old house bird thing

That summer was beautiful. Butterflies flew by under the wisteria in the backyard of the newspaper office, and cicadas sang there. Xiangxiang could lie on the bamboo chair under the wisteria and doze leisurely while others were busy.

Mr. Ma was on a business trip. After hearing about Mr. Sun Yat-sen, he was carrying a thin cloth bag before leaving. His gray hair stood upright under the bright sun, making people speechless. You feel ashamed when you open your mouth.

Xiangxiang didn't know what Mr. Ma was going to do. He knew that his life would be easier if the old man was on a business trip.

A male colleague from the newspaper came over and shook his head when he saw Xiangxiang's virtue. He said, "Ah Yu, someone is looking for you, it seems to be someone from your family."

Many years have passed, and Xiangxianghui often thinks of that hot afternoon. He asked himself, if no one came to him that day, would he spend the rest of his life in a newspaper office like this?

It was Chang Shun who came, sweating profusely from anxiety, and crying, "Master, hurry home, Second Aunt told Master to lock her up."

Xiangxiang was taken aback, and asked, "What happened? Why was it locked up?"

Chang Shun said: "I don't know, Sister Chunyan sent me to look for the young master, but she refused to say what happened in the house."

Xiangxiang immediately reported leave to Chief Editor Chen, and got on the train with Changshun.

After entering the gate of the house, Xiangxiang felt strange. The servants in the house all looked evasively when they saw him, and whispered behind him.

The chrysanthemums in the back garden of Du's house were blooming very vigorously, and the big ones made people's eyes feel a little uncomfortable, and Xiangxiang was somewhat unhappy.

Master Du said: "You rebellious son, you still have the face to come back, I will break your leg!"

The eldest lady sat next to Master Du, with complacency in her eyes.

Xiangxiang said: "Why did the master lock up the second aunt? What did the second aunt do wrong?"

Master Du patted the table and said, "You still have the nerve to ask what you did wrong, kneel down first."

Xiangxiang felt that this was a bit unreasonable, but he still lowered his head and said cautiously: "Master, don't be angry, first tell the reason of the matter, maybe there is some misunderstanding."

Master Du sneered three times and said, "You bastard, did you know that bastard surnamed Zhou?"

Xiangxiang was full of doubts when he heard this, and he asked, "The one surnamed Zhou... is broken..."

With a sound of '哗啦啦', Master Du threw the tea bowl on the table, and the tea splashed all over Xiangxiang's face. Master Du shouted: "You still put garlic on me, kneel down! Kneel down! I will let you kneel and listen Have you arrived yet?"

Xiangxiang was a little scared. Mr. Du was very thin, like a vine with tangled branches. At this time, his head was full of veins, his face was flushed, and his eyes were looking at Xiangxiang fiercely, pointing at Xiangxiang. His fingers bent into a terrifying arc, as if they would jump over and grab Xiangxiang's neck at any moment.

"Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down!" Every time Master Du shouted, Xiangxiang's heart skipped a beat.

"You don't kneel, do you? Come on, press him to kneel down for me."

As soon as Mr. Du finished speaking, two tall and thick men standing at the door came in, grabbed Xiangxiang by the arms and pressed him down hard.Xiangxiang's knee was kicked hard, and Xiangxiang knelt down.

Master Du walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and he said: "I have raised you mother and son for so many years, and I have raised two wolves, and you dare to plot against me. I think you are impatient. You said you did everything possible What kind of mind is there to bring that female cousin Zhou Lanxin in to be the Seventh Concubine? Ah!"

"Zhou Lanxin? What's the matter with her? What happened to her?" Xiangxiang asked.

"Hmph! You care about her? What's your relationship with her? She's your concubine? Isn't she?" Master Du said.

"What are you talking about! Why is she my concubine!"

"You still refuse to admit it. After the girl entered the door, she pushed me back and forth on the matter of consummating the house. I think she is a female student and let her go, but she is lucky. She couldn't delay that day and took the chicken Blood tricks me, I’m not old enough yet! Your mother’s family actually married me with such a broken shoe, I think they had the guts of ambition. Liangmo said that you and her are boyfriend and girlfriend, and you did it last time for She was beaten, you said, did you break her body! Why are you mother and son at ease!"

Xiangxiang was stunned after hearing the call, using a modern word to describe it would be 'speechless', what are these things.

Xiangxiang said: "It's none of my business if she's not a virgin. Besides, my uncle's family sent the girl here, and the second aunt didn't even know about it beforehand."

Master Du got angry, spit on Xiangxiang's eyebrows, and cursed: "You son of a bitch, you dare to quibble! That woman admitted it, and you dare to say it's not you. It seems that you don't think of me as a father." It's in my eyes."

The eldest lady didn't speak all the time, and she added fuel to the fire at this moment: "Oh, Yu'er, what do you want me to say about you, the father and the son used a woman, and this woman belongs to your father Concubine, if this kind of embarrassing thing is spread, how can you let the master lose this person, how can you let the people in our house go out and behave."

Hearing what Mrs. Du said, he was like a firecracker. He raised his thin and wrinkled palm and slapped Xiangxiang's big mouth, and then he slapped Xiangxiang down one after another.

After pumping more than a dozen times, Master Du stopped. He pointed to a man in Xiangxiang and said, "Come and smoke for me, and kill this bastard."

Xiangxiang's face was hot from the beating, he hid in fright, and begged for mercy: "Don't hit me, don't hit me."

No one paid any attention to Xiangxiang, and the slap still fell heavily.

When he woke up again, Xiangxiang felt dizzy all over his body, only a circle in the middle of his eyes could see the light, and the whites of his eyes were dark. Sour taste stuck in throat.

Xiangxiang was so uncomfortable that he had to force himself to sleep. He slept in the dark, and he didn't know how long it took before he woke up again. He found himself lying on a stone bed in a woodshed, and the things he vomited last time were still sticky. stuck to the front of his clothes.

Xiangxiang got up to push the door of the firewood room, but found that the door was locked by a thick iron chain. Looking out from a small skylight in the wall, there was no one outside, and Xiangxiang called for help, but no one paid attention.

Waiting until evening, Uncle Wang, the old housekeeper of the Du residence, opened the door with a bowl of steaming rice.

"Second young master, you are awake, come over and have a bowl of warm rice."

Xiangxiang was so wronged that he was on the verge of tears. He had never suffered such a crime after living for more than 20 years. He silently took the food from others and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Second young master, don't worry, the master is in a fit of anger, and he will be fine in two days."

"What about Second Aunt? Is she okay?" Xiangxiang asked.

"The second aunt is locked up in her own room by the master, it's all right."

Xiangxiang lowered his head, feeling tears rolling in his eyes, this bowl of rice didn't even have a leaf of vegetable, tasteless, it was hard to swallow.

Steward Wang took a wet rag and wiped the filth spit out from Xiangxiang's chest, and said, "You have been smart since you were a child, and you can read well. The master loves you when you are young, and he is also responsible for his love. Don't you Blame him, did you tell Uncle Wang that you have something to do with that woman?"

Xiangxiang wiped away tears and said, "No."

Butler Wang asked: "Then why did she rely on you, saying that you broke her body, and asked the second aunt to give her to our master as a child?"

Xiangxiang said, "Where's Zhou Lanxin? Call her out, and I'll confront her."

Butler Wang said: "When this incident happened, she was supposed to be immersed in a pig cage. The master ordered someone to lock her up, but I don't know who let her go. Where can I find her again?"

Xiangxiang said: "How can he beat people without finding out the facts? I am not his domestic animal, I am a human being, and I have dignity. How can I beat people as soon as I say, or shut me down when I say so?"

While talking, Xiangxiang couldn't bear it anymore, and grinned with his job bowl in his arms and began to cry: "Why should he beat someone? Why should he lock me up? Ah~~~~~"

When Steward Wang saw his second young master opened his mouth and cried, he immediately laughed angrily, pointed at Xiangxiang and said nothing for a long time, and finally said: "Oh, my young master, how wronged you have been." Ah, what about it? So what if your own father hit you twice? You’re such a big man, why are you grinning and crying?”

Xiangxiang grabbed the old butler's clothes and cried, "Don't lock me here, let me out."

Steward Wang sighed and said, "Master didn't let you go, who can let you out? I know your child's character, and you can't do those ridiculous things. Did you offend that girl, or else people will blame you?" Is it on you? I have already sent someone to your school and your uncle’s house to inquire about it. If you have done nothing wrong, will you be fine when the inquirer returns? You can bear it for another two days. "
