Chapter 55 Confess
The wing room on the east side was originally a guest room for guests, but after Pei Xiaoer checked in, he transformed it into his own study.
The moonlight is particularly bright tonight, and the moonlight shines on the branches and casts shadows on the ground.
In the study, Pei Xiaoer sat at the table, waiting quietly. A candlelight flashed, and a few plates of side dishes and a pot of old wine were placed on the table.
Suddenly, a light knock came from outside the door, as if confirming whether there was someone inside. Pei Xiaoer came to the door with a happy expression and opened the door. In the flashing candlelight, a familiar face reflected that was Pei Decai.
"Uncle Decai, come and sit down." Pei Xiaoer warmly welcomed Pei Decai to the house. It seemed like a different life when we met the old man.
Pei Xiaoer personally poured a glass of wine for Pei Decai and handed it to him. "Uncle Decai, why are you a man who is a tiger?"
Pei Decai took the wine handed over by Pei Xiaoer in a little panic. He put it in front of him, sighed and said slowly. "That day, you left Peijiazhuang with County Magistrate Tian. Peijiazhuang has been stable for a while. Unfortunately, the world did not meet the wishes. Not long after, Liu Guozhong came.
All the servants in the village were taken away by the magistrate Tian, and no one guarded the village. Liu Guozhong took down Peijiazhuang with one charge. In this way, I was handed over to the Earth Tiger as a captive. Later, I became a Earth Tiger." After that, I smiled with a self-deprecating smile.
"By the way, haven't you said yet? Why have you become a general?" Pei Decai changed his mind and asked Pei Xiaoer.
Pei Xiaoer also smiled bitterly and briefly told Pei Decai about his experience. However, the plain narrative revealed the risk of a lifetime, which made people feel a little scared.
"It's not easy for you!" Pei Decai sighed.
"I won't talk about this anymore, come on, drink and drink." Pei Xiaoer picked up the glass and toasted Pei Decai.
After a glass of wine, a warm feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.
"Uncle Decai, then how did you come to me?" Pei Xiaoer stopped the chopsticks and asked curiously.
"It's the master. I once sent something to the Tiger Mansion. At that time, the master was choosing someone who could go with you to join me." Pei Decai's eyes were filled with memories. "At that time, everyone called me Lao Pei, Lao Pei's. The master happened to hear it, maybe because my surname was Pei, and I had the same surname as you.
I asked me and learned that I was from Peijiazhuang with you, and even got married. So I called me over and came with me."
Master? Pei Xiaoer didn't expect that this matter would actually contact Master.
Seeing Pei Xiaoer muttering the word "Master" in his mouth, Pei Decai suddenly lowered his voice. "I heard that the Master had a conflict with the Tiger of the Earth. Did the Tiger of the Earth accidentally injured the Master?"
"Oh? Is there anything wrong?" Pei Xiaoer narrowed his eyes. This master regarded himself as a loyal dog on the ground, but he didn't expect that the two of them would have conflicts.
Pei Xiaoer poured him another glass of wine, "Do you know why?"
"I don't know very well," Pei Decai shook his head. After a few glasses of wine, his face was obviously rosy. "By the way, when I came, the master pulled me and said he wanted to give this to you."
As he said that, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Pei Xiaoer.
Master gave me something? Pei Xiaoer took the letter and was full of doubts. He didn't remember having an association with Master when he was in Wenxi County, but he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to write to himself.
Seeing that Pei Xiaoer had taken the letter, Pei Decai didn't say anything, and laughed. He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one go.
Pei Xiaoer knew that he must have known something when he saw his expression. "Uncle Decai, guess what is written in this letter?"
"What else can it be?" Pei Decai sneered and drank another glass of wine. "The Tiger on the ground is going to deal with Liu Guozhong. He is ordered to stabilize you!"
Pei Xiaoer opened the letter and browsed it for a while. Sure enough, he threw it aside as Pei Decai said.
Pei Xiaoer gave Pei Decai again. Pei Decai obviously had a lot of things in his heart. He picked up the wine glass and was about to eat it again. Pei Xiaoer hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle Decai, you are drunk."
"No, I'm not drunk." Pei Decai drank the wine in the glass again and threw it heavily on the table.
"Waiter, you are promising now. But don't forget that you came from our Peijiazhuang." Pei Decai burped, "I remember that when your brother was going to take the imperial examination, but his family was poor! He couldn't afford to support a seed of studying. It was Mr. Pei. After hearing the news, he took the initiative to exempt your family from rent.
Your mother was dysfunctional when she gave birth to your younger brother. It was Mr. Pei who went to Wenxi County to invite the most famous doctor in the county to come over, which saved your mother's life.
Later, when the bandits harmed Peijiazhuang, Mr. Pei vacated all the empty houses in his house for the nearby tenants to live in. It can be said that, who among the hundreds of people in Peijiazhuang has not received the favor of Mr. Pei? But what is the result?"
When Pei Decai said this, his eyes, which had always been smiling, had tears in their eyes. He picked up the wine pot next to him and took a big mouthful. "As a result, when Mr. Pei died, he couldn't even find his entire body. I secretly ran to the Pei family in the middle of the night, and I searched and searched among the dead people alone.
I found one arm, but couldn't find another one. I found half of my body, but couldn't find the end. In the end, I really had no choice but to dig a hole and bury all the found. I didn't even dare to erect a monument, I was afraid that the beasts would dig up all the graves."
When Pei Decai said this, tears blurred his face and took another sip of wine. "There is also a lady, the wife lives in a quiet place and is kind and kind. What a good person. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a Bodhisattva in the world? But what's the result? As a result, she was ruined by dozens of animals. Why doesn't the world let good people live long? Why doesn't the heaven open his eyes?"
After saying that, the man in his forties actually started to cry loudly.
Pei Xiaoer listened quietly without interrupting. Seeing him like this, he felt so uncomfortable. He sighed and reached out to pat Pei Decai on the shoulder.
"But today I figured it out." Pei Decai suddenly raised his head, wiped away the tears from his face, and the flashing lights reflected on his twisted face, "Since God has let me live, I will show him life. I want to let all the damn beasts go to hell."
Pei Xiaoer suddenly felt a little cold and stepped forward to support him, "Uncle Decai, you are drunk." He said that, and he let him go outside the door and shouted, "Come here, send Uncle Decai back to rest."
Soon two personal soldiers came in and helped Pei Decai, who was still clamoring for him to leave.
"No one should explain what happened tonight?" Pei Xiaoer said sternly to his personal soldiers.
"Yes, my subordinates obey the order"
