Chapter 223: To Each His Own Way
Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian were idle for a few days, and Qin Mufeng and the others were busy for a few days. On July 28, the day of the official start of the relocation of the mass grave in Gaojia Village, Cheng Haofeng was worried that Gui Chongxu, who was in charge of this matter, would not be able to suppress the scene, and said that on the first day, he should make a big show and let Qin Mufeng bring everyone away.
Only Hu Xianxian was left in Yizhuang to accompany Cheng Haofeng to recuperate, and when it was almost noon, they were about to cook when they heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Most of the villagers in this poor and remote area ride cattle and donkeys, and the cultivators who come and go to Yizhuang do not ride horses.
The two looked at each other suspiciously, and Hu Xianxian soared into the clouds and looked into the distance, only to see twenty or thirty people galloping on horses.
"It's some strong men riding tall horses, a little bit of a gangster, Gui Dao Chang and Qin Dao Chang they can handle it."
After Hu Xianxian saw it clearly, he landed and told Cheng Haofeng, he tapped his fingers on the coffee table, thought for a while and said: "It should be the remnants of the bandits in Gaojia Village, although it can't make any trouble, it's better to be careful." ”
She was about to ask him if he needed to go and tell Gui Chongxu about them, but she heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching Yizhuang. These people didn't take a detour to Gaojia Village, what are they doing here?
Hu Xianxian was a little nervous, she was not afraid of these people, even if these people were vicious bandits, she could easily kill them all, she was afraid of another incident. Being able to kill them doesn't mean being willing to kill them, she doesn't want Cheng Haofeng to see anything annoying.
The horses that those people rode were all fat and strong fast horses, and they had already rushed to the gate of Yizhuang when Hu Xianxian was thinking about something.
Those people banged on the door, Cheng Haofeng calmly asked Hu Xianxian to open the door, Hu Xianxian gritted his teeth and said: "If they dare to make trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
As soon as the door opened, the twenty or thirty strong men rushed in, and Hu Xianxian hurriedly retreated to Cheng Haofeng's side, and with a wave of his hand, he and he were enveloped under the light shield formed by the foggy net.
Cheng Haofeng said to her with a smile and a smile: "Immortal, you figure out the situation and then cast a spell, look at their ......"
Hu Xianxian looked closely, those big men knelt down in the courtyard, and those kneeling big men looked around. Even if they are fierce, they are only mortals, and they can't see the two Hu Xianxian hidden in the light mask at this moment.
The one who knelt first of them knelt down only one leg, and he said calmly, "They are immortals, and it is not surprising that they suddenly disappeared." They could see what we were doing, and we thanked them and rushed to the grave. ”
Hu Xianxian felt that this person was a little familiar but couldn't remember who he was for a while, seeing that his left hand was broken at the elbow, and his right eye was blindfolded, he suddenly remembered that he was Gao Youbao!
Gao Youbao knelt on one leg and kowtowed, and recited aloud: "I, Gao Youbao, thank you two for burying my relatives and fellow villagers!" ”
It turned out that he had come to thank him, Hu Xianxian removed the fog and gapless net, appeared and said, "No need to say thank you." ”
Cheng Haofeng raised his hand to signal them to get up, "We didn't handle the matter back then, and we implicated many people to die in vain for no reason, and letting them settle down is also for us to be in a peaceful state of mind." ”
Gao Youbao got up and smiled at them, and said loudly: "If you mix in the rivers and lakes, you have to have clear grievances, I really thank you for everything you have done for the victims of Gaojia Village, but I also remember that the girl surnamed Hu hurt me!" ”
This Gao Youbao originally had a centipede-like scar on his face, but now he has added a black eye patch, and he has more fierce appearances, and he really looks hideous when he smiles!
He approached Hu Xianxian and said, "So, I thank you for just kneeling on one leg, I'm afraid that you can't afford to be able to bear the etiquette." ”
At this time, Gao Youbao is no longer the scoundrel gangster of the year, and his calm bearing cannot be posed by putting on a posture. However, Hu Xianxian is not the innkeeper who posed with a dead branch back then, even if he is a hero, he is only a mortal after all, and she wants to kill him just by a gesture.
It's just that Hu Xianxian felt that it was best not to do it if she could not do it in the current situation, so she said sneeringly: "Are you going to take revenge after thanking you?" Hmph, you're still a bit of a gangster, and if you want to do it, I can teach you another lesson! ”
Gao Youbao was not angry by her words, but said very seriously: "I'm not the kind of person who can't measure himself, I just have to be vigilant at all times to figure out what kind of person I am!" I chose the path of licking blood from the knife edge, so I had to be prepared to lose my head from time to time. I hold a grudge, but I don't hold a grudge against you. ”
Hu Xianxian was a little surprised when he heard his words, and she didn't care about some other people kneeling and kowtowing and saying some words of thanks, just thinking about the sentence "figure out what kind of person you are".
Gao Youbao shouted, and those people all stood up, and when they turned over and got on their horses and were about to leave, one of them hurriedly ran back to Yizhuang.
"Help me, Cheng Daochang, Miss Hu save me!"
The two of them looked at the fat man with a sweaty face and wondered, and at this time, Gao Youbao chased after him in a hurry.
"Dezi, what the hell are you making trouble?"
Hu Xianxian heard Gao Youbao call him, and then remembered that this fat man was Gao Youde, who had been a witness in the case of kidnapping Pan Zongqiang.
Gao Youde knelt at Cheng Haofeng's feet, pulled his robe and said, "I don't want to mix anymore, I'm afraid of blood, I'm afraid of ......."
Hu Xianxian stopped Gao Youbao, who insisted on pulling him away, and Gao Youde was able to slowly tell the truth.
Gao Youde spent several years in prison after testifying, and after being released from prison, he was exiled to a small border town and was almost sold as a slave.
Gao Youde, who was funded by the Mai brothers and sisters, returned to Lingzhou City and worked as a coolie to make a living, but inadvertently ran into Gao Youbao, who had become the new leader of Panlong Village. Gao Youbao wants him to be the second master, he knows that he is not the material, and he is unwilling to live or die.
Gao Youbao was so anxious that he stomped his feet when he heard him say this, "Dezi, are you a little promising?" Why are you willing to be a coolie on the dock and not want to sit in the second position of Panlong Village? ”
"I've always been a timid person, if you hadn't dragged me to find Brother Biao, I wouldn't have taken the road to find food on the knife edge to death!"
"I know your virtues, I won't let you do dangerous things, I just want to find someone you can trust to help me! If you think about it, there are only two of us left with brothers who grew up together! ”
Hu Xianxian understood what they meant, and interjected: "Gao Youbao, you know what kind of person you are, but do you know what kind of person he is?" You value the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, you don't want to live a lifetime, but he just wants to live the rest of his life in peace! ”
Gao Youbao smiled bitterly and pulled Gao Youde up, "Dezi, do you know how uncomfortable I felt when I watched you squat under the eaves of other people's houses and nibble on cold steamed buns?" Can't you have a good job? ”
Gao Youde didn't open his face and didn't agree to him, Hu Xianxian persuaded Gao Youbao, "Rabbits love to eat grass, tigers love to eat meat, each has its own fun, why do you want to force it?" I've got a way to make him mix better, do you want to hear it? ”
Hu Xianxian said that since Metaha had saved Gao Youde, he must believe that he had washed his hands of gold and could let Gao Youde go to Mataha's caravan to do things.
Gao Youbao thought for a while and did not object, Gao Youde said that Metaha had not returned to Lingzhou yet, so Hu Xianxian asked him to go to the Yingxian Pavilion in the city of the Mai family to find the plug first. He also instructed Gao Youde that when he took him to see Metaha, he should remember that he had recommended him to him, and that Metaha would definitely keep him.
Gao Youde happily agreed, and kept saying sorry to Gao Youbao, saying that he must pray for the Bodhisattva to bless Gao Youbao every day.
Gao Youbao jumped on the horse and led people away, and his voice with laughter in the distance came: "Dezi, you don't curse me!" You'd better find a mother-in-law to spread the branches and leaves for Gaojia Village as soon as possible! If you talk to me in front of the Bodhisattva, you will only make the Bodhisattva angry and I will be punished for not living enough! ”
Gao Youde watched them go away with a smile, and after thanking Hu Xianxian and the two again, he also said goodbye and left.
