The Siege of Fancheng Chapter 17 Homecoming
"Zhuang Gongzi said, within ten days, you have to marry, you have to marry, you have to marry! In this village, no one can be more patient than our Zhuang Gongzi! Don't be embarrassed!" Huang Pifu pointed to the old man's nose, and the fat on his face shook as he spoke.
"But our family Xinran has already been engaged to the son, this can't be ......"
"Pinghuai?" Huang Pifu squinted, "Even that kid, dare to rob people with our Zhuang Gongzi?" he still doesn't know if he is like a slave in the Supervision Mansion, and you don't expect him to come back well." ”
"Don't speak ill of Brother Ping!" Xin Ran stepped forward and argued for Ping Huai. She doesn't like the so-called Zhuang Gongzi, and she is even more reluctant to be a plaything in his group of rouge fans.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few days, this girl is even more standard, no wonder our son-in-law likes it. Huang Pifu touched his chin, why didn't he have such a beauty as his wife, and sighed in his heart that his son-in-law's vision was unique.
"Old man, give me a reply in five days, our son's dowry will not treat you badly!" Huang Pifu said, and he was about to turn around and leave.
"I!no!marry!" Xin Ranmei glared at Huang Pifu, "If I marry that scumbag, I won't give in even if I die!"
"Xinran......" The old man panicked and wanted to block Xinran's mouth, but the words he said were like water spilled out, how could he take it back?
"Heh, I didn't expect you to have a hard mouth!" Huang Pifu turned his head, crooked his mouth and smiled ill-willedly, "Your family is just you and Lao Weng, two powerless guys, when the time comes, even if our son wants to overlord the bow, it will not be difficult." You still think about it, to be decent way, or to be hard!"
"You!"
Xin Ran didn't expect that they would come up with such a solution.
He was right, he and his grandfather depended on each other, and there was no way to resist the bullying of the village tyrant. If the son surnamed Zhuang really wanted to use tough measures, they would have no way to get out of danger.
Huang Pifu swept Xinran up and down with his eyes again, and then walked out of the broken house with a long smile and a long tune.
"What should I do...... Xin Ran could no longer hide the sadness in her eyes, she was a weak woman after all, where did she really have the momentum to compete with the village tyrant, and a stream of tears welled up.
Since Brother Ping left, this Zhuang Gongzi didn't know where to find out about her, and he came to urge her to get married every two months. At first, he still sent people to pretend to be close, but now his true form is revealed, revealing the true face of a hypocrite.
She knows that as a person surnamed Zhuang, she will not give up until she reaches her goal. This time, it may really be as he said, if she doesn't obey, she will be forced to submit!
She is a weak woman, how can she be willing to be humiliated like this!
"No, it's okay, maybe Pinghuai will be back soon......" The old man comforted, which was also the only hope for him and his granddaughter.
"However, if it is really the same as they say, Brother Pinghuai is not doing well, maybe there is no way to come back to support us?" The girl's eyes were full of sadness.
"How is that possible! I've heard that all the internal guards who work in the Supervision Mansion have status, and they have good skills. As long as Pinghuai comes back, even if he fights, he can beat these ruffians like pigs' heads. Our grandfather and grandson, we don't have to worry about being bullied by any village tyrants. ”
The old man said, confident in his heart, and his voice was a little louder.
"I hope Brother Pinghuai will come back soon......" The girl was pitiful, and her tearful eyes were as moving as twinkling stars.
......
"How many roads are there?" said a young man, and Dan Feng's eyes looked at the bottom of the mountain.
"It's not much, it's a day. An equally sassy young man next to him replied.
"Pinghuai, I'd love to see the picturesque scenery of your village. Don't let me down. Chu Jue hugged Pinghuai's neck and said with a smile.
"Naturally not. You see, in the distance, our fish pond is as blue as the sky, and there are wheat fields, which are undulating in the wind like waves. I'm not talking big, if you go to see it, you definitely don't even want to go home!" Ping Huaiyang pointed his finger, looking at the vastness of the river.
"You're going to be a fool!" Chu Jue smiled and pushed him.
A few days ago, when I heard that I could go home, I happily drank three nights of wine with the brothers of the Supervision Mansion. He used the wine to talk about the trivial things in his hometown village, and Chu Jue, who had never been to the outskirts of the village, listened to it very much, as the best brother, he naturally wanted to come back with Pinghuai without hesitation.
"But as you said, if I can fish with you in the pond, you have to teach me how to fish. Chu Jue said, "When the time comes, don't think I'm not as capable as you fishermen, think I'm stupid." ”
"How could it be, the smartest young man in our Supervision Mansion, the first master of the Inspectorate, who everyone admires and cannot reach, how can he not even master such simple skills as fishing? ”
"Heh, you guy is making fun of me again. I won't let you down, if you really can't catch a fish, even if you use stones, I can stun him dozens of them. ”
"Bragging, this fishing is not murder, people can hit it with a secret weapon in front of you, and the fish hides in the water and in the mud, and you can't see it at all. ”
"That's because you're not capable. ”
"Cut, you can try it when the time comes. ”
Once again, the two put their shoulders on their backs.
There is still a day and a night to go.
The wind blew through their bangs, and the two teenagers grabbed the reins of their horses and looked at the golden ...... on the horizon
"By the way, and your sister Xinran, you two have been separated for a long time, right?" Chu Jue asked.
"Hmm. ”
Looking at the colorful glow on the horizon, the image of the girl appeared in front of Pinghuai's eyes. In the past two years, Ran Er must have changed a little from the appearance in her heart.
......
"Old man, have you decided! Our son has sent you a dowry gift, come out and store it!" Huang Pifu shouted again. The fence, which had been repaired for a short time, was once again kicked to pieces by him.
After a long time, the firewood of the dilapidated house slowly opened, revealing an old and helpless face. The old man supported his body with a cane and slowly walked out of the dilapidated house.
"Brother Huang, didn't the old man say it, wait, wait, wait......"
"you old thing!, how can we wait any longer?" Huang Pifu didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately interrupted, "We came to ask for someone today, even if it is a bundle, we must tie Xin Ran back!" Huang Pifu shouted loudly.
"You, you can't be so unreasonable. The old man trembled.
"We are so unreasonable, what's wrong?" Huang Pifu glared at the ring, and his eyebrows showed a fierce aura, scaring the old man half to death, "Xinran is our Zhuang Gongzi's woman, do you have an old thing?"
The arrogant tone overwhelmed the old man.
"You just said, whose woman is Sister Xinran?"
A bright voice came to everyone's ears with the shallow neighing of the horse. Huang Pifu looked back and saw that two young men were sitting on horses, staring at him coldly.
"Brother Ping, you're back!" Xin Ran recognized that this was the young man she had been thinking about day and night, and now he was much stronger, his eyebrows were shining, and he was surprised in his heart.
"Heh, it turns out that your kid is back. Huang Pifu smiled contemptuously, "But it's useless for you to come back, I'll grab this person today!"
"It's up to you!" Ping Huai was furious, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes. His hand had unconsciously touched the Red Flame Sword at his waist.
Chu Jue stopped him: "This kind of country horseman, you don't need to make a move, let me give him a meeting gift." ”
Before the words fell, Chu Jue threw away the horsewhip and jumped up, before Huang Pifu could react, the sword in his hand had flashed sharply, and Mrs. Huang Pi's head was in her hand, and there was no trace of blood on the snow-colored blade.
The whole process is only between lightning and flint, and it is not even as good as the blink of an eye. Pinghuai, Xinran, and the old man, all widened their eyes in shock.
"Brother Chu...... This ......"
Ping Huai was the first to react, he never thought that Chu Jue would kill Huang Pifu, so he drew his sword himself, just to teach Huang Pifu a lesson, so as not to hurt his life.
"The evil he did was far more than just paying for a life," Chu Jue put his sword back into its sheath, "I don't know if Brother Huai remembers, this man was originally on the execution list of our Supervision Mansion." ”
Most of the people on the Inspectorate's list of executions were heinous people, and Huang Pifu used to be a powerful man in the village, but five years ago he was killed in a brawl, and no one in the village could take him into custody, which only encouraged him to commit crimes. In recent days, in addition to killing people and setting fires, they have also eaten, drunk, prostituted, gambled, and robbed money.
"But Brother Chu don't forget that he is Zhuang Gongzi's person. We're in big trouble right now. Ping said worriedly.
Only three months ago, Huang Pifu's name was erased from the list of the Inspectorate, just because he had taken refuge in the banker. This dealer is a businessman, and he has some status and fame, no one in Huicheng dares to mess with it casually, even if it is the elders in the city lord's mansion, he must let him lose face.
"Brother Huai doesn't have to worry too much, if someone comes to him, Brother Huai will say that it is Huang Pifu killed by my Chu Jue, you have never seen him today, this matter will not affect Brother Huai, let alone the old man. Chu Jue didn't have a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Brother Chu, I'm not worried that you will affect me, it's just that this matter is ......" Ping Huai was about to say something, but was stopped by the old man.
"You young people are too pushy, reckless, and don't know how to be calm. But the matter has come to this point, it is inconvenient to say more, if something really happens, my old life is not worth much, Zhuang Gongzi comes to take people, let me atone for you. As long as you take care of my granddaughter......"
"Old man, this has nothing to do with you. What's more, this person was killed by me with a sword, and it is difficult to get away with the sword marks. I don't need others to take the blame for me, I, Chu Jue, am not such a person. Chu Jue wrapped the human head in a thick cloth, and the blood no longer seeped out, so he put it in the wooden box on the side of the horse's waist. When he got up and mounted his horse, he went on a long journey.
"Where is Brother Chu going?" Ping Huai caught up.
"Sooner or later, this matter will be known by the surnamed Zhuang, and I will go this time, and I will never affect my brother. Chu Jue bowed his hand and said goodbye, "It's just that when I came to this place, I can't enjoy the beautiful scenery of this village with Brother Huai and drink happily together, it's a pity." ”
"Brother Chu, this matter still needs to be discussed. ”
"How to discuss? Since I came to you, Huang Pifu's death, when the Zhuang family heard about it, will inevitably be angry with your family. I turned myself in earlier, saying that I killed this villager halfway, so I can help you clear up the relationship. Brother Huai, farewell!" Chu Jue rode his horse and raised his whip, not listening to Pinghuai's persuasion, and the figure was far away.
