Chapter 60: Knowing Each Other
The towering Lingshan Mountain has always been a forbidden place that the people of the city know little about. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info one is because of the bitter cold on the top of Lingshan Mountain, ordinary people can't tolerate it even if they go up the mountain; They also descended into the city in droves and plundered the rich merchants and corrupt officials in the city. Although they rarely clash with ordinary people, the people still smell these bandits who lick blood all day long.
There is a pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack at the halfway point of Lingshan, a man is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open, which is the only entrance to Lingfeng Village. Entering from this pass, the road is getting wider and wider, and you can see a tall gate in the distance, which is the martial arts training ground of Lingfeng Village. Bai Zhu walked all the way, and the little minions guarding the gate of the village saluted her one after another, and she didn't even blink an eye.
She didn't go back to her residence, nor did she go to see the mountain wind, and walked straight to the back mountain alone. There is a high cliff in the back mountain, and the mountains below the cliff are continuous and lush. Since beating the white bamboo and going up to Lingshan, this is her lonely place. Whenever she was depressed or lonely, she came here to sit. And before she met Lantian Yu, this was almost a place she had to come to every day.
She hadn't been here for a while, and there were some messy grass crawling on the big stone where Bai Zhu often sits, which carved her chaotic heart. She kicked the grass away with her foot, sat down on the rock, and grabbed a dog's tail grass from the side and put it in her mouth, looking at the mountains below the cliff.
Here, there is no need to hide disappointment, sadness, and sadness, and she can be her true self again.
There was silence all around at the moment, and she allowed her emotions to break through the firmly defended embankment and rush at the limbs with impunity. She felt a large hole in her chest, gushing out, and the wound would not heal as long as she was conscious. She never knew that there was such an unforgettable pain in the depths of her feelings, this pain could not see the wounds, could not touch the cracks, but was like a violent poison, eroding her muscles and bones, eating away at her heart, leaving her with nowhere to escape, never at peace.
After a long time, Bai Zhu leaned on the stone and fell asleep, in her sleep she felt that her body was getting cold, and the stone under her body was cold to the bone, she hugged her body tightly, stubbornly did not want to wake up, she just hoped that she could sleep like this all the time, and no longer have to feel the heart-rending pain in her chest.
After falling asleep for a while, she suddenly felt a warmth on her body, as if a warm fur was covering her, and then she was lifted from the ground by a pair of arms horizontally. The man cursed something when he touched her frozen, thin body, and walked quickly towards the mountain with her in his arms.
She was gently placed on the warm bed, and instantly regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and saw the familiar living room and bed, which was her residence in Lingfeng Village.
She sniffed her frozen nose, looked at the roof, and said without turning her head, "Third brother, I feel so uncomfortable... ”
It was Hui Jiu who was watching her from the side, he sighed and said, "Xiao Jiu, is that surnamed Lan bullying you again?" ”
Bai Zhu told Hui Jiu about the encounter of going down the mountain this time, and when Hui Jiu heard the end, he looked at Bai Zhu who was heartbroken on the bed, and his eyes were full of pain.
He reached out to caress her face, but hesitated and put it down again. I only heard him say in a deep voice, "That Su Ri surnamed Lan is good friends with Lin Xiuyuan, I thought they were the same kind, but I didn't expect him to bully you like this, it's just like a beast!" ”
He paused for a moment, and then said in a loud voice, "Xiao Jiu, this matter is on the third brother!" Tomorrow, the king will send us to the Thunder Dragon Gang to find out the details, and when we come back from the Thunder Dragon Gang, the third brother will go down the mountain with you and abolish this pair of dog men and women for you! We can't let the people of Lingfeng Village suffer the anger of the turtle grandson surnamed Lan! What do you say? ”
Bai Zhu, who was lying on the couch, had empty eyes, did not say anything, only slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep again. Hui Jiu sighed, pulled the animal skin covering her body, and turned to go out.
It's autumn, and the weather is getting cooler. Early that morning, Xue Zhao got up early and walked through the inner courtyard to the lobby. Ren Shouchuan has been slightly unwell recently, Xue Zhao discussed with Lin Xiuyuan, Ren Shouchuan only sat in the hall these days, and she came to the clinic instead of Ren Shouchuan.
Today's visit is an elderly woman who needs acupuncture, but fortunately her residence is not far from Tonghetang. Xue Zhao came over a little early, and while it was still early, he could discuss acupuncture with Ren Shouchuan carefully.
As soon as she stepped into the big courtyard from the inner courtyard, she saw Xiao Wu sorting out the bamboo plaques for drying medicinal herbs. When Xiao Wu saw her coming, he hurriedly ran up and said with a smile, "Sister Xuezhao, it's so early today!" ”
Xue Zhao smiled and said, "You were earlier than me." What are you doing? ”
Xiao Wu's clothes were thin, he was so cold that he hugged his arms and said, "There are a lot of medicinal materials to be dried today, I'll see if the bamboo plaque is enough, and then take it from the warehouse." ”
Xue Zhao looked down at his hand that was tucked straight into his sleeve and asked, "Why do you have to wear so little?" ”
Xiao Wu looked at the clothes on his body and said embarrassedly, "Sister Xuezhao, I have an old lady at home, and there is a younger brother below, all waiting to chew grain." Lao Tzu Niang was sick two days ago, so I took the winter clothes first and gave her medicine. ”
Seeing that Xue Zhao's face was worried, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister Xue Zhao, don't worry, it's not winter yet, it's just cooler in the morning and evening, and I'll redeem it after I get my salary in two days, and it's not in the way." ”
Xue Zhao frowned slightly, she took out a small money bag from her clothes, stuffed it into Xiao Wu's hand and said, "You take these first." Today, I will tell Brother Lin to make a winter coat for each of you, so that you will not be afraid of the cold in winter. ”
Xiao Wu looked at the delicate little money bag in his hand in a daze, with some tears in his eyes. He whispered, "Sister Xuezhao, I have been coming to Tonghetang for several years, and the young owner has always been very righteous to the big guys, and the wages they give are always more than others. He just has a cold face, and the big guys are afraid of him, unlike you, who eats and works with us, and is so considerate to us. The big guy is waiting for you to marry into Tonghetang, and become the young grandmother of Tonghetang, and your heart will be steady! ”
Xue Zhao's face turned red when he heard this, and he wanted to stop him, but suddenly heard a light cough from the back door of the lobby. She chuckled in her heart, she didn't need to look to know that it was Lin Xiuyuan standing there.
If he had listened to what he had just said, wouldn't he have thought that he had already meant this, and even the guys knew it? Thinking of this, she immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Xiao Wu was taken aback when he saw that it was Lin Xiuyuan, and hurriedly said, "Shaodong, I said the wrong thing again, I... Don't dare next time. Saying that, he actually hid behind Xue Zhao.
Xue Zhao also lowered his head, his face was hot, and he didn't know what to do. She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Wu behind her, and seeing his scared appearance, she had to muster up her courage, raised her head to look at Lin Xiuyuan, and pleaded softly, "Brother Lin, don't punish him, he just said it casually, and he didn't mean it." ”
Lin Xiuyuan walked over slowly, and there was no expression on his face. He looked down at her face and said, "Who said I'm going to punish him?" Again, he was right. ”
Xue Zhao raised his head and looked at him in surprise, he suddenly grabbed her to his side, and turned to look at Xiao Wudao, "Just now you said that the big guys think like this, is there such a thing?" ”
"Yes! Less proprietors! Someone in the courtyard actually chimed in without fear of death.
"That's what we all think!"
"yes!"
Xue Zhao was shocked, when did these people come out?
Lin Xiuyuan gave everyone a smile for the first time and said, "In this case, Xiao Wu, you go and talk to the account office, everyone has worked hard this month, and the monthly money has doubled." ”
Xue Zhao opened her mouth slightly in surprise, while Lin Xiuyuan hooked the corners of her mouth and looked down at her reaction. His charming smile made her drunk for a moment, like a slender finger, gently tugging at her heartstrings.
"Oh!!!" Everyone cheered and jumped up, and bamboo plaques drying medicinal herbs flew and smashed over the courtyard.
Inadvertently, a bamboo plaque flew towards Xuezhao, Lin Xiuyuan turned around, and immediately grabbed the bamboo plaque in his hand, and the other hand tightly cared for the snow in his arms.
He threw the bamboo plaque to the ground, and in the slightly stunned eyes of everyone, the tall figure hugged the delicate body of the swallow in his arms, and walked from the arch to the inner courtyard.
After a deathly silence, there was a loud laugh and noise.
