Chapter 12: The Death of My Father, The Tears of the Lord

The pillar finally opened his eyes, only to find himself lying on a bed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He heard Lu's mother shouting, "Wake up, wake up." ”

He saw the old man. The old man was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him kindly, his hand gently caressing his forehead, but there were tears in his eyes.

A warm current suddenly welled up in his heart, and tears spurted out like a spring. He struggled to get up and knelt on the bed and shouted, "Master, I'm not a human, I'm a beast, you beat me to death......"

The old man stretched out a hand and motioned him to lie down, and his voice was choked: "I know, you baby, it doesn't matter if you do something wrong." You have a good rest......"

The old man turned and walked out of the room.

The pillar didn't know why the old man was so kind to him. What a sin it is for him to peek at the young lady taking a bath and cause the young lady to hang from the beam! Why would the lord forgive so easily? He couldn't help but get confused.

He thought of Miss again, and wondered how Miss was doing now? Why does the old man have tears in his eyes? No, he didn't dare to think ......about it, he didn't dare to think about it.

But then he saw the second master, the young master, and the young lady enter the room. He climbed out of bed in panic and fell to his knees. The second master strode forward, helped him up and said, "The injury is not healed yet, rest well." As he struggled to get up, he pulled open the wound on his shoulder, and blood oozed out again.

The second master actually cleaned his wound and applied white medicine to him. Even Young Master Ma rushed to help. Zhuzi heard the young master say, I'm sorry, don't hold grudges, I will treat you well in the future. Ma Yunyao kept her head down and played with the corners of her clothes without speaking, but when she left the room, she still raised her head and smiled apologetically at the pillar.

The pillar did not understand why it had become like this. He thought again, Master Ma has come back, why didn't he see his father? Thinking of his father, the pillar became worried again.

Ma Lao Ma Shouxin returned to Majiazhai four days ago. The moment he walked into the door, Ma Yunming saw a black aura on his face, like grief and sadness. He sat down and didn't even take a sip of tea, when he cried out to see the pillar.

Ma Shouyi thought that Ma Shouxin had heard something, so he hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Brother, that little beast is still locked in the firewood room, and I still have a breath, I am about to go to the sinking pond." ”

The second master reported the incident to Ma Shouxin.

Ma Yunming was shocked to see his father's hands trembling, and he pushed away his second uncle and went straight to the firewood room.

Two months ago, Ma Shouxin took Cha Boxue to Yunnan to handle goods, and things had been going smoothly, not only did he get the goods he needed, but also recovered more than 2,000 silver dollars in foreign debts. But on the way back, he encountered robbers in a valley, and the people who fought against the open fire turned out to be a group of Dian soldiers wearing military uniforms.

Ma Shouxin is a well-informed person, he wanted to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, so he hoped that the other party would make a price. Unexpectedly, the officer of the Dian army replied with a cruel smile: Have you ever seen the official army robbing money and discussing the amount with you, do you still want to stay alive?

When the gun rang out, Ma Shouxin hid under the carriage. Some of the guys lay in pools of blood, and many more hid under the car like him. He saw Cha Boxue brandishing a big knife and rushing towards the commander of the Dian army, and there were bullets hitting him, and the Dian army fell in front of him, and blood flew like defeat. Cha Boxue finally grabbed the official and used his last strength to hold him hostage to himself. Under the "protection" of the officials, they walked out of the valley and onto the main road.

Before he died, Cha Boxue handed him a bloody purse, and clutched his clothes tightly and said, "Master, I beg you, take care of my son...... His hands were so tight, and his eyes were full of pleading. It wasn't until he saw Ma Shouxin crying and nodding that his hand gradually let go.

Ma Shouxin threw down Chab. In that case, he couldn't do anything.

In a nearby township called Lishui, they were taken in and protected by the vigilante group. The militia took into custody the officials of the Dian army, called them "bandit leaders," and vowed to give them justice. Ma Shouxin wanted to retrieve Cha Boxue's body, but the militia stopped him because the area was chaotic and there were many bandits.

Justice did not come, and after being imprisoned for two days, the bandit leader swaggered out of the township office and took the knife that Cha Boxue had learned, which was supposed to be presented in court. The people in the township office said to him: The uncle of the bandit leader is a division commander of the Yunnan army, and he is fierce. The strangers should be careful of the losses and persuade them to leave quickly.

So, they fled from Lishui in a hurry with their goods. Ma Shouxin felt sorry for Cha Boxue, he saved himself, but he threw down his corpse. He secretly told himself: You must not live up to Cha Bo Xue, you must treat his son as your own, send him to study and go to school, raise him as an adult, and let him shine on the lintel for the Cha family, so as to be worthy of Cha Boxue's spirit in the sky.

He pushed open the wooden door and saw the pillar lying on the wooden board covered with gauze, looking like it was breathing in but not out, and his tears fell. Suddenly, he saw Cha Boxue's hand gripping the hem of his shirt tightly, and his eyes full of pleading and hope.

Cha Boxue shed blood and tears for the Ma family outside, lost his life, and threw his body in another country. The Ma family beat his only son to the point of being left at home. Thinking of this, Ma Shouxin became angry, but he had no one to complain, so he could only beat his chest and feel sad secretly. He solemnly told his family in a commanding tone: "Whatever the pillar has done, it has passed, and no one is allowed to mention it again." From now on, the pillar will be my own son of Ma Shouxin. ”

After waiting for days in anticipation and panic for his father, on the morning of this day, Zhu Zi finally heard about his father's fate from Lu's mother. He didn't cry, he didn't even shed a tear, he looked at Mama Lu numbly, but the image gradually became blurred, and a voice crawled out from the bottom of his heart: "You killed your own father." ”

Pillar thought, "I have betrayed my father again. When his father was at home, he always confronted him with silence. In his father's absence, he betrayed his father with his actions. His father didn't let him go to school, and he did; The father said that arrogance should not be indulged, and he arrogantly followed others to see the woman's thighs; The father said that people should know the kindness, and he leaned on the roof and peeked at the young lady taking a bath...... He should have died, but his father saved him with his own death......"

Thinking about it like this, the pillar hated himself.

Lu's mother said: "The master said, in a few days, I will show the ancestors and ancestors in the ancestral hall, officially accept you as a righteous son, provide you with food and clothing, and let you go to school with the young master and young lady......"
