The boy banged desperately on the mottled lacquered door, and blood oozed from his fists.

In the courtyard, there were still bursts of wailing, Xu Tianran turned his back, compared to Mu Lengqing's decisive killing intent, Xu Tianran's spiritual power moved slightly, and the door bolt seemed to be blown off by a gust of wind.

The young man had red eyes, and did not go straight to the hall, but rushed to the firewood room, took the firewood knife, looked cold, and without hesitation, stood at the door of the hall and shouted: "Stop." ”

The man saw the firewood knife in the young man's hand, and mocked wantonly: "Little rabbit cub, the hair has not grown, do you want to kill your father?"

The young man clutched the firewood knife tightly and said coldly: "What kind of father are you, this family is fine without you." ”

The man left the woman and the girl covered in bruises, and walked towards the boy, who took out a worn bag from his arms, and the man's eyes lit up with gold, which was the voice of silver.

The young man said calmly: "Give you two choices, one is to take this bag of money and give me a roll, and never come back in the future, and the other is that only one of you and I will be alive today." ”

The man didn't take the boy's words seriously at all, and sneered: "Xiao Er is really good, he is good at making money, he is already a man, and his father will often come back to visit you in the future." ”

Hearing this, the young man was completely desperate, watching the man walking towards him, the young man threw the money bag on the ground, the man bent down and squatted on the ground to pick up the money bag, and when he opened it, he saw that there were two taels of silver in it, and a hundred copper coins.

As soon as the man's smile appeared on his cheeks, in an instant, it turned into a cruel smile, and the young man really slashed at the man's back with a firewood knife.

Perhaps, the young man is inexperienced, the slashing is not cut in the critical place, the man is already furious, the young man stands in front of his mother and sister, his face is afraid, but he does not take a step back.

The woman pleaded bitterly, "He is your son, spare him." ”

The man said angrily: "I don't have such a son, he really wants to kill me, this house is the ancestral house of my Fan family, it is only natural for me to sell my house, is it possible to ask you, a foreign surname, to agree?"

The woman burst into tears, "If the house is sold, our mother and mother will be on the streets, and if you continue like this, you will sell your sons, daughters, and wives, do you really want to force us to death?"

The man hesitated for a moment, and his cloudy eyes seemed to have a hint of clarity, "I will definitely be able to turn over the book this time and win back all the original losses, I will wash my hands in the golden basin and come back to accompany you well, okay?"

The young man took a sip and said in disgust: "Mother, don't talk to this person who has lost his conscience, since he became addicted to gambling, he has become a demon and is no longer a human being." ”

The man looked at the boy who was somewhat similar to himself, pulled out the firewood knife from his back, and the blood seeped out of his clothes, shocking, the young man was not afraid, and he had been lying in the corner of the school and vaguely heard Mr. say that people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Today, the death of guarding his mother and sister should be heavier than Mount Tai.

Xu Tianran clenched his fists tightly, how similar the family affairs of the young Fan Er were to his past.

In Xu Tianran's heart, the person he hates the most is his father, and it is his father's ruthlessness that makes his mother and young self suffer so much humiliation, but in Xu Tianran's memory, although the time in Zhuyuan is lonely, but with the company of his mother, he is also happy.

As long as his mother is alive, his heart will not be full of resentment towards his father as he is now.

It was the father's ignorance, the father's indifference and evenness, which finally made the mother desperate, let the mother die in person, and let himself stay away from home, fortunately he met Lao Bai later, and when he arrived in Qingshan Town, he met a lot of gentle people, so that he would not sink completely.

Hatred is a hurdle that Xu Tianran can't overcome in his heart, but it is also a hurdle that must be overcome.

Just like Fan Er, the man in front of him at this time is not worthy of being called a father at all, and he wants to kill him, it seems that only when he dies can his mother, sister and himself live a good life.

The young man's mind is so simple, but in front of the young man, how strong that man is, but the young man's eyes are firm, and there is no wavering, so he stares at the man viciously.

The firewood knife in the man's hand was dripping with blood, Fan Ergao's head was raised, his eyes were full of disdain and contempt, the man's hand was a little trembling, the tiger poison did not eat the child, looking at the determination in his own son's eyes, the man finally made up his mind, since you are not filial, you will hack Lao Tzu to death, and blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless.

The weak woman pleaded bitterly, "No, if you want to kill me, he is your son." ”

The man picked up the firewood knife high, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't have such a son, I want my life now, and I will have it when I grow up, since this is the case, I will treat it as if I don't have such a son." ”

The woman suddenly jumped up from the ground and tried to snatch the wood knife, but the man kicked her and fell to the ground.

The woman covered her abdomen and cried, "If you kill Fan Er today, you don't want to get the deed." ”

The man turned around, looked at the blood on the corner of the woman's mouth, leaned over, and gently stroked her cheek, "I knew that I would take out the deed, why not, when I sold the ancestral house, we will cut it in two, now you are satisfied." ”

Fan Er said hysterically: "Mother, don't, if he dares to kill, he will kill, turn around and report to the official to let him take his life, exchange my life for his life, it's worth it." ”

The woman is weak, but the mother is strong, the woman shook her head lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, this house belongs to the Fan family, let's return it to him, our mother has been living on the streets since then, even if you want to eat, you have to live well, as long as we can live well, there is hope for life." ”

The girl's eyes were sad, and she helped her mother who fell to the ground, tears raining down.

Mu Lengqing's murderous intent rose again, and Xu Tianran pulled Mu Lengqing tightly again, not letting her interfere.

The blood on the man's back was slowly flowing, and half of his clothes were already soaked, and the woman went into the firewood room, and dug the ground for a long time, and found a wooden box, in which were a few taels of silver and the deed, which was the last wealth of the poor family.

After today, maybe Niang San really wants to have no tile to cover her body, live on the streets, and be homeless, but the woman is completely relieved, and the last trace of hope for the man from now on is also shattered, but the mood is relaxed, the Song Kingdom is prosperous, even if there is no field, no house, it is a big deal to go to the city to work in the silk workshop, the family of three is tired, and there is always a bite to eat.

The worst mistake of the poor woman in this life was to marry this man who was addicted to gambling, and the woman suddenly burst into tears, glad that she still had two well-behaved children.

The man couldn't wait, grabbed the woman's hair, snatched the deed and silver from the old wooden box, and staggered out of the door.

There was a girl in a green shirt and black standing at the door, the man turned a blind eye and went straight towards Yuelao Town, now there is money again, the man completely ignores the blood on his back, and his pale face is a satisfied smile, there is money again, and there is a chance to turn it over.

Xu Tianran knocked lightly on the door, Fan Er recognized a green shirt, the home was in a mess at this time, and the young man didn't want his scars to be exposed to strangers, so he had to close the courtyard door.

The woman straightened her hair and said calmly, "Fan Er, don't be rude." ”

Fan Er turned his head, went back to the house, locked the door, and cried very sadly in the house, and the grievances in his stomach turned into tears, and a drop fell on the floor.

Originally, the Fan family was also a wealthy farmer, more than 30 acres of fertile land, and the mother married a shop in the town, and the family had no worries about food and clothing, but after the grandfather died, the father was taken crooked by the fox friend and dog friend, and became addicted to gambling, and the family's money was lost, the shop was sold, the good land was sold, and finally even the ancestral house was sold.

Xu Tianran looked around, this house is really not small in the village, which shows that Fan Er's family is also a well-known family in the village.

The woman endured the pain and asked, "Are you staying overnight?"

Xu Tianran clasped his fists and said softly: "Yes, but there is still a vacant room?"

With the support of the girl, the woman gave a blessing and politely refused: "The family has suffered an accident, and I am afraid that I will not be able to open for business today, and I hope that the guests will forgive me." ”

Xu Tianran said sincerely: "Madam, there are really too many tourists in the fifteenth year, if there is no extra room in your house, I am afraid that our group will have to sleep on the streets." ”

Hearing that she was sleeping on the streets, the woman was full of sadness, and she might be living on the streets in the next two days, so she felt compassion, "There are only two rooms left, if the son doesn't dislike it, let's stay for the time being." ”

Xu Tianran bowed his hand respectfully, "Thank you, madam." ”

Zhengxuan Lao Dao and Lotte Xiaodao also came, and seeing the mess in the courtyard, Lotte quietly asked in Xu Tianran's ear: "The surname Xu, why did you find such a ghost place." ”

Xu Tianran poked lightly, and the ghost screamed again and again, seeing that the girl who was not in her cardamom years had begun to clean up the messy courtyard, she asked softly: "Dare to ask Madame, do you have any food and drink?"

The woman said calmly: "There is no wine and meat at home, if Gongzi wants to eat here, I am afraid that he will have to pay silver taels in advance to buy wine and food, otherwise I believe that Gongzi has also seen what happened, and we don't even have a copper coin in our pockets." ”

Xu Tianran smiled: "It's easy to say." He took out a minot, ten taels of silver, and gave it to the woman. ”

The woman waved her hand again and again, "There is not so much to use. ”

"Madame take it first, we will stay here for a few more days, and I hope Madame will not drive people away. ”

Only then did the lady settle down a little, and asked the girl to call Fan Er and go to the town to buy wine and food together.

Xu Tianran and his mother's words Fan Er heard it clearly, the silver in hand was not earned, where was Fan Er's person, without waiting for the girl to knock on the door, Fan Er opened the door, and the tears on his face had already been wiped clean, as if the original tears had not fallen.

Fan Er patted his chest and said with a smile: "I'll go alone, I'm the best at buying wine and meat." ”

As soon as the words fell, Fan Er took the silver ingot from his mother's hand and rushed out of the door.

Although Yu Sheng was pampered, he saw that the girl who was a little younger than himself was cleaning up the messy courtyard, so he kindly helped.

However, Yu Sheng is clumsy, although his heart is good, but he is doing a disservice, the girl has never seen such a clumsy person, I think it must be everyone's lady, I have never done these housework, there is such a helper, the girl is not angry, after all, people are kind.

In the end, Yu Sheng finally found out his conscience, scratched his head, touched his pink cheeks stained by dust, and said embarrassedly: "It seems that I am doing a disservice, sorry." ”

The girl smiled and said, "Wherever you are, I am very grateful if you have this heart." ”

The woman walked into the kitchen and began to wash the pot and burn the fire, preparing to cook the dry rice first, but the firewood at home had not yet been chopped, and the woman was in pain all over her body, and she just wanted to endure the pain and chop two handfuls of firewood for emergency, only to see that a green shirt was already in the yard carrying a firewood knife to chop firewood.

The boy in the green shirt must be a practitioner, the action of chopping firewood is smooth, and after a while, the two bundles of firewood are chopped, and the boy in the green shirt moves the firewood into the kitchen.

Mu Lengqing didn't know what the surname Xu was doing, why he didn't let himself make a move from beginning to end, that kind of rotten man slashed a hundred with a sword, and the woman and her two children would not suffer from the turmoil.

Xu Tianran knew that Mu Lengqing was sulking, where did he dare to come forward to speak, but Lao Dao and Xiao Dao were in the hall with Mu Lengqing, Lao Dao poured himself a full bowl of wine from the sheepskin wine gourd on his waist, and poured a full bowl for Mu Lengqing, and said with a smile: "Mu Jianxian, drink." ”

Even though Mu Lengqing knew that the old way in front of him was extremely unusual, his expression was cold, and he had no awe at all, the more he was so old, the more he liked this pure Mu Jianxian.

The swordsman should be like this, the sword heart is pure, and the avenue can be achieved.

After drinking two bowls of wine, Lao Dao's wine bag was deflated, and he could only pour a bowl of wine left, Lao Dao began to hesitate, he couldn't drink a bowl by himself, and he didn't let Miss Mu drink, if he poured it all to Miss Mu, he was not willing to do it, and he couldn't watch Miss Mu drink.

In that case, it's better not to drink it.

Lao Dao stroked his beard and sighed: "Mu Jianxian, although the swordsmanship is high, but the killing intent is too heavy, you have to be careful." ”

Mu Lengqing said calmly: "It's okay, life is to ask for a freewheel, it doesn't matter what the ending is." ”

"Having said that, where in the world there is a real freewheeling, it is just a false freedom to draw the ground, freedom is the pursuit of the heart, the freedom of the heart is the real freedom, and the same is true for the murderous intention, Miss Mu's unreasonable killing intent does make you feel free, but after the killing, the heart is still endless nothingness. ”

Mu Lengqing said coldly: "You care about me." ”

Lao Dao looked embarrassed, and Lotte gloated on the side.

Xu Tianran packed up the firewood, washed his hands, and when he entered the door, he saw Lao Dao's petrified expression, and said with a smile: "Miss Mu, is this resentful?"

"Why did you let that rotten gambler go?"

"When I left my hometown, my husband said that whenever he killed someone, he should ask in his heart, does he deserve to die?"

Mu Lengqing said resolutely: "Damn." ”

"Having said that, Mu Jianxian has ever thought about it, no matter what, he is the father of Fan Er and his sister after all, and the father-in-law of his wife, today he died, do you think they will really be happy?"

"Yo, Sage Xu can't save his soul?"

Xu Tianran shook his head, "Come with me?"

Mu Lengqing didn't say a word, got up and walked out of the door, out of the door, the two of them flashed, and appeared on the secluded country road in an instant, the man had lost too much blood and had fainted in the ditch on the side of the road, holding the silver and the deed tightly in his hand.

Fan Er trotted all the way, holding wine and meat in his arms, and he didn't see that the man's stiff body had lost his snort.

When Fan Er was far away, Mu Lengqing said coldly: "There is more than innocent death." ”

Xu Tianran sighed, "Each has its own life, why do you have to kill someone, let him die at home, and let the good mother bear heavy pressure." ”

"It's just self-deception, and when he turned around and found his body, Fan Er didn't feel guilty that he had killed his father. ”

Xu Tianran didn't speak, but said indifferently: "And wait patiently, everything has cause and effect, we will wait and see." ”

The two disappeared and returned to the small courtyard.

In the darkness of the night, the idle scoundrels of the village passed by the path, and when they saw the man who had died of rage, his eyes were shining, he covered his mouth and smiled, and hastily buried the man's body, and carried the silver and the deed into his arms.
