Liu carried a bamboo basket, the cold wind blew, and the thin clothes on his body seemed to be torn, and there was a loud sound. She hurriedly tightened her clothes and lowered her head to go home. She wondered if there was really not much rice in the family now, and there were two young children, so she had taken the last pair of roosters and hens in the family to the market and sold them.

She is very reluctant, every year this hen can hatch a few litters of chicks to exchange for food and rice, and occasionally eat an egg to beat the tooth sacrifice.

Seeing that she was about to reach home in a few steps, one of them rushed out and kicked her hard. She was kicked out with a snap, and the bamboo basket was thrown far away. Liu felt that his bones had been kicked off, and he screamed and looked at the person in horror. The man rushed up again, grabbed her by the collar, and scolded viciously, "Old woman, where is the title deed?" ”

Liu saw that the tall person in front of him was actually his eldest son Chen Jia, and he trembled all over, and the value was unbearable, and he couldn't help whimpering in pain.

Chen Jia suddenly felt hateful, slapped him hard, and with a snap, Liu, who was already weak, almost fainted, coughing and vomiting blood.

"Old woman, take out the title deed. Chen Jia was ruthless, he already owed a lot of debts, he only sold his daughter two days ago, and was forced to come to the door by the creditor, if he couldn't get the money, he would chop off his hands. He only thought about his mother's three acres of paddy fields and his deceased brother's three acres of paddy fields, and if he sold them, he could exchange them for ten taels of silver. After several times of persecution, and because my brother and daughter-in-law were very spicy, I would chase after me with a knife every time I came, and I couldn't get it.

Chen Jia pressed Liu's head back and forth in the mud, and the swear words kept coming, and Liu was beaten to death.

"Chen Jia, are you still human?" Hongxian listened to the screams at home, and immediately rushed out, seeing Chen Jia abusing his biological mother like this, he picked up a broom, rushed to beat, and scolded in his mouth, "You are not as good as a beast, you actually beat your biological mother." ”

Chen Jia smiled coldly, stood up, grabbed the broom that was hit by the red line, and then pulled it hard, and then kicked it over, his movements were very skillful.

The red line was pulled by a huge force, and he immediately let go of his hand in a panic, Chen Jia's foot kicked only a little, although it still kicked her, but he lost a lot of force and fell to the side.

Chen Jia was very hard and wanted to kick the red line to death, but who knew that the red line hand quickly let go of the broom, Chen Jia couldn't help but fall backwards, and finally stabilized.

He yelled, "Stinky bitch, I'm going to kill you today." ”

Seeing that Chen Jia was coming, Hongxian rolled over and got up in embarrassment, shouting loudly, "Chen Jia killed his mother, Chen Jia killed his mother." Sanniang also heard the shouting at this time, ran out of the house, and quickly ran back to the house when she saw this situation.

Hearing her shouting like this, Chen Jia hesitated for a moment and rushed into Liu's house. Sanniang was so frightened that she hugged her crying brother and hid in the corner.

Liu's home was already very dilapidated, and his family was very poor, he turned it over several times, and even the pots and bowls were broken and he still couldn't find the location of the title deed. He pushed Chen Jingzhi off the bamboo bed, kicked it a few times, and then dismantled the bamboo bed and didn't find it. He was very disappointed and upset, and viciously glanced at Chen Sanniang who was hiding in the corner, and saw her hugging her younger brother in the corner and whimpering, he went over and lifted her up, and shouted, "Where is the title deed?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know what. Chen Sanniang was still holding her younger brother and was terrified when she was caught in the air.

Chen Jia also thought that this kid definitely didn't know where the title deed was hidden, but he couldn't express his anger in his heart, so he threw the two children to the ground at the moment. Sanniang hugged her brother tightly and cried in despair. At this moment, a figure rolled over, grabbed the two children, and then kicked them again.

Chen Jia was kicked and flew out and smashed against the mud wall. However, this kick didn't seem to be solid, Chen Jia immediately got up, looked at Chen Jingzhi viciously, and scolded, "Dog mongrel, dare to beat your uncle." ”

Chen Jingzhi hugged the frightened and frightened Chen Sanniang, and now he forcibly broke through the ban, losing his vitality, and his face was a little pale. He didn't care about Chen Jia's threatening words at all, but comforted Chen Sanniang, put her on the ground, and said softly, "Don't cry, I'll drive the bad guys away." ”

Chen Jingzhi also spoke for the first time after a long time, and he spoke in this local dialect, which was inevitably a little jerky, but he finally made it clear. He glanced at Chen Jia, and only then did he see clearly that Chen Jia was tall, slightly hunchbacked, with a pair of goldfish eyes, a golden complexion, and two crooked marks at the corners of his mouth.

Chen Jia pulled out a wooden stick and was about to hit him forward, but he made a false shot and fled from the door. It turned out that he heard the red line outside calling the villagers to come over.

"Brother, go and save grandma. Chen Sanniang couldn't cry, but felt that she was holding a life-saving straw.

Chen Jingzhi nodded, and immediately went outside, before going out, she saw from a distance that the red line was carrying a big broom to chase Chen Jia, and she was still crying and scolding, "Beasts." ”

At this time, four or five middle-aged people in the village surrounded Liu, who had fainted covered in blood, and wanted to lift her up.

Chen Jingzhi immediately shouted, "Wait." ”

Everyone looked over, and Chen Ji couldn't help frowning and said, "You were the young man from that day?"

Chen Jingzhi didn't look at everyone's eyes, walked quickly to the front, stretched out his hand to hold Liu's cold hand, looked at her injury again, and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that she was angry. Sanniang hugged her younger brother and knelt on the side just crying.

"How's it going?" a middle-aged man asked, a little nervous, "will you watch it?"

Chen Ping also stared at Chen Jingzhi seriously, wanting to see something from his face. He carefully distinguished, Chen Jingzhi's voice was very similar to the local accent, and his suspicion was even worse.

"yes, what's going on. "Another person is also very anxious.

Chen Jing's heart was slightly fixed, and he said slowly in a deep voice, "The ribs are broken and inserted into the spleen, and the blood in the heart accumulates, I'm afraid it won't be a few days." ”

"What?" said a middle-aged man in shock, his hands trembling a little, "This bastard, even the biological mother dares to treat it like this? ”

The red line chased Chen Jia all the way, but failed to catch up, and then ran back quickly, squeezed into the crowd, and saw Chen Jingzhi standing tall, his chest was like a deer crashing for no reason, and he couldn't help but bow his head slightly. She saw Sanniang crying heartbroken, and hurriedly hugged her.

Chen Ping sighed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and carry my aunt in, I can't stand the cold this day." ”

Everyone wanted to do it at the moment, but Chen Jingzhi stopped a few people who wanted to do it, and said, "The ribs are broken and inserted into the spleen, if you move it again, I am afraid that the injury will be aggravated, so you must be careful." ”

Chen Jingzhi has gradually adapted, but he still reduces communication. At that moment, he took two bamboo poles and an old quilt and carried the person back to the house steadily. At this time, the house was smashed to pieces, and the bamboo bed was also kicked by Chen Jia. Unable to do so, Chen Ji proposed to send it to the ancestral hall of the clan, which is also common sense, and everyone in the village must be sent to the ancestral hall for parking whenever they die.

Hongxian didn't hesitate at all, and simply said, "Send my mother-in-law to my house, Granny Liu treats me very well, and I can do my best." ”

Everyone blushed a little when they heard it, the Liu family is a member of the Chen family, and the red line is no more than an outsider, but they don't shy away from it. One person sighed and said, "It's also a good thing, don't let my aunt go too far from home, when we were young, we talked to the patriarch and the village to let people clean up the house, and let the aunt be at home." ”

They are all neighbors, and they are also people of the same clan, but such a major matter of life and death still has to be avoided, and the people in the village do not have extra rooms, in fact, it is the most appropriate to send them to the clan ancestral hall, but they are afraid that they will not be taken care of.

Chen Ping also agreed, he frowned, and his voice was heavy, "Everyone settle down with your aunt first, and it is clear what there is to explain, Fifth Brother Chen will first inform the village and the patriarch and arrest Chen Jia, the animal." ”

Everyone arranged Liu's family in the red line house, her blind old lady's hand trembled and came over to hold Liu's hand tightly, and cried in a low voice, "Thanks to my aunt for helping me a few years ago, otherwise how can I raise a big red line, how can I not have a good reward for being a good person?"

The red line could only comfort on both sides, and curse Chen Jia fiercely on the other. It's just that after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but look at Chen Jingzhi, glanced at it a few times and lowered his head, and his voice was a lot quieter.

After Chen Jingzhi rested for a while, his strength recovered a little, and he got up and said to the red line, "I'll go and go back." ”

Hongxian immediately stood up and said, "Where are you going?" She paused for a moment and said, "It's better to let Sanniang go with you, we are all familiar here, and you probably don't know the way." ”

Chen Jingzhi nodded, now his eyes were dark, although he could understand it through the method of heart communication, but he did not cultivate the true qi mana now, and the method of heart communication was actually very depleting. He glanced at Chen Sanniang, and was about to take off the clothes he was wearing.

Seeing this, Hongxian hurriedly said, "Sanniang can wear mine, I will bake the fire in the house, and it will not be cold, but it is bigger." After speaking, he hurriedly took off his coat and put it on Sanniang, and instructed, "You go with your brother and show me the way, and I will take care of my mother-in-law here." ”

Sanniang snorted, the tears on her face had not yet dried, and she nodded and whispered, "I know." ”

Sanniang led Chen Jingzhi out of the door, she wiped her nose, raised her head and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

"Take medicine, relieve pain. Chen Jingzhi went out and saw a brightly feathered rooster standing on the roof of Liu's family from a distance, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he retracted his gaze and made a slight calculation, then pointed to the direction of the village and said, "Go here, the place where turtles and snakes inhabit may be able to find herbs." "It's still early spring, and the herbs haven't even sprouted yet, so it's hard to identify.

He had only taken a few steps, and when he realized it carefully, he found that this world was full of spiritual power, gentle and peaceful, but the power that emerged between heaven and earth was extremely different. He looked in the direction of Taoqiao intentionally or unintentionally, and a clear spirit aura floated slightly, and it seemed to look at him as well. And the ancestral hall in the village seems to be hidden.

After walking for a while, I saw a woman in coarse linen clothes wearing a hat on the bridge at the head of the village. Outside the village, another ox cart slowly came to the village.

He frowned, pointed at the woman wearing the hat on her head, and said, "Who is this person?"

Sanniang frowned slightly and pouted, "She comes often, but I don't know her name." Saying that, her eyes lit up, she remembered something, grabbed Chen Jingzhi's sleeve, raised her head to reveal a mouthful of tooth decay and said, "Brother, she seems to be collecting medicine." ”
