Chapter 17: The Truth of the Year (I)
When Shen Yun told the old story of the Yuan family, Shen Jiumei was silent. After a long time, she said with tears in her eyes: "I see. Brother Feng's mother and son, although they were born in the Gaomen compound, they also suffered a lot. "Especially my mother-in-law, who I've never met. It's no wonder that Brother Feng is reluctant to mention those times, and he has never been able to truly let go.
"If my brother-in-law accepts his fate, I'm afraid that he will also fold in the Yuan family's compound. Shen Yun said lightly.
Shen Jiumei was slightly stunned, and then she understood-Qiu Bao was right. From the moment he resolutely killed the Yuan family, Brother Feng had already changed his life. And Brother Feng's achievements today are even more against the sky, and they have nothing to do with "life".
She thought about it again, why wasn't she like this?
Thinking of this, she only felt that there was a sudden light in front of her, as if a light burst out from her heart, driving away the haze that had accumulated over the years.
In an instant, the dantian was even warmer, and there was a refreshing breath that could not be said in words.
This is because the mood has suddenly increased a lot!
Shen Jiumei slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She tilted her head and thanked Shen Yun: "Thank you, Qiu Bao." After listening to your words, today, we have truly left behind the past. You're right, it's not our fault that life is bad. But, resigned to fate, it would be wrong. As she spoke, she also picked up the teacup and went to drink the tea inside.
At this time, Shen Yun raised his hand and stopped her again: "After talking for so long, the tea is cold." ”
Shen Jiumei smiled sharply: "That's right." Let's re-brew a pot. As he spoke, he spilled all the tea, boiled the water again, and talked about the slaughter of Niutouao Village. It turned out that back then, in Shiping County, she also found out the group of immortal rune soldiers who slaughtered the village back then, and then, taking advantage of the opportunity to collect grain and grass outside, she followed the vine and touched the melons, and found all the way to the then Fengcheng County lord. Through interrogation, she finally learned the truth about the slaughter of the village.
"Qiu Bao, do you remember the three lepers?" she asked with a sigh.
When Shen Yun heard this, he understood in his heart. It seems that Master's guess before his death was correct, and the catastrophe that wiped out the village was caused by the three lepers.
He nodded.
Sure enough, Shen Jiumei hummed and said, "The immortal rune soldiers in Tu Village were recruited by him. ”
All of this is because of the lies of the three lepers.
He didn't dig any dragon veins at all, and he didn't make a fortune. The truth is that this guy deceived an old man outside for five taels and one dollars, and he started to dream of begging for a wife.
According to his idea, he used the silver to ask for a rich dowry. From then on, he no longer had to worry about eating the last meal and not having the next meal.
However, his reputation in Niutouao Village is too bad. Moreover, if he wants to please the daughter of such a family, his five taels of silver is less than the soup.
What to do?
By chance, he met a storyteller who ran the rivers and lakes at a roadside stall in Fengcheng County - the storyteller said that he had recently made a small fortune, and said that he was very close to the three lepers, so he invited him to drink.
The three lepers have always been cheap, and they don't take advantage of them, and they are bastards.
As soon as he heard that Mr. Storyteller invited him to drink, he immediately became closer to him than his own father.
Moreover, this person's mouth is rotten, and after getting some wine, he didn't cover his mouth. No, a bowl of wine was down, and all the things he thought about were poured out.
Unexpectedly, after listening to it, the storyteller actually gave him an idea: "This is simple, you just need to go back to the hometown and say that you have dug up a treasure outside and made a fortune, and then put on a wider appearance and renovated the ancestral house." The villagers will believe it. I guarantee that after the renovation of the ancestral house, the matchmaker will step on the threshold of my brother's house. ”
The three lepers squinted their eyes, and the more they thought about it, the more they thought it was a good idea. But he still had questions in his heart: "If someone gets the letter and insists that the treasure belongs to his ancestors and wants to ask me back, what should I do?"
There is a basis for what he said. A few years ago, there was a treasure digging incident in neighboring Shixiu County. A hunter dug up a clay pot filled with copper coins deep in the mountains. As a result, after the news spread, a rich man led a team of family members to come to the door, insisting that it was buried by their ancestors. Orion didn't believe it. The rich man took out a yellowed old piece of paper, saying that his ancestors had written clearly on this paper, and that a big pot of money had been buried in a certain year, month, day, and where. The rich man also said that the lord also admitted such evidence. If Orion does not return his ancestral belongings to him, then Orion is guilty of stealing without asking for it. He was going to send Orion to the county seat to eat in prison. Orion, as well as the people in the village, are illiterate, and the family brought by the rich man is like wolves and tigers, and they are very fierce. Therefore, I can only admit cowardice and return the money jar.
As a result, the bookkeeper brought by the rich man counted the money in public, and said to the hunter that it was not the same amount on the paper, and that it was a hundred big dollars less.
And because Orion suddenly made a windfall, he did take some money out to buy wine and meat, and feast the villagers.
However, he remembered in his heart that he only took thirty-seven big coins, and definitely not a hundred big dollars.
So, I argued with the bookkeeper.
The bookkeeper pointed to the new red-headed flowers on his mother-in-law's head: "Didn't you buy it with my lord's money?"
His mother-in-law was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and confessed: in addition to buying this head flower, she also wrapped ten big money for her nephew. All this money was secretly taken from the clay pot.
Orion was frightened and angry, and argued, "That's not a hundred big bucks." ”
Mr. Caifang sneered: "A room full of thieves! Who knows how much your mother-in-law has stolen? And how many words you said are true?"
As a result, because of this sentence "a room full of thieves", Orion was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and passed out.
But the money owed to the rich man still has to be repaid. The housekeepers rushed into Orion's house and smashed it all. "Thief man", "thief mother-in-law", "hand sores, head pus"...... The group left the village scolding.
The villagers also believed it, and from then on, they no longer talked about the Orion family, and when they saw their family, they all became alert and looked defensive.
After he sent his mother-in-law and a pair of young children back to his father-in-law's house, he set fire to the house and burned himself alive.
And her mother-in-law is crazy. When he met people, he cried: "I really only bought one flower and paid ten big bucks." ”
This caused a lot of trouble. Later, a warrior lord in the county town came out to fight and went to ask the rich man for the piece of paper as evidence. But the rich man couldn't take it out. After being knocked out of two front teeth by the warrior master, he confessed and said that he was a fool. There was no such thing as an ancestor burying money at all, but he heard about it and felt that the poor had some luck to make a windfall, so he took someone to the door to make trouble. He also said that he did not expect that he would make such a fuss, and was willing to give fifty taels of silver to bury Orion, and to settle his wife and children. The martial master felt that he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and in addition, for such a jar of copper coins, he had already died and been injured, "You have to spare people and spare people, just don't add to the sin again", so he stopped.
The three lepers slipped outside and listened to a lot of idle things. Therefore, this is also known. He learned to be good from here, so he didn't want the good thing of digging treasures.
