Chapter 83: Truth or Falsehood
Xu Xuanqing's sleeves were tightly pulled by Chen Erniu at the moment. And I was very sad to see Chen Erniu so anxious.
However, before I could say anything, Xu Xuanqing looked solemn: "Chen Erniu, most of the villagers in your village have problems, why are you okay?" ”
Chen Erniu didn't seem to expect that Xu Xuanqing would ask this.
He was stunned before he reacted: "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”
Seeing this, I hurriedly said: "Old man, this thing can't be done by Erniu, and it's ......."
There are some things that I can't say in front of Chen Erniu, but we all know it. Chenjia Village will become like this because there is another coffin of the Seven Evils.
Since this is the case, what does this matter have to do with Chen Erniu.
But I have already hinted at it so clearly, but Xu Xuanqing continued to stare at Chen Erniu as if he didn't understand: "Old man, I mean, you live in Chenjia Village together, eat and drink together, why have they all become like this." But Chen Gongzi, you look at it and it's fine. ”
If Xu Xuanqing's words just now were implied, then now they are explicit.
So even Chen Erniu was stupid and understood: "Master, are you doubting me?" Do you suspect that I did all this, so I thief shouting to catch the thief? ”
Xu Xuanqing didn't respond, but there were a few big words written on his face-you said this yourself.
Seeing this scene, Chen Erniu was extremely angry, "Master, how can you wronged people so much." How could I possibly do such a thing. ”
Later, seeing that Xu Xuanqing ignored him, Chen Erniu turned his eyes to me and said, "Tangtang, don't you even believe me?" ”
"I believe it." I hurriedly nodded: "Erniu, don't worry, I believe you." ”
Then I looked at Xu Xuanqing and said, "Old man, I know that Erniu is kind and honest by nature, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing." And he is not alone in Chenjiacun. Even if you want to doubt you, you shouldn't just doubt Erniu. ”
You should go to other people's homes anyway.
No matter how bad it is, you should go around the village.
Before we investigated the red leeches in Zhangjia Village, we also went to Houshan and other places to have a look.
Why did he come to Chen Erniu and do nothing, so he closed the coffin.
Xu Xuanqing didn't respond to me, but just looked at Chen Erniu with deep eyes.
Instead, Ying Long spoke: "Chen Erniu, we saw that they were all from your family just now, right?" ”
"Yes, Young Master Ying, they are all from my family." Chen Erniu nodded.
"The outermost ones who gnaw on the table, chair and bench are your parents?" Ying Long said again.
This time, Chen Erniu paused, and then shook his head: "It's not that they are my eldest uncle and aunt. ”
"What about your parents?" This was not asked by Ying Long, but by me.
Before I came, I only thought about the Seven Evil Coffins and a nest of snakes and rats. But I forgot to ask Chen Erniu's father and mother if something happened to him.
Now that I think about being his best childhood friend, I was a bit derelict in my duty.
But what I didn't expect was that just my words made Chen Erniu's eyes red immediately.
I don't know what I'm saying wrong.
Bai Hua suddenly spoke: "Ling Zun, are they no longer there?" ”
This is not a doubt, but a statement of certainty.
And the more this happened, the more shocked I became, "Erniu, is this true?" ”
"Yes." Choked for a while, Chen Erniu finally nodded.
I didn't know what to take for a while, and it took me a long time to react: "When did this happen?" Uncle and aunt, how could they ......"
In my memory, Chen Erniu has always been in a very happy family.
Although he doesn't have much money, his parents are very good to him, and he has a sense of justice since he was a child, and he doesn't follow others to bully me, so my impression of him is excellent.
"Not long after your family moved to town, my father and mother left. Tang Tang, speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Suddenly, Chen Erniu wiped away his tears and looked at me and said.
Have it?
Really, from Shanghe Village and even nearby villages, they called me a white widow, and began to dislike me and bully me. My father took me and my mother to move out of Shanghe, and it's not been more than ten years now.
Then why didn't he write to tell me?
Or maybe he didn't come to me.
In the end, I got stuck in my throat, and I could only ask, "Since then, it was your uncle and aunt who adopted you?" ”
"Hmm." Chen Erniu nodded.
"Are they good to you, then?" After thinking about it, I asked tentatively.
I now seem to know why Xu Xuanqing just now, so I asked Chen Erniu.
When Chen Erniu heard my words, he didn't respond, but looked at me and smiled. Then he set his eyes on Xu Xuanqing and the others: "Master, Bai Gongzi, Ying Gongzi, is it because my uncle and aunt are not good to me." So you think I took revenge on their family? ”
This......
Xu Xuanqing and Bai Hua don't think so, I really don't know.
But Chen Erniu would say it so bluntly, which also surprised me.
The coffin of the seven evils is the ancient Buddhist scriptures, the world is purgatory, and those who fall into the world are born guilty. Among them, arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust are the seven greatest evils of man. And the seven evil coffins born from these seven kinds of evil are the seven evil coffins.
So will Chen Erniu be angry in his heart because of revenge, and thus produce an angry coffin?
It's really hard to say.
"Is that so?" Xu Xuanqing asked again.
I also looked at Chen Erniu with a serious face, waiting for his response.
"It's not." Chen Erniu didn't have any hesitation or emotion, he just said calmly: "My uncle and aunt are not good to me, and even my cousin and cousin bully me. But so what. What the hell have they raised me for so many years? Moreover, my uncle's family is already in difficulty, and the poor couple mourns everything. Isn't it normal for occasional quarrels to vent on me, an outsider? ”
"What's more, although they have treated me badly all these years. But he never really treated me badly. My cousin and cousin have something that I don't have though. But at least I haven't slept on the streets for years. And all this should be thanks to my uncle and aunt for taking in. Otherwise, with my young age at the time, it is estimated that a person would have starved to death if he was outcast. ”
"Then you didn't resent them?" After listening to Chen Erniu's story, I felt a little bad in my heart.
Exactly, I don't know if he was telling the truth, or if he was lying to excuse himself.
After all, I also believed in Zhang Dingxiang at the beginning, but even if things were helpless, Zhang Dingxiang still deceived me.
