Chapter 148: Schadenfreude

I don't know what's going on in the past two days, I'm always unlucky, and I'm caught at every turn. Although Zhou Zhi has not learned martial arts, he is ruthless and agile, and he will not fall behind in dealing with ordinary gangsters in the countryside, but if he really wants to compare with people who know martial arts, Zhou Zhi is far away.

Thinking about it like this, it is not surprising that he feels caught, but it is just that he is caught, and he is always hung upside down on horseback, this taste is very uncomfortable, his mouth is constantly sour and bitter, and his internal organs are almost turned over.

Fortunately, this time he was not covered with his head and gagged, and he felt slightly better.

Four healthy horses galloped all the way to the northwest, followed by the four vicious dogs, and after about half an hour, a small city appeared in front of them.

Although Zhou Zhi has never been here, the two huge black characters "Tang County" on the city gate are still clear at a glance.

In terms of size and prosperity, the county seat of Tang County and the county seat of Qingdu are actually about the same. The four horses walked along the main street of the county, running through the north and south, and turned eastward, and a spacious mansion appeared in front of them.

Four horses stopped at the gate, and the four jumped off their horses, and then pulled Zhou Zhiye off the horses. The healthy servants who had already guarded the door took the reins from their hands, led the horses to the stables, and the four of them escorted Zhou Zhi into the door.

Fortunately, this time he was not bumping on the horse's back for a long time, and Zhou Zhi was strong at this time, and he was able to take a step, but his appearance was quite embarrassing.

There are several two-storey small buildings built in the house, carved beams and painted buildings, both beautiful and exquisite, between the buildings, planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, although it is a cold winter, but there is the strange pine that has a peculiar shape reveals the green, and the cold-resistant flowers and plants that Zhou Zhi can't name are pouring out the fragrance of Ling Han.

The mansion feels luxurious and elegant, and being in it makes people feel comfortable in an instant.

Zhou Zhi is determined that in this remote Tang County town in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the only one who can have such a mansion can only be the famous Kou family.

The bearded man walked two steps into a hall, and after a short time, his face was gloomy, and he shouted, "Lord Qianhu said that he wants to meet this kid in person and escort this kid in!" ”

The other three men also had angry faces at this time, escorting Zhou Zhi into the hall.

The windows in the hall are bright and clean, although it is a cold winter, but there are several huge charcoal basins burning vigorously, and a burst of heat immediately comes to the face.

In the hall where the north and south are sitting, a soft couch is placed, and on the couch sits a man with a burly appearance and good facial features, the man is about forty years old, and he is staring at Zhou Zhi with a gloomy face at this time. Beside the man stood a young man of about twenty years old.

Zhou Zhi only glanced at it, and recognized that the young man was Kou Peihan's brother, that Baihu Kou Tong. At the same time, Kou Tong also recognized Zhou Zhi at a glance, and immediately looked surprised, but quickly returned to normal.

Underneath Kou Tong, there were five sergeants standing, all with serious expressions, and the atmosphere in the hall was suffocating.

The middle-aged man is very majestic, exuding an aggressive momentum around his body, Zhou Zhi expected that he should be Kou Peihan's father, and he was Kou Dagang of thousands of households.

"My lord, he killed my adult's dog!" The bearded man pointed his fingers and said to Kou Dagang.

Kou Dagang stared at the cold light and said in a deep voice, "I thought it was a kind of character, it turned out to be a rural villager, tell me, why did you kill my dog?" ”

may see that Zhou Zhi is a farmer's attire, but he is willing to give Zhou Zhi a chance to explain. However, Zhou Zhi can see that no matter how he explains, he will definitely teach himself a hard lesson, Kou Dagang's cold and compelling eyes speak for themselves, he is a master who is unforgiving, very domineering, and will never suffer losses.

In a word, Zhou Zhi felt that he was going to have at least a meal of flesh and skin today.

So Zhou Zhi didn't speak, and looked at Kou Tong first. The meaning is obvious, how to say that he has also met Kou Tong, he is asking to save Kou Tong to speak for himself.

When Zhou Zhi thought about it, when his sister Zhou Luyun got married, the Kou family had a congratulatory gift, and Kou Tong naturally knew. I can't say that Kou Peihan's affection for him is known to their family.

What disappointed Zhou Zhi was that Zhou Zhi hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Kou Tong didn't look at Zhou Zhi, quietly retreated and disappeared from the hall.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but complain, and secretly scolded Kou Tong for not being righteous.

Kou Tong came out of the hall and ran directly to a small building in the back house. Kou Peihan was idle at this time, learning to cut window flowers with two little maids in the room. Since the last time Kou Peihan ran away from home, he has been watched closely by his father Kou Dagang after he returned.

Kou Tong coughed lightly and came in, and Kou Peihan asked casually, "Daddy is admonishing a few sergeants in the hall, my brother doesn't serve my father well, is there something wrong with my little sister here?" ”

"Huh! It's okay, my brother and father came back from Dump Ma Guan two days ago, and I haven't seen my little sister yet, so I just came to take a look. Kou Tong said casually.

"Then brother, just sit down!" Kou Peihan said softly.

Speaking of which in this family, although Kou Peihan is the baby daughter of her father and mother, the pearl in her palm, they are very strict with themselves, always with a straight face, and talk to themselves very solemnly. Only his brother Kou Tong is intimate with himself, and he has to care about himself from time to time.

Kou Tong didn't sit down, but suddenly smiled mysteriously and asked, "Little sister, brother actually ...... Actually, I want to ask you something, do you remember that Zhou Zhi in Baiyue Village? ”

Kou Peihan was immediately taken aback.

It has been more than four months since she said goodbye to Zhou Zhi last time, and Zhou Zhi's shadow has always lingered in her mind, and one of her hearts seems to have been taken away by Zhou Zhi.

Last time Zhou Luyun's sister Zhou Luyun got married, Kou Peihan got the news, so she secretly sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. After her father found out about it, he interrogated her and admonished her.

At this time, Kou Tong suddenly mentioned Zhou Zhi, Kou Peihan's heart trembled, and his face couldn't help but turn red. But he still pretended to think about it carefully, and said with an idle appearance, "The thoughtfulness of Baiyue Village is the ......."

Before Kou Peihan finished speaking, Kou Tong said with a smile, "It's the country boy who secretly sent a congratulatory gift to his sister's wedding." ”

"Oh, by the way, my brother didn't say that my little sister forgot about him. Why did my brother suddenly mention him? Kou Peihan looked shy, but still forced a look of indifference and asked.

"I forgot about it, I forgot about it, I thought my little sister had some affection for him, but now I'm relieved to be a brother! In fact, he didn't have anything to do, he was just killed by his father's dog, and he should have been beaten by his father at this time, right? After Kou Tong finished smiling, he looked at Kou Peihan with a gloating expression.

"Yikes! There is such a thing, how could my brother not say it earlier! Kou Peihan suddenly looked anxious and hurriedly stepped out of the door.

"Doesn't the little sister care about him? It's not all the same in the morning. Kou Tong followed closely behind Kou Peihan, still laughing.
