Chapter 80: Breaking Through
As usual, this year's Spring Festival is still filled with the cheerful atmosphere of the arrival of the festival, but the palace is bleak, the high red lanterns are still hanging under the corridor, and the door of the mansion is also the same as in previous years, and the word spring has been pasted early.
This Spring Festival, there was no laughter and laughter in the house, and there was no singing, some were just the busy pace of the servants coming and going, everyone was silent, and Steward Wu arranged everything properly, and let everyone line up and receive the monthly money.
In the past, every time the monthly allowance was issued, the big guy was very much looking forward to it, for fear that he would go late and be preempted by others. Since Le Zhengyu has been in charge of the feeding for a year, everyone will be rewarded during the New Year's holidays, and the monthly number is naturally more than usual.
This year is still the same, looking at the heavy money bag in their hands, everyone is really happy, but they just can't laugh on their faces, what are they laughing at, the hostess in this house is gone, and they are all in a dead place, and they will never return to their former style.
In a low farmhouse outside the capital, there is an old woman who is doing needlework sitting cross-legged on the earthen kang, who is too old to light a kerosene lamp in the house, and can only reflect the faint light that comes in from outside the house.
At this time, an old man of average age walked in from outside the house, the old man's clothes were short but clean, and he involuntarily shrank back, which showed that he was not lightly frozen.
"O old woman! It's a cold day, it's spring, and I haven't seen the willow branches sprout in the field, and it's cold this year..."The old man shook the dust on his body like the wind in his sleeves, patted his upper body, and sat cross-legged on the kang like an old woman.
"Isn't it? A few days ago, several people froze to death on the stake on the west side! The old woman pursed her lips and spoke, with a thread in her mouth that had not yet been recognized.
"Alas... I just came back from the street, the eldest brother is still cleaning up the stall, I'll come back and tell you first, the east of the village, something happened! The old man's voice suddenly lowered by eight degrees, and his face was mysterious.
The old man beckoned, and the old woman came over with his ear, and it seemed that the two had a tacit understanding, although the roof in disrepair did not leak wind and rain, but it still could not be compared with the high-ranking families in the city not far away.
"Huh? Isn't it okay to have a good time? This is really a sin... Wang Po wanted to let her eldest brother get ahead all her life, and she was blessed for a short time, that's it, it's really a poor family shouldn't want to look forward to clinging to others! ”
"Yes! Although we are a little poorer, we will not send our children to that big family to be tortured, no, there are not a few good days, and there are no people. ”
The old couple's low conversation sounded from the room, and a young man outside the door came back with a burden, beckoning to the old couple from a distance, no matter how poor the life is, he will not sell his children and daughters to seek glory!
On the machine name mountain, Le Zhengyu was also spitting out these words, it has been a few days on the machine name mountain, and after stabilizing, he got in touch with Qi'er and Tsundere Jade Shi Yunyue'er, who were sent to Qingmengyao, on this day, Qi'er sent the big and small anecdotes in the capital recently.
As soon as Yun Yue'er arrived at the place, she said in her mouth, "Master, master, Yue'er misses you so much!" Why did it take so long for you to recall Yue'er...", and so on, she thought it was a very beautiful word, but she turned around at her feet, and rushed in the direction of Jimo Sulang and Xuanyi.
"Little Momo, do you have any new friends? Do you want me? Wow... Momo, your new friend will still spit out circles! It's amazing, come, show again..."
In this way, after Yun Yue'er came back, Le Zhengyu's head was never clean, and in his sleep at night, his ears were also the magic sound of Yun Yue'er's chirping, which made the quiet and fresh Jimingshan suddenly noisy.
Think about that day, Jimo Sulang was accidentally forced to fall into the enchantment in the fox, and let them find it easily, but to no avail, in the end, it was Mu Ke who re-set every barrier in the mountain, and the fox and Jimo Sulang fell out of the original enchantment.
Le Zhengyu couldn't help but want to lock Yun Yue'er into the enchantment immediately, just because this energetic spirit stone was too noisy, which seriously interfered with her doing things.
"Princess, there is one thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not.." Qi'er's cowardly voice reached the ears of Le Zhengyu, who was drinking white porridge.
She looked indifferent, glanced at Qi'er casually, and said, "What can't you say, you've told me so much in the past few days, and it's not bad for this one, let's say it!" ”
Qi'er was panicked, yes, she did tell the princess about almost the entire capital, but she avoided the palace alone, so this...
"Princess, then I said, don't drive me away!" Qi'er opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.
"Princess, the prince has been hovering under the famous mountain for several days, and the affairs of Beijing and China have also been put down, so he doesn't ask anything, just look for a path up the mountain at the bottom of the mountain!"
After saying this, Qi'er closed her eyes and secretly glanced at Le Zhengyu with her spare eyes, who knew that when her princess heard the name of the prince, she was not as rich as when she heard that the second lady was carried into the palace a few days ago, at least she would frown, what about now? The face sinks like water!
"Lord Wang, this machine is famous and has a lot of organs, do you really want to break through? Aren't there still some days? The subordinates worked harder, and they couldn't tell if they would be able to figure out which way to go straight to the top of the mountain. ”
Under the mountain, he tried the path up the mountain for several days, but the guard, who was still fruitless, said earnestly.
"It's okay, it's a waste of effort to find it again, even if you go to the top of the mountain, the mechanism is still there, and you still can't enter, so it's better to break in faster than this king directly." Jimo looked at the deep primeval woods and had a plan in his heart.
"Wait for the king at the foot of the mountain, and after three days, if the king does not return, go to the gate and tell their master about it." After Ji Mo Yu finished speaking, he swung his robe and brushed his sleeves away.
It didn't take long for Mu Ke to rush over, "Yu Yu, do you want to take your son and apprentices to hide first, and I'll go out to meet the battle." ”
His casual expression made Le Zhengyu sneer, "Your famous mountain has been attacked for more than half a year in a year, and it hasn't been breached?" I'm just sitting here, and if I really attack the mountain, I can still resist you for a while, so you can go and come back quickly. ”
Obviously, Le Zhengyu didn't take such frequent provocations in his eyes, Mu Ke's expression darkened, and he still looked casual, and turned around and left after saying "yes".
It's just that at the moment of turning around, there was no smile on his face, and a silent and fierce expression hung on the corners of his slightly hooked mouth, and Le Zhengyu, who was immersed in reading a book, still moved and did not notice anything wrong.
