brotherly innocence

In the night, a scream pierced the silence.

Qin Rong turned over and jumped up vigilantly, before he could put on his shoes and reach for his gun, he rushed to the corridor, Ah Pei, it was Ah Pei's scream.In the faint light and shadow of the floor lamp in the corridor, Ah Pei rushed forward rolling and crawling, his body was in a daze, and he murmured: "Ghost, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!"

"what!"

With a shrill scream, Ah Pei stepped on the air and rolled down the stairs.

"Pei'er!" Mother called out hoarsely, and ran over crying.

Qin Rong rushed forward and jumped down, helping A Pei who looked frightened.Qin Pei pointed to the upstairs and said in a panic: "Ghost, red tongue, green face and fangs, you want to eat me!"

The doors opened one by one, the lights were brightly lit, Qin Rong rushed to Qin Pei's room and kicked the door open, silently.

Chu Yaonan and Boss Qin also came after hearing the news. The lights were turned on, and the servants searched up and down. Only the window of the building was crackling open and closed, making a dull sound, and the shadows of the trees were dancing outside the window.Inside and outside the house, nothing strange was found, let alone the slightest trace.

"Isn't it a nightmare?" Chu Yaonan rubbed his eyes and asked tentatively.

"Ghost, ghost, blue face, long fangs and long tongue, hanging ghost." Qin Pei's nose was swollen, his face was covered with blood, three front teeth fell out, and he was in a terrible state of distress.He plunged into his mother's arms and cried loudly, "That house is haunted, I can't live, haunted, I don't want it!"

Boss Qin wandered around the room and came out and said, "Call the doctor quickly." Then he turned around and glanced at everyone and said, "Whether it's a real ghost, a fake ghost or an inner ghost, if she dares to show herself in the Qin residence, she will be with me, Qin Alang." An enemy. If she dares to come again and be caught by me, I will beat her to the [-]th floor of hell and never be able to recover, even if she is a human being or a ghost!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to hug Qin Pei and got up.

"Ah, it hurts." Qin Pei cried loudly.

Chu Yaonan tentatively said, "Father, he probably broke his leg, right?"

Qin Pei also ignored the shame, and sat on the ground in a state of embarrassment. Someone handed him a sofa towel to cover his shame, and Qin Pei cried loudly.

"Grandson, what's wrong with my good grandson?" The old lady ran out, hugged Qin Pei and cried loudly: "Silly boy, grandma said that changing the bed is easy to cause nightmares, but you don't listen. Let your father see you tomorrow morning." Ask the mage to offer sacrifices to the bed god for you to live in again."

"It hurts, grandma, I don't want that house anymore. Chu Yaonan's house is haunted!" Qin Pei cried loudly.

Qin Rong was startled, but in fact, his eyes had been staring at Chu Yaonan to see his flaws.It's just that Chu Yaonan's expression was peaceful, and there was nothing unusual. Hearing Qin Pei's words, he comforted him: "The house was also haunted when I was young, and my mother-in-law once invited a mage to do it."

The old lady was woken up, she nodded and said in pain: "It's all my fault, why did I forget about it."

After Qin Pei was carried away, Qin Rong stood there and looked at Chu Yaonan coldly. Chu Yaonan glanced at him and said, "Go and accompany him. The wind shaking the trees outside the window probably frightened him, so I will order him tomorrow." In that house, I heard that a concubine who hanged my father was wronged to death, saying that she had an affair with the adjutant, and was hanged in the building by my father and beaten in public. , I had no face to live, so I hanged myself. The pattern on the window lattice was designed by her own hands."

Qin Pei broke his leg and moved back to the original room.Chu Yaonan also refused to move back to the haunted house, so he lived in a guest room at the end of the corridor.

Qin Pei rolled down the stairs and injured his kidneys, and began to urinate blood. The mansion was busy up and down, and countless famous doctors were invited to see him.

On this day, when Qin Rong returned home, he saw Qin Pei, who was complaining coquettishly in his grandmother's arms, and everyone around him: "Grandma, you don't know where your grandson lived when he was a child, right? We built a chicken coop. We found a bigger coop and squeezed in. The door was covered with some straw to keep out the wind. Many children who fled like me froze to death at night. I was so lucky. "

Everyone was dumbfounded, the old lady's tears fell down in amazement, and when she looked at Niu Shi with trembling teeth and questioning eyes, Niu Shi turned her head to cover her tears.

"It's good if you can get the chicken coop. The little beggars are everywhere and we grab chicken coops in the ditches to avoid the wind and survive the winter. If the rich people find out, the housekeeper will use a shovel to start the fire. Look, look, I still have a scar on my head."

Qin Pei parted his hair, revealing an obvious scar.

The old lady yelled at Niu: "Chun Taoer, what's wrong with your lady you keep saying, that's how you serve the little master? The poor child left by Yanping, you, why are you so heartless, Yanping treats you like that? It's not thin, men will share it with you, you, you have the heart to let her son live in a chicken coop? You..."

Lifting the crutch in his hand, he knocked on Niu's head.

Boss Qin was so panicked that he hurriedly stood up to stop him. Qin Rong already had sharp eyesight and quickly strode forward, grabbed the crutch, and stared at the old lady resentfully.

"You, you turned against you! The uneducated bastard is really a lowly seed born by a maid!" The old lady was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say.

Boss Qin hurried forward and grasped Qin Rong's wrist in a panic, and shouted, "Rong'er, let go!"

The reproachful eyes stared at Qin Rong, but Qin Rong stared at the old lady unyieldingly, as if countless sharp arrows in his eyes were about to shoot her through.

"It's wrong, it's wrong!" The old lady was so angry that she beat her chest and cried.Niu was so panicked that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Old lady, you can fight, it is Chuntao who is incompetent, made the young master suffer, and suffered a lot with me. Old lady, please fight, don't worry about Rong'er, Rong'er If you're ignorant, turn around and let the master beat him to relieve your anger."

Qin Rong yelled at his mother: "Get up, you've been kneeling all your life, doesn't your knee still hurt?"

Qin Zhuangdong pulled Qin Rong away, yelled at him and said, "Brat, if you offend your grandma, you're committing suicide yourself, are your bones tight?"

Qin Rong suddenly let go of the crutch that was tightly held by his father. As soon as this end was loosened, Boss Qin clung to the other end, but staggered back a few steps and fell down on the couch.

"Boss, you, teach me a lesson for this little wild bastard. It's wrong, it's really wrong! The Qin family has never had such unfilial sons and grandchildren."

Qin Rong was filled with righteous indignation and asked: "He lives in a chicken coop, where does my mother live? Do you know? My mother used her body as a fence to block up the chicken coop for us in the ice and snow. If she sleeps all night, she will freeze to death." He ate grass and begged for food like a beggar? It was my mother who knelt down and kowtowed until her head was bloody and begged for food. She fed him first and then gave it to me. My mother secretly went to eat grass roots and bark to satisfy my hunger, and my stomach was so hard from the pain. Like bricks. The owner of the chicken coop sent dogs to bite us, but Mother left me alone, and pressed him Ye Pei under her body, her legs were ripped open and rotten, and she had to crawl to beg for food. You can't move anymore, so tell me, Rong'er, if mother dies, you have to promise mother to take care of your brother and go beg for him!"

Qin Rong panted heavily, with a faint choked sound, and forced tears into his throat, pointing to Qin Pei and angrily said: "My mother and son owe him, I don't know. I went to the street to beg for food when I was six years old, because my mother's leg was broken. I was beaten to the point of bleeding, I begged for food to feed him, and swallowed by myself. My mother said that A Pei was the elder brother, so I wanted to give in to my elder brother. I was almost beaten to death by a beggar, but fortunately, I was killed by Qing Dao Brother Jiang from the church saved my life, adopted me, and taught me to read and write. Master Jiang gave me money and asked my mother to send me to study, but my mother spent all the money on him and told me to let him study and do it first. Sir, in the future, our mother and son will have no worries about food and clothing. These years, I have worked hard in the rivers and lakes, and the money I earned has been given to my mother. My mother is not willing to eat and drink, so I spend it on him, going to the best noble schools, wearing foreigners' clothes Clothes, and compared with classmates to spend money, but mother is sick and reluctant to buy medicine. He is the eldest son of the Qin family, the young master, where were all your relatives when he was supposed to be the young master? You gave him a rich home earlier, Why bother him to live in a chicken coop and suffer so much?"

Everyone was speechless, the concubine and the young ladies began to sigh, the old lady opened her mouth in embarrassment, and Qin Pei plunged her head into her arms.

Qin Zhuangdong pulled Qin Rong and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second boy, I know you have suffered. But in this house, under the beams of the house, when you come in, you have to abide by the rules here. Think about it, Qingdaotang will do the same." Taught you that way, didn't you?"

Qin Rong struggled to shake off his second uncle's hand, then glanced at his father and said sharply, "Rule, it's been 18 years, where were you when our mother and son were wandering and suffering? Who gave us a rule? Now I, Ye Rong, have become a man upright. I don't care about the glory and wealth, how come a father comes out to set the rules for me, no need! I can't afford it." He took a few steps back to avoid the crowd, and looked around with hostile eyes.

"Rong'er, Rong'er, you are crazy." Niu cried, watching Boss Qin approaching step by step with horrified eyes, and kicked Qin Rong's leg.Qin Rong fell to his knees and struggled to get up again. Boss Qin kicked his boots behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "You are a drop of blood and a piece of flesh from Boss Qin's body. I will take it wherever you go. Get it back! You can't change it, so don't ask yourself. Go, kowtow to your grandma and confess!"

The old lady rubbed her teary eyes and shook her head, "Boss, let him go, don't embarrass the child. He said that, but we owe Yanping and Chun Tao'er master and servant. She is a maid, with two boys, in troubled times , but how did you come back alive? Peier, she was raised so well and well-educated. It's us, thanks to their mother and son."

After saying something, Niu was so flustered that he kowtowed and called "Old lady", and the old lady hugged her head and cried loudly.There were cries lingering on the roof beams, Qin Zhuangdong pulled Qin Rong up and said to the eldest brother: "Brother, the second boy is a wild pony, please train him slowly, I will let him go back to the room to rest first. I am afraid there will be trouble today One day, tired."

"Well, this baby boy is going to sleep when he's tired, let him go down." Boss Qin taunted.

In an empty house, Qin Zhuangdong tore off the style button of his neckline a few times, breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at Qin Rong who was lying on the bed, and said, "How stubborn are you? This time it's okay, Mandingjiangcheng knows you The big 'Qin' character is branded on the boy's ass." After finishing speaking, he smirked, sat down on the edge of the bed, touched Qin Rong behind him with his elbow and said: "When people walk in the rivers and lakes, it is fate to run into ghosts. Is there anything dissatisfying about you kid? If the found father is not him, well, what do you do if your biological father is a drunkard, gambler, murderer and murderer? At this age, I have heard of fathers denying their sons, but I have never heard of sons denying their fathers. You say, how good is your life, your second uncle has no sons, your father has no sons, the family Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, I have been waiting for my son for more than ten years. Alas, this is just you two brothers. Your father and grandma are so happy that they are afraid of being melted when holding your brother in the palm of your hand. In the Qin family Son, if you want the stars but not the moon, why are you not satisfied?"

When he came to his mother's room, several aunts and concubines were talking about buying silk and satin for autumn clothes around her. When they saw him coming in, they all got up, smiled and said goodbye, quite sensible.Only Jiu Yiniang pulled Qin Rong, couldn't help but tugged at his ear and said lovingly: "You little thing, why are you so stubborn, you can't suffer less."

If it was normal, Qin Rong would definitely turn his face, but at this time, Qin Rong only smiled back.

"Mother, have you been tired lately?" Qin Rong asked, sitting beside his mother.

"I'm not tired, I'm just hanging on for you, I'm afraid you won't be angry, and something will happen, which will annoy the master to suffer." Niu stroked his head, looked at him with pity, tears suddenly filled with tears: "Rong'er, do you hate your mother? You have been wronged the most these years. My mother found out about his whereabouts five years ago, but my mother didn't dare to tell her. What if she refuses to admit it? What if he still hates Pei Pei?" Damn, so what if it's bad for your brothers? If I knew he didn't have a son, I would have sent your brothers to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan early, so that they would suffer less."

Qin Rong thought to himself, this farce is finally over.Perhaps it was a bitter drama for 18 years. Wang Baochuan stayed in the poor kiln alone for [-] years.
