The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 254. The whereabouts of Jiang Ruan

The wind under the mountain is very strong, and the early morning is the most steep. In the wild grass-grown wasteland, there are huge deep pits, and the pits are covered with straw, which seems to have some attractive aroma.

Two young men dressed as hunters carrying medicine baskets, they saw a big hole in the trapping pit from a long distance, and it was deeply sunken in, and the movement seemed quite big. The seemingly childish young man said, “Brother, look, is there a big guy here? You have a good meal these days!”

The older young man couldn’t help showing a hint of joy when he heard the words, and said, “Go, go over and take a look.”

This trapping pit was originally set up to catch big guys, but on weekdays, there are mostly beasts such as wolves and rabbits in this place, and there are no big beasts. This trapping pit is just a show. Who knew that the luck was so good today, and they turned out to be big guys. The two of them were naturally overjoyed. After touching the sickle and bow and arrows behind them, they moved towards the animal trapping pit with their waists.

The younger one couldn’t stand his temper, so he walked a few steps from the waist of the cat and ran all the way. He couldn’t wait to look down at the pit, and his brother quickly called out, “Shan, stop! Be careful!” Something underneath hurts people!”

However, the hill did not move for a long time, just burrowed his head in, as if to see clearly what was inside. His brother was even more anxious when he saw this, thinking that his brother’s behavior was a little strange, and he recalled that some wild animals in the mountains would marry and pretend to be injured to bring people forward, and when they walked forward, they grabbed people’s necks and caved in. Drag in. Could it be that the small mountain was caught in the neck by the beast in the pit, the young man thought about it more and more suspiciously, and immediately picked up the sickle and ran over there.

Who knew that just halfway through the run, Xiaoshan raised his face, turned his head to look at his brother, and said in disappointment: “Brother, it’s not a big guy, there’s a woman inside.”

The young man’s movements stopped abruptly, and he stayed there for a while, and quickly stepped forward to take a look inside. Sure enough, due to the sunlight outside, thick straws spread out as a cover were scattered in the trapping pit, and a man was lying down on the straw, looking like a woman.

The two brothers looked at each other. Finally, the older brother said, “Bring people up first.”

The hill slid down, and the two brothers were outside the pit and the other in the pit, and it was easy to get the woman out. Xiaoshan climbed out, sat on the ground, and said, “I’m exhausted, brother, is this person dead?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” His brother stopped his brother’s nonsense, and he stretched out two fingers to poke under the woman’s snort. Although it was very weak, he still had a snort. Only then was there a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the lives were still there. When Xiaoshan saw this, he grunted up and said, “Brother, is she dying? Why doesn’t she wake up?”

The young man thought for a while, and said: “We will carry her back home, and it will be a life.”

Although Xiaoshan was reluctant, he still followed his brother home. The brothers came home, and just walked to the door of the house, a fat woman with a headscarf came out. Seeing them, she was also taken aback: “Dashan, why did you come back with the hill? Did you drop something?” The voice just fell. She saw a woman on Dashan’s back again, and said, “This…”

“Brother picked up a dying woman on the road, mother, let me see.” Xiaoshan Wu said to himself.

“Oh, I’m sorry to see you, Dashan, take your back to my room and let this girl lie down, Xiaoshan, go and find Doctor Wang.” The woman is obviously also an old-fashioned temperament, and she urged her son to hurry up and get the girl. Back to his bed.

Doctor Wang came here soon. He is the only doctor in the village. He is the only one who has headaches in the village on weekdays. Most of the people in this village are simple-minded, and hurried over after knowing that a wounded girl had been picked up by the Dashan family. After getting the pulse for the woman on the bed, Doctor Wang twisted his gray beard and said: “This girl fell from a high place. Fortunately, some branch was caught on the way and it didn’t fall off. She was so fierce that she left scratches on her arms. Finally, she fell into your brother’s animal trap, which was just a skin injury. It’s just that the baby in her belly is a bit dangerous. Fortunately, she took a lot of anti-fetal medicine before. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’s hard to save the gods at this moment. It’s just that the dolls in her belly have not all been out of danger, and she is very weak now. Xiaoxiao’s lady, the old man prescribes some prescriptions for fetuses, and you ask Xiaoshan to go to the mountain to pick some medicine and boil it for this. The girl drinks it, and pays attention to replenishing her body. Pregnant women pay the most attention to recuperation.”

Xiao Xiaoniang didn’t expect that this woman was actually pregnant. She heard that Doctor Wang said she fell from a high place, thinking that she had encountered a miserable woman who committed suicide. Thinking about it, she pityed the woman on the bed three points, and thanked Dr. Wang for letting Dashanshanshan go to gather medicine.

It seemed as if she had fallen from a long distance. When Jiang Ruan woke up, she was at a loss for a moment. Her first action was to lower her head to stroke her belly. Fortunately, the child was still there. She was relieved, and then she was a little confused. At the end of the memory, she was lured by Yuanchuan in the dark and fell from a high place into the cliff abyss. It should be lifeless. What, this is the world after death?

This is naturally not the world after death, she quickly understood. Lifting his eyes and looking around, this is a small farmhouse, which is somewhat similar to the one that lived in Zhanglanzhuang. It’s just brighter and more spacious, airy and tidy. The quilt is a blue and white quilt, with lotus leaves embroidered on it, with fine stitches, and the material is more comfortable but ordinary.

She looked around in a daze, the door was pushed open with a “creak”, and a woman with little feet in a blue cloth jacket walked in from the outside, her face was a bit wide, but she had a kind smile on her face, that smile She looked very simple and honest, and came in with a bowl of black medicine. It was a pleasant surprise to see her wake up. He put the medicine bowl aside, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at her and said: “Girl, you are awake. You can I slept for three days and three nights.”

“Madam, this is…” Jiang Ruan asked with a smile, reaching out to not hit the smiling face, not to mention that this woman looked like an ordinary peasant woman.

“你掉进我儿子的捕兽坑了，是他把你背回来的。我们村里的大夫替你把过脉，你身子虚弱得很，还好孩子没事。这是保胎的药，你先喝了吧。我们这里是清平镇。你叫我桂嫂就好了，可不是什么夫人。”

这妇人笑容爽朗，话里又自有一种赤诚，看着倒教人心生好感。蒋阮注意到她手上还有做农活留下的茧子，微微一笑，也不多话，从善如流的叫了一声桂嫂，就端起碗来将那碗里的药喝了个干净。罢了，又对桂嫂道：“桂嫂救了我的性命，就是我的救命恩人，大恩大德，无以为报……”

“可别说这些！”桂嫂吓了一跳，连忙道：“这都是人命，哪能见死不救呢，大山两个救你也不是为了什么回报的，姑娘你身子还很虚，不如就留在这里多养一养病。你既然掉到了大山的捕兽坑，也是缘分。倒不必拘泥。”想了想，桂嫂又道：“只是姑娘家住哪里？姑娘突然不见，想必家里人也很着急，要不要托人给家里带个信儿？”

蒋阮神情一变，目光陡然加深。元川自然是要确保她死干净了才是，那一日从悬崖上掉下来，元川未必就没有派人寻，会不会找到这地方来呢，若真如此，岂不是害了这些人？

她拧眉的样子被桂嫂看在眼里，以为她果真有什么想不开的，有些小心的试探道：“姑娘可是有什么难处，若是有难处的话，不如在这里住下来，这里的人都很好，姑娘，我活了大半辈子，什么事情没见过，遇到的苦楚也多得很，不过还是有句话想跟姑娘说。这世道不易，可总归只有活着才是好，任何时候，都不要轻易放弃自己的性命啊。”

蒋阮先是有些不明白桂嫂话里的意思，直到桂嫂一只手覆上了她的小腹，道：“何况你还有孩子，纵使有任何不对，孩子是无辜的。你是孩子的娘，你要将他抚养长大啊。”

蒋阮总算是明白了桂嫂为何会这样说，感情以为她是遇人不淑所以想要跳崖自尽了。她心思一动，就朝着桂嫂微笑道：“实不相瞒，并非如此，桂嫂只知其一不知其二，我父母去世后，曾与我有过婚约的人与我成亲，我怀了身子，却发觉他是想要吞我家中财产，甚至想要杀我灭口，我夜里潜逃，被他们逼得跳崖，不想就来到了此处。”

She just said casually. She hadn’t seen these things in her previous life and this life. When she said it, she was stunned and filled with indignation: “There is such a wolf-hearted man! Girl, don’t be afraid, let’s go and tell. Officer, could there be no justice in this world! Let’s go, there are scholars in our village. Write a lawsuit and sue the officer right away!”

After Jiang Ruan had finished speaking, she had been carefully observing Gui’s expression and confirmed that Gui’s expression was not fake. She relaxed, shook her head, and showed a wry smile: “It’s useless, there are people in him, and those officials are protecting him. He won’t make the decision for me at all. Besides, I don’t feel like a horror now, I just want to give birth to a child quietly, but he won’t let me go easily. What I am afraid of is that you will be tired.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Sister Gui shook her head and said, “Our place is very hidden. It was originally to avoid the talents of the village who took us to hide here. People outside don’t know that we are in this place. It’s just a place away from the outside world. Climbing up through the cane, it’s impossible for the disgruntled person to find here.”

Jiang Ruan wanted to know whether it was safe or not. He was a little relieved when he heard this. With Yuanchuan’s temperament, he must have sent someone to search for it at that time. Since he didn’t find it here for three days and three nights, it means it is. This place is very hidden. She smiled slightly and said, “Then I’ll bother sister Gui.”

“You’re welcome,” Gui sister-in-law said, “I haven’t asked the girl’s name yet.”

Jiang Ruan said: “My name is Ruan Niang.”

“Lady Ruan.” Gui’s sister-in-law said: “It’s a good name. The girl looks like a girl from a big family. I just hope that we don’t despise us here.”

Jiang Ruan shook his head again, exchanged a few words with Gui sister-in-law, and Gui sister-in-law asked her to leave first.

Sitting on the bed, Jiang Ruan was lost in thought. She didn’t know what was going on outside. She wanted to send news to Xiao Shao, but who knew if Yuanchuan’s people would guard outside. Although she hasn’t been found for the time being, she may be waiting for her to fall into the trap. Moreover, it is not safe to run around with a child now, so it is better to just rest and wait for the child to be born before thinking about going out. At that time, the matter about Yuanchuan has also been resolved.

It’s just that Xiao Shao must be worried again, and Jiang Ruan is a little worried.

After Jiang Ruan woke up, because he was still very weak, he hadn’t left the house a few days ago. It was also Gui Ji brought the meal to the bed for her to eat. Sister Gui was originally a farmer, but she was very good to Jiang Ruan. The two brothers in Dashanshan and Xiaoshan often caught pheasants and hares when they went out hunting every day. Sister Gui also changed her method to help Jiang Ruan. Anyone who treats a stranger in this way will be very moved.

On the third day, Jiang Ruan went out. Wife Gui hurried a piece of clothes for Jiang Ruan to wear for several nights. Wife Gui’s figure is much fatter than Jiang Ruan, and Jiang Ruan can’t wear her clothes anymore. Sister Gui’s man died early. It was she who brought the two brothers Dashanshan to grow up. I heard that Sister Gui liked her daughter very much when she was young, and probably regarded Jiang Ruan as the daughter of a gift from above.

She took the new clothes to Jiang Ruan, which also happened to be a seaweed red sarong. Although the material was not particularly good, it was also comfortable. The begonia flowers embroidered on the top are also very delicate. Gui Gui said: “This was given by a relative who was doing business outside during the Chinese New Year a few years ago. I can’t pass this material. Your young girl’s dress is just right.”

Jiang Ruan nodded, washed his face again, combed a broken bun, smiled and thanked Gui Gui. Wife Gui was stunned for a moment before she said, “Niang Ruan, you are so good-looking.”

Wife Gui could see that this woman was good-looking, but Jiang Ruan stayed on the couch on weekdays, her expression was haggard and pale, and even the most beautiful people didn’t look very energetic. Now that the condition is better, the whole person is energetic, once he washes his face and puts on bright clothes, it is completely different. Sister Gui was happy in her heart. She was probably happy that she picked up the treasure, and was eager to show the big guy how beautiful Jiang Ruansheng’s looks. Some childish people pushed Jiang Ruan out and said with a smile: “You also go outside. Well, be careful and boring in the house all day long.”

Dashan and Xiaoshan were cooking medicine in front of the door, and Xiaoshan fanned and said angrily: “Mother, I don’t care about us lately. Most of the chicken soup stewed yesterday was served to that woman. Brother, do you think she is a vixen, why? Just fascinated the mother?”

“Nonsense.” Dashan was angry and funny: “Vixies are not used like this.” When he looked up, he was about to teach his brother a few words, but saw his mother pulling a woman in red out of the house. .

The girl had red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows and eyes. Although her expression was gentle, she was bright and indispensable. She looked like the heavenly charm, the nine-day goddess, and the crimson clothes lined her skin with snow. Seeing him look over, the woman smiled slightly, and the curvature of the corners of her lips immediately made Dashan stare blankly, and suddenly became at a loss.

“Dashan, this is Lady Ruan, this is the mountain and the hill.” Gui sister-in-law looked at the mountain and the hill with a smile. When I came to the hill with a displeased face to meet Jiang Ruan, he was stunned. For a while, he stuttered: “Mother…Who is this?”

“This is the girl your elder brother rescued,” Gui sister-in-law said: “It’s not enough.”

Jiang Ruan stepped forward and bowed to the two brothers, saying, “Thank you for your help.”

Dashan is only sixteen this year, and Xiaoshan is only 13. It is not an exaggeration to call the little brother, but the mountains and hills flushed immediately. Don’t blame them, they have never seen such a beautiful woman, who is not the same beauty as any woman in this village. At first they thought that Chen Xiaomei in Mr. Chen’s family who would reciting the Book of Songs was the most beautiful, but Chen Xiaomei seemed to be insignificant in front of this woman, and could not be compared at all.

The two brothers watched in a daze. Wife Gui was a little funny, so she said, “Okay don’t look, let’s go, Ruan Niang, I will take you out to have a look.”

The two Xiaoshan brothers rescued a fairy, and the incident spread throughout the village that day. Many people want to see each other when they come to visit and give some food gifts, but Jiang Ruan listens to Gui’s wife, and usually walks around the village to relax, which is good for the children. The air here is fresh and there are many trees. If there is something wrong, people will watch it everywhere.

Jiang Ruan is already pregnant when he is pregnant, which is also something that can’t be covered. At first everyone thought she should find her husband soon after she was pregnant, but there was no movement at all for so long. Someone who could not hold back asked her what was going on. Jiang Ruan didn’t let her keep her secret, so she told the truth. Everyone immediately felt sorrow and sympathy for Jiang Ruan’s experience, and at the same time, they couldn’t understand the cruel man, such a beautiful woman who had such a gentle temperament, how could anyone be willing to hurt?

Suddenly, some people have thoughts in their minds. If Jiang Ruan stayed here for the rest of his life and gave birth to such a beautiful girl, if he could marry him, he would really be lucky. So there are people who send things to Xiao Sanniang’s house every three to five, and they also ask the hill to send things to Jiang Ruan. Naturally, they are all courteous. The young guy often took Jiang Ruan to eat at home, and Jiang Ruan received a great deal of hospitality here.

Wife Gui was very happy. She thought that there were many excellent young men among them. Since they could take care of Jiang Ruan for life, if Jiang Ruan could marry, the child in her belly would be regarded as having a father. Say goodbye completely and start a new life again. It’s just that Jiang Ruan is gentle to everyone, but it doesn’t seem to have that meaning. Wife Gui thinks that Jiang Ruan is hurt too deeply and it takes some time, so she is not in a hurry and only lets Jiang Ruan choose well.

Jiang Ruan naturally knew the kindness of these villagers, and those young admirers were all seen in her eyes, but she had no thoughts at all. It was just a casual lie, but these days I miss Xiao Shao more and more. I don’t know how he is now. If I can’t get the news from myself, I’m sure to be very anxious, but my belly is getting bigger day by day, and I will have two more days. I’m afraid that the month will have to give birth. At this moment, it is better not to have extra branches.

She sat in front of the door and made some clothes with Sister Gui. What she made was small clothes for her children. In those days under house arrest, because I was afraid of being noticed, I dared not make clothes. Now as the belly grows up day by day, it is time to make some children’s clothes. Wife Gui chooses good and comfortable materials that will not scratch the delicate skin of children. While Jiang Ruan and her were doing it, Gui sister-in-law said: “You have made all the clothes for men and women. I like my daughter. Do you like my son or my daughter?”

Jiang Ruan was startled slightly, and then he smiled and said, “I think it would be fine if he was a son.” If he is a son born like Xiao Shao, he is also a beautiful and picturesque child, but don’t inherit his father’s cold temper. , It would be nice if it were more lively. But Xiao Shao can teach him martial arts, Xiao Shao should also be happy.

“I think it’s good to have a daughter. If the daughter is as beautiful as you, then the beggers may have crossed the threshold of your house.” Gui sister-in-law said with a smile.

Jiang Ruan also laughed. Xiao Shao should have wanted a daughter. On the surface, he looked indifferent, but in fact he was attentive. If there is a daughter who hangs on his neck and acts like a baby at him every day, Jiang Ruan can’t help but think about it.” Pouch” laughed out loud.

Seeing her laughing, Wife Gui thought she was thinking of something happy, so she also laughed: “Hey, I said that if the baby is the best, one child and one daughter are also lively…”

As she was talking, she saw Dashan come back with a load of firewood. Mother Dashan hurriedly picked up the firewood and put it in her warehouse, and said to Dashan: “You talk to Lady Ruan, I will come right away.” Dashan stood in front of the door. , Scratching his head, looked at Jiang Ruan shyly.

He also didn’t expect that the woman he rescued would be so beautiful. The young men in the village envied him and asked him to bring some small gifts to Lady Ruan. Da Shan can’t speak, and always likes to watch her secretly. He knew that Lady Ruan was from a large family, and the masters who studied most in the village praised Lady Ruan as a talented woman. She knows many words, has a gentle temperament, and does not have the tweaks of an ordinary daughter. She is very generous and looks good.

Da Shan is also a young boy who has a new love, and it is normal for girls who like beautiful looks. Besides, this girl was rescued by herself. In the story, she likes to talk about promises of her body. Dashan knew that Lady Ruan had a vicious husband who was being hunted down while pregnant, and she felt distressed, thinking that there should be such a cruel person in the world. But he was stupid and didn’t know how to please Ms. Ruan. For example, when his mother told her, he just looked at Ms. Ruan and smiled honestly.

Jiang Ruan looked at it, but only smiled, looking at Dashan and said: “Today is also hard work, little brother.”

Hearing this, Dashan was even more at a loss, scratching his head and said, “No hard work, haha, no hard work.”
