That Qiao Baocai suffered a splint in the ancestral hall, and when he went home, he didn't even drink a sip of water, so he went out angrily.

This time, Qiao Baocai didn't care about right and wrong as in the past, nor did he avoid the eyes of the villagers, and came straight to Hongxing's house. When he arrived at Hongxing's house, he saw Hongxing sitting alone on the edge of the bed in a daze, and without saying a few kind words, he grabbed Hongxing's hands and wanted to ask Hongxing why he threatened him with words in the ancestral hall, and wanted to scare Hongxing as the patriarch and village head, hoping that she would retreat in the face of difficulties and not make the affair between them public. But at this moment, the mud baby returned home.

He had heard that he was the seed of Qiao Xiaojing's stepfather Liu Ma, and he heard that it might be the seed of the village chief Qiao Baocai, but no one thought it was the bell of the dead Li Hanzi; he had heard that her mother Hongxing had slept with Qiao Baocai on her back, and he had also heard that his mother had slept with Liu Ma on her back......

As the years go by and the age increases, the mud baby has changed from a melon baby who doesn't know what to do to a black guy, who is withdrawn, with a fierce light in his eyes all day long, and many gossips gradually died out of his ears. Because of this, he no longer paid attention to those bad things, and relied on Hongxing for his life, and Hongxing, who was comforted, gradually returned to normal.

But what the mud baby didn't expect was that she was implicated for saving Qiao Xiaojing, and she should have been punished, but because of her mother's words that seemed to be domineering but actually hid too many stories, the invincible Qiao Baocai actually succumbed in front of all the elders, the Qiao clan and the villagers...... What he didn't expect was that at home, he saw Qiao Baocai grabbing his mother's hand.

"It seems that the rumors are true?" The mud baby was angry and frightened, the muscles on his face were deformed, his eyes were as wide as a pair of bells, he gritted his teeth and "gurgled", his breathing became heavy and rapid, his arms trembled, his hands were clenched into fists, he rushed towards Qiao Baocai, and reprimanded, "You old brute, I have to kill ......you today."

"Mud baby, mud baby......" Qiao Baocai was scared, like a timid child hiding behind the red apricot, the red apricot opened her arms like an old hen to protect the chicks, and said to the mud baby, "You calm down first, listen to the mother explain to you first." ”

"You shut up for me," At this moment, how could the mud baby listen to his mother's words, and he raised his fist and wanted to smash Qiao Baocai, but his mother always stood in front of him, and he scolded angrily, "You get me up, I have to kill him today no matter what, and when I kill this beast with a beast with a human face, I will slowly listen to your explanation." ”

"Child, child, listen to my mother, dissipate your anger first, you dissipate your anger first......" Hongxing hugged the mud baby, turned her head and yelled at Qiao Baocai, who was already shrunk into a ball of fright, "Don't you hurry up and leave, do you really want to die here?"

"Hey, hey......" Qiao Baocai woke up like a dream, like a rotten dog with a broken backbone, timidly crawled out of the house, stumbled down the steps, and saw that he was alive, and ran without thinking, and ran into the village with a smoke.

In this short moment, if you don't look at Qiao Baocai's appearance, you won't think that he is an old man at all, but on the contrary, you will think that he is a young man. The strength of the feet and the speed of the cadence are amazing. What's more, he relied on his own strength in this process, and there was no external support at all, and even his crutches had long been missing.

"You let go, hurry up, I'm going to kill that old brute, do you hear? The mud baby kept struggling, he wanted to break away from Hongxing's arms, he wanted to catch up and kill Qiao Baocai, but his mother Hongxing hugged his waist tightly, and in desperation, he turned around suddenly, which threw Hongxing away.

"Child," the red apricot saw her son Niwa holding a kitchen knife, and rushed out of the house angrily, she didn't want to watch her son commit a murderous crime, so she suddenly rushed over and knelt on the ground, hugged her son's Niwa's legs tightly, and begged, "You listen to your mother tell you, you are still young, and you don't understand many things, but you can't be so impulsive, and you can't turn back if you do stupid things." ”

"I've grown up," the mud baby shook her head angrily, and said helplessly, "Don't always treat me as a child who hasn't been weaned, don't always think about how to hide it from me, I'm not blind, I can see clearly, don't think I don't understand the things you do, that beast is not clear with you, no wonder there are always people gossiping behind my back, so that I don't have the face to be an upright person outside." ”

"Don't listen to other people's nonsense," the red apricot was already crying urgently, and she cried mournfully, "Son, they think that our orphans and widows are easy to bully, so they are talking nonsense everywhere." You, you can ......"

"Shut up," the mud baby roared angrily when she saw that her mother was still hiding, "do you really think that what people are saying behind their backs is all nonsense, all nonsense? Do you think I'm really stupid, blind? Go away, I'll have to kill that brute today anyway, and pay for his life." Open it, if you hear it, open it for me!"

"I know," the red apricot sat on the ground, hugged her arms tightly, hugged the mud baby's legs in it, and said sadly while crying, "You, when you grow up, you can't listen to your mother's words." Well, since you have to kill someone today, and your mother's will not stop you, come on, then kill your mother's first. When I'm dead, there will be no one to stop you, and then you can let go of your hands and feet, do whatever you want, kill whoever you want, and no one will stand in your way anymore. ”

"Mother~" The mud baby saw her mother Hongxing crying sadly and earnestly, her heart gradually softened, "click", the kitchen knife in her hand fell to the ground, and she stood beside her mother stupidly, tears came out of her eyes, but he didn't cry.

"Mother knows," the red apricot did not stop crying because of this, and still said while crying, "Over the years, for your mother, you have suffered a lot of grievances and white eyes, so that your face is dull, and you can't live an upright life like other people's children, it's all my mother's fault, if you want to hate, hate me, if you have any anger in your heart, you can sprinkle it on me, as long as you don't do stupid things." ”

The mud baby wiped away the tears on her face, bent down and broke off his mother Hongxing's arm, didn't say anything, sat on the kang next to the window, her eyes were scattered, her expression was dull, Hongxing looked at him, but she couldn't figure out what he was thinking......

In Qiao's ancestral hall, Qiao Xiaojing turned her head from time to time to look at the old door, she was always worried that the mud baby might do unforeseen disasters when she went out with anger. As time went on, her worry became stronger and stronger, so she said to Qiao Shuangxi on the side: "That mud baby has been out for so long, and no one has come to the ancestral hall for a long time, is there really an accident?"

"You," Qiao Shuangxi said with a wry smile, "It's really worrying about your life, I said it, that mud baby is an unripe ginger head, how dare you think he really is? Don't worry, he just went home and quarreled a few words, nothing big happened, you still think about how long we will stay here, how to get out of here, this is the right thing." ”

"Alas," Qiao Xiaojing sighed, and her eyes fell on the old man Qiao who was guarding the ancestral hall, her mind was still on the mud baby with murderous eyes, she didn't want anything to happen, and she didn't want to see something sad happen, so she said to him, "Grandpa Qiao, you go out and inquire to see if anything is happening in the village." ”

"What do you mean, you want to break me up and run away? Don't dream, I'm not going to fool you. That old man Qiao misunderstood Qiao Xiaojing's meaning and directly rejected his request.

"It's not that you don't know," Qiao Xiaojing said, "Shuangxi and I were beaten half to death, only half a life, even if we have this idea, but now we can't sit still, how can we escape? I mean that the mud baby has been out for a long time, but he rushed out with anger, in case something happens, you can't get out of it." ”

"My old man has lived in vain for decades, although he hasn't done anything big, and there are a lot of things that can be seen, scare me, no way!"

"Who has the time to scare you? That mud baby was originally locked up in the ancestral hall, but now what about him? Who let him go? You are the keeper of the ancestral hall, and the key to the gate of the ancestral hall is in your hand, do you need to say more? You go out and inquire to see if the mud baby has caused trouble, no, that is the best, and if so, you should also think carefully about how to explain this matter!"

"This ......" The old man Qiao pondered for a while, and finally felt that Qiao Xiaojing's words still made some sense, so he responded, "Since you want to know the situation of the mud baby going out, I will go to the road to inquire, but I believe that he will not cause trouble." ”

"The best. Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath.

Soon the old man Qiao who guarded the ancestral hall returned, he sat on the threshold, and smoked the dry tobacco pot unhurriedly, and the green smoke rose from the top of his head in the sunlight, and the whole person seemed to be in a thick fog, which seemed to be real and illusory.

Qiao Xiaojing understood that the mud baby had not been in trouble so far, so there was no need to ask the old man Qiao.

Perhaps, the old man Qiao felt strange, and took the initiative to say: "You melon baby, don't you want to know the situation of the mud baby, why don't you gnaw again?"

"The mud baby is fine, why should I ask more?" Qiao Xiaojing looked very wise.

"How do you know?" the old man Qiao was surprised.

"You haven't heard any news, so it means that the mud baby is not in trouble, since there is no trouble, why should I ask?"

"Gua Wazi's head is bright!" the old man Qiao nodded with satisfaction......

"Mother," the mud baby walked back and forth, without looking at the red apricot sitting on the kang, and said coldly, "So Qiao Baocai and Liu Ma, those two beasts have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Son, do you listen to your mother's explanation......"

"You don't have to say anything to answer yes or no. ”

"Yes!" said the word almost tremblingly, "but these things ......."

"Don't say it, don't say it, what else is there to say......" The mud baby roared like crazy, and suddenly saw the kitchen knife on the cabinet, her eyes widened, and she grabbed the kitchen knife and pounced on his mother......

I only heard a scream, and the red apricot was covered in blood, and fell to the ground, no longer moving.
