When he arrived at the house and pushed the door in, he was rushed out of the door by a strong smell of corpse decay and the sound of buzzing flies, and then he realized something, stared at the door plaque for a long time, repeatedly confirmed that this was his home, and then pushed the door in, but saw an old couple on the bed, both of whom had already died.

Han Jiangyuan felt that his heartbeat was still, and he walked in one foot deep and one foot shallow, the bodies of the two old men turned black and purple, and when he looked closer, he could see insects crawling everywhere on their bodies.

There was a shout outside: "Jiang Yuan, come out quickly, they died of the plague, don't infect you anymore." Otherwise, we wouldn't have helped the second elder to be buried, and we really didn't dare to touch the air inside. ”

For a while, Han Jiangyuan was discouraged, and with the fatigue of many days, he fainted beside the bed.

Han Jiangyuan woke up again at the neighbor's house, they were all eating, talking about the latest news in the village, as if the two old men who died next door had nothing to do with them.

Han Jiangyuan lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and when the young man saw that Han Jiangyuan was awake, he got up and said, "Jiang Yuan, I see that you are weak, you must have not rested well after a long journey, come over and eat something, and then sleep well." ”

"Yo, woke up?" A couple also got up and said with a smile, "Come and eat together, I haven't seen each other for several years, and Jiang Yuan looks even more beautiful." ”

Han Jiangyuan walked up to them and bowed, and said, "Sixth aunt, sixth uncle, thank you for taking me in, my parents are still in bed and have not been buried, Jiang Yuan will bury them first." ”

Several people thought that he was asking them to help, and if you look at me and I look at you, Aunt Liu laughed embarrassedly: "This ...... If you come into contact with their corpses for a long time, I am afraid that you will be contaminated with the same plague......"

"Jiang Yuan took the liberty of asking, when did my father and mother die?" Han Jiang's distant face was like dead ashes, lifeless, and the young man sighed for a while, and replied, "More than a month ago, when I went out to plow, I smelled a corpse smell, and before that, the two of them had not been out for more than half a month, so it must have been at that time. ”

It turned out that his parents had been dead for almost two months, and he didn't know anything...... Swallowing a mouthful of tears, Han Jiangyuan bowed and said, "I'll leave first." ”

Han Jiangyuan, a scholar, is not afraid of those insects and flies now, dragged the two corpses out of bed, pulled them to his own field with a carriage, picked up a shovel and dug from dawn to dark, and when the two were buried, it was already late at night, and he simply carved a tombstone on the tree, kneeling on the ground and tears flowed down one after another: "Father, mother, children are not filial...... In the past few years when the child has been away, it is not that he has forgotten his roots, but that his life is poor, and food and clothing have become a problem...... My wife Wu was wronged with me, and the child couldn't eat anything good all day long, the child didn't have any big ambitions, and he didn't have any big skills, the child was sorry for his father, and he was sorry for his wife and children, and the child was useless...... The child just wants to go home when he has more surplus in his pocket, and the child can't leave the business stall, otherwise his wife and son won't even be able to eat rice porridge...... But your second elder hasn't waited yet, and he has already made a secret of heaven and earth...... It's the child who is not filial, it's the child who is not filial......"

Han Jiangyuan slept in the ancestral cemetery all night, and at dawn the next day, the young man came to hoe the ground and found him and asked him to wake up, he looked around at the graveyard and exclaimed, "Jiang Yuan, why are you sleeping here?" ”

Han Jiangyuan was woken up by him, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, and he knelt up, only to find that his legs were already numb and unconscious.

"Alas, uncle and aunt are gone, don't be too sad, the two of them are old after all, and there is no one to help take care of them every day, usually eating is a problem, no matter if you leave, you really can't enjoy any blessings in life......" As he spoke, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, and slapped his mouth twice with his palm, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, don't be angry......"

"It's fine." Han Jiangyuan had a heavy nasal voice, and after a while, when his leg was numb, he stood up, "I'm going back, my wife and children are still waiting for me." ”

"Oh...... By the way, my uncle and aunt told me that if you come back in the future, let you look under the table. ”

Under the table? Han Jiangyuan got up and went home, the suffocating smell of corpses in the house made Han Jiangyuan retch, and when he remembered that his parents died tragically at home, his heart hurt as if he had been cut by a knife. opened the bricks under the table, found a cowhide bag, took it out and opened it, inside were some silver tickets and the proof of the transfer of the ownership of the house and land in his hometown to Han Jiangyuan, these were like life-saving straws, Han Jiangyuan knelt at the table and cried uncontrollably.

I rushed back with the money, sorted out my mood, Yinuo bought meat and some fruits and went back, and when I got home, I put things on the table, but I saw Wu sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, coaxing the son in his arms like a fool: "Woo woo, sleep, don't be afraid, it's okay......"

Han Jiangyuan said: "I bought meat and came back, you go cook, I will take the child to the hospital to see the disease." He said that he was going to take the child over, but Wu Shi suddenly turned his head and glared at him, and his scarlet eyes shocked Han Jiang to take several steps back, "It's you, it's you who killed my child, it's all you...... Thou shalt give back my son's life, thou wilt give back my son's life......"

Han Jiangyuan was like being bombarded by thunder, quietly looking at the child in Wu's arms with his eyes closed, it took almost half an hour to take a step, and when he took a look at the child, the child's face was purple, his body was stiff, and he had obviously been dead for several days.

"No ——!" Han Jiangyuan roared and fainted on the spot.

When Han Jiangyuan woke up again, his wife Wu was gone, and all the money on his body was taken away, leaving only his son on the ground and the baby waiting to be fed on the bed.

"No...... No...... This is not true......" Han Jiangyuan's tears fell between his son's eyebrows, and there was a 'click' sound, and then slid down the corners of the child's eyes.

After burying his son, Han Jiangyuan's whole heart was like ashes, looking at the hungry crying baby on the bed, Han Jiangyuan lowered his head, and a line of tears hung on his face.

In order to treat him, Han Jiangyuan did business outside day and night, unless he was at home, he was locked at home the rest of the time, and the money he earned was used to treat him and eat, so he raised the child to nearly ten years old. Han Jiangyuan's whole person was tired and unformed, but he knew that he wanted to earn money, he wanted to support this child, he had nothing left, he only had this child left......

But his illness has not been improved for so many years, this day Han Jiangyuan went back and found that he had a severe fever, and hurriedly carried him to see, the doctor said that the root of his disease had not been removed, and he must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise he may have to worry about his life. The consultation fee plus the medicine fee costs two hundred taels of silver, where did Han Jiangyuan get so much money, he had no choice but to sell his house and make up some cash, but the money was not enough, Han Jiangyuan went to sell blood and meat to a rich and noble family, cutting human flesh is useless, but the rich family likes to cut human flesh and feed it to dogs, and let the blood feed it to dogs, Han Jiangyuan cut the places with more flesh on his body, and watched his skin and flesh being chewed and swallowed into his stomach by the wolf dog in a few bites, and the man threw him a bag of silver, smiled and said, "I've rewarded you." ”

Han Jiangyuan was covered in bruises, took the silver and ran to the hospital with blood stains all over his body, handed the silver to the doctor, and begged him to save the child with tears in his eyes.

Han Jiangyuan was still asleep, and he was woken up, accompanied by a child's crying voice: "Dad, Dad, how are you?" Get up......"

Han Jiangyuan narrowed his eyes, and the burning pain reminded him that he was still alive, and in front of him was Han Ye's tearful eyes, Han Jiangyuan said in a dumb voice: "Ye'er, are you okay?" ”

"Daddy......" Han Ye threw himself into Han Jiangyuan's arms and cried, "You scared me to death......"

"Hmm......" Han Jiangyuan was hit by his wound, his body stiffened suddenly, Han Ye hurriedly moved his head away, and said timidly, "Dad, I'm sorry for hurting you...... The doctor has already given you medicine and bandaged you, so you should get better quickly......"

Han Jiangyuan looked down at the gauze wrapped everywhere on his body, and thanked the doctor for his kindness, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, took Han Ye's little hand and walked outside, and bowed to the doctor: "Thank you for the doctor's treatment, may I ask if the dog's illness has been cured?" ”

"If nothing else, it shouldn't be a big deal." The doctor looked him up and down, "You better go back and rest, you really want money and don't want to die, you dare to do that kind of person's business, you still have your life to come back......"

Han Jiang didn't say a word, bowed down and thanked him, and then took Han Ye away. Out of the gate of the medical hall, Han Jiangyuan was confused and didn't know where to go, Han Ye took Han Jiangyuan's hand and wanted to go home: "Dad, let's go home quickly, I'm hungry......"

Family? We don't have a home anymore......

Han Jiangyuan took Han Ye to sit with the beggars, because of excessive blood loss, his body was extremely weak, and he firmly bound the wrists of the two with a hairband, and admonished: "Ye'er, no one is allowed to take you away, do you hear?" Dad is too tired, I want to sleep for a while, don't make noise with me......"

Han Ye nodded, and Han Jiangyuan fell asleep with a tilt of his head.

They had been walking for several days, and they hadn't eaten anything during this period, whenever Han Ye looked tired, he dragged the small steps he didn't want to walk and asked him, "Dad, where are we going?" In fact, he didn't know where to go.

"Wow......" Han Ye squatted beside Han Jiangyuan and cried loudly, attracting many people to watch, and they discussed, "Who is this?" Why is there blood all over your body? Isn't it dead? ”

"Then this child is too pitiful, he is still so young, and his father is gone."

Han Ye looked at the people who were gathered around, but he didn't know how to ask for help, so he could only shake Han Jiangyuan's body helplessly with both hands, hoping that he would wake up.

"Huh? Father, who's over there? Why are so many people around? Xiao Qian'er trotted all the way over, pulled her father-in-law and squeezed into the crowd, and found that it was a child about ten years old and a man covered in blood.

"Yikes!" Xiao Qian'er turned around and exclaimed, "Father-in-law, this person seems to be seriously injured, father-in-law show him quickly." ”

Yuan Zhen squatted down and checked his pulse, the pulse was already extremely weak, looking at him covered in blood, he opened his clothes and saw that many wounds on his body had festered, and he frowned, and said to Han Ye: "Child, is this your father?" ”

This was the first person to come out to greet him, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Han Ye nodded busily: "Please save my father......"

Yuan Zhen took them to the hospital and asked the doctor to treat his wounds, Han Jiangyuan woke up in pain for a while, and when he gritted his teeth and held on, he saw Yuan Zhen and Ouyang Qian, who were all noble, and only after the doctor was cured did he ask, "Who are the two?" ”

"Why did you get so badly injured?" Yuan Zhen opened his mouth and asked, Han Jiangyuan lowered his eyes, wiped the sweat on his forehead, pursed his pale lips, and handed over a glass of warm water, Han Jiangyuan raised his eyes and saw Xiao Qian'er's angelic smile, "Uncle, drink a glass of water." ”

“…… Thank you. Han Jiangyuan took a breath and drank it clean, his mouth was always a little better, and explained the reason in a low voice, Yuan Zhen felt that he was a pure character, and said, "The head of my family is just about to return to his hometown, if you have no way out, go back to the house with me." ”

"Will you take in our father and son?" Han Jiangyuan was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise, and a happy smile instantly appeared on his face. Han Jiangyuan held Han Ye's hand tightly, and tears of emotion were about to flow out, child, we have a home again......

-

"It turns out that Han Ye is not your biological child?" Ouyang Qian was shocked.

"He is a child I picked up, and I have treated him like a parent over the years, as long as he wants it, within the scope of his ability, I will satisfy him. But why...... Why is he still not satisfied? I've given him the best of mine, so why is he so angry? His mind has become so vicious that he wants to kill people...... I'm angry and distressed, I've raised a child for twenty-five years, and it's ......gone," Ouyang Qian also shed tears under emotion, "He is not your own child, but you treat him a hundred times better than your own child, this hard work is really rare, he has not been in vain in this life, you have been good enough to him." ”

"Young master, you are really a caring and good boy, my family Ye'er can catch up with half of your heart, and you won't end up in this field...... I deserve to be lonely all my life, and I have nothing to rely on when I get old......"

"Uncle Han, if you don't dislike it, just retire in the house, we will all honor you and won't let your evening be bleak."

Han Jiangyuan's deep feelings for Han Ye made Ouyang Qian feel very deeply, and he felt for a moment that there are people in this world who are so good to him, he must cherish it, and he must repay the kindness in time, so as not to regret it if he has no chance to repay it in the future.
