Chapter 6: The Collapse of Old Wounds (Part II)

In their eyes, the little beggar was no different from a dead dog, and a kind widow gave him a bowl of hot soup that kept him alive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The widow's surname is Wang, she is only twenty-two years old, she is quite beautiful, she has married a man who died twice, everyone rumors that she is a husband, and no man dares to marry her. From then on, he chopped wood and carried water for the widow of the king, and did some chores with great effort, and every time he finished his work, he could get a little food, although he still did not have enough to eat, but at least he would not starve to death, and he could sleep in the stove at night, and he was satisfied. He often saw some men in and out of the widow's courtyard, and every time the man left, the widow would go to the street to buy four taels of meat and come back to make noodles for him to eat.

One night he was sleeping in the stove room, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting from the widow's room, he hurriedly rushed to the house in tattered clothes, the scene frightened him for a long time and did not dare to speak, the widow Wang **** and a man entangled in the bed, the man was beating the widow Wang. The body was blue and purple, his face was also swollen, his hair was unkempt, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, and the man saw Luo Tianchu breaking in, and said viciously, "Get out!" Luo Tianchu has been with Widow Wang for half a year, although he has not talked much, but he has taken care of each other, and has given birth to a family relationship that is close to that of mother and son or sister and brother, although he is only eight years old, he has shown a righteous temperament, and said angrily on the spot: "Why did you beat her." Without saying a word, the man kicked him out of the door, and the widow cried out, "Don't beat him!"

Luo Tianchu almost fainted in pain, but he still crawled over and called the door with difficulty, and the cry of the widow Wang in pain came from inside the door, and Luo Tianchu also fainted in pain. It wasn't until the morning that the door opened, and the man in a brocade robe and jade belt, dressed well, walked out of the inner room, spat at Luo Tianchu, and sprinkled away. Luo Tianchu rushed into the room, and saw that the widow Wang was disheveled, her expression was haggard, the tears on her face were covered with scars, and a few copper coins were thrown on the bed. Luo Tianchu cried bitterly: "I won't eat it anymore! I won't eat it anymore!" he threw himself into the arms of the widow Wang, although he didn't understand the affairs of men and women, but he also understood how difficult it was to earn this silver. The widow also hugged him and wept bitterly, and kissed him gently on the forehead.

The next day, the widow said goodbye, and when Luo Tianchu woke up, he found ten taels of silver and the deed of the small courtyard on the stove. Luo Tianchu waited for the widow for three months, but still did not see her return, so he had to live alone. Although he had a place to stay, he was not happy and became alone again. He didn't understand why Widow Wang left him, and it wasn't until he grew up that he realized that Widow Wang was afraid that he would look down on him when he was sensible, and if he hadn't regarded him as a "younger brother", he wouldn't have paid so much attention to his feelings, and he wouldn't have left him the silver and the deed.

When he figured it out, he became even more uncomfortable, and asked people everywhere about the whereabouts of the king's widow, but no one knew. After a long time, everyone forgot about the widow Wang, and he stopped mentioning it, including Zhu Yushi, he didn't say anything about it, in order to protect the reputation of the widow Wang.

The next scene in the memories is when he was eleven years old, he was already a local "notorious" pickpocket, and was led by two second-rate people to meet Lin'an's "black boss", Su Sange. From then on, half of his "harvest" had to be handed over to Su Sange, but despite this, he was still happy, he could walk on the street with dignity, and no one dared to bully him anymore. During this period, he was caught by Zhu's father, who was a fast catcher, and when he got acquainted with Zhu Yu after taking him home, he didn't dare to retaliate against Zhu's father, but asked someone to relieve his anger when he beat Zhu Yu, but he couldn't bear to see that the fight was too bad, and he suffered a lot of punches and kicks for Zhu Yushi, Zhu Yushi was grateful for his kindness, and took him home to recuperate, and became a friend since then. He had never dared to tell Zhu Yushi the truth before, and he didn't tell the truth until some time ago, but fortunately, Zhu Yushi was not surprised, so he let go of the burden in his heart. "We are already brothers, and we can not mention anything in the past. ”

Half a year later, Zhu's father died early, the pillars of the Zhu family collapsed, Luo Tianchu helped the Zhu family's mother and son through the most difficult period, he took out all the twenty taels of silver he had accumulated to help the Zhu family, and Su Sange's treats and food were all brought back to share with the Zhu family's mother and son. Under his "wise" leadership, Zhu Yushi soon learned to steal chickens and dogs, and became Su Sange's subordinate. Two helpless children depend on each other and become friends who are closer than brothers.

They are all righteous people, and gradually dissatisfied with some of Su Sange's practices, although they steal, but there is also a way to steal, the elderly, the poor, children, prostitutes' money never touches, touching is to lose conscience, but Su Sange likes to find these weak people to start, not only steal but also rob, the two resolutely do not do it, they have the heart to break away from the gang, but it is easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the boat, since then they are often beaten, until they meet Zhong Yuanpeng...

Thinking of this, he returned to the chaotic dark world, where did this black river lead? Is it hell? Presumably, he has killed so many people in his life, even if he suffers endless suffering in hell. Then another drop fell, right on his lips, salty, not rain, tears, whose tears? Suddenly I heard a vague voice coming from the distant sky, and when I listened carefully, I realized that the voice was calling his name. "Luo Tianchu!Luo Tianchu!Luo Tianchu!" This is Ling Zhi'er's voice, where is she? Luo Tianchu tried to open his eyes wide, feeling that the voice was getting closer and clearer, as if calling in his ears. The dark firmament revealed a glimmer of light, and the light grew larger and larger, gradually piercing the darkness and chaos. The river below him was replaced by a sense of turbulence, as if lying on a moving hard board, only to see the tall treetops quickly pass in front of him, and a few white clouds like green smoke floating in the sky of Qinglan, and then he saw Ling Zhi'er, whose face was full of tears but full of surprise, and exclaimed: "He's not dead! He's still alive! Hurry up!" I heard Zhu Yushi excitedly shouting: "Xiao Luo, you have to hold on! We will take you to Master Huishan!" Luo Tianchu only felt dizzy, he couldn't open his eyes because of the strong light, and a strong tiredness struck, and he fell into a coma again and returned to chaos.

He didn't know how long he had been floating in the dark river, but when he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a clean wooden bed. )
