Dong Yuan took out a hand towel to wipe his sweat for his wife, Huang smiled and asked, "You went back so early today, didn't you be lazy?" ”

"Of course not, the work is getting more and more familiar, and the natural processing is getting faster and faster." Dong Yuan replied with a smile.

When the old man saw the husband and wife talking, he didn't mean to avoid it, and asked, "I wonder what happened to the head catcher named Ding Wei?" ”

"He's dead." Dong Yuan replied casually.

"Even if he commits a big crime, he should wait until the autumn queen asks how to die?" The old man frowned and asked.

"He was killed by bandits." Dong Yuan held back his impatience and replied.

The old man's brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked, "Are bandits really so rampant here?" Can any prisoner be killed by bandits? This prefectural order is too dereliction of duty. ”

Dong Yuan saw that he dared to say that the county commander was not, and his temper immediately attacked, and he said angrily:

"Before Lord Lu came, it was really rampant, not only bandits, but also bullies and skinning, life can only be counted as one day at a time, and then Lord Lu came, except for the bullies, the skinning was destroyed, and now it is much better, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

Seeing that the old man was about to speak, he interrupted unceremoniously:

"And Ding Peeling didn't die in prison, the night he was deposed by the county magistrate, he sent someone to poison the county magistrate, and he escaped at night, he fled to another county to die, but it's none of our county magistrates."

"Yes, yes, that's it." Huang nodded repeatedly.

The old man was robbed by Dong Yuan for a while, and he was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "He has only been in office for less than half a month, how much can he do, I don't know why you love him?" ”

"What are you talking about, Cuilan, let's go back, don't talk to him!" Dong Yuan was furious, and as he spoke, he cleaned up the shoe stall.

"Since the little brother thinks that what the old man said is wrong, he can refute it." The old man said with a smile.

Dong Yuan squinted and sneered:

"Although the county magistrate has not been here for a long time, I don't bother to tell you anything else, you can ask others, I only say myself, I was still selling shoes here ten days ago, but now I can go to the county government to work, the county magistrate has the grace of regeneration to me, if you talk nonsense, don't blame me for being polite."

"I don't know how the little brother got into the county office?" The old man asked with a smile.

Dong Yuan saw that he was always smiling, and his temper was a little tighter, and he messed up Qi Laosan, and Lu Yuan was slightly subdued, and later recommended himself to go to the county office.

The old man nodded slightly, arched his hand and said, "The old man said the wrong thing just now, please forgive the little brother." ”

"It's okay for you to say these things in front of me, don't say such rude things to Lord Lu in front of others."

Dong Yuan's face softened a little, returned the salute, and then pulled his wife back.

The old man looked at his back and smiled, being treated so unceremoniously that he seemed to be in a very good mood.

……

In a cave in Wolf Mountain, Shi Du and Su Liuying have been hiding in the cave for a few days, according to the information that Shi Du went out to inquire every day, Huang Fengzhai has been guarding the way down the mountain, so the two of them cannot leave Wolf Mountain.

However, in the past few days, Shi Du has been very polite, sleeping outside the entrance of the cave every night, and has never crossed half a point.

On the morning of this day, Shi Du saw that Su Liuying was not in a good mood, so he volunteered: "Miss Su, I'll go out and inquire again." ”

Su Liuying nodded lightly, and when Shi Du walked away, she walked out of the cave, looked left and right, and suddenly picked up her dress and ran towards a path.

After running for a while, she felt that she was getting closer and closer to the foot of the mountain, and suddenly a figure crossed over her head and landed in front of her, it was Shi Du.

"Miss Su, why did you come here alone?" Shi Du's eyes were a little panicked.

Su Liuying didn't answer, her eyes were staring at him tightly, and a seven-foot man in Shidu lowered his head by her staring.

"You don't have to pretend, I already know you're a bandit." Su Liuying slowly spoke.

Shi Duhu's body was shocked, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

After a long while, he looked up and asked, "I don't know how Miss Su saw it?" ”

Su Liuying's eyes slowly closed, she thought about it carefully in the past few days, and always felt that this person's appearance was too coincidental, and it was too easy for them to escape from the bandits' lair, so she wanted to leave secretly and then make a plan.

She just said something to test it, but she didn't expect that he was really a bandit after a try, and she suddenly lost all her thoughts.

With her heart down, she slammed into a tree.

"Miss Su, I can't help it!" Shi Du shouted, and an arrow stepped in front of the big tree, and Su Liuying hit him on the chest.

He was afraid that the internal force in his body would hurt the other party, so he hurriedly collected his strength, and was knocked to the ground by Su Liuying, and the two of them suddenly fell together.

"Let go of me!" Su Liuying shouted.

Shi Du hurriedly put her down and rolled to the side by himself.

Su Liuying stood up and was about to crash into another tree, when Shi Du suddenly knelt down in front of her and kowtowed.

"What are you doing here?" Su Liuying was startled, took a few steps back and asked.

"The villain will never dare to offend the girl, please don't seek death!" Shi Du whispered.

"And what are you going to do with me?"

"I wonder if the girl would like to hear the story below?" Shi Du said with a wry smile.

"Say it." Su Liuying saw that his expression was sad and his heart softened, so he agreed, paused, and added, "You stand up and speak." ”

"I have lied to the girl for so long, and I have made the girl angry, so I am here to make amends to the girl." Shi Du kowtowed a few more times before standing up.

Thinking back on his experience over the years, he had mixed feelings for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly:

"I was originally a disciple of the Tianying Sect of Jinling Mansion, and when I was a teenager, I devoted myself to martial arts, hoping to make a name for myself in the rivers and lakes and make a name for myself, but then I knew that I was wrong, martial arts is by no means the most beautiful thing in this world.

On a cruise, I met a woman on a painting boat, and since then, I have not been restless in tea and food, and I have no interest in even practicing. ”

Su Liuying knew that the woman he was talking about was probably herself, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Later, I couldn't help but feel lovesick, and I went to inquire, only to learn that she was a famous female oiran in Jinling, a well-known female poet, and there were countless people who pursued her, including many high-ranking officials and talents.

I knew that I was not worthy of her, so I stayed outside Tianyunfang every day, hoping that I could see her from afar when she passed by. ”

"Why are you doing this, in the eyes of many people, I am just a prostitute." Su Liuying said quietly.

"The girl is a heavenly immortal, whoever dares to blaspheme you, I will go and break his neck!" Shi Du was furious.

"Go on." Su Liuying shook her head and said.

Shi Du obeyed her, put away his anger, and continued:

"Later, I heard that the imperial court was at war with Fujian, so I went to join the army, hoping to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and be promoted to military attaché, so that I could marry her openly and honestly."

Su Liuying thought to herself: "Even if you really become an official, how can I marry you." ”

"It's a pity that I thought too simply, when I entered the barracks, I knew that it was difficult to become a high-grade military attaché, the battle was over, but I was still a small deputy head, so in a fit of anger, I went to the grass and changed my name to Shi Yanhong, I just hope to get the imperial court to recruit and ascend to the sky in one step!"

Speaking of this, his tiger eyes turned red, and he whispered: "After entering the grass, I gradually understand that even if I am really recruited by the imperial court, I am not qualified to pursue that woman anymore because I am covered in blood."

Originally, I was gradually dying, until I heard that you had come to Shexian, and I thought to myself that God must have taken pity on me and sent you to me, so I laid this out. ”

Su Liuying sighed in her heart, she has pursued many men in her life, and they also have their own different stories, although Shi Du's story makes her sympathetic, but it is no different from these people, she will not marry each other for this reason.

"Can you let me go?" Su Liuying asked tentatively.

Shi Du's face was struggling, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "I... I want to be there for you. ”

"Then you have to swear that you will not be rude to me!" Su Liuying wanted to reject him, but she was afraid that he would go crazy and violate herself.

Shi Du was overjoyed, and immediately made a poisonous oath, saying: "Don't worry, girl, I will never dare to blaspheme the girl." ”

"Then you can send me down."

Shi Du got what he wanted, thinking that he would be able to see Su Liuying every day in the future, and his chest was about to explode with excitement, as for how the cottage was, he no longer cared about it.

After walking a few steps, Su Liuying suddenly remembered the tragic death of Steward Wang, remembered the evil deeds he had heard from others about these bandits, and thought about taking the opportunity to escape, walking more and more slowly.

"Miss, can't you walk?" Shi Du asked, he claimed to be a subordinate, just to show his mind.

It's a pity that Su Liuying has made up her mind to escape, and said softly: "I'm thirsty, you go and fetch me some water." ”

Shi Du handed over the water bag, but Su Liuying didn't answer it, and said, "I want to drink fresh water." ”

"Wait a minute, young lady, I'll be back soon." As he spoke, he walked down a path.
