Two more days passed, and the Yun Family Courtyard was still peaceful. Haizi didn't see Monroe again in the past two days. He was ordered to serve the injured soldier and couldn't live without her.
Fortunately, this soldier only suffered a slight injury on his right shoulder. Soldiers all carry first-aid medicine with them. He can just bandage it, so Haizi doesn't need to worry too much about taking care of him.
On the morning of the fourth day, Mr. Yun was about to send those soldiers away. Because after Wang Zhankui buried the second master Wang in the grassland, he took up the pole with his injured beards, and there was no sign that he would come back.
"Squad Leader Wu, I can't keep you here all the time. You still have official duties. Let brothers eat more and drink as much as you can. Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I, Yun, am deeply grateful! Wait for the meal. After dinner, I will ask Mr. Zhao to take you back, and he will take care of all arrangements on the way."
Squad leader Wu also said a few polite words to Mr. Yun as usual, and then nodded his thanks with the reward money given by Mr. Yun. Haizi guessed that the amount must be quite large. Seeing squad leader Wu happily leading his brothers to eat, he could conclude that Mr. Yun was bleeding again this time.
Mr. Yun turned around and came to the house where Mr. Zhao lived. He had something important to explain to Mr. Zhao. In addition to asking him to send the soldiers back again, he might also ask Mr. Zhao to do bigger things, because he had asked Mr. Zhao to do something bigger. Haizi also sent his troops out.
"Brother Zhao, you still have to work hard. We are now at odds with Wang Zhankui. We don't know when he will come for revenge. Take the money and let Mengze get some good guns and more. Bullets, try to get everyone to have bullets in their hands, and it’s no problem to guard them for a day or two, so we won’t be afraid.”
"How many guns can you buy with that much money?"
Mr. Zhao felt that the owner was too generous. He couldn't spend so much money to buy the gun at the market price, so it was better to save a little.
"The rest of the money will be given to Mengze, let him manage it and improve it. If he can become a group leader, the beards in Dulong Mountain will not dare to mess with us.
These days, nothing can be done without spending money. Tell Mengze, don’t be reluctant to spend money. Also, ask the matchmaker to come over when you pass by her house. "
Faced with Master Yun's instructions, Zhao Shiyuan said nothing more. These days, it's hard not to have money, but it's not easy to have money. Second Master Yun was so worried about this family that he sent his own sons to serve as soldiers, and spent a lot of money.
After seeing off the soldiers, peace returned to the Yun family compound, and everyone went to do whatever they were supposed to do. Haizi saw that a lot of horse manure had accumulated in the horse pen in the past few days, so he got a pickaxe to dig out the horse manure, and then picked it out basket by basket.
Second Master Yun usually does not deliberately arrange for Haizi to do any work. He knows that Haizi sees work and knows what he should do. This is why everyone in the Yun family likes Haizi more, because the child who is not yet sixteen years old, It's pretty good to be able to do this.
When it got dark, Haizi finished picking the last load of horse manure. At this time, the horses that had been let out during the day also rushed back to the horse pen. When Haizi saw Sixizi walking out of the backyard with her quilt in her arms, he went up to say hello.
"Sixizi, look what are you doing in such a hurry holding the quilt?"
"If you want to go back to live in the farm yard, there are so many pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. that have to be fed. It's more convenient to go back to the farm yard."
Sixizi answered helplessly. It seemed that he was not very satisfied with going back to live in Changyuan.
"Isn't there someone from the second mother's family living there?"
"That family is too lazy. Most of the work has to be done by my fourth sister and me. Besides, the matchmaker is coming again, so she will probably have to stay here tonight."
After Xi Xizi finished speaking, he went to Nanchang Courtyard. Although Haizi was still a little confused, he did not continue to ask. He suddenly felt very flustered. He had been on tenterhooks these days and couldn't cheer up at all.
Haizi also had nightmares this night, and the arrival of the matchmaker made him panic. Haizi suddenly had a strange idea and wanted to run out of the compound with Monroe.
He thought that if he and Monroe could go to a big city to make a living and come back in a few years, they would be like the young lady from the rich man's family and the man she was passionately in love with in the story told by his mother.
But on the other hand, if I think about it, with the power of the Yun family, I can be found wherever I go. Besides, if I run away, what will my mother, sister, brother, and the whole family do? He couldn't sleep well all night just because of these thoughts, and he had nightmares when he closed his eyes.
Throughout the day, Haizi was tormented by some weird ideas, and he often lost his mind while working.
At night, he still had to keep vigil for the first half of the night. But he came down many times during the night, his eyes always glancing towards Monroe's house, and his heart could not calm down.
He was also discovered twice by Mr. Yun, but he made excuses every time. After finally staying up until midnight, Haizi called Shajiuzi up to replace him.
Seeing Sha Jiuzi walking up to the fort, Haizi drove Hei Lang back to the backyard, closed the moon door, and immediately got back into the house. I thought to myself that Monroe would probably come again.
Sure enough, when he walked into the house, Monroe was already standing quietly in the dark shadow. Seeing Monroe's arrival, Haizi didn't seem particularly surprised, but he was still a little surprised. This was something he expected, but also something he didn't know how to deal with.
"The matchmaker left today, and the bride price has been decided. The wedding date has also been decided, it's the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and there's still more than a month left. What should we do?"
Monroe stood in the darkness and spoke to Haizi. She couldn't see clearly her expression at the moment, but there was a cry in her voice and her whole body was shaking. It seemed that the sky was about to collapse, leaving the two young people in despair at this moment. Among!
"How could it be so fast! Didn't your father ask you what you think?"
"I said no, but dad still decided. What can I do?"
"What does Grandma Yun think? You can ask Grandma to tell your father. Mr. Yun still has to listen to her words."
"Grandma also went to talk, but dad didn't listen to her and insisted that I must get married as soon as possible. Grandma had no choice."
"Our fate is really bad, but don't be too sad. Let's put it all together."
"What can I do? My arms can't twist my thighs. What day is that day?" Monroe suddenly changed the subject.
"It's the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still one month and twenty days left before the New Year. I have already engraved that date in my heart!"
"Remember, we got married on that day. Although there was no wedding, there was evidence from heaven and earth that Hei Lang was our matchmaker.
From that day on, I am your wife, and you are my man. I will never forget you in this life!
No matter how many years it is, no matter what day it comes, we will still come together! No matter how long it lasts, our hearts will never change. Even in the next life, we will be together! "
Monroe's grief and anger mixed with her sad confession made Haizi feel like a knife.
"I will never forget it! I will never marry again in this life. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you. I swear to heaven and earth!" Haizi, who has not yet reached adulthood, shed tears: "I am really sorry for you. I shouldn't be like that. Even if I die, I will never forget you!" I still can’t understand how good you have been to me, I am willing to repay you for the rest of my life!”
Monroe stepped forward and covered Haizi's mouth to prevent him from continuing. She took out a handkerchief from her arms, gently wiped away Haizi's tears, and then stuffed the handkerchief into Haizi's pocket with trembling movements and a sad voice.
