Embers of the Huntress

Untitled 4-1

After the bridal party took the bride away, the neighbors on the Tong side of the family didn't disperse and gathered together to talk about the four brothers of the Xiao family.

Someone mentioned Song Zhishi.

“From the opening of the banquet this kid has disappeared, it's still hard in your heart, isn't it?”

“Not only is it hard, I saw clearly when Xiao Shan tested his brother-in-law, Song Zhishi couldn't wait for the groom to make a fool of himself, but the result was that not only was his kung fu good, but his learning was also good, so the literary poem was answered with his mouth open, and he could see that Song Zhishi was dumbfounded, and his face was all gray.”

“Indeed can not compare ah, unless Mr. Song back to the capital as an official, otherwise in our place, talent really can not compare to a strong body.”

“Back to the capital? The courtroom is full of a bunch of corrupt officials, Mr. Song refused to go with the flow of dirt before returning to the mountains, unless ......”

The latter words were a bit dangerous, and everyone resumed chatting about the marriage in front of them.

Next door to the Tong family, Song Lan pushed open the door of the west house, and saw his son lying on his back on the bed with his hands and feet spread out, his eyes empty and his face withered, a look of disillusionment and laziness.

Song Lan only felt funny, walked to the edge of the kang, condescendingly looked at his son: “A Tong Sui is just a Tong Sui, is it worth it?”

Before they went into hiding, their father and son lived in a prosperous city, and their son had seen many beauties, so why was he so obsessed with Tong Sui?

Song Lan really couldn't figure it out.

Song Zhishi rolled over and turned his back to his father.

Song Lan knew his son's knot, and said, “My father will not stay dormant here for the rest of his life. When my Song family returns to the scene of prosperity, you will be able to choose from all the fat and skinny swallows, so why worry about marrying a beautiful wife from a high family?”

Tong Sui is indeed beautiful, is a delightful neighbor girl, but unfortunately the birth is too low, not enough to match with his son, can marry that Xiao family son is already lucky.

Song Zhi Shi listened to his father's tone as if everything was a foregone conclusion, and slowly turned his head back to look directly at that elegant and refined face, and asked, “When you become prosperous, will you also re-marry a beautiful wife from a high family?”

Song Lan's face changed slightly, thinking of his wife who died in the chaos.

Song Zhi Shi knew that his father had affection for his mother, and he lay down again, closing his eyes and saying, “No matter how many beauties there are, only one of them is special, and that's what Ah Man is to me.”

He would never forget the scene when he first met Tong Sui in his life.

At that time, he had just moved with his father to this remote village in the mountain valley, only to feel that everywhere bitter son no longer hope, and then, an eleven or twelve year old girl suddenly ran over from afar, white cheeks black bright eyes, like the first ray of warm light after the rain penetrated through the clouds, illuminating all the surrounding scenery.

Six years of childhood sweethearts, only because of her father's sectarian prejudice, in the end she still married someone else.
