her voice was indifferent and flat, as if she was describing someone else's experience. Her person seemed to have become a talking machine. A man becomes like this only when the pain has reached its zenith, when the fear has reached its limit, only when there is utter despair. When Tian Sisi saw her, she understood what fear was all about. She suddenly fell on the ground and cried bitterly. She was also almost completely hopeless. The girl still looked at her coldly, and said coldly, "Have you already agreed?" Tian Sisi pulled her hair hard, and hissed, "I don't know...I don't know..."

The girl said lightly: "If you don't know, you agree. You should have agreed." She turned her face away, fell on the ground, never moved again, never said a word. Tian Sisi suddenly rushed over, threw herself on her body, and said, "Why don't you talk anymore?" The girl said: "I have finished my words." Tian Sisi said: "Why don't you try to escape?" The girl said: "There is no way." Tian Sisi pulled her hair hard, and said loudly: "There must be a way, you can't wait to die like this!" The girl's head was pulled up, looking at Tian Sisi, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said, "Why can't I wait to die? I'm much luckier than you to die, and sooner or later you will know that death is not It's terrible, the terrible thing is that you can't even die."

Tian Sisi's hand slowly loosened. Her hands are cold. She let go of her hand, and the girl lowered her head again, still lying on the ground, as if she never wanted to see anyone or anything in this world. Is life really so boring? Tian Sisi gritted her teeth and stood up. She vowed to live on, no matter what, she would live on! She will never die! A torch made of pine branches burned on the wall. The torches were nearly burnt out, and the flames were gloomy. The gloomy firelight was reflected on the dark walls, which were made of stone. Huge stones, each weighing at least two or three hundred catties.

Where is the door? There is no door in sight. There is only one small window. The windows are at least four or five feet above the ground, and less than two feet wide. The room is so tall and the windows are so small. Tian Sisi knew that she would never be able to jump up, but she was still determined to try. She jumped up with all her might. she falls. So she climbs. There is a crack between each stone, and she pushed hard on the crack and slowly climbed up. Her hands were bleeding, rough stones, sharp as knives. Blood dripped from her fingers, and pain penetrated her heart. She fell again, harder.

But she no longer shed tears. It is a wonderful thing indeed—when a man bleeds, he often stops crying. She was determined to try again, to try until she died. But at this moment, she suddenly found a rope hanging down from the window. Someone is saving her! Who is saving her?Why save her? She didn't even think about it because she didn't have time to think about it. She pushed the girl awake and told her to look at the rope. The girl looked up and said lightly, "I don't want to leave, I'd rather die." Just glanced at it, and only said such a sentence. Tian Sisi stomped her feet, grabbed the rope with all her strength, and climbed up.

Her slender body just happened to be able to get out of the window. No one was outside the window, and the rope was tied to a tree opposite the window. The wind blows the leaves, making a whistling sound, and there is no one on the tree, and the lights are far away. Tian Sisi climbed over and slid down the tree trunk. It is equally dark on all sides, by which way can I escape? She didn't know, and couldn't choose. Facing her was a forest of flowers, she didn't know what kind of flowers it was, but the smell of flowers was very fragrant. So she just ducked in. Soon she heard music on the wind and saw lights ahead.

Gentle light shines through the windows, with snow-white window paper and carved panes. The sound of music makes the light more gentle!There was a burst of laughter like silver bells in the music. Back off?Or go around behind this house? Tian Sisi hid behind a tree, not knowing which way to choose, the music suddenly stopped, and the two walked out of the house slowly. Seeing these two people, Tian Sisi's breathing also stopped. The one on the left is graceful and graceful, smiling like a flower, it is Aunt Wang. The person on the right is tall and tall, handsome and unrestrained, and he is the second master of "Mengchang in the Central Plains" Tian Baishitian who is generous and spends money. The very famous guest Mrs. Wang mentioned turned out to be him. Tian Sisi never dreamed that she would see her father at such a time and in such a place. She could hardly help crying out with joy. She didn't bark.Because at this time, two more people walked out of the house behind her father. These two people are old and young. The old one was short and fat, with a round face, very little hair and beard, and a long sword hanging from his waist, which was almost twice as long as his own.Makes him look ridiculous. The younger one seemed even shorter and fatter than the old one, making it all the more ridiculous. It is always ridiculous for a young man to get fat. He is either too delicious, or too lazy, either too lazy, or too stupid, or sleeps too much, or thinks too little. Maybe he has a little bit of all these together. Tian Sisi recognized the old one as her father's good friend, Mr. Yang from Daming Mansion. What about the younger one? Could it be that he is Yang Sanye's precious son Yang Fan? "Did Daddy want me to marry him?" Tian Sisi blushed with anger, she would rather marry the groom Wang Daguang than this pig. She was determined not to see her father. "Aren't I going to laugh to death when I run out like this?" She would rather be ashamed in front of anyone than in front of this pig. Aunt Wang was smiling and said: "It's so late, why should Second Lord Tian go? Why don't you just rest here?" Second Master Tian shook his head and said, "No, I have something urgent and I need to find someone." Aunt Wang said: "But I don't know who the second master Tian is looking for? Maybe I can help... There are the most people coming and going here, and the eyelids are very messy." Tian Erye smiled and said: "You will never find this person, she will never come to this kind of place." He suddenly sighed, and continued: "Actually, I don't know where I can find it." She, but I have traveled all over the world, and I must find her..." What he was looking for was, of course, his most beloved only daughter. Tian Sisi's throat was suddenly blocked. Only now did she know that only her father in the world really cared about her and loved her. This was enough, she didn't care about anything else. She was about to rush out, desperate to rush out, into her father's arms. As long as she can rush into her father's arms, everything can be solved immediately. Her father will definitely take revenge for her and express this anger for her. It's a pity she didn't rush out. At this moment, suddenly a hand stretched out from behind her and covered her mouth. This hand is so thick, so big, and so strong. Tian Sisi's mouth was covered by this hand, not only could she not scream, she couldn't even breathe. Of course the man had two hands. He put his other arm around Tian Sisi, and Tian Sisi couldn't even move. She could only kick back with her feet, kicking the man's legs like kicking a stone. The harder she kicked, the more painful her feet became. Like catching a chicken, the man lifted her up and stepped back. Tian Sisi could only watch helplessly, getting farther and farther away from her father, and finally couldn't even see it—maybe she would never see it again. When she shed tears, the man turned and ran out. His strides are so big, each step is at least five feet, and he has run out of the flower forest in the blink of an eye. It was also very dark outside the forest. The man kept walking, ran forward along the corner, turned around three times, and suddenly ran into a stone house. The stone house is also very tall and large, and there is only one bed, one table, and one chair inside. The bed was horribly big, and the table and chairs were horribly big. A chair is almost larger than an ordinary table, and a table is almost larger than an ordinary bed. The man closed the door behind his back and put Tian Sisi on the bed. Only then did Tian Sisi see his face. Almost immediately she was about to pass out again. This man is not human at all, but an orangutan, the same orangutan that Mrs. Wang wanted to find to rape her. Although his face still has a human shape, it is full of hairs. Although the hairs are not too long, each strand is several inches long. It is better when he is not smiling, but when he smiles, the hairs all over his face move. Even in nightmares, I wouldn't see that appearance. He is laughing now, looking at Tian Sisi and smiling. Tian Sisi's bone marrow was so cold that he jumped up with all his strength and punched him on the nose. She heard that the softest part of an orangutan's body is the nose. She can't hit it. The man just waved his hand, as if chasing away mosquitoes, Tian Sisi had already been knocked down. She would rather be beaten to death, but she is still alive and well. When she was alive, she had to look at this man. Although she didn't want to look at him, she didn't dare to look at him, but she had to look at him. The man was still laughing, and suddenly said: "You don't have to be afraid of me, I'm here to save you." What he said was actually human, but the voice didn't quite sound like a human's. Tian Sisi gritted her teeth and said, "You... you came to save me?" The man smiled again, and touched something out of his bosom. What he took out was a loop of rope, and it turned out to be the same rope that hung Tian Sisi out of the window. Tian Sisi was taken aback, and said, "You put down that rope?" The man nodded and said, "Who else is there besides me?" Tian Sisi was even more surprised: "Why did you save me?" The man said: "Because you are very cute, I like you very much." Tian Sisi's body immediately shrank again, into a ball. She saw the man's hairy hand reach out again, as if wanting to touch her. She immediately yelled with all her strength, "Get out! Get out of the way, as long as you touch me, I will die!" The man retracted his hand and said, "Are you afraid of me? Why are you afraid of me?" There was a look of pain in his eyes hidden in the long hair. It made him suddenly seem human. But Tian Sisi was even more frightened, so frightened that she wanted to vomit. The nicer this person is to her, the more it makes her want to vomit, she can't wait to die. The man said again: "Although I'm ugly, I'm not a bad person, and I really don't have any malice towards you, I just want to..." Tian Sisi hissed, "What do you want?" The man lowered his head and muttered, "I don't want to do anything, as long as I can see you, I will be very happy." He looked like a terrible beast, but in a moment he became a poor beast. Tian Sisi stared at him. She no longer felt that this man was scary, she just felt sick, sick to death. She blinked suddenly and said, "What's your name?" When she asked this sentence, she obviously regarded him as a person. There was an ecstasy in his mouth, and he said, "Qiqi, my name is Qiqi." "Qiqi", what kind of name is this? No one would have chosen such a name. Tian Sisi probed and asked, "Are you human?" When she asked this sentence, she also felt very nervous, wondering if this person would be irritated? Qiqi's eyes were filled with anger immediately, but after a while, he lowered his head again and said sadly: "Of course I am a human being, just like you. I became what I am today because of Aunt Wang's harm." .” A man who is willing to answer such questions obediently is never a very dangerous man. Tian Sisi was more confident, and asked again: "How did he harm you?" Qiqi clenched her huge palm tightly, and her joints rattled. After a long time, she murmured: "Blood, poison, blood...she gives me blood mixed with poison every day, and she wants to turn me into a wild beast." , so that I can scare people for her." He raised his head and looked at Tian Sisi, his eyes full of pity.Said: "But I'm still a person... She can change my appearance, but she can't change my heart." Tian Sisi said: "Do you hate her?" Qiqi didn't answer, and there was no need to answer. His hands clenched even tighter, as if he was pinching Aunt Wang's neck. Tian Sisi said: "Since you hate her, why don't you try to kill her?" Qiqi's body shrank suddenly, and even his clenched fists were shaking. Tian Sisi sneered and said, "So you are afraid of her." Qiqi gritted his teeth and said, "She's not a human...she's really a beast." Tian Sisi said: "Since you are so afraid of her, why do you dare to save me?" Qiqi said: "Because... Gangwei I like you." Tian Sisi bit her lip and said, "If you really treat me well, you should kill her for me." Kiki shook his head, desperately. Tian Sisi said: "Even if you don't dare to kill her, you should at least let me go." Qiqi shook his head again, and said: "No, you can't escape by yourself no matter what." Tian Sisi sneered, and said: "Even if you are a person, you are still a worthless person. No one likes such a person." Qiqi blushed, suddenly raised her head, and said loudly, "But I can help you escape." Tian Sisi said: "Really?" Qi Qi said: "Although I am a human being, I am not like others who can tell lies." Tian Sisi said: "But I can't go alone." Qiqi said: "Why?" Tian Sisi said: "I still have a younger sister, I can't leave her here." She blinked again and said: "If you rescue her, maybe I will treat you well." Qiqi's eyes showed ecstasy again, and said, "What kind of person is she?" Tian Sisi said: "She is a good-looking girl with a small mouth, but it is often pouted very high. Her name is Tian Xin." Qi Qi said: "Okay, I'll go find her——I will definitely rescue her." Before he finished speaking, he had already walked to the door, and suddenly turned his head, looked at Tian Sisi, and said in a stammering way: "You ...Will you go?" Tian Sisi said: "No, I will wait for you." Qiqi rushed back suddenly, knelt down in front of her, kissed her feet, and then rushed out full of ecstasy. As soon as he rushed out, Tian Sisi's whole body softened, looking at her foot that had been kissed by him, she wished to chop off this foot. Even she herself didn't know how she could have said those words just now. She would vomit just thinking about it. Suddenly one person sneered and said: "Unexpectedly, Miss Tian would choose such a person out of thousands of choices. She really has a very discerning eye, and her vision is really good." Tian Sisi raised her head, only to realize that Mr. Ge had sat on the window sill at some point. He sat there motionless, as if he himself had become part of the window. It seemed that he had been sitting there before the window was finished. Tian Sisi's face was already flushed, and she said loudly, "What did you say?" Mr. Ge said lightly: "I said he likes you very much, and you seem to treat him well. You are really a match made in heaven." There is a large teapot on the table. Tian Sisi suddenly jumped up, grabbed the teapot, and threw it hard at him. Mr. Ge didn't seem to notice it at all, and waited for the teapot to fly in front of him before he blew lightly. The teapot suddenly turned around, flew back slowly, and landed on the table smoothly, just at the same place as before. Tian Sisi stared straight: "Could this person know magic?" If this is considered martial arts, not only has she never seen it, she has never even heard of it. Mr. Ge still had no expression on his face, and said: "I have always liked the beauty of adults. Since you are a natural couple, I will definitely ask Mrs. Wang to betroth you to him." You should know that Aunt Wang has always listened to me." Tian Sisi couldn't help but yelled, "You can't do that." Mr. Ge said coldly: "I want to do this, how can you stop me?" Just as Tian Sisi stood up, she fell down again, and her whole body began to tremble again. She knew that as long as a person like Mr. Ge could say it, he would definitely be able to do it. She suddenly slammed her head against the wall. The wall is made of stones, if you bump into it, not only will your head be bleeding, one head may turn into two or three heads. She would rather be killed. She didn't crash to death, and when she bumped into it, the wall made of stones suddenly became limp. She fell on her back, only to realize that the head hit Mr. Ge's stomach. Mr. Ge stood there against the wall, as if he had become a part of the wall again. Before the wall was finished, he seemed to be standing there. He stood motionless, his face still full. Expressionless, said: "Even if you don't want to, you don't have to die." Tian Sisi gritted her teeth, tears were about to flow down again. Mr. Ge said: "If you really don't want to marry him, I have a solution." Tian Sisi couldn't help asking: "What method?" Mr. Ge said: "Kill him..." Tian Sisi was startled, and said, "Kill him?" Mr. Ge said: "No one can force you to marry a dead man, can they?" Tian Sisi said: "I...can I kill him?" Mr. Ge said: "Of course you can, because he likes you, so you can kill him." What he said was really interesting. "A woman can only hurt you when you are in love with her." Most women only hurt the man who really loves her. Tian Sisi lowered her head and looked at her hands. Suddenly there was a knife beside her hand. Knife out of sheath. The color of the knife is very strange, it is pink, like a girl's cheek. Mr. Ge said: "This is a very good knife. It can not only blow hair and cut hair, but also seal the throat when it sees blood." He continued slowly: "Every good knife has a name, and the name of this knife is Woman. .” The name of the knife is "Woman", which is indeed a very strange name. Tian Sisi couldn't help asking: "Why is it called a woman?" Mr. Ge said: "Because it is as fast as a woman's mouth and as poisonous as a woman's heart. It is the best thing to use this knife to kill a man who likes you." Tian Sisi stretched out her hand, wanting to get the knife, but retracted it again. Mr. Ge said: "He's coming back soon, marry him or kill him, it's up to you, I won't force you..." Speaking of the last sentence, his voice seemed far away. Tian Sisi raised her head, only to realize that this devilish person had disappeared. He is indeed like a devil. Because he only seduced, not forced. For a woman, temptation is always more irresistible than force. Tian Sisi stretched out her hand again, then retracted it. It wasn't until the sound of footsteps outside the door that she grabbed the knife and hid it behind her back. Kiki has rushed in. He came back alone, and when he saw Tian Sisi, his eyes immediately filled with ecstasy, he walked over cheering, and said: "You really didn't leave, you really were waiting for me." Tian Sisi avoided his gaze and said, "Where is Tian Xin?" Qi Qi said: "I can't find her because..." Tian Sisi didn't let him finish his sentence. The knife in her hand had pierced his chest, pierced his heart. Qiqi was stunned, and suddenly shot furiously, grabbed Tian Sisi's throat, and shouted: "Why did you kill me?... What did I do wrong?" Tian Sisi couldn't answer, it couldn't move. As long as Kiki's fingers are a little bit harder, her neck will snap like a straw. She was petrified. She knew that Qiqi would never let her go this time, and no one would let her go! Unexpectedly, Qiqi's hand was slowly loosened. The anger in his eyes also slowly disappeared, leaving only sadness and pain, the pain of despair. He stared at Tian Sisi and murmured: "You should really kill me, I don't blame you...I don't blame you..." "I don't blame you." He said these four words over and over again, his voice gradually weakened, his face gradually distorted, and his eyes gradually turned dead gray. He fell slowly. When he fell down, his eyes were still focused on Tian Sisi, he struggled, and said word by word: "I didn't find your friend because she had already escaped...but I did, and I never lied to you. " After saying this, he died, and he died peacefully, because he did not deceive others, nor did he do anything wrong to others, and he died with a clear conscience. Tian Sisi stood there blankly, and suddenly found that her clothes were soaked through. "I don't blame you...I don't blame you..." He did not. But she lied to him, used him, and killed him. What did he do wrong? "Chi" the ground knife fell and landed on the ground. What about tears? Why haven't the tears shed yet?Is there no more tears to shed? Suddenly someone said: "Do you know that he could kill you at any time just now?" Mr. Ge did not know when he came back again. Tian Sisi didn't look at him, and said blankly, "I know." Mr. Ge said: "He didn't kill you because he really loves you, and you can kill him because he really loves you." His voice seemed to be far away, and he continued slowly: "He loves you, this is his love. The only thing that went wrong." Is he really wrong? It is indeed a terrible mistake for a person to fall in love with someone he should not love. This mistake is simply unforgivable! But Tian Sisi's tears suddenly flowed down. She never thought that she would shed tears for such a person, but her tears have flowed. Then she suddenly heard Sister Mei's gentle and considerate voice, and said softly: "Go back, the guests have already gone, Aunt Wang is waiting for you, go back quickly!" Hearing the name "Aunt Wang", Tian Sisi seemed to have been whipped suddenly. She immediately shrank back and said in a trembling voice, "I won't go back." Sister Mei's smile was still so gentle and friendly, and she said, "What if you don't go back? Do you want me to carry you back?" Tian Sisi said: "Please, let me go..." Sister Mei said: "You can't leave, since you've come here, no one can leave." Mr. Ge suddenly said: "If you really want to leave, I have a way." Tian Sisi was ecstatic, and asked: "What method?" She knew that Mr. Ge's method must be very effective. Mr. Ge said: "As long as you promise me one thing, I will let you go." Tian Sisi said: "What do you promise?" Mr. Ge said: "Promise to marry me." Sister Mei chuckled and said, "Mr. Ge must be joking." Mr. Ge said lightly: "Do you really think I'm joking?" Sister Mei smiled reluctantly, and said, "Even if Mr. Ge agrees, I can't agree." Mr. Ge said: "Then I have no choice but to kill you." Sister Mei was still laughing, and smiled more forcefully, and said, "But Aunt Wang..." Hearing the name "Aunt Wang" again, Tian Sisi gritted her teeth suddenly and said loudly, "I promise you!" As soon as these four words were finished, sister Mei had already collapsed. She is still laughing. Wrinkles formed around the corners of her eyes and cheeks when she smiled. Blood slowly flowed down the wrinkles on her face. Her gentle and friendly smiling face suddenly became more terrifying than a ghost. Tian Sisi chattered her teeth and turned her head slowly. Mr. Ge disappeared again. She couldn't care less about anything else, and without taking a second look, she rushed out the door. The front is a corner. There is actually a small door in the corner. The door was actually open. Tian Sisi rushed out. She didn't look at anything, didn't think about anything, just kept running forward. The night is very deep. It was dark on all sides. She couldn't see anything at all. But as soon as she stopped, Mr. Ge's gloomy, cold, expressionless face seemed to appear in the darkness. It seems that she can only keep running, she can't tell the way, and she can't tell the direction. She kept running until she fell down. She finally fell down. Where she fell, there seemed to be a stone monument. As soon as she fell down, she heard a cold voice saying, "Are you here? I'm waiting for you." This was clearly Mr. Ge's voice. Mr. Ge had already sat on the stele at some point, as if he was a part of the stele. Before the stele was erected, he seemed to be sitting here. He sat motionless, with no expression on his face. This is not an illusion, this is indeed Mr. Ge. Tian Sisi almost went crazy with fright, and lost her voice: "You wait for me? Why are you waiting for me?" Mr. Ge said, "I have something to ask you." Tian Sisi said: "Wh...what do you say?" Mr. Ge said, "When do you plan to marry me?" Tian Sisi yelled, "Who said I want to marry you?" Mr. Ge said: "You said it yourself, you have already promised me." Tian Sisi said: "I didn't say anything, I didn't agree..." She yelled and ran out again. Fear inspired the last bit of potential in her body. She ran out in one breath, and ran far, far before she dared to turn back. There was darkness behind him, but Mr. Ge didn't come after him. Tian Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt that she could no longer hold on, and fell down again. The place where she fell this time was a slope. Involuntarily, she rolled down the slope and into a deep cave. Is it a rabbit hole?Is it a fox den?Is it a snake nest? Tian Sisi didn't care about it at all, neither fox nor snake was as scary as Mr. Ge. He is simply more cunning than a fox and more terrifying than a poisonous snake. Tian Sisi prayed to God wholeheartedly, as long as Mr. Ge didn't show up again, no matter what she was asked to do, she would be willing to do anything and never complain. Her prayers seemed to work. After a long time, Mr. Ge did not show up. The stars have faded away. The night is drawing to a close, and the day is finally drawing to a close. Tian Sisi let out a long breath, and suddenly felt that his whole body seemed to have collapsed. She couldn't help but ask herself: "What did I do this day?" This day seemed to be longer than the eighteen years she had lived before. On this day, she had lied to others, and she had also been lied to. She even killed someone. The people who lied to her were all she trusted, and everyone she trusted lied to her. The only person who never lied to her, and the only person who treated her well, was killed by her. Only then did she understand that the good and evil in a person's heart must never be judged by appearance. "What exactly did I do?" "What kind of person am I?" Tian Sisi only felt that her heart was throbbing, her whole body throbbing, as if an invisible whip was whipping her non-stop. "Is this life? Isn't this life?" "Does a person have to live like this?" She doubts, she doesn't understand. She doesn't understand that there are many unfair things and unfair sufferings in life. Only when you can accept it can you truly be considered a person. To live, one has to endure. Another meaning of endurance is struggle! Continue to endure, that is, to continue to struggle, otherwise your life will be meaningless. Because life is born in suffering! The stars are even thinner, and the east seems to have dawned. Tian Sisi suddenly felt that she had grown a lot. No matter what she has done, no matter whether she is right or wrong, she has finally experienced the true meaning of life. Even if she did something wrong, she deserves to be forgiven, because what she did was not what she wanted to do. She didn't live in vain this day. She had indeed grown so much that she was no longer a child. She is already a woman, indeed a woman, and there will never be a shortage of women in this world. She lived for eighteen years, and until today, she truly felt her own existence. She has her own share of the joys and pains of this world. Whether it is joy or pain, she has to accept it, she must accept it. Dawn has dawned in the East. Tian Sisi's eyes were hazy, and she tried to open them, but slowly closed them again. She was so tired, so weary. Although she knew she would never fall asleep here, she couldn't support it. Dimly, she seemed to hear someone calling: "Miss Tian, ​​Miss Tian..." Who is calling? The voice seemed familiar. Tian Sisi opened her eyes, the voice came closer, she stood up and poked her head out. Four people are coming here in a row, one is Iron Arm, one is Scar Lao Liu, one is Qian Yi, and the other is Boss Zhao. Seeing these four people, Tian Sisi became angry. If it weren't for these four bastards, how could she have fallen into this situation. But why did they come to her again?Do you still feel that you haven't cheated enough and want to cheat again? Tian Sisi jumped out, put her hands on her waist, and stared at them. She may be afraid of Mrs. Wang and Mr. Ge, but Miss Tian really doesn't pay attention to these four liars. After all, she is Tian Erye's daughter, after all, she defeated the big bodyguard from the capital. Her martial arts may not be as high as she imagined, but she still has a few tricks after all. When the four of them saw her, they didn't run away. Instead, they laughed and walked over in a row. Tian Sisi stared and said, "What do you want to do here?" Qian Yiyi's smiling face seemed the most natural, and he said with a smile, "I'm here to find Miss Tian." Tian Sisi sneered and said, "You still dare to come to me? You are really brave." Qian Yiyi suddenly knelt down and said, "The villain doesn't know the background of the eldest lady. I have offended you so much. I hope the eldest lady will forgive me." As soon as he knelt, the other three immediately knelt down as well. Boss Zhao put the two bundles on the ground, and said: "This bag is Miss Tian's jewelry, and this bag is seven hundred taels of silver, but I hope that Miss Tian will let the past go and take the bundles away. The little people will be very grateful." These people actually found out with conscience, and were willing to make such a grievance. Tian Sisi felt a little embarrassed instead. Embarrassed, but also a little proud, he said with a straight face: "Do you all know that you made a mistake?" The four of them laughed at the same time: "The little people know their mistakes, the little people deserve to die..." Tian Sisi's heart had already softened, and she was about to wake them up, but four big men knelt in front of her like this, after all, it wasn't very pretty. Unexpectedly, just as the four people said the word "death", a hole suddenly appeared on their foreheads. Blood flowed out of the hole immediately, slowly flowing down the wrinkles from their laughter. The eyes of the four were straight, their faces were stiff, and they neither shouted nor struggled. The eight eyes looked straight at Tian Sisi, and then suddenly fell down together. Tian Sisi was petrified again. She didn't see how the holes in the foreheads of these four people came from at all, but saw that the four smiling faces suddenly turned into four grimaces. Who killed them?What method was used? Tian Sisi suddenly remembered the situation when Sister Mei died, and her hands and feet were immediately icy cold. Mr. Ge! Tian Sisi yelled and turned around. There was no one behind, and a poplar was trembling in the cold dawn. She turned her head again, and Mr. Ge was standing behind the four corpses, looking at her coldly. The cotton shirt on his body looked like a dutiful son's sackcloth in the night. His face was still cold and expressionless, and he was still standing upright, motionless. He was like a dead man himself. Before these four people died, he seemed to be standing here. Tian Sisi was so frightened that she lost her voice and said, "You...what are you doing here?" Mr. Ge said lightly: "Let me ask you a question." Tian Sisi asked, "What are you asking?" Mr. Ge said, "When do you plan to marry me?" The same question, the same answer, almost no change in tone of voice. Tian Sisi herself didn't know how she could ask such a stupid question. She asked in a daze. Because she was too scared, too nervous, and she couldn't control herself at all. Mr. Ge said: "These four people are the ones I asked them to come here." Tian Sisi nodded desperately and said, "I...I know." Mr. Ge said: "Since they have returned the things to you, why don't you want them?" Tian Sisi was still nodding desperately, saying: "I don't want it, I don't want anything." She nodded and said no, her appearance was really pitiful and ridiculous. 葛先生目中虽没有怜悯之色，更没有笑意，淡淡道：“你不要，我要。”他收起包袱，又慢慢地接着道：“这就算你嫁妆的一部分吧。” 田思思又大叫，道：“你无论要什么，我都给你……我还有很多很多比这些更值钱的首饰，我会都给你，只求你莫要逼我嫁给你。” 葛先生冷冷道：“你一定要嫁给我，你答应过我的。” 田思思不由自主抬头看了他一眼。 她从没有正面看过他。 她不看也许还好些，这一看，全身都好像跌入冰窖里。 他脸上没有笑容，更没有血。 但他的脸却比那四个死人流血的笑脸还可怕。 田思思大叫道：“我没有答应你……我真的没有答应你……” 她大叫转身，飞奔而去。 她本来以为自己连一步路都走不动了，但这时却仿佛忽然又从魔鬼那里借来了力气，一口气又奔出了很远很远。 身后的风声不停地在响。 她回过头，偷偷瞟了一眼。 The wind is blowing.nobody. 葛先生这次居然还是没有追来。 他好像并不急着追，好像已算准田思思反正是跑不了的。 无论他有没有追来，无论他在哪里，他的影子已像恶鬼般地缠住了田思思。 田思思又倒下。 这次她是倒在大路旁。 乳白色的晨雾正烟一般袅娜自路上升起，四散。 烟雾缥缈中，远处隐隐传来了辘辘的车辆声，轻轻的马嘶声。 还有个人在低低的哼着小调。 田思思精神一振，挣扎着爬起，就看到一辆乌篷大车破雾而来。 赶车的是个白发苍苍的老头子。 田思思更放心了。 老头子好像总比年轻人靠得住些。 田思思招着手，道：“老爷子，能不能行个方便，载我一程，我一定会重重谢你的。” 老头子打了个呼哨，勒住抽绳，上上下下打量了田思思几眼，才慢吞吞地道：“不知姑娘要到哪里去？” Where to go? 这句话可真把田大小姐问住了。 go home? 这样子怎么能回家？就算爹爹不骂，别的人岂非也要笑掉大牙。 才出来一天，就变成了这副鬼样子，非但将东西全部丢得干干净净，连人都丢了一大个。 “田心这小鬼不知道是不是真的逃了。她本事倒比我还大些。” 去找田心吗？ 到哪里去找呢？她会逃到哪里去？ 若不回家，也不找田心，只有去江南。 她出来本就是为了要到江南去的。 但她只走了还不到两百里路，就已经变成了这样子，现在已囊空如洗，就凭她孤孤单单的一个人，就能到得了江南？ 田思思怔在路旁，眼泪几乎又要掉了下来。 老头子又上上下下打量了她一遍，忽然道：“姑娘你莫非遇着了强盗么？” 田思思点点头，她遇到的人也不知比强盗可怕多少倍。 老头子叹了口气，接着说道：“一个大姑娘家，本不该单身在外面走的，这年头人心已大变了，什么样的坏人都有……唉！”他又叹了口气，才接着道：“上车来吧，我好送你回家去。” 田思思垂着头，讷讷道：“我的家远得很。” 老头子道：“远得很，有多远？” 田思思道：“在江南。” 老头子怔了怔，苦笑道：“江南，那可就没法子送，怎么办呢？” 田思思眨眨眼，道：“却不知老爷子你本来要到哪里去？” 老头子满是皱纹的脸上，忽然露出了笑意，道：“我有个亲戚，今日办喜事，我是赶去喝喜酒的，所以根本没打算载客。” 田思思沉吟着，道：“我看这样吧，无论老爷子你要到哪里去，我都先跟着走一程再说，老爷子要去的地方到了，我就下车。” 她只想离开这见鬼的地方，离得越远越好。 老头子想了想，慨然道：“好，就这么办，姑娘既是落难的人，这趟车钱我非但不要，到了地头我还可以送姑娘点盘缠。” 田思思已感激得说不出话来。 这世上毕竟还是有好人的，她毕竟还是遇到了一个。 车子走了很久，摇摇晃晃的，老头子还在低低地哼着小调。 田思思朦朦胧胧的，已经快睡着了，她梦中仿佛又回到很小很小的时候，还躺在摇篮里，她的奶妈正在摇篮旁哼着催眠曲。 这梦多美、多甜。 只可惜无论多甜美的梦，也总有觉醒的时候。 田思思忽然被一阵爆竹声惊醒，才发觉车马早已停下。 老头子正在车门外瞧着她，看到她张开眼，才笑着道：“我亲戚家已到了，姑娘下车吧。” 田思思揉揉眼睛，从车门往外看过去。 外面是栋不算太小的砖头屋子，前面一大片晒谷场，四面都是麦子田，麦子长得正好，在阳光下灿烂着一片金黄。 几只鸡在晒谷场上又叫又跳，显然是被刚才的爆竹声吓着了。 屋子里里外外都贴着大红的双喜字，无论老的小的，每个人身上都穿着新衣服，透着一股喜气。 田思思心里却忽然泛起辛酸之意，她忽然觉得每个人都好像比她愉快得多，幸福得多。 尤其是那新娘子，今天一定更是喜欢得连心花都开了。 “我呢？我到什么时候才有这一天？” 田思思咬了咬嘴唇，跳下车，垂首道：“多谢老爷子，盘缠我是一定不敢要了，老爷子送我这一程，我……我已经感激不尽。” 说到后来，她声音已哽咽，几乎连话都说不下去。 老头子瞧着她，脸上露出同情之色，道：“姑娘你想到哪里去呢？” 田思思头垂得更低，道：“我……我有地方去，老爷子你不必替我担心。” 老头子长长叹息了一声，道：“我看这样吧，姑娘若没有什么急事，不如就在这里喝杯喜酒再走。” 他的话还没有说完，旁边就有人接着道：“是呀，姑娘既已到了这里，不喝杯喜酒，就是看不起我们乡下人了。” 又有人笑道：“何况我们正愁客人太少，连两桌都坐不满，姑娘若是肯赏光，那真是再好也没有了，快请进来吧。” 田思思这才发现屋子里已有很多人迎了出来，有两个头上载着金簪，腕上金镯子“叮叮当当”在响着的妇人，已过来拉住了田思思的手。 还有几个梳着辫子的孩子，在后面推着，乡下的热肠和好客，已在这几个人脸上表现了出来。 田思思心里忽然涌起一阵温暖之意，嘴里虽还在说着“那怎么好意思呢？”人已跟着他们走进了屋子。 外面又是“乒乒乓乓”的一阵爆竹声响起。 一对龙风花烛燃着火焰活活泼泼的，就像是孩子们的笑脸。 两张四四方方的八仙桌子，已摆满了一大碗一大碗的鸡鸭鱼肉，丰盛的食物，正象征着人们的欢乐与高兴。 生命中毕竟也有许许多多愉快的事，一个人纵然遇着些不幸，过着些苦难，也值得去忍受的。 只要他能忍受，就一定会得到报偿。 田思思忽然也觉得开心了起来，那些不幸的遭遇，仿佛已离她很远。 她被推上了左边一张桌子主客的座位，那老头子就坐在她身旁。 这张桌子只坐了五个人，她这才发现来喝酒的客人果然不多，除了她之外，彼此好像都是很熟的亲戚朋友。 每个人都在用好奇的眼光打量着她，她又不免觉得有些不安，忍不住悄悄地向老头子道：“我连一点礼都没有送，怎么好意思呢？” 老头子笑笑，道：“用不着，你用不着送礼。” 田思思道：“为什么我用不着送礼？” 老头子又笑笑，道：“这喜事本是临时决定的，大家都没有准备礼物。” 田思思道：“临时决定的？我听说乡下人成亲大多要准备很久，为什么……” 老头子打断她的话，道：“普通人家成亲当然要准备很久，但这门亲事却不同。” 田思思道：“有什么不同？” 老头子沉吟着道：“因为新郎倌和新娘子都有点特别。” 田思思越听越觉得有趣，忍不住又问道：“有什么特别？他们究竟是老爷子你的什么人？” 老头子笑道：“现在新郎倌就快出来了，你马上就可以看到他。” 田思思道：“新郎倌很快就会出来，那么新娘子呢？” 老头子笑得好像有点神秘，道：“新娘子已经在这屋里了。” 田思思道：“在这屋里？在哪里？” 她眼珠子四下转动，只见屋里除了她和这老头子外，只不过还有六七个人。 刚才拉她进来的那两个妇人，就坐在她对面，望着她嘻嘻地笑，笑得连脸上的粉都快掉下来了，这两人脸上擦的粉足有四五两。 越丑的人，粉擦得越多，看来这句话倒真是没有说错。 田思思暗暗地笑，她越看越觉得这两人丑，丑得要命，比较年轻的一个比老的更丑。 田思思悄悄道：“难道对面的那位就是新娘子？” 老头子摇摇头，也悄悄笑道：“那有这么丑的新娘子。” 田思思暗中替新郎倌松了口气，无论谁娶着这么样一位新娘子，准是上辈子缺了大德。 在她印象中，新娘子总是漂亮的，至少总该比别人漂亮些。 但这屋子最漂亮的一个就是这妇人了，另外一个长得虽顺眼些，但看年纪至少已经是好几个孩子的妈了。 田思思心里嘀咕，嘴里又忍不住道：“新娘子总不会是她吧。” 老头子笑道：“她已经可以做新娘子的祖奶奶了，怎么会是她。” 田思思道：“若不是她们，是谁呢？” 她虽然不敢瞪着眼睛四下去找，但眼角早已偷偷地四面打量过一遍，这屋里除了这两个妇人外，好像全都是男的。 她更奇怪，又道：“新娘子究竟在哪里，我怎么瞧不见？” 老头子笑道：“到时候她一定会让你看见的，现在连新郎倌都不急，你急什么？” 田思思脸红了红。憋了半天，还是憋不住，又道：“新娘子漂亮不漂亮？” 老头子笑得更神秘，道：“当然漂亮，而且是这屋子里最漂亮的一个。” 他眼睛又在上下地打量着田思思。 田思思脸更红了，刚垂下头，就看到一双新粉底官靴的脚从里面走出来，靴子上面，是一件大红色的状元袍。 新郎倌终于出来了。 这新郎倌又是个怎么样的人呢？是丑？还是俊？是年轻人？还是老头子？ 田思思想抬头去看看，又觉得有点不好意思。 她到底还是个没出嫁的大姑娘，而且和这家人又不熟。 谁知新郎倌的脚却向她走了过来，而且就停在她面前。 田思思刚觉得奇怪，忽然听到屋子里的人都在拍手。 有的还笑着道：“这两位倒真是郎才女貌，天成佳偶。” 又有人笑道：“新娘子长得又漂亮，又有福气，将来一定是多福多寿多孩子。” 田思思又用眼再去瞟，地上只有新郎倌的一双脚，却看不到新娘子的。 她忍不住悄悄拉了那老头子的衣角，悄悄道：“新娘子呢？” 老头子笑了笑，道：“新娘子就是你。” “新娘子就是我？” 田思思笑了，她觉得这老头子真会开玩笑，但刚笑出来，忽然又觉得有点不对，这玩笑开得好像未免太过火了些。 屋子里的人还在拍着手，笑笑道：“新娘子还不赶快站起来拜天地，新郎倌已经急得要入洞房了。” 新郎倌的一双脚，就像是钉在地上似的，动也不动。 田思思终于忍不住抬头瞧了一眼。 只瞧了一眼，她整个人就忽然僵硬，僵硬得像是块木头。 她的魂已又被吓飞了！ 新郎倌穿着大红的状元袍，全新的粉底靴，头上戴着花翎的乌纱帽，装束打扮，都和别的新郎倌没什么两样。 可是他的一张脸——天下绝对找不到第二张和他一样的脸来。 这简直不像是人的脸。 阴森森，冷冰冰的一张脸，全没有半点表情，死鱼般的一双眼睛里，也全没有半点表情。 他就这样动也不动地站着，瞬也不瞬地瞧着田思思。 田思思还没有出生的时候，他好像就已经站在这里了。 葛先生！ 这新郎倌赫然竟是葛先生！
