"Your mother is seriously ill and doesn't have much time left, go back and see her!"

"What about you, Daddy?"

Father Han smiled and said, "Dad is fine, just rest for a while, your mother thinks you're going crazy, go back and see her." ”

Han Cheng nodded, entrusted Han Zhong and the villagers to take care of Father Han, and turned around and entered the village by himself.

Since Han's father took his youngest son Han Zhong to the threshing floor at the head of the village to pay the grain, Han's mother was relieved, got out of bed, and it was inconvenient to walk, so she could only sit at the head of the door, staring at a narrow dirt road outside the door.

At this moment, it was noon, the sun was like fire, the four fields were silent, and the sun like a fire wheel was extremely hot, and the barren grass on both sides of the dirt road was about to catch fire.

The few wildflowers I saw occasionally were all curled up, without a trace of spirit, and there was no figure in sight on the originally very depressed dirt road.

In the silence, only the "knowing" in the wild grass made a few crisp chirps from time to time.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance on the quiet dirt road, coming from the thatched huts of the Korean family who were walking like flying from far and near.

Han's mother felt that the person who came was a little familiar, and rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was dizzy and had seen the wrong person, and when the figure arrived, she was sure that it was her eldest son Han Cheng, who had not returned for eight years.

"Son, you're back!"

Han's mother was excited with tears in her eyes, and she stood up and wanted to step forward to touch the child who had not returned after a long absence.

"Mother! the child is back, the child is not filial, and he can't serve him!"

Han Cheng knelt in front of Han's mother with a "plop".

Han's mother groped around with Han Cheng with trembling hands, and saw that her son was healthy and healthy, and she was a little relieved.

"Brother Cheng, have you suffered all these years as an errand on the Immortal Mountain, have those Taoist elders and stewards abused and bullied you?" asked Han Mu with concern.

Han Cheng didn't want to worry, and said against his will: "No, the child is doing well, and no one bullies the child." ”

"It's useless to be a mother, let you leave home at a young age, and go to the fairy mountain to call people at the moment. Han's mother was self-blaming and sad, and the old tears couldn't help but stay.

"Mother, don't say that, you're already doing your best to run this house. ”

Han Cheng saw that his mother's face was yellow and thin, and her sick body was weak, her nose was sore, and she said hoarsely: "Mother, how is your illness?

"How can a poor family have that spare money to see a doctor. Han's mother sighed and said: "I know my mother's illness, and my time is running out, and I can see Brother Cheng go home before I die, and my mother will die without regrets." ”

"What did my mother say, your life is long, the child will not let you die, the child will ask the best doctor to treat you, the mother must cheer up. Han Cheng said.

"Idiot!" Mother Han touched Han Cheng's resolute and delicate face, and sobbed: "It's a pity that your sister Ah Xiu left early and will never see this scene again." ”

"When will Sister Xiu'er leave?" Han Cheng was shocked when he heard that his sister was dead.

"It's been two years. Han's mother wiped her tears and sobbed non-stop.

"How did you go, and what happened?"

"Uh......h Woohoo......"

Seeing that Han's mother didn't speak, but just kept sobbing, Han Cheng said in his heart that there must be something hidden in it, and asked in a somewhat anxious tone: "What happened Mother, tell me quickly!"

"Brother Cheng, don't ask your mother, Dad will tell you. ”

At this moment, Father Han had already returned home with the support of Xiao Han Zhong, he bent his waist, sighed deeply, and his eyes gradually became foggy.

"When you left home and went in and out of Xianshan, the next year, there was a famine in the field, and the family couldn't eat, so my father and mother really had no choice, so they committed the young Ah Xiu to the Huang family as a maid, Ah Xiu was very sensible, and often brought some clothes and food home.

One day two years ago, Ah Xiu suddenly sent a letter to her family, in which she said that she had no face to live and asked her father and mother to take good care of herself in the future.

After reading the letter, my father had a premonition that something was wrong, and without saying a word, he immediately ran to Huangjiabao to ask Ah Xiu about the situation, but after arriving at Huangjiabao, he learned that Ah Xiu had jumped into the river and died a few days ago.

Dad was desperate at that time, and wanted to ask Huang Wanchun, the owner of Huangjiabao, for an explanation, but he was beaten out by his subordinates and went to the county government to complain, but the county magistrate ignored it.

Dad has no heaven and no earth, and there is no way to enter the ground, although he knows that Ah Xiu must be forced to death by the Huang family, but his father has no way to get justice for her.

Dad hates it so much, why did he commit her to Huangjiabao as a maid in the first place, if she doesn't go to the Huang family to be a maidservant, Ah Xiu won't die. ”

The more Han's father spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Huangjiabao Huang Wanchun, is it?" Han Cheng's hateful gaze had a hint of coldness in it, and his hands were clenched.

"Brother Cheng, what are you going to do? Huang Wanchun is not easy to mess with, don't be impulsive!"

Seeing Han Cheng like this, Father Han didn't know what he thought, and hurriedly persuaded: "The so-called people don't fight with officials, poverty doesn't fight with wealth, that Huang Wanchun is rich and powerful, and has a powerful martial arts, and his subordinates are also in charge of the No. 100 thugs in the rivers and lakes, with all the swords and guns, and they are very powerful in the vicinity for dozens of miles."

Dad knows that you have practiced, after all, you are a person, you are alone, don't think about seeking revenge, keep a useful body and live well, Dad is no longer Ah Xiu, I don't want to fold you in, you know?"

"Daddy, don't worry, the child knows how to measure. ”

Although he had already made up his mind to avenge Ah Xiu's sister, Han Cheng didn't want his father and mother to worry, so he didn't say his decision, but chose to hide it.

Han Cheng saw that the food at home had bottomed out, so he informed his father and mother, went out to the city to buy food, and inquired about the personnel, terrain, and layout of the house in Huangjiabao by the way.

Only by knowing each other and knowing oneself can one not be defeated in a hundred battles.

......

Thirty miles east of Sangmuzhuang, Zhouzhuang.

Zhou Kun, the owner of the village, nodded and stood behind a tall thin man wearing an iron bone fan and a blue brocade robe, and replied cautiously.

"This year is the first time that our Huoshan Gang has collected annual money in this area, and the quota is quite a lot!

Seeing that the owner of the Zhou Gang is loyal and a talent, the master of the Shi Gang entrusts you with all the things here, I wonder if the owner of the Zhou village can be sure?"

"Hall Master Liu, please rest assured, the little one will definitely find a way to collect all the money, and when the time comes, it will be handed over to the gang, and it will not disappoint the Shi Gang Master. ”

"That's good. Hey, as the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, if it weren't for the recent help of the house, the shortage of funds, and the helper didn't want to scrape the oil and water of those poor ghosts, this matter would have to be bothered by the owner of Zhouzhuang. ”

"It should be, it should be. Zhou Kun followed suit and cautiously replied.
