Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

Just when Mao Bijiang embarked on the road to Beijing, Dong Xiaowan was already looking forward to see through the attic in Suzhou.She stood in front of the window very early every day, looking at the official road that was hazy with smoke and willows, and in her hallucinations, she often saw Mr. Mao coming slowly on a white horse.She raised her hand a few times, and suddenly felt startled, then put her hand down again, looking behind her in embarrassment. Fortunately, Xixi wasn't upstairs. At this time, the south wind blows on the body and already feels a little hot.The peonies in the yard are also withered, and summer is coming silently from the sea here, but there is still no sign of Mao Pijiang.where is he?Is it just Luohua's intention?Is it ruthless again?

Dong Xiaowan stood in front of the window, the twilight outside the window, there were a few dim lights in the sky, each light was so lonely.She sighed leisurely, turned around, and looked at the jade pendant in her hand, facing the dim light of the candlestick, there was faintly warm body temperature on it. Dong Xiaowan asked Xixi to take out the book that was as thick as a book, which she bound and stapled herself. There were many poems written on it, each of which was heartbreaking, and they were all words of nostalgia. The words on the first few pages were still wet with tears. Mark of.When Xixi handed it to her, there were also some tears on her face. She was more sad than her sister.

Dong Xiaowan turned to a page at random, and it was a song "Butterfly Love Flowers: Nostalgia for the Past" written just a few days ago.A lonely person was drawn under the words, which Xixi said was the figure of a fake son.At this time, Xixi supported her chin with both hands, leaned on her lap, and listened to her sister read to herself softly: The fragrant boudoir hides the mist and the dawn wind goes away, the willows are light and the wind is light, and the blue sea mat is completely defeated. The afterglow of the next year is hard to stop, and the red at the bottom of the stage is self-contained.

You Xu is like snow resting with the rain, and the rain is shocking, and the young master is still drunk. The eyes are extremely yellow and the dust is dark, and the new branches are full of spring and the crows are talking. Xixi felt that there was a bit of crying in her sister's tone, and hurriedly turned another page, but it was a song "Traveling on Shasha · Caring for People": The world of mortals provokes the heart, and the falling leaves cover the way.There is no trick for the colorful flag to be covered with dust. At that time, I said goodbye to the person I love, and I don't know where the mountains are far away.

Tears are like dew, mountains are like fog.The setting sun hardly shines on the abyss tree. There are endless sorrows of coldness and separation, sending books out of thin air without geese. The meaning of mourning pierced the hearts of the two of them, and the tears couldn't help flowing out.Xixi broke down in tears, and turned another page, and there was another song "Linjiang Immortals: Caring for the Old Man": After the farewell, the heart is locked tightly, and Li Ren's eyebrows are lowered. The dream at the bottom of the flower seems to be startled by someone, the swing is empty, and the lonely butterfly flies freely.

The remnants of last year's spring hatred, this year's lovesickness is like ashes. Xixian complained secretly that she had regretted her love, and Luo Yi took the wind to go and win the son back. If I turn it down again, there are some fragments I just wrote last night, but the title is "Farewell": The monk under the moon knocked on the door on the other side of the wall. It was suspected that Lang had forgotten his old way. Peeping at the window in draped clothes, embarrassing and thinking about women. Looking at the mirror is dark and frightening, the beloved is lonely.

Autumn pools drenched in spring water, and Lang rode a sika deer. Dong Xiaowan's melancholy infected the whole family, everyone was worried, and it seemed that no one had a peaceful mind.The plants in the courtyard also hang their heads slightly in a human way. Aunt Chen turned her head to look at Dong Xiaowan who was staring at the building window.She muttered to herself: "Today, I must deliver some interesting news to make her happy." She went straight out the door. However, she brought back bad news.She hurried home and fastened the door, as if some ghost was about to break in.She yelled at Xixi: "Oh my god! Huo Hua and Dou Hu are back again."

Xi Xi, who was pruning flower branches, was startled when the scissors fell to the ground and made a loud noise.Dong Xiaowan suddenly woke up from the hallucination, she asked: "What happened?" The front of Dong's house was bustling again.This time, both Huo Hua and Dou Hu showed ferocious faces, instigating a group of prodigal sons, and they are bound to win Dong Xiaowan.It turned out that Huo Hua committed a murder and fled to Guangzhou to hide for a few months. The rumors were not too tight, and he heard that the prefect had changed. The new prefect pardoned a group of prisoners in order to show his generosity.Originally, Huo and Dou felt that they were not at home when they were away from home. After hearing the news, they quietly returned to Suzhou, sent someone to the magistrate, paid some silver taels, and invited a few arresters to drink, so they felt at ease.

Dong Min talked with the prodigal sons, but his family was short of money, and the bearded silver could not satisfy these drunkards, so the gang of prodigal sons tore off their skins, raised their hands and slapped him. After a buzzing in his head, the ceiling of the restaurant and the The lantern kept flipping, going up and down for a while, and he didn't realize that he had rolled down the stairs until he regained his composure.A group of prodigal sons were walking past him with a smile, and someone kicked him. His stomach felt uncomfortable, and he vomited out all the wine he had just drank.

Dong Min returned home with his face covered in blood.The members of Dong's family stayed behind closed doors and endured foul language from outside the wall every day.Just enduring these things, but those prodigal sons still threw in a lot of filth such as dead cats, dead dogs, broken shoes, rotten vegetables, dead mice, etc., making the whole yard smell of rancidity.As for the life of the Dong family, thanks to the help of Liu Erbang, a kind-hearted punter, they can barely get by. The prodigal sons saw that no one in the family dared to go out, but they were not trapped to death in the courtyard, so they resorted to viciousness and tried to break down the door of Dong's house.Hearing the rumbling sound of the courtyard door, Dong Xiaowan knew that this stalemate would not last for a few days, she was anxious, but there was nothing she could do, so she became overwhelmed and told everyone to throw those dirty things out, and simply provoke these prodigal sons to a big fight.Dong Min moved a few pieces of logs to the gate of the hospital. Aunt Chen, Shan Ma, and Xixi started together, throwing dead cats and dogs out of the gate.The prodigal sons outside the door did not expect this blow, they all dodged and lost their positions.It took a long time to gather again.This time, what they threw towards the yard were bricks and rocks. Several women fled into the room in fright. The sound of cracking bricks...

Suzhou is a place of wealth and honor, full of tourists, many of whom are rich and elegant.The two free-spirited scholars riding steeds obviously won't attract more attention.The two riders walked together, watching the scenery, chatting and laughing freely on the horseback, crossed the Tongqiao, and walked slowly towards Bantang.They came here for Dong Xiaowan. One was Fang Mizhi from Fushe, and the other was also a member of Fushe. Yu Lianhe is one of the rare people in the society who is versatile in both civil and military affairs. He was originally from the middle of Sichuan and stayed in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. His family's martial arts are also quite famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Fang Mizhi and Yu Lianhe saw many people chattering in front of a house from a distance, and felt that it was a disappointment. When they looked closely at the tourists around them, all of them also had faces locked, and suddenly felt a lot less leisurely and elegant. Fang Mizhi reined in his horse and asked an old man with Huafa: "Old man, what's going on with those people? It's ruined the scenery." "The guest officer doesn't know. These prodigal sons have been bullying others. They have been making trouble here for a long time, and the neighbors are restless!" "Why is no one interfering?" "Who can offend the Dou and Huo families? One is a wealthy squire, and the other is a relative of the head of state Tian Hongyu. They bully others." "There are such things." Yu Lianhe said angrily. Fang Mizhi clapped his palms with a folding fan, thinking: Could it be because of Dong Xiaowan?He asked again: "Why do those prodigal sons bully others?" "Guest officer, she is so beautiful. There is a beautiful woman in that family. Her life experience is bleak, and now she is facing such a thing. It's really tragic!" "Is it Dong Xiaowan?" "It's her. Does the guest officer recognize her?" Fang Mizhi's court Yu Lianhe said: "Quick!" He ignored the old man, clamped his legs, and the mount rushed straight away. Two horses rushed to the door, and the group of prodigal sons was carrying a big log and hit the courtyard door like monks striking a bell. The courtyard door was moaning and cracking, and it was about to burst.Fang Mizhi immediately yelled: "Stop!" The prodigal sons were taken aback, not expecting someone to intervene.Some let go, and the rest hurriedly let go, and those who threw slowly were hit by the wood on their legs, and they hugged their feet and jumped around in pain.Fang Mizhi and Yu Lianhe also jumped off their horses at this moment. The prodigal sons screamed angrily when they saw that they were two scholars from other places.A few of them rushed up and punched them.Yu Lianhe's figure flew up, muttering something.But seeing that he just whipped his sleeve left and right a few times, the prodigal sons rolled to the ground, those who could get up ran away, and those who couldn't get up cried on the ground.The rest knew that a hard role was coming, so they didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and retreated resentfully.But Dou was not convinced, he took the steel fork and threw it violently, the steel fork flew towards Yu Lianhe's chest through the air, but seeing Yu Lianhe smiled at the flying steel fork, the moment the steel fork flew towards him, he turned slightly sideways, He reached out and grabbed the steel fork in his hand.The prodigal sons froze for a moment, and there was no sound for a while, Dou was shaking like a sieve, trying to run but couldn't move his legs, urinating in his crotch, the urine leaked out of his robe, and dripped to the ground.Yu Lianhe sneered a few times, raised the steel fork with both hands and threw it at one of his legs, but heard a "click", and the steel fork broke in two.He swung the steel fork to the ground, the half with the fork stuck in the ground, and the half without the fork also stuck in the ground.The faces of all the prodigal sons are empty.Yu Lianhe yelled: "Get out of here!" Everyone ran away as if they had been ordered. Fang Mizhi clapped his palms happily and laughed loudly: "Brother Yu's martial arts skills are world-class, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved." Dong Min could see clearly from behind the door, while moving things behind the door, he said to Dong Xiaowan: "Here comes the rescue." Fang Mizhi and Yu Lianhe led their horses into the courtyard gate.Seeing that it was Mr. Fang, Dong Xiaowan cried aggrievedly, holding a kitchen knife in his hand.Standing behind her was Xi Xi holding two scissors, Shan Ma holding an axe, and Aunt Chen holding a hatchet.They were all ready to fight desperately after the gang of prodigal sons broke in.Seeing them like this, Fang Mizhi and Yu Lianhe knew how timely they had come, otherwise with these weak women, the consequences would be unimaginable! After everyone sighed and sighed for a while, Fang Mizhi and Yu Lianhe tied the horses to the tree, and then walked into the living room, but they had already brewed tea and brought them here. Dong Xiaowan rearranged her clothes and came downstairs to say Wanfu.Then he asked Fang Mizhi: "This young master..." "The surname is Yu Lianhe, a talented Bashu scholar, not only has a charming literary talent, but also has world-class martial arts. He is a rare gentleman in Fushe." Yu Lianhe felt that Dong Xiaowan really lived up to her reputation, she was charming and elegant, fresh and refined, she was really a strange woman. At that moment, the two greeted each other and met each other. "Mr. Fang," Dong Xiaowan asked impatiently, "So do you know the news about Mr. Fang?" "What? Mao Pijiang didn't come again?" Xixi interjected: "It was agreed to pick up my sister this spring, which made my sister lose weight, but she didn't even see a ghost. Is it because you have changed your mind? If you don't love my sister, tell him to tell her sooner." A letter, don't hurt anyone." "Xixi." Dong Xiaowan stared at her. "I want to say that. That impostor is heartless." Xixi stomped her foot. Fang Mizhi persuaded: "I have known Mao Bijiang for many years, and I know him well. He never promises easily. Promises are bound to be kept. There must be some obstacles to welcome Miss Wan in the future.I hope Miss Wan will forgive me. " Yu Lianhe also chimed in: "Young Master Mao has always valued love and righteousness, and will never break his promise. I figured he must have other urgent business.Miss Wang Wan must not have excessive suspicion. " Dong Xiaowan sighed, and said sadly: "I also know that pretending to be a son is not a heartless person, but it's just that when the love is true, it's just a shock when a shadow passes by." Fang Mizhi said: "The belt is getting wider and I don't regret it at all. I'm haggard because of Yixiao. I really envy Mr. Mao to have such an infatuated confidante like you. If I meet him, I will definitely come here as soon as possible." After dinner, everyone went to the living room to drink tea and gossip. Yu Lianhe felt a little overwhelmed, so he got up to leave.Fang Mizhi also wanted to leave, but was forcibly kept by Dong Xiaowan.Yu Lianhe had no choice but to look for Fan Yunwei alone, and the two of them will go to Yangzhou to look for Zheng Chao's house early tomorrow morning. Fang Mizhi blew on the floating tea in his cup, and took a sip.The moment he put down the cup, he caught a glimpse of Xixi peeking at him from behind the screen, and suddenly remembered that he had slept with her in Meixiang Building that day and thus broke her virginity, and felt that Xixi was no longer the same as before. Now she is a more beautiful woman.Xixi met his eyes and hurriedly avoided, but her face was flushed with red.The big-footed single mother just came in with some refreshments. Seeing that she was a little strange, she asked, "Xixi, is there something wrong?" , I'll deal with it here." Xixi took advantage of the situation and walked away. Dong Xiaowan asked: "Mr. Fang, today is thanks to you, otherwise something would have happened. Excuse me, why is Mr. Fang here again?" "I wanted to visit my aunt in Huangshan, but I didn't want to run into Yu Lianhe, so I went with him to Jiangyin for a walk, and I stopped by to see you. I thought Mr. Ma might be here too." Dong Xiaowan sighed again.Fang Mizhi also knew that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Do you know about Hou Chaozong and Li Xiangjun?" "What's the matter?" Dong Xiaowan only thought that something went wrong with the married couple, and said worriedly: "I haven't heard from the sisters for more than a year, and I don't know if they are doing well." Fang Mizhi said: "The two of them are married!" Dong Xiaowan was not overjoyed when she heard the news, because it was what she expected.She immediately thought of her bleak situation, and couldn't help feeling sad.She said lightly: "Xiang Jun is so lucky!" "Xiangjun is really a strange woman with integrity. Hou Chaozong didn't have much money at the time, so he borrowed some money from Yang Longyou to make a new dress for Xiangjun, but later learned that Yang Longyou was the one who asked Ruan Dacheng for the money without telling everyone. The eunuch borrowed it, and Xiangjun took off her dress on the spot and threw it on the ground and stamped her feet a few times, saying that she would rather die poor than accept any affection from a thief like him." "What a backbone sister!" "Xiangjun is an amazing woman. However, Miss Wan's backbone is no match for her!" Dong Xiaowan was delighted to hear him praise herself.After all, she has stopped socializing for more than a year, so she seldom hears such compliments, and how many women in the world don't like to hear compliments.She herself had complimented herself in the mirror in private! She asked: "Young Master Fang, you just said you were going to Mount Huangshan, when are you leaving?" "Leave tomorrow." "I'm going with you." "This……" "I have long admired the scenery of Huangshan, but I only wish I hadn't had the chance. Besides, you have seen the situation in Suzhou. I have to go out to avoid it, otherwise I won't be forced to death by others." "Okay, I'll take you there. However, I don't dare to go alone with you. I'll be surprised if you don't tear my skin off in the future." "I'll ask my mother to go with me, okay?" "Okay. That's it." It's late at night, and it's time to rest.The shadows of the trees are mottled, and the surroundings are quiet. Dong Xiaowan said with a smile: "Young Master Fang has always been coquettish and headstrong, let Xixi accompany you to sleep, okay?" "No, no. How can this work?" "Xixi is your broken body, are you really so heartless?" What you say is what you say, what you do is what you do.When Fang Mizhi undressed and lay down on the bed, Xixi floated into the room like a ghost, Fang Mizhi couldn't refuse, and felt extremely ashamed. The wind from the river blew into the cabin through the gaps in the canopy, Dong Xiaowan's ice-like skin felt the chill, and couldn't help but sneezed a few times.Aunt Chen hurriedly boiled a pot of ginger juice in the boatman's pot, and asked her to eat two cloves of garlic first, and then drink ginger juice to keep out the cold and disease.The garlic was so hot that Dong Xiaowan almost cried. At this moment, the boat is passing through the thin mist on the Yangtze River.The weather was gloomy, without the breath of early summer. The boatman put the curved oar at the stern and said to himself: "It seems to be raining." Sitting on the bow of the boat, Fang Mizhi flipped through the poems written by Dong Xiaowan, and kept admiring, "It is not an exaggeration to say that Wan Jun is the best in Qinhuai, even though he is not as good as his eyebrows." Write down: "Collection of Huayingyan Ci." A few words. He said, "Wan Jun, did you really write these words?" "Of course. Don't you believe Mr. Fang? You can test me." Fang Mizhi thought that there was nothing to do on this boat, so let her write the lyrics, and enjoy herself too.He said: "Will Mr. Wan take a piece of "Poppy Poppy"? It will open my eyes." "Okay, you wait slowly." Dong Xiaowan looked at the foggy scenery in the middle of the river, pondered for a while, and then slowly said a poem, which floated into Fang Mizhi's ears with the wind: Ginger soup hides Boya's fingers and touches my heartstrings. Halfway through the residual fog, the beauty is surrounded, only the reed flowers are still old love. With a cup in your chest, you want to get drunk, and the word love hangs between your eyebrows, asking when is the best time for you? Just like spring water, sorrow is like a king's words. Fang Mizhi listened to her cadenced words, clapped his hands and praised: "Wan Jun is comparable to Li Qingzhao back then, and she is a rare woman in the world. Please be worshiped by one of Fang Mi to show her admiration." Fang Mizhi said, Really bowed to Dong Xiaowan.In fact, he was very conflicted in his heart at the moment. First of all, he was glad that Mao Pijiang could get such a beautiful and talented beauty.Secondly, he also regretted that he was not as good as himself in the beginning, but this idea just disappeared as quickly as the shadow cast by a dragonfly flying over the surface of the pool without leaving a trace. At the foot of Huangshan Mountain, in front of Woyun nunnery, there is a large natural bluestone table in the shade cast by several pines and cypresses. Two old nuns over half a century old are playing Go.One is Fang Weiyi, and she is the aunt Fang Mizhi visited on this trip, and the other is Miaoduan, and people call her Mrs. Miaoduan.Time is moving inch by inch as the chess pieces fall on the chessboard one by one like drops of water dripping from a watch. Miaoduan accidentally made a wrong move, and hurriedly reached out to pick it up. Fang Weiyi reached out and grabbed her wrist and said, "No, no, no regrets." let go.Miaoduan is not convinced either.Two old nuns quarreled in the shade of a tree. Miaoduan said angrily: "I can't play anymore." Pushing the chessboard taking advantage of the situation, black pieces and white pieces are in a mess, crowded into several piles, it is no longer a chess game.Fang Weiyi said: "If you don't get down, you won't get down. Today I sat with you all afternoon for nothing. Your waist is sore. According to the old rules, you will be punished by beating your back." Miaoduan said: "Sit down." Fang Weiyi yelled, "Be gentle." At this moment, Fang Weiyi saw a crimson carriage slowly approaching on the mountain road under the lavender twilight, and there was an elegant young man riding a horse in front of the carriage. Behind them was an orange sunset and a brilliant sky.She suddenly had a premonition that perhaps some relative had come.She rubbed her eyes with her hands, but her old and dim eyes couldn't see clearly.Miaoduan also stopped, and stared at the carriage approaching... The chariots and horses stopped in front of Woyun Nunnery, the young master jumped off the horse, walked up to Fang Weiyi and called out respectfully: "Aunt." Only then did she grab an image from Ruyan's memory, knowing that standing in front of her was her nephew Fang Mizhi.She held his hand, very excited, and her heart that had been peaceful for many years was rippling.Then, he hurriedly introduced Mrs. Miaoduan. At this time, Dong Xiaowan also supported Aunt Chen's shoulders and jumped slightly, then got out of the carriage. Fang Mizhi introduced Dong Xiaowan's mother and daughter to the two teachers. Fang Weiyi and Miaoduan are superstitious women. When they saw Dong Xiaowan, they fell in love with each other very much, because they both dreamed of Chang'e visiting at the same time last night. They all thought that this dream should be in Dong Xiaowan's body. Arriving in this quiet and refined place, Dong Xiaowan feels like a fish in water, and with the love and love of these two teachers, she thinks that the happiest time of her life has come.Climbing and playing with Fang Mizhi every day, Aunt Chen learned to recite Buddhist scriptures. Only then did she realize that the reason for her misfortune in her life was that she could not teach Buddhism. After Fang Mizhi and his aunt Fang Weiyi talked about the family life of their long-lost reunion, they couldn't stand the loneliness and felt that Huangshan was also boring, so they wanted to leave.Dong Xiaowan wanted to stay longer, but Fang Weiyi and Miaoduan readily agreed that she could stay no matter how long.Only then did Fang Mizhi leave with peace of mind, and Dong Xiaowan told him: "If you meet Mr. Imposter, ask him to come pick me up at Huangshan." Dong Xiaowan wakes up early every morning, fetches water from the clear spring at the foot of the mountain, boils it slowly, and brews Yunwu tea, a specialty of Huangshan Mountain.By the time Fang Weiyi and Miaoduan finished their morning classes, the tea was slightly cold and ready to drink. Aunt Chen was bored, so she raised silkworms. Fang Weiyi and Miaoduan were also fascinated by silkworms, and came to help with cooking when they had nothing to do.They made silkworm plaques one after another by themselves, watching the white silkworms rolling among the green mulberry leaves, listening to the rustling sound of chewing, the women's faces flashed gratified smiles, Dong Xiaowan He often went to the mountains and forests to cut and pick mulberry leaves with Mrs. Miaoduan carrying a bamboo basket.The two of them shuttled between the trees, and the birds on the tree chirped, fiddled with some water droplets, and fell on their faces.The air is filled with the smell of pine resin and fresh plants.There are not many mulberry trees in this area, and when they came across three or two by chance, the two of them were overjoyed, but they heard the scissors screeching, Dong Xiaowan once ate a lot of mulberries, and his lips were painted black and black. A few magpies seemed not to be afraid of people, and jumped onto the branches to grab the mulberries.When she and Mrs. Miaoduan returned to Woyun Nunnery with bamboo baskets on their backs, the smell of dinner was already wafting in the smoke.Sometimes when it rains, you have to wait for the sun to dry the mulberry leaves before you can pick them. When Dong Xiaowan returns home, she sees Woyun nunnery under the starry sky like a gentle animal waiting for her to go home. In a blink of an eye, the silkworms formed cocoons, and the silkworm house was full of oval snow-white flowers, and another happy cycle came to an end. Whenever the moon is full, Dong Xiaowan and Fang Weiyi go to the mountains to dig moonflower grass, which is a good medicine for treating wind and cold.Every time you dig a tree, smash it on the rock, otherwise it will harden after half an hour, and you will have to work hard to smash it.Therefore, Huangshan woodcutters kept discovering that there was a beautiful woman in white clothes making medicine on the rocks on the night of the full moon. The rumors gradually spread among the teahouses in the surrounding villages and towns. Finally, some people believed that Chang'e was making medicine. , someone asked back: "Who knows that woman?" One day, Dong Xiaowan and Fang Weiyi came back through the dew at dawn, and saw Miaoduan wandering anxiously in front of the nunnery from a distance.Miaoduan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them. She told them that according to nearby hunters, there were wolves in Huangshan Mountain recently, and she was very worried.It was September at this time, and September is the most plentiful season of moonflower grass. Fang Weiyi refused to let go of the good time, and went to collect herbs with Dong Xiaowan the next day. Miaoduan dissuaded him: "Be careful not to meet wolves." Fang Weiyi just didn't believe it. , When has there been wolves in Huangshan? However, Master Miaoduan's unfortunate words, Dong Xiaowan and Fang Weiyi really met a wolf.This left the deepest memory of terror in Dong Xiaowan's life. At that time, there were a few faint cumulonimbus clouds floating in the sky, Fang Weiyi brought an umbrella before going out, she was convinced of her feeling about the weather.The two of them were lucky, and they found a large piece of strong moonflower grass under the watery moonlight. They were stretching their waists and begging the sky for the comfort of the moonlight, like a young woman in hunger and thirst.It was nearly midnight, and the two of them had already filled two bamboo baskets.Fang Weiyi saw that there were no more clouds in the sky, and sighed, thinking that holding the umbrella in her hand was a small burden, but she didn't think that it was the umbrella that saved their lives. The two of them walked on a narrow mountain road, which was carved out of the cliff, and there were only choices of advancing and retreating. In the middle of the cliff, they both saw a wolf at the same time, and cried out in surprise: "Mom!" ah!" The wolf crouched on the intersection, its fur gleaming gray.A pair of green eyes in the shadow of eye sockets are hungry, impatient and savage, and the tail sweeps the gravel behind it to keep rolling into the abyss.Dong Xiaowan and Fang Weiyi trembled, but they still haven't lost their minds. The wolf smelled the food, got up hurriedly, twisted its neck comfortably, curled its long tongue around its sharp teeth.It intuitively knows that it has encountered weak opponents, and it is full of confidence in hunting them.It walked towards them with slow steps, as if slowly appreciating their panic. Dong Xiaowan and Fang Weiyi backed away in fear.Fang Weiyi trembled all over, accidentally stepped on a loose stone, and fell to the ground, the stone rolled into the abyss, and it took a long time for a muffled sound, which was even more frightening in the quiet night.The wolf quickened his pace.Dong Xiaowan seemed to see a smile on the corner of its mouth.Fang Weiyi was too limp to stand up.In desperation, Dong Xiaowan opened the oil-paper umbrella, and with a bang, a barrier was formed between the man and the wolf.Dong Xiaowan followed the edge of the umbrella, and saw the wolf stop in a daze, staring suspiciously at the weird body that suddenly blocked his eyes.It couldn't help shaking its body and shaking its head for a while, Dong Xiaowan saw that its ears had turned into two tufts of hairs that knew how to listen.It stopped and shook its head, staring at the weird object, still not understanding what it was. The man and the wolf were in a stalemate like this.Time is passing by little by little.The moon fell down on the western mountain, and the mountain road was dimmed, only the eyes of the wolf were shining... The sky is about to dawn... Finally, the sense of hunger overcame the sense of fear, and the wolf gave up the strategy of waiting, and with a bow, he rushed forward.Dong Xiaowan was used to the darkness, she could see clearly, she hurriedly used her umbrella to resist it, but she couldn't hold it back, only heard the sound of oil paper being torn, a wild pressure rushed to her hand, she fell on the ground On the ground, seeing the wolf's mouth opened wide in front of her eyes, she desperately swept down the cliff with her umbrella.The wolf lying on the broken umbrella could not stand still, and leaned towards the cliff. Amidst the sound of rolling sand and stones, the pressure on Dong Xiaowan's hands suddenly disappeared, and the long howling sound of the wolf came from the abyss. despair.After a long time, there was a heavy pounding sound from the abyss... Dong Xiaowan collapsed beside Fang Weiyi, and the two cuddled together in fear. They stared at the abyss for a long time, and found that the abyss was also staring at themselves. After a long time, Dong Xiaowan still has lingering fears when recalling the scene at that time.In the first few days after leaving Huangshan, she filled in the only poem about fear in her life, but unfortunately she burned it on the spot, leaving no ashes. Fang Weiyi saw that the autumn wind in October made the maple leaves red, but Dong Xiaowan in the red maple leaves looked worried. She was worried that Dong Xiaowan might leave her, and hid in the meditation room every day to divination for her. Did she miss it? How much she hoped that this daughter-like person would stay by her side and depend on her! However, Dong Xiaowan was really homesick. In order to remember the beautiful scenery of Huangshan, she lingered in the mountains and clouds all day long, as if she wanted to concentrate all the plants and trees on her body and accompany her for the rest of her life. When Dong Xiaowan bid farewell to Fang Weiyi and Miaoduan formally, Fang Weiyi burst into tears because of the sudden loss of support, and it was only then that she realized that she hadn't cried for many years.So, the more she cried, the happier she became, no one could stop her, and Miaoduan also cried along with her.Dong Xiaowan and Aunt Chen disappeared in the carriage and disappeared from their sight. The two of them cried at each other even more wantonly. The two old nuns who were over half a century old felt that crying was more comfortable than laughing. Fang Weiyi didn't lose her head from crying. When Dong Xiaowan knocked on the door of Wang Chengdao, the richest man in She County, she was holding a letter written by her in his hand.She expected that it must be dusk when Dong Xiaowan's mother and daughter arrived in She County, so she asked them to stay at Wang Chengdao's house, Wang Chengdao was the biggest benefactor of Woyun Nunnery.So, when the steward of the palace welcomed the two of them into the door, the chrysanthemums in the courtyard had already turned into piles of mottled flower shadows under the cover of the twilight. Wang Chengdao saw the fairy floating into his house, and felt her brilliance even in the dark corners. He was so excited that the hand holding the letter kept trembling, and the letter made a slight sound.Unexpectedly, Wang Chengdao's sincerity of worshiping Buddha was rewarded so beautifully. When he read the letter, he had imagined the wonderful scene of this extremely beautiful Qinhuai famous prostitute sharing the same bed. He arranged for Dong Xiaowan's mother and daughter to rest in the wing room, ordered the housekeeper to prepare a sumptuous dinner, then slipped to the backyard to send his wife and two concubines back to her mother's house that night, and ordered a few servants to dress up the bedroom like a new house.Then he happily took a pine tree to the cellar and took out a jar of aged Sanbian wine. He wanted to use the wine to strengthen his yang energy. After being busy for a while, a banquet was set up in the hall, and Dong Xiaowan and her daughter were invited to sit down at the banquet.Seeing the stewed bullwhip and wolfberry soup on the table, Wang Chengdao nodded to the butler, who smiled secretly.Dong Xiaowan didn't know what it was, so he asked him what it was, and he said it was a giant snail. After the banquet was over, it was already midnight, Dong Xiaowan and Aunt Chen went back to the wing room and were waiting for a rest, Wang Chengdao happily pushed the door open and bowed respectfully to Dong Xiaowan. "Master Wang," Dong Xiaowan said in surprise, "Why is this?" "I have heard the charm of the Qinhuai River for a long time, but I have never tried it. Today, the lady came to my humble house. I... I...I..." Wang Chengdao hesitated to speak, and Aunt Chen pressed her again and again, and then he murmured that he wanted to sleep with Dong Xiaowan for a night, and repeatedly stated that this was his long-cherished wish for many years. Dong Xiaowan hastily explained that he had already thanked the guests from Dumen, and that he wanted to protect the innocence of the fake son, so he must not do it. Please forgive me, Mr. Wang. Wang Chengdao froze there as if struck by lightning.It turns out that prostitutes don't just come with money.He was in so much pain that he bumped his head against the wall and yelled, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, when the medicine takes effect, who can I vent to? Oh! I'm so unlucky, but my wife was sent back to her mother's house again, why? What to do? What to do?" During the long night, Dong Xiaowan wet the pillow towel with tears. At this moment, Dong Xiaowan was staring at the vast night outside the window, and also staring at the desolate half moon.The same half-moon is still hanging in the sky of Luzhou, thousands of miles away from her. The cold light of the moon shines on the mighty and mighty barracks of General Shi Kefa. candied haws.In the dim light, except for a group of sentry cavalry watching the night, every tense military tent was already snoring like thunder.As if the drums sounded in sleep, it inspired the soldiers to take neat steps towards the vast battlefield of their dreams.The seventh tent to the left of the Chinese army tent was still lit, and it was extraordinarily bright in the dark night. Mao Bijiang and Chen Junyue were having a drink together in the tent.It turned out that after Chen Junyue left Maopijiang at the ferry of the Yellow River, he visited several famous mountains and rivers with Yizhi Meilonglan, and Longlan traveled to the Tianshan Mountains alone.Chen Junyue's inner pride and ambition were inspired, and finally she couldn't stand the mediocre life at home, so she packed up her bags and went to court. His wife wanted to stop him, but Chen Junyue said angrily: "As a wife, you should encourage your husband to pursue his career, but how can you let him be mediocre for the sake of his children's love? How can a dignified man be a villager with peace of mind? Stop it again, I will divorce you." Chen Junyue carried a short stick at the eyebrows, and when she arrived in Luzhou, she didn't go to the reception hall to register, but went straight to the tent of the Chinese army, yelling to see Mr. Shi.The officer on duty was furious, and shouted: "How dare the villagers roar at the barracks? Someone from the left and right, take it down for me." Several soldiers rushed towards Chen Junyue.Chen Junyue had been on guard for a long time, and hit him with a stick.There was a lot of excitement in front of the Chinese military tent.Shi Kefa was in the tent at that time reviewing the military report submitted by the school lieutenants. Hearing the commotion outside the tent, he frowned and stepped out of the tent, only to see a strong man fighting with a dozen guards.Shi Kefa saw that the strong man with extraordinary skill did not hurt the hearts of the guards in the army, so he knew his intention.They yelled in front of the tent: "Stop!" Everyone hurriedly stopped, Chen Junyue knew that the majestic officer standing in front of the tent must be Shi Kefa, so he threw away his stick and knelt down on the ground, begging Mr. Shi to apologize and show that he joined the army sincerity.Master Shi asked him why he didn't join the military hall, Chen Junyue said that he was confident that he was a general, and he was unwilling to join the army.Mr. Shi appreciated it greatly, and asked him to enter the account to take some military tests, and all the answers were fluent, and he was appointed as a school assistant on the spot. Soon, he was ordered to go to Ningbo to collect food.When he completed the task and returned the account to hand in the order, he was pleasantly surprised to see Mao Bijiang sitting beside Shi Kefa.When brothers meet again, the natural joy is unspeakable, and they gather together to discuss heroic achievements every day when they have nothing to do. Shi Kefa intends to promote Mao Pijiang.Mao Pijiang insisted on entering the government through the imperial examination.Mr. Shi was inconvenient to force him, but he asked Chen Junyue to lobby in private, hoping that he would stay in the army. At this moment, the two were talking and laughing happily, and Chen Junyue suddenly asked Mao Pijiang why he didn't stay in the army, and the two brothers joined hands to create achievements.Mao Pijiang put down his wine glass, stood up silently, walked to the tent door, looked up at the cool half of the moon, his clothes were gently blown by the night wind.Chen Junyue saw a proud heart and conceit from his back. Mao Pijiang asked leisurely, "What is a person going to do if he doesn't even want a good future?" Chen Junyue knew that he had his own intentions, so he kept silent. In his heart, he has already embarked on the return journey to Rugao. Mao Bijiang resigned from Mr. Shi, bid farewell to Chen Junyue on the riverside, and crossed the Yangtze River on a military ship carrying grain.On this day, the river was foggy, and I saw a passenger boat in the haze. There was a woman on the bow who looked a bit like Dong Xiaowan, and I couldn't help thinking: I don't know if she is doing well now?Have you despaired of yourself?Did you marry someone else?Mao Pijiang sighed and made up his mind that no matter whether she is married or not, she will definitely meet again next spring. This is heart-wrenching and unfeeling! In fact, the woman on that boat was Dong Xiaowan who had returned from Mount Huangshan. She also caught a glimpse of the young man on the military boat who looked like Mao Pijiang, and she suddenly felt the pain of lovesickness, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.Aunt Chen saw it in the cabin, and hurriedly helped her into the cabin and sat down. She wiped away her tears with a silk handkerchief, and sadly took out her book "Collected Words of Flowers and Shadows".娘取出笔砚，就在冰凉的江风中苦苦地思虑着填下一首《青玉案·归乡道中思良人》： 秋波暗渡雁无栖，人相惟，泪不息。 盈盈枯枝伴孤篱，萧索庭院，横江舟苦，憔悴菊花里。 白雾幽梦江中起，花落尽，可怜泪湿衣，无奈游魂随风去，拣得相思，迎得公子，夜半剪君须。 路上非一日，到了苏州，已是半夜，母女俩悄无声息回到家中。惜惜、单妈、董旻迎她俩进了屋。多久不见，一家五个人相拥而哭。特别是惜惜，哭得死去活来，等她不哭了，才发现众人早就收泪，都含笑望着自己。 为了不惊动苏州的浪子，母女都躲在家中，不露面，只有沙玉芳和沙九畹知道她俩已回了家。秋天过了，就是冬天，冬天有雪，令董小宛欢喜了一阵子，仿佛转眼间就过了除夕，随之又过了元宵。爆竹的硝烟在空中滞留了很久，因而延长了所有人的喜气。 董小宛的安宁生活却没能延长，元宵节后第七天，她在阁楼窗前痴痴地想着冒辟疆，被一个眼力极好的无聊浪子看见，他正好没处找酒钱，当即大喜，飞也似的跑上来凤阁，向正在狂饮的霍华和窦虎报告这一惊人发现。两个恶霸大喜，当即决定明天就去抢董小宛，那人也趁机痛饮了美酒。事也凑巧，沙九畹当时也在酒楼的另一桌陪几位官员饮酒，闻得两个恶棍们的歹毒之言，便借机溜走，赶到半塘，告之紧急之情，可怜董小宛，只得连夜和娘一起又跑到杭州避灾，家中银两匮乏，已经欠了三百两债，无奈只得再借五十两以作远游之资。 天下乌鸦一般黑。早就有文人感叹：“从来就未见世人好德如好色一样齐心而又有共识。”董小宛在杭州也只过了几天清静日子。刚刚逃脱苏州恶人的手心，却又陷入了杭州恶人的罗网。 这天，母女俩在雷峰塔转了又转，想象着千年白蛇缠住塔身的样子，蛇头依拱着塔尖，董小宛朝塔尖望去，只看见悠悠的青天，春天正迈开大步赶着一群候鸟朝北方飞去，在她的思绪之中，冒辟疆就是她要报答的牧童。 母女俩又到西湖里荡舟，波光粼粼辉映着天空和游人。游人因春而添喜气，更加容光焕发，董小宛亦更显得光彩照人，当她弃了舟楫，登上湖心亭时，亭中本来嘈杂的游人们忽然静了下来，人们谈话都降低了音量，纷纷侧目惊叹天下竟有如此佳人。董小宛并未理睬，径直踱步到茶舍中的一张临窗桌旁坐下叫茶。 从窗口望出去，依旧是早春晴朗的天气，看来春雨还在远方孕育，天还不会突然变坏。但董小宛身处的环境却发生了变化。 一位提架鸟笼的刁滑公子在四个家奴簇拥下闯进亭来。 这个刁滑公子姓崔名维，有钱有势，杭州太守见到他都打躬问安，世风更助长了他的作恶之胆。崔维坐到茶桌上，兀自逗引着鸟笼中的黄鹂鸟。几个家奴比主子更加凶恶，坐在那里得意洋洋四处张望，最后四个人的目光都停留在临窗那位少女的背影上。陈大娘从那邪邪的目光中嗅到了不祥的气息，忙招呼董小宛：“乖女，时光不早了，咱们还是先回去吧。” 董小宛兴犹未尽，便想劝娘多呆一会，她刚一转身，便撞上八道目光，一下子明白了娘的苦心。四个家奴看清她的容颜，齐声喝了一声彩。崔维把眼光从黄鹂鸟身上移过来，看见董小宛，惊喜地跳了起来，鸟笼从桌上滚到地上，黄鹂鸟从摔开的小门飞了出来。 崔维忘记了鸟儿，只是真勾勾地盯着董小宛。直到母女走出茶亭，他才反应过来，朝几个家奴叫道：“给我叫过来。” 四个家奴朝母女俩走去。母女俩一急，拨腿便跑，无奈脚小力弱，不出七八步便被恶奴们追赶上。四个家奴拖扯住董小苑，陈大娘情急之下，大喊：“救命啊，救命啊！” 许多游人停下脚步，却没几个敢来救，远远近近站着看不花钱的戏一般。 董小宛正拼命挣扎，忽然抓紧自己的手接二连三地松开了，但听“扑扑”两声，前面的两个家奴扑倒在地，口中大叫道：“哎哟！”后面的家奴也同样张嘴大叫，灰被风吹入口中。一位背着剑的武生扯住小宛道：“姑娘，快随我来！”陈大娘跟着他俩朝船上跑。董小宛看见那船头上站着一位持扇的公子，竟是复社中的吴次尾。心里一阵释然。 眼看就要跑上船，崔维从后面追上来，一脚将陈大娘踢落水中，西湖炸开一朵很大的花，水一嘴吞下了陈大娘，又吐到水面，再吞下，再吐出，几个船家将她捞起，弄上了船。 另一边，武生已将崔维打昏在地，并踏上一只脚，几个家奴拔刀扑上来，武生拔出背上的剑指着崔维道：“谁敢上来，我先取他的狗命。”众恶奴害怕伤了少爷，自己不好交差，只得退后三丈，各自恶狠狠瞪着武生。武生吩咐船家开船，待船驶出三尺开外，才一转身，猛跑几步一纵身跃上船头。几个家奴追到岸边，挥舞着刀厉声叫骂着，却无可奈何，船已破浪而去。 二月的水依旧冰冷透骨，陈大娘又加上受了惊吓，全身颤栗着，不省人世。董小宛跪在船头放声痛哭。幸亏船主舱中备有他老婆一套衣服，忙叫董小宛给她娘换了衣裳。又熬了一碗姜汤灌下去，那冰凉的身体渐渐回了阳气，那双眼睛也慢慢睁开来，陈大娘暂时缓过了气，精神也好了些。 董小宛这才上前谢那相助的恩人，吴次尾叫她免礼，然后介绍这位武生，他叫黄毓祺，是复社中少数文武全才之人，与喻连河齐名。人称复社“秀面铜锤”就是专指二人。黄毓祺和董小宛彼此客气见了面，三人就在船头说了些闲话。董小宛终于从吴次尾口中听到冒辟疆的消息。原来吴次尾刚从如皋路过，知道他去年失约的原因是为了进京救父，今年开春就会到苏州来接她，董小宛感动得泪流满面。陈大娘听到这些话，心里也为女儿高兴，竟没事一般坐了起来。 吴次尾和黄毓祺将母女俩送出杭州三十里，才另外给她们雇了一条船，因母女俩的行李陷在杭州，黄毓祺赠给她俩三十两银子，方才依依不舍地挥手告别。董小宛和娘就叫船家挂帆直往苏州。董小宛心里充满对冒公子的期盼。 在路上，春雨淅淅沥沥地下了起来，陈大娘病倒了，咳出了鲜血，脸色也一天天坏下去，最后变得透明如一张纸。到后来，便昏死过去，只有出的气，没有进的气。眼见已是弥留之人，董小宛终日抱着娘哭唤，却没听到一丝回音。 船老大戴着斗笠，披着衣在船尾摇船。看着陈大娘这光景，已知必死无疑，仰首喝了一口酒，独自嚷道：“真倒楣，刚开年就运一趟死人，流年不顺啊。”酒葫芦还在腰上晃荡。 一位年轻的船工劝道：“师傅，你就少说两句嘛，瞧人家多可怜。”船老大伸手就给他一掌，骂道：“给老子住口，你也敢奚落老子。”船工只得缩回舱中对哭得更惨的董小宛说道：“小姐，我师傅心很好，嘴上发发牢骚，你别往心里去。” 快要到达苏州时，陈大娘便悄无声息地死了，像舱中被风吹熄的一盏灯。几天粒米未进的董小宛哭得昏死过去。船家好容易将她弄醒，她又抱着娘的尸体放声痛哭。雨依然淅淅沥沥地下着。 董旻找邱大混借了些银两，置办了棺木，草草将陈大娘葬了。董小宛疲惫得脱了人形，终日也不梳妆，披头散发坐在厅中发呆。全家人都像散了魂似的六神无主。 这天，霍华率众闯进院门，见昏暗的厅堂中端坐的董小宛，心里一惊，以为遇到了鬼，吓得转身就跑，因而放弃了对董家的骚扰。 董小宛病了。 惜惜与单妈忙里忙外，最后只得胡乱地抓些药来，煨了给董小宛喝。屋里堆了许许多多的花罐。药渣也丢在花坛之中。药气弥漫着整个院宅，院中的花被薰得蔫蔫的，没有一丝春天的生机。 董小宛却仍病着。董旻起初还帮着大家忙，后来丧了气。 每天只知道喝酒，然后就是吹笛子。家里缺了主心骨，个个都活得萎靡不振，凄凉之极。 真是无处话凄凉。
