Prince's Revenge

Chapter 12

After a few days, they gradually entered the hinterland of Zhili. It was only five days away from Tai'an. The green hills on both sides of the road were full of wild flowers. They had been out for a month, and it was mid-spring according to the season.He Yaodu's depressed mood eased a lot, and there was a thatched shed not far in front of him, which looked like a tea pavilion from a distance.Closer, it can be clearly seen that four simple tables are placed under the thatched shed, two of which are already seated, and the other two are empty. A wrinkled old man greeted with a teapot: "Hurry up!" Work hard, come here to have a sip of tea and rest your feet."

The seven people sat at two tables, and the old man poured them big bowls of tea respectively, and sat back in front of the tea stove to light the fire.

He Yaodu thought, originally planned to take Zong Qixiu to Huguang, and promised to take He Suming to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but since meeting Zhu Xianfu in the posthouse, his mood has changed a lot, and he is no longer leisurely and elegant Traveling around the mountains and rivers, I don't know what Zong Qixiu and He Suyue plan.He was originally the core of this group of people, no matter Zong Qixiu or He Suming, he was the main one, he had something on his mind and was unhappy, and the others were also unhappy.

He Yaodu turned his head to look at He Suming and Zong Qixiu, and saw that He Suming was secretly looking at Zong Qixiu, his pretty face was blushing, and Zong Qixiu's attention was attracted by something not far from the tea pavilion up.

Following Zong Qixiu's line of sight, He Yaodu could see clearly that it was a wild dog, lowering its head and gnawing on something. The fur around the dog's mouth was covered with blood, and a fleshy bone the length of an autumn lotus root was bitten off by it. .

He Yaodu's heart moved, and he immediately shouted: "Wu Enqi, go and see what that dog ate!"

Wu Enqi and Sijing put down their tea bowls, and ran over quickly, Sijing yelled loudly, turned around and shouted at Zong Qixiu: "Master, it's a dead baby!"

He Yaodu and Zong Qixiu changed their faces at the same time, He Suming's face turned pale with fright, the people on the table next to him and the old man making tea were not surprised at all, but felt that these foreigners were rare and strange.

The wild dogs had already been chased away by Sijing and Wu Enqi. He Yaodu and Zong Qixiu walked over to take a look. The scene in front of them was really unbearable to look at: a newborn baby, whose chest had been torn open, with all internal organs There was no trace, and the small body was bitten into a shapeless shape, the flesh was connected to the bones, it was too horrible to look at.

He Yaodu comforted He Suming: "Don't be afraid, it may be a child who died young. He was buried in the soil by his family, but the burial was not deep, and he was pulled out by wild dogs. I have already asked Wu Enqi to dig a new hole on the mountain. buried."

A bearded man at the table next to him laughed out loud, sad and angry.

Zong Qixiu asked with a sullen face, "What's so ridiculous?" He had noticed just now that these people didn't have any sympathy for finding the baby. .

The big bearded man gave them a dissatisfied look, and just about to speak, the old man hurriedly said: "Alas, which parents are willing to throw their flesh and blood in the wilderness, and let the wolves tear at them, there is nothing they can do." He looked at He Yaodu and He Suyue apprehensively, and hesitantly said to Zong Qixiu: "I'm afraid these two friends of yours are from the He tribe. We don't dare to say too much, and don't ask any more objective questions. The old man still wants to Live two more years."

"Is there anything you dare not say!" The bearded man slammed the table and said loudly: "I will not change my name or surname when I sit down. My surname is Hu, and my name is Dachun. I am from Qufu. I will say this today. No one else has anything to do with it, the elders wanted to kill me, so they went to Hujiazhuang in Qufu to arrest me, I dare to act."

Zong Qixiu was aroused by what they said. In order to dispel their doubts, he took a look at He Yaodu and clarified: "Although my two friends are from the He nationality, the business at home has nothing to do with the government. Don't worry, we're just curious and don't care."

Hu Dachun snorted, and cursed in a low voice: "Good Han people are running dogs for He people, traitors!"

He Yaodu's expression changed, and he was about to stand up and teach Hu Dachun a lesson, Zong Qixiu hurriedly pressed his hand under the table, shook his head lightly, indicating that it was okay, and waited for Hu Dachun's next words.

Hu Dachun went on to say: "I don't need to tell you about the things that the He people did to rape the brides! Who in the world doesn't know about it! The first babies born by these daughters-in-law will all be thrown to death and thrown into the wilderness. "

Zong Qixiu stood up in vain, and said in disbelief, "What!"

Hu Dachun said angrily: "Who knows whose bastard that bastard is!"

He Suming covered his mouth in shock, and couldn't bear to say: "It's always that woman's child!"

Hu Dachun glanced at He Suming and He Yaodu in disgust, slapped a few copper coins on the table, picked up the package, and walked away.

The old man took the copper plate and tea bowl, sighed and said helplessly, "My old man is fifty-eight this year, and in two years, he will go up the mountain to wait for his death!"

Zong Qixiu was startled and angry, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Why?"

The old man wiped away his turbid tears and said, "It must be the first time for you to go out."

Zong Qixiu nodded.

"We Han people, when we reach the age of 60, are sent to a tomb in the wilderness to wait to die. The masters of the He nationality built a brick tomb for us, saying that people are useless after 60 years old, and living will only waste food. .Look, the elders of the He nationality will think about us." The old man said with grief and indignation, wiped away his few tears, and sighed: "If you are interested, you can go to the mountains and fields to have a look. There are brick tombs like this, people are thrown into it, and they starve to death. God damn it!"

With a buzzing sound in Zong Qixiu's ears, he rushed to the top of his head, he ran out, He Yaodu hurriedly chased after him, but Zong Qixiu, who had always been weak in writing and writing, ran very fast, and He Yaodu tried his best to chase after him. Not on him.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Zong Qixiu suddenly stopped at a place halfway up the mountain and stood straight. He Yaodu hurried forward and stood beside him. Zong Qixiu threw off his sleeves and pointed angrily at In a masonry cemetery in front, he shouted: "What he said is true! What he said is actually true!"

Under the rage, his always fair face turned red with anger, his hair at the temples was blown to pieces, and half of his robe was covered with mud and blue grass clippings.

He pushed He Yaodu away with all his strength, and was about to jump down, the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, the beasts of the He clan bullied people too much, how could he endure it!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears, who would have believed that such a cruel thing happened in the world!

It was his fault, he lost Dayong City!

It's his family's fault, raising tigers as a plague, harming the people of the world!
