Chapter 766 of the year

What no one else can do, her own girl can do. If no one else can ask about the case, her own girl can ask it. And the other party looks like he can't wait to confess.

At this time, Yun Chi came, Miao Xiaogongzi compared his fingers to his mouth, and Yun Chi understood.

Walk lightly to Nie Xuan's side.

And Shi He in the cell is slowly reminiscing.

"It was by the river that day...... I also saw ......"

Xiao Ying has always believed that a person's experience plays a vital role in the formation of a person's temperament, she and Feng Ge didn't see anything abnormal about Shi He, Shi He deliberately concealed it, and more importantly, Shi He was indeed not a villain.

Even if he went through such a tragic thing, he was not a bad person. He didn't hurt anyone, and the medicine he gave her was not poison in serious terms.

So Xiao Ying didn't have much disgust for Shi He, she was just a little disappointed, she felt that she was a very understanding master. If Shi He really has a great grievance, why don't you tell her directly.

On the contrary, it is so roundabout.

She was just disappointed. Things go back a few years...... Tongguan.

It rained one after another, and finally cleared. Tongjiang is abnormal, Tongguan is a small place, the people live a peaceful life, even if there is a little movement can make trouble, everyone knows, not to mention that Tongguan is different. Shihe, who is half the eldest child, refuses to go with his parents. Instead, he went to Tongjiang before dark. At that time, Shi He thought he was bold.

Even if you don't find a companion, you have no fear. Until he saw the strange Tongjiang with his own eyes.

See the tumbling whirlpool.

Ishiwa was frightened. If it was just a whirlpool, although it was terrifying, it would not scare Shi He and never dare to set foot on the Tongjiang River again.

He saw ...... I saw people lining up and walking towards the river.

"It's getting late, I'm a little far away. I can't see it very clearly. But I'm sure it's people. And not alone. Those people lined up, step by step...... Just walked slowly into the river. Niangniang can think about the scene at that time.

I was a teenager at the time, and I didn't know what it meant to be afraid. But I was really scared at that time. I was scared and my legs went limp...... Obviously, those who look into the water look like people, but how can people gain a foothold in the river, and how urgent the flow of the Tongjiang River is, Niangniang must know. And they seemed to be unconscious, so they went straight into the water, and finally they didn't reach the top. I was so frightened that I stumbled home, not daring to tell my parents. I went to the Tongjiang River secretly. We have always had a rule that we can't go to the river at night, saying that there are water ghosts who will pull people.

I was afraid of being beaten by my father, and I didn't know how to describe it. Say you saw a water ghost? But shouldn't the water ghost be a green-faced fanged and short body? I see that they look like people.

Later, he said that the Tongjiang whirlpool was gone, but something came out...... I was even more scared. I'm worried about whether those people were sacrificed. We have the custom of sacrificing to the river god there. But the offerings were all sheep and oxen, and I had never heard of a sacrifice. If it really came out because of human sacrifice, it must be very terrible. ”

After so many years, Shi He still feels chills in his heart when he recalls it.

It was as if he had returned to that day, and the little boy wanted to stop his parents and prevent them from going out.

But where can he stop his parents, and he can't say that he is ugly. In the end, his father waved his hand, pulled him aside, and led his wife and his brother and sister to watch the excitement together.

In his father's words.

Anyway, everyone went to join in the fun, and there was no business to do.

Don't go, don't go, don't go He has always been dissatisfied with Shi He, the eldest son, and feels that Shi He is not very harmonious.

Never goes out with his family and doesn't seem to be very interested in anything. In that small place in Tongguan, discord means weirdness, and it will be pointed at, and everyone else laughs at the Shi family for raising a little monster.

Recalling this, Shi He smiled bitterly. "I should have ignored stopping them at the time."

"It's not your fault. You can't stop it. "Xiao Ying, this can be regarded as comfort, although the words are quite hurtful. Shi He nodded. "Mother is right. Can't stop it. I didn't like to be lively since I was a child, so I seemed a little out of place. The neighbors pointed at me behind my back and called me a little monster. I just don't like to talk to people like a fool. ”

Xiao Ying nodded in understanding, it was not that he didn't like to be lively, but he didn't like to join in the fun with everyone. To put it bluntly, he is a rebellious middle school boy, who feels that the world is big and he is big, and he is the most powerful in the sky.

"Almost the whole town went out to see the excitement that day."

"The whole town?"

"Yes. Almost the whole town, because a few days before that, Xie Jixin arrived. He was a messenger of the imperial court, and said that he came to inspect the Tongjiang River on behalf of the Son of Heaven. In our small place, the county magistrate is the biggest official, and he has never had a Qin cha appear. So Xie Jixin is simply a god in the eyes of the whole town. It is said that when he went to Tongjiang in person, the people of the town called their friends to join in the fun, lest they go too late and not be able to pay homage to Lord Qincha's face. ”

Xiao Ying could almost imagine the situation that day.

I heard that Tongjiang was different, and Xie Jixin wanted to go. That's what he's here for.

I'm afraid that the county magistrate there thinks that even Lord Qincha has gone, so he naturally wants to find some people to help Xing Zhuangwei.

So the news was secretly spread. Tongguan is too calm, except for the summer to beware of the Tongjiang River bursting, people feel that there is something to do. For most of the year, they can only rely on the arrangement of neighbors to point fingers at each other.

I got the news that Lord Chincha was going.

Naturally, I want to join in the fun.

So, almost the entire town witnessed the so-called apocalypse.

"On that day, the beast came out of the water, and almost the whole town saw it with their own eyes, and I remember that my parents talked all night that day. The divine beast came out of the water, the apocalypse came to the world, and the words engraved on the divine beast could not be hidden. The people didn't understand the deep meaning, and they passed on the word of mouth with interest...... "This is the root cause of the killing disaster in the entire Tongguan."

Tongguan belongs to the kind of small place of the 18th parallel.

Although there are also people in the town who read, they only have some ink in their stomachs, and they don't know the depths.

At this time, he became more and more pretentious, and even compiled the apocalypse into a poem. "I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. I just thought it was a little magical, but when I think about what I saw that night, I feel scared. So after a few days, the county posted a notice, saying that the emperor was sympathetic to the people of Tongguan, and when the Tongjiang River was different this year, each person would send two taels of silver to appease us. It's just that you can't collect it on your behalf, you must come in person. ”

Xiao Ying's eyes were slightly dull.

It's time for the big show.

"Two taels of silver in our small place is enough for the family to spend two or three months. My family and I have five members, which is ten taels of silver. My parents were so happy that they didn't even bother to finish their meal, so they dragged us out of the house. But I was scared, I never forgot the people who lined up to walk into the water that night...... I broke free, and then hid in the firewood room, and my parents were anxious to receive the money, afraid that they would not be able to receive it too late, and they did not care to look for me, so they took their wives and children out of the house. I went out and never came back. ”

There is no need to elaborate on it.

At that time, Xie Ji deceived the whole town out of the city.

Just like Shi He said, two taels per person, calculated according to the head. Two taels of silver are enough for a family to eat for a few months, and no one has trouble with silver. That's why everyone went out in a hurry and didn't bring anything with them. Because in the eyes of the people, they can only go out and get a piece of silver, and they will soon be able to return.

But I didn't expect it to be gone.

Xiao Ying finally understood why there were no survivors.

No one will have trouble with money. only hated that his family had too few people and would never let the children at home stay at home, Shi He stayed at home because he was hiding and time was pressing. So in the whole town, he was the only survivor.

“…… Didn't anyone come to search? ”

"That's what puzzled me, my parents were gone for about an hour when I heard movement in the front yard. I was afraid of being beaten, so I didn't dare to come out. When I was a child, I was naughty and dug a hole in the corner of my family's firewood room. As long as I my parents, I hid there. That little hole was dug so secretly that even my parents didn't know about it, so no one noticed me. I saw it through the cracks...... He was a soldier, wearing a coarse cloth robe and a spear in his hand. ”

After tricking the people out of the city, Xie Jixin asked the entire town to be searched again.

Make sure there are no survivors.

The silver plus the subsequent search should be foolproof.

"I didn't dare to come out and kept hiding in the dog hole. Until late at night, they hadn't returned. Not only did my parents not come back, but there was no movement next door. The aunt next door is a loud voice...... The whole street knew that receiving the money was what she was shouting about. If she comes back, I'll be able to hear her. I stayed like this all night, and only crept out the next day at dawn. I didn't dare to go out, the whole town was quiet, there was no movement at all. I was terrified...... Can the mother think of it? For two days, two whole days and two nights, I huddled in that dog hole and nibbled on only one cake that was left from the table. ”

No one knows the despair of that moment. Shi He thought that he would never tell the second person in his life.

I didn't expect there to be someone listening.

What he didn't expect was that he actually said it to the queen of a country.

The whole town fell silent.

There was no one, a little boy hiding behind the pyre, hungry and hungry. But he didn't dare to leave the dog cave where he was hiding, let alone go out.

"In the past two days, a total of four or five people have come. They turned the whole house upside down. Everything of value was looted. I was scared, for fear they would find out about me. But they obviously had no interest in dry firewood, and only took a knife and pulled it casually. ”

It's like a sieve.

Once, twice...... I sifted it four or five times. It's really cautious.

"And then? Who saved you? ”

"I can't remember exactly how many days it was, maybe it was the fourth day, maybe it was the fifth day. I don't have any strength left. I thought no one would come again, but who knew that at night, there would be another person in the house. I was in a bit of a trance at that time, thinking that I was dying anyway, so whoever I love will come. Even if it is searched, there is nothing. Anyway, most of my family members are more than lucky. If my father were to leave, even if he didn't want me, he would definitely take the valuable things with him. It was the last time I was discovered. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ying was not too surprised.

Miao Xiaogongzi outside the house let out a soft snort.

Nie Xuan and Yun Chi's eyes glared instantly, and Miao Xiaogongzi covered his mouth with his hand, indicating that he would never speak again.

But...... After listening to what happened to Shi He, why did he feel so sad.

“…… Is it Miao Xiaogongzi? ”

Miao Qian answered softly. He and Shi He have a good relationship, and the two often drink together.

"I don't have many friends in Beijing. Niangniang is my benefactor, and Miao Xiaogongzi is my best friend...... What I did this time was too unseemly, and I disappointed Brother Miao. ”

Miao Qian wiped his eyes. Then he said coldly: "You are not my friend, you poisoned the girl, and you will no longer be my friend." ”

"Really? I also don't feel worthy to be your friend. Miao Gongzi, I really envy you. You always say in front of me how strict your father is, and he beats and scolds you every day. But you know what? Growing up, what I wanted most was for my father to look at me squarely, even if he hit me. But in his mind, I have always been a little monster. He hit me also because I disgraced him. His greatest hope is to have no son like me.

So, I'm not really too sad.

I didn't feel too sad to have any relatives. It's just that...... The people who finally found me were not in the same league as those people. He said he traveled around and passed through here. I found the whole town empty, and I thought it was strange before I looked around. Just happened to find me. Then I begged him to take me to the Tong River. Then I saw it with my own eyes...... Seeing them tie stones to people and push them down the Tongjiang River......"

This is the real knot in Shi He's heart.

He did not do this entirely to avenge his parents, he hated his father.

He also hated his mother. His father hated him, and his mother despised him. But all of a sudden, everyone died, and he became a rootless duckweed.

He didn't know why he was alive except for revenge.

"Who saved you?"

Several people outside the house looked at the same time, and the highlight came.

“…… I'll call him Childe. I don't know his name, only that he seems to be from the vicinity of Tongjiang. He looked at Tong Jiang's eyes...... It's a little scary. He stared at Tongjiang and then said to me in a very soft voice.

It was said that the emperor ordered it and Xie Jixin carried it out. Because of the apocalypse...... Because the apocalypse cannot be spread out, if it is spread, the emperor's dragon chair will not be able to sit steadily. He also said that it was useless to spread it now. Because everybody died. It's just me, and it's not going to make much difference. If I want revenge, I can only bear the burden. He sent me to study medicine, and then I went to the Imperial Hospital. Over the years, he would secretly send me messages, mostly to tell me that the time had not yet come.

Finally, I received a new message last month. He said the time had come. I knew he was going to do it. ”

The day Emperor Geng's twenty-year-old case was brought up by Lou Baiyun, Shi He knew that the time was almost up.

The man rescued him and sent him to medicine. Although it seemed that he didn't ask much of him, everything about him was in the hands of that man.
