Chapter Seventy-Four: Poor Brothers

Zhou Zheng and Wen Siqi accepted the advice of Imperial Physician Shi and did not return to Jinshui Town immediately, but continued to live in the medical hall.

During this time, many people have come to visit, including Boss Fan, Brother Xiao Ma, and some Baojia Lizheng, and even Li Fenghuang has personally come to visit and presented many ginseng Ganoderma lucidum. It's that half of the characters on the official face haven't come, let alone any mansion lords, even the masters have never come.

Today, Brother Xiao Ma came to visit again and brought a number of light dishes, which were laid out on the table one by one. He was busy with his hands, but he didn't stop, boasting to himself: "This is a small stove specially opened for you by the master, cooking for the Jinshui heroes, and they are so attentive that they almost didn't fight." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, and Wen Siqi interjected first. The little girl pouted and said angrily: "What about the golden water hero, I think he is a hero with a brain in the water, and he almost didn't take his life, but he didn't get any benefit." Whenever she talked about leaving Pingjiang Mansion, she would be rejected by Zhou Zheng for various reasons, and her anger would inevitably be a little big.

"It doesn't matter, I do anything anyway, never to be sought after."

In contrast to Zhou Zheng's indifference, it was Brother Xiaoma's anger, but when he heard Siqi mention this topic, he was angry and scolded: "Hehe, do you remember that horse commander?" ”

"Horse Commander?" When this name was mentioned, Wen Siqi and Zhou Zheng reacted immediately, and the pustule tone of the pustule commander with a sweaty face naturally appeared in their minds.

"He's ready to make a career now." Brother Xiao Ma sneered twice, shook his head and said: "In the official face, no one will give you a scattered person, after all, the higher you are raised, the more incompetent they are." Therefore, most of the credit for slaying demons and demons was taken away by the pus-filled commander, anyway, the people in Pingjiang Mansion didn't know what was going on, and the black and white ones were all left to them. In the people, because the gentry and rich men of Jinshui Town were led by him to evacuate, they are now carrying sedan chairs and blowing conches for him. Heh, I really didn't expect that four or five thousand lives, Brother Zhou, you fought several times, but you made a wedding dress for that coward. ”

"All said, I'm not here for this."

"Brother Zhou, I know that you are high-spirited, but I just can't see it." Xiao Ma was even more indignant than Zhou Zheng, as if everything had happened to him. He was so excited that his face was red, and the green tendons on his neck jumped up one by one: "Why, why? We, the children of civilian families, are not as good as the official master from birth to death, why? ”

"Alas......" Zhou Zheng didn't care about himself, but he couldn't persuade others not to care, so he could only sigh on the side.

And Brother Xiao Ma obviously hadn't finished venting yet, he gritted his teeth and said: "With such a fight, we can't get ahead...... I'm not reconciled! ”

Brother Xiao Ma said before that he followed Zhou Zheng to the north of Jinshui Town to save people, in order to leave some stories to tell to his children and grandchildren in the future. Now it seems that there is no shortage of taking this opportunity to "show the true character of a hero" and seek a career for himself.

Some people may think that this idea is utilitarian, but to be honest, Zhou Zheng, who doesn't think about his own interests at all, is the biggest weirdo. Could it be that a hot-blooded young man like Brother Xiao Ma is willing to stay in Yueke for the rest of his life to be a junior, is this normal?

But it's superfluous to say anything now, this time the human blood steamed buns in Jinshui Town are like Taigong pork, and almost everyone in Pingjiang Mansion has a share. Among them, Commander Yi Ma made this front-line commander, the savior of the rich in Jinshui Town, the most profitable, and became the final winner of the Chinese New Year's Eve Killing Feast lottery.

On the contrary, people like Zhou Zheng and Xiao Ma Ge who really made a difference, like the chef of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, can only work behind the scenes, and are not qualified to serve the table, and when the soup is finished, they should roll out of the Red House to find their mothers.

Zhou Zheng knew that Brother Xiao Ma was uncomfortable, so he stepped forward, pulled him to his seat, and said, "Don't think about those who don't have it, let's celebrate with tea instead of wine." ”

"Celebrate what?"

"The brothers are here."

When Brother Xiao Ma heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned red, and he asked a little incredulously: "Brother Zhou, do you really think I am a brother?" ”

Zhou Zheng laughed twice and poured tea for Brother Xiaoma. Then, he put several dishes into the bowl and handed them to Wen Siqi, who was still in bed. When all this was done, he returned to his seat and said sincerely: "What does it mean that when you are a brother, you are originally my brother." ”

Brother Xiao Ma was silent for a long time, and then he was a little choked: "I'm just a restaurant junior, you ...... You are a hero of the world, and there is no one in the entire town of Jinshui who does not know your name. I also know in my own heart, if I hadn't known you early, how could I be qualified to sit and eat with you? Who is qualified to waste your time and let you listen to me complain about these trivialities? ”

"You also said that we knew each other early." Zhou Zheng raised his cup, took the initiative to touch the cup with Brother Xiaoma, drank it all, and said: "Think about the things in the store at that time, it was you who took the trouble to teach me. Later, I was injured, and you were the one who rode a horse back and forth for dozens of miles, and it was you who went to ask me for a doctor. What was I at that time? It's just a wanderer who doesn't know where the road ahead is, but you don't say it the same, everyone is a brother, remember to open up if you have trouble. I have a good memory, how could I be wrong. ”

"That's different, I ...... back then"

Brother Xiao Ma wanted to say that it was because he was just a junior second, and he was also a person with no identity, but he was stopped by Zhou Zheng waving his hand.

"Could it be that in your eyes, Brother Xiaoma, I, Zhou someone, am a 'rich wife, noble and easy friend'?" Zhou Zheng said, pointing to the coarse cloth clothes on his body, and then to the surrounding environment, and said with a smile: "Besides, I'm not rich or expensive, I'm just that wanderer." ”

Zhou Zheng said easily, but Brother Xiao Ma dared to pick up, quickly shook his head, and said: "How can I think so, if I don't say anything else, just on Chinese New Year's Eve, if you are willing to go north to save people, I will obey you." Whoever dares to say a bad word about you, I can't spare him first! ”

"So, we're brothers!"

"Yes, we are brothers!"

Feeling the sincerity of Zhou Zheng's words, Brother Xiao Ma only felt that his nose was sour, where would he talk about destroying the atmosphere, picked up the wine glass, and drank a cup of tea.

This situation can be described as touching, but unfortunately it was ruined by Wen Siqi's "hehe" laughter.

"This ......"

Brother Xiao Ma thought that Wen Siqi had an opinion of him, and was laughing at him for climbing the dragon and attaching him, and his face became ugly. Wen Siqi's mind was exquisite, and at a glance, she knew that she was in trouble, so she hurriedly pretended to be naΓ―ve, and said: "Why are you two big men talking so disgusting, can you let me go, a seriously injured person?" ”

"Ahem!" Zhou Zhengfang was just lowering his head to pick up vegetables, and he didn't see the change in Xiao Ma's expression, so naturally he didn't know that Wen Siqi was resolving the embarrassment, and thought that she was really disgusting, so she choked at once.

And Brother Xiao Ma saw that Wen Siqi acted realistically and said it innocently, and he didn't doubt him, but Wen Siqi really thought that the two men were too tired and crooked. In this way, his face looked better, but another kind of embarrassment rose......

Of the three people present, only Wen Siqi knew what he was laughing for.

In his previous life, Zhou Zheng was nicknamed "Bitter Confucian", just from this nickname, everyone can basically imagine what kind of character he is - cold, salty, and bitter, like an iceberg frozen by seawater.

Until Wen Siqi was reborn, Zhou Zheng lived to be in his thirties, and because he didn't like to talk and had a stubborn temper, he didn't have many friends. Although he had a very strong relationship with the only friends he had, he could count them on one hand.

And this time, seeing that Zhou Zheng actually became clever and eloquent, he turned others into his best friend in a few words...... This kind of scene is a bit magical for Wen Siqi, a reborn being. It's like someone who was reborn back in 2008, only to find out that Guan Xi not only didn't like to take pictures, but was also an abstinent Christian before marriage, how amazing is this...... No wonder she laughs.

However, although he relied on Wen Siqi's acting skills, he finally resolved the embarrassment of that smile. But because she talked about the topic of the same sex in front of two straight men, the atmosphere present was still very solid and silent.

Fortunately, this time there was no need for Wen Siqi to resolve it, because only a "Ziga" sound was heard, and someone pushed the door without authorization and entered the room.

The three people present naturally raised their heads and looked towards the door, only to see that the person who came was tall and fat, with a face of oil and sweat - who could it be if it wasn't the horse commander?
