Chapter 164: Atonement

The first family was nothing special, the old couple sat in the yard weaving bamboo baskets, saw Zhou Xinzhi smiled and said hello, and the old man also handed out a few plums to quench their thirst.

"Taste it." Zhou Xinzhi wiped it with her sleeve, and took a bite directly, this plum is very sweet and sour, and the juice explodes, very satisfied.

The same is true of the second family, which is also two old couples, sitting in the courtyard and busy with something.

It's just that she looks old, and her hair is half gray, just like the first household, she greeted Zhou Xinzhi happily when she saw it, and took out the food at home for her to taste.

I walked more than ten in a row, and this can be regarded as a temporary end.

Sanlipu is not big, and it is also a small village that has been independent, and basically people have lived here for generations, so there are few new residents here.

The last family lived in a faltering old woman, her face was wrinkled, she looked like she was sixty or seventy years old, and her teeth had almost fallen off, but her eyes were still very clear.

"Nan Nan is back, but I miss my mother, I have left you a lot of treasures, all of which were sent by your Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu, eat more in a while, look at you, I don't take good care of myself outside, and I have lost a lot of weight......"

The old woman took Zhou Xinzhi's hand and began to talk, and her eyes gradually lost focus.

Zhou Xinzhi whispered a few words, and then took the old woman back to the bedroom to rest.

"You still have a way, no matter what I say, my aunt just won't go back."

Aunt Kiyobo came out from the side, still holding the dirty clothes she had found from the inner room.

After the old man's daughter left, the people in the village began to take care of Granny Shen in shifts, she was also old, and people were confused, and they always felt that her family could come back.

"It's okay, I have to go back in a while, the rice and flour food brought to you this time are put in the car, and I will put it in the village warehouse in a while, you have nothing to stare at, don't be frugal, every time I bring you something delicious, it will be spoiled in the end."

Seeing Zhou Xinzhi chatting with the other party so familiarly, Li didn't understand what the other party was going to bring her over?

Could it be that he still wants to humiliate her like before?

After a few more words, Zhou Xinzhi said goodbye to Aunt Qingbo and left the courtyard with the Li family.

"Did you find anything after a trip?" She suddenly turned her head and asked Lee.

What did you find? Li Shi thought about it carefully, the folk customs here are also simple, and there is nothing special, she finally shook her head, saying that there is nothing unusual.

Zhou Xinzhi didn't hurt her much, just hooked the corners of her lips.

"Basically, seven or eight out of ten families in this village will have a daughter, but now all of them are gone." She looked at Li's calm eyes, and knew in her heart that she had guessed what she was about to say.

"Some people are okay, they have two children at home, they have lost a daughter, and at least one son can support the elderly, but after all, it is the meat that has fallen from their own bodies, do you think they are uncomfortable, let alone have only one child in the family."

"But ......"

Li couldn't imagine that these lively and cheerful old people were actually people who had experienced so many events.

"But they don't make outsiders see, do they?" Zhou Xinzhi was silent for a moment, and continued, "The first family you saw, after learning that their daughter was married to a secret marriage, didn't even know where they were, and once shouted that they wanted to die with their daughter, and some people were even more excited than this. ”

"You blamed me back then, just turn a blind eye, why did you frame your husband and brother in the family, but now that you think about it, do you still think it's wrong for me to do this?"

She looked up at Li and saw shame in her eyes.

"I'm not ashamed of what I brought you here now, everything you see is built up little by little by me and Lisheng, day and night with you, enlightenment, and atonement for the wrong things your brother and Du Rongsheng did, and now this village has finally returned to peace, but it is no longer the village it used to be."

At first, it was just easy to help, and the main thing is that you can exchange F-Points.

But after getting along, Zhou Xinzhi became more and more unbearable, obviously everyone did nothing wrong, but they had to suffer so many grievances, and the child was abducted and sold, which is a sad thing, but everyone still had to break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

It's not that the government is inactive, even if it is the government's action, it can't dig up all the graves.

"But why do you want to do this, obviously ......"

Li looked at her with some shock, obviously it wasn't her fault, why did she come here to atone for Du Rongsheng and Li Yang?

"Probably because I couldn't get over it in my heart, if I had found out earlier, so many families would not have lost their beloved daughters." She laughed at herself.

Those girls have just grown up, and they have not seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, if they are placed in modern times, those girls are not yet adults, but they have already completed a short life.

How not to make people feel distressed.

"I've watched it for a while, what do you think you think?" Zhou Xinzhi glanced at her, and didn't say much, if this Li family was still saved, she wouldn't mind helping, but if there was no cure, then forget it, it didn't hurt to leave her to fend for herself.

Li Shi did not answer her words immediately, but carefully recalled the demeanor and movements of those people.

Everyone in this world is trying their best to live, and it is true that these old people are much more pitiful than her.

"Even if I feel guilty in my heart, I can't ask my brother to return all those girls, so what does it matter if I feel guilty or not." Li smiled bitterly, and his eyes were cloudy.

Although she said frustrating words, Zhou Xinzhi still caught the remorse in her tone.

"In this case, Du Rongsheng I will pay for the silver to bury you, and you will help me take care of these old people for the rest of the day, you don't have to come every day, come every three days, take care of everyone's food and clothing, as for the fortifications, I will help you find one, if you don't dislike it, I just lack manpower in my shop."

"Why?"

"What?"

She looked at the shock in Li's eyes, and looked over with some puzzlement.

"I was like that to you before, why are you willing to help me now?" Li Shi said that she didn't show up, she only felt ashamed, she thought she had the upper hand, but now that she looked, she lost completely from the beginning.

"No one can be a saint or a sage, let alone you, as long as you don't make mistakes in the future." Zhou Xinzhi didn't pay attention to it, and the three of them got into the carriage and went back.

Along the way, Qin Shuang was silently watching Zhou Xinzhi's actions, without interrupting or interjecting indiscriminately.

Such a righteous woman, although the adjectives she is going to say next are a bit rebellious, she still feels that this woman has the meritocracy of the world, and she doesn't know how many times stronger than today's queen.

Let's just say that it is her, maybe she can't do it to atone for her sins regardless of her past suspicions.

"Here are twenty taels, go back and take care of yourself, the calves can be cured, it doesn't matter how much silver, we are also a family, when you clean up, come to this warm soup pot to find me."

Zhou Xinzhi got out of the car and asked the little guy in the shop to help send the car back, and it happened that Du Lisheng also came out.

"If you can't do it yourself, Lisheng can also help, and when the time comes, you just have to come to him to help."

After all the explanations were finished, seeing that Li nodded heavily, she was much more relieved.

Holding the money given by Zhou Xinzhi, Li didn't want to mention how complicated it was, but he didn't expect that when he was down, the person who could help was actually a woman she couldn't look down on.

It's really hard to say what is going on in this world.

"What's going on?" Du Lisheng turned his head to look at her, looking at the back of the departing figure, he always felt a little familiar.

"Let's go, let's go to the backyard."

Zhou Xinzhi dragged him to the backyard and told Du Lisheng everything he had just done.

"Rongsheng died?"

Du Lisheng said that he didn't show up, even if Du Rongsheng's actions chilled his heart later, but anyway, they were brothers who had lived together for many years, and now that there was one less of the three brothers, it was indeed sour in his heart.

"Do you have any objection to my approach?" Zhou Xinzhi looked at Du Lisheng on the side.

He shook his head, not to mention dissent, he even admired this approach.

When Xin Zhi got married, the second room didn't make her unhappy, but now that she has encountered something, she has released her suspicions so quickly, which really makes him admire.

"I think it's really pitiful that she is left alone, so I thought about bringing her to our shop to do things, and then I can earn a little bit to make a living."

"It's okay, I'll go to Watson to talk about it later, after all, brothers, this last journey, should be sent together."

He saved the people back then, so he must see him go in the end.

Zhou Xinzhi nodded, in the next few days, Du Lisheng was busy with Du Rongsheng's funeral, and Zhou Xinzhi was busy redeeming the original two-bedroom house.

It didn't take much effort, after all, the other party didn't want to hug such a dilapidated house, as soon as he heard that Zhou Xinzhi wanted to exchange money, he immediately agreed.

After all, who would have trouble with silver.

A few days later, Du Rongsheng and Du Ziyang's funerals were held quietly in their original home.

The monks of Qiyuan Temple recited scriptures for the two of them, and finally buried them in the northwest corner of the Foggy Mountain, and the matter was over, but Li's leg could not be healed anymore.

Mr. Wen looked at it for Li, and finally sighed helplessly and shook his head, "It's been dragged on for too long, and there is no way to do this leg." ”

Li Shi has also been prepared for a long time, and waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, the left and right are just legs, at least you can walk now, it's a good thing, sister-in-law, don't worry too much." ”

At first, she thought that Zhou Xinzhi was acting coy and deliberately posing this posture, but now she understands that she is indeed too villainous.

Slowly, she also began to try to accept the other party's kindness and put away all the thorns on her body.
