Chapter 20
The third senior brother mentioned a little bit about his past to me. I sorted it out and understood where his character and thoughts today come from.

He said that he was born to a servant girl and the head of the Chu family. On the day of his birth, he happened to encounter an extremely rare rainstorm for several days. He hadn’t seen a bright sun for several days. Quite curious, he clamored for the servants at home to take him to the Huxin Pavilion of Chu House to watch the rain, but he accidentally fell down because the ground was slippery while watching the rain, and his head got stuck in the railing, and the lake slowly rose due to the heavy rain. , the servants became more and more panic-stricken, and kept thinking about how to rescue their little master. Finally, a servant came up with the method of smashing the stone fence with a hammer to save people.

Speaking of this, the third senior brother didn't say what happened afterwards, but said lightly that the son of the principal house died that day, and he was born, one life for another, so he was considered to have taken the life of the son of the principal house. of.

Since he was called life-threatening, the days that followed could only be uncomfortable.

He and his mother were bullied by the main house and other aunts, and lived in a dilapidated thatched cottage next to the son's tomb, and asked them to spend their whole lives to atone for his sins. They would eat bad food every two days, and there was no need to think about reading and writing. He is younger than children of the same age, and can only speak a few simple words.The mother followed him, and seemed to be implicated, depressed all day long, and occasionally played madly with a bamboo flute, or said something that the third senior brother didn't understand, but he can't remember now What Mother said seemed to be repeating the same few words.

He said that he was very good at observing his mother's emotions, he was careful in everything, and arranged everything for her first, but his mother was always unhappy.

When he was young, his only wish was to make his mother happy and smile at him, but he didn't know how to do it, until one day he saw several aunts receiving calligraphy, paintings and colorful sculptures from the head of the Chu family. The products, or the finely crafted gold and silver jewelry, would bring a bright smile to his face. He simply thought that as long as he gave his mother the same thing, her mother would definitely be happy.

So he observed those things during the day when no one noticed, and "borrowed" a few pieces of paper and pen and ink, and hid beside the tombstone when the moon was bright at night, imitating calligraphy works first.Now to the paintings!Then there are sculptures, and finally some jewelry with materials that are relatively easy to obtain. The more things he borrows, the more authentic things he makes, almost indistinguishable from the real ones.When he happily wants to give it to his mother!The servants of the family also began to notice the shortage of things, and traced the line to the thatched cottage. When they opened the door, they saw calligraphy, paintings and jewelry all over the floor.

The third senior brother took a deep breath when he said this, his face twisted a little, as if he had seen something terrible, he thought for a long time, and seemed to be hesitating whether to say it or not.

In the end, he still didn't say anything, but just told what happened in the end.

It was almost Chinese New Year, and because of this incident, his mother was accused of stealing by the wives and concubines of the Chu family. Even though the genuine products were still safely stored in their house, they seized the opportunity to beat and scold her and drive her away. The third senior brother went out, the third senior brother was very nervous, he didn't know what was going on, he quickly knelt down, just begging not to drive him and his mother out in this winter month, it's so cold outside, and their clothes are so thin, if they are kicked out now The Chu family, they will freeze to death.

Seeing their indifference, he thought that he was asking too much, and then changed his mind, at least keep his mother, he will go, as long as his favorite mother can stay, he will go by himself——

"After I finished speaking, A Niang looked at me, pointed at me and said: It would be great if I hadn't given birth to you, my life will be ruined by you," the third senior brother said lightly, and then it was very cold, I suddenly had an urge to build a fire to keep warm, so I set it on fire. "

I froze.

"Third senior brother, you seem to have omitted a lot in the end, and the reason for setting the fire is also different from what you said at the beginning. I feel that the painting style has changed a bit."

"Really, maybe I haven't learned the words well, and I can't express what I want to say well."

"I think you just don't want to tell the real reason."

He smiled and said, "Oh, as expected of a clever potato, his head is smart."

Then he still didn't intend to tell the real reason.

"Forget it, it's good that you can tell me so much, at least I know more than the other two brothers."

"Is that so?" He smiled, "That depends on who has the better memory."

I didn't quite understand what the third brother meant, but I heard a rustling sound from the roof and the same sound from outside, "Huh? What sound?"

"Beast," he said, "it's really worrying to be making trouble at such a late hour."

The third senior brother ignored the strange sound, looked up at the prayer flags and said in a daze, "Later, when I was sheltering from the cold in the temple, I saw that everyone who came in was worshiping gods and Buddhas for their own wishes, so I also learned to follow The hall full of gods and Buddhas prays, firstly, wishing that the people I care about can have a safe life, secondly, wishing them happiness, and thirdly, wishing them to care a little bit about me."

"But they have never responded to me. As long as they get involved with me, everyone will suffer and even lose their lives, whether it's A Niang, Senior Brother Bai, or you, it's all like this."

The third senior brother paused, and continued, "Fortunately, I am the Fire Cloud Evil God you call, an ominous body that took other people's lives and was born. If I behave a little bit more ruthlessly, you will keep away from me," he seemed to be saying Talk to yourself and find a reason to convince yourself, "This way you won't be dragged down by me."

I looked at the statues of Buddha beads randomly placed in the whole room. Although he said so, perhaps the third senior brother would still pray for the same wish of the gods in these many nights, when I thought it was because he was afraid of ghosts, or It was released for the purpose of driving away, but I found that his intention seemed to be much heavier than I thought.

"Third senior brother, I don't know how your mother is, but you have stayed at Mingjingmen for a few years and said that you want to stay away from you, but it's not so cold here, and even the latrines of rich people are bigger than yours. Don’t everyone have to be next to you,” I said, “Are you going to kill anyone? No, even the second brother can grab your ponytail and growl. I’m also alive and kicking in front of you, proving that our fate is tough.” , you can’t kill us.”

I got up and sat next to him next to him, "Look, is there nothing wrong?"

His eyes widened slightly, and his black pupils, which were larger than ordinary people's, were full of emotions. He didn't reply for a long time, and his fair face began to blush.When he still wanted to say something to me, he suddenly glanced at the door and sighed slightly, "It seems that it's time for the two of us to be alone."

Together we heard hurried footsteps coming from the door.

"Yingying, come to my room next time if you want," he said with the corner of his mouth curled up, "I will wait."

The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the elder brother wrapped in a bath towel pushed open the door with his palm, and the door slammed down from the door frame, "Ah Chu! I'm just halfway through the shower, and I feel like you're talking about me, So I climbed on your roof to listen, I'm sorry, it's all the elder brother's fault, I was so angry that day, but I didn't know at all—— woo, I shouldn't say that about you! We have been together for so long, and I Didn't know you loved me so much."

"Ah, animals are not, Senior Brother Luo is here, I really feel disappointed, but I didn't say I love animals, no, I mean you," he said to the elder brother, "Also, you have to give me the door fix it."

"Of course! Ah Jing, don't go, you just stood by the window, what? You're going to wash the dishes? Didn't I just do it? Hey, why did you speed up——"

The senior brother jogged to the right, and then vaguely heard the second senior brother yelling and cursing not far away, and was soon dragged by the senior senior brother by the hair to the third senior brother's room, "What are you doing! Are you an idiot?"

"I didn't expect Brother Bai to come too. I never dreamed that there would be such a lively time in my room," he said, "Although I really want to chat with you, but it's already late today, how about ten Come back next year?"

"Chuchu," the second senior brother patted the elder brother's hand away, glared at him angrily, and smoothed his messy hair, "Your decision was right that day, I just came here to tell you this."

"Of course I'm right," the third senior brother smiled when he heard it, "but don't you blame me? You traveled a lot before the gate of hell."

"Hmph, what's there to complain about? People who walk in the rivers and lakes will die one day, either today or tomorrow."

"It may also be a thousand years later," the third senior brother interjected, "The ancients said that the disaster will last a thousand years."

When I thought the third senior brother was going to be beaten, the second senior brother just smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, although I don't want to, but this way I can always be with you who is also evil, it seems that we still need to get along A long time, a whole millennium."

The third brother's eyes suddenly widened.

"Is it a disaster? Then the master will definitely live a thousand years. My words persecute animals? I forced Yingying to lay three eggs this morning, so I am also a disaster!" The senior brother grinned and said, as if being a disaster Very commendable one thing in general.

I looked at them and realized that I was alone. I was thinking of saying something to prolong my life when the third senior brother had already said, "Don't forget little junior sister, she is also a scourge."

I froze, "Huh?"

"It's too frightening to make such a lazy master so angry to protect you," the elder brother nodded and said, "And Ah Jing also knelt down with Liu Changshi and the others because of you, and I will Never been treated like this.”

The second senior brother blushed a little, and said aside, "Mother Te, shut up."

The elder brother scratched the back of his head, laughed a few times and held us all together, "Anyway, we can all live for thousands of years, so no one will be lonely,"

As a result, he moved too much, and the towel fell to the ground.I blushed, and when I was about to cover my face, the other two quickly covered my eyes.

The second senior brother yelled while covering it, "Luo Bi!!! What are you doing, don't hurry up and put it on!!!"

"Ah, Brother Luo has shrunk, it seems to be a little smaller than before,"

"Chuchu—the potato is still here, what the hell are you talking about?"

In the end, in the confusion, the elder brother quickly wrapped himself in a bath towel, and ran out the door with a smile on his face. He took off the gossip mirror on the door frame and fell to the ground, "I don't need this thing, you have to live longer."

The second senior brother put down his hands, and tore off a few spells before leaving, "Hmph, can such a useless thing restrain your physique? Forget it."

But the two of them uttered a cry of pain not long after, the senior brother was cut on his foot by the rebounding lens; the second senior brother was cut on his hand by the lifted talisman paper.

"," the third senior brother looked at them wordlessly, "I use that to block sneaking things."

I said behind, "Don't worry, I don't think Sneaky dares to enter such a place where dragons and snakes are mixed."

He looked at me and smiled softly, his expression was still gentle and gentle as usual, but he couldn't hide his happy mood, "That's right."
