Chapter 87
Eighty-seven
But said that Wan Zhichao was heartbroken, this son was all his hope, he had this son in his fifties, and he had a daughter born in the main room and a daughter born to a concubine, but the role of the daughter was not as good as his son's, and now the Wan family in the main room is crying desperately, and several concubines are holding on to the side, Wan Zhichao can see the smiles on the lips of these concubines.
Now his heart hurts for a while, there is no language, while the spring crow is still rolling around on the stone road, he doesn't want to care, now he has lost his son, in Wan Zhichao's heart, there is nothing more important than his son in the world, and at this time he has no heart to care about the spring crow on the side.
A mother-in-law went up and shouted, "Master, do you want to ask a doctor to come and heal the spring crow girl?" Wan Zhichao suddenly roared: "Don't you see the situation of the young master, hurry up and ask for a doctor, quickly ask for a doctor, even if it costs all my money, I will also cure my son." At this time, Wan Jia's son was already angry, Wan Zhichao was just angry, but the mothers-in-law on one side did not dare to step forward to speak, so they walked away one after another, Wan Zhichao held his son's body in the courtyard for a long time without speaking, he himself did not think, and the servants on the side did not dare to speak.
For a long time, an old doctor, accompanied by his family, went to this courtyard with a torch, Wan Zhichao recognized that he was the best doctor in this Wuchang city, only to see that the old doctor went straight to help the spring crow rolling on the ground, at this time the spring crow's body was covered with mud and grass, and his face was mixed with a lot of blood and mud, and he was still rolling on the ground, and he shouted: "My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts." The doctor went to help, and Wan Zhichao grabbed it and shouted: "See a doctor for my son first, see a doctor for my son first." The old doctor glanced at the child in Wan Zhichao's arms, touched his gray beard and said: "Master Wan, Ling Gongzi has already passed away, and the old man can't cure the dead, but this lady, although the fetus is difficult to keep, but the human life can still live, and the old man must treat her first." Wan Zhichao said angrily: "Fart, fart, my son is still alive, my son is still alive." On the other hand, a family member stepped forward to take his hand and shouted, "Master, your body is stained with blood." Wan Zhichao said angrily: "Why do you only hire one doctor, what are you doing?" After speaking, he slapped over, wanting to hit this Ding in the face, not wanting this Ding to hide, he slapped a small tree in the courtyard, the branch pierced his palm, Wan Zhichao screamed, and the dead body in his arms also fell to the ground, Wan Zhichao wanted to step forward and pick up the body of his son on the ground, but finally shook twice and fell to the ground.
The families on both sides rushed forward together, and shouted again and again: "Old man......" I couldn't care about the spring crows on the ground for a while.
The old doctor touched his beard and sighed, "Hiding your grudges and using dark arrows will bring disaster to your descendants." "Wan Zhichao's reputation, this doctor also knows.
When Wan Zhichao woke up again, he saw the sunlight shining in through the windowsill, shining on the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room, this was his study, and the servants on both sides saw that he was awake, so they ran out and shouted: "The master is fine, the master is fine." ”
Wan Zhichao shook his head, the old housekeeper on the side stepped forward and helped him, Wan Zhichao finally remembered that his son was killed, and his heart hurt when he thought about it, so he had to hold back and said to the housekeeper on the side: "What happened?" The housekeeper whispered: "Don't worry, my lord's body is parked properly, and I have bought the best coffin, and now I haven't reported to the official, my lord, do you want to report to the official." Wan Zhichao said: "Of course, I want to report to the official, and I have to post a notice, if someone takes this thief, I will reward 100,000 taels of silver." The housekeeper lowered his head, quietly glanced at Wan Zhichao and said, "My lord, this is not good, this silver is not good to take out in the open." Wan Zhichao thought about it, his annual income was only sixty stones, plus more than 100 taels of silver, although he was rich, but he couldn't take it out on the face like this, so he said to the housekeeper: "You spread the word to the green skins of Wuchang City, saying that whoever takes the head of this strong man, I will thank him for 100,000 taels of silver." The steward took it, but he didn't go down.
Wan Zhichao said: "What else is going on?"
The housekeeper said softly: "The spring crow girl had a miscarriage, but Dr. Deng saved the spring crow girl, how do you think you can tell Gongzi about this?" Wan Zhichao pondered for a while and said: "To be honest, there are countless capable people under Lai Gongzi, and they will definitely be able to hold this madman, so I will borrow Gongzi's hand to get rid of this strongman." The housekeeper said softly: "What the master said, in order to save the son's blood and bones, the master didn't even care about his own son, I think it's Lord Lai Minghua, and he can't say anything?" Wan Zhichao thought about it again and said: "It is estimated that this woman will have no value in the future, don't be too good to her, save some food and clothing, she doesn't like the son in the first place, presumably without this child, the son doesn't want to see her in the future, and he doesn't need to be too concerned about her." The butler bowed his head and said yes. Wan Zhichao said: "I want to go and see Childe lightly, you prepare a gift and give it to a few celebrities around Childe, none of them are allowed to be less, and then I will visit Childe again, and I must not let Childe have a dislike for me." The housekeeper also said in a low voice: "The master is wise, only by relying on the big tree of the son, our family will always have a source of money." Wan Zhichao said: "I worked hard to calculate, how can I mess up." ”
At this time, Wan Zhichao's concubine was arguing outside to see him, and Wan Zhichao said, "You will do it." The housekeeper took the order and went, and saw his concubine Linghua stepped forward, with joy on his face, this Linghua was born in the Qinglou, and when he arrived in Wanjia, there was no one to rely on, and he usually got the heart of Wan Zhichao, and when he saw Wan Zhichao, he cried and shouted: "If there is no master, how can you call the concubine how to live?"
Wan Zhichao said: "How is Madame?" Linghua cried: "Madame hasn't woken up yet, but she is in a hurry to die of the concubine." Wan Zhichao said: "You have always been in charge of the affairs in the backyard, and now you have to be more responsible." Linghua said: "Don't worry, if the concubine is in the backyard, even a penny of silver will not let the subordinates be greedy." Wan Zhichao said: "It turns out that you have done these things, I am relieved." Linghua said: "The old man said this, because Linghua had stayed in the place where the fence was built, but this hurt the concubine's heart." After saying that, he wanted to cry, Wan Zhichao was big for a while, and said: "Of course I didn't mean that, I know that you are in charge of the accounts, and you have always saved a lot." Linghua said: "Master, there is a way for the concubine to go further." Wan Zhichao said: "But you are saying, I know that the people in the backyard have always only known how to spend silver, but no one has ever thought of buying a penny of silver for this ten thousand houses." Linghua said: "The funeral of the little boy should be greatly handled, and if you invite more people, you will definitely be able to enter more gift lists." When Wan Zhichao heard this, he wanted to be angry, Linghua got up and knelt on the ground and cried: "Master, the concubine has always only thought about the master, but now the son is gone, but the silver money can no longer be lost, if the master wants to be punished, he will only punish one concubine." Wan Zhichao thought about it, put down his hand and said, "You can watch and do it." ”
Gou Yu performed light skills, went out of Wuchang City, and when he arrived outside Wuchang City, he found an empty dwelling and got into it. This is the place where the dog is rented, and he committed a crime, so naturally he didn't dare to stay in the city anymore, and ran out as soon as he slipped away.
Gou Yu ripped off his night clothes, stuffed them all under the bed, and guarded the basin of water, and when he saw his own appearance in the water, Gou Yu suddenly laughed, this is where the poor live, of course, there is no need to worry about others coming to verify.
Gou Yu shouted: "Wan Lao kills talents, you are finally today, you killed so many people, I killed you with a knife, didn't it make you happy? While he was laughing, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and the dog rolled on the ground and took out an iron sword from under the bed. In fact, he is more of a sword, but he is a soldier, most of them use knives, he has been by Li Qunshan's side for a long time, and naturally he can't have a sword by his side like an officer.
Ah Qiu's voice came from the front door, shouting: "Dog left, I know you are here, as soon as you come out of the ten thousand mansions, I will see you, I will come out quickly, I will have a few words to you." Cautiously, the dog opened the door, and then a dodge, but the heart begged for a secret weapon.
Ah Qiu stood in the courtyard, and did not take the weapon, and the dog Yu stepped forward and said: "You and I have already broken off in two, and the friendship is no longer there, what are you looking for me?" Ah Qiu said angrily: "I have seen it, what you have done in Wanjia, why do you want to hurt innocent people, you must know that what Wan Zhichao did has nothing to do with his son, but you ran to kill his son, and then kicked the child in the belly of the spring crow, don't you know your evil deeds?"
Gou Yu put away his sword and said: "I did this, it is to punish Wan Zhichao, he killed our team of grain transport brothers, more than 800 people, only more than 100 ran out, this dead more than 700 brothers have wives and children, you say that their wives and children are not heartbroken, they have lost relatives, but who are they looking for, I just let him taste this taste, your brothers, Zhou Shupi, Yi Da Brother, Hu Laosan, they, aren't they people? Why don't you dare to go to him and make enemies? But here you are talking nonsense with me, do you want to accept me as a little brother? Don't dream, I have already seen through you, you don't think about your brothers at all, you just want your brothers to do what you want to do, you have never thought about what Zhou Shupi is thinking? What is the difficulty of Hu Laosan, do you think that when you give an order, they will die for you as a matter of course? Don't dream, Xiao Qisan, in my heart, I look down on you. Gou Yu scolded, gasped a little, and said what was in his heart, and felt much more comfortable.
Ah Qiu said angrily: "Revenge can only find the right master, if you want to kill, you can only kill Wan Zhichao, his son and his wife, and the child in the belly of the spring crow are all innocent people, what is the difference between you and those demon demons? If you do this, won't you become the same kind of person as Wan Zhichao, we are different from him." ”
Gou Yu jumped, jumped to the side of the grinding stone, put the knife on the right hand, and looked at Ah Qiu carefully, this terrain has the use of defense, Gou Yu is still worried that Ah Qiu will suddenly attack, and he doesn't believe Ah Qiu in his heart.
Hearing Ah Qiu say this, Gou Yu sneered: "Kill Wan Zhichao with one knife, impossible, I don't want to kill him, I want to kill his family one by one, so that his life is worse than death, this is the punishment, you want to kill Wan Zhichao, I won't let him yet, because I want to see him die slowly." ”
Ah Qiu said angrily: "What is the difference between you and those people now, haven't you become another Wan Zhichao now?"
Gou Yu was also angry, and shouted: "We are the same, we are the same as Wan Zhichao, do you think that if you are good, you will be bullied, and if you are evil, you can enjoy life, this is the truth, but you are blinded by some twists and turns of truth, your current martial arts are not as good as mine, do you know why? Uncle once said, don't be blinded by the truth, you are blinded by these truths and morality, and now you are not as good as me in martial arts." ”
A begged: "You let go, let's go together, only find the two culprits to settle accounts, and the others, forget it, it's too late for you to let go now." Ah Qiu spoke at this time, and his feelings were sincere.
Gou Yu smiled: "Are you very intoxicated, thinking that as soon as you are the eldest brother, I will come to vote, you are not that piece of material at all, Hu Lao Sanyi's eldest brother and them, and Zhou Shupi, do you know what they are thinking? You don't know? You only think about them doing what you tell them to do every day, you don't treat them as brothers in your heart, do you think you are very good, think that others obey you, don't dream, your trick, I have already seen through the essence, you are far away from me, closer, be careful of the sword and no eyes." ”
Ah Qiu said angrily: "They were harmed, and I am also sad, but you can tell me, what are they all thinking? I don't know, do you know?" At this time, Ah Qiu was angry, because just now the dog had a few words that broke Ah Qiu's perception of himself, in his opinion, things should be done this way, and everything should not be like this.
Gou Yu said: "Brother Yi wants to learn kung fu from you, I asked you a few times, you are absent-minded, squeaky and squeaky, Hu Laosan wants to be a school official, you can be looser, earn some money for the family, I want to tell the uncle through you, you are just a vain response, Zhou Shupi is loyal to you, because Zhou Shupi wants to be the uncle's personal soldier, wants to be the uncle's third personal soldier, you obviously understand, but you don't care, do you think you are enough brothers, in fact, you are not enough brothers at all, they died, you didn't kowtow in front of their graves." ”
Ah Qiu said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Anyway, I just won't allow you to kill innocents again." ”
Gou Yu said: "You get out of here, you already sent me, what the uncle taught, you always learn a rough idea, you don't learn well at all, get out, when I see you, I think of a few brothers who died in vain." ”
Ah Qiu said as he walked back: "I won't let you hurt Wan Zhichao and Lai Changwei's family again, I will kill these two culprits, but I won't hurt their families." ”
Gou Yu also said: "It depends on whether you have the ability to do this." ”
Seeing that Ah Qiu was gone, Gou Yu carefully put away his weapon and said to himself: "This place is not suitable for a long time, I should change places." "Walked into the room, took out five taels of silver, put it on the table in the hall, and used it as rent, these silver were all snatched by him from Wan Zhichao's house, and the money for renting the house was also robbed.
Gou Yu cleaned up a little and said: "I'll observe it, continue to concoct Wan Zhichao, and the woman who sells the spring crow to seek glory, I will definitely not let you have a good time." ”
The days of the spring crows have not been easy.
That day he woke up, as soon as he touched his stomach, he knew that his hope was gone, and his heart suddenly swelled with boundless resentment, this child is her hope, is the hope of seeing Lai Gongzi again, fortunately, that Dr. Deng is extremely dedicated, and takes care of her very well, and in the past ten days, his body has gradually improved.
The sun shines into the window in the courtyard, Spring Crow thinks she is a strong woman, she has been bitter from the snack, her parents are difficult early, her uncle sold her, she has been doing rough work since she was a child, she has worked outside for three cold and three summers, she has not had a good life since she was a child, if she lived well, but when she met Li Qunshan later, it was very easy to work in Li's house, mainly because she was very relaxed mentally, and there was no feeling of being afraid all day long, if it weren't for meeting Lai Changwei, Spring Crow really planned to follow Xie Yu for a lifetime.
But she finally has hope, she also expects in her heart that the kind of big family of Zhumen, fresh clothes and angry horses, ushered in the send-off, expects that the people who looked down on themselves before will flatter themselves, and hopes that one day they can command the housekeeper on the side in the arrogance, and the housekeeper will do what she wants to help, and hope that one day she can also go to the big temple to burn incense like the wives and ladies she has served, and there are more than ten maids and women behind her, and the monks and Taoists stand aside respectfully to themselves, and they also look forward to having a proud husband.
Lai Gongzi is her hope.
Only one step away, she can step into her dream of "earning a lady", all of which has been ruined by the ignorant person who is digging in the soil, how can such a person as the dog can understand her hopes and dreams.
Spring Crow struggled to get up, the body of labor since childhood is still solid, although he has lost a lot of blood now, but it is definitely not like those Miss Jiao, Spring Crow struggled to the courtyard, only wearing a single dress, there is no maid in this courtyard, desolate and desolate, it turns out that in the past few days Wan Zhichao commanded, Spring Crow's treatment has naturally dropped a lot, Wan Zhichao also knows that in Lai Gongzi's heart, there is no status of Spring Crow, of course, he is unwilling to spend more time on Spring Crow.
Now the spring crow is very hungry, and in the past few days, only one mother-in-law has brought her a little porridge, but there is no other food.
There was a period of Taoist singing in the front yard, as well as the sound of monks chanting, it seems that the pomp in the front yard is not small, the smell of chicken, duck and fish in the air, and the sound of gongs and drums, while the two handmaidens walked past the spring crow, while whispering, the spring crow shouted: "You stop, did Lord Wan tell my son, otherwise why didn't the son come?" A handmaid smiled and said: "Lord Wan is very busy, Mrs. still has a good rest, and three meals a day are naturally delivered." The spring crow still wanted to speak, and another maid screamed: "Madame, let's take care of it, the maids have something, the funeral of the little boy in the front yard, but it can't be delayed, the maidservants are one step ahead." The two maidens went away on their own, ignoring the spring crows behind them.
The spring crow was so hungry at this time that she fainted, and the instinct of survival allowed her to move forward, and when she turned a yard, she saw a few small maids carrying a lot of dishes, and they went forward in rows, and the fragrance suddenly made the spring crow's eyes straighten, and the smell of oil was the most important thing for the spring crow to smell, and the hunger in the fishy burst made the spring crow's eyes shine.
She pounced, a little guy screamed, fell to the ground, the spring crow saw the soup on the aisle fall, poured on the ground, a fat chicken also mixed with oil and water fell on the bluestone bricks, the spring crow and the body pounced, snatched the chicken in his hand, sent it to his mouth, and at the same time arched his back, ready to be beaten by the little guys behind, now the spring crow is most concerned about swallowing the chicken.
But all the subordinates behind just screamed, but they didn't surround them, but dispersed in a hurry.
The spring crow did not look up, desperately stuffed the chicken into his mouth, the meat suddenly plugged the throat, the spring crow swallowed violently for a while, and finally swallowed this large mouthful of meat with difficulty, a force rose from the abdomen, the spring crow let out a howl, this kind of pleasure brought by hunger and fierce eating, the last experience, it was a few years ago.
Two feet wearing black boots appeared in front of the spring crow, a hand stretched out, pulled the chicken, the man's hand was strong, a piece of meat had been bitten into the mouth of the spring crow, but now let the person pull most of it, the chicken was taken away, the spring crow howled, desperately to rob, did not want this person to push, the spring crow took a few steps back, and finally saw the person clearly.
It is the dog leftover who kills a thousand knives in the heart of the spring crow.
Gou Yu looked at the half of the chicken in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the chicken flew to the roof, and the spring crow hurriedly pounced on the piece of beef that fell to the ground, and other things, and now the spring crow only wanted to fill all these things into his stomach.
The dog left a sneer, and galloped over, kicking his feet, and the big pieces of beef flew away, and there was only some soup on the ground.
The spring crow roared, pounced on the ground, and found a place where the oil soup gathered, it was a small pit in the bluestone bricks, the vegetables were overturned, and the oil soup was poured into this small pit, the spring crow lowered his head, and threw his hair on the ground, and aimed his mouth at the small pit, and drank it suddenly, and at the same time made a whining sound.
Gou Yu didn't come up to stop him this time, and when he saw that the spring crow had drunk all the soup, he said, "Can't you see that you're so hungry?"
Spring Crow laughed miserably: "When the great famine, my mother gave birth to two younger sisters, I wanted to pick them up and throw them into the dunghill outside the city, at that time we had five children in our family, if I were not the eldest sister, I would also be thrown into the dunghill, my mother will give birth to two sisters at a time, my mother is reluctant to throw, my father wants me to throw, my mother said that only one is allowed, and the sixth sister is hugged, so I went to throw the seventh sister, I threw the seventh sister into the dung pit, and watched my seventh sister lie in the dung pit, feeding on the dung, crying, calling my name, and asking me to take her back. ”
Gou Yu said: "I was also miserable when I was a child, my sister was very good to me, but she was robbed by the headman, and the headman later rewarded my sister to the next person, I watched my sister die in the shack, but I survived, and later met the uncle." ”
Spring Crow brushed his messy hair and said with a smile: "What are you? I remember that year, I saw a big dung pit outside the city, full of children who were about to die, some crying, some eating dung, some desperately crying and calling the names of their parents, and then I went to throw the sixth sister, and saw that the seventh sister was still alive, the seventh sister survived by eating dung, our family was hard, and it was also in that year that I was sold by my father and exchanged for three buckets of grain. ”
Gou Yu said: "Uncle is very good to you, you are at the uncle's house, and you live a young lady's life." ”
Spring Crow said: "I've been scared since I was a child, I want to live a good life, I want to be like those official wives, I can sit in a sedan chair, I can also command my subordinates, there is ice cube sour plum soup in summer, there is beef hot pot in winter, and you can cover a mink quilt when you sleep, and I see that I am one step away, I can be the wife of an official, and I can be the wife of the son, but it is you, you hurt you, you hurt the child in my womb, let me lose all this, I ......"
At this time, a group of family members took sticks, and when they saw the dog leftover, they didn't dare to step forward, but they only shouted from afar, and the dog leftover: "Spring crow, I don't care what kind of reason you have, I can't let you go, you see what I have in my hand." While speaking, the dog took out a piece of paper from his arms and waved it in the wind, although the spring crow did not know a few words, but he also recognized the three big characters on it: "deed of sale"
Gou Yu smiled: "Uncle used this thing to pad the table, because I saw that this thing was made of oilcloth, very hard, but I didn't expect me to find out, spring crow, with this thing, I will concoct you well, I will sell you to the secret door." ”
Chun Yao listened, his heart was angry, this thing was in his hand, it was really a heel to carry home, why didn't he find it and burn it, let him get it in his hand, you must know that the dog is a person who can do anything, not like Ah Qiu, but also talk about morality.
The spring crow wanted to bow his head and beg for mercy, but finally realized that it was useless, so he reluctantly stood up, and suddenly ran to the crowd of people like crazy.
Just ran to the side of the family, presumably the dog can't hold his own, as long as the person is here, Lai Changwei will think of himself one day, and then he can be a concubine, how can he live better than now, and he can live a life of eating meat every day.
Seeing that they were close to the housekeepers, but all the housekeepers showed a look of horror in their eyes, they threw down their sticks and scattered in a hurry, and the spring crows chased after them for a few steps, but did not catch up, and saw them run farther and farther.
The spring crow stopped, wanted to cry a few words, but before he could make a sound, a hand from behind reached over, grabbed her, lifted her up, and said with a smile: "They are all afraid of me, now I will concoct you well, don't worry, I have no interest in you, I will really sell you to the secret door, let you pick up a hundred customers a day." The spring crow saw the roof at his feet, saw that he was caught by the dog, and flew out of Wanfu, and the lights in the front yard gradually moved away from him, and he could no longer see it.
When I woke up again, I heard a rough sound everywhere.
Gou Yu: "I want three taels, and three taels will give her to you." “
A scream similar to that of an old bustard said: "I have never seen an uncle like this, he doesn't bargain for the price, but he suffers a loss, and he talks about the cheap, of course the old man can't ask for it." ”
Spring Crow looked at the four walls, and saw a loess wall, an earthen window, the ground was full of mud, a stubby strong man smirked at himself at the door, he laughed twice, Spring Crow suddenly understood what kind of place this was, Spring Crow got up, scolded: "The dog is left with you to do something, no wonder your mother and your sister have to die well, it turns out that you dare to do this lack of virtue." ”
Outside, the dog said: "You are here, I will come to see you after a while, now that your son finds you, you can't go back, you stay here for a year, if you bear it for a year, I will treat you as atoning for your sins." “
The old bustard shouted: "Uncle, you can't say that, if you say this, the old body will not do this business." ”
Gou Yu smiled: "Mom, don't worry, I'll buy it back with thirty taels at that time, what do you think?"
The old bustard smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the son will not give this money when the time comes." ”
Gou Yu said: "There is only one, this person is not coming from the right way, you have to keep your mouth shut, if something happens, don't blame me." The old bustard smiled and said, "The old body is doing a line, and it doesn't matter where this person comes from, and when you get to the old body, train for a few days, and the old body will dig back the silver from her." ”
Gou Yu smiled: "Then I'll go, my mother is so good to train this evil woman, this evil woman is not a vegetarian, and there are a lot of harms." ”
The old bustard smiled and said: "No matter how fierce a woman is, if she commits a crime in the hands of the old body, she must be obedient, and the wicked will be grinded by the wicked, and the old body will grind the wicked, and the son will rest assured." ”
The dog left: "Mom, then I'll go." As she spoke, she heard footsteps, and when the spring crow heard the voice, a feeling of despair came to her heart, what a secret prostitute was, and she didn't know it, but it was hard work for decades, and she returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.
A thin woman walked in and said with a smile: "Girl, this will be your home from now on, this one." She pointed to the fat black man on the side with her hand and said, "It's your aunt, you have to serve your aunt well in the future, but you can't lose money all the time." ”
The spring crow got up and shouted: "No, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled, I'm going to be a noble wife, I can't be here, I'm going to be a first-class lady......"
The old bustard sneered and said, "When you finish doing things for the old body, when you reach the age of the old body, you will naturally see it." ”
