After Zhang Jiatian ate and drank enough, he and Hong Xiaojiu talked about everything they should talk about, and slept well in the small inn in this town. He hadn't eaten a serious meal for a long time, and he hadn't slept for a long time. As soon as he slept until dawn the next day, he woke up feeling sore all over his body, but his spirit was really sufficient, and he felt that his eyes were bright and his heart was bright.

When he went out, he asked the orderly to scoop up the well water, and he plunged his head into the water, and washed his nose like a horse. Ma Yongkun and Zhang Wenxin also woke up, and Zhang Jiatian asked while wiping his head and face with a towel, "Where is Baoyu?"

Zhang Wenxin replied: "I haven't woken up yet, the child is sleepy." ”

Zhang Jiatian replied: "Let him sleep, and call him when we are leaving." ”

Zhang Wenxin asked again: "Master, let's really go with Hong Xiaojiu?"

Zhang Jiatian asked rhetorically: "Do you have a better place to go?" and then without waiting for Zhang Wenxin to answer, he lowered his voice: "Let's take one step at a time, anyway, this time we really pinned our heads to the waistband of our trousers." ”

After saying this, someone came from outside the inn - Lin Yannong.

Zhang Jiatian saw Lin Yannong, although he felt that she seemed to have fallen from the sky, but he was not very surprised, because this woman has always been like this, and she appeared in front of him coldly at every turn. Holding the big towel in his hand, he didn't think about the hard work, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lin Yannong was wearing gray cloth pants and gray cloth shoes, the dust on the upper of the shoes could be more than an inch thick, and a gray and blue handkerchief was also wrapped around her head

There was no posture at the moment, a yellow face was round and swollen, the eyelids were very thick, and the eyes were squinted, and the lips were gray and chapped. With a broken bag on her back, she looked very much like a refugee. Zhang Jiatian was calm to her, and she was also calm to Zhang Jiatian: "I have been quietly following you." ”

Zhang Jiatian asked again: "Didn't I let you stay honestly in Wenxian?"

"You're not there anymore, I don't dare to stay. ”

"That's how you got all the way?"

"I'm not coming, I'm flying over?" she smiled, her dry lips pursed, and a bloody cut came out. Zhang Jiatian frowned and wiped her lips with a towel, wiping off a trace of blood: "I think you are really wrong, what are you running around like a! No one sent me a letter on the way to die like you, and no one collected your body, do you know?"

Lin Yannong pressed his fingers to the sore spot on his lips: "Anyway, I'm alive to catch up with you, since you know the danger on the road, you can't drive me away anymore." ”

Zhang Jiatian threw the big towel in his hand into the basin of water, and still felt that this woman was inexplicable: "Are you crazy?"

Lin Yannong turned his back and lifted the big burden upward: "I'm tired, I have to drink saliva." Then she turned to Zhang Wenxin and Ma Yongkun, first bowed to Zhang Wenxin with a smile, said "Hello Captain Zhang", and then asked Ma Yongkun: "Cousin, do you have water? I'm not hungry, but I'm so thirsty that my throat is on fire." ”

Ma Yongkun didn't say a word, turned his head and ran to the kitchen, came back in the blink of an eye, and held a large teacup of boiled water with both hands: "You drink." ”

Lin Yannong took it

The big teacup that was half the size of her head and drank it bitterly. This big glass of water made her lips regain their bright red, she handed the big teacup back to Ma Yongkun, and then pulled Zhang Jiatian into the room, and laughed quietly: "Don't you look at me with such a tiger face? People are chasing you with thousands of mountains and rivers, you are good, not only do you not feel sorry for me, but you also stare at me, what kind of person!"

"I didn't glare at you, I was wondering. I don't have any good for you, why do you keep following me?"

"You don't have any benefit for me, I have good for you. Speaking of this, she tugged at his sleeve, looked into his eyes and smiled and asked, "Are you out of money?"

Zhang Jiatian looked at her suspiciously: "What are you doing? What does this have to do with you?"

Lin Yannong replied: "If you have no money, I will give it to you." Am I not rich?"

Zhang Jiatian immediately shook his head: "I have money, and I won't spend your money if I don't have money." You don't have a place to go now, and you're still counting on that money to live in the future. ”

When Lin Yannong heard this, he was silent for a moment, then lowered his head, still tugging on his sleeve: "Then you will give me a landing." ”

Immediately afterwards, she muttered again: "People's manly husbands are all three wives and four concubines, I don't dare to expect to be your main wife, as long as you are willing to have me, I can follow you clearly and fairly, and I will be satisfied." ”

After saying this, she hung her head and waited for a moment, but she didn't wait for Zhang Jiatian's answer. The hand holding his sleeve slowly loosened, and she suddenly didn't dare to look up, for fear that if she looked up, she would cry out in shame and pain. Turning her back to Zhang Jiatian, she muttered softly: "In terms of appearance, I don't."

Ugly, in terms of age, I'm not old, if you want to say washing and working, I can do it. Where am I worse than others? I don't even see you when I send it to the door?"

Then she stretched out her hand to open the door: "Since you dislike me, then I should go back, otherwise you will look at me as an eyesore, and I will feel uncomfortable." ”

A big hand grabbed her thin arm, and then Zhang Jiatian's voice sounded: "Okay, you stay! This trip is not dead halfway, your life is big, do you dare to walk back alone?"

She turned around slowly and glanced at him: "Then I'll wash my face." ”

Lin Yannong didn't stop for a minute, and as soon as he washed his face, he followed Zhang Jiatian on the road again.

Zhang Jiatian didn't let her go in the army, and sent a small orderly to lead her in a carriage and follow behind the team. The wagon's wooden wheels swirled on the potholed dirt road, and the passengers were about to jump. But Lin Yannong stretched out two legs in the car, but she felt comfortable and comfortable. Zhang Jiatian doesn't see her as a beauty, but she has devoted herself to the mold of a beauty since she was a child and grew up in the style of a beauty. She is well-maintained, her body is snow-white ice muscles and jade bones, and her two feet are only willing to step on high heels to go up the stairs and get off the car, and she is also a pair of jade feet that have never worked hard. As a result, this trip was good, she almost broke up a body of ice muscle jade bones, and her two jade feet almost made her a bigfoot.

In fact, she also felt that she was crazy, as if she had nymphomania, and she didn't want her life for the sake of a young man.

At the same time, Zhang Jiatian was riding a tall horse and was walking with Hong Xiaojiu at the front of the team. When Hong Xiaojiu was in trouble, he suffered a dangerous one

Plotting, the car he was riding in rolled down the mountain road. Although he did not die, the bone of his left leg was crushed into three, and the broken bone even pierced the flesh and saw the light of day. The injury was too serious, and although the bone was re-regrown and the leg was still a stick, it was no longer able to walk freely, so Hong Xiaojiu had to keep a cane.

Of course, this account still has to be recorded in Lei Yiming's name.

In order to cover up the injured leg, Hong Xiaojiu would never walk if he could ride a horse. Zhang Jiatian had no choice but to get on the horse because he wanted to go with him. Influenced by Lei Yiming before, he always felt that Hong Xiaojiu was a big traitor, but when he walked and talked side by side today, he found that this person didn't seem to be so evil, and his speech and demeanor were hearty, and he was even a little arrogant.

So he thought that he was really stupid at the beginning, and he believed whatever Lei Yiming said.

The team marched for most of the day, and in the evening, they entered a large county town.

This place is called Qingyu County, with high walls on all sides, and it is an old city with a very long history. In terms of prosperity and advancement, it cannot be compared with Wenxian County, but the roads in the county are clear and the houses are like them, and they cannot be considered bad. After Hong Xiaojiu and his nephew occupied the county seat, they first built two rows of decent brick houses, one row as a primary school and the other as a division headquarters. The two rows of houses are equipped with glass windows, which can be called the most modern buildings in the county, and Hong Xiaojiu also specially kidnapped a few eighteen or nineteen-year-old female students from the normal school in other counties to serve as primary school teachers, and specifically told his nephew: "Those female teachers can't be a day." ”

The body of the nephew

, I love women very much, but as soon as the body heard the soul speak, it obediently controlled itself, and when I saw the female teacher, I walked around, and I really didn't dare to do it.

With such a beautiful house, teachers, and a free lunch, Hong Xiaojiu attracted many children and teenagers to come to school, and among them, the talented man with good health and good mind was selected by him and accepted into the division headquarters as an errand boy. In the school, it is orderly and civilized-at first, there were also a few lawless big children, who bullied Mr. is a big girl, and made a lot of noise in class, but Hong Xiaojiu found out, and these students were escorted by soldiers to the intersection outside the school and had their heads cut off. Since then, big knives have been set up next to the lecterns in the classroom, not to mention the students, even the teachers are trembling and dare not be lazy.

The children of these thousands of families have been honestly managed by Hong Xiaojiu, and his nephew, whose military merit is equal to zero, is naturally firmly grasped by him in the palm of his hand. After Zhang Jiatian entered the city, he saw his nephew first. Nephew - Master Cao Zhengxiong - is about thirty years old this year, with a baby face, big eyes and double eyelids, a small pointed nose, small thin lips, a bit of a boy and a girl, I don't know what is missing on my face, I always look like a useless person.

Cao Zhengxiong has been influenced by his ninth uncle since he was a child, and he is determined to follow Rong, and he has studied in five or six military schools in China alone, but he has not been able to graduate in any of them, and he has studied military affairs in Germany and Japan, and has spent a lot of money in his family. Since Hong Xiaojiu came to him, he wanted to beat him every three or five days, but he has always admired and respected Hong Xiaojiu, and he is in his thirties.

Cao Zhengxiong saw his uncle as if he saw the soul and the backbone, and he was very enthusiastic about Zhang Jiatian, but the enthusiasm was not very pure, Zhang Jiatian felt that this man who was neither male nor female probably looked down on himself a little because he was young.

He wasn't annoyed, because with his current down-and-out appearance, there was really nothing to look up to. He thinks that real gold is not afraid of fire, let's take a look!
