The sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun stained half of the sky red.

After dinner, the heart of the pillar was like grass, absentmindedly encircling chickens and ducks, Ma Yong's daughter-in-law didn't even respond to his screaming a few times, and stepped forward to split his head with a punch, "Dead man, where did the soul go......"

"Mother......" the pillar cried out as he covered his head.

"Send this to the village chief's house......" Ma Yong's daughter-in-law filled a pot full of beans and stewed rabbit meat.

Ma Yong had just shot a hare in the afternoon.

"Mother ......" looked at the meat in the basin, the pillar snorted, and his eyes were full of anger, "I'm not going!" ”

"Those two big officials didn't leave, each family sent rations, if we don't go, the village chief will hold a grudge......" Knowing that the pillar hated those two big officials, Ma Yong's daughter-in-law softened her tone and sighed, "That's a big official from the city, listen to your aunt, they can kill people with a casual word...... What can we offend? Go ahead, whatever they ask, you can say anything, don't be able to make a fart with three bars......"

"Don't let him go......" After feeding the pigs, Ma Yong put the pig food bucket in the yard, went into the house to wash his hands, and took the basin, "I'll go and see ......"

"His father ......" Zhu Ziniang was a little unbearable, "You are tired for a day......"

"The pillar is stupid, don't say the wrong thing and offend the official......"

Ma Yong's daughter-in-law thought about it, and pushed the pillar that was standing there in a daze, "Don't stand stupidly, go and pick up the firewood that your father frew......"

……

"His father, didn't those two officials ask about Ah Qiu?" The pillar squatted on the edge of the stove pit and eavesdropped on his father and mother.

"Asked, I said he disappeared early in the morning......" Mayon paused, "was it the pillar that sent him away?" ”

Ma Yong's daughter-in-law squinted at the West House: "I didn't even let out a fart when I came back in the afternoon, and I didn't say anything about it...... no matter how I asked" sighed, "You say, Ah Qiu's father is really a big bad guy?" ”

Ma Yong took a puff of cigarette, knocked the pipe under the root of the kang, entangled it with the cigarette pouch, and put it on the stool on the ground, "What does a teenage girl know?" , sleep......"

Seeing that the lights in the East Room went out, the pillar gritted his teeth tightly, quietly picked up the prepared baggage from behind the door, and tiptoed out the door.

"Sister...... Sister ......" The pillar pulled the place where Mu Wanqiu was hiding during the day in a panic, "Ah Qiu...... Ah Qiu......" There was a cry in his anxious tone.

How can there be her shadow!

The pillar crouched there stupidly, the cold moonlight shining on him, and his face was never pale.

Suddenly, as soon as he grabbed his baggage, he turned around and ran towards the mountain road, and just after going around the tree, he hit a man head-on, and the pillar shivered violently, and he took two steps back, and looked up.

"Daddy......" Seeing that it was Ma Yong, the pillar shouted miserably.

“…… Did you hide her here during the day? Looking at the burden in the pillar's hand, Ma Yong asked.

"She's gone......" Pillar jerked his head up, his eyes full of worry, "...... In this dark night, wolves, snakes, tigers and leopards, she is alone in the mountains......"

“…… You can't catch up. A trace of worry flashed in Ma Yong's eyes, and he stepped forward and tugged at the pillar, slowing down his tone, "...... Let's go back. ”

"Daddy......" the pillar snorted, and stood there refusing to leave.

“…… Ah Qiu is calmer than you, and his brain is smarter than yours, so he will be fine. Father Zhu looked back at the rugged and long path that disappeared into the depths of the jungle like a snake, and sighed inaudibly, "Each person has his own life, and whether he can get out of the mountain depends on her creation."

"Daddy......" the pillar wailed, "she's a girl......"

Ma Yong interrupted him, "...... You stole all your mother's money and gave it to her? ”

"I'm ......" Zhu Zi lowered his head in a panic, for a long time, and snorted, "Hmm......" Yu Guang quietly looked at Ma Yong's face.

Ma Yong's face was gloomy, he couldn't see joy, he dragged the burden of the pillar, turned his head and walked back, "That's your mother's lifeblood, go back and admit your mistake with your mother......"

"I can also hunt for money...... pillar stood there stubbornly.

Leaving Ah Qiu alone in the mountains here, he really didn't feel at ease, she must be hiding somewhere to spend the night now, he rushed overnight, and he would definitely be able to find her.

"I know that if you ran away with her overnight, the officials in the city will arrest me and your mother......" Ma Yongtou did not reply.

The pillar shuddered for a moment, his face immediately turned pale, and he stood there stunned and stared at his father's slightly curved back, and under the moonlight, Ma Yong's temples reflected a layer of silver-white light.

"Daddy......" walked more than a dozen steps, and Ma Yong heard the footsteps behind him kicking and catching up, "I want to learn martial arts from the silent monk......

……

The sky is blue, there is not a trace of wind, the scorching sun has smoked the earth, the cracks of the little finger thickness on the yellow and desolate soil have spread in all directions, such as the wrinkles on the forehead of the septuagenarian, full of vicissitudes, not far from the city gate, in a vast cornfield, the leaves are rolled, the yellow and haggard ground begs to the sleepy pedestrians, a little black dog suddenly sprang out of the field, startled a few ducks croaked and ran to both sides of the road, rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Han Dayou and Wang Qi, the guards of the city gate, wore only a gray sleeveless kan printed with the red and yellow word "pawn" on their upper bodies, and leaned listlessly in the city gate cave to hide in the shade.

"His grandmother's, it's really poisonous this day, if it doesn't rain again, it's really going to die......" Han Da had a stone to beat away the little black dog that ran to the city gate.

"I heard that the Lord of Long Live wanted to abolish the prince, and he killed a loyal minister who protected the prince, and was punished by heaven...... "Wang Qi moved his body, changed to a cool place, his back was close to the city wall, and his eyes fell on the dry moat from the city gate that was sunburned like crops in the ground, and the pedestrians fell on the dry moat, "The damn is really going to die, even the moat is dry, my grandfather said that this is a great drought that has not been encountered in a hundred years......"

Ji Lingling shivered, Han Dayou, who was originally listless, sat up straight, looked at the city gate, and saw that the pedestrians were hanging their heads, and no one paid attention to their conversation, so he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back again, and felt that the place he was leaning on just now was hot, and moved to Wang Qi's side, "You can't talk nonsense, be careful about losing the guy who eats one day......"

“…… Just your fucking cowardice! Wang Qi snorted disdainfully, "This is the prince's territory, what are you afraid of, the eldest master of the Zeng family is a ** who is determined to step on it, the prince is about to be abolished, he is not afraid, and he is dressed brightly and oilily in the underground restaurant, you are afraid of a **!" Pointing to the city, "The people in the city are talking about it, and the government is staring at you?" ”

The ancestors of the Zeng family have been in business for three generations, and I heard that in addition to not being involved in the incense shop, the Zeng family's money village, casino, business, pawnshop, tea house, grain store, salt shop, etc. have opened all over the Great Zhou.

How can they compare to a little city gatekeeper?

Han Dayou was very dissatisfied with Wang Qi's statement, but Wang Qi was a cross donkey, Han Dayou was too lazy to fight him, and raised his eyes to look out of the city.

“…… Victims from all over the country began to pour into the city, and if it doesn't rain anymore, I'm afraid our life will not be easy. Seeing that Han Dayou was silent, Wang Qi looked at the three members of a family of three in rags and unkempt clothes who were passing through the city gate cave and muttered to himself.

When the victims in the city couldn't squeeze in, they, the city gatekeepers, would not have such a leisurely life.

“…… Lo and behold, there is another one. Thinking that they were going to have no leisurely days, Han Dayou looked into the distance with his eyes, and scolded in his mouth, "Damn, the crops are dying, so they ran here in a hurry, thinking that this city is heaven, and they don't want food?" Swallowed and spit, "It's so noisy that there is no nest, and we don't have any leisure, so it's better to stay at home honestly and wait for the rain to rain, I heard that the prefect Xu sends a boy to the Longwang River every day, and is begging for rain......"

"Don't listen to Lord Xu farting there, the water of the Dragon King River is almost dry, if there is really a Dragon King, ...... early" Halfway through the words, seeing Han Dayou look over, Wang Qi also felt that these words were a bit blasphemous, so he hurriedly closed his mouth, his eyes looked out of the city gate, and a small figure in ragged clothes was hobbling towards them with a dog-beating stick, "Hey, this is thin enough, look at the bones of that body, I haven't eaten for about half a month......" Han Dayou also looked over, "Damn, it's still a girl......"
