Volume 2 Jingcheng Treasure Hunt (1) Miscellaneous Matters Chapter 49 Old Acquaintances, Broken Dreams
Uncle Qin's name is Qin Erzhu, and in the early years, he was a farmer in a remote area in the Lingyun Continent. Because he has always been diligent, kind to others, and hard work, he never said he was tired.
Finally, when his wife was three months pregnant, he was elected by the crowd to be the patriarch of the small tribe.
But the good times didn't last long, and natural and man-made disasters have continued over the years. There is no shortage of ignorant people in the clan, and by chance, there was a dispute in the clan senate because of a profitable matter.
Although at the meeting, Uncle Qin adopted the arrangement of a minority obeying the majority and tried his best to disagree with the public, and some elders in the clan reluctantly responded, but there were also many people looking for trouble behind the scenes.
Everyone knows that Qin Erzhu is a spoiled wife, and Li Xiangyu is also a good talker. If you can say that she will blow the pillow wind, a decision will not be changed just by saying that it will be changed.
Unfortunately, they just bumped into Li Xiangyu when she was more than eight months pregnant.
Although Li Xiangyu has more say in the family, she is not the kind of woman who wants to interfere without authorization, and even asks her husband to act according to her own ideas.
Her attitude was tough, and the people in the clan were not happy with all kinds of goals, and she even pushed and shoved her words. even began to speak unscrupulously, scolding, and all kinds of ugly and vicious words fell on this woman who was weak and pregnant.
Li Xiangyu is not a spineless person, he doesn't cry or make trouble. Directly took the broom and wanted to drive people away, but how could the people of the clan who did not get a satisfactory answer want to leave.
Several people glanced at each other, two people grabbed the broom one by one, and one person took the opportunity to grab Li Xiangyu from behind.
It was the hundred-year-old patriarch of the Wang family who signaled them to restrain Li Xiangyu, and it stands to reason that he should have abdicated a long time ago.
But as soon as the village elders announced last year that she should abdicate and make way for Xian, she came to Qin's house to splash and roll, cry and scold, and always tried to hit Li Xiangyu.
Li Xiangyu avoided it in a hurry at that time, this old woman Wang is a well-known scoundrel, once she is relied on, she must have the consciousness of being torn off a layer of skin.
At that time, it was a critical time for Qin Erzhu to compete with the patriarch, and she still gritted her teeth and endured it. In the end, Qin Erzhu listened to his daughter-in-law's worries, and couldn't bear to worry about her anymore, and finally tried his best to keep people behind despite public opinion, who would have thought that this would become a deep bane.
"Sister-in-law Yu, it's not what we want to do, it's really that he Qin Erzhu is too much! They are all people from the same family with the surname of our king, they can make money, why should we suffer this loss?"
Obviously, he is open-eyed and scoundrels, and the people of the Wang family still look like our most aggrieved "weakling". Li Xiangyu laughed happily:
"Why? You didn't open your mouth when the clan held a meeting? What wouldn't protest and oppose yourself? It's quite good when you bully orphans and widows here!"
"Li Xiangyu, it seems that you don't eat oil and salt, and you have an iron heart after eating the scales!"
"Yes, a group of Wang Balambs who are afraid of hard and soft bullying, the old lady is not false!" The dispute between the two sides became more and more intense, and it was not easy to appease the villagers who failed to compete for the project, but Qin Erzhu, who was about to go home, suddenly had a palpitation.
Thinking of the yin and yang weirdness of the elders of the Zhang and Wang families in the daytime, the inexplicable panic can't be stopped. He quickened his pace, and at last he was almost running wildly, because from a distance, there was no trace of popularity in the home that had long been smoked.
If you get closer, you can see the familiar mud house, the firewood room is hidden, and the dark red blood stains flow from the inside out. Not far away, there were long wooden sticks stained with bright red blood that had been discarded by unknown people.
His hands trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were already blurred by the tears that had surged up at some point.
The right hand holding the earthen wall was unconsciously embedded in the loess, and Qin Erzhu heard his hoarse voice calling frantically, "Xiangyu! Xiangyu! you...... Where's Xiangyu!"
In fact, he had already guessed that the blood-stained firewood house ...... The crunch was followed by a feeble and distracted thud. Qin Erzhu suddenly knelt down weakly, and his previously healthy and powerful limbs seemed to be broken and numb.
He dragged his stump over in a trance, crawling to his wife, who rolled his eyes and looked in pain, and even bit off his tongue: "Xiangyu...... Ahhh
Accompanied by the beast's mournful roar and crying, there was also Qin Ersuke's self-harming action of grabbing the ground with his head.
The last thing that saved him was the faint cry of a baby that could not be ignored.
"Child, child......" The god muttered, and Qin Erzhu found the little one covered in blood that was hidden in the skirt of his wife, who was covered in blood and had long since lost her breath, and carefully carried it with a tablecloth.
There was also a sharp pair of scissors, a broken umbilical cord, and an alcohol lamp still burning silently. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of pain and suffering her wife endured, and what kind of determination she made for the sake of her children.
Every time Mr. Qin was drunk and talked about this paragraph, he would definitely cry silently, and then he would babble and mutter:
"No, it was so painful that I wanted to forget everything, but in the middle of the night I went back and saw it over and over again. It must not have been an accidental premature birth...... Sticks, sticks on the grass dam head outside......"
From this day on, Qin Erzhu never experienced the feeling of sleeping peacefully. Every night, he would be whipped by repressed dreams, filled with remorse and frantic to find the culprit.
Until, thirteen years later, it was replaced by an even more crumbling dream.
Li Xiangyu left him with his life a boy, Qin Erzhu named him Qin Xi, he was the hope of the two of them, and it was also the reason and courage for him to continue to live now.
Unfortunately, the more remote the area, the lower the level of knowledge, the more ignorant the people.
Because of the slightest grievance, the old Wang family, who destroyed a happy family by mistake, was trembling at first for fear of being discovered, so they were arrested and sent to practice the clan law, and the clan meeting was not as domineering and scoundrel as before.
But for a long time, when there was no movement on the patriarch's side, the Wang family, who understood that the patriarch had not noticed the problem and that he had not been caught, began to sprout again.
Qin Erzhu is now focused on raising children, and he is not as rigid and serious as before in dealing with clan affairs. Whatever he does, if anyone in the village elders' council is willing to do it, just go.
But this kind of concession and endurance is also the reason why the Zhang and Wang families kept kicking their noses and faces in the face, and even forced Qin Erzhu to death again.
Really, there is a kind of person who can't bear it.
There are many ways to describe this kind of person in the countryside, such as "Shengmien, Doumi ugly." ", "Bullying the soft and fearing the hard", "Kicking the nose in the face." ”
Although they are timid and fearful, weak and powerless, they have always been a group activity. Once you find out that you are a good person, kind and easy to bully, you will swarm like blood-sucking bugs.
They are all doing the work of villains behind their backs, but what they say is all the words of big heroes.
What they are best at is to use the pen and knife to discredit the righteous people who are not good at words, and kick them to the side of the villain to show their justice.
It's obviously asking you for help, but when you say it, it's like "Because you helped me once, you must help me this time!" Otherwise, you're a white-eyed wolf, a black-hearted official, and a thief with no conscience!".
It's obviously a favor owed to you, but it is hyped up with the surrounding fox friends and dog friends, pointing to your head, and the words are clear mockery, contempt and contempt:
"This guy is a fool, if he says it's a friend, he can do anything. ”
And once they encounter a violent and fierce enemy on the side of the storm, and a vicious and dangerous enemy on the side of the jackal, tiger and leopard, they will "worship" and make a servile appearance, which makes people disgusting and disgusting.
For this disgusting existence, he should be slapped in the face when he was first tentatively bullied. It is necessary for him to remember this pain, so that he does not dare to provoke it again.
Otherwise, if you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it.
It's a pity that by the time Qin Erzhu understands these truths, it will be too late.
After being entangled by the Wang family again, and the old woman Wang, who was about to turn 110 and refused to abdicate, led a group of people, and hurriedly rushed to Qin's house to find Qin Xi's little kid while Qin Erzhu was holding a meeting in the clan.
I thought it was just a small thing, and I was willing to do anything for them if I scared a few people a little. As a result, Qin Xi was as tough as his mother, and without saying a word, he used a hoe to scare people and prepare to drive people out.
Li Xi just came back from the field, and the hoe that had just been hoeed was covered with mud, not to mention, there was even an earthworm writhing on it.
As soon as he shook his hoe and stretched out his hand, the stains seemed to run to him, and several women who had always loved cleanliness couldn't help but scream.
The old patriarch stood at the front, and the hoe seemed to be dangling in front of her eyes. It's unpleasant and at the same time, I think about it, "Oops, oops, I'm an old bone~"
Mrs. Wang exaggeratedly held her chest and shouted, and she collapsed directly to the ground, and several daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of the Wang family were frightened. They only cared about avoiding themselves just now, but they didn't pay attention to this old ancestor, if it ...... A few people panicked.
also noticed that Qin Xi's hoe was the same as the woman who had not touched the old woman Wang, but she was paralyzed on the ground with her eyes and her hands and feet twitching, and she didn't know if it was the real or fake old woman Wang, so she decided not to see it.
If anything, someone will pay for the medical bills.
Therefore, when everyone was unanimous, or indignant and scolded, or boasted of elder-style education, Qin Xila, who was frightened, went to the senator's meeting, and everyone just went out to watch this farce.
As soon as the two sons of the Wang family went out, they saw their mother lying on the ground like a stroke, and they were almost stupid. What are you kidding, their own son is almost unable to support him, so he still has spare money to support his mother!
Fortunately, as soon as they got closer, they saw their old urchin's mother naughtily squeezing their eyebrows at them, and Boss Wang understood a little, "Mom, what are you ......?"
The old woman screamed a few times and whimpered in pain:
"It's unreasonable! The young man bullied the old woman, I just want to go over and apologize to the Qin patriarch, and I'm ready to resign from this idle position in the clan! After all, I'm also old at this age, and if I don't leave this treasure land, maybe people will scold me!"
"Yes, even if I occupy the pit and don't people, I can't use such a sharp hoe to threaten it......!
Ahh
That posture, frightened the two granddaughters-in-law who had never seen this old ancestor commit a crime, followed and cursed:
"Yes, you are still the patriarch elected by the clan, and that's how you came to teach your son! If it weren't for a few of us to stop you, this old ancestor would have folded here!"
Without saying a word, he picked up a hoe covered in mud and beat people. And there is no heavenly reason!"
The daughters-in-law of the Wang family skillfully helped the old woman Wang to get up from the ground one by one, and in the early years, they would also be strange, they would feel that their mother-in-law was so weird, and it can be seen that after seeing the harvest after each mother-in-law so sprinkling Laipi, they were smart and silent.
It's easy to get money, and it's not their face to lose, so why not?
Qin Erzhu was completely angry when he was so troubled by the Wang family. He pinched Qin Xi's wrist and forcefully dragged the person over and questioned his son, who seemed to have learned badly, "What they said is true?
Qin Xi looked at his father in disbelief:
"That's what you think of me? I took the hoe, but I just came back from hoeing and didn't have time to put it down! It's this ghost old woman who is doing the trick! I didn't hit her!"
"How uncomfortable would it be if I didn't hit our ancestor? At that time, she couldn't stand up and slid straight to the ground! I said what kind of mud you scare people toss, your feelings just want to deceive people's eyes, and you can't find evidence!"
"You still shook them in the mud?"
"......" Qin Xi stopped talking, after all, the mud himself was really shaken off. Qin Erzhu thought that this kid had admitted it, so he immediately blew his beard angrily and glared at him, and turned his head to appease the Wang family.
It's just that the thinking of the father and son is not on the same line, Qin Xi saw his father bending down to apologize to the old witch, and he was about to explode, so he picked up the bamboo flagpole next to him and rushed over to think about the old witch.
Anyway, if he didn't beat him, he slandered him for beating people, so it was better to beat her neatly, in the end, he was happy!
Qin Erzhu thought crookedly, thinking that his son was impulsive after beating someone indiscriminately, and hurriedly ran over to stop someone, "What the fuck are you doing? That's how Lao Tzu usually taught you?!"
"But it's not my fault, it's obviously this old witch......"
"Smack!" could only be heard with a crisp slap. Qin Xi covered his right cheek, which was slapped, and looked at his father incredulously, "You beat me, are you mistaken! Obviously they are ......."
"That's enough! Don't make excuses for your own mistakes!Apologize to me!" Qin Erzhu squeezed Qin Xi's head strongly, "Don't escape!"
"Why! I don't, it's their fault! It's this old witch who is doing it!" Qin Xi writhed, his eyes flushed. Yingying's tears blurred his vision, and he gritted his teeth and repeated, "It's not me!
"How can I believe you? Will so many people be wrong when they see it? Is it because I am too neglectful of you on a daily basis?"
Qin Erzhu was completely unmoved, in his heart, a child of this size was just the time when he was honest, he liked to lie and act rashly. It's good to take a beating, but the habit of honesty and the courage to admit mistakes must be cultivated.
But I have to say that he was subconsciously put on the wrong side by the child who needed to be educated and reformed. He unconsciously fell into a strange circle that because the Wang family is full of old people and elders, he will never lie.
And because he ignored this, he lost. Not only did he lose to someone with ulterior motives and lose his son's trust, but more importantly, he took his child as an imaginary figure as a matter of course.
Of course, this is also a common problem for most people named parents, namely:
It is both ridiculous and pathetic to keep the child in the framework that he set for him at the beginning, and he cannot see the child's change and growth, nor their own patriarchalism.
Qin Xi buried his head deeply, and his miserable white lips were bitten out of blood by himself, and his soul sent out a final question, "You...... Believe me or not?"
Qin Erzhu shook his head helplessly, "Tsk, don't give me these things, and apologize to Uncle Wang and them!" Qin Xi slapped Qin Erzhu's hand away and ran away the moment he heard this.
Qin Erzhu was defenseless, and even felt a little helpless, he sighed and said, "Why are you so stubborn?"
He didn't understand exactly what he was missing.
The Wang family grew up as a-stirring stick, and what they are best at is messing around. In this farce, Qin Erzhu was humiliated just by apologizing and compensating, not to mention the anger in his stomach, and the only bit of assets on his body was also squeezed clean.
The old woman Wang's idle position, who only ate money and did not work, was also retained. In addition, the old woman Wang happened to be "hit a little wrong" by his son, so it is logical that the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of the Wang family were lucky enough to get a seat in the clan senate in order to facilitate the "care" of the old woman.
The most devastating thing was when I went home, as if a nightmare had materialized, and the blood gushed out of the living room. Qin Xi sat on the bench in the hall as before, lying on the table with his back to him.
Qin Erzhu staggered into the house, and before his trembling hands could touch his son's body, Qin Xi fell to the ground so lightly and fell in the pool of blood all over the ground.
Under the blood-stained shards of glass on the table was a scribbled letter, which clearly explained what the boy had said he had encountered this morning. He said, "Death is proof!"
After Qin Erzhu lost all the treasures he could lose, he went completely crazy. He believed, and he finally believed......
Or what if you don't believe?
The next thing, Uncle Qin will choose to mention it every time he tells it. He said that he went crazy and generally ran to Wang's house, questioned the end of the eye, and then killed someone's family.
After this terrible incident, the local county commander who was alarmed quickly sent someone to arrest him, and then he was rescued by the demon cult forces who came to flee alone when he fled.
After that, he simply lived this kind of knife-licking blood and crazy business.
His home is gone anyway.
All buried in this filthy world.
Luo Chuan just listened quietly every time and didn't say a word. But those eyes that looked carefully and listened patiently always brought Qin Erzhu a little comfort.
It's the same as the Demon Sect Elder who saved him in the first place.
Yes, that's all he needs.
I once tried to talk to people other than Luo Chuan and the elders through alcohol, but then, the other party's fearless comfort and crazy behavior of pouring "chicken soup" was really irritable.
It even gives birth to "Oh, you say it lightly." If it were you, maybe you wouldn't be able to survive or not!".
Well, he wants to live, and use every day he has to remember and atone for his sins. Even if it is on the basis of destroying the happiness of others.
