The rivers and lakes are full of vests

Fu Peibai walked over slowly, saw the incomplete bank notes in the mud, and also saw the broken silver in the hands of the two people who were fighting.

She probably guessed the reason for all this. People will not become more united under extreme suffering, and sometimes it will stimulate the most selfish and sinister part of human nature. She has a deep understanding of this, so she told Ni Zhi Be sure to hide the silver ticket and don't let anyone know it.

But now the worst has happened, her kind rescue has turned into the current tragedy, and a light silver ticket has become Ni Zhiniang's death talisman.

She walked up to Ni Zhi, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to touch him. Just as she reached out, she flinched back, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Zhi'er."

When Ni Zhi heard the voice, she raised her head suddenly, and after seeing the person's face clearly, she threw herself into Fu Peibai's arms, crying bitterly, "Brother, brother...brother, the house collapsed, and Auntie was crushed." Stop it, I called her, she shouldn't answer me, brother...what should I do, what should I do?"

Fu Peibai closed her eyes in pain, she embraced Ni Zhi with one hand, and stroked her back with the other, her lips trembling, "It's my brother's fault, it's my brother who hurt your mother, it's my fault."

Ni Zhi cried tremblingly, hugged Fu Peibai's neck tightly, and cried: "I listened to what my brother said, I, I didn't let others know that my brother gave me money, but they rushed in in the middle of the night to rob my brother. give me money.

They fought, the house collapsed, A Niang was buried below, I couldn't pull A Niang, A Niang... A Niang didn't move, brother, what's wrong with A Niang, is A Niang dead? ? "

After she finished speaking intermittently, she lay on Fu Peibai's shoulder and cried uncontrollably, her slightly long nails digging into the flesh of Fu Peibai's shoulder blade.

Huge raindrops hit Fu Peibai's face, and Ni Zhi's unceasing cries could be heard beside her ears. Her eyes were half closed, her expression was dim.

After a while, she pulled Ni Zhi away, stood up, and walked towards the two refugees who were fighting with heavy steps.

She didn't use any martial arts moves, she just raised her foot and kicked one of them's waist with full force, the kicked person immediately flew several feet away and crashed into a wooden house.

The remaining refugee was stunned. Immediately afterwards, he was grabbed by the hem of his clothes by the thin and silent young man in front of him and lifted off the ground. Without any warning, the next moment his whole body was thrown to the ground.

The muddy ground was soft, but the moment the back of his head touched the ground, he was still blinded by the impact. The muddy water splashed all around him and hit his face. The mud on his face was washed away, and at the moment when his eyes were clear, he also met that handsome but sinister face.

Fu Peibai clutched the refugee's skirt, her face was expressionless, but her eyes showed a strong evil spirit, she asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

The refugee stared at her face and recognized it after a while. This is the young man who came in yesterday evening, and the bank note naturally belonged to this man.

In fact, since Fu Peibai walked into this refugee alley, she has been locked by many malicious eyes. These refugees are sure that Fu Peibai is a kind-hearted and wealthy son who must have given the little girl a lot of money, so they came in the middle of the night Tan, sure enough.

It's just that the denomination of the bank note was beyond their imagination. It was agreed to split equally in advance, but under that staggering denomination, it was only a matter of a moment to turn against each other, and then things became more and more troublesome, which caused the refugee alley tonight. riots.

The refugee turned his head and asked out of breath, "Why?"

Fu Peibai pinched his chin, turned his head away, and forced him to look directly at him.

The rain from her cheeks kept falling on the faces of the refugees, making a tick-tock sound.

"She's just a little girl with a seriously ill mother. You guys did such insane things just to keep yourself alive! Are you still human?!"

She gritted her teeth with angry eyes, and her heart was full of anger, and she grabbed the refugee's skirt with increasing strength.

The refugee's neck was strangled by the skirt, but he smiled instead, contemptuously.

"What is a human being? If you can't live on, who else should you be? As long as you can live! You can let me be a dog!"

"You deprive others of the chance to survive in exchange for your own survival, and destroy your humanity. What's the point of living like this!"

The refugee laughed wildly, his withered and sunken cheeks trembling with laughter, and he weakly raised his hand, pointing at the chaotic scene around him.

"Then how do you live, like this? You don't see the sun, you are kept here in captivity, the master will give you food when you are in a good mood, and you will be hungry when you are in a bad mood, and you will be whipped twice from time to time. It's not as good as living like this, is it interesting?!"

"I just want to live! Live as a human being! Am I wrong?! I just want to be alive! You tell me! Am I wrong?!"

He roared hoarsely into Fu Peibai's ears, and his voice was accompanied by the rumbling thunder, which made Fu Peibai's ears buzz.

Fu Peibai's grip on the hem of his shirt gradually loosened, her heart was at a loss, and suddenly she couldn't find a place to vent her anger.

Yes, they just want to live. There is nothing wrong with wanting to live. It is the wrong way.

She stood up in a daze and returned to Ni Zhi's side. Her feet softened and she knelt down in front of Ni Zhi. A little girl who just lost her mother.

She buried her head on Ni Zhi's neck, feeling guilt and grief in her heart, she couldn't hold it anymore, warm tears oozed from her eyes and soaked on Ni Zhi's neck.

Ni Zhi was also crying, but she was tired and her voice was a little softer, leaving a slight sob, while Fu Peibai was crying silently.

Hidden in the darkness, Shiqi looked at the figures of one big and one small clinging to each other in the rainy night, clenched her fists, her fingertips turned white, and the raindrops hung on her eyelashes, making the scene in front of her hazy .

"Damn it, this brat runs fast enough."

A group of officers and soldiers yelled and chased here under the heavy rain. They wanted to draw their swords to deal with this ignorant boy immediately, but the scene in front of them made them stop their movements.

The sobbing and crying little girl, the young man kneeling silently, the dilapidated wooden house and the withered hand under the broken plank all show what kind of heartbreaking life and death happened here.

People's hearts are not stubborn stones, nor are they cold-blooded and ruthless.

The leader of the officers and soldiers withdrew their knives and yelled at Fu Peibai who was on the ground through the torrential rain: "I will pretend that I haven't seen you tonight, and you didn't come in from the archway, understand?"

After all, the leader of the officers and soldiers waved at his subordinates, "Let's go, withdraw."

Fu Peibai didn't move, and still kept his kneeling posture. Although the tears stopped, the rain kept slipping down from his temples and dripping down his face.

She felt a small hand touch her back and pat it gently, "Brother, don't cry, don't cry."

Ni Zhizhi's tender and childlike voice hit Fu Peibai's defenses in an instant, and a strong sense of sourness, guilt and self-blame all hit her heart, torturing her so much that she could no longer hold back.

She wept bitterly, weeping and moaning, "I'm sorry, Zhi'er, I'm sorry, I hurt your mother, I hurt you, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, my fault, I'm sorry."

Ni Zhi's bright black eyes were full of water stains. She shook her head and continued to gently caress Fu Peibai's back, comforting her like a little adult, "Brother is not wrong, he is a good person, it's not his fault."

Fu Peibai cried uncontrollably, and after a while, her emotions gradually eased, and the rain in the sky also eased.

She got up and cleared away all the broken wooden boards that were pressing on the woman. She couldn't bear to look at the woman's face, she turned her head slightly, closed her eyes, and hugged the woman's body by the waist.

The woman's body is so thin that only a skeleton is left, and it is as light as nothing in her hands.

Her voice was hoarse and dull, "Zhi'er, let's go."

When Ni Zhi saw her mother, she began to sob again. She hiccupped, grabbed the robe around Fu Peibai's waist, held it tightly, and followed Fu Peibai to the exit of Refugee Alley.

Two figures, one big and one small, passed through the endlessly fighting people, passed through the thin and desolate rain curtain, and came to the clean and tidy Chengdong Avenue.

At that time, the bustling street was hit by heavy rain, the pedestrians dispersed long ago, and all the bright lanterns were extinguished. Occasionally, a few passers-by hurried home with their hands covering their heads. Seeing Fu Peibai and the others, after a glance, Speed ​​up your steps and pass them straight.

Fu Peibai stopped a street peddler who was packing up his business, and asked about the location of Yizhuang in the city.

The boy was taken aback by the hostility she exuded, and pointed in the direction of Yizhuang embarrassingly.

The yizhuang in Fancheng is located in the western suburbs of the city. It is not big. The four directions of the Zhuangzi are lit with green lights, accompanied by misty drizzle, which looks gloomy. The guard of the yizhuang is a young man who is dozing off against the gate .

He was sleeping in a daze, and felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him. He subconsciously took out a consecration charm from his arms and held it up high. He closed his eyes and shouted, "Demons and ghosts, retreat quickly!"

His arms trembled slightly, and after a while, nothing strange happened. He opened a slit of his eyes and saw clearly that the person who came was a young man, and he was relieved.

He caught a glimpse of the other party with a child and a female corpse in his arms. He understood, and turned to let him go. He yawned and said numbly: "The third room on the left and right is empty, and you can buy copper coins all night. It's hot and you can't park it for more than three nights."

Fu Peibai nodded, and carried Ni Zhi's mother into the morgue that the guard had mentioned.

The room was not big, revealing a decaying smell. She felt Ni Zhi's grip on her robe was stronger. She gently placed the woman on the mortuary table, pulled a white cloth to cover it, and put Ni Zhi on her robe. Hug up.

The little girl was drenched all over, she was trembling slightly, not knowing whether it was cold, fear or sadness.

Fu Peibai hugged her tightly, walked out, and said to the guards: "I don't have any silver with me now, I will bring it to you later."

The man twitched the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "Sure, everyone is inside, don't worry about you running away."

After Fu Peibai whispered a thank you, he left Yizhuang with Ni Zhi in his arms.

Ni Zhi turned around, seeing Yizhuang getting smaller and smaller, and she was getting farther and farther away from her mother, she began to cry again.

Most of Fu Peibai's face was covered in the hazy rainy night, and she couldn't see the expression clearly. She walked hurriedly, "Zhi'er, brother will take you to the temple to stay temporarily tonight."

"What about Auntie? Auntie is afraid of the dark, I can't leave her there alone," Ni Zhi said, her small body began to twist and struggle, trying to jump off Fu Peibai.

Fu Peibai paused, and his men hugged Ni Zhi tightly, forcing himself to reply calmly: "Zhi'er is obedient, go with brother first, and brother will come back later to accompany your mother, listen to brother, okay?"

Ni Zhi struggled less, crying intermittently, "Really, really?"

"Really, brother will never lie to you."

Ni Zhi hugged Fu Peibai's neck tightly again, put her head lightly on her shoulder, and choked, "Okay."
