Liang Xingyang walked into the door with heavy and fast steps, walked through the courtyard, pushed open the broken wooden door and walked inside.
The main body of the house is made of wood, with three rooms in total. He first ran into the east room where Lao Mang and his mother lived. There was no one there, and then turned to the west room.
There is a little boy chained on the ground in the west room. He is the son of Sun Jiyao and Lao Mang. He has no real name, but his nickname is Cai Gen.
Cai Gen is Sun Jiyao's second child after she got married. He is less than three years old. He has a big head and a small body. He is not wearing any clothes. His left ankle is locked by an iron chain and he is crawling on the ground like a puppy. Play.
Seeing someone coming in, Cai Gen sat up on his knees and looked at Liang Xingyang with big eyes. He looked again and again and opened his mouth: "Brother...brother."
Liang Xingyang has been taking care of Caigen since she was born, and Lao Mang naturally doesn't care about it. Sun Jiyao has to do housework, and she also has to make mountain goods and sell them in the city to buy wine and meat for Lao Mang. The job of taking care of the child falls on Liang Xingyang. This child The first word that came out was "brother".
Cai Gen was dirty all over, with urine and feces stuck to his body. He stood up hard, shook his big head and rushed towards Liang Xingyang.
Liang Xingyang supported him: "Why are you locked here? Where is my mother?"
"Mom?" Cai Gen thought hard, "Mom was beaten by dad... she slept here, and the next day, she was hard, cold... and died!"
Liang Xingyang felt his heart tighten and clenched his fists. Sun Jiyao, his biological mother in this world, the extremely stupid woman who gave birth to him in ten months of pregnancy, finally died!
In fact, he had long expected that Sun Jiyao would be beaten to death by Lao Mang, but no matter how he tried to persuade her, Sun Jiyao remained unmoved. Instead, she worked harder, working from morning to night, while humming the "Golden Lantern of Doomsday" song. "Jie Yin Redemption Song" while working happily, looking forward to being able to "pay off the debt" as soon as possible, and then reconcile with Lao Mang, and the family will be in harmony, make a "big ascension", and run hand in hand towards the light!
Sun Jiyao was beaten by Lao Gang more than once, vomited blood, coughed up blood, and suffered fractured ribs and broken collarbones. However, she still did not complain at all and did not ask the doctor to take medicine. She just lay on the bed and recited the "Three Worlds of Karma and Repaying Debts" with great piety. .
If she falls down, Lao Mang will ask Liang Xingyang to do her job. If she doesn't get her way, she will beat him too, but she will never stop her, she will just chant sutras with a peaceful face on her face!
Liang Xingyang couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran out alone. Now, just over a year later, she was beaten to death.
He could imagine that before she died, her mother must have been unwilling to do so. She must have been struggling hard, hoping to regain her breath and live for a few more years, for no other reason than to die in this way according to the golden lantern. According to the teachings of the religion, one will become a beast in the next life, and the debt has not been repaid. In the next life, he will be led back by the Golden Lantern Master, and he will have to continue to pay off the debt!
She is just a stupid woman who yearns for light in her heart.
It's a pity that I still couldn't see the light until my death.
Liang Xingyang asked Shi Yao to go to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, use a fairy sword to chop the iron rings on Cai Gen's feet, and give him a bath first.
He went to find Cai Gen's small clothes in the cupboard. They were all dirty.
He and his mother made these little clothes for Caigen together. They had five or six sets of clothes since he was a child. Now there is only one set left, still stained with feces and urine, and thrown in the corner.
Liang Xingyang simply didn't care whose clothes it was, found clean ones, cut them with scissors, and quickly threaded the needle and thread to make clothes for the vegetable roots.
He did it unhurriedly and unhurriedly.
He was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to wait until Lao Mang came back and chop off the villain's head before leaving.
Shi Yan followed his instructions and cooked a pot of porridge with chopped vegetable leaves and millet, and fed it to the vegetable roots with a spoon.
Liang Xingyang was very good at needlework. He finished a small dress and a pair of trousers in less than two hours, put Cai Gen on, and then sat on a chair to meditate, no longer moving or talking.
Cai Gen had seen his brother do this in the past. He was used to playing by himself, so he played with a dirty little cloth tiger on the bed.
Time passed by minute by second, the sun gradually set, and it became dark, but Lao Mang still did not come back.
Liang Xingyang decided not to wait any longer, stood up and asked Cai Gen: "Brother is leaving. Do you want to stay with dad, or go with brother?"
Cai Gen looked at him and grinned, opening his hands to hug him: "Follow brother! Follow brother!"
Liang Xingyang let out a long breath: "Whether you come with me or not, I will come back and kill your father."
"Kill daddy!" Caigen smiled and patted the cloth tiger in front of him, "Kill daddy!"
This child had been malnourished since childhood and his brain was not fully developed. Liang Xingyang had no intention of letting him make a decision. No matter what Caigen said, he would take him away. Anyway, he was going to kill Lao Mang, and the child wouldn't be able to survive on his own.
The difference is that if Cai Gen says he is willing to follow his brother, he will take him with him and raise him personally; if he says he wants to follow his father, he will find a family and send him there as a son.
Liang Xingyang found a blanket to wrap the vegetable roots, and let Shi Qi carry him outside. The world was pitch dark, and Lao Mang still hadn't come back.
"Let's go!" He flew into the air. This time he did not wield a sword, but the wind. After cultivating into the Great Zhoutian, he would be able to sense the natural energy of heaven and earth. After entering the realm of the Perfect Circle, he would be able to swim like a fish in water. , control the air to rise into the air, but the speed is very slow, equivalent to the "climbing clouds" mentioned by Patriarch Bodhi in Journey to the West, and it is greatly affected by the direction and force of the wind. The advantage is that there is no sword light, it is silent, and it is not easy to be discovered.
He took Shi Yao away from Xiaoqingshan, returned to Liangzhou Fucheng, and found a large house in the south of the city.
This is the ancestral home of the Liang family, with ancestral halls and so on. He found the courtyard where the patriarch Liang Weigang was in the air. After there were fewer people, he landed in the courtyard and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Liang Weigang asked inside.
"My nephew Tianbao, please see my uncle."
The door was quickly opened, and the maid came out. When she saw it was him, she was stunned, and then looked at Shi Yao: "Master lets you in."
Liang Weigang is in his forties this year. He is Liang Weixian's cousin. He looked at Liang Xingyang with concern and surprise: "Tianbao, you followed your mother in Xiaoqingshan, how are you doing now? I heard about her for a long time They don’t even come to the city to sell mountain products.”
He thought that his nephew was living a hard life, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be fair and clean, and the clothes he wore were also made of very expensive materials.
"My mother is dead!" Liang Xingyang said expressionlessly.
Liang Weigang sighed after hearing this: "She came to the city to sell chestnuts half a year ago. Some people saw her face bruised and her front teeth missing. She was walking on a pole. She had to hold her waist to slow down before she walked ten feet. After that, I never came to the city again. I heard that the Golden Lamp Cultists are not allowed to collect corpses and all must be cremated. Have you collected her ashes? We have to agree on one thing first. It doesn’t matter where you want to bury her. It’s okay to buy her a piece outside, I can pay for it, but I’m not allowed to enter the Liang family’s ancestral graves!”
