Volume 2 Returning to Hometown Chapter 64 Untying the Knot
"Not really!"
Qiu'er was so anxious when she saw that Li Zhi was so decadent and disgusted with herself, so she threw herself on him and buried her head in his arms.
"Not so! Childe is a good person!
Last year's drought caused no harvest in the fields, and because they didn't want to starve to death, many people were displaced like slaves, trying to survive and becoming homeless.
Others turned a blind eye to us and other homeless people, and some officials and masters even drove us away.
Only Childe took me in, so Childe is a good person!
The slave family followed the crowd and wandered around, but no one took them in.
The more the crowd walked, the smaller and smaller it became, and when the originally dense crowd of people reached the boundary of Yingchuan, there were only one or two thousand people left! ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to think of some terrible scene, hugged Li Zhi tightly, and trembled.
And Li Zhi was also attracted by Qiu'er's story, and when he saw that she was scared, he gently patted her on the back.
After a while, after Qiu'er's mood gradually calmed down, she continued: "Childe is guilty of killing more than a dozen people? ”
Saying this, Qiu'er raised her head and looked at Li Zhi, only to see that her face was full of tears and her face was sad.
"Does that son know that the slave family has also killed people?!"
Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, looked at her with an incredible face, and then thought of something, looked at her with loving eyes, and patted her back.
"Qiu'er doesn't have to lie to appease me, I'm fine, I just can't think about it for a while."
Qiu'er shook her head, buried her head in his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "What the slave family said is true, not to comfort the son."
The person killed by the slave family is Chun'er's brother! ”
Saying this, she hugged Li Zhi tightly, as if she wanted to draw strength from him.
Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that this soft and weak little woman in his arms had really killed someone!
However, Li Zhi believes in Qiu'er, she must have some reason, otherwise with Qiu'er's weak personality, how could she act like this?
With this thought, Li Zhi asked Qiu'er softly.
"Why did Qiu'er kill people?"
"Some of the homeless people in the slave family may have gone crazy with hunger, and when some people starved to death, they put ... And he gave the man's body... To give....... ”
She couldn't cry when she said this, but she couldn't go on.
Seeing this, Li Zhi gently patted her back and said softly, "I know, there is no need to say it." ”
Perhaps it was his reassurance that worked, Qiu'er shook her head.
"Childe let the slave family finish speaking, these words have been held in the slave family's heart for a long time, and the slave family doesn't want to hide anything from the slave family."
After speaking, she wiped her tears and said with a look of memory on her face: "It was around March this year, and the slave family was digging wild vegetables.
The slave family hurriedly ran back to his father and told his father about it, and after hearing this, his father told the slave family that these people were no longer people, and he wanted the slave family to stay away from those people.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Dad found a group of people to find those brute theories, and didn't want to ......! ”
Speaking of this, Qiu'er clenched her teeth and looked hateful.
"I don't want to, Daddy and the others were too weak because they hadn't eaten for a long time, and they were killed by that group of man-eating beasts! Moreover......! ”
Speaking of this, Qiu'er couldn't cry, her eyes were full of anger, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Moreover, Daddy and the others were made into dry food by those beasts!"
At that time, the slave family was watching from the grass on the side!
Daddy saw the slave family before he died, so he looked at the slave family crazily, and the slave family knew that it was Daddy who didn't let the slave family out! So the slave family ......! ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he hugged her tightly, wanting to give her some comfort, but he didn't know what to say.
At this time, I heard Qiu'er continue: "After the group of beasts left, the slave family collected the remains of Daddy's clothes and set up a mound for Daddy, and then hurried back to the crowd.
Because he was afraid, the slave family did not dare to speak out about this matter, so he kept it hidden.
In this way, after a long time, after coming to the Yingchuan realm, the crowd slowly decreased from more than 2,000 people to 1,500 or 600 people, and many of them were secretly ...... by them! ”
Qiu'er said this, biting her lip tightly, with a look of self-reproach on her face.
"If the slave family is bold and tells everyone about this, those people will not ......"
Li Zhi saw that she blamed herself, so he comforted: "I don't blame you, you are just a weak woman, and it is normal for people not to dare to say anything when you encounter this kind of thing, so you don't have to blame yourself." ”
Although Qiu'er knew that Li Zhi was comforting her by saying this, she still felt a little at ease in her heart.
"Thank you Gongzi for comforting, the slave family is fine."
Li Zhi was afraid that she was still immersed in self-blame, so he diverted the topic.
"And then? How did you deal with that group of people? ”
When Qiu'er heard this, she replied: "The slave family saw that they were getting more and more excessive, and they couldn't bear it anymore, so they told everyone about it. ”
At this point, her face was full of memories.
"The slave family remembered that it was a sunny day, and after the slave family told everyone about it, everyone was very angry, so they entangled hundreds of people to surround those animals!
Because the slave family witnessed the tragedy of their father and was afraid that they would repeat the mistakes of the past, they did not dare to follow.
I just heard from the people who came back that the brutes had been killed by them. ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he asked Qiu'er with a puzzled face.
"Although these things are related to you, but you didn't do it yourself, why do you say that you have killed people with your own hands, and you are also Chun'er's brother?"
When Qiu'er heard this, she fell into her inner world, and said slowly: "Just after everyone killed those beasts."
One day, Chun'er's brother came to the slave family, and the slave family remembered that he was walking with hunger at that time, and gave him a wild vegetable cake.
When he devoured the bread, he wept and begged the slave to kill him!
The slave family was a little overwhelmed at the time, so they asked him why, but he didn't expect ......"
Speaking of this, Qiu'er's face was complicated, and after being silent for a while, she continued: "I didn't expect him to be one of the murderers of my father!"
It's just because he came to see Chun'er on the day of those beasts' ambush, so he wasn't killed.
Because he was used to eating meat every day, after those people died, he couldn't adapt to the days of hunger and fullness, so he couldn't hold on to hunger after a few days.
came to the slave family but wanted to beg for death, and entrusted Chun'er to the slave family.
The slave family couldn't help his bitter pleading, and because of the hatred of killing his father, he hated him very much, so he ... Convenient......! ”
Speaking of this, she couldn't continue, and looked at Li Zhi timidly, afraid that he would hate herself because of this matter.
Li Zhichang sighed and gently patted her back to soothe.
"As the old saying goes: the hatred of killing the father is not shared! That man should be killed! ”
Hearing him say this, Qiu'er was relieved, seeing that he was still worried, Qiu'er stood up and looked at him seriously.
"Childe is still guilty of murder? Childe accepted us, and he is a great person!
No matter what Childe killed for something, the slave family believed that Childe's original intention was definitely not like this, otherwise Childe would not feel guilty. ”
Li Zhiyan shook his head when he heard this.
"I've let go of those things, I'm just lamenting the complexity of people's hearts."
At this time, Li Zhi didn't feel sleepy, so he sat up with the quilt on, took Qiu'er in his arms, and said to her softly.
"Since you told me a story, let's listen to Ben Hou tell you a story too."
When Qiu'er heard this, she immediately came to her senses, found a comfortable position in his arms, and listened quietly.
"That's a little story in my hometown, originally I just listened to it as a joke, but I didn't expect that there really be such a person in this world......."
