In summer, the sky is full of brilliance, and the stars are scattered on both sides of the Milky Way, as if weaving a mesmerizing web.

Sitting alone on the roof of Zangxiu Tower for a long time, Zhou Manyun quietly turned over his light body, coiled a thin pillar like silver, and turned back into his room.

People are restless and sleepless at night.

The joy of the bandits on Liupanyan when they were brought back by the good news that they had been completely wiped out gradually turned into a deep melancholy when they saw Du Xuanshuang and the others a little later.

The process of clearing out the remaining bandits was very smooth, but Du Xuanshuang was injured. The injury was not serious, but they were a little wronged, and when they returned, they also brought back several "murderers" who injured Du Xuanshuang. didn't enter Xiao Zhou's Mansion and Shunyi, only found an empty courtyard to settle and interrogate.

When the bandits on the mountain were cleaned up by the Zhou family's guards, it was a young woman who unexpectedly injured Du Xuanshuang, who, like her five or six companions, were all robbed after the New Year to the nearby village girls on the mountain or the families of passing merchants, and the longest stayed on the mountain for half a year, and the shortest was only eleven or twelve days.

Most of their relatives have been killed by bandits, and they themselves have become the playthings of the bandits.

But just like that, when Du Xuanshuang and the others made it clear that they were here to save people, they first were numb and silent, and then in the shouting and scolding of several bandits, they actually attacked the people who wanted to save them.

It doesn't matter if they are bandits, they are just poor victims. But after bringing these women back for careful examination, they also found that when they were on the mountain, some of them actually killed several disobedient women at the instigation of the mountain bandits for the so-called struggle for the wind.

When freedom is held in one place, he succumbs to the powerful kidnappers and turns around against his own kind. I got used to it when I got to Zuihou, and I refused to take half a step out of the prison door to give freedom. It may seem unreasonable, but it is also a common thing. It's not just these women, the women who are trapped in the depths of a house somewhere and fight for a man like black-eyed chickens. Except for the difference in identity, the others are not similar. After the habit of discarding dignity and clinging to power, the freedom that is delivered to them will make the domesticated weak feel more uneasy.

Man Yun couldn't sleep alone in the middle of the night, just thinking about what to do with these women. Even after being pushed by others, she suddenly remembered the bottle of medicine that she threw to Lu Harizi during the day, and she was ashamed!

It's like living for a few years in vain.,The body still maintains the intuition of the previous life.,Even in the face of a completely different teenager who hasn't grown into that man.,It's still habitual to observe and pay attention.。 If it weren't for the constant reminder in his heart that there was still a blood feud between himself and Xiao Hong in his previous life. It is estimated that he will lose his armor and lose the bottom line.

"I don't love him, never did! It's just the same as those women, sick! It's just not all cured. ”

Zhou Manyun, who was asleep, frowned tightly and turned over, whispering in a low voice......

Early in the morning of the second day, after applying medicine to the eye circles, Zhou Manyun still took Hongmei out of Zhou's mansion and went to the small courtyard where those women were temporarily detained.

A screen was pulled up in the hall, and a guard who was born in Huo Cheng's face was presided over in front, and Man Yun hid in the screen and listened quietly.

The women in the hall were no longer the hysteria they had when they had been brought in the previous night, and they were huddled together. It seems to be meekly waiting for the choice of a new owner. The two women who had killed their companions last night died, and although the remaining five women did not know the cause of their deaths, it did not prevent them from becoming honest all at once.

"Here are the tangles that are given to everyone, and each of them will take it and go to his own house. Such as homeless. You can also seek refuge with relatives...... Just out of this door, you don't have to remember this incident anymore. ”

"Big brother, you can do well. Just take us in! A woman in green stared at her in astonishment. As soon as he threw himself, he hugged the leg of the talking guard, and said with tears on his face: "You have saved our sisters by doing chivalrous deeds. It's better to be a good person to do it to the end! ”

Good people can't do it, and they don't have the power to do it. The man who was hugged by the thigh indifferently bounced away from the woman who had been wrapped up, stood aside without saying a word, and pushed the silver ingot on the table forward.

"I know you're from Xinan Xiaozhou's Mansion! If you had gone up to the mountain to suppress the bandits earlier, why would our sisters have lost their relatives and innocence! Another woman stepped forward and shouted loudly. The silver ingots on the table didn't look too much to be distributed to each person, and they had secretly discussed before, if it was really the benevolent Xiao Zhou Mansion to save people, they might as well ask for more benefits. To survive in the bandits' den, these women have their own tenacity.

Sure enough, Shengmien, fight Mi Qiu.

Man Yun, who was hiding behind the screen, lowered his head and smiled, full of bitterness. The situation she had expected last night happened according to the deduction, and she did not feel the slightest smugness, but felt more sad.

Raising his handkerchief to cover his lips and coughing softly, the guards led by the hall immediately exchanged glances with their companions, and one of them neatly wrapped his arms around a woman's neck.

Almost at the same time, the women were forced to open their mouths with their cheeks grabbed without mercy, and a white pill was swallowed in their throats.

"Originally, I wanted to save some face for you and arrange a good road, but since you don't want to, then I can only send you to the county government and hand it over to Li Zhixian for disposal. You should have some self-knowledge of what you want to do and say then......," rolled in the hall as women moaned in pain against their stomachs, and the man's voice was still low.

"Let's go!" , Zhou Manyun stood up lightly, called Hongmei who was standing aside, and strode away without any nostalgia.

At this point, although there is pity for these women, since they like to cocoon themselves, Manyun does not want to rush to be the good man who rescues them. Like Mrs. Zhou's close friends, who later took medicine instead of dough, she gave these women "Moon Shadow".

There is a profit and loss in the month, and the poison follows the month. This poison is not deadly, but only reminds of the mistake of the original choice with unbearable pain on a monthly basis. Maybe they will figure it out after years and months, and they will come and ask for an antidote to a complete cure. Maybe in the accumulated pain, I hate the original drug person even more.

Zhou Manyun is not afraid of hate. Hearing the woman's shouting of the Zhou family just now made Man Yunjue need to teach them a lesson.

It is true that the Zhou family has already wanted to suppress the bandits, and it is not true that in order to annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop and wait for the opportunity, it is not true that the mountain bandits have harmed some innocent people, but it does not mean that the Zhou family has to bear the debts created by those bandits without regrets, and after saving a person, they will have to bear this person's life.

Manyun's carriage had not long since he left. A group of guards escorted a bunch of haode women to join up with another group of people and go to the county office.

The matter of suppressing bandits, which had been hidden for a day, should be officially turned over. When the Zhou family gave Li Zhixian a credit, they also wanted to completely drag this old man who was becoming more and more cooperative in Huocheng into the water. After all. If you really want to hang a long list of human heads on the city gate as Zhou Manyun said, you have to put a big seal on Li Zhixian.

The corpses of the bandits pulled by several carts and the women crying across the street suddenly made Huocheng, which had been silent for a long time, boil.

Not only did the small people in the market surround the streets near the county government to watch the excitement, but even the Chuanfang Academy, which was home to the future elites, dispersed earlier than usual after receiving the news, and many young students crowded into the crowd to watch the excitement.

The Xiuyu Hall of the Zhou family was almost empty, and the teenagers who were supposed to return home ran to the vicinity of the county government earlier than others. Because Zhou Chen participated in the extermination of Liupanyan, they were even more honored to go to the scene.

Only Gao Wei lived in the West Chamber, which was still as loud as in the past, with the sound of reading.

A paper window is half-hidden and half-open, and Gao Wei's eyebrows and eyes under the window are stretched, and his breath is calm. After the lessons of the previous kidnapping. His whole child seemed to have been re-quenched from the inside out, quiet and introverted, and more and more warm as jade.

"Wei'er! You can still calm down now! Through the window, Zhou Bai, who seemed to have no intention of taking a walk, looked at his nephew with a smile and a look of approval.

"Uncle!" Gao Wei immediately got up and saluted, and then pushed a chair and rushed to the door to greet him.

arranged for Zhou Bai to sit down, and called Mozhu to pour tea. Gao Wei's demeanor and voice were like a breeze blowing, peaceful, natural and respectful, which caused Zhou Bai to nod his head and praise, and the room was harmonious.

It is natural for Gao Wei to treat Zhou Bai closer than before. In the aftermath of the kidnapping. Aunt Gao's first saw that he was still angry and stingy with some women, but Zhou Baida, who was Zhou Shen's own father, was rescued from Gao Wei and has always been kind to him. Comforting as much as possible. It also reminded Gao Wei that his mother had commented that his aunt's stubbornness was also one of the reasons why their husband and wife lived apart.

After asking a few words about his studies, Zhou Bai's eyes quietly brought some gloom. He persuaded in a low voice: "Wei'er, you don't have to overdo it. I just read behind closed doors. The young man followed his companion to see the excitement, too. Otherwise, there will always be a suspicion of being too arrogant. ”

"Wei'er knows. It's just that the homework given by Mr. has not been warmed up, so he doesn't dare to slack off. Gao Wei bowed his head and lightly concealed his helplessness.

Although because Yu's mother died, it is impossible to say whether Xue Sujun intentionally hooked him or the letter handed in inadvertently became bait, but the alienation led by Zhou Chen was still imitated by the brothers of the Zhou family. Zhou Shen, who is the closest to him, has now worshipped Wenda's master as a teacher. Mr. Wen moved into the Dunyuan where Xu Ne used to live, and Zhou Shen, who also returned to Zhou's house at this time, went to learn chess again, and it is estimated that it will take until dark.

"Actually, I was just like you at the beginning, and I only knew how to read." , Zhou Bai sighed for a long time, and Qingjun's face was a little stunned. After the abstinence, his original skeletal face became a little rounder, but he was still so thin that he couldn't return to his former appearance, but it also brought a bit of so-called ease of air because of this.

"My uncle has been doing well in his studies since he was a child, and my father has also praised it in front of Wei'er."

Zhou Bai nodded with remembrance in his eyes, and a hoarse voice sounded in his throat.

"At home, parents value the eldest son and love the younger son, how can they be the second son? can only study hard and make progress by himself, no matter how old he is, he will have less fame, and he will go to the countryside for thousands of miles to start from the small officials, and it is easy to have some hopes and finally come to naught...... The eldest brother can't be a big Confucian, I don't have the patience for him to study, I have the heart to reinstate, but I still have to let the eldest ......"

"Daddy!" , Zhou Shen's voice with some panic came from the door.

Zhou Bai and Gao Wei turned their heads to look at the door almost at the same time, and next to Zhou Shen, who disturbed Zhou Bai's nostalgia, Zhou Chen, who was still standing with an air conditioner.

Zhou Shen ran into the door, and after saluting his father, he dragged Gao Wei's sleeve and said with a smile: "Second brother went home to find me, and took leave with Mr. Wen to take me out, I thought that my cousin should also go with me." ”。

When he was dragged out of the Dunyuan by Zhou Chen just now, Zhou Shen was a little unhappy, but after the explanation of the second brother, he still decided to go and have a look, and before going out, he thought of Gao Wei, who had returned home directly from the academy like him, so he dragged Zhou Chen over.

"I was just trying to persuade Wei'er to go out for a walk!" , Zhou Bai stood up with a smile and touched Zhou Shen's top hair, showing the kindness of a loving father.

Someone came to the door to pull it, and Gao Wei asked Mozhu to find a coat to go out of.

"Shen'er, you wait here. I'm going to see off my father! Zhou Chen seriously explained to Zhou Shen, and chased after Zhou Bai's figure.

As if he had heard the footsteps behind him, Zhou Bai's figure slowly swaying on the path alone became slower and slower.

"Father!" , Zhou Chen, who caught up, shouted softly, and was stuck for a long time before he hardened his voice in Zhou Bai's cold gaze and said: "You have heard everything about the kidnapping case of the fourth brother before. For the sake of his unwarranted missing finger, you shouldn't be so close to Gao Wei. ”。

"You're going to teach me a lesson? The boy who hasn't grown up yet, what do you know ......", as soon as he heard such an explanation, Zhou Bai snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves and left.

Zhou Chen, who was left behind by Zhou Bai, stood for a while, after all, he didn't dare to chase after his father, who had not been close for several years, stomped his feet angrily, and returned to the west chamber of Xiuyutang. (To be continued......)
