This is where it all should be. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the currently known clues, let's start with Changjing, the child.
Chang Jing is a disabled child, he was born with a crippled leg, his mother died of illness not long after he was born, he lived with his father who worked as a groom in the Song State Doctor Luan Xun's mansion, so he met Luan Xun's youngest son Luan Mang, and he and Luan Mang became good friends. Until Changjing's father died in a horse taming accident, Changjing could no longer stay in Lord Luan Xun's mansion, so he was taken back by his elderly grandmother.
In addition to her grandmother, Chang Jing also has a relative, who is her mother's sister, his aunt. However, this aunt is a widow with two children alone, so her temperament will inevitably be stingy, Changjing's grandmother thinks that she is old and may die soon, and she is worried that Changjing will really be alone at that time, so she specially took Changjing to his aunt and wanted to walk around. Changjing's aunt kicked Changjing and his grandmother out because she was worried that Changjing would come to her to claim a part of her property.
It was probably at this same time that in the east of the city, at Hanyu's house, in order to save the children trapped in the tree, Hanyu fell from the tree himself, broke his leg, and refused the help of the villagers, which led to the deterioration of the broken place and the appearance of disability. After his father's death, Hanyu's mother repeatedly made things difficult for Hanyu's wife because of the great psychological gap, which led to the tragic death of Hanyu's wife and the child in his womb. Although Han Yu resented his mother, he did not violate filial piety, blamed himself for the death of his wife and children, and still took care of his mother with all his heart.
After that, the Chen State invaded, and the city was in danger, and the people in the city fled one after another. Lord Luan Xun fled to his wife's maiden house with his wife and young son Luan Mang, Changjing's aunt fled with her children, Hanyu fled with her mother, Changjing fled with her grandmother, and the elderly grandmother on the road ...... After the war subsided, the people who originally lived in the city returned to their original residences, and after Luan Xun's family returned to the city, Luan Mang was worried about the safety of his childhood playmate, so he sent his family to look around and inquire about Changjing's news. Changjing's aunt also came back with the children at this time. Han Yu returned home with his seriously ill mother.
Changjing, who lost his grandmother while fleeing, also returned here after a long wandering. He had nowhere to go, and he could only think of going to Luan Mang at that time, but there were too many orphans displaced by the war in the city at this time, and the government began to take in all the able-bodied orphans in case of a shortage of troops due to war deaths. Chang Jing went to find Luan Mang, but was kicked out by the subordinates of the government as a child who wanted to mix in a group of able-bodied orphans and eat together. With no way out, Changjing can only go to his aunt, who is also in the city, to save his life. But Changjing's aunt, because she learned that the grandmother who raised him was dead, was even more worried that Changjing would come back and wanted to snatch her share of Changjing's mother's property, so she racked her brains to think of a way, she heard that Han Yu, a butcher in the east of the city, wanted to find an apprentice, so she asked someone to intercede and let Han Yu accept Chang Jing. Since Han Yu is a very caring person, he himself became disabled because of saving the child, and he can better understand the pain in the heart of Changjing, who was born disabled, so he left Changjing, and Changjing's aunt was temporarily relieved.
According to Uncle Tiao, Han Yu's mother was ill for more than a year before she died. So when Han Yu accepted Chang Jing as an apprentice, Han Yu's seriously ill mother was still alive, and Chang Jing, as an apprentice, not only had to follow Han Yu in everything, learn Han Yu's methods of slaughtering livestock, learn how to deal with Han Yu, but also give Han Yu a hand everywhere, and help him take care of the family's affairs together. Han Yu's mother is a ruthless character who can force her daughter-in-law to die, and she is seriously ill at this time, so she naturally makes it difficult for Changjing, who suddenly appears at home. This was the most difficult thing for Chang Jing at that time, but in the face of his mother's difficulties for Chang Jing, Han Yu could only try to help Chang Jing so as not to make his life too sad......
"What's wrong?" Seeing that I stopped suddenly, his expression was solemn, so he asked carefully.
"Poor...... Almost. I thought about every detail, like, "If it is Hanyu's seriously ill mother who tortures Changjing, causing Changjing to starve to death, it doesn't seem to make sense." Why did Changjing starve to death, I think there are other things going on at this point. ”
"Something else?" Sai Yu thought for a moment, "Do you think that the person who forced Changjing to death, or forced Changjing to starve to death, was not Hanyu's mother?" ”
"Yes," I said, "Han Yu's mother was seriously ill at the time, and Uncle Yuan also said that Han Yu's mother died of illness more than a year after they returned here after the end of the war, and after all, Chang Jing disappeared two years ago, at that time, Han Yu's mother was also sick for at least almost a year, an old woman who was about to die, no matter how bad her temperament was, she was more critical and harsher about Chang Jing's behavior...... But her situation at that time was not objective, we can think that Han Yu's mother was sick in bed at the time, and she couldn't get out of bed at all. ”
Sai Yu nodded, "I'm not sure what the illness is, but judging from Uncle Na's words, Han Yu's mother was already seriously ill when she came back from fleeing, so there is a high probability that she fell ill when she fled." At that time, the refugees in the city fled and were most likely to contract tuberculosis, and Changjing's grandmother, who also escaped from the city at that time, also passed away while fleeing. They were all people who had fled from the city, so there was reason to believe that the conditions in which they fled were harsh, and tuberculosis spread among the refugees, and some of the infirm people contracted it. Changjing's grandmother and the old and weak, so she died of serious illness on the way to escape, and Han Yu's mother was in better health, and she survived until Han Yu brought her back, and then Han Yu borrowed money from the neighbors and had been taking medicine for his mother, so Han Yu's mother delayed for more than a year, but finally died because of the incurable disease. Therefore, your guess is completely reasonable, Han Yu's mother was seriously ill at the time and had difficulty getting out of bed. ”
"Yes, since Han Yu's mother is no longer able to move freely, how can she force Changjing to starve to death?" If Changjing's source of pressure was Hanyu's mother, he could have hid in a place where Hanyu's mother couldn't see and eat something, so as not to starve to death. "Although Han Yu's family is not wealthy, and because of his mother's illness, he borrowed a lot of money for treatment, but Han Yu himself lives by being a butcher, and he will not starve to death."
Sai Yu was silent, also thinking about this question.
"East of the city, west of the city...... West?! I suddenly remembered a place, "Come with me." ”
