Chapter Fifty-Eight: Throwing Yourself West

Suddenly, on the high platform of Chai Jiawa, there was the sound of heads falling to the ground. Zhu Honglan is also killing chickens to show monkeys, and he politely persuaded him to kill other Zhuangdi bullies in public this time, which will not cause Chai Jiawa's hatred, but also give a warning, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

The villagers were also reluctant to hand over the money and food they had worked so hard to accumulate, which is also human nature, and some people even felt unconvinced, thinking that others were suffering, why did I bleed? But after everyone saw that these stingy local tyrants were cut down, they couldn't help but be both shocked and ashamed, shocked and naturally a little scared to see the killing, ashamed and ashamed to feel that they were guarding the granary and refused to provide disaster relief, and their conscience was a little unbearable.

Before I knew it, it was already dawn, so Zhu Honglan ordered people to carry out the grain stored in each village and the church, put it on the avenue, and posted notices everywhere, saying that Xujialou Sanzhuang had decided to give food to the victims of the disaster. And villagers from all over the country also came to receive food with dustpans and sacks.

After a few days, not only the villagers of the three villages were in awe of the vermilion lantern, but the people nearby also had a good reputation, and even some storytellers compiled this passage into a commentary and gave speeches everywhere, the name was "The vermilion lantern attacked Xujialou at night, and the victims of CQ County received relief food".

After distributing the relief food for a few days, Yu Qingshui discussed with Zhu Honglan that it was estimated that the government would soon find it, and it should be prepared as soon as possible. Zhu Honglan had already planned, this time they met together in JN, and doing this big thing will definitely cause dissatisfaction among foreigners, and the Qing court will also hinder face and come to investigate, so Yu Qingshui Wang Liyan and others, each with their own people, prepare to withdraw from Xujialou that night, and go back to their respective altars.

An informant has already reported that the governor of JN Prefecture, Yuxian, has been forced by foreigners to send troops to come, and now it is estimated that he has arrived at CQ. So Zhu Honglan immediately counted the number of people and prepared to retreat, but in order to avoid the official army, he led everyone to go directly north from Mount Tai and pass through.

Along the way, everyone held torches, hundreds of people walked through the mountains and forests, looking from afar, like a fire dragon cruising in the mountains and forests, it was very spectacular. On the way, Lian'er said to Qin Zhihong:

"You did a good job this time, but why did you end up hiding it from your grandmother and saying that you were Master Chai's subordinates?"

Qin Zhihong said with a smile: "I didn't mean to lie to her, but this operation can't be revealed, I can only say this, besides, it is a merit for us to get rid of the bully and save Chai Jiawa from the persecution of traitors, as for whether we sue him or not for our true identity, it doesn't matter, as long as we don't have the intention of harming others." ”

When they arrived at the boundary of JN Mansion, Yu Qingshui and Wang Liyan took their own people and Zhu Honglan to say goodbye, and everyone agreed that they would support each other and share weal and woe, so they each took people and dispersed.

After seeing the people from all walks of life leave, Zhu Honglan took his own people and Monk Benming back to the JN boxing arena.

When we arrived at the house of the monk Benming of JN Mansion, everyone rested for a while, observed the movements everywhere, and saw that the government had no way to find it, so they were relieved.

In fact, Yuxian, the governor of JN Prefecture, also hated foreigners being domineering, so he turned a blind eye to the boxers in Shandong. And because of the pressure of the imperial court, he sometimes had to bow his head, but the red light made a big fuss in Xujialou, although Yuxian also sent people to search for it, but he also didn't work, so this matter was over.

And Qin Zhihong was used to screaming, and when he saw that Lian'er was still a lady, Lian'er felt that it was not etiquette at first, but after a long time, he went. However, Lian'er also said to Qin Zhihong:

"I didn't have a father and mother since I was a child, only the master raised me, and now it's gone, how can a marriage matter rely on betting so much, if Senior Brother Zhu is in charge, and then after meeting your mother, the old man is willing."

When Qin Zhihong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking to himself, he walked the rivers and lakes to JN Mansion, and then went to CQ County, after all, he didn't work in vain, and he also earned a daughter-in-law.

Zhu Honglan and Benming monk He couldn't see that the two of them had fallen in love, so they taught the two of them to come over and say:

"Zhihong, last time you and Lian'er went to spy on the news, you made a great contribution, we lost a lot of casualties, and I also promised you to teach you martial arts, but Uncle Cousin I really don't have time to guide you to practice now, so I decided to recommend you to my uncle Zhao Sanduo to learn art from him, what do you think?"

Qin Zhihong was unhappy when he heard the boss, and thought to himself, who is this Zhao Sanduo, it is estimated that he is an old man, why did my cousin let me go there to learn martial arts? But I didn't dare to say it after all. At this time, Lian'er said:

"Do you mean Uncle Shi?"

Zhu Honglan nodded, and Lian'er said to Qin Zhihong: "My uncle Zhao Sanduo is now the head of the Plum Blossom Sect, and now he is also leading people to fight against the foreign religion, I also heard recently that he had a fight with the local foreign religion, and the uncle also killed two foreign disciples!" ”

Qin Zhihong was not very concerned when he heard this, and said, "Then what are you asking me to go there for, Uncle Cousin?" ”

Zhu Honglan motioned for Qin Zhihong to come over, so he whispered in his ear: "You kid, are you and my junior sister privately agreeing for life?" ”

When Qin Zhihong heard his cousin say this, he couldn't help but glance at Lian'er, but Lian'er couldn't hear what the two of them said, so he didn't care, thinking that it might be another espionage mission.

Qin Zhihong shook his head at Zhu Honglan and said, "No." ”

Zhu Honglan whispered to Qin Zhihong's ear and said, "Then you tell your cousin if you want to marry my junior sister as a daughter-in-law?" Don't lie to me, I've heard from Senior Brother Yu and Monk Benming. ”

Qin Zhihong saw that Zhu Honglan said that Monk Yu Qingshui Benming told him, and he thought that these two people were old foxes, and they had already seen this kind of thing, so they had to nod and admit it. Zhu Honglan said:

"Then you go to my uncle and ask him to take you as an apprentice, do you think I don't have time to teach you? Of course not, but in this case, don't you and Lian'er belong to the same family, and do you agree to the generation? When the time comes, it won't be in your way because of this. ”

After speaking, Zhu Honglan said loudly: "Anyway, it's such a task, if you want to help me do it, you can do it, if you don't want to do it, I won't force it." This was not only what Zhu Honglan said to Qin Zhihong, but also what he deliberately deceived Lian'er.

When Qin Zhihong heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Of course you have to go, of course you have to go!" ”

Zhu Honglan smiled and said, "Then go and get ready, and leave tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Zhu Honglan still didn't assign a task to herself, Lian'er said, "Senior brother, do you want me to protect him thoroughly?" ”

Zhu Honglan saw that Lian'er couldn't bear it first, and asked to follow, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and said to herself: "Senior sister, this time I went to Uncle Shi's, and it was not a dangerous task, so it doesn't matter if I go to protect it or not." Zhu Honglan also deliberately hung Lian'er's appetite.

Lian'er didn't know that Zhu Honglan deliberately said this, so she said: "It's a long way, Uncle Shi is in the HB realm, what if there are any robbers and bandits along the way?" ”

Zhu Honglan smiled and said, "It seems that you don't care about our family Zhihong." ”

Lian'er was suddenly stunned, but she was embarrassed not to admit it, Zhu Honglan saw that the girl's family was thin-skinned after all, so she continued: "Okay, since accidents are easy to happen on the road, then you should go and follow, it just so happens that there is something on Uncle Shi's side, and you can also come back in time to report the news." ”

When Lian'er heard this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly wrote down her senior brother Vermilion Lantern, and asked her to go back and pack up.

Qin Zhihong studied medicine with his grandfather and father since he was a child, and developed the habit of being meticulous and meticulous, although even so, his grandfather and father did not say that he was careless, but compared to others, he was still very thoughtful, so when preparing the luggage, he thought about it and didn't know what to bring. And Lian'er has been practicing martial arts with Jiang Yixian since she was a child, so she is naturally very arrogant, go back and get a blanket, wrap some change of clothes, and come to Qin Zhihong with her long sword.

Seeing this, Qin Zhihong asked Lian'er, "Why are you going?" ”

Lian'er smiled and said, "Naturally, I will follow you." ”

Qin Zhihong thought that he would definitely go by himself this time, it would be a test for himself, and when he came back, his cousin would agree to be with Lian'er, but he didn't expect him to let Lian'er follow, thinking, how can I practice martial arts? But he was very happy to say:

"I didn't expect it to be a bit of a husband and wife now."

Lian'er pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and pack up your things, I'm done cleaning up, why are you so slow." ”

Qin Zhihong said: "Uncle Cousin said that we will leave tomorrow morning, this is still early, why is there a hurry?" Besides, wouldn't it be better for me to earn some money along the way? ”

Lian'er said: "Okay, you have already made a lot of money in Chai Jiawa, I didn't tell Uncle SΓΉ to let you hand it over, you still want to make some more, what is the amount of money you make?" ”

Qin Zhihong immediately said: "Then thank you lady for lying to me." ”

Lian'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Do you think Senior Brother Yu and Master Ben Ming don't know?" That's all because of your hard work this time, so you deliberately didn't say it, but then again, you earned it yourself, and you didn't get it from the account, so you have to hand it back. ”

Qin Zhihong still joked: "Well, yes, as soon as I heard this, I heard it inside and outside." ”

Lian'er put down her coat and sword, and said, "Let you go first, and Ming'er will come to you early in the morning to set off together." Then he asked, "Then do you think I am inside or outside?" ”

Qin Zhihong said unhappily: "You are the daughter-in-law I bet on, naturally you are inside?" Think about it, when I see people talking about you in the future, they will be called 'cheap inside', isn't the inside the inside? ”

Lian'er immediately grabbed the collar on the back of Qin Zhihong's neck, and said with a pout: "If you dare to scold me like this, you really kicked your nose in the face." ”

Qin Zhihong saw that it was not good, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Don't move, although you are so good-looking, but after all, you are imitating your senior brother and my cousin, at most, it can be regarded as a narcissus not blooming - pretending to be garlic, a woman, you have to be gentle." ”

When Lian'er heard this, she said disdainfully: "What does it mean to be gentle? ”

Qin Zhihong looked up at the roof beam and thought for a long time, and said: "I don't know what a woman means to be gentle...... but he suddenly remembered something for reference, so he said: "In this way, you can learn from the ** milk jade in the woods by the Chaijiawa pond that night!" ”

Qin Zhihong also felt that Jade would hook everyone at any time, but at least he knew how to be gentle with men, so he said it casually, but he didn't expect Lian'er to think that she should learn from that kind of woman, so she couldn't help but get angry, and kicked Qin Zhihong, who was squatting on the ground to pack the package, and rolled on the ground.

Qin Zhihong didn't get angry when he got up, and said with a smile: "What are you doing, isn't it just a joke." ”

Lian'er saw that he was thick-skinned enough, so she rushed over and pinched Qin Zhihong's ears again to lift him up. But Qin Zhihong was afraid that she would practice her family, and her hands would be too strong and hurt herself, so she grabbed Lian'er's waist and borrowed her strength, wanting to follow Lian'er's gesture so that her ears would not hurt too much, and then he got up and stood up all of a sudden.

Waiting for Qin Zhihong to stand up straight, the two looked at each other, at this time Qin Zhihong's hands were thrown on Lian'er's waist, and Lian'er's right hand was also pinching his left ear on Qin Zhihong's shoulder, the four eyes were facing each other, and time instantly seemed to be stagnant. Qin Zhihong immediately smelled the faint fragrance on Lian'er's body, and Lian'er suddenly felt that Qin Zhihong's shoulders were broad and powerful, and the two couldn't help but be a little intoxicated.

But in an instant, Lian'er hurriedly let go of her right hand and put it down, Qin Zhihong also felt cramped, and put down his hands that were still on Lian'er's waist.

Qin Zhihong smiled jerkily and said, "I've been staying together for a long time, I'm used to it......"

Lian'er blushed and whispered, "I'll come to you tomorrow morning." ”

Early the next morning, Lian'er knocked on the side of the window, because this place was next to Qin Zhihong's kang, which was much better than knocking on the door. Qin Zhihong hadn't woken up yet, and said, "What are you doing, what's the hurry, can't you let people wake up and leave?" ”

Lian'er ignored it, continued to knock on the door, and said, "When you wake up, Senior Brother Zhu will still leave us for lunch, so can you leave today?" ”

So Qin Zhihong hurriedly got up and got dressed, opened the door, and the two of them ate something casually, said goodbye to Zhu Honglan and Monk Benming, and walked all the way north.

At this time, Zhao Sanduo had already led the crowd to G County, and Lian'er had just heard about his deeds in the struggle against foreign religions in G County. So the two decided to cross the Yellow River first, and then go all the way west to G County to find their uncle Zhao Sanduo.

When they arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River, the two rented a boat and crossed the river. Then the two went west again, found an inn in RP County for the night, and continued westward to G County early the next morning.

It has been on the road for two days, Qin Zhihong wanted to do some business on the way, but Lian'er refused to live or die, and kept shouting that he wanted to hurry, so Qin Zhihong had no way, so he put away the business of practicing medicine, and went all the way to the west, and finally arrived at the boundary of G County in less than two days.

The two knew that they had to be careful in the struggle against the foreign religion, and they didn't dare to ask about Zhao Sanduo, so they had to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of their uncle's team while walking.

It was early autumn, and the two saw that they couldn't find their uncle Zhao Sanduo soon, so they had to stay in an inn first and leave the next day. As soon as I inquired, this place is called Liyuantun, but it is not a place for singing, but it is named because there is a big pear grove in this place, so the two of them are not picky, and they just found an inn and lived in.
