Chapter 4: Red Dust (Mikami)

As his physical strength gradually recovered, the lakeside cottage that Cheng Mingzhen used to recuperate his injuries gradually lost its former peace. The five masters Hao Laodao, the second master Xue Song and other village owners who had a relationship with each other before often came to visit him, and by the way, they checked his strength to see if he really had the ability to compete with Liu Zhao'an, the eighth master. Similarly, the thieves Wang Dangren and Yang Gongqing, who live here, often go together, sending wine and meat to enhance their feelings with each other.

Liu Zhaoan, the eighth-master, is obviously very unpopular in Zedi. Although Hao Laodao and Xue Song did not explicitly express their intention to support Cheng Mingzhen, they secretly took the opportunity of chatting to reveal the habits of the eight masters and the number of martial arts. And Wang Dangren and Yang Gongqing hated Liu Zhaoan to the core. not only scolded this person behind his back, but also faintly hinted that Cheng Mingzhen would not be able to beat the surname Liu for a month, and the two would have a generous gift.

"I was also squeezed by the eight masters that day, and I really couldn't get off the stage, how could I really win against him. Now that things have come to this point, it's just a matter of trying our best not to lose too ugly! Cheng Mingzhen scratched his scalp with a smile, his face full of embarrassment.

He was cowardly before he fought here, but he disappointed everyone. When Hao Laodao, Xue Song and the others heard this, they immediately turned cold, and after dealing with a few words casually, they threw away their sleeves. Wang Dangren retorted loudly, believing that the more Cheng Mingzhen tolerated him, the more he would have no place in Julu Ze in the future. Moreover, the big boss Zhang Jin said that since he did not open his mouth to stop it, he tacitly acquiesced in the legitimacy of this competition. There is a way that there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and they dare not win the battle that should be won, and that is the grandson of the egg-cowardly turtle.

Regarding Wang Dangren's scolding, Cheng Mingzhen also had a prepared rhetoric, "Besides, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and he does it with the eighth master in Julu Zezhong, Zhang Da Dang did not open his mouth to reprimand, he has already given Xiao Ke face." How can Xiao Ke not know what to do, he has to step on his nose and climb to his face! ”

"I, I'm ......" Wang Dangren was so angry that he trembled, if it weren't for Cheng Mingzhen's state of recovery from serious injuries, he couldn't wait to grab the other party's neck and strangle him to death.

Contrary to Wang Dangren's violent temper, Yang Gongqing can somewhat understand Cheng Mingzhen's concerns. "Brother Cheng's words make sense, after all, we are guests here!" He grabbed the angry Wang Dangren and persuaded in a low voice, "If you bully the master as a guest, you will inevitably be slapped in the face of the big boss." If the brothers keep their hands everywhere in the arena, they will be seen as an insult to the master. Even if no one can see it......"

Speaking of this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the busy sister-in-law of Ji Lian outside, "Afterwards, the Du family will definitely be disappointed in Brother Cheng!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey. Juan Zi, Du Dangjia's side, I explained to her slowly in private! Cheng Mingzhen scratched his scalp a few more times, and his face revealed a look of shame and happiness. Presumably she doesn't want me to get into a lot of trouble when I first arrive, as for a little false name, as long as the two of us look down on it, no matter what others say! ”

"You ......" Wang Dangren couldn't bear it anymore, slapped it on the table, and almost slapped the dilapidated wooden table on the spot. Seeing this, Yang Gongqing hurriedly pulled his sleeve, smiled and continued to explain, "Brother Cheng is right, as long as the two of them understand each other's thoughts, why should they be afraid of outsiders gossiping." We've had a lot of fun! It's good if it's really so, at least so that everyone won't be embarrassed! ”

Hum! Wang Dangren pouted and sneered. I can't get used to Cheng Mingzhen's behavior of only pleasing women and not half of men's responsibilities. But the young couple is willing, and he is really not qualified to be an outsider to take care of this idle matter. glared at Cheng Mingzhen fiercely, shook his head, and left with a long sigh.

"Brother Wang is this straight character!" Yang Gongqing hurriedly apologized to Cheng Mingzhen, "Don't worry about him." I'll catch up and talk to him, and he should understand your struggle. ”

After that, he winked at Cheng Mingzhen knowingly, and turned around to catch up with Wang Dangren's footsteps!

Knowing that he was despised by others, Cheng Mingzhen didn't explain much, and went out with a fishing rod to continue to live his leisurely life. Walking to the entrance of the courtyard, Sister-in-law Lian, who had been paying attention to the movement in the house, quickly chased after her, grabbed the corner of Cheng Mingzhen's clothes, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't be deceived by the surname Yang, he and the surname Wang are not good things!" Eighty percent is here for the surname Liu! ”

"I know this!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and nodded. Only by speaking directly to Sister-in-law Lian can he temporarily let down the guard in his heart. "I lied to them just now, but they are also quite shrewd and not fooled at all!"

"You clever ghost!" Sister-in-law Lian smiled and let go of her fingers, "On the juan side, you will really tell her like you did just now?" ”

"Isn't this to anger the surnamed Liu!" This time, Cheng Mingzhen's face seemed to be really red, "I've told you many times, I've been engaged." Juan Zi is such a good girl, you can't make me small. Besides, I am a poor family, how can I afford to support two mothers-in-law! ”

"That's just as well!" Sister-in-law Lian shook her head regretfully. After nearly two months of contact, she has a very in-depth understanding of the character and family background of young people. As soon as the sense of mystery and estrangement between each other is gone, she can put herself in Cheng Mingzhen's shoes and think about it. put herself in the other party's point of view, and never dared to accept the enthusiasm of the cuckoo. Although that enthusiasm is as soft as water, even the ice in the thousand-year-old well can melt away.

Poor family, there is an old lady above. The daughter-in-law is from the novel, and she has been playing together since she was two or three years old. Even when the young man is at his most down, he doesn't plan to climb any high branches. If Cheng Mingzhen abandons the former alliance for the sake of the cuckoo, then he is the real turtle bastard! Sister-in-law Lian was not only unwilling to serve him, but also had to find an opportunity to drug his food, poisoning him to the point that he could not be humane to relieve his hatred!

But in this way, the cuckoo's mind was completely in vain. Anyway, she is also the seventh master of Juluze, a famous jade-faced rakshasa in Hebei Green Forest Road. You can't rush to be a concubine, right? Even if she didn't feel wronged, the owners of the big and small villages in this giant deer Zezhong, and the seven aunts and eight aunts couldn't stand being humiliated like this.

For this kind of matter between a little boy and a little girl, Sister-in-law Lian, who is a passerby, also has a high opinion. Who hasn't been young! The wild apricot trees in the cracks of the stones can occasionally bloom a few small flowers! Spring is always short-lived, slowly boiled up, and slowly passed. There is always a time when the petals will fall to the ground, and the days will still pass, and whether the apricots are sweet or sour, only those who taste them will know.

"Then pay attention to yourself, the weather is getting cold, try not to drip water!" Straightened the young man's clothes and scarves, and Sister-in-law Lian told with concern. Although he is recuperating from his injuries, Cheng Mingzhen is still growing taller. Two months ago, her shoulders could be pressed under the other's armpits, but now, she had to rub her feet slightly to straighten the other's hair.

"Don't let the cuckoo know what you said just now!" Cheng Mingzhen lowered his head and whispered to Sister-in-law Lian to keep it secret. "There are still some lotus roots she sent yesterday, if I can catch a bigger fish, let's just cook soup tonight!"

"Hmm!" Sister-in-law Lian agreed, turned around and continued to take care of her chicks. This courtyard, because of Cheng Mingzhen's arrival, has added a lot of vitality. Deep down, she has gradually developed a little dependence on young people and a little nostalgia. is like a married sister who treats her own brother, although she knows that the two sides are no longer the same surname, but there is a vague connection that is constantly parted.

"If only the two of them were really my younger siblings!" When alone, a kind woman can't help but think secretly. Immediately, she pinched herself hard again, allowing herself to return to reality from the dream. The cuckoo is the seventh master of Juluze, and it is open high on the top of the mountain, which is not something that a hard-working person like her can afford. And Cheng Mingzhen, who is gradually moving away, Sister-in-law Lian can clearly see his back, but she can't see the direction of the young man clearly. Perhaps, Sun Huozi's conclusions based on physiognomy are reasonable. Sister-in-law Lian heard this sentence more than once, and at first she was very unimpressed, but now she thinks it is more and more appropriate

"He's a natural creation, I'm afraid Julu Zeli won't be able to keep him at all!" This is also the real reason why after Sun Huozi re-diagnosed the young man's pulse that day, he did not allow Sister-in-law Lian to reveal who changed the dressing for the young man when he was in a coma. There are a few sentences that are said specifically to the cuckoo, and it makes people feel bitter every time they think about it.

"Kid, stop it. You're not blessed. If you really keep up with him, you will be wronged all your life, and you may not be able to get any good results in the end! That night, facing the angry cuckoo, Ju Yezawa's most clever Sun Huozi said.
