20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 127 The bloody feud finally awakens
It's not painful to be anonymous. What's really scary is forgetting your true colors.

The blood feud is unforgettable, but the anger in the heart needs to be carefully cared for. Even if it is only a weak ember, it must be carefully sealed until the wind comes.

Those firewood, rice, oil, salt, rouge and gouache are of course the colors of the human world. As long as you are still tossing around in this world, you will inevitably be surrounded by these trivial things.

Human fireworks kill young people!

It happens that these delicate and necessary objects are the most likely to make people wasteful and depressed.

So I was confused and contented with myself just because I got a few extraneous things.

Scattered flowers gradually become charming eyes!
Who am I, where am I going, and what do I want to do?
"Master, my name is Lingchun, not He Chun."

Zhao Lingchun corrected, almost instinctively.

Seven years ago, she came to Fengtian and made up a few lies, but Jiang Chenghai, an old man, saw through them easily.

From then on, she began to painstakingly manage her false life experience, filling in the gaps and adding bricks and mortar. When it was fake, it was also fake. If she wanted to deceive others, she had to first deceive herself. Over time, even she herself became confused.

What's even more frightening is that she seems to have gradually become accustomed to this kind of life, and even - it's hard for her to say - she is a little satisfied.

It’s not that she is heartless and can see clearly, but that people always paralyze themselves first in the face of great compassion.

If she had been thinking about this blood feud all the time for seven years and allowed her anger to burn it out, then she would probably have gone crazy long ago.

Yi Zi Hu snorted coldly and shuffled Pai Gow on the table.

"Oh, I thought that the daughter of the escort agency should always be strong-willed. Now it seems that she has been in the powder pile for a long time, and finally became a plaything for the men."

Zhao Lingchun couldn't help but be startled, his eyes gradually changed from surprise to hesitation.

"You... who are you?"

"Does it matter to you who I am?" Yizihu asked, "You'd better think about who you are."

Zhao Lingchun lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he nodded and said: "You are right, I... am He Chun. Are you here... to kill me?"

"Kill you?" Yi Zi Hu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I have no grievances with you, so why should I kill you? If I kill you, how can you play cards with me?"

"Master, you wouldn't just ask me to play cards, right?" Zhao Lingchun murmured.

"Of course, come on, let me tell you the truth about the Changfeng Escort case in the 29th year of Guangxu's reign. How about that?"

Zhao Lingchun heard the thunder in silence and was stunned. He reacted for a while and then asked tentatively: "You will tell me only if I win you?"

When she entered the house just now, she spoke politely to Master Chang. Sister Yao didn't know how to gamble, so how could she do the "calling game" business?

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Yi Zi Hu was even more cheerful and said: "Win me? After I turned 30, no matter what I played, I never lost. The reason why I asked you to come and play with me is because I haven’t touched these things for a long time, I just want to practice my skills. However, if you can beat me, I will also give you a lot of rewards!"

In this case, Zhao Lingchun no longer had any worries, and immediately walked to the table carefully and sat down.

The small stove next to the corner of the table was about to go out, making my feet warm and a little itchy.

"Whoa, whoa-"

The dark dominoes were scattered on the table, and the "heaven, earth, and people" were mixed together, and then reunited, just like this world where the world is upside down and people's hearts are separated.

Play dice and draw four.

"Tattoo!"

Zhao Lingchun was absent-minded and glanced at the dominoes in his hand, but he couldn't help but let out a "yeah" - he actually made up a pair of mixed dominoes - when had he been so lucky?
Double red eight points, a total of sixteen, imply the way of being a human being between heaven and earth: benevolence, justice, loyalty, propriety, integrity and wisdom, right and wrong, shame and evil, compassion and resignation!
If Zhao Lingchun had played this card on a normal day with the sisters in "Huifangli", he would have bet a lot of money on it, but now he just slapped it on the table without thinking about it.

"Double."

But Yi Zi Hu didn't look at the cards at all, and stretched out his hand to wash it. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he already knew whether he was winning or losing.

Zhao Lingchun was a little confused. He turned over the opponent's cards and looked down - Double Heaven Supreme, kill together!

If he had really bet money just now, he would probably have lost it all.

While shuffling the cards, Yizihu asked calmly: "How much did you know about the Changfeng Escort Agency back then?"

Zhao Lingchun looked at the chaotic dominoes and shook his head gently: "My father never told the children in the backyard about business matters. I was still young at that time. I only know that on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there was a big noise outside the door, and I heard someone shouting. 'Heads'. Later, there were gunshots, and my grandpa asked us to hide in the back room and be quiet, and then there were gunshots again. And later - "

Zhao Lingchun's chest began to rise and fall violently, and his eyes instantly turned red with tears.

She felt a pain in her head and wanted to reach out to rub it, but she unconsciously touched the scar on her eyebrow bone.

"Then later - Mao Zi! A bunch of Mao Zi broke in!"

Yizihu picked up the stove hook at his feet and lifted the firewood net in the stove - "whoop" - and the dying embers suddenly started to flame again.

"Oh, no wonder, it turns out you don't know anything!"

When Zhao Lingchun heard this, his heart became more and more complicated, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, Lingchun'er's life is miserable. His family was destroyed overnight, and he still doesn't know why to this day! Since you know my life experience, you must also know what happened that day. The reason, please tell me the truth, just take pity on me!"

But Yi Zi Hu turned a deaf ear and just placed the dominoes in a leisurely manner, and then said in a cold voice: "This time it's your turn to play the dice."

How could Zhao Lingchun still have that leisurely mind? His tears fell on the table and quickly seeped into the felt cloth and disappeared.

"Master, I beg you, tell me! I've been a cow and a horse, so I will repay you well! I'm not rich, I only have this skin, and it's really my own. If you like it, just take it. No matter how much you beat or scold, Ling Chun'er will never say a word!"

He had a straight beard and a stern face, seemingly indifferent to all the joys and sorrows in the world, and just pointed at the dominoes on the table.

"Play dice, I tell you!"

Zhao Lingchun had no choice but to grab the dice and throw it out again.

Yi Zi Hu then continued: "The affairs of your He family must start from the 28th year of Guangxu's reign. In the summer of that year, your father escorted an escort to Xinmin. When passing through Fengtian, he met a man named Han Ce. There was a dispute. This Han Ce's uncle is called Zhou Yunfu. Zhou Yunfu has a goddaughter named Xu Ruqing. Of course, everyone calls her 'Chuan'erhong'."

Zhao Lingchun's body suddenly froze, and there was a sharp tinnitus in his head.

"This matter...is related to Sister Hong?"

"Open the cards."

"Is it related to Sister Hong?"

"Open the card!"

Zhao Lingchun turned over the dominoes without even looking at them.

In the hands of Yi Zi Hu, there are still two heavenly supremes who can kill the whole situation!
"In your Changfeng Escort Bureau, He Xinpei and He Lishan are just a little bit in Liaoyang. Since you have injured Han Ce, according to Zhou Yunfu's temper, of course he wants revenge. But the old man is old, so he has no choice but to Let others do it for you.”

"'Owl'?"

Zhao Lingchun felt like a huge boulder was pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe and making her feel sick and retching.

Since she is a girl from "Huifangli", she will inevitably see these people from time to time.

"It's your turn to shuffle the cards this time." Yi Zi Hu said calmly.

This time, Zhao Lingchun had no unnecessary nonsense and immediately shuffled and numbered the cards obediently.

"Crack!"

An old log in the stove burned out.

Yizihu threw two pieces of charcoal into the stove, flicked it twice with the stove hook, and blew on it again. A few sparks flew out of the blue flames, and the room became a little warmer. "The end of the Changfeng Escort Bureau was planned by Jiang Chenghai. The second brother took the lead, the third brother came up with the idea, the fourth brother finished the work, the fifth child stepped on the plate, and the sixth and seventh children were responsible for the specific execution."

Immediately afterwards, Yizihu retold the ins and outs of how "Owl" borrowed a knife to kill people.

Zhao Lingchun listened quietly, surprisingly calm, and mechanically arranged the dominoes with his ten slender fingers. Without waiting for further instructions, he consciously played the dice and divided the tiles between the two.

The only thing that changed was that her pupils were getting darker and darker, and they no longer reflected any light. The fire under her feet was burning brightly, but it could not illuminate the look of her heart.

"Every one of them is your enemy! Of course, in order to pick yourself up clean and leak-proof, this plan also needs an unknowing loophole to serve as a fuse."

The one-word beard leaned on the table with his arms, leaned up slightly, and continued: "It was this loophole that led Maozi to your home! It was this loophole that killed your father He Lishan with his own hands! You and your mother, and... As for your sister, when she was being humiliated and raped by Maozi, she was still opening the window, snickering and peeking in!"

"Who?"

Zhao Lingchun raised his eyes and asked bitterly.

"Listen carefully, that gap is called: Jiang Xiao Dao!"

Dead silence.

Zhao Lingchun clenched his two fists tightly - for a long, long time - and then released his hands, leaned back on the chair limply, and snorted coldly.

"Ha! It turns out that in these seven years, I have turned myself into a joke."

Zhao Lingchun could not convince herself that it was okay to hang out with these enemies, but she unexpectedly found someone to help them out.

Fate plays tricks on people, these four words are easy to say, but who can understand the feeling?
But there was no compassion in her heart, let alone confusion. How could these seven years of small favors and small favors calm down the blood feud?

She understood clearly that in the final analysis, she was just a slave girl in "Huifangli" selling things for money!
"Hoo! Hoo!"

The fire in the furnace burned to its fullest.

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Zhao Lingchun understood very well, "Since you told me this, you must also have a grudge against Jiang Chenghai. If you think highly of me, Lingchun'er - no, He Chun - is willing to help you A helping hand!”

Unexpectedly, Mustache smiled and said: "You are in Huifangli. I can't always see you, and you don't have to listen to my orders. The hatred of killing your father is irreconcilable. You just need to wait. If you get a chance, kill if you can!"

After that, he took out a small pistol from his arms and handed it to Zhao Lingchun along the table.

Zhao Lingchun gingerly picked up the pistol, which was heavier than she expected.

"But how can I repay you?"

"You are repaying me by not forgetting your family's blood feud." Mustache narrowed his gray eyes, "Of course, if there is a chance, I may send someone to ask you about their situation, maybe not ,uncertain."

Zhao Lingchun nodded with peace of mind: "Master, what is your surname?"

"You'd better not know too much."

"Well, I understand."

"Can you use a gun?"

"will not."

So, Yizihu simply taught her some basic common sense, where is the safety, where is the magazine, three dots and one line, and pull the trigger.

"Get closer and hit the head. Remember! After a person falls, no matter whether he is still moving or not, you must shoot again!"

"Master, I remember it!" Zhao Lingchun listened carefully and remembered it in his heart.

Yi Zi Hu nodded, put the gun into her palm, and then took out a box of bullets from his arms and handed it to her.

"That's it! From now on, if it's not necessary, you won't see me again. If there's really something important, I will arrange for someone else to find you. This Young Master Chang, if you should interact with him, just continue to interact with him. For the rest, It’s a matter of course, needless to say.”

"Okay! Then - I'm leaving?"

"Let's go." The Yi Zi Hu said for the last time, "If you want to take revenge, the most important thing is to hide yourself first."

"Ok!"

Zhao Lingchun took a few steps towards the door, then suddenly thought of something, turned around, knelt down to the one-word mustache, kowtowed three times, then opened the door and left.

Shao Qing opened the door again, only to see Master Chang walking in with a timid look on his face.

"Second brother, I did everything you asked me to do, and the gambling debt I owe you..."

"I'll give you a month's delay."

Young Master Chang quickly nodded and bowed, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Second brother, you are the one who is righteous! Don't worry, I will definitely send you the money after one month. But during this period, please don't go to those brothers of yours." My dad is making trouble."

Yi Zi Hu was too lazy to say any more nonsense. He stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something, so he reached out and turned over the dominoes on the table.

No-name brand?

Yi Zi Hu suddenly frowned and hesitated for a moment before he remembered to turn over Zhao Lingchun's dominoes.

The Supreme of the Two Heavens—kill them all!

"hiss!"

The one-character mustache couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and thought to himself: Could it be that that little girl's movie is also a good one?
Not like!

I am confident that as far as Fengtian is concerned, there are no tricks that he can't see!
Could it be that his handwork has deteriorated?

Looking at the dice and the gaps on the dominoes on the table, Yi Zi Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief - it turned out that it was not his hands that ruined the work, but Zhao Lingchun was too absent-minded and did not pay attention to the points of the dice. The "Double Heaven Supreme" was assigned to her by mistake.

…………

Outside the gate of Changzhai, the big teapot Fulong was sitting on the carriage eating roasted sweet potatoes, slurping and burning his mouth.

"Eh? Ling Chun'er, it's going very fast today!" Fulong quickly got out of the car to greet him, "Hey, what's wrong? Why is his face so ugly? Are you being bullied? Let's go back! Let's go back and tell Sister Hong, damn, Because there are two filthy rich men, they are bullying us! I won’t agree!"

As Zhao Lingchun got into the car, he said, "No, no, I'm a little unhappy today. Let's go back first!"

"Ah! That's what happened!" Fulong drove up the carriage carelessly, "Now that the season has changed, you should wear more clothes!"

The wheels creaked and Zhao Lingchun shook his head while sitting in the carriage.

The weather was suddenly cold, and she couldn't help but curl up her sleeves, clutching the cold pistol tightly in her hand.

Her expression was cold and hard, as if she were a dead person, but when she opened her mouth, she said some heartwarming words.

"Fulong, stop at the fur shop in front later. It's getting cold. I plan to buy a shawl for the shopkeeper."

Fulong, who was outside the door curtain, laughed and said, "Hey! What kind of stuff does the shopkeeper have? If you have that kind of money, you might as well give yourself two things!"

Zhao Lingchun's eyes were dull and he murmured: "That's different. She gave me a shawl and I gave her a shawl. That's it."

"Ah? What did you say?" Fulong shouted loudly, "It was windy outside, so I couldn't hear you clearly!"
