Chapter 19
Ji Mingyue couldn't think of a reason, so she simply picked up chopsticks and ate noodles.....
As soon as the chopsticks were entered, Ji Mingyue was a little speechless and stopped, and finally hesitated for a while, but Ji Mingyue still spoke.
"The third master, I know that you cook noodles very hard, but there is one sentence I still want to ask you......"
"Well, just ask!"
"Well, did you forget to put salt?"
It's not that Ji Mingyue picks her mouth, it's that Huo Ting's cooked noodles are really just noodles, except for the poached egg accident, there are no other side dishes, it's just a simple boiled noodle in white water, and it doesn't even have a salty taste.
"There's no salt in the house!" Huo Ting put down his chopsticks indifferently and said.
"How can there be no salt?" Ji Mingyue was puzzled, although it was said that Huo Ting's noodles were not just a matter of salt, but now the issue of salt was indeed a more important issue.
Ji Mingyue thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was not much salt in the salt jar at home before. Neither of them has been allocated salt to bring back these days.
"The salt on this island wasn't brought back by you by hijacking the ship, you are a hero, you should take care of this salt enough!" Ji Mingyue muttered.
Huo Ting glanced at Ji Mingyue and explained, "All the materials looted on the island must be handed over to the stockade and distributed by the big boss."
"Co-author, you who came back from grabbing salt, you don't have salt to eat. So what do you want to be a pirate? ”
Speaking of this, Ji Mingyue suddenly became a little curious, most of the people on this island became pirates because they were forced by life and had nothing else to do, or they had been pirates since their grandfather's generation, so they had no choice.
But Ji Mingyue felt that Huo Ting seemed to be different, first of all, he was strong in martial arts, that is, he should not be a pirate to go to the rivers and lakes to walk darts or be a chivalrous man, decent and free, and he didn't have to be controlled by others. What's more, unlike the islanders, Huo Ting is literate and educated. Not to mention on this island, even in the city of Fuzhou, there are not many people who have read and can read and write. If you want someone like Huo Ting to be able to write and martial arts, it is not difficult to find a job.
"Three masters, why did you come to this island and become a pirate?" Ji Mingyue became more and more curious.
"Officials, coercion, people, and anti!" Huo Ting said.
Ji Mingyue choked, this person doesn't have to be so perfunctory, so he doesn't have to be so sorry for words.
Seeing Ji Mingyue pursing her mouth with an expression of internal injury, Huo Ting was helpless, but still patiently explained, "I was born in an ordinary peasant family and was raised by my mother. Later, the imperial court conscripted and enlisted in the army. A few years ago, I was granted family leave, but when I went home to visit my mother, I found that she was no longer alive and that the family's land had been forcibly occupied. After several inquiries, I learned that it was the Fuzhou garrison who colluded with the county order to encroach on the fertile land and force my mother to death. ”
"I can't do my filial piety when the Son of Man is alive, but this revenge cannot go unavenged, so I cut off the head of the guard. It's just that since I'm a soldier of the army, the battalion naturally can't go back after committing such things, and I heard that the lord of this Nanao village is entrenched on an island, and he can fight against the imperial court on the water, so I had to take the head of the garrison to make a petition, just to seek a place to stay! ”
"I see!" Ji Mingyue looked suddenly enlightened, but she was slandering in her heart, "I believe in your evil!" ”
This story doesn't sound like a problem, but this story is very inconsistent with Huo Ting, Huo Ting can't tell from the inside out that he is a poor child from an ordinary peasant family raised by a widowed mother.
That's right, the key is that it stands to reason that his mother was killed, even if he has taken revenge, but he shouldn't have such a faint look when he mentions it again, he should grit his teeth and want to dig up the enemy and whip the corpse. And Huo Ting seems to be telling the story of someone else's family.
No wonder Huang Tianbao was always suspicious of Huo Ting's identity, even Ji Mingyue herself was suspicious of Huo Ting at this time.
However, Ji Mingyue also didn't ask anymore, she didn't want to know too much, and she would be killed when the time came. Curiosity kills cats, it's better to know less!
"Huh!" Huo Ting sneered, this woman's tone was so perfunctory, it was obvious that she didn't believe it. This set of rhetoric is what he said to Huang Tianbao on the island, but in the face of Huang Tianbao, Huo Ting didn't dare to take it lightly, so he naturally responded with the spirit of fighting for twelve points.
He knew that there were some things that could not be concealed, such as his own kung fu, so he simply said that he had been in the army. In order to avoid mistakes, the story he told was not his fiction, but real, the child raised by the widowed mother was his subordinate, but on the night of revenge, he was stabbed to death by the guards.
It's just that in front of Ji Mingyue at this moment, Huo Ting is too lazy to act, anyway, it doesn't matter if this woman believes him or not.
After eating the noodles, Huo Tingli cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and instructed Ji Mingyue to stay at home and not run around, before going out. He had often rushed back to the dockyard when he got the news, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him in the dockyard.
And he injured the person of the big boss, and the big boss is afraid that he is already waiting for him in the dock at this time.
As soon as Huo Ting left, Ji Mingyue couldn't sit still. Although Huo Ting said that Hua Gu was taken care of, Ji Mingyue was still not at ease, so she simply packed up some plasters and rushed to Hua Gu's house.
The door of Hua Gu's courtyard was open, and there was no one in the courtyard, so Ji Mingyue went in directly. I thought everyone was in the house, but when Ji Mingyue entered the house, only Hua Gu was lying on the bed alone, and there was no one else in the room.
"Girl, you're here!" Hua Gu was very happy to see Ji Mingyue coming, and struggled to sit up, but at this moment she was injured all over her body, and she could still move.
Ji Mingyue hurriedly put down her things and helped Hua Gu up, and said a little angrily, "What about that person, didn't he say that he was taking care of you, why did he leave you here alone?" "Even the courtyard door is not closed, if the one-legged man comes to trouble Hua Gu again, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Hua Gu!
Hua Gu smiled, because she had just woken up, her face was still a little pale, "You said he, didn't he invite me to see Lang Zhong's injury, anyway, he can't help anything if he stays here, I'll let him go back first!" Hua Gu paused, "Actually, when such a thing happened, he didn't dislike me, he came to see me, and he found Langzhong for me, and I was already satisfied!" ”
"Sister Hua, shouldn't he be due!" Ji Mingyue was even more angry, "Besides, those people beat you so much before, why didn't you confess him?" Maybe you can suffer less! ”
"Sister, even if I confess to him, I will not escape death. That being the case, it is better for me to suffer all these sins alone, so why should I involve him again. What's more, if it weren't for him all these years, I wouldn't have been able to live a long time ago, and I owe him a debt to him. ”
Ji Mingyue was a little aggrieved for Aunt Hua, "Sister Hua, why are you so stupid!" ”
Hua Gu patted Ji Mingyue's hand and smiled, "Sister, I'm not stupid!" Anyway, whether I say it or not, it's a death, but if I don't say it, he will always think of my good, if I don't die, then he owes me, and he has to pay back! If I confess to him, even if I don't die, then we may have nothing. ”
Well, what Hua Gu said is not unreasonable, but Ji Mingyue is still a little angry in her heart.
"But you're so badly injured now, you can't just leave you home as if you were okay, what if those people come back!" ”
"Those people won't come again, he's dead!" Hua Gu's face suddenly said indifferently.
"Who? Who died? Ji Mingyue guessed who it was, but she couldn't believe it, after all, it wasn't a fatal injury.
"My husband died while he was on the beach, bleeding from a lot, and his body was carried and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Death is like a lamp going out, and besides, there is the backing man in your family, and his brothers should not come again! ”
Speaking of this, Hua Gu's originally dim eyes suddenly became scorching and shining, and her eyes revealed a bit of happiness and even ecstasy, and she held Ji Mingyue's hand tightly with her slender but scarred hands, "He's dead, finally dead!" Sister, I'm finally free, no one will torture me anymore in the future, I can get married, I can marry Zhao Da......"
"Who? Who are you talking about! Zhao Da? Ji Mingyue sat up in shock, this amount of information is a bit big.....
