Chapter 1: The Winter Solstice (5I)
Duan Blind and Li Laojiu next door whispered a few more words, their voices were so low that Cheng Mingzhen couldn't hear them clearly. Immediately, Li Laojiu thanked Duan Blind for a few times, and then shouted at the little prisoners: "Come on, carry the person surnamed Cheng to the old fairy, he is lucky!" â
The prisoners agreed, and dragged Cheng Mingzhen to Duan Blind like a dead dog. Lock the cell door and walk away. Cheng Mingzhen knew that he had escaped another death catastrophe, and struggled to arch himself on the ground, clasping his hands into fists to thank the blind man. The old blind man jumped away as if his butt had been burned by fire, and he didn't even dare to say, "You, don't thank me." It's your life that you shouldn't die, my old blind man doesn't dare to be greedy for heaven's work. Thank you, and you will worship the gods of the past! â
Past gods? It's all drunk, foolish gods! Cheng Mingzhen secretly slandered in his heart. At this moment, in his eyes, the old blind man is more worthy of respect than those gods and ghosts. Since the other party refused to take credit, he didn't dare to force it, kowtowed lightly, and tilted on the ground to gasp.
Although only separated by a wall, this cell was much more neat than the one next door. Carefully speaking, it is not inferior to the chicken feather shops on the street for passers-by to rest. There was no straw on the ground, but it was swept cleanly. Sticking to the wall, there are all kinds of household essentials such as beds, tables, and charcoal basins. In the center of the cell, there was a charcoal basin made of black iron, with pink flames dancing inside, shining on people's faces and being extremely warm.
"You are Cheng Mingzhen?" When the young man carefully looked at the surrounding environment, the old blind man kept snorting his nose, as if the other party was a piece of braised pork that had just come out of the pot.
"It's the junior!" Cheng Mingzhen was a little uncomfortable when he heard it, and responded with his hand.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss. Your old blind man can't stand it! How many times have I told you that you want to murder my old man? Although he had no pupils, the old blind man seemed to see Cheng Mingzhen's every move.
Cheng Mingzhen felt weird in his heart, so he had to move to the root of the wall and said in a low voice: "The life-saving grace of the seniors, Cheng is unforgettable." If he can come out one day, he will be rewarded! â
"Repay, tell me, what can you come up with to repay me?" The old blind man, who was still mysterious just now, turned into a philistine villain in a blink of an eye, biting Cheng Mingzhen's words and asking.
Cheng Mingzhen's face turned red when he was asked, and he couldn't answer for a long time. He himself is now in a difficult situation, what can he repay others? When I was embarrassed, I heard the old blind man chanting on the ground, "Well, well, it's okay, the bad luck on your body has almost dispersed, maybe you will be rich and rich in the future." Reciprocation, well, I remember these two words. Just don't forget for yourself! â
"Juniors don't dare!" Cheng Mingzhen, who had been held back for a long time, finally got down the steps and muttered a response.
"Drink some water!" The old blind man shook his head, poured out a bowl of strong tea from the teapot nest, and gently placed it in front of Cheng Mingzhen. "That's a long way away, you can get past the current level first! Well, my old man will take a hexagram for you for free, go to the poor place of water, and sit and watch the clouds rise. Sign, sign, your difficulties are coming to an end, as long as you pass this level, just wait for the steady progress and live a happy life! â
What's in front of you? Cheng Mingzhen's thinking can't keep up with the changes of the old blind man. Haven't you just passed this hurdle? He thought to himself, and then his face flushed again. The person who wants to get rid of himself is not only Li Laojiu. Although Li Laojiu is at the forefront, he is just a small one. Behind him, there are two head catchers, a county magistrate, and the Zhou family of Guantao, as well as his good friend Wang Ermao!

Thinking of the meanness of the Zhou family and the ruthlessness of Ermao, Cheng Mingzhen felt a burst of despair in his heart. It's no wonder that Ermao easily chose to betray, the opponent's strength was too strong, and he had no chance of winning at all.
The old blind man felt very keen, and he could hear Cheng Mingzhen's despair from the sound of his breathing. smiled and said softly: "What's the matter, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to repay me?" You stupid boy. If you don't understand, don't think about it yet, someone brought us chicken to eat! â
As soon as the words fell, Li Laojiu ran in again, carrying a white-haired and red-crowned rooster in his hand, and his face was full of stammering. "You're old, you're old ......"
"Alas, it's been a long time since I've killed. For you Li Laojiu......" The old blind man sighed, stretched out his hand through the wooden fence of the cell door, and gently stuck the chicken's neck. It's strange to say that the big rooster was still struggling desperately under the control of Li Laojiu's hands, and was pinched by the old blind man with one hand, and he immediately lost his strength. After a while, his legs hung down and he whimpered.
"Take it, remember to ask someone to clean up the and chicken feathers on the ground! I haven't had blood in years, and for your......" The old blind man shook his head again and again, "When I get to Lord Hades, I will have to take a few more killings!" â
"How can you, you are always accumulating virtue and doing good!" Li Laojiu kept nodding his head, nodded and called a small cellkeeper, ordering him to clean up the dirt on the ground. Then he said with a smiling face, "Wait a minute, after I take the medicinal herbs, the other parts will be stewed for you and sent over." â
"Remember to let the cook put less salt, and don't forget to sprinkle the cooking wine before cooking! Root??? Pick up? Îș Wen??" As if it was a matter of course to accept the other party's filial piety, the old blind man told him with a grin.
The cell boss Li Laojiu was resigned, carrying the big that had been strangled, and trotted away. Hearing his footsteps go away, the old blind man smiled and returned to his bedside, and sat down steadily, waiting for the stewed chicken soup.
Now, Cheng Mingzhen admired this person more and more. He moved to the side of the bed and said respectfully, "Please give me some way!" The kid is stupid, he really can't think of how to get out of this place where he doesn't see the light of day! â
"Didn't I just point you out? Are you so stupid? The old blind man looked down at him with the white of his eyes, and there was a slight disappointment in his tone.
"Fingering?" Cheng Mingzhen looked around with difficulty, and the chains on his body clanged non-stop. The old blind man just pinched the big to death, it should be a very clever martial art. But what does that have to do with how to get out? I don't have a formula, and I don't see his methods clearly, how can I understand it at first sight.
"Since you can deceive Zhang Jincheng, you shouldn't be a stupid child. How did you come back after a lap of training, but you were deceived everywhere? Finding that Cheng Mingzhen was at a loss, the old blind man asked with a smile.
"This?" Cheng Mingzhen regretted it in his heart. In fact, after entering the city, many things are strange. It's just that I was fascinated by the position of that county at that time, and I always wanted to be promoted and change my court. But he didn't pay attention to the hostile gazes around him.
Even if I had been a little vigilant at the time, I would not have fallen to the point where I am today. But now, it's too late to regret it. All the things that should be on and what shouldn't be on are all over again. Those who have harmed themselves, I'm afraid they are drinking a little wine at home at the moment, while laughing at themselves for being incorrigibly stupid?
"You say, this Li Laojiu obviously took away the whole big rooster, why did he stew the part other than the medicinal herbs and send it back to me?" Just as he was thinking painfully, the words of the blind man rang in his ears again.
"Right? That Li Laojiu has always been a miser who has no entry and exit, why is he so generous today? "Cheng Mingzhen understands Li Laojiu's temperament, and secretly says in his heart." Yes, it's because Duan Blind saved his son! â
But is that guy a grateful man? Wrong! The answer that just came to mind was denied by Cheng Mingzhen himself. I'm afraid that he is afraid that his son's illness will not be cured for a while, and he will ask Duan's uncle for help in the future?
"He has a request for others, so even if he thinks that Uncle Duan's attitude is arrogant and he speaks in a tone of voice, he can only endure it. And I ........ myself" Suddenly, Cheng Mingzhen seemed to have been pushed open a window in front of him, and many things that were originally vague brightened. "The reason why I was fooled was that I asked for the order of Lin County, and wanted to get the position of county magistrate through his hands? The ancients said that if there is no desire, it is rigid! The reason why I was fooled was because of the greed in my heart! â
If so, this loss is not unjust. After reading for more than ten years, I haven't read some of the basic truths thoroughly. Thinking of this, Cheng Mingzhen was so annoyed that he wanted to stumble on the ground. I can't hate the betrayal of others anymore, and I only blame myself in my heart.
"What's wrong, I regret it. There is nowhere to buy regret medicine. Everything has to look forward! Finding that Cheng Mingzhen had an understanding, the old blind man squatted down and stabbed him with his fingers, "It's useless to regret it, you have to think about what others are asking for, so that you can see the trick." â
"I know what they are asking for. But the juniors have nothing left now! Cheng Mingzhen was so frustrated that he sighed and shook his head.
Lin County's order is to keep it a secret, but if you kill yourself, the secret will never see the light of day. Guo and Jia are eyeing the position of the county leader, and now that they are like this, is it possible to compete with them again?
"Does the little guy gamble?" The old blind man asked again without a head.
"Don't bet! I don't have any money! Cheng Mingzhen continued to shake his head.
"You've never lost?" The old blind man continued to ask.
"If you don't have money to lose, how can you lose?" Cheng Mingzhen responded without hesitation. Immediately, he quickly raised his head from the ground, and the chains on his body clanged non-stop.
There is nothing left, and losing again is just a bad life. As for Lin Xianling and the two head catchers, they have a lot of things.
When you lose everything in your hands, the next thing you do is win. Looking at the old man's indifferent smile, Cheng Mingzhen laughed wildly.
"Got it?" The old blind man stabbed him with his hand and asked with a smile.
"I figured it out, I figured it out!" Cheng Mingzhen burst into tears with laughter, "The younger generation is already invincible, haha, haha, hahaha!" â
