A knife in love

Chapter 1813

Li Qiufeng listened to Liu Sheng Zongyan's narration of the past, when he said that someone rescued him from the sea, he had a faint guess in his heart who that person was.Qi Jiu, Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu didn't know Liu Shengzongyan's origin, and after listening to him, they naturally didn't know who that person was, and they were all a little surprised.

I only heard Liu Sheng Zongyan continue to say: "The old man listened to his promise, and then he put his heart back into his stomach, and led the way first, and brought him to the broken house where the old man stayed. It was already dark, the old man There is not even a grain of rice in the house, only a bowl of water was fetched from a wooden barrel, and the man was invited to drink. The man saw that the old man’s clothes were torn, the house was leaking everywhere, and the roof had several holes, which were broken by the rain. The hole went all the way into the house, knowing that the old man was extremely poor, so he opened a bundle he was carrying, took out a few white steamed buns from it, and placed them in front of the old man.

"Since I was young, I have only seen people eat steamed buns a few times, but I have never even touched them. At that time, I had been out of food for several days. I only ate boiled grass roots with clear water two or three times, and I was already hungry. When the man took out the steamed buns, the old man smelled a burst of aroma, and he was so greedy that he drooled immediately. Seeing the old man's appearance, the man said to the old man, I walked for three days and three nights before I came here to meet with you. In an isolated village, I ate all the beef and pancakes on the road, and only these steamed buns are left. If you don’t mind, you can eat them.

"The old man was very hungry at that time, let alone a few white steamed buns, even the bark of wild vegetables, I'm afraid I can swallow it. So the man's voice fell, the old man stretched out his hands, each hand grabbed He picked up a white steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth."

When Liu Shengzongyan said this, he suddenly stopped.He looked up at the ceiling of the tomb passage, his body trembled slightly, and then he continued: "I don't remember the taste of steamed buns for a long time. It seems to be a strange dream. When I woke up, the man took it out The steamed buns had disappeared long ago. The old man heard a strange sucking sound, and after a while, he realized that it was the sound of 'chi chi' made by the old man sucking his fingers. Only then did the old man know that in the blink of an eye, those few The white mantou was swallowed by the old man like a whirlwind. Because he ate it too fast, he didn't even notice the taste of the mantou. In the end, feeling a little bit reluctant, he put the fingers that had grabbed the mantou into his mouth and sucked it clean. "

Hearing what Liu Shengzongyan said, Wang Xiaoyu thought back to the day when he put ten filthy fingers in his mouth and smacked. Suddenly, he felt a tumbling in his stomach, and there was a "crack" in his throat, and he almost vomited out.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, you old thief is not a good person since you were a child.That person saved your life, you saw that he was a man of great ability, and you made up your mind to use him, so you invited him back.It's a pity that that person was a generation of outstanding people, but he was killed by you old thief in the end.After this matter is over, I must seek justice from you, an old thief, for him!

Liu Sheng Zongyan raised his head high, and said in his mouth: "When people are extremely hungry, they are no different from wild animals. After there is food in their stomachs, their animal nature will be much less. The old man knows that he must be very dirty when he is gobbling. , my heart suddenly became uneasy, and I was thinking of apologizing to that person, but I heard the person ask, these days I go north all the way, and many villages along the way are very desolate, and there are many corpses lying on the road, which looks extremely miserable. But I I haven't heard that there is a war happening here. Why are there so many people dying in the wilderness?

"The old man told the man about the natural disaster when he heard the man's question. The man looked stunned, thought for a while, and then slowly said, "So that's the case. It's very remote here, far away from the town. So many people will die. But this is also good, I am looking for a place of seclusion, there is only one mountain road leading to the outside of the mountain, and there is no pier by the sea, I think no one will bother me again.

"The old man didn't know what he meant by talking to himself, so he opened his mouth to ask, but the man deliberately diverted the conversation. The old man knew that he didn't want to talk, so he didn't dare to force it, so he had a chat and asked the man to sleep in the room There was a haystack in the corner. The man did not refuse, and fell asleep. After a while, he heard his snoring gradually, and he was already fast asleep.

"The old man ate three or four steamed buns in one go. He has never been so full since he was a child. But after the steamed buns entered his stomach, his stomach gradually started to hurt. At first, he could bear it, but later, he just felt that his stomach was full. It bulged like a ball, and the pain was unbearable. The old man had no choice but to endure the pain and walked to the wooden barrel filled with water, and drank two or three bowls of water in one go. Who knew that it would be better not to drink, after the cold water was poured into the stomach, My stomach felt like it was about to burst, and I couldn't even take a step because of the pain."

Hearing what Liu Shengzongyan said, Wang Xiaoyu gloated in his heart, and thought to himself that it would be better to kill you, old scoundrel, and the world would be much more peaceful.

Liu Sheng Zongyan went on to say: "The old man was in so much pain that he couldn't stop rolling on the ground, but he was afraid of waking up the man, so he bit his tongue and dared not make the slightest sound. Just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the door." There was a sound of chaotic footsteps. A moment later, five big men broke into the dilapidated house. The leader of the man was a long follower of the Wutian family.

"The old man was shocked when he saw people from the Wutian family suddenly barging in. I just thought about it, I have neither borrowed money from the Wutian family to rent land, nor offended the Wutian family. Why should I be afraid? Thinking of this, the old man My mind is at peace. It's just that my stomach hurts unbearably, and the old man's face and body are covered in cold sweat.

"Those men were surprised when they saw the old man's appearance. The chief follower said to the old man that this year's harvest is not good, so the old man must first pay the rent and land rent owed to Mr. Wutian's house. The old man was frightened After a jump, he hurriedly explained that he had never borrowed money from the Wutian family to rent land. The long follower sneered and said, although the owner of the house you live in died a few years ago, he owed Ten shi of grain for the Wutian family. The interest rate has increased more than ten times in the past few years, and 150 shi of grain must be returned to the Wutian family. Since you live in this room, you have to pay back the 150 shi of grain.

"The old man was stunned when he heard what he said. When the old man's parents passed away in the past, they left a dilapidated wooden house. The old man lived in that dilapidated wooden house, which was barely able to keep out the wind and rain. But last winter, a A heavy snowfall collapsed the wooden house, and almost killed the old man inside. The old man had no brothers and sisters to help him, and he had no money in his hands, and no one from the villagers was willing to help. It would be extremely difficult to rebuild the wooden house. In desperation, the old man had no choice but to give up rebuilding the wooden house. Holding a torn quilt, he hid in an uninhabited dilapidated house at the head of the village. But he never expected that the original owner of this dilapidated house would be He owed the Wutian family ten stones of food, which gave the Wutian family a reason to blackmail the old man.

"It's just that the old man was just a poor boy in the village at that time. Although he knew that this group of people deliberately blackmailed him, he didn't dare to resist. He just begged bitterly and was willing to move out immediately. The long follower shook his head and forced the old man to hand over 150 yuan. Shiguzi. The old man couldn't get any food, so he had to kneel on the ground and kowtow. Seeing that the old man refused to take the money, the chief officer was furious and shouted loudly. The men who came with him rushed up immediately and took The old man was beaten black and blue, rolling all over the ground."
