The deeply stimulated and delirious mud baby was awakened by Qiao Xiaojing's slap, he knelt in front of Qiao Xiaojing, and cried remorsefully: "I killed my mother, I am a beast inferior to a beast, and I have committed such a great rebellious sin, sister, you say, what do you say I should do? Should I die now, go to Huangquan Road to confess my mistake to my mother, and go to the underworld to accompany my mother?"

"This ...... Is this true?" Qiao Xiaojing faced such a major mutation, her thoughts were already in a mess, she didn't know whether to believe the words of the hairy boy in front of her, or rather, she still felt that what the mud baby said was impossible.

"Sister, sister, what should I do, what should I do?" The mud baby hit the ground with her head while crying, and the cry was like a sad music, which went straight into people's internal organs, making people feel cold and cold.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it......" Qiao Xiaojing hugged the grief-stricken mud baby in her arms, patted his back gently, looked ahead hollowly and sadly, tears fell quietly, and hit the mud baby's back silently.

"What do you want?" Qiao Shuangxi, who was leaning to the side, kept staring at the two of them, and seeing that the mud baby's emotions gradually calmed down, he whispered, "This is not a simple matter, it's better to think about it clearly." ”

"What do you say?" Qiao Xiaojing set her eyes on Qiao Shuangxi.

"I," Qiao Shuangxi shook his head and said lightly, "How can I know what to do? Hearing this, my heart is like falling into an ice cave and being frozen, while I seem to be floating in the clouds, fluttering and flickering, without clear thoughts at all, and my mind is blank. ”

"Then you just shut up!" Qiao Xiaojing originally thought that Qiao Shuangxi would come up with some opinions, even if it was a suggestion that was not very useful, but she didn't expect that it would be just a bunch of nonsense in the end, she glared at him in disappointment, and sighed, "This matter is too sudden, you really have to think about it calmly, you have to think about it carefully, and see if you can come up with any solutions to the aftermath......"

"If you want me to say ......" Qiao Shuangxi saw Qiao Xiaojing's eyebrows locked and pondered, but he didn't have an idea, he didn't want to see Qiao Xiaojing fall into a painful struggle.

"Shut up!" Qiao Shuangxi was stopped by Qiao Xiaojing as soon as she spoke, she said, "I know you want to persuade me not to meddle in my affairs, but don't forget, he is now the time when he needs people's attention the most, you can not do it, but I have to do it." ”

"Whatever you want!" Qiao Shuangxi changed his position, trying to make him lie down more comfortably, and at the same time, he could avoid seeing Qiao Xiaojing's tangled expression.

"Sister," the mud baby was still sobbing, he said, "You don't have to embarrass yourself, I know very well what to do, for me, only death is the way to do well, and it has been the same rule for thousands of years that the murderer pays for his life, not to mention that it is his own mother who kills." Think about it, why should a beast like me with no humanity live in the world?"

"Mud baby, don't think nonsense, okay? It's a mess now, you better live in peace for a while, let me think about what to do about this." Don't cry......" Qiao Xiaojing wiped the tears on the mud baby's face and let the mud baby sit beside her.

"I'm confused," after a moment of silence, Qiao Xiaojing suddenly woke up like a dream, she looked at the mud baby and said, "Some things haven't been clarified yet, just thinking about how to save you from punishment." Hurry up, you tell me what's going on, you must be detailed, the more detailed the better, from the time you leave the ancestral hall door to the time you break into a catastrophe, don't omit any details. ”

"You are really," said the mud baby, shaking her head in pain, sighing, "I have committed such a great sin of human and divine anger, and I have no intention of grinding my teeth with you again, so you can leave me alone and let me die, this may be a relief." ”

"What nonsense are you?" Qiao Xiaojing shook the mud baby, stared at him with a pair of sharp eyes, and said very sincerely, "It's easy to die, find a rope to hang yourself, jump into the river and drown, or drink rat poison, or starve to death without eating or drinking, but no matter how you die, you can't bring Aunt Hongxing back to life." Of course, although Aunt Hongxing is dead, she definitely doesn't want you to do stupid things, she doesn't want you to die too, think about it, see if this is what I said?"

"One more point," Qiao Shuangxi, who was staying on the side, interjected again, and he said lightly, "You mud baby feel that you have become a brute without humanity, you don't have the courage to live, and you want to die for a hundred, but I believe that you are just impulsive, or it may be because you were stimulated and couldn't think about it for a while to do this kind of stupid thing......"

"Can you stop going around," Qiao Xiaojing has always disliked Qiao Shuangxi's way of talking, tilted her head and squinted at him, and said a little helplessly, "Who knows what you want to say? ”

"You're dead, what should I do with Aunt Hongxing?" Qiao Shuangxi was very direct this time.

"You," the mud baby suddenly changed her expression as if she had been electrocuted, and pointed at Qiao Shuangxi and said, "What do you mean?

"Don't don't," Qiao Shuangxi hurriedly explained, "You listen to me, I don't mean what you think, you misunderstood me." I want to say that Aunt Hongxing has died, and the urgent thing now is how to deal with her funeral. Think about it, if you look for a short term now, who will take care of Aunt Hongxing? Won't no one take care of it?"

Qiao Xiaojing felt that what Qiao Shuangxi said this time was not unreasonable, she stared at the mud baby and nodded.

"All right," said the mud baby, with a long sigh and a little heaviness, "I say, I'll tell you what I've done." I thought of a lot of gossip in the past, thought of my mother's unusual behavior in the ancestral hall, and ...... It was like a fire burning in my heart, and anger and hatred made me lose my mind, and I rushed out of the ancestral hall like this......"

Niwa told Qiao Xiaojing about the time before and after he killed his mother, Hongxing, and in the end, he couldn't cry again.

"Maybe," Qiao Shuangxi said in a low voice, "What you see is not what you think, my father may just want to say something to your mother, but unfortunately you saw it and misunderstood." ”

"Yes, it's possible. Qiao Xiaojing followed Qiao Shuangxi's words and said, and then the conversation changed, "What are you doing with this, no matter what it is, it is a matter between adults, besides, Aunt Hongxing has died, and the deceased is great, so don't mention this kind of thing in the future." Aunt Hongxing's bones are not cold, and they are still parked on the kang, what we should consider is how to deal with the aftermath, not to talk about those messy things here. ”

"What Xiaojing said is very true, I agree. Qiao Shuangxi nodded bitterly.

"Then what do you say?" the mud baby wiped her tears with her sleeve and stood up suddenly.

"Help me up," Qiao Xiaojing said, "We can't stay here any longer, whether we violate the clan rules or not, we have to go out now, we have to find a respected person in the village, let them preside over the overall situation, and deal with the aftermath." ”

"Yes, what Xiaojing said is very true, I agree. Qiao Shuangxi saw Qiao Xiaojing stand up, and he also tried to stand up, but his butt was injured, and the attempt failed, and he finally stood up with the help of the mud baby.

Qiao Xiaojing begged again and again, and Qiao Laohan, who was guarding the ancestral hall, agreed to let the three of them out, and also found two sticks for her and Qiao Shuangxi to use as crutches.

Qiao Xiaojing, Qiao Shuangxi and Niwa came to the road, which attracted special attention, after all, they were two cripples and a murderer. The few villagers on the road saw them and avoided them from a distance, and those who did not have time to avoid them held their heads in their hands and crouched against the walls on both sides of the road, their bodies trembling incessantly, which showed the extent of fear.

"Niwa," Qiao Xiaojing said in the middle of the village, "You better go home first, Shuangxi and I will find someone, and we will come to your house to find you later." ”

"Sister," the mud baby had already been six gods and no owner, hearing Qiao Xiaojing say this, he was even more confused, and said in a begging tone, "Just let me go with you, I, what can I do now when I go back alone?"

"We are particular here," Qiao Xiaojing explained, "Aunt Hongxing is dead, you are her son, even if you don't wear linen and filial piety, you already have filial piety on your body, and now if you go to someone else's house, everyone will be unhappy." Be obedient and go back first. ”

"Don't worry," Qiao Shuangxi also comforted, "It won't take long for us to take someone to your house." ”

Farewell, the mud baby went home timidly, Qiao Xiaojing thought for a while, and walked towards Qiao Shuangxi's house with Qiao Shuangxi.

"Auntie, is my uncle at home?" The door was latched, and Qiao Xiaojing knocked several times before opening the door.

"What are you doing?" Aunt Qiao Baocai saw his son following behind her, so she stopped counting, and then her expression was cloudy, and she said, "He, he's not at home, he's out, I don't know where he went, he's not at home anyway." ”

"Mother," Qiao Shuangxi naturally saw that his mother's expression was wrong, so he held his mother's arm and said, "What happened? Why are you so weird? My father is at home, you are deliberately lying to us, aren't you?"

"This ......" Qiao Shuangxi's mother looked even more strange, and said in a hurry, "This child, how can you talk to your mother? I don't understand the rules at all, and I don't know how to talk about my mother in front of outsiders, and I'm not afraid that others will laugh at you for not being educated?"

"Don't talk about this yet," Qiao Shuangxi said, "We have 100,000 urgent things to find my father, is he not at home?"

"What's the urgency of you?"

"Oh, mother, you just say that my father is not at home, don't say anything else. ”

"He's not there. ”

"Forget it, let's go in and see for ourselves. Qiao Shuangxi and Qiao Xiaojing entered the courtyard one after the other.

Fortunately, Qiao Shuangxi is here, otherwise Qiao Baocai, who is hiding in the bed, will definitely not fan.

"What? Let me preside over the aftermath of Hongxing, are you crazy? That mud baby won't kill me?" Qiao Baocai was frightened and excited.

"You are the village chief, and you have prestige, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward in this matter. If you help him, he will be grateful to Dade, and the misunderstanding will be eliminated? Besides, you still have something to do with Aunt Hongxing's death. Qiao Xiaojing Chen said the stakes.

That Qiao Baocai smacked the dry smoke pot and did not respond for a long time.
