So, Shi Twenty began to talk about a past incident.

Many years ago, of course, the village of Ju Ling was already in this place.

But at that time, the village was not so barren, and there were even some other villages around, and the neighbors supported each other and had close contacts, which was a very touching idyllic scenery.

In the village, there are three young people in their prime.

Two men and one woman.

A man named Shi San, who is in charge of the business of the ancestors of this village, carved monuments, he has an upright temperament, is helpful, and everyone in the village likes him.

Another man, named Shi Ya.

Although he was also born in Juluo Village, he didn't like the business of carving monuments since he was a child, but liked to read, and he couldn't release the scroll every day, and everyone laughed at him for being a nerd.

The girl, named Shi Lian, is a beautiful and gentle little girl.

The three of them grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and deep feelings, but when they got older and started to get through people, the feelings of childhood sweethearts changed.

Shi San and Shi Ye both fell in love with Shi Lian.

And Shi Lian faced the two of them, but she was a little confused.

Originally, the three of them grew up together since childhood, day and night, and suddenly wanted to choose one she "more" liked, but she really couldn't do it.

She just didn't understand why the three of them were playing together for such a happy time, because when they grew up, they became embarrassed, and even, between the two teenagers, there was often a faint hostility.

Of course, this embarrassment did not last long.

Because, Shi is also going to take the exam, he has studied hard for many years, hoping that he can be named on the gold list, and when the time comes, he will be more qualified to marry Shi Lian.

So, he left.

And Shi San, who stayed in the village, was able to get along with Shi Lian day and night, and the relationship between the young people developed rapidly in two years, and not long after, Shi Lian's mother was seriously ill, and Shi San and Shi Lian were filial piety before bed.

Shi Lian's mother felt that her daughter's life had sustenance.

Therefore, under the control of the elders, a wedding was held for the two of them, Shi Lian officially married Shi San, and the two became husband and wife.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

After the two got married, life naturally passed very plainly, and there was no lack of tenderness in the plainness, Shi Lian sometimes remembered Brother Shi Ye, who was by her side when she was a child, but she just remembered it.

She and Shi San raised their eyebrows and were very affectionate.

A few years later, an official came to Juling Village.

It's none other than Shi Ye, who I haven't seen for a few years, he really went to high school, and he worked hard in officialdom for two years and became a big official.

This time, it's a return to the hometown.

As soon as he came back, he saw that Shi Lian had married Shi San, but he didn't say anything, after all, so many years have passed, so he still maintains a good relationship with his childhood friends, and often goes to Shi San's house for dinner and talks to them about their childhood.

Although Shi San is diligent and willing to work, after all, he is only doing hard work such as carving monuments, and he is tired and tired, and he can't make a lot of money, and the taxes of the imperial court are heavy, so he often can't make ends meet.

At this time, Shi, who was already an official, also lent a hand.

He often asked Shi San to go to the yamen or his house to help him with some money and things, Shi San originally refused to accept it, so he said to him sincerely: "Shi San, we are also good brothers who grew up together since childhood, and now that my brother is in trouble, my brother's family has a surplus, don't I help you?" ”

“……”

"So, I'm not a beast anymore?"

He said so earnestly, Shi San also felt that if he refused again, he would have a little belly, so after thanking him, he took the thing back.

In this way, the barren situation of his family has been greatly improved.

Even, the people around him knew that Shi San's family had a friend who was a big official, and his family was now wealthy.

On this day, Shi San took a job with a friend from the same village, and the two of them made an appointment to buy stones together, but the friend waited for him at the agreed place for a long time, but did not wait for him to come.

The friend remembered that Shi San often went to the yamen to visit Shi Ye, so he went over to ask him, and Shi was also very strange, because on this day, he had not seen Shi San.

The two of them were not at ease, so they went to Juling Village.

When he arrived at the door of Shi San's house, Shi also went up and knocked on the door: "San Niangzi, is Shi San at home?" ”

Shi Lian came out of the door, and when she heard them say that she hadn't seen her husband, she was also a little panicked.

So, make an appointment with everyone to go out and look for it. Everyone searched for a long time near the village, but they never found Shi San's whereabouts.

He never appeared again.

After a long time, everyone suspected that Shi San might have encountered an accident.

Shi Lian was grief-stricken, but what made her even more sad was that at this time, she suddenly found out that she was pregnant.

If Shi San really encounters an accident, he is no longer alive, and the child in his womb will be his widow.

Therefore, although Shi Lian was in pain, she still persevered.

It's just that what puzzled everyone was that it didn't take long for her to agree to marry Shi Ye.

Although the remarriage of a woman was not a big deal at the time, Shi was not really confirmed to be dead; Moreover, even if he was really dead, at that time, it was considered a cold corpse, and Shi Lian was even pregnant with his child, so he married Shi Ye.

This kind of thing is really unacceptable.

Therefore, the people of the village despised her very much, and all the women who came and went from her door had to spit on her door, spitting on this woman who did not abide by women's morals.

Even her own mother couldn't accept it, and even fell ill in a fit of rage, and in the end, she died.

Shi Lian, there is no one left.

Since she agreed to marry Shi Ye, she sat at home all day long, the two of them were newly married, and she didn't show much smile on her face, after getting married, Shi Ye originally wanted her to move to the city and live in her own house, but Shi Lian refused.

She still insisted on living in this village where everyone despised her.

Shi also moved here for her sake, but only expanded the house and built it into the famous huge manor here.

It's a pity that the mistress of the manor has never shown a smile.

A few months later, Shi Lian gave birth to a child.

However, it was a dead baby.

Ordinary women, after encountering such successive blows, are afraid that they will not be able to support it for a long time, but Shi Lian did not even shed a single tear, she calmly guarded the child's small body for a whole night.

Then, he went to the backyard and buried the child.

Hearing this, Nanyan was covered in cold sweat.

Although the sun was still overhead, she had the illusion that there was no daylight.

She whispered, "What happened later? ”

Shi Twenty raised his head, glanced at her, and said softly: "Back to Niangniang, that night, something happened in Shifu." ”
