When I came out, I saw my mother's red eyes again. The last time I saw her cry was when her grandfather died.

I don't know if she feels sorry for me or if she feels sorry for the bracelet.

Or, I feel sorry for the hope that finally appeared, but was dashed in an instant.

I will no longer be able to participate in the imperial examinations.

If the yamen has a criminal record, he is no longer an innocent person.

This time, my mother cried for a long time.

She didn't tell me why she was crying at the end. She just shed tears and continued to do her old job.

And I secretly made up my mind in my heart that in the future, I would never let my mother be so sad again.

That night, my uncle came out of the temple and took me to a secluded place in the middle of nowhere, and fished out a sack from a tree pit. opened the sack, and inside was Young Master Liu, who was tied up and was already unconscious.

The uncle pulled the cuff of Young Master Liu's left hand apart, revealing the jade bracelet inside.

That's my jade bracelet, my mother's jade bracelet.

My uncle said, "If you lost it from me, you should go and get it back myself."

I stepped forward to get my jade bracelet, but Young Master Liu's hands were tied together, and he couldn't take the bracelet without untying the rope.

My uncle handed me a dagger.

I aimed the dagger at the rope and asked my uncle what would happen if he ran away.

The uncle stretched out his fingers and pushed the dagger down, falling on Young Master Liu's wrist, and said, "Then don't untie him."

Seeing that I didn't seem to understand, my uncle said:

Chop off his hands.

I looked at Young Master Liu's wrist, and the fire fold illuminated his white veins. I don't know if it was the sound of our voice or the coldness of the blade, Young Master Liu finally woke up.

He was confused, then angry, and finally fearful.

He looked at me in fear.

I have to say that this is the first time I have seen others look at me like this, and I didn't feel panicked.

Even, a little indescribable enjoyment.

This kind of vision, although it is also the vision of looking at monsters, is much better looking than the previous disdain and hatred, and Young Master Liu also looks much cuter.

When my uncle saw that I was slow to do anything, he said, forget it, he will do the dirty work. In a family, there is always a face in front of people, and a person who works behind people.

I didn't give the dagger back to my uncle, I just told him, give me some more time.

Yes, give me some time, I'm nervous too, I need to prepare.

At the same time, I also like Young Master Liu's expression of grief and pleading at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, but the fear and pleading in Young Master Liu's eyes gradually decreased, and the contempt that I hated slowly resurfaced.

Heh, yes, do you think I don't dare to do it? I said to Young Master Liu, my voice was so cold that it didn't seem to come out of my throat.

Then he pressed the tip of the knife against the beating meridians on Young Master Liu's wrist, a little hard.

Young Master Liu finally had a pleading look again, and the panic that made me like it.

This kind of Young Master Liu is much cuter than the high-spirited appearance on weekdays.

The dagger cut into the flesh, and Young Master Liu struggled desperately, like an earthworm wriggling on the ground, and there was a nice whimper in his mouth.

I asked my uncle if I could untie the rope from his mouth.

Uncle said, what do you want to ask him?

I said no, I just wanted to hear him wail and beg for mercy, to hear how painful he was.

My uncle rarely rejected me, and he looked at me for a long time before he frowned and said, afraid that the passing hunters would hear.

I didn't force it, and continued to insert the dagger into Young Master Liu's wrist little by little, blood flowing everywhere in his struggle.

Young Master Liu finally couldn't bear the pain and fainted again.

What a disappointment.

I asked my uncle how to get him to wake up again.

My uncle didn't seem to want to face me like this, saying that there was no way, and he couldn't wake up after he passed out.

I said, "I'm cutting to the bone, I can't cut it anymore."

Uncle said, while he fainted, now untie the rope for him and take it off his hand.

I said no, what if he was pretending.

Then he put his knee against his wrist and broke it with all his might, back and forth several times, finally breaking his bones.

This time, Young Master Liu woke up again, feeling the intense pain in his wrists, and struggling on the ground sweating profusely.

I cut off the rest of the flesh and cut off his hand.

Take back the blood-stained bracelet, and my uncle will say let's go.

I said, what about Young Master Liu.

Uncle said that he would not survive with so much blood.

I said that he was all in good condition, except for his wrist, which was cut off, and everyone knew that I had come to retrieve the jade bracelet.

My uncle was finally a little annoyed and asked me what I wanted.

I said, "What was lost from my hand, I will take it back myself." Here's what you said. And it's not just this bracelet that I'm missing.

He ruined everything for me. The purpose is just to want this bracelet of mine.

Uncle sighed, took a few steps to the side, and stopped talking.

The next day, the young master of the Liu family was only left with a pile of broken clothes and bones buried in the ground, and his flesh and blood would probably turn into a bubble of shit in the evening and see the light of day again.

My uncle returned to the temple before dawn, and I took one of Young Master Liu's palms to the house of a classmate in the west of the city.

His parents were out on business, and when he woke up, I sat at the head of his bed, smiling at him.

He was startled at first, then pointed at my nose and scolded me in shock and anger.

I smiled and said to him, if you shout a few more times, the whole city will know that you stole Young Master Liu's golden lock.

He really didn't shout, and he held back for a long time before he said a word, and blood spurted from his mouth.

I said, "You know what you know."

He said, "I have no evidence."

I said, I don't need proof.

I took out the wrapped left hand of Young Master Liu and threw it in front of him.

He was so frightened that he was hoarse.

I said, if you bring in the city patrol quickly, they will search your room, find out the golden lock you stole, and then count Young Master Liu's death on you.

He was very obedient, and immediately quieted down, and then said, How do you know that the golden lock is here with me.

I pointed to the palm of my hand and said, he told me. He wanted my bracelet, so he exchanged the gold lock for you to commit perjury on his behalf, and pointed out to his classmates that I had turned over his bookcase.

He said, "You know everything, are you here to take revenge?"

I said, "You are not worthy, and besides you are useful."

He said, "Why should I help you?"

I said, "Right now, this hand is with you, and you can find the golden lock in your house, as long as I go out and shout, a wise and righteous god will definitely catch you, a thief who seeks money and kills people."

He said, "How can the government believe that you, a foreigner, don't believe me?"

I said, "Do you think I've brought a hand?" Even if you tell this hand, you won't be able to tell the bones in your rice jar.

He was hesitating.

I also said, "Even if the government doesn't convict you in the end, what will others think of you?" Do you think that these gossips can be cleared up for you with a piece of paper? The world likes to make things out of nothing, and as long as one person is still talking about it, slowly, everyone will believe it and think that you will be the murderer, not to mention, you are the murderer in the first place. Moreover, if you shout again, I will take off your pants, and when others come in, I will see you naked and pressed by me, and I think you will not have to live in this city of song in the future.

He was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you want me to help you?"

I took out a shoe from the bookcase and threw it to him, and told him: You go to Liu's house and say that you saw Young Master Liu stumble and fall into the river, this is his shoe.

He said: What if the Liu family doesn't believe it.

I said: This is your problem, you know Young Master Liu's character, do you think you really take this golden lock so easily? Even if it is just a gold-plated lock, you shouldn't take it from him. If he doesn't die, you will finish too.
