Chapter 294: The Story
Kou Daogu has two personal servants, who are not very old, and their appearance is not good, like two brothers, they rarely speak, and the master orders them to do it immediately, never asking more or delaying, and usually silently guards nearby, like two down-to-earth mules, without attracting attention.
It wasn't until they were "selected" by Feng Juniang that many scholars discovered for the first time that Mr. Kou actually had two retinues.
The two servants glanced at each other, looked away, refused to look at Feng Juniang, and refused to respond.
Kou Daogu sneered as usual, "Madam Feng is really good at picking opponents, but unfortunately, they can't speak and can't argue with you." β
The two servants were so inconspicuous that no one remembered whether they had ever spoken.
Feng Juniang refused to give up, "It's okay, the avenue is wide, it can accommodate all living beings in the world, the two of them are human beings after all, they can't speak, and they are also the spirits of all things, so they can be discussed." β
"Hey." Kou Daogu didn't say anything, and seemed to acquiesce to the challenge.
Feng Juniang smiled, "I can't speak, but I can understand and write?" β
The two servants hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads at the same time.
"Well, I can't speak or write, Mr. Kou is really different, and he picked two good servants. Can make gestures? β
The two servants could no longer deny it and nodded.
"What a coincidence, I have a husband who is mute, I have learned hand gestures with him for a few days, I wonder if the rules of Qinzhou and Jizhou are the same?"
Feng Juniang really made a few gestures, and the two servants had to look at each other before responding every time, and this time was no exception, shaking their heads at the same time.
"Do you not understand, or do you not know?"
A servant made a gesture, and Kou Daogu explained for him: "I don't understand. β
"Well, presumably the gestures also have dialects - it's okay, Mr. Kou can speak for you, that's enough, but you can't speak, so let me ask questions." Feng Juniang thought for a while and said with a smile: "I can't ask too profound questions, it's better like this, I'll tell a story, whether it's true or not, but this story has always puzzled me, but I can't tell what I don't understand, maybe someone can help me refine the problem." β
Feng Juniang turned to the onlookers and scholars, turned her back to Kou Daogu, turned sideways towards the two servants, very close to them, and reached out, "Whether he is my third or fourth husband, I won't say his name, he is already a dead man anyway." He used to be a butcher, specializing in killing pigs and sheep, and after joining the Descendant Army, killing people was as sharp as killing livestock, so he soon became the leader and got the title of 'Heavenly General'. Don't be fooled by this name, there are many similar generals in the Incarnation Army. β
Finding that the topic was a little far off, Feng Juniang smiled apologetically, "My husband has great strength and is rude, and he always carries a sharp knife to kill pigs, and his favorite sentence is 'Beware of Lao Tzu bleeding you'." β
Feng Juniang imitated the man's rough voice, although it was not like it, but it added a bit of charm, and then she sighed, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her eyes were crystal clear, as if tears were about to come out, "You can imagine what kind of life I live when I am forced to marry such a husband." β
Her tone and expression touched everyone, and she only mentioned the identity of her husband without mentioning any specific examples, which made almost everyone hate this lucky and shameless butcher.
He said that the sharp knife in his hand is a priceless treasure, and what gold and silver can't buy, the sharp knife can be bought. After being favored by him, my husband at the time died inexplicably within a few days, he was the first to hear the news, the first to break into the room, and said to me: 'Ju Niang, since the first time I saw you little girl, I have been itching in my heart, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well. Finally, God treats me well, give me this opportunity, your husband is dead, you are my woman from today onwards, come, give me relief from my itch. ββ
The crowd was silent, with mixed feelings in their hearts, hating and envy the butcher, sympathizing and despising Feng Juniang, and at the same time a little itchy in their hearts.
Feng Juniang seemed to forget that there was a large group of people around her, completely immersed in her own memories, tears slowly dripped down, her body trembled slightly, and her voice was like whispering in a dream: "I have been with him for three months, and it is difficult to say a word, it is difficult to say a word, and I still have the scars left by him on my body." β
"It's better for such bastards to die sooner rather than later." Someone shouted.
Feng Juniang's tears were still on her face, and she barely squeezed out a smile, "Thank you for this son's righteous words......"
Not everyone is fascinated by her, at least some people can break free, Yan Wei is one of them, "Mrs. Feng said this, what does it have to do with the Tao?" β
"It's a big deal, please be patient with Yan Gongzi and listen to me."
Yan snorted slightly, and seeing that no one echoed him, he didn't say any more.
Feng Juniang turned her head slightly and glanced at the two servants, "Can you two still understand?" β
The two servants nodded stiffly.
Feng Juniang smiled slightly again, and continued: "Three months, fortunately, the hard days are only three months, my husband was hit by a cold arrow when he was fighting with officers and soldiers, it is said that he killed more than 100 officers and soldiers before he died, of course, I didn't see it in person, and I didn't believe it very much, but some people said that he kept shouting the word 'bloodletting' before he died, and I believed it." β
Feng Juniang's gaze swept over everyone, and all she saw was sympathy, but she showed a slightly bitter smile, "After him, I have married many people, and every time I marry, I am confused. β
"Don't understand what?" An Chongqian asked, his voice so gentle that no one else was around.
"Why...... I always miss that butcher? Especially on the first night of the wedding, it was always when I missed him the most, the vicious energy when he said 'bloodletting', and ...... Other. β
Everyone was stunned.
Feng Juniang turned around on the spot, facing the two servants, so close to them that her breath could spray directly on each other's faces, and then said in a very slight voice: "Look, this is the person I will never forget, direct, strong, energetic, and the opposite of you everywhere." β
Feng Juniang turned around again and walked towards the valley.
The two servants' faces were as red as blood, and suddenly they roared at the same time, and one of them said, "Cheap woman! Another human: "Shameless slut! Then he rushed forward at the same time, his arms wide open, like a wolf.
Kou Daogu's two servants were able to speak, and behaved out of shape, the surrounding scholars were all shocked, although they were confused by Feng Juniang's last few words of "missing", but they still had sympathy in their hearts, so they stopped talking, a little far away, too late to stop.
Feng Juniang wanted to provoke these two people, she succeeded, but she was too successful, putting herself in danger, only moving her mouth, she can fight a hundred against one - as long as this "hundred" is a man, if she does it, she is no different from ordinary women, she has no power to fight back, she will only lose her face.
It is not often that things are done to save beauty, but today it happened in front of a group of scholars.
Someone came out of the crowd, and before the two servants pounced, they had already strode closer, as if they had already guessed from their expressions that the two men were about to make a move, and the movement was very fast, and they came close in three or two steps, and grabbed one of the wrists of the two servants respectively, and pushed them ten steps away.
Feng Juniang hurriedly fled to Chang Yanzhi and the others, nodded to the person who rescued her, and then smiled at Kou Daogu: "I can't understand the sign language of the servant, please ask Mr. Kou to explain it on my behalf." And they can talk, is it my story that works miracles? β
For the first time, he was dragged back to the mundane world, a world he stern and despised, and he was accidentally covered in muddy water, and he even forgot how to shake it off in order to regain his clean body.
"Why didn't you two talk before?" An Chongqian asked, still in awe of Kou Daogu, but not in favor of the two servants.
The two servants panicked, and in their eyes when they looked at Feng Juniang, they were still vicious and greedy, even scholars who had a little experience could see that they not only hated Mrs. Feng, but also had evil desires.
The two servants glanced at the person who had just pushed them away, did not dare to step forward to provoke, did not answer the questions of the scholars, glanced at the master, suddenly turned around and ran, squeezed away the crowd, and refused to speak again.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and gradually, the eyes of all the scholars focused on Kou Daogu, after all, this was his servant, and Feng Juniang's questionβif it was really a questionβhad to be answered by him.
Kou Daogu's expression is no longer as iron-blue as just now, but he has not returned to the old otherworldliness, and now he is more like an ordinary scholar.
"There are still unscrupulous disciples under the saint's disciples, let alone two servants with unpredictable intentions? Mr. Kou's heart is not here, but he was deceived by the inferior servants, and he did not deliberately conceal it. Yan Wei explained on his behalf that he did not know the details, and what he said was his own hope, not the truth.
Kou Daogu still didn't speak.
Yan Wei said again: "Mrs. Feng is not talking about the Tao, but ...... Exposing himself as ugly, Mr. Kou didn't answer because he didn't need to answer, it wasn't worth answering, Mrs. Feng ......"
Kou Dao walked alone, and there was only one way in and out of the valley, so he followed in the footsteps of the two servants, and the crowd that had been squeezed away had not yet closed, and then he gave way to both sides.
"Mr. Cole!" Yan Wei couldn't go any longer, so he hurriedly caught up, and after a few steps, he turned his head and said, "Witch, don't be rampant, someone will get rid of you sooner or later." β
"I hope it's Yan Gongzi, don't let me down." Feng Juniang raised her arm and waved the silk handkerchief.
Yan snorted coldly and walked quickly to pick up Kou Daogu.
The most embarrassing thing is that those scholars, especially the disciples of Fanmen, suddenly remembered the Yin Fu they met on the way and the reminders he had made, and they all regretted not being at the beginning.
Everyone wanted someone to say something to end this embarrassment, but no one could speak, and the people standing behind simply walked away quietly, and the others also turned around one after another, and when they came, they came in groups, but when they left, they were in twos and threes, and even alone, they were not willing to go together.
An Chongqian left a little later, and looked at Feng Juniang, both reluctant and regarded as a snake and scorpion, "You are really a witch." "I'm leaving.
As soon as he left, the last twenty or thirty people dispersed.
Feng Juniang let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Tian Zhuangshi came back in a really timely manner, thank you for saving your life." β
Tian Jiang walked over, his brows furrowed slightly, "Xu Gongzi's idea?" β
"Xu Gongzi only said that if you provoke Kou Daogu, I can win a big victory, how to provoke me is my own idea, how, is it worth watching?"
"Sooner or later, you'll kill yourself."
"Then will you save me or not?"
Tian Jiang's brows furrowed even tighter, but he didn't say anything, and turned to the other people who followed: "See, this is what Si Guogu looks like." Come with me to see Xu Gongzi. β
Feng Juniang saw that these people were familiar, but Chang Yanzhi recognized them, and she never had a chance to say hello, so she arched her hand and said: "General Dai, don't come to harm, how can you ...... Coming here? β
Dai Pohu is a general in Jingzhou, who went to Qinzhou with the descending army, and for some reason came to see Xu Ji, and smiled at Changyanzhi and others, "I was forced to be helpless." β
Feng Juniang was puzzled, Tian Jiang had clearly said that he would persuade the old people to stay away from Yecheng, why did he personally bring them?
