Chapter 393: The Black Widow
Chapter 393: The Black Widow
The leaders of the martial arts alliance, Ah San Shaoxia and Nangong Manman, sat in the carriage driven by the coachman Ma Zhan and came to a deserted town, and the archway of the town said "Guanlin Town".
Although "Guanlin Town" seems to be deserted and crowded on the surface, from the streets lined with shops, "Guanlin Town" must have had a glorious time, at least this town called "Guanlin Town" used to be crowded with people.
Because every shop on the street is not closed, but there is a shopkeeper sitting in the hall.
"Master Hou, you and the young master sit in the carriage and wait for my news, I'll ask these shopkeepers, where can I buy horses!" Ma Zhan, the coachman, said as he jumped down from the position of driving the carriage, stood firmly on the ground, and then said to the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia: "Master Hou, when you find the horses, you hurry up to the camp of the hussar general Ma Shaoqun and the general of the horse, so that Ma Zhan can sleep and eat." β
"Okay, you go and take a look first, and when you find a suitable horse, you can come and tell Ben Hou Ye!" β
As soon as he knew that the martial arts alliance leader Ah San Shaoxia's words fell, someone came to him.
"Master Hou, didn't you say that there is something important that needs to be rushed to that place urgently?" At this time, the head of the "Carefree Look", Daoist Wanyue, rode over from the back of the carriage and asked Ah Sanshaoxia, the leader of the martial arts alliance in the carriage, through the curtain of the carriage, "The people in the back asked Lao Dao to ask what happened. β
"Oh, it turned out to be the senior of the Remnant Moon Dao Chief, this Hou Ye is about to discuss something with you!" "The leader of the martial arts alliance, Ah San Shaoxia, casually lifted the curtain of the carriage and said: "Senior, you go and call the heads of other sects over, and let's discuss the original situation and the results of the handling together!"
"Master Hou, wait a minute!" said the head of this "Carefree View", Daoist Wanyue: "Old Dao is going to gather them, and they will be able to get together soon." β
After saying that, the head of the "Xiaoyaoguan", Daoist Wanyue, turned around and walked in the direction where the Taoist priests of his sect's "Xiaoyaoguan" stopped.
The originally deserted "Guanlin Town" suddenly became very lively, and the streets seemed to return to the old scene of people coming and going.
Those who open a shop on the street are smiling, smiling, warmly entertaining every guest who enters the store, whether they enter the store to wait and see or buy something, the shopkeeper is nodding and bowing, respectfully greeting, without the slightest hint of neglect.
The leaders of the martial arts alliance, Ah San Shaoxia and Nangong Manman, followed behind the head of this "carefree view", the head of the Wanyue Dao and the head of the "Emei faction", the burning heart, came to a restaurant and inn called "Guanlin No. 1 Restaurant" that looked very large-scale, everyone just walked into the door of the restaurant, and those shopkeepers who had been doing nothing hurriedly put down the things in their hands, bowed warmly to greet them, and asked everyone what kind of dishes and wine they needed.
"Man, you give us a quiet place first, let's talk about something, and then eat!" said the head of this "Leisurely View", Daoist Wanyue, "But I'm afraid that your restaurant can't accommodate so many of us." β
"Dao Chief, our restaurant here is the largest restaurant in 'Guanlin Town', we can sit down thousands of people here to eat and drink!" The shopkeeper of this "Guanlin No. 1 Restaurant" led the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia and some of them to the second floor of the restaurant, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you can't find a restaurant bigger than me anywhere else." β
"A thousand people is definitely not enough for us to sit, you will call your shopkeeper later, we are likely to have two or three thousand people to eat and drink." The head of the "Joyful View", the head of the Remnant Moon Dao, said: "I'll call you later!"
"Dao Chief, why do you have so many people coming to our 'Guanlin Town'? Is it for the sake of the black widow in the west of the town?" The shopkeeper of the "Guanlin No. 1 Restaurant" asked suspiciously: "Is it really God who opened his eyes and let someone take care of the grievances of this black widow?" Are you here to avenge the black widow?"
"Wait a minute, little brother, what did you just say?" The leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Ah San Shaoxia, looked at the shopkeeper who was just about to turn around and leave, and suddenly stopped him and asked, "Who is this black widow? What grievances does she have?"
"You're from out of town, right?" The shopkeeper of the "Guanlin No. 1 Restaurant" looked at the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia with a nervous expression and asked, "You shouldn't have been invited by the rich man Xia Jinwan, right?"
"Little brother, who is this rich man Xia Jinwan? What does he have to do with this black widow?" When the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia saw this shopkeeper who looked a little nervous, he knew by his intuition that there must be something wrong here, and maybe it was some kind of major grievance, and then he asked with a pleasant face: "Little second brother, you wait, don't be busy with anything else, you can tell me what happened here first?"
"Guest officer, it's not that the villain doesn't tell you, but the villain's family is old and young, and the villain doesn't dare to 'talk nonsense' here, and the villain has to go down to entertain other guest officers. The shopkeeper of the "Guanlin No. 1 Restaurant" said with a panicked expression: "What do you want to know, you can go to the house made of straw mats by the widow in the west of the town to have a look!"
After saying this, the shopkeeper of "Guanlin No. 1 Restaurant" turned his head, looked around, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then ran downstairs quickly.
"Third brother, it seems that this 'Guanlin Town' is not an ordinary place!" Nangong Manman, who was as beautiful as a fairy and had white skin as snow, suddenly said, "Shall we go to that black widow's house first to see what is going on here?"
"Yes, this Hou Ye thinks that this 'Guanlin Town' has some very strange information, and it makes people feel that the streets and towns here are different from other places!" "Martial Arts Alliance Leader A San Shaoxia said: "Senior Elder of the Remnant Moon Dao, you first arrange our people together not to let them have any disturbance to the people, and no one is allowed to take any action without permission, if anyone causes trouble in this 'Guanlin Town', don't blame this Hou Ye for not being severely punished at that time!" The head of the sect on the rivers and lakes continued: "The heads of the sects, please take care of the disciples in your own sect, and you must not make any extraneous things in this 'Guanlin Town'!"
"Master Hou, please rest assured, we will definitely restrain the disciples of our own sect!" The heads of all the sects present bowed down with their hands in unison, "I don't know if Master Hou has anything else to tell me to wait!"
"This Hou Ye and the others will go to that black widow's house with the young master of Nangong to see what happened!" The martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia looked at the heads of the sects present with his eyes and said: "There is also something in the military camp of the hussar general Ma Shaoqun, maybe this Hou Ye will rush over as soon as possible, and when the time comes, the matter here will be handed over to the senior of the Remnant Moon Dao and the senior of the Burning Heart Master. The sect leaders and elites on the rivers and lakes are safely brought to the headquarters of that mysterious organization, and maybe we will all meet there!"
The heads of all the martial arts and rivers and lakes in the martial arts stood up, clasped their hands into fists and bowed in unison, and they watched the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia and Nangong Manman walk into the vast flow of people from the private room of the "Guanlin First Restaurant", and then disappeared.
The walls are broken, the rubble is superimposed, the weeds are overgrown, and the desolation and dilapidation are dilapidated.
The first thing that caught the eyes of the martial arts alliance leader Ah San Shaoxia and Nangong Manman was this extremely desolate and desolate scene in front of them!
Judging from the broken walls and rubble accumulation in front of him, this is several families, and I don't know why they have become the appearance in front of them.
Was it a natural disaster, or was it a man-made disaster? He asked many people in this town, and they all shook their heads at him, and then walked away silently, not only did they tell him only half a word, but some kind people persuaded him to leave this place as soon as possible, and not to find something to do for himself.
Others are only willing to tell him that this place where the broken walls and rubble are superimposed is the former home of the widow in the west of the town!
The bleak autumn wind blows on the body of the person already has a strong coolness, the withered yellow leaves with the bleak autumn wind all over the ground, floating around, as if a person who has no home and no roots, does not know where he is going, does not know how long he can survive in this cool bleak autumn breeze? I don't know if when I die, my own blood hatred God will give me a result, God will let myself die with my eyes open in the eyes of death.
Because of this kind of day, she really can't stand it, she feels that she has reached the end of her life, and her tears have dried up, but her grievances and her blood feud have not yet seen the result that makes her die!
Since her son was beaten to death by the rich man Xia Jinwan slave in "Guanlin Town", her tears have dried up, and her life now is as difficult as hell on earth, but the black widow is convinced that God will help her black widow clean up this rich man Xia Jinwan!
At first, the eldest lord in the yamen of the state capital also listened to her crying in tears, and said that the court would open the court to hear the case in two days, but when the widow went to the yamen of the state capital two days later, the old man avoided her, and she couldn't even see the face of the big man, and the officials said that this matter was that her son owed the silver to the rich man Xia Jinwan, and her son not only did not pay back the silver, but also went to the house of the rich man Xia Jinwan to steal the silver, so he was found by the rich man Xia Jinwan and killed by mistakeοΌ
Originally, after the son beat the evil rich man Xia Jinwan to death, the daughter-in-law could still take care of the elderly widow and the young and ignorant grandson at home, but Xia Jinwan, the rich man of "Guanlin Town", had her daughter-in-law forcibly taken to Xia Mansion on the night of the death of the widow's son.
If it weren't for the six-year-old grandson who has been taking care of her, I'm afraid she will not starve to death, but also die of thirst, fortunately the surrounding neighbors, and some familiar people, pity the two of their grandchildren, from time to time to help them with some food, otherwise it is estimated that they would have been in the wilderness.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw her son beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave, and she was awakened several times a night by nightmares.
Once, when one of the widow's distant relatives came to see her, she knelt on the ground and begged someone to help her raise her six-year-old grandson, and she wanted to die.
After understanding her intentions, the relative persuaded her that nothing is better than living alone, and said that as long as you live, maybe someone will avenge her.
Widow Wu said that even God would not dare to provoke Xia Jinwan, the rich man of "Guanlin Town", who else in this world would dare to offend this rich man Xia Jinwan for the sake of her, a poor widow of Wu?
The distant relative who traveled north and south told her, you are waiting here, there is a Hou Ye who is the master of the people is going to pass through their "Guanlin Town", maybe this Hou Ye will help her take revenge.
When the widow heard the words of this distant relative who traveled from south to north, her face, which had already shown a hint of smile, suddenly returned to that state of bitterness and hatred, she said that in this world, how can there be people who are willing to stand up for the people, they are all officials and officials, bullying good people, how can they offend Xia Jinwan, the rich man of "Guanlin Town", for a widow.
This distant relative who traveled north and south said to the widow of Wu, this Hou Ye is the "Loyal and Yong Hou" Hou Ye, who was also born in a poor family, as long as you are lucky enough to meet him, your grievances will definitely be aggrieved and you will close your eyes when you die.
The widow of Wu, who had lost hope in life, heard the words of this distant relative who went south and north, and she ignited a strong expectation of survival, she took her six-year-old grandson around in "Guanlin Town" every day, she hoped to meet the Hou Ye who was talking about the distant relatives who went south and north, and she hoped to really meet this Hou Ye who was dedicated to the people, help her save her daughter-in-law, and seek justice for her dead son.
This morning, she took her six-year-old grandson to "Guanlin Town" Walking around the streets and alleys, I was too tired, so the widow took her little grandson back to her own house that was not a house, lying on the shabby straw mat, her eyes looked straight at the roof made of straw mats that leaked on rainy days, and sighed and sighed secretly, and the six-year-old grandson patted her stomach and said that she was hungry, but the widow went through the whole place and couldn't find something to eat, so she let her six-year-old grandson go out to find something to eat by himself.
Who knew that after a while, her six-year-old grandson was carrying a large bowl with a lot of food that she would not normally imagine.
"Eldest mother, eldest mother, Jian'er has found something to eat!" Jian'er, the six-year-old grandson of the black widow, stumbled into the house that was not a house with a straw mat on top of it, and said, "Eldest mother is hungry, you can eat first!"
"Jian'er, how can you have so much to eat? You shouldn't have forgotten what the eldest mother said to you, right?" The black widow said with a stern expression: "Don't forget what the eldest mother and Jian'er said, even if you starve to death, you can't steal other people's things to eat!"
"Eldest mother, Jian'er didn't steal it, it was given by the fairy sister!" The six-year-old grandson of the black widow, Jian'er, said aggrievedly: "Jian'er is hungry and looking for food everywhere, and suddenly a fairy sister brought these things back to Jian'er to eat with the eldest mother!"
"The eldest mother doesn't believe it, you take the eldest mother to find that fairy sister!" The black widow still said with a stern expression: "The eldest mother has lived so old, and she has not seen any fairies, if there are really fairies in this world, wouldn't your father's revenge be avenged long ago?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the fairy!" said to the six-year-old grandson of the black widow, pointing to the door made of broken straw mats, to his eldest mother, the black widow, "That fairy sister is outside our door." β
The black widow heard her six-year-old grandson say that the fairy was outside her door, and quickly got up from the bed made of straw mats, stretched out her hand to open the door made of straw mats, and she really saw a little fairy who looked as cold as frost and white as snow standing in front of her house, and the black widow couldn't believe her faint old eyes, she quickly rubbed her eyes with that wrinkled hand, and then she opened her old eyes again, and she found that the cold and frosty, The little fairy, whose skin was as white as snow, actually had a slight smile on her cold face, and beckoned to her.
The black widow saw this little fairy who was as cold as frost and white as snow beckoning to her, her rickety body suddenly seemed to straighten up a little, she felt that her wish was about to come true, and she was about to avenge her son who was killed for no reason.
So can this black widow let her get her wish after seeing this little fairy who is as cold as ice and has skin as white as snow?
