Hero Town to the north of Huaishu Village is a place where heroes are born.Walking on the streets of Hero Town, you will find that four or five out of ten young people here are great heroes, and two or three out of ten old people are former heroes.

The heroes swaggered through the dilapidated houses and messes all over the street. Their turbans were worn crookedly, their skirts were wide open, their sleeves were rolled up above the elbows, revealing their chests, and they had all kinds of crude tattoos on their arms. It was flies and bedbugs who stabbed people.

This is the most chaotic place in the entire Yongping Mansion. If someone is killed here, it is almost impossible for the people to sue the officials and not correct them. Therefore, many people in the Jianghu like to come here for an appointment.The heroes of the rivers and lakes have a good face and a good reputation. There is no tomorrow, they often go whoring and gambling, and spend a lot of money, which makes the hero town very prosperous.

Where the business is prosperous, it is often controlled by local gangs. Today's largest gang in Hero Town is called the Unyielding Gang, and the current gang leader Lu Fengchun established the Unyielding Gang.He is also considered a legend in the martial arts world, with a disabled right leg, but he is famous for his self-made set of 72-way dead wood marksmanship.

Ji and Qin are going to meet the Lord Lu who threatened to break Mrs. Song's legs, and ask him where the dagger in his son's hand came from.

People in the town said that Lord Lu was not in the gang today. Because of his good brother Sai Zhang Fei's birthday, he took his gang members to the garden east of the town to drink and listen to a play.

The garden in the east of the town does not prohibit outsiders from going in to listen to the opera and join in the fun.Ji and Qin entered the garden amidst the crowd, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.The heroes around were dressed in all kinds of strange clothes, and even their looks were a bit strange. The two of them stood among those people in simple warrior costumes.

Ji Shuliu became embarrassed, and at this moment, he heard a woman's scream from the stage: "Little sister, you died so hard—"

The sound of blowing and beating stopped suddenly, and the entire garden was silent, and all the heroes listening to the play unexpectedly fell silent by coincidence.

Ji Shuliu was stunned by the heart-piercing female voice, his eyes fell on the stage, and he saw a red-clothed actress kneeling beside a disheveled girl lying on her back, covering her face with her hands, her head raised, her chest violently The ups and downs of the earth are like questioning why the sky is unfair.

Beside her, a woman in brocade clothes hid listlessly, and a man dressed as a doctor shook his head and sighed as he left the stage, only the actress was "alive" on the stage, under the bright red dress, her figure was extremely lonely .

The girl lying on the ground suddenly struggled to half sit up, grabbed the hands of the actress in red, and called, "Sister."

The elder sister said in surprise: "Little sister, you have come back to life!"

The younger sister stared wide-eyed and said: "When my mother lost her temper, if you hadn't run away and split half of the beatings for me, I wouldn't be able to die. Sister, murder pays for life, you have to avenge me—"

After finishing speaking, the little girl didn't wait for her sister to refuse or agree, she fell back straight, her body stiffened, and she died out of breath.

The soundtrack, which had been silent for a long time, sounded slowly. It was the melodious and miserable sound of Huqin, interspersed with the sound of flute sobbing.The actress in red wailed "Ah!", stood up staggeringly, drew out the long sword around her waist, and danced wildly to the clumsy soundtrack, singing while dancing, and chanting a few words in the strong local dialect of Yongping Prefecture from time to time , the voice is hoarse, every sentence is shouted out.

...Maybe it doesn't sound good, but it's really sad and angry, much like a girl who just lost a loved one.

The younger sister has been taken care of by her elder sister since she was a child, and there is a deep friendship between the sisters.The elder sister, who was in pain, wiped her tears and cursed at the world, father and mother.

She scolded her father for going far away to do business in a foreign country, only sending money and not returning home, leaving her mother alone in an empty house, becoming increasingly irritable.

She scolded her mother for being moody and ruthless, for beating and insulting her own flesh and blood all day long, treating them like domestic slaves, and beating her sister until she vomited blood and died just to sweep the floor and missed two dead leaves.

She scolded the gods of heaven and earth for their blind eyes, causing the innocent to die young with hatred, and leaving the assailant unscathed.

She swung her sword upwards and pointed at the sky, her body crooked as if she was drunk, and she said tragically, "Oh my god—what is your retribution? If you don't do anything—I'll make that poisonous woman pay her life debt!"

But this life debt is not easy to repay after all.

The elder sister wanted to report to the official, but she was punished by beating others, but she was not punished in the name of discipline for beating her own daughter; The killer is actually a virtuous gentleman, shocked by the unfilial nature of this rebellious woman, and intends to do justice for the heavens and get rid of this evil animal.

The virtuous killer chased after her sister with a shining machete, and ran back and forth on the stage dozens of times, which was dangerous.Another small red figure floated out from the corner at some point, leading the killer to step on the air and fall off the cliff.

The younger sister's ghost found her, afraid of the yang energy in her body, and stopped timidly at the other corner of the stage.She said that she wanted to take her own life, but she was too young when she died, and she was a weak little ghost when she became a ghost. She only dared to wander in this wilderness, and could not enter the city at all.

The elder sister and younger sister cried for a while, lost their souls, and returned home alone.The lingering fear of her mother's accidental beating and killing of the youngest daughter still persisted, and it was rare for her to say kindly to the eldest daughter that we are the only ones left in the future, let's have a good time, you should be more obedient, and I should keep my temper in check.

My sister deliberately asked, the government is ruthless, and if you kill someone, you will pay with your life?The mother answered easily, filial piety is the way, and it doesn't matter if you kill your daughter.

My sister turned her face away and faced the audience, showing an unusually ferocious smile.

Ji Shuliu actually laughed coldly at her, and leaned against Qin Songfeng.Looking at the heroes around him, they naturally knew what was going to happen next, and winked at the actress on stage.

In the middle of the night, my elder sister was wandering outside her mother's bedroom with a long sword, but before she raised one leg and stepped through the door, countless gods and monsters suddenly appeared in the void, binding her firmly with invisible ropes, and earnestly persuaded this innocent girl Girls should not perversely harm others and themselves, and commit a major crime of disobedience that is hated by both men and gods.

My sister asked stubbornly, if I come back to take revenge after I die, is it considered disobedience?

The gods and monsters replied one after another that the kindness of parents is nothing more than skin, and there will be no parents and children after death.

My sister said, let's wait for revenge after death.

The invisible rope was untied, and the elder sister looked up to the sky and smiled, but she did not hesitate to kill herself on the spot.

The actress who was acting seemed to have practiced some kung fu, she fell straight back and hit the stage heavily, in exchange for a burst of earth-shattering applause.

A blood-red cloth silently covered the entire stage, and the actress who committed suicide got out from under the red cloth and turned into a female ghost in white.She laughed wildly, and sang: "You nourish me with your flesh and blood, and I will throw away that skin, and I will not be favored by you!..."

From this moment on, no matter day or night, that cruel woman could never fall asleep again, and would be woken up by unexplained stones and strange noises when she fell asleep.Before she had time to mourn for her eldest daughter's suicide, she was almost driven mad by all kinds of harassment.Even the most brilliant Taoist priests could not suppress the rage that would rather commit suicide and turn into a ghost to come back for revenge.

In the end, the woman had a splitting headache and couldn't take it anymore, so she hanged herself on the beam of her house with a piece of white silk.The older sister who had turned into a ghost hugged the younger sister who had already turned into a ghost, and smiled as she watched her mother die before she died. She sang a gentle hypnotic song and floated away gently.

After a moment of silence, there was an overwhelming roar of applause. Only then did Ji Shuliu realize that his face was wet and shed a lot of tears, and he hurriedly rubbed against Qin Songfeng's shoulder.

"It's quite miserable." Qin Songfeng raised his hand and patted Ji Shuliu's head as a sign of comfort, and leaned closer to his ear, "Do you think this scene has anything to do with the Su family? That ghost of the Su family is also wearing white clothes, and he is still there." A bloody cloth was tied around his neck and he pretended to kill himself."

Ji Shuliu turned his head and thought for a moment: "But didn't the people in the village say that there is a "Ni Pu Biography" that specifically talks about the Su family? And last night, the man tied a cloth around his neck, maybe it was just to cover his Adam's apple."

The two were whispering when they suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice. When they looked back, they saw the foreigner who was asking questions in Huaishu Village yesterday.The outsider said to a middle-aged villager: "Uncle, this "The Story of the Nizi" is not as good-looking as the "The Story of the Servant" just now. After all, it is my own mother. How can I kill it as soon as I say it?"

His uncle nodded again and again: "Hey, the atmosphere in this Hero Town is not good, it's not as good as people in our village who pay attention to filial piety."

Ji Shuliu curled his lips slightly, who would have thought that what was in his heart was spoken out by another person.

A dark-skinned little boy of twelve or thirteen was passing by in a shabby but clean dark blue thin cloth. What kind of filial piety does a poisonous woman talk about?"

The village man looked at the little boy with disdain, and sneered: "I've seen a lot of little bastards like you. I'm useless. I was beaten by my mother and father, so I went to the show to vent my anger. I want you to know that you came to see "" Biography of Rebellious Son, I must have your skin peeled off."

The little boy laughed loudly and said loudly: "Listen, this old guy said, if my father knows that I came to see "Ni Zi Zhuan", he will take my skin off!"

Many young men next to him laughed wildly along with the little boy, as if they were vaguely flattering.

These men don't look like good people at first glance. The outsiders showed fear in their eyes, and the village man's face was also a little gray, and he said angrily: "You are not sensible, you will not know what it means to be pitiful until you grow up and have a son." The hearts of parents in the world."

The little boy raised his face and said proudly: "My father is the best father in the world, and my mother is the best mother in the world. How many parents in the world are worthy to compare with my parents? Those who love their mother and don't love them will pity the hearts of parents in the world!"

The village man's face was flushed with anger, he looked at the local ruffians around the little boy, after all he didn't dare continue to argue, he dragged his nephew away in a hurry.

The little boy turned around and came to Ji Shuliu's side. He suddenly calmed down his anger just now, and said seriously, "Little brother, I'm actually here to look for you. Just now you cried halfway through the play, right?" No? You must be a good man."

It was only then that Ji Shuliu noticed that although the child was not fat, his face was unusually round, and even his eyes were round. Although his skin was very dark, he was actually very cute.He nodded and said: "This play is really well written, and the actors are also good at acting."

The little boy said: "This play actually originated from a real incident in our hero town."

Ji Shuliu immediately said in awe: "I would like to hear the details."
