Chapter 12: Uncle Chang's Past
Mama Jin heard from the neighbors that Uncle Qi's craftsmanship is good, and he makes a lot of money in the other three seasons of the year, and he can earn some wages. Although it is winter, and Uncle Qi often can't get work for several days, his life seems to be good.
Uncle Qi is very good, cheerful, and kind-hearted. Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin just moved in, they were poor and white, they had nothing to do, and they had to help the elderly.
Mama Jin and the two began to do laundry work, and often washed Uncle Qi's clothes together. When the clothes are torn and need to be mended or something, they will do it easily.
I don't know if it's Ye Xinyan's illusion, I always feel that Uncle Qi is different from the other people in this courtyard, with a cheerful personality and a little indifference, and he doesn't care much about many things.
Today's Uncle Qi is pondering the two unidentified women next door.
These days, the two women are most worried about the household registration problem, and the young woman named Ye Zi is very much in the eyes of Uncle Qi, she is a hearty and intelligent child, maybe he can let them have a reasonable household registration identity. By the way, they can also help him fulfill his wish.
Uncle Qi's name is Qi Younian, he left home in a bad mood when he was a teenager, wandered outside alone, and made a group of brothers.
He and his brothers helped each other, relied on their own skills, and did a good job in the business of building houses, and lived a good life for a few years.
However, people can't compare to their lives after all, and poor people, no matter how hard they work and try, they can't resist the casual thoughts of powerful people.
Their brother had been operating in Suicheng in the south for nearly ten years, thinking that he had established himself in that business. However, the brother-in-law of a big local squire happened to learn that they led a group of mud legs, did hard work, and could earn a lot of money, so he wanted to calculate their livelihood.
It's ridiculous that they were young at the time, thinking that the sky was blue and white, their own livelihood, if they were unwilling to give up, even if the other party had power, could they still rob it?
Even if they rob by force, they also have a few familiar officials in the local yamen, how can they let them succeed casually? No matter how bad it is, there are so many brothers under him, what is there to fear?
It was this idea that sent several of their brothers who had passed their lives into a desperate situation.
In the blue sky, of course, people will not snatch it openly, and if they can't discuss it, they will use other means. Qi Younian thought that the precautions were in place, but he missed his own brother.
The heart is separated from the belly. Many people usually don't see anything, even brothers who can make friends and can be trusted. But if you face enough temptation, you can see the hidden nature of a person.
At that time, they were taking over the construction of a big house, and the sixth child who worshipped with them was a carpenter. The sixth child was bought by a large household, and while people were unprepared, he did tricks and feet on the main beams of several rooms.
At that time, it was well disguised, and there were no hidden dangers in the house at all, and it was not until it was about to be completed that several rooms in the mansion had accidents one after another, killing three workers and injuring several others.
This is a big project, and if there is an accident in so many rooms, it is enough to compensate the brothers for bankruptcy. But the owner didn't dare to take over the rest of the houses that didn't have an accident, and finally had to tear them all down.
The seven brothers in charge of their affairs not only scattered their family wealth was not enough to compensate the main family, but also got into a lawsuit because they injured people's lives.
It wasn't until the six men were imprisoned that they realized that there was one less person around them. Then think that all the accidents are because of the main beam, what else can't you understand.
Six people were sentenced to 10 years in the army, and only two came back in the end.
When Qi Younian and his fourth brother returned to Suicheng and found the thief who betrayed their brother with hatred, they found that the man was unbearable to witness and lived on the streets, not like a person at all. The six of their brothers are in the army, but they can still patrol and kill the enemy at the border in a healthy way, even if the four brothers are gone, they are also men who stand up to the sky and die on the battlefield, even if they are insignificant soldiers, they are also killed for defending the country.
And this thief, their sixth oldest, was paralyzed on two legs and crawled and begged in the streets. The whole person was skinny, dirty, and not human-looking.
Qi Younian saw the once burly sixth man crawling on the ground with his body twisted, and suddenly thought of the words retribution. The hatred that was full of hatred disappeared strangely at that moment, leaving only full of sadness.
It was for this result that the six brothers killed by this bastard were imprisoned and confiscated, and four of them died at the border.
The sixth child saw the two pairs of tattered boots in front of him, and raised his head with great difficulty. The feeling of déjà vu puzzled him for a long time, and then he recognized them as fearful as hell as if he had seen a ghost, and these two angry people were his former brothers.
Qi Younian's fourth brother raised his foot and wanted to kick the thief, but he stopped him.
Qi Younian had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, "You don't have to worry about a dog." He's not even as alive as a dog now, so let him live like that. That's good, the brothers in the underground are afraid that they will see his fate early, maybe the four brothers are celebrating at this time, where are you still kicking him with your dirty feet. ”
After a moment of fear, Lao Liu didn't think about running away, but he met him. He crawled over to the ground stiffly, hugged Qi Younian's leg and didn't let go, the howling sound in his mouth was so miserable that it almost made people feel that he was in hell now.
"Big brother! Eldest brother! I'm not human, I don't deserve to be human, I deserve to die. You killed me, killed me to avenge my brothers, and I am willing to forgive my sins with death. Big brother, please, please kill me, kill me......"
The sixth man howled hysterically repeatedly, begging Qi Younian to kill him one after another, and kept opening and closing his mouth, revealing a few scattered teeth, showing what kind of inhuman life he had experienced.
Qi Younian's cold eyes flashed with disgust, he kicked the thief away, and said coldly: "If you want me to kill you, you are not worthy." Lao Tzu was blind back then, and recognized you as a wolf-hearted brother, how can he do wrong things now? If I kill you, won't you be freed? You live well, you must live a long life. You live long enough for the four brothers under Lao Tzu to be satisfied and celebrate every day. ”
After listening to Qi Younian's words, the sixth child stopped howling in a daze, and muttered in his mouth: "The four brothers underground ......, and the four brothers underground ......" repeated several times before he suddenly raised his head, "Big brother, big brother, what about them?" Where are the four of them? ”
The fourth child spat viciously, "The four of them are watching you underground, seeing that you are doing so well, and they are happy for you." The fourth said, squatted down, gritted his teeth and asked, "I'm strange, since you want to die so much, and you want to forgive your sins with death, why are you still alive, not as good as a dog?" ”
Qi Younian pulled the fourth child up and sneered: "Do you still need to ask?" He is a bad seed, he is afraid that he will not want to live for a long time, but it is a pity that he does not have the courage to break himself, but he wants others to fulfill him, what a good dream! ”
Qi Younian pulled the fourth child, and when he was about to turn around, he said to the people lying on the ground: "You don't have to feel guilty about the four of them, they don't need you to forgive their sins with death, they are much better off than you." When they are alive, they are better than you, and you can't compare to the way they die, they die heroically and deservingly. ”
