Chapter 3: When the Wolf and the Good Wife Died
I can't beat a wild cat. I just want to use a short stick to strengthen my courage. The wild beast is really here. I'm still dead? When I came, your daughter was frozen like ice and didn't even cry. If I hadn't warmed her, could she still lie there? If I hadn't come, could you ask me here? Now that you are awake, come and ask me what I'm here? You and I have never had blood relatives, but they live in the same village, and it would be fine if they can live on each other's face, but they can't move a lot for more than ten years.
Back, why should I come? I have sacrificed my life for you, an irrelevant person!" When Tian heard this, tears fell. While he was sad about Jiang Ye's death, he was sad about the death of the old woman, while feeling grateful to the old man's kindness, while regretting his own faults, he quickly tried his best to utter a few words: "Uncle, niece-in-law is confused, don't blame me." The old man turned anger into joy and said, "The niece-in-law is so lying down. Just think I am your biological father, and your biological father serves his biological daughter. There is no shame or shame." As he spoke, Tian was already unconscious.
The old man found a clean rag, went to the kitchen to fill half a basin of boiling water, mixed with cold water, first wiped the baby's body three times, wiped the blood stains dry, and replaced it with fresh water, wiped Tian's body clean, washed the dirty cloth under Tian's body, and wiped the couch again. After a long time, the baby gradually turned around and cried endlessly. Tian opened his eyes slightly, but could not move. Seeing that Tian was a little awake, the old man asked, "Is there any rice in my niece's house? I'm going to cook it? The child was frozen and hungry all night, and it should be eaten, and you have to eat too." Tian couldn't speak, so he shook his head slightly. Seeing this, the old man said, "Nephew, please lie down, I'll go and come." After that, he turned around and closed the door and left.
When the old man returned home, he saw only a bowl of raw rice left on the stove, so he hurriedly brought a small plate, grabbed a small handful of rice and put it in it, turned around and walked. When he reached the gate of the yard, he thought for a while, turned around and returned to the room, grabbed a large handful of rice into the small plate, filled it, carefully picked up the plate and ran north. When he reached the intersection, he saw the old woman's body, and felt heartbroken. He sighed, turned around the old woman's body for a few turns, frowned and gritted his teeth and thought for a while, and turned back. When he arrived at home, he saw that there was still half a bowl of raw rice left on the stove, so he simply put down the small plate, picked up half a bowl of rice and left, and walked straight to the Jiang family. The old man went into the kitchen, finished brushing the pot, put water, filled the fire, and poured half a bowl of rice into the pot.
At this time, Tian fell asleep again, and the baby stopped crying. When the rice was ready, he put it out in a small basin, cleaned the chopsticks, and sent it to Tian's pillow, and said softly: "Niece-in-law, eat some at least." Tian smelled the fragrance, put his mouth close to the basin, swallowed a large piece of rice in one bite, and then took a few bites, and then ate it a few bites. The old man was afraid that she was choking, and repeatedly advised her to slow down, so he persuaded her to have a few words, and the rice was eaten up. The old man collected the chopsticks and washed them, and walked out to face Tian and said: "Niece-in-law, you can have a good rest, I will come to see you again next day. There is a straw mat behind your house. I will take it to collect my nephew's body. When the burial is over, I will tell you." Tian said softly, "Thank you, my uncle" and then fell asleep.
The old man came to the intersection with a straw mat and stopped and thought, "It's harder for me to transport this body alone. If there is a cart, it's cheaper." Suddenly, he thought of a small wooden cart at the intersection of the east village road. I don't know which house threw it down, so he ran east. When he arrived at the intersection, he didn't see the wooden cart. He laughed at himself: "You are so confused that you remember the wrong place. A few days ago, you pushed this car into the big water puddle at your doorstep. Why have you forgotten it now? These years are not as good as before, and you have become more and more confused."
The old man walked outside his yard wall and suddenly heard someone inside. One said, "This broken village has no ghost. The county magistrate asked us to collect taxes. Damn it! Who did I collect it from? That old killer, brothers can't collect taxes, and when they go back, they will be scolded by him." Another said, "It's better to scold. A few days ago, a brother was beaten by him because he was late for the work. Later, he asked, "Whether should I beat him?" The brother wouldn't complain.
He pulled his ears and slammed his breath, and he was deaf. "A dog thief relied on his backing to treat us minor officials as a human being! He treated us like a master and a slave. When he met a high-ranking official to supervise him, he became a slave himself!" The old man dared not go in and wanted to retreat and escape, because he was cold and cold last night. This morning, he was so busy with Tian's body that he was sweating and he fought with cold and heat. Now when the wind blows, his body shivered and he keeps coughing.
Several officials in the courtyard heard the sound and ran out to see that it was an old man. One asked, "Are you from this village?" The old man replied, "Yes." Another said, "This year's weaving tax, spinning tax, silkworm raising tax, land cold-proof tax, elderly anti-freeze tax, mother's fetal security tax, child injury tax, husband and wife's child tax, widow's remarriage tax, widow's wife's tax, wild animal mating tax, ox mating tax, farming equipment repair tax, land production tax, population evasion tax, household registration change tax, natural disaster prevention tax, thieves pay tax..." Before the official finished speaking,
He had been shot into the throat by a spider arrow, and immediately fell down. With a loud "bang", he smashed his head heavily on the ground. The official lay down and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, stretched out his hand, opened his mouth, and turned his eyes upward, and died immediately. When everyone looked behind the room, they saw an eight-foot man with white cloth on his head, holding a big knife in his hand, and carrying a quiver on his back. The man's voice was like a huge thunder, and he spat hard at the official's corpse, kicked, and shouted: "Tax your mother!" The other officials saw that the situation was not good,
Turning around and trying to escape, the man had already raised his sword and killed two of them head-on. The rest were killed by the subordinates of the Han Dynasty. The old man thought the man was a hero, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to thank him. The man sneered: "Do you have food in your family? Take it out for me!" The old man said; "Since I paid the official tax a few days ago, even the farming tools were paid, where can I have food and rice?" The big man said: "Don't you let your mother go! Without food and rice, how can you live to this day? Can you eat shit?" The old man said: "Please be kind to the hero, give the villain a life, and the villain holds a ring and carves grass to repay you with great kindness." Hearing this, the big man turned around and turned around
He said to everyone: "Did you hear me? What's this old guy saying about his 'knot ring'? I'm flattering with me! Who can you solve it?" One man stroked his palm and said loudly: "Knot ring should be a chew on the donkey!" Another man said: "Knot ring is a sulfur ring!" Another man said: "What is a sulfur ring? It is a jade ring! I guess that old guy fell in love with my elder brother!" It made the men laugh. The big man laughed and scolded: "Turn your mother's shame!" After saying that, he jumped off his horse and lifted the old man up like a straw.
If you want to know what happens next, let’s wait for the next breakdown.
