Volume 1 The Butterfly That Can't Fly Over the Sea Chapter 37 Bloodshed
I sit in front of a shop called Matsuyama Restaurant in the west of the city.
Qingzhu looked anxiously at the boy who was holding the roast duck in front of him, gnawing on his mouth full of oil, and said: "Childe, we have been out for three days, and if we don't go back, if the master knows......"
The boy's mouth was stuffed with chicken, his cheeks were bulging, and he replied indistinctly: "No, I finally found the trace of Ah Cheng, and when I defeat her, we will go back." ”
Zili on the side had a cold face, and said quietly: "Miss Ah Cheng's whereabouts are erratic, and the news that the son got is not necessarily true. And even if it is true, if she has the intention to avoid Childe, it will not be easy for Childe to find him, and this time it has been delayed for a long time, and the master is angry...... Childe, don't forget what happened last time. ”
The purple-clothed woman's tone was extremely calm, but it was obviously several times heavier than Qingzhu's.
At least after hearing this, the boy's pulsation with the roast chicken slowed down a little, and his face became a little ugly, as if he recalled some unpleasant experience, and a hand full of oil stains subconsciously touched his buttocks.
But soon he suppressed these concerns, bit down a piece of chicken with fierce eyes, and said again in his mouth: "No matter! The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and he has something to do and something to do, I Ningchuan is to be the number one man in the world, my father always thinks about his one-third of an acre of land, how can he compare with me!"
"Childe!" Qingzhu, who was dressed in green clothes, stomped her feet, and was a little annoyed that Ning Chuan's oil and salt did not enter, she said angrily: "Childe is only twelve years old this year, and that Ah Cheng is an old girl who is over twenty-nine years old, and the ranking of thousands of people on the Hanxing list is already biased, according to Childe's age and cultivation, he should have been at the top of the list in substance, so why care about those false names?!"
"False name?" The boy, who looked quite immature, suddenly put down the roast chicken in his hand, he stared at the woman in Tsing Yi with a solemn expression, and then said in a heavy tone that was extremely inappropriate for his age: "Qingzhu, don't forget why we are here. ”
"Notoriety can kill people out of nothing, and if there are many people who believe in a reputation that is not worthy of their name, it will also become a fact. ”
"Qingzhu, you remember. ”
"In this world, nothing is in vain. ”
Probably because he rarely saw his son-in-law like this, or maybe he thought of something from the other party's words, the look on Qingzhu's face froze, and he finally suppressed the commotion that was still in his chest and fell silent.
......
"The girl of the Li family has a warped buttocks, and the girl of the Sun family is fat..."
"The red sleeve dance in the west, the rouge beauty in the east..."
"The vulture said it was a skeleton ghost. ”
"But the kid sees it with the naked eye, and he only feels that the more he looks at people, the more beautiful he becomes......"
Qingzhu's heart is piled up with resentment about being taught by his own son-in-law, and he is sulking, but he listens to a "ballad" that is not very good in his ears and sings in a voice that is not very good.
Qingzhu turned his head to look, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, and saw that the anger in his heart was surging up again - this explicit singing voice came from an old man with a hunched waist, a thin body, and a large basket of steamed buns in his hand. And the most coincidental thing is that this old man they also met yesterday, it is a lewd old man who spoke disrespectfully to them in front of the old house.
Although the old man was walking by himself, although there was some distance between the two of them, it was either due to the anger in his heart, or the impression left by the old man before was too bad, Qingzhu instinctively thought that the little yellow song humming by Liu Yujie was teasing their sisters.
"It's this old pervert again!" the girl scolded softly, and her heart was secretly gloomy. She suddenly rolled her eyes, looked at the purple-clothed woman beside her, and said, "Sister, why don't we teach this old guy a lesson." ”
The woman in purple was stunned when she heard this, although she was a little nostalgic for yesterday's incident, but she felt that this move was inappropriate, and she was thinking about how to dispel such thoughts as her sister, but the boy in front of her was eating roast chicken, and muttered: "You two, if you count me as well, you are not anyone's opponents, what are you doing?
Zili and Qingzhu were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at the boy in front of them with wide eyes, their eyes full of incomprehension.
The boy threw the roast duck that was gnawed to the ground and only the bones were left, turned his head to look at the back of the old man who was fading away, stretched out his hand and licked the oil stains on his fingers, and whispered: "Grandpa Jiang is right, this Wupan City is lively!"
......
The Wupan River is gushing endlessly.
It enters Ningzhou in the west and Weishui in the east.
Wei Lai stood on the bank of the Wupan River, and the children not far away were singing old songs and playing together. He glanced at the children, and his gaze fell on the turbulent waters of the Wupan River.
He carefully surveyed every wave rising on the surface of the river, every wave that rolled up, and his eyes were as deep as if he were looking for something.
This stop was a long time, until the people waiting behind him became impatient.
"I say, how long are you going to watch?" the man asked angrily.
Wei Lai turned his head as if he had just woken up from a dream and looked at the middle-aged man in sackcloth behind him - it was sent by Luo Xiangwu, who was called to take care of Wei Lai, but in fact he was a soldier who was doing surveillance.
Wei Lai smiled slightly apologetically: "I accidentally saw God, don't be annoyed, don't worry, let's go." ”
The man let out a cold snort when he heard this, and Wei Lai laughed again and again, and then led the man into Wupan City with him.
Wupan City is a small place, pick a random person, this one doesn't know, others will always know. And Wei Lai, a well-known fool, is even more well-known. Yesterday, Sun Bojin brought people to the door to collect debts, and the news has spread in Wupan City today, and the people do not know what is going on, nor do they know the whole story, and it is difficult to determine right and wrong. But out of instinct, he still can't help but sympathize with Wei Lai's plight, and of course this sympathy is limited to sympathy. No one would offend a big family like the Sun family for a fool, not to mention that Sun Bojin and Cang Yuwei have been very close recently, and they are going to stuff the entire Wupan City people into a ruthless person, but they are not a character that ordinary people can afford to provoke.
Wei Lai walked down the street, and most of the pedestrians on the street cast sympathetic or sympathetic glances at him.
Over the years, Wei Lai has suffered from such a gaze, he has long been accustomed to it, he first went to a pharmacy, grabbed some medicine for external injuries, and then went to the north of the city gate, the time to come is just right, the Zhao family has not left, and at the city gate to say goodbye to the people who came to see off.
Zhao Gongbai's reputation in Wupan City is not bad, although he loves money, but most of them are taken in a good way, although he is careful on weekdays, but he is also kind and charitable when necessary. His departure also attracted many onlookers.
Wei Lai stood outside the crowd, looking at Zhao Gongbai, who was busy greeting the people who came to see off the people, and hesitated slightly, but he still didn't come forward after all. But after some busy work, Zhao Gongbai caught a glimpse of Wei Lai in the distance, the middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure was stunned, and was about to step forward, but he saw the tall man behind Wei Lai.
He was clearly aware of something, and the steps he had already taken hung in mid-air, stagnant, and a bit of a dilemma.
Wei Lai nodded lightly at the other party without a trace, Zhao Gongbai retracted his steps, and he glanced at Wei Lai deeply, with a complicated expression. But after that, he talked with the people who saw him off again, and never looked at Wei Lai again, as if he had never discovered Wei Lai's existence.
The hour was soon coming.
The clansmen of the Zhao family stepped on the carriage far away from their homeland in the farewell of the people.
People say goodbye, but everyone knows that the mountains are high and the road is far away, and since then, if there is no accident in this life, there will be no goodbye.
Wei Lai watched the Zhao family's carriage go away, and it was not until their figures were about to disappear that Wei Lai withdrew his gaze, he turned his head and said, "Let's go." And he departed.
But before he took a step, he was stopped by the mountain-like figure of the strong man behind him.
Wei Lai frowned, looked up at the strong man, and saw that the other party was unaware of Wei Lai's behavior, he stood motionless like a sculpture, his head slightly raised, and his eyes looked in the direction outside the city gate. His eyes narrowed, and a strange but hot color rose in the slits.
Groov!
Wei Lai's heart jumped, as if he realized something.
A look of horror swelled up in his eyes, and his body jerked in the direction of the city gate almost at the same time.
He saw the Zhao family's carriage driving to the edge of the horizon, and it seemed that as long as he took a step, it would completely disappear from everyone's eyes. But at this moment, a silver line lit up beyond the horizon. The silver thread rushed towards this place at a rapid pace, and people gradually saw that the silver thread was a row of armor soldiers wearing silver armor and white horses under their crotch...... That's, Cang Yuwei!
The orderly men and horses of the Zhao family began to become disorganized, and a sound came from there, but it was almost inaudible when it reached the city gate.
The people who saw off the Zhao family at the city gate looked at each other, wanting to see what was going on there.
The carriage of the Zhao family stagnated, the silver thread was reduced to zero, and shuttled through the horse workshop, and a figure broke away from the queue of the carriage and ran towards it.
He waved his hand at the city gate, shouting something loudly, but the people of the city still couldn't hear him.
The man ran closer and closer, waving his hand and the look of panic on his face became clearer and clearer, and he was still shouting loudly, he said, "Help...... Save...... Life. ”
Burst!
The people heard it clearly, but his voice stopped abruptly.
A sharp arrow burst through the air from behind him, piercing his chest with precision, and his figure suddenly froze, and the color in his pupils spread out and became extremely hollow. Then the whole person fell to his knees, and just a few feet away from the city gate, he stopped forever.
The people of the city were terrified and froze in place, and the entire city gate fell into a deathly silence.
In the distance, the silver-armored horses rode slowly, and when they passed the figure kneeling in front of the city gate, one of the armorers did not forget to cut off his head with a knife.
"Phew. When he came to the city gate, Luo Xiangwu, who was the leader, pulled the reins, and many Cangyu guards forbade it, and they all pulled the reins and stationed their horses at that moment.
"Zhao Gongbai!"
"Lu Guanshan was an accomplice in the case of insulting the saints, intercepted and killed the imperial court officials on May 5, and robbed the corpse the night before. ”
"But the sky net is magnificent and sparse, today, according to the law of Dayan, the Wupan Zhao family, all the laws!"
Luo Xiangwu said sharply, and as soon as these words fell, many Cangyu guards behind him suddenly took out several things from their waists and threw them in the direction of the city gate.
The stuff hit the ground and rolled down in all directions, tumbling for a few feet before it came to a standstill. The people looked at it intently, and suddenly felt that the dead were in danger.
Those things are the heads of the Zhao family!
Wei Lai raised his head tremblingly and looked not far away, and Luo Xiangwu also happened to look down at him at that time.
In the midday sun, the man's eyes narrowed and a smile appeared on his lips.
Wei Lai smiled in return, but the hand hidden under the cuff was clenched and trembled, and his knuckles were white.
