Feng Chi was panting, this was his first time killing people, but he didn't feel scared.

The villagers ran around screaming, and the yard was on fire. This house may no longer be inhabitable.

Kong Xiangyu clutched his neck. Just now, he had the illusion of being pinched by a black shadow. For a moment, he seemed to see the faceless mask that frightened him again.This thing is like his nightmare, no matter where it is, it will haunt him endlessly.

Feng Chi carried Lu Qiaoshui, who was seriously ill, and then carried out Bai Rong, who was sprained, with his long arms.Seeing that Kong Xiangyu seemed to have recovered, he said, "Xiaoshan, take your mother and Xiaoshui to the cemetery, and leave it to me."

Kong Xiangyu's neck felt uncomfortable, and his speech was a little hoarse. "Uncle Feng, what are you going to do?"

Bai Rong had obviously never seen this kind of battle before, seeing the corpse with the official knife stuck on the ground, she was so pale that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Feng Chi looked at the corpse and said after a while of silence: "I'll talk about it later, I'll put out the fire first, otherwise the fire is too big and I'm afraid it will burn the mountain."

"it is good."

Kong Xiangyu carried Xiao Shui on his back, and fumbled to pick up his blind stick.

Bai Rong finally regained his strength at this moment. He grabbed Feng Chi's hand and cried, "Brother Feng, this time we are the ones who caused you misfortune... You killed someone, I'm afraid you will be beheaded..."

Feng Chi sneered suddenly, and wanted to wipe away Bai Rong's tears, but when he raised his finger, he found that it was covered with filthy blood, so he had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

"It's okay, I'll find a solution. You go to the cemetery to hide first, don't come out for now."

Bai Rong cried but refused to let go, Feng Chi had no choice but to fetch water and put out the fire first.

The fire was like a poisonous snake, burning the originally peaceful and peaceful house, leaving only a charred wreckage.Bai Rong sat slumped on the ground, her eyes were empty and lifeless, and in just one night, the world was turned upside down.

Feng Chi wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, the fire did not expand and did not reach the cemetery on the mountain.He kicked the dead body on the ground, and it was a little stiff after a night.Pulling out the official knife from the corpse, he picked up Bai Rong and took Kong Xiangyu to the cemetery together.

There is actually a dark room in the cemetery, just behind the building in the middle.In the early years, it was specially set up for the tomb guards to live in. Later, the tomb guards got married and moved out when the population became too large to live in.

Now the darkroom is surrounded by trees and shrubs, so it is not easy to find.Feng Chi cut off some to make it easier to walk, and after tidying up the dark room a bit, he settled the mother and child.

Feng Chi handed the official knife to Kong Xiangyu, and said, "Uncle Feng may not be able to protect you any longer. Murder is against the law. If they report to the police, I will die."

Kong Xiangyu groped and grabbed Feng Chi's hand, his eyes turned red.

"Uncle Feng, that person was the one who wanted to kill me first, and you killed me by mistake to save me. Let's go to the lawyers to overturn the case. They did it first! You are innocent!"

Feng Chi rubbed his head, and comforted him: "It's useless, let's not say that hiring a litigator is a lot of money. Everyone in the village has seen me kill people, and they can't argue with each other. There is nothing to argue about."

Bai Rong trembled her lips and said, "Brother Feng, I'm the one who's sorry for you...I'm sorry..."

Feng Chi was suddenly happy.

"I'm sorry, I promised Brother Lu to take care of you, and I will do what I say."

Kong Xiangyu clenched his fists, his eyes were red but he couldn't speak a word.

Feng Chi said: "I plan to join the army in advance, before they report to the officer. Only when I go to the military camp and make a name for myself can I have the resources to argue for myself." After a moment of pause, he said: "Only can I truly protect you!"

"..."

Feng Chi raised his hand to touch Xiaoshui who was still in a high fever, and advised Bai Rong: "Don't guard the tomb, get out of here, and find a place where no one knows you and settle down. I'll come pick you up after I'm out of trouble , from now on, no one can bully you half a point."

Bai Rong shook her head dejectedly. "I can't go, Xiaoshan's father is still here. Our ancestors have been here for generations..." She raised her head and looked at Feng Chi: "Even if I die, I will die here!"

Feng Chi sighed, withdrew his hand, and took out the last bit of silver from his bosom.Not much, probably only enough to eat for three or four days.

"You take the money, I'm afraid I won't need it when I go to the military camp in the future."

"No, we owe you enough, we must not take the money again." Bai Rong refused to accept it no matter what.

Feng Chi changed hands and put the money into Kong Xiangyu's hand. Seeing that Kong Xiangyu wanted to pay him back, he said, "Xiao Shui's illness is not cured yet, he must take medicine."

Kong Xiangyu didn't return the few pieces of silver while he was holding them.

Bai Rong said sharply: "Xiao Shan, return it to Uncle Feng, we can't take the money!" After saying that, she wanted to grab it.

Feng Chi took a deep breath, grabbed Bai Rong's hand and hugged it into his arms.In the past, he used to be called Bai Rong as his sister-in-law, but now he suddenly changed his address: "Bai Rong, you can take my money."

Bai Rong trembled her hands, her eyes were moist.

Feng Chi said: "Wait for me, I will definitely get ahead and come back to welcome you through the door. Xiaoshan Xiaoshui is your son, but I have always regarded them as my sons."

Bai Rong buried her head in Feng Chi's arms, and finally nodded after a long time.

Kong Xiangyu turned his head away, tightly clutching the money in his hand.He has never wanted to scold himself so much, he can't do anything in such a situation, he is as powerless as a waste.

Feng Chi took some dry food, returned to the burnt house, picked up the corpse on the ground, and left.

Kong Xiangyu tapped his blind stick and followed behind. Feng Chi stopped after walking for a while, sighed and turned back to him and said, "Go back, take good care of your mother and brother, and I will have to rely on you to support me when I'm not around." .”

"Uncle Feng—" Kong Xiangyu called out, his fingertips trembling slightly, and his lips parted and closed again.He didn't know whether he should call Feng Chi his father...

Feng Chidun stayed where he was, looking forward to him.

Kong Xiangyu tightly clenched the blind stick in his hand, but in the end he didn't say anything, only said: "You will definitely become a general!"

Feng Chi curled his lips into a chuckle: "Well, definitely." Then he waved at him, turned around and walked away neatly, leaving only a blurred and straight back.

After Feng Chi left, Kong Xiangyu was still worried that people in the village would come to make trouble, so he practiced Zhao Heng's previous moves for a long time every day with that official knife.

However, those villagers seemed to really regard him as the god of plague, but none of them came to the door, and they didn't know if Feng Chi had said something when he left.

Bai Rong's only loom that could make money also burned down. With no income and Feng Chi, all sources of livelihood were completely cut off. Fortunately, living in the mountains would not starve to death.

It's just that Xiao Shui's condition has been lukewarm, and he still can't cure it. After all, this medicine is not a panacea, so he can't take just one dose.Every day, my little face is flushed and I cough badly. If I continue, I'm afraid I will become tuberculosis.

His mother spent most of her day digging spring bamboo shoots on the mountain, and she wanted to dig more, and if she couldn't finish eating, she could sell them in the town for money, so as to make some money for the family.

Kong Xiangyu rubbed his eyes, feeling annoyed in his heart, these eyes really became his biggest obstacle at the moment.Born as a man, he can't do anything, and he has to make his mother work so hard every day.

Xiao Shui blushed, arched the quilt, slipped into Kong Xiangyu's arms and snuggled up, coughed for a while and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, I feel uncomfortable... my stomach hurts..."

Kong Xiangyu patted Xiao Shui on the back, but he couldn't help much.

He fumbled for the water bowl on the table and coaxed, "Hey, drink more water, you haven't drunk water for two days."

Xiao Shui hugged his neck, wrinkled his face, looked at the bowl of water and shook his head, "I don't want to drink, I don't want, I don't want..."

Kong Xiangyu dug out the last bit of sugar from the house, which was given to him by Feng Chi before he left.He dipped some sugar with his finger and put it near Xiao Shui's mouth, coaxing: "Hey, just take a sip, just one sip."

Xiao Shui pouted and licked the white sugar sticking to his lips. Seeing that Kong Xiangyu insisted, he had no choice but to take a sip from the bowl.However, before the cold water was drunk, Xiao Shui vomited uncomfortably. He couldn't drink water or rice for several days, and could only vomit some yellow watery things.

Kong Xiangyu hurriedly put down the water bowl to help Shunqi, who would have thought that Xiaoshui vomited more and more, and saw the yellow water turned red.A bloody smell hit him head-on, and it all spit out on him.

"Xiao Shui! How could this happen!"

Kong Xiangyu hurriedly picked up Xiao Shui, put the little money left by Feng Chi in his pocket, and went out.When he arrived in the cemetery, he called mother to the mountains and forests a few times, but seeing no response, Xiao Shui vomited badly again, so he had to rush to the town's medical center with his back on his back.

He went to the clinic at the last time familiarly, the clerk saw the blood all over his body, and said anxiously: "How did you make it like this?"

"Doctor! Help!"

There were not many patients in the shop, seeing that Kong Xiangyu was covered in blood, he hurried out of the way.The doctor who saw the doctor came out quickly, and lay the little water on his back on the ground.Looking at the nose, nose and heart, two fingers resting on the child's pulse, brows gradually furrowed.

Kong Xiangyu squatted aside and pulled his hair anxiously. He wanted to ask for several times, but he was afraid that he would hinder the doctor's treatment.

His face gradually turned pale, and Xiao Shui's appearance reminded him of his drowned elder brother.It was the same when the elder brother was fished out of the river, lying flat on the ground, powerless.

After a long time, the doctor sighed and shook his head, "It's too late, the child's internal organs are all damaged."

Kong Xiangyu stuffed all the money in his arms into the doctor's hand, and he knelt on the ground and held the doctor's hand tightly, begging. "Doctor, my younger brother is only six years old, please save him, please!"

He pressed his forehead to the ground, tapping again and again.

The doctor said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to save him, it's just that I can't save him with my medical skills. If you ask me to prescribe medicine now, at most it will relieve the child's pain, and it won't cure the root cause."

Kong Xiangyu arched his back and knelt on the ground, his forehead was extremely low, and his body trembled slightly.

Once upon a time, the doctors in Wenchang County shook their heads in the same way and said to him: "Your elder brother is gone, you can't save him..."

Mrs. Li cried and beat him, called him a loser, called him a murderer, and blamed him for taking Kong Bo to the river.

Kong Wuqing beat him half to death in a fit of anger, and his mother threw herself on him crying and was also beaten.Mrs. Li threatened to pay him with his life, but his mother disagreed, so she said she would pay with her life.

So at noon the next day, his mother threw herself into the river, but she survived and was rescued ashore with a cold.The mansion does not see a doctor, does not give soup and medicine, and even the food is reduced to a bowl of white rice porridge a day.

He was beaten so badly that he couldn't get up, and was locked in the room by his father and was not allowed to come out. It was only when he was able to get up that he found out that his mother was gone... said to have died of illness.

After that, he stopped talking and couldn't eat or drink for several days, so Mrs. Li personally brought him a bowl of sugar water.The water bowl was clear, and there was a piece of maltose in it. His elder brother always liked to mix sugar and water for him to drink like this when he was alive.

Without even thinking about it, he picked up the sugar water and wanted to drink it, but before the water bowl even touched his lips, Mrs. Li slapped him.

The sugar water fell to the ground, and the rim of the bowl hit the ground twice and shattered.

With tears in her eyes and her chest heaving violently, Mrs. Li scolded him: "Why didn't you die! You are a mourner, just like your mother, you came here to beat me!

Your mother came into my Confucian mansion with a big belly and got pregnant out of wedlock. She could do such a shameful thing.But he was born in a small family, so why fight with me!

I just gave birth to a son, and she rushed to give birth the next day.She is a concubine, and her food and clothing costs are better than that of me, a bright matchmaker. Everyone laughs that I am a concubine, and I am not good at begging you!

But why did you kill my Bo'er, he is the best to you! "

Kong Xiangyu watched Mrs. Li scolding with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything, he owed it, he was the one who killed him...

"Brother...Xiao Shui feels uncomfortable and wants to go home..."

Kong Xiangyu picked up Xiaoshui on the ground with red eyes, but he still spent his money on painkillers.

The doctor saw that Kong Xiangyu's face was ashes on the ground, so he said: "I know there is a genius doctor in the next town, you might as well go there and try it, but the doctor's consultation fee is not cheap, and usually only treats the rich..."

"...Thank you doctor..." He really ran out of money.Kong Xiangyu powerlessly interrupted the doctor's words, and carried Lu Qiaoshui on his back, tapping his blind stick all the way home...
