One hundred and twenty-six chapters
"Lan Tianxing does not allow the disciples of the Lan clan to kill people, and we dare not disobey the orders of the eldest young master! But what..."The Rose King smiled again, "Those who don't know are not guilty, even if the young master comes back, he will not pursue you..."
"Young Master... Will it be back? Lan Hong was a little confused, "You mean... Lan Tianxing is still alive? But there are legends all along the way...".
"Do you believe hearsay? Lan Tianxing's matter should be Qiu Huai's news to you, right? When the Rose King opened the door and walked out, he said, "One stone can really stir up a thousand waves, this bait of the eldest young master is really worth the money...".
Great value for money? Lan Tianxing just threw out a virtual bait to fish out two forces that were extremely deep and cleared the hidden dangers within the Lan family, and he himself was also floating outside freely and having a good time.
'Meishan Village' is a very ordinary small mountain village near the foot of Meishan near the Meihe River, because the back of the mountain is like a crooked woman's willow eyebrows, so it has this "graceful" name, it sounds like a beautiful place, right?
In fact, the location of the village is far away from the city, and the geographical location across the mountains and rivers is very remote, although the surrounding scenery is very beautiful and pleasant, because of the remote and economically underdeveloped, the average living standard of the people in the village is not very high.
The income is too low to build a new house and marry a wife, so almost all the young and middle-aged men and women in the village go out to work to earn a living. Those with better conditions will also bring their children to the city to receive a better education, so there are only some old and sick people left behind in the village, and this beautiful and quiet little village seems to have been abandoned, watching the sunrise and sunset every day to live a very primitive and simple life.
Near the foot of the mountain, there is a small two-story building, which was built by the head of the village for his son. As soon as the new house was built, I heard that it was haunted inside, and the whole village could hear the ghost cry coming out of it in the middle of the night, because the people in the village believed that there was a mysterious power in the underworld, so during that time the people in the village were panicked.
What's even more terrifying is that it didn't take long for the village chief to suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage and die halfway before he could be sent to the hospital. There is a legend in the village that there was a small mountain temple in that homestead before, which was left over from the Yin and Qing dynasties. During the special period, when the four old ones were smashed, they were demolished, and the village chief's house must have angered the mountain god, and it was the mountain god who condemned him.
There is no way to verify whether the legend is true or false, but I heard that later the son of the village chief also went to work in other places, and this small building has been idle and no one dares to approach, all for fear of offending the mountain god and being stained with bad luck. After five or six years of desertion, the village chief's son came back to renovate the house, saying that there was a relative in his family who liked the green mountains and rivers here and wanted to come here to recuperate for a while.
The people in the village are very curious, and when they hear such a new thing, they also want to join in the excitement to inquire about some news, and by the way, see what kind of relative dares to rub sand in the eyes of the mountain god, but the relative is closed every day and does not interact with the neighbors in the village at all.
There is a family about 20 meters away from the east side of the small building, the original head of the household is a local surnamed Pang, when he was young, he was a gardener in the city and was very good at raising flowers and grass, because he had no children and no daughters, and he returned to the ancestral house to live a quiet life after retirement, and planted his house in front of and behind the house like a small garden.
Pomber entered the city once about a dozen years ago, and when he returned, he brought back two young men in their twenties. It is said that he is his distant nephew, because he is a little disabled and it is difficult to live outside, and he needs someone to take care of him when he is old, so he just stays to support him in his old age.
After Pomber's death five years ago, his two nephews remained here. One of them was deaf and dumb, with a cold face all day and never said a word, while the other handsome young man occasionally had some contacts with the local villagers, and on the surface he couldn't see anything different from normal people, even if it was really different, the villagers didn't understand.
They lived quietly here for more than ten years and never caused trouble in the village, and the villagers were accustomed to the existence of these two people over time, and when Pang Bo was alive, he called the handsome young man 'San'er', and he never hooked up with another 'deaf and dumb man', so no one knew his name.
The spring sun is very warm, and there is always a kind of cozy laziness shining on the body, and 'San'er' is mruning flowers and plants in the yard, and this work has become his profession since Pomber's death, and he has always liked to tinker with these things. He turned the front and back of his house into a paradise, and watched the person he wanted sit in the garden every day to bask in the sun, even if it was only coarse tea and light food, he wanted nothing else.
The 'deaf and dumb man' leaned back in the rocking chair and basked in the sun, and did not close his eyes as usual, but looked in the direction of the small building and kept looking at something, his focused expression surprised 'San'er'. What could be good about this backcountry that piqued his interest?
"What are you looking at? Belle? "San'er also looked in his direction, there was really a young girl on the balcony of the small building, who looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old, but her figure was a pregnant woman with a thick waist and a round belly.
"Is that her? She's not... Brother Sheng, she's..."San'er looked back at the 'deaf and dumb' in surprise and asked, "Why is she here?" ”。
"Who knows..."Brother Sheng also shook his head in surprise, but seeing that he could hear and speak and was very insidious, he was a normal person, so the word 'deaf and dumb' seemed to be an illusion made to hide his identity.
"Look at her appearance, it's obvious... Could it be..."San'er was surprised for two seconds before being a little surprised, "Could it be... We're going to hold our grandson, right? ”。
"Well, it should be..."Brother Sheng's expressionless face just now couldn't help but have a very happy smile, it seems that God really cares about him!
"It's so good, it's finally time for this day..."'San'er' threw down the scissors in his hand and wanted to go over to visit the new neighbor, even if he couldn't say anything, at least he, as an elder, should show his care and love, and make a little bit of the friendship of the landlord.
"Why?" Brother Sheng shouted at him and reminded, "Don't look for trouble...".
"Huh? Well... Wait a minute! "San'er" was reminded and suddenly remembered something, so he asked Brother Sheng, "I'm an elder after all, and it's not good to go empty-handed... Well... That girl's family background is so prominent, there shouldn't be anything missing, right? Oh... Let's send flowers, it's a little heart! ”。
"You give her... Sending flowers? Brother Sheng was slightly jealous, and retorted, "You shouldn't give this away, right?" ”。
"To express the meaning of friendship and welcome, to give to the child, prenatal education..."San'er explained, and carefully selected a few budding spring flowers in his small garden, and then made a more beautiful shape to pack, just about to go out to send the new neighbor over when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Brother Sheng didn't raise his eyelids, leaned back on the rocking chair and began to close his eyes to recuperate, and 'San'er' had to put down the 'congratulatory gift' in his hand and open the door first.
There was a young man in his twenties standing outside the door, and when he saw 'San'er', he respectfully accompanied him with a smile and asked, "You are the landlord, right?" ”。
"Huh? Landlord? San'er didn't listen to Yin Bai and asked him, "What are you doing?" Want to ask for directions? ”。
"It's not!" The young man still handed over an ID card with a smiling face, and explained to himself, "My name is Wang Yinliang, and I want to rent a house here with you...".
'San'er' took the ID card and looked at it twice and stuffed it back, "We don't rent a house, let's go and ask somewhere else!" ”。
