Chapter 91 Song Yuxi will...
After Song Yuxi brought the woman back, he hired the best medical worker, but the woman was still hanging on.
As soon as Zhou Zhishan entered the room, he saw Song Yuxi leaning back in the armchair with a blank look on his face, wondering what he was thinking about.
He carried a dress and limped towards her, saying, "Wu Niang, I brought a dress with me. Would you like to change into it?"
Song Yuxi looked back but said nothing.
Zhou Zhishan had been working so hard these past few days. His eyes were dark, his face was tired, and his energy was quite weak. Seeing that Song Yuxi was silent, he said to himself, "That's all. I'll help you change."
As she spoke, she put down her dress and helped Song Yuxi change her clothes.
When he took off his coat, he saw a bloodstain on Song Yuxi's collar. He frowned and pushed open her collar, only to see her shoulders and neck were smooth. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought of the seriously injured woman in the backyard.
"I heard Wu Niang brought back another mother and daughter."
Song Yuxi said: "Yes."
Zhou Zhishan said, "I remember Wu Niang didn't go out at night. Where did you pick up this mother and daughter?" There was a hint of untraceable inquiry in his words.
Song Yuxi said bluntly, "I went out to avoid your people in the mansion. I saved the girl from your knife last night."
“…” Zhou Zhishan paused while dressing her, then continued as if nothing had happened.
Song Yuxi said, "That woman wasn't a landless wanderer, but a decent woman living at the end of the street. Her husband drowned a few days ago. You just handled this case, Alang, have you forgotten?"
Zhou Zhishan said, "So that lady is his widow. I thought she was one of those stowaways, Wu Niang. You don't know, there have been many stowaways on the merchant ships recently. They are all murderous bandits who pretended to be stateless wanderers and stowed away here."
"It was pitch dark last night, and I had no idea a good citizen would sneak onto the ship. I accidentally hurt her. I'll go apologize for her soon."
Song Yuxi said: "Yeah."
Zhou Zhishan did not ask a single question about Song Yuxi's identity. He just tried to cover up the murder last night. His hands were shaking so badly that he failed to tie the laces several times.
Song Yuxi gently pressed the back of his hand with her cold fingertips, then brushed it away and tied it herself.
Zhou Zhishan was like a frightened bird. After Song Yuxi brushed his hand away, he felt a sense of loss in his heart and was extremely nervous. But when he saw Song Yuxi stand up and cooperate to change into the dress he had prepared, his expression became as if he was about to cry.
He said with a very twisted smile, "Follow Ah Lu, she will protect you. The conditions for taking the water route are a bit rough, so I have to inconvenience you. Once we land, I'll take care of things here, and then I'll follow you."
Song Yuxi suddenly said, "You've already known that I'm not an ordinary person, right, Alang?"
Zhou Zhishan suddenly looked up, his face pale as he said, "I don't care!" He dragged his sick leg forward quickly and hugged Song Yuxi tightly, fearing that she would fly away like she did last night. "Wu Niang, I don't care! We are husband and wife, married by the will of heaven and earth. I only know that you are my wife and I am your husband!"
He wiped his face, calmed down and said, "Wu Niang, we can talk about other things after we settle down. Time is running out."
Zhou Zhishan had a hard time getting those people away. They would be back soon, so he had to send Wu Niang away quickly.
Song Yuxi felt bitter in her heart. She followed his words and followed her maid A'lu through the secret passage. As she left, she said, "Ah Lang, I've said before, I love you as a person. Nothing else matters. As long as we can live a good life together, I'll be satisfied."
Unfortunately, you still don’t understand.
Song Yuxi held the vase containing the golden osmanthus twigs in his arms, turned around and followed A Lu, his back revealing a sense of determination.
Zhou Zhishan felt relieved after seeing Song Yuxi leave the house through the side door with his servants.
His mind was full of what Song Yuxi said before she left: Wu Niang still loved him and was willing to live with him.
That's enough, that's enough...
Zhou Zhishan fell to the ground, curled up like a child, and hugged his head.
No, that’s not enough. His good image was still ruined in Wu Niang’s heart. Wu Niang must be extremely disappointed. He is a failed husband.
He still needs to work hard to restore his image in Wu Niang's heart, so that Wu Niang will not hate him and he will be worthy of Wu Niang.
But it doesn't matter. Wu Niang still loves her. Once they start a new life, somewhere where no one knows him, he will reform himself and become a good husband praised by everyone. Wu Niang will definitely like her even more. He still has time, so he can take his time. Wu Niang will not abandon him...
His expression gradually became ferocious, and he smashed his fists madly against the hard ground, punch after punch, "Ha..."
It's all their fault! Why did they let him silence her? Why didn't they do it themselves? Don't they have anyone else? They all deserve to die! He was so obedient, why didn't they let his Wu Niang go?
Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it—
What if Wu Niang doesn't want him anymore? How much does Wu Niang know?
They all deserve to die.
Veins bulged on Zhou Zhishan's forehead, and the rationality in his eyes gradually disappeared.
The light in front of my eyes suddenly dimmed.
Is it dark?
Zhou Zhishan suddenly woke up and felt a pain on the back of his hand. He suddenly realized that he had just hit the ground with his soft fist without caring about his life, and the back of his hand must have been covered in blood.
He stood up tremblingly and groped in the dark for the candlestick and tinder. He found the tinder, but couldn't blow it to light. Growing increasingly impatient, Zhou Zhishan impatiently reached for the tinder, only to be repulsed by the intense heat. The tinder was on fire.
Zhou Zhishan stroked his burned palm and suddenly realized that maybe it was not because it was dark, but because he was blind.
After this thought was verified, he suddenly shouted: "Come! Come! Come quickly! Please ask the doctor to come, please ask the doctor to come!"
"No, no——" He couldn't help but see, how could a blind man be worthy of Wu Niang?
"Someone come quickly! Someone come——"
"Ha, ha..." He gasped, almost gritting his teeth. He must not go blind, he must not.
After sending off the merchant ship and the goods, he must escape successfully before they kill him. Wu Niang is still waiting for him.
Those losers will definitely like it when they find out about the surprise I left for them.
"Hahahaha——" He thought about it and started laughing.
My hand was suddenly grabbed by someone, and there was no sound in my ear, so quiet. If it was someone from my family, it wouldn't be so quiet.
"Get out of here!" Zhou Zhishan thought that someone was coming to assassinate him, and he was overwhelmed with panic.
He casually wiped a candlestick, pulled out the candle on the stand, revealing the sharp base, grabbed a man's collar with his backhand, and stabbed him in the head.
The base of the candlestick is very thin, and it can easily penetrate the human brain. When it is pulled out, blood flows out like a thin bamboo tube. If a person's brain is injured, he will lose his ability to move in a short period of time and even die.
Zhou Zhishan sneered, "That's all you can do."
He waved the candlestick wildly, killing everyone he met. These idiots must have been scared and no one dared to get close to him.
Little did he know that there was only dead silence in his ears.
The servants frantically called out to Zhou Zhishan, trying to bring him back to his senses, but their master was yelling and screaming like he was in a nightmare, killing anyone he caught, completely unlike his usual gentle and polite self.
The servants rushed out of the room one after another. Zhou Zhishan couldn't catch anyone, so he ran out too. The yard was filled with screams.
But after a while, Zhou Zhishan suddenly stopped. He stared at the blood on his palm, threw the candlestick onto the hard bluestone bricks, and listened to the harsh sound of the collision. Zhou Zhishan laughed again.
The servants in the yard looked at the corpses all over the ground, feeling sad. Their county magistrate seemed to be crazy, but not crazy.
Zhou Zhishan straightened his messy clothes and calmly told someone to clean up the mess. But within his calm eyes, there was a sinister wave.
.
The surface of the river is calm, but there are undercurrents surging beneath the surface.
In addition to the maid A'lu, there was also a boatman rowing the boat.
Song Yuxi sat on the boat, his head covered with a veil, his eyes looking at the river through the thin veil. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
Seeing that Song Yuxi's emotions were getting high, A Lu comforted her, "Madam, something happened recently. Weinan County is no longer safe. That's why I want to send you away to avoid the danger. Once the murderer from a few days ago is apprehended, the county will be safe. Then I can resign and be with you."
Song Yuxi said: "Well, where are we going?"
Ah Lu said, "The master has bought a house in Yangzhou, which is as prosperous as Chang'an. Madam will definitely be able to live comfortably there. When the rainy season comes, we will go to Yizhou to avoid the rain. However, the climate outside is not as good as that in Guanzhong after all. I am sorry to bother you, Madam."
Song Yuxi murmured, "Yangzhou is not bad either. It's fine to be in Yangzhou."
The golden osmanthus in the vase in her arms was taken care of remarkably well by her. At this moment, all the leaves had fallen off, and clusters of flower buds had grown out. The delicate flower buds held their heads high, full of vitality, waiting to bloom.
.
At noon that day, the murderer who murdered Gao Changshi and his group was found. It was a bandit who had smuggled here on a merchant ship. In order to rob them of their money, they killed Gao Changshi and his group halfway. Afterwards, they pretended to be stateless vagrants and hid on the ship for many days.
After these people were captured by the county magistrate, he executed them at the ferry in front of everyone at an extremely fast speed. The blood was all over the ground and could not be washed away.
Soon this place returned to its former prosperity.
Merchant ships began to travel back and forth, and the goods on the ships were shipped to Chang'an in batches.
Just as several ships were preparing to unload, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark thunderclouds swept in at lightning speed, covering the sky.
The thunder rumbled and the lightning flashed like silver dragons, galloping and dancing in the clouds, appearing and disappearing.
When the sky darkened, Zhou Zhishan's heart stopped beating, but when he found out that it was just an ordinary change in the weather, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The symptoms he experienced this morning really made him feel scared.
Later, he consulted a doctor, who said that he had developed this symptom due to overwork caused by alternating day and night for several consecutive days, and that he just needed to rest well.
Today is the day for unloading, so nothing can go wrong, otherwise it will delay his time in finding Wu Niang.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhishan shouted, "Keep going! Speed up!"
There were a total of four merchant ships for him to supervise, two of which were loaded with goods bound for Chang'an, and the other two were loaded with goods from Chang'an to other places.
Just follow the process to deposit the goods and it will be quick.
The workers under him were working hard to carry the goods with their bare chests. Zhou Zhishan felt that they were not moving fast enough, but he knew that nothing could be accomplished in a hurry, so he could only wait anxiously.
Just a little faster, just a little faster.
Thunder roared, and dazzling white light streaked across the sky, blinding people. The sky grew darker and darker, and a rainstorm was about to pour down at any moment.
If it really rains, we will definitely not be able to unload the goods today.
Zhou Zhishan secretly hoped for a quicker turn, perhaps because the heavens were against him. Suddenly, a servant arrived and hurriedly reported, "Master, something bad has happened! Someone has been arrested in the mansion! I heard it's an official from Chang'an, ordered to investigate the case of Gao Changshi!"
But the murderer was executed not long ago.
The murderer was executed as soon as he was caught, and Zhou Zhishan couldn't wait to open the ferry to escort the goods before the bloodstains were cleaned up. It sounded weird. If he went back to Zhou Mansion now, there would be only one result.
Zhou Zhishan's brows were gloomy as he ordered, "Find a way to hold them back, hurry up!"
"yes!"
It’s too late. I can only find a way to escape today.
There was another loud roar of thunder, which seemed to resound through the heavens and the earth with a long hoarse cry.
Zhou Zhishan thought he had misheard, but soon another long cry came through the clouds.
"Plop--" a drop of rain fell, and the people on the pier stopped and looked up at the sky blankly.
I saw a long, pitch-black dragon-like creature poking its head out of the clouds.
It turned out that what fell to the ground was not rain, but saliva dripping from the mouth of that thing.
I saw something in the sky raise its head, and a long moan rolled out from its deep throat. The sound was like a huge bell, suddenly ringing in the depths of the clouds, with the clang of metal knocking, shaking people's hearts.
"There's a monster—"
After three long roars, the thing instantly began to surge and roll in the clouds, as if it was about to dive down to the ground in the next moment.
The people scattered like birds and beasts. Those on the merchant ships rushed to the shore, and those at the pier ran towards the county. In short, it was better to stay away from the Wei River.
Zhou Zhishan's forehead was bulging with veins, and he wished he could shoot the demon in the sky to death with an arrow. He tried to stop the fleeing laborers, "Come back! Don't run!"
However, no one listened to him. Zhou Zhishan felt like his lungs were about to explode, his head was buzzing, and bloodshot gradually filled his eyeballs.
At this moment, an extremely thin silver thread was put around his neck and suddenly tightened. The silver thread tightly gripped his flesh and blood, bringing out a circle of blood. Zhou Zhishan froze instantly.
"I've caught you, Zhou Mingfu." The girl's clear and pleasant voice echoed in her ears, like a ghost from hell.
Zhou Zhishan heard the familiar voice and said solemnly, "It's you."
"Yes, it's me."
Zhou Zhishan couldn't turn his head, so Chen Qing poked her head out and stared at him with a smile. Next to her, a young man in red appeared, his expression cold.
He rolled his eyes and immediately said, "If you dare to move again, I won't mind taking your head off and separating you and your Wu Niang from each other."
Zhou Zhishan immediately gave up his evil intentions.
"Yes, it seems that Mr. Ming still values his life very much."
