Chapter 016: Brown Sugar Steamed Bun (6)
"Mother, I don't eat!"
On the bed, Han Baoyu's body swelled more and more, and his round belly seemed to burst open with a single finger. Han looked at his son, and his heart hurt.
"Old man, this pill ......"
"The girl's family is twitter, wow, he calls you a mother, and you are soft-hearted? He said he wouldn't eat it, so you wouldn't let him eat it? This is the elixir of life, not the poison that sent him to death. Look at the way he looks now, how long do you think he can last? ”
"Bao, listen to my mother, shall we take this pill?"
"I don't want to eat it." Han Baoyu shook his head: "If I eat it, I will die." ”
"If you don't eat, you'll die." Old man Han snatched the pill and stuffed it into Han Baoyu's mouth: "Damn, bring a bowl of water." ”
"Goo Dong Gu Dong" poured half a bowl of water into it, Han Baoyu's round belly seemed to be more bulging, and the whole person looked like a big-bellied frog lying flat. Not long after the pill rushed down, Han Baoyu's eyelids began to droop, and after a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Han Shi was not at ease, and tried it a few times with his fingers, and was relieved to see that Han Baoyu was still breathing.
"Old man, what should we do next?"
"What else can I do? As the gentleman had instructed, he was put in a coffin and buried somewhere in a place. ”
"Really buried?"
"It's all this time, and you're still asking me this? Do you want your son to live? ”
"Buried, buried, I want my son to live." Han wiped away his tears: "But we have to say it in front, I don't worry about burying it somewhere else, so I will bury it in our yard." ”
Old man Han glanced at Han Shi and didn't make a sound. His own son is buried somewhere else, and he is not at ease.
In this way, Han Baoyu, who had taken the turtle breath pill, was put into a box by the old Han couple, and then asked the neighbors to help him, and then buried the box in the big pit dug in the yard.
The night before, Old Man Han was guarding with Han.
The next night, Old Man Han was drunk, and Han was left alone to sleep next to the grave.
On the third night, Old Man Han was drunk, and Han didn't go out because he had suffered two nights and was not in good spirits. But on the night of the third day, something happened to the Han family, and the two thieves jumped into the courtyard of the Han family, dug the big pit, opened the box, and saw Han Baoyu lying inside. They thought they would find something precious when they opened the box, but they never thought that it contained a person, and a dead man. The two thieves lost half their lives in fear but found nothing, so they poured their anger on Han Baoyu. When Old Man Han heard the sound and ran out of the house, Han Baoyu's face was about to be trampled on.
When Han Baoyu left, he said: "Dad, mother, I'm hungry and want to eat brown sugar steamed buns." ”
Han Baoyu died, but the Han couple didn't know who to go to settle the score.
Looking for two thieves?
The people had already run away, and it was dark, and the drunken old man Han didn't see the faces of the two thieves clearly at all.
Looking for Xing Ruyi?
It was just a little girl, and she didn't find the two thieves.
Looking for Xing Ruyi's master?
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with other people. The turtle breath pill given by the people is real, and it is also true that Han Baoyu did not die after eating it, buried in the soil for three days, and then dug it up again, Han Baoyu has indeed recovered his original appearance, and he is indeed still alive. If it weren't for those two thieves, Han Baoyu would still be alive.
Han Baoyu died, and Han couldn't withstand the blow, so he couldn't afford to get sick, so he followed.
Old man Han first lost his daughter, followed by his wife and son, and felt that life was hopeless, so after getting drunk, he took a trouser belt and hanged himself at the gate of the courtyard.
On the evening of Old Man Han's death, the tranquility of the town was shattered by a team of soldiers rushing around.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines.
In the afterglow, specks of blood, accompanied by corpses, continued from the entrance to the town. Cries, curses, and pleadings shattered hundreds of years of tranquility in the town.
The aunt of the Niu family was holding a short knife, the short knife was across Aunt Jiang'er's neck, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of coldness: "Yubai, don't you really say it?" ”
There were more than a dozen villagers lying on the ground, one of whom was a man from the Niu family's aunt. Aunt Jiang'er's face was pale, and blood was still dripping from the place where her right arm was cut by the knife. She glanced sideways at the Niu family's aunt, bit her lip, and didn't say anything.
"It's really hard-boiled! Say, where is the wish? ”
"Why should I tell you where my daughter is?"
"I know what you're worried about, and I know what you're afraid of. Rest assured, we won't hurt your daughter. ”
"She's just an ordinary little girl!"
"Who told you she's just an ordinary little girl." The aunt of the Niu family put down the short knife: "Of course, in the eyes of a mother, you may think that your daughter is no different, or you may think that she is just smarter than other little girls, bolder, and unrestrained, but in the eyes of my master, she is an excellent material." ”
"Materials?"
"Your daughter has a pair of eyes that are different, don't you know that you are a mother?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, my family is no different."
"A little girl from an ordinary family, can you catch a glimpse of ghosts and gods?"
"You're not a little girl from an ordinary family, how do you know that a little girl from an ordinary family can't see it?" Aunt Jiang asked rhetorically: "It's just a hell, I've seen it too, is it possible, I am also an excellent material in the eyes of your master." ”
"You?" The aunt of the Niu family sneered: "If it weren't for my master, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see those things in your life." Forget it, I don't understand it to you. Tell me, where is Ruyi. If you don't say it, I'll kill you. ”
"If I do, you won't necessarily be able to let me go." Aunt Jiang closed her eyes: "If you want to kill, you will kill, less nonsense." If my aunt frowns, I won't be the daughter-in-law of the old Xing family. ”
"Don't you really say it?" Aunt Niu pointed the short knife at Aunt Sauce's chest, a sharp light flashed in the depths of her eyes, and with a "bang", the sword sank into her chest, Aunt Sauce gritted her teeth and stood still.
"I'd like to see if it's your skin or my knife."
"No matter how hard the knife is, it can't reach your heart." Aunt Jiang hooked her lips and smiled: "You can even kill your husband who accompanies you day and night, what am I." You want my daughter in the next life. ”
Aunt Jiang said, took half a step forward, and let her heart directly meet the short knife in the hand of Aunt Niu. The short knife stabbed in the chest, and Aunt Sauce's body shook slightly, and she fell to the ground softly.
"What a stubborn woman, what's the good of dying?" The aunt of the Niu family drew out the short knife, and the blood beads slid down from the blade and landed on the ground that had already been stained with blood. She stood in the courtyard, looking at the corpses all over the ground, a little depressed.
There are enough people who have died, but the key one has not been found.
At this time, Xing Ruyi was curled up in the carriage, falling asleep. Aunt Niu never dreamed that Aunt Jiang would hide her daughter in their old Niu's carriage.
Everything is just a coincidence.
When those people rushed into the small town, Uncle Niu had just sent people back, and he stopped to buy sauce at Aunt Sauce's house. Uncle Niu is a car driver, and the carriage at home, except for the Niu family's aunt and children, is used to solicit customers for the rest of the time. When the war was not up, he often ran long distances, and now he only walks around the town.
Uncle Niu and Aunt Jiang have not experienced real war, but they have heard about the robbers sacking the village, and Aunt Jiang'er first thought of how to protect her daughter. There is no place to hide people at home, and in a hurry, Uncle Niu proposed to let Aunt Jiang put Ruyi in his carriage first. There is a mezzanine at the bottom of the carriage, and that mezzanine was originally used to put things, and the space is enough to lie down for a curled child.
Xing Ruyi refused, because she was a fox again, and she knew that if she was really in danger, the fox would save her and the people in the town. But before she could find a chance to summon the fox out, she was stunned by Aunt Sauce and stuffed directly into the car. When she started to catch Aunt Sauce, Uncle Niu subconsciously stepped forward to persuade her, and before she could say anything, she was stabbed to death, and Aunt Niu never dreamed that the person she wanted to find was right in front of her.
When the last rays of sunlight disappeared behind the horizon, Xing Ruyi woke up, pushed the wooden planks on the carriage with her hands, and climbed out of the mezzanine in a daze. Before he stepped out of the carriage, he could already smell the thick smell of blood in the air. What remains in my memory is the conversation between my mother and Uncle Niu, who said that the rebels were coming and had entered the town.
"Mother! Auntie! At the moment when Xing Ruyi lifted the curtain, her eyes were covered.
The very light scent of green sunflower is a fragrance exclusive to foxes.
"Master?"
"It's me!"
"I'm looking for my mother, they said that the rebels came into the town, my mother, she knocked me unconscious, and I don't know where it is now." Xing Ruyi grabbed the fox's hand: "What are you doing covering my eyes?" Don't worry, I'm fine, I like to walk at night when I'm a child, and I like to hide in those corners, my eyes have already adapted to these flickering lights, don't worry. ”
"I'm covering your eyes because I don't want you to see those things."
"Ghosts?" Xing Ruyi asked subconsciously, and at the same time used his fingers to break the fox's hand: "Is it someone from the town?" A lot of people? ”
"A lot."
"Yes...... Is there my aunt and Uncle Niu? ”
"There is your Uncle Niu, but there is no your aunt."
"So, my aunt, she's still alive, isn't she?" Xing Ruyi asked in surprise, but he didn't hear the fox reply for a long time.
"Yes, your aunt is still alive, but she was taken away by those people." The fox's hand slowly let go: "Ruyi, I'll take you out of town and go to your aunt!" ”
