couldn't do anything to his wife, and Zhou Ping'er's humiliation made him even more painful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wei Hongguang was full of anger and unwillingness, and he had no way to vent it, he only felt that his chest was so stuffy that it was about to burst, so he could only beat his chest hard.

Seeing that her son was so crazy for a woman, the old lady of the Wei family was startled. She glared at him and said bitterly: "What a useless foolish thing, ruining yourself so much for a thing, it's really a shame for our old Wei family." She wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, and scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the old Zhou family more and more in her heart.

Wei Hongguang was silent, he knew that he couldn't change his mother's deep-rooted prejudice against Zhou Ping'er at present, he could only work hard to make more money so that Zhou Ping'er would not be so bad.

"Is anyone there?" asked someone outside the shop.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Seeing that there was business coming to the door, the old lady of the Wei family didn't care about being angry with her son, so she hurriedly squeezed out a smile and went out.

Hua Liyue pulled a handful of dead grass and was feeding an old horse dragging a carriage at the door, and the horse's wet and rough tongue scratched her palms, and she couldn't help but giggle. Yin Che stroked the old horse's messy mane, thinking thoughtfully.

The old lady of the Wei family had already walked out quickly, and she asked with a smile on her face: "What kind of iron do you want to make? Our Wei family iron shop is famous for its fair price and exquisite craftsmanship. Even the horseshoe in the Qingzhou military camp was specially handed over to our family's iron shop to build......"

"Is this carriage also your family's?" Yin Che interrupted the Wei family's old lady's chattering boast.

The old lady of the Wei family was stunned for a moment and said, "That's right, it's our family." "The last three generations of their Wei family have been iron-struck, and this shop is also a time-honored brand in Meiling County. In order to make the business farther, this carriage was specially purchased to pull goods. But it's been a few years, the horses are old, and the cart is broken.

Originally, the horseshoe business in the Qingzhou military camp made a small profit, and the old lady of the Wei family still wanted to use the money to exchange for a new carriage. Who knew that a bag of silver disappeared before she heard a sound. Needless to say, I also know that it must have been this stupid boy from my own family who sent it all to the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, the old lady of the Wei family was angry, and she said angrily: "My carriage is parked at the door of my house, is it still in the way of your business? Do you want to do business, if not, just stand farther away, don't block the door of my shop, and hinder our business." ”

"Don't be verbose, we are from the yamen, and we are investigating the case now. Say whatever you ask, where is so much nonsense. Xie Yuanda jumped out of the back of the carriage, still clutching a few empty sacks in his hands.

"It turns out that a few are officials. Mrs. Wei saw that Xie Yuanda was dressed as an official, and her arrogance suddenly became half a cut shorter. She immediately changed her smiling face and said cautiously, "I don't know what the official master commands?"

Xie Yuanda ignored her, he showed the sack in his hand to Hua Lianyue, Yin Che looked at it, and then whispered to them: "Not only did I find this in the carriage, but I also found a large amount of residual blood under the carriage. ”

The flowers are pity, and Yin Che's eyes are bright. The old lady of the Wei family said with a worried face: "What bloodstains? Our carriages are all used to pull goods, how can there be bloodstains?"

“......”

Yin Che and Xie Yuanda rushed into the shop, and saw that the fire in the stove was still dazzling, and the hammer was thrown on the iron stake at will. The scorching mess of the room was silent, and there was no one.

"Oh no, let him run away......" Yin Che stomped his foot in annoyance.

......

As the sun sets, jackdaws return to their nests, and the smoke rising from each house slowly disappears into the dark sky with wisps of bright red sunset.

Zhou's family, Zhou Ping'er is cooking alone on the fire.

Speaking of cooking, there are only some soybeans in the dark iron pot, and the mixed vegetable porridge made from wild vegetables and brown rice. Although Hua Lianyue left the bag of silver in the name of Huo Lianjue, she didn't want to use it very much. After all, she already owes Wei Hongguang too much, she will never touch this silver, and she will definitely find an opportunity to pay it back to him in the future.

Zhou Ping'er sat on the mazaar, looking at the red flames in a daze. After staring at it for a long time, she felt that the back of her neck was sore, so she reached out and kneaded it vigorously.

"Ping'er, Ping'er......." Wei Hongguang poked his head out of the wall again, calling anxiously.

Zhou Ping'er paused, the familiar figure and familiar voice made her miss it incomparably. She flattened her mouth, and the tip of her nose felt a sour feeling inexplicably.

Zhou Ping'er turned her face sideways and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and when she faced him again, she was irritable and impatient: "Why are you so entangled." If I let others see me, I still think that I am having a private meeting with you, and you let me see people in the future. She jerked to her feet, trying to hide back in the house.

Wei Hongguang said anxiously: "Wait, I'm not messing around, I really have something important to find you this time." Come out, and I'll be waiting for you outside the corner gate. He slid down the wall and was gone.

"You ......"

Zhou Ping'er looked at his rapidly disappearing back in astonishment, and stomped her feet with hatred. I have the heart to ignore him, and I am afraid that he will wait and refuse to leave. After thinking about it, she decided to go out and listen to him tell him what was going on to make him so anxious.

After filling the fire pit with some firewood, she hurried out of the courtyard.

From afar, she saw Wei Hongguang like ants on a hot pot, circling around the corner gate. Zhou Ping'er walked over quickly, and before she could ask, Wei Hongguang grabbed her hand and said eagerly: "Ping'er, you can go with me!"

"Where are you going?" asked Zhou Ping'er subconsciously.

Wei Hongguang said excitedly: "You can go anywhere, as long as you can leave here." I have the craft to feed you wherever you go. ”

"Talking bastard again!" Zhou Ping'er broke his hand and said angrily: "Can you leave your father and mother alone? Can you leave your shop behind? Can you leave your younger siblings behind?"

"No matter what, I can't care so much. Wei Hongguang waved his hand and said unusually anxiously.

"You can ignore everything, but I can't. Zhou Ping'er said sadly: "My mother is like that, my father's body is not good, if I leave, what will they do?" She also wanted to leave everything behind and go with him, but there were too many stumbles in her heart. After all, she couldn't abandon her father and mother and find happiness alone.

"You don't know. Wei Hongguang eagerly grabbed her shoulder, lowered his voice and shouted: "Just now, the people from the Yamen have already found my house, and they even found blood stains under the carriage. I crept out of the wall while they didn't notice it. I can't stay in this Meiling County anymore, you have to go with me. ”

"What? the people from the Yamen have found you!" Zhou Ping'er covered her mouth in horror, and her little face instantly faded all blood.

Wei Hongguang nodded and said eagerly: "Yes, so I have to go......"

Zhou Ping'er hesitated for a moment, finally settled down, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Really!" Wei Hongguang was overjoyed, he thought that he would have to take a lot of words to persuade Zhou Ping'er, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily.

"You wait for me for a moment!" A trace of perseverance flashed on Zhou Ping'er's pale face, and said, "I'll go and clean up, and I'll come out immediately." ”

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you here. Wei Hongguang's dark and resolute face showed a rare tenderness and sweetness. He reluctantly watched Zhou Ping'er's slender figure disappear behind the wall.

After Zhou Ping'er left, Wei Hongguang was afraid that others would find out his whereabouts, so he kept hiding under the corner gate. As time passed slowly, Zhou Ping'er was never seen coming out of the house. He was anxious and uneasy, afraid that Zhou Ping'er would regret it, and finally walked out of the corner door impatiently.

Dodging to the wall of Zhou's house, he was about to climb up and look. Suddenly, a strong wind sounded behind him, and he felt a thrill in his heart, and he just wanted to turn back, but he felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, and after a sharp pain, a strong feeling of dizziness hit his head.

Wei Hongguang stroked the back of his head and turned around with difficulty, wanting to see who attacked him. In front of him, Zhou Ping'er's pear blossom and rainy face appeared, and a tall man with terrifying scars on half of his face.

Wei Hongguang said in disbelief: "Ping'er, you ......" Before the words fell, the expressionless man swung down with a stick again, knocking him to the ground in an instant.
