Qingfeng Village.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, four years have passed.
Ren Zhanbiao has grown from a thirteen-year-old boy to a seventeen-year-old boy. He has also grown taller and his body is much stronger than before. The wind is hanging on his face when he walks, and his cough is like thunder.
Tang Dalong was naturally happy when he saw it.
"Brother Tang, I would like to take a few days off and go down the mountain." On this day, Ren Zhanbiao said to Tang Dalong.
"What's up?"
"I have been going up the mountain for four years and have never been back once, so I would like to take a few days off to go down the mountain to see my sister." Ren Zhanbiao said.
"I'll go with you." Tang Dalong was a little worried.
"No, I'm not a child anymore."
"Okay then," Tang Dalong counted on his fingers. He had indeed not been back for four years, so he nodded in agreement, "But when you go down the mountain, don't make trouble for me or cause trouble, you know?"
"Brother Tang, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
"Then you ride on my horse, take the application items with you, and go back quickly," Tang Dalong said and took out some silver coins for him.
"Yes, I understand."
In this way, Ren Zhanbiao mounted his horse and left Qingfeng Village alone.
He first went to Gaoling Town.
At noon, he found a restaurant to have something to eat, then walked around the street, bought some satin and cloth for his sister, and rode a horse to visit his sister at Renjiazhuang's home.
When he returned home, he was dumbfounded. The house was still the same two shabby thatched cottages, but the doors were closed.
Ren Zhanbiao got off his horse and came to the door. He pushed the door open with his hand. A lot of dust fell on the door. The room was even more dusty and covered with spider webs everywhere. How could anyone live here?
"Sister! Sister!" Ren Zhanbiao had a premonition that the situation was not good, and shouted in a panic.
Where is the shadow of his sister?
At this time, a neighbor, Aunt Wang, came over and asked, "Young man, who are you? Who are you looking for?"
"Aunt Wang?" Ren Zhanbiao saw that she was the neighbor next door, "You don't recognize me anymore, I am Zhanbiao."
"Are you really a winner?" Aunt Wang looked at him carefully, "I didn't expect you to be so tall."
"Aunt Wang, where is my sister?" Ren Zhanbiao asked.
"Zhanbiao, listen to what I tell you. Don't be sad when I tell you." Aunt Wang sighed, "Four years ago, since your sister came back from Yihong Mansion and you left, she My whole person has changed. I can no longer see the innocent and lively Ren Zhanling. She stays alone at home all day long, sitting there for most of the day without talking. I remember one time, she said to me, talk about you. Her parents are gone, and she is worried about you the most. Now that you have met a kind person who has taken you away, she is relieved and has nothing to worry about. After saying this, I will come to you in a few days. We were visiting each other, but suddenly I found that your sister had hanged herself. At that time, I was so scared that I fell to the ground and didn’t know what to do.”
"Ah!" As soon as Aunt Wang said this, Ren Zhanbiao screamed and passed out from the pain.
When Aunt Wang saw it, she was so frightened that she quickly came over, slapped his chest and beat his back. It took a long time for Ren Zhanbiao to wake up.
"The neighbors on the left and right are very difficult and have no money. After everyone discussed it, we dug a hole next to your parents' graves in the old cemetery in the back mountain, wrapped your sister's body in a mat, and buried it."
"Aunt Wang, please thank everyone on my behalf," Ren Zhanbiao cried, "please take me to worship at my sister's grave."
"Okay, then you come with me." Aunt Wang said.
Ren Zhanbiao prepared some burning paper, sandalwood and other worship objects and came to his sister's grave.
It's better to say it's a grave than a small mound.
Ren Zhanbiao knelt down in front of the small mound and cried bitterly until his voice was hoarse and his eyes were bleeding.
Aunt Wang looked at the poor family and wiped away tears.
He worshiped his parents again and didn't go back until the sunset.
At night, he mounted his horse and went straight to the Qianjiazi's house in the town.
This rich man is one of the top landlords in the local area. His family has a big business, and their manor is much larger than other people's.
Ren Zhanbiao was optimistic about the route to leave. After finding a place on the roadside to tie his horse, he walked straight over and knocked on the door of Qian Guizi's house.
The person who opened the door was none other than Butler Zhu.
"Uncle Zhu has always been kind, so I'm polite now." Ren Zhanbiao bowed and saluted.
"Who are you?"
"What, Uncle Zhu doesn't recognize me? Please take a closer look."
"Are you, are you Ren Zhanbiao?" Butler Zhu pointed at him, opened his eyes wide, and carefully identified, "Aren't you already dead? Are you a human or a ghost?"
"Uncle Zhu, I am naturally a human being, where can I come from as a ghost?"
"Oh, my child, you really set the standard. It turns out that you are not dead. That is really a blessing from the Bodhisattva. Thank God."
"Yes, I was lucky, and I met a good person who saved me," Ren Zhanbiao said. "I remember when I stole pastries in the kitchen, and a piece of meat was bitten off my right calf by a wolf dog. That money man had two lives." The servant whipped me with a whip, and it seemed that I was dying. Thanks to your old man's persuasion in front of the money devil, he let me go. Otherwise, I might have died a long time ago. Uncle Zhu, I want to thank you. "
"Son, that's not a big deal. Why do you bring it up? As long as you're fine," Butler Zhu said, "Then what do you want to do when you come here today?"
"I want to get back what belongs to me." Ren Zhanbiao said this with a cold light in his eyes.
"Child, do you have anything else left here?" Butler Zhu didn't understand what he was referring to.
"Haha, don't ask about this yet," Ren Zhanbiao looked up to the sky and laughed, "Is that money man at home?"
"At home, but, son, what do you want to do with him?" Butler Zhu realized that this person might be a bad person.
"Just be at home," Ren Zhanbiao asked. "Let me ask you again, have you found the big red horse with red wind?" "I found it. I came back early the next morning." Butler Zhu said.
"Just come back. I just want to talk to him. Why did he treat me like that in the first place?"
"My child, the matter is over. It is said that it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Since you have recovered and are fine, I think you can forget about it," Butler Zhu persuaded. "Not to mention that there are many families and there are wolves and dogs." , If you really want to take action, I'm afraid you will suffer the loss alone."
"Is there such a cheap thing in the world?" Ren Zhanbiao sneered, "I am a human being, not an animal. Why did he attack me indiscriminately and break my ribs? If I hadn't happened to meet him Good Samaritan, I have been dead for a long time. Besides, if it weren’t for the money devils who beat me for no reason and I could get paid normally every month, then with this money, my father might be able to cure his illness. Nor will he die. If my father had not died, then my sister would not have to sell herself to Yihong Mansion to bury my father. If my sister did not go to the brothel, she would naturally not have died. The injustice has its owner, and the debt has its owner. Therefore, this The debt must be settled on the head of the money devil. This hatred is irreconcilable, how can I let him off easily?"
"What? Your sister is dead too?"
"Yes, these are all given by money-loving devils."
"Zhan Biao, you can't say that. It's his fault that he hit you, but you can't blame him for your father's death and your sister's death," Butler Zhu said, "He was wrong again. Didn’t do anything to them.”
"The money man didn't do anything to my father and my sister directly, but when he beat me seriously, he hurt them," Ren Zhanbiao said. "Besides, this debt is not his fault, so, Tell me, who should I blame?"
At this moment, two servants heard Butler Zhu talking and walked out. As they walked, they asked, "Butler Zhu, who are you talking to?"
"Don't come over yet." Butler Zhu quickly turned around and waved his hand.
"What did you say?" The two servants didn't hear clearly and continued walking this way.
Coincidentally, these two people were none other than the two who wrapped Ren Zhanbiao in a torn mat and threw him into the ravine of the back mountain.
The so-called enemies were extremely jealous when they met, and Ren Zhanbiao recognized them both at a glance.
"Who are you?" The two servants found a young man standing in front of the door.
"You two are so noble and forgetful that you don't even recognize me?" Ren Zhanbiao said.
"Are you Ren Zhanbiao?" One of the servants had a sharp eye and recognized him. "So you're not dead yet? No wonder we couldn't find your body when we went there the next day."
The other person was also shocked when he heard it.
"Then what do you want to do when you come today?" a servant said.
"What do you want? Blood debts must be paid with blood," Ren Zhanbiao said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"You are so young, do you have that ability?" a servant said, about to capture Ren Zhanbiao.
Ren Zhanbiao flew up and kicked the servant in the calf. The man fell to his knees with a "plop" uncontrollably. Before he could react, Ren Zhanbiao stepped in front of him and hit him with a palm. The servant's head bled to death on the spot.
Another servant was so frightened that he yelled "Oh my God!" and tried to run back. Ren Zhanbiao caught him up with three steps and two steps. He grabbed his neck with his right hand from behind, and with a struggle with his arms, he broke his neck. Die from exhaustion.
Ren Zhanbiao's shot was like lightning, and within ten seconds, both of them were killed.
"You!" When Butler Zhu saw it, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. He pointed at Ren Zhanbiao and was speechless for a long time.
At this time, two big wolf dogs sprang out from inside, with their mouths wide open, barking "㕵㕵" at Ren Zhanbiao.
Ren Zhanbiao recognized that one of them was the vicious dog that bit off a piece of meat from his right calf.
The dog was looking for an opportunity to attack Ren Zhanbiao.
Ren Zhanbiao stretched out his right hand and pulled out a long dagger from his waist, and stabbed the wolf dog in the throat, stabbing it in from the front. The tip of the dagger was exposed from the wolf dog's back. Ren Zhanbiao's arm With a strong effort, the wolf dog was thrown out more than two feet, and it fell hard.
Another wolf dog wanted to attack Ren Zhanbiao from behind, but Ren Zhanbiao flew up and kicked his head to bits, killing him on the spot.
