Seeing that he was about to die, Xu He felt so cold in his heart!
He sat on the boat angrily and thought for a long time but had no idea.
He originally thought that he would help him resolve the relationship between love and hatred, but Qin Lie would let him go if his conscience found out.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he would have to drag himself as a [corpse bearer] before he died.
The key is that Doctor Qin has long lost the elegant look he saw yesterday.
His whole body was already stiff, and without looking inside, it was likely that the spots on his body had already grown out.
But he could only guard a dead man, staring with big eyes and small eyes, preparing to face the judgment of fate.
The water monkey was rowing at the stern of the boat. In the cabin, Qin Lie wetted a cloth and carefully wiped the black dust and blood on his uncle's face.
The movements are extremely gentle.
While wiping, he said: "My second uncle has never married and had children in his life. He is a scholar and has already been married to someone, but..."
"But something happened to my family that year, and he took me over from my mother. In order to keep me safe, he abandoned his fame and his wife, and took me, my nephew, to become a bandit!"
"For so many years, he has regarded me as his own, taught me how to read and write, and hired famous teachers to practice martial arts for me."
"He always told me that the wilderness is no place for heroes. If you have the chance, you should go out and start your life again!"
Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, closed his eyes and said, "But I was more than ten years old at the time, and I dreamed about avenging my parents every day."
"Turn a deaf ear to the second uncle's words!"
"When I grew up, my second uncle may have been disappointed with me, so he quit the water village, and I succeeded him as the leader!"
"At that time, I felt that the water village was my home. I was wondering if my second uncle was old and confused. He would rather eat chaffy vegetables than live a comfortable life in the water village!"
"Later I found out that my second uncle's unmarried wife drowned and died. Because my second uncle didn't marry her, she was married to a family as a concubine. Unexpectedly, she couldn't stand the abuse of the eldest wife of that family. , drowned to death."
"The place where my second uncle is staying, not far from the backyard, is the woman's tomb!"
"Second uncle told me that in this life, if you miss something, you will probably have to pay it back in your lifetime! He told me that it is the same with you. If you kill people and set fires, you will have to repay them in the end. They are all debts!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Xu He: "Mr. Xie Yuangong, you said I owe my second uncle the debt, how can I repay it?"
Xu He knew that he was on the verge of collapse, so before taking action, he needed to find someone to talk to and relieve his stress.
So he said slowly: "Your debt must be repaid, but what you are doing now is not what your second uncle expected."
Qin Lie sneered: "Reply violence with violence, tooth for tooth, murder for life, debt for debt. Why, you are a scholar, do you want to persuade me to be a coward?"
Xu He shook his head: "No, I just think it's good for you to pay the debt yourself. If you drag me with you, you will owe me another debt? If you die, who will pay my debt?"
Qin Lie looked at him and said, "Then pay it back underground!"
"What the hell!" Xu He really wanted to curse.
At this moment, Water Monkey suddenly said: "Third brother, the village has arrived."
Xu He and Qin Lie both looked outside the cabin at the same time. Sure enough, a large island loomed in the morning mist.
Qin Lie tucked the weapon in his arms and stopped talking nonsense to Xu He. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began to close his eyes and meditate.
…
"who!"
After a while, someone on the island stood on the shore with weapons and yelled.
Water Monkey said: "It's me!"
As soon as his voice came out, the people on the shore immediately put down their weapons and said with a smile: "When did you come back? Where is the third brother?"
At this time, Qin Lie opened his eyes and walked out of the cabin and said, "I'm here."
While he was talking, the ship docked and he jumped onto the shore in one stride.
The two men said happily: "Third brother, what brought you here? It's not the time for you to return to the village, right?"
Qin Lie said calmly: "I'm homesick, come back and have a look!"
After speaking, he waved his hand.
Xu He cursed in his heart and stood up, and he and Water Monkey carried Doctor Qin's body ashore.
As soon as the two people saw the corpse, their expressions suddenly changed and they said, "Doctor Qin? Third brother, what's wrong with Dr. Qin?"
Qin Lie said coldly: "Dead!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
But at this moment, someone asked: "Who is he?"
The man pointed at Xu He, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, and asked.
Water Monkey scolded: "You are the only one with so many fucking problems. This is Third Brother's new younger brother. Bring him here to recognize him as his family!"
When the two people heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brothers are still scholars? It's quite rare!"
Xu He could only squeeze out a smile and said no more.
Fortunately, Qin Lie shouted at this time: "Why are you still standing there, let's go!"
The three of them walked all the way through the water village. It was actually a water village, and there were a few bamboo platforms set up at the dock for lookouts.
There is also a water gate for parking boats.
After coming in from the pier, Xu He seemed to have come to some market town along the way.
There were children running around and playing, and fishermen going out to work.
Occasionally, there would be a man patrolling back and forth carrying a weapon, and his expression would be very relaxed.
In fact, the real core of the Taihu Water Bandits is on a mountain more than three miles away from the shore.
Xu He was already tired as he carried the body all the way up the mountain. He had only climbed two steps up the mountain when he panted and said that Dr. Qin's body had been put down.
The water monkey scolded: "It's useless for a scholar to ride a horse. Stand up for me, hurry up!"
While talking, someone suddenly came down from the mountain. He smiled as he walked: "Third brother, why did you come back to the stronghold today? You didn't ask anyone to tell you in advance!"
While talking, a middle-aged man waving a folding fan walked down with a smile.
This man was completely different from the people Xu He saw along the way. He looked well-mannered and dressed like a scholar. His temperament was very similar to that of a handsome uncle from later generations. The only flaw was that he had a black mole on his nose. The appearance is broken.
This kind of person, no matter how well he studies, is destined to be unable to become an official.
When I went to the ceremonial room to write a ticket, I saw this kind of person with a mole on his nose. The ceremonial room immediately told him to leave, because in this era, what officials pay attention to is "beautiful appearance"!
Yes, that’s right, this is an era where face is more important than later generations.
When Qin Lie saw this man, he cupped his hands and said, "Second brother, there are thieves in Nanxun who set fire to kill people. My second uncle was killed by those people. I went back to the village to bury my second uncle. Now I'm going to see my eldest brother! Ask for permission on this matter."
After saying that, he stepped aside and let the man see the bodies of the two people behind him.
The second brother was shocked when he saw this and said: "What, what's going on? Do you know who did it? How did Uncle Qin..."
After saying that, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he turned to Qin Lie and said, "Third brother, my condolences! Set up the mourning hall, and I will go offer incense and kowtow to Uncle Qin!"
When Qin Lie saw this, he nodded with pain and said, "Thank you, second brother!"
The man patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are all brothers and sisters. We are out of town! I have something to do down the mountain first, and I will go to my eldest brother's place immediately to discuss the matter of Uncle Qin's burial!"
After saying that, the man hurriedly walked down the mountain. When he passed by Xu He, he glanced at Xu He.
