At the entrance of Zhongjia Village, Dong Ce was squatting on the ground, holding a broken dagger to sharpen the chopsticks.

Cao Luorong squatted beside him, hugging her knees with one hand and teasing the little ants on the ground with a straw stalk in the other.

"Hey, what did you say Shanhe Society did such things for?" Cao Luorong said.

Dong Ce didn't make a sound, and still concentrated on doing things.

Cao Luorong, who was ignored, didn't care, and continued: "What can they get by framing Wu Bing? Official position? This seems to be a bit impossible, there are many famous children of the poor family, where is their turn, but if it is money, it seems to make no sense. ”

Dong Ce was still silent, the shadow of the knife in his hand was like a fan, and sawdust was flying.

"Oh, you're talking, can't you guess?" Cao Luorong didn't have a good airway.

Dong Ce gestured, turned his head to glance at Cao Luorong, and then continued to bow his head and sharpen the bamboo chopsticks, and finally said: "As the old saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!" ”

"What!" Cao Luorong smiled and said, "It was Mencius who said: There is a way to win the world: to win the people, to win the world." There is a way to win the people: to win their hearts, to win the people. There is a way to get his heart: gather with it as much as you want, and don't do anything evil. The words of other sages are dismissed by your seven words, even if they are not even famous. ”

"Hey, I'm still thinking of Confucius." Dong Ce smiled bitterly, he really didn't know who said it, anyway, he often heard people read it.

"You're embarrassed to say that I'm blushing for you." Cao Luorong looked at Dong Ce's rare embarrassment, and couldn't help but be happy in her heart, she also knew that for Dong Ce, a businessman, it was already rare to have an opinion that he could achieve success and win the hearts of the people to win the world.

"Hey, do you write poetry?" Cao Luorong suddenly remembered what Dong Ce said on the boat, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, it won't." Dong Ce shook his head categorically.

"What about writing? You businessmen want to keep accounts and check accounts, you should always be able to do it, are you writing well? Cao Luorong asked again.

Dong Ce put down one sharpened chopstick, picked up the other one and continued to sharpen, and said lightly: "My words, how to say it, should be like a chicken claw, like a dog crawling." ”

"Huh!" Cao Luorong sneered when she heard this, and said sarcastically: "You are really useless!" ”

"Who's talking about it!" Dong Ce said unhappily: "If you can't write well, it doesn't mean that I draw ...... Ahem, forget it, let's stop talking about these useless things. ”

Dong Ce suddenly couldn't go on halfway through speaking, because he also sensed that something was wrong, after all, Cao Luorong was like this now, and it was likely that he would start to be interested in him, Dong Ce hoped that he was self-inflicted, because no matter his psychological age or personality, he and Cao Luorong couldn't be screwed together, and when he played against her before, he mostly wanted to make the other party understand, as long as the two of them worked together to persuade her grandmother, I think her old man would accept it.

"You don't want to marry me in order to harm me, so you are the one who suffers in the end!" Dong Ce said suddenly.

Cao Luorong was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Dong Ce to see her previous thoughts, but after thinking about it, she was relieved, with Dong Ce's shrewdness, it would be strange if she couldn't see it at all!

Shaking her head and smiling, Cao Luorong lost her mind and said: "Sometimes it's really boring to be alive. ”

"Come less." Dong Ce flattened his mouth and said with disdain: "What do you know about a little girl, people must have pursuits and constant challenges when they live, for example, the bamboo chopsticks I cut now must be sharpened better than the other, and you women too, cooking must be better and better day by day, otherwise I don't know how many male compatriots will be harmed." ”

"But I'm not interested in that." Cao Luorong shook her head.

"It's just a metaphor, you can't see the point? Since you like to dance and ink, why don't you practice calligraphy and drawing, these are enough for you to play for a lifetime. "Dong Ce didn't have a good airway.

"Huh...... When the calligraphy and painting come out, who will appreciate it? Who understands? Cao Luorong said with a desolate tone.

Dong Ce knows that what she wants is not appreciated by people who know how to do it, but by people she likes!

At this point, Dong Ce naturally couldn't volunteer, so he could only comfort: "There are thousands of men in the world, and you can't finish watching it in your life, why do you conclude that you can't find one that you will appreciate?" ”

Cao Luorong became even more decadent after hearing this, and sighed: "I'm afraid that I will find my old Zhuhuang, but it is still now!" ”

Dong Ce couldn't help but smile and said: "Then you will drink too much in the future, and you will read on the street every day: I was born before I was born, I was born to the old king, I hate the old man who was born late, I hate the early ......birth of the king."

"Huh!" After Cao Luorong heard it, she was surprised and said: "Good poem, the words are deeply rooted in my heart, where did you hear it?" ”

"This is something I specially asked someone to make, to write a poem for my future pottery kiln porcelain, like this, very good!" Dong Ce knew that Cao Luorong would never believe that he did it, and the fact was that he did not do it!

"Cut, I told you where the smell of copper came from." Cao Luorong learned from Dong Ceche, her face full of disdain.

"It is undeniable that the children of your scholarly families are covered in ink everywhere, and we businessmen exude a strong copper smell everywhere we go." Dong Ce said, just after cutting the last chopsticks, got up and patted the sawdust on his body, and said while walking with the chopsticks: "There are all kinds of people in the world, doing things from all walks of life, but they are by no means doing their duties, such as whether Jiang Taigong commands the three armies with a fishy smell?" Is Fan Hao a good at slaughtering dogs, or is he a good at slaughtering people? Does his boss use the law of governing a pavilion to govern a country? Life is full of changes, but because of this, life is colorful! ”

Cao Luorong knew that Dong Ce was asking her to find what she wanted to do, but this wording was a bit rebellious!

"Beware of someone accusing you of rebellion!" Cao Luorong shouted towards Dong Ce's back.

The autumn sunset illuminates the green mountains into golden mountains, and Zhongjia Village, located at the foot of Guzhu Mountain, is slowly shrouded in mountain shadows.

Hundreds of feet away, Fan Guan, disguised as a scarred bearded man, stared coldly at the village in front of him.

"Big brother, what else are you looking at? Let the brothers kill him directly, catch Zhong Xiaoshi and beat him to death, and see if he dares to be rampant in the future! A young man with rat eyes and monkey cheeks stood beside Fan Guan and sneered.

"There's no hurry." Fan Guanyi waved his hand and said, "Don't you notice, Zhongjia Village is very weird!" ”

"No?" The young man looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Isn't there a figure walking around the village, and there is smoke rising from the cooking, if they know that we will come, then they are in the mood to cook at this time!" ”

"That's the problem!" Fan Guan sneered and explained: "The figures in the village are all tall, obviously all adult men, so the old and weak women and children must have been transferred to the mountains by them, and this smoke is just confusing us and others, and when you think you can take advantage of it and kill the ****, it will be a trick!" ”

The young man heard it in a fog and said curiously: "Didn't this Zhong Xiaoshi know that you called the brothers, eldest brother?" ”

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu has already released his words to him, does he dare to do it with Lao Tzu without preparation!" Fan Guan naturally won't tell the young man the truth about Zhongjiacun today.

"Haha, even the most famous hunter in our Great Wall County is so careful to deal with it, just ask who else in the entire county dares to go against the eldest brother!" The young man patted his ass.

"That's it." Another young man also came over and said with a smile: "This little brother Zhong Xiaoshi has also heard of it, it is rumored that this man is as big as an ox, and he can tear all the tigers alive, and his archery skills are a few points more powerful than Huang Zhong of the Three Kingdoms, but in front of Big Brother Scar, he is not even as good as a bedbug!" ”

The young man couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard this, this young man used to be the same as him, he was a small leader of a group of ruffians in the county, nicknamed the dog leper, and his green snake dart has always been like fire and water, the two gangs of people have fought before, but they are all equal, but since they all followed the ghost scar, he felt that he was riding on the head of the dog leper a little bit, for no other reason, that is, the dog leper's mouth is too good to say, look at this sycophant kung fu, compare yourself with him, then just like his last sentence, even a bed bug is not as good as ah!

Fan Guan didn't care about these sycophants, but he also pretended to be very useful, and said proudly: "Zhong Xiaoshi's archery skills are indeed good, but unfortunately, the bow and arrow are too inferior, and it is difficult to keep the right head a hundred steps away, and when the fight starts, Qingzi, we will be responsible for covering your approach, and then it will be up to you to have a dart stunt!" ”

The green snake dart was overjoyed when he heard this, and the opportunity to perform in the secret way came, and he immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, big brother, as long as the little brother is within thirty steps of him, the little brother will be sure to control the enemy with a dart!" ”

"The cowhide is not afraid of blowing." The dog leper couldn't help but say sarcastically.

The green snake dart was furious in his heart, but on the surface, he said lukewarmly: "Whether you brag or not will be revealed immediately, your nonsense should be kept to yourself." ”

Fan Guan looked at the sky at this time, and the time was almost the same, as long as the sun set, he arranged for the people in Changcheng County to immediately rush to the yamen, shouting that the people of Zhongjia Village had killed people and plundered goods!

In this way, Wu Bing will inevitably gather people to kill, and as long as he finds a way to force the two groups of people to not even have time to talk, they will fight when they meet, and this play will be able to be sung!

Feeling the light breeze blowing from Taihu Lake, Fan Guan smiled at Zhongjia Village, which had set up a suspicious formation, and sneered: "Little ones, bring me a fire!" ”

In Zhongjia Village, Zhong Xiaoshi saw the sixth son running and asked, "How is it?" ”

Liuzi took a few breaths before saying: "When I came, the doctor only checked five people, but they all said that it was no big deal, and they could be cured in a few days with some tonic medicine. ”

"Well, then I'm relieved, you can go over and eat with everyone." After hearing that his family was indeed not in the middle of the plague, Zhong Xiaoshi's heart that had been carrying it finally let go.

"Ah, it's still eating!" The sixth son was stunned when he heard this, and exclaimed: "It's all at this time, when I came just now, I saw many figures on the official road in the north, obviously they are the cult traitors that Engong said!" ”

"Engong said that the other party is not a fool, he must be able to see at a glance that the village is strange, and he will not rush to fight, but you also have to hurry up, eat early before you have the strength to fight with these sons of bitches!" After Zhong Xiaoshi finished speaking, he patted Liuzi on the shoulder and left.

In the courtyard on the other side, Cao Luorong looked at a small plate of wild vegetables on the case, couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and looked at Dong Ce, but saw that this evil eye ate very deliciously, and drank a bowl of porridge in a few big bites, and the wild vegetables on the plate disappeared at some point.

"Do you want to eat? Don't eat and don't waste, give it to me. After Dong Ce finished eating, he looked at Cao Luorong with unfinished eyes.

"I won't give it to you if I feed the pigs!" Cao Luorong snorted coldly, and took a sip of millet porridge after speaking, but then she felt wrong, as if she had scolded herself?

Dong Ce didn't bother to tease Cao Luorong, leaned against the wall behind him, lifted Erlang's legs and sighed leisurely: "It would be beautiful if there was a big basin of hot water for bathing!" ”

Cao Luorong also felt uncomfortable when she heard this, after all, she and Dong Ce had been in the water, especially her, who was knocked to the ground by the hateful Wei Zheng, stained with mud, her back and lower abdomen were kicked and swollen, and now she still has a faint pain, and suddenly, I really miss the bathtub at home.

At this time when Cao Luorong was home, suddenly, there were exclamations outside the courtyard, and after a while, Zhong Xiaoshi rushed to the gate of the courtyard and said to Dong Ce and Cao Luorong inside: "Engong is not good, that gang of thieves has started to burn the village!" ”
