Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Things and New Plans Chapter 5 The Sacrifice in the West of the City, the Dog Fights the Human Power (I)
Liu Yi is an ordinary child born in the city and grew up in the city, from childhood to adulthood, he and the poor children living in the north of the city eat and have fun together, grow up together, he never felt that he had anything special, if he had to find a difference, it was that he had never seen his mother.
Today is 340 A.D., the third day of the ninth month of the Han calendar.
At the end of the day, Liu Yi carried a flower basket and yellow paper and came to the mass grave in the west of the city alone.
Since he was six years old, Liu Yi's father asked him to come to the mass grave in the west of the city to burn paper every year.
Liu Yi, the little yellow hair, found the old locust tree that had been lost for a year, and under the locust tree, there was an unknown tombstone.
......
Every time he sits in front of this nameless tombstone, Liu Yi will always be full of thoughts, looking at this tombstone, Liu Yi muttered to himself uncontrollably.
Dad said: Lying under the tombstone is the woman who gave me life, I guess, it should be my mother!
Dad said: Lying under the tombstone is the seventh beauty in the world, I guess, my mother should be a fairy!
Dad said: The person lying under the tombstone used to be a thousand gold, I guess, when I married my father, it was my mother who suffered a loss, after all, my mother was worth a thousand gold, and my family is now, but it can only barely be regarded as well-off.
Dad never told me whether this is buried under the mother, I guess, this is the mother!
As for why the tombstone is nameless and the grave is ownerless, I guess it should be that my father drank too much wine and forgot his mother's name!
.......
Liu Yi sat beside the wordless tombstone, his thoughts a little chaotic for a while.
Xia Qing, who was affectionately called 'Boss Xia' by Liu Yi, usually only gave Liu Yi 20 baht a month, but every September, he would give Liu Yi more.
Liu Yi did not spend indiscriminately, in the forty baht money, he gave twenty baht to his father, and the rest of the money, he went to the market to buy three five-color dim sum, a pair of jujube cakes, five pears, used as a tribute to his mother, this year under the care of Xia Qing, he also brought half a jar of rice wine and half a roast chicken given by Xia Boss.
For ordinary people, twenty baht is only enough for five days of food and clothing, and Liu Yi doesn't understand what kind of magical power his father, who is reading and teaching in addition to drinking, can always make life okay!
He often wonders: Could it be that all this is helped by his mother? Ha ha.
......
There is no wind today, the autumn sun is still warm, the sky is cloudless, and the autumn air is not deep.
Liu Yi respectfully burned three incense sticks, kowtowed three heads, and burned three engraved papers, which can be regarded as sending 'money and food' to his mother.
Leaning next to the nameless monument, Liu Yi felt slightly cold, he wrapped his clothes, and wanted to stay with his mother for a while, but unintentionally, he began to talk to himself again.
"Mother, my father and I are quite moist, although we don't talk about big fish and meat, there is always meat in the dishes all year round. Boss Xia and his father are old friends, and he has always taken care of his son on weekdays, looking at the leftovers in the North Building, he will always change his method to bring some back to me, so that Dad can often feast. ”
"Dad likes to drink some wine, but it's far from the drunkard that Boss Xia said, with the life of the past few years has improved a little, Dad will also use the balance in his pocket to go to the Qingyin Pavilion to have a dash, I heard that Dad always has to chant poems after getting drunk, quite a bit of a madman's style."
"Over the years, my father has added a little gray hair, and there are a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but there is a little more of an old charm, and he looks very calm and chic.
Liu Yi patted the withered grass on the ground and smiled, "Mother, my father often says: Twilight snow and frost, don't change your heroic spirit!" Every time I look at my father's drunkenness and his illness in the Zigui School, I always feel very chic. Presumably, when my father was young, he must have been a merry and talented man! ”
That's what you deserve to kiss you.
Mother, my father rarely disciplines me, but every time I am beaten is because of reading. In addition to helping Boss Xia, Yi'er had to read books for two and a half hours every day before she could go out with Li Erniu and them.
This year, I read the seven books of "Analects", "Dictatorship", "Wenshi Zhenjing", "Shangjun Book", "Three Strategies", "Guiguzi" and "Yanzi Spring and Autumn", and the endorsement is very hard, and my father never asks me to memorize by rote, just read the gist and righteousness, but it is also very difficult.
Mother, there are always a few days a month, Dad doesn't go home at night, guess, Dad should also want to kiss you!
Liu Yi was low for a moment, with some remorse: In front of his mother, he shouldn't mention so many sad things!
So, Liu Yi cleared his throat, smiled at the nameless tombstone, and said to himself, "Mother, mother!" I remember eight months ago, my father came back with goose feathers and heavy snow, and brought me a brown foal, the foal is very cute, I can't put it down, I heard that a hundred years ago, Lu Bu, who was feathered in Xuan, was called Chitu, hey, so your son I named it Saichitu. ”
"Dad said he wanted to teach me to ride a horse, and on the fourth day of Saichitu's homecoming, I rode it around the streets and alleys, which made Li Erniu envious! But lately, I always feel that Saichitu guy is running slower and slower, and my dad said that I fed him too fat! Ha ha! ”
"Mother, the neighbors are all called Dad Liu Laosan, they all say that Dad is the third son of the Liu family, the largest family in Huaxing County, and I don't know if it's true or not, if it's true, how can there be such a down-and-out son in this world, if it's fake, how can the neighbors say it?"
"And also, do you know mother? Yesterday, Grandpa Dongfang said that the third child of the Liu family was the head of the three heroes of Quzhou, if his father was really the third son of the Liu family, then his father was also a man of the hour! If you calculate it this way, you are still a good match for your seventh in the world! ”
Liu Yi leaned against the tombstone, smirking stupidly, although he was alone in a mass grave, he was not afraid!
The dog in the west of the city barked and woke up from the dream, and there was no mother to whisper.
The wild geese are left unrestrained, and they fly from the north to the south.
How bitter the heart of a motherless child is, only the passing years and the motherless child know.
......
A burst of dog barking called the half-asleep Liu Yi back to the world!
The short-term warmth was suddenly broken, Liu Yi couldn't cry or laugh, and he was also a little annoyed in his heart: A few uninteresting wild dogs disturbed my dreams and messed up my thoughts, which is unbearable!
Angry, Liu Yi broke the dead branch of an old locust tree beside him, and angrily looked for the barking place.
Liu Yi crossed the road and walked into a cedar forest, but when he heard the rustling of pine leaves and the sound of barking, the wind mixed with the sounds of crying, shouting, scolding and tearing, which gave Liu Yi a bad premonition.
The closer he got, Liu Yi began to bow his head and prostrate himself, hiding behind a big cedar tree that was very close to the barking sound, he was stunned and saw a terrifying scene!
I saw that the Dongfang Yu girl had her feet off the ground, her ankles, waist, and shoulders were firmly tied to a cedar tree by three thick ropes, the tiger head shoes had long been gone, a pair of phoenix eyes were with tears, and a cherry lips were scolding.
Next to her, four sturdy men dressed as servants were surrounding Dongfang Chunsheng on all sides, and the sturdy men greeted Dongfang Chunsheng with hoes in their hands.
Liu Yi looked around the field and saw two people standing twenty steps away.
A person with a black crown of red brocade, a square face and a pointed nose, black cheeks, ordinary height, lean figure, and four vicious dogs in his hands, watched the 'farce' in the field with great interest.
A person with a wide shirt and a wide back, a gray cloth tied in a bun, a tiger's waist and bear arms, a mouth with withered grass in his mouth, and his hands on his waist, the old monk closed his eyes and recuperated as if he was calm, and he didn't care about the scene in the field.
Seeing this, Liu Yi was slightly angry in his heart, and secretly thought: No matter what entanglement Dongfang grandson has with you and others, it is not a gentleman to bully the old and weak like this.
Seeing that the road was uneven, so he drew his sword, Liu Yi decided to take a look at the situation again, if these guys had the intention of killing, he would rescue them!
Half a quarter of an hour later, the middle-aged man with Zhu Jin and the black crown had a great reduction in his heart to watch the 'drama', so he teased, only to see him dragging four drooling vicious dogs, walking slowly towards Dongfang Yu, and said with a cruel smile while walking, "Dongfang girl, don't worry, I wanted to beat this Dongfang old man to death with a stick first, and then use your virgin meat to feed me, a god dog who has been hungry for a day. When you get below, don't blame me, who let you speak freely, and said the words that should not be said and the things that should not be taken in the Wangbei Tower. Damn you! Damn it! ”
"I'm a shallow king, I didn't expect that there would be a shameless old turtle like you in Xiaohuaxing County. Liu Laogou, you'd better kill me today, otherwise one day my aunt and grandmother will learn great magical powers, and you will all light the sky lanterns, even people and dogs! ”
Dongfang Yu's voice was hoarse, her little face was flushed, and she screamed hard, and in front of the four vicious dogs, a trace of fear began to appear in her eyes.
Liu Shu turned a deaf ear, and peeked at Dongfang Chunsheng with his spare eyes, Dongfang Chunsheng saw that his granddaughter was in trouble, and sure enough, the old man tilted his head and scolded Liu Bu, "Liu Bu, you ignorant erector, you poisonous treasure, you dare to abuse lynching!" ”
Liu Yi's heart fluttered, and then he suddenly realized.
Liu Bu! The middle-aged man with the black crown in front of him is the big housekeeper of the Lingyuan Liu family, Liu Bu!
Then, the reason why Dongfang's grandson was beaten today can be imagined.
A few days ago, Dongfang Chunsheng lost his words after drinking in Wangbei Building, and gave Lingyuan Liu's family a bad evaluation, today, this Liu Buding was ordered to surround Dongfang's grandson to find a place.
Liu Yi secretly glanced at Liu Bu, and at this time, Liu Bu showed an extremely smug smile on his face, stretched his neck and shouted, "The old bastard has been tricked!" ”
Liu Yi was suddenly shocked in his heart: It's not good, Grandpa Dongfang has fallen into a plan to attack the west.
When Dongfang Chunsheng was distracted, the hoe handle in the hands of the evil servants immediately grabbed the gap and swept into the waist of Dongfang Grandpa, Dongfang Chunsheng fell to the ground in response, and the four evil servants took advantage of the momentum to pursue, Dongfang Grandpa lost his shoes and lost his shoes, leaving only the strength to raise his arms to parry.
Liu Yi clenched his fists, anger burned in his heart, and he was filled with righteous indignation.
Dongfang's grandfather and grandson, just because the restaurant mentioned Lingyuan Liu's family, they were going to be secretly killed, what is the reason? In the world, how can there be such a reason!
The Liu family is hateful, the grandchildren are pathetic, and the world is hateful, how can this be true!
Faced with a desperate situation, Liu Yi, a weak young man, decided to come to the rescue.
