Chapter 209: The Second Life
Beijing
In a dilapidated courtyard, a woman with a big belly was screaming, her voice was hoarse, and the bulging blood from her lower body was flowing outward, which had already stained the mattress under her.
She used to be the charm of the drunken flower building in Beijing, how beautiful she was back then, and how embarrassed she is now.
She shouldn't believe in such a thing as true love, but unfortunately it's too late now, and she regrets it.
Thinking of the man who spent a lot of money for her back then, she smiled bitterly, thinking that she had found a man who could give her family, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
I don't know when, he became addicted to gambling, and he lost his family and let them fall for granted.
Looking at this 'home' with no walls, the woman wants to cry without tears.
Although he had nothing, the woman never left him, and she believed that he would change.
Today she gave birth, but her husband was nowhere to be found, she didn't have to guess to think of it, he must have gone to gamble.
This man is no longer saved, and her hope for him is shattered.
Somewhere in Beijing, the man was framed, and today he lost again, he was unwilling and wanted to go in again, but the thugs of the gambling visit blocked him out.
"Don't have the money and want to go in? ."
In the past, he was also a well-known figure in Beijing, and wherever he went, others either nodded to him or groveled.
It's only been less than a year, and he has actually become a lost dog, and the people he once looked down on can now verbally insult him, fists and kicks.
It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs!
"I have money, let me in"
When the thugs saw the man say this, they laughed and laughed, "Do you think you are still the former Li Gongzi?" Phew!
You're just a homeless wretched wretch now, what kind of place is this? Gambling, do you think it's your broken house, you can enter if you want? Haha..."
The sound of ridicule was endless, and the man was furious, "I didn't reward you before, but you dare to be so disrespectful to me"
"In the past, you were rich, you were an uncle, and we treated you as a guest, but now! You are a lost dog, who will sell you face? ”
The thugs disdained it, scoffed, and gambled on this gold cave, and money is the master.
"You, you wait for me, one day, I will make you regret what you did today," the man said angrily.
"Good... We are waiting for you, Young Master Li, haha..."The thugs laughed in unison, the world is like this, no wonder they respect themselves and are despicable.
The man reluctantly went home, thinking about how to tell his wife later.
The money was saved by his wife for sewing clothes, which she had intended to use when the child was born, but now that he stole it, her wife would definitely make a fuss.
Thinking of this, the man has a headache.
On the clouds, Xiao Mu was in disbelief, he looked at the dilapidated house below, and said, "Are you sure to let him devote himself to this family for the rest of his life?" That's too poor, isn't it? Can Jiuye live? ”
Xiang Ze disagreed, "What are you afraid of, isn't there still us?" If he really can't get by, let's just help him, I'm letting him experience the suffering of the world.
It is conducive to his cultivation, see what he did to the scourge of Beiyang Wangfu in his previous life, and he doesn't cherish it if he gives him brocade clothes and jade food, then in this life, let him be disgusted with clothes and food, and let him enjoy the fun of being a man."
"......" Xiao Mu was speechless, how did he feel that Xiang Ze did it on purpose.
"Jiuye, good luck"
A streamer from the sky flew into the woman's belly, and with a loud cry, the little baby croaked to the ground.
The woman laughed when she heard the child's cry, and finally fainted from exhaustion.
When the man returned, he heard the child's cry from afar, he was stunned, and then he was shocked, he rushed into the house, and when he saw the child in a pool of blood, he carefully picked up the child, and his heart was full of excitement.
"Saucer, wake up, look at our children"
The woman opened her eyes tiredly, and there was not much left of her life.
"Child... Child... I... Look," she said with all her strength.
"Here you look"
The child's face was red and shining, like a ripe apple in September, and the woman saw it, smiled, and raised her hand to touch the child, but it fell heavily only halfway up.
The man was shocked and exclaimed, "Butterfly? ”
The woman does not answer, and the man does not believe in the fact that his wife is dead.
Looking at her angelic serene face, the man suddenly had the idea that she was not dead.
Look, her thick eyelashes just seemed to be trembling slightly.
But it was a fact that his wife was dead, her body was slowly stiffening, and he was so poor that he couldn't even buy a coffin for his wife, and in the end, he had to bury her with a straw mat.
Time flies, ten years in the blink of an eye
"Li Sheng, where did your father go?" The dilapidated Xiao Chen ushered in a group of fierce and vicious people today, and he was looking for Li Wenxuan when he entered the door.
Li Sheng's long and narrow Danfeng eyes are like a pool of clear water, revealing infinite innocence, which is endearing.
He said, "I don't know, he hasn't been back for days."
"Since your father is not here, I have to tie you back, and when he pays off the gambling bill, we will release you when he does"
Over the years, Li Wenxuan has still remained dead, and he has become more and more addicted, and recently, he has borrowed a lot of money from gambling, and he doesn't even dare to go home because he can't afford to pay it back.
Li Sheng was detained, and the gambling visitor said that if he did not pay off the money within three days, he would kill his son.
Li Sheng was brought back in the morning, and Li Wenxuan was arrested in the afternoon.
In the ground
The air seemed to be filled with water vapor, and the dark void was filled with the smell of erosion and rotting corpses, which made people smell sick.
Li Wenxuan was trembling with fright, he knew why they came.
A man sitting in the middle spoke: "Li Wenxuan, do you know the rules? ”
"I know, I know," Li Wenxuan nodded.
"Now that you know, pay it back!"
Li Wenxuan was embarrassed when he heard this, where does he have money now.
"What? No money? ”
"No, not now, as long as you wait for me for another day, I promise to pay the money back"
"Where do you want so much money?"
Li Wenxuan borrowed a thousand taels of silver from gambling this time, if he was before, he would not have disdained it at all, this would be a drop in the bucket for him.
Unfortunately, that was once, and now he is penniless.
"Since you don't have the money to pay it back, let's pay it back with both hands! We take everything."
Someone approached Li Wenxuan, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, but he couldn't escape after all.
Ignoring Li Wenxuan's struggles, they forcibly dragged the person to the table.
The man patted Li Wenxuan's face and chuckled, "Did you run?" Stop dreaming, cut off your hand for me."
"Don't, don't, I have something to pay you back"
"Oh? What is it? ”
Li Wenxuan still has something there, he said that he was just dragging his feet for a while.
Suddenly, he saw his son standing beside him and pulled him over.
"Didn't you say anything that could be changed? I'm going to pay my son, is that okay? ”
The man looked at Li Sheng's face and smiled, "It's okay."
"In that case, will my account with you be offset?" Li Wenxuan asked.
The man didn't answer Li Wenxuan, he stared at Li Sheng directly, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
This kid looks really good! If it is sold to Qinglou, there must be a good price.
"Let's talk about it after signing the deed of sale!"
Someone spread a piece of paper on the table in front of Li Wenxuan, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all ready.
"Okay, I'll sign"
Li Wenxuan replied without hesitation, Li Sheng's heart was cold, this father really impressed him.
"I signed it, do you think it's okay?"
Li Wenxuan handed over the signed note, and the man looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, that's it, the child stays, you go!"
"Okay..."Li Wenxuan is like a lost dog, he sold his son just to give him a way to live.
He looked back at Li Sheng, unwilling, but in the end he left.
In this life, he is not a good father, let alone a good husband.
The singing and dancing in the drunken flower building is leveling, and the cigarette smoke is swirling, giving people a feeling of being real and illusory.
This kind of fireworks land is the most difficult to find a trace of truth.
Li Sheng was sold here, and the old bustard in the drunken flower building saw Li Sheng and liked it very much.
This kid will definitely be a cash cow when he grows up in the future.
Li Sheng changed his name in Zuihualou, called, Chenghuan.
The old bustard asked Zuihualou to learn a lot of things, and he didn't have to worry about any poetry and songs.
Unconsciously, Cheng Huan has been in the drunken flower building for ten years, and the young boy of the year has now grown into a handsome son.
What he usually does is play the piano for guests.
On this day, a wealthy businessman in Beijing took a fancy to Chenghuan and shouted that he had to bring people into the house.
When he didn't obey, when he fled, he accidentally fell into He Huachi, and a generation of stunning beautiful men disappeared.
Floating Jade Mountain
Jiu Ye didn't speak with a dark face, the hall was terrifyingly quiet, and Xiang Ze's heart was beating faster.
"Your idea again?" Jiu Ye opened his mouth coolly, not in a good mood.
"Yes, it's me" Xiang Ze was frightened.
Jiu Ye endured and endured, he couldn't get his anger down, thinking of his previous life when he almost lost his body, he couldn't wait to kill Xiang Ze.
It's all because of him.
"I'm doing it for your own good, too! Xiao Mu said, Xiao Mu quietly reached out and pulled him.
Fortunately, this time Xiang Ze understood what he meant, and he didn't speak again, looking like he had done something wrong.
This guy has just too many words.
Outside the main hall, an immortal attendant came in and reported, "Divine Monarch, a fairy said he wanted to see you"
Xiang Ze was slightly stunned, there is a fairy looking for Jiuye?
He heard him right!
"Let people in" Jiu Ye said, he didn't know who this fairy was and what was going on with him.
He turned to Xiang Ze and said, "In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to meddle in my affairs again, if not, you know the consequences."
"Oh! Got it," Xiang Ze said pitifully.
"Put away your performance" Jiu Ye was helpless, he looked at Xiang Ze, how could he feel very tired!
The immortal attendant lured people in, and when he saw the people coming, Xiang Ze was puzzled, "It's you?" ”
Jiu Ye frowned, but he didn't expect that it was her who came to find him.
"What are you doing in Fuyu Mountain?" Xiang Ze asked.
"I'm here if I want to, what? Don't you welcome me? ”
