It was already late at night, and Ziwei lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. She was originally a daughter of a large family, and someone should have come to serve her, but now she is here to serve others, not to mention this huge gap, a high-walled deep courtyard at the end of the house, a black lacquered gate, and two stone lions at the door, which are still fresh in my memory. Who knew that those 'spears' who dared to die burned it to the ground in a fire. Now, there is no home, no relatives, and only she is alone. I really hate those 'spears' who dare to die, no wonder they want to fall. Alas, the old man is really, and he sympathizes with the little 'spear', and he wants to stab him to death immediately. I want to relieve the hatred in my heart.

Ziwei took out the jade pendant hanging on her chest again and looked at it carefully. I thought that if it weren't for this disaster, I would have been a wife and a mother. Now, the Xu family has long been silent, and this war is in chaos, and I don't know that the son of the Xu family is still alive, and he may have already become her husband. Tears couldn't help but fall. Thinking of this, I really hate those 'spears', if I don't take revenge, when will I wait?

......

In the bungalow in the backyard of the Liu family, Xu Hugen lay on the bed, thinking over and over again, although he did not have the slightest influence on his ancestors, but in his early years, he listened to his parents that his grandfather was an official in the county government in the early days, and this family was also prominent in the local area at that time. Later, because his grandfather was framed, so far, the personnel changes have made it to such a point, and he has been so poor that he has been so poor, but fortunately, his benefactor temporarily took him in, so that he can be regarded as having a place to eat and live. The old man of the Liu family wanted to accompany the two sons into the county government to catch the exam, and he could live in peace for the time being. But he is a son, how can his mother's funeral be spent by others, it is a sin that cannot be washed away in a lifetime. Thinking about it, there is still a valuable thing on his body, that is, the jade pendant. According to the mother, it is her own marriage, and she was reluctant to sell it when it was difficult before, but fortunately, the Zhang family has been ruined, what is the point of keeping it, it is better to be it, first pay back the funeral expenses of the mother, so as to make yourself a little more at ease. Besides, when the two sons are out, they can't spend other people's money on eating, drinking, and pulling. Thinking of this, my heart is much more steady. Slowly fall asleep.

......

It was late at night, and the sky began to go dark, and then it rained heavily. Under the osmanthus tree in the back garden of Liu's house, a black shadow suddenly flashed, and she slowly touched the bungalow behind. The black shadow tiptoed to the bottom of the porch, and slowly touched Xu Hugen's residence, she gently pushed the door, the door latched, she came to the window again, pushed the window, and the window was closed. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and it was raining heavily outside, and her movements were covered by the rain. The black shadow slowly picked the door latch with the tip of the scissors, then turned around and entered, and slowly touched Xu Hugen's bed, raised the scissors with both hands, and stabbed at Xu Hugen violently. Who knows, at this time, Xu Hugen, who was sleeping soundly, was lying flat, and suddenly came to sleep on his side, only to hear the sound of 'oops', which frightened the black shadow and took two steps back. The black shadow knew that the assassination would not succeed, so he was afraid of being exposed, so he got up and ran away.

Xu Hugen didn't have time to get dressed, chased to the door shirtless, and saw the figure of a girl, desperately running to the back wing room in the rain.

Xu Hugen stood in the doorway for a moment, no longer chasing the assassin. He lit the oil lamp, looked at his left arm, which was still bleeding, but fortunately it was not pierced deeply, and did not hurt the bones, and he looked at the quilt again, and the quilt was pierced with a large hole.

Xu Hugen tore a strip of cloth, bandaged the wound himself, he raised the oil lamp again, looked for it in the room, and issued a small pair of scissors on the ground.

Xu Hugen picked up the scissors, not thinking it was funny, it seems that this assassin is by no means a veteran. Although I haven't really fought or injured anyone, I still took the big knife, and this little pair of scissors wants to stab myself to death, but I am a dead person, otherwise I can let you stab casually? But he thought again, looking at the figure of the assassin, she is a girl, from the back, a bit like the maid Ziwei next to his wife, usually he is indifferent to himself, so he and she have no grievances in this life, no hatred in the previous life, a weak woman, why does she hate herself to the bone? There is only one possibility, her family has a hatred with the 'spear', and she hates the 'spear'. Xu Hugen sighed: Alas—it's no wonder that people are there.

......

Ziwei was bent on stabbing this little 'spear' to death in revenge, and she had no regrets about stabbing him to death. Who knew that he didn't stab him to death, but he fell not lightly, not to mention, if he chased after him, how would it be good? So the wearer, dressed in rain-soaked clothes, was pounding in his heart, trembling all over, and stood there stupidly, at a loss. Fortunately, Xu Hugen never chased after him. Is it that you have been stabbed to death by yourself, but if you are stabbed half to death, then what is good? Anxiety and fright are intertwined.

......

The next morning, having breakfast in the restaurant, unfortunately Ziwei and Xu Hugen took a photo, a few days ago, Ziwei always squinted when she saw Xu Hugen, and there was a sense of domineering, but today she was in a state, always lowered her head, did not dare to look directly at Hugen, and was very nervous when she saw it.

And Xu Hugen didn't seem to have happened, but smiled slightly.

......

Having breakfast, Xu Hugen came to a pawnshop alone, he took out a piece of jade pendant and handed it to the courtier on the counter.

Pan Chaofeng glanced at Xu Hugen, put on his gold-rimmed eyes, took out a magnifying glass and looked at it repeatedly. Pan Chaofeng's grandfather Pan Xifeng was originally a famous seal carving master during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, specializing in carving for the imperial court, his father is a famous carving master in Qingtian Mansion, he has learned art from them since he was a child, and is a famous jade identification expert, he carefully looked at this jade pendant, and saw that the whole jade pendant was transparent and round, and a dragon carved lifelike, as if he saw his father carving such a piece when he was a child. Asked: May I ask this guest officer, I don't know where this jade pendant came from?

Xu Hugen said: This thing is a family heirloom.

Pan Chaofeng asked again: Since it is a family heirloom, why should it be a thing?

Xu Hugen said: My mother died of illness and had no money to bury her, so my friend paid for my mother's coffin. After Xiaosheng is a mother, how can there be any reason to ask others to spend money for the coffin for his mother. This is also a helpless move in the future.

Pan Chaofeng said with a smile: It seems that the guest officer is also a filial son and a reasonable person. And said: It stands to reason that there should be half a piece of this jade pendant, that half of it should be a phoenix, and the dragon and phoenix are relatively good, and it is a pity that there are now.

Xu Hugen said: I admire Mr. Ming. This thing is the object of love in the afterlife, and half of it is in the woman, because of the chaos, the woman's family has been ruined. Therefore, there is still half of the piece that has disappeared.

Pan Chaofeng nodded and said, "Oh, I see. So how much silver do you want?

Xu Hugen said: After returning the coffin, I have to maintain my life in the next life, fifty taels of silver, I don't know what Mr. wants?

Pan Chaofeng didn't say a word, and took out fifty taels of silver on the spot and gave it to Xu Hugen. Xu Hugen signed a contract and returned to Liu's mansion.

......

Tomorrow, I will accompany the two sons to the county government to take the exam, and it is not convenient to carry so much money with me. Pay back the money for my mother's coffin first, and then talk about it slowly. So, he came to Liu Yong's study.

Liu Yong saw Xu Hugen coming in, got up and said: "Tomorrow you will be the county government, I don't know how you are preparing?"

Hugen Dao: The future life is prepared, and it is simple anyway.

Liu Yong said again: I have taken care of Mrs., and I will add a few clothes for you later.

Hugen shook his hand and said: The benefactor can't help it, anyway, I have a few old clothes that I can wear. Besides, the weather has warmed up, and there is no need for any clothes. I'm here now, and I just want to return my mother's coffin to my benefactor first, and pay back the other expenses later. So, he put a silver ticket of twenty taels on Liu Yong's table.

Liu Yong looked at Hugen with strange eyes. Dao: Where did you get the money?

Xu Hugen said: Please rest assured, no matter how poor I am Xu Hugen, I will not steal or rob, this money is completely my own, and it is bright and bright.

At this time, Liu Yong saw a bloodstain on the clothes on Xu Hugen's left arm, and walked over and said with concern: What's the matter with the bloodstains on your clothes, is your arm injured?

Xu Hugen looked at his arm, and the blood was still flowing out. Hurriedly said: I accidentally scratched it myself, it won't get in the way, it won't get in the way.

Liu Yongdao: The weather is getting hot, sweating is easy to infect, and Lang Zhong should be asked to apply some anti-inflammatory drugs. Liu Yong returned to the table and picked up a silver ticket of twenty taels and looked at it, but he was suspicious.
