Chapter 21, The End
The glow of the setting sun stained the sky for hundreds of millions of miles, the endless clouds turned into dazzling colors, and the beautiful glow passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, enveloping the entire Changshan City, turning all the scenery into golden and clear.
At this time, under the huge willow tree in Willow Hutong, there will always be many women, sewing and mending at the same time, gossiping about the family's shortcomings.
Today is no exception.
Willow Alley can't hide things.
In the afternoon, Fang Rui asked for food from Caigen's sister-in-law and other three families, as well as the help of Uncle Zaohuai's family, and the rumors were spreading.
This new thing under the sun has naturally become the subject of today's gossip.
"Sister-in-law Caigen, Brother Rui of the Fang family, did you really go to your house to ask for the borrowed grain?" A young woman asked.
Isn't that pouring salt on the wound? ’
Sister-in-law Caigen's face changed, and she felt uncomfortable sitting down, so she couldn't help but say, "What's that...... I still have some things at home, so I'll go back first. ”
After she left.
Puff puff!
Behind him, there was a burst of laughter, half joking, half mocking.
"I heard that not only Caigen's sister-in-law's family, but also the borrowed grain from the other two families were also asked to go back."
After Sister-in-law Caigen left, the group of women talked about it even more unscrupulously.
"It's true! My family lives not far from Zaohuai's house, and I happened to see ...... at that time."
Another woman envied: "Good fellow, there are enough: a small bag of wheat bran, wild vegetables, and oil, all of which have been given to Zaohuai's family...... Brother Fang Jiarui is really generous! ”
"I heard that it is borrowed, not given to ......" someone said pantothenic.
"It's said to be borrowed, and I'll pay it back when the year is good, but what's the difference between this and giving it for nothing? This is also called borrowing, sisters and sisters, all borrow some food from my family? ”
"Yes, I borrow too, the more the merrier, the more the merrier."
"Hahahaha!"
The air was filled with a sense of joy.
After laughing, another woman spoke, and said with emotion: "Alas, the Zaohuai family was about to be unable to survive, and I looked like they were going to starve to death, but now, they can hold on again......"
"This is called: being a man with one's own blessings!"
"Yes, those few families didn't say it, and now, I'm afraid they all regret it in their hearts...... Didn't you see the face of Sister-in-law Caigen? ”
"Well deserved! I look at Brother Fang Jiarui, he is also a bright person, with clear grievances and grievances, and he will repay his kindness if he has ......"
……
Not only did these women gossip, but the men of the family also talked about it during dinner in the evening.
There are more people who understand and see Fang Rui's wrist clearly: treat those different practices differently, pull a batch, and fight a batch.
At the same time of revenge, a benchmark for gratitude was erected.
Everyone will think: Uncle Zaohuai's family helped the Fang family, but it didn't work, and they got a huge return, so what about us?
If you really want to be close to the Fang family, if you help your family, if you encounter something at home, the Fang family will stand by and watch? It must be more generous, right?
Out of this mind.
The men of each family all confessed to their daughters-in-law and children, and they had more contact with Fang Xue's family, and even the children in the family were also told to have a good relationship with Fang Ling.
……
In the next period of time, Fang Xue found that his popularity became extremely good, his neighbors were warm, and everyone rushed to help with small things.
Fang Ling is also stained, as if he has become the child king of Willow Hutong.
Even Fang Rui, even if there is a deterrent after Song Dashan's beheading, the other neighbors are more close when they meet.
Fang Rui didn't care about these things, but Fang Xue's and Fang Ling's were different.
The beheading of Song Dashan may alienate the neighbors from the Fang family, and suffer cold violence along with the Xue family and Fang Ling, but this possibility was resolved before it appeared.
Perhaps, there are more small troubles that have been eliminated invisibly, and the feedback from the robbery point is the best proof.
In short, I want to go back to the three sisters-in-law to borrow grain, and I have revenge; Pick up Uncle Zaohuai's family, and return the love...... This move made Fang Rui win.
……
Time goes back to this night.
After dinner.
"Mother, Ling'er, the old rule, you go to the cellar." Fang Rui said.
"Hey!"
Fang Xue was used to it, agreed, and led the well-behaved Fang Ling into the cellar.
Outside.
Rumble!
Fang Rui moved a specially found boulder and blocked the cellar door.
This boulder is extremely heavy, it is not talented, born strong, or a martial artist, and it can't be moved at all, which ensures the safety of the two to the greatest extent.
As for the air inside?
Don't worry, it has its own vents.
In fact, after the incident with Song Dashan, the neighbors of Liushu Hutong are unlikely to be demons, but aren't there still people outside the Hutong?
To be on the safe side, Fang Rui still let Fang Xue and Fang Ling hide in the cellar.
After they entered, he went back to the house, but he didn't bring a medicine bag with him, and went to the black market.
Instead, Ge Bu masked himself and went straight to Song Dashan's house.
'Song Dashan is dead, but his family still has: Aunt Cauliflower, Xiaoqiu, Xiaohua ......'
Fang Rui was hesitating whether to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Yes, this morning, he said to Aunt Cauliflower that he would not hold a grudge in the future, and he would do whatever he wanted.
But in fact, how is it possible?!
Not to mention anything else, Song Dashan died because of the Fang family, if Aunt Cauliflower, or Xiaoqiu and Xiaohua, have hatred and are bent on revenge, it is a great destabilizing factor.
What, are they women, children?
But as long as you hold scissors and find the right opportunity, women and children can still attack and kill adults.
'I'm not afraid, but what about my mother and Ling'er? ’
Fang Rui's eyes flashed.
It is impossible for him to protect the two of them for twelve hours a day, in case, he is really attacked by the women and children of the Song family, and if something happens, it will definitely be unbearable pain!
'In my character, I am accustomed to nipping danger in the bud...... Can be done to women and children...... In particular, they haven't really shown hostility......
Fang Rui's eyes flashed with a look of struggle: "That's it, let's go and take a look first, and then decide what to do next!" ’
……
Song family.
The night was slightly cool, and the cold moonlight flowed in slowly, making the house extremely lonely and cold.
"Mother, woo, dad is dead!" Little Flower Wow Wow cried.
"Did the Fang Ling family do it? I heard it, and they said, "Brother Fang Ling......"
Xiaoqiu was only seven years old, but he was already a little sensible, so he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his eyes full of hatred.
"No, it's none of Fang's business."
Aunt Cauliflower pulled the two children and muttered, "Don't hate, hate, don't learn from your father to hurt others...... Remember? ”
"Remember, remember." Xiaohua replied with a choked voice.
But the hillock did not speak, snorted, and turned his head away.
"...... the Hillock"
Aunt Cauliflower's expression suddenly became stern, and she straightened the hill, accentuated her tone, and asked almost like a roar, "Remember?" ”
"Remembered." Xiaoqiu finally said.
"Ugh."
Aunt Cauliflower looked at Xiaoqiu's reaction and sighed in disappointment, knowing her son Mo Ruomu, how could she not see that Xiaoqiu was unconvinced.
"That's it! That's it! ”
In an instant, her whole body collapsed as if she had been pulled out of a bone, shook her head, and said calmly: "Well, since you want to know, I will tell you, tell you the truth, and tell you ......"
“…… Your father stole the Fang family's grain, in this world, food is life...... Moreover, your father used scissors, which was to kill people, but Brother Fang Jiarui has the ability, and he didn't achieve it...... Moreover, this is a ...... sentence from the government."
"Even if you want to hate, you should hate the Tiger Gang, hate this world, and what does it matter to the Fang family? It's just a hard worker. ”
Such heart-to-heart words were spread out, which made Xiaoqiu's eyes full of confusion for a while, and he listened to it, but he didn't know who to hate.
Aunt Cauliflower continued, regardless of whether the two children could understand or not, or rather, they had to understand and be precocious when they encountered a big change.
"Actually, what hatred and revenge are all things that have no shadow, the reality is: how should my mother live with you......"
"Your father is not here, there is no head of the house, and the food is about to bottom out...... This is to break the house...... What can I do? ”
"Moreover, I have to pay the Tiger Gang a regular amount of money......"
Aunt Cauliflower seemed to be talking to the two children, and seemed to be muttering to herself.
She couldn't solve such a problem, and the two children were naturally even more unlikely to give an answer. Even, such a pale reality frightened them for a while.
Little Flower was so frightened that she stopped sobbing; Xiaoqiu's eyes were even more hollow, and he was so shocked that he lost his heart.
"This willow alley can't be kept!"
Aunt Cauliflower was silent for a long time, and finally made up her mind: "There is chaos outside the city, and there is no way to go, only to go to Dongcheng and go to your grandma's house!" ”
Of course, this choice may not be very good, the widow's daughter leads the child back to the door, and she doesn't have to think about it, she knows that she will suffer a lot of white eyes.
Life over there is also not easy, and if you lead your two children over, you may not be able to survive.
But it's a road after all!
Aunt Cauliflower has a strong executive ability, and immediately began to pack up her things: "You also help, let's clean up overnight...... Wait for tomorrow, before dawn, leave Willow Hutong......"
……
'It's okay to go, don't embarrass me. ’
Fang Rui thought secretly.
Yes, he stood outside the window and heard the tail from the beginning.
Aunt Cauliflower didn't let the two children hate the Fang family - maybe sincerely, maybe she just didn't want the two children to live in hatred;
The whole family was leaving Willow Alley – more, just to survive.
No matter what the reason, these two factors made Fang Rui dispel his murderous intent.
Otherwise......
No, who knows what choice they will make if it doesn't come to an end in this world?
This cannibalistic world can always force people to 'no human beings, no ghosts and no ghosts'...... This time may have passed, but next time, how will I choose? ’
Fang Rui had no answer.
He sighed faintly in his heart, disappeared into the shadows, and quietly departed.
……
The next day, in the morning.
The neighbors were shocked to find that the door of the Song family was wide open, and Aunt Cauliflower, along with her two children: Xiaoqiu and Xiaohua, were gone
Even some slightly valuable things such as bedding are gone.
A group of neighbors gathered outside, chattering.
"Where did the Song family go?"
"Who knows? It looks like packing things and leaving on your own initiative...... I guess I went to my relatives, right? ”
"That's right, the man who has no pillar of the Song family still has to pay a regular ......"
"How much better can you get away from Willow Alley? Don't talk about sending people under the fence, let's just say, where are there no gangs in our Changshan County? ”
"Alas, they are all hard-working people......"
……
Some of them, with dark thoughts, speculated that it might be related to the Fang family, but of course, they didn't dare to say it.
Fang Rui knew it, but he didn't care.
After watching the excitement, the song ended, and he and the three ladies left together.
The third lady suddenly asked: "Brother Rui, the Song family ended up like this, can you relieve your hatred?" ”
"Hatred?"
Fang Rui was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "They are all hard-working people, what do you hate?" ”
He didn't lie, he really didn't hate, whether it was sending Song Dashan to the official and shocking his neighbors; Or last night, I went to Song's house to eavesdrop and guard against danger......
From beginning to end, it's just for self-preservation.
"Yes."
The third lady bowed slightly, and she didn't know if she believed it or not.
"One more thing, don't you explain?"
She rolled her eyes: "Brother Rui, you helped me carry the water urn a month ago, and you entered the product, right?" And said that he got a prescription and cured his body? It's so hard to hide it from me! ”
"Haha, what, it's a last resort."
Fang Rui touched his nose in embarrassment: "In this world, how can you rest assured if you don't hide some means?" ”
"Don't say anything else,"
He suddenly looked at the third lady: "Third sister, aren't you too?" The world is so chaotic, you have no back? ”
The head of the reserve army in the county, who has been away from the city for so long, with the appearance of the third lady, but no one harasses him, it is obviously not so simple.
The third lady would not answer positively, took out the privilege of a woman, and said: "How can my sister have any backhand?" When you encounter difficulties, you have to count on Brother Rui to pull you! ”
"Of course." Fang Rui responded happily.
Having said that, he will still weigh it, if he can do it, he will not get into big trouble, and he will help.
Forget it for the rest.
This is still a good relationship with the three ladies' family...... If the other neighbors of Willow Hutong just nodded their heads, Fang Rui would kill them?
It's not that there is no sympathy, it's true: in this world, there are too many injustices, and I can't manage it!
The general atmosphere of society is: more things are better than less things.
Unbelief?
When I went out for a walk, on the street outside, how many injustices were being staged every day, and passers-by passed by, and they all quickly avoided and left.
