Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Deep Love
"Lin Shu, you take a rest for a while, let me do it." Sui Qing's voice was filled with tears.
To make matters worse, the girl's menstrual period, which has always been troublesome and difficult, came unexpectedly today.
As luck would have it, in order to attend the banquet in style today, the girl specially changed into an elegant Han Chinese woman's attire, and her moon-white brocade horse-face skirt with borders was stained with blood.
The creepy bloody water even stained the lotus-colored embroidered shoe uppers.
Sui Qing suppressed her fear and wiped the blood with a handkerchief tremblingly.
Yinzhen rushed into the kitchen in one step, his eyes bloodshot.
"Shu'er!"
He held her in his arms without saying anything, and he could even feel the heart-pounding warmth and wetness in his palms.
"Wait a minute, it's almost done. The fish-flavored eggplant dish is ready. Suiqing, go and steam some rice for Chi Zheng and Su Sheng first."
Chu Xian leaned on the stove with one hand, draining the oil from the golden eggplant strips that had been fried until the skin was slightly wrinkled.
"Ah? Fish? I haven't killed the fish yet, there is no fish." Su Peisheng stamped his feet anxiously.
He had never heard of the dish Fish-flavored Eggplant.
"Lin Shu, what kind of fish do you need? I'll go buy it right away."
"Su Sheng, don't panic. There's no fish in the fish-flavored eggplant."
Chu Xian smiled. Fish-flavored eggplant originated in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and got its name from the unique fish flavor it imitates with seasonings.
"Pour the secret sauce I prepared in a large bowl into the hot oil pan, dip the eggplant strips evenly in the sauce and serve."
Chu Xian's hands holding the spatula couldn't help shaking. Every time she had her period, it was like torture. In severe cases, she had to take Ma Fei San to relieve the pain.
The spatula was suddenly snatched away, and Chi Zheng fried the eggplant strips with unfamiliar techniques.
His other hand was wrapped tightly around her waist, his palm carefully kneading her abdomen.
After the fish-flavored eggplant was served on a plate, Chi Zheng held her in his arms and was unwilling to let her go no matter how she struggled.
When we reached the corridor, the wife of the academician came in late with a look of joy in her eyes.
Seeing from afar a handsome young man hugging Lin affectionately, the wife of the academician couldn't help but be moved.
Lin Shu is a really bold girl. Even though she is so sick, she still does not forget to serve her beloved as a slave.
The true love between young men and women is always sincere, but if the young man makes a big leap in the future, I wonder if he can remain loyal to Lin.
Probably not, at least she had never seen it in her life.
Who hasn't dreamed and yearned like this, but in the end, all that is left is disillusionment and torment.
"Mother Zhang, give the guarantee document to Lin and seal ten taels of silver as a thank you."
The wife of the academician cast a resentful look at the affectionate couple in the corridor, gritting her teeth.
Slut, she had just left for a cup of tea when she couldn't wait to seduce her husband and wanted to do that thing on the spot.
The academician's wife strode forward, continuing today's fierce fight to the death.
Chu Xian received the guarantee document from the maid, held it in her arms, her face pale as she looked up at Chi Zheng: "Look, you can take part in the Spring Examination."
The man's pair of deep black eyes moved between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Without saying a word, he bent down for her, pressed his cheek against her forehead wet with cold sweat, and rubbed it tenderly.
Sui Qing followed the girl, anxiously holding back tears.
"Why are you crying? Don't panic. I know a clinic that sells meridian-warming and pain-relieving medicine that's really effective. I'll go get some medicine right away."
"Lin Shu suffers so much every time she has her period. There's nothing we can do to cure her." Sui Qing choked up. She had good medical skills, but it was still of no use.
The girl's pulse was strange and hard to explain.
"Su Sheng, if your young master passes the imperial examination and looks down on Lin Shu, I will not forgive him."
Su Peisheng had never been threatened so openly before. He couldn't help but choke on his breath: "When one person succeeds, everyone in the family will benefit. Lin Shuruo becoming the top scholar is her destiny."
"It's fate. To be honest, Lin Shu once offended the son of a powerful noble. If your son were to become an official in the court, he might be forced by power to let Lin Shu down."
"She knew this, yet she still lifted Chi Zheng up high and pushed him away from her. It's not worth it."
Sui Qing complained indignantly.
Su Peisheng stopped in his tracks and asked, "Do you know which powerful person Lin Shu offended?"
"It's useless to tell you." Sui Qing stomped his feet. Who can compete with the prince?
She ran after the missing girl.
Su Peisheng hurried to find the genius doctor Ye Tianshi to get medicine. As soon as Pu returned to the farm, he reported the news he had learned from Sui Qing to the Fourth Master.
"Go and find out who the powerful young man Lin Shu offended is."
Yinzhen had a sinister look on his face, and Nara was arrogant and domineering, relying on her status as the future prince's wife to bully others for many years.
Her most trusted servant was treated so harshly. If it were any other day, Nara would have been on the verge of a fight with that person. There were not many people she could be afraid of.
This person must be a royal relative, which is why Nara clan would keep a low profile and not dare to act rashly.
Unable to sort out the complicated issues, Yinzhen personally brought the warm medicine cup to the west wing and personally served Lin Shu the medicine.
When she fell asleep, he sat beside the bed and looked at her pale and haggard sleeping face.
Rub your palms together to warm them up, then gently massage her belly.
Su Peisheng quietly brought the guarantee document stamped by the prefect and the provincial education commissioner.
What should I do? My identity is special, so how can I take part in the imperial examination?
"Keep it safe and store it in a copper box."
When Su Peisheng heard about the copper box, he was stunned and couldn't help looking at the low-hanging curtain. The copper box was of great significance to the Fourth Master. Lin Shu was really lucky. She had won the Fourth Master's heart by accident.
At this time, the unconscious Lin Shu groaned in pain, and the master was unusually confused, and the medicine cup in his hand fell.
Su Peisheng was quick to grab the medicine cup.
Chu Xian was awakened by the pain, and the curtains were dark and hot.
"Suiqing, I'm thirsty."
In a daze, she was helped up, and she could smell the familiar and clear scent of a man.
Chu Xian's stomach was aching badly, and she sobbed and threw herself into Chi Zheng's arms.
His warm palms rubbed her belly, and hot and dense kisses kept falling on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. He seemed to like kissing her eyes very much.
A wet kiss fell on her eyelashes, and she tilted her head back to kiss him.
They slept in each other's arms, his hand never leaving her belly all night.
Chu Xian rested in bed for four full days. It was not until the fifth day, when her period ended, that Chi Zheng let her get out of bed.
"Shall we go hunting today?" Chu Xian was alive again and wanted to relax as her bones ached from lying down these days.
"Okay." Yinzhen raised his eyes and glanced at Su Peisheng who was sitting in the patio picking vegetable leaves.
Su Peisheng understood and ran to the kitchen to find Sui Qing. He had to get rid of the spoiling Sui Qing.
"Oh, Suiqing, last night you asked me to set a trap to catch fish in the water plants, but I don't know how to get out of it, and all the big fat fish are almost running away. Please save me quickly."
"You stupid fool! I thought you had taken it back this morning."
Sui Qing followed Su Sheng to find the trap, cursing. When he came back, there was only a silly little hound left in the farm, squatting in the corner and gnawing on a bone.
"Su Sheng!!" Sui Qing was furious and put her hands on her hips. "Where are Lin Shu and Chi Zheng? Where are they?"
"Auntie, you've made the tiles crack with your shouting! Ouch..."
Su Peisheng held his head in his hands and was beaten violently by the rough girl Sui Qing, crying and wailing.
At this time, in the shallow river, the sound of rocks being thrown into the water could be heard.
"Chi Zheng, look, there's a big fish flipping over right at your feet."
"I see." Yinzhen leaned over and threw the stream fish into the bamboo basket he carried with him.
"I want to eat fried river shrimp."
"Okay, I'll go catch some shrimp." Yinzhen leaned over and searched for traces of river shrimp among the soft silk and water chestnuts.
Chu Xian washed the wild grapes picked by Chi Zheng and handed him one first.
Yinzhen opened his lips and rolled the grape into his mouth to taste it.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard from the bushes.
After seeing the person with a bad face, Chu Xian subconsciously put Chi Zheng behind her.
"Who?" Yinzhen pulled Lin Shu behind him to protect her, holding her fingers tightly.
"Lin Shu! You bitch, you're the one who instigated Ling Mei to be unfilial to me. Today I'm going to tear your stinky mouth apart!"
A ferocious-looking old woman in green clothes with a ferocious face and a thick flesh rushed out of the dense forest, holding a hoe in her hand.
"Let's go." Chu Xian grabbed Chi Zheng's hand and ran away.
"Don't be afraid of her." Yinzhen turned around, drew his sword, and cut off the fierce woman's hoe.
"Murder! Someone come quickly! Lin Shu and her lover were having an affair in the deep mountains and forests. I caught them and want to kill them to silence them!"
Mrs. Zhang cried at the top of her lungs.
Soon, several mountain people who were collecting mountain products and hunting nearby surrounded Zhang Pozi.
"Wow, wow, wow, this is so unfair! These two are committing an indecent act right here under the Emperor's feet. My kind words of advice have only resulted in their deaths."
"Mrs. Zhang, if you dare to talk nonsense again, come and see!" Chu Xian was choked with anger. She hated it most when others slandered a woman's reputation.
If it were another timid village woman at this moment, she would have been confused by Mrs. Zhang's sweet talk, had her reputation tarnished, and would have committed suicide out of shame and anger.
"We're both unmarried, and we're both in love. How could there be any talk of an affair? And what are you doing sneaking around behind me?"
"Mom! Stop making trouble!" Lingmei and her husband rushed over after hearing the news.
"I'm sorry, Lin Shu." Ling Mei gave a look, and a burly farmer dragged Zhang away.
Zhang was not willing to surrender obediently. She threw a tantrum and cried as she tried to break free. In the blink of an eye, she ran away into the peach forest and disappeared.
"Boss, go find my mother quickly!" Lingmei urged anxiously.
"Lin Shu, I'll give you two chickens as a thank you gift in two days. Thank you very much. I'll send my mother to my second brother's house first."
Lingmei's eyes were full of apology, and Chu Xian nodded, not refusing the thank-you gift.
I can no longer have a close relationship with Lingmei.
After everyone dispersed, Chi Zheng held her hand tightly, and the two of them walked slowly to a sparsely populated area upstream of the stream.
"Shu'er, you shouldn't make close friends with Lingmei." Yinzhen reminded him gently.
"Yes, if she really wanted to thank me, she should have sent me a thank-you gift the day after I helped her out. Today, she refused to send me a chicken after two days. It's obviously an excuse."
"Hmph, I don't care about chickens. It's just that in my eyes, she will remain like that from now on." Chu Xian snorted angrily.
"Chi Zheng, go around the rocks on the left, there is a green pond where you can swim." Chu Xian pulled Chi Zheng towards the green pond.
"No, you have just recovered from a serious illness. You must not touch the cold pond water."
"It's nothing serious."
The two of them came to the edge of Qingtan together. Suddenly, a big rock flew from somewhere and landed directly at Chu Xian's feet.
"Who is it?" Chu Xian was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and shouted angrily. Suddenly, she found that several buzzing insects came out of the clod of earth at her feet.
She looked closely and was immediately scared to death. It turned out to be a black and yellow hornet.
"Shu'er, it's a hornet! Quickly jump into the pool to hide!"
Chi Zheng grabbed her hand and jumped straight into the green pond.
When Chu Xian turned around, she vaguely saw a piece of blue-gray clothing disappear into the peach forest.
"Damn it, it's Mrs. Zhang!"
"Hold your breath!" Yinzhen hugged Lin Shu tightly, and the two of them dived into the water to avoid the frenzied swarm of bees.
Summer clothes are thin and light, and they stick to the skin even more when soaked in water.
Yinzhen concentrated on observing the swarm of bees on the water surface. He was sure that the guards would handle it properly. He was not worried about her safety, but rather worried that she would get hurt by the cold water.
But he was disturbed by a pair of restless hands.
He couldn't help but laugh, and reluctantly lowered his head, holding her slender neck tightly and kissing her.
As the two were kissing and playing underwater, several dark shadows approached quietly.
Underwater, Yinzhen was extremely alert. Even when he was kissing Lin Shu and was in ecstasy, he was still paying attention to the movements around him. When he saw the guards appear, Yinzhen turned around and let Lin Shu face the shore with her back.
Chu Xian was kissing Chi Zheng passionately when he suddenly hugged her waist tightly and carried her out of Qingtan.
The two of them sat on the shore, all wet. Chu Xian pinched Chi Zheng's strong and narrow waist with a smile on her face.
Yinzhen was not surprised by Lin Shu's lively personality. He grabbed her soft hand and pressed it directly against his strong chest, letting her touch him enough so that he would not be seduced by the wild boy in the future.
He has been practicing martial arts for many years and has a strong physique. How could he not know that she likes his body? At this moment, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, flashing with desire, which was very cute.
His eyes inadvertently fell on her collar, and Yinzhen looked away with difficulty. She was wearing a crane-white robe today, but he didn't expect that she was wearing a goose-yellow undergarment underneath.
The twin lotus flowers embroidered on the undergarment are in full bloom and very beautiful, but it is not the lotus that is beautiful.
I've noticed that she's a bit plump, but I never thought she would be so... exciting.
Yinzhen's breathing became a little disordered, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He hated himself for being so vulnerable in front of her and having lost all his composure.
He lowered his head and took off his short coat, wrapping himself tightly in the beauty, not daring to look any closer.
If he takes one more look at her, he will definitely want her.
"Shu'er, would you like to go back?"
"I think I sprained my ankle. Can you help me find a stick?" Chu Xian rubbed her ankle in pain.
"Don't move."
Yinzhen leaned over anxiously and held up her swollen and dislocated ankle.
"Shu'er."
"Hmm..." Chu Xian was caught off guard and was kissed by Chi Zheng.
His kiss was fierce and urgent, no longer as restrained as before.
With a crisp sound, Chu Xian felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She subconsciously closed her lips and heard Chi Zheng's muffled groan of pain in her ears.
The dislocated joint was realigned and the severe pain in the ankle gradually subsided, but it still caused intermittent pain.
Chu Xian blushed and pushed him away.
"Humph! I thought some people really wanted to kiss me, but it turns out they were just trying to trick me."
"yes."
"What is it? Ah..." Before she could ask, he pressed down her shoulders and kissed her.
He is truly a gentleman. Even in that state, he was still able to stop his movements. Chu Xian's eyes were confused and she was dazed as she was carried on Chi Zheng's back, walking back under the bamboos, mist and moon.
His shoulders were solid and broad. Although he was a scholar, he was strong and powerful. He had the physique of a warrior, but he was not as sturdy and bulky as a warrior. He had thin and well-proportioned muscles, broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
Chu Xian likes all beautiful things, including handsome men. She was attracted to Chi Zheng at first, but later she gradually realized that his appearance was the least worth mentioning.
"What are you thinking about?" Yinzhen clasped his hands behind his back and clasped her legs.
"I'm thinking..." Chu Xian leaned close to his ear with a smile, bit his ear affectionately, and whispered: "I want to marry you soon."
"Okay." Yinzhen smiled and decided to advance the date of his wedding with Nara.
Chu Xian returned to the manor and immediately called Sui Qing over.
"Sui Qing, give that old, pissed-off woman, Mrs. Zhang, a good beating. Make sure she stays out of bed for a year or two."
Chu Xian was snorting angrily, and decided to settle all the new and old grudges together today.
If Mrs. Zhang dares to provoke me again, I will have her legs broken next time to see how arrogant she can be.
At the same time, Su Peisheng reported the news of the capture of Mrs. Zhang.
Yinzhen scoffed lightly, his tone nonchalant: "Kill."
Su Peisheng let out a sigh, turned around and made a gesture of wiping his neck outside the dark window, knowing that someone would take care of the aftermath.
Turning around and seeing Lin Shu coming gracefully, Su Peisheng immediately greeted her with a smile: "Hey, Lin Shu, our master is waiting for you to practice calligraphy. He has been waiting for you to come."
When Chu Xian heard about practicing calligraphy, she frowned with bitterness and hatred.
These days, Chi Zheng was supervising her in learning to read and write, and she felt like vomiting after writing so much.
It can be considered a small achievement.
When she felt lazy, she would sit in Chi Zheng's arms and act coquettishly, delaying the time for practicing calligraphy, and she usually succeeded.
That night, Chu Xian hummed and pretended to have a sore foot, and successfully escaped the danger.
At this moment, she snuggled in Chi Zheng's arms, listening to him tell stories in a soft voice, her hands also touching around restlessly.
No matter how unreasonable she was, he always laughed it off and ended up playing with her.
"Chi Zheng, I want to listen to the piano." Chu Xian looked at Chi Zheng with expectation.
She was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, but Chi Zheng was the opposite. He played the piano beautifully, even better than the prostitute her father bought at a high price.
"What song do you want to listen to?" Yinzhen raised his hand, and Su Peisheng had already moved the piano stand onto the bed.
"Everything you play is beautiful." Chu Xian felt a little sleepy and yawned repeatedly. She lay on her back on Chi Zheng's lap and played with the black jade pendant on his braid.
Chu Xian fell into a deep sleep accompanied by the melodious and clear music of the piano.
Su Peisheng, who was guarding outside the door, heard the piano music suddenly stop. He couldn't help but stick his head out and was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This girl Lin Shu actually used the Fourth Master as a tool to help her sleep again.
Every time the Fourth Master told her stories and played the piano, she would fall into a deep sleep. What was surprising was that the Master was not angry at all.
The moment the sheep-horn lamp behind the curtain was blown out, Su Peisheng tiptoed into the house, blew out the candle, and closed the door.
Sui Qing was sitting under the porch combing her hair when she saw Su Sheng coming out of the room and squatting by the door to keep watch. She couldn't help but frown.
I always feel that it is inappropriate for Su Sheng to be at the door.
Where else could you find a male servant who would serve his master so closely? Even when there was a woman in the room, Su Sheng would go in and out without any hesitation.
Normally, male servants were not allowed to enter the rear quarters where female members of the household were present without permission.
Unless he is a eunuch.
Forget it. There is no owner of this manor, so there is no need to be so hypocritical.
At noon on the second day, Chu Xian was practicing archery with Chi Zheng when Sui Qing hurried back from outside the manor.
"Lin Shu, that old woman Zhang fell into a wild lake and drowned last night. When her body was found, it was completely swollen and unrecognizable."
"Why did she drown? Mrs. Zhang is from the water town of Wuzhong. Everyone knows that she is a fish in the waves." Chu Xian's eyes were full of shock.
"People who are most likely to drown are often self-righteous tide-riders." Yinzhen revealed the cause of the old woman's death in one sentence.
"That's true." Chu Xian nodded in agreement.
"Sui Qing, if Ling Mei invites us to a funeral banquet, you can ask others how much money to give, and we can just follow the crowd. If she doesn't want to invite us, there's no need to rush to give money."
After Chu Xian finished speaking, she released the arrow and easily hit the bull's eye.
......
In the blink of an eye, it was the Double Ninth Festival. Chu Xian was preparing to climb a high place with Chi Zheng to see the distant view. She had already prepared the dogwood, but she was shocked to hear the bad news and almost cried out loud.
“How could it be!”
The damn Imperial Observatory was so useless that it spread rumors to confuse the public and moved up her wedding date to the third day of May next year.
hateful!
"Why do you look so sad?" Yinzhen pinned a dogwood branch on her hair.
"News came from the mansion saying that the girl's wedding date has been moved up to the third day of May next year. Everything needs to be prepared in advance. It's annoying."
Chu Xian had a sad face and plucked off the red dogwood fruit to vent her anger.
"It may not be a bad thing." A smile flashed across Yinzhen's lips.
"There's no way I'll get any good thing." Chu Xian felt miserable and raised her hand to put the dogwood branch behind Chi Zheng's ear.
Trying to find a way to cheer herself up, she spun softly in front of Chi Zheng, "The new dress I made yesterday has the same dark pattern as your dark blue gown. Doesn't it look good?"
"Hey, this red dress is so bright." Su Peisheng said suddenly, and looked at the Fourth Master meaningfully.
Yinzhen's eyes fell on Lin Shu's red clothes and he remained silent.
She likes to wear red clothes.
He could afford to give her any silk or satin, no matter how splendid and dazzling it was, but he could not allow her to wear bright red.
She could only wear pink, peach, crimson, bright red, crabapple red, rouge red, cherry red, and even fuchsia which was second only to red, but she was not allowed to wear red.
Although the concubine is noble, she is not allowed to wear bright red. This is an unwritten rule, just like the Khan wears bright yellow, and the prince, even though he is the crown prince, can only wear apricot yellow.
"I just like wearing red clothes. I don't mind if it's not bright red." Chu Xian said arrogantly.
She has been bound by red tape and rules for many years. If even the color of clothes she wears is criticized, what is the point of living?
"Does it look good, Chi Zheng?" Chu Xian smiled shyly at him.
"It looks good." Yinzhen took her hand and clasped his fingers together.
After she entered the mansion, as long as she didn't wear it out to show off in public, it would be harmless if she only wore it in the room for him to see.
Even if I wear red clothes in the mansion, what's the harm?
On the mountain path, two figures, one in black and one in red, walked away together. Su Peisheng and Sui Qing stared at each other.
"Oh, October 30th is our young master's birthday. I'm worried about what gift to give him. Could you give me some ideas?"
Su Peisheng muttered casually.
Sui Qing curled his lips and sarcastically said, "You want to tell Lin Shu, right? Why are you beating around the bush with me?"
Su Peisheng chuckled dryly: "How can that be? I really can't make up my mind."
"If you can't make up your mind, just give him some silver. Anyway, you'll be giving out your monthly allowance in two days. It's just the right amount to give your son a big red envelope as a gift. He can buy whatever he likes."
Although Sui Qing said that she was annoying Su Sheng, after returning from climbing high, she still reported to the girl that Chi Zheng's birthday was on the 30th of next month.
"Eh...October 30th? Is there something important happening on this date? It sounds familiar."
Chu Xian took off the blued earrings, always feeling that October 30th was a very special day, but she couldn't remember why.
"Ahem...October 30th is also the Fourth Prince's birthday."
Sui Qing reminded in a low voice.
"Oh." Chu Xian's tone was impatient, and she couldn't even help rolling her eyes.
Ever since she got engaged to the Fourth Prince, she had to learn and recite everything about his preferences word for word until she knew them by heart.
Her father also forced her to write down everything about the Fourth Prince's preferences word for word.
Even if she didn't want to, everything about the Fourth Prince had been forcibly imprinted into her memory, lingering like a nightmare.
"The Fourth Prince and I haven't even gotten married yet, so why would I bother with these trivial matters? What does it have to do with me?"
After saying this, Chu Xian happily went to find Chi Zheng to catch fireflies.
That night, the stars were twinkling under the window. Chu Xian was completely sleepless and was thinking about what gift to give to Chi Zheng.
Giving her something too expensive would not be commensurate with her status as a maid, and giving her something ordinary would be an injustice to Chi Zheng.
She tossed and turned, racking her brains, until the moon set and the crows cried. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, quickly took out the scissors, and cut off a lock of her hair.
"Girl!" Sui Qing was shocked. Manchus were not allowed to cut their hair unless they lost their parents or during a national mourning period.
If a girl is seen cutting her hair without permission, it is a serious crime.
"Suiqing, there's no need to talk about this. Bring me the amulet I got from Tanzhe Temple on the first day of the new year."
Sui Qing took out the amulet with a worried look on her face.
"Suiqing, can you weave a love knot? Teach me."
"Can you teach me how to embroider Han Chinese Su embroidery? Actually, Manchu embroidery is not bad either."
Chu Xian is a Manchu girl, and Manchu girls only need to learn Manchu embroidery.
The Manchus conquered the world on horseback, galloping across the boundless white mountains and black waters outside the Great Wall. Their embroidery skills are naturally colorful and have strong contrasts, but they are not as exquisite as the Han embroidery.
Chi Zheng is a Han Chinese and may not understand Manchu embroidery.
The most important thing is that time is too tight and it is too late for her to learn Suzhou embroidery.
She deliberately showed off her skills by embroidering the purse using four needlework techniques: flat embroidery, gold embroidery, cut embroidery, and gauze embroidery.
So the next day, she had an embroidery frame in her hand and hid in the east wing to embroider purses.
"Lin Shu! Is Lin Shu here?"
A rough, unfamiliar shout came from outside the fence, and then the gate was kicked open.
