Chapter 23: Three Immortals
The moon is above the sky, the wind and snow are blowing, and the tranquility of the night makes people silent and also hesitant.
In Zhujiazhuang, in the small courtyard of Coach Zhang's family, the windows and doors were closed, and the dim light shone on Zhang Zhenniang's face. The originally pretty and gentle face was covered with fatigue, and the harsh sound of wind and snow outside was blowing wantonly.
The heart of this ill-fated woman was so shaken that she could not calm down.
Seeing her like this, Coach Zhang on the side sighed bitterly and said, "Son, that person has been kneeling in the courtyard for half an hour with a thorn stick on his back. Is it true that we haven't seen her yet?"
When Zhang Zhenniang heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She could only hold back the tears and forced herself to calm down: "Dad, my fate with him has ended. It would be better not to see each other than not."
When his mother, Mrs. Li, heard what he said, she let out a long sigh and said inexplicably: "If our fate is really over, why would you accept those riding boots of yours?"
Zhang Zhenniang was startled and looked at the half-sewn riding boots in her hands. She squeezed out a wry smile and said: "This is not for him, but for Erlang. He is so energetic all day long that he has to wear tight shoes."
Well, my daughter has to protect and respect her three younger brothers in every possible way, and she has nothing else to repay, so she can only do trivial things."
"Mom is not talking about the pair in your hand, but the pair you hid under the bed." Li said quietly.
The fluttering words fell into Zhang Zhenniang's ears, but she could no longer bear the misery in her heart. Her tears fell silently like a broken bead curtain, falling on the boots in her hands, splashing with tears.
Seeing this scene, Coach Zhang sighed heavily, stood up and said, "That's all, it's not a problem to let him kneel outside all the time. As a father, I will go out and take a look for you."
I saw Coach Zhang walking a few steps outside and opening the door. The bright moonlight shone in the courtyard. Wherever he looked, Lin Chong was naked to the waist, carrying a bundle of thorns covered with barbs on his back, with blood on his back.
Whooping, he knelt straight in the middle of the courtyard.
"Lin Chong, what do you want to do when you behave like this? Do you want to force my poor son to death?" Coach Zhang walked up to Lin Chong and said with a sullen expression.
Lin Chong twisted his frozen body and said in a hoarse voice: "Father-in-law, please let me see Zhenniang. Lin Chong has something to say..."
"Your fate with my daughter has ended, but don't call me father-in-law. I can't afford it. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly without seeing my daughter." Teacher Zhang said with a serious face.
"Yue... Coach Zhang..."
Lin Chong said with a bitter look on his face: "Lin Chong knows that he can't live up to Zhen Niang, and he can't live up to you two elders either. Now he has come to his senses and is willing to atone for his sins."
"Would you like to atone for your sins? How can you atone for your sins? Lin Chong, Lin Chong, do you know that overturning water cannot be recovered?"
Coach Zhang looked at Lin Chong kneeling in the snow in front of him, with a complex expression on his face. When he first found this Lin Chong, he thought he had found a good match for his daughter.
After the two got married, they were indeed loving and harmonious. However, the incident between Gao Yanei and Gao Taiwei exposed the weaknesses of Lin Chong's character. Every time he thought about the cause and effect, Coach Zhang was extremely disappointed with Lin Chong.
When Lin Chong heard this, his head was lowered, and he said solemnly: "Lin Chong knows that it is difficult to be forgiven, so he only hopes to be forgiven by Zhenniang and his two elders. Lin Chong is willing to be a cow or a horse to repay the debt he owed.
"
When Coach Zhang saw his appearance, he sighed again, lamenting that he was a hero and was short of breath, and also lamented that he was entangled with his own daughter.
Instructor Zhang was about to speak when he heard the creaking sound of the door opening behind him. Zhang Zhenniang walked out slowly holding two pieces of paper, one red and one white.
"Dad, help him up so that people can see the joke."
Zhang Zhenniang said something to Coach Zhang. After the other party stood up, she walked to Lin Chong, handed two pieces of paper, one red and one white, to Lin Chong and said: "Coach Lin, these are your letters of appointment and divorce.
And give it back to you."
"Zhenniang...you..."
Lin Chong took the letters of engagement and divorce with a dazed look on his face. Looking at the lover in front of him who had been with him day and night, there were so many words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say them out.
Zhang Zhenniang didn't care what he wanted to say, she looked at Lin Chong and said, "Does Coach Lin want to reunite with me after everything he said today?"
Hearing this question, Lin Chong nodded numbly, then shook his head, then nodded again, his heart was filled with butterflies in his stomach, and he was completely confused.
"Coach Lin, do you know that the Zhang Zhenniang of today is no longer the Zhang Zhenniang of the past, and you are no longer the gun and stick instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army."
Zhang Zhenniang laughed foolishly and said meaningfully: "Now that I have been adopted by Mrs. Zhu as an adopted daughter, the three sons of the Zhu family treat me like a real sister. My Sanlang is a famous figure in the world. Even if I don't do anything for the rest of my life,
If you work hard, you can grow rich and old; but now you are just a helper in trouble, Coach Lin, why should I reunite with you again?"
Lin Chong was shocked when he heard this and froze on the spot. He felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing through his heart. He was so painful that he couldn't breathe. His body was tense, and his heavy breathing pulled at the wound on his back. He was bleeding, but he seemed to have no feeling at all.
After a long while, Lin Chong was about to speak when he heard Zhang Zhenniang say again: "Lin Chong, I know you have me in your heart, and I still have you in my heart, but it is impossible for me to be with you again like this. If you really want to be with me,
I'm going to get back together again, and you have to meet one of my conditions."
"Even if there are 10,000 conditions, Lin Chong will work hard to meet them."
When Lin Chong heard this, he felt that his heart that had almost died just now was rejuvenated, and he responded with excitement.
"In the past, Fan Xuanzi of the Jin Dynasty once asked the official Shusun Bao what immortality was. Shusun Bao replied: The supreme leader establishes virtue, the second is meritorious service, and the third is speech. Even if it is not abolished for a long time, this is called immortality."
Zhang Zhenniang said with a serious face: "Lin Chong, if you achieve one of these three immortalities, I will marry you again."
As soon as Zhang Zhenniang finished speaking, she saw the door of the small courtyard being pushed open from the outside. Zhu Biao supported Zhu Chaofeng, followed by Zhu Long and Zhu Hu, who walked in.
I saw Zhu Chaofeng looking at Zhang Zhenniang with a satisfied look on his face, and said proudly: "This is what I wish my parents and daughters should have."
How could Zhang Zhenniang not know the purpose of Zhu Chaofeng and his son's visit? She felt her eyes were sore. Her tenacity when she was talking to Lin Chong could no longer be maintained, and her tears fell like a broken bead curtain.
Zhu Chaofeng stepped forward and took Zhang Zhenniang's hand, patted it gently, and said with a loving expression: "Silly boy, although you are not my biological child, I still treat you as my biological daughter. No matter what happens, you will always be there for me."
Don’t worry, I and your three brothers will make the decision for you.”
Zhu Chaofeng comforted Zhang Zhenniang for a few words, then turned to Lin Chong and said, "How is it? Coach Lin."
Lin Chong looked at the scene, but he didn't feel any discomfort in his heart. He was also very happy that Zhang Zhenniang could get the sincere protection of Zhu's father and son. He also understood that his wife still had her own feelings in her heart, and she only hurt her too deeply.
This is the current situation.
Lin Chong untied the thorns on his back, raised his right hand, raised his three fingers to the sky, and solemnly said: "I, Lin Chong, swear here that I will do my best to fulfill the conditions in this life. When the conditions are fulfilled, I will be ten miles away and I will come again to offer you a job."
