Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 291
It was night, when the candles were slowly lit, the small Lijia Village was like a quiet paradise, illuminated by the little Ran Ran lights into a warm color.

Whether it is a man working in the field or a child playing outside, when the smell of food is wafting, following the greeting of the woman at home, they all stepped into their yard with smiles and contentment.

The joyful picture is integrated with the simple and simple happiness in the village, beautifully outlining the heart-warming simple life.

But this simple life does not belong to Li Daniu's family at this moment.

Li Daniu's family didn't live very well in the village, and now Li Daniu was killed again. During the day, this little woman who became a widow went to the city to slander the Wenjia Medical Center. I didn't expect her to be so careful. It would be seen through by someone with a heart, and she was so troubled on the spot that she was almost sent to the government. Now everyone in Lijia Village knows that the widow Li who died of a man is a black heart.

The honest and honest villagers who had some sympathy for Widow Li now all showed contempt when they mentioned Widow Li. In fact, we can’t blame everyone for treating Widow Li with such an attitude at this time; For the villagers who are farming, the thought of being honest and responsible has long been carved into their bones, so when such a despicable and shameless woman suddenly appeared in the village, they would naturally be scolded from head to toe, wishing they could rush up to vomit. Spit in two mouthfuls.

Therefore, when night fell, Widow Li, who had lost Li Daniu, did not hear the familiar smell of food from her house. oil lamp.

Li Bao'er is only about four or five years old this year. Maybe she has some mental problems, so she still can't speak very well. She only makes ahhh sounds when she is hungry, and cries a few times when she is uncomfortable.

Right now, it was already time for dinner, so Li Baoer was already hungry. He climbed down from the kang and wanted to go to the stove to find something to eat, but he was timid when he saw it was so dark outside; The stomach came to the side of the motionless mother who was sleeping on the kang, and gently pushed her, making the ahh sound that would only be made after being hungry in the past.

Hearing Li Baoer's voice, Widow Li finally opened her eyes.And those eyes were actually shining brightly under the dim light at this moment, like a wild beast about to come out of the cage to hunt, greedily waiting for the arrival of its prey.

"Ah, ah..."

Li Baoer made a sound again and gently pushed her mother.

Widow Li finally sat up from the kang, she looked a little embarrassed with her hair loose, but her face was always white, she looked like a lifeless patient.

Widow Li knew that Li Baoer was hungry, but she thought that there was not much food and firewood left in the kitchen, so she didn't have the heart to cook; so she took down a bamboo basket hanging above her head, and dug out two pieces of food from the inside. He handed it to Li Baoer and said, "Eat some of this to pad your stomach. Your father is gone now, and our mother and I don't know what will happen in the future. At this time, mother is not in the mood to cook. You Just deal with it first."

Li Baoer took the steamed buns handed over by his mother with his hands, and stared blankly at the hard white mask in his hands, knowing that this meal was a bit different from the steaming meals he used to eat.

Although Li Baoer has some intellectual problems, he is not really stupid. Of course, he knows that this dry bun is not tasty.

As a result, the child's willful energy rose, and after suddenly yelling at Widow Li a few times, he threw the bun in his hand on the ground, and stepped on it vigorously with his dirty bare feet. step on.

Seeing Li Baoer's action, Widow Li's eyes suddenly shrank, and the fuse that had been suppressed in her heart was instantly ignited at this moment. As if she couldn't control herself, she suddenly widened her eyes and raised her arms He slapped Li Baoer's face fiercely.

There was a 'pop' sound.

Li Bao'er was thrown to the ground by this slap, the child's skin was delicate, how could he bear Widow Li's all-out beating, Li Baoer's mouth was full of blood on the spot.

Li Bao'er is the only child of Li Daniu's family. Li Daniu loved this son who could not speak very much, and almost never touched him. Therefore, when Li Baoer was knocked down by Widow Li's slap, he was in a daze Yes, almost after a pause for a few breaths, he realized the pain on his face and mouth, and burst into tears immediately.

Hearing Li Baoer's cry, Widow Li's wide-open eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. At this time, she was not like a loving mother who loves her children, but more like an enraged beast, yelling at Li Baoer: : "Cry, cry, cry! You just know how to cry! Let me tell you, now that you are dead and your father is dead, and the poor in your family are almost unable to solve the problem, you fool dare to waste food at this time? Do you believe it or not? At that time, I will sell you for food!"

Li Bao'er looked at his mother who was stern and soft-hearted, and his whole body was trembling with fright, so the crying was much more mournful and louder than before.

Widow Li was already upset and irritable, but she was even more annoyed when she thought that the villagers who had helped her during the day would start pointing at the yard where she lived in the evening.

A village woman who is used to farm work is naturally nimble. She jumped off the bed with her arms supported, came to Li Baoer, picked up the frightened child, and poked his head with her index finger. Continue to teach: "If you don't hurry up and shut up for my old lady, if you continue to cry, I will throw you to the back mountain to feed the wolves."

Li Baoer can understand the word 'wolf'. When Li Daniu was alive, he liked to hold Li Baoer and tell him stories. The wolves in the back mountain were the most talked about in the stories. I heard that those wolves had a pair of glowing green eyes. It has sharp fangs and sharp teeth, and its favorite food is the meat of crying and fussy children.

Every time Li Daniu said this, Li Baoer would jump straight into Li Daniu's arms in fright. Facing such a timid son, Li Daniu would often hug his own flesh and blood and laugh loudly. Perceived satisfaction.

But right now, Li Baoer looked at Widow Li with eyes that were constantly washed by tears. In her eyes, there was no attachment to her mother in the past, but full of fear; it was as if Widow Li in front of her was stronger than the wolf in the back mountain. Terrible, let him avoid it.

Seeing that Li Bao'er didn't dare to cry like before, Widow Li released Li Bao'er. She was panting and sat down on the kang behind her, when she heard a sarcastic laugh from outside the door: "Everyone said Tigers are poisonous and don’t eat their offspring. I didn’t expect you, a widow, to be stronger than a tiger. You even dared to treat your own son so harshly when you lost your temper. You actually said that you would throw Li Bao’er to the back mountain to feed the wolves? You are not afraid of death. Li Daniu turned into a ghost, come back to ask for your life to settle accounts?"

Widow Li immediately recognized that the voice coming from outside the door was the voice of the culprit who killed Li Daniu and threatened her that day.

Widow Li, who was still dejected at first, felt as if she had been slapped with chicken blood. She looked at the door with bright eyes, ran to the door quickly, pulled the latch and ran out.

At this moment, there were three big men standing in the dimly lit courtyard illuminated by the moon. It was obvious that the one standing in the front was the one who spoke just now.

The man saw Widow Li rushing out desperately. After seeing him, it was as if he saw the savior of the world. He grabbed his sleeves tightly when he rushed up, opened his bright and rustling eyes, and said urgently: My son, I have already done what you asked me to do, shall we give me a sum of money as agreed, let me lead Bao'er away from Lijia Village, and I will hide my name from now on, Live carefully and never tell the second person what the young master entrusted to the concubine."

Looking at the little widow with shining eyes, the man finally understood why the widow looked at him like this.

In the eyes of this widow, he is like a fat sheep being slaughtered, waiting to be eaten by her.

The moment this thought came into that person's mind, a sneer appeared on the corner of that person's mouth.

The man stretched out his hand without hesitation and knocked Widow Li to the ground, looked at her wrinkled face from the pain, took two steps forward, and said coldly: "Our agreement? Isn't our agreement that you have to finish the whole thing before you can get the reward you deserve? Right now, you have messed up the matter and dare to raise the reward? Widow Li, do you think I'm stupid? Or yourself? Thinking too naively?"

Widow Li looked up at the man who could almost dominate her entire life, as if grabbing the last straw, she climbed up regardless of the pain in her body, and then dragged into the man's trouser leg, begging: "My lord, The concubine really tried her best. Originally, the concubine was about to collapse the Wen Family Medical Center according to what you said, but at this time, a young master appeared. Lies; this concubine was almost sent to the government, son, I really did my best, and I ask you to give me some hard work for the sake of doing this wholeheartedly."

Hearing Widow Li's crying words, the man couldn't hide the anger in his heart at this moment, and said: "You still dare to mention that person? Do you know who is the young master who jumped out of your mouth?"

"..." Widow Li raised her head and stared blankly at the pair of condescending eyes, as if under his eyes, her life was like an ant, as long as he moved his fingers, he could completely crush her .

The man sneered again, and said: "The son who messed with you came from the Gu family. In fact, he is not scary. What is really scary is the master standing behind him and ordering him to do this. You stupid woman , such a simple thing has been done by you, if I knew you were a failure, I should have chosen to let you be poisoned to death!"
