Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

When I arrived at the thatched cottage, it was almost dinner time, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed, leaving only two unrecognizable corpses lying alone on the open space in front of the house, showing a gloomy and deserted look.

I resisted the fear in my heart and walked over.

look to the ground.

Flesh and flesh adhered to the scorched bones, the eyes abstracted into horrible holes, and the facial features of the two corpses were scorched into a ball by the flames, like clods covered with mud, exuding a pungent and unpleasant burnt smell, which made people sick.The eyebrows and eyes could not be distinguished for a long time, and the ferocious carbon black filled the gap left by the fat burning. One of them had his legs bent at an inconceivable angle, while the other's five fingers were clenched tightly, and his jaws were wide open, occupying almost half of his face , showing darkened teeth.

They must have suffered a great deal before they died.

This isn't my first experience with dead bodies.Before the cremation of the elders in the previous life, they also watched them go through the last journey in the world, but it was a kind of peaceful and peaceful death, not the panic and tragedy that they saw before their eyes.

"The one who is taller is Mr. Kong Ming, and the one who is a little shorter is his book boy serving tea." The clerk at the yamen heard that I was the old maid of Zhuge's family, so he came over and pointed to the corpse, "It's almost burnt." , only a skeleton remains..."

I closed my eyes.

Everything happened so unexpectedly that my whole body was so numb that I couldn't even cry.How can it be?Kong Ming is amazingly talented and talented. A proud man like him should be born on a high place, high-spirited, and admired by thousands of people. How could he be so humiliated and ridiculous lying on the dirty and lowly soil, naked *, with the sky as a quilt, there is not even an old mat covered by Zhang, and the neighbors will point out and mock at will, just like a big joke.

The gossiping woman's gossip came to my ears: "That's Mr. Kong Ming, tsk tsk, alas, he was burned alive! They are all poor, you see, the same fire disaster, the tile-roofed house of his brother's house next to him is nothing. Only two cowsheds were burnt down, and half of the side rooms were blackened. On Mr. Kong Ming’s side, even the house and people are gone. I said, old man, our family has to save money to build a tile house. Die now!"

Judging from the traces left on the ground, the fire first spread from Kong Ming's bedroom.The servants of the Lin family next door lost their energy because Lin Yuejie and sisters went to Jiangdong with Zhuge Jun, and they gambled money the night before until the middle of the night.They didn't hear Kong Ming and Feng Cha's call for help in time, and when they were woken up by the scorching temperature and got up to fight the fire, the fire had almost engulfed the thatched hut, and they couldn't recover.

"We were all in a deep sleep and didn't hear the sound, so we couldn't help each other." Lin Yuejie's nanny, Liu Shi, pretended to be hurt, and wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously, as if there would really be a lot of tears flowing from there.

Rumors have long spread in the countryside, saying that the nanny was only concerned with protecting the Lin family's property last night, and did not send anyone to the next door to put out the fire. Little servant girl, if I hadn't saved myself properly, I'm afraid many people would have been burned to death! Besides, the thatched hut was already on fire at that time, so how could we save it? It's a waste of effort!" Although she didn't expect Kong Ming to die early, But since God is willing to accept Lin Yuejie's thorn in his side, she is also happy to see it succeed.

At that time, some of the neighbors who were awakened by the fire volunteered to rush into the thatched cottage to save people, but the fire was so intense that the smoke surged into their mouths and noses like crazy, which could suffocate people in an instant. They had no choice but to retreat in the end. "It's really impossible to save, the fire is too hot, I can't get close, my gown is burned." A kind-hearted man whose face was smoked into black charcoal regretted.

Having said that, it is chilling for Liu Shi to stand on the sidelines and give up without even trying.

Kongming and Fengcha died under the sun for three or four hours. With so many servants in the Lin family, none of them thought of covering them with a piece of white cloth, and no one thought of their acquaintance's affection, and sincerely stood up for them. They cried two words of mourning and one sentence of regret.

I can't cry.There was a blunt knife cutting flesh in my heart, tears flowed down my cheeks unknowingly, bitter in my mouth, gray and white in my eyes.Kneeling on the ground with my head bowed, I struggled to cover Kong Ming and Fengcha with a sackcloth, my mind was in a state of confusion and darkness.

Kongming is dead.

He is the only person I have loved in two lifetimes. Even if I hate him unfeelingly and resent him for his schemes, I still find it hard to accept his passing away in such a bleak way.Before life and death, all the entanglements of grievances and resentments in the past can be let go.Looking back now, I only remember the white clothes on him when I first met him, and the calm and gentle smile on his face.A modest gentleman, as gentle as jade.

But there is only the sadness of death in front of my eyes.

The tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs.In order to beat Lin Yuejie earlier, Kong Ming used the Liu family as a bridge. The design made them suffer several secret losses, and the Liu family has long held a grudge.Now that Zhuge Jun is far away in Jiangdong, Liu took the chicken feather of the "master" as a command arrow, thinking that he had found a golden opportunity to avenge his injustice and revenge, and said in a strange way: "Zhuge's family was originally poor, and the fire is like this." There was a fire, and even the last few iron coins were burnt away. You are poor and white——" She deliberately lengthened the ending to give the audience time to cheer, but it's a pity that everyone is fair and comfortable, except for the diehard Lin family , No one paid attention to her at all.

Mrs. Liu paused for a long time and only waited for a few sparse responses. Others would have been ashamed and wished they could find a way to get into the ground. Only her, a shameless flower, could brazenly say: "Hey, that's all. Who asked Mr. Kong Ming to have a good life and become an in-law with our Lin family? It must be because of relatives. I helped the old lady to make arrangements. However, coffins are rare, and usually there are elderly people in the family. The birthday man will prepare it in advance, and Mr. Kong Ming died young, which really caught the old woman by surprise!" The implication is that Kong Ming's coffin will never be made of good wood.

——What kind of thing does she think she is? How can Kong Ming, an old guy like her, be able to do things at will?

Emotions suddenly blow out.Anger overwhelmed reason with lightning speed, and anger rolled in his chest like boiling water.This was a kind of resentment I had never experienced before. Before I returned to my senses, I had already slapped Liu Shi on the face with such force that even I was surprised.

The women of the Three Kingdoms regard chastity and restraint as their beauty, and the girls who have not left the court will be drowned in spittle if they say a few foul words.And I not only hit him with my hands, but also hit Liu's left and right cheeks, and even the bridge of his nose.

Mrs. Liu didn't expect that I would attack suddenly, so she was negligently guarded, and was knocked to the ground by me inadvertently.Blood was pouring out of her forehead, but she stared at me stupidly. It took a few seconds for her to realize what had happened. She immediately became furious and bit her like a mad dog: "You dare to hit me? Little Whore, you dare to beat me! See if I don't beat you to death—"

I want to kill her even more!

As long as I calm down and think about it calmly, I can understand that this is not the best time to teach Liu Shi a lesson.Even if Liu Shi is beaten all over the floor looking for his teeth, it can't change any fait accompli.But I can't handle that much anymore.My rationality was bitten into my stomach by the bone-piercing grief and anger, and my heart was full of anger. Liu Shi, who hit the muzzle of the gun, was the most ready breakthrough.

I recklessly rushed up and wrestled with her, my fists smashed flowers on her chest and abdomen like a rainstorm, every punch was harder than one punch, and each punch was stronger than one punch.

"Mr.'s brother is not here, but he still has a teacher in Nanyang. He will be a teacher for a day and a father for life. How can it be your turn to be a servant of your in-law's family to tell him what to do!" Crying, the tears fell on Liu's clothes, and they were wet in an instant, but they were still scrambling to rush out of the eye sockets, becoming more and more fierce.

"...Why don't you save him, why don't you save him... If you save him, maybe he can escape? Why, why..."

I fell to the ground, ignored Liu's counterattack, and let her fist greet me, ignorant like a lunatic, with disheveled hair and howling.
