Volume 1: Painting Blood Volume 1 [Painting Blood] 007: Three lonely graves are neutral
After the fierce fight, Wu Zhe turned the knife into his palm and said solemnly: "Sister Wen, this place should not stay for a long time. We have to get out of ...... as soon as possible."
"Brother Wu, I'm homeless now, and I have nothing to worry about. But you have a high hall, how can you just go?"
This sentence 'there is a high hall' made Wu Zhe emotional, his tear ducts couldn't hold back, and he choked up and said: "It's gone, Zhuangzi is gone, there's nothing, it's all dead......"
Wen Xiao and Ah Niu stared at Wu Zhe with wide eyes: "What? Zhuangzi is gone, what does it mean that they are all dead?"
Wu Zhe pretended to be calm, but tears betrayed his eyes. The beads that came off the thread crackled and rolled down:
"Last night, a group of leaders suddenly appeared, and while they were fighting with me, they burned down the whole village......"
As he spoke, he slowly looked at Ah Niu......
"Your home, my home, and the villages within a radius of ten miles, all the burning, the killing, are gone. Now we're all the same, orphaned......"
Wu Zhe's words were clear and clear, and the words pierced his heart. But Ah Niu still couldn't accept the sudden bad news, and couldn't help but push Wu Zhe:
"What do you mean? What about my father? What about my mother? You name it...... Why?"
Wu Zhe lowered his head and wiped his tears, not daring to look directly at Ah Niu. I didn't want to see his frightened expression, so I just hung my head and cried, giving a silent affirmation.
Ah Niu didn't want to waste time. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe Wu Zhe's words. So he didn't even bother to say anything, and ran frantically to Xihezhuang......
Running to the old tree in front of his house, looking into the yard, the once clean and peaceful small home has suddenly become a gray and black rubble field.
He slowly stepped into the courtyard, and his eyes were full of broken bricks and rotten wood, and ruined tiles. He stepped into the ruins with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and saw two bed boards resting on the ground, covered with a mat.
It must have been Wu Zhe's doing. When I opened it, I saw that the two bodies were completely skinless. In addition to the burns, there were several huge cuts, and he turned his head and closed his eyes, wanting to cry without tears:
"Daddy, mother......"
He fell to his knees with a 'poof' uncontrollably. The snot and tears flowed into a river, crying so much that the lips and teeth could not be closed. Stretched out his hand to touch the faces of his father and mother, and wept silently......
I don't know when, Wu Zhe and Wen Xiao have already stood silently behind them, looking blankly at Ah Niu, who couldn't stop crying.
Wu Zhe explained in a hoarse voice: "When it was ugly, after I beat the heads away, I hurried to the rescue, but it was too late. Seeing that his uncle and aunt had died of anger. But if I don't see you, I know that you are not at home. I have lifted the two elders here, and I want you to see them for the last time, as a filial piety......"
Ah Niu's experience made Wen Xiao empathize. Afraid that Ah Niu would be too sad, he said softly: "Ah Niu......?
"Each other!" Ah Niu replied depressedly and sluggishly.
The three of them were sick and sick, and they didn't know what to say. Mutual comfort is nothing more than an exchange of words. There was a wave of grief in the air, stirring up a silent wail......
They worked together to bury the two elders in the ground. Since then, the east and west villages have disappeared, and only a few lonely tombs have been seen, three of which are:
『Literature, Martial Arts, Chen ......』
After being silent for a long time, Wen Xiaohong asked with red eyes: "Brother Niu, are you still planning to go to the capital?"
"What else are you going to do? My father and mother are gone, what's the use of me still wanting fame? I just want to find out the murderer and cut him with a thousand knives!" Ah Niu vented his grief and anger in a strong tone.
"Ah Niu, calm down, you can't do it on your own!" Wu Zhe comforted him realistically.
But this kind persuasion made Ah Niu even more annoyed.
Yu private: He felt that Wen Xiao's feelings for Wu Zhe were deep and unshakable, which led to his own emotional frustration;
Yu Gong: He felt that Wu Zhe's persuasion was a little derogatory, and warned himself that he was not self-sufficient.
So he lost control of his emotions and became angry with others: "Then I can't sit still like you? I blame you, blame you! What are you? A ghost is not a ghost, a demon is not a demon? A person is not a person, a demon is not a demon? A good life, a good-looking village, because of you, my family is ruined."
My Chen family has always been kind to people and never grudges. Why did two people -- no, hundreds of lives -- suddenly die in Huangquan -- in one night? Who will tell me? Why?
Wen Xiao was already sad and sad, and he was full of guilt for Ah Niu. Ah Niu's reproach made her even worse, making her even more sad. But Ah Niu's questioning is not unreasonable, it is indeed she and Wu Zhe who implicated everyone, and she wants to die at this moment.
But blaming each other only adds to the rift in feelings, and is useless. I had to write down this heavy stroke in the 'hatred book' in my heart, and he avenged his father and fellow villagers every day to comfort their souls in heaven.
So he persuaded him with good words: "Brother Niu, don't be like this, it's not just your family that is ruined, the three of us are the same, and no one is better off than you!"
Where can Ah Niu listen to these nonsense at the moment: "Okay! People and ghosts have different paths, don't say how much you have hidden from me? What have you done behind my back? I don't mind any of this, and I still treat you as confidants! But who did my Chen family recruit and provoke whom?"
Both parents died overnight, and hundreds of people in the whole village died suddenly! I have nothing now, but I don't know what is the reason for all this?"
After a period of rebuke, Ah Niu saw that they were silent, and felt that his words were a little out of shape, and at the end of his impulsiveness, he wiped his tears:
"I'm leaving, I vow to find out the truth to the death, and clear the grievances of the family and the people who died! Don't come with me, it doesn't matter if you live or die, you two can do it yourself!"
Then he turned and left......
Wen and Wu looked at the back of his lost soul and left, his emotions were complicated, and his hearts were full of mixed feelings, but he was helpless.
Wen Xiao was very helpless, and suddenly lost his relatives and friends, as if the world had become strange. Between the vast heaven and earth, he was lonely, and even his courage to live was reduced by more than half, and all that was left was a sea of blood and hatred.
Hatred sustained her and made her abandon the idea of suicide. He asked softly, "Brother Wu?"
Wu Zhe is also hesitant, but after all, he is a man, and what he needs to show at a critical moment is to take responsibility:
"We have to leave, the villains already know the whereabouts of you and me, and they will definitely not give up. With our half-baked efforts, it will be difficult to save our lives next time. The master was in the gourd tomb, and he simply taught us some self-preservation skills. We have to avenge our parents, and we have to rely on ourselves. ”
"Then where do we go from here?" Wen Xiao looked dazed.
"I don't have a clue, but I can't stay here. Go to a safe place, I want to continue practicing. Someday I want them to pay with blood!"
"By the way, Brother Wu, I know where I went......
Wen and Wu brothers and sisters sorted out their emotions. After the memorial service, the two families were commemorated. There was nothing, only carrying the blood and hatred, and walked out of the mountains along the banks of the Qiongshui River......
Summer and July Wanzhong Mountain. The trails are laid out in a network between the mountains and ravines, like the blood vessels of the human body are torn apart, spreading out in all directions from a certain heart boundary.
The dirt path underfoot is rugged and curling. It's like a long snake, turning around and turning around, and you can't see the tail in the distance. The small figures of the two of them, between the vast mountains of heaven and earth, are comparable to ants forging ahead.
Although I don't know when I will see the city, we are fortunate to be there with each other, so we can rely on each other. On the way, Wen Xiao painted food to satisfy hunger, painted ingots into gold, and canvases for accounts. After a lot of hard work, I came to a strange place - Dock City.
Although the dock city is not big, the market is very prosperous. Six horizontal and two vertical, horizontal for the north and south lanes, vertical for the east and west streets. There is a lake outside the head of the south lane, which is called Wuzi Lake. The city is named after the lake: Dock City.
Because of its geographical location, it is located at the junction of major provincial cities, and there is always no shortage of foreign visitors in the hub area. Of course, the Wen and Wu brothers and sisters are also one of the pairs.
The difference was that the passers-by on the street gave them all strange looks. It seems to despise and ridicule these two young countrymen.
The brother and sister walked slowly through the market, and they were inevitably dazzled when they first arrived in the city. Due to the deep 'integration' of the county government and local forces, this place does not appear to be chaotic. Compared with the east and west villages in Qiongshui County, of course, there is a world of difference.
They looked around curiously, and there were so many novelties on the street that they were dizzying. Not to mention the opening of my eyes, it also calmed the fatigue along the way.
Passing by a pavilion by chance, it stands on the street, richly decorated, and the lacquered wood plaque is equipped with three gilded characters - "Xiaoxiang Pavilion".
Passing by the door, a beautiful woman came over and pulled Wu Zhe's arm: "This son, come in and sit down? The new head card is beautiful! Wine and beauty treat the boudoir, and you will be happy and not want ......to return."
Wu Zhe is a fledgling and has not experienced red dust. Seeing the beautiful woman pulling and pulling, her behavior is ambiguous, and she does not shy away from giving and receiving from men and women. Suddenly blushed, and hurriedly pulled Wen Xiao up and ran. Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I bumped into a big man.
The strong man was burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. Strong enough to crush cows, fat enough to scare pigs to death. What's even worse is his looking back, and his uneven face is inlaid with a pair of rat eyes. A birthmark with the size of an egg yolk on the face of the glyph. The beard is unshaven, which is really a strange thing among people.
"Are you blind?"
"Who are you scolding?"
"Why am I scolding you! Little hillbilly, are you not only blind, but also deaf?" the strong man was unforgiving, and kicked his nose in the face. It seems to be to stir up trouble and brush up on the sense of existence.
After all, in addition to being ugly and fat, those who can compare to Wu Zhe are tall and mighty.
"You're blind and deaf, speak politely, good dogs don't get in the way, I don't want to deal with you like a brute!" Wu Zhe pulled Wen Xiao and bypassed the big man to walk......
"Oh, it, you still want to slip away after hitting the master, dare to scold the master for being a dog? You little guy, you obviously want to die!"
The strong man swept Wu Zhe over:
"In this area, I haven't dared to talk to my master like this, you are a little deflated, you are tired of living!"
As he spoke, he picked up his shoulder, 'Smack!' and a huge slap slapped Wu Zhe on the face. His ears were 'buzzing', and he was dizzy, and there seemed to be ten thousand silver needles shaking in front of him.
In the blurred sight, I vaguely saw Wen Xiao saying something to him on the side......
Wu Zhe's ears rang, he couldn't hear anything, he only felt a resentment rising in his abdomen, should he fight back......? Hesitating......
"Let go ——" only to hear a cold voice behind him to deter him.
