Chapter 167: Slipping Liver Tip (7)
If he had known that this would be the result, Wang Huzi would not have promised that person to do that kind of thing.
Retribution!
This must be retribution!
Just because he promised that person and did that kind of thing, God punished him. First he took his eldest son, and then his younger son.
He stood beside his youngest son's coffin, listening to his wife's sobs on and off, unable to tell whether it was resentment or remorse.
"It's all you...... It's all your ......."
The wife sobbed as she grabbed him by the sleeve with her hand and stood up with the strength of tugging at him.
Wang Huzi glanced at his wife.
Her face was stained with tears, and her eyes were frighteningly red. He opened his mouth, trying to defend himself, but he couldn't get a single syllable out of his throat.
"Take a good look, take a good look, it's you, it's you, it's the immoral things you did that killed our son. Now, it's just the two of us. You say, what is the point of my life? You simply...... Just kill me together. ”
Wang's mouth opened again, and his throat was a little dry. He gently squirmed his Adam's apple and let out a dull whine from his chest. After a while, he heard himself say to his wife, "Don't worry. ”
His wife's eyes widened suddenly. She looked at Wang Huzi with an extremely complicated look, and asked him tremblingly, "What did you say?" ”
I said...... "Wang's beard's throat drier."
"What did you just say? You wish I had died with my children, did you? The wife asked again, her body trembling even more.
Wang Huzi looked at his wife for a while, slowly raised his hand to cover the back of his wife's hand, and then said with his eyelids half-drooping: "I didn't mean that." ”
"And what do you mean?"
"I mean......" Wang Huzi looked at the sleeping child in the coffin, clenched his fists, and his untrimmed nails almost pinched into his palms. People cannot be resurrected from death, and we still have to live. ”
"That's what you're thinking?"
The wife asked, trembling with a hint of despair.
The king looked up, and he saw in his wife's eyes something other than despair. Resentment is like the kind that looks at the enemy, the kind that wants to eat him alive.
Delusion, it must be an illusion!
Wang Huzi licked his lips and noticed that his throat was even drier.
When his wife was about to carry her body on her back, he hurriedly said again: "I...... It was a last resort. ”
His wife stared at him, her eyes were cold, and her voice did not have the same temperature as before.
She said, "You should die, you are the most deserving person in this family, in this town!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wang Huzi felt a chill, and his hand tightened.
"If you die sooner, it won't affect our children." The wife pointed to her youngest son in the coffin: "Look at him, you take a good look at him." He was so young, he didn't know anything, and you killed him. He still called you Daddy, but you wanted his life. ”
"He's my son, too!" Wang Huzi's eyes turned red: "I'm just ...... There's just no way. ”
"No way?" The wife sneered: "What do you mean there is no way?" ”
"I'm ......," Wang Huzi looked at his wife, his mouth slightly open, and a painful, suppressed snort came from his throat.
He couldn't tell his wife about that, at least not yet.
Wang Huzi was a tomb robber, and everyone in the town knew about it, but no one knew why Wang Huzi did such an immoral thing.
The first time Wang Huzi went to pick up people's graves was because it was cold. In the cold winter of the wax moon, I can't even find a piece of extra cloth in the windy home. That winter, a concubine died in the richest Ma family in town. Because he was more favored during his lifetime, the funeral was also quite beautiful. Wang Huzi followed the funeral procession from the town to the outskirts. Originally, all he was thinking about was the food, but somehow he opened the tomb that the concubine had just piled up. It wasn't until he saw the concubine lying in the coffin, dressed in silk and satin, that he realized that he was digging the grave for the clothes on her body.
Worn by women, and still worn by dead women. But what does it matter, when the living are unclothed and are about to freeze to death, wearing women's clothes is nothing.
Wang Huzi rejoiced in his thinness, because if he grew longer, the concubine's clothes would not be able to put on himself. When he picked up the concubine's clothes, he took off the accessories on her body by the way. When I got it to the pawn shop, I realized that the things on the dead were also quite valuable.
Since then, Wang Huzi has paid special attention to the funerals in the town. At first, he just went to dig up the graves of those who had just been buried, and then he went to dig up those who had been dead for years. As Wang's beard grew day by day, there were more and more graves, and the specifications became higher and higher.
At his current age, the tombs of ordinary people can no longer arouse his interest.
The tomb was told to him by the man.
Wang Huzi chose to set off in the evening. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the rolling hills, and from a distance it looks like a beautiful painting. He had been looking for the tomb for a long time, but he didn't expect to easily learn the specific location from that person's mouth. His instincts told him that there was definitely the treasure he wanted in that tomb.
Before going out, his wife, as many times before, whispered begging him, hoping that he would see the two children and not do such a dangerous thing again. He looked his wife in the eye and wanted to tell her that, if she was lucky, it would be the last time.
Grave robbers have a bad reputation, digging graves is even more despised, and he doesn't want his two children to be influenced by him anymore. He thought to himself, if he found that grave, if there was really the gold, silver, and jewels that the man had said, then when he came home, he would wash his hands in a golden basin. The wife needs a husband with a clean reputation, and the son needs a father who needs to stand in the sun.
But what if you can't find it? What if you find it but don't have those things inside?
Wang Huzi knows that there are no absolutes in this kind of thing. So, the words of the promise only swirled in his mind and were erased. He thought it wouldn't be too late to tell his wife when he got those things.
It was an inaccessible forest, and probably no one wanted to go into it except for the nearby hunters. Wang Huzi didn't want to, especially in this season, he always felt that there was something hidden there. But that kind of tomb is only available here. The gold, silver and jewelry in the tomb allowed him and his family to live a decent life.
Wang Huzi thought that his sense of direction was not bad, but since he entered the forest in front of him, he was a little confused. The sky was getting darker and darker, and Wang Huzi thought about it and lit the torch he was carrying. The light of the fire illuminated his body, and the forest directly ahead. Something seemed to rush through the woods, and all the small sounds fell on his ears.
Wang Huzi's eyes narrowed. Holding a torch, he approached a tree with very light steps.
Behind the tree, there is something hidden.
This thing looked like a fox, but it was different from the fox he had seen before. It leaned forward, its front paws off the ground, and was semi-upright, as if trying to stand up. Wang Huzi has been tossing in the wild for many years, and he has also seen a few foxes. White, red, and that kind of miscellaneous hair, but the fur of the fox in front of me was that jade-colored, and even under the light of the fire, it glowed like jade.
Wang Huzi pondered, the hair of this thing should also be worth a lot of money.
He reached out to touch the jade-like fur, but the thing looked up at him in a daze. Its eyes were larger than those of a normal fox, and when it looked at him, its eyes were slightly narrowed, but there was a hint of caution in the corners of its eyes.
"Little thing, it's quite smart."
Wang's beard wrinkled his nose.
"It's your fate today, if you stay until the lord is poor, he will definitely arrest you and strip off this beautiful fur. Right now, you still have important things to do, if you know what's interesting, leave quickly, so as not to regret it. ”
It looked at him silently, not wanting to flee in the slightest, but opened its half-squinted eyes and stepped back with one foot, making a look that resembled a guard, an attack.
"What's the matter, you still want to fight with your master?"
Wang Huzi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It suddenly raised its head and smiled contemptuously at the king's beard.
A chill rose from the soles of his feet, and Wang Huzi realized that this strange fox-like thing might be psychic. It understood him, and disdained the threat he had just made.
The king's beard confronted it, the halo of torches encircling him and it. Even though the fire flickered, so did his shadow and its body.
"Get out!"
He shouted, a little annoyed, but it didn't move.
The king's beard was furious, and he raised his torch and struck at it. The thing only took a step back, without even twisting its head, and continued to stare at Wang's beard with those eyes.
Suddenly, Wang Huzi was a little panicked.
Suddenly, it lifted its front legs and pointed behind Wangbeard, as if to persuade him to leave here quickly.
Walk?
Wang Huzi had thought about it, but if he was driven away by something similar to a fox, what face did he have in Wang Huzi.
After cursing a few words in his heart, he held the torch in one hand and reached to his waist with the other, and grasped the dagger pinned there. This dagger, which he had been carrying for many years, was so sharp that it could cut the throat of that thing in an instant.
"Get out! Get out of the way! If you get in the way of the master again, the master will send you on the road. ”
Wang Huzi pulled out the dagger and aimed the sharp tip of the dagger at the thing.
It narrowed its eyes again, and after staring at the king's beard for a moment, it turned and ran behind the tree beside it. Wangbeard was a little uneasy, and he chased after him with his dagger, but the back of the tree was empty, and the fox-like thing was gone.
