They were a step too late, and the shopkeeper had already run away.

The shopkeeper of Natian and his family walked in a panic, and they didn't even take away the big items at home, they only collected the fine soft, and handed over the consignment to the tooth shop, and their family ran away, maybe they were hiding.

committed a life lawsuit, and the shopkeeper Tian is not stupid, how can he wait for someone to arrest him?

Zhang Qing didn't believe that the shopkeeper of Natian was walking so fast, he also went in the wall to take a look, and found that there was indeed no one in the courtyard, and the valuable things in the house were all taken away.

Mrs. Deng grabbed his hand and asked, "What about the Tian family, are you really gone?" ”

Zhang Qing nodded heavily.

Deng Lao Niang hurriedly said: "What can I do, the Tian family is really not a thing, so I just ran away, what about the future affairs of that branch, do you want us to work?" ”

Old man Deng frowned and said, "Of course not, where did the Deng family bury the married daughter, if the patriarch knows, we must be expelled." ”

Deng Lao Niang hurriedly said: "This can't be done, we are going to be buried in the grave mountain in the village, and we can't be expelled from it." After Mrs. Deng finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Qing, she took Zhang Qing's hand, and looked embarrassed: "Qing'er, you also saw it, the Tian family ran away, no one cares about your mother's future, you are his son, this matter depends on you!" ”

Second Uncle Zhang pulled Zhang Qing behind him, and he said with a cold face: "Didn't Qing'er's mother remarry, Qing'er will pay a few dollars at most to buy a coffin, as for the burial, this is your Deng family's business." "Second Uncle Zhang still hasn't said a word, if there is no place to bury it, then he will be dragged to the mass grave, but in front of Zhang Qing, he can't say this.

He couldn't see the Deng family eating their Zhang family, in the past, if he didn't interfere, it would be in the way of the eldest brother's face, but now, the two families are not in-laws, and he has no scruples.

Deng Lao Niang looked at him with a displeased face: "Uncle Qing'er, I'm talking to Qing'er, what are you meddling?" ”

Second Uncle Zhang sneered: "I was asked to come over just now, why didn't you think I was troublesome?" ”

Zhang Qing pulled Zhang's second uncle, and he looked apologetic: "Uncle, this matter has made you embarrassed, why don't you go home and rest, anyway, the Tian family is gone, and I ...... it."

Second Uncle Zhang looked at him, half loud, and then spoke: "Qing'er, you are an adult, you are in charge of your mother's funeral, this is what it should be, I won't say anything, it's just, don't bring trouble to the Zhang family, your father may marry again, and the Zhang family has no place for your mother." His words were also a reminder.

Zhang Qing's face turned pale, and he didn't seem to have thought about his father remarrying.

In fact, the second uncle Zhang said this, mainly to Zhang Qing to dispel the idea of burying his mother in Zhangjia Village, their family is already ashamed enough because of Deng Zhi's matter, if Deng Zhi is buried back to Zhang's family, then his brother will not become a green-headed king.

Hum.

Second Uncle Zhang would never watch this happen, even if it was his own nephew.

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Uncle, I know, grandpa and dad have told me about this, don't worry, we only handle the funeral." ”

Mrs. Deng blocked the sentence 'no' on her lips, she squinted her eyes, Qing'er and his uncle are still there, and whoever says anything now will definitely oppose it, so it is better to wait for him to leave, and then think of convincing Qing'er.

Deng Lao Niang felt that Zhang Qing was also Deng Zhi's own son, and it was impossible not to find a place for his mother to be buried, otherwise, it would not be an unfilial son!

Zhang Qing persuaded Zhang's second uncle away.

Second Uncle Zhang was really tired, and Zhang Qing said that he was measured, so Second Uncle Zhang believed half of it, he thought, the funeral was very troublesome, and this day and two days were not over, so he was not in a hurry.

Thinking like this, Second Uncle Zhang's heart was relieved, he went back with a calm face, he decided to make up for sleep, and when he got home, he saw Su Aniang, and sighed deeply.

When Su A-Niang saw Second Uncle Zhang coming back, the first thing she asked was: "Has the child been found?" ”

Second Uncle Zhang shook his head, Da Chun had to ask every day, he was used to it, and he even thought about moving out to live. However, he felt that Da Chun was pitiful, if he moved out like this, what if he encountered such a thing again? Second Uncle Zhang didn't dare to think about it, and in the end he didn't move out.

Su A-Niang's eyes were disappointed, she forced a smile, and said as if talking to herself: "They must be fine." ”

――

As soon as Second Uncle Zhang left, Mrs. Deng touched her tears in front of Zhang Qing: "Qing'er, your mother is bitter, she didn't enjoy anything before she died, you can't let her not be at peace after she dies!" ”

Zhang Qing said seriously: "Grandma, don't worry, even if the Tian family runs away, we will hold a beautiful funeral for my mother." ”

Mrs. Deng was overjoyed in her heart, and said: "You still have filial piety, and they all say that it is good to have a son, that's right!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people in the gambling house came over with Deng Sizhi, Deng Sizhi saw the old couple of the Deng family, he was happy all of a sudden, even his father and mother were there, and the sister would definitely not borrow his money! This thing is good, Deng Sizhi also hummed a little song, and from a distance, he greeted Deng Lao Niang: "Dad, mother." ”

Old man Deng and Mrs. Deng heard Deng Sizhi's voice, their eyes were not very good, until Deng Sizhi approached, they found that it was actually someone from the gambling house who followed Deng Sizhi!

Mrs. Deng's face changed greatly, the people from the gambling house had smashed her home before, she was afraid of these people, so she dragged Zhang Qing in front of her.

Deng Sizhi smiled and asked, "Mother, why don't you go in?" ”

After he finished speaking, he walked to the door of the Tian family, he approached the door and found that the Tian family's house was locked, he turned his head and asked Deng Lao Niang: "Mother, sister, aren't they at home, why is the door locked?" ”

Mrs. Deng's lips trembled, and she pointed to the gambling house and asked, "What are they doing here?" ”

Deng Sizhi still had a smile on his face, and he said: "It's a few friends from the gambling house, I owe them a little silver, I want to find my sister for help, and my brother-in-law shouldn't introduce it, right." ”

After Deng Sizhi finished speaking, he added: "Mother, this is related to your son's life, you have to help me talk to my sister-in-law." ”

When Mrs. Deng heard this, she was angry, she looked at Deng Sizhi angrily, and scolded: "Beast, why did you gamble again?" ”

Deng Sizhi said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, mother, I won't bet again after this bet." He talks like a fart, and he may be able to manage it for a few days, but after that, he will make old mistakes again, and Mrs. Deng doesn't believe him anymore.

He saw Zhang Qing, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Why are you here, do you know that your mother is married to a good family and came to ask for silver?" He looked at Zhang Qing with disdain, "I said, before your Zhang family did everything, your father divorced my sister-in-law, your father is really shameless, and sent someone over to ask for silver,......

Zhang Qing looked at Deng Sizhi coldly and said, "My mother is dead." ”

Deng Sizhi was still counting Zhang Qing, and when he understood Zhang Qing's words, his face suddenly turned pale.

Zhang Qing added another sentence: "She won't pay you gambling debts in the future, and in the future, you will still pay the money you owe yourself." ”

This time, Zhang Qingzhen died of heart for this uncle.

Deng Sizhi was anxious all of a sudden, he jumped up and grabbed Zhang Qing's neck and shouted, "What are you talking about!" Why are you cursing my sister, you wolf-hearted thing......"

Zhang Qing stretched out his hand and pushed Deng Sizhi away fiercely, and Deng Sizhi fell to the ground.

Zhang Qing said coldly: "Since you are the eldest brother, I feel so sorry for my mother, otherwise I will leave my mother's future affairs to you." Zhang Qing knew that Deng Sizhi would not care about his mother's future, he said so on purpose.

Deng Sizhi sat on the ground and scolded: "You just died, you bastard, you have something that your mother has not taught......

Zhang Qing raised his fist, originally wanting to beat Deng Sizhi, but he thought that the person in front of him was also his mother's brother, he put down his hand, and he said to Mrs. Deng: "Grandma, grandpa, I'll go to the coffin shop to see if there is a suitable coffin." He didn't want to see Deng Sizhi, let alone Deng Sizhi's gambling debts.

In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why his mother was divorced by his father was because of this gambling debt.

After Zhang Qing finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Old man Deng suddenly pulled Mrs. Deng and walked to Zhang Qing's side, and he said as he walked: "Ah Qing, wait, let's go together!" From beginning to end, Old Man Deng didn't look at Deng Sizhi, it was gambling debts, he was afraid that the people in the gambling house would pull him again, as for Deng Sizhi's son, he should have never given birth to him, whether he was dead or alive, let it be fate.

"Wait." The people in the gambling house spoke up, and they not only stopped the two elders of the Deng family, but even Zhang Qing.

The leader of the gambling house walked over slowly, only to hear him say: "I just heard that the person who wanted to help Deng Sizhi repay the silver died, since you are Deng Sizhi's relatives, it just so happens that he has no money to repay the silver, why don't you pay it back?" ”

Sure enough, it was again!

Deng Sizhi shouted: "That dead boy lied, my sister is not dead!" She'll help me pay it back!" ”

The man at the gambling house pointed to the word 'sell' on the side of the door and said, "Oh, what is this?" ”

He looked at Deng Sizhi and asked, "Do you have the title deed of this courtyard, if you have, you can use it to pay off the debt." ”

Of course not.

Deng Sizhi stared at the two words for sale on the door, as if he had a grudge against those two words.

The man in the gambling house blew his fingernails, and then he looked up and said: "Deng Sizhi owes us twenty taels of silver in the gambling house, and if he doesn't pay it back, we will cut off his hands and feet." ”

Deng Sizhi was extremely frightened, and he looked at Old Man Deng pleadingly: "Daddy......"

Old man Deng glared at Deng Sizhi angrily, and he turned his head to the person in the gambling house again: "He pays back his silver by himself, it has nothing to do with us, I should have never given birth to this son!" Even if you want his life, I don't care! ”

After the old man Deng finished speaking, he scolded Deng Sizhi again: "Waste." ”

Deng Sizhi looked at Old Man Deng with a shocked face, he saw that Old Man Deng was about to leave again, he hugged Old Man Deng's feet in a panic, and cried: "Mother, you can't ignore me!" ”

Now the key is to return the money.

Mrs. Deng opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but he Old Man Deng spoke up: "It's all him you are used to, if you do this again, then you will live with him for the rest of your life!" Old man Deng's face was very ugly.

Mrs. Deng didn't dare to speak, but quietly gave Deng Si a look, and she snorted in the direction of Zhang Qing.

Deng Sizhi understood, he let go of the hand holding Deng Lao Niang, he flatteringly walked to Zhang Qing's side, and said with a flattering face: "Aqing, it was my uncle who was wrong just now, it was my uncle's words that were too heavy, I am not a thing, you must not take it to heart, Qing'er, I am your only uncle, your mother is dead, I am your only relative, you must help me!" ”

Zhang Qing was unmoved, and said coldly: "I don't have any money to help you pay off your debts." ”

Deng Sizhi blurted out: "Then you go and borrow it!" ”

Zhang Qing turned around and left.

Deng Sizhi rushed over and didn't want him to go, Zhang Qing heard the movement and avoided the side, Deng Sizhi fell to the ground, Zhang Qing was still walking forward, the people in the gambling house stopped him again, Zhang Qing said coldly: "Get out of the way, I don't owe you money." ”

The people in the gambling house glanced at the leader, and the leader raised his voice and said: "You just left like this, then Deng Sizhi has no money to pay off the debt......

Zhang Qing said indifferently: "That's his business, what does it have to do with me?" Why don't you go to his son and daughter to pay off the debt, and you want to stop me? ”

When the leader heard this, he actually felt reasonable, yes, generally the debts are owed by mothers-in-law, sons and daughters, and there is really no reason to find a nephew to repay the debt.

He waved his hand and said, "Let that kid go." ”

Zhang Qing left without hesitation, since the two elders of the Deng family, Zhang Qing clearly saw Deng Lao Niang's eyes on Deng Si just now, he was twice as separated from the Deng family, and he didn't see each other often over the years, to be honest, he really didn't kiss anywhere.

Old man Deng also wanted to follow, but he was stopped by death, and the leader said this: "You are Deng Sizhi's father, I heard that your family is still your master?" No nonsense, since you are looking for money to pay off your debts, let's go, let's go to your house and see what else is valuable, maybe you can pay off your debts. ”

He laughed as he spoke, his face smiling, but his eyes were cold.

He had already guessed that the Deng family had nothing of value, Deng Sizhi was a frequent visitor to the gambling house, and his little family background had already been figured out by the people in the gambling house.

Mrs. Deng looked at Zhang Qing's back and couldn't help it, she shouted loudly: "Qing'er, Qing'er, go find your second uncle for help!" ”

Zhang Qing had already walked away, and he didn't know whether he heard it or not.

The leader of the gambling house came over unhappily, and he took out a thick stick in his hand, and Mrs. Deng was so frightened that she retreated back.

Mrs. Deng nervously explained: "I want Qing'er to find his second uncle to make money, really." ”

The leader stared at Mrs. Deng for a while, and he snorted softly: "It's better to be like this." ”

Mrs. Deng shrank behind Old Man Deng, and when she saw that the people in the gambling house couldn't take care of her, she whispered to Old Man Deng: "A-Qing, that kid really has no conscience." ”

Old man Deng glared at her angrily: "Do you really think that no one saw what you did just now?" ”

Mrs. Deng's face changed suddenly, and she forcibly said: "So what, Ah Qing ...... him"

"Shut up, you're not a fool." Old man Deng listened to him impatiently.

Mrs. Deng reluctantly shut up.

The people in the gambling house took the three members of the Deng family to the Deng family, the old man's heart sank little by little, his face was full of sadness, the land deed of Dengjia Village did not know whether it could be guaranteed, and the field was handed down by his father, but it could not be broken in his hands.

Deng Sizhi shrank his head and brained, but after he saw Old Man Deng's increasingly ugly face, his face gradually became bright, and he said in his heart, his father must have good things in his hands, and he can definitely repay his debts.

They finally arrived at the courtyard rented by the Deng family.

Mrs. Deng trembled and opened the door with the key, and the people in the gambling house forced them to lead the way, and after entering, they were dumbfounded.

The house was turned into a mess, and the valuables were gone!

"There's a burglar in the house!"

Old man Deng hurriedly went to the place where he hid his private vault, it was gone, there was nothing! He sat on the ground as if he was seriously ill, and his whole body suddenly aged ten years.

The little thing that Mrs. Deng had saved was gone, she was leaning against the wall, and her head ached suddenly.

The people of the gambling house searched the house, and found that there was nothing of value, and the leader snorted, and then gritted his teeth and said, "It's really fucking back!" ”

The people in the gambling house took Deng Sizhi away, Deng Sizhi cried and shouted, dragged the door to death, and then dragged the tree after being pulled away, he howled: "Dad, mother, you can help me think of ideas!" ”

Old man Deng sat on the ground in a daze, he was immersed in grief, and he didn't hear Deng Sizhi's words at all.

Deng Lao Niang held the door, watching the people in the gambling house take Deng Sizhi away, she couldn't do anything, after a while, I saw her suddenly rush outside, I don't know where she got the strength, she caught up with the pedestrian at once, she stood in front of the person at the head of the gambling house, gritted her teeth and said: "Don't you just want a life, take my life for him!" ”

Deng Sizhi looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.

The people in the gambling hall looked Deng Lao Niang up and down, and then sneered: "What's the use of your old thing's life?" ”

Mrs. Deng said sadly: "I have nothing, and I won't be able to live for the rest of my life, so it's better to die!" ”

The people in the gambling house didn't like this old thing, and still took Deng Sizhi away.

Mrs. Deng went back in despair, when she went back, Old Man Deng was packing up her clothes, and Mrs. Deng looked at him puzzled: "What are you doing packing this?" ”

Old man Deng said in a sullen voice: "Go back to the village." ”

Mrs. Deng also silently began to clean up, and after a while, she said: "Isn't our title deed gone, will the house be occupied?" ”

Old man Deng said for a long time: "What can I do if I don't go back, if I don't have the silver, I will be driven out sooner or later, let's go back to the village, at least there are some relatives." Old man Deng was silent for a while and then said, "Don't we still have two daughters?" When my son dies, my daughter won't watch us die. ”

When Mrs. Deng heard this, her eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" ”

They didn't mention Deng Zhi's funeral with a very tacit understanding, they couldn't protect themselves, where was they still in the mood to meddle.

Despite their reluctance, they still left the county, it was very simple to get out of the county, it was easier than coming in, and the old couple was penniless and left.

After Zhang Qing set the coffin, he went to Deng's house again, he was going to talk to his grandfather about his mother's burial, but he found out that there was no one in Deng's house.

Did you get caught in the casino?

Zhang Qing was not sure, he decided to take a look, and he didn't want to go to the gambling house alone, so he went to find the second uncle, he thought, if the grandfather and grandfather were really detained in the gambling house, then let the second uncle help, and let the gambling house people release them, after all, it was the silver that the uncle owed, and the grandmother had nothing to do with them.

Even if Zhang Qing doesn't like them anymore, after all, they are relatives, and they are a little angry, and they will pass it as soon as they are released.

Zhang Qing thought, since he was going to his aunt's house, he had to buy something to go over, after all, he was married, he was an adult, so he couldn't go empty-handed.

Zhang Qing walked around the street and found that there were very few things sold on the street, and in the end, he didn't buy anything, not because he didn't want to buy it, but because there was really nothing to sell.

Zhang Qing went to the Su family.

Su A-Niang saw Zhang Qing, her face was full of joy, she pulled him to look left and right, and muttered: "Qing'er is thin, thin, what do you want to eat, my aunt will make it for you!" ”

When Zhang Qing heard this, his heart was confused, and he sighed and said, "Auntie, I have an urgent matter with my second uncle, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat, and I have to rush back before dark." ”

Su A-Niang asked, "What's so urgent?" ”

Zhang Qingqing became depressed, and he said softly: "My mother is dead, I have to bring the coffin back." ”

Su A-Niang's face was full of shock, and her tongue was knotted: "What, what, your mother...... He's dead? She hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?" Haven't heard of it? ”

Zhang Qing looked at Su Aniang suspiciously: "Didn't the second uncle tell you?" ”

Su A-Niang looked at Second Uncle Zhang's house and said, "Your uncle is very tired, so he went to rest when he came back, and he didn't say a few words." ”

"Sleeping?" Zhang Qing was a little confused, the second uncle was asleep, so did he go to the gambling house alone?

Su Aniang said to Zhang Qing: "Why don't you go and take a look." ”

Zhang Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, the second uncle is also tired, I'd better go by myself." After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but at this time, the door of Second Uncle Zhang's house was opened, and he saw Second Uncle Zhang yawning and walked out, but when he saw Zhang Qing, he laughed: "It turned out to be Aqing, I thought it was who came." ”

Zhang Qing was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle, are you awake?" ”

Second Uncle Zhang said: "Well, I'll rinse my mouth and come over to talk later." ”

Second Uncle Zhang went to rinse his mouth, he came back soon, Zhang Qing hurriedly told the Deng family about it, and also said that the old couple of the Deng family were not at home, he guessed that it might be in the gambling house, and he wanted to go and see.

Second Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "Then your uncle, it's really trouble-free, sooner or later he will die on this gamble." ”

Zhang Qing sighed: "Who said it wasn't." ”

Subsequently, Zhang Qing went to the gambling house with Zhang's second uncle, and they didn't go to cause trouble, so the people in the gambling house had no reason to stop them.

Zhang Qing went at a very coincidental time, and when he walked to the door of the gambling house, Deng Sizhi's body was carried out by the people of the gambling house.

Yes, Deng Sizhi died.

He sought an opportunity to escape, but was discovered by the people at the gambling house, and while fleeing, he hit his head on a stone and bled all over the ground, and died at that time.

The gambling house felt unlucky, and felt that Deng Sizhi was dead like this, and he was unwilling to get the twenty taels. Some people mention that yì take the corpse to feed the dog, and some people mention that yì take the corpse to the Deng family to exchange for silver, no matter how much, it is always money!

The people in the gambling house decided to carry Deng Sizhi's body to Deng's house to ask for silver, no? Won't you borrow it!

Zhang Qing didn't go over, and for some reason, he couldn't open his legs.

He pulled Second Uncle Zhang to retreat to a hidden position, and Second Uncle Zhang was slightly surprised: "Don't you go and take a look?" ”

Zhang Qing hesitated a little, he looked at Second Uncle Zhang and asked, "Should I go over?" ”

Second Uncle Zhang said: "Go ahead, so as not to regret it later." ”

Zhang Qing thought of his mother all of a sudden, he strode out, and the people in the gambling house saw him and were happy: "Heh, you kid is not Deng Sizhi...... What's it called? ”

Zhang Qing touched the snort of Deng Sizhi, and he was not dead.

The man at the gambling house said: "Don't try, it's long gone, the blood has flowed all over the ground, it's going to drain up, where can you still live." This kid is lucky, he died so neatly, if he didn't die, hehe. ”

Zhang Qing looked at those people and said, "He's all dead, give me the body, I'll take it back." ”

The person in the gambling house rolled his eyes and smiled: "How can there be such a cheap thing, if you give the silver, you will be allowed to take it back, if you don't give it, you will feed it to the dogs, and we will not give it to you." ”

Second Uncle Zhang walked over, and he said slowly: "Someone died? Who did this to you? Stop me......" Before he could finish his sentence, the man at the gambling house ran away.

Who made him wear a fast catcher?

For the first time, Zhang Qing felt that catching fast was so useful. He looked at Second Uncle Zhang and said, "Uncle, thank you." ”

Second Uncle Zhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhang Qing looked at the gambling house and said, "I don't know if grandma is in the gambling house." ”

Second Uncle Zhang said with great certainty: "Definitely not there, think about it, if your grandmother sees your uncle's corpse, what will happen to her?" ”

Zhang Qing understood, he carried Deng Sizhi, who was covered in blood, to Deng's house, and his clothes were dyed red.

Later, Zhang Qing bought another coffin, the cheapest kind, and he also borrowed silver from his second uncle to get it together, and there was still no whereabouts of the old couple of the Deng family.

Because in the town, the coffin was delivered to the door, and when Zhang Qing put Deng Sizhi into the coffin, Deng Shi came.

Deng Shi recognized Zhang Qing, how could his cousin not recognize him.

Zhang Qing was relieved when he saw Deng Shi, he pointed to the coffin and said to Deng Shi: "Cousin, my uncle owed gambling debts and died in the casino. ”

Deng Shi was a little stunned, although he didn't like Deng Sizhi very much, but he didn't expect Deng Sizhi to die so quickly, he walked over slowly and looked into the coffin, it was indeed his father in the coffin.

Zhang Qing said again: "Cousin, I'm still in a hurry to go home, I'll leave it to you here, by the way, grandpa and grandpa have been gone, I don't know where they went." ”

Deng Shi calmly said to Zhang Qing: "My father has to go to the village to be buried, and those are so false that I won't get them, and I will send my father back to the village for burial tomorrow." Are you coming over? ”

Zhang Qing was taken aback: "So fast? Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My mother's funeral hasn't been done, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." ”

Deng Shi smiled bitterly: "I forgot about it." He thought for a moment and said, "When my father's business is done, I will go to see my aunt." "Deng Zhi is very good to Deng Shi.

Zhang Qing looked at Deng Shi with some hesitation: "You really don't do anything?" ”

Deng Shi looked at the ground and said, "My father has lost all the money in the family, how can there be any silver to do this." ”

Zhang Qing didn't speak.

Second Uncle Zhang came over and said to Zhang Qing: "Qing'er, it's not easy to walk at night, otherwise, don't leave tonight." "I still have a coffin, but the road at night is quiet, there is no figure, and it is very scary.

Zhang Qing said stubbornly: "I have to go back, my mother is still waiting for my coffin." ”

Zhang Qing went back with the coffin, and Zhang's second uncle spent dozens of copper plates to hire a person to send Zhang Qing back, and he also asked Zhang Qing to stay with that person for one night, saying that he would come back early tomorrow morning.

Zhang Qing refused at first, saying that he didn't have to spend that unjust money, but later he couldn't resist the second uncle, so he agreed.

Thankfully, I agreed.

The coffin was extremely heavy, and they hadn't arrived home until dark, and there was still half a way away, and on the dark road, Zhang Qing saw her mother in a trance, and he was startled and almost screamed.

It wasn't until the person next to him woke him up that he knew that he had a dream, but he didn't think it was a dream, his heart was furious, and he felt that the coffin seemed to be heavier, as if someone was sitting on it.

Zhang Qing didn't dare to look back, the person next to him seemed to be ignorant, telling jokes to Zhang Qing all the way to pass the time.

Zhang Qing was not so afraid, at this time, he was extremely grateful to his second uncle for finding him such a companion, otherwise, he didn't know what would happen.

For Zhang Qing, time flies extremely slowly.

On the dark road, there were no five fingers in his hand, only the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of the wheels of the car, the man who was walking with Zhang Qing seemed to be sleepy, and he said to Zhang Qing: "I closed my eyes and squinted, and waited until you called me." ”

Zhang Qing hurriedly stopped: "Don't! It's coming soon, and it's there as soon as the front turns. ”

The man who was with him came to his senses, and he said, "It's finally here." ”

After the entrance of Zhangjia Village, they finally arrived at Zhang's house, and a lantern was lit outside Zhang's house to illuminate the gate of Zhang's house, but the house was dark, and the family seemed to be asleep.

Zhang Qing shouted outside the hospital: "I'm back." After a while, his daughter-in-law came and opened the door, and when she came out, she was alone.

Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law ran out when she heard Zhang Qing's voice, she saw Zhang Qing, with a smile on her face, and was about to welcome Zhang Qing in, but she saw Zhang Qing, but suddenly froze.

Zhang Qing saw her looking behind her, her face was wrong, Zhang Qing's scalp was numb for a while, but the person who was walking with him was very alarmed, he and Zhang Qing started to run at the same time, and went straight to the gate.

Then they looked at the coffin, and it was empty, and there was nothing.

Zhang Qing patted his chest, and he glared at his daughter-in-law: "What are you looking at, it almost scared me to death." ”

Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law said aggrievedly: "Of course it's looking at you, look at you, you're covered in blood, I thought something happened to you?" ”

The courtyard gradually lit up.

It turned out that everyone in the family was up, Zhang Qing felt relieved, and he was a little helpless to think about how his courage had become so small.

Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law said to Zhang Qing: "The eldest sister took her mother away, Xiaolu also followed, Xiaohu was left by grandma, I, I didn't go, you won't blame me." She looked at Zhang Qing uneasily.

Zhang Qing took her hand and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law looked at the coffin outside the courtyard, and she reminded: "Grandma said that the coffin is not allowed to enter the door, so ......"

Zhang Qing said calmly: "Then put it outside." ”

Zhang Qing hasn't eaten yet, and the person who was traveling with him hasn't eaten either, his daughter-in-law went to cook noodles, Mrs. Zhang came out with her clothes on, and she was unhappy when she saw the coffin, she said to Zhang Qing: "Put it away, don't put it at the door of our house." ”

Mrs. Zhang stopped Uncle Zhang again: "You and Qing'er carry the coffin farther away." Later, Uncle Zhang, Zhang Qing, and the three people who traveled with Zhang Qing carried the coffin a little farther away from Zhang's house.

This thing didn't touch it.

At this time, the noodles were also cooked, and Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law asked them to wash their hands, so they let them eat noodles, and they touched the coffin and ate noodles directly with chopsticks.

At the table, Zhang Qing was eating noodles with the man, Uncle Zhang didn't go back to the house, he was also at the table, he didn't eat, mainly because Zhang Qing said that he had something to tell him, so he didn't go back to the house.

The man who was traveling with Zhang Qing said while eating noodles: "I was scared to death just now, I thought it was haunted behind, I seemed to hear footsteps, and you were still asleep at that time." He touched the sweat from his forehead.

Zhang Qing's breathing tightened, and he said, "Next time, I won't dare to walk at night again." ”

Uncle Zhang looked at them with a frown: "Two big men, what are you afraid of, why are you so bold." "Uncle Zhang is very bold, and his yang energy is heavy, and he never sees those things.

Zhang Qing didn't say anything, only ate noodles seriously.

Uncle Zhang said again: "You still said that you would help your mother hold a funeral and have to keep vigil, what can you do with your guts?" ”

Zhang Qing's body stiffened.

Uncle Zhang stared at him and said, "What's wrong with you, you're afraid of being like this." ”

Zhang Qing originally wanted to tell Uncle Zhang about Deng Sizhi's death, but then he didn't say it, I don't know if he forgot or what.

That night, Zhang Qing didn't sleep very well.

The next day, he sent the coffin to the eldest sister's house, Zhang Xiaoshuang saw Zhang Qing, as if she saw a savior, she pulled Zhang Qing aside and said: "Ah Qing, my mother's corpse is not for me here, Yang Yang has been crying last night, no matter how you coax it, today too, I asked the aunt in the village, saying that I was scared." ”

Zhang Qing blurted out: "Sister, or I will bury my mother today." ”

Zhang Xiaoshuang was surprised: "Let's bury it?" ”

Zhang Qing told the Tian family, and also told the Deng family, the Deng family has no news, and his cousin is also busy with his uncle's funeral, his mother doesn't care about it now, his father won't take care of it, and his grandmother explicitly forbids it.

Zhang Xiaolu was silent for a while.

Zhang Qing said softly: "We don't have any money in our hands, who can we invite for a treat?" Isn't it a joke to invite people from Zhangjia Village? ”

He wanted to be buried in a hurry, the sooner the better, last night, he only felt that someone wanted him to walk around the house, he had a feeling that the person was like his mother, and she was still staring at him by his bedside!

He woke up with a scare!

The cold sweat on his head was a dream, he didn't want to have such a dream again.

――

Liuyang County, teahouse.

Wu Zhi is no longer a shopkeeper, he concentrates on being a storyteller, in the morning, he tells his own story, and after noon, he begins to talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

He had already talked about the Taoyuan Three Knots, Wu Zhi spoke loudly and powerfully, and the people in the teahouse listened to it with relish.

Su Yu's letter was written, but there was no one who sent the letter, she didn't go to Anding County, her letter couldn't be sent at all, the biggest problem was that Wu Zhi's letter was not sent out, although Wu Zhi's home was not in Anding County, but his house was close to that side, and when they inquired, they learned that no one went to the state capital.

If so, how could someone come and pick them up? The worst thing to look at is for them to walk back on their own.

Su Yu didn't give up, on this day, she went out again, she changed her clothes, changed into another dress, and the previous people were not popular, no one recognized, she wanted to find out if there was anyone who went there, whether it was a vendor, a relative, or something else, she had to go out and ask.

It's not okay to wait.

Su Yu's questions were very secretive, she mainly listened by ear, listening to others chatting and talking, so as to get useful information.

She was walking, and suddenly, she heard a voice saying: "That pair of stupid brothers are still fighting in Anding County, look at them like that, I'm afraid that if they die on the road." ”

"They have a big life, they are going to die early, and they haven't died until now, maybe when they get to the ground, they still won't die?"

Only then did Su Yu see that it was two beggars who were talking, and their bodies were dirty, Su Yu walked over quietly, and heard a few more words, "They also went to the pharmacy and wanted to steal the medicine, I see, they will definitely be caught!" Beat them to death! ”

"Stealing medicine? Didn't you say you were asking for some medicine residue? ”

"The dregs of medicine are also medicines, so it's still stealing ......"

The two of them were still talking, but Su Yu walked towards the pharmacy, beggar, a beggar who went to Anding County?

The beggar shouldn't meet a bandit, she also thought about pretending to be a beggar, but her woman, even if she pretends to be a beggar, is not necessarily safe?

Su Yu thought as she walked, she looked for a few pharmacies, and finally found the beggar who said she was going to Anding County in the last pharmacy, the guy from the pharmacy was chasing the beggar, "Let's go, don't stop in front of us and ruin the business, go away, go away!" ”

The beggar was not big, short and short, his body was very dirty, his clothes were tattered, he still had patches of frostbite on his hands, and he was barefoot, and he was very pitiful.

The beggar was pushed to the ground, he struggled to get up, he lowered his head, and limped out of the drugstore.

Su Yu looked in the direction he was walking, as if he wanted to go to another pharmacy.

"Wait." Su Yu stopped him.

The little beggar paused for a moment, but after a while he went on again.

Su Yu chased after him, "Wait." Su Yu grabbed the beggar's arm, and the beggar turned his head, his eyes full of fear.

Su Yu saw his face clearly, she only felt that her head was banging as if it was about to explode, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden, Xiaobao ......

The beggar in front of him turned out to be Xiaobao!

How so, what happened? Isn't Xiaobao at home, how can he be here?

------Off topic------

Actually, I also want to write that Deng Zhi has been sitting on the coffin and following them home.

But in the middle of the night, the more I wrote, the more scared I became.
