Chapter 92: Acquaintances

Zhang Xing quickly left the place with Zhang Jinbao in her arms, and when she returned to the rouge shop, her heart was still pounding. Ye Hexiang looked at her several times, frowned and said, "What the hell are you?"

Zhang Xing felt that seeing that person was not much better than seeing a ghost.

She had been restless all day, and at night she dreamed again. One by one, the children got off the boat, and the lights along the shore flickered, and there was no one else on the great avenue except them, and their shadows fell to the ground, and with the wind, they were big and small. The stone was still in front of her, and his hand reached behind his back, secretly leading her, turning back from time to time, and whispering, "Watch your step." ”

They were taken to a courtyard with a wicker chair under the eaves, and a man in his forties, with a fat head, big ears, and a big belly, turned the shadow wall and came out, sat on the wicker chair, and looked at them.

She stood behind the stone, and accidentally looked at the person in the rattan chair, although she quickly lowered her head, she still felt the cold in her vest, and heard the voice say, "Hu San, why did you find me all the milk babies?"

Ah Si, who had a cold face, began to pick people, the stone was the first wave to be picked, and she was the second wave. The dream changed in an instant, and they were still in the courtyard, but they were locked in cages, and two long tables were carried in turn, and they were full of food.

"Do you want to eat?" she heard someone say, "then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it?"

The first to jump up was Ah Sheng and another tall boy, and then the loaches were also on it, and the children were in a mess, and there was blood everywhere, some people were crying, some people were shouting, and some people were screaming. She didn't know how she had stuck the stake in her hand into Ah Sheng's neck. It was almost an instinctive reaction.

The ferocious even shocked herself, she never knew that she would be so fierce.

That's still a kid. Although his face was full of blood, his eyes were tender and clear. She watched as those eyes faded. Gradually.

She killed a child.

Zhang Xing woke up from her dream suddenly, and her body was covered in cold sweat. Those dull eyes were still dangling in front of her. Some of the past that wasn't far away, but what she wanted to forget forever came out of her memory that night.

She opened her eyes to look at the glimmer of light outside the window, and felt that her heart was like that glimmer of light, falling into darkness again in this night.

The man she saw today, she heard the trafficker Hu San call him: Zhu Ye.

He also came to Yu County.

It turns out that this nightmare is not far away, it has always been there.

She knew that she had changed a lot in the past two years, and those people might not be able to recognize her, but she was still very worried and scared. She couldn't believe what those people would do to her and everyone around her if they knew she was still alive.

It was about another hellish scene, she thought. As soon as she thought of such a tragic scene, she would feel an inexplicable sadness and indignation in her heart, and she wanted to overturn the world upside down.

She tried to calm herself at night, to calm her heart inch by inch. She wouldn't let that happen to her again. She believes she can do it.

Zhang Xing kept her eyes open until dawn.

The next day, Ye Hexiang planned to visit Ye Yunlan. Ye Yunlanfu's family name is Liu, and his name is Liu Donghai. He is a powerful shopkeeper under the king of Huaiyang, in charge of several shops in Yuxian, and there is a big mansion with five entrances on Yuxian West Street. Zhang Xing was suddenly reluctant to go out, and Ye Hexiang talked for a long time. To no avail, I had to go alone in a huff - Wei Yunhai had something to do, and he went out early in the morning. Zhang Jinbao struggled for a while. I still think it's good to be with my sister, although I can't watch the excitement. But my sister will tell a lot of interesting stories.

Zhang Xing took Zhang Jinbao to stay in the inn and told him a story. He teased him to memorize the book again. Mr. Liu heard Zhang Jinbao's laughter and knocked on the door. Zhang Xing promised Zhang Jinbao a sugar gourd, and then sent Zhang Jinbao to Mr. Liu.

She was alone, so she did needlework in the room. At dinner, Mr. Liu sent Zhang Jinbao back. It didn't take long for Wei Yunhai, Wei Minwen, and Wei Minwu to come back, and they also brought an acquaintance back - He Yuanqing.

Because of Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu's appearance, Mr. Liu and He Yuanqing also knew each other. Mr. Liu, He Yuanqing, Wei Minwen, and Wei Minwu talked about the exam questions. Wei Yunhai didn't know a single word, and they couldn't get into the topic, so he ordered Xiao Er to prepare a meal.

Zhang Xingzi took Zhang Jinbao back to his room. Not long yet, Ye Hexiang also returned.

The men were drinking and talking in Wei Yunhai's room, and Ye Hexiang led Zhang Xingzhang Jinbao to eat in this room. Ye Hexiang talked about the matter of Liu's Mansion on Yuxian West Street, and she was envious of herself.

After each of them had their meals, Wei Yunhai was a little drunk, and after Mr. Liu returned to the room, he slept first. He Yuanqing was invited by Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to speak in their room.

Zhang Xing was afraid that a few of them would talk about it and sleep too late, which would not be conducive to tomorrow's performance, so she couldn't help but send Zhang Jinbao over to remind her, but who knew that Zhang Jinbao would never go back.

Ye Hexiang washed her face, was sitting in a small few children, facing the glass mirror, changing her hair bun and buying a new hairpin, while saying: "It's all here, why hasn't Jinbao come back?"

Zhang Xing looked at the moon outside the window, put down the needle and thread in his hand, and came to Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu's house.

It was He Yuanqing who opened the door. Zhang Xing smiled at him, and saw Zhang Jinbao sitting on a stool with two legs, eating sugar gourds, and his sleeves were stained with saliva. Zhang Xing glanced at Wei Minwu and said angrily: "Jinbao is now the time to change his teeth, why do you give him this at night?"

Wei Minwu hadn't spoken yet. He Yuanqing, who was behind Zhang Xing, spoke, "This is the ...... I gave."

Zhang Xing turned around and saw the slight redness on He Yuanqing's face, but she felt that it was not good to say anything, and after getting off the stool with Zhang Jinbao in her arms, she said to Wei Minwen with a smile: "What are you talking about? It's so late, and you haven't finished talking yet?"

He Yuanqing hurriedly said: "It's all my fault, pulling the two of them to talk, they forgot the time." ”

Wei Minwu smiled and said, "It's still early." He turned his head and pointed at Zhang Jinbao and said to Zhang Xing, "Hurry up and take it back to the room, it's all so noisy that my head is big." ”

He Yuanqing also wanted to leave, Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu couldn't keep him, so they had to send him out. He Yuanqing refused. came out after Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing led Zhang Jinbao while talking and walking. He followed in a few steps.

He Yuanqing coughed lightly, causing Zhang Xing to turn around. whispered: "Last time, thanks to your reminder, otherwise ......"

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and said, "No, no, I just said that, and I don't know if it's right?"

He Yuanqing finally waited for her to come out, and when he saw the smile on her face, he only felt his heart pounding. I didn't listen much to her.

Zhang Xing couldn't wait for He Yuanqing's reaction for half a sound, and couldn't help but say, "Young Master He......"

He Yuanqing came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "What's wrong? If it weren't for your reminder, my father's matter would have been mistaken in my hands." ”

Zhang Xing smiled, heard Zhang Jinbao yawn a lot, squatted down to pick him up, and said, "Young Master He, then let's go first." ”

He Yuanqing originally wanted to reach out to help hug Zhang Jinbao, but he hadn't spoken yet. Zhang Xing turned around, and he had to watch her enter the room, and then turned to leave.

Zhang Xing didn't leave the inn for a few days, and Zhang Jinbao stayed in the room with her for two days. I was annoyed, and I followed Ye Hexiang out of the house to go shopping.

After the five-day county examination, Zhang Xing spoke to Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu through Mr. Liu. It is expected that the two of them did not do well in the exam. For this Zhang Xing, she is not surprised, her two brothers. It's not material for learning. Although Wei Minwen was able to calm down, he was more honest. Ill-informed. Although Wei Minwu is quite smart and alert, he is only too lively to sit still at all. Let him calm down and read and write, it is almost like asking him to die.

Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu didn't take this county test seriously. Before the exam, it was rare to be serious for a few months, and as soon as the exam was over, it was like a bird that had opened its cage, putting down everything, and only calling friends to play.

Wei Yunhai didn't expect his two sons to do much to ask about college, seeing that the exam was over, he heard that he was not satisfactory in the exam, and after yelling at his two sons, he began to prepare to pack up and go home, and he didn't see much sadness and disappointment.

They were going to go back, but Ye Hexiang had to take Zhang Xingzhang Jinbao to Liu Mansion on West Street to separate with Ye Yunlan. Zhang Xingyuan didn't want to go. Wei Yunhai was beside him, listened, nodded and said, "We're leaving, it's time to tell others, what are our relatives?" ”

Wei Yunhai only regarded Ye Yunlan as Ye Hexiang's former handkerchief, thinking that the affairs of the woman's family were not easy for the old men to mix, and it was inconvenient for him to go, but he felt that Zhang Xing should still go.

Zhang Xing had to follow. The three of them waited in the gatehouse for a while, and then a servant came and led them into the yard, and when they were sent to the door of the backyard, another mother-in-law led them in. Zhang Xing was led around and around, secretly surprised in her heart. It's no wonder that Ye Yunqing can say everything in Quantang Town, this Ye Yunlan's family is indeed rich. It is said that it is a five-entry house, but the area is not small, and there are flowers and trees in the backyard.

This is Yu County, not Quantang Town, or a small place like Buhe Village, such a big house, I am afraid that it can be counted in the entire Yu County.

They were led into the backyard, but they didn't see Ye Yunlan, only a girl named Qingzhi next to her came over to talk, saying that it was unfortunate, because they didn't say a word first, Ye Yunlan went to another house as a guest. Liuye Hexiang drank a cup of tea, and asked the mother-in-law who led them in to bring them out again.

When they were out of the house, they bumped into two teenagers coming in. Ye Hexiang recognized that it was Ye Yunlan's son Liu Yi, and hurriedly went over and greeted him with a smile.

That Liu Yi was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was also born very neatly. During the flood the year before last, Ye Hexiang took her son Zhang Jinbao to live here for more than a month. He had also seen Ye Hexiang, and he knew that his mother's relatives were powerful, so he planned to leave with a perfunctory sentence, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Xing standing under the plum tree, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Ye Hexiang is used to being cheeky, and no one else can drive her away, but when I saw Ye Yunlan's son, he was actually standing and listening to her, where would he let it go?

Liu Yi is the brother of Gu Xichao, the little prince of Huaiyang Palace, and he served by his side when he was young. On that day, he was the only one who squatted under the firewood pile in the woods near the mass grave outside Huaiyang City. But at that time, Zhang Xing was wearing Wei Minwu's clothes, pretending to be a kid. Even Ye Xinchen thought of her after a while. (To be continued......)
