Chapter 230, the tragic situation of the Ye family
Far away in the northeastern part of the Northland, there is a remote village, this village is not large, there are only a dozen families, all living at the foot of the mountain. There is only one poor family living in the middle of the mountain, a family of four, a father and a mother, a son and a daughter. The father is said to have broken his legs, and the mother was also sick with a medicine jar, and the family made a living from the son who went to the mountains to hunt, while the daughter took care of her parents at home.
The family is not a local, and it seems that they came here on a desert run, but they have been in this poor mountain village for ten years. A family of four, the son is twenty-seven, and the daughter is also in her early twenties, and she has not yet married.
Although the family is poor, but the family is good-looking, a few years ago, the parents' illness was not so serious, when the father can still drag a pair of sick legs to move slowly, at that time, there are many people to kiss, but unfortunately, they rejected for various reasons.
Later, when Dang's father couldn't move his leg anymore, saying that he broke his leg when he went up the mountain, the villagers wondered, just this lame, even the yard out of the struggle to go up, why go up the mountain? The mother was also very sick, coughing all day and night, and there was gradually gossip in the village, saying that this woman had tuberculosis, and since then, she has not gone to their house to talk to the matchmaker.
Occasionally, the girl was also made a concubine, but the son of the family was beaten out, so the family completely cut off contact with the people in the village, and a lonely broken grass house stood on the mountainside, and the son could be seen going to the town to sell prey in exchange for food, salt, and other daily necessities.
The days went by, and if it weren't for the fact that a group of iron-blooded soldiers on hussars came here and asked the peasants who were planting in the fields about the family. The family was on the verge of being forgotten by the people of the village.
The villagers straightened up, stared greedily at the silver ingot in the general's hand, and said what they knew.
"The family is very strange, and they don't have contact with the village, the son and daughter are so old, and the children in the village are all over the ground, but they are not married."
Someone corrected, "It's not that they don't get married, they are so poor, and their family is sick." Who is willing to marry their family! β
There was a different opinion. "A few years ago, it wasn't that no one wanted to get married, but they said that their daughter had promised someone and their son was also engaged, but they were separated when they fled. I haven't been able to find anyone. β
The man from before said, "Then you can't keep not marrying." If you can't find it. Could it be that these two people can't fight for a lifetime? β
Li Xuefeng listened to the discussion of the villagers, and a touch of distress and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, who forced the master's family to such a point. Let him find out and never let him go.
Looking at the distance halfway up the mountain, outside the lonely house, there was a weak figure struggling to carry a bucket, his heart suddenly clenched, threw the silver in his hand, and galloped away to the mountain.
Li Xuesi was behind, and he also threw out a handful of silver beans, and then beat the horse and ran towards the mountain, followed by the horse team, raising the mountain path to the loess.
Ye Zishu heard the sound of horses' hooves driving in at the bottom of the mountain, and her face couldn't help but change color. Their family has been here for ten years, because someone is watching them, and they are afraid of affecting Uncle Li's family, not only do they dare not contact them, but no one dares to have contact, for fear of bringing them tired.
Daddy is now unable to move with a broken leg, and his mother is getting weaker and weaker, although they are not short of silver, and their lives are not as poor as the outside world sees, but Daddy's illness, or poison, cannot be eliminated.
Could it be that after so many years, those people finally couldn't help but make a move?
She sighed secretly in her heart, her brother went to the mountains, saying that he was hunting, and only his family knew that he was going to collect medicine. At the beginning, they chose to live here, firstly, so as not to disturb Uncle Li and them, and secondly, because there were medicinal herbs in this mountain that could suppress the poison on their father's mother's body.
As for hunting, it's just a faΓ§ade.
"I hope my brother can escape this fate." Although he knew that his brother would not give up on them, he still hoped that his brother could escape and not put his life here in vain.
She turned around and walked quickly towards the house, she was going to die, and she was going to die by her father's mother's side.
"Phew" a cold voice came, and someone jumped off the horse and reached out to grab her arm as she walked to the door.
She jumped to her feet and roared, "Take your dirty hands away, and don't touch me, executioner!" β
Li Xuefeng's subordinates exerted a slight force, and at this moment, he only felt that his heart was extremely heavy, and his voice couldn't help but be a little hoarse, "Zishu-"
Ye Zishu's body trembled, who? Who's calling her?
Her body trembled a little, and she didn't know whether to look forward to it or be afraid, she slowly turned around, looked at the angular face in front of her, and was stunned.
There was an earth-shattering cough from the room, followed by a weak voice: "Shu'er? Are they coming? Then he let out a long sigh, "Alas, what should come is to come after all, let them in!" β
Li Xuefeng stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears on Ye Zishu's face, and said softly: "Shu'er, it's me, I'm here." β
Ye Zishu's tears kept falling, she couldn't wipe them at all, the tears blurred her eyes, she reached out and wiped the back of her hand fiercely, looking at the person in front of her without blinking, for fear that she was dreaming, and the person would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Why don't you come in if you're here? Are you afraid of me, an old man who is dying? Ye Changsheng's voice sounded again.
Li Xuefeng let go of Ye Zishu, glanced at her gently, and strode into the room. "Master, Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, it's me, Xuefeng, I'm late."
He entered the house and saw two old men lying on the kang, he knelt down with a flutter, and his eyes involuntarily turned red, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm late and let you suffer." β
He really regretted that he didn't remember who he was sooner and let his mother and younger siblings suffer. But that regret is not as obvious as this moment, who would have thought that Ye Changsheng, who was young, handsome and capable in the past, would become so miserable, not only his legs were broken, but his face was as old as a seventy-year-old man. And Aunt Ye, who was such a bright and hearty woman in the past, turned out to be a white woman, like a seventy-year-old woman. Compared with Fu's, it is believed that her mother is her mother.
At this moment, Li Xuefeng just wanted to kill.
It didn't take much to say anything for him to understand that the two were more than just seriously ill.
His heart was aching, his heart was bleeding, and the anger in his heart could not be relieved, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, who caused you to do this?" (To be continued.) )
