Volume 2 The Broken Bridge Chapter 23 Uncle Zhang's Secret
"It's useless, how is it possible!" Li Feng's surprise was overflowing. "Brother Chao, what you said is true?"
Ge Yuchao frowned slightly, "It's true, decades ago, that Chongming Bird came to the door to ask for medicine. I didn't want to get involved in cause and effect, but that guy came to make trouble every day, disturbing my purity, so I had no choice but to make a post of Qiongyu paste, but unfortunately Xiao Zhang's luck has not arrived, and it is still useless after all. ”
Li Feng smiled bitterly, since Mr. Ge has said it, it seems that if you want to stimulate Zhang Yang's blood, you need another opportunity. But now that Xiao Ling is dormant, things are still at a loss.
"That being the case, the boy doesn't bother. If there is a need in the future, Brother Chao can only command. Li Feng got up, spoke, and was about to leave.
"Junior Brother Li, wait," Ge Yuchao saw that Li Feng was leaving, hurriedly stopped, turned his head into the grass hall, tinkered for a while, and then returned to the courtyard with a large bag of things, "This is the medicinal materials needed for Qiongyu ointment, both are two doses, since Junior Brother Li is here, take this medicine back, forget it, but I have a concern." Although the foolish brother tried to no avail, but Junior Brother Li is not an ordinary person, maybe he can promote this beautiful thing because of fate. ”
"Brother Chao is kind-hearted, thank you, boy. Since Brother Chao believes in me, the kid will try his best, whether he succeeds or not, but by destiny. Li Feng bowed his hand again, and after a few words with Ge Yuchao, he left the Yuewei Cottage.
Within two steps of Yuewei Caotang, Li Feng bumped into another person head-on.
"Li Gongzi, you are really here. ”
Li Feng looked at it, and it was not someone else, but the housekeeper of Pan's house, Uncle Zhang.
"Li Gongzi, the old man came to confess. Today in the old family's home, the dog was bold and reckless, and he actually made a move on the son, disturbing the plan of the son and the young lady. Although he doesn't know whether he lives or dies now, he is also to blame. The old man came before, hoping that Gongzi would not disregard his previous suspicions, and should not have a dislike with the young lady, and begged Gongzi for forgiveness. ”
Saying that, Steward Zhang actually bowed his head, and saw that he was above the market, and kowtowed. Fortunately, Dongchang Street is sparsely populated, otherwise it would have to attract onlookers.
Li Feng hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pull up Steward Zhang. However, Steward Zhang looked crazy, and couldn't hold it back, so he said helplessly: "Uncle Zhang, get up quickly." I'll just forgive him, aren't you tormenting me by doing this?"
Steward Zhang raised his side and said, "Thank you Gongzi, Gongzi has a lot, and the old man is ashamed." ”
Li Feng looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, a little annoyed and a little disappointed. Steward Zhang came to find him, and nine times out of ten he was instructed by Pan Jing. I was afraid that Li Feng would have a grudge in her heart, so she specially arranged for Uncle Zhang to come to show her sincerity.
It's a pity that Pan Jing still doesn't know Li Feng well enough, if Pan Jing is willing to share her worries and thoughts, with Li Feng's character, she will definitely help her wholeheartedly. Or if he has scruples like now, Li Feng doesn't care.
But she asked Steward Zhang to come, but it completely changed Li Feng's opinion. Steward Zhang has worked hard in Pan's house for half his life, and he is a master and servant with Pan Jing, which is better than a parent. No matter what contradictions Li Feng and Zhang Yang have, now Steward Zhang's son is indeed unknown in life and death, not only does he not bother to settle down, but also asks him to confess to his own culprit. True, after all, there is still a difference between intimacy and alienation.
For Li Feng, Pan Jing is an indispensable friendship. After this matter, it will have nothing to do with paying off the favor.
"Uncle Zhang, the matter between me and Zhang Yang is a misunderstanding. You have taken good care of me these days, and Li Feng is grateful. Zhang Yang is now unknown because my life and death are unknown, and I will do my best to help him survive this catastrophe. Li Feng looked at Steward Zhang and said sincerely.
Steward Zhang heard Li Feng talk about his son, and he burst into tears, "The son is virtuous, the old man is scared." The dog's matter, don't dare to bother the son, he is destined, he can't run away and can't escape" After speaking, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed.
Li Feng was a little puzzled, and immediately spoke up: "Why did Uncle Zhang say this, what is fate? Isn't there any hidden secret?"
Steward Zhang's body trembled slightly, as if he remembered something. Then there was a long sigh, but he didn't say anything.
The more he was like this, the more confused Li Feng became. "Uncle Zhang, now that Zhang Yang is in danger, I have a way to save his life. ”
Although the old man is dying, he has nothing to do. But if the son can save the dog, the old man is willing to repay him with his life!" Steward Zhang said and knelt down again, but Li Feng hurriedly stopped him.
"Uncle Zhang's words are serious, what to repay with life, don't talk about it in the future. It's just that my method has encountered some problems now, if Uncle Zhang wants to save his life, some things must be told the truth. Li Feng pulled Steward Zhang across the street and found a stall to sit down.
"Come on, Uncle Zhang tastes this pig's trotters, which are soft and delicious. Li Feng beckoned the boss to serve the food, stared at Steward Zhang and smiled.
Steward Zhang sat down for a while, stood up again, and said a little stiffly: "The old servant and the son eat at the same table, which is really disrespectful and unruly. Childe has any doubts, but it doesn't hurt to say it. The old servant still stood and waited. ”
Li Feng saw that Steward Zhang was stubborn, and he didn't persuade much. While gnawing on the pig's trotters, he said, "Zhang Yang has a lot of blood, do you know this?"
Steward Zhang's expression froze, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know." ”
"What did you mean when you said that Zhang Yang was destined to do this catastrophe?" Li Feng looked at Steward Zhang and asked this question again.
Steward Zhang looked at Li Feng with a tangled expression. Li Feng didn't speak, and looked at him quietly. Steward Zhang sighed again, and actually went around and sat next to Li Feng.
Raise your hand and pick up a jug of wine on the table and drink it all. Uncle Zhang wiped his mouth and said, "Master Li, let me tell you a story." ”
"That was about twenty years ago, before Broken Bridge was cursed, and I was in the prime of life.
At that time, the people in the town were often robbed by the surrounding bandits, and Second Uncle Pan was trained in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the town was barely supported by the old man. It is also thanks to the master's cultivation that the thieves do not want to break the net with the fish in the town, so they make an oath with the master, as long as we hand over some wealth every month, they will promise not to intrude.
It's just that most of the people in the town are old and weak, women and children, and the crops are barely enough to make ends meet, so where is there any surplus to hand over. So on weekdays, my lord and I often hunted around the town in exchange for some gold and silver.
One day, on the top of Nanshan, my lord and I were rounding up a flamingo pig. Chased to the mountainside, the flaminous pig was already a trapped beast, and there was no way to escape.
I discussed with my lord that if I could capture it alive and give it to the mountain bandits, maybe I would be able to avoid handing it over for a few years. The two of us were about to close up and stun it when a black shadow suddenly descended from the air. We were just dodging, not caring about the flaminous pig's whereabouts. When he dodged by, he found that the Flamining Pig who had nowhere to escape was actually gone.
I originally thought that the beast had escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, but the old man roared angrily on the side: The thief bird is gone, return my spirit beast.
Curious, I looked up into the air. I saw a black shadow passing by, and when I got a little farther away, I realized that it was a giant bird, and in its claws it was carrying the flamingo pig that we had worked so hard to hunt.
The old man was also red-eyed, and he actually went up the mountain road, chasing after him. I was out of proportion, and I couldn't care about a lot, so I chased after the master.
I don't remember how long I ran, but I remember that when I stopped, I had reached the top of the mountain. The top of Nanshan Mountain was foggy all day long, and my lord and I could only chase after it all the way with the occasional birdsong.
At the top of the mountain, we followed the mountain road and soon found a cave. The old man said that the two thief birds must be hiding in the hole. I couldn't stop him, and I didn't worry about him alone, so I offered to go in and see the situation myself, and if I found anything, I called him again.
The old man was unwilling, and he couldn't stand my soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he agreed to let me go in first.
Entering the cave, the cave was pitch black, the wind gusted, I couldn't help but feel creepy, through the faint light of the cave entrance, I saw all kinds of humanoid murals carved on the cave wall, all of them gestured, the image was strange. Unfortunately, I was timid at the time, and I didn't dare to take a closer look. After walking for a while, I finally found a large meadow, and the faint light and shadow shone on the large grass through the top of the cave, and then returned to the cave, the water vapor in the cave was dense and ethereal.
It was in that meadow that I saw and saw the big bird, and she was so noble. Yes, it is noble, and I will never forget it in my life. She stretched her wings, and her silky feathers were as white as jade, warm and shiny. There are strands of golden feathers on the eyes, like a crown, and the tail feathers are like the light of the stars, dazzling!
I was dumbfounded, and stood as if I had been petrified. But before it was over, the giant bird might have spotted me, and suddenly let out a high-pitched and loud chirp, and I was awakened by her chirping.
I gestured at her, indicating that I had no ill intent. But she was still staring at me, and I realized that she had two pupils in her eyes.
I took two steps back in fright, not daring to get closer. But she flapped her wings and approached me.
My legs were so frightened that I didn't dare to move, so I could only watch her get closer and closer. Finally we looked at each other, and I could smell her scent.
She stared at me for a long time. Suddenly there was another chirp, and then I saw that she was so full of light that I couldn't open my eyes. After a long time, the light felt fade away, and I opened my eyes, and you won't believe what I saw.
The light dissipated, and the big bird disappeared, and in front of me, there stood a naked little girl.
My mind was a mess and I was staring blankly at her.
She seemed to be a little unaccustomed to it, and gently raised her hand to touch her body.
Can you understand, I was looking at her at the time, graceful, although her movements were a little stiff, but she was naked, I, I was just a brute, I lost my mind at that time, and forcibly insulted her. ”
When Li Feng heard this, he was also stunned for a while. He looked at the old man in front of him grabbing his hair in remorse, as if he wanted to tear his scalp off, not knowing what to say.
But he secretly muttered in his heart: When he was a child, he admired Xu Xian because his wife was a snake. When he grew up, he admired Dong Yong because his wife was a fairy. Later, he admired Ning Caichen because his wife was a ghost. Now, I may admire this housekeeper the most.
