It's just June, and the weather is already hot, and in the evening there is a slight cold wind, but the concrete road is still hot.

An old man with gray hair pulled a carriage on the official road slowly, the canopy on the car was opened, and only half of his body wrapped in white cloth could be seen, judging from the sweat beads and staggering steps of the old man, he was extremely tired.

Yuan Sheng raised his head and muttered softly, "I'll hold on a little longer, I'll be at Fangshan soon." This seemed more like an encouragement to himself.

An old man who was sitting under the big willow tree on the side of the official road and enjoying the shade greeted, "That brother come and rest, the old man has tea here to cool down the fire." As he spoke, he took out his purple clay pot and poured a small one.

Yuan Sheng pursed his chapped lips, stopped and began to grope around his body, he was really thirsty.

Lao Cui said with a smile: "Our Fangshan has set up a free tea stall for drivers like you to rest, if the old man collects your money, he will not be poked in the back." ”

"Thank you, brother!" Yuan Sheng took it and drank it dry in one go.

Lao Cui poured him full again, "Drink slowly, the old man has something in this pot, look at you, who is sweating profusely, shouldn't have pulled it from Yingtiancheng." Being a coachman is not the job you should do at your age, and you can't take your life to earn money. This car rider is also heartless, a few copper coins are enough for the train, but it is necessary to make a horse bus. ”

He took another cup and filled it, "Come on, come on, the old man will also give you a bowl of tea to quench your thirst." As he spoke, he lifted the canopy, "Why is it so tightly wrapped in this hot day, and I am not afraid of heat stroke." ”

Lao Cui went to uncover the white cloth as he spoke, and Yuan Sheng shouted when he saw this, "Don't!" But it was too late, Lao Cui had already lifted the corner of the white cloth, and when he saw the things under the white cloth, Lao Cui couldn't help but exclaim, and the tea cup in his hand fell to pieces on the ground.

He turned his head and pointed at Yuan Sheng with a trembling finger, "You, you, you......"

"Don't be afraid, uncle, it's not what you think." Yuan Sheng's face was full of sadness, "This car is not someone else, he is my biological son, he once went to school in the academy and later became an official, but he was not good at running errands for the emperor but embezzled and took bribes, which is why he was skinned by the emperor." ”

Lao Cui said with palpitations: "That's the case, I thought you were a villain." The old man knew that the academy was full of good children, and he had been taught by his grandfather to read the books of sages for so many years, how could he be corrupt and bribed, don't be wronged. ”

"There is no wrong!" Yuan Sheng shook his head, "I watched the case end step by step, and the evidence is conclusive, and no one has wronged him." As for why he embezzled and took bribes, I don't understand, although he doesn't have much, but I have never been short of his use, woo woo ......"

Yuan Sheng howled twice but no tears came out, his tears had already dried up. Lao Cui comforted him warmly on the side, "People can't be resurrected after death, and brothers still have to mourn and change." In any case, you should bury the person first, and then say, if you are short of burning silver, the old man can give you some. ”

"Thank you brother for your kindness, I never dare to touch your coffin book, I still have a little friendship with Xu Guogong, by the way, I begged him to sew the child's skin bag on, so that there can be a whole corpse, thank you brother for the tea." Yuan Sheng solemnly shook it, covered it with a canopy, and staggered away with the carriage.

The appearance of the corpse has been lingering in front of Lao Cui's eyes, and at dusk the family sat in the courtyard to eat without any appetite, looking at the red, orange and orange egg yolk on the plate, they retched and almost didn't vomit.

The youngest son, Cui Wu, hurriedly patted him on the back, "Dad, what's wrong, what's uncomfortable, I'll go find a doctor for you to take a look." ”

"I'm fine, if you don't take the egg yolk and disgust me, I'll do it!"

"Doesn't Dad usually like to eat egg yolks, you see how well this duck egg is picked, how beautiful the red, orange and orange egg yolks are."

"When I saw the egg yolk, I remembered the man's head this afternoon." At that moment, Lao Cui carefully talked about what he saw next to the official road this afternoon, and the two youngest grandsons at the dinner table were so frightened that they covered their ears.

Cui Wu knocked on the heads of the two little grandsons, "I'm afraid that it's useless, if you are asked to sew human skin like your grandfather, you won't be scared of pee." ”

"What kind of character is grandpa, these little cubs can compare, when they grow up, they will be sent to the academy to study medicine, and they will have the courage to cut two knives on the dead."

"I'm afraid that they won't be able to get into the medical department of the academy, I heard that they were all taught by their grandfathers, and they are protégés who entered the room!"

"It's hard to say, when I die, donate my body to the academy, and there will be a place. I'm not afraid of disemboweling this old bone to my grandfather, I'm afraid of skinning the emperor. Lao Cui stroked his beard and sighed: "Corrupt officials are hateful, but they can't kill people too much, the emperor is really ruthless!" ”

"Daddy! In this case, others can say that we can't say that in the end, the grandfather and the emperor are connected. ”

Lao Cui frowned and said, "Are the grandfathers and the emperor connected?" ”

"Otherwise, what does Dad think Uncle Guo means, Grandpa is the emperor's brother-in-law, and the emperor is Grandpa's brother-in-law, this is a relative who can't be closer, you have to be strict when you talk to people outside, especially the people in the Father's Mansion, you must always take care of Grandpa's face."

"Grandpa is the emperor's brother-in-law, and the emperor is grandpa's brother-in-law?" Lao Cui muttered softly, and there were old memories that seemed to be churning in the sea of knowledge.

"No, this is a real relative of the emperor." Cui Wu saw that his father's eyes were round, and a wisp of green juice flowed down the corner of his mouth, so he reached out and patted Lao Cui's shoulder, "Dad, what's wrong with you!" ”

Who knew that Lao Cui didn't react at all, and his body fell straight like a wooden stake......

Even though he had done countless surgeries, it was the first time that Ma Du had done such a thing as sewing human skin, and it was a bit cruel for him to return it to his former students.

Using scissors to cut off the thread, Ma Du let out a sigh of relief and said to Yuan Sheng, who was sitting aside: "It's sewn, do you want to see it again?" ”

"Don't look at it, grandpa's craftsmanship is naturally the best, bother grandpa to do this kind of pickling thing, slave ...... The poor monk is really ashamed in his heart, Amitabha. ”

"That's all I can do for Master Yuansheng, and I can't intercede for him."

"I can't complain about others, the poor monk doesn't complain about the emperor, the emperor has already spared him once, and he died by himself! Even though the emperor is ruthless, but what he said is right, you can't forget your roots, and even I have almost forgotten that I am just a begging monk. ”

Yuan Sheng turned his head to look at Ma Du, "The poor monk still has one more thing to ask his grandfather to fulfill. ”

"Oh, you still have a grandson, don't you? Send it over, I'll get him a place in the academy. ”

"Hehe......" Yuan Sheng laughed, "Grandpa misunderstood, the poor monk was wrong from the beginning, he was already wrong when he called his son with this name, and his doomed life should not seek wealth in every possible way, these years are like a dream of wealth and wealth, it's time to wake up." Now that I think about it, I used to have joy with my wife and children begging for food on the street, and there was nothing wrong with that. ”

Yuansheng's face had an indifference that he had never seen before, as if he had suddenly become a Buddha in an epiphany.

Ma Du asked, "What is the master asking for?" ”

"My son is gone, and the poor monk has no face to go back to his hometown to see his mother, so he just begs my grandfather to send someone to send the bodies of my father and son back to their hometown in Haozhou."

He smiled and shook the shiny scalpel in his hand, stretched out his hand and slashed heavily on his neck, and a red line of blood appeared on the flesh, and in an instant, a brilliant blood flower burst out......
