"You guys come in first." Old man Ding stood up with his sore knees, pulled along the way, and dragged the bench to Ding Xuewei: "Sit." ”

After being tired for half a night and walking for another day, not to mention her knees, Ding Xuewei even had pain in her thigh bones.

Without subtlety, she pulled the stool and sat down.

Compared with Old Man Ding's regular sitting posture, Ding Xuewei can be said to have no sitting appearance at all, not only collapsed her shoulders, but also leaned her back against the wall.

His eyes flashed, and Old Man Ding didn't say anything and pulled the two little ones into the small courtyard.

The weather in December is the coldest everywhere.

Ding Xuewei and Old Man Ding sat side by side at the door with empty eyes, their hands turning over and over to absorb the heat emitted by the not too strong flames in the brazier in front of them.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Ding Xuewei, who had never opened her mouth since letting the two babies go in to rest after dinner, suddenly spoke.

His voice was hoarse: "Grandpa, you go in and rest." ”

Old man Ding tilted his gaze slightly, looking at his eldest granddaughter who was staring at the flames for a moment.

"You go, after that, you keep watch for the day, and grandpa keeps watch for the night."

Old man Ding didn't know if Pandi could come back, and he didn't know when the news would have to go.

A little, but he knew it.

For a while, he or a few children couldn't let go.

"You're a girl, grandpa doesn't worry about you keeping vigil alone."

At night, Ding Xuewei was not afraid, but Old Man Ding was not at ease.

After thinking about it, she nodded and stood up.

Time passed day by day, the news was updated day after day, the matter about the fire went from the beginning of the confusion to the final truth, and the person looking for Pandi went from the beginning of the positive to the final negative.

This day is the fifth day of Pandi's loss.

Early in the morning, the Li family pulled Ding Xuewei to move with affection and reason.

Hanging her head, her eyes were dark and blue, she said sneeringly: "Grandma, I understand." ”

"It's good to understand, your grandfather is old, and his spirit these days is really bad!" Li Shi is satisfied with Ding Xuewei's attitude: "Pandi's child is blessed and sensible, but if she wants to come back, she will come back one day!" ”

Li felt that it was easier to fool the eldest granddaughter and not lead the old man to continue his unrealistic dreams than to say more.

She didn't know that when Pandi could come back, it would turn into a sharp sword and hang straight above the heads of everyone in the Ding family.

A sentence of good and evil will be rewarded in the end, Ding Xuewei went to persuade the old man.

Old man Ding was in charge of his age, and he stayed up for five days in a row, and the whole person was already depressed, and when he saw that the children in the big house had given up, he staggered up without saying anything.

After receiving the big bowl sent by Di, Ding Xuewei ate silently, and after eating, the three sisters and brothers sat against the wall, looking up at the sky at forty-five.

The fire that day was man-made, by three women who had suffered so much.

A mob a few months ago took the lives of three generations of men in their family, and after that, they were forcibly seized by two gangster fathers and sons in the same alley, and the infant children were thrown to death.

They had no way to ask for help and could not be taken care of by the neighbors, so they reported to the authorities.

Three generations of women entered the yamen with the decision to die, but when they came out, the three of them entered the house of the rogue father and son.

The two fathers and sons were too eloquent, and they were obviously doing bad things, but they packaged themselves as salvation.

I don't know what the Tongzhi lord who tried the case thinks, he actually let the father and son marry the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for two generations, and entrusted the lonely old woman to the two to take care of.

The prisoner became a husband, who could stand it, at that time, the three generations of daughters-in-law of this family were all looking for death, but the strange thing is that the three of them hit the wall, hanged themselves, and even committed suicide were saved, but they did not die.

The three of them, who thought that God was instructing them, dispelled the idea of suicide and began the great cause of revenge.

The father and son are not good things, taking advantage of the neighborhood to leave to avoid the disaster, the hooligan forces in the United City ransacked almost all the empty houses in the city, and with the small gate they pried open, the layout of the old woman is much simpler.

On that day, the hooligan father and son were put down by the champion red dug up by the two women in the family, and their necks were cut by the kitchen knife at home.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, giving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law enough help, attracting the uncontrollable flames of the officials to the surroundings.

The fire that exceeded expectations was very exciting, not only did the prefect who came in a hurry stumble and kowtow to receive the lunch box directly, but also let them smoothly approach the Tongzhi who sentenced them to the bad guys, and took his life in one fell swoop.

The two biggest officials in the city died that night, and the people who pieced together the truth before and after felt that they were not slacking off and admired the IQ of the old and young three daughters-in-law.

Only Ding Xuewei is afraid, afraid of the arrangement of fate.

In the novel, the prefect hanged himself early in the morning, and this Tongzhi didn't stay up for long.

If the damned person has to die, then she and An Ping are counting the days to live.

Get off the carriage and step on the air, and when you lean back, your head hits the wheel and dies, there is such a thing, and there is nothing that can be done to make up for the leakage!

"Big Sister~"

Pan Di's delicate and eager voice came.

Ding Xuewei, who was thinking about how to teach Laidi and what to hide for her, raised her hand and plucked her ears.

"Big sister! Woo woo woo~~"

Seeing Pandi, who was the backbone of the main heart, the fear that had been pent up for several days finally exploded.

rushed into Ding Xuewei's arms like a cannonball, crying breathlessly.

"Pan, pan, pan Di~~" Lai Di couldn't believe it.

"Third sister, third sister! You're finally back~" Anping cried with joy.

Lai Di and An Ping, who were sitting on both sides of Ding Xuewei, leaned towards Pan Di, hugged Pan Di tightly, and cried with big snot and small tears.

Ding Xuewei, who was pressed against the wall by the third baby, still maintained a forty-five-degree angle in her gaze, but now she couldn't see the sky, but was facing an old man's secretive gaze.

"Sister Pandi, hello, I am Pandi's master Jin Ruyu."

The appearance of the old man in his sixties and seventies, with long eyebrows and long beards, is prosperous and peaceful, a coarse cotton short brown is old but very clean, and the posture of holding his beard is calm and chic, like an old naughty boy in the Condor... It seems to be a master of the world in martial arts films.

"What Master?"

Ding Xuewei asked eagerly, there was obvious horror in her voice, her eyes were still looking at the old man, but her hand escaped from the shackles of Pan Di, grabbed the end of Pan Di's hair, and forced Pan Di to forget to cry in pain.

"I am a jade carver, and I am grateful to your sister for saving her life, so I took her as an apprentice."

The old man answered for Pandi very considerately, and the eyebrows that Ding Xuewei raised without a trace when she started seemed to be an illusion.

"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well these days, and I've been letting your sister take care of her, so that she can't go home to report the news, which makes you worry."

Ding Xuewei's round bright eyes puffed out a few big words.

The corners of the old man's lips, which were already full of smiles, curved up even more.

Curling his beard, he pulled up Anping, and then logically grabbed the bench.

"Blame me for being so smoky that your sister was so worried that she forgot to talk to you."
