Chapter 7 The Pond Sinking Tragically
Kneeling on the ground, holding the dead grandmother in her arms tightly, a nameless fire suddenly rose in her heart, turned her head and glared angrily at Wu Lishan, who pushed down her grandmother, Wu Zheng, who had already been seriously injured by Wu Chun's kick in the chest, opened her mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood again, and all of it sprayed on Wu Lishan's trouser legs.
Wu Lishan, who was embarrassed and angry, immediately raised his leg to look at Wu Zheng's chest, and kicked it down again. I saw Wu Zheng's eyes turned white, and he fell to the ground with his grandmother in his arms, and he saw that he was dying with more breath and less breath, and he couldn't live.
"Tateyama!"
It's just that Wu Youren's shouting stopped a little late.
"Get a basin of cool water. ”
Wu Jixue's voice landed, Wu Chun turned around and walked out of the door, and soon came in with a basin of clear water, which splashed on the head of Wu Zheng, who had passed out in a coma.
Stimulated by the cold water, Wu Zheng, who slowly woke up, knew that it was impossible to escape death today. So he put his heart down and hugged his grandmother's corpse with the greatest strength, no matter what Wu Youren and the others asked, they didn't answer a word.
"Wu Zheng, don't you want to know how Wu Lipeng got lost four years ago?"
It was Wu Jixue's gloomy words again.
"Hmph, it's not that you hypocrisy brutes are plotting against my father. ”
Even if you knew, what could you do?
However, Wu Zheng still didn't hold back the anger in his chest, gritted his teeth and scolded.
"Little wild seed, you scold!"
Seeing that Wu Lishan was about to step forward and beat Wu Zheng again, Wu Jizong coughed lightly and stopped him. Wu Jizong had already heard from Wu Zheng's words just now, Wu Liying must have told Wu Zheng that Wu Jixue led people to plot against Wu Lipeng and Wu Liying four years ago, so he said again:
"If you tell us everything Wu Liying said today, we can consider giving you a whole corpse. And I can call the shots and bury you in the ancestral grave of the Wu family. ”
"The ancestral tomb of the Wu family? ”
Even if he knew that he would never have a chance to open the vermilion bamboo tube left by his father in the kang cave at home, Wu Zheng would not be able to tell them.
However, through Wu Lishan's sentence of "small wild seeds" just now, Wu Zheng still reminded Wu Zheng of what Wu Liying said, "There is a secret about your life experience in the bamboo tube". From this, it is not difficult to judge that he should really not be a descendant of the Wu family.
Seeing that Wu Zheng refused to speak again, Wu Youren discussed softly with Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue, and then said to Wu Chun, the head of the martial arts:
"Forget it, sink the pond. ”
Although this sentence clearly reached Wu Zheng's ears, in the face of the impending death, Wu Zheng did not have the slightest fear. Holding the dead grandmother in his arms, Wu Zheng wanted to struggle to stand up. didn't want Wu Lishan to be Wu Lishan again, after getting a gesture from Wu Youren, he suddenly came over and pulled Wu Zheng's grandmother's body out of Wu Zheng's arms.
Wu Zheng, who wanted to go on the road with his grandmother, saw that his last wish could not be realized, but he did not shout hysterically, but raised his head to look at the people in the house and said in an extremely flat tone:
"Even if you are a ghost, I will never let you go. ”
For no reason, everyone in the room felt that the words of the thirteen-year-old child in front of them did not seem to have reached their ears, but directly into their hearts.
Wu Chun, who was slightly stunned, walked over and kicked Wu Zheng in the chest again, and then Wu Zheng, who fell to the ground, was no longer silent.
"Dead?"
Wu Lishan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to probe Wu Zheng's mouth and nose, and said to Wu Youren:
"One more breath. ”
"Carry it out. ”
"Do you still use a sinking pond? It's better to save an iron cage. ”
Glared at by Wu Youren, Wu Lishan stopped talking, reached out and picked up Wu Zheng's thin body on the ground, and walked out behind Wu Chun.
"Third uncle, what is Wu Liying coming back for?"
Wu Jizong stroked the sparse beard under his chin, and thought silently for a while before saying:
"It's nothing more than two purposes, one is to take revenge, and the other is to report to Wu Zheng. ”
"Reporting, reporting what?"
Wu Liwei obviously didn't understand.
Wu Jixue took over and explained:
"After Wu Lipeng and Wu Liying fell into ecstasy fans, they didn't get caught right away. With the strength of many of us, although they were seriously injured, the two of them took advantage of the night to escape into the mountains and forests. At that time, it was feared that they would most likely not die immediately. Unexpectedly, Wu Liying survived, and his cultivation returned to his original appearance of six or seven percent. ”
"What about Wu Lipeng?"
Of course, everyone in the house is very concerned about this issue, and the reason why Wu Zheng is interrogated today is also to know Wu Lipeng's true whereabouts.
Judging from Wu Liying's sudden return, nine times out of ten, Wu Lipeng is dead. Otherwise, with Wu Lipeng's temper, even if he has a breath, he will definitely come back. ”
Although Wu Jizong didn't say what Wu Lipeng would do when he came back, everyone in the house could still imagine it.
Originally, Wu Lipeng was a jealous and hateful person, and if he was plotted by his clansmen, how could he give up.
In this regard, Wu Jixue, Wu Jizong, and Wu Youren, who know Wu Lipeng, are naturally very clear.
Speaking of this, Wu Jizong owed himself, pointed to the corpse of Wu Zheng's grandmother on the ground and said to Wu Liwei:
"Let's stop here, after a while, Liwei will lead someone to bury her in the ancestral grave, and outsiders just say that it was caused by an accidental fall. As for Wu Zheng, he said that because he lost the big green cow in the clan, he fled in fear of crime. ”
After listening to Wu Jizong's instructions, Wu Liwei stood up and bowed in agreement.
"Third grandfather, eldest grandfather, Uncle Youren, what should I do with that big green cow?"
"I can only secretly take it out and sell it. Thankfully, I didn't bring it back to the castle tonight. ”
After Wu Youren finished speaking, he left behind Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue.
Wu Liwei looked at the corpse of Wu Zheng's grandmother on the ground, and then went out to call someone.
Wu Lishan and Wu Chun carried the iron cage containing Wu Zheng who had only one breath left, and muttered as they walked towards the lower reaches of Nanxi outside the fort:
"This kid is also worth the money of an iron cage?"
"Shut up, it's a big deal to get the iron cage back after a while. In Water Snake Bay, are you worried about losing it?"
"It's really a lot of delay, throw this kid into the Water Snake Bay, not to mention that there is only one breath left, even if he jumps and throws it alive, can he still escape from the Shekou?"
Wu Chun, the head of the martial arts sect, is obviously not a person who likes to talk a lot, so he no longer pays attention to Wu Lishan, who is grunting, and just walks with his head down.
Out of the fort, along the South River downstream, all the way to the west, less than four miles is the water snake bay mentioned in the Wuli mountain pass.
It is so named because when the South Stream reaches there, it makes a big and wide turn, so that a natural pond is formed under the rock wall on the north bank of the river. Even the people of Wujiabao can't say what year and month it started, and countless water snakes suddenly appeared in that pond, and they were all poisonous snakes. Not to mention people, even chickens, dogs, geese and ducks will bypass Water Snake Bay.
And whenever the Wu family members in Wujiabao make unforgivable mistakes, such as women who are unchaste, such as abusing their parents and in-laws to their children to death, etc., after public discussion in the clan, as long as the majority of people agree and the patriarch agrees, they will be sunk in the pond. That is, put it in an iron cage and sink into the water snake bay to feed the snake.
When Wu Lishan and Wu Chun threw the iron cage containing the dying Wu Zheng into the Water Snake Bay, watched the iron cage sink into the water and disappeared, and returned to the fort, it was already past the hour.
The two who wanted to go home to sleep were called by Wu Liwei again, saying that they were helping to bury Wu Zheng's grandmother.
"Viagra, why don't you wait until dawn to get it?"
"Don't you know that people who die can't do funerals in broad daylight?"
Traditionally, the patriarch of the Wu family has always been the eldest son of the Changzhi branch, or the eldest grandson, so when Wu Youren is not present, Wu Liwei will perform the duties of the patriarch.
Pretending to be suddenly enlightened, Wu Lishan took an opportunity to come to Wu Liwei's side and asked quietly:
"Li viagra, what are you going to do with that house when it is empty?"
Of course, I know that Wu Lishan is the old house that covets Wu Zheng's family.
"Go and ask the patriarch, where do I know?"
"Li Viagra and I are still pretending, who doesn't know that Li Viagra can now be half a family now. ”
"Didn't you build a new house for your wedding?"
"It's built, but isn't it in a courtyard?"
"What, you still want to drive the fourth uncle and four aunts out to live?"
"It's not that I think, it's your fourth uncle and aunt who don't want to live with us. ”
"Let's get back to business first. ”
It seems that he heard a glimmer of hope from Wu Liwei's mouth, Wu Lishan is of course happy in his heart, and he is also very energetic in his work.
