Chapter 4: The Man in Black
Aunt Ying let go of Lin Zifu's hand, took off the money bag hidden in her sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to the first-class Kou hand closest to them, and said, "Please be gracious, this is all our belongings, just ask the master to let us go of our mother-in-law and grandchildren." ”
Liukou weighed the silver in the money bag and said with satisfaction, "Do you still have it on you?" ”
Aunt Ying waved her hand again and again and said with a sad face: "Master, this is all the belongings on us, even if we are given a hundred guts, we don't dare to hide the silver." ”
Probably because the scar on Aunt Ying's face looked too hideous, and Liukou waved his hand and said impatiently: "Squat down." ”
The other dozen or so people also "honestly" handed over the money.
The people who thought they would be safe after paying the silver, but the leader of the rogue said loudly: "Search every room for me, if you find the silver in the room, hehe......." ”
The laughter is very cold, and the meaning in the middle is self-evident, if you find the silver, you are afraid that your life will be lost.
Lin Zifu was terrified, and prayed over and over again that the hidden silver would not be discovered, and that she couldn't just die like this in her first life.
The two of them were escorted by one of the rogues to their sleeping room.
The two were forced to stand in the middle of the room, and the rogues went in and rummaged through the bed and under the bed, even under the table and under the stool.
Very nervous, her palms were full of sweat, Lin Zifu was really scared, and she didn't dare to look at the location of the flower pots.
Liukou looked around and didn't find it, looked at Lin Zifu with squinting eyes, and snorted coldly at Aunt Ying: "You go out." ”
Lin Zifu's heart tightened, and she looked at the rogue in fear, who was afraid that she just wanted to scare her.
Aunt Ying smiled and said, "My granddaughter is still young. ”
Liukou slapped Aunt Ying's face, and scolded: "Shut up for me, it's disgusting to see this scar on your face, look at this dress is a dead man, they are all married and say they are young." ”
Lin Zifu is not a little white, she knows very well what she is going to do next, and she retreats again and again and begs for mercy: "Big brother, please let me go, I'm only thirteen." ”
Liukou obviously didn't believe it, and even if it was thirteen, people like them, who licked blood on the tip of the knife, still cared about this: "Lord will love you well." ”
Lin Zifu wanted to escape, but Liukou directly pulled out the knife on her waist, which frightened her and quickly stopped.
Aunt Ying was forced out of the room by the rogue.
Luck can't be so bad, right? Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Zifu's mind, the fear in her heart became deeper and deeper, and she retreated to the corner of the house step by step, there was nothing in this room that could be used as a weapon, and even she thought, it's a big deal to die, and she can't let the rogue spoil it.
Liukou closed the door, with a lewd smile on his face, and walked towards Lin Zifu step by step.
Every step Liukou took was undoubtedly a death knell on Lin Zifu's chest at this moment, it seemed that when Liukou walked to her side, the death knell stopped, and she also died, wanting to stay away from this hateful man, but there was already a wall behind her.
Just as the rogues reached the center of the house, a man in black suddenly jumped down from the beam.
The man in black descended from the sky like a divine soldier, and the sword in his hand stabbed directly into Liukou's chest, and Liukou fell directly to the ground.
Lin Zifu stared at the man in black with wide eyes and surprise, when did there be one more person in this room? And the man in black descended from heaven like a divine soldier, which made her feel a little more grateful.
But in the blink of an eye, she trembled, and for the first time she saw a human life just gone, the impact was too great, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth that wanted to scream.
"You...... Who are you. He asked as he looked at the man in black with a trembling voice.
There was a sound of fighting outside, the man in black glanced back at Lin Zifu, his eyes were facing each other, Lin Zifu was frightened when he saw that cold eyes, all this happened in an instant, the man turned his head and opened the door and rushed out.
Aunt Ying entered the house, and when she saw that Lin Zifu was fine, she hugged her, and comforted her with palpitations: "It's okay." ”
The two of them huddled in the room, not daring to go out, and when there was no sound outside, it was already dawn.
The old coachman rushed into the house, found the two huddled in the corner, and said, "Let's go." ”
Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying came back to their senses, hurriedly packed their bags, took the money bag hidden under the flower pot, and hurriedly rushed out.
There were several corpses in the courtyard, and the corpse of the shopkeeper was among them, the scene was too bloody, and the three of them got into the carriage and left in a panic.
After walking a long way, the coachman lifted the curtain and said in fear: "Our luck is really bad, we didn't expect to meet the rogue, fortunately the group of people in black came in time, but unfortunately the silver is gone." ”
Lin Zifu didn't say that she still had silver, and nothing happened along the way.
On the third day, the carriage stopped outside a village.
The coachman urged the two men to get out of the carriage.
Aunt Ying frowned slightly, looked around and asked, "Where are you?" ”
The coachman pointed to the village not far ahead: "Follow this road directly to the village, Madame asked me to bring a message to you, don't let outsiders know your identity." ”
Lin Zifu sneered in her heart when she heard this, was she afraid of falling into the hands of others, and she didn't dare to let outsiders know who they were.
But that's fine, live your own life in the future, and wait until you have the money to make other plans.
The coachman left with the carriage, and Aunt Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, we will enter the village now." ”
Lin Zifu pursed her lips, glanced at the direction where the coachman left, and said, "Why didn't he send us to the village." ”
Aunt Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head: "The coachman probably got the order of his wife, and he doesn't want the people in the village to know who you are, why do you think the Zhou family is willing to give us here?" Not only because of the remoteness, but also because of the distant relatives of their family who live here, the land has been planted for distant relatives for several years, and the house is not inhabited, but I think the tattered ones are not inhabitable. ”
This news hit Lin Zifu's head like a big stick, the Zhou family is really ruthless! If you don't have a place to live, the land may not be recovered, so you can ignore the two of them here, the situation of the old and the young in such an environment can be imagined.
"Their family really wants me to die." For the first time, hatred welled up in my heart.
Aunt Ying sighed: "Why don't you want me to die with you, I am the nurse of the son, this scar is also injured because of saving the son, Mrs. Zhou didn't drive me away because the son pleaded, but now the son is gone, so let me come here with you, clearly tell me to monitor your every move, and not let you do something that insults the lintel of the Zhou family, in fact, I want to make the two of us wait for death, the autumn harvest has passed, we only have less than three taels of silver, how difficult it is to survive this winter." ”
Lin Zifu was very angry in her heart, and said angrily: "Since they want us to die, we just won't die, Granny Ying, don't worry, I won't let you go hungry, go, let's go into the village now." ”
The houses in the village are very dilapidated, and the houses in the village are all dilapidated, and the houses with uniform thatched roofs and adobe walls do not even have courtyard walls.
When the people of the village saw a stranger entering the village, they all came out to see the strangeness.
Aunt Ying and Lin Zifu didn't know that it was the courtyard of the Zhou family, so they could only ask people.
Fortunately, the people in the village were kinder, and they quickly found the broken yard left by the Zhou family.
Just seeing the courtyard in front of them, both of them were shocked.
