Chapter 144: The Old Man
Liang Wei shivered inexplicably, and could only pray that Zhang Tianchen could slip away smoothly. The two of them never imagined that this boy would be so nosy for a strange girl.
Those big men all went to pursue Zhang Tianchen, and there were only a few husbands left in the broken temple.
Zhang Tianchen, who was running away, kept scolding his mother in his heart, he ran so much that his legs were broken, and these men still followed very closely. He played peek-a-boo with these people in the jungle on the hillside, but fortunately he was able to cope with the road in advance.
But they didn't rejoice for long, for these men came to help them again, some of them stopped at the bottom of the mountain, some patrolled the top of the mountain, and some searched the mountainside, as if they were digging three feet into the ground and trying to catch him.
He thought strangely while hiding, he didn't rob any silver taels, but he just hurt Liang Wei's flesh and skin, as for catching him so much? Couldn't Liang Wei persuade this guy? Let my brother hide so hard......
In the abandoned temple, perhaps Liang Wei's face became more and more ugly, and Gongzi began to talk about his past: "Do you know why I hate bandits the most? ”
Liang Wei shook her head, in this era of war and chaos, everyone has miserable things, and she is used to it.
"My name is Mu Feng, and I was born into a rich family. My parents were businessmen and taught me how to do business from an early age. They told me that there should be a law and a way to operate, and that communication should be based on faith and sincerity. For a long time, our family has never committed any illegal acts, and we often give free porridge for medical treatment to accumulate a good reputation. But the world has changed, and the villagers have changed from the original gratitude to insatiable greed. A group of thugs in the town were dissatisfied with my family's no longer giving them porridge and rice, so they suddenly rushed into my house with the bandits and killed anyone they saw. My mother hid me in one of the most remote kitchens and went to my father alone. ”
Hearing this, Liang Wei only felt like falling into an ice cellar. The scenes of that year came into view, and she forced herself to remain silent, but she couldn't help but tremble from the bottom of her heart. No wonder she felt that this boy was so familiar, it turned out that the little boy she had been thinking about all these years was him.
"Then I was discovered by a girl who snatched the only thing my mother had left me. I almost gave up all my dignity to beg her, but she picked up the kitchen knife and stomped on my hand. Later, I chased it out and found that the robbers had long since left. The villagers, who usually seemed to be kind, burst into my house and snatched everything from me, and my parents' heads hung in front of the door with blood hanging like this. ”
Liang Wei only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and asked with difficulty: "How have you come over all these years?" ”
When my father's friend heard the news, he quickly brought someone to check on the situation. When they arrived, there was not even a single piece of rubble left in the house, and I was left standing there in despair. Later, he took me to the house and took care of me. Every night, I dream of the ferocity of the robbers and the cheers of the villagers who poured into my house. I can't help but wonder, what did my family do wrong to cause them to treat me like this? Just because we are smart and make more money than theirs, it is ill-gotten gains? Just because we didn't give all of our family's money to others, is it unkind? Mu Feng said it lightly, but Liang Wei could feel the pain hidden in his heart.
"I'm sorry......" Liang Wei said unconsciously, feeling how damn he was for the first time. But she was afraid of death, and quickly changed her words: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reminded you of the sad things of the past. ”
"It's okay, I'm doing well for now." Mu Feng touched the big boxes covered with red cloths, the haze in his eyes dissipated, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved.
Liang Miaomiao asked with some curiosity, "What are these?" ”
Mu Feng replied, "These are my dowry. My uncle's family is warm and pure, and his daughter and I have a deep relationship since childhood. After the weak crown, I borrowed some money from my uncle to start a business, and now I not only have my own shop, but also buy a new house. A few days later, I will come to the door to propose, in fact, we have already discussed when we will get married. ”
Liang Wei froze in place for a long time, if she was given another chance, she also wanted to be a warm and pure woman.
It was getting dark, and the people who had captured Zhang Tianchen had not yet returned. Mu Feng didn't seem to be in a hurry, and ordered someone to start a fire to cook.
As soon as the fire was raised, thunder was heard outside. Liang Wei looked out, the wind was whistling outside, the branches were blown to a rattle, and in an instant, a downpour fell.
It was summer, and it was hot and muggy for several days, and finally it rained.
Purple snakes tore through the dark night sky, and the pouring rain poured down like a waterfall. Liang Wei was secretly happy in his heart, but Mu Feng frowned: "The rain will wash away the footprints, I don't know if they caught the robber." ”
There were footsteps and some noisy conversations outside, and Liang Wei was shocked, could it be that Zhang Tianchen was caught?
After those people came in, Liang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a group of people who came in to take shelter from the rain.
There were six big men in the shape of a biao, who also carried a box of goods, and when they came in, the entire ruined temple was crowded with people and goods, and it was cramped.
After the big men put down the container, they were so tired that they were panting, and they didn't know whether it was sweat or rain.
They greeted Mu Feng: "Brother, borrow your piece of cloth as an envoy." ”
Before Mu Feng could reply, they tore a red cloth covered by Mu Feng's bridal gift and wiped up their cargo box.
Mu Feng was very good-tempered, not only did he not get angry, but also reminded them: "Your cargo box is drenched in rain, wipe the water outside, and then see if the things are wet." If the goods are wet, it is easy to become moldy and damp. ”
The six big men didn't talk back, wiped the water on the box and didn't open the box to check the goods. Mu Feng asked them to come over and bake their soaked clothes, but they didn't want to, so they formed a circle next to the cargo box, vigilantly guarding.
Mu Feng's little servant couldn't stand it anymore, and muttered in a low voice: "My son-in-law greeted them kindly, and they were still on guard everywhere." Speaking of which, my son-in-law's goods are not cheap, but I haven't seen such neuroticism. ”
As soon as the little guy's words were finished, the big men suddenly stood up, with a fierce momentum and an unhappy face.
Many people's faces have changed, they are not afraid of fighting, what they are afraid of is that they accidentally bump these full goods during the fight.
Mu Feng had an apologetic face and said sincerely: "It's okay to discipline the contemptible people, and I bumped into a few heroes. I'll teach this little guy a good lesson when I get back. ”
One of the men said: "If it weren't for the son's persuasion, I would have broken that little guy's dog's legs." His gruff voice seemed to stir up a layer of dust on the ground.
