Chapter 249: Zhang Kuo's Past
When Zhang Kuo came back, he saw He Mai sitting alone in the courtyard, looking at the cloth shoes on the soles of his feet in a daze.
"Why are you alone in a daze?" He walked over slowly, asking with a leisurely expression.
He Mai looked up at him, saw that there was no one else beside him, and said vaguely: "Grandma is resting in the house, I am afraid of disturbing her." Why did you come back by yourself, Second Brother Ma? ”
Zhang Kuo smiled, half-truths and half-truths: "He was defeated by my men just now, and he went back to study martial arts." ”
He Mai raised his eyebrows, tilted his chin very cooperatively, and smiled at him.
Zhang Kuo stood in front of her, didn't sit down, didn't speak, put his hands in front of his chest, and looked at He Mai with blazing eyes, "Why are you a little sullen?" Don't you miss your family Rokuro? ”
He Mai lifted his head, shook his head and said, "No, I'm thinking about something...... Want to make something for dinner. ”
"You really love to eat," Zhang Kuo looked at her in amazement, "I haven't seen a woman from any family more willing to eat than you." ”
He Mai muttered: "You just say I'm greedy, I know I'm greedy, you don't have to beat around the bush to talk about me." ”
"It's a blessing to be able to eat, not to scold you." Zhang Kuo looked at her whispering complaints, smiled, and sat beside her.
"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, aren't you going back to eat for dinner?" He Mai looked at Zhang Kuo and asked.
Her original plan was to invite Zhang Kuo to have lunch, but she didn't expect that Zhang Kuo would not leave after lunch, and now she is back, obviously with the intention of staying for dinner.
"Who am I spending my reunion night with? Are the officials in the yamen? Zhang Kuo stared at her and asked lazily.
He Mai was stunned, "What about your family?" ”
"I don't have a family," Zhang Kuo smiled, "Do I look like a family person?" ”
Hemai's eyes widened slightly, "Your parents ......"
"Died early." Zhang Kuo said lightly.
He turned his head, and the lines of his cheeks were a little lonely that could not be concealed, "Since I was a child, my sister raised me. ”
"What about your sister?" He Mai couldn't help but ask.
After being silent for a while, Zhang Kuo replied, "I'm dead too." ”
His expression was still leisurely, but now it was a little cold and indifferent.
He Mai was silent, and when he saw Zhang Kuo's expression, he didn't dare to ask anything more.
But Zhang Kuo didn't continue to be silent, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "It was killed by the people of Li Jiazhuang." ”
"Li Jiazhuang!?" He Mai was taken aback and his eyes widened.
She seemed to vaguely understand why Zhang Kuo's reaction was so violent when tracking down those men in black.
"Yes, Li Jiazhuang."
Speaking of the three words of Li Jiazhuang, Zhang Kuo's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his superb eyes were also quenched with coldness.
He spoke again, his voice as calm as possible, a rustling voice with a hint of nostalgia in it.
"My sister...... She is a gentle and virtuous woman, and her skills are very good, especially the porridge she cooks, I can drink three bowls. The corners of his lips were warmly hooked, his eyes were in the air, and he fell into a good memory, "At that time, she had just gotten married, and my brother-in-law was an honest but reliable man, and he treated her very well." My sister likes children very much, and if it weren't for this accident, she would have become a mother a long time ago, and I would have been an uncle a long time ago. ”
He smiled bitterly, "At that time, I left home for business and went to the imperial capital, and the gang in Lijiazhuang somehow set their sights on my sister, and when they targeted her, they played arrogantly, saying that they would take her to Lijiazhuang to be a concubine. My brother-in-law came forward and got into a fight with Li Jiazhuang and his gang, and was killed on the spot. ”
"My sister was frightened, I heard the neighbors next to the house say that she shouted her brother-in-law's name, her voice was broken, and when she was taken away by the gang in Lijiazhuang, she grabbed my brother-in-law's body and didn't let go, and her ten fingers were clasped on the ground, all blood marks......"
He Mai had never seen Zhang Kuo look so sad.
He tilted his head, and there were no tears in his eyes, but they were full of pain and hatred......
"Later, she was taken into Lijiazhuang, and when she was thrown out the next day, she was already tortured and unhuman......" His voice changed suddenly, with severe pain and hatred, and the angry voice made people's backs chill.
"I hate why I wasn't there at that time, I hate why I learned kung fu, but in the end I couldn't protect my favorite relatives, but what I hate the most is the group of brutes in Lijiazhuang!" The lines of Zhang Kuo's face crumbled tightly, and his fists were clenched as hard as iron bumps.
"And what about when you come back? Did you go to Lijiazhuang to find out the person who killed your sister? He Mai asked.
Scold...... Zhang Kuo's laughter was filled with a sense of despair and powerlessness.
"Li Jiazhuang bullied men and women in Yong'an Town, and reported to the court in the morning for his evil deeds, but the court ordered that no action should be done to Li Jiazhuang. Li Jiazhuang, who has done so many evil things, is so powerful that I can't even find out the enemies and sacrifice my sister and brother-in-law with their blood! ”
Zhang Kuo's voice was so sad and indignant, and He Mai also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling sorry for him.
She sat up straight, looked at Zhang Kuo, and said in a sincere and firm voice: "It's not that I don't report it, the time has not come!" Li Jiazhuang, who has such evil deeds, how can the court not care about it? There must be some big plan in the works! Zhang Kuo, I believe in you, you must have the day when you can use the blood of these bad guys to pay tribute to your sister and brother-in-law! ”
After she said this, she seemed to be still angry, and said firmly: "Even if it was difficult at that time, don't worry, there is me!" I'll help you catch those bad guys! ”
Zhang Kuo stared at He Mai's face in a daze, seeing that her plain and fair little face was full of seriousness and straightforwardness, and the strings in her heart seemed to have been played by something.
He looked away and whispered: "Over the years, I have been investigating and visiting this part of Qinglu Village, trying to learn the specific descriptions of those villains from the mouths of the villagers who witnessed them that day, and now, I have almost understood it. ”
His five fingers slowly came together, clenching some kind of belief into his fist, "If I see those people, I will break them into pieces!" ”
"That's right, 10,000 pieces of corpses!" He Mai also said indignantly.
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly went to persuade Zhang Kuo, "This revenge must be avenged, but you still have to be calm." If you do see those villains on the road, you can't just rush up! Think of another way, trick them into one place, and then catch them one by one! In this way, it will not expose yourself and cause unnecessary trouble, right? ”
Zhang Kuo looked at her serious way of giving advice to herself, and smiled, the smile on her lips with a warmth that he had never seen before.
"How could I tell you this?" He looked at Hemai and muttered.
