Chapter 22: Spreading Rumors
Today's streets in Liangshan Town are not as deserted as usual, and there are obviously more people than when they came last time, Mingyue asked tentatively, "Today's gathering?" ”
Zhang Langzhong nodded, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be so lively!" ”
When the two of them walked to the door of a blacksmith shop, they saw Mingyao, who was an apprentice in the blacksmith shop, and seemed to be waiting for the two.
Ming Yao walked up to the two of them, took a bag in his hand, and said, "Zhang Langzhong, Yue'er, what about the legs of the young master of the Xu family?" ”
Zhang Langzhong said, "It's not a matter of a day and a half, it's a matter of taking your time." ”
Mingyue saw the burden on Mingyao's shoulders and said curiously, "Big brother, who are you?" ”
Mingyao shook the burden on his shoulders and said, "Let's go back to the outer mountain village first, let's talk on the road." After saying that, he took the lead and walked ahead.
Mingyue was still the first time to see the ancient bazaar, looking east and west, and walking slowly, Zhang Langzhong and Mingyao saw that Mingyue always couldn't keep up, so they also slowed down.
"Where's home?"
"In Dalu Village, it's called Li Yun."
Hearing Li Yun's name, Mingyue stopped, pretended to stand on the stall selling head flowers in the annex, looked at the head flowers, and continued to listen to what the two women said.
"Really? So many dowry? ”
"There are so many dowries, whose girl is willing to marry him, it is said that the leg cannot be cured, and he will always be a paralyzed person in the future."
The other woman lowered her voice, and Mingyue leaned closer to the two of them, and the other woman who listened to her asked, "Is that okay, can you have a baby?" ”
"I don't know about this, why, I can't marry your girl?"
"I'm not greedy for that little money."
"If you want to be greedy, you may not have a chance to be your girl's turn, I heard that since the news came out, many people have taken their own girls to the rice shop to find Li Qiang, but it is very popular."
Mingyue finally couldn't help it, and after thinking about it in her heart, she had an idea, pretending to gossip, and asked, "What the two aunts said was that Li Yun, who was paralyzed in Dalu Village?" ”
The older woman turned her head to look at Mingyue, saw that it was a young girl, looked at her curiously, and said, "What? Does the girl know her, or do you want to try it too? ”
Mingyue responded, "I'm not stupid. I'm from a village near him, but I've seen it once, and he still has a scar on his face, which is scary, and I've heard that he committed an accident at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and then fled to this Dalu village to take refuge? ”
The two women heard Mingyue's words, and looked at Mingyue with a look of surprise and curiosity, and Mingyue deliberately lowered her voice, "The two aunts can tell others, I also heard that he has a paralyzed leg, and his temper is not good, and he often beats and scolds people, and no one in their village dares to go to his house, because I heard that he has killed people at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”
"Huh? Actually a murder fugitive? Oh, my God! ”
"Otherwise, you think, our border is so poor, and he has so much savings, why do you stay in a small village on the edge of our small county." Mingyue continued to break blindly, as if Li Yun was already a real murder fugitive in her mouth, or a murder fugitive with a paralyzed leg.
Mingyue still wanted to continue to break around, and make some inhumane rumors come out, but she didn't want to suddenly pop out and keep her hand, and vigorously grabbed her and walked forward, Mingyue was about to fight back, and saw that it was Mingyao who was holding her hand and was just walking in front with Uncle Zhang.
Looking at the expression on the face of the eldest brother Mingyao, Mingyue knew that what he said just now must have been heard by Mingyao, Mingyao pulled Mingyue without stopping, and kept walking forward, only to walk out of Liangshan Town Street, and saw Uncle Zhang waiting in front.
Mingyue's hand, which Mingyao let go, glared at Mingyue angrily, and scolded, "Mingyue, how did you become like this, so ......?"
Zhang Langzhong didn't know why, looked at Mingyao, who was angry and hated iron, and then looked at Mingyue, who was embarrassed, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Mingyue grabbed her hair helplessly and explained, "Big brother, you misunderstood, those two women said that Li Yun was a paralyzed person, and wanted to let their daughter marry her, and found a way to occupy the property of Li Yun's family, so I deliberately slandered Li Yun like this in order to sabotage their plan." ”
Mingyao frowned and said, "That's none of your business, you are a woman who has not been out of the cabinet, so it will ruin your reputation." Do you know that Li Yun? ”
Zhang Langzhong listened to the content of the two people's words, listened to the general situation, and said, "Okay, don't quarrel, even if the woman has such a plan, she wants Li Yun to agree to marry a wife!" ”
Mingyao listened to Zhang Langzhong's words and said, "Li Yun's second uncle Li Qiang has been acting for Li Yun for this time, the streets and alleys of Liangshan Town are basically known, if this gossip spreads, who else dares to marry that Li Yun." Mingyue, tell me, do you know that Li Yun? ”
Mingyue nodded and said, "I went to his house with Uncle Zhang and showed him his legs. ”
Ming Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go back, don't do such a thing in the future." ”
Uncle Zhang asked curiously, "What did you say to those two women?" ”
Mingyue smiled and said embarrassedly, "I said that Li Yun may be a murder fugitive who took refuge in this small village in this small county." "I thought to myself that I really made it up a little too much, will this be bad for Li Yun?
Listening to Mingyue's words, Mingyao couldn't help but continue to chatter, "If this spreads, Li Yun will be guilty of making a wife if he can't marry a wife." ”
Mingyue muttered softly, "It's better to be like this." ”
Mingyao didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Mingyue smiled and said flatteringly, "Big brother, I said that I was wrong, I don't care about idle things anymore, and I don't talk nonsense anymore." ”
Hearing Mingyue's words, Mingyao was satisfied and didn't continue to talk about Mingyue, and said to Zhang Langzhong on the side, "Yue'er is not sensible, let Uncle Zhang see the joke." ”
Zhang Langzhong responded thoughtfully, "It's okay." He stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Mingyue turned to Mingyao and asked, "Big brother, why don't you stay in the blacksmith shop?" ”
Ming Yao said, "Something happened at home, and there was no salary to be an apprentice in this blacksmith shop, so I went back." ”
Mingyue let out an "oh", thinking that it would be good to go back, in Mingyue's opinion, even if he became an apprentice, opening a blacksmith shop to strike iron was not a good career.
Speaking of Li Qiang's side, many people originally brought their daughters over, and Li Qiang still wanted to pick a good one for his nephew, but he never thought that in less than a day, there would be no one, and even the girl who said that he would go to Dalu Village to see before returned the letter.
Li Qiang, who really couldn't figure it out, greeted his daughter Li Lan to look at the store, and went out for a walk.
When he walked to the street and met acquaintances to say hello, Li Qiang always felt that those people looked at him a little strangely, which made Li Qiang a little inexplicable and confused about what was going on.
When he walked to the Zhu family, who was familiar with him, as soon as he entered the door, Li Qiang said to a middle-aged man who was slightly older than himself, "Brother Zhu, why do I think the people on the street are weird today?" ”
Boss Zhu beckoned Li Qiang to sit down, and then said, "It's not that the people on the street are weird, it's the people on the street who look at you weird, right?" ”
Li Qiang asked, "How do you say that?" ”
Boss Zhu looked at Li Qiang seriously, "Tell me honestly, how did your nephew Li Yun break his leg, why did he go for so many years, and suddenly returned to the Li family two years ago?" ”
Li Qiang said, "He went to his grandfather's house with his mother, his mother died, of course he has to go back to Li's house, as for his leg, he is paralyzed, what's wrong?" ”
Zhu Lao Dao, "Didn't you fight or be paralyzed?" ”
Li Qiang retorted, "How is it possible, there is no scar on the leg." ”
"Didn't do anything?"
Li Qiang looked at Boss Zhu inexplicably, "What's the matter with you today?" Ask some inexplicable questions? ”
Zhu Lao Avenue, "It's spread all over this street, your family Li Yun is a murder fugitive in the capital, and he fled to our small county town to take refuge." ”
Li Qiang slapped the table next to him and said, "Who is talking such nonsense, I'll just say, why didn't the girl come to the door this afternoon, it turned out that who was stumbling in the back." ”
Zhu Laodao, "Don't get angry first, think about whether you have offended someone?" ”
Li Qiang said, "It's not that you don't know me, how can you offend anyone?" But Li Qiang still went through it in his mind, and he didn't find anyone who would slander his family Li Yun like this.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Qiang's mind, and he patted his thigh and said, "This kid must have made it up by himself, and if you don't want to marry a wife, you don't need to slander yourself like this!" ”
Boss Zhu glared at him and said in surprise, "Your nephew passed it on himself?" ”
Li Qiang nodded and walked beside him, "It must be him, he has always said that he will not marry a wife, I will leave first, I have to go back first." ”
Li Yun, who didn't go out at home, inexplicably carried the black pot for Mingyue.
Mingyue and the three of them returned to Waishan Village It was almost noon, Mingyue didn't go to Zhang Langzhong's house, she followed Mingyao home directly, and as soon as she got home, Mrs. Ming asked, "Where is Shiro?" ”
Mingyue said helplessly, "Milk, the county seat where Xu Yuanwai went in the morning, wait to negotiate with the yamen and release the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle will come back, and it will be almost dawn at the earliest." ”
Liu listened to the voice outside, and when he went out, he saw his eldest son Mingyao and asked, "Why are you back again?" ”
Ming Yao said, "Mother, there is no salary as an apprentice in the blacksmith shop, and the family is in such a difficult situation now, I should come back first, and then go to the county seat to find a job." ”
Listening to Mingyao's words, the Liu family began to cry, "This family has been dragged down by that loser, but how do you want us to live!" This whole family is going to be forced to die! ”
Mrs. Ming picked up the broom on the side and threw it at Liu, "What are you crying about, you are a troublemaker, do you want the boss to take a break from you." ”
Mingyao on the side saw that the battle was wrong, and hurriedly pushed the mother who was still crying into the house.
