Chapter 13 The elder brother came to the door to tell the family

The next day, the faint light lit up mischievously, Chen Yifan got up as usual, the sky was misty, and he came to the courtyard with a beheader, sweating hotly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The blade is chic, wide open and closed, brave and unstoppable.

The decapitator slashes horizontally, vertically, and inverted, which seems to be a clumsy posture, but the knife kills people.

Each knife is extremely laborious, and the decapitator weighs more than 20 catties, and it takes effort to hold it, and it consumes physical strength when brushing it up.

In the past, chickens danced, and now there is sunlight shining on the buttocks.

The sound of shouts echoed in the courtyard, the mother got up to watch for a moment, ready to start busy, and entered the time of boiling medicine, the remaining smoke curled, and the white cooking smoke rose, drifting away with the wind.

The beautiful scene, practicing martial arts, wielding a knife, sweating, cooking smoke, early morning, and sunshine, constitute a warm picture.

Half an hour later, Chen Yifan called it a day, wrapped the decapitator, put it aside, and went to take a cold shower to wash away the fatigue of the day and the drowsiness of the morning.

"It's so cool!"

The cold water entered his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a stirring, Chen Yifan dried his hair, tied it up, and walked to the hall, where there was a bowl of hot porridge, a steamed bun, and a few dishes on the table.

Chen Yifan couldn't wait to choke up, the buns were not delicious, there was no meat smell, the side dishes were very light, there was almost no salty smell, and the white porridge was very thin, clear to the bottom.

But Chen Yifan didn't mind, he ate very fragrantly, very fragrant.

A breakfast time is the time that Chen Yifan enjoys the most, and it is also the best time of the day.

The plan of the day is in the morning.

The morning is the most comfortable time, Chen Yifan picked up the decapitator and hung it on his back, the heavy decapitator did not cause Chen Yifan a little trouble, and the pace was light and cheerful.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Chen Yifan began the tasks that had to be completed during the day, and went to the yamen to report.

Every person in the yamen has to report, and an executioner like Chen Yifan is no exception, after the report, there is no big matter, and there is no need for Chen Yifan, he can hang out at will.

Compared with other officers and soldiers, it is much easier, and of course, this salary is also much lower.

Executioner, this kind of work, not many people like to do it, the ancients were superstitious, respected ghosts and gods, killed too many people, will create evil, will find evil ghosts, and be unfortunate for half a life.

Therefore, although many people covet this salary, no one competes with Chen Yifan, and among the yamen, there were only three people who stayed as executioners, and they died one after another.

One died in half a month, and in less than two months, they were almost all dead, and Chen Yifan's father, who had been holding on for several years, was one of the exceptions.

After all kinds of deeds, Chen Yifan's prestige has long been known, why? Because everybody was watching him die.

But Chen Yifan just didn't die, there was nothing at all, in fact, they were too scared, the first few executioners, one died of disease, stroke, and then died in his own bed without help, as for whether he did that thing, no one knows, only that when the executioner died, it was still hard below.

The other died at the hands of a traitor, the murderer has been punished, and he was sentenced to death not long ago, becoming the soul of Chen Yifan's knife.

The last person, who died a little unjustly, walked among the ridges, fell with the wrong foot, and then died with a whimper, and the successive deaths of the three filled the yamen with all kinds of rumors.

This also led to Chen Yifan's leisurely stay in the yamen, and no one was looking for trouble with him, for fear of provoking him.

"Brother Chen, you're here to report again."

"Well, where are you going?"

The officers and soldiers replied with a smile: "Where else can I go, there is a case on the street, everyone rushes over, no more talking, we are leaving." ā€

"Then go slowly."

Watching Chen Yifan walk away, the officer and soldier said to the people behind him: "When you see him in the future, you have to take it easy, so as not to cause unnecessary disasters." ā€

"Yes, sir."

Chen Yifan didn't care about their words, if there was really a curse, he wouldn't be dead, he believed in science, believed in modernization, and couldn't be as ignorant as them.

Well, in fact, Chen Yifan really believes it a little, I'm afraid that it won't happen, but I feel it.

Why are they all dead, but they can't die themselves?

…………

"Mother, I heard that Mr. Zhang was going to recruit our family Yifan as his son-in-law, and promised to give us three hundred taels of silver and a piece of real estate, but is it true?"

Mother Chen glanced at him lightly, continued the work at hand, and said slowly: "Where did you hear about this, there is no such thing." ā€

"Mother, I know everything, don't you want to hide it from us, the child also heard about it, Yifan refused, didn't you?" Chen Yiping asked closely.

"Why are you doing, don't you see me boiling medicine? Way. ā€

How could Chen Yiping leave, a good opportunity can't just be given up, his eyes blinked, prompting his wife next to him, his wife got the instruction, and opened her mouth to dissuade her: "Mother, why is Yifan so stupid, that is Zhang Yuanwai, the richest person in Lingzhou City, if Yifan becomes his son-in-law, our Chen family will be prosperous." ā€

"You don't think about the two of us, you have to think about Yifan, Yifan is not young, it's time to get married, become the son-in-law of the Zhang family, not only do you not need us to pay, but you can also get a lot of things, a million things, mother, why don't you agree to come down?"

Chen Yiping saw his mother's eyes loosen, stepped forward and said: "Mother, think about what our family Yifan does, it is difficult to find a daughter-in-law, and there are few people in Lingzhou City who are willing to marry our family Yifan, now that you have such a good opportunity, why don't you agree to come down?" ā€

"Zhang Dayuan only has one daughter, but he won't treat Yifan badly, besides, people don't let our family join their family, but Yifan marries his daughter, why are you unhappy?"

"Such an opportunity, how could we have had it before, but now that it is, why don't you think about it for Yifan, mother?"

Knowing the reason, moving the emotion, the left sentence is for Yifan, the right sentence is for Yifan, in fact, he understands in his heart, Yifan has passed, this house is ours, and the silver sent over there is also, they can live in the big courtyard in Lingzhou City, and they feel happy when they think about it.

The two glanced at each other, unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts, they don't have to work so hard in the future, and their son can have a good place, live well, eat well, and are you afraid that there will be no future?

The idea of the two is very simple, in the name of Chen Yifan, they will move their mother, and then agree to come down in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, they will not obey Yifan.

"But ......."

"But what? Mother, think about it, Yifan has passed, can he get a better future, with the help of Zhang Dayuan, it is not difficult for Yifan to become an official. ā€

"We can't be so selfish and continue to drag Yifan down, Mother, you have to think twice."

The brotherhood was deep, crying bitterly, Chen Yiping was almost about to kneel down, Chen's mother listened to it, it seemed to make sense, after thinking about it, she remembered her son's words yesterday, Chen's mother's face was gloomy.

"Needless to say, I won't agree, if you like it, go over by yourself."

"Mother, mother......."

Chen's mother shook off the hands of the two and took the medicine in to give it to Chen's father, Chen Yiping saw that his mother was not fooled, tilted his head and glanced at his wife, and asked, "What should I do?" ā€

The wife spread out her hands and said helplessly: "Mother's side can't get through, and it's even more impossible on my father's side." ā€

"Then it's better for the two of us to agree to Zhang Yuanwai, and then ......."

"Nope." The wife directly refused: "If Yifan knew, he would kill us." ā€

Thinking of Chen Yifan's murderous eyes, she softened, and everyone else was easy to say, but her little uncle was really terrible.

Chen Yiping thought about it and felt that it was also his younger brother who could say anything, but no one could change the things he decided, thinking that he had done the job at the beginning, and he made a strong decision, and even his father couldn't make him change.

Now this matter may be so decided.

But thinking of the three hundred taels of silver and a real estate, Chen Yiping was itching.

"Aren't we here for nothing?"

His wife gave him a blank look and said, "Otherwise, do you dare to offend your brother?" ā€

Chen Yiping shook his head like a rattle and said deflatedly: "Then forget it." ā€

The two are gone.

In the room, Father Chen drank the medicinal soup and asked weakly, "You didn't promise the two of them, did you?" ā€

Mother Chen shook her head: "No, am I that stupid?" One flat and two husbands and wives knew at a glance that they were not well-intentioned, wasn't it just for the three hundred taels of silver and a house? Do you really think I'm old and confused? Can't see what they're thinking? ā€

Hearing Chen's mother's words, Chen's father calmed down and said, "In the future, everything will be up to him, we are all old, we hurt him once, and we can't hurt him a second time." ā€

"Hmm." Chen's mother quieted down, tears dripping down.

Choked and sad, fed the decoction, Chen's father was not happy to drink, pursed his lips twice, and gave up.

Mother Chen obediently wiped the corners of his mouth, and tears still couldn't help but flow down.

"You, you, don't cry, won't you see it when Yifan comes back later?"

Chen's mother wiped away her tears, but the tears still dripped uncontrollably, one after another, and the drizzle fell slightly, silent for a long time.

The silent stone, still not speaking, waited quietly.

"I may leave you in a few days, when the time comes, you can't find a short-term view, you have to live well, my life is not good, I can't give you a happy life, it's that I can't live with you." Chen's father stroked his wife's face, which already had a lot of wrinkles, and his heart hurt even more.

"I'm fine."

"I'm sorry for you, and I'm even more sorry for Yifan, if I could ......." When the words came to his lips, Father Chen couldn't choke out.

Buried his head in the quilt and never came out again.

Chen's mother waited for a long time and didn't see him come out, Xin Xin wiped away her tears, went out with a bowl, and closed the door.

Father Chen poked his head out of the quilt and looked outside, his eyes deep in thought.
