Chapter 447: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain
At the end of the song, the people dispersed, and the bonfire gradually went out.
Back in front of the familiar bamboo building, leaning against one of the osmanthus trees, Chu Tianming frowned tightly, looking at the string moon in the sky alone.
The reason why he frowned tightly was not because he was in a bad mood, but because the rice wine before, his stamina was not ordinarily powerful, and Chu Tianming, who usually drank a good amount of alcohol, seemed to be a little dizzy at the moment.
It is worth mentioning that because of Ruan Meiyu's relationship, Chu Tianming inevitably became the focus of the scene, so the villagers who came to toast can be described as wave after wave, if it wasn't for Ruan Meiyu's help in mediating it, Chu Tianming would have fallen down a long time ago.
Therefore, under the leadership of Ruan Meiyu and Dong'er, Chu Tianming, who returned to the front of the bamboo building, did not drill into the house like Qin Yubing and the others, he just stood outside the door alone, letting the cold wind gradually blow away the alcohol ratio in the blood.
Now, almost half an hour has passed, and Chu Tianming, who feels a lot more sober, wants to turn around and walk towards the door, but he seems to lack a little courage.
"Young Master......"
At this moment, a call suddenly came from behind him, and with this title, Chu Tianming was sure that there should be no one else except for the extremely stubborn Feng Lao.
So, too lazy to turn back, Chu Tianming hurriedly responded lightly: "Old Feng, haven't slept yet?"
Walking slowly in front of Chu Tianming, Feng Lao hurriedly saluted respectfully, and then, looking at Chu Tianming in front of him, Feng Lao said softly: "I was about to go back to the house, but I saw that the young master was here, so I ......"
"Hehe, I'm fine, I'm just drinking too much wine and want to sober up here. ”
"That's ...... so"
Hearing Chu Tianming say this, Feng Lao immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly, just now, he really wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but Qin Yubing, Shen Yanhong, and Ruan Meiyu didn't speak, so it was inconvenient for him to say anything.
However, from a certain point of view, Feng Lao secretly admired it very much, although Chu Tianming only took a sip most of the time, but so many people took turns to fight, Chu Tianming could still stay sober in the end, this amount of alcohol is really not comparable to ordinary people.
"Hmmm......"
Facing Elder Feng's gaze, Chu Tianming hurriedly smiled faintly: "Elder Feng, it's not too early, you better go and rest early." ”
"Okay, I'll go ......"
Yes, the young master has spoken, what else can Feng Lao say? Yes, nodding lightly at Chu Tianming, Feng Lao was about to take a step, but, as if he thought of something, Feng Lao immediately retracted his steps.
"Young master, when you returned to Huaxia this time, I don't know if you have seen the master?"
"No ......"
Faced with this question, Chu Tianming immediately shook his head with a wry smile: "I still have one thing to deal with, so I don't plan to go back to the mountain before this." ”
"Uh......"
I really wanted to ask, what was the matter, although he was old, he should still be able to share his worries, but thinking that Chu Tianming would probably not let him leave Hongjiazhai, Feng Lao dispelled the idea in his heart.
So, staring at the depths of the night, Feng Lao took another step, but after not taking a few steps, Feng Lao immediately retreated, and then looked at Chu Tianming's emaciated face, and the whole thing looked like he wanted to say something.
In this regard, Chu Tianming couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Elder Feng, what do you want to say when you hesitate like this?"
"Young master, there is one thing, I don't know whether to say it or not?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say that there are no outsiders here. ”
"That's ......"
With Chu Tianming's permission, Feng Lao hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Young Master, can you still remember Zhao Dazhuang?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
Chu Tianming was really impressed by this name, because when Ruan Wenhua rebelled, as the most important chess piece, Zhao Dazhuang almost killed Ruan Meiyu.
"That's ......"
Seeing that Chu Tianming didn't seem to be angry, Feng Lao suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then, without the slightest hesitation, Feng Lao hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Knowing that the young master has returned to Hongjiazhai again, Zhao Dazhuang has privately looked for me, hoping to meet the young master. ”
"Uh......"
Hearing Elder Feng say this, Chu Tianming suddenly had a bitter smile: "He wants to see me, just ask him to come over directly, why make it so mysterious? By the way, how is he now? He hasn't been kicked out of Hongjiazhai, right?"
"No, since the patriarch forgave him that day, he will definitely not do any more care, but, perhaps because of the guilt in his heart, that kid has been shrinking at home and not being born until today, when he learned that the young master had returned to Hongjiazhai, Zhao Dazhuang walked out of the prison he had demarcated. ”
Then, looking at a corner, Feng Lao hurriedly waved his hand again: "Boy, come out quickly." ”
"Thank you, old ......"
From the dark curtain, a young man walked out of the voice, first gave Feng Lao a grateful look, and then, looking at Chu Tianming opposite, Zhao Dazhuang immediately saluted respectfully.
"Chu Shao, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”
"Looking for me?"
"Yes......" nodded slightly, Zhao Dazhuang didn't intend to beat around the bush, and immediately said directly: "Cheeky came, just to tell Chu Shao that Ruan Leping had left Hongjiazhai." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Hearing these brainless words, Chu Tianming still had a feeling of being in a fog, but since Zhao Dazhuang did not hesitate to move Feng Lao, his intention must not be so simple.
Facing Chu Tianming's puzzled eyes, Feng Lao hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Young master, it's like this, I can't stand Ruan Leping's bitter pleading, the patriarch finally agreed to his request some time ago, and sent someone to escort him to South Vietnam for treatment, but as a result, after walking out of the mountain, Ruan Leping had no news. ”
"Uh......" Hearing the news, Chu Tianming's eyes immediately burst out with a hint of coldness: "In this way, Ruan Leping's departure is to let the tiger return to the mountain."
"Chu Shao, to be honest, Da Zhuang has such worries, because Ruan Wenhua and Nguyen Leping, father and son, seem to have reached some kind of agreement with the South Vietnamese military, so Da Zhuang is worried that after Ruan Leping leaves Hongjiazhai this time, he will definitely try to use the power of the South Vietnamese military to launch a crazy revenge on Hongjiazhai. ”
Zhao Dazhuang will never forget jì, deceived by Ruan Wenhua and Ruan Leping's father and son, he almost became a sinner of Hongjiazhai through the ages, fortunately, he finally woke up in time, so as not to make a big mistake, even so, according to the clan rules of Hongjiazhai, he still has to be stabbed three times and six holes, and then expelled from the village, never returned.
However, it was the words of the person in front of him that not only exempted him from the pain of flesh and skin, but also allowed him to continue to stay in Hongjiazhai and stay in this place where he was born and raised.
Therefore, for Chu Tianming's life-saving grace, Zhao Dazhuang can be said to be engraved in his heart, but for some reason, he can't follow Chu Tianming's left and right for the time being, he can only be like Feng Lao, silently guarding this village, silently guarding Ruan Meiyu, who is obsessed with Chu Tianming.
It is precisely for this reason that when he learned that Nguyen Le Binh was allowed to leave the village, Zhao Da Zhuang immediately realized that the situation was not good, once Nguyen Dong Binh borrowed the men and horses of the South Vietnamese army, Hongjiazhai would be another catastrophe, and the first to bear the brunt would only be Nguyen Van Hung and Nguyen My Ngoc father and daughter.
It's a pity that because of his past mistakes, Zhao Dazhuang knows that it is difficult to win the trust of others, so even if he has the intention to stop it, he is at a loss.
Fortunately, at this critical time, Chu Tianming suddenly returned to Hongjiazhai, which made Zhao Dazhuang secretly relieved, in front of Ruan Wenxiong and Ruan Meiyu, he really couldn't tell him directly, but in front of Chu Tianming, he could know everything, and say everything!
His brows were directly twisted into a messy rope, and Chu Tianming immediately couldn't help but let out a low roar: "Since you know this, why didn't you stop it at that time?"
For Chu Tianming, Ruan Leping is by no means a good type, and on the day the rebellion was quelled, Chu Tianming thought about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but considering that he was not a villager from Hongjiazhai, Chu Tianming didn't say anything.
As for protecting Zhao Dazhuang at the beginning, it was because Ruan Wenxiong took the initiative to ask for his opinion, so Chu Tianming calmly said his opinion, otherwise, he would still remain silent.
Now, after some contemplation, Chu Tianming really felt that Zhao Dazhuang was not worrying about the sky, let alone stirring up trouble here, but he was a little incomprehensible, since Zhao Dazhuang had such worries, why didn't he stop it immediately?
"This ......"
Looking at Chu Tianming in front of him, Zhao Dazhuang couldn't help but smile sadly: "How can you be trusted by the words you say when you are guilty?"
"Confused ......"
Hearing this, a nameless fire suddenly erupted in Chu Tianming's heart: "The so-called people are not sages, who can be without faults? Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great, people, in this life, everyone will take a few wrong steps, as long as they can be corrected in time, then isn't it?"
"You, you, even if you can't tell the patriarch and the young lady, can't you come to me?"
Similarly, staring at Zhao Dazhuang in front of him, Feng Lao immediately shook his head frantically, to be honest, he really didn't know as much about the situation of Ruan Wenhua and Ruan Leping as Zhao Dazhuang, so when Ruan Leping left the village, he didn't show up to stop him.
"Uh......"
Facing the accusations of Chu Tianming and Feng Lao, Zhao Dazhuang suddenly regretted his intestines, as Feng Lao said, Ruan Wenxiong and Ruan Meiyu, he really didn't want to say anything, but the old man next to him, he could tell him frankly!
"Alright, I got it. ”
Looking at Zhao Dazhuang's remorseful look, Chu Tianming couldn't bear to blame him too much, yes, he took a deep breath, and Chu Tianming hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not too early, you all go back and rest, I will find a way to solve this matter." ”
"Okay......"
Hearing Chu Tianming say this, Feng Lao and Zhao Dazhuang had nothing to say, so they had to nod slightly, and then they took a step forward and soon disappeared into the night.
"Alas, another trouble......"
Looking up at the string moon above his head, Chu Tianming immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, Ruan Leping had already left Hongjiazhai, and this matter was not so easy to solve, but if it was not solved, it seemed that there would be endless troubles
