Yuan Qi exited the room and changed into night clothes.

As soon as the ugly time comes, he starts running down the mountain.

Under the dark night, his shadow is thin and agile, like a ghost.

There was a precedent of being followed by Su Sheng, so he acted extra cautiously this time.

After making sure that no one was around, he quietly sneaked into Old Man Su's house.

He easily climbed over the wall and approached Su Zibai's room. He hid under the window and observed the situation inside the house through the gap.

The room was dark, and under the moonlight, Su Zibai himself was lying on the bed, his face pale.

Strange, why does he look like a dead person?

Yuan Qi frowned and quietly climbed into the house through the window.

Su Zibai lay quietly, unaware of the approaching danger.

Yuan Qi walked to his bedside, put the dagger on it, raised the knife with his hand, and stabbed the dagger into Su Zibai's heart.

There was no struggle, no eyes opened, not even a movement.

Yuan Qi put away the dagger and looked at the man on the bed strangely.

He touched his body. It was cold and a little stiff. He had been dead for at least two or three hours.

I pulled back my clothes and found no injuries.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Qi put away the dagger, turned and left the house.

He easily climbed over the wall and disappeared into the night.

Never mind, his mission is accomplished.

……

The next morning.

Susheng was about to fetch water to wash her face when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

"Is it Sheng girl? Your master asked me to tell you something."

A hunchbacked woman wearing linen clothes shouted from across the yard, "Brother Bai'er had an accident this morning. I heard he was stabbed to death at night. Alas, I don't know who was so cruel."

The woman wiped her eyes: "Your grandma said that she will be buried tonight. All of you brothers and sisters should come to pay homage and give your cousin a ride."

After saying that, the woman said a few more words. What she said was nothing more than saying that the dead were the most important and they were all one family, so don't care too much.

Su Sheng looked up and saw that the other party didn't see her eldest brother, and he didn't respond. So she simply ignored him.

The visitor was my aunt, the old man's biological sister. Before she was born, she was married to Lujiacun.

The reason why I recognized him was because this aunt brought the things she had brought from moving every two days to the old man.

She had no grudge against this eldest aunt, she just looked down on her.

I have been cowardly all my life and put the old man first in everything. As a result, my husband and wife are now at odds and our children are not close to each other.

In Lao Qiu's words, even if he is a demon who helps his younger brother, there is no one like him who lives like this.

The eldest aunt muttered a few words, felt that she was asking for trouble, shook her head and left.

Susheng expressionlessly wrung out the face towel, put it on her face and rubbed it.

The attack was quite fast, and with Yuan Qi's three-legged cat skills, she thought she wouldn't be able to do it in just one night.

After washing her face, Susheng sat next to Sumo, picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

She took a bite, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, "Brother, don't take the pills I gave you yesterday. I'll make something else for you later."

The effect of the medicine is still too strong. Qi Shuheng, a person who has to endure pain all year round, can't stand it, let alone his eldest brother?

It still needs to be improved.

Hearing this, Su Mo was a little confused, "Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

He has already finished eating!

"There's nothing wrong with the medicine, but I might feel uncomfortable after taking it." Susheng frowned, doubting her own control.

"It's okay." Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "I just finished taking the medicine. I took one pill when you gave it to me, and one pill before going to bed last night. I took the last pill with breakfast, so you rinse your mouth. That time."

"Have you finished eating?" Su Sheng raised her head in surprise and pursed her lips, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it just hurts for a while. Just bear with it and it'll be fine." Su Mo smiled and said, "I feel much better. I can get up by myself this morning."

Su Sheng was confused for a moment, and finally thought that Qi Shuheng was too weak to bear any pain.

"By the way, Shengsheng, your third brother has soaked some vegetable seeds in water for you. You can plant them together when he comes back in the evening."

Susheng turned her head and looked at the vegetables beside her that were floating.

The end of March is the best time for growing vegetables.

"I'll go take a look." After finishing the cake in a few seconds, she walked over and stretched her hand over the basin.

The green light flashed past and quickly entered the inside of the seed.

In this way, you don’t have to worry about pests and the plants won’t survive.

"Brother, where are the second and third brothers?"

Su Sheng took back her hand and sat back to drink porridge.

"Your second brother took Uncle Zhang's ox cart to the county before dawn. He said he was going to the temple to seek amulets and get rid of bad luck. Your third brother was afraid that something might happen to him on the way, so he went with him."

Su Mo smiled and said, "I guess there are so many things happening in my uncle's house that your second brother, a non-believer in Buddhism, is now a little suspicious."

Su Mo thought about it, but still didn't mention the fact that Su Xiao had warned him many times during the night not to get close to his third cousin.

Recently, it is true that whoever plays well with Su Zifeng will be unlucky.

To be honest, he also felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, since the family is separated, they only need to take care of themselves.

"Brother, do you want to worship them?" Susheng looked at him inquiringly.

In the previous life, the uncle's family did a great job for them.

In this life, she only intervened to save her brother and the others from death.

To put it bluntly, if Big Brother and the others tolerate the past because their lives have improved, then she feels that she really saved them in vain.

"I don't want to." Su Mo said with a smile, "Just think that the elder brother is cruel."

"Only those who are cruel can live well."

Su Hong stood at the door of the east room at some point. He said with a serious expression: "My uncle and my second brother taught me since I was a child to tell the truth, not to lie, and to be a kind child in the future. But I think my sister is right. Faced with the beatings from our grandparents, we should learn to be flexible and blindly speak truth and observe filial piety. That is stubbornness and a wrong choice of not treating ourselves kindly!"

Susheng loosened her clenched fingers slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, his casual words would actually be listened to by Su Hong.

Su Mo was a little dazed when he heard it, and it took him a while before he laughed out loud, "Xiao Wu is right."

When the porridge reached the bottom, he put down his spoon and bent down to open the wooden box.

Su Sheng glanced at it accidentally, lowered her head and picked up six strings of copper coins from his wooden box.

Six passes in total.

Su Mo was stunned, "Maybe it was my uncle who put it there. In order to help us these years, my uncle's own life has not been good. Now that we have separated, we have chickens at home. When the time comes, we won't need many chickens to grow vegetables." Money, please pay it back later."

"Okay." Su Sheng lowered her eyes and put the money away.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Su Mo asked.

"It's okay." Su Sheng frowned slightly. He looked like Qi Shuheng's pitiful look all night. It was strange that he could sleep well.

"Brother, I have a friend. She likes to watch others cry. Do you think it's weird?"

Su Mo paused and blinked in confusion: "Your friend has a grudge against that person? She wants to see him suffer?"

"No, no, no, she doesn't want him to be in pain, she just wants to make him cry and then hug and coax him."

Su Sheng had a cold face and thought to herself: Am I a pervert?

"Is it him, not her?"

How could my sister have such strange friends?

Su Mo was silent for a moment, "There is a kind of man who may have this idea when he likes a woman."

"Brother, tell me more." Su Sheng put her chin in her hands and looked serious.

Su Mo's ears were slightly red. He didn't even like anyone yet. How could he explain this kind of thing?

"Deliberately teasing, maybe he thinks the other person is beautiful when she cries. I heard that a woman's eyes are red and she acts coquettishly, and it is easy for men to love her. From my personal point of view, normal men will be jealous when they see the fragile side of a woman. Born with a desire to protect.”

Susheng nodded as if she understood: "So, this is love?"

"Not entirely, but there should be some excitement." Su Mo was about to say something else, when he heard Su Hong reading.

"Mencius said: The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. A city of three miles and a country of seven miles can't be defeated if you surround it. Attack it if you surround it..."

Su Sheng raised her face and said, "Brother, you go back to your room and read first."

"Oh!" Su Hong took Su Xiao's book and read aloud. He entered the room while reading.
