Chapter 194: The Past (2)
Li Fu hurriedly hugged his wife and sighed: "Rong'er, if it is really as you said, the dog thief prefect is really ill-intentioned, it is really a deception and a thief!" ”
The wife just looked at her husband gently, and after a long time, she said quietly: "Xianggong, everything else is not important, let's go home." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After this farce, it was already noon, Li Fu was going to buy some food, but the wife didn't let Li Fu leave him anymore no matter what, Li Fu couldn't, so he had to listen to his wife's words, let the innkeeper prepare a meal, and he and his wife had a few bites of it.
"Rong'er, how are you feeling today?" Seeing that his wife's expression was getting worse and worse, and her face was getting paler and paler, Li Fu couldn't help but ask worriedly.
She was already thin and unbearable, and she hurriedly raised her head when she heard the words, but the big eyes like autumn water seemed very empty at this time, Li Fu's heart was sour, so he couldn't bear to look at her, and lowered his head, but he didn't prevent that the tears had already flowed down, like a spring, as if he couldn't wipe it anymore.
"Xianggong, don't cry."
She didn't say anything more comforting, just rubbed his hand very gently.
"I don't know how much it will cost Lang Zhong of the prefect's family to see a doctor once?"
She muttered.
"Rong'er, you don't have to worry about this, let's just pay it back slowly." His wife is seriously ill like this, and she has to worry about paying off her debts.
At this time, they heard a commotion outside, and the two of them didn't know what was going on, and when they hurriedly looked up, they saw a group of officials coming over in a hurry.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, is there a guy named Li Fu here?" And the man who was at the head came with great might.
Li Fu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Who is this person?" I don't know what's the matter with coming to me? ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly greeted him, bowed, and then replied: "If you go back to the old man, wait for the little one to ask." ”
"You don't have to go, it's Li Fu below. I don't know what this official is doing when he is looking for a small one? Li Fu saw that the shopkeeper was about to go up, and he knew that he couldn't hide anyway, so he stood up.
When the man saw that Li Fu was in front of him, and he didn't hide from it, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Your Excellency?"
Li Fu shouted again.
"Uh...... Do you owe our lord money? This old man is a good man known to everyone, and he has always liked to solve difficulties and help the poor, and the same is true for you. It's just that, there is one thing you may not know, now something has happened in the eldest master's house, and he urgently needs silver, and the proof of this debt has been brought, and if there is money to pay it back, then there is nothing; If you can't do it, then you can't help it. ”
"Humph! Great good man! What a great good man! What do you want? ”
Li Fu couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Oh, this big brother, I see that you are not very old, and you are not small, do you have something to discuss, why are you like a black corn, I can't wait for you to eat me and I eat you! I don't have a grudge against you, the little one just does what he is told, don't blame, don't blame. ”
This person's sharp mouth made Li Fu speechless for a while, thinking about it, it seems that it is indeed true, people are just doing things according to orders, he is just a dog's leg, what is the need to be angry with him!
"And what does he want?"
"He? It's very simple, either pay back the money or ...... Sell your wife and daughter, and pay it back! ”
"You! Hum! ”
Li Fu took a step forward and was about to start beating the man. At this time, he heard a soft voice behind him: "My lord, the slave family has already agreed to the words of the old man who came in the morning, and is willing to serve the prefect, is this okay?" This voice is all too familiar to Li Fu.
It's Rong'er.
Li Fu hurriedly turned around, looked at Rong'er in disbelief, and stammered, "Rong'er, you...... What are you kidding? Tell me you're ...... In the ...... of joking Is it? ”
The wife didn't even look at Li Fu at all, but only looked at the servant, his eyes flowing, looking forward to the brilliance. With a smile, he said, "This lord, what about the proof of debt?" Since the slave family is willing to go with you, then the debt can be written off in one go, right? ”
"Rong'er, why are you so confused, they are obviously bullying people!" Li Fu didn't care about anything else, stepped forward, and shook his wife violently.
Seeing this, the official hurriedly approached Li Fu's side and pushed Li Fu to the ground. Just as he was about to add punches and kicks to him, he heard the woman say, "My lord, since you have serious business to do, you don't need to worry about him." What about vouchers? ”
As she spoke, the woman stretched out her hand.
The woman's eyes were fixed on the group of servants, lest they might suddenly do something.
The official was greatly surprised to see that this woman was so cheerful, which was completely different from what the old man said! It seems that he is still charming, and he has just come out, and he has succeeded all of a sudden! Look back at that old thing! The servant was thinking nonsense as he slowly pulled something out of his cuffs.
Finally, I finally got something out!
"Is that it?" The woman took the voucher from the servant with some disbelief, turned around and walked to Li Fu's side, and said softly, "Xianggong, have you ever written these things?" ”
Li Fu took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, why did he actually borrow his money on it! He hurriedly shook his head: "No, the husband has never written these things, this is definitely not written for the husband......"
It's just that the words on it are vigorous and chic, strong and powerful, and they are not written by themselves, so who will it be?
Li Fu suddenly remembered one thing in his mind, those Lang Zhong's prescriptions had been shown to him, and he had also let himself confirm them!
Snare!
This traitor!
Why did you fall into his trap so carelessly?
"But, Xianggong, how can I look at this handwriting that looks like Xianggong's handwriting?" The wife also seems to be a little unconvinced, but this fact is right in front of him, but he has to believe it.
"Rong'er, we seem to have ...... from the beginning Fall into their trap, but you can't go! For the first time, Li Fu felt that he was so powerless.
"Xianggong, for the sake of today's plan, apart from relying on them, what can we do? Don't forget, we still have Yan'er, even if you are not afraid of death, I am not greedy for life, but if we leave her like this, wouldn't it be in vain to be parents? Xianggong, you just listen to the advice of your wife, take good care of Yan'er, you must take good care of Yan'er! ”
Li Fu felt that there was a fire in his heart!
This parent official ...... What a good parent!
I don't know how many people he has harmed, and I don't know how many white bones he has stepped on behind the back of this great good man! Li Fu was speechless, so he had to look up to the sky and laugh!
The wife looked at her husband very unbearably, and then turned to the official and said, "Then if I go to take care of the prefect, will we not have to pay back the money we owe?" ”
"This is natural, everyone is a family, where do you need to pay back such a little bit of silver? That's too much of an outlook! ”
"That means this voucher can be torn up, right?"
The official didn't know what this woman was going to do, but thought: "The prefect seems to be very attentive to her, although they have only met once, but they have not forgotten it, these days, but they have been sending people to keep an eye on this small shop!" If this is because of her anomie in her speech and she has the intention of retreating, if this reaches the ears of the master, then will she want this little life or not? ”
Thinking like this, he hurriedly said: "This is natural, natural, everything is up to you." ”
"Okay then." She took the so-called certificate of debt from the officer, and without saying a word, she tore up the "stab" and "stab" ground!
Not to mention the servants, even Li Fu was surprised to see his wife do this!
"Rong'er, what are you doing here?"
Li Fu couldn't help asking.
"Xianggong, this thin piece of paper can cause our husband and wife to separate, do you want to keep it? I went to my wife today, and I hope you can take good care of Yan'er! ”
She looked at Li Fu's eyes full of attachment, as if she was parting from life and death, Li Fu was secretly sad, feeling that Rong'er had a strong temperament, how could she choose to give in? Suddenly, I heard a "tom" sound from there, and when I looked up, it was Rong'er who suddenly hit the stone tablet at the door, and in an instant, blood splattered out, staining the sky red!
Li Fu felt that the sky was dark for a moment! The legs seemed to be disobedient, and they trembled in front of Rong'er, but the hand seemed to be someone else's, not real, this must not be true! My own Rong'er, who said that I would accompany myself for a lifetime, has only been a few years now, and the rest of the long road is to go by myself? No, no, it won't be true! Why lie to yourself!
"Rong'er, Rong'er!" Li Fu hugged her desperately, the tears were like beads with broken threads, but they couldn't stop anymore.
"Xianggong, don't cry...... Ah, let's ...... Don't cry. Rong'er's lips moved, a hint of softness appeared on her face, and her hand slowly raised: "Xianggong, you want to ...... You and Yan'er both want to ...... Okay. Li Fu waited, waited, waited, but never waited for his wife's hand to touch his face......
"Hey, are you alright?"
When the servant saw that this woman was so ignorant, he really didn't know what to say. I saw that this Li Fu was like a wooden man, holding his wife in the same posture all the time, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Li Fu didn't seem to hear his voice. I don't know how long it took for him to gently put his wife down, as if he was afraid of alarming her.
"Murder pays for life, is it you who pays for it, is it your lord who pays for it?"
When this voice ran out of Li Fu's throat, Li Fu himself was startled, this was simply not his own voice!
When the official saw that he had died, he was already cowardly in his heart, and he was still holding on like all the guys who were so scheming, and said, "Then ...... This matter was originally caused by your lady, but now that she is gone, it's all over! ”
"No way!"
When Li Fu heard this, he couldn't help but burst into a rage: "You killed a human life for no reason, what else do you say, killing people is the principle of heaven!" In the following, I will sue the saints today and ask for an explanation! ”
"Daddy, Daddy!" Suddenly there was a call, which made Li Fu, who was going to work hard, have to sober up.
This is Yan'er!
Now that I only have this one relative, if I also follow Rong'er, who will take care of Yan'er in the future? She's a small person, and she's not even there, so will everyone bully her?
Thinking of this, Li Fu couldn't help but feel hatred!
What kind of world is this, bullshit parents, bullshit world!
"You...... Oops, this niece-in-law, what's wrong with the niece-in-law? ”
It was the neighbor Aunt Wu who said this.
Before Li Fu came out, he entrusted his daughter to Aunt Wu to take care of, and didn't let them come out, but, why is this Aunt Wu here?
"Auntie, Rong'er her, Rong'er she ......" Li Fu couldn't say any more.
Seeing this, Aunt Wu didn't understand what was going on, but the nephew and daughter-in-law always saw her death on the stone tablet, so she had to persuade: "Fu, you want to ...... Take care! This niece and daughter-in-law is a good woman! It's a pity! ”
When the official saw that someone was coming again, he hurriedly slipped away quietly with a group of people.
Only Yan'er's cry remained.
"Mother, mother, wake up, wake up!"
Yan'er shook Rong'er's hand, such a young child didn't know what was going on, but just kept crying.
"Childish and ignorant, how can I bear to leave her alone in this miserable world!" Li Fu couldn't help but sigh heavily.
He thought that the rest of his life would be like this, and slowly watched Yan'er grow up, hoping that she could meet a worthy person, take good care of her, and make her happy for a lifetime, as for himself, he didn't ask for anything.
Standing in front of his wife's monument, Li Fu had to think like this.
It's just that I didn't expect that the evil prefect didn't think of letting himself go like this.
About a month later, on a dark night with a strong wind, someone suddenly broke into the yard.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Li Fu opened his mouth and asked, as long as he can protect his daughter now, the rest doesn't matter.
"Who? Li Fu, do you still know this official? ”
As soon as he heard this voice, Li Fu's hatred seemed to be ignited, and he shouted angrily: "Dog thief, what are you doing here? ”
"What? Hum! The prefect shouted: "Call me!" ”
"You dog thief! You will be punished! ”
Li Fu lowered his voice and scolded.
"Hehe, retribution! Why don't you shout and curse? The old man thought, you hate the old man in your heart now, why don't you make a louder voice? ”
The prefect's evil laughter sounded in the room, and Li Fu couldn't help but shiver, he suddenly understood why this dog thief had passed the middle of the night.
Ah, Yan'er!
"What do you want?"
Li Fu's voice trembled uncontrollably.
The hypocritical face of the prefect could not be seen in the darkness, but Li Fu could feel his hypocrisy and cruelty. The prefect smiled in the dark, took a step forward, and then said calmly: "This mansion wants something, and it has never missed, never!" Actually, it's been a long time since I've seen anyone in this house, who knew that day I actually felt that your wife had a special eye, and my heart was full of joy at that time! When he said this, his voice paused slightly, as if the strings on the piano had frozen again, and he sighed leisurely, and then continued: "Alas, this could have been a blessing for your family, but it's a pity! ”
When Li Fu heard this, he didn't get angry but laughed, this is the parent official in a place, how can he, how can he be so shameless! What is the difference between this and beasts!
Suddenly, Li Fu stood firm, his eyes widened, and he spat fiercely into the darkness, and then laughed and said, "You are really a parent official!" ”
The prefect was not angry, he seemed to be very calm, but said unusually calmly in his usual kind voice: "I really don't understand, she is still your wife, and this will not change much, just occasionally take care of the old man's daily life, what's wrong with this?" There will be no change in your family's life, oh, if you have to say that there is a change, it will be getting better and better, the old man will not treat you badly, alas, I really can't figure it out, it's too puzzling! ”
Li Fu was reluctant to say anything to him at this time, feeling that it was useless to say anything, but he was thinking weakly: "I don't know if Yan'er is already in their hands?" ”
"My lord, I've found it."
With a report, I heard Yan'er's surprised cry: "Help, help!" ”
"Yan'er, Yan'er, don't be afraid."
Li Fu stumbled to his daughter's side, had to hug her tightly, and said incoherently: "Yan'er, Yan'er, daddy is here, daddy is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
"Daddy, they're bad people. Woo, I don't want bad people in our house, I don't want bad people in our house! In the darkness, Yan'er's voice sounded particularly bleak.
"Little girl, in the future, your home will not be here!"
The prefect said.
"What are you going to do?" Li Fu roared.
"The mansion that should be said has already been said just now, and now the mansion is so tired, and the mansion should also rest."
The prefect's voice slowly grew farther and farther away.
Li Fu was about to hug his daughter to death, but he only felt that many fists had smashed against him, but, strangely, he didn't feel pain, he just felt that his daughter's crying was heartbreaking......
Since his daughter was taken away, Li Fu felt that his world had really collapsed, until one day he remembered what Xiao Wu said: "Every Qingming Festival, the prefect goes to worship the ancestors alone." ”
After all, I can't go on like this.
That year's Qingming Festival was actually no different from previous years, the sadness and remembrance every year, the bleak wind and bitter rain every year, there was really no difference.
It's just that Li Fu feels a big, big difference. Because, he knew that his life had already collapsed, and he had nothing left.
He was ready.
Great filial son, what a great filial son!
The rain is flying around in the air, like a child who is not at home, isn't it because they are also like themselves, and their families are long gone?
Li Fu couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.
He lay down by the tombstone for a whole day and a night, just waiting for the wicked dog thief!
He waited in the rain for a day and a night, just to wash away the hatred in his heart!
It's a pity that the rain can't extinguish the anger in his heart!
All he had to do was wait, wait!
I don't know how long I waited, but the dog thief finally came!
Li Fu couldn't help but look around nervously, the traitor, carrying a basket in his hand, faltered, didn't he feel ashamed of his parents at this time?
Li Fu couldn't wait to beat him up to relieve the hatred in his heart!
Li Fu told himself to be patient, to be patient!
There are very few people in the cemetery anymore.
The dog thief walked to the tombstone, gently wiped the water on it, and slowly took out something from the basket, Li Fu, who was hiding behind the tombstone, smelled a fragrance, and when Li Fu peeked, there was wine, meat, and white steamed buns that had been put on the table......
I heard the dog thief kneel down with a "poof" and said, "Father and mother, my son has come to see you." He raised his head as he spoke, and continued: "Alas, since you left, my son has always felt lonely, and although he has a wife and children, he can no longer feel that kind of warmth. My son has been feeling tired and sleepless lately, and many things are already powerless, and my son thinks that he is not far from the day of his death, and if you want to come, your son can finally accompany you. Mother, from childhood to adulthood, you have taught your son to be a good person, but what did you end up with? Isn't it the same to be framed and wrongfully killed? My son really doesn't understand, I don't understand, you are willing to suffer anything for your son, but my son still feels that it is not enough, and my son also feels bitter......"
The man chattered endlessly, Li Fu didn't care about anything, he just wanted to give him a knife, let him return to the west with his life, and let himself avenge the murder of his wife and child!
"Dog thief, take your life!"
Li Fu jumped up from behind the tombstone, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and he had already slashed at the neck of the dog thief, and in an instant, the blood on the dog thief's body spurted out, staining the tombstone red!
"You...... You...... What a bold man, he dared to ......"
His voice slowly lowered......
Li Fu was furious and reprimanded: "As a parent official, you forced my wife to death, snatched my daughter, and lost your conscience!" What could I not dare to do with a heinous person like you? ”
"Good, good!" The dog thief squeezed these two words out of his throat, and there was no more sound, and in a short time he was dead!
Li Fu originally thought that he would finally be able to follow his wife happily after the revenge, but when he thought that he had not found his daughter, he suddenly felt that everything was uncertain.
No, I can't help but think about it!
He said this to himself before he went to sleep.
"You, you've slept for three days and three nights at once, and you're really about to reach the level of a god of sleep."
As soon as Li Fu opened his eyes, a tired-sounding voice reached his ears.
"Who are you?"
Li Fusheng was afraid that he would fall into the hands of those officials.
The man just smiled coldly and said, "Who am I?" It's very simple, the one who saved you! (To be continued.) )
