A seemingly unbelievable family matter was dissolved with a slight wave of the golden knife ke.

Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng had to have a sincere admiration for the Golden Knife Ke, although the three of them did not live together for a long time, and there was still a little unsolvable knots and estrangements in their hearts, but the facts in front of them made the grandfather and grandson temporarily let go of the worries in their hearts.

At this time, Lai Liu and Jin Ya's family had already packed the packages scattered on the ground and followed the golden knife all the way north. Even the little golden flower jumped with joyful steps, took the hand of the golden swordman and walked side by side, cheering briskly all the way.

The grandfather and grandson hesitated for a moment, and immediately picked up the scattered bags and followed.

While walking, Xiao Jinhua suddenly broke free from the hand of the golden knife and rushed in front of Li Qiusheng. Immediately stretched out a tender little hand and pulled it on Li Qiusheng's palm, and moved her chubby little mouth, "Brother Qiusheng, Xiao Jinhua wants to go with you, is it okay?" ”

Li Qiusheng didn't guard against the little golden flower coming to this hand, but his mind bred the appearance of the blue and white embroidered building Xiao Qingyi. In this situation, he posed again with the image of a deflated man in the city in the past, and pulled up the little golden flower and walked on the mountain stream path disapprovingly.

The six of them walked for two more days and came to the boundary of Gushan County.

Seeing that it was getting late, the golden knife guest turned around and said to Old Man Dong, "Brother Dong, you see that we have a day's journey on the road, don't be thirsty or tired, it's far away from the county seat." Night is approaching, why don't you find a nearby farmer's home to stay and rest for a while, and then leave tomorrow morning? ”

Old Man Dong immediately looked around, only to feel that the curtain was drooping and the fog was thick. Tiredness and sleepiness had already swept over everyone, and they knew that it would be difficult to continue their journey if they continued to walk, so they had to obey the idea of the golden knifeman.

The six of them had a certain idea, and the golden knife man led everyone to the village near the roadside.

Although the village on the edge is a village, it is actually just a few scattered families at the head and end of the village. At night, after the initial figure, it was pitch black, and the sound was as quiet as a gong.

The Golden Knife Man just wanted to find a farmer in such a remote and marginal area before it got dark. Avoid everyone's pain of walking in the dark, let these five people sleep comfortably, and enter the city tomorrow.

Approaching the end of the village at the foot of the mountain, a courtyard with several thatched huts scattered together appeared in front of the six people. The courtyard is not large, the fence is fenced, and the stone platform and stone bench built up by the stone block look very chic.

In the courtyard, an old woman was bowing her head on a dustpan, dividing the severed medicine stalk and putting it into the clay pot next to it. Next to her, an old hen with loose wings and three or four half-winged chicks chirping, scattered around the old woman. Wisps of white smoke were still rising from the hut on the left behind, as if something was boiling.

The golden knife knocked on the door and entered the courtyard to salute the old woman, "Eldest sister, you are okay." The brothers are strangers who happened to pass by your village in a hurry, and it was difficult to continue the trip because it was getting late. So I begged for a night and stayed overnight, I don't know if the eldest sister's family can allow it? ”

The old woman looked at it carefully, and hurriedly put down the medicine stalk in her hand and returned the salute. "Brother, I can't hide it. It is convenient for you to stay at my house, for fear that you will dislike the old woman's husband and now fall into this disgusting and painful disease, and disturb each other at night, and it will be difficult to sleep comfortably. ”

"No, no, eldest sister, it's a blessing to have your convenience, how dare you dislike the master's illness. In this way, we will thank the eldest sister, I am sorry for bothering you to entertain you. The golden knife man saluted again, hugged his fists and thanked him, and let the four people behind him into the courtyard with a greeting.

Li Qiusheng was so anxious that he went straight to the room arranged by the old woman, and when he saw that he was lying in bed, he lay down, and closed his eyes beautifully, "It would be even more refreshing if I could have another delicious meal." Old Man Dong followed behind and sneered, "Boy, are you hungry and stupid or are you really pretending to be stupid." It's almost a wilderness, it's good to have you live and you eat, and you still think about delicious food, it's better to dream, don't be embarrassed here. ”

Li Qiusheng suddenly stared at Old Man Dong with hatred, and said heartlessly, "People are just talking, do you need to be so serious?" ”

After Old Man Dong cleaned up everything in the room, he saw that Li Qiusheng was still lying on the bed like a dead pig, so angry that he grabbed Li Qiusheng's ear with one hand and often went out. He scolded hatefully, "Boy, let you sleep, let you go to the truth." ”

In the stove room, the old woman saw the two men coming one after the other. Li Qiusheng showed a painful look that he couldn't struggle anymore, and he was so anxious that he opened Old Man Dong's hand and said. "Brother, if there is anything wrong with the young man, you should weigh it up, and you can't solve it by force. Hey, forget it, you are guests when you enter our house, how can you let the guests eat by themselves. Old Man Dong argued anxiously, "Sister, don't say that, or a few of us will be guilty, and it's good to let this kid do his hands." With that, he pushed hard and pushed Li Qiusheng into the stove room.

Li Qiusheng straightened up and looked at the inside of the stove room, which was extremely simple. Except for a few bowls of gruel boiling in a broken iron pot and a plate of dry and hard steamed buns by the stove, half of the other ingredients are nowhere to be seen. After being stunned for a while, Li Qiusheng looked directly at Old Man Dong resentfully and muttered, "Look, there are no dishes, how can I help." ”

Suddenly. Old Man Dong was also shocked, because he really couldn't imagine that the old woman's home was so pale.

The old woman sighed as if she suddenly understood the thoughts of the two of them, and suddenly said again and again. "Don't worry, I'll come when I go, you wait here." After the words fell, he turned and fled, and after a while he turned back again, but there was already an old hen in his hand that was chirping and croaking.

Old Man Dong was shocked, and it was too late to stop him. The old woman directly put the old hen in Li Qiusheng's hand, twisted the head of the chicken, and cut it with a knife. Chicken blood splattered out in all directions, staining red.

At the dinner, the old woman first scooped a bowl of chicken soup and sent it to her husband's room, and then came out to invite everyone to the banquet.

At this time, I heard the old woman's scolding from the bedroom. "Old woman, what kind of sin have you created? The old hen that the great benefactor gave to our family to maintain their health was all for you to kill. Did your conscience let the dog eat? I can't eat even if I'm starving, so you can bring the chicken soup back. The six were startled and immediately stopped in the middle. glanced at each other, and looked at the old woman in the middle.

I saw the old woman walking quickly into her husband's room with an expressionless face, and the noise inside became louder and more intense. Then the old woman brought out the chicken soup with tears in her eyes, and the room was peaceful for a while.

The six of them had lost their appetite, and they all stared at the old woman who slowly entered the table with chicken soup with wide eyes. The golden knife man and the old man Dong were just about to say something, but the old woman had already covered the sadness in her heart and spoke first.

"Three years ago, our family was attacked by a gang of bandits. That night, they killed my son and snatched my daughter-in-law. If it weren't for my husband and wife being protected by my son and daughter-in-law, I am afraid that my husband and wife and this family would also be burned down by them. After that, the old man of my family fell into this disease, and when the cold wind and rain were cold, he would inevitably have a seizure, and he would be in great pain. Until last year, I was plundered by ruffians and villains, but fortunately I was rescued by a great hero, who took pity on my poor family and had no tile. The surplus money was used to repair the old woman's thatched mushrooms, and two hens were specially bought for poultry. ”

After a slight pause, the old woman sighed and said again. "It's a pity, it's a pity, good people don't have good rewards. The old woman heard that Nadi Daxia was captured by bullies and official designs last month, and the day after tomorrow she was sentenced to behead the public at the entrance of the county government vegetable market. My empty old man heard that he was exhausted, and in the past few months, he has been so angry that his old illness has relapsed, and he has been sad again and again. Now that I have taken the liberty of killing the old hen that my benefactor sent to stay for the elderly, it is no wonder that the old man is so angry. It's a pity that our husband and wife couldn't save the great benefactor, otherwise they would have to fight even if they gave up their old lives. ”

When the six of them heard the old woman say so compassionately, their hearts were full of feelings. was so ashamed that Li Qiusheng almost cried on the spot, and the regret in his heart made him want to slap himself twice.

Old Man Dong was so angry that his blood was boiling. He glared at Li Qiusheng fiercely, as if to say that if it weren't for your kid talking too much in the stove room, he wouldn't have made it like this. The golden swordsman on the side was naturally angry, and his teeth rang out with hatred. Even the half-gnawed chicken leg in Xiao Jinhua's mouth was put aside, Lai Liu and Jin Ya didn't have to say anything, tears had already flooded the river in their hearts.

The dinner was soon hastily ended in desolation and anger, and everyone cleaned up together, freshened up, and entered their respective rooms depressedly, and what could not be said was the sullen feeling in their hearts.

The cold moon suddenly hung in the sky, revealing a half-curved crescent. It makes people feel cold and alive, like a sharp knife hanging from the waist.

Old Man Dong and the Golden Knife Ke sat opposite each other on the stone table in the courtyard, chatting quietly and whispering. Other than that, the night sky is a thick black scene.

The next day, the old woman hadn't woken up yet, Dong, Jin, and Li, the three of them had quietly changed their clothes and went on the road, leaving only Lai Liu's family.

When the sky was bright, the old woman got up and disappeared from the three of them, so she hurriedly searched everywhere. He was still muttering whether he had treated the guests slowly, so that people could say goodbye.

At this time, Lai Liucai replied truthfully. "Granny Liu, don't blame yourself. The three of them, that's so stingy. are all people who have been in the rivers and lakes, so naturally they will not be restrained and blame you. ”

The old woman seemed to be puzzled and disbelieving and said, "Girl, why don't you go with the three of them?" You're not here to make us happy, are you? ”

Jin Ya smiled heartily, "Granny Liu, don't worry about it, they will plan everything for you." In the future, we will be your daughters and daughters-in-law, and my daughter will be your godgranddaughter. ”

The old woman was suddenly shocked, and all the work she was holding fell to the ground.

Standing there, his eyes covered with a thick layer of tears.
