Before the old maid could speak, Duan Jiuniang opened her mouth and said lightly, "Because of my sister."
"When I was alone in the war, I went to the north. I didn't have anything to do... I have a twin sister, who has been identical since childhood, only my parents can tell the difference. When I was five or six years old, my hometown was hit by a disaster. I couldn't survive, so I sold the two of us sisters. On the way, I took advantage of the unpreparedness, broke the straw rope tied to my body, and jumped out of the car that was pulling the animals. When I wanted to pull my sister, But she wouldn't let me pull it, stepped on my finger and told me to get out, saying that she would never see me... She also said that my parents sold us because I was not likable, and it hurt her, and she hated me to death. "
"I had a cunning temper since I was a child, and I was often reprimanded by adults for not being as smart and lovable as my sister. At that time, I was young and ignorant. After hearing this, I believed her. I hated it so much that I ran away crying on the spot. I understand, she was afraid that Ren Ya would come back, and I couldn't run away, so let me go quickly. But there are so many people, where can I find another little girl? I never knew whether she was alive or dead all these years."
"It wasn't until I was drinking with someone that I happened to hear a friend from afar mentioning that he had seen a woman in the north. He thought it was me in a trance, and he stepped forward to say hello, and then he knew he was wrong. It is said that the person looked very similar to me. It's just that the look is very different."
Duan Jiuniang had just gone crazy. Wu Chuchu and Zhou Fei had already given up communicating with her. Who knew that she would get better now. When she mentioned her fellow sisters, she spoke clearly, spoke in a well-organized manner, and even looked a little serious. Zhou Fei felt that her blood vessels were smoother, and she knew that Duan Jiuniang didn't use much force to restrain her acupuncture point.
"When I heard it, I knew that he might have met my sister who had been cut off from music for 20 years, and I hurriedly asked him when and where he met, because after a long time, he could only give a rough idea. , I had to go all the way north and ask around, who knew that when I met a dog named Cao hurting people, he had a ghost in his own heart, and everyone who saw him suspected that he was coming against him. I was so embarrassed…”
"I didn't expect to meet him."
When Duan Jiuniang said this, her normal expression just now returned to a trance.
Wu Chuchu instinctively picked up the bowl again, as if she was carrying a shield in front of her. Zhou Fei had just felt conscious with one hand, and hung to the side without daring to move. The dimly lit hut was silent for a long time, the old maid was heating a pot of hot water, and the two girls stared at the lunatic who was ill at some point with bated breath.
Duan Jiuniang should be good-looking when she is young. Young girls, as long as they have spirit, look clean and beautiful. At this moment, she stared at the light of the oil lamp, as if she was not afraid of scorching her eyes.
She had probably completely forgotten that there were other people in the world, and was engrossed in the old days.
Suddenly, Duan Jiuniang burst into tears without warning.
This "Ow" sound made everyone else in the room tremble with fright.
The madman doesn't know how to control, and her mouth can be described as a ghost crying and wolf howling, and she just cries is not enough, she grabs the bronze mirror on the dressing table ruthlessly. The bronze mirror in her palm was like boiled noodles, twisted into a twist, and died "jiji".
Before Duan Jiuniang had finished venting, she slapped her palm against the wall again, and the whole house shook.
Wu Chuchu and Zhou Fei were stunned, but they didn't expect that she would not even say hello, and changed another crazy method without authorization!
Seeing that she was about to smash the house into the foundation, the experienced servant girl hurriedly shouted, "Madam, the young master is still in the house!"
I don't know what incantation was in this sentence, but as soon as she read it out, Duan Jiuniang, whose eyes were blood red, stood there stiffly, as if she had been caught in the immobilization method. After a while, she roared and ducked into the courtyard. A series of muffled noises came from the dark yard, and it was unknown whether it was stone or wood that had been poisoned by her.
The empty bowl in Wu Chuchu's hand was almost unsteady, so he caught it by himself, and his face turned red and white and said, "Yes, I'm sorry."
The servant girl subdued the big devil, calmly packed up the tableware and chopsticks, waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, she will not come in after listening to that sentence."
Wu Chuchu asked, "You mean the young master..."
"It's the son of Mrs. Duan's eldest sister, that is, the eldest young master in this mansion." The maid said, "Mrs. Duan has been interested in Li Daxia along the way, and her temper has always been straight, and she can't hold back to anyone who has friendship. I told it to Daxia Li, but he just laughed and said, 'I am an old gangster who is not confused, and my daughter is almost the same age as you. Might as well, stop making a fool of yourself', Mrs. Duan repeatedly said that even if he was in his 70s and 80s, he wouldn't care, but Li Daxia sincerely refused, only saying that he could not forget his original partner, and that she was regarded as a junior, and there was no wrongdoing. That lady has a strong temperament, how could she endure such repeated rejections, and parted ways with him in a fit of anger."
"Mrs. Duan took me, and there was nowhere else to go, so she had to continue to search for the trace of her eldest sister. It stands to reason that it was not looking for a needle in a haystack, how could I find it? But who would have known that after more than three months, it was such a coincidence, When an old beggar along the street asked for directions, the old beggar finished pointing the way, and suddenly said, "There is a lady who sells wine in Huarong County. She is exactly the same as the girl. At first glance, I thought it was her." Mrs. Duan listened. At first he was overjoyed, and then he became suspicious. He took him and asked him again and again. The old beggar said that he was a disciple of the Beggar Gang and was entrusted by others to help him. Only then did we know that it was not a coincidence, it was Daxia Li who was worried and secretly After following us for a long time, knowing that she was looking for someone, she asked many well-informed friends to help her."
This was the first time Zhou Fei heard about the old village owner in detail. She only felt that her grandfather was different from what she had imagined. The person who held the extremely fierce sword was actually gentle in temperament.
She thought about the snow-breaking knife trick that Li Jinrong taught her, and said to herself, "Can a gentle person be invincible?"
"That's it, Mrs. Duan found her sister who had been separated for many years, not to mention the feeling of meeting the lost relatives. Soon, Mrs. Duan found out that her sister was actually working as an outer room for a rich boy. Mrs. Duan Doing things is entirely up to her own likes and dislikes, which is quite deviant. Once you know it, you will know it. I don't feel anything, and I don't feel ashamed. On the contrary, seeing the two of them's love and concubine aroused her feelings for Daxia Li. Now that she has found her sister, her long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, so she has devoted herself to pondering the swordsmanship of Daxia Li, and wants to create her own set of kung fu to defeat him, so that he can be taken back by force."
Zhou Fei didn't know if anyone else had the honor to hear the story of the eldest girl trying to rob her grandfather. Anyway, she was so embarrassed that she fidgeted.
The servant girl said: "She will go to the middle of Shu every three or five months to provoke her, and she will lose once and lose once. It seems that she intends to spend her life."
Zhou Fei: "…"
This disgusting temper seems to have nothing to do with being crazy.
"Later, Mrs. Duan went to look for Li Daxia as usual, and she accidentally clashed with a group of people on the way. She heard that group of people reported their family, saying that they belonged to 'Beidou' Lian Zhen, and she remembered that she had eaten under Beidou. The big loss, but he was angry, so he acted provocatively on impulse. Who knows that this Lianzhen is different from others. He is a despicable and shameless villain. If he can't beat him, he will poison him. Daoer, seeing that the boat was about to capsize in the gutter, it was Li Daxia who came again—it turned out that she ran to the Forty-eight Villages every three days. The people from the dark piles at the foot of the mountain had already known her, and when she saw her fighting with others, she immediately sent the news back. "
"Li Daxia forced the poison out for her, and reprimanded her for the first time. Madam Duan was full of joy when she saw him rescued, but before she could show it, she was poured a basin of cold water on her face, so she ran away angrily. When I feel wronged, I always have to find my relatives, but when she came back, her sister just gave birth, and Mrs. Duan met Hong before she could congratulate her."
Wu Chuchu said "Yeah".
"Zhu's gang of bastards - oh, they are the prodigal sons who are close to Mrs. Duan, and now they are the shitty county magistrates - early empathy and don't fall in love with some crazy bees and butterflies, from the birth of their own son, to The child's mother died, and she didn't even look at it. Madam Duan was so angry that she wanted to kill the Zhu family, but her eldest sister refused to let her go. Before she died, she forced her to swear a poisonous oath. Article, she must not trouble Young Master Zhu, let alone hurt him, otherwise she will be punished by thousands of knives under the Nine Springs, and she will never be born again."
Zhou Fei blurted out, "...Is she crazy too? Why is this madness still inherited from the ancestors?"
After she finished speaking, she realized that the dumb hole in her throat had been flushed out, and she coughed twice hurriedly.
The maid glanced at her and said, "Oh, you girl, how do you know about these men and women?"
Wu Chuchu asked, "But it's too embarrassing to make such an oath. Has Mrs. Duan agreed?"
"Then why don't you agree?" the servant said, "It will take more than ten days, and when we have all buried the people, the Zhu family will come, saying that their blood cannot be left outside, and they have to take them back. For the sake of the child, she was willing to use a sedan chair to carry the child's mother into the house. Madam Duan was furious, but she had a plan. At first glance, the sisters were still carved out of a mold, so she concealed it. When her sister died, she 'married' her sister into Zhu's house. With her skills, she can walk sideways, and no one can take advantage of her. Since she can't hurt the boy named Zhu, she made up her mind to marry Zhu. The family is messed up to the point of restlessness."
When Zhou Fei heard such a "wonderful" idea, apart from "sick", she really couldn't utter a second emotion.
"You still don't understand." The old maid shook her head and said, "Half of her bad idea is for herself, and half is for Li Daxia. She took out the wedding dress that her sister had been sewing many years ago, and sent a letter to Li Daxia, There is no cause and effect in advance, only that he wants to get married, and there is a bead missing from his wedding dress, so I beg him to help find it."
"There has been no news from the middle of Shu. Li Daxia is a very polite person. He can't do anything that he knows about his friend's marriage but ignores it. He must be angry and jealous. Madam Duan is very proud and plans to wait for the result. When I came to the Zhu family, I went to the middle of Shu to find him to clarify, but after a while, just one night before the Zhu family came to pick me up, a young girl suddenly came to the family, claiming to be the daughter of Li Daxia. "
Zhou Fei asked, "Is that my mother?"
"It must be," said the old maid. "The girl brought a bag of beads, saying that it was a gift that her father asked her to give when she was dying."
Zhou Fei sat upright involuntarily and said, "The elders in the family have never mentioned this to me, please tell me the details."
"According to Miss Li, Daxia Li was first plotted against a poison called 'Tangsi', and then he was besieged by Greedy Wolf, Jumen, Pojun and others. He fought all the way and slipped south. He had traveled dozens of miles to those stray dogs and killed an unknown number of people. Those northern dogs just couldn’t surround him, but they also exacerbated the poisoning. He forced his way back to the village, but the poisoning still died.” The old servant woman sighed. After a long while, he said again, "I saw Mrs. Duan's expression was wrong at the time. When Miss Li left, she was like a demon, and kept saying that she killed Daxia Li herself."
There was no expression on Zhou Fei's face. She couldn't tell what she was thinking. Wu Chuchu asked, "Then why?"
The maid said: "I only realized later from her insane words that the last time she saw Li Daxia, the poison she was poisoned with was 'Tangsi'. At that time, Beidou clearly brought a large number of people, but saw her conflict with Lianzhen. But if you can't hide it, it's a long-planned plan to use her to lure Li Daxia out. The tangled silk is definitely not an ordinary poison. He scolded her uncharacteristically, drove her away, and led the enemy to the south."
Wu Chuchu let out an "ah", and the tears began to spin.
Zhou Fei, however, recited the name of the initiator of "Lianzhen" twice in her mind, remembering what Xie Yun had told her, "Mr. Gan Tang was besieging the generals under the pseudo-emperor in Zhongnan Mountain, beheading the Beidou 'Lianzhen' and hanging his head. Three days in the tower," always felt that what Zhou Yitang did was no coincidence.
Wu Chuchu quietly wiped her eyes and asked, "What happened to Mrs. Duan then?"
"Mrs. Duan heard that Miss Li was going to go to Beidu for revenge, so she entrusted the young master to me and went with her. The Li family was very grateful to her, because Li Daxia never mentioned the truth of his poisoning to others, but if the fake emperor was so good Killing people has long since broken their corpses into thousands of pieces. After they went, they finally returned without success. I see that Mrs. Duan has been in a trance since she came back from Beidu. The surnamed Zhu didn't even bother to pay attention to her 'adding head' like a child's mother. She lived quietly in the backyard, so she practiced qigong hard. Unexpectedly, she pushed herself too much, and gradually became crazy. At first, it was just an occasional demonic obstacle, and then it became worse every day, and even Zhu’s family knew that there was a mad woman in this courtyard, and it became the current situation.”
The oil lamp jumped, Zhou Fei listened to such a long and ups and downs story, and her mind vaguely connected the cause and effect of the decades. The five flavors were mixed for a while, and the irritability and hatred in her voice subsided a little, she remembered. A few days ago, I swore that I would send Wu Chuchu back, but when I was so angry, I ignored it, and even put aside what kind of onion Wu Chuchu was. It's better to fart, not only is it not good, but even loses the face of the ancestors.
After the old maid finished speaking, seeing that it was getting dark, she ordered the two of them to rest early and went to sleep in the wing. The lunatic Duan Jiuniang calmed down at some point, and hung herself upside down on the big branch in the courtyard, motionless, and followed the bat a pose.
All the acupoints in Zhou Fei's body burst open, and she can move freely.
Wu Chuchu was afraid that she would run out to compete with the crazy woman again, but she didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't dare to persuade her, so she just stared at her.
Zhou Fei rubbed her chin in embarrassment, and said to her, "You rest, I... what... don't cause trouble."
Wu Chuchu nodded on the surface, but he couldn't believe it in his heart. He didn't dare to fall asleep when he lay down.
Zhou Fei could naturally hear that she was pretending to be asleep, her heart calmed down, and she felt more and more guilty. She remembered that she had been restless and delusional for the past few days. Sitting up next to her, she concentrated on using the method Yu Lao taught her to hone her snowbreaker.
This time, Zhou Fei seemed to be in a state of concentration. Zhou Fei put all the hustle and bustle aside, she had no distractions, and the nine styles of Po Xue had been completed in her heart. Only then did she open her eyes, the horizon It has turned white. Zhou Fei slowly let out a breath, she felt her chest loosen for some reason, and she felt a little more enlightened. She was about to stand up and walk around when she suddenly found Duan Jiuniang standing silently in the shadows, peeping at her like a ghost. .
Zhou Fei was stunned for a moment, then greeted, "Senior..."
Duan Jiuniang suddenly jumped in front of her, lowered her voice, and asked in a daze, "Are you just practicing your sword?"
Zhou Fei thought in surprise: "How does she know?"
Before she could answer, Duan Jiuniang asked in a warm voice, "Who taught you to practice?"
Zhou Fei answered honestly, "My mother."
"Hey, what's the point of practicing with your mother? Why is she willing to train you?" Duan Jiuniang said with a smile, "Would you like to practice with your grandma?"
Zhou Fei tried her best to ignore the word "grandmother", and she had to say no, "I..."
Before she could speak, Duan Jiuniang suddenly shot like electricity, sealing three big acupoints in her chest one after another.
