"Alright, let's do it, and let everyone go home and get ready." Old lady Wu is like giving an order.

When the people inside and outside the house heard this, some of them cried at that time, and they couldn't leave the home they lived in. There's no way around it, you can't just stay in the village and wait for you!

At this time, Lin Tong said: "Some people's buds in the field have not been broken yet!" ”

Yang Xu said: "It's all burning eyebrows, who can take care of the buds that haven't been broken, it's good to be able to take away all the food that has been put away!" ”

It was decided, and people began to disperse and go home to pack their things.

Old lady Wu said, "You all go out, I have something to say to Xingmei." ”

Everyone else went out in a strange way.

Liu Xingmei didn't know what it meant.

"Son, come closer."

Liu Xingmei approached the old lady Wu who was sitting on the edge of the kang.

"Old man, what else do you command?"

Wu Yuanzu leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do with Mei Xiang's death?" ”

"This—" Liu Xingmei was slightly stunned.

"With your personality, you shouldn't let your sister hate Jiuquan forever, it's time to settle the hatred for her, you can do it! Have you been waiting for this word from me? ”

"Yes!"

Liu Xingmei was able to understand it at all, but she never expected that this elderly man would have been able to see the cause of Mei Xiang's death a long time ago! With the words of him, the most authoritative figure, she was like a holy decree, and she no longer had any scruples. Killing the culprit Zhu Le has become a matter of course.

"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, you can't let Mei Xiang die in vain!" After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she got off the ground and walked out on crutches.

Liu Xingmei stood there stunned.

Old Lady Wu didn't look back and said, "After doing this, I still have something to say to you." ”

"Hey!"

Mrs. Wu went back accompanied by her son and grandson.

All the people went back and got ready.

The depressed Wu He also left, she sent her lover on the last journey, in the pain of heartbreak, perhaps the last lingering with Tao Zhenkun in the mountains and forests is the deepest memory she remembers! When she left, she took Liu Xingmei's hand and said, "You have to be strong, and you are ready to go!" ”

Liu Xingmei nodded in dementia.

All the comfort at this time does not reduce the sadness!

The noisy and sad atmosphere of the Tao family suddenly fell silent.

The Black Tiger was not found.

Liu Xingmei stood in the dark courtyard, dazed and miserable for a while.

Tao Zhenzong didn't leave, he came back again, just sent his father and mother out and gave some instructions. He didn't say a word, just silently carried all kinds of food onto the donkey cart and daily necessities for Liu Xingmei.

At this time, Liu Xingmei felt that he was also pitiful.

"You'd better go back and help your father!"

"I don't have to go back, they can be busy."

Liu Xingmei was silent.

"I know, the person you hate the most right now is me, and it was my amorous stupidity that killed my brother, I'm sorry! If you want to kill me to relieve your hatred, you can do it to me at any time, I will die without complaint! Tao Zhenzong said with tears in his eyes, and knelt in front of Liu Xingmei.

Yes, Liu Xingmei hates this man who is blindly infatuated with him, but he still doesn't die of a crime, because Tao Zhenkun's death has another reason, that is, why did he kill the division commander who knew him and knew him.

Human beings, in this world, have only two indelible and great emotions, and that is - love and hate! Public opinion can only be the most powerless praise and disapproval, like a diseaseless moan. Recite!

"We have all done things that are unforgivable, and we will always be condemned by our conscience! I'm not going to kill you, get up! Liu Xingmei gave up the idea of killing Tao Zhenzong.

Can a dead person be condemned by arguments and penitent?

"Then, in the future, I will not have any wrong thoughts about you, I will willingly be your slave and atone for it!"

"Well, now I'll tell you to do one thing, and you have to do it."

"What's the matter?" Tao Zhenzong stood up and asked.

"It's almost dawn, you go and trick Zhu Le into trying to trick him to the place where the big willow tree is on the edge of the river, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about this."

"Yes!" Although Tao Zhenzong was suspicious in his heart, as a slave, he didn't dare to ask his master why, so he took the order.

The night is dark, this is the darkness before dawn, and the morning star hanging in the sky is extraordinarily bright. The cold air hit people, and it should have been silent at this time, and people could sleep sweetly for a while, but from last night to now, people can no longer sleep with peace of mind!

The roosters in the village were crowing, the sky was beginning to darken, and a red dawn appeared in the east. At this dawn, two black figures hurried along the banks of the Fairy River, one tall and one short, very distinct.

"I have an antique buried by the river, you can help me get it, it's not too heavy, it's a vase from the Yuan Dynasty. It's a valuable goodie, so I'm going to take it with us when we go. "It was Tao Zhenzong who brought Zhu Le here almost forcefully and coaxed.

"Then why don't you find someone else, at least your father and mother ——?"

"You know, too, they ignored me. Looking for someone else, who is not a nest of eight, there are many people, I don't worry, so I can only believe you. ”

"That-then you should also go to Liu Xingmei?"

"She-we're together, it's me who is passionate, and I can't be an upright gentleman in my life, but I don't have a close relationship with her. After all, she is a person with a foreign surname, Zhenkun's death made him hate me even more, he hated me to the core, even if she didn't guard against me, I had to guard against her, right?! ”

"It's—but I'm busy packing up now! It looks like a poor family, there are a lot of tattered things, everything you see is good, you are reluctant to throw it away, and you can take away everything you can take away. ”

"There are still 3,000 nails left in the ship! However, the belt that should be brought, it is also cumbersome to bring more, and it is troublesome to delay the journey, just how much can you pull in your broken ox cart, just pick up the main belt. If you're okay in a few days, you'll be back. I'll help you when I get back, I won't have to wait long. Besides, as long as the vase is sold for money, you will naturally have a share at that time. ”

"Okay then, it's a word, don't forget me when you have money."

"That's for sure, you just put your heart in your stomach, you can rest assured that I will do things, and I will never treat you badly, I promise you! When you have more money, you go outside again, it's no problem to marry a wife, maybe you will be a big girl with yellow flowers, and then you will have a good life, think about it. ”

"I am a person who cannot resist temptation, and my heart is moved by what you say. Where did you get the vase, I've never heard of any treasures in your house? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I stole it at a friend's house when I was studying in Rehe, so I didn't read the book and ran back secretly, and I didn't dare to put it at home when I came back, so I found a place by the river to bury it, and you have to keep it secret from me after you know about it!"

"With my benefits, of course I won't tell outsiders."

"That's good."

"Is it really worth it?"

"It is said that it is Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, which can be worth the money of the old nose."

"The blessing of riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair is repaired, and the cart bears the burden of life. Originally, I wasn't the life of a great fortune, but this-"

"This is pie in the sky for you, there is an opportunity to change your fate, you must seize it, not to be missed."

"Hey, why did you forget to bring Zhang Gong, this is empty-handed?"

"It's not that deep, you can pick it out with your hands."

"That thing won't be too heavy, it's not too big, you can alone-"

"I went to the river alone and felt empty, and it wasn't completely bright this day, I was naturally timid and a little scared!"

"I'm a solid-eyed man, and if you say that rats can produce elephants, I'll believe me."

Tao Zhenzong smiled and said: "If you hold a Ruyi golden hoop stick in your hand, wear a phoenix winged purple gold crown on your head, and wear lotus silk on your feet, you will become Sun Wukong, and that is a monkey spirit." ”

"You're kidding! Why don't you look for someone else? ”

"It's not that I'm not afraid that others won't believe me, didn't I say it, now everyone who looks at me is like a red-eyed madman, and they all hate me!"

This reason made Zhu Le feel that it was past after hearing it, so he eliminated his guard, not to mention that money was really attractive to him. He didn't take the gong and mallet handed to him by Old Lady Wu, as if he had forgotten his sense of responsibility. Now that they are going to be evacuated, the gongs and mallets will probably not be useful. And when he had the opportunity to ring the gong to show off several times, it was self-defeating and self-defeating!

At this moment there was the neighing of horses by the river.

"Someone!" Zhu Le was startled and stopped moving.

Liu Xingmei emerged from behind a willow tree, and the muzzle of the black shotgun in her hand had long been aimed at him.

"You guys are ——?"

Before Zhu Le could finish speaking, the gun went off, the first shot hit Zhu Le's crotch, and the blood suddenly splattered out of the flowering hole, he screamed in pain, and just covered the sin with his hand, followed by the second shot, this time it pierced his skull, and the dead body collapsed to the ground.

Tao Zhenzong was stunned to the side, covered his ears with his hands, and squatted on the ground.

Liu Xingmei walked over, came to Zhu Le's dead body and kicked it twice. Tears flowed down, and she murmured softly: "Sister Xiang, sister has finally avenged you, you can look at Jiuquan, but you can't carry his head to your grave to pay respects!" ”

"What are you doing here?" Although Tao Zhenzong understood why, he still asked.

"It's a scourge for him to remain on earth!"

"But is this human life?"

"Don't talk nonsense, throw him into the river?."

"Why kill him?" The panicked Tao Zhenzong asked knowingly again.

"Don't be verbose, don't ask about things that shouldn't be taken care of!"

Tao Zhenzong saw that her face was as cold as ice, and he didn't seem to take the murder seriously, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to step forward timidly. Man dies like a tiger, and a tiger dies like a sheep. He trembled and groped for a while on the bloody Zhu Le, took out a bulging but dirty cloth bag in his bosom, handed it to Liu Xingmei's hand and said:

"I heard that this kid is quite rich, and he is usually reluctant to eat and drink, so he just saves it, just looking forward to marrying a daughter-in-law."

"Next life!"

Then Tao Zhenzong grabbed the ankles of Zhu Le's two little short legs, picked them up with a hand, and threw the dead body weighing more than 70 catties into the river.

At this time, Liu Xingmei opened the cloth bag, and inside was a stack of neatly stacked money tickets, a large number, among which there were two oceans and several coins. She flicked it in her hand, and the money fluttered like leaves into the river, and the coins were thrown into the river first, and then the money tickets drifted on the surface of the river with the crashing waves of the corpse, and gradually sank, and some of the money tickets floated far away.

This is the money that Jiao Heng once coveted for a long time and wanted to take it for himself, so he could only let the river god water demon spend it!

"You're ——?" Tao Zhenzong felt a pity.

"His money stinks too! A person who loves money so much should use money to bury him! ”

Liu Xingmei looked up at the big willow apricot next to her, which was said to have been struck by lightning many years ago, with sparse branches on one side, bare trees that had been split, and lush branches on the other side, and a large bird's nest on it, she knew that there were crows. With each of his shots, two crows flew away with a frightened croak.

It was on the night when she and Tao Zhenkun were bathing in this fairy river, and she heard that Zhenkun's grandmother was killed under this tree by lightning when she was carrying rain, and his sister-in-law was also struck by lightning and turned dumb.

Regarding this story that belongs to the ancestors of the Tao family, only this big willow tree proves that it has happened in the years.

Liu Xingmei hung the shotgun on the horse, she untied the reins and rode on the horse.

Tao Zhenzong watched in a daze.

"Don't tell anyone about this when you go back! Wait for me in the village! ”

Liu Xingmei hit the horse and left.

"Why are you going?"

Liu Xingmei did not answer.

The jujube red horse went up the magpie bridge along the river.

Tao Zhenzong was a little anxious when he saw this.

"You must not do anything stupid!"

Liu Xingmei still didn't answer.
