Chapter 37: Cottages

The person who came was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, dressed a little hot, with a skirt that just covered her thighs, revealing her slender calves, with a long whip around her waist, and a handsome face, with a sly smile on her face, and she looked like a little pepper.

"Uncle Cao, when did I toss you" The little girl smiled even brighter, and when the old man heard her say this, he didn't dare to say anything.

Yang Ying looked at the little pepper and said calmly: "Girl, I bought this horse first, you see, the silver has been paid to the old man." ”

This little pepper glanced at Yang Ying a few times, and looked at it again from top to bottom, a rare trace of blush appeared on his face, and he didn't speak as big as he did just now, and said coquettishly: "Son, his name is Zheng Xiaoqing, my house is nearby, I won't rob this horse with you, can you send me home?" ”

Yang Ying raised his head and replied indifferently: "I still have something to do, I don't have time." ”

Zheng Xiaoqing was stunned, but he didn't expect some handsome big brothers in front of him to refuse so much, and then showed two cute little tiger teeth, and said fiercely: "If you don't go back with me, Uncle Cao will break his arms and legs when you leave!" ”

Yang Ying was a little strange about Zheng Xiaoqing's transformation, and never refused her request, relying on her martial arts, she was not afraid of what tricks she had, "Okay, I'll send you home when I pay first!" ”

Yang Ying handed the silver to the old man again, the old man's expression kept struggling, and he kept signaling something to Yang Ying's eyes, Zheng Xiaoqing saw the old man like this, and glared at him fiercely while Yang Ying was not paying attention, the old man's body trembled, and he quickly took Yang Ying's silver and lowered his head.

Yang Ying untied the rope and said to Zheng Xiaoqing: "Miss Zheng, let's go!" ”

"Oh, okay." After speaking, Zheng Xiaoqing jumped up and down to lead the way in front of Yang Ying.

After Yang Ying walked a few dozen feet, Cao Laohan raised his head, "Alas, Childe......" Speaking of this, he shook his head, showed a slight smile on his mouth, and muttered to himself: "I hope Childe treats Miss Xiaoqing well." ”

Passing through a forest, a rugged mountain road appeared in front of Yang Ying's eyes, "Childe, walk all the way from this road to my house"

Although Zheng Xiaoqing said this, Yang Ying was still vigilant, and the road became more and more remote, and there was no figure in sight, "Miss Zheng, how far is it!" ”

Zheng Xiaoqing replied a little shyly: "Childe, it's not far away, can Childe tell me your name?" ”

"Surname Yang, single name Ying"

"Oh, it turned out to be Yang Gongzi, Yang Ying, it's still very good! I don't know if there is anyone in Yang Gongzi's family who can marry a wife. ”

Yang Yinghu glanced at Zheng Xiaoqing suspiciously, how could she ask such a question, "There is only one wife in the next family." ”

Hearing that Yang Ying had married a wife, Zheng Xiaoqing showed displeasure on his face, and in an instant, he returned to his smiling face, and began to introduce the surrounding scenery to Yang Ying, and talked about his family.

From her mouth, Yang Ying learned that Zheng Xiaoqing also has an elder brother Zheng Xiaojie, whose parents died early, and she has been dependent on her brother since she was a child, and from her description of her brother, Yang Ying guessed that their brother and sister have a good relationship.

After walking another five or six miles, a village appeared in the mountains and forests, Zheng Xiaoqing pointed there, and said, "Young Master Yang, that is the village where I am." ”

Approaching the cottage, Yang Ying looked, isn't this a thief's nest? There are also four people guarding the door of the cottage, holding knives in their hands, bare arms, chest half-open, and hideous scars that seem to remind others, don't mess with me.

When these guards saw Zheng Xiaoqing, a flattering smile appeared on their faces, "The eldest lady is back." ”

"Well, you go and tell my brother, I found the person." As Zheng Xiaoqing's commanding words came out, the four guards didn't report immediately, looked at Yang Ying with a strange expression, and cast sympathetic looks.

Yang Ying was also quite strange when she saw it, and looked sideways at Zheng Xiaoqing, Zheng Xiaoqing no longer looked like everyone just now, revealing the hideousness that a mountain bandit leader should have, but showing such an expression from her handsome face, it was really interesting.

"Miss Zheng, what are you going to do?" Yang Ying said with a smile.

Facing Yang Ying's gentle smile, Zheng Xiaoqing's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Hmph, you'll know later." ”

"Why don't you come to greet Yang Gongzi soon." , The remaining three guards quickly ran to Yang Ying and stopped, and put up Yang Ying's two arms, "Young Master Yang, let's go!" ”

A doorman who looked like a monkey spirit monkey spirit patted the doorman who spoke, and said angrily: "What kind of eyes do you have, you will call me uncle in the future." Speaking of this, Zheng Xiaoqing showed a flattering smile and flattered: "Yes, eldest miss." ”

"Well, two monkeys, you still have eyes." Zheng Xiaoqing was naturally very satisfied with the words of the second monkey, "Next time, I will definitely find a good girl for you." ”

Hearing Zheng Xiaoqing's reward, the second monkey couldn't help but turn pale when he thought of the wife that the eldest lady had found for her companions before, and the other two guards also echoed: "The eldest lady is right, you must find a good wife for the second monkey." After saying that, he laughed, his eyes full of sympathy.

"Little sister, you're messing around again" A tough voice came, Yang Ying looked up, and a masculine man walked out.

I saw that his body was mighty, his appearance was dignified and handsome, his demeanor was generous, his eyes were shining like stars in a cold night, and his two eyebrows were as black as if they had been painted.

The man approached, and Zheng Xiaoqing said to Yang Ying: "Young Master Yang, this is my brother Zheng Xiaojie." After finishing speaking, beside Zheng Xiaojie on the small runway, he hugged his arm and whispered: "Brother, this is the Yang Ying Yang Gongzi I brought back." After finishing speaking, he buried his head in Zheng Xiaojie's arm.

Zheng Xiaojie patted Zheng Xiaoqing's head lightly, and said with relief: "My family Xiaoqing has grown up. After speaking, he stared at Yang Ying with a faint smile.

Yang Ying felt Zheng Xiaojie's scrutinizing gaze, and also looked at him, Zheng Xiaojie is in his thirties, first-class mid-stage, and he can be regarded as a leader, but he is only a bandit and it is really not easy to practice to such a level.

And Zheng Xiaojie is not as weak as Zheng Xiaoqing, he feels a burst of coercion from Yang Ying, although he can also see that Yang Ying is a first-class late stage, but it gives people an unfathomable feeling that he is not his opponent.

He knew that his sister had provoked someone who couldn't be offended, but when he saw that Yang Ying didn't have any displeasure on his face, he knew that the other party didn't care about his sister's mistakes. hurriedly smiled and said: "It turned out to be Yang Gongzi, I hope I don't care, my sister is naughty." ”

"How so!" Yang Ying said calmly.

"Big brother, the person I'm looking for is still satisfied!" Zheng Xiaoqing obviously didn't see the situation clearly.

Zheng Xiaojie said with a wry smile: "Satisfied, I'm afraid that he will not be satisfied with you." ”

In Zheng Xiaoqing's eyes, Yang Ying is a rich man who has no power to tie the chicken, "Hmph, he dares!" Zheng Xiaoqing said this, which startled Zheng Xiaojie, and hurriedly whispered a few words in Zheng Xiaoqing's ear.

Zheng Xiaoqing glanced at Yang Ying in fear, and found that he was indifferent, so he let go of his bewareness. But I didn't dare to be as presumptuous as before, and followed closely behind Zheng Xiaojie, like a very good girl.

Yang Ying's performance was not arrogant or impatient, Zheng Xiaojie couldn't help but have a heart of friendship, and secretly wondered, not to mention whether he had a background or not, with his talent, he would at least be a grandmaster in the future, which would be of great help to him, and if his sister was with him, he would also have a good home, so he immediately invited: "Young Master Yang, since you have come to our cottage, why not visit?" ”

Zheng Xiaojie's plan Yang Ying can also guess a few points, so that the win-win situation is naturally satisfied with both parties, so they readily agreed.

Entering the cottage, the scene in front of Yang Ying brightened, the houses in the village were arranged in an orderly manner, the old people were chatting and chatting in the shade of the trees, and the seven or eight-year-old children were holding wooden poles higher than themselves, "drinking and drinking" to practice martial arts, and the two naked men next to them pointed and pointed, and the peasant women walked out of the fields with hoes and humming a small tune.

Yang Ying looked at the residents of the cottage who could live and work in peace and contentment, with a surprised expression on her face, and sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Zheng to have a hand in governance!" ”

Zheng Xiaojie noticed Yang Ying's expression, his face was full of pride, this was the result of the efforts of their ancestors, and explained: "Hehe, it's not the result of me alone, our ancestors have lived here for more than 100 years, each generation of young people practice martial arts, men practice martial arts to protect their homes, and women are strong and can do more farm work to make a living." ”

Then he said in a deep voice: "Our village has the blood and sacrifice of our companions every year, but every year there is a new blood inflow, never stopping, in order to have a peaceful place to live in this troubled world. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Xiaoqing followed behind and sobbed quietly, Zheng Xiaojie stopped, gently rubbed her hair bun, her eyes showed a sad color, and continued: "My parents were the owners of the previous generation, and they both died in battle more than ten years ago, that is, Xiaoqing was only seven or eight years old, in the blink of an eye, now I am also elected as the owner of the village, heh"

Yang Ying also felt the same way, it has always been the predecessors who planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade and comforted: "Hehe, it will definitely change in the future, and it will definitely be better in the future!" ”

Zheng Xiaojie listened to Yang Ying's words, raised his head and looked into the distance, and muttered, "It will get better in the future, will it really get better in the future?" After speaking, he seemed to laugh twice, "It's not about seeing who is the emperor, who is the emperor is not the same, there is only power in his eyes, when did he care about the people at the bottom." ”

After listening to Zheng Xiaojie's complaints, Yang Ying was speechless, silent for a moment, and said demagoguously: "It's okay for us to be emperors ourselves." As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Ying immediately felt that what she said was too abrupt.

"Hehe" Zheng Xiaojie looked at Yang Ying playfully, "Yang Gongzi's ambition is not small!" ”

The words have come out, Yang Ying doesn't want to be underestimated, she has always tried her best to hide her ambitions, and she is afraid that people will say that the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, so she no longer forbears at this moment, and exclaimed, "The prince and the general, rather have a kind."

After speaking, I felt that my heart was smooth, my whole body was comfortable, and I actually stepped into the first-class peak.

The Zheng brothers and sisters were first surprised by Yang Ying's words, and then shocked, it was so easy to step into the top of the first-class peak, and it was only one step for the next Grandmaster.

Zheng Xiaojie was more determined in his thoughts, glanced at his sister, and just as Zheng Xiaoqing also looked at him, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other for a moment, Zheng Xiaoqing seemed to understand what his brother meant, peeked at Yang Ying, and punched Zheng Xiaojie lightly, and quickly lowered his head.

Zheng Xiaojie laughed twice, waking Yang Ying up from the joy of promotion, Yang Ying looked at the performance of the two siblings, and didn't know why.

Seeing Yang Ying's puzzled face, Zheng Xiaojie smiled silently, and after a while, he laughed and said: "Congratulations to Brother Yang for stepping into the first-class peak, how can there be such a happy event without wine." ”

Then he shouted: "Xiaoqing, go and let Uncle Zhong prepare wine and food, and everyone celebrates." ”

Yang Ying originally wanted to win over the cottage people, so naturally he would not let go of this opportunity, "Then thank you Brother Zheng!" ”
