The wife of two taels of silver
Chapter 42 Tragedy
Lin Haitang's family are all obsessed with looks, and Xiaobai is no exception.
Ever since Xiaobai saw Liu Wanwan, he wanted to rub against her legs, but considering Liu Wanwan's health, he didn't let her get close last night.
When Xiaobai saw Liu Wanwan this morning, he wanted to rub against her. He looked at Lin Haitang's expression, got her consent, and pounced on her with a roar.
He hummed and moaned while rubbing against her, and Lin Haitang couldn't bear to watch it.
Liu Wanwan also likes Xiaobai very much. She has never raised a small animal before, but now that she has Xiaobai, she can’t let it go.
"Aunt Wanwan," Gu Zhilan looked at Liu Wanwan shyly and said, "You are even more beautiful than yesterday!"
Lin Haitang came over with a smile and said, "Because my aunt's health has improved, she doesn't need to be sick anymore."
Gu Zhilan said, "Then my aunt should never get sick and always look this beautiful."
Children's words are always innocent and cute.
Liu Wanwan hugged Gu Zhilan and said, "Okay, thanks to our Lanlan's good wishes, I hope you will never get sick."
After breakfast, Xiaobai took the children to school, Zhang Ben and Liu Sanyou went to work in the fields, and Lin Haitang took Zhao Xiangjun and Liu Wanwan straight to the county town.
"Come on, I'll take you shopping. You can eat whatever you want and buy whatever you want!" Lin Haitang waved his hand and was about to take the two of them out.
"Ah?" Zhao Xiangjun said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "But then there's no one to make lunch. It's easy for the two men, but what about the two children?"
Lin Haitang thought something serious was going on and said, "That's easy. We have some prepared cold dishes at home. We also have half a pig's face, and there's both noodles and rice in the jar. They won't starve."
"Let's go, sister-in-law, don't worry about it." Lin Haitang, with a big belly, happily got on the carriage, holding one person in each hand.
Zhao Xiangjun was still driving. Liu Wanwan felt it was novel and wanted to sit outside with Zhao Xiangjun. Lin Haitang followed her and lifted the curtain to chat with them.
There was laughter all the way, especially Liu Wanwan, whose smile never faltered.
Time always flies when you are happy. Before the three of them had finished chatting, they had already arrived in Hua'an County.
"Sister, where are we going?" Liu Wanwan asked Lin Haitang.
Lin Haitang smiled and said, "Our schedule today is quite full. We'll go shopping first, then have dinner at Wankelou, and then go house hunting in the afternoon. We'll try to buy a house today."
"Sister, are we moving?" Liu Wanwan said while holding Lin Haitang's arm.
Liu Wanwan liked Lin Haitang very much at first sight. Last night, Lin Haitang cured her illness. Now her admiration for Lin Haitang has reached its peak and can stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan.
Lin Haitang nodded and said, "Yes, there are too many things to do in the village. It would be great if we could move to the county and no one would know us."
Liu Wanwan nodded, not quite understanding. Zhao Xiangjun felt the same way and said, "There's really a lot going on in the village. Even the smallest things can be blown out of proportion."
"Let's go shopping first. Just tell me what you want to buy. You don't have to save money for me." Although Lin Haitang was nearly eight months pregnant, her body was very flexible. She pulled the person and started jogging.
Lin Haitang and Liu Wanwan wanted to buy everything they saw, even a chick and a duckling, which they wanted to take away, but they were stopped by Zhao Xiangjun.
If Zhao Xiangjun hadn't been in charge, the carriage might have been so packed today that there wouldn't even be room for people to sit.
Liu Wanwan has been weak since childhood and has been to the street only a few times. Lin Haitang just likes to go shopping.
After strolling around until their stomachs growled, Lin Haitang took them to Wanke Tower.
Wankelou is the best restaurant in Hua'an County. Lin Haitang asked for a good private room and ordered all the signature dishes.
"Madam, the three of us can't finish it." Zhao Xiangjun advised tactfully.
"Yes, sister, there are only three of us, there is no need to order so much." Liu Wanwan also advised.
Lin Haitang still insisted, saying: "It's okay, if you can't finish it, just pack it up and take it back for them to eat. Don't worry, it will definitely not be wasted."
The fact is, both Zhao Xiangjun and Liu Wanwan underestimated their appetites, and in the end they had almost finished their meals, so there was no need to pack up.
In a place where Lin Haitang couldn't see, there was someone quietly observing her.
This guard-like man had been following Lin Haitang and the other two since the carriage left Shang'anhe Village.
The man dodged and went to another private room.
A beautiful woman in red clothes, with a wealth of accessories on her body, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, jewels on her belt, and anklets on her ankles.
The woman glanced at the person who came and said, "Did you see anyone?"
They speak the Xiongnu language.
"Yes, Princess." Heifeng answered with his head down.
The woman looked at her nails and asked, "What have you done to them? Are they as beautiful as me?"
Heifeng told Lin Haitang whereabouts, and then replied: "She is not as beautiful as the princess."
Hu Yanlan sneered and said, "I really don't know what Gu An likes about her. She only cares about eating."
Lin Haitang, before she met Gu An, already had an inexplicable "rival in love".
Hu Yanlan was the daughter of the Xiongnu Chanyu and was the most favored. Her brother Hu Yantuo led the troops to fight but suffered more defeats than victories. She always looked down on Hu Yantuo, so she begged her father for help and went to the front line.
Hu Yanlan was good at martial arts and had military talent, but she didn't get any benefits from working for Gu An. She disliked him at first, but gradually she liked him.
On a night when the two sides temporarily ceased fighting, Hu Yanlan sneaked into Gu An's tent alone, put a scimitar on Gu An's neck, and said, "Gu An, be my princess's consort, and I will grant you supreme status and wealth."
Gu An said calmly, "Princess, my wife and children are all here."
"How can your wife and children compare to me, Hu Yanlan? Just divorce them." Hu Yanlan didn't care at all and didn't even frown.
Gu An used his strength to open her scimitar, left Hu Yanlan, and said, "I love my wife very much. Thank you, Princess, for your kindness."
Hu Yanlan took a step forward, and Gu An, who was two meters away, took a step back. "You really don't know what's good for you!"
"Princess, please leave quickly, or I will call for help." Gu An said calmly with no expression on his face.
Who would have thought that after this, Hu Yanlan not only did not give up on Gu An, but her love for him grew stronger.
For this purpose, Hu Yanlan came to Hua'an County specifically to see the woman that Gu An loved to the core.
If Lin Haitang knew about this, she would laugh towards the sky for three minutes and then put the divorce papers in Hu Yanlan's hand.
"Find an opportunity to kill her." Hu Yanlan said calmly, her tone as if saying to pull out this weed.
Heifeng paused and asked, "Where are the two children?"
"Children?" Hu Yanlan said in distress, "Killing the children seems too cruel, doesn't it? Just leave them alone. Gu An is fighting with us anyway, and he won't be back for a year or two. Let them fend for themselves."
Hu Yanlan spread her hands and said, "They are lucky to be alive. Don't blame me if they die."
After Lin Haitang and her friends finished their meal, they stayed in the private room until the sun outside became less hot before going out to look at houses.
After looking around, Lin Haitang finally found the one with two courtyards to her liking. After bargaining for a while, she finally bought it for four hundred and twenty taels.
"Brother, it's still early. You can just take us to transfer the ownership of the house." Lin Haitang said to Fang Ya.
Fang Ya was also a straightforward person. He said, "Okay, prepare the silver. The transfer fee from the government is twenty taels of silver."
"No problem, you lead the way." Lin Haitang was very happy after selling the house.
Fang Ya had acquaintances in the government, and when he arrived at the place, the house was transferred in less than a quarter of an hour.
Lin Haitang put away the deed and said to Zhao Xiangjun and Liu Wanwan, "Now that we've bought the house, shall we go home?"
The two of them nodded repeatedly. They were really tired after walking around for a whole day.
Before leaving the city gate of Hua'an County, I met Liu Sanyou.
"Husband!" When Liu Wanwan saw Sanyou, her eyes were full of surprise.
Lin Haitang asked, "Why are you here?"
Sanyou was a little dissatisfied: "You kidnapped my wife for a whole day, a whole day, and I can't come out to look for her?"
Lin Haitang laughed at him: "Look at your potential, Liu Sanyou. Can't you just not see Wanwan for a day?"
Zhao Xiangjun also joked, "You two are so loving, haven't you? You don't miss me and Zhang Ben. I haven't seen you for three days, and I still feel peaceful around you."
Liu Wanwan blushed, but Liu Sanyou said confidently, "I can't live without my wife anyway."
"Come up and be the driver. Let your wife come up and rest. Stop hugging each other down there." Lin Haitang stretched out her hand, motioning Liu Wanwan to hold her hand and get in the car.
The carriage drove out of the city gate and entered the tree-lined path.
The three people in the carriage were chatting and bursts of laughter could be heard. Liu Sanyou turned his head to look somewhere, frowned, took out a black bean from his belt, and threw it towards that place.
The whole process took only a breath, and Liu Sanyou didn't even stop the carriage.
The black spot hit Heifeng's head like a meteor, and he started bleeding instantly.
Heifeng groaned, did not follow, and went to apologize to Hu Yanlan.
Heifeng knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said, "Princess, there is an expert beside Lin Haitang. Heifeng cannot get close to Lin Haitang. Please punish me, Princess."
I still can't understand the Xiongnu language.
"If you can't get close to her, just follow her from a distance. There can't be someone around her all the time. Find the right opportunity and kill her." Hu Yanlan didn't even look at Heifeng.
Heifeng took the order and left the room.
When they arrived at the door, Zhao Xiangjun and Liu Wanwan were just getting something downstairs. Liu Sanyou called Lin Haitang aside, his usual playful smile fading from his face. He asked, "Who did you offend? Why is someone trying to kill you?"
Lin Haitang was shocked and said, "You want to kill me? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"I'm sure." Liu Sanyou said solemnly.
Lin Haitang frowned and lowered her head to think hard. After a long while, she raised her head and said, "Except for Wu Cailing and Lin Guangzong, I haven't offended anyone."
It can’t be Wu Cailing and Lin Guangzong, they don’t have that ability.
Liu Sanyou sighed and said, "If you go out recently, you must take me with you, and don't leave your room at night."
Lin Haitang nodded.
Lin Haitang really didn't expect that after traveling back to ancient times, someone would assassinate her.
It's really bloody and exciting.
That night, it rained heavily, which brought some coolness to people in the scorching heat, and most people fell into a deep sleep in the sound of the rain.
But a certain family was not at peace.
Under the dim oil lamp, a horrific scene was unfolding.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, old man, please stop hitting me." The old man kneeling on the ground begged bitterly.
The old man was dressed in rags and had bruises on his face and arms.
Blood came out of the corner of her eyes, and she cried and begged for mercy: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I beg you."
Her plea for mercy did not stop the beating and scolding. A flash of lightning illuminated the man's ferocious face. He raised the wooden stick in his hand and hit the woman kneeling on the ground.
"Ah!" The woman let out a shrill scream, but it was drowned out by the thunder.
The woman was beaten and curled up on the ground. It was so painful that she kicked her legs uncontrollably.
Two kicks landed on the man's calves.
"Okay, you bitch dare to kick me!" The man put down the stick in his hand, turned around and walked out of the house.
The heavy rain instantly soaked the man. He ran into the kitchen and picked up the kitchen knife from the chopping board.
The woman thought she had finally survived the beating, but the next second she heard the sound of a door opening.
The woman shuddered.
"Bitch, I let you hit me!" The man raised a kitchen knife and chopped the woman on the back!
"what!"
The woman screamed and felt the blood rushing out from her back.
She was twitching in pain and could no longer speak.
The man did not stop and raised the kitchen knife again.
Another flash of lightning flashed, once again illuminating the situation inside the house.
The man opened his eyes wide, his eyeballs seemed to escape from the constraints of his eye sockets, his upper and lower teeth were pressed together, the corners of his mouth were grinned to his ears, there was a string of blood beads on his face, the blood beads mixed with the rain on his face slowly flowed down, and his hands above his head were holding a kitchen knife.
This is the devil.
The next second, the kitchen knife hit the woman's neck.
The woman's pupils constricted, her eyes were filled with fear, her mouth was open, and she was no longer breathing.
The man continued to move forward, waving the kitchen knife in his hand.
Until the woman's head fell off, leaving only a piece of flesh connecting to her torso.
The man sat on the ground, panting, and kicked the woman, cursing, "Bitch!"
After a while, a young man came in, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and said, "Dad, are you done? You guys woke me up."
The man sitting on the ground didn't show any sign of panic. He said, "Why are you awake? It's okay if you're awake. Go find me a doctor."
The man saw the tragic scene on the ground and screamed in shock: "Ahhhhhhh!"
"Dad! Did you kill Mom?" the man said, staring at the corpse on the ground.
The man remained unfazed and said, "If you're dead, you're dead! You stinky bitch!"
The man calmed down his fear, shook his head, and said, "Dad, you shouldn't have killed Mom, otherwise there would be no one to cook and wash the dishes."
"Let's not talk about this for now! If you don't have a woman anymore, you can find another one!" The man shook his head irritably and said, "Go find a doctor quickly."
The man was puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking for a doctor? Is the person dead, or are you injured?"
The man explained, "Silly child, you don't understand. If this person's body isn't intact, he'll turn into a ghost and come to take my life. I don't want to see this bitch again."
"If you don't ask the doctor to sew up my head, then you will do it?" the man asked.
The man shook his head instantly and said, "I'd better go find a doctor."
"Tell him it's three cents a stitch, and you won't be afraid he won't come," the man instructed.
The man nodded, put on his raincoat and went out.
There was only one barefoot doctor in their village. He had an old mother at home who needed medical treatment and was very poor, so there was no doubt that he would take the job.
The man found the barefoot doctor and said, "Would you like me to sew my hair? I'll pay three cents for one stitch."
The barefoot doctor asked back, "What? Suture the head? How do you sew it?"
The man explained impatiently, "It's just that the head fell off. I need to sew the head and neck together. One stitch costs three cents. Do you want to go?"
The barefoot doctor thought of his bedridden mother, then thought of the money in his pocket, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take it!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, the barefoot doctor was still so scared that he wet his pants when he saw the corpse.
Thinking of the money, the barefoot doctor knelt on the ground, straightened his head tremblingly, and picked up the needle and thread.
A total of 264 stitches were performed and the barefoot doctor received 792 coins.
The rain stopped, the sky brightened, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.
