Chapter 8 The Sorrows of the World

"Daughter-in-law...", the poor man slowly walked towards the woman lying motionless on the bed, like a child who had made a mistake, and was a little at a loss.

She said... You're dead? The poor man gasped for breath, his attention was all on his wife, and said, "Get up! Let her see. Daughter-in-law? Daughter-in-law?! ”

His trembling hands slowly reached out to the woman.

"Ahh The poor man wailed.

I saw the woman who was turned over, her face was pale, and her face was already covered with corpse spots. The cold moonlight hit his face, but he couldn't wake up this eternally sleeping man.

"Daughter-in-law... Women and children? The poor man cried out to the woman with a trembling cry, and he could not believe that the man lying on the bed was no longer human.

"Wake up! Wake up! I... Take you... Go eat the old Chen's Yangchun noodles! You haven't eaten it yet! The man finally couldn't hold back his tears.

......

Lao Chen put the chairs on the floor of the noodle shop on the table, and the floor was cleaned.

Lin Feng and Zhao Yan sat together, drinking the wine calmly, the wine was drunk, and Lao Chen's work was done.

"Does it hurt?" Zhao Yan suddenly spoke, and the voice was indescribably indifferent.

Lao Chen was expressionless when he heard this, and slowly turned around.

Lin Feng looked at this Zhao Yan, and saw that the temperament on his body had changed at some point, and his cultivation looked even more unfathomable. At this time, he was sitting there with a precarious position, looking at this old Chen lightly.

"Did I say it hurts to cut your head?"

Lin Feng frowned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that they were chatting casually, and during the day yesterday, someone was killed at Nanshikou. Mo not...

"Sort of! Hehe..."Lao Chen raised his head, watched the cold moonlight enter the room, and smiled, "Think about it." Tomorrow the girl will be out of the cabinet, hehe... I don't feel any pain! ”

Lin Feng sighed when he heard this, only to hear Zhao Yan next to him say, "You are like a good person." ”

"I'm a good person." Lao Chen said calmly.

"But you slashed the necks of two people with a knife."

......

At the same time, in the cold room, the poor man knelt beside the earthen kang, unable to cry.

"Brother! I'm not going to tease you. Come with me! Yes? Brothers? Come with me! "It is rare for the old woman to get serious, stop joking, and persuade the poor man.

The poor man was now delirious, and his eyes wandered back and forth, not knowing what to find. When he heard the old woman say this, he subconsciously said, "I, why should I go with you?" I've got to find someone to eat! Do I still have to work? I, I still have to support my family. ”

"You don't have to work to support your family, your wife is dead." The old woman persuaded aloud, her voice gentle, wanting to calm the heart that had nowhere to put it.

The poor man shook his head, "No! She's not dead! As long as I work to earn money to buy her delicious food and medicine, she will be fine! There was a little firmness in her tone, for fear that the old woman would say that her daughter-in-law was dead.

He couldn't take it!

He couldn't take it!

The old woman stood behind him, her figure a little blurred, but the voice was still very clear, "Brother! You don't have to suffer anymore. I'm not a ghost! You're the ghost! ”

"Boom!" The fragments of memory in the poor man's head all desperately emerged.

The old woman's voice was also a little sad, and she said to the poor man, "Look up at the roof!" Isn't that you? ”

The poor man slowly raised his head, and saw a white silk hanging from the roof, on which hung a man dressed in a coarse cloth coat and a small yar-capped hat, with his eyes closed. His face was painless, but his face was sad, his hands were weak, as if he was telling others that he no longer had the ability to beat the gong, and he could no longer bring back a bowl of Yangchun noodles from the old Chen family to his daughter-in-law.

"Alas... The way of the world! The old woman sighed.

Only then did the poor man know that he had been dead for a long time. He sat down, and the sorrow in his heart was not spoken, and he began to sob.

The old woman walked up to him and squatted down, "Brother! I know you're bitter! Lost job! I can't afford to raise a daughter-in-law. You don't want to live anymore, big sister take you away. You've had enough of suffering in your life. In the next life, cast a good baby. Yes? ”

"Woo woo woo woo ...," the poor man cried.

......

"I'm a good person! But I'm also a poor man. Tomorrow my daughter is going to leave the cabinet, I, as a father, have to prepare a decent dowry for my daughter, right? Lao Chen squinted his eyes and said softly.

Zhao Yan said expressionlessly: "You have no money, so you borrowed a loan from Lao Wu." ”

"Hehe..."Lao Chen smiled and continued: "I can only fill my stomach by relying on this small noodle restaurant. Not a single point more. ”

"Even if the dowry is a little smaller?" Zhao Yan said.

"That's not going to work!" Lao Chen affirmed, "My daughter! Weak body. I can't serve my in-laws. So I want to prepare a dowry that is a little bit chong (four tones), and after passing the door, my daughter will not be bullied. My daughter and I have been with me for so many years, and I haven't had a good life. ”

Lao Chen sighed, pointed to the air and said, "They forced me to pay back the money, what about me!" Just earn a little and pay them back. One day, they asked me to come to the door. Lao Chen remembered something unspeakable, and his smiling eyes began to become fierce.

"I'll go! But as soon as I entered the door, I saw the two of them drinking wine and eating meat, laughing while eating! I, I was disgusted when I saw them. What they eat and drink, it is the hard-earned money of the poor. They made me kneel and kowtow to them! Say, "Tell me something good." Lao Chen's eyes became more and more fierce, Lin Feng frowned when he heard it, and his heart seemed to be infected by this Lao Chen.

Suddenly! Lao Chen knelt down as he spoke, his head hit the ground, and he said, "I'll kneel down for them, I'll kowtow to them." I kowtow... I kowtow... But they also said that if you look at my small shop, you can't afford to pay them back. He sold my daughter to the kiln, and he had already agreed with the kiln. They also said, they also said, my daughter was born to be sold. ”

"Bastard! Damn it! Lin Feng stood up, and the aura of violence on his body was permeated.

Zhao Yan also quickly stood up and looked at Lin Feng vigilantly, just because the tables and chairs beside the two of them had disappeared in an instant.

"Haha..."Old Chen laughed miserably, "I beg them!" Don't sell my daughter. But they disagreed. I begged them, and they didn't agree! I begged them and they didn't agree!! ”

"I... I... I. Lao Chen clenched his fists, as if he was holding a knife in his hand, and he was gesturing there, and everyone understood here. The old Wu family was killed by him. The person who was beheaded at Nanshikou was also him.

He died a long time ago! He's a ghost now. It's just that the obsession in my heart is still here, and I want to see his girl get married.

The way of the world! There is no distinction between people and ghosts!

"We are poor! We do our part! We rely on our physical strength to earn money and support our families! We are poor! But we're not brutes! Lao Chen knelt there and roared.

"But you lost your life!" Zhao Yan closed his eyes tightly and couldn't bear to look directly, and when the old Chen words fell, he opened his eyes and said softly.

Old Cheng quickly stood up and yelled at Zhao Yan: "I don't regret it! I killed those who brought tickets, and I saved a lot of poor people like me. After Lao Chen finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Yan fiercely, crawled to pick up Zhao Yan's feet, and wiped Zhao Yan's shoes with his sleeves.

"Lao Chen!" Lin Feng shouted.

Lao Chen ignored Lin Feng, looked at Zhao Yi with straight eyes and said, "This master! Can you do anything? Early tomorrow morning! My daughter is about to leave the cabinet. But I can't see her, can you help me take a look? If you can help me get a look at her, I'm relieved. My daughter's name is 'Phoenix Butterfly'! ”

"Zhao Yan! Do you have to take Lao Chen away today? Don't think I don't know, Lao Chen killed someone, you will definitely let Lao Chen be punished first and then reincarnate! Lin Feng's words seemed to be discussed, but his tone was aggressive.

"The affairs of the underworld have their own rules! Do you want to stop the devil from doing errands? Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly turned white, and his body suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum.
