One touch and one silence

Erniu opened the door and saw that it was Boss Wei, and he smiled innocently.

"Brother Wei, is there something you want to talk to me about late at night?"

Boss Wei didn't dare to look up. He lowered his head and explained his purpose to Erniu.

"Erniu, can I borrow a hundred copper coins from you?"

"Don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Boss Wei quickly assured.

Erniu couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Wei, wait!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back. After a while, he took out a hundred coins and handed them to Boss Wei.

He could see that Brother Wei was in trouble, but since he didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask.

Because Erniu knew very well about the mess that happened in the Wei family.

Boss Wei's eyes were wet with sorrow. He looked at Erniu gratefully. His lips trembled for a long time before he choked up and said two words, "Thank you!"

After he said that, he turned around and went back to the Wei family. At this time, his parents had already put his little sister into the torn mat.

Boss Wei looked at his parents deeply.

I was extremely disappointed.

He walked forward without saying a word, picked up his second sister from the ground, walked out of the Wei family, and walked towards the mountains with difficulty.

There were footprints left along the way, tears dripped on the ground, confused the night, and disappeared.

He found a place to put his sister down and went to the city to buy a coffin, but when he looked at the dark forest and the faint howling of wolves, his heart suddenly tightened.

If I leave my second sister here, she might be eaten by wolves.

Thinking about my sister dying and then being eaten by wolves made me feel even more sad.

He threw the mat on the ground and carried his second sister on his shoulders.

Walking towards the town more than ten miles away.

In fact, the little sister was not heavy, but his feet felt very heavy.

Every step I take feels like it weighs a thousand pounds.

Thinking about his parents' heartlessness, the younger brother did not show the slightest sadness. For a moment he felt that the road ahead was uncertain and he did not know where to go!

If they treat my second sister like this, how much will they treat me?

Yes!

In the past, all their thoughts were on the younger brother, including him, the eldest sister, and the second sister.

Now he suddenly woke up and found it ridiculous.

He walked step by step, not knowing how long he had been walking, before he finally saw a faint light rising in the sky.

It was a cold winter day, but he was sweating all over.

When he reached the city gate, he was stopped by the gate guards.

Boss Wei explained to the gatekeepers that he was here to buy a coffin.

The gatekeeper asked Boss Wei a lot of questions and checked his household registration before letting the person in.

I couldn't help but feel pity for this man.

There were people who originally kept their distance from him, some who were not afraid of death and came to watch the fun. After hearing what Boss Wei said, they saw that his feet were all worn out, which was particularly eye-catching in the winter.

Some kind-hearted people gave Boss Wei some copper coins, Acropolis.

Weicheng looked at these people stuffing copper coins into his arms and their distressed eyes.

He couldn't hold back and started crying on the spot.

Weicheng carefully placed his sister on the ground and kowtowed to the kind people around him to express his gratitude.

Some people disliked the bad luck and stayed away from it, but the copper coins were still at the foot of the Acropolis.

Weicheng did not feel embarrassed, on the contrary he was really grateful.

With this money, he can buy Erya a set of clothes, so that Erya can at least leave in a decent manner.

Weicheng picked up the copper coin on the ground. A grown man burst into tears.

"A sin!"

"How can you be so depressed at such a young age?"

After picking up the money donated by kind-hearted people and listening to the regrets of passers-by, Weicheng carried his sister on his back again and turned to walk towards the coffin shop.

There were all kinds of things in the coffin shop. The owner of the coffin shop looked at poor Weicheng and did not make any money from him. He even gave a set of shrouds to his sister.

He also asked the strong men in the shop to help Weicheng carry the coffin to the mountain.

Sometimes I have to say that there are still a lot of good people.

As long as you open your eyes, you will find that not all people are so cold and heartless.

At least today, from the time he entered the city gate until now, he had no idea how many people had helped him along the way.

Weicheng kept it in mind secretly.

When leaving the city, Acropolis took a look and saw the notice of conscription at the city gate.

Weicheng then had an idea in his mind.

He didn't want to go back to that home. The indifference of his parents, the ruthlessness of his brother, the death of his second sister, the sadness and pain lingered in his heart and would not go away for a long time.

He planned to bury his second sister, go visit his eldest sister, and then sign up.

Thanks to the few words that my younger brother taught them when they were young.

The names of these three people were changed by me later.

It was obvious how sincere and lovely the younger brother was at that time, and how respectful and polite he was to his brothers and sisters.

When did I start to change?

Along the way, three strong men helped Acropolis carry the coffin on the carriage to the nearest mountain.

He also thoughtfully helped Weicheng dig a pit and helped Weicheng bury his sister.

Weicheng was truly grateful, and he kept a hundred copper coins that the people at the door gave him as a reward, and gave the rest to the few of them.

These people only knew the situation of this man, so they took a little bit and pushed the rest back.

After these people left, Weicheng knelt in front of Erya's grave for a long time and said a lot of things. It was almost noon before Weicheng left the mountain.

When he reached the city gate, he saw many people signing up, so he walked up and took a look.

"Sir, if I sign up, will I go with you?"

The man looked at the Acropolis. Although he did not see what happened in the morning, he heard about it.

He saw the man when he left.

The official was much more friendly to him. "Originally, you have three days to say goodbye to your family, but it's up to you. Each person will receive a subsidy of ten taels of silver."

When Weicheng heard this, he laughed easily.

"Thank you, sir!" With these ten taels of silver, I can give them to my eldest sister.

After saying this, Weicheng walked to the registration area and registered his name.

Holding a ten-liang silver ingot in his hand, which was the largest silver he had ever seen, he left after listening to the man say where and when to gather.

Following his memory, he walked to the gate of a mansion and looked at the two big words "Xu Mansion" above his head. He pulled his clothes a little awkwardly, brushed off the dirt on his body, and greeted the gatekeeper with a smile on his face.

"Hello, little brother. I'm Wei Qiaohe's brother. Could you please help me inform her and tell her that her brother is here to see her?"

After saying this, he gave the gatekeeper five copper coins in a flattering manner.

Who knew that the man took one look at it and threw it on the ground in disgust.

"Go away! How can someone like you come here? Aunt Wei died two years ago!"

"I have seen many poor people like you coming to the mansion to beg for money all day long!"

Weicheng stood there in a daze for a moment.

"What are you talking about, young man? My sister is so young, how could she die? Don't joke with me!" Weicheng said flatteringly.

The gatekeeper had a scornful smile on his face and looked at the Acropolis as if it were a clown.

"The Wei Qiaohe you're talking about is our great master's aunt, and her brother is a bottomless pit. He always shamelessly comes to her to ask for money. Who would have thought that she would be so bold as to steal our great master's treasures, and was caught on the spot."
