[Chapter 2077 Tie Kui Fanwai (1)]
The sun rises, and the sun shines softly on everything. The birds fell on the trees and chirped, and everything seemed so alive.
However, a hoarse voice broke the harmony in the yard. Ning shi asked maid Xing’er in disbelief, “Is there no carriage sent to me in the house today?”
Xing’er lowered her head and said in a low voice, “The steward of the stable said today that the old lady will bring three girls to the Huangqi Temple to offer incense, and there is no carriage to send to the lady.”
Ning shi said with a wry smile: “No, no, we will rent a carriage outside later.”
Fang’s mother said, “Madam, the prison is gloomy, and it is inconvenient for you to go to that ominous place when you are pregnant. Madam, let the old slave visit the old lady and the others!”
After the accident at the Ning family, she ran around, and she finally found a way to visit the prison.
After putting a piece of silver in the cell, Ning was sent to the cell by a jailer to see his family.
As soon as I entered the prison, a pungent smell rushed towards my face. Ning Shi forcibly endured it, but did not vomit.
The cell was dark and damp, and Mrs Ning had never been to such a bad place when she grew up.
Thinking of her parents living in such a place with her brother and sister-in-law, Ning’s tears couldn’t help falling.
Madam Ning saw that Mrs. Ning was stunned for a while, and then she couldn’t help but scolded: “Is this where you came from? Hurry back and don’t come again.”
Ning shi cried and said, “Mother, my daughter is useless, I can’t save you all.” Since the accident happened at Ning’s family, she has been asking for help, but unfortunately, no one has paid attention to her.
Mrs. Ning looked at the package in her hand and said, “Put the things down, and go back quickly.”
Seeing Mrs Ning standing outside the prison and crying non-stop, Mrs. Ning scolded, “You don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your children. You, a pregnant woman, should come to this kind of place, so don’t come again next time. If you want to send something, let the maid send it.”
In the end, Ning was scolded by the old lady Ning and walked away.
Old Mrs. Ning looked at the three packages she brought, sighed and opened the things. Ning brought clothes and food, and Mrs. Ning distributed the clothes to everyone first.
Ning Hai looked at the clothes that fit just right, and changed them without saying a word.
To Ning Hai, everything now is like a nightmare. Mingming had been reading and reading with his husband in the bright school a few days ago, but in a blink of an eye, he was locked up in this dark prison.
Mrs. Ning looked at the gloomy atmosphere and said, “Don’t be afraid, the emperor will return your father’s innocence.” Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning were childhood sweethearts, and they loved each other after they got married. After three years of marriage, she didn’t get pregnant, and Mrs. Ning didn’t take a concubine either. In the fourth year, Mrs. Ning gave birth to the eldest daughter, and then gave birth to the eldest and second sons one after another. It’s a pity that the two older sons died of smallpox, and the younger one died of illness at the age of seven.
When the youngest son died, Mrs. Ning was nearly thirty years old, and it was difficult to support her at this age, so she took the initiative to take two concubines for Mrs. Ning. The belly of these two concubines was very good, and they became happy not long after being repossessed. The two gave birth to three sons and one daughter in total. Ning Hai’s biological mother was given by Mrs. Ning’s colleagues, not the same mother as Ning’s. However, Mrs. Ning managed the family well and there was no conflict between wives and concubines, and even the children of the concubine got along very harmoniously.
After hearing this, everyone looked forward to the emperor’s innocence to Grandpa Ning, and then he could go home. As a result, there was news that Old Master Ning, Third Master Ning, and Fourth Master Ning were beheaded.
Not long after, they were sentenced to exile in Tongcheng, Liaodong. Going to that place is actually no different from dying.
The group walked out of the cell, unable to open their eyes due to the sunlight outside. Ning Hai’s eyes were stabbed, and tears flowed out involuntarily.
Old lady Ning thought he was crying, so she came over and said softly, “Don’t cry, we will come back one day.”
Ning Hai shook his head gently and said, “Mother, I didn’t cry.” Ning Hai’s biological mother died in childbirth, and it was Mrs. Ning who brought him up. After a long time, he was also regarded as a parent-child. The cost of food and clothing is the same as the other three sons, but the teaching is the best.
When they left the city, Ning came to see them off.
Ning Hai had a bad impression of the Ning family before, not only because of her timidity, but also because of the scandal that caused the Ning family to lose face. But now, seeing that she was so thin that she was about to fall out of shape, she still had a big belly. It was shocking to see.
The old lady Ning scolded: “I told you not to come and deliver, why don’t you listen? Those people in the Han family are heartless. If you don’t take care of yourself like this, you will have three advantages and two disadvantages in the future, and let the children rely on whom. go with?”
Years later, when Ning Hai recalled this scene again, he felt that his mother had seen it thoroughly.
This time, I don’t know if I can see the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon in the future, so how could the Ning family not come to see them off.
Mrs Ning handed a few packages to Mrs Ning and the others, and then said while crying, “Mother, I heard that it is very cold in Liaodong, so I made a pair of cotton-padded clothes and pants for each of you.” Not the family.
After he glanced at the official who was standing not far away, Mrs Ning said in a small voice, “Mother, I sewed some gold into your cotton jacket.” required.
Ning Hai was standing beside him, even if Ning’s voice was small, he could still hear it.
The Ning family’s family background was there. On the day of Ning’s marriage, she gritted her teeth and collected 2,000 taels of silver to buy a dowry. These silvers should not have been required, they should have been reserved for Ning’s body. But they had a long way to go to Liaodong, and they didn’t know what was going on along the way. Such a big family can feel at ease with some money in their hands.
Old Mrs. Ning glanced at her, sighed and said, “I’ll take the clothes. Don’t run around in the future, and take good care of your baby at home.”
Ning shi wiped her tears and said, “Okay.”
When they parted, Ning Hai looked up at Ning Shi and said, “Second sister, you have to take care of yourself.”
Ning nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of myself. I am in the capital, waiting for you to come back.”
From the capital to Liaodong, there are thousands of miles away. A group of them walked on two legs. My feet were frayed, and every step I took was as painful as being stabbed by a needle, but I couldn’t stop to rest because I was in a hurry. Those who have not experienced it cannot understand the suffering.
The two yachas are not bad, although they urged them to go quickly, they did not beat or scold them. Ning Hai began to think that the two of them had benefited from Ning’s, so they didn’t make things difficult for them. Only later did he know that Ning’s money was not a big deal at all, it was managed by Mrs. Xiao, his father’s old friend.
The old man Xiao was an official in the court, and the two yamen did not dare to abuse them any more if they got his advantage.
The first half of the month was the hardest, and everyone got used to the calluses on their feet.
After walking for more than a month, Mrs. Ning couldn’t stand it anymore after all. Walking on the road one day, I suddenly felt dizzy and swaying.
Ning Hai quickly stepped forward to support her and asked eagerly, “Mother, what’s wrong with you?”
Mrs. Ning looked at the anxious Ning Hai and the others, and said with a white face, “I’m fine, but I’m a little tired. Just take a rest, it’ll be fine.” In fact, she knew that her body had reached its limit and couldn’t last long. It’s just that if she falls, the family will lose the backbone, and it is very likely that she will fall one after another. She had to endure for her two children. But she didn’t know how long it would last.
The leading yacha looked at old lady Ning’s face, and said, “Then take a rest.”
Because they are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, they walk very slowly. At this pace, it is impossible to reach Tongcheng before it snows, but the old and the young can’t speed up their pace with whips. So, they don’t rush. When the weather gets colder, the body can’t bear to fall down, but it’s none of their business.
After resting for a quarter of an hour, the yacha urged the group to go on the road. Ning Hai was a little anxious at this time, so he said to the leader: “Master, I want to go to the toilet.”
The leader said impatiently, “There’s a lot of shit, hurry up.”
Ning Hai quickly got into the dense grass. As soon as he squatted down, he heard the sound of hoofs.
During the time he was on the road, he often saw people on horseback, so he didn’t think much about it.
After a while, the sound of hooves approached them, and then Ning Hai heard someone say loudly: “These two girls are not bad…”
Immediately afterwards, Ning Hai heard Old Madam Ning’s scolding: “What do you want to do under the blue sky and daylight?”
The voice sounded again just now: “Big brother, there are many brothers in the stockade who are bachelors. These two girls are pretty good looking, let’s take them back to the stockade!” Grandma Ning San and Grandma Ning Si are both relatively handsome, although they say In the past few months, he has suffered a lot of crimes, but his facial features have not changed. In the den of bandits, women are the most lacking. It’s okay, they don’t let it go.
Cursing, screaming, and calling for help, these voices hovered in Ning Hai’s ears.
Ning Hai wanted to get up and rush out to save people, but when he stood up, he saw a black-faced man with a full beard sitting firmly on the horse. Looking at that person, Ning Hai knew that this group of people were bandits, and he rushed up with his small arms and legs just to die. Thinking of this, Ning Hai quickly squatted back.
The black-faced man seemed to notice and looked in the direction of Ning Hai. At this time, a gust of wind was blowing, and the dense grass was one after another. The man thought that the movement just now was caused by the wind, and turned his head.
The old lady Ning shouted: “I fought with you.”
“court death……”
Listening to these voices, Ning Hai felt that every second was a torment. If it wasn’t for his reason, he would really have rushed out.
After those people left, Ning Hai didn’t dare to go out. He was afraid, afraid that these people would kill a carbine.
However, it turned out that Ning Hai thought too much, and these people never came back after they left.
After a long time, Ning Hai got up from the ground and cleared the dense grass, and when he walked out, he saw a scene that he will never forget in his life.
Old Mrs. Ning and his fifth brother both fell in a pool of blood, the second sister-in-law had her head chopped off and her head was thrown aside, and the third sister-in-law was naked with blue and purple patches on her body.
Ning Hai jumped on the old lady Ning and shouted loudly, “Mother…”
It’s a pity that Mrs. Ning can no longer respond to him.
I cried for a long time, until I couldn’t make a sound out of my throat.
It was getting dark, and the wind blew on Ning Hai’s body, making Ning Hai shiver.
Ning Hai wiped his tears and picked up the dry food scattered on the ground to eat. When we are full, we start digging. No tools, just pry with a stick. Pry loose, and use both hands to hold out the soil and gravel. His hands were dripping with blood, but in order not to let his mother and brother and sister-in-law storm the wilderness, he gritted his teeth and insisted.
After a night of digging, four pits were finally dug. Then, it took a lot of effort to move the four people into the pit. Then, cover again with soil. Afraid that the pit was too shallow and would be dug out by wild animals, several large rocks were moved on it.
Kneeling in front of the grave, Ning Hai kowtowed three times and said in a low voice, “Mother, fifth brother, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, don’t worry, one day I will kill those bandits to avenge you.” And the voices of the other two bandits were kept in mind. In the future, he will definitely kill these bandits to avenge his family.
After kowtowing, pack up the package and move forward. After walking for two days to a town, he sat in a corner and took the last cake to eat. After eating, I leaned against the wall. I was so tired that I couldn’t stand it and fell asleep.
In a daze, he felt that someone was pulling his clothes. Opening his eyes, Ning Hai found two dark and dirty children ripping off his clothes.
At this time, Ning Hai was no longer the innocent child four months ago. Ning Hai pushed the two black children to the ground and shouted angrily, “I’m welcome if you stretch out your hands again.”
The two children couldn’t understand what Ning Hai was talking about, but they looked at him in a difficult way, so they grabbed his package and ran away.
Ning Hai got up and chased after him, but he was unfamiliar with the environment and quickly chased him away.
He didn’t have food and no money. He was young and couldn’t find a job. He was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy. In order to survive, he begged for money.
After begging for a long time, he met a kind girl who gave him four coins. With these four coins, Ning Hai was going to buy two buns to eat, but was stopped by a group of beggars in ragged clothes.
It’s hard to beat four punches with both hands, not to mention one person against a group of people. Ning Hai was beaten to the point of lying on the ground, unable to get up. Those people snatched his copper plate, and then focused on the cotton-padded clothes and pants on him. Among this group of people, many beggars were still wearing shabby autumn clothes.
If the copper plate is robbed and then try to beg for it, if the clothes are taken away, they will definitely freeze to death tonight. In order to survive, Ning Hai tore and bit the two beggars who came to steal his clothes like crazy.
Three more beggars came up, held down his head, hands and feet, and pulled his clothes off. After getting the clothes, the group walked away.
It was already very cold in Anshan in October. Ning Hai was so frozen that he curled up into a ball, and his head was a little drowsy: “I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.” If he slept, he might not be able to wake up again.
Just then, someone came over. Ning Hai grabbed the man’s trousers, raised his head and said to the person, “Uncle, save me.”
Ning Hai always thought that Tie Hu saved him because he looked more like Tie Kui. This is not the case. Tie Hu saw the strong desire to survive in his eyes, and the expression was exactly the same as that of his son before he died, so he took action to save him. After rescuing him, he saw that he looked a lot like his own son, and then brought him home.
