Chapter VII: Signature and Drawing

"You promised?" Li's expectant eyes looked at Tong Xiang.

Tong Xiang was helpless, so he had to nod his head and agree, turned back to the scar man and said, "You go, I will give you the rest of the money as soon as possible." ”

"Alright, alright."

Scar Man was allowed to leave with his four little henchmen.

After Tong Laosan saw them leaving, he spat out, "Xiang'er, you should have paid off your accounts just now, this group of loan sharks, I don't know how many people have been harmed." ”

"You come with me." Tong Xiang glared at Tong Laosan.

Tong Laosan followed Tong Xiang back to the house, asked Chu Xiao to buy pen and ink, and began to sharpen the ink, preparing to write something.

Li Shi opened his mouth and asked, "Xiang'er, what are you doing here?" ”

"Three chapters of the law with my father."

Tong Xiang held the brush, ready to put down the pen, and the first word "Tong" under the pen was written crookedly, and it was simply impossible to read.

This ancient brush is really difficult to use.

She clumped up the paper and threw it away.

Li Shi went to pick it up distressed, "What do you do with this good paper?" ”

Chu Xiao saw her predicament and couldn't write.

He hooked his lips and walked over and asked, "What to write?" I'll write it for you. ”

Tong Xiang was in trouble, Chu Xiao asked at the right time, and Tong Xiang immediately gave up his seat to him.

"Just write that if Tong Laosan gambles again and scolds my mother, he will sign and leave the book, and then write the names of the three of us, that's all."

Chu Xiao looked at Tong Xiang and asked again, "Are you sure?" Signing and leaving? ”

In this country, there is no woman who will take the initiative to reconcile and leave, otherwise she will be criticized.

Tong Xiang nodded, and the Li family immediately came over to stop him, "I can't help it, Xiang'er, after signing and leaving the book, who do you want our mother and three sons to live on?" ”

"At that time, there will only be Hua'er in the family, and you will be bullied to death, and your marriage in the future will also be affected."

Tong Xiang helped Li to sit down, "Mother, I will support you in the future, whoever dares to bully and find fault, I will just run away." ”

"Besides, it's better if I have this father, he's going to sell the three of them, don't drive him out as soon as possible."

Tong Laosan watched silently from the side, and when he heard that he was going to be driven out, he couldn't stand anymore, "Xiang'er, I'm also in a hurry, and I want to send them away, but I don't really want to ......"

"Shut up!"

Tong Xiang reprimanded him, and Tong Laosan didn't dare to say anything anymore, because Tong Xiang would really drive him away now, regardless of his life or death.

After Chu Xiao wrote the agreement, Tong Xiang picked it up, and while blowing the ink, she looked at the content, all of which were traditional characters, and some of them were unknown, but she also guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

Tong Xiang stretched out his hand, bit his finger through, and then pressed the handprint.

"Mother, come."

Tong Xiang touched the blood on the bitten finger to Li Shi and asked her to press the handprint.

When he arrived at Tong Laosan, Tong Laosan obediently pressed his handprint, he stretched out his hand, and also wanted Tong Xiang to stain him with some blood.

Tong Xiang glared at him, "Tong Hua, go to the kitchen and get a kitchen knife." ”

"Xiang'er, I ...... it," Tong Laosan frowned and said.

But I couldn't help it, so I had to grit my teeth and cut my fingers to press the mudra.

agreed to sign two copies, and after signing, Tong Laosan picked up the kitchen knife and said, "You wait, I'll cook tonight." ”

After Tong Laosan left, Li pulled Tong Xiang to look left and right, "Let my mother see if you are injured." ”

"Xiang'er, when did you know martial arts? Did you learn it from others in your dreams? ”

Without waiting for Tong Xiang to answer, Li found a good reason for her, and Tong Xiang nodded.

It soon darkened, and Tong Laosan's dinner was ready.

I made two plates of bacon, as well as cakes, wild vegetables, and scrambled eggs.

Although it is very ordinary, for a poor family like Tong Xiang, this is equivalent to a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, and Tong Hua happily moves his chopsticks.

Tong Laosan poured four bowls of water, held the bowl, stood up and said, "Damn, Xiang'er, Hua'er, I used to be a bastard, but today I was also scolded by Xiang'er and woke up." ”

"From now on, I want to change my ways, never gamble again, why don't you live a good life as a family of four, you will forgive me who was the bastard before, and I will compensate you well in the future."

Tong Xiang chewed bacon silently, so she wouldn't believe the words of the gambler.

But she couldn't bear Li's letter, she pulled Tong Laosan to sit down, "His father, we will live a good life in the future, and now we also have piglets, wait for us to raise them, sell them, build a new house, and live a good life." ”

Tong Hua also said, "Dad, you work hard in the future, and I will bring you food and water." ”

"Hua'er, you eat more meat, damn it, Xiang'er, you eat it too, don't be reluctant."

"And this son, don't be polite, it really makes you smile."

“……”

Tong Laosan seems to have returned to the past, and the family is happy.

After Tong Xiang finished eating, he walked out.

Chu Xiao also came out.

The moonlight shone on the earth, a silvery white, Tong Xiang stood in the courtyard, staring at the moon blankly.

"What are you thinking?"

Chu Xiao's voice suddenly sounded beside him, startling Tong Xiang.

"I was thinking, it's nice to have family."

Hearing this, Chu Xiao pondered for a moment, as if remembering his life experience, and sighed silently, "But some family members are not as good as the people who meet in Pingshui." ”

Then he asked, "Isn't your family here?" How do you lament this? ”

Tong Xiang shook his head, "I don't have a family, and in the first half of my life, I was able to hold on alone. ”

Chu Xiao thought she was talking about a father like Tong Laosan, he gambled on a ghost, regardless of his children, and his mother was weak.

As the eldest daughter, she is not just a person who can support herself.

"I'll take you somewhere.". Chu Xiao said.

Without waiting for Tong Xiang to react, the two of them took off into the air.

Tong Xiang looked at the ground in surprise, "You can fly!" ”

"It's just a light effort, and it won't take long to fly." , Chu Xiao said, hugged Tong Xiang and landed on a roof, tapped his toes, and rose into the air with his strength.

After a while, the two came to the city wall of the county seat.

"There are people on the wall, and we can't get in." , Tong Xiang looked up at the city wall and said, "Otherwise, let's go back." ”

"Who says you can't get in? Someone, just knock out. ”

Immediately afterwards, Chu Xiao hugged Tong Xiang and came to the city wall, and the soldiers patrolling the city wall immediately discovered, "What person?!" ”

Chu Xiao waved his hand lightly, and the chief slashed at the soldier's shoulder, and the soldier fell straight down.

The two came to the county seat, and on the street, the lights were bright, and there were all kinds of juggling.

Chu Xiao glanced at her sideways, and his tone unconsciously carried a bit of pampering, "Where do you want to go?" ”

"I'm going to the highest place."

"Okay, then go to the highest place."

A moment later, the two of them were standing on the top of the fire.

Tong Xiang looked at the night view of the county and shouted happily.

"It's been a long time since I've had this feeling of stepping on the street under my feet."

"You've been here before?" , Chu Xiao heard this and asked curiously.

Tong Xiang realized that he had lost his mouth and immediately explained, "No, I've seen it in my dreams." ”
