Uncle Xi closed his eyes, and two tears escaped from the corners of his eyes, "However, how do you let me face that child, and if I tell the truth truthfully, how can he continue to live here without worry." ” Yu Can'er helped him up, "Actually, I came here to take Xi Cheng away, this is also Leng Yu's last wish, she didn't know my existence at the time, so she entrusted the child to you, and now, it's time for Xi Cheng to return to the clan, I will take him to the South China Sea, where is our homeland, I believe he will get permanent freedom there."
This freedom is exactly what Leng Yu couldn't ask for in the last moments of his life. ” Uncle Xi's long-dim eyes finally had a light, but then they dimmed again, "You take him away, it's the best choice for him, it's just that we two will never see each other again?"
” Yu Can'er didn't speak, but his silence was already the most obvious answer.
Xi Bo lowered his head and slapped his thigh fiercely, "Go, he must go, leave here, he can live, he can live well." ” Coming out of Leng's house, a few people found that the sky had already darkened, Liu Xujiao looked at the village shrouded in twilight, and felt that it seemed to be different from the quiet and harmonious small village in his heart, the shadows of the trees swayed in the moonlight, like a strange big hand, holding the entire village in his palm.
He stepped on the muddy path under his feet, thinking about Leng Yu ten years ago, if she suddenly discovered overnight that those once friendly faces were first afraid of her, and then they turned out to be a little hideous, revealing a dignified killing intent.
She must have been confused at first, not knowing what she had done wrong?
Later, those absurd rumors came into her ears bit by bit, and she didn't take them to heart.
Until one day, she found that everyone believed the rumor, Lao Yantouer, Bai Yong, and the mother-in-law of the Liu family would stand still when they met her on the road, and then scolded her fiercely, scolding some swear words that she had never heard in her life, she didn't fight back, and she didn't know how to fight back, her heart was shocked, and after the shock was a deep numbness, and finally the numbness cracked and turned into a deep despair.
She didn't understand why these people who had watched her grow up since she was a child, and who were so grateful to her a few months ago, would change their faces because of a trumped-up rumor, and they all wanted to put her to death.
So Yu Can'er is not wrong, Uncle Xi can't die, he is here, Xi Cheng will have a glimmer of hope for humanity, and he will not be like his mother, who extinguished the last light in his heart and begged for death.
When they arrived at the door, Uncle Xi glanced back at them, "You wait here for a while, I want to tell Xiaocheng about what happened ten years ago." ” Several people nodded in agreement, standing still by the door, Yu Can'er hugged the bone altar, looked into the door, and the eyes were full of anticipation and sorrow, flashing with a strange light.
But it didn't take long for Uncle Xi to suddenly rush out of the courtyard, "Xiaocheng, Xiaocheng is not at home."
His tone was chaotic and urgent, and he looked overly frightened.
"Will you go out and have not come back yet?"
Liu Xuzhu and the others hurriedly walked into the courtyard and saw that the house was messy, and the chairs and tables were piled up on the ground, so they knew why Uncle Xi was anxious like this.
"Where will he go?
Is there a burglar in the house?
Xi Bo rubbed his hands and muttered to himself.
"I'm afraid it's really thieves, or the same gang of thieves as they were ten years ago."
Kong Zhou hoarsely voiced, pointing in the direction of the distant bridge, where the red light of torches was faintly visible, and there were boiling human voices, as if the crowd was shouting against something.
Xi Bo was the first to react, he pushed away Yu Can'er behind him, raised his legs and ran towards the far bridge, and several other people didn't dare to stop, and followed him towards the firelight.
A large group of people from Wuyang and Wuyang gathered on the Laiyuan Bridge, and the whole village was gathered here, including the elderly and children.
Xi Cheng stood in the middle of the crowd, his face full of panic, he was tied with hemp rope, he couldn't move at all, his clothes were torn, and on his bare arm, an oval birthmark was shining blue by a torch.
"Xiaocheng, Xiaocheng, why are you tying him up?
Let him go.
Xi Bo struggled to plunge into the crowd, but he was pushed by someone, and one fell to the ground.
Liu Xujiao helped him up, pulled him behind him, looked at the pair of crazy eyes in front of him vigilantly, and whispered, "I'm afraid they already know Xi Cheng's background." ” What he said was right, the crowd suddenly split into two halves, leaving a road, Bai Yong walked out along that road, the muscles on his face "poof" beating, "Uncle Xi, you hide from us so hard, in vain I still respect you so much, I ask you for advice on everything, and now I know that I was blindfolded by lard, and I didn't find that you have a thief by your side." ” "You let the child go first, and we'll talk about it if there's something."
Uncle Xi's heart was tied to Xi Cheng, and he didn't understand what Bai Yong was saying for a while.
Bai Yong sneered, clapped his hands in the crowd, and after a while, Erniuzi's mother slowly moved out, she looked at Uncle Xi, and then at Bai Yong, blinked and smashed her mouth for a long time, but she didn't say a word.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, you are doing this to eliminate harm for the people, just tell me everything that Er Niuzi told you today."
The woman nodded, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands, "Today, Er Niuzi and Xi Cheng went to the Yuhe River to play with water, and they were bumped into by her again, she wanted to harm my child, but when she saw that Xi Cheng wanted to save him, she let go."
Er Niuzi also said that Xi Cheng had a birthmark on his arm, like scales, and I thought about it, isn't this the same as her birthmark, so I felt that this matter was strange, and quickly found Brother Bai. ” Hearing this, Xi Bofang suddenly realized that his legs were weak and he fell to the ground again.
Kong Zhou laughed a few times, stepped forward and looked at the woman, "I can understand it, Xi Cheng saved your son's life, but you are a good mother, you will sue people when you come back, your tradition of repaying virtue with grievances is really passed down from generation to generation, and it continues." ” When the woman saw his heroism, her face turned white with fright, and she re-entered the crowd without saying a word, blocking herself tightly with the bodies of the men in front of her.
Bai Yong was not as timid as her, he raised his head and looked directly at Kong Zhou, his dark eyes were already full of fierce light, "This strong man, listen to your meaning, the details of this village have been clearly felt by you."
Then tell me, who will pay for the two lives of my Bai family," he pointed to Xi Cheng in the middle of the crowd, "Only by killing this little rabbit cub can I relieve the hatred in my heart." ”
