Volume 1 The First Entry into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 11 Ignorance of Conscience, Murder and Arson

The red dust and white waves are boundless, and forbearance and softness are the magic formula.

Everywhere with the fate of the years, a lifetime of peace.

Hugh will be ignorant of his own heart, and do not praise the faults of others.

Be cautious and have no frustration, and be patient and negotiable.

The hard crossbow string has never been broken first, and the steel knife edge is easy to hurt every time.

Trouble is only caused by idle talk, and most of the sorrow is ruthless.

There is no need to fight for right and wrong, so why should we judge each other.

The world is flawed, and the phantom body is free from impermanence.

In "Master Hanshan's Awakening Song", he said: The world's troubles and strife are boundless, like the vast red dust and white waves, only forbearance and softness are the best ways to deal with the world;

The smoke curls up, and the sun is thin:

At the east end of Nanji Village, in a gateway compound, I saw Zhang Lao pacing around the courtyard with his hands behind his back; at this time, his face was scorched, sometimes rubbing his temples, sometimes sighing, and complaining: "You say, you can't even look at a little hairy child, why let him run away, I already know how safe it should be to lock him up." Besides, this thief is too, there was a thunder and lightning last night, and I didn't give a drop of rain, and seeing that tomorrow is a three-day appointment, how can I be a good ......"

On the side of the courtyard, Li Lao Er's brows were tightly locked, he looked at Zhang Lao wandering around the courtyard, and said: "I said Second Uncle, don't turn around, you have stunned me, this thing has already happened, we are useless to worry, since the little beggar ran away, I think it must be impossible to catch it; I really didn't expect that this kid was so ruthless that he poisoned the rhubarb to death......

At this time, hearing Li Lao Er mention rhubarb, there was a choking sound of Cui Lan in the house. Although this rhubarb is not an outstanding earth dog, but he has lived in this family for 12 years, and he is very obedient; But this can't be blamed on Tang Feng, who let your family want to harm people.

Speaking of Cuilan, she is also a bumpy person. Fifteen years ago, her man died of tuberculosis, and he had no children and no daughters. At that time, there was a bad custom in the mountain village, and the women of the ten miles and eight villages liked to talk about their parents' shortcomings when they had nothing to do, so they talked behind their backs, saying that this Cuilan was the order of Kefu, and as a result, it spread ten, ten, and hundred, and this matter spread.

At the time, Cuilan was immersed in the grief of losing her loved ones, and such rumors were undoubtedly worse for her. So, in desperation, she set up a chaste archway, and was widowed for her deceased husband for the rest of her life. However, time passes, the past is like smoke, can she really survive this long night?

Let's talk about this Li Lao Er, he was originally the second son of the old Li family in the west of the village, because he was lazy all day long when he was young, idle, and still a master who beat his father and scolded his mother, and his reputation was very bad, so there was never a matchmaker in these ten miles and eight villages to introduce family affairs, and the result was more than 20 years, and now he is over forty years old, and he is still a single.

It is said that the fish is looking for fish, the shrimp is looking for shrimp, and the turtle is looking for Wang Ba. This Li Lao Er has been a bachelor for many years, and he has long been lustful for Cuilan, and the two are almost the same age, only two years younger than Cuilan, so he looks for opportunities to tease in private.

At the beginning, Cuilan also tried her best to resist stubbornly, but this Li Lao Er carried water every three days and sent firewood every five days.

To say that Zhang Lao, but he is a mercenary villain, as an elder with a high status in Nanji Village, Mingjinger in his heart generally knows such things as Cuilan and Li Laoer, but he connives, and uses this Li Laoer everywhere to do some shady things. When these three people get together, it is really an ugly picture of the world.

Suddenly, Li Laoer's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhang Lao: "Second uncle, why don't we get the daughter of the Li family out of the iron abduction, his daughter is just seven or eight years old, and the woman in his family is not early, just this old lame man, it is convenient to start......"

"Don't say it, you can't think of it, according to the generation, then Li Cripple is still your second brother, how can you hit him with a crooked idea, you come over to me. Zhang Lao said angrily.

Hearing Zhang Lao call him, Li Lao Er didn't dare not listen, so he stood up and came in front of Zhang Lao.

Zhang Laoyi leaned over, stuck to Li Laoer's ear, and asked in a low voice, "When will you do it?"

Li Lao Er shook his head, and then smiled evilly, and replied: "...... tonight."

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson:

At night, the village returns to its pristine silence. Under the vast night, a black shadow crept outside a courtyard, and watched carefully, this person was not someone else, it was Li Lao Er.

In front of me, the broken courtyard wall has not been repaired for many years, as if it were a non-existent thing. I saw Li Lao Er wearing a black night suit, raising his legs high, landing lightly, quietly coming under the window lattice, listening to the movement inside, and the snoring in the house was like thunder. So he came to the door of the house, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a pig-killing knife from his waist behind his back, and the knife opened the crack in the door, and slowly pried it to the left, and the latch inserted in the house was pried open little by little.

When he came to the house, he put away the pig-killing knife, and took out two embroidered handkerchiefs from his arms. This ecstasy is made of grinding mandala flowers into powder, because mandala flowers contain hyoscyamine, which can relax people's muscles, inhibit the secretion of sweat glands, and can play an anesthetic role, so it is often used by bad people to refine ecstasy.

In the house, Li Lao Er held the ecstasy handkerchief in both hands, looking at the sleeping Li lame man and his daughter on the kang, Li Lao Er pointed the ecstasy handkerchief at the mouth and nose of the two and covered it. This crippled Li was snoring and falling asleep, his mouth and nose were blocked like this, and he felt very itchy and unbearable, so he suddenly sat up.

In the dark, Li Cripple was sleepy-eyed, his eyes were straight, he looked at a figure standing on the opposite side, and then he felt that something was wrong, and he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and shouted loudly: "Who are you?"

At this time, Li Lao Er was also taken aback, he thought that he could easily stun the two of them, but he didn't expect this Li lame man to react so quickly, and stayed in place for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.

At this time, Li Cripple felt out of the fire sickle while arguing in his mouth, and he wanted to see who the thief in the dark was. It didn't matter if he was noisy, but he frightened Li Laoer, and in a hurry, he dropped the ecstasy handkerchief, pulled out the pig-killing knife from his waist, pressed his throat, and said to Li Cripple: "Don't make a noise, I'll kill you if you quarrel again." ”

Originally, this Li Lao Er was not very bold, and he had never killed pigs and slaughtered sheep, he just wanted to take out a knife to scare and scare Li Cripple, but he didn't think about it, but his words were heard by Li Cripple.

"You, you, you're a Li Guang, okay, you Li Er, you don't sleep in the middle of the night and come to steal things, see if I don't break your dog's legs", this Li Lame thought that Li Lao Er was here to steal things, but he didn't guess wrong, it was a fake to steal things, but he didn't know that this Li Lao Er stole people.

As soon as Li Lao Er saw that the other party recognized him, he knew that the matter had been revealed, so he turned his head and wanted to run. Suddenly, Li Cripple grabbed the back of his neck and said, "Second Li, don't run." ”

At this time, Li Lao Er was arrested, he was anxious, and he had already seen a cold sweat on his head, so he turned around and pushed with both hands, wanting to push Li Lame away, but he forgot that he was still holding a pig-killing knife in his hand, only to hear a "poof" sound, and the pig-killing knife more than a foot long submerged into Li Cripple's heart, leaving only a knife handle outside. Li Cripple was stabbed in his heart, and without even snorting, he fell in a pool of blood and died on the spot.

"Ah, I killed, I killed. Li Lao Er was frightened for a while, at this time, his legs trembled, cold sweat flowed, and he sat on the floor of Li's lame house. He sat on the ground and thought about it for a while, and finally, he finally bit his teeth and his heart was horizontal, fuck it, don't do it, don't you stop, I just burned his house and died without proof.

Then, Li Lao Er untied the big pocket he had prepared from his waist, put the unconscious child into his pocket, he went into the house again, picked up the fire sickle that had just fallen on the ground, found some old clothes and rags, and set the fire on fire.

In the night, Li Lao Er fled to the east of the village with a big bag, and behind him, the flames soared into the sky......
