Chapter 7 Beheading performance, old man's last wish

It was noon, and the Weishui Hanqiao area was not as prosperous as the Tianqiao area, but it was still lively.

It was hard for the wind and snow to stop, and everyone came out to go to the market as if they had made an appointment.

"Candied haws! Fragrant and sweet candied haws!"

"Rice cake! Steaming rice cake!"

"Eat slowly, don't choke, you are really a child..."

"..."

Yu Chen was walking in the crowd, and he could hear the complicated and noisy voices around him, so clear that he was not used to it.

Even the rustling sound of the pedestrians' boots stepping on the snow is so clear!
Thinking about it, I'm afraid it's the benefits brought by the innate realm.

While muttering to himself, Yu Chen mingled with the crowd and walked towards Mingtong Vegetable Garden near Hanqiao.

As a restaurant in the area of ​​Hanqiao, Mingtong Vegetable Garden is naturally not so delicious compared to the Chunfeng Restaurant, which is full of guests. Relatively speaking, the price is not so scary.

Although he didn't plan to use the money he had saved over the years to honor the errands on the road to exile, Yu Chen, who was used to frugality, was reluctant to go to the Spring Breeze Tower to have a good meal.

When we arrived at the vegetable garden, there was a lot of voices.

Yu Chen ordered two roast chickens, a plate of pork head meat, and a bucket of rice. It took half an hour to eat everything.

Then, under the horrified eyes of the little second, he wiped his mouth, took a step, and walked out of the threshold.

When passing the dry bridge, I heard the ups and downs of the storyteller under the bridge.

"However, they said that those two rogue-faced rogues, drunk and evil, were extremely cruel and killed people in the end!"

"Under the arrest of the government, the two of them chose a way to escape, and they didn't want to go to Qingfengling!"

"You know, that poor silly girl was buried in the mausoleum!"

"The two of them are like flies, running around in the woods, but they don't know that they have already been targeted by evil spirits and ghosts!"

"The moon was dark and the wind was high that night, and everything was silent!"

"Suddenly, the torches were completely extinguished, and it was pitch black, and the chill was piercing."

"The two rascals only listened to the mournful wailing, echoing in the mountains!"

"Give me my life! Give me my life! Give me my life!"

The storyteller has a ferocious expression and a hoarse voice, making goosebumps wrinkle the onlookers around him!

"The two rascals were trembling all over. When they looked up, they saw a female ghost with disheveled hair, a green face, fangs, no pearls, and three-foot nails. She came to kill her!"

"Although the two of you are jerks, how have you ever seen such a scene?"

"Immediately frightened my mind, broke my courage, ran away, and went crazy!"

boom!
With Xingmu's slap, the storyteller's words are upright, and everyone is awakened!

"The so-called law of heaven is clear, good and evil are rewarded, that's exactly it!"

This performance is vivid and vivid, and the people around are mesmerized by it!
They gave generously and gave money.

Although not much, but enough food and clothing.

In the end, the storyteller looked at the time, put away the Xingmu folding fan, and wanted to close the stall.

At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and said to everyone, "The government announced that at noon today, it was those two rascals who beheaded the public at the Zhengtong execution ground. How did the villain get his head off!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was talking.

Yu Chen who happened to pass by was also taken aback.

The sword and Da Zhuang are going to be beheaded?
This time the yamen is doing things very neatly, isn't it?
While muttering, he turned around and walked towards the execution ground.

The execution ground is located at the junction of Tianqiao and Hanqiao, and the journey is only two quarters of an hour, which is not far away.

Yu Chen had nothing to do anyway, so he just wanted to take a look.

——After witnessing the miserable situation of that silly woman with his own eyes, everyone hated the knife-faced, brawny and rascals, and Yu Chen was no exception.

It must be quite satisfying to see this kind of guy's head fall to the ground,

It was just a little surprising that when he rushed to the execution ground, he actually ran into an acquaintance.

Well, it's not familiar, it's just a chance meeting.

When the weather was cold and the road was slippery, a young man hurriedly bumped into Yu Chen's body with a bang, and fell completely.

Yu Chen lowered his head and saw this man's face was tall and strong, he was in a hurry, wasn't it the old shoemaker's son?

The other party rubbed his knees, looked up, and obviously recognized Yu Chen.

He was still muttering in his heart, how could Yu Chen, who looks thin and small, be able to bump himself into a stagger?

But after the square-faced young man was puzzled, he didn't think about it carefully, thinking that his feet were slippery.

"Are you...the grave watcher from Qingfeng Mausoleum?"

Compared with the bewildered appearance when I saw it before, the square-faced young man who paid back all the money and decided never to gamble again, although his eyes were dark because he was frightened by Yu Chen last night, his spirit The spirit has been relieved a lot.

Look at that look... relaxed.

Facing the other party's greeting, Yu Chen nodded, turned around and left.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the square-faced youth seems to have heard the other party mutter "The prodigal son will not change his money" or something.

But after shaking his head, he didn't think too much, and went home.

He decided to wash his hands and start a new life.

When we arrived at the execution ground, it was just noon, so Yu Chen didn't have the chance to hear the indictment read out. He just watched the two executioners holding bright swords, sprayed a mouthful of strong wine on the swords, raised the swords with their hands, and with a click, the head fell to the ground!

The two embarrassed heads with silly expressions rolled across the snow, and the bright red sprayed out, leaving a trace on the dark red ground of the Zhengtong execution ground.

Then, the enthusiastic applause of the people resounded through the execution ground.

The crime deserves, according to the law, it should be executed, the villain should be punished, and everyone expects it!
It's just that Yu Chen suddenly felt dazed amidst the extremely noisy crowd.

Fifteen years ago, it was also such a cold winter, and also in this Zhengtong execution ground, there were also two such heads rolling across the snow.

- Those are Yu Chen's parents.

That year, Yu Chen was over four years old, lost his parents, and became the offspring of sinners.

When Yu Chen recovered from his trance.

On the execution ground, more than half of the people had dispersed, only a dozen or so people were left sparsely, unwilling to leave.

——Most of them were bullied by Dao Lian and Da Zhuang, two rascals. Seeing this scene, they were reluctant to leave for a long time.

It wasn't until people from the yamen came to collect the corpses, loaded the two half-drawn bodies and heads into the car, and sent them to the sewing place, that the crowd dispersed.

Yu Chen was also among the crowd and disappeared.

From the beginning to the end, without saying a word, it was as if they were just watching a decapitation performance.

Passing by Hanqiao market, Yu Chen bought some rice and some meat.

——Today is an indulgence, he is not willing to come to the restaurant every day, so he should make a fire and eat by himself, it will last longer.

With rice in his left hand and meat in his right hand, the young man pretended to be struggling in order not to attract attention. He was walking between the markets and was about to leave the county town and go back to the mountains.

But suddenly I heard that not far away, mourning and joy came, like weeping and complaining, very sad and mournful.

He turned his head and saw a pair of funeral procession walking through the streets.The yellowed money paper is like flying snow, and the fluttering silver buildings roar and hunt, bringing endless sorrow.

At the front of the line, a young man dressed in plain white and wearing sackcloth and filial piety held the portrait in his hands, his eyes flushed.

Yu Chen took a closer look, and saw that the portrait was an old man over half a century old, with serious expressions and serious eyes, and the appearance of a strict teacher.

Yu Chen was taken aback.

This man, he knows.

The most respected and respected teacher in the public schools in the Hanqiao area, not to mention peaches and plums all over the world, but it can be regarded as everyone in Weishui County.

Of course, Yu Chen didn't know him because he went to a public school, the offspring of sinners are not qualified for this.

It's because of this gentleman, who is kind to him.

After his parents were beheaded and left on the street, this teacher passed by and gave Yu Chen food more than once.

Although it was not a great kindness, Yu Chen always remembered it in his heart.

It's a pity that good people don't live long.

Yu Chen sighed helplessly in his heart, and was about to look away and continue walking.

——As for the teacher, he is highly respected and has a lot of money in his family. Naturally, he will be sent to Mingyue Mausoleum.

But when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a glimmer of light in the corner of his eyes.

Inside the heavy coffin, a thin but tall figure came towards him.

That appearance was exactly the same as the portrait that the young man was holding!
Coupled with the sound of mourning and music, and the bursts of money and paper, the warm winter sun seemed to be gloomy, making it even more treacherous!

Let's listen to the dejected sound and the sound of gongs and drums, the ghost whispered faintly, "Leave innocence in the world...Leave innocence in the world..."
