Chapter 85: Funding the Funeral

It is said that Chu Ping and Shui Lingyu rushed straight to everyone, said "borrow light" to everyone, and came into the crowd to see what was going on.

When they came to the front of the people, they saw a woman about thirty years old at the base of the wall, wearing a gray-white coarse cloth coat on her upper body, a pair of coarse white cloth trousers on her lower body, a thick white strip of hemp rope tied around her waist, and a white cloth knot tied on her head. Seeing that the woman's eyes were full of tears, kneeling there, bowing her head and sobbing, it made people feel very uncomfortable≮ On the ground in front of the woman, there was a white piece of paper with black characters written on it, and among them, a literate person leaned forward and read softly: "Confess to the neighbors of Sifang Street who learned that the little woman Zhangmen Li, because her husband died a few days ago, had no money to buy clothes and coffins, so that the bones of her deceased husband have been exposed to this day. Uncles and uncles, generously donating money to help bury the couple are grateful, forever grateful for the kindness of people to solve difficulties, and those who abandon the world will always feel under the nine springs!" Thinking of this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble, and they sighed and sighed.

Chu Ping was chivalrous by nature, helping the needy, acting righteously, thinking that it was within his own duty, and now seeing Zhang Li's family in such a predicament, he couldn't bear it, and shook his head again and again and sighed: "Ahem! Poor it, pitiful!" opened the baggage, took out fifty taels of silver from the baggage, leaned down, handed it to Zhang Li's hand, and said: "This sister-in-law is willing to fund fifty taels of silver to help sister-in-law handle the aftermath of your husband!

Zhang Li trembled and stretched out his hand, took the silver handed over by Chu Ping, and bowed his head again and again: "Thank you so much, thank you so much! Dare to ask Engong's surname, where is the fairy town?

Chu Ping waved his hand again and again and said: "No need, sister-in-law! A little silver tael, what a foot to say! Sister-in-law should hurry back to the countryside and teach the deceased to be safe!"

Seeing Chu Ping so generous and righteous, everyone couldn't help but secretly praise it, and an old master admired Chu Ping's chivalrous deeds in his heart, and secretly sighed: "The eldest husband doesn't want to repay his kindness, righteous!" Unexpectedly, there are also villains who have a ghost idea from behind, and secretly said: "Wouldn't it be a pity that the silver of the white flowers is wasted on a dead man's body in vain! Why don't I wait for the opportunity to get the silver in my hands, so that I can live happily in the kiln for a few days?"

Here, you might as well explain this person first, because next, it is better to explain a story from this person first, and it can also save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

This person's surname is Wu Huaizhong, this kid has never done good deeds, he has been abducted and stolen, he has taken up everything, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, and smoking a good thing, and he has not ≤done a good thing, but he has done a lot of bad things, and the eight relatives in the township have all hated him, and he is called "Wu Bad Seed" ≮ Huaizhong This kid has met a lot of fox friends and dog friends in private, one of them, surnamed Yao Ming Chuancheng, was originally a bandit, and the bandit name was "Flying on the Grass", with the other three people, respectively called "Skilled Craftsman" Ma Debiao, "Chishui Ao" Wei Kangchen, and "Mourning God" Lu Tianqiao, these four guys together, opened a black shop in the woods thirty miles outside the village, specializing in using sweat medicine to harm people's lives and seek money.

Gossip is not enough, but let's get back to the business (it is said that Zhang Li picked up the silver taels funded by Chu Ping, and was about to take a small road to return home, and bury his deceased husband ● It was only a few miles away from the village that he suddenly saw a thief wearing a mask, "poofing" out of the woods, blocking his way, this person is the "black bad seed". "Wu Bad Seed" slowly came to Zhang Li's side, stretched out his hand to her, and shouted: "Little girl, I advise you to hand over the silver to me happily, if you don't pay it, don't blame Uncle Hugh I'm not kind to you! Hurry up and bring it, hurry up!"

Zhang Li was so frightened that he trembled, took a few steps back, and said tremblingly: "You...... What the hell do you want to do? I'm a woman who has just died of my husband, and it's pitiful enough, so why do you want to have trouble with me? Can't you have pity on me and let me go?"

"Black Bad Seed" smiled coldly: "I pity you, then who will pity me? I advise you to know each other, and quickly hand over the fifty taels of silver to me, if not, I will ......" Before he could continue to speak, but out of nowhere, suddenly flew over a cut of wood, knocking the kid out in an instant, and fell on his back, vomiting blood∨ Li Shi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and looked back, but saw Chu Ping, Shui Lingyu and the others walked over to this side, Zhang Li suddenly felt pleasantly surprised, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Chu Ping, and thanked: "Thank you Engong for coming to my rescue in time, the little woman is so grateful!"

Chu Ping raised his hand and saluted: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Sister-in-law, please step aside first, and wait for me to get rid of this shameless thief!"

Ranking officials, why did you say that Chu Ping suddenly rushed here? It was only because when Zhang Li left the village, the "black bad seed" couldn't wait to follow him, intending to plot against him, but Chu Ping had already looked at him, and because he couldn't worry about Zhang Li's safety, he deliberately followed.

Let's say that Chu Ping came to the "black bad seed", stepped on his chest, twisted off the mask on his face, and saw that he looked obscene and dirty, and sneered: "Boy, with your piece of material, you have also learned to be a thief cutting path, aren't you afraid that one day you will accidentally lose your own life in vain?"

The "black bad seed" endured the pain, glared at Chu Ping with angry eyes, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, you don't look down on people anymore! I think you are just using some indiscriminate means to plot against others, and there is nothing really capable of doing it, let me go, and compete with Uncle Wu and me face to face?"

Seeing that he was not convinced, Chu Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay! It seems that if I don't teach you a good lesson today, you won't be convinced." Then he withdrew his feet. The "black bad seed" stroked his chest with his hand, took a long breath, got up from the ground with a "grunt", dusted off the dust on his body, clenched his hands into fists, and stepped on the Yangtze River with his feet back and forth, posing in a posture ready to attack at any time. Chu Ping paced back and forth, looked him up and down, and couldn't help laughing: "Boy, it seems that you seem to have learned a little bit of boxing and kicking, so let me accompany you to have a good time today!"

Zhang Li reminded: "Engong must not be careless, this 'black bad seed' can be bad! He loves to use some obscene means to harm people, and Engong must be on guard!"

Chu Ping turned around, thanked Zhang Li, turned to face the "black bad seed", beckoned, and said with a smile: "Boy, don't be stupid there, hurry up, let the horse come over!"

"Black Bad Seed" shouted, waved his fist, and rushed straight towards Chu Ping, Chu Ping quickly turned sideways and flashed him, and knocked him on the back with a twist, "Poof", "Black Bad Seed" fell and gnawed on the mud, and Shui Lingyu couldn't help but scream excitedly. "Black Bad Seed" got up from the ground in a hurry, stretched out his hand to stroke his back, and shouted angrily with his teeth: "Good boy, your footwork is quite dexterous! You flashed it over! This time, I must catch you!" Before the words fell, he rushed towards Chu Ping with his teeth and claws, and when he got closer, Chu Ping quickly grabbed his wrist, twisted it backwards violently, and swept his feet like this, "Wu Bad Seed" fell to the ground with a "poof" sound, and scolded angrily: "His grandmother's actually threw me again!" Getting up and about to step forward, Chu Ping quickly bent down and squatted, and made a sweeping leg, only to hear a "poof" sound, and the "black bad seed" actually fell down on his back again, and he screamed and screamed, and the "black bad seed" was thrown three times in a row, and he refused to get up again, lying on the ground and humming: "Grandpa can't get up, save the old teacher to teach you to knock the kid down, it's still comfortable to lie down!"

Seeing that he was actually lying on the ground and suffering Lailai, Chu Ping couldn't help but smile and said: "Boy, it turns out that you will do these two tricks, and you will use a trick to 'play Laipi', but that's it!

"Black Bad Seed" simply closed his eyes, lay straight on the ground, and snorted: "I don't accept it, I just don't accept it!

Chu Ping shook his head again and again, "Oh! It's really a good thing! That's good, since you don't want to get up by yourself, then let me help you!" he said, ready to lean over and pull him up.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the "black bad seed" took out a bag of lime powder out of nowhere and sprinkled it in front of Chu Ping, Chu Ping couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly turned over to dodge, although he was not hurt by the lime powder, but his clothes were stained with a lot, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Damn! It's really insidious enough! I have to teach you a good lesson today!" The root of his foot has not yet stood firmly, but he saw Chu Ping slashing the sword horizontally towards his neck with his backhand, and this time the "black bad seed" could not dodge, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death. Chu Ping thought for a moment: "Although he is hateful, but he is not guilty of death, how can I easily ruin his life......?" Thinking of this, when the sword was coldly attached to his neck, he quickly turned his hand up and slashed it, only to hear a miserable scream of "oops", and only to see a bloody ear, and it fell to the ground. was so frightened that Zhang Li and Shui Lingyu both covered their eyes with their hands, and they didn't dare to look directly at the past. The "black bad seed" covered the short part of his right ear with his hand, squatted on the ground and wailed, and scolded angrily: "Okay, you stinky boy who deserves to be killed by the sky! You are really vicious enough, I, I will kill you in the future, in revenge for cutting off your ears today!"

Chu Ping put the sword back into its sheath, drove the bloody ear on the ground aside, drove the soil with his feet, covered the bloody crops on the ground, came to Shui Lingyu, removed her hands, and said, "Okay, Lingyu! It's okay, just open your eyes!"

Shui Lingyu slowly opened her eyes, and saw that the "bad seed" had fled, and there was nothing to be afraid of on the ground, she raised her head and looked at Chu Ping, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Chu Ping, I, it's the first time I've seen you do this?"

"What?" Chu Ping smiled: "Do you think it's a little too cruel for me to do this?"

"No, ......!" Shui Lingyu waved his hand again and again: "That guy is too insidious, too bad, Brother Chu Ping, you are doing this, not only is it not too much at all, but it is also cheaper for him!

Chu Ping held her shoulders and said with a smile: "Okay, Lingyu! Since you are afraid of seeing such a bloody scene, then in the future, I will no longer be in front of you, just use it to kill people!"

Shui Lingyu waved her hand and said, "No, Brother Chu Ping! If someone wants to hurt you, how can you not use your sword to fight back because I am cowardly? ”

Chu Ping was speechless, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay...... I will try not to hurt people as a last resort, so that my Lingyu will not be scared, and I can also make you and me safe.

"Well, that's good!" Shui Lingyu nodded and smiled.

Zhang Li slowly came to the front of the two of them, and said: "It turns out that Engong, you are the 'Tianshan Righteous Hero' Chu Ping Chu Daxia!

Chu Ping clasped his hands into fists and said: "It's just a cheap name, why worry about it! I don't deliberately want to hide it, I hope my sister-in-law can understand!"

Zhang Li smiled reluctantly and said: "Chu Daxia's words are serious, how can the little woman be strange! The little woman also wants to thank Chu Daxia for his gift of silver and rescue! Chu Daxia, thank you!" he said, bowing to Chu Ping.

Chu Ping hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Sister-in-law is polite, I can't afford it! Okay, sister-in-law! Now that the thief has been driven away, you better hurry home! I hope that sister-in-law will have a lot of things along the way!"

Zhang Li thanked him: "Thank you to Engong, the little woman will go home." "Zhang Li was about to turn around and leave, Shui Lingyu stepped forward to hold her hand and asked her: "This sister, please forgive my sister for taking the liberty of asking, I don't know how far there is to get from here to your home?"

Zhang Li smiled slightly: "Don't tell my sister, there are still ten miles from here to my house." I wonder why my sister is asking all this?"

Shui Lingyu turned to face Chu Ping and said, "Brother Chu Ping, I ......"

Before Shui Lingyu could continue, Chu Ping held her shoulders and said with a smile: "Lingyu, I understand what you mean." Okay, why don't we just send my sister-in-law home, and then set off for a hurry, what do you think?"

Shui Lingyu nodded happily and said with a smile: "Well! Very good! Brother Chu Ping, you really understand my mind!"

Hearing this, Zhang Li was stunned and said, "This, how can this make the little woman bother the two of you to work so hard for me?"

Shui Lingyu stepped forward to hold her hand and said with a smile: "Why is my sister so hypocritical? Anyway, the two of us are idle, so it's better to send my sister home!"

Zhang Li couldn't refuse, and thanked him: "In this way, the little woman will thank you two for your kindness!"

Shui Lingyu patted her hand and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Sister, it's better for us to set off!"

Zhang Li nodded and said, "Hmm!" The three of them walked together.

After about half an hour's journey, I finally came to Zhang Li's home, and saw that there was a courtyard in front of me that was not too big, surrounded by fence walls, sitting on three grass houses facing north and south, in the yard, there was an old woman with white hair, who looked about sixty or seventy years old, and took a closer look with her eyes, and found that the old woman's eyes could not see light, and she was sitting on a narrow bench silently waiting for the old man's arms, and was holding a little boy who was less than four years old, constantly looking around, seems to be full of curiosity about everything around him.

Zhang Li came to the old woman, squatted down, stroked the child's little head, looked up at the old woman, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law is back! This time, the daughter-in-law finally met a kind person, he has a good heart, he is chivalrous and courageous, he is not stingy, he is very generous, and he gave his daughter-in-law fifty taels of silver at once! Now, we can finally bury Brother Feng properly!"

The old woman stretched out her head and stroked Zhang Li's back, choked up, and said: "Good daughter-in-law, these days, I have really suffered you! In order to raise the cost of Feng'er's burial, you have been running around, begging grandpa to tell grandma everywhere, and you have not been looked down upon by others! Fortunately, God has taken pity on our Zhang family, and finally let you meet a kind person." Child, after Feng'er is buried, my mother-in-law advises you to leave Xiaohuzi with me, and you have your own, or find another good family and live in peace!"

Zhang Li was stunned, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried: "Mother-in-law, although my daughter-in-law is not virtuous, she thinks that she has not violated the rules of the seven outs, why do you want to ruthlessly expel me from the Zhang family?"

The old woman waved her hand again and again: "Child, you have misunderstood me, I am not expelling you, but for your own good, you are still so young, you can't be a widow for the rest of your life, right? Listen to your mother-in-law, let's find a good family and marry again!"

"No!" Zhang Li cried: "Mother-in-law, as the saying goes, 'Loyal ministers don't care about the second master, and the martyr doesn't marry the second husband!' The daughter-in-law is born as a member of the Zhang family, and death is the ghost of the Zhang family. On the day of the daughter-in-law's death, the ∨-in-law, who is still with Brother Feng, begs you, daughter-in-law, please don't drive me out, okay?"

The old woman hugged Zhang Li and cried bitterly, and even the little tiger in her arms cried together. The old woman hugged Zhang Li and choked up: "Good boy, you are really a good daughter-in-law of our Zhang family! Since you are bound to be determined to observe the festival, then well, from now on, the three of us ancestors and grandchildren will depend on each other and live together!"

"Thank you, mother-in-law!" the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged their heads and cried.

Seeing such a scene, Shui Lingyu couldn't control her emotions anymore, and suddenly threw herself into Chu Ping's cup, sobbing softly, Chu Ping hugged her with his hand, and said with relief: "Okay, Lingyu! Don't cry anymore!"

The old woman was blind, but her ears were very clear, and she had already heard the movement, and she couldn't help but be stunned: "Like a dream, stop crying, let me ask you, is there anyone else in the courtyard?"

Zhang Li stopped crying, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, don't be so alarmed, let your daughter-in-law introduce you to one or two, these two are the kind-hearted people who funded the daughter-in-law's silver two, one is the 'Tianshan Righteous Hero' Chu Ping Chu Daxia, and the other is Chu Daxia's confidante, Shui Ling Yushui girl, both of them are good people!"

After hearing this, the old woman nodded again and again: "Oh! It turns out that the benefactor of my Zhang family has arrived! Two, please forgive the old woman for being blind, she can't entertain them well, let alone pay a salute to them, and I hope you can understand!"

Chu Ping stepped forward and said: "The eldest lady doesn't need to be too polite, when I see that the eldest sister-in-law is in a pitiful situation, I can't bear it, so I don't have to worry too much about it!"

"Yes, Auntie!" Shui Lingyu said, "Auntie doesn't have to be so polite. ”

The old woman nodded again and again and smiled: "Thank you two, thank you!

"Don't dare to be!" Chu Ping turned to Zhang Li and saluted, and said: "Sister-in-law, now that my sister-in-law has arrived home safely, the two of us will not bother here, and we will leave!" Before leaving, he deliberately took out a hundred taels of silver from the burden and handed it over to Zhang Li's family, as a future life for his ancestors and grandchildren∨ Li insisted on refusing to accept it, but Chu Ping insisted on giving it to her, coupled with Shui Lingyu's strong persuasion from the side, Zhang Li couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the silver, bowed to the two of them, and the two returned the salute, and then turned around and left Zhang's house.

Zhang Li sent the two out of the house, and after saying goodbye, Zhang Li returned to the courtyard and discussed with his mother-in-law about the burial of his deceased husband.
