(The third update is delivered, and it is still the second-to-last in the overall list, and the situation is precarious!) Ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections! ）

－

The father and son rushed to the dock to inquire, the last boat had just left today, and if they wanted to take the boat back to Qingshen, they had to wait until early tomorrow morning.

Chen Xiliang took out all the money on his body, hoping to charter a fast boat back to Qingshen, but he didn't know if the money he gave was not enough, or the night boat was really dangerous, in short, no boatman was willing to take this job.

"Daddy, what should I do?" Chen Chen asked anxiously.

"......" Chen Xiliang looked at the green mountains in the distance, and made up his mind and said: "Erlang, you will stay on the boat for one night, and take the earliest boat back tomorrow." ”

"What about you?" At this time, there is no 'you', even between father and son, it is called 'you, me'.

Chen Xiliang's eyes were as firm as ice and said, "I'll go back!" ”

"Daddy, there are jackals on the mountain at night." Chen Chen said worriedly: "It's better to wait until tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, I have this!" Chen Xiliang took out a whistle stick from the bottom of the bookcase and said, "I killed a wolf." ”

"Then I'll go with you."

"No, you're walking too slowly." Chen Xiliang said: "I have to rush back immediately!" Can't take care of you! After speaking, he took off the bookcase, put it into his son's arms, and said, "I have to close the door and leave the city, you can find something to eat by yourself at night." After saying that, he walked away like a gust of wind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, the red sun rose, and Chen Xiliang's thin figure really appeared outside Shiwan Village. From the beginning of yesterday's unitary hour, to the present five hours, he has walked a full eighty miles of mountain road, the original neat green silk straight, the upper body has been scratched seven or eight places, and the entire hem has become a wisp of tassels. Foot sandals...... That is, clogs...... The inner socks have turned gray.

But his spirits were still strong, and he washed off his face by the lake, but instead of going home first, he walked to his charcoal burning field.

In the charcoal field, the hired workers have just gotten up, and there is no big rooster crowing early in the past two days, and there is no old witch making noise, so they are naturally happy to be lazy. At this time, he was lazily eating and talking. The topic is naturally inseparable, the human tragedy the day before yesterday.

Some said: "Seeing that the 'mother worm' is so badly injured, with her temper that does not suffer, she must be going to report to the official, and now the Chen family is lively." "The Chinese love nicknames, which have been passed down from the Song Dynasty.

"Reporter? It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, is she very glorious? The man who was called Uncle Lu by Heigoro said indignantly: "Forcing the children to be like that, is there such an aunt in the world?" ”

"Hey, it's a pity that Saburo is that kid, how well-behaved and sensible. Isn't it forced to do such a thing? ”

"This kid is bloody," Liu Monkey said with deep appreciation: "Seeing that the two younger brothers are falling to the ground, I don't know if he lives or dies, it's strange that he is not crazy." As he spoke, he looked at the crowd: "If the mother worm really sues him, I will go and say a few fair words." ”

"Go together, go together." Uncle Lu responded: "The evil mother-in-law of the mother worm is going to be cured severely!" ”

Everyone was talking lively, and suddenly someone saw Chen Xiliang coming in, quickly stopped talking, stood up and greeted, "Second Brother Chen is here." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xiliang is polite." Chen Xiliang hugged his fists at everyone and said, "You must have guessed the intention of coming down." After a pause, he looked around at the crowd and said, "I heard that incident happened here." I just want to know, what the hell happened that day...... You don't have to cover it up for my Saburo, I just want to know the truth! ”

His eyes that are usually introverted and restrained, but at this moment, their gaze is like an arrow, piercing everyone's hearts, making them feel that any lie will be seen through by him, not only secretly shouting: 'Is this still the honest and deceitful Chen Lao Er in the past?' ’

The gentleman is restrained and introverted, does not deceive or abuse, but is regarded as bullying by mediocre people, is this the so-called 'gentleman can be bullied'?

It was also the Hou family who offended people on weekdays, and the hired workers did not hesitate, so they took Chen Xiliang to the shack where they watched.

"When I saw it, your sister-in-law had already fallen to the ground and was kicked by your Saburo." Everyone told Chen Xiliang in a gossiping voice: "We shouted to stop, but he jumped up, pressed one knee on your sister-in-law, and knocked her unconscious directly......

"San Lang, why is he ...... Assailant? Chen Xiliang said with a gloomy face.

"Maybe it's for Gorou and Rokuro," the crowd said, "When we arrived, we saw Gorou and Rokuro fainting to the ground, and then they pinched people and sprayed cold water to wake up the two children." ”

"Why are they here?" Chen Xiliang asked.

"Because, that's where they live." Lao Lu pointed to the shack and said: "I have been living for more than forty days, and the day before the accident, I came to see them, and I really lived there...... It's pathetic. ”

"What?" Chen Xiliang walked quickly to the shack in disbelief, pushed open the door and saw that although it was broad daylight, it was dark and damp inside, except for a bamboo board bed and a few broken dishes and chopsticks, there was nothing.

Seeing a small children's shoe on the ground, Chen Xiliang bent down to pick it up, looked at it carefully, and found that this was exactly what he bought for Xiao Liulang from Wang Qiaopo shoe store in Qingshen County during the Chinese New Year.

The reason why he has to take a closer look is not because he has a bad memory, but because this well-made and brightly colored tiger head shoe has been torn everywhere, and the soles are about to fall off, and the color has long been invisible...... The tears he had been holding back finally fell.

Chen Xiliang clutched the little shoe tightly, and his voice was cold: "How can they live here, why don't they live at home?!" ”

"We asked your sister-in-law, and she said that the three children made mistakes, punish them."

"What kind of mistake is punishable by forty days?" The anger in Chen Xiliang's chest was surging, and he had to work hard to control it, and he wanted to burn the urge here.

"We don't know this, anyway, from that day on, Saburo and Goro have to fetch water every day, and they must have enough for the kiln to eat, and they eat the same as us, either rice bran cakes or bran nests. In this way, there is often no food to eat. ”

"Yes, two days before the incident, San Lang accidentally fell into the water while drawing water, and he was sick the next day, so your sister-in-law didn't give them food. Early that morning, your sister-in-law yelled that the chicken was lost, and then found here, but we didn't come with us. Later, she screamed and came over, and saw the scene she had mentioned at the beginning. Everyone paused and said, "However, there is indeed a chicken leg on the ground, it shouldn't be your sister-in-law who planted it......"

Chen Xiliang listened to what everyone said with a cold expression, and was silent for a long time, Fang took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, what Fang just said, is it true?" ”

"Of course it's true, I'm waiting for so many people," everyone nodded, "How can we make up nonsense together?" ”

"So, can you make a note and ask your eldest brother to sign it?"

"No problem." Everyone said without hesitation. In the eyes of the Song people, it is a matter of course to be responsible for what has been said.

So they came to the account room, where there was a ready-made pen and ink. Chen Xiliang is very strong in memorization, and he quickly wrote a multi-page transcript. After writing, there were people who knew how to write, so they took it over and read it, but fortunately, Chen Xiliang retold it in spoken language, without any complicated words, and could still understand it.

After reading it, the man nodded, and first picked up the pen to sign and draw...... The so-called painting charge, also known as flower charge, is based on personal habits and creativity, using a symbol or picture as a basis to show credit. Because only the person himself knows what it is based on, it is difficult for others to falsify it. Therefore, it also has the function of showing trust to people as well as the seal.

After everyone signed, Chen Xiliang gently dried the ink on the paper, carefully put it in his arms, and then got up and hugged his fists at everyone and said, "Thank you." With that, he turned around and strode away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the charcoal burning field, Chen Xiliang's steps froze, looking at the familiar pink walls and tiles in the distance, his heart was very heavy, and he couldn't wait to lie on the lake and cry.

But he was extremely resolute, took out the broken tiger head shoe from his bosom and looked at it, and strode towards the courtyard that could no longer be familiar.

On the road, neighbors met and looked at him sympathetically. Chen Xiliang didn't squint and went straight to the door of his house.

The door of the house was closed, and he slammed the knocker.

"Who?" The voice of the maid and the green flower was heard.

"Me!" Chen Xiliang said in a deep voice.

"It's the second brother who is back." Cuihua hurriedly ran back to report.

"So fast?" The two males and mothers looked at each other and were surprised.

"What should come will come." Chen Xishi said: "Let him come in." ”

The door, which had been closed for several days, finally opened, and Chen Xiliang saw his two nephews, who were also students he had taught for many years, Chen Yu and Chen Yu waiting in the courtyard. What kind of people teach what kind of students, Chen Yu and Chen Yu are not at all like his eldest brother's species, but they are the same kind of people as him.

The two brothers were waiting here to talk to him, but Chen Xiliang had already asked about the case, so he naturally didn't want to say more, nodded at the two, and said one sentence: "Where is my son?" ”

"Second uncle, in the backyard firewood room." Chen Yu replied respectfully.

Chen Xiliang walked straight to the backyard, he had to see it first, so that his son's condition could be assured.

In addition to the Chen family in the house, there are only two maids and old mothers, seeing that he is carrying a whistle stick in his hand, how dare he step forward to stop him.

Entering the back house, in front of the locked firewood room, Chen Xiliang rounded the whistle stick, and suddenly, the copper lock on the door fell in response.

Chen Xishi, who called his two nephews and peeked out of the main house, was shocked, they had never seen his violent side.

Chen Xiliang pushed open the firewood room, and saw his three sons, curled up there in ragged clothes, yellow and thin, and panicked, and tears came down.

In fact, San Lang was sleeping with his two younger brothers in his arms, and the three brothers were just startled by Chen Xiliang.

"Daddy......" saw the person clearly, Korokuro and Kurogoro wailed and threw themselves into each other's arms, which made Saburo so embarrassed.
