Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 19
But even if she didn't go hunting in Chen Xianglai, she wouldn't have such thoughts. People here have a strong concept of men being superior to women. If they are not as useless as Shen Dachang, they don't treat women as human beings, so she decided not to marry. Don't spend your life with such a person.

What she is most worried about now is her mother's body. For some reason, Xiang Lai's mother is full of food and warm clothes, but her body is getting thinner and thinner, her appetite is not good, and her appetite is not good.

Xianglai asked Mr. Cao to visit twice. Mr. Cao said it was a disharmony between the spleen and stomach, and prescribed some medicine to regulate Qi and calm the stomach, but after taking it for a long time, it did not improve. Together with your mother, find a good doctor and take a good look.

Seeing that there were still more than ten days to celebrate the new year, Xianglai made the calculations and decided to hunt for a few more days before selling the leather, trying to earn as much money as possible so as not to run out of money to buy rice seeds.

On this day, she and her second aunt went into the mountain again.

In the past, hunting Xianglai deliberately avoided going south, because she knew that the gold mine where "father" was killed was in the south, and she was worried that going to the gold mine would make Second Aunt sad.

But today, after the two of them inspected the traps in the mountains to the west and found nothing, the second aunt hesitated and said: "Xiang'er, do you think that the wild animals in the mountains here are almost covered by us, or... let's go How many sets does Nanshan put?"

Chen Xianglai's heart moved, but she still nodded in agreement.

The two walked southward over mountains and ridges, and Second Aunt was always absent-minded along the way.

Xianglai ran into the beast way and set up a few tricks, and finally stopped looking everywhere, and said to Second Aunt, "Second Aunt, is this not far from the place where Dad died? Why don't we go and have a look."

The second aunt didn't speak, but walked silently first.

Since Shen Wanjin fell ill, no one mentioned the matter of avenging Shen Wanlu in a lawsuit. Xianglai guessed that the second aunt felt that her father's revenge would never be avenged, and felt aggrieved.In fact, she had an idea in her heart that seemed unrealistic now, but she was poor and white, and her mother and second aunt could only think that she was arrogant when she said this idea, so they had no choice but to suppress it in their hearts.

When Shen Wanlu died that day, there was only one person. The villagers came out to search for two days before finding it. The second aunt was also among them. She knew where Shen Wanlu died and remembered it firmly. Even in the mountains, she could find it directly.

She took Xianglai all the way to a gentle hillside, and there was a river more than 20 meters wide at the foot of the hillside, but at this time the river had been dug to a disastrous shape, and there were still rows of houses built on both sides of the river.

The gold mine has been shut down in winter, and the people who stay here to watch the mine also stay in their houses, but judging from the smoke from the chimneys of several houses, there are not a few people who stay here.

Coming here, the second aunt's eyes started to get wet again, and she pointed to a place in front of her and said, "That's where your father died. When we found it, it was full of blood, and your father was dragged aside to be buried." , if we hadn't dug it out along the bloodstains, I'm afraid we would never find it in this lifetime..."

With just a few words from her, Chen Xianglai imagined the tragic situation at that time, and could see her sadness and anger from her words and eyes.

She grabbed Second Aunt's hand and said: "Second Aunt, don't worry, people say good and evil will be rewarded in the end, my father will not just die like this, Tianlai and I haven't grown up yet, I believe that one day , we will let that Xu Zongde get the retribution he deserves!"

The second aunt held her tightly in her arms, with her cheek against her hair, sobbing and said: "But Xu Zongde's family is worth millions, even if you are all grown up, how can you fight him..."

Xianglai was sighing secretly, thinking whether to boast in front of her first to give her hope, but at this moment, she heard the second aunt's voice change, she was surprised and frightened: "Xiang, Xianglai, you Is that a human?!"

Hearing that the second aunt's voice was wrong, Chen Xianglai broke free from her arms, and saw that the second aunt was pointing at a place diagonally above.

She looked in the direction of Second Aunt's finger, and saw a pile of dark things behind a clump of hen tree strips that had lost all their leaves. The lower half of it was buried by snow and could not be seen. There are patches of bright red on the snow, which looks extremely dazzling.

She looked at the thing as if it was wrapped in fabric, not like animal fur, and she was not sure: "It seems...it is a person!"

Second Aunt heard what she said and thought of Shen Wanlu's appearance when he died, and said with some fear: "Is that a living person or a dead person?"

Chen Xianglai was naturally courageous, and said: "How about we go and have a look?"

Although the second aunt was afraid, she still nodded and said: "Well, go and have a look."

The two walked towards that place hand in hand, trembling, the closer they got, the more they could see that there was indeed a person upside down there.

The two of them walked to the man's side little by little, only to see that the man had gray hair, obviously not young, and was lying on his side in the snow covered in blood.

Chen Xianglai called out tentatively: "Hello!"

The man didn't respond at all.

The second aunt looked at this scene and remembered Shen Wanlu's appearance when he died, and couldn't help feeling a little pity, walked over boldly, bent down and gently pushed the man, but the man still didn't respond.

But the second aunt turned her head and said to Xianglai: "Xiang'er, this person is not hard, he seems not dead!"

When she said this, Chen Xianglai became more courageous, walked over and turned the old man over with her.

But when the old man moved, his hanging arms were lifted from the ground, only to see that both wrists were snapped off, exposing white stubbles.

It was the first time for Chen Xiang to see such a tragic scene in his two lives, so he screamed in shock and backed away two steps.

Although the second aunt had seen Shen Wanlu's miserable corpse, she couldn't help but let out a low voice, but she quickly held back, shaking the old man and calling: "Hey, wake up, wake up..."

Chen Xianglai calmed down and came back again, looked at the old man's wrist that was still bleeding with a wrinkled face, and said, "Second Aunt, do you want to help him stop the bleeding?"

The second aunt looked at it and said: "There is no rope or anything, just take your condom!"

Xianglai then took out a thin case from the birch bark bag she was carrying, disassembled it and broke it into two pieces of wire, but she couldn't do anything when she saw the thick broken bone. Fear helps the old man stop the bleeding.

Perhaps the sting when hemostasis was too painful, the old man finally woke up, slowly opened his eyes, and moved his withered lips a few times, but he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Xianglai ran to the side and squeezed back some clean snow to put in his mouth.

The old man's mouth became a little moist, and he watched the second aunt stretching the wire on his arm, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't... get busy, it's useless..."

At this time, the second aunt had already finished strangling him, and when she saw him wake up, she went to the side of the blood field to wash the blood off her hands with snow.
