A young husband dressed as a violent butcher

This summer, the air is sweltering, and the cicadas' calls are extremely anxious. The whole Xinghua Village seems to be packed in a big pot, and then set on firewood to cook.All were screaming and screaming, too busy to take care of themselves.

The atmosphere in Xiong's house was particularly dull. At today's dinner table, Mother Xiong and Father Xiong didn't even eat a bite of food after doing heavy farm work.

Xiong Zhuangshan is a little older, fourteen years old, and already sensible.There are three younger brothers and four younger sisters under him who are vaguely aware of things. Only the youngest fifth sister still doesn't understand anything. She is very happy to see that the whole family does not eat. It is rare for her to eat Belly full and round.

After the fifth sister had finished eating and made a sound of fullness, mother bear and father bear suddenly woke up from the trance.

"It's finished, let's pack it up." In fact, except for Fifth Sister, the others didn't even speak.

But no one in the Xiong family raised any objections, and they all got up to clean up.When I sat back at the table again, the atmosphere was so depressed that it seemed to be a taut string, which might break due to extremes at any time.

"That..." Mother Xiong seemed to be unable to say the next words, but she couldn't do without saying this, so she could only close her eyes, and said with a sigh of relief: "You all know, Lizheng just went door-to-door to notify , Each family asked for a strong man to join the army."

Xiong's family, Xiong Tie and Xiong's father are all old enough.Yu Chao stipulates that he can join the army at the age of 16, and Xiong Tie just turned 16 this year.

For a moment, everyone looked at Father Xiong and Xiong Tie suddenly, all of them looked panicked, even the youngest Fifth Sister finally realized that she was afraid, and burst into tears.

Mother Xiong was already flustered, and now she was even more impatient to coax this ignorant child who would not watch the situation and cry, so she said to Si Niangzi: "Go and take your sister back to the house, there is nothing for you two sisters here."

Before the fourth lady led the fifth sister to leave, she looked back at the few people sitting at the table with a vague understanding. Under the dim light, everyone looked dignified.

Fourth Lady knew what it meant to join the army, she was going to die and never come back.The imperial court always conscripted soldiers and took away countless people, but never saw anyone come back.

Li Laizi from the village was recruited at home that year. His parents loved the younger one and pushed him out. He was powerless to resist, and broke his legs when he went up the mountain the next day.But the villagers all said that Li Zizi's legs were not broken, but he broke them himself.In order not to join the army, Li Zizi was really cruel to himself.

After Li Zizi's parents knew about it, they almost didn't eat Li Zizi raw, but his legs were broken, and the court wanted someone, so he could only go to his most beloved youngest son.

When he left, his youngest son was dragged away by force, and the old couple chased them two miles away, crying hoarsely, and both fainted.

Afterwards, that youngest son never came back, until the death of Li Zizi's parents, there was still no news of that youngest son, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers of Xinghua Village, joining the army is tantamount to going to die. This is asking the whole family to push one person out to die. How can the atmosphere not be depressed.

However, as the hostess of the family, no matter how uncomfortable the bear mother felt, she still had to make a decision.

Suppressing the pain in her heart, she said: "Our family must also produce someone. You all know that your father is not in good health. He is usually sick and always takes medicine. That's why you uncles and grandmas have opinions. Separated us. With your father's body, let him go to join the army, before the war is just on the way, he has to die on the way, it is basically to send him to die."

"If your father dies, our family will be broken up. Your grandma won't tolerate me continuing to dominate the family. How will you live if you sell me?" Mother Xiong said and cried. .

At that time, Xiong Zhuangshan was just an ordinary child, growing up at the knees of his parents, no different from all 14-year-old children.He was still a naughty child who hadn't experienced the tyranny of bloody human life.

Therefore, the bear mother has this saying.

"So, your father can't go, or our whole family will die."

Mother Xiong and him had discussed this result long ago. Father Song decided to go by himself when he received the news, but Mother Xiong stopped him and cried and said this, and Father Xiong was shaken.He is a man, and he always protects his sons, daughters and wives.

Mother Xiong continued: "So, so I plan to draw one of you three."

"What?" After Mother Xiong finished speaking, Xiong Tie raised his head in shock, "Mother, besides Father, I am the only one in the family who has turned 16, so I should go."

Mother Xiong hurriedly said: "This is a matter of life and death. The three of you are the sons of our Xiong family. I can't favor any of them. I will leave it to fate. Whoever fate chooses will go. Blame it." I can only blame my fate, and it’s not bad for anyone.”

Xiong Tie still wanted to defend himself: "But..."

Mother Xiong interrupted him, "No, but, Xiong Zhuangshan, Xiong Zhu, what's your opinion?"

Xiong Zhuangshan has big shoulders and a round waist. At the age of 14, he is a full head taller than his 16-year-old brother.

He shook his head, "No problem, this is what we should do as sons."

Mother Xiong choked with tears and said, "Okay, okay, my sensible son."

Although Xiong Zhu was only 12 years old and his body was still very thin, he nodded firmly and said, "I agree."

And so the draw began.The Xiong family's lottery is very simple, that is, the tips of the chopsticks are dyed red with flower juice, and whoever draws the red-dyed one will go to the battlefield.

Mother Xiong got up and took the chopsticks wrapped in a square scarf and put them on the table, and said in a trembling voice, "Ah Shan, you come first."

On the contrary, Xiong Tie, who was just about to get up, was stunned for a moment, but he still listened to A Niang and sat back.Xiong Zhuangshan didn't doubt that he was there, got up to draw lots, and in the dark, he randomly touched a lottery, and he was also scared and nervous to death.The moment Xiong Zhuangshan put the chopsticks on Xiong Zhuangshan's hands, both mother and father froze.

As soon as Xiong Zhuangshan pulled out the chopsticks, Mother Xiong straightened up and said nervously: "Quick, show it to A Niang."

Xiong Zhuangshan handed the chopsticks to Mother Xiong, but for a moment he couldn't tell what expression was on Mother Xiong's face, it seemed to be crying but not crying and not smiling.

"Ah Shan... was hit."

The 14-year-old child fell apart in an instant, but he still took responsibility firmly.Instead, Xiong Tie and Xiong Zhu cried bitterly until he fell asleep crying.

Xiong Zhuangshan didn't feel it all night, he got up in the middle of the night, groped into the kitchen with the candle, and rummaged to find the chopsticks.Because the Xiong family only had one pair of chopsticks per person, it was very convenient to find any more, and soon the three chopsticks were placed on the stove by Xiong Zhuangshan.Looking closely at the candles, the ends of the three chopsticks were dyed, and the coloring was difficult to wash off. In addition, the bear mother was so preoccupied at night that she didn't notice that the dyed chopsticks were not cleaned.

At this point, the truth came to light, why Mother Xiong asked Xiong Zhu, who was obviously weak and young enough to participate, to participate, and why Xiong Tie was already preparing to draw lots, but Mother Xiong asked him to come first.

It turned out that the three chopsticks were all colored, whoever was the first to draw them would go to the battlefield.

At this moment, mother Xiong's voice suddenly came from behind Xiong Zhuangshan, a little nervous and cautious, "Ah Shan, it's so late, why are you still awake?"

Xiong Zhuangshan turned his head and slowly moved his body away, clearly revealing the stove that was originally covered by him.

The three chopsticks lay quietly on it, and the mother bear's face paled instantly, she shook it, and almost staggered and fell.

"Why?" Xiong Zhuangshan asked calmly, completely beyond his age.Under such dim candlelight, Mother Xiong couldn't see Xiong Zhuangshan's eyes clearly, but she could feel her son's heart was ashamed at this moment. Xiong Zhuangshan seemed to push her far, far away in an instant, so far that she would never return to the past mother-child relationship .

At this moment, mother bear instinctively wanted to say something, she didn't want her son to hate her, leave this house with the deepest hatred for her, go to the battlefield, and even die in battle.

"Ashan, Ashan, it's not what you think. You know that your father can't go. If he goes, no one in our family can live well. Your third brother is only 12 years old. How can he go to the battlefield? Even if I agree, The official will not agree. Although your elder brother is full of age, he is not as tall as you, and his strength is not even half of yours."

The mother bear cried so loudly that she forgot to control the volume and was only eager to explain, "Ah Shan, you were born with supernatural powers when you were young. When you were young, you fought with children. You can fight two or three years older than you. Now that you have grown up, The divine power has also grown. You can carry a cow by yourself. This is something no one in the village can do. Therefore, Ah Shan, you can only go, and only you can survive. Your father and your elder brother and third brother Go, only to die."

Mother Xiong yelled too loudly, which alarmed Father Xiong. Hearing her loud excuse, Father Xiong ran out with his bare feet without putting on his shoes.

"Ashan, don't blame your mother, I made the decision on this matter."

Mother Xiong hurriedly patted her chest and argued: "No, I'm in charge of this matter. You know your father's character, and he can't control any of our family's affairs."

Xiong Zhuangshan looked at his loving parents in normal times, and suddenly turned into an executioner who conspired to drag him out to die, and suddenly he didn't know when his parents were real.

Xiong Zhuangshan asked hoarsely, "Why?"

"Ah Shan, don't blame A Niang, only you are suitable, you are born with supernatural powers, only you can survive." Mother Xiong was still dying, explaining in vain.

"I asked, why didn't you tell me directly." Xiong Zhuangshan paused, "If you tell me directly, I will go too, as long as you tell me."

"I..." Mother Xiong opened her mouth, as if her voice suddenly became hoarse, and she couldn't say a word of excuse anymore.

What to say, she never thought of telling him clearly.

Seeing Mother Xiong's speechless look, Xiong Zhuangshan understood everything, and he walked straight out of the kitchen without saying a word.

Xiong Tie and Xiong Zhu hurried over after being woken up by the quarrel, and stopped Xiong Zhuangshan who was about to walk out of the door, "Second brother?" "Big brother!"

Xiong Zhuangshan paused, ignored the two brothers of the Xiong family, and only said to the two elders of the Xiong family: "I will go to join the army, no matter if you let me go directly, or like this... I will go, because you gave me This fate."

Xiong Zhuangshan didn't know how to walk in the village over and over again, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When he returned to Xiong's house at dawn the next day, Xiong Zhuangshan changed. , The heart is like stagnant water, and there will be no more ripples.

After he came back, Xiong Zhuangshan didn't say anything, he packed his luggage, went to the officials, gave them a few copper coins, his age was changed, and he went to the battlefield instead of his father and brother.Officials don't care how many people join the army, as long as they can recruit people.

Even because he was the only one who was so straightforward, he was praised by the officials who came to Xinghua Village to recruit soldiers.But Father Xiong and Mother Xiong wept bitterly, regretting their mistakes.If she could do it again, she must explain the truth to the child, instead of playing such a dark trick.

Xiong Zhuangshan left, with this heavy weight in his heart, the answer that his mother would never give.

No matter how tall he is, Xiong Zhuangshan is still just a child in his heart, a child who grew up at the knees of his parents and has never experienced anything.

The first time he went to the battlefield, he was distracted by thinking about why A Niang treated him like this, and was pierced by a spear in his chest.After he reacted, relying on his strength, he killed the man instead.But his chest was pierced through, and he developed a high fever afterwards. Everyone thought that he was bound to die. When even the accompanying doctors shook their heads, Xiong Zhuangshan miraculously survived.

Those who walked back from the gate of hell finally had a different mood.He began to forget to ask why, and just wanted to survive.

When the Xiong family was complaining endlessly because they were tired from farming, Xiong Zhuangshan did not know how many times he was on the verge of life and death. It became a pile of yellow sand, and even the bodies couldn't tell who was who, and there was no separate tombstone, and they were buried forever in a foreign country.

In this way, wandering on the edge of life and death day after day, facing his own death and the death of others every day, Xiong Zhuangshan changed, became tyrannical and vicious, cruel and cold-blooded, from a flesh and blood person to a numb killing tool.

Later, due to his natural supernatural power, King Zhenbei noticed him. This was not the beginning of luck, but the approach of a nightmare.

After being taken away by King Zhenbei and undergoing such cruel training and combat, Xiong Zhuangshan realized that the barracks he was in was simply heaven, and this is the real hell. Be it your own or the enemy's.

He never thought that he could return to Xinghua Village alive, but he still came back alive and met Tang Shou. His salvation, if his heart has been weathered and turned into stone, then Tang Shou is water. The water pierced the stone, and he soaked him, so that he had him in his heart, and he couldn't let go of him for the rest of his life.

Later, Tang Shou asked Xiong Zhuangshan countless times about the suspicion between him and Xiong's father and mother, but Xiong Zhuangshan never said clearly that everything was over, and he couldn't bear Tang Shou's distress, let alone his self-blame.

Xiong Zhuangshan was afraid that if Tang Shou knew the truth, he would blame himself if he was so full of himself, so he didn't tell him explicitly, and always mentioned it vaguely.But with that person's exquisite heart, he finally knew.He didn't move, but Xiong Zhuangshan still found out about his revenge. He no longer helped anyone in the Xiong family, and quietly withdrew all privileges.

Xiong Zhuangshan never blamed Tang Shou for helping the Xiong family, because earlier Tang Shou didn't like him and didn't want to stay with him. He just wanted to ease the relationship between him and the Xiong family, and he always had a helper in case of trouble.Later, he didn't take the initiative to tell him. The Xiong family would not mention it, and the villagers dared not speak, so Tang Shou was kept in the dark.

Xiong Zhuangshan really had nothing to thank fate for his cruel life, but the moment Tang Shou opened his eyes, he began to thank fate.If all the cruelty before was just the price for sending him to his side, then he was willing and willing to do so.

Yes, Xiong Zhuangshan knew that this Tang Shou was not the original one.

Because the original Tang Shou was watched by Xiong Zhuangshan. He had been a dead man for so many years, and he wouldn't even make a mistake in judging life and death. Then he would not be able to return to Xinghua Village.

Although the two are in the same body, the previous eyes dodge the eyes that never dared to look at Xiong Zhuangshan, with low self-esteem, wicked eyebrows, and full of scheming.

But when this one woke up again, his eyes were bright and open. When he looked at him, he was not afraid of everyone. Although he was also afraid, he was very calm. He would not face the fear head-on to panic, turn around and hate him for not dying on the battlefield.

When the dead soldiers followed King Zhenbei or went out to perform special missions, they had seen many strange things, so Xiong Zhuangshan guessed a certain possibility at once.

Later, the person who suddenly became squeamish, the person who suddenly put him in his heart, suddenly made a lot of strange things, and even the person with the status of King Zhenbei who had never seen anything used, made Xiong Zhuangshan more sure of his heart. guess.

But he never said or asked, he just took it as fate's arrangement to compensate him, he was afraid that if he asked, fate would take him back, and everything would turn into a mirror image.

So he is silently guarding, guarding his salvation, and guarding Tang Shou's secret from being discovered.

This is also why Xiong Zhuangshan was so determined to divorce his wife after the previous Tang Shou eloped and was found, but not only did not divorce his wife when Tang Shou woke up again, but instead kept strict supervision all the time.

Because Xiong Zhuangshan knew from the beginning to the end that there are two souls in the same body, and he clearly knew that the soul he promised life after life was the later one.

I only wish to be with you until death!
