220. Complex situation

Due to Shi Shengda and Zhang Jing's timely return to defense, Xiong Wei only destroyed the Jinjia Army and returned to the village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But this is also a good result, once these three forces are united, it will be very difficult for Heishui Village to deal with it. Now that one of them is destroyed, the other two will not be able to make much of a storm.

But what is unexpected is that the situation around Heishui Village has become more complicated and tense than before with the fermentation of this alliance incident. Shi Shengda once again played to his strengths, and wrote an impassioned text to send to the leaders of the surrounding forces, which resonated with many people, and when this article reached Heishui Village, Lan Xiangyu's brows were locked together.

The brothers of the Xiong family are not literate and can't understand this crepe thing, so they took it to ask Lan Xiangyu, Lan Xiangyu was silent for a long time after reading it, and said: "Big brother, the situation is not good for us...... Xiong Wei hurriedly asked: "Brother and sister, how can you say this?" ”

"I blame this matter for not thinking it through, and despised this person named Shi Shengda, his article ...... It is very inflammatory, he said that we are treacherous, on the surface we are allied with others, but behind the scenes we are cheating, it is a villain's behavior......" Lan Xiangyu said here, the faces of the Xiong brothers are also difficult to see, they know the weight of the four words "treachery", and they also know what the consequences will be after being labeled as a "villain".

Most of these rebel armies and various forces were formed by people in the green forests on the rivers and lakes, and what these people value most is the word "righteousness", saying that he can do anything, but it must not be said that he has no righteousness, otherwise it will be the result of endless death. In the past, whether it was an ally or an enemy, the two brothers of the Xiong family in Heishui Village would give a thumbs up and say: "Enough righteousness!" "And now, I'm afraid I'm spurned by everyone......

"Damn, Shi Shengda, this dog show slandered us! They were the first to deceive, and the wicked people sued first and poured sewage on us, this turtle bastard! Xiong Zhuang scolded angrily.

Xiong Wei clenched his fists and gurgled and said in a deep voice: "Now that they have colluded together to confirm this matter, we are indistinguishable." He looked up at the plaque in the lobby, and his face flashed with determination. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! They're coming, let's do it! ”

……

Walking out of the lobby, Lan Xiangyu took a deep breath and walked towards a large house in the distance, which was the settlement in the stockade, where the soldiers' families lived, and Lan Xiangyu's family also lived.

Most of the houses are made of wooden planks, and the roofs are covered with meadows. Tall and short, stretching out into the distance. Although it is a cottage, it is no different from an ordinary mountain village. A doll in open crotch pants chased the puppy out of a certain alley, giggling and laughing. A few elderly people sat in front of their houses chattering, some women came out with wooden basins to do laundry, and some blacksmiths wielded hammers to do their work.

Compared with the life in the Supreme Gang, the conditions here can be said to be very difficult, but Lan Xiangyu doesn't hate it here, because her family is here, except for her husband......

Around the corner, in front of their house, two men were sitting there playing chess. One of the fortune tellers was dressed as a treasure-like sail standing on the wall next to him, and the words on it could be faintly seen: "Clever Calculation". Sitting opposite him was a short fat man, who hesitated to pick up a chess piece with his left hand, but his right wrist was bare, and his right hand was gone.

Lan Xiangyu walked over with a smile, stood behind the short fat man and said, "Brother Hu Meng, the flying elephant crosses the river, his horse can't eat you!" Hu Meng suddenly realized, laughed and dropped the chess pieces, turned back to Lan Xiangyu and said, "Why did Madam come back so early today?" Lan Xiangyu replied: "After the matter is settled, the eldest brother will let me come back first." ”

Liu Banxian on the opposite side had a bitter face and looked at Lan Xiangyu sadly: "I said Xiangyu, you are too unauthentic, as the saying goes, you don't say a true gentleman, if you do this, I won't be able to win Lao Hu!" Lan Xiangyu winked mischievously: "I'm not a gentleman either, I'm a woman, hehe." ”

The voice of the shopkeeper came from inside the house: "Oh, the big boss is back?" It just so happened that the meal was ready, so let's eat it together. Everyone entered the house together, Lan Xiangyu looked around and asked, "Uncle Li, where is the thin monkey?" The shopkeeper brought out the food from the back room and replied: "I'm going to find Xiaocui, this kid has gotten along with that Xiaocui, and he doesn't go home every day!" ”

Lan Xiangyu knew that this Xiaocui was the daughter of Uncle Liu next door, and the thin monkey was not young, so she should have started a family a long time ago. She thought for a while and said to the shopkeeper: "Uncle Li, don't we still have a dozen taels of silver in our hands, take it out as a bride price, and do the things of the thin monkey and Xiaocui." The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Cheng." ”

The food is not rich, after all, the world is like this, it would be good to have something to eat. There are also tens of thousands of people up and down Heishui Village, and in order to solve the problem of eating for these people, Lan Xiangyu and Xiong Wei are not less worried.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for Hu Meng to pick up the vegetables in his left hand, Lan Xiangyu helped him put the dishes into the bowl, Hu Meng thanked him, he looked at Lan Xiangyu and stopped, and finally sighed and ate with a low sigh. Lan Xiangyu had already seen his appearance in his eyes, and said softly: "Brother Hu, Third Brother Ma, they still have no news...... I'll send someone out to investigate in a few days, so don't worry too much. ”

Hu Meng put down the dishes and chopsticks and shook his head: "Madame, don't look for it, it's been almost three years and there is no news from them, I estimate ......" He didn't continue, but everyone present knew it, no one wanted Ma San and Ding Yueming to have an accident, but the cruel truth was in front of them, under the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of golden soldiers, dozens of them were safe and sound?

Thinking of the scene when Hu Meng was found from the pile of corpses, Lan Xiangyu felt a deep sadness in her heart, and then after all-out treatment, although Hu Meng saved his life, his right hand was cut off and he became crippled forever, while Ma San and Ding Yueming and other others did not see anyone alive or dead. The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little depressed, and everyone stopped talking about it and bowed their heads to eat.

"Brother Liu, come and see what is written here?" After dinner, Lan Xiangyu grabbed Liu Banxian as usual, took out a notebook from her arms, flipped to a certain page, and asked. Liu Banxian looked at it and said, "What is written on it is the method of making hot air balloons, well, I'll take a look...... It's quite detailed, Wu Zheng, this kid's brain is really enough, he knows all these things. ”

Hearing Liu Banxian praise her husband, Lan Xiangyu smiled. This small book, which she regarded as a treasure, was found in Wu Zheng's room without telling others after Wu Zheng's disappearance. She wanted to leave something for her beloved, something that belonged only to herself.

The book is densely filled with fonts, and there are many unbelievable patterns, although Lan Xiangyu can't understand it, but she can find the feeling of her husband between the lines, and she falls asleep with it in her arms every lonely night, as if hugging her beloved.

After that, she gradually discovered that there were many articles about the things recorded in this book, from which she actually found the production method of firecrackers and cannons, and she immediately understood that all the things recorded in this book were Wu Zheng's inventions and creations! Recalling the first time she met Wu Zheng, Lan Xiangyu felt that this young man was absolutely extraordinary, and then thought of a series of things he did later, she affirmed her opinion even more.

After the war, she fled with Liu Banxian and others, on the way she tentatively asked Liu Banxian about Wu Zheng's life experience, but did not get a clear reply, and then she thought of a plan to force Liu Banxian to speak the truth, and the answer she got shocked her heart.

Her husband is really not an ordinary person!
