break the robbery

My father was a businessman, doing some small business in spices.When I was very young, I also learned some business skills from my father.Maybe it's genetics, I seem to have a head for it.

My father worked hard for most of his life and managed to save some money.As a result, one day, when my father got drunk, he went out to show off his wealth, and he would brag about how rich he was when he saw everyone.That night, thieves were recruited at home, a group of bandits who killed people without batting an eyelid.

Those bandits killed people they saw, and robbed them of money.My mother hid me in a water urn, hoping to escape the search of bandits.The father tried his best to protect the money, but he was still robbed by the thieves. He was also cut off his right hand by the thieves, and he was hacked several times on his body.In the end, due to excessive blood loss, he died of serious injuries and left on the spot.

That was the first time I witnessed death with my own eyes, it was so bloody and cruel.I was so frightened that I hid in the water jar and dared not make a sound.

In order to cover me, my mother tried to lure the thieves to another place, but was caught by the thieves too, and there was a lot of sex.My mother was a young lady from a family of officials and eunuchs. When she was bullied like this, she didn't want to be humiliated, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide.

In the end, I was found by thieves who rummaged through boxes and cabinets looking for valuables.I yelled desperately for help, but no one responded.The louder I shouted, the more excited the thieves seemed to be, so I stopped shouting altogether.Everyone in the whole house was slaughtered. Even if I broke my throat, no one would come to rescue me.

Afterwards, the thieves negotiated and sold me to a human trafficker, and I was sold to an old bachelor and alcoholic by the human trafficker, saying that they wanted me to be his godson.In the end, because I refused to call him godfather, he almost beat me to death.

He is not only an alcoholic, addicted to alcohol, but also a gambler, addicted to gambling.One night he got drunk and went to the casino, lost his fortune, and ended up betting on me.In the end, he still lost.So, I lost out to the casino again.

How could such a shrewd casino owner spend spare money to support a child who can't do anything.So, I was sold to human traffickers again by the casino owner.

Later, unwilling to accept my fate, I tried to escape several times, but was arrested and beaten severely, and I was not given food for three days and three nights.Finally, one time, in the dead of night, when the traffickers were fast asleep, I secretly broke open the lock and escaped.As a result, he was discovered by traffickers before he went far.

I panicked and ran all the time, just wanting to get as far away from them as possible, so as not to let them catch up.They chased me yelling and killing me for a long time, and chased me to the edge of a river, and I jumped down without hesitation.

The river water in early spring is icy cold.Although I could swim, my hands and feet cramped from the cold after a while, and my physical strength was even more exhausted.Fortunately, none of the traffickers went into the water. I don't know if they can't swim or they are afraid of the cold water in the river.

Before I was fainted by the cold of the river, I met the old team leader's red boat.That year, I was 12 years old.

After being saved, I wanted to seek refuge with my grandfather.If possible, I hope he can help me find the murderer and avenge my parents.After all, he is an official. Although his official position is not high, he is a ninth-rank sesame official, but he is a local parental official after all, and it is easier to handle things than ordinary people.

But when I went to Grandpa's mansion, I found out that Grandpa was not in good health a while ago, and after hearing that our Liu family was massacred and his most beloved youngest daughter was not spared, he died in a fit of anger.And my grandma didn't like me since I was a child, and now that my grandpa is gone, she kicked me out without saying a word.

Grandma is the mistress of my mother's natal family, but not my mother's biological mother.The mother was originally born in a concubine's house, and the concubine's mother had never seen her face until she died. I heard from my grandmother that she was a lowly prostitute in a brothel outside and was not allowed in the house, so she never brought her back to the mansion.The mother has never met her biological mother, and she has been dependent on others since she was a child.

Fortunately, my mother was smart and smart, and my grandfather liked her very much.Unfortunately, grandma is jealous, she can't see mother getting better, and always tries to make things difficult for her.When she reached the age of marriage, grandma married off her mother early, without preparing any valuable dowry, and asked her father for a lot of betrothal gifts.

But my father really liked my mother, so he didn't care about the money at all.My father always said that if you lose money, you can earn more, but if you lose people, you really have nothing.But now, I don't understand why my father is so obsessed with money.

After that, I went to seek refuge with many relatives and friends who usually had a good relationship, but they were all turned away.Only then did I realize that their relationship with their father was only because they were greedy for his money.When it is profitable, we are relatives and friends. Now the Liu family has been ruined and all the property has been looted, and I, the young master of the Liu family, are nothing.

After several twists and turns, finally, I came to Hongyefang again.

Before I knew it, I had been in Hongyefang for six years.He doesn't have much talent for singing, but he knows how to calculate tea, rice, oil and salt, probably because his father is also in business.Most of the time I go shopping for the food and drink expenses of the big guys.The old class leader said, I can only rest assured when I go to him.

To me, the old class master is my reborn parents.He gave me a big warm family again, provided me with food and clothing, and taught me the ability to sing an opera, although I didn't learn it well.Sometimes, he will also tell us some principles of life, or tell us some stories about his youth.

When he was around, although everyone was afraid of him, they respected and loved him in their hearts.If it weren't for him to reward us with food, we people would have long since died of starvation.No matter how hard or tiring the entire Hongyefang is, everyone is happy and harmonious. The Red Boat is another warm family after our families have been destroyed. Everyone is each other's relatives.

However, people cannot fight the sky after all.It wasn't until that night that everyone witnessed the old moderator's death that we suddenly understood that we were no longer children, and we could no longer act willfully, let the old team leader clean up the mess, and no longer entertain the old team leader's knees.

On the day after the old class leader left, we watched Senior Brother Bai send Junior Brother Rong away. After all, Senior Brother Bai was also our class leader at that time, and we all listened to him.

Before leaving, Junior Brother Rong asked Senior Brother Bai to sing "The Peony Pavilion" again, and he chose the tenth episode - "Dream".Senior Brother Bai didn't refuse either, he put on a face and confronted Junior Brother Rong for the last scene.

"Meng Hui Ying twitter, chaotic years are everywhere. People set up small courtyards and deep courtyards." Junior Brother Rong still had such a nice voice when he opened his voice, as if he was really a woman.

……

"It turns out that there are so many beautiful purples and reds blooming all over the world, and they are all ruined like this. What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day, who's home to enjoy the pleasure!" This is the first time I can hear the sadness from Junior Brother Rong's voice, probably it was also sung by Junior Brother Rong own voice.

At the time of farewell, everyone felt a little bit reluctant, but Junior Brother Rong, as a person who is about to go on a long journey, has no hope of returning, so how sad and desolate should be in his heart.Senior Brother Bai is the person that Junior Brother Rong cares about the most, but now, it is Senior Brother Bai who wants him to leave.

"The cuckoos are singing red all over the green mountains, and the shreds of tobacco are drunk and soft outside the tea. The fragrance of spring, although the peony is good, how can he take the lead in spring return!"

……

When Junior Brother Rong was on stage, his eyes swept over all of us one by one.When I saw me here, I lowered my head involuntarily.Looking left and right, except for the candied haws, everyone else is like me, not daring to look at Senior Brother Shang Rong, even Senior Brother Bai who is standing on the stage performing with him is no exception.

It was as if we had all abandoned him.In fact, it is true, we abandoned Junior Brother Rong for our own survival.From the beginning to the end, except for the candied haws, none of us had a single word to hold back.Because we know that if Junior Brother Rong doesn't go with that official, we will be the ones who will suffer.

"Chunwang Xiaoyao came out of the painting hall, and the plums covered the willows. Can you tell where Liu Ruan meets people? Looking back at the east wind, I am heartbroken."

At the end of the song, everyone watched the wonderful performance of the two on stage, as if they had returned to the time when they were on the red boat.Everyone was talking and laughing, lively.The old class leader seemed to be sternly correcting our shortcomings, but in fact he was very satisfied with Rong Rong's performance.

I still remember when the old class leader agreed to allow Junior Brother Rong to formally join the class, he was so happy that he was stupid, and stood there blankly, not knowing what to do, Senior Brother Bai reminded him.Yesterday's laughter was still in my ears, but now I want to say goodbye with tears in my eyes. Thousands of words finally turned into one: "Treasure."

Senior Brother Bai accepted a lot of money from the official. Although he hesitated again and again, he finally accepted it.I thought he wouldn't want it. In this way, it was tantamount to selling Junior Brother Rong to someone else.After receiving the money, Junior Brother Rong is no longer my member of Hongyefang, and from now on, life or death will depend on his face.

Candied haws cried and shouted all the way and ran after the carriage for several streets.In the end, he couldn't run anymore, and accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground, watching the carriage go away in front of him, never to be seen again.Candied haws didn't even get up, but lay down on the ground and burst into tears.

The carriage passed by, bringing up the rolling loess, and the candied haws' face was soon turned into a big dirty painted face by the loess stained by snot and tears.That was the first time I saw Tanghuluer crying and making a fuss after Senior Brother Bai came back from the dead, and it was also the last time.

It's not just candied haws, who wouldn't feel sad when Junior Brother Rong left?The imperial capital is thousands of miles away from here. At that time, who didn't know that the younger brother was allowed to go here, and we will see each other indefinitely.

In fact, senior brother Bai is also reluctant to let his junior brother leave, but he also has reasons beyond his control.After the old leader left, Senior Brother Bai, as Hongyefang's new leader, had to put Hongyefang first in everything. No matter how much he was reluctant, he had to let Junior Brother Rong leave with the official.The burden of the new class leader cannot be up to him to continue to act willfully and recklessly, and he has to find ways to preserve the wealth and lives of brothers like us.It might be worth it to give up Junior Brother Rong alone, in exchange for everyone's safety.No matter how sad Senior Brother Bai was, he could only give up Junior Brother Rong in exchange for Hongyefang's longevity.

Since then, the theater troupe has become deserted, without our backbone old troupe master, without Junior Brother Rong who has attracted countless applause from the audience, and the candied haws are no longer noisy. Ah Hua and the others are already planning to leave here to find another way out.At that time, I knew that the theater troupe was disbanded.

Since the old class leader passed away and Junior Brother Rong left, in less than half a year, things have changed and people have gone.When I stepped into this courtyard again, it was already ten years later.At that time, I was a businessman, returning to my old business, doing some small business of spices.

When I left, only Senior Brother Bai and Tanghulu'er were left in the team.Because the candied haws were too young to support themselves after leaving, he stayed in the garden all the time.

Before leaving, Senior Brother Bai took out the bank note that he had prepared for me, and let me use it as the capital to earn a living in the future.Although the amount of the bank note was considerable, it was indeed very tempting, but I did not accept it.I am ashamed of the money Junior Brother Rong exchanged his life for.I don't know how to use it, and I don't dare to use it, because I'm afraid I'm sorry for my conscience.

Walking on the streets in midsummer, watching the bustling crowd.The sun is hot, but I feel the biting coolness.Since then, I have never seen Junior Brother Rong again.
