Ten Mile Room

"It's endless rain!!"

The fourth wife took off her rain boots and complained.

She picked up a gourd ladle, filled water from the vermilion lacquer old wooden barrel in front of the house, washed her feet, and then went barefoot into Jiang Gezi's main room.

It rained for five whole days, and the three groups of people who went out to look for the Meng family all came back one after another, and this is the last group today.

"How, did anyone find it?"

The fourth wife entered the room, putting down the portable three-layer black hexagonal lacquerware lunch box in her hand, and inquiring about it with concern.

The simple food box was opened, there was a layer of bean bags, a layer of sugar bags, and a small pot of small pickles with sesame oil.

Uncle Huang took the sugar buns from the Fourth Wife, first nodded his thanks, and then shook his head helplessly.

The warm steamed stuffed bun was put by his mouth, and he couldn't eat it because he was upset, so he put it back as it was and said:

"It's a waste of time, hey... A Xu has met his parents, good and bad, and his mouth is dry..."

The old man shook his head helplessly.

It's useless, people just don't admit it.

Even people are not afraid to call the police here, why?Because once the police were called, it would be He Mingchuan and the three of them who were damaged, blood relatives all over the yard.

A mean person is always fearless.

The Meng family has been pointed out by others, and they are not afraid of turning their faces here.

People just insisted that there is no such thing!

Even, they don't mind calling new neighbors to comment together. Is your son sick?

Add [-] guan to me properly?

When you say this, no one really believes it.

People also said, what kind of people are their girls?Can you also fancy a boy in the country?He is a high-achieving student in a private art short high school in Zhongzhou, and he will be a master in the future...

Even the old eyes of the airship station couldn't find it.

No one knew the real name of that person, so naturally there was no way to find it.

Some people have a conscience, while others don't.

If you don't have a heart, you don't necessarily think that you have done something wrong.

Since Jiang Gezi's house opened its doors and became the deacon's hall, the front hall has the meaning of a public community.

Every day, people come and go in the neighborhood, and they have everything to say. All in all, everyone is used to discussing here before the matter is over.

They come up with all kinds of ideas and feel that they are reasonable, but when a reasonable person meets a villain like the Meng family, their reasoning becomes unclear.

Someone put down the bowl helplessly, and cursed loudly: "Grow up eating shit!! That's a bad family!"

What a simple truth, those who are beneficial to me are all good people, and those who are harmful to me are all bad people.

This is the simple worldview of Laosanxiangzi.

Lian Ci sat on the wooden stairs behind the screen in the main room, listening to the excitement with his legs crossed, with a book of civil law on his lap.

He heard the words of the neighbors who were filled with righteous indignation, and he smiled after hearing them.

These opinions are too simplistic and naive.

bad guy?

They have never seen anything worse, nor have they seen anything more filthy, so they judge the world like this.

Why are Changhui County, Changde County, and Chang'an County the poorest counties in the Eastern Continent.

Why did the Li family in Kyushu tolerate the foreign surname Wang for more than 800 years, and why they suddenly couldn't bear it decades ago.

Could it be that the foreign surname Wang has a bad relationship with the Li family?

Whose pockets did the profits exploited from the common people end up in?

The collapse of the political power of Waixing Wang was because he rejected Kyushu's military layout along the coast. Since he was disobedient, there was no need for it to exist!

This is the root cause.

As for the various miserable fates of the common people in the past 800 years, they have never been important.

Lian Ci lightly touched the book on his knee. This book was very thick, and the explanation and sentencing of the crime of robbery were clearly explained in the book.

And the pigeon told him that if he wants to call the police, he can call the police, and if he wants to pursue the case, he has no objection.

Yes, the pigeon has no objection, but he is reluctant to give it to himself.

Human relations, world relations, legal principles and relations, this is a very complicated matter.

He had a plan in mind, always going away for a few years.

Selfishly speaking, he doesn't want to put pigeons in a hateful environment, and he doesn't want these old neighbors to say that pigeons are impersonal.

He thought, he should compromise.

The Fourth Wife followed suit for a while, until Fourth Brother Duan came in with a small food box, she stopped being angry, took the food box, turned around and went to Jiang Gezi's kitchen, took the bowls and chopsticks inside, and returned it to Jiang Gezi with her own hands. There is Lianci, and two other special meat buns were ordered and brought to the stairs.

Pigeon doesn't like other people entering the second floor of her house, so she never goes up.

Lian Ci thanked him, took the meal, and ate it calmly.

The fourth wife looked at her with sympathy and distress.

What a soft and good-tempered little nobleman, and such a good-looking person!And so cute!How did you provoke those mourners?

Look, it's all down to the point of eating steamed stuffed buns on the stairs.

He went to his house tomorrow, and the adults in his family don't know how to be annoyed.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Wife clutched her heart and went back to the kitchen, where she boiled another pot of soup and slowly stewed it on the fire.

She thought, I have to feel sorry for this difficult child's mother, love him.

But she didn't know that since the child was born, he had had a year of maternal love, and it was incidental.

A tasteless meal was served, and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, someone came to the house again.

When Uncle Huang saw this person, his old face turned pale at first, and then his eyes began to sore.

The young master came with his own accountant. When he saw Uncle Huang, he first bowed cautiously and said: "Mr. Huang, the old man asked me to tell you that you are not willing to do something like this! We don't blame you. You, don't take it to heart, hey! You are always involuntary, and you will suffer from this even when you are old!"

Uncle Huang supported the table and stood up slowly, trying to maintain his last dignity.

He returned the gift silently, and took another long box from the other party.

Seeing that Uncle Huang took the box, the Shaodong family heaved a long sigh of relief, and comforted him with nice words: "Don't blame us if you are old, this is really true, rules are rules, these two things... it took a lot of money at home. More than 4000 guan, other things, I really don’t have the ability, it’s not easy to do business in the past few years, others don’t know, don’t you know?”

Uncle Huang touched the old wooden box, nodded numbly, and said with trembling lips, "Yes, always... always causing trouble to my boss..."

The Young Master smiled: "Hey... this is a big deal..."

After speaking, he saluted the room again, turned around and left.

He is also busy, busy moving, busy avoiding disaster.

He hated himself for being so unlucky that he met a family disaster!

This kind of person, he will not find problems from himself.

After Uncle Huang saw the man go out, his body softened and he almost didn't fall.

His son Huang Chuxu hurriedly supported his father, and with this support, Huang Chuxu's tears also fell.

Uncle Huang opened the box with trembling hands. In the box, there was a fish dragon pendant, a gift hairpin wrapped in silk, a redemption slip of [-] strings, and two dismissal letters.

This is really... all my hard work was in vain.

Huang Chuxu's heart ached and he was angry again.

He looked at his aunt, then at the three huddled at the foot of the wall, and at the confused old neighbors in this room.

This man, when he is extremely angry, he will not be angry anymore.

Huang Chuxu took out the letter of appointment, put the box in the hands of his cousin He Shan and said, "Ah Shan, you should feel sorry for your uncle, and from now on... forget it!

Why!Let's just leave it at that, my dad's 60-year future is gone, and his pension is gone... Hey, if you have something to do in the future, you just go to him, what can he do... That's it! "

Old Mrs. He, who was sitting at the foot of the wall and was changing towels for her feverish grandson, sat cross-legged motionless.

Hearing what her nephew said, she said to her son without turning her head: "Ah Shan, kowtow to your cousin and uncle!!"

He Shan knelt down slowly and kowtowed three times.

Huang Chuxu helped Uncle Huang and left like this.

What do you want to do with other people's father and son?

no solution anymore!

He Mingchuan supported his injured leg, leaned against the wall and looked ahead, his eyes were frozen and motionless.

Deng Changnong was leaning against the corner, Lin Yuanchun was lying on his lap with gauze wrapped around his neck, still oozing blood.

That night, Lian Ci sat on the second floor, looking at the few lost and found things on the table, with mixed feelings in his heart.

In addition to his gift hairpin, jade pendant, and the household registration certificate fished out of the river, there are also the deeds of the Deng family, the He family, and the Lin family on the table, as well as the two hundred coins sent by the three households, and the neighbors. More than 80 rounds of funds were raised.

He knows that his camera, watch, and pen will probably never come back in this life.

Things outside of the body, if they are gone, they will be gone.

Lian Ci's dilemma now is not financial, but the three people in front of him and the lifetime employment contract sent by these three people.

What use does he want these three idiots?

Even give a look at Jiang Gezi.

Jiang Gezi tilted his mouth and leaned on his chair to look at the roof.

One idiot is enough for him to suffer, three more?

He doesn't want it!

The room was quiet, and it took He Mingchuan a long time to raise his head and say:

"Master Ganzi, you...please do me a favor, my family really can't come up with more..."

He Mingchuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't continue speaking.

He would rather go to jail than die.

But he can't die, my grandma said, you are guilty, you have to live and suffer every day!

If you don't pay off your sins for a day, you can only suffer.

This is how to be a human being!

Therefore, he has to live, and he has to live to redeem his sins!

Thinking of this, he lay on the ground with his upper body. After some experience, he has grown up, articulate and orderly. He said: "Master Gan, nobleman! We deserve to die and deserve it! However, my family members are innocent. , my brother and sister are still young, please always give us a chance, we know that the money is a lot, and our sins are heavy, but...we are young at any rate, and we still have the strength to sell for decades, we will pay back the money! Five times ten Bei, you always mention it casually, we will give you a note, a note recognized by the law!"

As long as it doesn't hurt the innocent in our family, it doesn't matter how it treats us.

Deng Changnong looked at He Mingchuan, then at Lin Yuanchun, and he also got down on the knees and said, "My lord, as long as you give my family a way out, you can do whatever you want..."

Finally, Lin Yuanchun...

He quietly accompanied him to get down, get up, and get down again...

This person who used to cut his neck with glass has no intention of dying now, but his life is meaningless.

The light in the room is not strong, about the same age, two are sitting, three are kneeling, lying on their stomachs.

The corner of Jiang Gezi's mouth twitched.

Although he is a miraculous person with a time-traveling experience, that is also his own destiny, which he controls.When he was allowed to control the fate of others, he was a little embarrassed.

Sending these people to prison is something he agrees with, but ruining the future of underage children touches his bottom line.

Tilting his head, he thought for a long time, then slowly stood up and walked to the side of the three hapless ghosts.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he stuffed all the employment contracts on the table, the house deeds, and even the money into a bag of beef jerky.

He threw the bag on the ground again.

The sound of things falling to the ground really twisted He Mingchuan's and the others' hearts.

The dignity of the family was laid on the ground, and the distressed soul was trembling.

They remember the embarrassment of raising money everywhere at home, and they can continue to remember the scenes where they easily gave the money to Meng Xiaojing.

Jiang Gezi looked at them and asked sarcastically, "Which one of the things inside is yours?"

He Mingchuan raised his face to look at him, then lay silently on the ground again.

Jiang Gezi looked at the ceiling and muttered for a long time: "This person is different from others. I believe it. I have seen the fool who struggled from the honey pot to the cesspool! Heh..."

All he could do was snort.

Jiang Gezi turned to look at Lianci: "You really don't blame them?"

Lian Ci nodded and smiled: "I talked to you last night, no wonder!"

Jiang Gezi stretched out his hand helplessly, pinched the bridge of his nose, and wanted to say something, but he really couldn't!

Hey, I feel aggrieved!

In the end, he stretched out his hand, one by one on the heads of these three people, causing three brain collapses. After playing, he said helplessly, "Everyone stretch out their hands!"

Reach out?

The three of them were blindfolded, are they going to cut off their own hands like the old rules?

That also works!

The three stretched out their hands without hesitation.

Jiang Gezi turned his face to look at them, then at the six arms in front of him, finally he smiled, stretched out his hand and drew three circles in the palms of the right hands of these three people one by one, and said while drawing:

"In this world, there is no such thing as forgiveness or unforgiveness. If you are wrong, you are wrong! Therefore, I will not forgive. On behalf of the unlucky guy behind me, I will not forgive you either!

Therefore, I sentence you to paint the land today!With a limit of ten miles around the old pole, Mr. Lian will be fined a total of [-] guan for physical damage and mental damage.

The things in this bag are not yours, you send them back to your family, and you redeem your own sins!

I still have the same old rules!In my place, you are not allowed to steal!Don't grab it!Don't cheat!All your income must be earned with your hands, and every penny of yours will come from nothing, remember! ! "

He Mingchuan raised his head sharply to look at Jiang Gezi, he understood the meaning of these words, it was a way out for them, and it was also a way out for the family.

He stuttered, with tears streaming down his face, he kowtowed and said, "Remember! Remember!"

Come to think of it, I really remembered it!

How many days have passed, and life is at a dead end.

Their way is dead!

The road at home is also dead!

They are willing, they are willing to spend their whole lives in this ten-mile old alley as cattle and horses to pay off their debts.

As for whether to go out or not, it really doesn't matter.

Deng Changnong suddenly grinned and burst into tears.

Lin Yuanchun, who will not speak in the future, looked at the roof and muttered silently.

Jiang Gezi stood up, finally letting go of a heavy burden in his heart.

He let out a long breath, raised his chin, and raised his brows slightly.

Can his peaceful life come back?

Lian Ci nodded happily: "This is the best! It's the best..."

He Mingchuan and the others suppressed the uneasiness in their hearts, stepped on their feet like fog, and took away the house's deed, and left the house in a daze.

I don't know how the three negotiated. After they left for a short time, they came back separately and put their employment contracts on the table without saying a word.

Jiang Gezi held the three contracts, looked them up and down for a while, and then threw them on the table in disgust.

"This stuff!! The law doesn't recognize it. I've summed it up these days. The poor man's shamelessness is on his knees. I'm so tired of kneeling every day!"

Lian Ci smiled apologetically and said: "I won't mention them, it's just... I owe you, I'm afraid I can't pay you back, I'm different from them, I also have a contract, but I signed it in my heart..."

To be honest, he also wanted the pigeon to draw a circle on his palm.

This is a very insecure guy.

Jiang Gezi turned his face and looked him up and down, and the emotions in his eyes naturally did not escape the sensitive and meticulous Lianci.

He wondered one thing, why did Jiang Gezi have a sense of luck in his eyes?

However, before he had time to think about it, Jiang Gezi suddenly had a big brain collapse on his forehead, and then said: "Have you read the book? Have you written the notes? Have you thought about the direction of work? You freeloader Trash... go to bed now! What time is it... this shit is making a fuss!"

After speaking, he turned and left briskly.

Lian Ci covered his forehead and remained silent for a long time.

He Mingchuan and the others returned home with the deed, but the elders in the family did not dare to accept it.

Without it, Lianci can sue the officials at any time.

Now, without even a word of promise, these three have been driven back.

Who dares to accept them, be afraid!

The family relationship couldn't stand the constant torture, and the final deed also represented the whole family's abandonment of the three of them.

Just like that, they were kicked out by the family again, floating in Laosan Lane like wandering ghosts.

Laosanxiang in the middle of the night is quiet and lonely!

They were cold and hungry, and no one cared.

This time there is really no home.

They walked blankly supporting each other, ended the catastrophe, and after escaping for a day, they just felt that their stomachs hurt and were hideous.

Later, it was Deng Changnong who remembered that there was a garbage dump at the bottom of the south wall of the Lianchi trading market, and the rotten vegetable fragments that the vegetable farmers could not usually sell would be thrown there collectively.

In this way, there used to be a complete family, and the three unlucky guys who were all loved, spent more than ten minutes picking up a lot of vegetable leaves in the garbage dump.

Then, they sat on the edge of the old alley, gnawed on the rotten vegetable leaves, and breathed hard and desperately.

Didn't cry!

Didn't say anything either!

It's just a ferocious excuse from the outside world.

In May of 1888, they probably will never forget it for the rest of their lives, and in their future lives, every year from May to May, they will be inexplicably sad and cold, feeling that every second is so difficult.

After eating the vegetable clapper, I was reluctant to throw away the rest, so I carefully wrapped it in a torn newspaper, hugged it in my arms, and prepared to eat the next meal.

The three old streets were all closed with eight doors. At the end, they supported each other, snuggled up, and returned to the deacon's hall of Master Ganzi, huddled together in the corner of Jiang Gezi's house. A litter of abandoned milk cats.

Finally, there was still a door open for them.
