Chapter 8 The Spring Festival of the Four Seasons

There was not a cloud in the sky, the sun was blazing overhead, there was not a single wind, and all the trees stood listlessly and lazily. The sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that people couldn't breathe. However, the sun is poisoning, and it can't stop Cheng biting Jin's heart like an arrow.

He gently placed the old guy on his back under the tree, took out the wine and poured him two sips. After chatting with this old guy, Cheng Yanjin kindly invited him to live in his house for a few days, anyway, this old guy is now worried that there is no place to go, the free place to eat and drink in the prison has long been gone, and even the jailer has swept away.

Although he already believed in the words of this old man very much in his heart, what kind of person was he Cheng Biting Jin, expecting him to immediately kowtow to this guy who exuded the spirit of a king, don't even think about it! Grandpa Cheng didn't want to bring him home to get an ancestor back to offer, hum, grandpa still expects to fry some oil from this old guy! Carrying the old man, Cheng Yanjin thought proudly.

Originally, the matter had not been clarified yet, but he had been away from home for several months, although Qin Qiong's cousin had helped cover it up, but it had been so long, I was afraid that the old lady would have some suspicions. Besides, he misses his mother a lot, and he doesn't know if his mother has lost weight in the two months he has been away!

Carrying the old guy on his back, Cheng Yanjin strode towards home. After an hour, the mountains and rivers of my hometown are already faintly visible. When he came to the village, Cheng Yanjin put the old guy in the dilapidated temple at the entrance of the village and let him settle here temporarily. There's no way, it's strange that this old man doesn't frighten the old lady when he goes back like this, so he has to be wronged to stay here for a while.

Anyway, although this temple is dilapidated, the main hall is still intact, and it is best to shelter from the wind and rain. When he met Uncle Shi Zhixuan when he was a child, he placed his uncle here, and he rarely came here since his uncle left. Standing here after many years, even with his heartlessness and lungs, he can't help but sigh a little that the world is vast and unpredictable.

After placing the old guy, Cheng Yanjin went home. When he walked to the door, he saw a handsome young man with a tall figure, red lips and white teeth, and a handsome appearance. Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed when he saw it, and shouted from afar: "Cousin, cousin Qin Qiong!" I saw that the man turned around in surprise, and the look of joy on his face was overflowing, "Bite the gold, you can be regarded as back!" Hush! The old lady has just fallen asleep, don't raise your voice, be careful not to wake her up! ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the creak of the chai door behind me, and then I heard a trembling voice: "But bite the gold?" Not far away, Cheng Yanjin had already knelt down: "Mother, the child is not filial, let your old man worry about it!" "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Seeing his mother trembling and stroking her cheeks with her hands, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but have red eyes.

finally settled the emotional old lady to sleep, and Cheng Yanjin dragged his cousin to the side room to catch up with him. Looking at his cousin's enthusiasm as always, Cheng Yanjin's heart was full of indescribable joy.

It's strange to say, his cousin has been very withdrawn since he was a child, his father sent him to learn martial arts, and none of the many characters in the martial arts hall are familiar with him, but he is very close to him, a naughty and mischievous black-skinned boy since childhood. If it weren't for Cheng Yanjin knowing that he didn't like the tone of the rabbit master, he would have avoided it a long time ago.

After going back and forth with his cousin, the two were chatting about the excitement, but they heard Qin Qiong suddenly sigh, biting the gold strangely, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Cousin, what is so troublesome, isn't it that your cheap master suddenly returned to the west!" ”

"Nonsense, don't forget that that's also half of your master! If he hears it, you will have to suffer a meal of flesh and skin! "Then cousin, what are you sighing for, could it be that your master and his old man suddenly opened his mind and wanted your cousin to marry his daughter to add a house?"

"Nonsense!" Qin Qiong couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that this cousin was changing ways to make herself happy, so she said carefully: "The reason why I am worried is because when I was on duty under the marshal's tent a few days ago, I listened to the gossip of the officers in the tent and was disturbed, so I was uneasy. "Oh, but I don't know what the news is, it makes a person like you, cousin, restless?" Biting Jin's heart was surprised, and hurriedly asked.

"Alas! Since you want to know, I'll tell you, anyway, in a few days, the news should spread all over the world. You should know that I am serving under the account of General Laihu'er, who is a popular person in the court, and the military officials have frequent contacts with the capital, so they are also very well informed. A few days ago, a few colleagues from the capital had a private gathering, I was curious for a while, and I only thought that these people were afraid that they were going to change the law to embarrass my brother, so I sneaked over to listen to the corner of the wall, but I never wanted to hear a big secret! ”

Speaking of this, Qin Qiong lowered his voice: "Originally, after the succession to the throne, there were rumors in the capital, saying that the current throne was not right, and the former emperor died unclearly. A few days later, the news that the former abolished prince Yang Yong died without a problem came out, and there was chaos in the capital, and rumors spread for a while, only saying that it was when the son killed his father and brother today, and grabbed the unification. ”

Seeing Cheng biting Jin's gaping mouth, Qin Qiong continued: "Although this news is a bit shocking, I guess it's true. A year ago, General Hu'er secretly returned to Beijing, and when he left, he took away all the more than 5,000 soldiers of the personal guard battalion, and if I didn't want to take care of my aunt for you, I would have gone with me. Now that the general has not returned to the camp, there is news in the capital that the major battalions should be on close guard, and the clothes should not be untied, the horses should not be saddled, and they should respond at any time. At present, the people in the camp of the Quartet are panicking, and I am afraid that the news of the general's return to Beijing will not be hidden for long. When the news in the capital spreads all over the world, I am afraid that there will be another turmoil, and then the people of the world will be afraid that they will suffer again! With a long sigh, he picked up the bowl and drank it all.

Looking at the cousin who was drunk on the side, Cheng Biting Jin's heart was like numbness, the spicy mother's, the general trend is not good, there is still a big Bodhisattva in the broken temple at the head of the village, if he knows the news, he doesn't know how to make a fuss! If you cause a mess and are known by the spies of the court, the head on your neck and the little bite gold in your crotch will probably eat soil together.

Thinking about it, Cheng bit Jin's heart, go to the old killer now, anyway, this news can't be hidden, it's better to let him know as soon as possible, if the old guy doesn't make trouble for his grandfather, his grandfather will secretly raise this fat sheep. If he wants to make a fuss alive or dead, Grandpa Cheng is not a bodhisattva, so he will send this old guy and his father to the underworld members.

The plan was decided, Cheng Yanjin walked to the firewood room, took off the small axe from the beam, wiped the axe face of the tiger head and the crooked snake-tail-like axe handle, pinned it to the waist and went out of the door, and went straight to the broken temple at the head of the village.

Entering the temple gate, Cheng Yanjin, who showed his axe and was planning to scare the old guy, was taken aback when he saw the situation in the temple. I saw the old guy lying on the incense burner in front of the main hall, looking excited, bursting into tears, and muttering something in his mouth. Biting Jin was shocked, this old guy looked like he was hit and crazy, could he know the news in the capital so quickly! Let's go see him first, if he becomes a madman, grandpa won't raise a waste, save money and keep it for his wife!

After walking a few quick steps, Cheng Yanjin stretched out his arm and grabbed the old guy from the incense burner. But I never thought that the old guy was not happy, "Bastard, bastard, little rabbit cub let go, alas!" But Cheng Biting Jin was not polite when he heard his words, and his hands were a little stronger, "Hey, old guy, you are sober!" I scared my grandfather, I thought you were crazy! ”

"Phew! You're crazy, put me down! Looking at the old guy with teeth and claws in his hand, Cheng Biting Jin asked rhetorically, "Not crazy, not crazy, what are you making trouble lying on the broken incense burner?" Dancing gods! ”

"Phew, the little bastard who didn't know anything, what a broken incense burner, that's the 'Spring Festival' in the Four Seasons! Hahaha, it's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, Yuan Zhenren really didn't lie to me, this Jiuding really has one here! "After saying that, he was already like crazy.
