Zhou Siyuan couldn't figure it out, but he still went downstairs, took out the IOU with one hand and tore it in front of him, and took the heavy silver with the other, his heart was like a knife.

I unconsciously remembered the previous life, when he was young, he sacrificed his life for the country and died under the red blade of the rebels.

Where did Ah Zhi know what he was thinking or what he had experienced, seeing that since he came out, he dealt with the matter of the debt, and he didn't move at all, and his eyes were shining.

I saw her raise her hand and shake it twice in front of his eyes, pretending to be respectful: "Zhou Gongzi, since the debt is paid off, the work will be eliminated. ”

Zhou Siyuan's face was displeased and happy, and his eyes were tender like water, "Thank you!" ”

"Farewell!"

Ah Zhi stopped looking at him, and walked slowly back to Hulu Lane with the old lady.

Gourd Alley was filled with smoke, and the pungent soot burrowed into the nose.

There was a fire in Gourd Lane.

The house in the middle of the house had been engulfed in flames, and the flames were rising, and the surroundings were full of mildness, which gave this slightly chilly spring day some warmth, but unfortunately this was not what they wanted.

Several surrounding families were implicated in the fire, but no one put out the fire, and the fire became bigger and bigger.

When I wanted to save it again, I was already powerless, and the far water couldn't save the near fire.

I had to watch from afar, praying silently in my heart, hoping that the fire would not burn again, or perhaps a heavy rain would extinguish the fire.

The old lady was full of tears, tears flowed everywhere, leaning on crutches and leaning on Ah Zhi, crying silently.

Ah Zhi Muran, but it was only one morning, and the only shelter was buried in the sea of fire, could it be that man?

Didn't you say okay that it wouldn't hurt them?

Suddenly, Ah Zhi chuckled, it won't hurt them, but it will burn down the house!

These people really did one thing in front of them and another thing behind their backs, and they didn't believe their words, and immediately went to ask what happened to a woman who was pointing at the house.

The woman kindly replied to her, "Little girl, do not come near, lest you be wounded by fire, I tell you!" Someone had just moved out, and after walking for a while, a few iron arrows with fire flew from the sky. ”

The result can be imagined, the saddest old lady was startled, and the crutch held in her hand tapped the green brick hard, and the green brick suddenly made a light banging sound.

"Let's go," said to Mrs. Cheng.

The old lady didn't say a word, she would cry, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, shook her head with a smile, and muttered to herself, but others couldn't understand the words: Retribution!

The government came to investigate the fire case in Hulu Lane, according to the structure of the house and the phenomenon of long-term residence or unoccupied, and the iron arrow that suddenly appeared in the air, the newly built kitchen in the backyard of the main house, although the house is old, after checking the population, it was found that this house has never been inhabited, and it is an empty house.

The leader of the fast sword eyebrows, one hand held the official sword, the other palm held the iron arrow, and his tone was slightly angry, "Check." ”

I saw the burned iron arrow, and the gray and black arrow body had some faint marks, but I couldn't see it clearly.

The people behind the people who took the lead got the order and dispersed.

The people in Hulu Lane have all dispersed, only the two of them are left, leaning against the corner of the wall on the side, each holding a piece of black-flour steamed bun in their hands and gnawing, and pouring cold water into their mouths from time to time.

"You say this is your house?" The sword-eyed star-eyed catcher was displeased with the three points on his face, and looked impatiently at the emaciated old woman led by him.

"Back to the official, it's an old man." The old lady was weak and couldn't speak clearly.

"Tsk," the leading catcher was impatient and put on a face: "The house in this gourd lane has been under the jurisdiction of the government a few years ago, and the deed of the house where no one lives has been destroyed, what basis can you prove that this house is yours?" ”

This rhetorical question, the old lady was dumbfounded, and looked at Ah Zhi in a daze: "Ah Zhi! ”

Ah Zhi hurriedly took the deed in the old lady's arms, and coldly threw it in front of the arrogant and arrogant catcher: "The deed is here, why can't you prove it?" ”

The arrogant and arrogant catcher smiled, very disdainful, and walked away with a light glance, not looking at the yellowed paper and rough corners.

coldly threw away a sentence: "The government does not approve of it!" ”

Catch Kuai snorted coldly in his heart, can the matter of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds be mentioned on the bright side?

Naturally...... No, never.

He laughed insidiously, but in the eyes of others, they didn't know what he was laughing at! And why laugh!

Ah Zhi knew that she was put on the spot, she didn't feel sorry for the silver, but the old lady was in pain! I'm afraid that now the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all pumped.

The perpetrator of the arson case has been apprehended, but he is a stupid fifteen-year-old man, fatherless and motherless, who wanders the streets like a wandering ghost.

The face is full of snot bubbles, the face is full of dust, when sober, you can still recognize one, two, three, when you are confused, you don't know anything, only babbling, chattering fingers.

Not to mention that appearance, when Ah Zhi went to the government instead of the old lady, he came back and was still nauseous for three or four days, and he didn't want to be okay, so he finished playing when he thought about it.

What is surprising is that the government does not say a word about the burned houses, but instead resettles them in the homeless area, and there are only a handful of displaced people on the slopes three feet away from the city.

The old lady was silent for several days, and she ate very little, and she was seriously ill, and she lay on the two wooden beds with a gossamer, and it was even more difficult to breathe.

Knowing that his fate was not long in coming, he took out all his savings in his arms and waited for Ah Zhi to come back.

Ah Zhi has been out to observe the slope of the homeless people for the past few days, because he is concerned about the old lady, he is really not at ease, so he hurried back from Zaozhuang and went back to Zaozhuang, but what caught his eye was the tattered and dirty, blackened bloodstains, and the black and red blood clinging to the loess stimulated the eyes.

Zaozhuang was ransacked by thieves on the second day after they left, and there were few survivors, the family's money, rice, and noodles were robbed, and the handsome female relatives were also knocked out and taken away, whether they had children or widows, or women who were pregnant with Liujia, they were taken away.

According to the arrest of some news, that is the capital perennial pursuit of thieves, because of the arrest back to the prison, this side just turned around, there are people robbed the prison, out of the window, to this day, no one has encountered the thief a little bit, let him do a lot of evil, fish the people, rob the people.

When he came back, it was already twilight, and the full moon hung high in the sky, gently pushing away from the small courtyard, and when he arrived in the house, only the moonlight refracted from the broken window was like silver water.

Ah Zhi tiptoed to light the candlestick, and the room was much brighter in an instant, and the shadows were vague, the breeze came from the window, and the yellow candle lamp shook gently, refracting the figures in the room and the shadows of the dilapidated furniture.

The old lady took her last breath, she leaned against the edge of the bed, and a pillow made of straw was cushioned on her back, and a little straw whiskers peeked out from the patched pillow towel, and the rustling of straw could be heard from the slight side.

"Ah Zhi, I'm back!"

His tone was hoarse, and his eyes were dim, and the breath he was carrying slowly passed.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing that it was wrong, Ah Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to probe if there were any symptoms of fever in the forehead, but when he touched the forehead, there was no doubt about the frost of the cold winter wax moon.

"I'm going to boil water......"

Ah Zhi just got up and was about to boil hot water for the old lady to drink and warm her body, but the emaciated little hand was held by a calloused hand.

"Don't be busy, sit down and talk to me!"
