Volume 2: Greed Chapter 137: The Outsider in the Small Mountain Village (Part I)
Summer goes to autumn solstice, time is the most ruthless, but also the most stingy, it is not willing to give anyone an extra second, but it is also the fairest, because it will not give anyone a second less.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and in this month, two major events have happened in the imperial capital.
The first thing is that Secretary Meng's eldest son, Meng Long, died suddenly at home, the scene was like a secret room, without the slightest clue, Secretary Meng was furious at the time, and used his relationship to mobilize almost all the police forces in the imperial capital to track down the murderer, and investigated it with great fanfare for two days, and it was also full of turmoil, but when investigating a girl named Xue Xinyue, he suddenly died down, and there was no soundγ
But compared to the second thing, the first thing is not so shocking, just in the middle of last month, an engagement banquet was suddenly held in the imperial capital, and such a high-profile banquet can be held in the imperial capital, the protagonist doesn't have to think about it at all, and under the joint invitation of the Zhang and Bai families, it can be said that almost all the characters of the entire emperor have been present, and even many people who are abroad have flown back to participate in this unprecedented banquet, after all, this is a clear announcement that the two super families that were originally fighting each other in the imperial capital are now completely united, then, I am afraid that in the whole of China, no one can compete with it anymore, It is also because everyone knows this result, so that after the beautiful engagement banquet ended, the aftermath of all the circles in the imperial capital lasted for several days.
It is precisely because of these two major events that caused a sensation in the imperial capital that some small things seem less important, and even after they happen, they are forgotten in an instant.
In a small mountain village β
The day of early autumn, there is still a little dry and hot, but for the mountains, it is another scene, the scenery is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it makes people look at the heart of relaxation, no wonder most people will choose to come to the mountains to escape the heat, here, it is indeed cooler than outside.
Not only the scenery, but also the humanities here are completely different from the outside world, compared to the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital, it is a peaceful place, as if no matter how big the matter, it can not affect the simple people here.
But today, this small mountain village, which can be called isolated, suddenly came to an outsider.
A woman with a thin body and clear eyebrows.
The woman was dressed in a low-key attire, wearing a peaked cap, and the canvas shoes on her feet left shallow footprints on the dirt floor, but although she was dressed ordinarily, she could also be called out of place in this underdeveloped mountain village, especially eye-catching.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the mountain village, she attracted the attention of several women sitting at the entrance of the village chatting, all of them with a faint vigilance in their eyes, examining the woman with an even pace.
But as if the woman was unaware of the stares, she lowered her head and looked at the ground under her feet, and kept moving forward, making people wonder if there was a wall in front of her, and she was going to smash the wall to pieces.
Of course, there will not be an extra wall on the road out of thin air, but the woman's footsteps also stopped, because at this time, an elderly middle-aged man stood in front of her.
The middle-aged man was wearing a white cloth shirt, his face was full of wrinkles, his hair was thinning, he was holding a dry tobacco in one hand, pinching his waist in the other, and asked the woman in a thick voice: "Girl, are you looking for someone when you come to us?"
βγγγ β
When the middle-aged man looked the woman up and down, the woman also raised her head and looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly.
Getting the woman's response, the middle-aged man subconsciously took a puff of dry smoke, picked his few eyebrows, grinned, showing his big yellow teeth, and then said: "Yo he, then you are looking for the right person, I am the head of this village, who are you looking for, just tell me." β
Looking at the middle-aged man's reaction, the woman's delicate willow eyebrows were also slightly wrinkled, and a little coldness had appeared in her eyes, but in broad daylight, she also knew that she couldn't make a move, so she could only whisper: "I know where he is, don't bother you." β
"Eh, what's the trouble here. β
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said triumphantly: "Let me tell you, there is no one I don't know in this village, go, I'll go with you." β
After that, he stretched out his big rough hand to take the woman's hand.
At the same time, the women sitting at the head of the village also noticed the two people standing facing each other, one of them was about thirty, and the woman wearing a headscarf pursed her lips and sneered: "This little girl doesn't know what she is doing here, but she is still really unlucky, and she met Erlaizi as soon as she entered the village." β
"Shh
Hearing the words of the turban woman, another slightly older woman looked frightened, and hurriedly whispered: "You are crazy, you dare to call him Erlaizi, you are not afraid that he will trouble you." β
"It's okay, it's okay. β
Maybe she understood that she had said the wrong thing, and the turban woman also smiled brightly, and secretly glanced at the middle-aged man standing on the road, and after seeing that he didn't pay attention to himself, he whispered: "He is so far away from us, he must not be able to hear it, besides, if this guy doesn't rely on himself to have a very capable relative in the provincial capital, can he become the village chief?"
"Ouch, just say a few words, it's not that you don't know his virtues, so that he knows, but you don't have good fruit to eat. The older woman still whispered dissuasion.
"Hey, hey. β
After saying a few words, the turban woman also smiled, but when she glanced at the two people on the road again, her eyes instantly widened, and she looked shocked, and felt the strangeness of the turban woman, and the other three women also followed her gaze, and in an instant, everyone's faces were full of shock.
I saw that the foreign woman was about to pull down the middle-aged man called Er Laizi when he was about to pull him down, and Er Laizi only felt that his eyes were flowering, and the next moment, a tingling sensation came from his arm, and his body involuntarily turned in a circle, bent down with his back to the woman, his face was distorted, and he screamed: "Ouch, it hurts! it hurts! it hurts!"
After a few painful words, the woman who reached out to restrain him snorted coldly, pushed with both hands, and Er Laizi's body staggered forward a few steps uncontrollably, and then his foot tripped over a stone, and his body instantly lost its center of gravity, fell forward, and fell hard into the mud, kicking up a burst of dust.
And after pushing Er Laizi away, the woman's face was as usual, her footsteps did not stop, and she walked straight towards the village, completely ignoring what she had just done, as if she had not pushed Er Laizi down.
"Ouch, my waist!"
Erlaizi, who fell to the ground, struggled to get up, picked up the dry tobacco he had fallen with one hand, covered his thin waist with one hand, hummed for a long time, and then looked up, only to see that the woman had left far away just now, and he didn't think about raising his feet to chase at this time, after all, he was used to showing off his martial arts in the village every day, and suddenly met someone who dared to move him, and his brain didn't react for a while, after all, a person who eats soft and is afraid of hard, now he really meets a hard one, and he still has to weigh how many pounds and taels he has.
However, just as Er Laizi was covering his waist and wailing, he suddenly heard a few crisp laughter full of mockery in his ears, which made him turn his head to look, only to see that the few women sitting on the small bench at the head of the village were blushing one by one, and the corners of their mouths and eyes were full of smiles.
"What is so funny, what is there to laugh at?
Knowing that they were laughing at themselves, Er Laizi became angry, raised his dry cigarette, pointed at the women, and shouted at the throat: "Laugh again, laugh again and see how I clean you up!"
When the women heard Er Laizi's intimidation, they hurriedly lowered their heads one by one, fiddling with the things in their hands, and didn't dare to look at him again.
Seeing that several women were afraid of themselves, Er Laizi's mood gradually improved, he turned his head again, stared at the woman who had long been far away from him, looked at her slender back, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, smoked a dry cigarette, gritted his teeth and said: "Little girl, dare to do it to the uncle, I will see how I clean you up!"
Anyway, hiding the fierce light in his eyes, he raised his steps and walked towards the village, although he was mixed, he still had brains, even if he didn't know what the woman's skills were, but judging from the means she had just used at will, Er Laizi also understood that he was definitely not her opponent, but he was the village chief, the whole village, that was his territory, he couldn't beat it alone, couldn't he call someone?
Imagining the scene of subduing the woman and making her kneel in front of him and beg for mercy, Er Laizi showed a lewd smile on his face, hummed a little song softly, and knocked on the door of a house.
The woman who had already left obviously didn't know what Er Laizi was thinking in her heart, or she didn't bother to think about it at all, at this moment she was standing in front of a small courtyard, the yard was already overgrown with weeds, obviously no one lived in it for a long time, staring blankly at the wooden door where the paint was peeling off, the woman hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, raised her hand, and pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard.
Without dodging the weeds in the yard, the woman went straight to the low hut, surprisingly, although the yard looked very dilapidated and uninhabited, there was a brand new lock on the door of the hut, but the woman didn't seem to be surprised by this method at all, she flipped her hand, a black hairpin suddenly appeared, I saw her right hand pinching the hairpin, quietly poked into the keyhole, closed her eyes, focused all her attention on the hairpin, accompanied by a slight rotation of her right hand, after a minute, only a slight sound was heard"Click", the wooden door opened.
The wooden door was opened, revealing a dark gap, obviously there was no light in the house, otherwise there would not be even a little light, staring at this wooden door buried deep in memory, after a while, the woman dared to put her hand in front of the door, gently pushed, with a sour "crunch" sound, the woman finally walked into the hut.
