In June, Shanyin County, a state in the south of Zhao State, was engulfed by floods, turning hundreds of miles into Daze, and countless people died in this flood.

People who were lucky enough to survive the floods fled to other states and counties with their families and families to survive.

The torrential rain fell for more than a month, causing the river upstream to burst and inundate San'in County downstream.

In this flood, there is a hidden bloody case, as the flood spreads, everything will be buried in the flood, perhaps only when the flood dissipates and Daze dries up, the tragedy here will have a chance to see the light of day.

"Fire, big fire!"

"Ke'er, let's go!"

"Auntie!" Chen Ke woke up suddenly, his forehead was sweating, his heart was trembling, and his heart hurt.

Chen Ke subconsciously used the breathing method given to him by Uncle Wang to regulate the sharp pain in his chest.

Begin to inhale, sink into the air, and swim the canopy......

"Mother, he's awake." A child's voice rang in my ears.

"Little brother, you're awake."

A gentle voice followed, with a deep sense of concern.

Chen Ke subconsciously said: "Auntie, I made a bad ......"

Not a nightmare! Chen Ke looked around, this was a strange place, not his room.

"It's true! It's all true! Chen Ke was suddenly stunned.

Chenjia Village was slaughtered by a group of wicked people, and my aunt and Uncle Wang also died in that disaster.

"Uh......" Chen Ke covered his heart, it hurt, it hurt too much, he remembered, it seemed that he had been pierced through the heart by a sword, he should be dead.

"This ......"

The door was pushed open, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman walked in with a medicine, her skin was rough, and a blue-black cloth was wrapped around her head to prevent moisture from gathering on her head while cooking.

"Little brother, let's take medicine first."

Although the woman's appearance was ordinary, her tone was very gentle, very similar to Chen Ke's aunt's tone, and with a look of concern, she sat at the head of Chen Ke's bed with medicine.

The woman put the medicine on the board next to her, lifted Chen Ke's upper body slightly, and put a pillow for Chen Ke to lean on it. She picked up the medicine again and fed Chen Ke spoonful by spoonful.

Chen Ke stopped the breathing method taught by Uncle Wang, took the medicine and looked at the environment of the room with a puzzled look.

The house is very basic, and the furnishings are simple, two tables, three chairs. A child dressed in coarse cloth stared at Chen Ke with big eyes, his innocent eyes full of curiosity.

The medicine is very bitter, but it is not as bitter as Chen Ke's heart.

Chen Ke had already felt the temperature of the medicinal soup, proving that he was still alive, but the slight pain in his heart made Chen Ke understand that the catastrophe was not a dream, it really happened.

Aunt and Uncle Wang, they would never laugh and call him home for dinner again.

After taking the medicine, the middle-aged woman packed up the medicine bowl, looked at Chen Ke and said, "Little brother, what is your name and where is your home?" ”

"I ......" Chen Ke's voice was a little hoarse, "My name is Chen Ke, home, there is no home anymore......"

"So you don't have a home either!" The little boy next to him grinned, "Did your mother also sell your family?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the naughty little boy angrily: "Go, don't talk nonsense." ”

The middle-aged woman said, "It turned out to be Brother Chen." My surname is Qin, you can call me sister-in-law Qin, this is my son, his name is Xiaobao. Don't be angry, Xiaobao is too young to understand what it means to have no home. ”

Chen Ke laughed dryly and said, "Sister-in-law Qin, don't worry, I won't be angry." ”

Sister-in-law Qin said: "You slept for half a month, and the doctor said that you were not saved, and I touched you and was still angry, so I brought you back for treatment, who knew that you really came back to life." ”

Sister-in-law Qin said and stood up and pulled the child out: "You can rest first, and when you are better, you will get out of bed and move." ”

Chen Ke nodded: "Thank you." ”

Sister-in-law Qin said with a smile: "Everyone has a time when they are in trouble, and being able to save someone's life can be regarded as accumulating more yin virtue for the family." ”

Sister-in-law Qin took Xiaobao out and gently closed the door.

Chen Ke clenched his fists, raised his somewhat weak arm with difficulty, and ripped off his clothes, revealing his chest.

It was tied with gauze, and a strong smell of medicine came.

"It's not fake...... Chen Ke had tears in his eyes, and his eyes were red: "It's really not fake, why am I still alive!" ”

Hatred falls into a broken heart, and it is blood that cannot be dissolved.

Chen Ke didn't know why he was still alive, but he wanted to find those wicked people and let them pay for their debts!

The heartache struck again, and Chen Ke had to adjust his breathing, using the breathing method given by Uncle Wang to slowly reduce the pain in his chest. The pain in the body can be relieved, but the pain in the heart, how to alleviate it!

Every day, Sister-in-law Qin came with a bowl of medicine, at first Chen Ke's body was weak, so she could only let Sister-in-law Qin wait, and when Chen Ke felt almost recovered, she took the medicine by herself.

This moment is half a month past.

Chen Ke also knew where this was, and this was the state and county to the east of Shanyin County. There was a flood in San'in County, and the entire San'in County was flooded and turned into a flood. The surrounding states and counties were also unlucky, some farmland was flooded, and Qin's sister-in-law's field was flooded.

Qin's sister-in-law sold the fields and houses in the countryside and the family's cattle, and took her son Xiaobao to go to the capital to find her husband who was an official, but she went out and met Chen Ke who drifted along the flood.

Sister-in-law Qin rescued Chen Ke and delayed her time to go to the capital.

Qin's sister-in-law was kind by nature, and found that Chen Ke still had a weak breath, so she invited a doctor to treat her, and the doctor shook his head again and again after seeing Chen Ke, saying that he was hopeless. Sister-in-law Qin asked the doctor to treat the disease and prescribe medicine, no matter whether it was saved or not, as long as there was still a breath left, she would save it if she could save it.

Chen Ke thanked Sister-in-law Qin many times, but Sister-in-law Qin said that it didn't matter, she said that whoever encountered this kind of thing would help.

It was another quiet night.

Chen Ke was already able to get out of bed and walk, he sat on the bed, exhaling and inhaling regularly, and the moonlight shone into the room through the window.

The dull pain in his chest had been weakening, and the sword wound in his heart was about to heal, and there was only a bloody scab on it.

Chen Ke let out a breath of turbidity, he felt dazed at this time, there was boundless hatred in his heart, but he didn't know who to vent to.

He didn't know where the men in black came from, and he didn't even know their names.

Saying that he wants revenge is just a joke.

"Cross tattoo!"

Chen Ke only remembered this thing.

In Zhao State, only prisoners will be tattooed and matched with the army, Chen Ke plans to find the official office here first to ask what the origin of this cross tattoo is.

With a lot of confusion, Chen Ke warned himself that he must be calm, he could use ten or twenty years to find his enemy, but he couldn't be impatient!

Because those people are no ordinary thieves!

"Auntie, Uncle Wang." Chen Ke clenched his fists and looked at the stars in the sky, as if they were the embodiment of his family, he said: "I will not let you die in vain, I will avenge you, I will also avenge the village, and let those wicked people repay your blood with their lives!" ”

It was another morning, Chen Ke had returned to normal, and he had no accidents except for adjusting his breathing every day. Even the old doctor who treated Chen Ke shook his head and said that Chen Ke was the brother-in-law of Lord Yan, and he survived because Lord Yan did not accept his life.

Chen Ke asked Qin's sister-in-law about the location of the county office, and he planned to go to the county office to inquire about the news of the cross tattoo.

Sister-in-law Qin said: "My father-in-law is an official in the capital, and the county lord here gives me a few thin noodles, report my name when you go, and he will receive you." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law Qin." After Chen Ke thanked him, he went to the county office.

Because of the flood, there were many beggars in the city. At the entrance of the county office, there are many victims waiting for soup kitchen.

Chen Ke found the official at the door, said his intention, and even said the name of Qin's sister-in-law, the official asked Chen Ke to wait, went in to report, and waited for a long time, the official came out and took Chen Ke into the county office.

"What, you said that your village was destroyed by bandits!"

The county magistrate was a man of about fifty, with a sparse beard and a shiny face.

"You have proof!"

When Chen Ke heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "There is no evidence, if the adults follow me back to Chenjia Village, Shanyin County, I can see the evidence." ”

The county magistrate said: "Young man, this is Junjiang County, not your Shanyin County." It stands to reason that you are from Sanyin County, and if you file a complaint, you need to go to the county government of Sanyin County. It's just that now that Sanyin County has become Shanyin Ze, I can help you some, but this county can't help you with this kind of big case! ”

Chen Ke was a little unacceptable, and said: "My lord, that's hundreds of lives, don't you avenge the people?" ”

"Avengement." The county magistrate smiled after hearing this, and said, "Young man, you are still too young. I can't even redress the grievances of this county, can I still help you redress the grievances of Shanyin County? Now that San'in County has become Daze, everything has passed, so let's live well. ”

After hearing this, Chen Ke clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of anger.

The county magistrate glanced at Chen Ke, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said, "Young man, a moment of anger will only make you regret it, don't go the wrong way." ”

Chen Ke was slightly shocked in his heart, this county order is right, he can't lose his mind because of anger.

"Since adults can't help me, I want to ask adults about something." Chen Ke said.

The county magistrate said: "You are a relative introduced by the Qin family, if I know, I can tell you." ”

Chen Ke asked: "Dare to ask your lord, do you know what kind of crime cross tattoo is?" ”

"Cross tattoos." The county magistrate read it, then his eyes shrank slightly, and he quietly picked up the teacup, tasted it again, swallowed it and said, "I haven't heard of any cross tattoos in this county." ”

"Haven't heard of it!" This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and the clues that originally existed disappeared again.

The county magistrate said again: "However, there is a Master Longtu Long in Jingzhao Mansion in the capital, who is called Qingtian by you who have been wronged, and he is also familiar with all kinds of criminal cases, maybe he knows what you want to ask." ”

After hearing this, Chen Ke was originally a hopeless result, but hope appeared again.

Beijing, Lord Longtu!

After Chen Ke thanked him, he said goodbye and left.

A burly strong man came out next to the county magistrate, and he asked, "My lord, why didn't you tell him about the cross tattoo?" ”

The county magistrate shook his head and said, "We can't provoke those guys, let those who can provoke them provoke." There are too many grievances in this world, some can be extended, get a good reputation, and some can't be touched, touch it, and my official career will come to an end! ”
