The world is now chaotic, the front line between countries is hot, and they are often tilting against each other, and the front line is extending to the interior every month, which really makes people worry every day, for fear of being affected by the war.

The big families are still the daily bell ringing food, but the poor people below don't have so much to rely on, and the few big men who earn money by selling coolies every day barely make ends meet, and often eat the last meal without the next meal. Therefore, some small traders and hawkers who looked profitable got together and invented a big pot of rice called "staring food", which was dedicated to these hard laborers every day, and the business was booming when they came and went.

What is staring food, in fact, is a large pot of boiling water to boil meat, and then add some rich spices for seasoning. After the mud legs get off work every evening, bring some steamed bread and dry food, one person and one big boy and one chopsticks, what food can be fished out of the pot depends on your own luck and ability.

In fact, it is said that it is full of good meat, but it is just boasted by small traders, and the so-called meat is all leftover from pork shops, plus some leftovers from various restaurants, or old horse meat with sour and unpalatable meat, it is certain that it is unpalatable.

However, this year to be alive is to burn high incense, even a yellow flower girl is only worth five taels of silver, how many poor people sell their children and daughters just for a bite to eat, it is better to die than to live, as long as there is still a breath left, even if you are still breathing, you will have to breathe past the sun setting today.

Because the contents are uncertain, the one with a piece of chicken leg is a copper, and the one with hair on the water is also a copper, so many people will use a chopstick to fish in it for a long time, until the back of the line is impatient and waiting, and finally scolding is over.

"Lao Huang, didn't I say you, just with your ability, it's really aggrieved to stay here and huddle with us ordinary people, isn't it just to lose to him Su Qinghuang, don't you be ashamed. If you let out the wind, there may be how many big families are willing to solicit, even to show them the home and nursing home, it is better than queuing up here to eat staring food. At the end of the line, an old man with gray hair said to the sturdy man in front of him, in fact, the old man is only fifty years old, but the long-term malnutrition and lack of food make him look like he has reached seventy years of life.

Huang Zhengguo looked at the line in front of him and bowed his head and said nothing. Where is the job bowl of a big family in a high-ranking family so good, the injury under the ribs will still be painful at night, he does not have Su Qinghuang's conditions, this injury will delay for a long time, and it will not be better for a year and a half. If it weren't for the fact that his godmother was too old to walk through the courtyard gate, Huang Zhengguo actually planned to leave Wumei Town and go to other places in Qingjun to beg for food.

Kung fu, it is already Huang Zhengguo's turn to fish for a chopstick, Wu Xiu is naturally different from ordinary people, and his dexterity is more than ten times stronger, so the dragonfly fished out the best piece of the pot with a little water. After a few simple bites, he wiped his mouth, and finally Huang Zhengguo still wanted to go to Li's house, the matter was messed up, and the master's explanation must be given, the right eyelid has been jumping for the past few days, and if he dragged it out, it really caused some trouble, and it was really worth the loss.

The gate of the Li family is easy to find, but the small door in the back is rarely known. Huang Zhengguo came all the way to the back door of the Li family's house, since someone was guarding there, explaining the intention, as soon as the small wooden fence door opened, Huang Zhengguo looked at it, and the courtyard and the streets and alleys outside were completely different from another piece of cave.

Now the solar term is actually half a month away from the red and willow green, but there is already a vibrant atmosphere that cannot be hidden in the courtyard of the Li Mansion. Although the scenery is beautiful, Huang Zhengguo's heart is not easy at all, looking at the flowers in the corner, the big red peony flowers are still nearly a month to bloom.

Being able to intervene in the Heavenly Mandate with manpower is so capable, it is not something that can be measured by a small quenching realm like him, could it be that there is an ancestor in this heart-stirring realm. But when everyone arrives at the door, there is no reason not to go in.

Li Fengyan sat in the middle of the courtyard, his face was like a crown of jade, looking at Huang Zhengguo before coming, he didn't seem surprised at all, beckoned him to sit down, and poured a glass for himself and Huang Zhengguo with a small wine jug.

Huang Zhengguo sat on the chair, his buttocks were the kind that only dared to touch one side, as if it was full of nails, and his back was so straight that he was straight. He knew in his heart what his identity was, and he couldn't afford to be a glass of wine from the second young master of the Li family, but this glass of wine had to be taken again, and Huang Zhengguo didn't know what would happen next, so he drank this wine a little tremblingly.

Li Fengyan looked at everything in his eyes, and saw that Huang Zhengguo's face was solemn, and sweat drops were about to come out of his head, before he opened his mouth and asked, "The old lady is still healthy." ”

With this question, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard froze, and then there was a dull silence.

After a while, Huang Zhengguo adjusted his mood and said: "Godmother, everything is fine, and I am worried about Gongzi Lao Li." ”

Li Fengyan played with the green jade wine glass in his hand, the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, the wine in the jug was a new wine just released this year, and the people at the bottom specially sent a few jars for him to try in order to please him, and he had to put on the green jade glow-in-the-dark wine glass so as not to spoil it.

"Brother Huang is really a rare filial person, he worked hard in the boxing ring for the silver scene, but he wanted to give the old lady Bo a stable old age, but unfortunately Brother Huang's mother had a bad life and did not live to this day, otherwise the two old sisters lived together, and they would have taken care of it, so they would not be so lonely now. Li Fengyan said with a smile, it was originally a smile from the spring breeze in the courtyard of Hexi, but in Huang Zhengguo's eyes, there was always a sense of forest that made people's hearts palpitate.

Huang Zhengguo clenched his palms, and he didn't know that his nails were too hard to sink into the flesh, so he finally stood up and said in a rough voice: "Li Gongzi, I, Huang Zhengguo, am a big boss, how can He De be a brother to you." I am a straight person in this life, and I like to talk straight, so don't think I'm rude. ”

"I took your Li family's money but didn't get it done, it's me Huang Zhengguo who is incompetent, you want to be punished and punished, please make it clear. As for the silver, please ask Li Gongzi for a few days, it is really that silver used to simply repair the house where the old lady lives, at least so that it does not leak rain in this season. The old lady didn't know anything about this, her mother was gone, this godmother was the only relative in this world, and I would like to ask your boss to have a lot, don't embarrass her. ”

It was rare for Huang Zhengguo to say so many things at once, so he simply confided in the matter clearly and clearly.

"Although it is a bit immeasurable to say this in front of your Li Gongzi, if you can let the old lady go, in the future, if you have something, please command, Huang Zhengguo fought for his life, and also helped you to complete this matter. ”

After saying this, Huang Zhengguo's heart was like hanging buckets of water, seven up and eight down, I don't know what kind of reaction Li Fengyan will do next.

I used to admit defeat on the stage because I didn't think it was worth putting my life on it, but now people have come to the door, and they are old ladies who open and close their mouths. Although Huang Zhengguo has a boring temperament, he is not stupid, and it is easy to think of the sinister deeds of some big families. Everyone has a price code for themselves in their hearts, Huang Zhengguo doesn't like bondage and is used to being free, but the former old lady and godmother are the softest part of his heart, and now that the old lady is gone, the godmother has become his only concern, this is his price.

Li Fengyan glanced up at him and said with a light smile: "Brother Huang, I don't mean to blame you, who would have thought that Su Qinghuang played a pig and ate a tiger, now I really can't tell if this kid's previous tattered virtues were deliberately pretended to be shown to others, but it doesn't matter, no matter how he jumps in the end, this ending is doomed." ”

"But things went bad, after all, I didn't have the strength to go home, and I missed Li Gongzi's business. Huang Zhengguo stood to the side, looking at Li Fengyan who was sitting on the side, obviously a few heads shorter than him, but it gave him an indescribable sense of oppression, as if he was the one who needed to look up when he was sitting.

"It's okay for me to say it, don't take it to heart, if Brother Huang is still short of silver, you can talk to the concierge of the Li family, just say that I said it, the Li family may be lacking in others, but there is no shortage of this bit of silver. The old lady is old, and there is always a lot of money to use. ”

Huang Zhengguo shook his head, "Thank you Li Gongzi for your kindness, I don't need it for the time being, it's just that I came today to take the blame, but I didn't expect you to have a lot of adults and didn't take this matter to heart." But my huang zhengguo accepted such a favor from your li family in vain if you don t do something you will not even be able to sleep when you go back at night so . ”

When Huang Zhengguo said this, there was a trace of fierceness on his face, and he actually cut off his thumb with his hand as a knife, and the blood dripped on the grass, Huang Zhengguo's body trembled, but he didn't say a word, just bent down and picked up the severed finger and put it on the table.

"Don't dislike this thing to pollute your good place, Huang Zhengguo still said that, although his skills are not good, but one thing you tell in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you do it. Li Gongzi, you are a busy person, so I won't bother. Saying that, Huang Zhengguo bowed to Li Fengyan and turned to leave, Li Fengyan didn't say a word and didn't stop him.

Until Huang Zhengguo came out of the small door.

A henchman next to him asked aloud, "Childe, let him go?"

Li Fengyan played with the green jade cup in his hand and asked: "Otherwise, he took the initiative to come, even if I don't let him go and ask for his life, what can I get in exchange, whether it is worth silver or can add disgust to Su Qinghuang, it can't, it's better to put it back, one that immediately quenches the body of the three realms, maybe it will be useful in the future." ”

"Besides, this person is really a little interesting, the thing has not been done, I am inevitably blamed and worried in my heart, leaving a finger that does not owe each other, and keeping the finger alive, this kind of person, will come back one day to retrieve this and the severed finger, at that time, this person's state of mind, I am actually a little looking forward to it. ”

"Hehe, what the second brother said is right. There was laughter from behind, and then the figure stepped forward, it turned out that Li Xianyan had been watching from behind, and only then did he speak.

"Big brother. Li Fengyan said politely.

"It's just that I happened to pass by here and listened to some gossip. Li Xianyan patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

"The old man said that he had something important to look for me, and by the way, I knew his old man's temper, and no one could stand it if he started a fire late. ”

"Well, carrying the burden of the Li family, the eldest brother is really hard. Li Fengyan lowered his eyebrows and said smoothly.

"It's just that the second brother, you also have to work more for the family, don't just care about throwing pots and listening to the play all day long, the Li family will eventually be handed over to you and me, don't miss the Li family's century-old foundation when the time comes. ”

Li Fengyan shook his head and said: "Big brother, don't be embarrassed for me, I'm really not the material to do those things, fortunately, you have been in front of you in the past few years." Yes, don't talk about it, I heard that the Qin girl on the flower boat rarely started singing today, the pipa is a must, and the family affairs are all entrusted to the eldest brother, so I will go first, maybe Miss Qin will be happy and invite me to be the guest of the curtain, big brother don't be greedy. ”

"You. Li Xianyan shook his head helplessly and glanced at him. I went to the front.

Li Fengyan also got up and prepared to go out, but he just passed by a corner of the courtyard and glanced at it casually. I happened to see a small snake in the field on the side of the ground struggling desperately, but at the head of the snake, a praying mantis and two double pincers have been desperately grasping the scales, no matter how the little snake struggles, it can't break free, until the skin is open, and finally swallows, the praying mantis jumped off the snake's head with a high spirit, jumped into the grass and disappeared.

Li Fengyan played two mantis punches decently, not to mention, he really had a seven-point resemblance to that mantis.
