Ji Dong didn't dare to look back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even though it had been three months since he had left the island, he was still terrified, and he had not lived for a moment in his heart, for fear that he would be captured by the natives in the next second.

The hundreds of days and nights of being a slave were the most miserable and humiliating days Ji Dong had ever lived in his life, every day like an animal, without enough food and clothing, and being whipped to do a lot of dangerous work.

There is no dignity, no freedom, there is only one word left in Ji Dong's heart: escape.

He knew that if he didn't escape, he would be like those slaves, either exhausted or beaten to death.

Either way, it was unacceptable to him.

So he changed his depression and cowardice in the past, worked hard to learn the local language, made good relations with the slaves around him, and remained well-behaved in front of the "whip" by the way.

"Whip" was his nickname for the overseer, because the man's name sounded like the word "whip" in Da Shun, and he often held the whip in his hand and scolded the slaves.

In the process of getting acquainted with the slaves, Ji Dong learned that their location was near the country of Java.

The name Java, in Ji Dong's impression, has always appeared in the colloquial language of adults to scare children, and he never thought that one day he would come here.

I heard that there is a large island not far to the east of this island, which is still a tribe and maintains the custom of cannibalism.

Ji Dong shuddered every time he thought of this, cannibalism, in case one day those cannibals had convulsions and accidentally ran to this island...

No, he can't wait any longer, he has to get out of here quickly!

Ji Dong slipped out in the middle of the night to discuss with Wang Xiu, Wang Xiu was also panicked when he heard about the cannibals, and the two quietly decided to act on the day of the bathing festival.

The bathing festival was a big local festival for which the slaves had been preparing for a long time.

Wang Xiu was like a mouse, stealing a little wine from the cellar every day, and they could not get the medicinal materials, so they could only rely on the power of wine to intoxicate the captain and steal the ship away.

In addition to wine, Ji Dong also touched a kind of grass leaves that people would be confused when they ate it, he searched for a little bit every day, and handed it to Wang Xiu when he had the opportunity, so that she could squeeze out the juice and drip it into the wine.

One night, more than two months later, the grand bathing festival kicked off.

The festival lasts for three days, with the third day being the main event.

Time, luck! It happened that it rained heavily that night, extinguishing all the bonfires on the island, and the whole island was pitch black.

Ji Dong was excited, he no longer hesitated, and hurriedly ran out to find Wang Xiu, knowing that the rain might stop at any time.

He followed Wang Xiu, holding the wine jar with barbecue and fruits, and walked towards a simple dock on the shore.

......

"Big brother! Let's dock! The newly acquired younger brother Luo Yi looked at the land beach in the distance and asked Ji Dong greedily.

Luo Yi and Wang Liu were among the sailors on that ship, and that night, Ji Dong pretended to be a servant and followed Wang Xiu to deliver wine to the ship, and after the small leader and first mate on the ship were drunk, they were thrown into the sea.

But neither of them could sail the boat, and there were two sailors on this boat, who said that they were also from Dashun, and they were homeless by the Japanese robbers, so they ran to the sea to make a living.

Ji Dong saw that the two of them were pitiful, and thought that they were both compatriots, so he worshiped brothers with the two, and lived and died together from then on.

"Dock!"

Ji Dong was afraid of walking on the sea, and there was water as far as the eye could see, and he panicked when he saw it.

Abandoning the ship and going ashore, they went all the way north along the coastline, just wanting to reach Dashun as soon as possible.

Now, they have reached the foot of the mountain, as long as they climb over this mountain, it will be the land of Dashun!

******

Shu's second aunt received a total of two letters "sent" from her son.

The first letter was really written by Ji Dong, and it was stored at a friend's place before he left, and he told him that the person would hand it to his mother a month after he left.

As soon as Ji Dong's matter came out, the man immediately wanted to burn the letter, but it didn't take long for the matter to subside, so he counted the days and stuffed the letter into the crack of Ji's door.

A large amount of space in the letter is Ji Dong's words of apology to Shu Ergu, and promised to live a good life in the future, take his mother out to raise him, and so on.

The second letter was written by Zhao Chengzhi imitating Ji Dong's handwriting, and was brought back by his younger brother Zhao Chengen, who studied in the south of the Yangtze River.

Shu Ergu couldn't hear from her son for a long time, and she was anxious, and she gradually lost her life. Aunt Shu couldn't see it, so she asked her eldest son to imitate one.

To the effect that he is living well in Jiangnan now, and when he saves money to buy his own house, he will come back to pick up Aunt Shu and enjoy the blessings.

Second Aunt Shu is very happy, and she has hope for the future, so she wants her to come back to pick her up soon, and she doesn't want to stay in the Ji family for a minute.

It was okay when I had some feelings with Ji Er before, but now it has slowly worn away with time and Roche's mixing, and only the two are left with each other.

Although now they all rely on her snort to live, but their children are not around, Shu Ergu feels that she is bored to do anything.

Ji Er doesn't make any money, and his brother will give his younger brother some pocket money every month, but this money is not enough to buy wine on weekdays, let alone support his family.

Roche doesn't have any skills, except for licking Ji Er's belly, he really can't get any skills, so he can only stay at home and do housework.

Fortunately, she still has two sons, and Ji Wei can already help his uncle work.

Shu Ergu is literate and calculates her accounts quickly, she is out of the field to catch up with three jobs, all of which are helping other people's shops settle accounts, and she earns a lot of money every month.

Aunt Shu persuaded her not to work so hard, what is the use of earning so much money, and it is also to help others raise their sons.

Shu Ergu has her own plans, first, she will go to Jiangnan to find her son in the future, I heard that everything in Jiangnan is expensive, and she has to save some money to keep for her grandson to study; Second, Ji Er and Luo have to rely on her to feed, so naturally they can't straighten their waists in front of her, and they have a low smile every day, and she is very useful in her heart.

But Ji Er is getting more and more disagreeable, he used to run to the Northeast and sell some goods to sell, but now he doesn't go out at all, and he messes with those fox friends and dog friends all day long.

Ji Er is a good gambler, but he doesn't go to the gambling game, but likes a group of people to get together to play cards and play money.

When the Shu family celebrates the New Year's holidays, the men will also set up two tables and play with small money, and the one who loses the most each time is Shu Laoer. In fact, Qinglan could see that his father deliberately lost most of the time, and he was unwilling to take advantage of his brother and brother-in-law.

Ji Er felt that he was very good at playing cards, and he also won and lost on weekdays, almost equal, not like now, losing more than 500 taels in one night.

Ji Er blamed the reason for losing money this time on Shu Ergu, who told her that her father had just died, and bad luck was brought to Ji's family.

Shu Ergu listened to how to give up, scolded Ji Er, and threatened to refuse to give him money again, and the gambling debts owed would not help him pay back.

Ji Er was already in a bad mood because of losing money, and after drinking a little wine, he was even more grumpy.

Hearing his wife scold himself like this, the green tendons on Ji Er's head jumped, and he didn't even think about it, "Pia!" He stretched out his hand and gave Shu Ergu a firm slap.

This slap made Shu Ergu angry, and the new hatred and old grudges overwhelmed her reason, she pounced on Ji Er like a madman, tearing and scratching, and instantly scratched Ji Er's face with blood!

Roche had been standing outside the door for a while, and when he heard the two of them scolding, he lifted the curtain and entered the main room.

In other words, she never refused to leave behind anything that made Aunt Shu deflated.

Luo Yuniang helped Ji Er avoid Shu Ergu's "claws", and at the same time, she fanned the fire there without saying anything, which made the couple even more angry!

I don't know if Ji Er's strength is too great, or if Luo Yuniang's help doubles the strength, the two happened to push Shu Ergu at the same time, and the latter was vigorously knocked into the corner of the kang, "Bang dong!" "It hit the back of Shu Ergu's head!

Shu Ergu only felt a splitting headache, and before she could cry out in pain, she lost consciousness in the next second.

This frightened Ji Er and Luo Yuniang!

Ji Er hurriedly stepped forward and touched Shu Ergu's snort, oh my God! It's out of gas!

Luo Yuniang also squeezed up and touched left and right, but she wasn't sure if the other party was angry, because she was afraid, her hands trembled badly, as if she didn't obey the call.

What's going on now!?

Without further ado, Ji Er's wine was half sober, and he instructed Luo Yuniang to pack her luggage quickly, and they went out to avoid the limelight first.

"That kid..."Luo Yuniang couldn't make up her mind.

"Bring them all!" Ji Er said and rolled up Shu Ergu's sleeves, and she wore the keys to the money box closely.

When Old Man Shu died, Second Aunt Shu searched five or six hundred taels from the front and back of the Shu family, and with the private house she saved, Ji Er turned out as many as two thousand taels!

"Stinky bitch!" Ji Er got the money and kicked Shu Ergu angrily, but she hid so much money and didn't spend it for herself, what did she Shu Zifang want to do!

Thinking so, Ji Er's guilt towards Aunt Shu also faded, and he hurriedly went out to find his youngest son.

Ji Chun'er was having fun with his friends, his father wanted to take him away, but he didn't want to, so he started crying.

"Shut up!" Ji Er roared viciously, Ji Chun didn't dare to howl anymore, and was honestly led out by his father.

Seeing this, Ji Wei didn't dare to ask again, Ji Dong and Luo Yuniang led their two sons, rented a mule cart, and ran all the way to the west.

******

"Brute!" Ji was speechless, and it took him half a day to pound the table and squeeze out these two words.

Last morning, Ji Er came home and had another quarrel, Ji Da and his mother-in-law didn't care, the second family had a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days, they were all used to it.

After Ji Dong's incident, Ji Da no longer cares about his younger brother's family affairs, as long as Ji Er does not die of hunger, he feels that he has an explanation for his parents who died early.

At night, Ji Er's room was dark, and Ji Er didn't care, who knew where Ji Er went to fool around.

But when I came back tonight, Ji Er's room was still dark and there was no movement, as if they hadn't come back.

Ji Da's mother-in-law couldn't sit still, and even Guo and Ji Chun didn't show up, don't something happen!

When the husband and wife entered the house and lit the cigarette lamp, they found that Shu Ergu was twisted and collapsed in a pool of dried blood, and her body was already hard!

The lamp in Ji Da's hand almost smashed on the surface of his feet, and his mother-in-law saw the flies "flowing out" from the corners of Shu Ergu's eyes and urinated on the spot!

What to do? Ji Da's hands trembled so much that he couldn't hold the lampholder, report to the official?

No, the Shu family has a county lord in charge, and the younger brother and daughter-in-law are still the sister of the county lady's sister-in-law, so it will not be allowed at that time... Don't be angry with your own family!

Only then did Ji Da remember, where did his younger brother go?!

Don't... Ji Da looked around and found that there were obvious traces of churning in Luo's house, and he had to admit that his younger brother really ran away, leading Luo and his son to run, and his eldest brother was still here to fight the thunder.

"The master..." Ji Da's mother-in-law was shocked and scared, crying and looking for Ji Da to come up with an idea, what can I do, what kind of sin has their Ji family created!

If you don't report to the official, how can you explain to the Shu family? A big living person, why is it gone?

Ji Da stood in the yard struggling, if he reported to the official, his brother's family... became fugitives, and in the future, the nephews will have to carry a bad reputation, they are still young...

"Dad, mother, what are you doing?" Just thinking about countermeasures, Ji Da's son came back from work, "What are you going to eat tonight?" ”

The young men in their twenties have not yet married their daughters-in-law, all of which are due to Ji Dong.

Thinking of this, Ji Da's mother-in-law squatted in the yard and cried bitterly, this Ji Er, who had suffered a thousand cuts, could make their family miserable!

"What's wrong?" Ji Da's son looked at his mother in a daze.

"Alas!" Ji Da also sat on the steps, what did the second family do!

......

Late at night, father and son were still competing.

"Report to the officer! Must report to the police! "Ji Da's son is very persistent, just kidding, this is human life!

"Then your uncle...", Ji Da still didn't want his younger brother to be accused of being a murderer.

"That's it, let's just say that my uncle went to the Northeast to sell goods, and the little sister-in-law is here... We don't know anything. The meaning is obvious, this pot let Roche carry it.

"That's a good idea!" Ji Da's mother-in-law agrees with her son's statement, in short, she has to take her own house out.

In other words, it's all up to Roche?

Ji Da thought about it, as long as he didn't confess his younger brother, so he nodded and agreed.

Early the next morning, Zhao Bingsheng, who was still having breakfast, heard the report that there had been a murder in the county, and the deceased was still his sister-in-law!

******

"Dog offal!" After listening to the autopsy report, Boss Shu couldn't help but scold.

Shu Ergu died of excessive blood loss, that is to say, if Ji Dong had dealt with it in time at that time and found a doctor to bandage and treat, Shu Ergu might not have died.

But instead of doing that, he ran away with the money.

There are many witnesses, all of whom said that Ji Er led his mother-in-law and children to run away, and later, the owner of the mule cart rented by Ji Er also came to testify that Ji Er did abscond in fear of crime.

The development of the matter was completely beyond Ji Da's expectations, he thought that the matter could be relied on by Luo, but the evidence pointed to Ji Er, and even why Ji Er quarreled with Shu Ergu that morning was investigated clearly.

Ji Er owed more than 500 taels of gambling debts, and asked Shu Ergu for silver but was refused, and he was embarrassed and angry and pushed Shu Ergu down. Seeing that Shu Ergu was injured, she did not rescue her on the spot, but fled with money.

Zhao Bingsheng is really interested in this case, he doesn't dare not care, Aunt Shu cries every day and night, making the family have no peace.
