The torch was held by Zhang Meng's men, shining on the man in red on the ground, and someone went over to help him up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The man in red looked at Zhang Meng tremblingly, and didn't say a word, probably frightened.

At this moment, Jiang Hexing, Li Bin, and Zhou Ren rushed over. Jiang Hexing looked at the scene, the person who was the leader had been tied up by five flowers, and his half-cut ring head knife was also thrown in front of him.

Jiang Hexing glanced at him and said, "Where did you get this knife?" ”

The big man knelt on the road, raised his head, and glanced at the river. He was not afraid, but said, "Are you from the court?" Are you going to get me back? ”

Jiang Hexing snorted, didn't say yes, and didn't say no.

Zhang Meng said: "Don't talk nonsense, be honest, you can live, otherwise, you yourself know what the consequences are." ”

The man lowered his head and said slowly: "This knife is mine, some time ago, the imperial court asked me to fight the Huns and mobilize the soldiers of the counties of the world." I happened to be a soldier in Dongjun before, and I escaped while the movement was chaotic. When I returned home, my home was flooded, and I had no food or clothing.

You have to fill your stomach, I just saw that a lot of people didn't eat, so I gathered some people and did these things. I really can't help it. ”

Jiang Hexing sneered and said, "There's no way to kill people everywhere, others didn't provoke you." ”

The man looked up and wanted to say something, but Zhang Meng scolded, lazily listened to his explanation, and sent a special operations division to escort their group of bandits to the side of the road.

After these people were taken to the side, the man in red came over and asked, "Sir, look at us......"

The man in red didn't know what Jiang Hexing and the others were doing, probably still scared, and wanted to ask but didn't dare.

Before Jiang Hexing could speak, Zhou Ren stepped forward and looked the man in red up and down, and the man in red also noticed Zhou Ren.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and Zhou Ren spoke: "Big brother, is it you?" ”

The man in red stepped forward and said, "Zhou Ren, is it you?" Where have you been all these years? ”

Zhou Ren snorted and said, "Big brother, I'm not here, are you sad?" ”

Zhou Zhi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, three years ago, your whereabouts were unknown, and your sister-in-law and I were looking for you everywhere." But I can't find you, where have you been all these years? Your sister-in-law and I miss you so much. ”

When Zhou Zhi said this, he cried, and the young woman in the car, as if she had also found a clue, jumped out of the car, pulled the two children, and came straight to Zhou Ren.

The young woman said, "Brother, we miss you for three years." ”

Zhou Ren looked at Zhou Zhi and looked at his sister-in-law, under the light of the fire, he didn't see the excitement of his relatives on his face, he just looked at it coldly, but when his eyes swept over the two nephews, his complexion softened slightly.

Jiang Hexing and the others didn't know why Zhou Ren treated his compatriots like this, and he didn't show the slightest enthusiasm, and everyone just watched from a distance, and they didn't go up to mix more.

After a while, Zhou Ren said: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm not here, I have to do a lot of work by myself, right?" Without me, a slave who doesn't want money, I'm afraid I'll really miss it, right? The family property is yours now, and you don't have to worry about someone fighting for the family property for you, you have gains and losses. ”

Zhou Zhi lowered his head and looked at Zhou Ren, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

The young woman's mouth was sharp, and she hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you talking about?" Half of your property has always been yours, no, it's all in these three cars, if you want, I'll give you an equal share now, what do you think? ”

Zhou Ren snorted and said coldly, "Do you think what I want is family property?" Although our family is rich, I don't care. What I care about is why you abused me like that when I was a child, making me almost like a cow and a horse. ”

Zhou Ren said, his words choked, almost unable to speak.

Jiang Hexing and others realized that the relationship between the two brothers was very poor, probably because Zhou Ren had been an orphan since he was a child, but his brother and sister-in-law treated him badly. On the one hand, the elder brother manages the family's money and lives a good life, on the other hand, this poor younger brother has to help his brother do things like cattle and horses, and he doesn't have to think about the family property.

In just a few words, everyone knows that Zhou Ren had a very bad life when he was a child, although his ancestors had some ancestral property, but he didn't have a penny of his own.

Everyone's attitude towards Zhou Zhi and his wife immediately changed, not the poor man just now, but the wicked man who treated his younger brother like a slave.

Zhang Meng ordered his subordinates to escort the group of bandits and began to retreat.

Jiang Hexing and Li Bin didn't leave, watching how Zhou Ren handled the matter with his brother and sister-in-law.

Half of the torches were left here, a few were inserted into the ground, and a few were inserted into Zhou Zhi's three carts.

Jiang Hexing and Li Bin saw that the first car was empty, but the two cars behind were very full, with food bags and clothes wrapped, and even this car was much harder than ordinary people's.

The two leaned on the car, seeing that their brother was still saying something, if it was not good for Zhou Ren, they would go up to help.

Zhou Ren continued: "Brother, sister-in-law, I met Li Kang today, and he said that you are behind, therefore, I want to see you, and some things still have to be explained thoroughly." ”

Zhou Zhi stepped forward, took Zhou Ren's hand, patted Zhou Ren's shoulder and said, "Brother, what's wrong today?" Do our brothers still have to speak so politely and so rawly? ”

"Huh, so raw? Big brother, you should pat your conscience and think for yourself, when I was at home, did you treat me as a brother? Zhou Ren pushed away his eldest brother's hands, took two steps back, pointed at Zhou Zhi and said: "When my parents were there, what kind of life did I live, I had a car to sit on and a horse to ride?" After the second elder was gone, did I still ride a car or a horse?

You enjoy happiness at home, let me, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, go abroad to do business, go to Qilu in the east, and go to Jiujiang in the south. Doing business is hard, and it is difficult to travel, and a child of twelve or thirteen years old has to bear it. In those two years, how dare I come back before the moon day?

When he returned home, he was still not as good as a slave. Eat, it's good to have some leftovers, have you ever eaten enough one day? Wear, there is no mattress in winter, only a few more dirty pieces of linen. In summer, there is no single clothes to wear. All year round, when to wear good shoes.

As soon as the morning dawned, I had to go to the river to fetch water. A few miles away, carrying two buckets of water, the sprinkled water froze, I walked barefoot on the ice, how many times I fell my nose and face were swollen.

Any winter is fatal to me, my hands are red and swollen from the cold, there are countless tears, and the flesh and blood in the tears are blurred. My feet are the same, I don't feel cold, and when the weather gets warmer, I feel like I've been pricked by countless needles when I walk on the road.

Not only at home, but also in the fields. Planting wheat and beans, raising silkworms and mulberry, planting melons and vegetables, I don't want to do anything. In June, I have to go to the field alone to collect melons, the melon cart is full, how can a child pull well, not to the left, but to the right.

If you are not careful, the melon cart will overturn, and no one will help you on the road. See that you are a child, in front of me, take the melon and run. I can't chase it yet, and when I chase it, the whole car will be gone.

When I returned home, my brother scolded and my sister-in-law scolded.

At that time, I thought every day that if someone told my heavenly parents when they would take me away and never be with my brother and sister-in-law again. ”

After speaking, Zhou Ren sat on the road, remembering all the past events, he could no longer control himself, and sobbed in a low voice.

Zhou Zhi was speechless for a while, looked at Zhou Ren who was sitting on the ground, and lowered his head.

The river was still flowing, and from time to time there were a few bird chirpings in the sky, and in the distant fields, the sound of insects was also ringing a few times from time to time. Zhou Ren's sobs were high and low, coming and going.

The torches on the car flickered back and forth under the breeze, and under the light of the fire, Zhou Ren's sister-in-law took a few steps forward and came to Zhou Ren and said: "Brother, my brother and sister-in-law used to be sorry for you, but after all, you are the same mother." You see, now, our house has been flooded, and we have to wander around, and to be honest, we don't have a plan to go there.

You see, even if you hate your brother and sister-in-law, there are still your two nephews here, you won't even recognize your two nephews, right? ”

As she spoke, Zhou Ren's sister-in-law pulled two children at once. The two children slowly walked up to Zhou Ren and said respectfully: "Second uncle, we are polite." ”

Zhou Ren raised his head, looked at the two little nephews, stopped crying, stood up, pulled the two children over, took them in his arms, turned his head and said to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, since you said so. I'm not going to watch you alone, I'll take you somewhere. First, it can keep your family property, second, ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and third, let your children grow up well. ”

Zhou Ren's sister-in-law knelt down and muttered: "Brother, you are still our own brother, and you still know who is the real relative in times of crisis." ”

Zhou Ren stepped back and said to his brother: "Brother, I still have something to say, you help your sister-in-law up first." ”

His brother didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly helped his wife up, and the two of them bent over together, looking at his younger brother respectfully.

Zhou Ren said: "Brother, sister-in-law, wait a minute, I will ask someone to escort you, leave now, no one can say when this big water will come." I'll let you go somewhere, you don't have to ask, just let me arrange it. When you arrive at the place, you will live yours, and I will live mine.

One day, the water in our hometown recedes and the Yellow River re-enters the river, so you can come back if you want. ”

Zhou Zhidao: "What about you, do we live together?" ”

Zhou Ren shook his head and said, "I won't be with you, but I will go to see my nephew, and I won't leave them alone." ”

Zhou Zhidao: "Why are you doing this? ”

As soon as Zhou Zhigang finished speaking, his wife pulled the corner of his clothes. Zhou Zhidao: "Okay, anyway, we don't have anywhere to go now, so let's listen to your arrangement." ”

Zhou Ren nodded, arranged for them to rest here first, and then turned around to find Jiang Hexing and Li Bin to go back together, and then sent two soldiers of the special operations division to escort them towards Juyeze. (To be continued.) )
