Chapter Twenty-Five: Pulling the Back of the Cushion

On a new day, Zhang Fatzi, who was already in the prison and was about to become moldy, finally saw that the door was opened, and a beam of sunlight shone on him.

He had never felt such a sense of being born again.

With a bang, the door of the cell was pushed open, and a servant entered, holding a rather hearty bowl of food.

"No! Hurry up and eat, and you're good to go! ”

The official said indifferently.

Fat Zhang's face turned blue with fright, and his voice trembled.

"Up...... Hit the road! What does this mean and how...... How can I finish writing ......?"

The official smiled disdainfully, leaned towards the edge of the cell, and said in an indifferent tone: "Hey! I've seen a lot of people like you who rely on themselves to be a bit backstage and do nonsense. ”

"You say you can't settle down a little bit and take care of your own affairs, right? You have to finish your life to finish, you don't offend ordinary people this time, it's over. ”

The official waved his hand away as he spoke.

The fat man in the cell sat on the ground with weak legs and buttocks, and until now he still couldn't believe that his life was over like this.

"No, I can't just finish there."

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, began to write and draw on them, and then threw them out of the cell with a thud.

In the Liu's Distillery, since the unfavorable rumors about the distillery have disappeared, the customers of the distillery are still as many as before.

Lu Xiyi couldn't get out of the brewery at all, and spent all day researching new fruit wines.

"How's it going?"

Zhang Xu didn't know when it started, and suddenly appeared behind her.

"How did you get here, you must have been tired from the first two days, right? It's not easy to get it done, so don't hurry up and go to rest and rest. ”

"You're a great doctor, I can't afford to deal with anything if something happens!"

Lu Xiyi covered his mouth and said jokingly.

Zhang Xu tapped her on the head.

"Okay, it's not been a day or two since the two of us met, so don't tease me."

"You don't want to call me one by one, just call me Ah Leng as before, so as not to look angry."

Lu Xiyi smiled sweetly: "Okay, Ah Leng." ”

Ah Leng saw Lu Xiyi so happy, he felt a lot more comfortable, and silently swore in his heart that he would take good care of her.

She just does what she likes and leaves the rest to him.

When Ah Leng was thinking about it, Lu Xiyi suddenly exclaimed.

"Great, great, it's finally done!"

Lu Xiyi raised his wine glass high, looking delighted.

He also handed the wine glass to Ah Leng's face, his eyes shining: "Taste it!" ”

Ah Leng sniffed, this fruit wine was full of aroma, and the fragrance of fruit made people intoxicated.

He took a sip, and the sweet and slightly spicy fruit wine slowly slid into his throat, making people feel like a fairyland, and they would never want to leave.

"This wine has a long aftertaste, moderate stamina, it is really a good wine, you are really a natural winemaker!"

Lu Xiyi, who was praised, was full of joy in his heart.

On the very second day, Lu Xiyi launched a newly made fruit wine, which received numerous praises once it was launched, although it was only a small sample.

That night, the Liu family said unprecedentedly that they wanted to reward Lu Xiyi.

The door was closed early, and the family took Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng to the best local restaurant, and ordered the most expensive wine and food.

At the beginning, everyone at the wine table had a good chat.

Slowly, the wine was almost drunk. Liu Dalang's face was flushed with drinking, as if he had already gone up.

He stood up suddenly, his hands slapping on the table, a little emotional.

"Girl, you say! You said that since you came to me, your uncle is sorry for you, even if there is, it is your aunt's, but I don't owe you anything! ”

"You eat me, you wear me, you use mine! What's wrong with you telling me how to make sake? This winery was originally our Liu family! ”

Lu Xiyi couldn't help but tremble when he looked at Liu Dalang's emotional appearance.

How so? I thought about how she could have defected to them if she hadn't been cornered.

If Huang Yue's words were to say them, forget it, but let Liu Dalang say them, which would be too hurtful for Lu Xiyi.

She endured her sadness and choked up, "Uncle...... Uncle, it's not that I won't say it, my mother told me this method. ”

"I ...... I swore on her deathbed that I would never tell anyone about this. ”

Liu Dalang loves money and cares, where can he listen to what she says.

"Don't give me tai chi here, you're as annoying as your mother!"

"Uncle, you...... I'm fine no matter what you say, but how can you say my mother! ”

Lu Xiyi straightened up, Gu was strong, but tears were rolling in his eyes.

"That's it, it's the treasure they don't understand, Xiaoxi, let's go!"

Ah Leng couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Lu Xiyi's hand and rushed out of the restaurant.

The moonlight was very bright, and he seemed to know that Lu Xiyi was in a bad mood, so he tried his best to shine.

The backs of one big and one small were walking by the moat, Lu Xiyi was still sobbing quietly, and Ah Leng, who looked aggrieved, was apologetic, and he should have brought her out earlier.

The river was cool and the evening breeze was blowing, he took off his cloak and put it on Lu Xiyi's body, gently patted her back and comforted: "Okay, okay, they are too much in this matter, why do you torture yourself?" Just let it pass. ”

Lu Xiyi looked at Ah Leng with red eyes, his nose was sore, and he suddenly squatted on the ground and cried loudly.

After crying out loud, she felt a lot better, and she wiped away her tears.

It's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable, and the road still has to be walked.

She quickly sorted out her emotions and proposed, "I don't want to continue to live this kind of life under the fence, let's go." ”

Hearing this, Ah Leng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Yes, according to the current situation, even if the two of them go back, the couple will not give them a good face.

These days, he also earned some money by teaching people archery, and it was not a problem to open a small restaurant.

And it is not a long-term solution to stay in Liu's Distillery, and what Lu Xiyi said makes sense.

He nodded, touched Lu Xiyi's head, and replied, "Okay, just follow what you say!" Let's leave tomorrow. ”

The two finally reached a consensus, and just as they were about to leave, an evil wind suddenly blew.

Years of combat experience tell Ah Leng that the current situation is dangerous.

He immediately protected Lu Xiyi behind him, and said cautiously: "Be careful, just follow me obediently!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of black-clad assassins with long swords in their hands, who knew at a glance that they were well-trained assassins, suddenly surrounded him.

"Who are you?"

The black-clothed long sword suddenly shook, and replied without any warmth: "The one who wants your life!" ”

After speaking, those people immediately posed and stabbed at Ah Leng once.

In the shadow of the sword, Ah Leng was at ease, protecting Lu Xiyi while dealing with various attacks of the assassins.

In less than a moment of incense, the Assassin was almost down and lying on the ground.

"Even a few of you bastards dare to touch me, I want to see whose orders you are so bold!"

As a result, Leng began searching for tokens on the Assassins' bodies.

After searching one after another, he finally found the token on the body of an assassin, and was about to look at it, but the assassin was still dead.

"I'll just ...... Even if you die, you have to pull a cushion! ”

After the assassin finished speaking, he stabbed Aleng into his body.

Ah Leng's eyes suddenly went black and fainted.

When he woke up, he was completely unfamiliar with the environment, and he knew it must be an inn when he looked at it.

Just as he was guessing, the door of the room was opened, and Lu Xiyi walked in with a bowl of steaming millet porridge.

"You're awake, but you're scared to death."

"Feeling better? Drink some water. ”

As she spoke, she picked up a glass of water and handed it to Rang's lips.

After drinking a few sips of warm water, Ah Leng suddenly felt that he had come over again, and he also had some strength.

He asked, "How did I get here?" ”

Lu Xiyi stirred with a spoon while blowing to make the millet porridge cold faster.

Hearing Ah Leng's question, she glanced at him and replied, "It was so late that night, and I didn't feel comfortable leaving you there alone, so I carried you to the inn." ”

The porridge was almost cold, so she scooped a spoonful and handed it to Ah Leng.

"Open your mouth!"

Seeing that Ah Leng obediently took the medicine, Lu Xiyi was relieved, and said to himself: "Uncle will definitely not be able to go back, so he can only go to the inn." ”

"But it's nothing, anyway, the Liu family didn't treat me as their own, but you almost had an accident that night, but it scared me to death!"

In order not to worry Lu Xiyi, Ah Leng smiled: "Okay, okay, aren't I okay?" Don't worry. ”

Seeing that Ah Leng was deliberately happy with himself, Lu Xiyi couldn't help laughing.

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

When Ah Leng heard the voice, he almost instinctively asked, "Who is it?" ”

The cold voice made Xiao Er outside the door suspect that he had found the wrong person.

Lu Xiyi remembered that he had asked Xiao Er to inquire about the restaurant for him.

She said to Ah Leng: "Don't be nervous, it's just the second shopkeeper!" I asked him to come up at this time. ”

"It's okay! Come in! ”

Lu Xiyi spoke, the door was slowly pushed open by Xiao Er, and a Xiao Er wearing a high hat and holding a rag walked in.

"Miss Lu, the matter of the restaurant you asked the little one to inquire about already has an eyebrow."

"A businessman from the south said that Liuzhou City has been very lively in the past two days, saying that the eldest son of the local Zhou family winery owes a sky-high debt, and they are about to sell the winery to pay off the debt!"

"It's just that the owner of this winery, Zhou Yuanwai, is an unpleasant person, and on weekdays, he relies on his own stinky money to unite with the county officials to oppress the people, and now no one is willing to rescue."

Xiao Er spitted and spoke.

Lu Xiyi also listened carefully and asked, "Then what if no one buys it?" ”

Xiao Er suddenly approached and replied: "The girl can be regarded as asking the point, I heard the merchant say that if Zhou Yuanwai can't come up with the money in three days, the son of the Zhou family will be arrested and used as a coolie for the rest of his life." ”
