Chapter 16 There is suffering, and the heart burns
A faint morning light pierced through the misty night, illuminating the darkest hour before dawn. Under the deep and whitening sky, the 800 miles of water that held the giant island had already been awakened by heavy ships that had broken through the waterline. Until the first rays of light from the rising sun, the blood-red red seemed to herald the birth of dawn.
Under the faint green smoke emitted by the extinguished torches, the noisy golden sand beach in the middle of the night continued to be lively and noisy last night. As far as the eye can see, I can see all kinds of people on the beach hurrying to and fro, like hard-working ants transporting the rich capture of this battle.
The left-behind leader, Zhu Gui, was standing on a high ground on the shore at this time. Looking out into the water. The two completely different feelings of surging and hesitating and bewildering were violently colliding in his heart at this time, which made this middle-aged man's face reveal a complex look of mixed feelings, and under the background of the morning light, there was an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.
Looking at the two spot-billed ducks flying on the lake, Zhu Gui's thoughts gradually spread.
A few days ago, a friend who had met in the rivers and lakes in the old days came to the Lijia Daokou Hotel and told Zhu Gui that he wanted to defect to Dazhai. Zhu Gui, who was overjoyed when he heard this, entertained this friend with good wine and meat, but unfortunately the owner of the village had just been struck by lightning, and he was still lying on the sickbed at this time. Therefore, Zhu Gui did not immediately introduce him to the mountain, but told the owner of the village that he was in good health, so please be patient for a few days. I didn't know that this friend stayed in the Zhugui Hotel for two days, and after seeing all kinds of inside the cottage, there were waves in his heart, and he only deduced that there were still things at home that had not been taken care of, and he would come to the same place after taking care of them, so he said goodbye.
Zhu Gui thinks that there is no slackness in hospitality these days, he does his best to entertain guests, and accompanies him to talk about the rivers and lakes in his spare time.
So when this friend expressed his intention to say goodbye, Zhu Gui didn't think much about it. After many years of acquaintance, it can be regarded as an old acquaintance, and there was a plate to send each other at that time, but I was kindly asked to return as soon as possible.
I didn't know that this friend's words of returning home were just a false and wrongful relationship with him, and he turned around and threw himself into Chao Gai Zhuang. If that's all there is to it, after all, people have their own aspirations, and they can't say anything about him. The key is that this person should never have attacked Xixi Village in Liangshan, and when he happened to meet Chao Gai, he leaked the bottom of the cottage, and such a move directly put Zhu Gui into a Jedi!
Later, after Chao Gai found out the truth of Liangshan, he coveted it without accident. Fortunately, the owner of the village was well prepared for this battle, and the villagers of Xixi Village were strong, which scared off the strong enemy and turned the crisis into safety. But when he thought of Zheng Qian's return, the thrilling scene described last night, all kinds of remorse, chagrin, hatred, and anger that welled up in Zhu Gui's heart were superimposed, and they came as violently and abnormally as a flash flood, and he couldn't wait to eat that unparticular friend alive.
Han Bolong, Han Bolong! You're going to kill me!
Zhu Gui exhaled a breath of turbidity rather embarrassed, and looked back at the busy scene on the dock, only to see that under the piles of grain and grass piled up like mountains, excited minions were chasing cows, driving sheep, and more people were carrying wooden money boxes full of gold, silver and copper coins in pairs. In the process of bumping, the metal crunch sound emitted when the money and silver collided infected, infecting the emotions of everyone present. At this time, the cheerful atmosphere that filled everyone's body made Zhu Gui feel a strong sense of guilt, enveloping his remorseful heart.
"Leader Zhu! I can't find you everywhere, but I don't want to see the scenery here, it's really interesting! Zheng Qian and Zhou Zhi, the small leaders who came together, shouted at him with a smile on their faces.
Zhu Gui turned around and smiled bitterly: "In terms of age, I am only a few years older than the two idiots, and it is enough to shout big brother as before." The days are still long, don't give birth! ”
"How can it be done, my brother is now the leader of the cottage, how can I still be the same as before? If you let the owner of the village hear it, don't scold me for not distinguishing between dignity and inferiority? It's just that you don't have to say it, the owner of the village doesn't scold people now, but it's still a little uncomfortable! Zhou Zhi smiled.
Zheng Qian smiled and scolded when he heard this, and then looked at the four masters who stayed behind tonight, but Zhu Gui sighed and didn't answer. I saw that the fist-bone face was full of sorrow, and the eyes were dim, just looking at the thin mist on the water in a daze. He also listened to Zhou Zhi's jokes, but how could he be in the mood to laugh at this time? If others are afraid of Wang Lun's scolding, but he can't wait for Wang Lun to be in front of him at this time, scolding himself fiercely, so that he can feel better in his heart.
Zheng Qian noticed that Zhu Gui's expression was abnormal, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhu, what is there to worry about?" ”
But when he heard Zhu Gui sigh again, the smile on his face was as bitter as a medicine, which made Zheng Qian and Zhou Zhi palpitate, but they were puzzled.
Seeing that the two of them looked embarrassed, Zhu Gui felt that something was wrong, so he just cheered up and found a topic, "The owner of the village and the two leaders should also come back at this time!" ”
"It should be soon, why don't Brother Zhu go and rest for a while, and when the owner of the village comes back, I'll report later?" Zheng Qian said with concern.
Zhou Zhi also persuaded on the side, "Leader Zhu has been blowing a cool breeze here for a night, you have to take care of your precious body!" ”
Zhu Gui shook his head, he just wanted to wait for Wang Lun's return here, and ask the three leaders who went out tonight to ask for guilt in person.
Zheng Qian Zhou glanced at each other, and in the face of the situation in front of them, the two of them were obviously helpless, so they had to pick up some happy events at the moment, just hoping to make Zhu Gui happy.
I heard Zhou Zhikai say: "It's a pity that I didn't go down the mountain, otherwise I would have seen the majesty of my brothers!" Not only did I avenge Li Si last night, but this time, I am afraid that the money and food transported back to the mountain will not be enough for my cottage for a year? Thanks to the far-reaching scheming of the village, he used this good plan to kill two birds with one stone! ”
Zheng Qian peeked at Zhu Gui's expression, saw his slight expression, and said that this trick was effective, and hurriedly said: "How can it kill two birds with one stone? The owner of the village burned the deed, and the government was busy occupying the land of the Baozheng family, so where did he have the energy to provoke my cottage? It is the most ruthless and the favor that is sold to Chao Gai is the real show of the heart of the owner of the village! If Chao Baozheng spread the ugly story of this handful of birds tonight, wouldn't this Hu Tianwang be laughed at on the rivers and lakes in the future? ”
Zhou Zhi nodded in agreement and sighed, "Two brothers, are you skillful?" How does the owner of the village know that Chao Gai Na is a person who does not grow up, and loves to do bad things halfway? If it weren't for the help of the villagers last night, I'm afraid that the cottage will really hurt its vitality this time! ”
Hearing Zhou Zhi talk about the real thrill last night, Zheng Qian also sighed, and said with a straight face: "But as my brother said, this time fortunately the people supported it, and the cottage survived the difficulties!" When the owner of the village put the grain before, I still had a pimple in my heart, and I was serving more than 4,000 stones of grain! It's not a strong wind, who doesn't have a pain? But then the circumstances had to convince me! On the way back, the owner of the village had already ordered that in the future, the cottage should not use swords and soldiers for no reason to oppress the good. Don't say that it is an ordinary person, even a businessman, no matter how rich he is, don't harm him. Now that the world is declining, and the evil is full of evil, we can only do the right thing for heaven and punish the evil and eliminate the evil, and we are enough to be busy! You must know that it is not easy for the people to make a living, although we can't help a lot, we can't bother him! These are all the original words of the owner of the village, so I can't think of it! ”
When the two of them said this, they suddenly heard Zhu Gui sigh again, obviously the conversation between the two touched his heart, Zheng and Zhou couldn't understand what happened to Zhu Gui this time, and it was not easy to ask each other, so they could only look at each other.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of cheers from the dock, and all three of them looked over there, only to see a fleet of boats in everyone's sight. Zhu Gui, who had been like he had lost his soul, didn't wait to greet the two of them at this time, and ran towards the beach as if he was flying. Zheng Qian and Zhou Zhi glanced at each other, and they were all full of doubts.
