Chapter 55 Confess
The east wing was originally a guest room for entertaining guests, but after Pei Xiaoer moved in, he transformed it into his own study.
The moonlight is particularly bright tonight, the moonlight shines on the branches and casts little shadows on the ground.
In the study, Pei Xiaoer sat at the table, waiting quietly. A candle light flickered on and off. There were several dishes of side dishes and a pot of old wine on the table.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door, as if to confirm if there was someone inside. Pei Xiaoer came to the door with a happy face and opened the door. In the flickering candlelight, a familiar face was revealed, which was Pei Decai.
"Uncle Decai, come and sit down." Pei Xiaoer warmly welcomed Pei Decai into the house and took a seat. Meeting old people felt like they were worlds apart.
Pei Xiaoer personally poured a glass of wine for Pei Decai and handed it to him. "Uncle Decai, why have you become a land tiger?"
Pei Decai took the wine handed over by Pei Xiaoer with some trepidation. He put it in front of him, sighed and said slowly, "That day, you left Peijiazhuang with Tianzhi County. Peijiazhuang was relatively stable for a while. It's a pity that God failed to fulfill his wishes.
, not long after, Liu Guozhong came.
All the servants in Zhuangzi were taken away by Tianzhi County, and there was no one to guard the village. Liu Guozhong captured Peijiazhuang with one charge. In this way, I was handed over to Si Dihu as a prisoner. Later, I became
I’m a fool.” After saying that, he smiled to himself.
"By the way, I haven't talked about you yet? How did you become a general?" Pei Decai suddenly changed his tone and asked about Pei Xiaoer.
Pei Xiaoer also gave a wry smile and briefly told Pei Decai his experience. The plain description revealed the risk of a narrow escape, which made people a little scared.
"It's not easy for you too!" Pei Decai said with emotion.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, let's have a drink." Pei Xiaoer picked up the wine glass and toasted Pei Decai.
After a glass of wine, a warm feeling rises from the bottom of my heart.
"Uncle Decai, how did you come to my place?" Pei Xiaoer stopped his chopsticks and asked curiously.
"It's Master. I once sent something to Si Dihu's house. At that time, Master was selecting people who could accompany you as an envoy." Pei Decai's eyes were filled with memories. "At that time, everyone called me Lao Pei.
Lao Pei. Master just heard it, maybe because my surname is Pei, which is the same as yours.
He asked me and found out that I was born in the Pei family village with you, and we were even related to each other. So he called me over and came with you."
Master? Pei Xiaoer didn't expect that this matter would actually contact Master.
Seeing Pei Xiaoer chanting the word "Master" in his mouth, Pei Decai suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Master and Zuodihu had a conflict. Zuodihu missed and injured Master?"
"Oh? Is this the case?" Pei Xiaoer's eyes narrowed. This master regarded himself as a loyal dog sitting on the ground, but he didn't expect that the two of them would also have conflicts.
Pei Xiaoer poured him another glass of wine, "Do you know the reason?"
"I'm not sure." Pei Decai shook his head. After a few glasses of wine, his face was obviously rosy. "By the way, when I came here, Master pulled me and said he would give this to you."
With that said, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Pei Xiaoer.
Master, can you give me something? Pei Xiaoer took the letter and was full of doubts in his heart. He didn't remember having an encounter with the master when he was in Wenxi County, but he didn't know why he suddenly wrote to him.
Pei Decai saw Pei Xiaoer taking the letter. He didn't say anything and smiled. He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down in one gulp.
Seeing his expression, Pei Xiaoer knew that he must know something, "Uncle Decai, what do you think is written in this letter?"
"What else could it be?" Pei Decai sneered and downed another glass of wine. "The land tiger is going to deal with Liu Guozhong. He was ordered to stabilize you!"
Pei Xiaoer opened the letter and glanced through it. It was exactly what Pei Decai said, and he threw it aside.
Pei Xiaoer served Pei Decai again. Pei Decai obviously had a lot of things on his mind. He picked up the glass and was about to drink it. Pei Xiaoer quickly stopped him and said, "Uncle Decai, you are drunk."
"No, I'm not drunk." Pei Decai drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and threw it heavily on the table.
"Second servant, you are promising now. But don't forget that you are from our Pei family village." Pei Decai burped, "Back then, your brother wanted to take the imperial examination, but the family was so poor that he couldn't afford to support him.
A seed of reading is Mr. Pei. After hearing the news, he took the initiative to exempt your family from land rent.
Your mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to your brother. It was Mr. Pei who, relying on his connections, went to Wenxi County and invited the most famous doctor in the county to come over, thus saving your mother's life.
Later, when the bandits harmed Peijiazhuang, Mr. Pei vacated all the empty houses in his house for nearby tenants to live in. It can be said that among the hundreds of people in Peijiazhuang, who among us has not received the favor of Mr. Pei? But what is the result? "
When Pei Decai said this, his always smiling eyes actually shed tears. He picked up the wine bottle next to him and took a big sip. "But when Mr. Pei died, he couldn't even find his body. I sneaked there in the middle of the night.
Pei family, I just searched and searched among the piles of dead people by myself.
I found an arm, but I couldn't find the other. I found half of my body, but I couldn't find the head. In the end, I had no choice but to dig a hole and bury everything I found. I even
I don’t even dare to erect a monument, I’m afraid those beasts will dig up the grave.”
When Pei Decai said this, tears blurred his face, and he took another sip of wine. "And Madam, she usually lives in seclusion and does good deeds. She is such a good person. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a living Bodhisattva, right? But what is the result? The result.
She was tortured to death by dozens of beasts. Why doesn't this world allow good people to live longer? Why doesn't the sky open its eyes?"
After saying that, the man in his forties burst into tears.
Pei Xiaoer listened quietly and did not interrupt. Seeing him like this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He sighed and reached out to pat Pei Decai on the shoulder.
"But today I figured it out." Pei Decai suddenly raised his head and wiped away the tears on his face. The flickering lights reflected his twisted face, "Since God let me live, then I will live for him. I
Let all the damned beasts go to hell."
Pei Xiaoer suddenly felt a little chilly and stepped forward to support him, "Uncle Decai, you are drunk." He shouted to the door, "Someone, please send Uncle Decai back to rest."
Soon two soldiers came in, helped Pei Decai, who was still arguing that he was not drunk, and left.
"Don't tell anyone what happened tonight?" Pei Xiaoer said to the soldiers in a stern voice.
