Chen Qing looked at the opened window and saw two sneaky shadows entering their yard. Chen Qing didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he got off the bed and found the wooden stick he placed behind the door.

As orphans and widowers, they always keep something close to them, but they haven't used it in the five years since Chen Qing came, and the surface of the wooden stick has become covered with a layer of dust.

When there was no movement outside, Chen Qing did not dare to walk out of his room rashly. Hearing them opening the door to his mother's room, Chen Qing did not dare to hold back for fear that they would do something detrimental to his mother.

He opened the door of his room softly, and saw these two sneaky people opening the door of his mother's room. Chen Qing swallowed, picked up the stick in his hand, and hit the man with a sudden blow. On the head of someone who is a little behind.

The man yelled and turned to look at Chen Qing.

It's Chen Si.

After Chen Si and Meng Zhuzi lost their jobs with Zhou Yuan, they felt guilty and embarrassed after being frightened by Zhou Yuan for a while, so they ran to the town to drink wine, but were kicked out because they had no money.

The two of them held a grudge, but they couldn't take revenge on Zhou Yuan. When they saw Zhou Yuan delivering things to Chen Qing's house today, they remembered the funeral their family had held before, and when Zhou Yuan came before, they knew that Chen Qing's family had obtained Meng Meng's gift. Tao's pension must be a lot of money.

The two of them drank some wine tonight and just did what they said, and came here. However, they didn't expect Chen Qing to be so alert. They didn't get anything yet, but they were knocked unconscious by Chen Qing's stick first.

Chen Si reacted and reached out to grab the stick in Chen Qing's hand.

Chen Qing was breathing rapidly. When Chen Si dodged over, he hit him on the head with another stick. This time, all Chen Qing's strength was used.

Chen Si was hit on the head twice by Chen Qing, drank again, and fell down along the wall.

When Meng Zhuzhu saw that Chen Si was fainting, he had unreasonable courage when he was in a panic. He wanted to snatch the stick from Chen Qing's hand. Chen Qing realized his action and immediately ran into the yard with the stick.

In his extreme panic, he forgot that he could still shout for help. He held the stick tightly. As Meng Zhuzi came closer to him, he was forced to retreat step by step.

"I'll kill you!" Meng Zhuzhu gritted his teeth, saw the right moment and walked towards Chen Qing. Chen Qing could not avoid it and planned to die with Meng Zhuzhu. But for a moment, his back seemed to hit a wall. wall.

Chen Qing was so frightened that he almost jumped up when he saw Zhou Yuan standing behind him, holding the knife that had killed people in his hand.

Chen Qing gasped for breath, and the wooden stick fell from his hand, making a muffled sound on the ground. He couldn't muster any more strength, and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

But he didn't fall down, so Zhou Yuan helped him up, but Chen Qing's legs were weak and he couldn't stand, so Zhou Yuan let go and let him sit slowly on the ground.

On a moonlit night, silence, and bright red blood, scenes flashed before Chen Qing's eyes. He groaned uncontrollably, and then fainted.

Meng Zhuzhu saw the shining cold knife in Zhou Yuan's hand and Zhou Yuan standing at the door like an evil god. He wanted to run out, but Zhou Yuan chopped him off with a hand knife, and then fainted.

Aunt Sun came out after putting on her clothes. When she saw Chen Qing fainted on the ground, she quickly took out Chen Qing's coat from the room and wrapped him up.

Zhou Yuan didn't pay attention to the two fainted people. His eyes just fell on Chen Qing's feet. In a panic, he didn't even wear shoes. Although his yard was cleaned very clean by Chen Qing, Chen Qing's My feet are still dirty.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Zhou Yuan asked in a deep voice.

Aunt Sun shook her head: "I'm fine. Ah Qing was alert at night and nothing happened. I guess he came here to steal money."

She lowered her eyes to look at Chen Qing who had fainted on the ground, and then panicked again: "A Qing, Ah Qing How was it?"

Zhou Yuan bent down and felt Chen Qing's breath: "I was probably too scared and fainted. It was nothing serious."

Aunt Sun was also frightened, but her mental quality was much better than Chen Qing's. First, he found rope from home and asked Zhou Yuan to help tie up the two people, and then wanted to move Chen Qing back to the room.

But her waist was weak, and although Chen Qing was very small, she still couldn't move Chen Qing back.

After Zhou Yuan tied up the man, he saw Aunt Sun holding her waist, unable to move Chen Qing on the ground at all.

"Auntie, can I help you?" Zhou Yuan's Adam's apple rolled up and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Hey, thank you very much." Aunt Sun rubbed her waist. "As I get older, I can't even carry A Qing as small as him."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and effortlessly lifted Chen Qing on the ground. When he stood up, Chen Qing's weight seemed to him as light as carrying a basin.

Aunt Sun walked beside him and opened the door curtain of Chen Qing's room.

Zhou Yuan put the person on the bed, not daring to look further, and walked out of the room politely. Aunt Sun covered Chen Qing with a quilt before following Zhou Yuan.

Looking at the two people tied up by Wuhua Da, Aunt Sun frowned, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Yuan came to her rescue: "I took these two people to my place. Tomorrow I will also say that they are resentful because I don't let them come to work and come to find trouble."

Aunt Sun nodded vigorously: "Thank you very much. , Thank you. "

Chen Qing is a widower after all. Even if these two people just wanted to steal money today, if they entered this yard, Chen Qing would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Zhou Yuan stood up and said that the two people were going to his house. This put aside Chen Qing's relationship and allowed Chen Qing to stand up straight in the village.

Zhou Yuan slipped a person into his hand and returned to his home. While the two were unconscious, Zhou Yuan tied them with a rope to a tree not far from home.

He simply didn't go back to his shed, dragging his knife and guarding the two men.

Chen Qing fell into a nightmare.

His eyes were blood red.

Chen Qing's father died at the hands of a thief.

Although their family was poor, the family of three lived a happy life. The father and younger father were not liked by the grandmother, so they separated the family early. The younger father made needlework, and the father farmed. The income could barely support the family of three.

But accidents often happen inadvertently. A bully in the village drank too much and broke into their house. He wanted to do something wrong to the little dad. The little dad trembled and hugged Chen Qing and hid. The dad was talking to the bully. During the pushing and shoving, he was stabbed to death by the bully, and the splattered blood dyed the world that Chen Qing could see red.

The younger father himself was not a strong-willed person, and he was even more helpless after the death of his husband. After hearing about this incident, his grandmother came to make decisions for his family, but the bully's family was a little powerful and offered to pay five taels of silver to settle the matter.

The weak father finally got a little tougher and said that he didn't want money, wanted to seek justice for his husband, and wanted to go to the county government to file a lawsuit. However, he was stopped by his grandmother and uncle's family. The grandmother's family took the money from the bully's family and wanted to file a lawsuit. Guan's little father was beaten, and the last bit of courage he had was wiped out.

The two of them were kicked out of the house, and the younger father took his life with him. Perhaps because life was too difficult, perhaps because of guilt for his dead husband, the younger father didn't think too much and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

What happened last night brought Chen Qing's dusty memories to the forefront. In his nightmares, it was the bright red color that his father finally fell in front of his eyes.

Early the next morning, Aunt Sun originally wanted to go with Chen Qing to ask Zhou Yuan about his plans, but Chen Qing didn't get up at dawn, so she went alone.

When Zhou Yuan was about to go out, he planned to take Chen Si and Meng Zhuzhu to report to the official.

Chen Si and Meng Zhuzhu woke up at dawn. When they opened their eyes, they saw Zhou Yuan sitting next to them with the same knife in his hand.

Chen Si and Meng Zhuzi were so frightened that they were tied to a tree and kept begging for mercy.

Zhou Yuan and others woke up and said, "You came to my house in the middle of the night because you were resentful because you were fired by me. You wanted to steal some things from my house, but I was alert and you were caught."

Chen Si He Meng Zhuzhu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes."

"It has nothing to do with other people's family, right?" Zhou Yuan wielded the long knife with a cold light without any effort.

"Yes, we hold a grudge."

"That's right, come with me to see the official." Zhou Yuan walked up to them, "If I hear any rumors, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"I know, I know. "The two men nodded quickly, "We will never talk nonsense."

Zhou Yuan then untied their hands and took them to the county government to report.

Aunt Sun walked to the door of Zhou Yuan's house. Zhou Yuan nodded to her, and Aunt Sun felt relieved. She was still worried about Chen Qing who hadn't gotten up yet, so she turned around and went home.

After returning home, Aunt Sun went directly into Chen Qing's room. She saw that Chen Qing's face was red. She stretched out her hand and found that his forehead was very hot, and it actually started to burn.

Chen Qing's consciousness was unclear, as if he was extremely frightened, and he kept shouting daddy. It looked like he was being possessed.

Aunt Sun quickly recited Amitabha and grabbed Chen Qing's hand: "Ah Qing, Ah Qing, don't be afraid, mother is here, mother is here."

Then Chen Qing slowly opened his eyes: "Mother?"

"Hey eh. "Mother is here, don't be afraid."

Chen Qing snorted, with tears still in his eyes: "Mother," it looked like he had been greatly wronged.

"Okay, okay, mother is here, don't be afraid."

Aunt Sun listened to his heartbreaking cry and gently patted Chen Qing's shoulder, and soon Chen Qing fell asleep peacefully again.

Chen Qing fell asleep all morning, but his body temperature did not drop at all.

There is no village doctor in Luohe Village. If the people in the village feel uncomfortable, they just go to the mountains to find some herbs to eat. In recent years, Aunt Sun and Chen Qing have both been in good health, so the family has not prepared these at all. medicinal materials.

Aunt Sun wanted to go to the mountains to find herbs, but she was afraid something might happen to Chen Qing at home alone. She found Aunt Liu and asked Aunt Liu if she had any medicine at home.

Aunt Liu quickly went back to the house and pulled out a handful of herbal medicine: "This should be for reducing fever. What happened to Chen Qing? Why did he suddenly become ill?"

Of course, I couldn't tell Aunt Liu what happened last night. Aunt Sun only talked about Chen Qing. Qing caught a cold.

Aunt Sun took the herbs and hurried home. Chen Qing still had a fever, his face was red and his eyes were swollen. He didn't know how long he had been crying in his dream.

After boiling the medicine, Aunt Sun found a handful of millet. Usually they were reluctant to eat fine grains, but today Aunt Sun made him glutinous millet porridge and steamed egg custard for him.

Zhou Yuan held a bag of medicine in his hand, and after some thought he walked to the door of Chen Qing's house.

Aunt Sun happened to be in the yard, saw him and opened the door for him: "How is it?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and gave the medicine bag to Aunt Sun: "This is the medicine prescribed in the town."

Aunt Sun took it After passing the medicine pack, he was stunned for a while before looking at Zhou Yuan: "What is this?"

Zhou Yuan said without changing his expression: "When I first entered the military camp, there was an enemy attack for the first time. I fainted from fright, and I had a fever when I woke up. "I think he is timid and needs it."

Aunt Sun said quickly, "Thank you very much. Ah Qing is still burning even after taking the medicine." "

Still burning?"

The aunt nodded and felt that Zhou Yuan was like a timely rain: "I'll give you the medicine money later. I'll go and prepare medicine for A Qing first. Thank you very much."

Zhou Yuan then took out a silver horn from his arms and said, "This is You accept the compensation from those two people."

"Ah?" Aunt Sun was a little confused, holding the silver horn at a loss. "How can I accept it?"

But Zhou Yuan had already disappeared.
