Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 112 Where is the Bright Moon

Taking advantage of the stop to rest, the little girl also got out of the carriage, according to the "embroidered spring boxing" taught to her by Li Xuandu, painted a scoop according to the gourd, and began to move her muscles and bones.

The little girl listened to the conversation between Hu Liang and Li Xuandu just now, and after finishing her fist, she came to Li Xuandu's side and asked in a whisper: "Brother, are we going to that Song Daxia's house?"

Li Xuandu grimaced at her and smiled: "Yes, with Brother Song's character, if you know that we don't enter the door, I'm afraid that we won't have to do it, and the Wind and Thunder Sect has a big business, and I'm not afraid of any Qingluanwei, so I will sum up with your Uncle Hu Liang and go on a trip." After all, the rivers and lakes are the sophistication of human feelings, and the exchange of courtesies. ”

The little girl sighed, her brows furrowed slightly, and her little face was a little dignified.

Li Xuandu touched her brows and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

The little girl shook her head and did not speak.

At this time, Hu Liang interjected: "You told her about Nanshan Garden, she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, plus the two stories I told last night, the little girl was scared." ”

The little girl, who has always been strong, pursed her lips lightly, and did not refute for the first time.

Li Xuandu smiled dumbly.

Although the little girl is a gentle character, it seems that no one should enter, but after getting acquainted, in the end, she is still a child, yesterday when the three of them spent the night in the forest, the little girl insisted on letting Hu Liang tell a story, I thought that Hu Liang would tell a story about a hero's violent Anliang, or about the love affair between a young man and a woman, and the most unfortunate will also tell a story about how the devil is lawless and evil, but Hu Liang told two stories that made the little girl entangled in the middle of the night.

At that time, Hu Liang followed the general Qin Xiang to the west to recover Qinzhou, at that time, Qinzhou was full of devastation, ten rooms and nine empty, and the yamen of the state capitals were also destroyed, so Qin Xiang ordered the military attache in the army to act as a local official. Although that period of time was extremely short, an incident happened during this period, which made Hu Liang very impressed.

The case was not big, and the family involved was just an ordinary rich family, and the man of the family was a businessman who was often away from home because of his travels from south to north. The wife at home is in the year of the tiger and wolf, and there is no worry about food and clothing, and finally she can't bear the loneliness of staying alone in the empty room.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, paper can't contain fire after all, the male owner in an accidental situation, broke through this matter, although Qinzhou is not as strict as Jiangnan, it is often a pig cage, and because of the long-term war, the folk customs are quite open, allowing widows to remarry, but they can never tolerate such things, so the male owner decided to send his wife back to her parents' house with a letter of resignation.

This wife lost her reputation, and was swept out of the house by her husband's family, even a pair of children did not recognize her, I thought that there was still a good relationship, but after she went out of the house, she was shy in her pocket, and the scholar treated her as well as before, and ignored her.

What happened afterwards opened the eyes of Hu Liang, an old man, and the woman deceived the scholar into eating at home with the intention of burning jade, and after getting him drunk, she strangled him to death with a rope.

Then she took advantage of her ex-husband's absence from going out and did not return, ran back to her ex-husband's house and knelt down to beg her mother-in-law for forgiveness, and her mother-in-law was soft-hearted, so she left her to eat at home, she took the initiative to cook for her mother-in-law, and secretly poisoned the meal.

The daughter was directly poisoned, and the mother-in-law woke up again after the woman left in a hurry because she had less to eat, and was rescued by the servant.

Because the son went to the school to study, he played with his friends outside after school and escaped by luck.

When the mother-in-law sent someone to sue the official and quickly captured the woman, the woman was looking for her son, and the head catcher led by the head hunter found a hammer from the small bag she was carrying.

When she passed the court, without waiting for the execution, the woman had already confessed frankly: she planned to smash her son to death with a hammer, and then wait for the opportunity to kill her ex-husband, and finally hanged herself.

Hu Liang decided to personally inquire about the woman and asked her: It's just enough to kill her lover, and it can barely be considered excusable, but what's wrong with her ex-husband, mother-in-law, and children?

The woman said: The ex-husband was wrong to catch her for adultery and divorced her, the mother-in-law was wrong to support her ex-husband to divorce her, and the child was wrong because she didn't want to recognize her as a mother after she was divorced.

Hu Liang asked her again: Tiger poison does not eat children, why are you so ruthless?

The woman replied: Because I felt bored, I didn't want to live anymore, and I was afraid of loneliness on Huangquan Road, so I wanted my child to go down to accompany me.

In the end, Hu Liang decided that this woman was no longer a human or a demon, and should not be judged by the laws of the world.

There is also a story that Hu Liang saw and heard in Liangzhou.

Compared with Qinzhou, Liangzhou at that time was almost like hell on earth, because of the war, the displaced people were everywhere, the grass roots and bark were eaten, and they were fed on people, and the officials were forbidden, and women and young children were in the city, called vegetable people, and the butchers bought them, such as buying pigs and sheep.

At that time, Hu Liang's subordinate had a deputy general who went to a wine shop to eat because he had just arrived in Liangzhou, and he didn't know why, and the shopkeeper said: "The meat is finished, please wait for a while." Then I saw the shopkeeper grabbing two women to the kitchen, the adjutant hurried to the kitchen, saw that a woman had been cut off with an axe on her right arm, curled up on the ground, the other woman trembled, her face was colorless, after seeing the adjutant general, the two wailed, the woman with a broken arm only asked for a quick death, and the other woman asked for help, the deputy general moved his heart of compassion, and spent two taels of silver to redeem the two women, one of the women with a broken arm committed suicide with a sharp knife, and the other woman was accepted as a concubine by the adjutant general.

At that time, there were Taiping Sect masters accompanying the army, for the deputy general to see the appearance, said that he should have no children in this life, but with this kindness, you can light a stick of incense for the family, and then the concubine really gave birth to a son, the child from the armpit to the shoulder blade There is a red line, like a woman with a broken arm who committed suicide that day, which is considered to confirm the words of the Taiping Sect master.

When the master of the Taiping Sect left the army, he wrote a poem.

Husbands and wives starve to death together in the same year, so it is better to concubine Xiangcairen City.

If you get 3,000 money, you can travel a mile.

The limbs were cut off first and hung in the butcher's shop, and Xu cut the hips and held them for soup.

If you don't want fresh meat, you will see the hungry people in the belly.

Especially the last sentence, after Li Xuandu heard it, he fell into an ice cellar, his back was cold, and he couldn't help but sigh again and again.

A loving mother cuts meat and feeds it to her son, and the wicked father eats it for the son.

Compared with these human tragedies, the bloody wind and rain in the rivers and lakes have become nothing, and he also understands more and more what Zhang Suqing and the others wanted to do back then.

The Confucian sages have a saying, for heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints to continue learning, for the eternal peace.

Those four old men want to open peace!

Why do you say that people in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs? The dogs of the Taiping world can still bark with a full stomach, but people in troubled times have extravagant hopes for a full stomach.

Shepherd the people in the world, not to say anything prosperous and prosperous, at least to give the people in the world a way to live, all say that God has the virtue of a good life, but in the troubled times, just such a trivial request is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

How miserable the people are.

Li Xuandu said to Zhou Shuning: "There may be demons and ghosts in this world, but there is no real demon, the so-called devil, in the final analysis, is still a person, the devil is in the hearts of people, it is a human demon, and this is the case with Chen Guhong we met in Nanshan Park." Tianliang tells you these things to let you know that people's hearts are sinister, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, but you don't want to completely despair of this world because of this, people's hearts have always been two-sided, and people's hearts are changeable, and the transformation of black and white is often only between one thought. You can also think about your father, if this world is a night, then he is a star in the night, and it is precisely because of such people that our world will not be completely dark. When the night is full of stars, will the world still be dark?"

The little girl raised her head, looked at Li Xuandu, and asked seriously, "What about Mingyue?"

Li Xuandu looked down at her and said with some sadness: "There used to be a bright moon, but it was eaten by the tengu in the second year of Tianbao, and since then, I have been waiting for the second round of bright moon." ”
