Chapter 5

Uncle Li's slow voice came from the yard: Come on, who is this?Our doors are about to be broken.

After a while, the door of the mansion creaked and opened a crack, and was pushed open vigorously. Then, Uncle Li was heard panickedly: Madam!lady!Something happened to the master!

Su Ningshuang's door slammed open, and Su Ningshuang walked out quickly with her hair scattered in her outer robe and asked with a pale face: What's wrong with Husband?What happened?

At the same time, Li Tianlin and Yue'er were both surprised and ignored everything else. They hurriedly pushed open the door and went to the yard.

A carriage rushed into the mansion surrounded by several strong men. Yang Wenbo was the leader. He looked haggard, his eyes were covered with blood, and blood was hanging on his clothes. He looked at Su Ningshuang with guilt: Brother and sister, Brother Han had an accident.

Su Ningshuang's mind buzzed, and her eyes turned black. She almost fell down. She felt like she had stepped on cotton under her feet. She ran to the carriage in a few crooked steps and lifted the curtain. She saw Han Jianchen lying in the carriage, covered with a quilt, and her face was pale like white paper. Seeing that the lady came to her, she forced a smile and said in a low voice: Shuang'er, you are worried.

Su Ningshuang leaned on Han Jianchen and cried loudly.

Yang Wenbo's eyes were red and he said: Brother and sister, don't stay in the yard, Brother Han can't stand the cold now.Without saying a word, he directed a few people to lift Han Jianchen up, carefully put it into the room, and gently placed it on the bed.

Li Tianlin grabbed Yang Wenbo: Yang Daxia, what's going on?

Yang Wenbo's eyes were dull and said in a stern voice: We were chasing Jade Butterfly, and we were about to capture this evil thief, but he later came to help, set up an ambush for us, and killed many of us to break out of the siege.In order to protect his brothers, Brother Han fought with several masters and was seriously injured.

Yue'er was gloomy and said tremblingly: How is my father's injury? Will he... die?

Yang Wenbo said bitterly: Brother Han is too seriously injured, I'm afraid... He forced us to send him back in one breath just to see you mother and daughter for the last time.

Yue'er's face was pale and her body shook. Li Tianlin beside her hurriedly supported her.

Yue'er calmed down, and suddenly tears came from her eyes. She grabbed Yang Wenbo's collar with her hands and shouted: You have harmed my dad, you have harmed my dad...

Yang Wenbo's face was bitter and motionless.

At this moment, Su Ningshuang shouted in the room: Yue'er, Tianlin, Brother Yang, my husband invites you in.

The three of them hurriedly walked into the house.

Han Jianchen was lying on the bed, his upper body was cushioned with a pillow, his face no longer as pale as before, with a hint of rosy and a little energetic.

Su Ningshuang sat at the head of the bed, crying, but her face was filled with joy of being reborn after the disaster, and she was glad that her husband could get better.

Yang Wenbo's heart sank. Su Ningshuang was not good at martial arts, so he naturally didn't know that Han Jianchen was already exhausted at this time and was like a sign of returning to the light. Just when this little energy dissipated, it would be difficult for the immortal to save him.

Yang Wenbo walked to the bed and whispered: Brother Han, do you have anything to give me?As long as your brother is in one breath, he will help you with his own efforts.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ningshuang's face was pale, her eyes were full of despair, her body shook twice, and her whole body trembled slightly.

Han Jianchen took a breath and said: Brother Yang, I want to deal with a few family affairs. Please give me a testimony.

Yang Wenbo responded: Please say.

Han Jianchen said: After I went there, all the property in my family belongs to my wife.After the funeral, the wife can match someone else, and the Han family members must not be stopped at all. Please testify with Brother Yang.

Su Ningshuang shouted: No!!He leaned on Han Jianchen and cried bitterly.

Han Jianchen trembled his hands and stroked Su Ningshuang's cheeks, and said softly: Shuang'er, it was me who let you down.As he spoke, a line of tears flowed down.

Su Ningshuang reached out and held Han Jianchen's hand, staring straight at the other party's eyes, tears rolling down, and she burst into tears.

Han Jianchen continued: The second thing is Tianlin, come over and kneel down.

Li Tianlin walked up and fell to the ground.

Han Jianchen said: Tianlin, you have been growing up in the Han family since childhood. You and Yue'er are childhood sweethearts. Now you both have grown up. Today I will betroth Yue'er to you.After I leave, I don’t have to be filial for three years, so I can find a good day to marry Yue'er.

Li Tianlin cried and said: Yes, Master, the disciple must take good care of Yue'er and not let her suffer any pain.

Yue'er suddenly burst into tears, rushed to her father, and hugged Han Jianchen's body: Dad, don't leave us behind.

A hint of softness appeared on Han Jianchen's face, and he sighed and said: Yue'er, I have always thought of watching you and Tianlin get married and have a happy life, but unfortunately I never had a chance again.You should be more sensible in the future and don’t be naughty, do you know?

Yue'er just cried bitterly and could not say a word.

Han Jianchen said to Li Tianlin: Tianlin, you will be the only man in the family in the future. You must take good care of Yue'er and Master's wife and don't let them suffer any grievances, otherwise... The following words ended abruptly, their eyes dimmed, and their arms drooped weakly.

Husband!Daddy!Master!

Three heart-wrenching screams sounded.

The three of them cried for a long time, but in the end, Yang Wenbo couldn't stand it and tried to persuade them to force them out, and then quickly found someone to arrange the funeral.

There are only two women in the Han family, one is a teenager, and they are all in a state of grief. How can they handle these things?

Yang Wenbo killed Han Jianchen because of his invitation. He felt guilty and did not dare to slack off at all.

Fortunately, he often interacted with the Han family, and the servants at home were familiar with each other. After busy for most of the day, the mourning hall was finally arranged after the lights were held.

In the mourning hall, Han Jianchen's body was parked on the bed, and Su Ningshuang and the other three were wearing mourning clothes and knelt beside them.

Li Tianlin, Yue'er was better. After crying for a while, she had already relieved a little, but Su Ningshuang sat motionlessly, like a wooden carving, her eyes were dull and her desolate look was heartbreaking.

Li Tianlin was so energetic that he made some porridge, fed Yue'er half a bowl, and then brought the bowl to Su Ningshuang's lips.

Su Ningshuang was like a puppet. After being called by Li Tianlin a few times, she couldn't come back to her senses. Li Tianlin had no choice but to commit a crime secretly and forcibly poured Su Ningshuang a few mouthfuls, but most of them were spilled out. Her clothes were covered with soup, but Su Ningshuang was dumbfounded and knew nothing.

The next day, the coffin shop brought the coffin and Han Jianchen's body was finally buried.

Originally, according to etiquette, the corpse should be parked for 57 days before it was buried, but Yang Wenbo saw Su Ningshuang's numbness of sleeplessness and drinking and eating, so he was afraid that something unknown would happen.

After discussing with Li Tianlin, the body was parked for only three days and then buried. Fortunately, the Han family was poor and had no relatives, so naturally no one jumped out to pick them up.

Even though the funeral has been repeatedly streamlined, it still exhausts people's energy.

Su Ningshuang never walked away from the coffin during these three days, and the water and rice did not enter. She seemed to have her soul buried in the ground with her husband's coffin.

It was not until the funeral was over that I came to my senses slightly. I drank a few sips of ginseng soup and vomited most of it. I could only barely support it, but I was still in a daze.

Yang Wenbo has been very tired these days, and he breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Seeing that Su Ningshuang was a little more energetic, he said: Brother and sister, Brother Han has gone. You must take good care of your health in the future, not for yourself, but also for your daughter.Yue'er girl has no father, and she can't have no mother anymore.

Hearing Yue'er's name, Su Ningshuang added a little more energy, looked at Yue'er, and said in a stern voice: Yue'er, find me a pair of scissors.

Yue'er was startled and asked: Mom, what are you going to do?

Su Ningshuang said: I told your father that if one day he went, I would cut my hair and become a monk and recite scriptures for him for life.

Yue'er suddenly burst into tears, holding her mother's body and not letting go.Li Tianlin also persuaded him hard.

Yang Wenbo sighed: It’s not bad for your younger brother and sister to have this intention, but Yue'er is the only relative. If you become a monk, what if you let your daughter be alone?In my opinion, you can set up a Buddhist temple in the mansion and practice with your hair, which not only fulfills your long-cherished wish to pray for your husband, but also takes care of your daughter.

Li Tianlin and Yue'er tried to persuade him again, and Su Ningshuang reluctantly agreed.

Yang Wenbo said again: Brother Han had already promised Yue'er to Tianlin before his death. Brother and sister-in-law, what do you think?

Su Ningshuang looked at Li Tianlin and Yue'er and said: Tianlin and Yue'er grew up together since childhood and wanted to promise him.After three years of mourning, they will naturally get married.

Yang Wenbo said: But Brother Han originally wanted them to get married as soon as possible, and there was no need to be filial to three years.

Su Ningshuang flatly refused and said: Three years of filial piety is etiquette, how can we not obey it?

Yang Wenbo hesitated: Brother and sister, in my opinion, Brother Han’s decision may have a lot of meaning.Seeing Su Ningshuang staring at her with sharp eyes, she said with a cruel heart: Brother and sister are new widows, Tianlin has grown up, and if she can't get married for a long time, she may be verbal.

Speaking of this, Su Ningshuang's face suddenly turned red. She obviously knew what Yang Wenbo was saying. After thinking about it, she said: At least half a year of mourning, and then she would let them get married in half a year.

Yang Wenbo breathed a sigh of relief and said a few more words. Su Ningshuang asked Yang Wenbo to leave to do his own business.

Yang Wenbo also knew that Han Jianchen died because of him, so his wife naturally resented herself. After saying a few more gossips, she left Han's mansion on the pretext.

Seeing the night dark, Yue'er said: Mother, it's late at night, please rest early.

Su Ningshuang agreed, got up and walked a few steps, suddenly shook her body and almost fell down. Li Tianlin, who was beside her, hurriedly supported Su Ningshuang.

Yue'er hurriedly shouted: Mom!Just as I was about to get up, I felt dizzy.These days, both mother and daughter have been sleepless and have not eaten a few bites of food, and are already on the verge of collapse.

Su Ningshuang said: I'm fine.After walking a few more steps, my feet became weak and my head was dizzy and I couldn't hold on.

Li Tianlin supported Su Ningshuang and turned around and said to Yue'er: Yue'er wait a moment, I will take my master's wife back to her room first.

Su Ningshuang was supported by Li Tianlin and slowly walked towards her bedroom. At first, she could barely move, but later she was almost in a coma and her whole body was hung on Li Tianlin.

Li Tianlin held Su Ningshuang and struggled more and more. Seeing that the master's wife's eyes were closed, her mind was no longer clear. Finally, she gritted her teeth, picked up the master's wife with both arms and sent it into the room.

The lights and candles in the bedroom are dim and are about to go out.Li Tianlin gently placed his master's wife on the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and covered her with a quilt.Just as I turned around and was about to leave, my clothes were held by one hand.

Su Ningshuang's eyes were closed, but her hands only grabbed Li Tianlin's clothes and muttered to herself: Husband... don't leave me.Shuang'er, Shuang'er doesn't want you to leave...

Li Tianlin's tears almost remained. He gently spread his master's fingers, stuffed her arm into the quilt, blew out the light, closed the door and left.

When I arrived at the hall, I saw Yue'er lying on the table and fell asleep.

Li Tianlin picked up Yue'er, carried it all the way into the boudoir, and placed it on the bed.Just as he was about to leave, Yue'er opened her eyes, tears were shining in her eyes.

Senior brother, Yue'er sobbed: Dad, there is no more.

Li Tianlin leaned over and kissed Yue'er on the cheek: Don't be afraid, there is a senior brother here.

Yue'er nodded, closed her eyes, but grabbed Li Tianlin's arm with one hand: Senior brother, don't leave tonight, Yue'er is so scared.

Li Tianlin hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Yue'er moved her body into the bed, and Li Tianlin took off her shoes and lay on the bed.

Yue'er closed her eyes and slowly leaned over, pressed against Li Tianlin, buried her head in front of her senior brother's chest, pulled the quilt with one hand, covering the two of them. Her petite body trembled in the quilt, and her long eyelashes were covered with tears.

Li Tianlin bent down, kissed Yue'er gently on the forehead, stretched out his arms, and hugged the helpless girl tightly in his arms.

The girl in her arms gradually stopped trembling, and after a while, she finally fell into a deep dream.

Li Tianlin's lips slowly slashed from his forehead across his cheeks, crossed the girl's beautiful neck, and slowly closed his eyes.

The candle swayed and finally went out, and everything fell into darkness.
