"Xiaoxi, there are only two fish left, sell them to me, my child just wants to eat fish."

"Okay, but it's not for sale, I'll give it to you."

"No, if you don't take money, I won't."

"Okay, then I'll give you a discount."

……

In the morning, the conversation between Aunt Zhang and himself was still clearly echoing in his ears. Looking at her dead body now, Zhang Xi couldn't believe it, and there was a buzzing in his head.

Did Aunt Zhang really die after eating my fish?Zhang Xi also began to doubt himself.

"Do you dare to say that you didn't sell fish to my wife today? I watched my wife start to foam at the mouth after taking a bite of the stewed fish. I didn't have time to ask the doctor, and she died! Later I tried that fish with a silver needle, and it was really poisonous! What do you have to argue about?!" The vicious man pointed at Zhang Xi's nose and questioned and insulted him.

Zhang Xi knew that he hadn't poisoned him, but he was speechless at the moment. After all, what he was facing was an accusation with solid evidence.

Seeing this, Uncle Lin quickly crawled to Zhang Xi's side, and Zhang Xi squatted down in distress.Uncle Lin held Zhang Xi's hand and said with tears, "Xiaoxi, I believe you would not do such a thing, let alone Aunt Zhang who likes you the most."

"Uncle Lin..." Zhang Xi held Uncle Lin's hand, full of emotion.

"If you want to arrest me, arrest me, and I will take all the responsibilities!" Uncle Lin suddenly said to the vicious man.

"If I catch you, will my wife come back to life?" the man asked back.

It was only then that Zhang Xi noticed that there were no officials from the Yamen in this group of people.

They didn't report to the police? !Thinking of this, Zhang Xi protected Uncle Lin, and asked the man, "What exactly do you want? Just say it!" It seems that this group of people came here with a purpose.

"Okay, refreshing!" said the man who claimed to be Aunt Zhang's husband, "It's the so-called murder for life, but I know that even if I kill you, my wife will not come back to life! I heard your The gold master is Mr. Ru, as long as you give me a hundred Zhu coins, I will let you go, and I will never report to the police to arrest you!"

Is it because of this again? !Zhang Xi finally understood.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint you, Ru Lianxi is not my benefactor!" Zhang Xi said the truth coldly.

Obviously, the man didn't believe it: "Hmph, I paid a lot of money to redeem someone for you, what is it if it's not the benefactor? I know everything very well! You want to scare me?"

Zhang Xi smiled wryly, why can't he tell clearly?

Sighing, Zhang Xi was firm: "I said that Ru Lianxi is not my benefactor. Believe it or not, since you said that murder pays for life, then you can take my life."

When the man heard this, he immediately became furious, and Uncle Lin also looked at Zhang Xi in surprise.

"Take my life if you want to pay for it, don't touch Xiaoxi!" Uncle Lin hurriedly said.

Looking at the father and son who love each other, the man became anxious, and his mouth was full of gunpowder: "You are all rushing to die, okay! Hit me!"

As soon as the other men got the order, they immediately surrounded them eagerly. Immediately afterwards, what fell on Zhang Xi and Uncle Lin was a rain of punches and kicks!Zhang Xi held his head tightly, and even more tightly protected Uncle Lin in his arms.Zhang Xi knew that with his current peculiar physique, he could recover quickly after being injured, so he had to protect Uncle Lin well, and let himself bear everything more.

The beatings lasted for a long time, until the men were tired and then stopped.Before leaving, the leading man spat out a few mouthfuls of disgust, and said a harsh word: "I won't report to the police, but I won't let it go, if you don't pay the compensation in place, you will be killed." Don't blame me for seeing and hitting once!"

After all, the group of people walked away.

Supported by Uncle Lin, Zhang Xi stood up staggeringly, and the two supported each other and walked back to the house.

"Xiaoxi, you've shed a lot of blood." Uncle Lin said in a tearful voice, feeling very distressed.

Zhang Xiqiang propped up a smile and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I am in good health and recovering quickly, but you are the one who suffered because of me, I really feel sorry for you, cough..." Zhang Xi couldn't help the pain Coughed up.

Uncle Lin hurriedly patted Zhang Xi on the back: "It's not your fault, it's all because of me that they are eyeing you, but you, Aunt Zhang..." After so many years, Uncle Lin has a lot of affection for Aunt Zhang , Now that Aunt Zhang died suddenly, Uncle Lin really couldn't accept it, and was very sad.

After the two returned to the house and sat down, Zhang Xi couldn't help blaming himself: "Uncle Lin, I really didn't know my fish was poisonous..." Aunt Zhang died.

However, as soon as Zhang Xicai opened his mouth, Uncle Lin interrupted him: "Xiao Xi, haven't you seen it yet? No matter how your Aunt Zhang died, her husband will depend on it."

Although I had this kind of thought in my heart, Zhang Xi didn't want to think about it any further. Hearing what Uncle Lin said, Zhang Xi calmly asked, "Why?"

Uncle Lin sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "This is the rule of Zicheng. People who have no status are always bullied by others! Generally, those who worship the benefactor usually live in the benefactor's house to serve , it’s not how good the condition of the benefactor’s house is, but if you live outside, you will inevitably become the target of extortion by others. Naturally, those benefactors are unwilling to spend more money, so they have to let their slaves live Go home! If you want to survive in this purple city, you either have to be able to bear the bullying, or if you can’t, you have to find a financial backer. Those with great ambitions can also work hard to become a financial host. This is what Yan Guo used to be The old system is also the golden rule of Zicheng today."

Hearing Uncle Lin's straightforward statement, Zhang Xi sneered: "But Ru Lianxi is really not my benefactor, he lent me all the money."

Uncle Lin shook his head: "But others don't think so."

After being silent for a while, Zhang Xi grabbed Uncle Lin's hand and said expectantly: "Uncle Lin, let's go, get out of here, is it better to go to any city?"

Uncle Lin's eyes were full of helplessness: "I'm not a person who can live for a few years. My only concern in this world is the first day of junior high school. He is in Zicheng. I look forward to hearing about him. I won't leave. "Xiaoxi, let's go, you shouldn't have to suffer, go back to where you came from, at least you have friends to rely on."

"Uncle Lin..." Zhang Xi didn't know what to say for a moment.Having been together for so long, Zhang Xi is already reluctant to leave Uncle Lin alone. With Uncle Lin's current situation, how can Zhang Xi have the heart to leave alone?

However, is it really that difficult to live in Zicheng?Zhang Xi was a little at a loss.
