Chapter 248: Heaven and Man Separated Forever
Now that the matter is over, Xiao Bo left with those three fingers, and the rest of the gangsters did not dare to stay for a long time, and left this place one after another.
Soon, only the three people who were lying on the ground were left. The stars are sparse and the moon is dark, except for the cold wind, there is no movement.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a groan, which shattered the silence of the place, it turned out that the three people were not dead, only because of the serious injuries, so they had only recovered a little until now.
Barely holding himself up, Li Delong easily allowed himself to stand up, he wiped the corner of his bloodstained mouth, and scolded in a low voice: "These bastards, I didn't expect to collude together? In this case, could it be that our house is really going to be taken away?"
It was easy to walk to the side and come alone, Li Delong pushed and asked, "Brother, wake up, don't continue to lie here." Otherwise, we're afraid we'll freeze to death here. β
Although the cold winter is in the past, but now it is only early spring, and it is still cold at night, if you stay too long, you are afraid that you will freeze your body, not to mention that the two of them are seriously injured, if you don't find a place to rest, it will be bad.
"Okay. Are you sure they're far away, though?"
Hearing Li Delong's voice, Li Desheng turned over, and his eyes dimmed a lot.
Li Delong complained: "That's right. At least half an hour had passed since they left, and it was impossible to return. β
In order to avoid being noticed by those bastards, the two of them lay on the ground and pretended to be dead before, and they didn't dare to get up until they didn't hear the movement.
"It's just that I hate that the urban management bureau is too bad, and it forcibly occupied our house without verifying anything, what is the reason?" After sitting down, Li Desheng thought of what happened before, his face immediately turned hideous, and he scolded.
They were originally residents of Xiangyang, and they chose to avoid trouble and go to Lin'an because of the repeated invasions of the Tartars, and later chose to return to Xiangyang because they heard that Xiangyang had settled down.
Only this time, they didn't seem to be as lucky as last time, and they didn't know what happened, and their house was judged to be borderless land and forcibly occupied.
In order to fight for their own property, the three of them stepped forward to reason with each other, but they were beaten severely, which caused the scene that Zheng Shipang saw earlier.
"Huh. So what? To put it bluntly, we are just ordinary people, and it would be good to be lucky enough to survive, and we still want to get back our ancestral house?" Li Delong said helplessly.
In the past, the two of them were beaten violently for a while, and they were also young and strong, so they could persevere, if they were a different person, they were afraid that they would be beaten to death.
"Alas. Let's take a look at Daddy's situation first. I haven't heard my father's movement until now, isn't there a problem?"
After a little rest, the two of them easily regained a little strength, and then supported themselves and walked towards the middle-aged man lying on the ground in the distance.
In addition to the two of them, there is also their father.
Now that he has not seen his father's movement, Li Desheng is worried about his safety.
"Father. Wake up, don't go back to sleep. β
Li Delong squatted down, pushed the middle-aged man, and hurriedly urged, but no matter how he asked, the person in front of him never responded, which made Li Delong feel a trace of worry in his heart, and immediately turned his father over, and then pressed his hand to his heart.
Li Desheng saw Li Delong's body stiff, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my father?"
"Father, he! he-"
If you want to stop talking, Li Desheng is even more anxious.
"Father, what the hell is wrong with him?"
"He died. β
A bland sentence extinguished hope, and the two fell silent in an instant, leaving only complete silence.
"Damn bastards, I'm going to kill them. β
With a roar, Li Desheng opened his mouth and scolded, and turned around, as if he wanted to chase and kill those bastards.
Li Delong grabbed Li Desheng with one hand, and his face was full of pain: "Destroy them?
"But that's all about my father's hatred?" Li Desheng couldn't accept it and continued to scold.
Li Delong replied: "Otherwise, you also heard it, then Zheng Shipang, as the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, is indifferent to seeing us being treated like this, how can he pay attention to our grievances?"
Earlier, he also heard Zheng Shipang appear, and thought that he had met some Qing official, but after Zheng Shipang was persuaded by Xiao Bo, he actually stopped fighting and left directly from here, and because of this incident, he didn't have much affection for Huaxia Army.
"I know. But I'm not reconciled! I just want to get our property back, why should we be bullied like this? Even my father is gone. β
Li Desheng was still cursing, his voice echoing through the streets, drowning in darkness, and there was no wave.
Li Delong said helplessly: "I understand. But now is not the time to think about this. Don't forget, we don't even have a house now. If you want to continue to live, I'm afraid it's hard. β
"What then?"
Li Desheng was gloomy for a while, even though he was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that the most important thing at the moment was to live, and with the two of them, he would not be able to complete revenge at all.
"Let's go to Tangdian Village. Anyway, our dad also came out of Tangdian Village at the beginning, if he took refuge in them, he should accept it. Li Desheng replied.
"Tangdian Village?" asked Li Delong, "Is this where my father used to live?"
In his memory, he had heard his father talk about this place, but because the two of them had always lived in Lin'an, they had never been to that place, and now it felt extremely strange after hearing it.
Li Desheng closed his head and replied, "That's right. Anyway, my father used to be a member of the village, and someone would always recognize him, wouldn't they?"
"Okay!"
Although I was helpless and wanted to refuse, this is the only way at the moment.
Li Desheng could only pick up his father's body with Li Delong with full of resentment, and the two supported each other and walked towards Tangdian Village.
It's their hometown, and if they were there, they would have someone to help.
In this way, they walked for about half a night, and after the sunset rose in the distance, the two walked in front of the entrance of Tangdian Village.
At this moment, the villagers also woke up from their sleep, and were about to go to the farmland to start working, when they immediately noticed the figures of the two people, so they came forward and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"
Because of the previous Li Xun incident, the people in the village were quite wary of outsiders, for fear that the other party was a spy sent by Lu Liang.
Li Desheng replied: "We are Li Desheng and Li Delong, because of my father's last wishes, so I specially brought his body back to my hometown and wanted to bury it in the village. I wonder if you can let me wait to enter the village?"
It has always been a Chinese habit to relocate to the land, and during this period, it is also very common for the elderly to return to their homeland.
It's just that the man looked at the two of them left and right, and asked, "Li Desheng and Li Delong, who is your father?" They were not familiar with the two, so they naturally wanted to trace back to the source and ask each other's origins.
"My father is Li Xun, and we were born when my father settled in Lin'an, and he never came back because of his studies. Now that I've heard about the war, I'm back here. Li Desheng said the words that had been prepared for a long time.
"Li Xun, isn't it the village chief's younger brother, the Li Xun who used to be a talent in high school?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, obviously they were no strangers to this Li Xun.
Li Desheng hurriedly closed his head and complained: "That's right. When my father showed off his talent in high school, he went to Lin'an to take the exam, and I was born after that. The two of them are quite clear about their father's deeds, and Li Xun was also received by the then Xiangyang prefect because of his high school champion, and the house in their mouth was also given because of his father's talent.
Later, because Xiangyang was invaded by the Mongols, of course, this was also 20 years ago, so Li Xun moved from Xiangyang, and their house has been vacant.
It was only later that because of the turbulent situation in Lin'an, in order to avoid being involved, Li Xun made up his mind and returned to Xiangyang with his two children, intending to settle down here.
Who would have thought that this time would come, but heaven and man would be separated forever.
Hearing that Li Xun's son had returned, the people in the village were shocked, and hurriedly connected the two into the village together, and told the village chief Li Lao about it.
"You two, are you Li Xun's son?"
With the support of Li Chen and Li Xing, Li Lao came to the corpse, probably because he was too scared, his body was still trembling.
"Yes," he said. My father once told us about you, uncle, but he was so busy with his business that he didn't have a chance to come back. β
"Is that so?"
Elder Li was a little gloomy, and asked again: "Then, where is he now?"
"Father, he-"
The two of them fell silent for a moment, then let go of their bodies, let out the coffin containing their father's corpse, and complained: "Father, because he wanted to take back the ancestral house, he was given by the Urban Construction Bureauβgivingβ"
The voice was full of grievances, and it turned out to be a cry of "wow".
Li Lao was stunned for a while, and whispered: "Dead, dead?" The ground in front of him was dark, and he fainted directly, but fortunately he was supported by Li Chen behind him, so he didn't fall to the ground.
It's easy to wake up, Li Lao supported Li Xun on the bed, and howled while telling his past deeds.
From his staccato words, everyone also understood a little bit about what had happened.
It turned out that when the two were young, because Li Xun had always been obsessed with learning, and Li Lao was confined to the problem of qualifications, he never made progress, so the people in the clan decided to invest all their resources in Li Xun, so that he could be successfully admitted to the name of Xiucai.
After being admitted to Xiucai, Li Xun did not disappoint everyone, and also made the village much more brilliant.
It was only later that because of the war, the two had a conflict, Li Xun moved directly to Lin'an, and Li Lao was also forced to shoulder the responsibility of the village head, and the two families cut off contact, and only now have contact again.
However, now, one is already gray-haired, and the other is in the underworld, which is really embarrassing, even if you want to complain, there is no chance.
