Back Off, Let Me Come

"Is this the reason why he refused to go back for so many years?"

Gu Chi thought of Kang Shi, who was alone during the holidays, and couldn't help sighing, as if he knew another Kang Shi. He didn't expect that Kang Jishou, who usually pitted his master without blinking an eye and seemed heartless, also had an unspeakable painful past behind him.

He also completely understood the meaning of Kang Shi's words just now.

Kang Shi believed that he had killed his father and brother when he was young, and now he was going to kill Yu Zi, so the psychological shadow was naturally incalculable. Obviously, after so many years, it was only the master who had a rough life, and the people around him occasionally had bad luck but did not hurt their lives. He might have thought that he could be like a normal person. But now the reality has given Kang Shi a fatal blow.

He seems to be the reincarnation of the plague god.

This time it was Yu Zi, who will it be next time?

Whoever he gets close to will bring bad luck to that person.

Kang Nian said: "Jishou thinks so."

He thought so back then.

The doctor said that the knife that the second brother stabbed should be off-center, and the wound could be saved if it was stopped in time. However, when he heard that his father had died, the wound of the second brother burst open, and he died after several attempts at rescue. Kangnian didn't remember how he spent those days. Now he only remembered that there was chaos around him, crying, screaming, and the whole family was in chaos...

The source of all this was Kangshi, his fourth brother.

If Ji Shou hadn't killed his wife, his father wouldn't have been injured in anger, his second brother wouldn't have died, and there wouldn't have been two funerals in a row in the mansion.

Kangnian not only thought so, he also said it out loud.

When Kangshi was angry and wanted to take people to massacre the other party's entire family, Kangnian's mind exploded, his emotions were out of control, he raised his hand and slapped Kangshi, and blurted out a question. After that, every time he thought about it, Kangnian wanted to go back to the past and chop off his right hand.

His original intention was obviously not to blame Kangshi.

He was just worried that Kang Shi would also be involved, and that if he didn't handle it well this time, Xiaozong and other local families would join forces to divide his family up. He just wanted Kang Shi to calm down, and the three brothers to support each other through this difficult time, but he couldn't control himself.

Kang Shi lost his father and brother, so didn't he also lose his father and twin brothers? Did Kang Jishou have the right to vent his nonsense? Kang Nian regretted the slap, but he just forced himself not to apologize and ordered people to keep an eye on Kang Shi, not allowing him to go out and cause trouble during the funeral. Not long after, Kang Shi ran away from home.

Gu Chi couldn't help but feel sorry for Kang Shi.

"But this is too unreasonable. The first marriage was arranged as a child, and the girl was born with a weak heart. She lived to the age of seven because her family took good care of her. Her death was also expected. The second and third marriages sounded unreasonable. How could the elderly in the family not have a headache? Can this be considered as a wife-killer? Not to mention the fourth marriage eloped, the fifth marriage was even set up by someone..."

No matter how you look at it, Kang Shi is the victim.

His reputation was slandered by others.

Gu Chi is a vengeful person.

"The father and brother of the fifth marriage are the culprits. Didn't their family pay the price? Kang Jishou is so kind?"

If this hatred was placed on him, he would have to wipe out the other party's entire family.

Kang Nian said: "Before Jishou ran away from home, he found an opportunity to kill the head of this family and the eldest son of the playboy."

It is not too difficult to kill this father and son.

The eldest son of the playboys often hangs out in brothels and brothels. In order not to affect the experience of seeking pleasure, he often only brings two or three servants, and the guards are sent away. Kang Shi went there in advance to wait for someone and strangled him to death with a rope. He used the help of his friends to lure the owner out and waited for an opportunity to kill him. That family also experienced the chaos of the Kang family in those years, but Kang Nian showed no mercy.

Gu Chi felt that Kang Shi was still kind.

"Only killed the father and son?"

Kang Nian said: "Ji Shou doesn't know how to cut the grass and root it out."

It's okay if he doesn't understand, as long as you understand it yourself.

Gu Chi, who heard this mood clearly: "..."

Well, the Kang family patriarch in front of him, who seems to have no edges and corners, is also a ruthless person. If he is not a ruthless person, he would not adopt his daughter to Qi Yuanliang. He is indeed cold-blooded and cruel. Gu Chi concealed his surprise very well: "So is Brother Bo Sui coming this time?"

Kang Nian said: "I received Ji Shou's letter."

He paused, and there seemed to be mist in his eyes.

He couldn't bear to continue talking.

He appeared here to make the worst plan, to collect the body of his brother. If something happened, he could take the coffin back, so that Kangshi could return to his roots and rest beside his father and brother's tomb.

Gu Chi sighed: "Good luck will come to you."

After saying that, he found that this consolation was a bit of a hell joke.

Kangshi's bad luck had nothing to do with "good luck".

Kangnian's lips moved twice, and he bowed and said goodbye. Gu Chi didn't stop him this time. Seeing Kangnian heading straight to Kangshi's tent, Gu Chi also asked someone to discuss countermeasures. Little did he know that the Kang brothers quarreled again. The noise was so loud that Qi Miao, who heard the news, was also startled. Two familiar male voices argued and were full of gunpowder.

In fact, they didn't quarrel at the beginning.

Kangnian felt distressed when he saw his distraught brother.

Kangshi wrote vaguely in his letter at home, and didn't say why he was quarreling. When Kang Nian learned the whole story from him, he immediately became furious and grabbed Kang Shi's wrist with such force that his bones were almost broken: "Kang Jishou, do you still have a heart?"

Kang Shi frowned in pain: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

"If you have the heart, how can you bear to see Sanlang and I lose another sibling? You are not seriously ill, nor have you committed a heinous crime!" Kang Nian's face was cold and resolute, and it was frightening. He shook off Kang Shi's wrist and spoke as fast as a summer rainstorm, so fast that it was almost inaudible, "You don't want to live! But you can live! You can go further!"

Yu Zi's way of scholars is [Evil Zi and take Zhu].

In her perfect ceremony, Yu Zi herself is the passive defensive [Zhu], and Kang Jishou is the [Evil Zi].

Yu Zi must die!

Kang Shi's way of scholars is [Losing every time you gamble].

In his perfect ceremony, Yu Zi is the gambler sitting across from him at the gambling table, and Kang Shi will definitely lose and die!

Only one of them can survive.

Not only can he survive, but his way of scholars can also be perfect.

What was the result?

Kang Jishou actually asked himself to come and collect his body!

He obviously had a way to survive, but he chose to die!

Kang Shi suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that these words would come from his brother's mouth. He didn't even notice that his voice was trembling, and there was disappointment in the trembling: "It was me who implicated Wei Heng! If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have completed the ceremony like this, and she wouldn't have died! How could I let her..."

Kang Nian said decisively: "Then let her die!"

Kang Shi's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth: "Brother!"

Kang Nian avoided the silent questioning in Kang Shi's eyes and hardened his heart: "Kang Jishou, remember, you are a member of the Kang family, my younger brother, and a member of the Kang family! You actually want to take the initiative to give up your life, give up the Kang family, and give up your blood relatives... How can you be so cruel? Even if you are wrong, what does it matter? Your life is more important to me than that of an outsider, much more important! If you really die, how are you going to explain to your father and second brother how you died?"

Kang Shi was disappointed: "Brother, you are not that kind of person!"

You shouldn't be that kind of person!

Kang Nian said coldly: "You made a mistake. I have always been like this! The head of the Kang family cannot understand your so-called passionate choice. I only know that you don't have to die! I only know that 'there is only me and no one else'. Does the truth disappoint you?"

Kang Shi's fist tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again.

"Brother, maybe it was a mistake to let you come over!"

Kang Nian sneered: "Kang Jishou, don't force me to do it! No matter what, the life and death of others has nothing to do with you!"

Kang Shi was so angry that his mind was not clear.

He was about to say [People with different beliefs cannot make plans together], but unexpectedly, an old and powerful sneer came from outside the tent: "Haha, what a good sentence 'The life and death of others has nothing to do with you'! Indeed, whether his Kang family lives or dies, what does it have to do with us surnamed Yu?"

Kang Nian shouted: "Who is outside!"

Kang Shi had already recognized the identity of the owner of the voice.

I suddenly felt a strong sense of unbearableness and shame.

"I am your great-uncle of the 'other person' you mentioned!" He lifted the tent curtain with one hand and pushed away Qi Miao who wanted to persuade him with the other hand, with a layer of frost on his face. He looked middle-aged at most, and looked a bit like Yu Zi.

He took the initiative to introduce his family, and Kang Nian was shocked.

Kang Shi stepped forward to salute the middle-aged scholar.

The other party dodged and said mockingly: "I can't bear it, I can't bear it. I am a lowly official, how can I bear your great gift as the Minister of Justice? The conversation between you two brothers reminded me. You keep talking about your Kang family. The family is still prosperous, and one more death will not hurt the vitality. Let them die, but I can't do that. I have no wife, no children, and only Weiheng, the descendant of my brother, is my only bloodline of the twin brothers. In terms of preciousness, she is much more precious than Kang Jishou, the fourth child of yours."

If anyone has to die, it should be Kang Jishou.

The middle-aged scholar squinted at Kangnian, and seeing that he was handsome, he said, "We can't let the old Yu family die."

After that, he said to Kangshi, "You have lost most of your life anyway, so it doesn't matter if you lose again in the perfect ceremony, right? Hmm?"

No matter what others say about Yu Zi's temperament, he said that his Weiheng is one of the best in the world!

Kang Jishou?

Who is this plague god?

After that, the middle-aged scholar left with a wave of his sleeves.

Before leaving, he sneered and left a warning: "I will leave it here. Even if Weiheng dies and Kang Jishou lives, I have a way to make him live a life worse than death. If you don't believe it, you brothers can go and ask Chu Wuhui, ask him if my way of scholars is vegetarian!"

For a while, the whole room was silent.

Qi Miao watched the middle-aged scholar leave.

When the other party disappeared, Qi Miao exhaled the foul air.

She suppressed her thoughts and went forward to greet the two elders. She called Kangnian "uncle" and Kangshi "uncle". Kangnian had long been accustomed to this title, but when he thought of the current situation, he felt indescribable in his heart - he was the biological father that Qi Miao once admired the most, but he was actually seen by the other party to have such an unbearable and heartless side. This made Kangnian's headache worse.

Kangshi smiled reluctantly.

"Why is Miao'er here?"

Qi Miao looked in the direction of the screen.

Hesitantly said, "Nephew came to see Weiheng."

Kangnian's body suddenly stiffened. He didn't realize that there was a fourth person in the tent, and he was one of the parties involved.

At this moment, the atmosphere was so tense that it was hard to breathe.

Qi Miao carried the medical box and bowed slightly to the back.

Kang Shi coughed and sighed: "Brother... Master Kang, let me decide on this matter. I am indeed a member of the Kang family. I have not married and have not separated from my brother, so I cannot make the decision. But..."

He said firmly: "I am also Kang Shi."

No one can stop him from staying or leaving.

His life should not be controlled by others.

Kang Nian's face was as gloomy as water, and he said with a wave of his sleeves: "It's up to you!"

He didn't mention that when he received the letter from home, his mind was blank like a bolt from the blue, and after the blank was endless grief and despair. He also knew that it was useless to mention it. The wrong slap in the face back then and the wrong words now have drawn an unhealable rift between them: "I have brought your coffin, and you can be buried wherever you want."

He only thought that he had Sanlang as his only younger brother.

Looking at Kang Nian's embarrassed back with staggering steps, Kang Shi felt mixed emotions and his complicated mood was unclear. Yu Zi's hoarse voice came from behind the screen: "That's just human nature."

We are all flawed ordinary people, why should we use the standards of saints to measure?

Yu Zi deeply agreed with Kang Nian's words.

"Kang Jishou, did you say those words to your brother on purpose for me?" Yu Zi's hoarse voice brought a bit of unfriendly smile, which was a kind of hurt that was as obscure as a needle, but it would really hurt if it was pierced, "Are you trying to trick me into being soft-hearted?"

The next breath, Qi Miao behind the screen sucked in a breath of cold air.

She was anxious and worried at this moment.

"Fourth uncle is not such a person..."

Yu Zi replied lightly: "Oh."

Kang Shi knew that Kang Nian's words did stimulate Yu Zi, and it was normal for her to be angry, and she didn't have the energy to refute anything. After a while, he left a sentence: "Weiheng, you should have a good rest."

Her future will be smooth.

Yu Zi said: "In fact, there is another way."

Kang Shi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Yu Zi sneered and said, "It's OK if one person is disabled, but that person will definitely not be me. I can't give up the ability to continue to climb up for the sake of 'others' who don't even love themselves..."

"This method is not feasible."

Yu Zi said, "Then there is no other way."

Gu Chi couldn't find a solution from his colleagues and returned empty-handed.

Shen Tang looked at Gu Chi who had returned and thought that this guy had eaten peaches and came to her again: "I don't have any peaches here."

Gu Chi choked: "How can I have the mood to eat peaches now."

"Tsk, you don't even like peaches anymore, it seems that you have encountered a big thing. Come on, tell me, let me have some fun."

Gu Chi: "..."

It's really a blessing for him to have such a master.

He took a few deep breaths before asking.

"How does the master plan to deal with Ji Shou and the other two?"

Shen Tang paused while reviewing the memorials.

Gu Chi said in a deep voice: "It would be a great loss if either of them died. If you can save them, try to save them all! If you really can't, you should save one of them, otherwise..."

"There is no choice to save only one."

Shen Tang lowered his head to review the memorial again.

"Does Wang Chao know the 'prisoner's dilemma'? You should know it. Smart people will also be trapped in their own cocoons because of their intelligence. The probability of betrayal is far greater than mutual loyalty, not to mention that it is related to life. As the old saying goes, it is better to die than to die. The consummation ceremony of the two of them is not only a test of each other, but more of a test of themselves. Either both survive, or both die. Seeing your own heart clearly and controlling your own humanity, this is considered a perfect Tao heart, right? Outsiders can't give you advice, and you and I can't help."
