Chapter 25: Among the Mountain Bandits
Leng Feng walked on the field path of Jiangjun Village, looking at the lush crops growing in the fields, meandering to the river in the distance, and did not know where it flowed. Leng Feng, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally come back to life: "This is the life of a person!"
Zhan Mei bowed a handful of water and frolicked for a while, accidentally got the water on her body, Zhan Mei hurriedly took a step back, Leng Feng, who heard the movement, subconsciously raised her eyes, the mountains were green and the grass was green, Mei'er's long black hair fluttered in the breeze, Mei'er's slender shoulders were straight in the breeze, no matter how heavy the burden of the years was, Mei'er's thin backbone could not be bent. But thinking about it, it seems that Mei'er is like this no matter what, Leng Feng looked at Zhanmei's back and suddenly felt a palpitation.
Leng Feng hurriedly looked away in fright, and thought in disgust: "What's the matter, Mei'er is obviously so ugly, and it is seriously not in line with her pursuit of the other half, 'It must be because the scenery here and now is too beautiful, and I haven't seen a woman for a long time, so this hallucination will appear in my heart, well, Leng Feng nodded again and again and thought of it affirmatively", and walked a few steps away from Zhanmei before relieving his heart.
Leng Feng was on the side, looking at the gurgling stream in a daze, and for a while only the sound of Zhanmei playing in the water was left on the field: "Leng Feng, can you tell me what it looks like outside?" Zhan Mei suddenly spoke up and broke the silence.
"What? You're saying it again, I didn't hear it clearly", Leng Feng was out of his mind as if he heard what Mei'er said to himself, and repeated it with a stupid face.
"I said can you describe the outside scenery for me, spring is coming to an end, but I can't feel the splendor of spring at all, I haven't seen the outside world for a long time", Zhan Mei sighed with a depressed expression, Leng Feng rarely saw such a Zhan Mei, and he was generous for a while.
Outside! Outside, it was late spring, and the flowers had withered, and the branches of the trees were lush and green, like dyed and woven cloth.
"The dyed and woven cloth, this metaphor is really ugly", can you choose a better language to depict, Zhan Mei is dissatisfied.
"Ben Gongzi doesn't read much, and he can't describe the color you want, so I'll just do it!"
"No, you have to depict it in a different way, it's too ugly just now" Zhan Mei was reluctant to compromise, and categorically rejected Leng Feng's words.
"Then what color do you think is appropriate, you say!" Leng Feng felt extremely satisfied with himself, he expected that Zhan Mei would actually pick a bone in the egg, and Leng Feng was almost in no mood to continue talking.
"How do I know, this girl can't see it, anyway, you have to say something fascinating", Zhan Mei laughed scoundrelly.
Leng Feng pushed Zhan Mei angrily, Zhan Mei rarely did not fight back, Leng Feng cleared his throat with satisfaction when he saw this: "General Village!" It is a very beautiful village, looking at a piece of greenery, it is really the so-called "village in the forest, the house in the green, and the people in the painting" beautiful".
"Yo he, don't be impressed for three days! Leng Feng, I didn't expect you to use such beautiful sentences in just a few days, and 'the village is in the forest, the house is in the green, and the people are in the painting' is so elegant, Zhan Mei looked at Leng Feng with a look of surprise.
Leng Feng looked like a stinky fart when he heard this, his tail was about to rise to the sky, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles: "Hmph, you are a dog looking down on people, this son is a man with a lot of connotation, ordinary people, especially a vulgar woman like you, will not appreciate it."
"Really? Leng Gongzi" Zhan Mei stretched out the end of the note, Leng Feng heard that he knew that he had played too much, so he hurriedly restrained his behavior, and then continued: "The houses in the village are neat, but unfortunately most of them were burned into ruins. Towering mountain peaks, rolling mountains, and beautiful pastoral scenery in the near future can truly be described as a paradise. β
"It's so beautiful", imagining the general village described in Leng Feng's words, Zhan Mei thought of beautiful scenes, and she really envied these people living in the general village.
What's the use of beauty! Leng Feng let out a long sigh, and Zhan Mei immediately understood the reason for Leng Feng's words.
"Eh, when did our cold-hearted and cold-hearted Leng eldest son become so sentimental, is it a ghost possessed", Zhan Mei laughed at Leng Feng teasingly, trying to comfort Leng Feng.
"I'm not a cold-hearted person, of course I will empathize with innocent people when they are hurt," Leng Feng sighed as he looked at the young boy who was catching river fish in the river. The children are playing and playing, so it's not lively.
"Hey, what a bunch of children who don't know how to worry."
In the crystal clear stream, there is a fish the size of a tail, and the clear stream watermark makes the fish particularly smart and vivid. The fields are full of wheat seedlings, lush and full of life.
"Eh, such a kind Leng Gongzi, is it really the evil gentleman that the little woman knows? That's a big difference, isn't it? said, is it a ghost possessed", Zhan Mei laughed at Leng Feng while pretending to be scared and clenching her hands, trembling all over.
Looking at Zhanmei's exaggerated appearance, Leng Feng looked disdainful, and secretly thought: "Is this really the cold goddess I knew before?" This is obviously a female nerve, okay! It's really an indescribable vicissitudes of life. β
"Hmph, your expression is too exaggerated, this son said that he was hurt by 10,000 points", in addition, this son wants to be possessed by a ghost, so the first one to clean up is the evil girl who likes to bully people the most on weekdays, you just cry! Leng Feng joked when he heard Zhanmei's teasing.
The two played for a while and then walked to Old Man Hao's house: "Mei'er, did you say Old Man Hao is coming back now?" Leng Feng, who was walking on the road, asked with some concern.
"I don't know, what's the hurry? Go back and take a look, you will know", Zhan Mei's words left Leng Feng speechless, Leng Feng hugged the little wolf cub and followed Zhan Mei back with her fart.
Since the last time Hao Fengshou was angry with Zhanmei and them, Leng Feng privately called Hao Fengshou "Old Man Hao", and now the relationship is more tense, Leng Feng doesn't know why Zhanmei hasn't left, the two are cheeky and keep the general village, I don't know why Old Man Hao didn't take the initiative to drive people, seeing this Leng Feng has to live a small life, this day eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and when you are bored, you tease the little wolf cub, don't want a comfortable little day.
"Pedaling" Hao Jie heard the sound of low footsteps behind him, hurriedly dodged and stepped out of the way, and looked up at his father holding a large stack of old clothes with a depressed expression.
"Dad, what are you?" Hao Jie was a little worried when he saw his father's abnormal behavior.
"This is your mother's favorite clothes to wear on weekdays, and now that she is at the bottom, my father is afraid that she will not be used to wearing new clothes, so he is going to burn these old clothes to her."
Hearing his father's babbling words, Hao Jie was unhappy in his heart but didn't want to entangle these issues with his father, lest his father be unhappy and depressed, after all, his body was injured and he had not completely healed.
"I don't know if your mother is suitable for going underground, your mother has always been afraid of pain, and now she is not taking care of her for her father, and I don't know if she is afraid or not, and she is not used to it", Hao Fengshou kept babbling.
"Father, you have a good day! People can't be resurrected after death, and they are too sad and sad", Hao Jie has always been unhappy with his stepmother, and now he is very impatient to hear that his father is here endlessly.
Hao Jie didn't know how to comfort his father, and he was not in the mood to comfort him, he had always been at odds with this stepmother, and now that she was dead, looking at his father's sad appearance, although Hao Jie had some sympathy, he secretly felt a sense of happiness in his heart.
"I don't know if the people at the bottom are bullying her? Your mother is so weak and kind," Hao Fengshou was free in his spare heart.
"That woman is so powerful, who dares to mess with her", Hao Jie impatiently comforted his father.
"What do you call that woman, you read all the books to the dog's belly", Hao Fengshou was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and the wrinkles on his brows were like undulating mountains, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Hao Jie's nose and scolded.
was scolded by his father, Hao Jie was not angry, stepped forward to help his father's swaying body, and comforted him with kind words: "It's all sons, father, don't worry about it, and recuperate with peace of mind!" Is it okay for the son to avoid the three branches of that woman in the future? β
Seeing that his son was flattering himself with a careless face, Hao Fengshou's mood was also smooth.
Hao Jie helped his father to walk into the house, and he also scolded himself: "Father, take care of your injuries!" After a few days, when you are better, you will leave here with your son and never come back."
"Where are you going if you don't come back?" Hearing this, Hao Fengshou's face collapsed, and he asked in a rough voice.
"Of course, I went to the city to live with my son, and never went back to this poor country", Hao Jie didn't care about his father's emotions, he imagined the future by himself, and his tone was full of disgust for the village from childhood to adulthood.
"Let's go! I won't leave here if I die for my father", Hao Fengshou heard his son's words that he had no conscience, angrily put aside his son's hand, frowned and scolded 'unfilial son'.
Hao Fengshou kept scolding angrily, venting all the dissatisfaction in his heart to Hao Jie.
"Your mother is here, and your father is not going anywhere, so you can go by yourself!" , Hao Fengshou announced the conclusion of the coffin.
Hao Jie heard his father's scolding, buried his head in deafness, and later heard his father's scolding more and more outrageous, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't care about his father's injury, venting the anger in his heart.
"Mother, the mother of which family? I don't have such a good fortune for that wild woman", as long as the father and son touch this problem for so many years, they will quarrel.
Hao Jie has never been able to let go of his mother's death, and Hao Jie has been tormented in his heart for more than ten years, which is an indescribable and difficult to heal wound.
"You unfilial son" Hao Fengshou went up and slapped him, and Hao Jie's face was distorted.
Touching his faintly aching cheeks, Hao Jie stalked his neck and laughed angrily: "Mother, you are embarrassed to mention the words mother, my mother was already angry to death by the two of you adulterers twenty years ago, pity me where do I have a mother, you don't compare that kind of dirty woman with my mother", Hao Jie vented his inner pain without words.
"You...... You" Hao Fengshou heard his son's words, he was so angry that he trembled, raised his hand and wanted to slap this unfilial son twice, but he was so frightened by the hatred in his son's eyes that he stopped, and his hand was raised in the air and couldn't go up or down.
"Hit! Why don't you fight, if you have the ability, you can kill me today", Hao Jie looked at his father with tears and a stubborn face, and when he heard his son's words, Hao Fengshou stood unsteadily and took a few steps back, picked up the clothes on the ground and walked away silently, his thin back was lonely.
Hao Jie looked at his father who was staggering away through the low fence, his heart was full of mixed tastes, and the warm sun shone on the people who were drowsy, dyeing a layer of golden light on the lush countryside around him, and Hao Jie's gloomy face The sun could not dispel the haze in Hao Jie's heart.
The night is approaching and the village is slowly quiet, the evening breeze blows on the cheeks and the weak Hao Fengshou subconsciously wraps the clothes on his body, since the death of his wife, Hao Fengshou feels that the feeling of fullness in the past has all disappeared, and now there is only an empty body left in the home.
The fields were full of greenery, Hao Fengshou leaned on the tombstone with his eyes closed, his face was tired, and he didn't know how long it took before he slowly opened his closed eyes: "Wife, why are you so cruel, leaving your husband alone, and leaving your husband alone in this world has no fun at all."
The big fan-like hands gently caressed the tombstone, and the big hands covered with calluses were as rough as tree bark back and forth.
"I used to always quarrel with you, blaming you for not teaching Jie'er well, it's all your husband's fault, I know that Jie'er has always disliked you, and I still force you to please him, it's all bad for your husband", Hua Niang, will you forgive your husband?
Since the death of his wife, Hao Fengshou has understood what it means to "not see each other for a day, and mourn is greater than the death of the heart", Hao Fengshou lay on the tombstone and cried sadly, who said that men don't cry, but they haven't reached the sad place.
Listening to his father's grief-stricken cry, Hao Jie's heart was sour and angry, thinking that when his mother died, he didn't shed a single tear, which can be described as extremely cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and now that this stinky woman is dead, she looks like she can't wait to follow her infatuation, the more Hao Jie thinks about it, the more worthless he is for his mother.
Memories of the past slowly appeared in front of Hao Jie's eyes like fragments, all the misfortunes he suffered in the past were caused by this damn woman, now that she is dead, let everything disappear! Suddenly, the fragments in Hao Jie's mind suddenly exploded like firelight, leaving no ripples.
Hao Jie's bottomless eyes flashed with a smile, and he turned around and left without hesitation.
"My wife is my husband, and the most sorry person in this life is you! If you have a next life, you must treat you well as a husband in the next life, and I will not let you suffer a little." Hao Fengshou didn't know what to think of, and smiled happily: "Wife, do you know!" In fact, when my husband saw you for the first time, he already had a deep love for you......", Hao Fengshou babbled about the past, and the surroundings were already dark.
"It's a pity that the creation makes people, the husband still failed you, married Jie'er's mother, although we were still together later, it's a pity that the darkness of the past made you and I have been haunted, you have never forgiven the husband, but it doesn't matter, when the husband avenges you, I will go underground to find you, and start over with you, you must wait for the husband", Hao Fengshou figured everything out, felt that his heart was transparent, the evening breeze was whistling, Hao Fengshou, who was already cold and stiff, slowly climbed up from the ground with both hands on the tombstone, Looking at the tombstone in the darkness with wide eyes: "Wife, don't worry, those thieves will not let go of any of them for their husbands, and they will not let go of any of them", the murderous and gloomy nights in his tone are intertwined and mixed, like a demon crawling out of hell who chooses people to eat.
The open fields were flourishing on the hills, the grass was green, the little wooden bridge crossed the river, connected to the river, the breeze blew, and the wilderness was dead silent, except for the sound of shuffling footsteps in the wilderness.
In the dark night, there was a hazy candlelight in front of him, Hao Fengshou looked at the candlelight sent out by his house, and his heart was sad and abnormal, looking from afar, his son stood under the big tree with his hands in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, Hao Fengshou subconsciously accelerated the pace of his feet.
"Senior Hao, you're finally back!" Leng Feng held his chin and counted the sand under his feet boringly, heard the footsteps in his ears, subconsciously raised his head, and saw that it was Old Man Hao who came back, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Saying that Old Man Hao's son is really scary, as soon as Leng Feng saw his bottomless eyes, he felt that his back was cold, and he didn't dare to talk to him, it was really a mobile killer with its own shielding function. Mei'er has rarely shown her face in front of outsiders since she scared people that day, and Leng Feng really felt tired to stay alone with this cold-faced killing god.
"Hmm" Hao Fengshou nodded ignorantly and walked towards the house.
Leng Feng didn't think so, he had long been accustomed to it, Leng Feng looked at Hao Fengshou with a smile: "Senior Hao, the meal is ready, eat some food first and then go to rest!" You haven't eaten for a day."
"Okay!" Hao Fengshou retracted his feet that had stepped into the room, turned around and walked towards the hall, hearing Old Man Hao's words, Leng Feng couldn't wait to slap himself, it's really nosy, let you be nosy, ah, ah, Leng Feng shouted silently.
"But a few days ago, Old Man Hao directly refused, what's wrong today?" Leng Feng looked at Old Man Hao's back in confusion.
Whatever! Touching his head, Leng Feng resigned himself to his fate and walked towards the hall.
"Kick ......" Hearing the footsteps outside, Zhan Mei put down the little wolf cub in her hand and sat down solemnly. The little wolf cub was suddenly put on the cold ground from the warm arms, very uncomfortable, and crawled on Zhanmei's body one by one, making a fuss, and was slapped by Zhanmei, and was pitifully lying at Zhanmei's feet and choking.
"Mei'er can eat", Leng Feng looked listless, and Zhan Mei nodded knowingly.
Several people sat around the table, and everyone at the table did not say a word, and the quiet pin drop could be heard.
Hao Fengshou took two bites of a handful of vegetables, glanced at Leng Feng, who was gobbling up, and frowned.
Leng Feng Hulala gulped the rice, which was particularly eye-catching in the quiet space, and when he heard the sound of Leng Feng slugging soup, Hao Jie frowned again and again.
"Bang" Hao Jie couldn't bear it anymore and put the bowl on the table heavily, got up and left.
The two of them waited, and when Zhan Mei stood up and was about to leave, Old Man Hao, who had been silent, suddenly stopped Zhan Mei with a voice.
"I wonder what's going on with the old man?" Hearing Old Man Hao's words, the corners of Zhan Mei's mouth, who were standing with her back to her, twitched, and she was a little nervous in her heart: "It's finally here."
"The old man has something to inquire about, and I ask my wife to solve my doubts", Hao Fengshou's tone was calm, and when he heard Old Man Hao's words, he looked at Old Man Hao's face and felt a sudden burst in his heart: "Shouldn't it be exposed!" Strange where the horse's feet are exposed? βγ
"I wonder what's going on with the old man?" Zhan Mei hugged the little wolf cub and sat back in place, and nodded with satisfaction when she saw that the other party cooperated with Hao Fengshou.
"Leng Gongzi, I don't know if you have ever been to Dayue?"
"Otsuki? No, we haven't heard of Da Yue", Leng Feng heard Old Man Hao's words, and blurted out the words without passing through his brain, making him even more eager to cover up.
Zhan Mei frowned when she heard Leng Feng's words, but did not make a sound.
Leng Feng turned against the guest and asked, "Why did the old man say this?" β
"Haha...... The old man had been to Otsuki when he was young, and today I think the dishes you cook have a bit of the flavor of Otsuki, so I asked curiously, it's okay. β
"Oh, I see", Leng Feng had such an expression on his face, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal.
"The old man is not mistaken, the dishes under this day are probably inseparable from "frying, cooking, frying, boiling, stewing, pickling and marinating sauce, stir-baking and steaming", maybe the old man is wrong, and it is understandable that people are old and misremembered, but the old man still don't talk about it, after all, this is not good for the younger generations.
Leng Feng not only secretly applauded Zhan Mei in his heart: "Sure enough, Mei'er is amazing."
"Really?" Hearing the rebuttal of the mysterious woman, Hao Fengshou dragged out the end of the note in a strange way.
Leng Feng saw that Old Man Hao and Zhan Mei didn't speak, thinking that this matter was over, and he was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere with a smile on his face.
"Dayue's spies, what are you doing in the country?" Suddenly, Old Man Hao shouted loudly, and the sound was like thunder, and Leng Feng was frightened.
"Hao's seniors and juniors are just passing through your place, not some spies, don't talk nonsense!" Leng Feng explained with both hands and feet, Hao Fengshou looked at it with one look, and Leng Feng looked flustered and avoided the other party's inquiring eyes.
"Oh, that's it! It's okay to take your identity document to the old man for a look, this kind of thing is still more assured that seeing is believing", Hao Fengshou doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, but he won't let the other party go because of the other party's words, and Hao Fengshou saw that the young man looked flustered, and he had already stored his own guess in his heart.
"That...... That, the identity document was accidentally lost on the road, what should I do if I don't have it? Leng Feng thought of an unreliable reason, and looked like a scoundrel.
"Hmph, do you think the old man will believe it!" Hao Fengshou blushed with a face.
"Senior Hao" Leng Feng is preparing to continue to mess around.
"Okay, what do you want to do?" Zhan Mei looked at Hao Fengshou indifferently, and she didn't look like she had been caught at all.
"If you want the old man not to report you, then you have to do something for the old man", Hao Fengshou finally said his purpose.
"Oh, what if the juniors don't agree with the seniors?" Zhan Mei didn't take the other party's threat to heart at all.
"How? Hum the prison of the country welcomes you", Hao Fengshou said threateningly.
"Then what do the seniors want the juniors to do?" Zhan Mei pretended to be frightened, and her words were frightened.
"The old man sees that you are strong in martial arts, and I want to ask you to help the old man and go up the mountain to kill the bandits and avenge his wife", Hao Fengshou looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, and his eyes surged with bitter hatred.
"The old people are too high to look down on the younger generations! There are many people on the other side, how can we be the opponent of the mountain bandits", hearing Old Man Hao's unreasonable request, Zhan Mei refused without even thinking about it: "Joking that I finally escaped, although I am blind now, I am still alive, as long as I am alive, everything is possible."
"You ..... you" Hao Fengshou didn't expect the other party to dare to refuse him.
Since you don't eat the toast, then eat the penalty bar! Ignorant of good things, Hao Fengshou threatened with a gloomy face: "If you two don't do what the old man asks, the old man will report you to the government, and you will be killed at that time."
"Really? Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, the younger generation is willing to be arrested by the government, at least the death is not too painful, seniors, please! "Zhanmei is not afraid of the other party's threats, Zhanmei, who has always eaten soft and not hard, has been angry with Old Man Hao and has no temper, how can there be such a naΓ―ve old man, he has really lived so old in vain.
"Okay, good", Hao Fengshou pointed at Zhan Mei and said hello a few times, and rushed towards Zhan Mei with a dagger, it seemed that he was going to die with Zhan Mei.
"Mei'er", Leng Feng exclaimed, his face turned pale with fright, and in a blink of an eye, Old Man Hao rushed to Zhanmei.
"If you dare to take a step forward, this girl will definitely splash the old man's blood on the spot today", Zhan Mei thought secretly as she listened to the movement in the wind.
"Mrs. Leng, the old man begs you!" Old man Hao landed on his knees, knelt on the ground and cried with tears, holding the dagger in both hands and pressing his neck, looking at Zhanmei with tears in his eyes: "Mrs. Leng, you can do it!" The old man knows that you have this ability, so you can help me! The old man really has no other way."
What's going on? Zhan Mei and Leng Feng are both monks who are two zhang and are confused, this style of painting must have changed too quickly!
"Why do the old people bother to practice themselves like this, it's not that the juniors don't help, it's really this matter, the juniors are really powerless", Zhanmei said high-sounding words, comforting the other party without pain, unmoved.
However, this matter obviously has nothing to do with him, there is no need to provoke him, after all, the position of this group of mountain bandits is sensitive and abnormal, if he accidentally provokes a big basket, he will be a scapegoat at that time, and he doesn't know how to die, so Zhanmei will not do this obviously thankless drudgery.
"Get up, old man! We really can't do anything about this matter, if the younger generation has this ability, why won't they help you, you are kind to us, and you have to help you in a reasonable way, but there is really nothing we can do about this matter", Leng Feng played an official tone and never agreed.
Zhan Mei and Leng Feng sang and had an incomparably tacit understanding, listening to the rejection of the two of them leaving no room for improvement, Hao Fengshou was disappointed in his heart, and his face was gray and muttered to himself: "Is there really no way?" β
Zhan Mei and Leng Feng were silent when they heard Hao Fengshou's whisper, and the silence in the hall was a little terrifying for a while.
"Mrs. Leng, you can do it, promise the old man!" Suddenly, Hao Fengshou roared hoarsely, and the strength of holding the dagger became stronger and stronger, and there were blood marks on his neck, and bright red blood flowed down his neck to the placket, and his chest was dyed a large patch red, which was shocking to watch, it can be seen that Hao Fengshou is really determined to destroy the bandits and avenge his wife.
"Mei'er, just think about it! His neck is bleeding, it's so pitiful", Leng Feng wiped his tears of emotion, seeing that Hao Fengshou was in a crazy state, he couldn't help but abandon his previous suspicions and beg for the other party.
Zhan Mei was unmoved when she heard this, and looked at the void in a daze, obviously in her fugue.
"Senior Hao, get up quickly! Don't hurt yourself, she won't agree to you if she's cold-hearted, so don't waste your time", Leng Feng comforted bitterly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree today, tomorrow, the old man can't kneel here until Mrs. Zun agrees."
"This", Leng Feng looked at Zhan Mei with an indifferent expression, and a deep anger rose in his heart.
"Actually, it's not impossible to do this", suddenly a hoarse voice sounded in the empty hall, and when I heard Hao Fengshou's ears, the harsh voice of the past was like a heavenly sound at this moment.
"Mei'er", Leng Feng looked at Zhan Mei in surprise, with a look of disbelief.
"What's the solution?" Hao Fengshou excitedly grabbed Zhanmei's hand tightly, and was suddenly dodged by Zhanmei, Hao Fengshou saw this and understood that he was abrupt, and looked at Zhanmei with earnest eyes.
"But this matter can't be done by a few of us, and we still need Ling Lang's help."
"Dogs?" Hao Fengshou looked at Zhanmei with a puzzled expression, and really didn't know what this matter had to do with his son.
"Of course it matters", Zhan Mei snorted coldly: "I don't know how long Hao Gongzi will listen outside?" It's deeper and heavier on the outside, so it's better to come inside! Zhan Mei's empty eyes looked in the direction of the door, and her words were amazing.
"Someone out there?" Leng Feng asked in hindsight.
"Jie'er?" Hao Fengshou was shocked when he heard Zhan Mei's words, obviously not believing it.
"The girl is really not an ordinary person, I thought it was seamless to hide, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by you", Hao Jie pushed open the door and walked in with a frank face, looking at the father who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, his eyes flashed but he didn't make a sound.
"Jie'er, you ......"
"Dad" Hao Jie's tone was calm, which made Hao Fengshou inexplicably a little ashamed, looking at his son with disdain in his eyes. His image in his son's heart was shattered.
"Ling Lang is not much better than Hao's predecessors!" Zhan Mei laughed weirdly.
"Hmph" Hao Fengshou snorted coldly and buried his head without saying a word.
Hao Jie glanced at his father, looked at his father with an indifferent expression, and then turned around and shouted, "Who are you?" What are the intentions of coming here, and I still don't confess it."
Hao Jie's dark pupils were bottomless, like a bottomless black hole that made people fall into the abyss, cold to the bone, Leng Feng was dripping with cold sweat under Hao Jie's gaze, and looked away evasively.
Seeing this, Hao pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "Useless things"
"What a person! What's the big deal", Leng Feng was so angry by the other party's blunt disdain that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas went out of his body, but he only dared to vent secretly in his heart, after so many years, Leng Feng finally understood that there was something called "aura".
"Just a passer-by! Childe thinks about it a lot", Zhanmei is not stage frightened, and she is not humble in the face of Hao Jie's aggressiveness, and her face is not shocked.
"Passerby, the girl thinks that this will be believed", Hao Jie saw that the other party was unmoved, and there was a trace of appreciation in his heart.
"Senior Hao, if you need our couple's help in this matter, then convince Ling Gongzi first!" Zhan Mei did not fight head-on in the face of Hao Jie's aggressiveness, but instead changed the topic to Hao Fengshou, who was sitting next to him.
"What does this have to do with the dog? Mrs. Leng, can you make it clearer", hearing Zhan Mei's words, Hao Fengshou frowned, looking puzzled.
"I heard that your son is in charge of all personnel in Qizhou City, so you must know Lord Zhoumu", Zhan Mei looked at Hao Jie and said in a positive tone, as for whether the relationship is good or not, it is not a question that Zhan Mei should consider.
"Yes and what? What does this have to do with our killing bandits, the low status of dogs does not play a role."
"Whether it's useful or not is not something that can be guessed out of thin air, how can you know it's useless if you don't give it a try", Zhan Mei smiled when she heard Old Man Hao's words, and her deep voice was like the sound of sand rubbing, which was abhorrent in vain.
Hao Jie stood aside and looked at Zhan Mei with a sneer: "This woman takes herself too seriously!" I didn't say I wanted to help, so let her make trouble! Let's see how she ends", Hao Jie thought with a look of watching the play.
"But why should the state shepherd help the dog, the dog doesn't have that much ability", although Hao Fengshou wants to avenge his wife very much, but some things still have to be self-aware.
This matter can only be solved by the government, and it can't be done with a few of us", Zhan Mei stared at Hao Jie with an unclear meaning: "But it's one thing to help or not, and it's another thing to agree or not, Senior Hao still persuaded Ling Gongzi first!" β
"This" Hao Fengshou looked at his son with a look of embarrassment, not sure if his son would agree, looking at his son who acted as a pillar, he couldn't open his mouth when the words came to his mouth.
"Don't say it, I won't agree to this matter", Hao Jie saw his father looking at him with hesitation and expectation, and bluntly rejected his father's whimsical idea.
"Is there any other way for Madame Leng? This method really doesn't work", Hao Fengshou was ruthlessly rejected by his son, and looked back at Zhanmei helplessly.
"Hao's senior's relationship with Ling Lang is not in place, he can't convince Ling Lang, and the younger generation is helpless", Zhanmei's words made the hope in Hao Fengshou's eyes dissipate little by little.
"There is no help from the son of Ling in this matter, and the juniors can't do anything, the seniors want to go to the government to report it, and we will all listen to it", Zhan Mei threw down the cruel words and glanced at Leng Feng, and the two of them walked outside together. Leaving Hao Fengshou and his son looking at each other in the hall.
"This woman is really a little different, and the women I have met in the past are simply not the same breed", looking at Zhanmei's distant back, Hao Jie touched his chin with interest.
"Mei'er, let's go for the best policy!" Leng Feng is now in his heart, Leng Feng has always been timid and afraid of things, but now he is even more frightened.
"What to go? Wasn't you very manly before? Why is this cowardly", Zhan Mei listened to the panic in Leng Feng's tone with a look of disdain.
"Wasn't that because Old Man Hao was so pitiful! You also know that my son has always been kind-hearted and can't see people suffer", Leng Feng argued curtly.
"Our identity documents haven't been dealt with well, do you want to live in this barren mountain and wilderness for the rest of your life and not go back to Dayue?"
"Back to Otsuki? How to get back? Hearing Zhan Mei's words, Leng Feng trembled with excitement.
"How to go back, of course it's going back" Zhan Mei glanced at Leng Feng with hatred that iron is not steel.
Although Leng Feng knew that Zhan Mei was blind and couldn't see anything, Leng Feng could always read a stream of contempt from Zhan Mei's empty eyes, which was too hurtful, which made Leng Feng feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
"This opportunity is rare, we must not miss it, if we miss this time, I don't know when we can get the identity document and return to Dayue", Zhan Mei sighed and looked depressed.
"Hey" looked at Zhan Mei Leng Feng and sighed, there is no day to worry about.
The quiet atmosphere of "Tuk Tuk" was suddenly broken by a rhythmic knock on the door, Leng Feng quickly stepped forward to open the door, and looked at the two fathers and sons standing at the door.
"It's so late, I wonder what else is going on with the two of you?" Leng Feng looked impatient, before Hao Fengshou could speak, Leng Feng made a gesture to close the door, and suddenly stretched out a long sword obliquely against the door, Leng Feng saw that it was Hao Jie's cold face, and hurriedly shrank to the side, and for a while the door was pushed open, and the slightly cold night breeze poured into the house.
"Leng Gongzi doesn't know if it will disturb your husband and wife's rest now, the old man didn't mean it, the situation is really urgent, and the situation has to be a last resort", Hao Fengshou looked into the house vigorously, Leng Feng blocked the door and roared: "Aren't you talking nonsense!" Lonely men and widows are in the same room in the middle of the night, you don't mean anything! β
"Let them in!" Leng Feng heard Zhanmei's voice, glared at the two of them and reluctantly got out of the way.
"It's really embarrassing that Mrs. Leng came to disturb your husband and wife's rest so late, but this matter is very important to the old man, so ......"
"The mood of the seniors understands the juniors, please take a seat", Zhan Mei saw Hao Fengshou coming to her in the middle of the night, knowing that the time was ripe.
"Senior and Ling Gongzi have discussed?" Zhan Mei cut straight to the topic, not beating around the bush at all, Hao Fengshou didn't expect the other party to ask this as soon as he came, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, and his expression was extremely unnatural.
"Mrs. Leng, what should you do, the dog will definitely cooperate with you", Hao Fengshou patted his chest and abdomen and promised.
"Really?" Zhan Mei looked at Hao Jie who was standing quietly on the side with empty eyes.
"Say it! What are your qualifications? Hao Jie raised his eyebrows, and his tone was cold.
"Gongzi is Gongcao in Qizhou City, so it should be no problem for our husband and wife to ask Master Gongcao to help get two identity documents!" Zhan Mei finally said what she wanted.
"Hmph, the fox's tail is finally exposed", Hao Jie frowned when he heard Zhanmei's words, and the sword in his hand was always ready to burst out and hurt people.
"Master Gong Cao doesn't have to be nervous, our husband and wife really don't have any bad intentions, as long as you can help our husband and wife tide over the difficulties, you will do your best to hold the great grace."
"Really? What do you repay for being poor and vain? Listening to Zhanmei's words, Hao Jie looked disdainful.
"As the so-called father's debt is repaid by the son, and vice versa, we will repay your kindness to Ling Zun, what does the son think?"
"You swear to repay you, but I don't believe you have that ability." Hao Jie looked at Zhan Mei with a suspicious expression, he didn't believe that the thin woman in front of him had this ability, and there was no fluctuation of internal force in her body, and there was no shadow of a master.
"Is it not, Gongzi will know when he asks Ling Zun, why should he be so unforgiving."
Hao Fengshou nodded affirmatively at his son.
Hao Jie looked at Zhanmei: "What are you going to do?" β
The corners of Zhanmei's mouth curled slightly, it seems that the other party has agreed to her own conditions. Very good.
"I heard that Hao Gongzi and the daughter of Lord Zhou Mu are very good friends?" Zhan Mei accentuated the words 'good friend', Hao Jie changed his previous kindness when he heard Zhan Mei's words, and with a brush, he pulled out his long sword and pointed directly at Zhan Mei's eyebrows, and his eyebrows were full of evil: "How do you know?" β
"Hao Gongzi's matter is not a secret, as long as you probe with a little attention, it will be clear, but why should Gongzi be so nervous, it is very normal for men and women to love each other unmarried, and there is no intention of coercion."
"There is no coercion, so why are you mentioning Miss Li for no reason?" Hao Jie looked at Zhan Mei with a puzzled expression.
"Where, it's just that there are some things that need Miss Li to thread the needle", Childe is a subordinate of Taishou, but I heard that Lord Taishou and Lord Li have always been at odds, if you go directly, I'm afraid that Lord Zhou Mu won't give you this face!
Knowing that he was making a big fuss, Hao Jie frowned and withdrew his long sword.
"Senior Hao, do you know how long Master Zhou Mu has been here?", Zhan Mei threw out a question that made everyone feel irrelevant.
"This" Hao Fengshou lowered his head and pondered for a while when he heard Zhan Mei's words, Fang raised his head and said uncertainly: "It's probably seven or eight years!" β
"Mrs. Leng, is there any mystery in this?" Hao Fengshou asked puzzled.
"This is the key to our success in persuading the Governor of the Prefecture," Zhan Mei said with a confident smile.
"What do you mean by that?" The three of them looked at Zhan Mei together.
Seeing this, Zhan Mei sighed in her heart, how many idiots don't care about political affairs, and they don't even know this.
Every three years, the imperial court will evaluate officials, and the content of the assessment is combined with morality (loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness) and political performance (population growth, people's livelihood and public security, the number of cases, and banditry).
"Eh, madam, what do you mean by saying such a long list of nonsense?" Zhan Mei was talking about the rise, and suddenly Leng Feng interjected and interrupted Zhan Mei's thoughts.
"Leng Feng, what do you want to drop", Zhan Mei asked threateningly, holding back the anger in her heart.
"It's okay, keep going, just be happy, keep going, keep going...... Leng Feng snorted haha, trying to get by."
Zhan Mei was hindered by the presence of outsiders, so she did not continue to entangle Leng Feng to save face.
The state pastor can sit in this position for so long, the ability must not be much worse, as for morality, whoever gives money is moral, and whoever does not give money is immoral, he has not been promoted for so many years It cannot be a moral problem, then the problem lies in the political performance, and the mountain bandits in Luofeng Village are so fierce, I conclude that the bandits are entrenched in his career is the main reason for his poor career, Zhan Mei analyzed for the three guys with a serious expression.
"Although what the girl said is quite reasonable, but the lack of promotion does not mean anything! The old man felt that the girl's guess was unreliable", Hao Fengshou disagreed with Zhanmei's analysis in his heart, and euphemistically denied Zhanmei's conjecture.
"Believe it or not, isn't it clear to the seniors if they ask Ling Gongzi?"
"Really?" Hao Fengshou looked at his son suspiciously, Hao Jie nodded invisibly, and seeing this, Hao Fengshou's high heart was half relieved.
"The younger generation doesn't know much about the things in your place when they first arrive, but the words of the younger generation are well-founded, and through the observation of these days, the younger generation thinks that as long as the seniors do what they say, they will definitely get what they want, and it is not the business of the younger generations whether they want to do it or not."
"What does the girl think we should do?" Hao Fengshou saw that the other party looked confident, and asked with anticipation.
"Wait, the seniors now believe in the ability of the juniors, and if you want the juniors to do things, shouldn't you show your sincerity first!" Zhan Mei saw that the other party looked like she was roaring urgently, and made the appearance of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
"Doesn't the girl still believe in the old man's character, as long as this matter is successful, the old man will definitely let the dog do this for you", Hao Fengshou swore to Zhanmei.
"The old-timers have lived so old, I believe that what winds and waves have been seen, the younger generations have always been more cautious in doing things, and the seniors' character has nothing to do with whether they believe it or not, if it is inappropriate, offend the seniors, and ask the seniors to bear with me." Zhan Mei is not a thin-faced person, Hao Fengshou's agitation method is not enough for her at all, and some things are still safer in her hands.
"The girl has to get the identity document before she is willing to do things, which will delay a lot of time, and the girl will slow down if she has a long night dream", Hao Fengshou persuaded.
"As long as the old-timers have the heart, they will definitely be able to do it as soon as possible", Zhan Mei pushed back the words in two or two, saying that if she doesn't see a rabbit, she won't scatter an eagle.
"Father, don't fall for them, if this matter is revealed by then, our father and son will be charged with treason and collaboration with the enemy! And it's not certain that she will be able to successfully eliminate the bandits! Hao Jie looked at his father's contemplative appearance and hurriedly dissuaded him.
"It's all the trouble you provoked, I'm going to kill you today to prevent future troubles", Hao Jie looked at Zhan Mei with a murderous look on his face while holding his sword.
"Oh, killing me depends on whether you have that ability", Zhan Mei chuckled, her face was light, as if the person who was threatened was not herself.
"You should be damned", Hao Jie felt that the other party's words and deeds were simply a great insult to himself.
"Stop", seeing his son holding a long sword and stabbing towards Zhanmei, Hao Fengshou roared like thunder.
Hao Jie heard his father's stern angry shout, and reluctantly withdrew the sword that stabbed Zhan Mei.
"It seems that Senior Hao has already decided", Zhan Mei crossed her arms and looked leisurely.
"Father, you ......"
"Okay, let's do what Mrs. Leng wants! I hope that Mrs. will not let the old man take risks in vain, if things fail by then, then don't blame the old man for turning his face and not recognizing people", Hao Fengshou bent his waist, and looked at Zhanmei with cloudy eyes, but Zhanmei was unmoved.
"Senior, don't worry, if this matter fails, our husband and wife will never resist at your disposal."
"Okay, good", Hao Fengshou said three good words in a row, squinting slightly and looking at the two of them, his eyes flashing with fine light.
"Mrs. Leng, what should we do next?" Hao Fengshou asked Zhan Mei, and it seemed that he was very anxious.
"Everything will depend on your seniors next, and the juniors promise that as long as you follow my methods, I believe you will get your wish." Zhan Mei said wildly, Leng Feng listened to Zhan Mei's words, and his heart was shocked, can Mei'er really succeed in such a big thing?
The seniors can ask to see the governor through Ling Lang's relationship, and when the time comes, you can persuade him with your three-inch tongue, and if the other party has an arrogant attitude, you don't have to be too humble.
"Madame, the other party is a high-powered state shepherd, and the old man is just a mere white ding, so the arrogance of the adult is a matter of course! I believe that the old man just needs to endure it."
"Hehe, seniors are so afraid that this matter will not only not succeed, but will backfire, you must know that being too humble will only make the other party think that you are weak and can be bullied, sometimes appropriate strength is the foundation of life", Zhan Mei was a little worried, but the other party's personality is not something that he can control, I hope he can treat himself as peacefully, otherwise this matter is difficult, difficult!
"This ......" Hearing Zhan Mei's rebellious words, Hao Fengshou didn't agree with it in his heart, and he didn't want to refute Zhan Mei in person, so as not to make the other party lose face and hurt his peace.
Girl, please continue, the old man listens.
Senior, you will ...... when the time comes.
Zhan Mei muttered a lot of words, and it took a long time to finish speaking, and through the window, she saw that the moon had set in the west, and the rooster had crowed several times. Zhan Mei looked back at the two fathers and sons: "Okay, it's not too early now, seniors, go and rest!" β
Hearing Mrs. Leng's eviction order, Hao Fengshou saw that the time was indeed not early, so he said goodbye to Leng Feng and his wife, "Then Mrs. Leng's old husband will not disturb your rest."
"Hmm," Zhan Mei nodded, indicating that she understood. The two fathers and sons walked out of the house together, Leng Feng closed the door and hurriedly ran to Zhan Mei and asked worriedly, "Mei'er, do we really want to do this?" If things fail then, how will we end up?"
"What are you afraid of, if we fail, we will slip away, do they dare to report the two of us if they do something wrong, but" Zhanmei played with her black hair and played with Guan Zi.
"But what? Mei'er, you should make it clear at once! I'm really anxious to die", Leng Feng pricked up his ears and listened, where did he think of Zhanmei's non-stop teasing.
"But it's unknown whether they will have a chance to trouble us at that time," Zhan Mei smiled sinisterly.
"Why? If they succeed, won't their father and son be great heroes? Why ...... it still "
"The things that the high-ranking state pastor can't solve in a few years, I don't know the anonymous people who ran out of that nest, and I don't know how thick the sky is."
Listening to Mei'er's words, Leng Feng's heart hit a heaviness, and the long-lost feeling hit his heart again, Zhanmei's face was blurred under the reflection of candlelight, Leng Feng felt that there was an invisible curtain between him and Zhanmei, Leng Feng looked at Zhanmei's terrifying face and didn't speak, lying on the ground and thinking about his heart silently, he wanted to take advantage of the dark night to have a sweet dream to relieve the exhaustion of his soul.
Zhan Mei sat on the bed and heard Leng Feng's even breathing, her expression was unpredictable: "I didn't expect Leng Feng to be so unable to withstand the blow, I hope he won't let his hard work be in vain."
Recently, for some reason, there has always been a deep boredom lingering in Zhanmei's heart, except to bear this boredom and try to suppress it, Zhanmei has no other way, it seems that something is going to happen recently, Zhanmei's sixth sense has always been extremely effective. In the lonely night, people are always extremely vulnerable, and Zhan Mei's soft intestines suddenly remembered the happy life in Wuzhou City in the past, and every scene was so moving. I always remember the friendship of the past in my heart, and the corners of Zhanmei's eyes suddenly became a little moist, and even I didn't know what I was feeling.
"Father, do you really believe that woman of unknown origin", the two fathers and sons came to the courtyard, Hao Jie stopped and looked at his father with a solemn expression.
"Is there any other way than to believe her?" Hao Fengshou looked at his son's worried face, his face was helpless, and his whole body was tired between his eyebrows.
"Is it really worth taking such a big risk to avenge her?" Hao Jie didn't understand what was wrong with his father, their fight with the mountain bandits was tantamount to an egg hitting a stone, why did his father always turn a blind eye to such a simple reason.
"Worth" Hao Fengshou returned categorically, except for the deep hatred in his eyes, he was all firm: "I am willing to pay any price for avenging my wife and husband."
"Really? Including your son's life and future", Hao Jie's eyes flashed with water, but he stubbornly refused to show weakness.
"Jie'er, why do you think so, how can a father do this", Hao Fengshou really didn't mean to hurt his son, he just wanted revenge.
"Don't think too much, you're doing this now, how can you not make people think about it too much", Hao Jie looked at his father emotionally.
"Don't worry, child, my father will definitely handle this matter properly and won't let you be hurt at all, so don't worry!", Hao Jie listened to his father's weak persuasion, and smiled mockingly: "Guarantee, what guarantee do you use, you have nothing, who called me your son, this time you have to insist on sending him to death, and the son can only accompany him to repay his father's kindness." β
