Chapter 53: They Died Because of Me
Under the stars, in the vast horse market, the horse farm that had been noisy for a long time finally gradually subsided.
Looking at the chaotic horse market, Chen Yan's heart was quite uncomfortable, the scattered corpses constantly stimulated his mind, and the dark red blood stains made his heart full of guilt.
"Hey, this horse farm is over, when are you going to pay me money?"
The man who lost the horse saw that the horse market had calmed down, so he walked to Chen Yan's side exhausted and asked, to be honest, he didn't want to stay in this horse market for a moment, just this afternoon, he didn't know how many times he wandered on the edge of life and death, if it wasn't for his fate, it is estimated that he would have died under the horse's hooves.
After hearing the man's voice, Chen Yan glanced up at him, and then lowered his head again, staring at the ground silently without saying a word.
When did Chen Yan cause others to suffer, in normal times, even if someone provoked him, he didn't think about asking for the other party's life in the past, but now there are so many people who have lost their lives because of his mistakes, how can he accept it.
When the man saw Chen Yan glance up at him, but then lowered his head again, he was a little dissatisfied: "Boy, what do you mean by not talking?"
"You say, if I hadn't chased that person, wouldn't they have died?"
Hearing the man ask himself, Chen Yan raised his head, as if he was asking himself, and as if he was asking the man, his tone was inexplicably helpless.
"Nonsense! If you don't chase that firewood stick, can the horse market be in chaos? ”
After hearing Chen Yan's inquiry, the man blurted out without thinking about it, if Chen Yan hadn't chased the tall and thin man everywhere, his little black would not have been lost.
Listening to the man's answer, Chen Yan lowered his head again, the other party's words undoubtedly affirmed his sins, so many people died because of him, what should he do?
When the man saw Chen Yan's appearance, he was a little puzzled, when would he lose money but give a happy word, did he want to repay the debt.
Thinking of this, the man slowly walked in front of Chen Yan, and then said in a cold voice: "Boy, I'm not a rich family, it's not appropriate for you to rely on your debts like this!"
Looking at the corpse in the horse market, Chen Yan didn't have the heart to look for the black horse, so he looked up at the man and said, "I will naturally pay you your money, you don't have to worry." ”
And when the man saw that Chen Yan had no idea of repaying the debt, his tone couldn't help but soften: "Then when are you going to give it to me?"
"When I find a friend, the money will be given to you. ”
At this time, Chen Yan also had dozens of silver coins on his body, where could he have the money to pay to the other party, he could only wait until he found the gold before giving it.
"Oh, where's your friend?"
Hearing Chen Yan say this, the man asked again, if it was far away, he planned to follow Chen Yan to find it, so as not to let Chen Yan run away when the time came.
Hearing the man's inquiry, Chen Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know, I got lost with it, and I'm looking for it now." ”
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard this, the man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately annoyed: "Boy, you are fooling me!"
"I'm playing tricks on you, my money is all in gold, and now I don't have any money to pay you. ”
Seeing that the man was a little annoyed, Chen Yan explained to him, and then looked at the corpse on the grass and fell into deep thought.
"Huh. ”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, the man was even angry: "Your money is in the gold, my money is also in the gold! You can't treat me as a fool, you think your home is on the top of the gold mine." ”
"Huh?"
After hearing the man's angry shout, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it turned out that the other party had misunderstood his words, so he quickly explained: "You misunderstood what I meant, this gold is not the other gold, this gold is a dog that I raised since I was a child, because it is yellow, I named it gold." ”
After listening to Chen Yan's words, although the man was not so annoyed, he was still a little suspicious, so he continued to ask: "Then what do you mean by saying that your money is in gold?"
Chen Yan saw that the other party was still not satisfied with his statement, so he patiently explained to the other party again: "It is not convenient to carry those coins on your body, there is a different space in the body of gold, so I will keep the money there." ”
"I see. ”
Hearing Chen Yan say this, the man also understood, it turned out that he had misunderstood Chen Yan's meaning, so he smiled awkwardly: "It's my fault." ”
"Out of the way. ”
Seeing that the man believed his words, Chen Yan shook his head lightly, and then turned his gaze to the corpse on the grass.
These corpses were as dazzling as charcoal in the snow, impacting Chen Yan's heart all the time, making his heart full of fear and uneasiness.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing that Chen Yan was a little absent-minded, his eyes kept staring ahead, and his eyelids didn't blink, so the man couldn't help but ask.
"They resent me. ”
Looking at the corpse in front of him, Chen Yan's voice was filled with a trace of fear, mixed with boundless guilt, he really couldn't accept the death of these people, if he didn't chase the thin and tall man, why would it cause such a tragedy.
After hearing Chen Yan's words, the man followed Chen Yan's gaze, and then saw a corpse lying on the grass.
The corpse's chest was sunken, and his left arm was missing, presumably broken by a horse and thrown elsewhere.
And the grass around the corpse was even more dark red, which needless to say was stained red by the blood flowing from the corpse, and the dark red grass looked a little bloody under the moonlit night, and the corpse looked even more miserable.
"What's wrong? Haven't you seen a dead person?"
Looking at Chen Yan's slightly immature face, the man seemed to understand something, so he slowly sat down beside Chen Yan.
"They died because of me. ”
Chen Yan said in a trance, and his face showed a look of guilt.
Listening to Chen Yan's words, the man chuckled and said, "So what, you didn't kill the person." ”
"They, because of, I, and, die!"
After hearing the man's chuckle, Chen Yan turned his head directly, stared at the man, and repeated what he had just said word by word.
Looking at Chen Yan's serious eyes, the man was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, they died because of you, but what can this be? ”
Listening to the man's words, Chen Yan lowered his head helplessly, and then slowly closed his eyes: "Your horse can be compensated with gold coins, but what should I pay for their lives?"
After finishing speaking, Chen Yan was silent, seeing this situation, the man didn't know what to say.
After a while, Chen Yan gradually opened his eyes again, then looked at the man and said: "Debt repayment, murder to pay for life, your horse was lost because of me, I should compensate you for your gold coins and money, they died because of me, I should pay them back my life!"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, the man was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded: "Although the words are so, they were not killed by you after all, the deceased is gone, you don't need to do this." ”
"You know, I can feel that they are resenting me, and if I don't pay them back with my life, then what can I do to compensate them!"
After hearing the man's words, Chen Yan turned his gaze to the corpse on the grass again, the scarlet blood told the sorrow of the deceased all the time, and the mutilated corpse kept exuding his own resentment, all of which made Chen Yan more and more uneasy.
Looking at Chen Yan's uneasy expression, the man stretched out his hand and pressed Chen Yan's shoulder and said: "The dead are dead, but the living are still alive, these people died because of you, you naturally can't escape the involvement, but if you die, do you think they will forgive you?"
Listening to the man's words, Chen Yan couldn't help but bow his head and whispered: "Naturally, it won't, but after I die, I can somewhat reduce my guilt." ”
Seeing that Chen Yan was so stubborn, the man was also a little helpless: "I said that you are so young, why can't you think about it like this?"
After hearing the man's words, Chen Yan slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and then said in a firm tone: "No, I think very clearly, everyone must learn to be responsible for their own actions, since they died because of me, I have to be responsible for their deaths, I have no choice but to die." ”
"Hey, hey, boy, calm down, put down the sword, have you thought about it, if you die, how sad your parents will be!"
Seeing Chen Yan pull out his sword, the man was immediately startled, and then hurriedly persuaded Chen Yan.
But after Chen Yan heard the man's words, he stopped what he was doing.
"yes, what about Daddy's hatred?"
Chen Yan's mind has always been entangled by the things in front of him, but he forgot about his father's affairs, and now that he thinks about it, if he dies, then there will be no one to avenge his father's revenge, in this case, wouldn't his father die without turning a blind eye.
But if he doesn't die, how will these people in the horse market compensate for the deaths?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan was also in a dilemma.
"Whew~"
Seeing Chen Yan put down the sword, the man also couldn't help but sigh, and then continued: "As I said just now, the dead are dead, but the living are alive after all, these people who died in the horse market have their own relatives, and now that they are dead, who should take care of their families? ”
"Yes, the living are still alive. ”
Listening to the man's words, Chen Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Speaking from the heart, if you put yourself in their position, then you don't want the people involved in you to die, in that case, what should your family do?
But if the other party is willing to take care of his family, in that case, although he is still a little angry, he is better than the other party dying a hundred times.
"Hey, you understand. ”
The man saw that Chen Yan was no longer stubborn but begged to die, so he relaxed.
After a while, the man continued: "Since you have figured it out, let's hurry up and find your golden dog, after finding it, you can pay back my money, or you can take care of the family for the deceased, killing two birds with one stone, how good." ”
After hearing the man's words, Chen Yan turned his head and glanced at him, no wonder the other party persuaded him so much, it turned out to be for his money.
But Chen Yan had to admit that the other party had some truth in what he said, so he didn't delay too much, and got up directly to find gold.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Chen Yan and the man came to the gate of the horse market.
At this time, torches were lit everywhere in the horse market, and the burning torches brought some light to the dark night, and the two doorposts at the door were full of vigorous flames, which illuminated the whole doorway as bright as day.
On the left side of the door, there was a person sitting on the Taishi chair, his square face was tiger-eyed, and his face was extremely majestic, this person was the boss of the horse market that Chen Yan saw at noon.
Seeing this, Chen Yan didn't want to do much, so he planned to leave here silently.
As a result, Chen Yan had just taken two steps, and then he heard a slightly frightened voice coming from the owner of the horse market.
"He's the big, big, big boss, and the horse market is all messed up because of him. ”
