Chapter 152: Ugly and narrow-minded
Seeing the goods rolling down, the group of people was obviously in a hurry, stopped the car, surrounded them, bent down and forgot about it. But you can still see the shadow of the goods.
"What to do!" One yelled.
"It's raining too much! Let's go to the cave to take shelter from the rain! It's time for the flash flood to come! ”
Everyone affirmed that this area has been dry for a long time, and this rain is extremely rare. If you don't come, it's over, and when you come, it's like a hole leaking in the sky, and the water of the heavenly river leaks down.
"No! Later, when the flash flood came, the goods were washed away! You go first, I'll go get those two boxes back!" The man who shouted was so tall that he couldn't stop the sense of power even if he was wearing a robe.
"Lao Ning! Don't ask for it! Just two boxes of goods! ”
"No! Business was not good this year, but I put all my money into this batch of goods! I'll come as soon as I go, don't worry! With that, he began to hold on to the tree and walk down the slope.
Lao Ning?
No wonder Ning Ge looked at this person very familiarly, it turned out to be his father who was away from home.
Speaking from experience, such heavy rain is extremely dangerous in such a mountain, and he actually risked his life for these boxes of goods.
Ning Ge followed. As he passed by the crowd, he heard the crowd say, "Ah! Lao Ning still has a wife and children at home, no wonder this is the case! ”
"Yes! He is a good man who stands up to the sky...... Let's go, let's go! Go to the cave first, or the goods will be ruined by the blisters. ”
This group of people also wanted to follow their father up, but Ning Ge saw fear in their eyes, compared to these petty profits, life was still more important. Why doesn't Daddy understand?
Ning Ge blamed his father for his irrational behavior over and over again, and was a little touched on the other hand.
Ning Ge frowned as he looked at the person in front of him who was cautiously leaning down.
Wrong!
"Don't go! Come back! Come back! Father! Ning Ge's pupils shrank sharply and shouted in horror. He remembered that his father had never been back since this year, and his mother had waited like this for two years! Washing her face with tears all day long, she asked herself why your father didn't come back.
Ning Ge ignored it, chased after him, and wanted to catch the person in front of him, but his body passed through his body, and he couldn't touch him no matter what.
Ning Ge's heart thundered: "Dad! Don't go! You're going to die! Ning Ge's eyes were red, and he couldn't do anything for his own powerlessness.
He watched his father go towards the abyss of death, but he couldn't stop it. At this moment, Ning Ge felt unprecedented despair! It's because of my father's departure! In the end, it ended up with the destruction of a family!
Ning Ge sat where he was, and didn't continue to follow, because he knew that even if he followed, it would be in vain.
Ning Ge sat for a long time under the pouring rain, he seemed to be out of place in this world, the rain penetrated his body, fell to the ground, and made some splashes.
Just as Ning Ge was about to go up, he saw a vague figure actually climbing up from under the slope! Not your own dad or who?
Daddy somehow found a few vines and tied the goods, one end of the vine tied around his waist.
He walked slowly and with great difficulty.
Ning Ge wanted to go up and help, but when he remembered his current situation, he gave up.
Ning Ge had been watching his father drag the goods up the path of Fangcai, looking for them along the ruts that he couldn't see clearly. Finally found the cave where his merchant friend rested.
Ning Ge heard the roaring sound of the mountains and knew that the torrent was coming. Daddy is very lucky, if it is any later, I am afraid that he will die here.
The group of people saw that their father was coming back, and their eyes showed joy, and they hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Oh, Lao Ning, you kid is really good!" You've really got it back! ”
Ning Ge looked at this group of smiling people with some disgust in his heart. I'm afraid this group of people is happy that these two boxes of goods are back, right?
It is also not known what kind of cargo it is.
Daddy is naturally happy to find the goods, he doesn't seem to have any scheming, and he is also heart-to-heart and sincere to this group of people.
It rained for two days in a row, and during those two days, Daddy took the initiative to go out to look for things, because the things they had prepared were no longer available.
Every time he went out, Ning Ge would follow with fear, but there was not a single accident during this period.
Ning Ge felt that he might be able to find out the reason for his father's disappearance. When they talked, they said that if the goods were delivered to the consignee, they would make a fortune.
When talking about this, everyone's eyes lit up. The goods were tightly wrapped and covered in waterproof wax, and the pouring rain that day did not wet them.
On the third day, when the rain had subsided, they set off again.
After walking for more than half a month, I finally arrived at Yucheng, which is very close to Yicheng. Their home is in a small village in Yizhou, not particularly far from Yicheng.
Daddy didn't go back that year, why didn't he go back when he arrived in Yucheng? Is it because you have earned money and don't want to go back to live a hard life?
Ning Ge stared at his father's back, as if he wanted to see him through.
Finally, they waited for the person who wanted to call for the goods, and the man gave them a lot of silver, and according to Ning Ge's eyes, at least no one had a few hundred taels. For people at that time, a few hundred taels was enough for a family's expenses for more than ten years.
Ning Ge became more and more curious about what kind of goods were in that box, and who were these people who received the goods? Why would such a large sum of money and such a valuable thing be bought and sold by a few ordinary merchants?
This group of merchants, including their own father, had never seen so much silver, and they were carried away by the joy, and they didn't expect Ning Ge to have so much at all.
They had a good meal in Yucheng and then rested for the night.
The next day, my father was seriously ill.
"Lao Ning, you can stay in Yucheng for a few more days! Go and see Lang Zhong, anyway, now we have silver, don't be reluctant! ”
"No, my wife is still waiting for me at home." When Daddy mentions his mother, his eyes are full of soft light, Daddy actually loves his mother very much, right?
"It will take at least ten days to return to Yicheng, and I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it!" The man persuaded.
"Old horse, don't persuade me, I'll go back with you, I'm in good health, I can bear it!" Daddy patted his chest.
The old horse was also helpless, so he had to rely on his father.
The phrase "sickness comes like a mountain" seems to be tailor-made for my father, who fainted the night after he walked out of Yucheng.
When the group saw their father fainting, they began to panic. There are many mountains to cross between Yucheng and Yicheng, and now in this wilderness, where can I find a doctor?
"Brother Ma! How good is that? "They and their father are all from Yizhou, and they came together to do business.
"Let's find out if there's anyone around!" The old horse said to the man.
So they put Daddy in a flat place and went separately to find a human habit.
Ning Ge didn't follow the old horse, but with another person, and he always felt that this person was a thief.
Ning Ge followed this man to find a house, and the man looked at the house from a distance, and then began to walk back.
Ning Ge said in his heart, Daddy is saved.
But unexpectedly, this person actually said to Lao Ma that he didn't see anyone's house, and Lao Ma was the same.
"What the fuck are you talking about! Obviously, there is! Ning Ge roared angrily. But the two men couldn't hear him at all.
Lao Ma also found it difficult.
Daddy was tall and big, and these two people were very small, so only two people carried Daddy forward, and they couldn't get out of this mountain after a day's walk.
By the end of the night, Daddy was dying. Ning Ge stared at the lying man from the side, his eyes full of bloodshot and murderous intent.
"Brother Ma, I think Lao Ning won't be able to survive it." The man pretended to be sorry.
"No! Let's go find some herbs to hang on, and he still has his wife and children waiting for him. "The old horses have been walking outside all year round, so they are naturally more or less proficient in some herbal medicines.
The man agreed, and the two began to separate from each other to find herbs. As it was dark, they took out the fire folds they had prepared long ago, lit the torches they had made, and began to look for medicine little by little.
The figure of the old horse was far away, and the thief-eyed man actually fell back and walked in front of his father.
Daddy was groggy at this time, and occasionally barely managed to earn his eyes.
Ning Ge also walked in front of his father and faced the man head-on.
"Lao Ning, let's go all the way!"
This sentence exploded in Ning Ge's mind, and looking at this person's eyes again, there was a bit of struggle in it, but it was more evil.
The man gradually reached out to his father.
Ning Ge was frightened and at a loss.
"Don't, don't! Stop it! I'll kill you! Ning Ge's eyes were cracked, with tears in his red eyes, and he stared at the struggling father in a daze.
Daddy is seriously ill, but he still has some consciousness, and he can't break free from the demon's hands.
I don't know if it's Ning Ge's illusion, Daddy stopped struggling, his eyes looked at him deadly, as if questioning, why didn't he save him!
Ning Ge fell to his knees and cried silently.
Daddy died, and Daddy was already dead when the old horse came back with the herbs. And at this time, the man who was hiding not far away also returned.
Lao Ma originally planned to give his father medicine, but after a wipe, his body was already cold.
Frightened, he screamed, and fell to the ground.
"Brother Ma! What's wrong with you! The man ran forward and asked knowingly.
"Dead, dead! Lao Ning ...... "There was a little fear in the old horse's eyes, and a little regret.
The man and the old horse expressed their fear and reluctance on the side, a scene of deep brotherly love.
"Brother Ma, are we going to bring the body back?" The man asked.
"I'm afraid it's all rotten when I bring it back, so bury it!" The old horse said in a deep voice.
A gleam flashed in the man's eyes: "Then doesn't he still have two hundred taels of silver tickets on him?" Also buried? ”
The old horse was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand what the man meant.
"Bring it back to his wife and children!" When Lao Ma said this, his confidence was obviously insufficient, and he seemed to have something in mind.
"It's not Brother Ma, two hundred taels of silver! How long do we have to earn? The man was also a good man, and seemed to see the old horse's wavering.
"What do you mean?" The old horse asked pretendically.
"What I mean, Brother Ma should understand." The man smiled.
Ning Ge didn't expect that his father's bones were not cold, and these two people actually came up with the idea of silver.
What about their conscience? Daddy is not thin on them! Ning Ge was a little desperate. Is the temptation of money really that great?
He remembered that his sister had said that poverty makes people strong and great, but poverty makes people ugly and narrow-minded more often than not. These two men are obviously like this, they can't resist the charm of money, for this they lose their humanity, they are not human, they are no different from beasts at this time!
The two of them each took a hundred taels, and then dug a pit under the tree and buried their father. The two felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so they hurried overnight.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. But the two who did something bad lived in the inn of the town in the middle of the night and asked for a room.
Ning Ge followed them all the time.
Everything seemed so plain that night, but in this kind of blandness that ordinary people thought, Ning Ge smelled an unusual smell, a smell of blood.
Sure enough, the next moment someone entered the house.
It was already difficult for the two of them to fall asleep, and such a movement directly woke them up.
"Who are you! What do you want to do?! The man with the eyebrows and eyes of the thief clung to the old horse, and his voice trembled a little.
The man in black masked and didn't speak, and walked directly to the bed.
When people are terrified to the extreme, they will burst out with a force, and the man with the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes is exactly like this, he is so frightened that he directly pounces on the man in black.
Who knew that the man in black was not an ordinary person, but he saw the knife in the hand of the man in black slashing across the night sky, and the man suddenly fell to the ground, and he didn't have time to make a sound. All I could hear was the flow of blood in my throat and the sound of gurgling struggle.
The old horse was frightened and immediately knelt down: "Spare your life!" Heroes spare their lives! I've never offended anyone in my life! Nothing bad either! Heroes spare their lives! ”
"Where's the other one?" The man in black finally spoke, but asked about his father's whereabouts.
The old horse's eyes rolled a few times: "He rides faster than us, and he may be home now!" ”
Ning Ge knew that Lao Ma was lying!
"Where's his home?" The man in black asked again.
"Hero, spare your life! Heroes spare their lives! The old horse just pleaded. His meaning was obvious, spare his life, and he told him!
How the family was destroyed, how the mother died, how the uncles and aunts died, Ning Ge will never forget it for the rest of his life!
It's a group of men in black who have broken into the village! And then the slaughter began! My sister hid in the wine jar with herself, and only then did she escape death!
Ning Ge's ten fingers were clenched, and the joints were already white. I see! I see! Let's just say why the man in black came to the village to ask Daddy! Let's just say why the whole village says they don't know, but they don't believe it!
This old horse! If you don't die! Heaven is intolerable!
Ning Ge knew that Lao Ma would die, and these people would not let him go!
They didn't offend anyone, and the only thing they came into contact with that might have caused the man in black was the shipment.
Lao Ma also thought of this.
"Hero, we don't know what those goods are! We haven't opened it! Spare me! ”
"Say, I'll spare your life!" The voice of the man in black was emotionless, like a doll.
"In Ningjia Village!"
"Poof!" With a knife slash, the old horse stared at him, and he didn't bat at him.
