Gu Yuancheng didn't answer my question that day, and I didn't expect him to answer me anything, I just looked at the hall full of spiritual flowers, and my heart was pale for a moment.

After Aunt You left, not long after Aunt Xu also left, I heard from the people in the village that she went crazy by herself, cut the wrist of her left hand with the fragments of the medicine jar, and finally bled too much and died of inability to treat her.

In just a few days, so many people died in the village one after another, and this already quiet place is now becoming more and more deserted, I walked slowly along the village road alone, and the road was full of white paper money flying with the cold wind, and occasionally mixed with it, only the fallen leaves of the dead branches and tips were scattered.

"Miss Shen? Why are you here alone? "I was lamenting that time was fleeting, people were warm and cold, and I was called behind the cold.

"It turned out to be Dr. Chen." I turned my head to look at him, "I'm bored at home, so I go out for a walk alone, so I can relax." ”

"Girl, don't be too sad these days, Aunt You's business...... It is a blessing and a curse, unpredictable, life is impermanent. "When Dr. Chen saw my haggard face, he knew that I was sad for the late Mrs. You, and out of kindness, he stepped forward to comfort me.

"I know." I nodded, "In a few days, my cousin will take my sister and me out of here, and it will probably be much better if we leave this sad place." ”

The people in the village didn't know that Aunt You was the murderer of so many people in the Liu family, the Liu family did not announce this matter, presumably Cai Yu told the Qian family about the pros and cons, although the Qian family lost her beloved son, but compared to the gains and losses of the family's interests, she still chose to settle the matter, after all, the person concerned is dead, and she doesn't need to worry about anything with a dead person, and in the end it damaged the reputation of the Liu family.

And ...... "I paused, my eyes sad "You are right, the world is impermanent, and no one can predict it." Those who are still alive should cherish this moment and this time. ”

"If the girl can see it, then I can rest assured, and I won't say anything more, my pharmacy still needs to be taken care of, so I'll leave first." Dr. Chen said to me.

I nodded, leaned over and stepped out of the way, "Thank you Dr. Chen for this explanation, you go slowly." ”

Dr. Chen smiled at me and hurried away.

I squinted at his back as he left, and a cold light flashed in my eyes.

Because Aunt You's house has been burned to the ground, several of us have lived in Liu's house, but because my heart is twisted, except for sleeping at night, I hardly stay at Liu's house.

Now I have been wandering outside for most of the day, but if I say that I will go back, it is not yet that time, thinking about it, I somehow walked to the door of the Wu family.

"Brother, brother, don't run so fast, Xiaoya can't keep up."

Two figures suddenly came out of Wu's house, in front of him was a little boy, he strode forward, his little hand seemed to be protecting something, behind him was a pink little girl, the little girl because she couldn't keep up, wrinkled her little face and hurried to catch up with the little boy in front.

"Stay at home, you have to come with me! The nurse said, this is the seed of the Qionghua, it must be put into the water at this time to bloom, the mother loves this flower the most, if you delay its flowering for you today, I want to let the father punish you! ”

The little boy had obviously had a prejudice against this "fart worm" for a long time, but when he saw his sister panting and sweating profusely, he couldn't help but stop and wait for her, and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with his sleeve.

"Brother is bad!" The little girl took the little boy's words seriously, and as soon as her little face collapsed, she immediately burst into tears.

Seeing this, the little boy circled around the little girl at a loss, and kept admitting his mistake, "It's my brother's mistake, my brother won't say anything like that, good sister, don't cry, let your father see it later, and I'm going to say that I'm bullying you." ”

Probably the little boy's words made the little girl's heart soften, she pulled the little boy's sleeve and wiped her face, puffed out her cheeks, and said in a milky voice, "You take me with you to put the flower seeds, don't leave me." ”

"Okay, no problem." When the little boy saw that the little girl was no longer crying, he was overjoyed, took the little girl's hand and led her to the river.

The two small figures gradually walked away, and I turned out of the corner and stepped forward and knocked on the door of the Wu family.

"Is that you?" It was none other than Master Wu who was about to go out, "Miss Shen." ”

"Master Wu wants to go out?" I looked at him, "Can we talk?" ”

Wu Zhongben just wanted to find his two children who loved to run around, and now that he met me at the door, he couldn't just drive me away or leave me here.

"Mother Wu, you go to find Xiaomo and Xiaoya, I have to treat guests here." Wu Zhong turned around and gave instructions to the nurse who was following him, and then welcomed me into the guest hall.

After the servant served the tea, Wu Zhong looked at me, "The girl came alone today, but there is something important to talk to me?" ”

"It's something." I glanced at the little guy waiting at the door meaningfully, and Wu Zhong understood, and immediately waved them all back.

"The girl said bluntly, there is no need to scruple." Wu Zhong said with a smile. Odd books

I stood up and took two steps back and forth, then sat down again.

"I'm the only one today, Master Wu, would you like to talk about the grievances with the Liu family back then?" What I said seemed to be just a dispensable proposal, but my expression was very solemn, so solemn that Wu Zhong, who wanted to refuse, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Why is the girl asking this?" Wu Zhong was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth to ask me.

"There's no reason." I looked at him and gently put down the tea cup of celadon orchid in my hand, "Master Wu, are you willing to believe me, a stranger, once?" ”

Wu Zhong frowned for a moment, and after looking at me seriously several times, he slowly shook his head.

"I still have a family to support, and I will never gamble with them."

Wu Zhong's reaction was what I expected, I wasn't surprised, I wasn't annoyed, I just looked at him lightly, "If I say, let you be for your 'family', is Master Wu willing to tell me what happened back then?" ”

"What do you mean by girl?" Wu Zhong was a little annoyed this time, after all, now his children were all he had, and he couldn't let people hurt them no matter what.

"I want you to live in peace." That's all I said to him.

There was silence in the living room, and Wu Zhong stared at me for a long time, thinking about it in his heart, but he couldn't make a decision for a while.

"Master Wu, Village Chief Liu relied on Mrs. Liu to become the village chief, right?" When I saw that he didn't respond for a long time, I opened my mouth first.

Wu Zhong glanced at me in surprise, and then nodded slightly, "Yes, that's true." ”

"Mrs. Liu is really a powerful person who 'doesn't let her eyebrows'." I said.

"yes." Speaking of this Qian Sanhua, Wu Zhong really has a lot of emotions "I want to ...... back then"

Speaking of this, Wu Zhong paused, and then sighed, "That's it, just tell you everything about the year." ”

My eyes flickered slightly, and I pushed the teacup in Wu Zhong's hand in his direction.

Wu Zhong looked up at me and couldn't help but smile.

"Back then, Liu Wen and I went out together, because it was the first time to go out of the mountain, and we were not familiar with the place, so we got together and went to Xuzhou together."

"Later, for various reasons, we separated, and when my business did a little better, I went back to the village, and it happened that he also came back at that time, and like me, he also started a business."

"I had a wife outside, but she died after giving birth to a little girl, and I haven't remarried for so many years, just because I can't let go of her."

Once a person talks about sadness, no matter how strong a person is, he will inevitably reveal a fragile side, Wu Zhong is no exception, although he is not confused, but when it comes to his wife who died in his early years, he still can't help but be sad, and even his voice is a lot darker.

"Ahem." Wu Zhong coughed a few times, and after calming down, he continued to speak.

"Liu Wen married Qian Sanhua before he went out of the mountain, the Qian family is one of the largest families in our village, I heard that their ancestors were officials outside, so they talk and do things differently in our village than others, they are considered to be superior, Qian Sanhua was willing to marry Liu Wen, it is estimated that he is low, and he can come by her words."

"Later, I and he were pushed to the position of village chief by the people in the village, and the original purpose of being the village chief was to maintain law and order in the village, so that the people in the village could have a place to speak and complain about grievances like people outside, so whether it was me or Liu Wenneng to be the village chief, I didn't care so much in my heart, but their Liu family should never do such a thing."

Although many years have passed, Wu Zhong is still angry when he mentions the events of that year.

"They've done it......" I hesitated and didn't finish my sentence.

"Back then, on the last night of the election of the village chief, a miracle suddenly appeared in the temple, and the king personally issued an oracle, saying that the people of the Liu clan were qualified to serve as the village chief, and the people in the village believed in the village chief, and no one dared to raise objections at all, although I had doubts in my heart, but I did not dare to say the words of doubt in public."

"Afterwards, the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, so I took advantage of the night to go to the temple to see, who would have thought that I would break one, a ......" Wu Zhongben wanted to say something, but when it came to his mouth, he seemed to have some scruples, and he didn't say it.

I didn't rush to ask, just sat quietly and waited for him to think through the pros and cons, and then tell the secret he had been pressing in his heart.

Wu Zhong paused for a long time, and looked tentatively several times during the period, but no matter how he looked at it and how he tried it, he couldn't see the purpose of my coming today, but one thing he was sure of was that I would definitely not be in the same group as the Liu family.
