Shen Leng came out of Yuwen Xiaoce's residence, did not go back, but walked aimlessly on the street out of the county office, his mind was chaotic, his eyes were a little dazed and even a little panicked.

Shen Leng felt a little like he had escaped, and he didn't dare to face Yuwen Xiaoce's eyes again, Shen Leng hadn't done anything wrong, his panic was because he didn't want to recall the things that he couldn't help but come back to his mind after talking to Yuwen Xiaoce.

So clear.

Next to Yuscale Town is Dahe Town, only a few miles apart, although it is not affiliated with a county just a few miles away, but the people of the two villages have close contacts and many marriages.

Shen Leng knew why he was a little flustered, so he didn't want to think about it, but the more he didn't want to think about it, the more he couldn't help but think about it.

Meng Changan's mother is from Dahe Town, Yuwen's family and Meng Changan's mother's family are neighbors, both sides are rich people with solid backgrounds, and they get along very well on weekdays.

That winter, it snowed in Jiangnan Road, Xiao Shen Leng sat in the thatched hut and watched the sparse snowflakes fall, remembering that the storyteller who walked the streets and alleys said that Jiangnan Road had almost never seen snow, and the storyteller often said that there was a big grievance between the snowmen in June, but it was not June, but the cold winter wax moon, who would have thought that the wax moon and the snow, sometimes it was because of the grievances in the world.

Years ago, the business of the silk village was very busy, Yuwen's family bought a lot of goods from Boss Meng's house, during the day, Xiao Shen Leng and the guys hired by Boss Meng went to Yuwen's house to deliver goods together, Xiao Shen Leng also felt a little incredible, every time he delivered the goods, he pulled the car by himself, but this time Boss Meng hired someone, and he was glad that he was easier this time.

That day, the eldest man of the Yuwen family, that is, Yuwen Xiang, stood at the door, wearing a thick cotton coat and a red scarf around his neck, which was very bright, and it looked even more vivid in the snow.

Xiao Shen Leng also received a red envelope, he didn't know how much money was in that red envelope, because he was snatched away by the guy hired by Boss Meng not long after he got his hands on it, and he was slapped in the face.

When he was delivering goods to the warehouse of Yuwen's house, he heard those guys muttering that this is worthy of being the home of the richest man in Dahe Town, and it is really a deep mansion compound, and he also said to take a look and see how big the courtyard of this big family is.

At that time, of course Xiao Shen Leng wouldn't think about it, it was Boss Meng who asked him to talk.

Out of the gate of Yuwen's house, his red envelope was snatched away, he said this is mine, why should I give it to you, and he was slapped in the face, he is only nine years old, what can he do?

After the guys returned to Fish Scale Town, they followed Boss Meng to get their wages, Xiao Shen Leng naturally didn't, and went back to lie in the thatched hut, which was not difficult for him to accept, and he was used to it.

Meng Changan came out of the house when it was almost dark, he would come back every Spring Festival, wearing beautiful new clothes, he was born good-looking since he was a child, he was cute when he was a child, and he began to be heroic when he was older.

"Beaten?"

Xiao Meng Changan asked Shen Leng about his red and swollen face.

Shen sneered and nodded: "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't hurt." ”

"You're still laughing when you're beaten? Are you a fool?! Half of his face is swollen like that, and he says it doesn't hurt?! ”

Meng Changan glared at him fiercely: "I learned martial arts in the academy, and the gentleman who taught martial arts said that a man should not admit defeat, someone bullying you must not bear it, endure once, twice, or three times, and endure it has become a habit, and a man is not a man, but a coward." ”

Xiao Shen shook his head coldly: "You don't understand." ”

Meng Changan stomped his feet angrily, went up and gave Shen Leng a kick: "What do you mean I don't understand!" I knew that if I was bullied, I would fight back, I am bullying you now, and you will fight back! Xiao Shen asked coldly: "Don't they dare to beat you, and they don't dare to beat me?" ”

Meng Changan was stunned.

Xiao Shen sneered and said: "If I fight back, they will fight harder, I'm not a coward, I just don't think there's any need to be beaten more." ”

Meng Changan was silent for a while: "Why did they beat you?" ”

Xiao Shen said coldly: "The eldest master of the Yuwen family sent a red envelope, everyone has it, and I also have it, so they robbed me of the red envelope, I replenished it, and I was slapped in the face." ”

"What's so rare about that?"

Meng Changan took out a red envelope from his arms and threw it on Shen Leng's body: "I want as much as I want about this thing." ”

Shen Leng looked at the red envelope but didn't take it, still smiling.

"You take it back, Boss Meng will say that I stole you when he sees it, and it will inevitably be another beating."

"I don't!"

Meng Changan stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Mother! ”

Mrs. Meng hurriedly ran out of the house: "What's the matter, my precious son, what's wrong, who made you angry, isn't it stupid?" See I don't hit him. ”

"Don't hit him."

Xiao Meng Changan said loudly: "Silly Lengzi said, the eldest master of the Yuwen family has sent a lot of red envelopes, and I will send them when I see people, and I will send them too, you go and give me some red envelopes!" ”

Mrs. Meng said: "You are a child......

Before she could say the words later, she was interrupted by Xiao Meng Changan: "I don't care, I just want to send red envelopes, I just want to see who sends red envelopes to whom, I not only send them to people, but I also send them to cats and dogs, and no one is allowed to take them back, I sent them." ”

"Okay, good, you can send it when you say it."

Mrs. Meng hurriedly asked the little maid to go to some copper coins to put in the red envelope, Meng Changan took a pile of red envelopes, really to see who gave to whom, those little maids all divided one, and threw one in the rice bowl of the vicious dog tied in the yard, also threw it in the pigsty outside the door, threw it in the chicken coop, threw it in the stable, and then Meng Changan threw it to Shen Leng.

"What do you do with rare red envelopes given by others, this is what I sent, you take it for me, if I find that your red envelope is missing, I will beat you to death."

Meng Changan pinched his waist and said, then looked back at his mother: "Mother, if his red envelope is gone, I will really beat him to death." ”

Mrs. Meng hurriedly said: "He was picked up by your father to block you from evil, you can beat him casually, but you can't kill him." ”

"I don't!"

Meng Changan said loudly: "If his red envelope is gone, or someone snatches it, or he loses it himself, I will kill him, I don't care if I stop him or not, I must kill him!" ”

Mrs. Meng was taken aback, she didn't expect her son to be so angry, and hurriedly ordered no one to take away Xiao Shen Leng's red envelope.

After nightfall, Xiao Meng Changan came out with a pot of meat, and asked as he walked: "Mother, I don't like to eat meat, can I feed anything, pigs and dogs?" ”

His mother replied in the house, "If you don't eat, you can feed whatever you want." ”

Xiao Meng Changan put a pot of meat in the cold thatched hut: "Then I'll feed the stupid Lengzi, don't give it to the dog, and gluttony the dog." ”

Mrs. Meng laughed in the room.

A few days after this incident, Mrs. Meng came back from outside with a pale face, and when she saw Boss Meng feeding the birds in the yard, she was anxious, and went up to grab his clothes and asked loudly, "Is it you!" Isn't it you! ”

Boss Meng hurriedly dragged her into the house, and then Leng Zi heard the quarrel in the house, Mrs. Meng's angry scolding, and then the sound of crying.

At that time, Xiao Shen Leng didn't know why Mrs. Meng was so anxious and angry, and she didn't know what she meant when she asked Boss Meng if it was you.

Two days later, when Xiao Shen Leng went to Nanpingjiang Wharf to deliver goods, he learned that something big had happened in Dahe Town next door, and the kind Yuwen family was wiped out, and people said that they were robbed of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and none of the family was spared more than 100 people, even two or three-year-old children were not spared, and the water bandits cruelly disemboweled the child, saying that the smell of blood in Yuwen's house that day made people passing by vomit for a while.

Xiao Shen Leng was stunned for a long time after hearing the news, of course he was not familiar with the eldest master of the Yuwen family, but he just remembered the appearance of the man who was wearing a red scarf at the door and smiling kindly, giving everyone red envelopes.

At that time, Xiao Shen Leng only felt that anyone who was good to him should remember, and that year was also the first year that Mr. Shen came to Boss Meng's house to buy goods, and he also remembered Mr. Shen.

On the side of the Nanping River, Xiao Shen Leng followed the example of an adult, inserted three sticks of incense, and burned some paper money.

He didn't know what the words were said when the adults burned the paper money, but he felt that he should say a few words, and he held back a few words for a while...... May you be safe and free from calamity in the afterlife.

Three years later, Xiao Shen Leng was taken away by Mr. Shen and left Fish Scale Town, he knew that Boss Meng was Baili Tu, and he knew that the Yuwen family was destroyed by Boss Meng with people.

After he understood it, he recalled it again, and then remembered why Boss Meng's guys deliberately walked around the courtyard of Yuwen's house that day, and Yuwen's family was hospitable and friendly and didn't say anything.

Then Xiao Shen Leng understood again, why was Mrs. Meng so angry and angrily grabbed Boss Meng's clothes and asked him, is it you, is it you!

Yuwen Xiang has a good relationship with her father, the two of them call each other brothers, and for her, Yuwen Xiang is her uncle.

Why did Shen Leng firmly believe that his biological parents must have been killed by the bandits at that time? Because he knew at a very young age how cruel and fierce the bandits were.

Anseong County.

Shen Leng walked on the street, a little dazed, he didn't know how he walked into a teahouse, when he woke up, the young man was asking him what he needed, he ordered a pot of tea at random, and then asked: "Do you know Yuwen Xiaoce, the master of the county government?" ”

The young man smiled: "Of course I know, in our Ancheng County, who doesn't know the master?" That's a good person, and there is no one in the entire Ancheng County who doesn't say that the master is a good person. ”

Shen Leng asked, "Why?" ”

"Guest, I'll give you an example."

The young man said with a smile: "The year before last, there was a lonely old man's house in the East Village that was in disrepair, and the heavy snow collapsed the house in winter, and the village was reporting the news to the county government. ”

"Take our store as an example, our shopkeeper's old mother has asthma, and the master will bring medicine back every time he goes out, and he has not collected money, and our old lady is closer to the master than her own son."

The young man said: "Master has been in our Ancheng County for so many years, whoever has a problem at home, Master is the first to appear, and his meager salary is used to do good deeds, and he saves money." ”

The young man sighed: "The Liu butcher on the street said that the master can't buy meat from him twice a month, and every time he picks up the cheapest to buy, and buys very little, the Liu butcher can't look past it and wants to give it to him, but he doesn't accept it, saying that he is not sure to accept people's things." ”

"During the New Year's holidays, he has the most people in his house, but every time he hides out and is not at home, and he doesn't accept any gifts."

The young man said: "Master said, Ancheng County is his home, and everyone here is his relatives, if he doesn't help his relatives, who will he help?" ”

Shen Leng nodded and let out a long breath.
