Chapter 18: Father Qian is killed

The Qian family watched as Yu Tianfeng and Wei Zhang's took Niuniu away, but they couldn't stop it and didn't dare. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Qian Yuning blamed herself even more in her heart, it was because of herself and Xiao Niuniu that the eldest brother was so seriously injured, and now, Xiao Niuniu was also forcibly taken away by them, but she couldn't do anything, thinking of these, how could she not hate in her heart? For a moment, she was so sad and indignant in her heart that she cried bitterly.

Tonight, the Qian family fell into a gloomy fog, Qian Xingwen was injured on his head and hands, because of excessive blood loss, although he invited a doctor to bandage it, and also boiled medicine to pour it down, but two hours passed, and he still didn't wake up. The little girl was taken away by others, and everyone was powerless to fight. Now the situation is stronger than people, people are powerful, their own families are just ordinary people, everyone is sitting around the house, dejected, and no one is in the mood to speak for a while. Qian Laigui thought about it again and again, and said to Qian Zhou's family: "Old woman, you go, bring the wooden box that the person gave today, we will take this wooden box and these ten ingots of silver to the Wei family tomorrow and return it to them, we can't let them take Niuniu away, we have to exchange Niuniu back." "The naïve father thought that the other party took these things in exchange for his granddaughter, and he didn't want these finances and returned them to the other party, and they could return their granddaughter to themselves.

Qian Zhou's words were obedient to her husband's words, and as soon as she heard his instructions, she immediately went to the living room to carry the box to the house, but when they opened the box, they were stunned, there was nothing in the box, only a big red brocade inside, and there were obvious traces of letting go of things on the brocade, but this thing was gone. Now that things are gone, how can I get my granddaughter back? Qian Laigui suddenly ran out of ideas, and when Qian Zhou and Qian Yuning saw this scene, they couldn't help crying more and more sadly.

In the end, the Qian family never saw Niuniu again, and Niuniu let Wei Zhang's family follow Yu Tianfeng into Beijing the next day, and since then, there has been no news. I don't know if the box obtained by the Qian family was empty, or if there was something in the box, but later Qian Xingwen was injured and when everyone was busy, it was taken by others. In short, it is unknown now, this has become a headless case, which has been bothering the Qian family, especially Qian Laigui and Qian Yuning.

Since he was injured, because of excessive blood loss, Qian Xingwen's body is not as good as before, and his hand is fractured, the doctor has already instructed that from then on, Qian Xingwen can't use his hands and can't lift heavy things, so he can no longer pick tofu to sell, so he has to do some chores at home. Originally, Daddy Qian planned to retire this year after finishing his work, and let his two sons carry the burden, but seeing that the eldest son's body was not good, he had to drag his old body and insist on getting up early every day with his second son to pick up tofu and sell it in the streets and alleys. However, when people are old, they are not as good as before, especially their eyes are getting worse and worse, sometimes the sky is hazy in the morning, and it is even more difficult to carry a load of tofu to sell in foggy weather.

On a winter morning, the fog was particularly heavy, Qian Laigui and his second son Qian Xingwu were ready to go, at this time, Qian Zhoushi suddenly said worriedly: "His father, otherwise, I won't go out today, wait a minute, sell at the door, the fog is too big today, I can't see the road clearly, it snowed again last night, the road is too slippery, and it is not easy to walk." However, Daddy Qian insisted on going out, but as a result, something happened on the road, and I heard that he hit the sedan chair of the county lord Cui Qing, and he actually killed himself.

When the Qian family heard the news and rushed to the yamen, Qian Laigui's body was stiff, in a piece of ice and snow, he was lying alone in the snow, the cotton jacket on his body was torn, the cotton wool flew everywhere, Qian Laigui lay on the ground on his side, forming a bow, a pair of eyes were wide open, a big hole was broken on the brain, a pool of blood on the ground, had been covered with snow, and now it condensed into ice, the red blood was frozen in the white transparent ice, scattered around the body of the old man who had frozen, It was shocking to see.

Outside the yamen, there was not a single official today, only the people who came to watch the excitement gathered around the corpses outside the yamen, pointing and pointing, commenting, talking and whispering. Until the Qian family came, everyone was silent, looking at the grief-stricken family in front of them, crying and grabbing the ground, sad and sad, there were well-wishers who knew acquaintances on weekdays, and the people who had bought Qian's tofu stepped forward to comfort a few words, and then everyone worked together to help find a quilt, and carried Qian Laigui's body on the quilt, and then helped carry it to Qian's house, arranged the mourning hall, and started the funeral.

Because they didn't have much money and couldn't afford a good coffin, the Qian family had to hurriedly buy a thin coffin and park Daddy Qian's body in the mourning hall set up in the living room. The funeral was also extremely simple because of no money, and only a Taoist priest was invited to overtake the soul, and the monks who recited the scriptures could not afford to invite them, so they had to spend an extra ten yuan to ask the Taoist priest to do the work for them and read the scriptures together. Only two people were invited to the funeral, and they really couldn't afford to invite a whole funeral team. In this way, after the Qian family stopped for seven days, they invited four young men from acquaintances to carry the coffin, and the Taoist priest led the way by scattering paper money while reciting the scriptures, and the two musicians who played the trumpet and suona followed behind the Taoist priest, and the four young men who carried the coffin followed them, and behind the coffin, the Qian family walked while crying, and for a while, it was extremely miserable.

In fact, during the period of the suspension of the spirit, the Qian family also asked Qian Xingwu to go to the yamen to find it. A big living person, who was fine before going out, alive and kicking, now says that he will die, there is no warning at all, there is no disease, and there is no enemy, such a big case of dying for no reason should naturally go to the government, and the Qian family also thinks so, so Qian Xingwu went to the yamen to ask things clearly.

But when Qian Xingwu went, not only did he not ask things clearly, but he was beaten up. The people in the yamen said that the old man who sold tofu was impatient, and he stood at the gate of the yamen early in the morning, and when he saw the sedan chair of the county magistrate coming, he rushed over and hit the handle of the sedan chair head, causing the county commander Cui to fall in the sedan chair and hit his nose blue. On the official sedan chair of the county official, there is still the blood of the old man Qian, which can't be washed off, Cui County Ling is benevolent, and now he has not asked the Qian family to lose money, it is good to be held accountable, and your Qian family still dares to be held accountable?

Qian Xingwu returned home in despair, wiped his tears, and said this with a mouth that was still bleeding. The family gathered around Daddy Qian's body, looking at the wounds and lumps on Qian Laigui's body and face that were obviously bruised, Qian Zhou's and Qian Xingwen stepped forward to take off the clothes on Daddy Qian's body, looking at the bruises and purple pieces on his body, especially on his chest There was a long knife wound from the left chest to the waist, now that the person is dead, no matter how bad the knife wound is, it doesn't matter, it's just that this knife wound is so long, so deep and so hideous, I don't know how Daddy Qian, who was stabbed at that time, died in pain? But it turned out that Daddy Qian's cotton clothes were so torn because he was stabbed with a knife, no wonder the cotton wool floated everywhere.

Qian Zhou's tears flowed, the whole person was numb, this successive blows, a son was abolished, and her husband died suddenly and inexplicably, she didn't know at all, what terrible things would happen in the next moment, and the whole person fell into fear.

Seeing that the old lady stared at his father's body motionlessly and did not speak, but shed tears, the two brothers Qian Xingwen and Qian Xingwu silently brought hot water to wipe their father's body, and worked together to change the father's body into the longevity clothes he had just bought, put it on, and arranged his father's hair bun and appearance, and then respectfully let his old man lie flat in the coffin. This approach also allows his father to sleep more comfortably.
