Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    That night, Luo Chong received a prayer from his sister-in-law, although she was praying to the picture of the god.

    "Bless Luo Dong for safety, success, and no illness or disaster"

    She repeated this wish dozens of times, fearing that the great god would not be able to hear it.

    But not a single sentence was directed at herself.

    Luo Chong couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart: I still need your blessing, what I want to hear is your own wish.

    No matter what, after all, for now, I am the backbone of this family. Only with me can they maintain this hard-won happiness.

    By the time it was late at night, Luo's mother and sister-in-law had already gone to bed. Luo Chong didn't need to sleep at all, and he didn't want his body consciousness to enter his own small universe for the time being, so he dragged a chair and sat down in the yard.

    The door frame of the door is torn, and the two broken door panels are propped there, falling down when pushed. This is purely symbolic.

    Luo Chong lit up a cigarette, took a puff and laughed silently. He felt like an old man watching the door, all he needed was a flashlight.

    The feeling of a mortal.

    Luo Chong looked up at the sky. There were actually stars in the night sky. In a daze, they looked no different from the earth.

    Thin footsteps sounded from behind. Luo Xiuer was not asleep yet. She had just finished the last bit of housework. She came over and said to Luo Chong: "There is still hot water in the kitchen. Let's take a shower before going to bed."

    šI

    As he came home dusty from travels, he should of course take a shower, even though there was not a speck of dust on his body or face.

    Seeing the cigarette in his hand, still puffing on smoke, Luo Xiuer understood that it was smoking, but she was a little curious. It was completely different from the cigarette pots in the hands of old men and ladies in the town.

    Is it also only found in military camps?

    Of course Luo Chong didn¡¯t need to take a shower, so he just asked her: ¡°Why don¡¯t I see you making a wish to the statue?¡±

    "I¡­¡­"

    Luo Xiuer hesitated for a moment, but still replied softly: "I don't believe it anymore."

    Although there are only a few words, it can be heard that she once believed it. Maybe she made wishes to the gods countless times, but nothing changed, so

    "You are so busy now. It is impossible for a god who is in charge of so many believers to take care of everyone."

    Luo Chong smiled and replied: "Some things require persistence. If you don't hear it today, you won't hear it tomorrow. Maybe, not necessarily, he will hear your wish one day."

    It seems to be the truth, but she, who has always been obedient, did not agree obediently this time. Instead, she remained silent and expressed her opposition with silence.

    "If you don't want to believe him, why don't you just trust me?"

    Since she is his child bride, Luo Chong seems to be much more casual when talking to her, and can even be a little provocative.

    When she said this, she nodded. Not only did she nod, she also said: "My life is yours."

    This is her fate, as it should be.

    Luo Chong held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at her silently for a while before saying: "Go to sleep. You are also tired from this day."

    She nodded and left. In fact, she had long been used to such work.

    "Child bride"

    Luo Chong spit out the cigarette butt and stamped it out, muttering: "Everything is fine, but I don't like to laugh very much."

    As a woman, she doesn¡¯t know how to pretend to be cute, she doesn¡¯t know how to act coquettishly, she doesn¡¯t know how to charm men, and she only knows how to work dully all day long Perhaps these are the reasons why Luo Dong didn¡¯t like her in the past.

    There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, not only the carpenter who repaired the door, but also the cloth shop owner in the town, the second shopkeeper of the furniture shop, and the top shopkeeper of the grocery store also came. There was no need for Luo Chong to get involved in these matters. Sister-in-law  They all took it.

    Luo Chong was planning to go out for a walk, at least to see what the situation of the big-head soldiers who followed him back home was like when they returned home.  Those who are short of money must provide some assistance. After all, you can have as much gold and silver as you want.

    "Those who come back alive are all strong men. Don't let them worry about a few copper coins."

    Without using any of his spiritual thoughts, Luo Chong just liked to visit from house to house like a mortal, and experience the taste in detail.

    However, before going out, one of the top soldiers, ¡®Ma Hanzi¡¯, walked in with a gloomy look on his face, holding his blood-stained standard sword in his hand.

    The blood stains were dark, obviously from last night.

    Plop!

    Ma Hanzi came over, knelt down in front of Luo Chong, and said in a muffled voice: "Baihu, I killed someone, and I'm here to take the blame."

    The courtyard that had just become lively suddenly became quietdown.

    "Get up and go into the house to talk."

    Luo Chong turned around and entered the house first. Ma Hanzi stood up and followed behind, holding a steel knife.

    After entering the house and closing the door, Luo Chong sat down and asked, "Who were killed?"

    "The third youngest of the Liu family!"

    Ma Hanzi replied in a low voice: "Six months ago, he took away my family's property, molested my mother-in-law, and forced her to sell herself into slavery. That night, she hanged herself."

    "Why would he dare to do this?" Luo Chong looked cold.

    "At that time, I got lost in the mountains because of a failed investigation, and it took me two months to escape."

    Ma Hanzi replied: "The commander in the camp thought I was dead and put me on the death list. The news of my death was sent back to the town. Later, although I asked someone to write a letter, I don't know why, but my family didn't receive it.  ¡­¡±

    Luo Chong nodded silently. Such things are quite normal in a society with extremely backward communication methods.  The war was in turmoil, bandits were everywhere, and the messenger who delivered the message did not know where he died.

    "Does your family owe the Liu family money?" Luo Chong asked again.

    "Less than ten taels."

    Ma Hanzi nodded: "It is only right to pay back debts, but he shouldn't"

    "Stop talking."

    Luo Chong waved his hand: "Well done! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to forgive him even if I killed him."

    Ma Hanzi was stunned for a moment, then knelt down again and kowtowed his head with a pop.

    He is stupid and can¡¯t say those words of thanks, so he just kowtows.

    Ma Hanzi knows a little bit about the law and knows that he will definitely die, but if he can get the verbal forgiveness of adults from a hundred households, there will be no regrets.

    Among the ordinary military households in the town, who doesn¡¯t owe money?  Especially for people like Luo Dong and Ma Hanzi, if the only man in the family dies on the battlefield, the fate of the women in the family will be

    ¡° If Luo Dong had not come back, his sister-in-law and Luo Xiuer would also fall into the hands of villains like Niu Jinshan and Wang Baihu because of debts.

    Ma Hanzi¡¯s wife had a strong temperament and chose to hang herself.

    "Where is your son?"

    Luo Chong remembered that Ma Hanzi already had a child, who should be four years old.

    ¡°Before the mother-in-law hanged herself, she asked a neighbor to send him back to her parents¡¯ home.¡±

    At the mention of his son, Ma Hanzi's already numb heart collapsed. He burst into tears and kowtowed to Luo Chong: "Baihu, please, see my baby before I die."

    "This is nothing."

    Luo Chong didn't even think about it and replied calmly: "Besides, you can't die either. No one can touch my soldiers."

    "Hundred households?"

    Ma Hanzi raised his head with a confused look on his face: "The capital crime I committed is not a battlefield. Soldiers who kill must also pay with their lives."

    "That's the truth."

    Luo Chong nodded: "You killed Liu San last night, who saw it?"

    "There should beno one."

    Ma Hanzi shook his head and replied: "We are Ye Bushou (scouts). If we kill him, a fat old man, there will naturally be no movement."

    "That's it."

    Luo Chong smiled and said: "No one saw it, who dares to say that you killed him."

    "But they can guess it."

    Ma Hanzi replied in a dull voice: "The Liu family is a high-ranking squire. The family is rich and has the support of Wang Baihu. They arrested me and tortured me in various ways. They could also find witnesses and evidence."  A lot of them It¡¯s better to get stabbed than that.¡±

    What he meant was that he could just let Luo Chong take him into custody and go to the west gate of the town to announce in public that he would be beheaded with a single blow.

    Baihu's knife is very fast and won't cause any pain.

    In ordinary counties, such matters must be tried extremely strictly according to law, but Guangling Town belongs to the Military Household Guards Station, and it can also be handled by military law.

    "I am the witness."

    Luo Chong said calmly: "Last night, you didn't go anywhere. You were so drunk at my house that you couldn't even kill a chicken in a puddle of mud. As for the evidence"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    He took the sword in his hand from the air, wiped it lightly, and the blood evaporated completely.

    "There is no evidence!"

    Banglang, he threw the knife back again.

    Well!

    Ma Hanzi was stunned there. He held it in for a while before asking: "Baihu, why do you take such a risk for me?"

    "It's not because you are my soldier."

    Luo Chong replied: "But I feel that you are right to kill! If the law cannot make the decision for us, we can only rely on the steel sword in our hands. We are not only soldiers, but also warriors. Even this bit of blood is not enoughNo, I will kill you.  "

    "Understood!"

    Ma Hanzi kowtowed again: "I just said I was drunk, and I don't know anything else."

    "Go out and help my sister-in-law with the work."

    Luo Chong waved his hand: "As for your son, just bear with him for a few days. It's not the right time to take him back now."

    Snapped!

    Ma Hanzi made a military salute, returned the sword to its sheath, held it in both hands and placed it on the table, leaving it to Luo Chong for safekeeping for the time being.

    Then, he walked out with extremely complicated emotions. Before going out, he turned around and said to Luo Chong in a hoarse voice: "Baihu, my life is yours."
