Chapter 27: Russell (4)

's mother is from Hangzhou, and her acquaintance with Liu Zhitian was by the West Lake in Hangzhou.

I heard my mother say that back then, Liu Zhitian went to Hangzhou to play and fell in love with his mother at first sight. Subsequently, he made a private decision for life.

The Liu family was originally in Hangzhou, and it was also a scholarly family. My grandfather died at an early age, and the entire Liu family was supported by my grandmother.

She has always been extremely strict with her two daughters. Therefore, he raised a virtuous lady and a virtuous person, and a bright and innocent person.

My mother thought that when I was older, it would be easier for my mother to express her thoughts. But who knows, before that day, my grandmother contracted a vicious disease and died in the West.

A good end of the Liu family, one. At night, only the mother and Liu Meier were left. For this reason, they are also less bullied and adjusted. Play.

Later, the mother thought it through. sold all the things of the Liu family, leaving only an ancestral house. Subsequently, he took his sister to marry to Liufu in Suzhou.

It's just that in Suzhou, there has never been a reason for sisters to "marry" together. Therefore, after her mother entered the house, she arranged Liu Meier in a Liu family's house not far from Liu's house, which was considered her mother's family.

Now, her mother has been divorced, and the dowry that her mother brought back then cannot be recovered.

Without her grandfather and grandmother, she had nothing to rely on.

……

After deciding to go to Hangzhou, her mother took the only earrings and bracelets on her body to the pawnshop.

Those things are all made of the best Hetian jade. In the past, it was very valuable! But now, everyone knows that the mother is in trouble and continues to use the money, so every pawnshop is trying to lower the price.

In the end, my mother had no choice but to choose the most expensive pawnshop and sell the goods.

And the highest price is only ten taels of silver.

……

After taking the money, my mother first went to buy two coarse cloth clothes. I bought some more dry food and went to find a carriage.

The coachman seemed to be an honest man, and after a rough calculation of the distance with his mother, he asked for a tael of silver.

Mother did the math, Suzhou to Hangzhou, a total of more than 300 miles. If it is walking, our mother and son are weak and small, and I don't know how many days. What's more, orphans and widows are not very safe.

In addition, one tael of silver is counted round trip, which is more than 600 miles away, which is not expensive. So, I took a carriage and headed for Hangzhou.

But who knows, just when we were full of joy to meet Hangzhou, the gears of fate had already been rewritten.

……

The carriage had only gone a hundred miles out of the city, and it was getting dark.

The groom said that it was not easy to walk at night, and proposed to rest by the river. At night, wait until dawn before setting off.

Mother saw that the groom was an honest man, and there was a man by his side, so he was not afraid of robbers and bandits. So, I answered.

At night, when I was sleeping in a daze, I suddenly heard a noise.

Immediately after, I heard my mother's voice, "What are you doing?" ”

"Don't be afraid, madam, as long as you rely on me, I will definitely treat you well and your son well."

It's the voice of the groom!

"I see that you are honest, so this is what gives you business! I didn't expect you to ......"

"Madame also said that I was honest, but this honesty has become a mistake now!" In the dark, the groom did something to his mother, "Just because I am honest, I can't marry a daughter-in-law in my thirties!"

Now that the lady has been divorced, she has brought a son and has nowhere to go. It's better to be wronged and wronged, and live with me! ”

"Bastard!" While struggling, the mother said, "If you want to do this again, I'll call someone!" ”

"You shout, see who you can shout!" So saying, the groom will be light on his mother.

I watched my mother struggle and wanted to rush to save her. But who knows, when I moved, I realized that I had already been tied up by the groom, and I couldn't move.

"Mother! Mother! ”

"Su'er......" Mother struggled for a long time, but finally couldn't escape the devil's hands, "Close your eyes, don't look!" ”

"Mother...... My mother ...... "I cried into a tearful person, watching my mother being bullied, but I couldn't do anything!"

……

After the groom succeeded, he comforted his mother desperately, saying that he would marry her and treat her well.

The mother, on the other hand, pretended to be in the boat, and nodded helplessly.

When the groom saw his mother like this, he finally slept peacefully.

Soon after he snored, his mother resolutely pulled off the hairpin and stabbed him in the neck. This thorn, using all the strength of the whole body, also took the life of the groom.

I watched as the groom's blood spurted into my mother's face, but she showed no fear. Heart...... It was shocking.

From childhood to adulthood, my mother was gentle and weak. I've never seen her so strong and determined.

"Mother......" my hoarse body called her.

She glanced at me and said, "Don't be afraid! So saying, he dragged the groom into the river and let him float downstream.

Later, she changed her clothes and cleaned the blood stains from her body. Packed up his baggage and fled with me in a hurry.

We stumbled all the way, running in the dark for about five or six miles, before my mother finally stopped, hugged me and cried bitterly.

In just a few days, life changed dramatically.

's mother changed from Mrs. Liu, who was envied by everyone, to a cousin, who was ridiculed and bullied. In the end, he became a murderer.

I, from a boy in a greenhouse, became a poor child without a father. I watched my mother being bullied and watched her kill a man.

……

I don't know how long it took to walk, but my mother and I finally came to Hangzhou.

I thought that the life that belonged to our mother and son had finally begun. But who knows, the ancestral house in Hangzhou has long been occupied by the government.

The mother went to seek justice, but was beaten out.

Just because, the mother has no way to prove her identity.

The people in the government said that if they wanted to get back the ancestral house, they had to ask Mrs. Liu to go with the seal of the old man of the Liu family to prove their identity.

However, where is the mother still Mrs. Liu? Liu Zhitian's seal, where is it so easy to get? We have come to Hangzhou after a lot of hardships, how can we go back to Suzhou?

……

My mother and I couldn't, so we had to give up the idea of getting our ancestral home back.

At first, my mother was afraid that I would suffer, so she took me to live in an inn. During the day, she took some female celebrities to do it, and I studied in the inn. At night, she washed the dishes at the inn and earned some odd silver.

The shopkeeper of the inn saw that his mother had a son, and he was really pitiful. So he gave us a firewood room to live in, and we didn't charge money for accommodation every month, and we provided three meals a day, but I asked my mother to help with laundry in addition to washing dishes.

My mother, though delicate, had never done any of this. But she is capable and intelligent, and her hands and feet are nimble, and it is not difficult.

After about half a year.

Winter is coming as promised.

Due to the lack of nutrition on weekdays, my mother washed dishes and laundry in the cold winter, and soon contracted the wind chill.

At first, the shopkeeper was easy to talk to. I threw some silver to grab the medicine, saying that I wanted my mother to get better quickly, but Mo was sick all day long and infected others.

But later, my mother's wind chill was not good for a long time. The shopkeeper said that this sickness would disturb the inn's business. No matter how much my mother pleaded, she still drove our mother and son out.

For most of the past six months, my mother and I have lived in the inn and eaten at the inn. My mother spends all her time working on day jobs, and she doesn't have any extra attachment to herself.

At this moment, I had no place to live and no food, so my mother had to arrange for me to go out to beg by myself.

I looked distressed, and I went with it.

Those who can beg have the rules of begging, and they occupy a lot of territory. I couldn't get any benefits from my mother, orphans and widows, so I had to leave Hangzhou and go all the way in the direction of the capital.

There are many powerful people in the capital, and when they arrive in the capital, it is better to be a slave and a maid than to suffer here.

However, my mother still couldn't make it to the capital after all.

On the way to the capital, my mother's cold became more and more severe. On a snowy night, no matter how much I called her and begged her not to go, she left me and died.

I found an open space and dug a grave for my mother with my bare hands. gave her three heavy kowtows, which can be regarded as burying her.

I stood in front of my mother's grave, and the snow fell on me mercilessly.

I know that I am truly an orphan from now on, an orphan without a father or mother!

And the people who made me who I am today are my father Liu Zhitian and my aunt, Liu Meier!

……

Mother stopped halfway through, but I couldn't stay here with her.

I want to go to the capital, I want to get ahead, I want revenge!

……

"Little brother, what are you doing here alone?"

Early in the morning, I stood alone in front of the steamed bun shop, looking at the hot steamed buns, swallowing my saliva. Beside me, a woman suddenly appeared and asked me gently, "Are you hungry?" How about I buy you a bun? ”

The woman was gentle, but her eyes were full of bad water.

I looked behind her through her. Not far away, three or four children were looking at the woman with a very frightened look, and one or two of them were constantly dodging their eyes, trying to escape.

I knew she must be a human trafficker.

So, I touched my stomach, "Madam, I haven't eaten in a few days, can you reward me with two buns?" No...... One is enough!

As long as you reward me with a bun, I will go with you! In this life and this life, I am willing to be a cow and a horse. ”

The woman had already beaten my mind and was worried about how to get me away. Now that I took the initiative to say this, she was laughing so much that her eyes were gone, "Ouch, you kid, mouth. Why is Ba so sweet?

Okay, okay, I'll buy you two buns, you come with me, how about it? In the future, as long as I have food and drink, I will not be able to treat you badly. ”

"Thank you, ma'am!"

Instead of waiting to starve to death, let's go with this trafficker! As long as I am obedient and don't run away, she won't beat me.

I had food and drink, and then I waited for her to sell me.

No matter where it is sold, it is necessary to save your life.

However, just as I had gobbled up the buns and was about to leave with the woman. A carriage stopped beside me, "Silly boy, my father has finally found you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a richly dressed old man get out of the carriage and say to me, "Even if you are angry with your mother, you shouldn't have run out of the house for so many days!" It makes your mother wash her face with tears at home every day, it's really naughty! ”

Anyway, no matter what 3721 is going to pull me into the carriage, "Quick, go home with my father!" ”

"This old man...... This is...... This is your ......" The woman was unwilling to let the cooked duck fly away, so she hurriedly stopped the old man.

The old man was slightly stunned, and then said, "That's right, this is my naughty son." ”

With that, he winked at me inadvertently.

In the blink of an eye, I finally understood why.

It turned out that this kind man saw through the identity of the woman and came to save me.

Seeing that he is richly dressed and a good man, it is better to follow him than to follow human traffickers! So, I quickly bit my lip and said, "Daddy, I was wrong......"

When the woman saw that our "father and son" recognized each other, she had no choice but to admit her loss. So, I had to laugh dryly, "It's good to find it, it's good to find it." I saw that he was hungry, so I bought him two buns and planned to take him home. Now that he has found his father, he can't run away in the future. ”

When the kind-hearted old man heard this, he hurriedly smiled, "Thank you, Madame, for your kindness." ”

After that, I saw him buy two meat buns in front of the bun shop and hand them to the woman with his own hands, "Madam, I never owe favors and favors to people in my life. Just now you bought two buns for Xiao'er, and now, I will return two buns to you. ”

Without waiting for the woman to speak again, she pulled me into the carriage.

After I got into the carriage, I endured it for a long time before I finally laughed, "Master, you are so good!" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It's rare that you can still laugh!" Tell me where I'm good. ”

I scratched my head in embarrassment, "When the trafficker said that when she bought me buns, she clearly wanted to blackmail your money. Instead of being fooled, you returned her two buns, isn't that a great thing? ”

After that, I smiled again, "I see, her face just now is ugly, hahaha." ”

The kind-hearted old man was stunned again: "Do you know that she is a human trafficker?" ”

"Yes!"

"If you know, why do you want to go with her?" The old man asked again.

I felt a pain in my heart, and replied to the question, "Kind man, I will return the money for those two buns to you!" ”

"Child" The old man saw me like this, and he was even more curious, "My intuition tells me that you have a story in you." ”

As soon as these words came out, I could no longer bear the grievances I had suffered during this period of time. So, he burst into tears, and told the old man what had happened to him.

I know, he's a good guy.

Although I am afraid to open the wound and show others, I also have my own selfishness.

I want to take advantage of the kindness of the old man and stay by his side.

This old man is extraordinary, and at first glance he is not the master of an ordinary family. If I can follow him, even if I am a scholar, I will get ahead one day.

Sure enough, when I finished crying and crying about what happened to me, the old man was silent for a while, and then said, "It's a poor man!" Well, go back with me, for there is still a shortage of a male in my house. ”
