Chapter 143: Evil in the Sun
Ye Zi and Jian Xiaoxin have never been to the Antler Pavilion, but they just heard Zhang Xiaodao talk about those strong men in the market, although the two girls have not been there, they have also heard the excitement, today is a rare peaceful day, the interest is very high, walk around all the way, and the dozen or so streets do not feel how to walk.
Said to be called the Antler Pavilion, in fact there is no pavilion, just the name of the intersection, is where the two girls are standing now, I remember Zhang Xiaodao said that Uncle De's shop is less than a few dozen steps away from the east of the intersection, it seems to be not small, it should be easy to find.
Looking east and west, it's a bit strange today, the sparse pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, at first Jian Xiaoxin thought that she had just experienced a fight, and it is understandable that it is deserted here, she must have not gotten up yet, or the shop sign was picked yesterday, and she forgot to hang it today? But Jian Xiaoxin often followed Chen Pengshan to investigate the case in Dingbian, and after standing for a while, she still saw that something was wrong.
The Antler Pavilion is very prosperous on weekdays, teahouses, butcher shops, blacksmiths, and car dealers are all available, and today Chuyi has restored peace, and it should be more lively here, but today not only are there few people coming and going, but even the faces are a little familiar.
Ye Zi stood on tiptoe and saw a middle-aged woman walking out of a shop carrying meat, she jumped excitedly, pointed ahead and beckoned Jian Xiaoxin to go quickly.
"Slow," Jian Xiaoxin grabbed the leaf, held it affectionately, and slowly brought her head closer, her voice was very low, like two intimate female companions, "Yezi, there is a problem here, don't look around, accompany me on the street." ”
Sure enough, the two girls walked back and forth down the street twice, and now even the leaves were wrong, for she saw the woman again, the woman carrying the meat, who had come out of the shop next to her for the second time, and her demeanor and demeanor were exactly the same as before.
Found one, naturally it is easy to find the second one, the teahouse ushered in the send-off, although the business is not good, but there are still a few guests, but Ye Zi saw that there is a man dressed as a rich man who is already sitting on the second table on the left for the third time.
"Sister Xiaoxin—" Ye Zi secretly tugged Jian Xiaoxin's arm.
Jian Xiaoxin didn't respond, her expression didn't change much, she was still holding the leaves, she didn't plan to go into the store to take a look, there was not only one such strange situation, almost the entire street was like this, dozens of shops on both sides, all the same people came in and out, and in broad daylight, the two girls felt a chill down their spines.
Now Jian Xiaoxin wants to leave, but can she still leave?
Early in the morning, the genius was slightly bright, Lai Yingzhu originally planned to go to his brother to say goodbye, and by the way, he should also welcome his brother back to the county to study, but he was about to go out, but he saw the master beside Hong Xin standing Wen Wen respectfully, the clothes on his body had been wet with dew, obviously he had waited for a long time, and when he asked, he realized that it was Lord Hong who called him, Lai Yingzhu did not dare to slack off, and followed Wen Wen all the way.
Standing in front of the door of the county office, Lai Yingzhu was very emotional, yesterday's battle, the brothers all held the belief that they would die, but they didn't expect that Hu Yanwu, who was like a hellish demon, didn't have much ability, and couldn't catch his chaotic cloud marksmanship at all.
Now it's okay, the word "Chuyi" on the gate is still from the brother's handwriting, and he finally didn't embarrass him.
"Miss Yingzhu," Lai Yingzhu followed the official in, and when he saw Hong Xin lying on the desk reviewing something, he hurriedly stopped the officer, signaling that he only had to wait for a while, wait, at least two teas, Hong Xin straightened his waist, and saw Lai Yingzhu waiting in the hall at a glance, hurriedly walked down three steps and two steps, and greeted Lai Yingzhu, "Why don't you call me?" Now that you are the big hero of our Chuyi, how can Hong be lazy? Let's go, let's go in and talk." ”
Before today, Lai Yingzhu had only seen Hong Xin from a distance in her brother's house and teacher's martial arts hall, in her eyes, Hong Xin had always been a high-ranking county lord, and today she was suddenly so enthusiastic about herself, Lai Yingzhu was a little overwhelmed.
followed Hong Xin all the way, did not enter the lobby, nor did he enter the study, but came to the back house.
Seeing Lai Yingzhu standing at the gate of the courtyard and hesitating, Hong Xin turned around with a smile, "Miss Yingzhu, I invited you here today not because of business, but because of the little girl." ”
Hong Xin's face was full of apologies and embarrassment, and the dignity of a county rubbed his hands back and forth, as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong with Yingxue?" Lai Yingzhu was shocked, because of the master, she and Hong Yingxue hit it off at first sight, and almost had endless words, in this Chuyi county, Hong Yingxue is her best friend, seeing Hong Xin's appearance today, she knows that something must have happened to Yingxue, where can she not be in a hurry?
Standing outside the house, Lai Yingzhu calmed down, Zhao Sanjin, who killed a thousand knives, God has eyes, it is best to let himself meet him, he must regret being born by his parents.
While thinking hatefully, he gently pushed the door open.
The room was a little dark, and a woman could be seen sitting on the edge of the bed with her head hanging down and crying, and the mournful cry slowly drifted through the dark room.
"Yingxue—," Lai Yingzhu greeted carefully, seeing that the woman seemed to raise her head, her crying paused a little, as if she recognized who she was, she snorted softly, and the whole person rushed towards Lai Yingzhu.
I just heard Hong Xin talk about what happened to his best friend, and now I have seen people with my own eyes, the girl who is more sunny on weekdays has become like this, Lai Yingzhu's heart hurts, it hurts very much, and when he saw Yingxue pounce, he hurriedly opened his arms to meet him.
Suddenly I felt a pain in my ribs, and in the next moment, Lai Yingzhu's consciousness had sunk into darkness.
A low laugh echoed through the room.
"Sangongzi is really a good means, Sanjin is an eye-opener today. A figure came out from behind the tent, bowing down, and the words of the greeting sounded like they came from the bottom of his heart.
It was almost noon when Li Qing took Wu Ape and Chun Nier to Buqiaotou, although Chuyi had just been peaceful, Li Qing could still feel the changes along the way, there were more buying and selling shops, and there were more people walking around the street, and the most notable thing was that there were more smiles on people's faces.
Li Qing is in a very good mood, his wife is peaceful and quiet, isn't this the day that the people are most looking forward to? For the people at the bottom, nothing is the best thing.
After calculating the time, it was estimated that it would be about noon when he arrived at Buqiaotou, and just in time for dinner, Li Qing decided to add some dishes to the big guys.
went to Chen Xingji to cut cooked beef, pig ears and other meat food, and went to the Shengjia wine shop next door to sell a few catties of wine.
The reason why Buqiaotou is called Buqiaotou is because most of the people who live here make a living from spinning cloth, and it is close to the river, which gives it this name. There are many spinning machines, naturally a little noisy, and it is not a good place to do learning, but the old master Zeng doesn't care, in the old master's opinion, everywhere is a good place to do learning, just see if your heart can be calm.
Seeing Li Qing and the three of them knocking on the old master's house, the neighbors on the left and right immediately surrounded them, and everyone who said anything about me was inquiring about the whereabouts of the old master Zeng.
Li Qing didn't have a trace of impatience, just smiled and explained to everyone, I heard that the old master Zeng and the students were safe and sound, but they were still guests in the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall, and they left with a smile and satisfaction.
Zhang Xiaodao thought it was Jian Xiaoxin and Ye Zi who were back, so he ran to open the door in a hurry, and when he opened the door, he didn't expect it to be Li Qing, and there were two teenagers behind him.
"Brother Qing'er?" Zhang Xiaodao's eyes widened, and he was a little flustered for a while.
"What? I didn't expect my injury to heal so quickly? What are you doing there? Why don't you hurry up and take the wine and meat in, let's have fun at noon." Li Qing knew that Zhang Xiaodao would definitely be relieved when he saw him, don't talk about him, even Li Qing himself didn't expect the injury to heal so quickly.
"Hey—, hey—" Zhang Xiaodao reacted at this time, responded continuously, took the wine and meat from Li Qing's hand, smiled all over his face, beckoned Wu Ape and Chun Nier to come in together, and walked in with the three of them, and did not forget to explain, "Brother Qing'er, if it weren't for those Confucian scholars and old masters who didn't know me and didn't let me stay and serve you, I wouldn't have left you and come back to hide from you." ”
"Really?" Li Qing pretended not to believe it and sank his face.
Zhang Xiaodao was in a hurry, and immediately swore where to block the curse, and when he saw the three people laughing and bending over, Zhang Xiaodao realized that Brother Qing'er was playing tricks on him, and he also laughed, thinking that Brother Qing'er was in a good mood today, and since he knew Brother Qing'er, he rarely saw him joking.
Li Qing asked Zhang Xiaodao to take Wu Ape and Chun Nier to the room, and he carried snacks and fruits to visit Cheng Wudie, after all, it was Jian Xiaoxin's aunt, although she was not familiar with it, but the etiquette should always be thorough.
After only two or three days of not seeing her, Cheng Wudie's complexion has improved a lot, and she can already sit in the house and drink tea.
The two chatted for a while, Li Qing found that Jian Xiaoxin and Ye Zi had not appeared, and when he asked, he realized that the two of them who dared to love each other were really uncomfortable these days, and when they heard the news this morning, Chuyi was too peaceful, where could they still bear it?
Helping Cheng Wudie to walk in the yard, when he passed the stable, he saw two big feet lying there and sleeping, and several big iron boxes were still in the corner, full of dust, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.
Several people chatted and drank tea around the table, waiting on the left, and they didn't see the two girls coming back, and the two girls were still silent on the right, Zhang Xiaodao couldn't hold his breath at first, and he had already stood up, and was stopped by Li Qing. If you go to find someone, of course, you have to go by yourself, after all, it is faster, if there is really any accident, Li Qing still doesn't believe that there is any place in this small county town that he can't go to.
