Autumn is the season when all things are harvested.
On weekdays, grandparents did not live with them, at least three streets apart. But during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family always got together, and to make the elderly happy, Yin Guihong's father specially hired someone to carry the sedan chair.
The two old men were taken to their homes. Guihong's uncle was still young and had just come to talk about marriage. He still lived with his parents and came to his house to celebrate the festival.
The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and their home is even more magnificently decorated. The Yin family is very powerful, but Guihong's parents do not need to live with the main family and only have a place to stay in a border town. They are just
He acted under the orders of his master and relied on those big shots to feed him. Those were all respectable characters, and the most powerful ones were candidates for the next city lord. Nowadays, the position of city lord is no longer hereditary. In order to strengthen the control of large areas, the imperial court
control, I don’t know how many times
When dynasties change, the city lords no longer have the idea that "son inherits the father's legacy." Instead, they rely on the superiors to send people down, and there are serious assessments of blood ties. I am afraid that it won't be long before the imperial court will split up all large cities, and even more
comprehensively implement provincial
Even so, being the lord of a city today can still accomplish a lot, and it is very honorable. My father said that by then, it will be easier for them living nearby to do things, and they can always get some money.
, life will be better.
Yin Guihong didn't know what his family did. He asked his brothers and sisters but couldn't explain it. They felt that Guihong was too young and didn't understand, so Guihong yelled that they must not know either. But
No matter what my parents do, they are never short of food. Gui Hong
I didn’t even pick up any of my brother’s clothes, they were all newly made for him. It shouldn’t be some secretive business. After all, my parents walk on the street on weekdays, and they look very good in both dress and temperament. Gui Hong’s
My brother and sister are about the same age, standing shoulder to shoulder, one is sixteen and the other is fifteen.
There is also a child, I don’t know whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister. They agreed that if it is a boy, let the older brother name it, and if it is a girl, let the older sister name it. Gui Hong is still not convinced, thinking that he has read a lot of books, how can he not let him name it?
Participate. But my mother is already in her forties, so this time she is completely
It was an unexpected surprise, and he would not be able to keep up with it in terms of financial resources or energy, and would not be born again. His father was very worried, but grandpa said that it was not a problem at all. His mother was pregnant with his uncle's baby earlier this year, and his grandma was pregnant with his uncle's baby.
They are the same age. Grandma is still healthy and my mother must be fine too.
Gui Hong has been very happy since he opened his eyes in the morning. He and his brothers and sisters went to play in the street for a day and bought a lot of snacks and toys. In the evening, they could eat mooncakes made by their grandma. They didn’t like to eat the ones made by their mother.
Mooncakes, the crust tastes bitter in her mouth, she keeps taking them
I can't make alkaline noodles well. Guihong loves to eat egg yolk stuffing the most. He had already greeted his grandma and she promised that he would make it. This is the second year that Guihong can get out of bed and walk. In the past, his health was very poor.
After standing for a while, my legs will tremble and I will lose my balance. On weekdays,
I often catch colds and go to the hospital every three days. The doctor said that this is a very complicated disease with many causes and it is difficult to treat. Although his brother and sister often complain in front of him, he also knows that they
I think my parents are working too hard. Some people question whether it was my parents who did it.
They made a bad living and suffered retribution. The younger brother and sister, who were still young, actually led the good brother to tear down the yard of the gossiper's house, causing trouble to anyone who spoke, so they shut up. Then
Shi Guihong knew that the whole family held their own in their hearts.
The family hired a teacher to teach him, and because he spent most of his time lying in bed, Guihong learned a lot. Two years ago, his parents fed him a medicinal soup, which contained unmelted white powder, which was like sand.
But his parents forced him to drink it, and no residue was left. As soon as he woke up, he could get out of bed and run all over the floor that day, jumping up and down, going to the house to lift tiles, and playing so restlessly that no one could catch him.
he.
It was getting late today and they returned home. The mud on the three people's faces was washed black by two basins of water. After cleaning up, including the child in the mother's belly, the family of nine gathered around the table to eat, chat, sing and admire the moon.
The joy will come to an abrupt end here.
They played until they were fast and then tidied up the house and prepared to rest. The guest room lacked a quilt, so my father went to another room to get it. When walking through the yard, he saw a few black figures standing on the wall of his house, and he felt a little worried for a moment.
Confused.
People with weapons swarmed over him, and his father was stabbed in the heart and died on the spot. The children who were still playing in the back room didn't know what happened. They didn't have to wait for their mother to come out to look for her, and the thieves came in. For a moment, the scene became chaotic.
The uncle only used the broom on the side to protect the two old people with handicapped legs. Naturally, they couldn't resist, and soon their heads fell to the ground. The three of them fell to the ground.
After screaming, the remaining people stumbled and fled. In order to buy them time, his brother threw a lot of broken things in the courtyard to block the road, and they caught them and killed them with one blow. Gui Hong only looked back for a moment, and saw
He felt blood splashing from his brother's throat. He felt as if his heartbeat had skipped a beat. His crossed legs felt numb and he suddenly fell. My sister pulled him over.
She pushed him forward with all her strength. She was hit by an arrow and fell forward. She was stepped on the ground by the thieves, and many people stepped on her. Mother, with her big belly, pulled each other with him to the backyard. Although
There were no manpower deployed here, and the thieves only came in from the front, but they both knew that there was no way out. The backyard door was already full of miscellaneous items because they were not frequently accessed.
There was no time to clean up all the things. At this moment, his mother suddenly reached out to him and pushed him into the well. He was so frightened that he choked several times after falling into the well, and then he firmly grabbed the well rope. The autumn water was cold.
It was bone-chilling, and the sound of splashing water was mixed with the mother's hoarse scream, which lasted for a while. His whole body froze in the well, as hard as frozen and as cold as frozen.
Autumn is the season when all things undergo death.
The thieves either didn't notice him, or thought he was destined to die, so they just kicked open every door to look for the remaining people who might be hiding. They didn't get nothing, at least they robbed many treasures, calligraphy and paintings, which were the favorite collections of parents.
They probably had all been robbed, but someone set a fire. Gui Hong raised his head and saw a red, round night sky.
He felt a wetness on his face, and it wasn't just well water. The liquid squeezed into the corners of his mouth was bitter, like the skin of his mother's mooncakes.
At this time, a burst of shadows suddenly fell in the bright sky. Gui Hong raised his head in fear, and did not dare to let go of the well rope in his hand. Those noisy carnival sounds should have moved away, why is there still someone there?
?The man was wearing a curtain and hat, and because of the light behind him, Gui Hong couldn't see his face clearly. But he had an impression of this man just now. When he turned around, he saw the man following the thief calmly.
He seemed to be the one giving them instructions.
And those people, without exception, all had their left breasts pressed down, like a bunch of desperate gangsters coming from hell.
He didn't seem to notice himself... he just glanced at it. Then someone called him, and he turned back and left. Yin Guihong just hid in the well, soaked in the water, and struggled for a while in the weird numbness.
At night. Until the next day, the rooster was still
Before he could even crow, a dozen townspeople who had heard the noise immediately came in groups to check. Seeing the mess on the ground, they all sighed. Yin Guihong faintly heard people talking one after another.
This is what they said:
"Oh my god, what a sin..."
"Could it be that the entire family was driven out and killed?"
"There's nothing left, it's all been taken away."
"Who have I offended so much that I have such deep hatred?"
"I told you earlier, this is retribution..."
The thieves may have left, but Yin Guihong couldn't care so much, and used his last strength to cry for help. Although the voice was weak, the leading hound heard the noise, rushed into the well in the backyard and started barking. Only then did people realize that,
There was another child hiding underneath. The strongest butcher pulled him up and showed him first
What caught his eyes was his mother's violently dead body. Yin Guihong was like a living fish out of the ice, and was immediately frozen into a stone. At that time, his mother's eyes were wide open, full of horror and unwillingness. Her belly was cruelly
After being cut open, the umbilical cord was connected to a formed mass of flesh and blood. At this moment, their hearts had already stopped beating.
"It's a girl." Lord Xueyue shook his head and sighed, "This should be your sister. Then she should be called Gui Que according to the name given by your sister. Your brother is called Guihe, and your sister is called Guihu. You brothers
Sisters, they are all named after birds, your father hopes
You spread your wings and fly high. Your mother was afraid that you would fly too far and lose your home, so she added the word "Gui" to your names, hoping that you would still miss coming back when you grow up. Unfortunately, there is no home to go back to now.
No one can go back anymore..."
"You fucking-"
As soon as Yin Guihong slapped the table, Lord Xuyue suddenly pointed the cigarette rod directly at his face, but he did not move. He put aside his previous frivolity and just responded coldly:
"Think about it carefully. The person you should be angry with is not me, the person who reminded you - but the person who caused all this."
"..."
Yin Guihong knew where his anger came from, but the feelings that had been suppressed for many years were a little unfamiliar. Once they showed their features, they burst out. He suppressed the anger and forced himself to take a few deep breaths to calm his congested mind.
Try to regain your composure.
"The old guy said... what my parents did offended others, they sent people from the Zuofenmen to kill us all. He didn't tell me who he was, he only told me that he was not allowed to think about revenge when he was alive, otherwise
, he stopped raising me. I knew I didn’t have the strength, so I agreed. Over the years, he taught me a lot..."
"What your adoptive father said is not accurate enough. I will tell you the truth in the future. You are lucky enough to have met an expert who retired from the world and learned a lot of skills."
