Chapter 1, Aunt Hua
Later, I still heard Aunt Hua say that our Chen family was also wealthy.
In the past five years, it was also a wealthy family in the entire county, with luxury cars in and out, no white dings, and beautiful small western-style buildings to live in, and even there were more than a dozen old mothers who served Gong.
But let's be honest,
I don't believe it at all.
Because I stood in front of that luxurious little building and looked at it for several years and didn't figure out what it had to do with the mansion and bungalow, an orphan who lived by thieves and thieves.
Beat the little me to do three hands,
To put it simply, it is a thief and a thief.
Wandering around the station, the hotel, and the place where there are many people all day long, I will start when I find the opportunity, and exchange the stolen things for some food, so as not to freeze to death or starve to death.
But there are very few times when they succeed.
Because I'm too young and my hands are weak, I often see a good opportunity, but I can always be spotted by those adults, and if I change to a young and strong person, I may run away.
But I couldn't run, and all I left was a beating on my head and face.
But I don't think it's anything,
Those who were stolen were not beaten lightly, and they would get on the guy when they were angry, but at least they didn't want to kill people, and there would always be scruples about it.
It's better than falling into the hands of the killer, that is what makes the heavens and the earth unspiritual.
Killing a woman is a well-known person in this part of the county.
I heard that in the early years of the troubled times, it was the wife of the king of the nearby mountains who pressed the village, and later the bandits were suppressed in the pass, and then they went down the mountain to be good, and now they are doing the work of managing our three hands.
She's pretty hard.
At that time, I was eight years old, and for a small Gada as old as me, the fee for killing my mother-in-law was ten yuan a month.
Ten dollars, that's a lot in these years.
If we can't get it, the killer will hold the big gold teeth, command the good bandits under his command to wield big sticks, and frantically beckon to us, not caring if we don't care about human life.
I saw with my own eyes a friend who was close to me, because he stole three dollars less, it was a violent beating, and by the time the killer left, my friend was breathing for several minutes.
"Pull it and bury it, bad luck!"
The killer bared her teeth and didn't even look at it.
I trembled with fear in my heart, I knew very well that in the eyes of the killer, human life is not life, especially us abandoned and abducted little cubs, she didn't treat us as human beings at all.
But I have hatred in my heart.
I can't forget the way my friend blinked at me and begged for help, he wanted to live.
I thought about rebellion, and I thought about revenge.
But it didn't work,
Killing the mother-in-law is too strong, Sensei said that she controls all the three hands in the county, even if it is the bandits who are always following her, it is not something that I can resist.
I could only tremble under the coercion of killing my mother-in-law.
So, I desperately stole it, ran around for the fee of ten yuan a month, abducted and cheated, and did everything I could to survive.
But there are unforeseen circumstances,
I remember that day very well.
When I got up in the morning, a heavy snow shrouded Guanzhong,
The blizzard doesn't stop until noon at night, and we usually bother most with this kind of weather, because there are few people in this kind of day, and we don't get much money.
But I don't have a choice,
Because it was almost the end of the month, and I was still three dollars short of handing in, I had to bite the bullet and look for a target.
I was eyeing a woman dressed in a velvet hat.
To be honest, I'm not very old, but I'm sure this woman is definitely the prettiest I've ever seen in my life, a plush pile made of snow-white fur, almost blending with the snow.
Normally, I would have absolutely beaten this woman's idea.
Because there are rules in our industry, stealing the poor does not steal the rich, which means that the poor may be lucky enough to steal the melons and dates, but the rich must not touch them.
No one knows what other people are doing, and they don't care about human life.
But I can't help it.
When I cautiously reached for it, I was grabbed by a pair of hands.
Slender, white and tender, I was terrified and wanted to escape, but unfortunately, those weak and boneless hands grabbed me like iron tongs, and I couldn't advance or retreat.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I was wrong, don't dare next time."
I begged for mercy when I was too busy, and I was about to kneel down with a pop. I've done this kind of thing more than once, and when I encounter hard stubble, I immediately succumb to it, just hoping that I can avoid a beating when I meet a kind-hearted person.
Who knows, the woman looked at me thoughtfully.
"Your name is Chen Xiaoman?"
I was blindfolded.
For as long as I can remember, no one has been calling me by my name.
The gang that killed the mother-in-law all called me Chen Liuzi, or Rabbit Cub, because I was the youngest of the three hands of these children, and I happened to be ranked sixth.
I nodded in a daze,
The woman exhaled, didn't say much, and turned to leave.
I breathed a sigh of relief,
I thought that was the end of it.
But when I saw her that night, I happened to be in the temple of the God of Wealth, where I lived, and I was worried at that time, because even after a day had passed, I still hadn't scraped together enough ten dollars for the fee.
But as soon as I entered the mountain temple, I realized that something was wrong.
The usually high-flying and domineering killer is crying and falling at the woman's feet, her nose is blue and her face is swollen, and her clothes are stripped of her essence, like a sow cub about to be slaughtered.
I was completely blinded and asked what was going on.
But the woman didn't answer me, she handed me a knife and told me to have revenge and revenge.
I suddenly turned red and pounced directly on the killer.
But alas,
In the end, I didn't kill my mother-in-law, I stabbed my mother-in-law three times, one for me, one for my friend, and one for the three hands who were oppressed by the mother-in-law in the past few years.
There is revenge, there is revenge.
And before leaving, I also knocked out a big gold tooth that killed my mother-in-law.
"It's a bottom line, in the end, it's the kind of the old Chen family, and it's over today."
"Starting today, you come with me."
The woman still dropped the words she had spoken during the day.
"What's your name?"
I asked.
"You...... You can call me Aunt Hua. ”
Aunt Hua......
I clenched my fists and said silently.
That is, from that day on,
I followed Aunt Hua to the north and south, and she took me to many places and walked a lot of roads that I had not walked. She told me to read and write, and taught me a lot of unbelievable skills.
Turn over the coffin and turn it upside down, distinguish yin and yang, and break the text and recognize things,
Even killing techniques.
I originally thought that the people in the small county town were the first-class bullies in the world when they killed their mothers-in-law, and my three-handed career was a river and lake that ordinary people could not reach, and I followed behind Aunt Hua.
That's when I saw ......
Under the bright future, there is another unknown world.
Nine days to catch the moon, down to the five seas to catch turtles.
I also asked Aunt Hua why she was so good to me, she took me in, did she know my father, but Aunt Hua never answered.
Whenever I ask in a hurry,
Aunt Hua will have red eyes and reward me with a few big-eared melon seeds.
In the past eight years, I have traveled to too many places, and I have gradually realized that Aunt Hua asked me to call her aunt, but in fact, she is not a few years older than me.
On the day of my eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, Aunt Hua cooked a rare table of good dishes, and she called me to her.
"How many years have you been with me?"
"It's been eight years!"
"How much have you learned?"
"Less than seventy percent."
I thought Aunt Hua was testing me, so I'll tell you the truth.
Hearing this, Aunt Hua nodded,
"Seventy percent of the ability is enough, your Chen family is really born to do this business, even if your father is gone, it is the same. Xiaoman, don't you always ask me, why did I pull you out of the dead pile in the county seat? ”
"I'll tell you today."
Aunt Hua looked at me with unprecedented seriousness.
"You are not an orphan without roots, your father's name is Chen Qinghai, your father's name is Chen Longqing, this name is not ringing, but you must have heard your father's name, the people on the road, they all call your father Chen Sanlianzi."
One word
My head buzzed and it blew up.
