Chapter Thirty-Six: The Roof Leak Happened to Rain Overnight
The matter of the Mo family's blacksmith shop has been rumored in the far north city. Some people even say that the Mo family has done some dirty things that people and gods are angry about, which has aroused the wrath of the heavenly prince and punished him. The three of them became tigers, which was the absurd remarks of some people or unintentional people, and in the end, more and more people believed this statement.
Coincidentally, some people in the Lei Zhan mercenary group bought weapons and armor at the Mo family's blacksmith shop yesterday, and without thinking about it, they naturally turned into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.
Surprisingly, the head of the regiment, Lei Xing, not only personally comforted those people, so that they would not participate in the troublemakers, and dispelled the idea of holding the Mo family accountable. And paid out of his own pocket to compensate those people for the cost of purchasing weapons and armor.
For this silent overture, many people may not understand it very well, and feel that it is a waste of effort and will definitely be in vain. But Xuanchen seems to be very suitable.
This kind of favor needs to take a long-term view, and sooner or later it will be useful.
For a hairpin family like the Mo family, if you are too eager for quick success, shout and tell him, look, I let my subordinates calm down and solve your urgent needs. coincides with the current sensitive period, the Mo family will only think that you are flattering and flattering, not only may not receive your affection, but will be grateful to you, and even worse, the mind is deeper, but will be over-understanding, thinking that you have ulterior motives, taking advantage of the illness to send medicine, and then in the future, expand this favor and ask for more benefits.
Therefore, sometimes it is also particular about sending charcoal in the snow, and the bamboo basket can be empty, but do not be self-defeating.
At least in Xuan Chen's opinion, he was on Lei Xing's side.
People are doing what the sky is watching, and the bad things are like this, and the same is true of the good things. Wait until one day in the future, when the clouds are cleared, the Mo family will find out the silent help of the Thunder War Mercenary Group today, not to mention gratitude, at least they will remember this kindness, and they don't need to do anything with the Thunder War Mercenary Group, and the Mo family itself will take the initiative to expand this favor.
Let it be, if the Mo family is a group of white-eyed wolves, then it's another matter. It is up to people to plan things, to achieve things in heaven, to do the things in front of you well, and how things progress in the future depends on the will of God. After all, providence is unpredictable.
But who will be the initiator of this turmoil?
Of course, Xuanchen's first thought was the Mu family, after all, there was the previous "planting and blaming" first. Combined with the day when he went downstairs in the moon, Kikura Kashiwa was "open-mouthed" when he was drunk. In the end, it cannot be ruled out that the inscription master of the Mu family worships the monsoon as it interferes.
The suspicion of the Mu family is not necessarily the only one, but at least it is the biggest.
But the strange thing is that the Mu family has neither fallen into the well nor fanned the flames from beginning to end, and is unusually quiet. It's not like their way of doing things.
This made Xuanchen puzzled, and said that the dog that bit was silent, but the dog of the Mu family had already bitten people, shouldn't he wag his tail and bark wildly to celebrate the victory?
Unless, they want more than that......
A red arrow suddenly shot in from outside the courtyard wall, pointing at Xuanchen's eyebrows. Xuan Chen stretched out his fingers and pinned the red arrow precisely.
It was the same as the red arrow that shot the candlestick that night, the technique was clumsy, and the head was embarrassed.
As for the real target of this arrow, I am afraid that only its owner knows.
Xuan Chen looked up, and on the other side of the wall, half of his smooth forehead quickly shrank.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xuanchen took off the note tied to the red arrow, opened it and saw that there were a few neat and neat small characters written on it: There is no place to stand at home, so I came to seek shelter from the rain.
Xuanchen couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, afraid that the girl on the other side of the courtyard wall would be unhappy when she heard it.
The girl standing under the courtyard wall with her little hands is looking forward to the wooden fence door on the left, only to feel that a moment seems to be as long as an hour, so blatantly guarding the door of someone else's house in broad daylight, although she never regards herself as a lady, but the woman is ashamed and can't escape.
I heard that his mother lived in a simple house, and it was likely that she was also at home at this time, what if she was the first to come out? Thinking of this, the girl had countless deer jumping around in her heart.
"Squeak...... sound, the door of the wooden fence courtyard was opened from the inside out, and he stepped out, it was a teenager.
The girl's hanging heart finally fell.
Xuanchen walked up to the girl and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Mo Qinghan brushed the green silk on his sideburns, and asked a little unspeakably: "Do you have time? Let's go for a walk by the Yuliu River, talk as we go?"
Xuanchen nodded, "Yes." ”
The two walked side by side, along the narrow clay alley towards the outside.
Maybe it's a girl who is affected by family affairs, and it's a little dull, and she hasn't said a word when she walks out about a hundred meters away.
In the end, it was Xuan Chen who broke the silence at the beginning and said, "Is it because of what happened to the blacksmith shop?"
Mo Qinghan nodded and said: "The family is worried about this, and Daddy is even more busy, in short, everyone is quite unhappy." ”
"Sooner or later, the truth will come out, don't worry too much. Don't care about the gossip that comes and goes, people are terrible, don't care about them. Xuanchen said.
Mo Qinghan kicked away a stone under his feet, and the stone rolled forward a distance of about half a zhang, "Well, I was a little angry at first, but my mother enlightened me later, and when I said it, it was a bit similar to what you said." I'll look a lot wider later, and I don't care about them hiding behind their backs, I can't talk about them anyway. ”
The stone appeared in front of him again, and Mo Qinghan kicked forward again.
Mo Qinghan continued: "Daddy, they all suspect that the Mu family is secretly causing the damage, in fact, the last auction house and the theft of the demon core that happened not long ago, the Mu family has already made it clear that it is preparing to be unfavorable to the family, but they didn't expect it to come so soon. In addition, they didn't know what kind of ghost tricks they used, which was strange and rare, so that their father was caught off guard. ”
The pebble was kicked off the side of the wall, bounced off the ground, and finally fell silent.
Mo Qinghan's strength under his feet was unbalanced, and he was distracted.
Xuan Chen thought for a while and said, "But since they have done it, they will definitely leave clues, but it may be that the methods are strange, and we have never heard of it, so we have fallen into a situation where there is nothing to do at the moment." But I think that the truth is still a matter of time, and sooner or later there will be traces. ”
The sadness on Mo Qinghan's face lightened slightly, obviously listening to the relief of the young man's side knock. In order to avoid her worry, Daddy deliberately behaved indifferently in front of her and did not say a word about family affairs. But the fact that he can cover it up does not mean that everyone is good at covering it up. When she heard from a clansman that "there is a demon living in the Mujia Mansion, the witchcraft is treacherous and grotesque", and then there are more and more rumors about this kind of people, those clansmen who are usually arrogant actually have a rare feeling of timidity.
"I hope Daddy, they can find out about this matter and give the family justice. Mo Qinghan tugged at the hem of her skirt and stepped over a small puddle at her feet. The girl, who has her own unique and beautiful vision of the world, asked sullenly, "Why do you say that you have to cheat me and crush each other for the purpose of surviving each other." Isn't it good for everyone to be safe and develop peacefully? Do we have to step on others in order to make ourselves live better?"
The family was slaughtered, and there were too many young people who had gone through the hot and cold world, but did not have compassion for others, but faced this problem with a smile, saying: "It is not denied that there are many people who pursue the law of the jungle in order to devour others and strengthen themselves." But I think there are also many people who are righteous and disdainful of such methods. It's the same as some people who take pleasure in helping others, while others feel that good people are not rewarded. But since we can't change their minds, and there's no need to try to beg them to change, then why bother with our helplessness?"
"Is there really right or wrong in this world? It must be black and white? I don't think so. The so-called hundred schools of thought contend, the longitudinal and horizontal, is the road we are taking necessarily correct? Not necessarily. ”
"Maybe it's nice, that's the wonderful thing about this world. Rivers and oceans, lofty mountains, plants and flowers, flowers, insects and birds...... Each has its own color, if there is only one way, it will inevitably be too boring. ”
"We can disagree with them and think that they are a sinister person, a dark side of the world, but it is good not to be in league with them, to convince them to go with us, they don't want to, and I don't want to be ruined. ”
Xuanchen smiled and said, "At least that's what I think for now, I don't know if this makes sense, whether it's wrong, so it's good for you to listen to it." I've always felt that if we work hard to cultivate and climb to a higher level step by step, we won't necessarily be able to change the world one day when we have enough strength. Why do we want to change the world? What if our ideas are wrong? And in the end, do we make the world thriving, or is it getting more and more muddy?"
"The judgment of black and white right and wrong in a world is definitely not based on someone's understanding of the rules, but must be the balance point of the scale in the hearts of countless people, summarized, and finally judged by the most recognized rules. What I want to do is that in the future, after I have seen a lot of mountains and rivers and seen a lot of people, I will learn more truths, and then from the many truths, I will select some of the truths that I think are the most reasonable, and tell them to the people I want to tell. If they hear it, if they think it's right, then they take one or two, if they hear it and think it doesn't make much sense, then it's okay, just listen to it, don't take it seriously. ”
"Don't blindly try to change the world, just let it be. But we still need to become strong enough to be unchanged by the world, to be ourselves as we please, nodding our heads at what we approve of and shaking our heads at what we dislike. You can not change the world, but you will never be easily changed by this world. ”
"For example, today, if I had enough strength, when I learned that the Mu family was the culprit and the evidence was conclusive, I might not have gone to them to ask for an explanation at all, and I would have directly punched the Mu family's mansion through. Reasoning or something, they used to look down on me and didn't bother to tell me, so why should I go to them now?"
It was the first time Mo Qinghan had seen such a talkative teenager, and it was also the first time to look at the young man in front of him so seriously, and found that he not only seemed to look different from others, but also seemed to have many thoughts in his heart.
For the first time, she found out that the boy actually had a lot to say to the world.
Mo Qinghan asked, "Where did you learn all these truths you said?"
Xuanchen said with a smile: "When I was okay before, I liked to think about these things. So I said, just listen to it, maybe these things are like the 'moaning without disease' written in the book." ”
Mo Qinghan nodded, and silently wrote down the "big truth" that the young man pondered.
The two walked out of the earthen porcelain alley, and to go to the Yuliu River, they needed to cross the Beilong Street that runs through the north and south of Yaobei City.
Because it is the leading traffic artery in Yaobei City, the central hub that runs through the north and south of Yaobei City, so Beilong Street is not much more lively than the temple fair, with busy traffic and an endless stream of pedestrians and merchants.
After walking on Beilong Street, the two interrupted the topic and did not discuss the blacksmith shop again, after all, there were many people.
Suddenly, the eyes of the crowd looked in the direction of the northern city gate one after another, more and more, and finally one of them shouted in surprise: "Eh, isn't that someone from the Mo family, why is it so badly injured?"
Hearing this, Xuan Chen and Mo Qinghan were both shocked, stopped and followed the prestige, only to see a young man who looked older than Xuan Chen not far away was covered in blood, staggering towards this side with difficulty.
"Brother Mo Xiao!" Mo Qinghan saw the man's facial features blurred by blood clearly, exclaimed, and immediately rushed forward to support him, and Xuan Chen followed closely behind.
The two of them supported the dying blood-clothed young man left and right, I am afraid that if the two of them appeared a moment later, he would fall to the ground and be unconscious.
Mo Xiao raised his bloody eyes, and after seeing the person clearly, he said in a hoarse voice, "Qinghan, hurry up...... Hurry up and inform the patriarch, the Mu family is coming, Brother Mo Ling and Qinghe are deep in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, their lives are hanging by a thread, and they are in danger!"
After saying this sentence in one breath, the blood-stained young man's nerves that had been tense all the way suddenly relaxed, his head tilted, and he passed out.
"Brother Mo Xiao, Brother Mo Xiao!" Mo Qinghan was anxious, and tears rolled wildly in his eyes.
Xuan Chen forcibly calmed himself down, and kept thinking about what to do next. But what is the best thing to do?
After a while, he told Mo Qinghan: "You take him back to the Mo family first, and we will see you in the Mo family." ”
After speaking, Xuanchen threw down the two of them and plunged into the flow of people.
Although he didn't know Xuanchen's intentions, at a critical moment, Mo Qinghan didn't have time to analyze his intentions, so he could only follow what he said first, and help Mo Xiao to walk in the direction of the Mo family.
In the middle of Beilong Street, the picture of a girl in a dark green dress holding a bloody dress struggling forward is particularly eye-catching. Poor simple-minded girl, in a hurry, actually forgot to use the aura to enhance her strength, and only relied on a thin body to move forward stubbornly.
And there were so many onlookers, and there were many faces changing along the way, but no one reached out to help.
They all heard clearly the words of the blood-clothed young man before he fainted, the Mu family, the Mo family?
The struggle between the two behemoths, they dare to contaminate the slightest, that is, they set themselves on fire.
——
After leaving Mo Qinghan, Xuanchen used his aura to speed through the criss-crossing streets, galloping for more than ten minutes, and finally stopped in front of a mansion. When I looked up, I saw a black plaque with the word "Lei Zhan" written on it.
Ignoring the repeated obstructions of the guards at the door, Xuanchen went straight into the mansion and went straight to the hall.
After returning from the moon downstairs that night, Xuanchen had followed Xiao Zhen to the regimental headquarters of the Thunder War Mercenary Regiment once, and fortunately, he was not scurrying around like a headless fly at the moment.
In the face of the teenager's breakthrough, due to the age of the other party, the honest and upright two guards were not able to forcibly capture the teenager by force, for fear of hurting him. So I had to chase and drink in an attempt to get the boy to stop his reckless behavior.
I never thought that the young man's steps were surprisingly fast, and he walked like a fly, and in just a few moments, he threw off the two people who were only chasing with his physique.
"What is the situation on the Mo family's side now?" Lei Xing, who was sitting at the top of the hall, asked loudly, looking slightly tired, not as energetic as before.
Yue Feng replied: "The Mo family over there in the blacksmith shop has basically taken care of it, and the remaining one or two who refuse to be entangled will be invited back to the Mo family's mansion by Mo Gu to discuss it again." ”
"What is the reason and still can't be clarified, is it?" asked Lei Xing again.
Yue Feng shook his head helplessly.
"Hey, you can't go in!"
Suddenly there was a shout outside the door.
"What's the matter with you kid, stop me. ”
Everyone in the hall heard the movement and looked out of the door.
Then I saw Xuan Chen's figure cross the threshold of the hall, and the panting young man surprised everyone present.
Xiao Zhen got up first and asked suspiciously, "Chen'er, why are you here, is there anything important about being so flustered?"
At this time, the two guards finally caught up, but when they saw the performance of everyone inside, they were immediately confused, "Brother Xiao, what is this?"
Xiao Zhen said apologetically: "I disturbed the two brothers, this is a dog, there should be something important, so I was reckless, and I hope the two brothers will forgive me." ”
Xuanchen suddenly spoke in a deep voice and went straight to the point.
"Commander, now there is an opportunity for the Mo family to be willing to cross the same boat with us, do you want it or not?"
The crows were silent, and everyone present looked at the young man with a solemn look, but they looked at each other, not knowing why.
is also, a waste boy who used to be idle for five years, even if he has shown his edge for the first time, he is still a teenager. Such a young man vainly said that he could give the Lei Zhan mercenary group a chance to match with the Mo family, this is not absurd, not a fantasy, what else can it be?
However, the next moment when the young man's aftermath dissipated, Lei Xing stood up directly, took a deep breath, and looked at the young man intently: "Is this true?"
