took the dagger and laid it horizontally on Zhang Tong's neck.

"If you want to do it, hurry up, can't you teach you?" Zhang Tong scolded.

Lai Pingdong took a breath, his hands trembled a little, looked at Chen Ping, saw Chen Ping's encouraging eyes, and suddenly felt that his body had strength, and his right hand holding the dagger pulled down violently.

Blood rushed out, Zhang Tong shot several times, his body straightened and stiffened, and his eyes gradually became dead ash.

"Find a place to bury the person, this cave can't be left, and the blood stains are cleaned up." Chen Pingdao, Chen Shirun found that Zhang Tong was missing, and he would definitely send someone into the mountain to find it, although the cave was hidden, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be discovered.

Lai Pingdong was familiar with the mountains, and led a few people to find a place, which was a weed-covered ravine, the size of which was just enough to bury people in, and there was it on the edge of the mud that was covered.

After burying Zhang Tong, Chen Ping and the four of them went back to the cave to clean up the traces of blood stains and other traces, but the pots and bowls were not moved, and then along the mountain stones, they chiseled dry and wiped off the blood marks on them.

After everything was cleaned up and no signs were seen from the outside, Chen Ping said to Guan Chong: "Your injury is not healed, go down the mountain with me, and I will arrange a place for you to live." ”

"No, the wound has healed, and there is no problem walking." Guan Chong shook his head and refused, worried about his wife and children at home, "I have been away from home for a few months, I want to go back and have a look." ”

Chen Ping nodded, did not force it, and said, "If this is the case, then it is fine." If you are not satisfied in Jinling, you can come to me, and when you come, my house will be built. ”

"Thank you." Guan Chong said gratefully, "But this time I will only go back alone, Zhu Xie has to trouble Chen Ping, you can help take care of one or two." ”

This is what Zhu Xie and Guan Chong had discussed long ago before Chen Ping came, and because of Zhang Tong's words, Zhu Xie made up his mind to stay.

"That's great, I'm worried I can't find someone to help me." Chen Ping clapped his hand, "Zhu Xie is willing to stay, my safety is at least guaranteed, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully even if I sleep at night, and I have to watch out for Chen Shirun and others." ”

"That's going to have to be your meal for nothing." Zhu Xie smiled, "Is there enough food at your house?" ”

"If you just have ten more hundred heads, that's enough." With manpower, Chen Ping was in a happy mood, and suddenly patted the side of his leg, and said to Laiping Dong, "Xiao Dongzi, your grandfather is worried about you, and he found Baitu Village, and now he is at home." Go to him first and tell him that he is safe, he must be in a hurry. ”

Lai Pingdong answered, glanced at Zhu Xie and Guan Chong, and ran out of the mountain.

Watching Lai Pingdong walk away, Zhu Xie's eyes shrank, and he said to Chen Ping: "The identities of the two of us are also known, is it safe?" ”

"It's okay, I trust him." Chen Ping nodded and said to Guan Chong, "When are you leaving?" ”

Guan Chongdao: "Remember your wife and children, the sooner you are, the better, and leave immediately." ”

"Yes." Chen Ping looked at Guan Chong and measured his height, "You are waiting for me here, I went back to get some things, I am afraid that you will not be able to go out of Liuhe County if you are dressed like this." ”

Guan Chong had two rags hanging on half of his body, and there were blood stains on them, so he and Zhu Xie found a dense place by the stream and waited for Chen Ping.

Half an hour later, Chen Ping, who had gone down the mountain, ran back again, carrying a burlap bag in his hand with sweat stains on his forehead, and when he arrived in front of the two of them, he threw the burlap bag to Guan Chong.

The mouth of the cloth bag was opened, and inside were two sets of clean clothes, a pair of cloth shoes, and then I touched it down, and there were three or four pieces of broken silver, plus one hundred and ten copper coins.

"The money at home is short of money these days, so I can only take out three or four taels of silver, go to the stream to clean it and change into robes." Chen Ping took the dagger, and then took out a piece of soap horn and threw it to Guan Chong, "Use this." ”

Guan Chong carried a cloth bag and washed it in the stream, covered with mud stains, his body was already smelling, and the beard under his forehead was also coming out, it was indeed time to comb it.

Chen Ping went to the stream at the same time and cleared the dagger.

After half an hour, in the west of Baitu Village, a person walked out of Liuhe Mountain, dressed in a clean robe, his face was slightly pale, he was on crutches, and his hair was slightly stained with water.

This person went down the mountain, followed the village road of Baitu Village, walked up along Tushui, and saw the village man or village woman working in the field, this person would also look at it with a smile, nod his head, or ask a question.

These days, there are many strange faces in Baitu Village, but most of them are from nearby villages, and the people in the village in the field saw this person's face, but they didn't think much about it, there was that bold village woman, and the little daughter-in-law who saw Lintian couldn't stop looking at this person, smiled and said a few words, which attracted a few words of shame.

For a time, the work in the field was a bit of fun.

Half an hour after the man had gone, two more men came down from the mountain, and instead of entering the village, they went to the brick kiln.

These two people are Chen Ping and Zhu Xie, and the person who went down the mountain alone before is Guan Chong.

When he arrived at the brick kiln, Chen Ping directly called Xue Wang aside: "Are there any people around these days?" ”

Xue Wang was sealing the top of the brick kiln, and when he heard Chen Ping shouting, he jumped down directly from the top, thinking that there was something big, but it was strange when he heard the words, he glanced at Zhu Xie, who was following Chen Ping, thought about it, and said: "There are also faceless people, if you want to say that there is, there are always a few people from Xiatu Village watching from a distance in the past two days." ”

"Do you know what they're doing?" Chen Ping raised his eyebrows and asked.

"There are a few who want to work, Brother Ping, didn't you say that there are no people in the brick kiln? Let me block it. The other two just came to see it, and then turned and left, but for some reason. Xue Wang said honestly.

"Okay, I see. Be careful with these ****, someone may come to the brick kiln to make trouble. Chen Ping said.

As soon as he heard that someone was making trouble, Xue Wang's face immediately changed, and he said loudly: "Who is it?" Is it Master Xue? We don't steal or rob, we also provide food for the workers, and we have wages to get paid, who wants to make trouble in the brick kiln? ”

This reaction was even more exciting than Chen Ping.

But after thinking about it, Chen Ping was a little relieved, Xue Wang put more effort into this brick kiln than himself. The site selection of the brick kiln, the screening of green bricks, the selection of materials for the mud embryo, the workmanship during the day, and the sleep in the thatched shed on the side several times at night.

"Don't worry, no one can hit the idea of a brick kiln, if anyone dares to come, we will send him back." Chen Pingdao.

"I'm going to beat him back." Xue Wang clenched his fists and followed, "Aren't those people surrounding the brick kiln?" ”

"Yes." Chen Ping nodded affirmatively, but then said, "They won't come to move the brick kiln for the time being, and if it's not enough, you have to take precautions, you have to pay more attention to the brick kiln." ”

"I will." Xue Wang replied, turned around and went to seal the top of the brick kiln again.

The top of the brick kiln is sealed, and then placed in a few days, and the firewood and bricks are prepared, and the bricks can be ignited in the kiln.

reminded Xue Wang, Chen Ping led Zhu Xie to the county, the village was full of people, and the accommodation arranged for Zhu Xie had to be in the county.

The silver money was spent like flowing water, and finally the twelve taels of silver that Wang put in Chen Ping were also taken out. (To be continued.) )
