Ah Jue's eyes were filled with grief, anger, helplessness, and despair over the injustices in the world.
He didn't even look at the old woman and Lao Meng who had died, but Die'er started crying again.
He stared blankly at the kitchen knife in his hand. This knife was used by the old woman to chop vegetables for him to eat and cook broth for him to drink. However, Ergou hacked him to death with this knife...
And he used the kitchen knife to chop Ergou and his companion again.
Lao Song, who was leaning against the courtyard gate, patted his chest and screamed: "This is the Imperial City! This is our world. Even if you kill me, where can you go?"
Shaking his head, Ah Jue replied coldly: "I will not leave, I am forced by you to have no way out..."
"Mother..." Die'er suddenly cried and fainted.
Lao Meng was so frightened that he quickly ran away from Ah Jue, hugged his sister on the ground, and pinched her...
"Alas!" Ah Jue lowered his head and was speechless for a moment.
The moment he lowered his head, there was a sound of "唃!", and a knife struck at his head like lightning. At this time, even Lao Meng was stunned...
"Crack!" A sound sounded in the wind!
A severed arm flew into the air, and with a final "pop!" sound, it fell at Lao Song's feet. A shrill scream of "Ah..." rang out in the wind.
This knife, this hand. Old Song didn't know how many people he had killed for the big shopkeeper.
From now on, the hand holding the knife can no longer harm anyone. I am afraid that he will have to use another hand even when eating and drinking.
"Oh my God!" Lao Meng, who was trying to wake up Die'er while pinching his sister, screamed out in fright when he saw her.
He never expected that the honest and honest Ajue would chop off the arm of this fierce god!
"You are dismissed!"
Looking at Lao Song, who was holding a broken arm and falling to the ground in pain, Ah Jue said coldly: "Go back and tell the boss that if you want revenge, come to me. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
At this time, Lao Song just wanted to leave the yard immediately.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Okay...boy..."
After saying that, he climbed out of the yard and heard a voice from far away: "Boy, tell me your name if you have the guts!"
Ah Jue replied coldly: "Tell you the boss, my name is Ah Jue!"
The sun couldn't bear to see this human tragedy and went down early.
The sky and the earth became dark again.
Ah Jue dragged the two corpses out of the yard and threw them somewhere to feed the wild dogs. At this time, it was the time when the wild dogs came out to look for food.
A miserable oil lamp in the house slanted its light on the bed.
Lao Meng and Die'er had already wiped away the tears on the old woman's face, and Die'er changed her mother into new clothes that she had been reluctant to wear in the past.
The old woman looked peaceful when the oil lamp shone on her. That was because Lao Meng Ti Niang had smoothed out her wrinkled forehead and painful face.
The old man had cooked for his son and daughter all his life, but he could not watch Lao Meng marry a wife or watch the woman get married as she wished.
Ah Jue squatted under the eaves in the yard, holding his head and not daring to say a word.
The butterfly in the room no longer howled, but turned into a low sobbing sound, as if she was about to cry herself to death.
In his mind, everything was his fault.
Only Lao Meng in the room knew that this matter had nothing to do with Ah Jue. If it weren't for Ah Jue, his sister would have been kidnapped by Ergou today.
He and his mother always thought that his sister was working for a wealthy family, but they didn't expect that she was abducted by Sister Ma from Yingyue Tower.
If Ah Jue hadn't been here, I'm afraid that tonight, my sister would have become a commodity for sale in Yingyue Tower, waiting for the merchants in the audience to increase the price like crazy.
Is such a sister still his sister?
That night, Die'er cried all night, and finally fell asleep lying on her mother's body.
That night, Lao Meng sat on the ground in a daze all night, thinking about the hard times that he and his sister had suffered, and that his brother failed to protect his sister.
If not, Die'er will become the red card girl of Yingyue Tower.
The sky was slightly bright, Lao Meng walked out of the house, looked at Ajue squatting on the ground and sighed: "You go, I will bury my mother later."
Ah Jue shook his head: "I'm leaving, what will you do if they come back?"
Lao Meng looked at him and said with grief: "You avenged my mother in front of me. I really have nothing to repay you with. I beg you to go."
Ah Jue didn't say a word, because he knew that those guys would come again soon.
The current Die'er is a treasure that no one has used in the eyes of Sister Ma. She is also a subordinate of the big shopkeeper, so she will definitely send someone to snatch Die'er back.
Not to mention that he killed two people and cut off one of Lao Song's arms.
After all, fighting those guys is the result of a fight to the death.
"Plop!" With a sound, Lao Meng knelt in front of Ah Jue and shouted in a low voice: "Brother, please leave quickly before it's daylight."
Sighing, Ah Jue looked at him and replied, "I won't leave unless I die!"
Lao Meng reached out and hugged him, shouting loudly: "Brother, I know you are a good person, but you really can't afford to offend them, you know?"
Ah Jue sighed: "I don't know."
"Their big shopkeeper was originally the most ferocious bandit in the desert. Later, in order to clear his name, he came to the imperial city and formed the Dragon and Tiger Gang. There are hundreds of them. How can you fight them?"
Holding Ah Jue in his arms, Lao Meng growled: "You will only die if you stay here."
Taking a deep breath, Ah Jue said: "I am a dead person, what should I be afraid of?"
The two hugged each other, and Lao Meng could not see the cold expression on A Jue's face, but he could hear the brotherly love and determination in A Jue's voice.
When desperate, even the most honest rabbit will jump up and bite someone.
Letting go of his hand, Lao Meng sat down on the ground and murmured to himself: "Today, let the three of us die together. We cannot be born in the same year and the same month..."
"Haha, I'm afraid you will have to die on the same day, same year, same month!"
Before Lao Meng could speak, a cold voice sounded in the yard, followed by "Boom!"
It turned out that the door that Lao Meng had locked was kicked open from the outside... You must know that this is a very thick wooden door?
It can be seen from this that a more terrifying guy than Lao Song came today.
Ah Jue raised her head and saw a pair of eyes already covered with bloodshot eyes. She reached out and gently pushed Lao Meng into the house, picked up the kitchen knife from the ground and pinned it behind her back.
Step by step, walk out of the yard.
Without waiting for the people outside, they rushed in and blocked a group of vicious guys outside Lao Meng's yard.
I saw a group of gangsters following a middle-aged man who was five feet five, dressed in silk, and with a long knife on his waist.
The middle-aged man looked at Ah Jue who rushed out coldly and asked: "Are you that fool Ah Jue, the Ah Jue who came out of Yingyue Tower?"
Ah Jue replied: "I am."
The middle-aged man nodded and said coldly: "I'm called Gui Jianchou, I'm from the big shopkeeper."
"Oh!" Ah Jue thought for a while and replied, "So what? You have already killed the old woman, do you still want to snatch her daughter?"
"Bah!" Gui Jianchou scolded, "That girl is originally Sister Ma's."
Ah Jue nodded: "Oh, what next?"
Guijianchou shook his head, pulled out the long knife from his waist with a clanking sound, waved it in front of his eyes, and then sighed.
Said: "If you have the guts, you will be stabbed by me, just like you stabbed Lao Song."
Gui Jianchou didn't say that he wanted to avenge Ergou and the other two, because Ergou and the other dead guy were just gangsters on the streets of the Imperial City, not the people of the big shopkeeper.
Therefore, Gui Jianchou only mentioned Lao Song who had one of his hands cut off.
"Come on!" Until this moment, Ah Jue still didn't take out the kitchen knife stuck at the back of her waist. Looking at Gui Jianchou's eyes, Ah Jue was about to take the knife from him with bare hands.
At this time, Lao Meng and his sister were already standing by the door of the courtyard, staring at everything in front of them.
In the eyes of the brothers and sisters, how could Ajue be a match for this pack of wolves?
"You killed my mother, what else do you want to do!"
Lao Meng suddenly rushed out and yelled at Gui Jianchou: "I will fight with you, and I won't give up my life!" After saying that, he rushed towards Gui Jianchou.
"Looking for death!" Gui saw that he was worried and angry, and with a flash of the long knife in his hand, he slashed forward.
"Bang!" sounded, but it was Ah Jue who slapped Lao Meng into the yard...
Then there was a "click!" sound!
A group of people including Die'er heard the sound of broken bones, but Lao Meng, who flew into the yard, was fine.
Everyone turned around and saw Gui Jianchou rolling on the ground, with a hand holding a knife falling on the other side.
No one saw how Ah Jue cut off one of Gui Jianchou's hands, because until now, Ah Jue's hands were still empty, with nothing in them.
"I'm going to die...how dare you cut off my hand..."
Gui Jianchou was rolling on the ground, but no one in the group behind him dared to rush up and fight Ah Jue because they were all frightened!
In their eyes, the current gloomy-faced fool Ah Jue should be called Guijianchou.
If they don't agree with each other, they cut off other people's hands, and they can't even see clearly.
Seeing Gui Jianchou lying on the ground, Ah Jue said coldly: "Go back and tell your boss, don't force me again and again, I will come to him to settle the score!"
With a sound of "Boom!", a group of people stepped forward and pulled Gui Jianchou and disappeared in front of Jue's eyes like the wind.
He didn't even dare to pick up the severed hand on the ground.
At midnight, the sky was lightly raining.
Ah Jue pulled a carriage from somewhere, pulled the dead old woman, and took Lao Meng and Xiaodie all the way to the pavilion outside the city.
Looking back, Chang'an City was already shrouded in mist and rain.
With a sigh, Ah Jue handed Lao Meng a letter and said quietly: "I have found a place for you brothers and sisters to settle down. Don't come out to be a bricklayer anymore."
"Bury the old lady there too... That way, you can visit her at the grave from time to time and burn a stick of incense for me."
After saying that, Ajue took out another money bag and handed it to Lao Meng: "This is the money I earned in Yingyue Tower. You can take it."
Lao Meng was startled, took Ah Jue's hand and said, "Brother, you can't go back. Please leave with me. If I have a mouthful of food from now on, I guarantee you won't be hungry."
Die'er looked at Ah Jue without saying a word, just biting her lips, tears pouring down her face.
Only she knows how hard it is for Ah Jue to earn all this money. Is it all earned from washing people's feet, pouring night fragrance, and doing laundry?
Even so, she couldn't make a sound.
Because the A Jue in front of her was beyond all her imagination, she had no choice but to accept A Jue's arrangement.
Otherwise, she will be caught by the big shopkeeper and sent back to Yingyue Tower, where she will become Sister Ma's number one.
Ah Jue shook his head, patted Lao Meng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The world is dangerous and not suitable for a kind-hearted person like you. My path is here and I can't follow you."
Lao Meng was startled, held Ah Jue's hand tightly and said, "Go back, the boss's people will beat you to death. There are so many of them, you can't fight them."
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Ah Jue waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "After you leave, no one in the imperial city will recognize me as yesterday's Ah Jue."
Only then did Die'er look at him and say: "My name is Meng Xiaodie, and I am a clean person."
Ah Jue's brows furrowed slightly, then gradually relaxed.
He replied to the brothers and sisters: "When you go there, you will never come back to the world again. Let's go!"
Lao Meng sighed, bowed deeply to Ah Jue, turned around and got into the carriage, flicked off his whip, and the carriage slowly moved forward.
The wheels were turning, the drizzle was falling, and I saw that it would be autumn soon.
From a distance, Die'er's voice came: "Ajue, I'm waiting for you!"
