"It's dry, watch out for the candles." The husband in Mincheng has been working all his life, knowing that some should be seen and some should not be seen, and at the corner of the face, a black shadow flashed into a house from the wall, whether it is a rice thief or something else, it is safest not to see at this time. The husband paused for a moment and shouted again, "It's dry, be careful of the candle." Then he turned and walked away.

Besides, the black shadow climbed into the wall and went directly into the inner room of the main hall, pushed the door and entered, which made the people on the bed tremble and shout, "Who? ”

"Passers-by." Pretending to be an old voice, there is a very fake, let everyone who listens to it know that this is a teenager, but the owner of the rice shop on the bed was frightened, and said tremblingly, "There is no silver today, the king will come again another day." ”

The young man suddenly became interested and said, "I'll just say, it turns out that you still have this relationship, but it's none of my business, I didn't come to ask you for that little money, I asked you to say something for me." ”

"What... Speech. The owner of the rice shop finally quieted down, but his voice was still a little shaky.

The young man said with a smile, "You will tell Wang Siming, who came to you, tomorrow that the death of his father and mother was related to the Ma family, and the fall into the water was also deliberately harmed by the Ma family, so don't say anything else, he asked you how you know, and you said that it was Zeng Sheng who told you after drinking, so that you have been hiding it." ”

"Who is Wang Siming?" Maybe it's because he's old, and the owner of the rice shop can't even think of this person for a while.

"Your Qiao'er."

Hearing Brother Qiao'er, the owner of the rice shop panicked and said, "Who are you, why are you here to harm him." ”

The young man shook the short knife in his hand, walked up to the rice shop owner step by step, and said with a smile, "I'm hurting him, I'm helping him." But if you don't say it, it will harm you, and the child in the east room, it's so pitiful, it's not even ten years old, and you won't be able to wake up again. ”

"I... Can I persuade him not to seek revenge on that so-called Ma family? The rice shop owner's heart was compromised in the end.

The young man stepped on the bed with one foot, stared at the rice shop owner and said, "Let him know the truth, it is best for him, and he will think of your good in the future, even if you die one day." ”

"Okay, okay, okay, I promise you to tell him the truth, it's okay with my old life, but you don't touch my son."

The young man took the short knife, turned and left, leaving a sentence, "You'd better not try to deceive me." ”

After seeing that the people were gone, the owner of the rice shop hurriedly got up, crawled into the room in the east chamber, pushed open the door, and touched the bed again, it was still warm, and finally put his mind at ease.

The warm object moved, got up, rubbed his eyes, looked at the rice shop owner, and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

The owner of the rice shop pushed him back to lie down, covered him with the quilt again, and said softly, "It's okay, I'm afraid you kick the quilt, come and see you." ”

"Uncle, go to sleep too, I won't kick the quilt." The children at night are still obedient in the end.

The owner of the rice shop turned around and walked away tremblingly, and when he was about to reach the door, he said, "Kun'er, tomorrow I will send you back to the countryside to live for a while, and after a while, I will pick you up." ”

The child became uneasy, got up and ran over, hugged the body of the rice shop owner, and said, "Uncle, is it because Kun'er is disobedient during the day today?" Don't send me away, okay, I won't dare next time. "Usually, every time he used this trick, the owner of the rice shop would forgive everything.

But this time it was different, the owner of the rice shop squatted down and said to the child, "Uncle is not angry, you go back for two days first, and when the matter here is dealt with, I will go back to you, and when you come back, I will take you to see the puppet show." ”

The child was a little shaken, but still refused to go back, and the owner of the rice shop could only continue to coax, and finally reluctantly agreed to go back.

When he saw that the children were willing to go back, the owner of the rice shop said, "Tomorrow I will put some silver in your purse, and when you arrive, you will hide them so that no one can see them, and when I go back, we will take them out again." ”

The child nodded.

The next day, as soon as the owner of the rice shop sent the child away, he saw Brother Qiao and another Liang Gongzi coming, so he hurriedly put away his sadness and went out, saying, "Brother Qiao, there is something else to say." ”

Siming was a little worried, he didn't know how to say anything about yesterday's rice, he spit out several times, but he didn't say it, and finally only said, "I'll come to see you." ”

The owner of the rice shop didn't dare to look at Siming's eyes, he only covered his eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a crying voice, "You can come to see me, I'm very happy, do you know where your Aunt Zhou's grave is?" ”

Siming shook his head and said, "I don't know, I also want to put incense on her, is it convenient for Uncle Zhou?" ”

After hearing this, the owner of the rice shop got up and went to the back room to get a cane, and said to Siming, "Let's go, I'll take you there, she will be happy if she knows that you are back." ”

Siming and the two followed the rice shop owner out of the city, and then walked to the field in the southeast, and the past scenes appeared in Siming's memory again, and he was really tired recently.

After passing the field, and walking for a while, there was a low cemetery halfway up the mountain, and the monument on it was still blank. The owner of the rice shop pointed to the empty monument and said, "When I die, I will be buried here with my wife, and there will be words on it, and when you come, come and see me." ”

Siming didn't answer, today's Uncle Zhou is even lower than yesterday's Uncle Zhou, and he mentions life and death at every turn, is it really what Grandma Zeng said, he has dealings with people on the mountain, and because of the rice he received, the group of people came to look for him last night.

"Uncle Zhou, do you have anything you want to say?"

Maybe when people are old, they are easy to cry, and the owner of the rice shop wiped his eyes with a handkerchief again, and said to Siming, "Brother Qiao, don't blame me. ”

After a long pause, the rice shop owner finally spoke. “··· Your father's death may be related to the Ma family in White City, and they are also responsible for falling into the water. ”

Suddenly, Siming seemed to be hit by five thunderbolts, his head stopped running, and he only felt that there was a commotion around him, and there were thousands of flies spinning in his head, which almost made Siming unable to find the north. Struggling with the last trace of clarity, Siming grabbed Uncle Zhou's arm and said, "How do you know?" ”

The owner of the rice shop said with some twist, "I have forgotten who I heard from people a few years ago. ”

"Uncle Zeng?"

"I don't remember."

Who else but him would know these things, and what did he say that he saw his father and mother in his hometown, just to bring me here, this is a conscience disturbed and finally wants to tell me. Siming finally couldn't support it anymore, and didn't kowtow to Aunt Zhou again, staggered back, fell on the grass, got up, fell down again, got up again, and staggered a long way.

Liang Tian hurriedly followed, supporting the staggering Siming, and shouted as he walked, "Siming, wake up, it's me." ”

How can a person who fell into a nightmare wake up, Siming walked like this, returned to the city, and walked to the previous house, knocked on the door and shouted, "Mother, you open the door." ”

This shout frightened Liang Tian, and quickly pulled Siming back, and asked Quan Gui'er in the gatehouse of Zeng's mansion to come out quickly. The two of them pulled Siming back to the room where he slept.

Liang Tian watched Siming sleeping on the bed, obviously with his eyes open, but as if he had lost his soul. His clothes were punctured, his face was punctured, and his hair was scattered.

After a while, Grandma Zeng also came over, called out Liang Tian with tears on his face, and asked, "What's wrong?" It's fine to go out in the morning. ”

"I don't know, that Uncle Zhou said that Siming's father and mother were harmed by the Ma family, and he became like this." Liang Tian looked at Siming like this, and he was so distressed that he couldn't do it.

Suddenly, Liang Tian knelt down towards Grandma Zeng and said, "I don't know what to do, I beg you to save him, you know him, you must know why he is like this." ”

Grandma Zeng took the cane in her hand and knocked on the floor tiles with a bang, "Evil debt, evil debt, those two dead ghosts will not let him go until this time, what are they going to do!" If you want to take it, take my wife's life, what is it to torture such a young man. ”

Grandma Zeng helped Liang Tian up and said, "The Uncle Zhou you are talking about is the Uncle Zhou of Mi Xing?" ”

Liang Tian nodded.

···

The owner of the rice shop never thought that Qiao Ge'er would have such a big reaction, and all other euphemistic words of persuasion became empty talk, and after seeing the two of them stumble back, he also went back to the store with a cane, and it didn't take long for someone to come to the door.

The owner of the rice shop didn't want to open, so he shouted outside, "I won't sell rice today." ”

I didn't want the man to yell inside, "You shameless old man! Don't sell rice! Don't sell rice! You came to deceive my grandson and harm my grandson. ”

The owner of the rice shop knew that this was Grandma Zeng's voice, and wanted to dodge, but how could he dodge, so he had to curl up on the chair and say, "Aunt Zeng, I also feel sorry for Brother Qiao'er, how could I hurt him." ”

Grandma Zeng came in with a cane and knocked on the leg of the rice shop owner's chair, "What nonsense have you said to people, scared people like that!" Now you tell me, what you just said is a lie. ”

The owner of the rice shop stood up, sat down again, and said ruthlessly, "I just told him the truth, it's all because you have been hiding it from him, so that he can't accept the blow for a while, I won't go, even if you kill me here, I won't go." ”

Grandma Zeng really used crutches to hit the owner of the rice shop, scolding while beating, "Your father and mother don't teach you, I'll teach you, you are still so unconscious, and people still call you Uncle Zhou!" ”

The owner of the rice shop was also anxious, and said viciously, "I don't deserve that Uncle Zhou for a long time!" Don't call me! I don't want it! ”

"You, I thought you were cowardly, it turns out that you are all cruel to yourself, I think I am wrong about you." Grandma Zeng was physically exhausted, and after a few moves, she gasped. When the neighbors on the street saw the two quarreling, they all came to persuade Grandma Zeng, some persuaded Grandma Zeng to leave, and some went to persuade the owner of the rice shop.

A farce ended like this, and if it weren't for the night-penetrating fire, the neighbors would not have remembered what had happened during the day.
