"You know?"
"I know."
"How do you know?"
"Zhou Side knocked on the door of our house and asked my grandfather to help him treat his injury. I saw it, even though he kept saying that his right hand was injured. It was bitten off by a wolf, but I know that if it was really bitten off by a wolf, the broken part of his wrist would not be so smooth, so I know he was lying to us." Zhou Baopu smiled, this is
Yao Ruoxi, just relying on this At one point, it was determined that Zhou Side's right hand was chopped off by Zhou Baopu with a sickle.
"You promised me you wouldn't hurt anyone again. Why did he offend you and make you so angry?"
Seeing Zhou Baopu's frozen body, Yao Ruoxi slowly walked up to Zhou Baopu's back and gently hugged him. He grabbed Zhou Baopu's waist.
With the beautiful girl in his arms, Zhou Baopu pushed Yao Ruoxi away and said coldly: "Tonight, he scaled our courtyard wall." "
Because of this, maybe he just wanted to steal something?"
"But, what's in his mouth ?" He said dirty words. Those words were aimed at my mother. Do you think I can spare him?"
Zhou Baopu's face seemed to be frosty, and he continued angrily: "Anyone in Zhouzhuang , I don’t want to hurt them, as long as they don’t mess with me. But, Zhou Side, this bastard, dares to be disrespectful to my mother, how could I let him go so easily?” Yao Ruoxi looked at Zhou Baopu and pushed her away, feeling unreasonable
. After a moment of disappointment, when I heard Zhou Baopu talk about the whole story, I completely put myself in Zhou Baopu's shoes and came to see the whole thing.
"I heard that when Zhou Yuan came back, you two quarreled?"
Yao Ruoxi deliberately changed the subject, just because she didn't want Zhou Baopu to get entangled in this matter, and it was said that when Zhou Baopu was quarreling with Zhou Yuan, he seemed She is quite confident. Because she knows Zhou Baopu very well and knows that Zhou Baopu would not be so confident if it were not for the uncertain things, so Yao Ruoxi asked this question.
Zhou Baopu's face darkened, and then he thought of the little black turtle. However, he searched the whole room and couldn't find it, so he gave up looking.
"What are you looking for?"
Yao Ruoxi couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhou Baopu rummaging around.
"Turtle bastard."
Zhou Baopu said casually, not noticing the change in Yao Ruoxi's face.
"Zhou Baopu, don't change the subject. Are you really sure that you can catch up with Zhou Yuanyuan?" "I'm not sure
. I just said it casually. At that time, it was just out of anger and anger."
In front of Yao Ruoxi, Zhou Baopu There was no concealment or pretense, and no sense of shame at all, as if saying those crazy things was a matter of course.
"Don't leave, okay? I want to talk to you tonight."
Suddenly, Zhou Baopu came to Yao Ruoxi's side, put his arms around Yao Ruoxi's waist and said.
Yao Ruoxi softened and wanted to refuse, but didn't know how to refuse, so she had to say angrily: "You know I won't refuse you, but you have to say yes first, and you are not allowed to do anything bad!" "I just want to make peace with you
. You talk, and besides, how can I cause harm?"
The oil lamp was swaying, and the girl's shy eyes were shining brightly, as if water would drip out. The moon was hidden in the clouds by the wind at some point, as if it was As if I was sorry to see what happened.
The lights went out quietly, and there was only the sound of the wind. Zhou Baopu lay on the bed, hugging Yao Ruoxi, and said softly: "How many times is this?" "The third one." "Yes. The
first
one happened six years ago. I was nine years old at the time, and had just learned how to use a sickle to collect herbs. At that time, Zhou Sicheng blatantly wanted to marry my mother by force, but my mother did not agree. Then he threatened, and I directly scratched him with a sickle that I had just used. throat. And attracted the hungry wolves in the mountains, who swallowed that bastard Zhou Sicheng into his stomach, while I hid in the tree myself, and waited until the evening of the next day before I met your grandfather collecting herbs. You brought me back from the wolves."
Yao Ruoxi held Zhou Baopu's hand tightly, she could feel Zhou Baopu's body shaking, and she silently supported the boy holding her.
"I don't know why, but my mother knew that I had killed someone. She made me kneel in front of Zhou Sicheng's grave for three days and three nights, and she almost starved to death. From then on, I never dared to kill anyone again, not because of me. I don't want to, not because I'm afraid, but because I don't want my mother to be sad for me."
Zhou Baopu felt his hand being firmly grasped by the girl, and knew that Yao Ruoxi was listening to him seriously, so he continued to talk.
"That time, I learned to be tolerant. However, the year before last, that bastard Zhou Sixue actually had an idea for my mother. I learned the previous lesson and only took one of his left arms. However, after my mother found out, she still I was punished by kneeling on the washboard for a day and a night."
Yao Ruoxi held Zhou Baopu's hand and said, "Auntie should know that the things you did were all for your mother's good." "
Of course my mother knows, but she I don't want my hands to be stained with blood for her." "
Originally, I thought that these people were enough, but who knew that just tonight, that bastard Zhou Side would dare to climb over the wall of my house, you Do you think I can spare him lightly? But because of the previous lesson, I just broke one of his hands." "
Baopu, when you kill and hurt others, don't you feel scared?" "
Of course I will feel scared. , but in order to prevent my mother from being hurt, what does it matter to be afraid?"
Yao Ruoxi closed her eyes. Zhou Baopu told her that when Zhou Sicheng was killed for the first time, Zhou Baopu was sitting in a branch of a tree, watching helplessly as Zhou Sicheng His corpse was swallowed bit by bit by the wolves. His intestines were full of blood and dripping with blood, which made him feel sick.
Yao Ruoxi had never seen such a scene, but through Zhou Baopu's trembling figure, she already vaguely knew that Zhou Baopu had been protecting Wang Caifeng for so many years.
"I know these things. You told me. Then how did Aunt Wang know?" "
I don't know either. As far as my mother is concerned, I am her son, and she can think of anything. I know."
For some reason, Yao Ruoxi always felt that Wang Caifeng was lying, but it was difficult to bring it up in front of Zhou Baopu, so it stuck in her heart.
"Is he okay?"
"Back to Princess, he's okay. Zhou Side just broke one of his hands. It seems that Baopu is really afraid of you, otherwise he wouldn't be more merciful every time." Yao Qian looked at him
. Looking at the woman in front of him, he said with a smile.
"This time he is wise, but he still has to be punished."
"He is doing it for your own good."
"I know. But you can't be so bloody, otherwise once you fall into the devil's way, it will be too late.
"Princess , the reason why you don't let Baopu enter the path of blood refining, is it because you are afraid of these, afraid that he will make the same mistake as Zhou Kunlun! Wang
Caifeng paused and scolded sternly: "Shut up, at such an old age, have you forgotten the rules?"
"Princess, calm down. I'm just begging for mercy for the child Baopu. Please spare him. " In my opinion, it is better to let him embark on the path of blood refining. "
