When he woke up, he didn't know what time of day it was outside the window. In his mind, it seemed to be raining heavily, but now the rain had stopped. A light breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. It felt quite cool. At the same time … he felt as if his whole body was empty, hungry and tired.
Whenever someone fell asleep beside her, she would hold his hand. When her heart felt at peace, she would fall into a deep sleep again.
When he woke up again, the wind outside was a little stronger. It seemed to be blowing through the bamboo forest, but the sun was bright. Along with the chirping of birds, beams of sunlight poured in from the window. Sitting by the bed … was Tan'Er. She wore a white dress and a plain silk brocade. She blew on the medicine in her hand and drank a spoonful of it. She leaned over and saw that he had opened his eyes. She didn't do much. After feeding him a mouthful of medicine, she picked up a gauze towel and wiped his mouth. Then she held his hand and put it on her cheek. There were faint traces of tears on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Dad passed away."
"… How long have I slept?"
"Three days."
Although the Six Paths Break taught by Lu Hongti wasn't a second-rate or third-rate internal force and could strengthen the body, it was also very harmful to the body if it was used too much. But at this moment, he could finally clearly connect the previous events in his mind. The sudden arrival of the people from Liangshan, the fight, and all the things that happened later. He had some questions in his mind, but he couldn't ask them at the moment.
"Why have you been staying here all this time?"
"Grandpa said that it's important to be alive, so when it's time to take medicine, I came over …"
What Ning Yi asked was naturally that with so many people in the Su family and Su Boyong's death, there would definitely be a large-scale mourning hall. With a status like Su Tan'er, she naturally had to go. But it seemed that Su Yu had given her the privilege to leave at any time. Although the relationship between Su Tan'er and her father was not very deep, it was still there. Su Tan'er must be sad at this time, but compared to the hundreds of lives lost in the entire Su family, the death of a single father seemed to be nothing. It was hard to tell what she was feeling at the moment. After experiencing those things, when the funeral turned into a blood feud, in front of the only husband she could rely on, Su Tan'er appeared even quieter. She did not show any expression of great joy or great sorrow. Only when Ning Yi finally woke up, her eyes were filled with tears.
In these years, there was no drip. When Ning Yi was in a coma, Su Tan'er was the one who fed him the soup and even the porridge. By this time, he had already woken up, so she changed the spoon and fed him spoonful by spoonful. Ning Yi was in a coma for three days. The blood in his mouth mixed with all kinds of soup and medicine. The smell was strange and unpleasant, but Su Tan'er did not care at all. In fact, she had just given birth and experienced that kind of thing. She ran in the rain in fear, and now she had to go to the mourning hall to take care of her Husband. Even though the grandfather cared about her body and could let her rest as much as possible, the free time was probably limited.
After feeding Ning Yi porridge, Ning Yi asked her to go to bed with him. The husband and wife snuggled together. Only then did Su Tan'er sob in his arms. At this time, Ning Yi had not moved much. He only looked around and said, "Not at home?" This environment was not the courtyard of the Su family.
"Grandfather said that if we want to move, we should move out. Recently, he has been thinking about family matters, but... it will probably be different... I think Husband, you may not always want to live there. Moreover, you have to go to the capital, so you moved out. "
Ning Yi listened with some doubt. He did not know the inside story of this matter. In fact, at the square, when Su Wenji stood up and pushed Su Tan'er to block the disaster, although he was the only one who spoke, there were many people around who echoed his words. Usually, Su Tan'er was used to seeing people's hearts. How could she not see these things? If it was a normal matter, a small quarrel, or even to the point of separating from the family, they were still a family. But on that square, when she was facing death with a dagger, Su Tan 'er looked at her kin, and her heart was full of resentment and disappointment.
She had done so many things for this family, and the second and third branches had also taken a lot of advantages. But in the end, these relatives could not even protect her at all, and were not even willing to protect her. Secondly, they sold her so stupidly, but how could they protect their own lives? Everyone could see that this time, Liangshan was bound to massacre the Su family, so there was no point in handing her over. They would probably kill even faster, but even for such a futile hope, they still did it.
Sometimes, perhaps, stupidity was more hurtful than ruthlessness. If it was said that after careful consideration, Su Tan'er felt that selling herself had its value, and then made a brave decision to cut her wrist, she might still feel that her sacrifice was worth it. But in the end, when faced with the problem of their own life and death, they still made such a stupid decision. At that moment, she even vaguely understood the reason why Ning Yi did not want Yun Zhu to marry into the family.
"Miss Nie is also fine. Her injury is not serious, but she was drenched in the rain that day and caught a cold, so she went home to recuperate. Her family... her family's Miss Jin'er is a little hostile towards us..."
Too many unforeseen events had happened in the past few days. At this time, when she spoke of this matter, her tone was also indifferent. Ning Yi was silent for a moment, "... That's good."
"I heard from Chan'er and Juan'er that Miss Nie saved our child." As she said this, she burrowed her body into Ning Yi's chest. After a moment, she remembered, "And Xing'er is also fine. She originally wanted to come to find us, but she separated from Miss Nie. Later, when she saw the murder, she was so scared that she hid. Instead, she was not found, so she should thank God. "
Ning Yi held her in his arms and lay down for a while. Then, he remembered, "What about those people from Liangshan?"
"I heard that they came to Jiangning Prison to break out the prison. Many of Fang La's traitors were supposed to be escorted to the north, but they were robbed and killed all the way out of the city. The guards had originally closed the city gate, but they arranged people over there. After the east gate was opened for less than an hour, they all ran away," Su Tan'er said, and then said, "Mr. Wenren took his men to chase them all the way."
Ning Yi closed his eyes and nodded. He had originally planned to chase them all the way, so that he could not let those people from Liangshan go back. Now that he had been in a coma for three days, it seemed that he would not have this opportunity. In fact, the Liangshan bandits were all experienced Jianghu people, and this time, they were all masters. After all, there were not many first-class masters under Wenren Bu'er, so he did not know whether they could seize this opportunity to kill them all the way.
Of course, he was not a master. When he said that he would chase them all the way, it was only because he was angry. But when they exchanged the hostages, he thought that this was a foreshadowing that could be used. If he had not fainted at that time, of course, he would have chased them all the way, and then acted according to the circumstances. But it could not be said that he had any confidence or plan. At this time, it was impossible for him to think that Wenren Bu'er and the others could not do without him. For the time being, he could only let them chase and kill the people from Liangshan.
After resting in bed for another day, his body recovered a little and he could barely get out of bed. On this day, some people came to visit or visit him. Wen Ding and Wen Fang, who were close to the first branch of the Su family, came one after another, saying that they would follow him and Su Tan'er to do things no matter what. At first, Ning Yi did not want to pay attention to them, but at this time, he roughly understood some things from their words. In this incident, many people from the first branch, the second branch, and the third branch had died. But now that Su Tan'er had moved out of the Su family, it was as if she was going to break off with the second branch and the third branch. Su Yu's acquiescence confirmed this fact, and many people began to really consider which side to take.
Su Yu had been maintaining the integrity of the Su family, and even began to hand over the power to the first branch. If not for this incident, no matter how distant the third branch of the Su family was, they would still be close as a family. And once Su Tan'er really broke off with the second branch and the third branch, the two sides would probably only be able to maintain the name of a family. Even Ning Yi did not know why Su Yu made such a decision.
In addition to the people from the Su family who came to visit one after another, there were more people who came, perhaps the children he used to teach in the school. These children belonged to different families, and many of them were the children of the second branch and the third branch. Their parents might not be able to take a side, so at this time, they sent their children to at least visit him, their teacher, and hope that there would be some kinship in the future.
Su Tan'er went to the mourning hall for a while during the day, and then came back to eat and rest. Although she was extremely gentle to Ning Yi, and her heart had become a little indifferent because of the sadness during this period, she had already acquiesced to this rhythm of separation. And on the Su family's side, it seemed that Su Yu was also promoting all this, which made Ning Yi feel a little strange.
In addition to the Su family, the next day, even people from the Xue family, the Wu Family, and the Puyang Family sent invitations to visit or express their condolences. The incident of the Liangshan bandits making trouble in Jiangning a few days ago had already caused an uproar, and the Su family was the family that was affected the most. The news that Ning Yi single-handedly dealt with the Liangshan bandits who rushed into his home, and finally killed them in the heavy rain, and then confronted the Liangshan bandits, exchanged people, and finally saved the lives of the whole family before collapsing had also spread far and wide.
In that kind of desperate situation, to be able to kill a bloody way out with the strength of one person and find the hope to save the lives of the whole family, this kind of thing could not only be described as heroic and wise. Furthermore, what made Ning Yi famous in the past was his poems. For a scholar to be able to do such a thing in such a desperate situation, the shock that was imprinted in everyone's hearts was truly indescribable.
"It is said that more than half of the prostitutes in Jiangning are willing to spend a night with you to comfort the hero's body and mind. Such a good reputation, Liheng should make use of it... "
The next day, in addition to the Su family and the invitations, Kang Xian, the son-in-law, also came to visit. He already knew that Ning Yi was willing to participate in the matter of the Office of Secret Investigations. Seeing that Ning Yi was gradually recovering, he smiled and was gratified. While drinking tea, he even made some jokes that belonged to a scholar.
Of course, he would not mention the matter of the Office of Secret Investigations while he was still recovering. Kang Xian was a standard scholar at heart. He advocated talking and joking, advocated calmness, and also advocated drawing the sword in anger and repaying grievances with straightforwardness. Therefore, he liked Ning Yi's way of doing things. Knowing that although Ning Yi was not in a hurry to mention the Office of Secret Investigations, he would definitely be concerned about Liangshan Lake, so he called Lu Agui over and asked him to tell Ning Yi about the situation of Liangshan that the Office of Secret Investigations now knew.
Then, Ning Yi heard a rather unexpected name...
