Chapter 1: The Winter Solstice (7A)

"Master seems to be dissatisfied with me!" Cheng Mingzhen was shocked and thought to himself. Before he could figure out what he had done wrong today, Li Laojiu's cry had already sounded in the room like a mournful concubine, "Old fairy, you can call the shots for me." All the treasures, all the treasures were robbed by others. Your share, Brother Cheng's share, and mine, they didn't leave me at all. I dug a big hole day and night, and I dug a big hole day and night, and finally I dug the hole so that I could get into it......"

"Who robbed it, is it Zhang Jin's minions?" The old blind man sat on the bed as if he had changed people, not angry but mighty.

This kind of official prestige Cheng Mingzhen has also felt in Lin County Ling. It's just that the majesty on the back body is like a firefly seeing the light of day compared to the master, and it is not on the same level at all. Barely suppressing the surprise in his heart, he held his breath and listened carefully to Li Laojiu's response. But when he heard the other party's snot and tears, he complained, "No, it's not Brother Cheng's subordinates." Brother Cheng's subordinates knew that I didn't make things difficult for Brother Cheng in prison, so they didn't embarrass me too much. It's another group of men in black, all with their faces covered! ”

"There's a cyan ribbon around your waist, right?!" As if he had expected this, the old blind man asked without question.

Li Laojiu was taken aback, and when he thought about it, he didn't think it was strange that the other party was an iron-mouthed god. He wiped his snot and whispered, "That's them." That's them. All of them are fierce and vicious. I've given up resisting, and they're still chasing after me. Fortunately, Brother Cheng's people rushed to hear the news, so I took the opportunity to choose a life! ”

"As I said a long time ago, tell you not to be too greedy. You don't have so much wealth in your life, but too much will invite trouble! The old blind man raised his hand and commented indifferently. It's as if all that's lost is a few copper plates, and it's not worth much attention at all.

"But, but your old share, Brother Cheng's share......" Li Laojiu couldn't find anyone to support him, and he was disappointed. Muttered with red eyes.

The old blind man smiled and shook his head, "Go ahead." If you have the opportunity in the future, I will help you find another way to make money. This money is not destined to be earned by you, and losing it will be a blessing for you! ”

"But, but ......" Li Laojiu was very unwilling. But thinking that at this moment, there was no handle in his hand to coerce Cheng Mingzhen to send his minions to open his eyes for him, so he had to swallow and spit and slowly got up from the ground.

"Is the child's illness better?" The old blind man asked with a smile.

"It's better!" Li Laojiu didn't expect that the other party didn't care about Wanguan's windfall, but cared about his son. The resentment in his heart decreased slightly, and he responded in a low voice.

"Remember to hug him in the sun more. Sunlight is the foundation of all things, and it is the most important thing to drive away evil spirits! Nodding, the old blind man continued to command. Go back quickly, it's cold. Everyone in the family is worried about you! Human life is always more important than money. ”

"Thank you, old immortal!" Li Laojiu realized something, and bowed down again.

Seeing his back disappear, Duan Blind shook his head and sighed softly. Squinted his eyes and swept Cheng Mingzhen, wanting to say something, but he couldn't help it. He took out a book from the cabinet and reclined on the bed to read it.

As a result, Cheng Mingzhen became more and more panicked. Standing beside the master with his head down, he didn't dare to take a breath. Seeing his pitiful face, the old blind man couldn't help but put down his book and asked with a smile, "What kind of bear is it?" Where is the majesty of the command just now? Does it feel good to be a calculator? Don't you think it's going to be easy? ”

"Disciple, the disciple knows that he is wrong, please punish the master!" In Cheng Mingzhen's heart, this master, who has just known him for a short time, is like a father, and he doesn't dare to contradict him no matter what. I just hope that the other party will be angry, and don't treat yourself so coldly.

"What did you do wrong?" Duan Blind shook his head with a smile, "You won't know what you're wrong with at all?" ”

"If the master points it out, the disciple will definitely know and change it!" Although he was at a loss, Cheng Mingzhen was flattered with a smiling face.

"You!" Duan Blind put away his smile, looked into his eyes and asked, "Do you hate these people?" If you hate them, you will take revenge, and you don't have the slightest conscience. So let them all die to be happy, and for this reason, they will not hesitate to pay for the lives of the whole city? ”

"Disciple, disciple ......" Cheng Mingzhen didn't dare to meet the master's gaze, and lowered his head to defend himself, "The disciple has already told Zhang Jincheng to let him try not to hurt the people." The disciple and his sworn brother are fake, since he has killed at the gate of Guantao County this time, there is no reason not to enter the city! ”

"Therefore you have avenged you by his hand. The husband has clear grievances, but it's not a mistake? As for the things that can't be managed, just pretend you can't see them! The old blind man's eyes were like torches, and Cheng Mingzhen just wanted to escape.

The letter he wrote to Zhang Jincheng after the banquet really only played a role in allowing Zhang Jincheng to enter the city smoothly. Zhang Jin, who had been fooled once, said that he would not be deceived for the second time for the same reason, while Lin Xianling and others thought that they would have three days as a buffer and would not carefully arrange defenses, which just gave the rogues an opportunity to take advantage of.

These conspiracies and tricks can hide from Lin Deen and others, but they can't hide from the old blind man. The old man's life experience and wisdom are far from being comparable to the corrupt officials in the land of bullets, and with just a swipe, he found countless hints from Cheng Mingzhen to Zhang Jincheng between the lines. Out of the maintenance of his disciples, the old man did not do it on the spot. Later, he was very disappointed in Cheng Mingzhen, and even wondered if he had accepted the wrong apprentice again.

Cheng Mingzhen replied to Master's words speechlessly, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became solemn again. Fortunately, a few little girls had already arrived with bath water and broke the silence for the time being.

In front of outsiders, the old blind man immediately became the appearance of being at ease with what he encountered. didn't ask Cheng Mingzhen to avoid it, and was served by the little girls to take off their clothes and take a bath.

He must have been over forty years old, but his skin was as smooth as a teenager. Several little girls have been touched by Lin County's order, and they have seen what is rich and noble. Compared with the two, Lin County's body that is nourished with bird's nest ginseng every day is not as delicate as that of this old prisoner. At the moment, I was curious, and while helping the old man rub his back and shoulders, he squeaked and asked him about the secret method of health preservation. The old blind man could let go, and closed his eyes to enjoy himself. occasionally responded with a few words, but it was half funny, half serious, and teased a few little girls with red faces. If it weren't for Cheng Mingzhen carefully sitting next to him, he would have been eager to immediately carry the old blind man to the bed and "swallow" it into his stomach inch by inch.

"Locked up in prison all day without seeing the sun, naturally covered white. Every day you wipe your faces with mare's milk and flour. For a month in a row, it will be as white as a half-year-old baby! After changing into clean clothes, the old blind man finally gave the women a practical remedy.

"We, we don't have that much money for mare's milk. The lord will not allow us to waste flour! The little girls stuck out their tongues and whispered.

is also a servant, but the old blind man does not disgust them. Instead, like a self-parent, I can't help but want to be coquettish with him. The old blind man pinched the nose of the girl closest to him, and said with a smile: "Eat less, and you will save flour." How much is flour worth? At least cheaper than rouge gouache. If there is no mare's milk, it is also possible to boil the juice with the dregs left over from brewing. It's just that the taste is worse, and you have to wash it carefully afterwards! ”

Distiller's lees are only used to feed livestock in the people, and there are livestock sheds in the yamen. The little girls glanced at each other, and they were eager to try it according to the old blind man's recipe at once. The old blind man was so old that he couldn't see the thoughts of the little girls, so he smiled and waved his hand, and commanded, "After pouring out the water, you can rest." If there is anything, I will send someone to call you. By the way, call someone to remove the bathtub. In the middle of the room, look at this weird awkwardness! ”

"Thank you for being old!" The little girls cheered and walked away. After a while, several family members entered the door and carried away the bath tub. As soon as the door slammed, the whole world was shut out again. Cheng Mingzhen walked a few steps quickly and leaned in front of the master who closed his eyes and recuperated, fell to his knees with a thud, and pleaded in a low voice: "The disciple knows that he is wrong. Please don't be angry, Master. The disciple reminded Lin County to defend the city after a while, and he would definitely not let Zhang Jincheng easily break through the city wall! ”

"That's it! With your own strength, how can you save the entire pavilion. Besides, in this situation like this, how could Lin County Ling rest assured that he would hand over Xiangyong to your command? It's Master who pushes you too hard and doesn't take your situation into account. You don't have to blame yourself. But henceforth remember that hatred will not bring you any joy! In case the mind is blinded by hatred, it will only lead itself to a dead end. ”

"Thank you for your teachings!" Cheng Mingzhen kowtowed again and responded in a low voice. He couldn't understand the old blind man's words at all, but he forced himself to enshrine them as a golden rule.

"Get up, get up. If you haven't experienced it, you won't understand. The old blind man touched his head lovingly, and his face was full of pity. You can take revenge while trying to hurt the innocent as little as possible. It's much stronger than a few of your senior brothers. Master doesn't blame you anymore. You're still young after all! ”

After saying this, he seemed to remember something again. The gaze softened. Cheng Mingzhen slowly stood up and tiptoed to pour tea for the master. Before he could reach the table where the teacup was placed, he suddenly heard the old blind man sigh again, and said quietly: "In the clothes I have changed, there is a map, so I will give it to you!" There are a number of treasures hidden in it, you can take some out in the future, do big things, or be a rich man, at least you don't have to be stumped by money! It's right in ......."

"The disciple will accompany the master to find it!" Cheng Mingzhen heard that the old blind man's tone was wrong, so he hurriedly ran back to the side of Hu's bed, pulled the old blind man's arm and swore by the arm, "As long as the disciple has something to eat in the future, there will be no shortage of master." If you have a piece of clothing, you will never let the master get frozen. If the disciple can't do it, I'd rather ...... the heavens."

"You don't have to swear!" The old blind man glanced at him and sighed softly, "Our master-apprentice fate is over!" It is impossible to meet again in the future! ”
