Seeing Mingyue's hand shaking, Luo Ping's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly rushed to Mingyue, took Mingyue's hand, checked it one finger at a time, and said in a panic: "You scratched, how did you do it?" ”

Mingyue retracted her hand embarrassedly, and said abruptly: "It's not mine, it is estimated that the shopkeeper's scratch is somewhere, and the blood is smeared on Duobaoge." However, this is your private domain, so why did he come in while you weren't there? And dancing around with a knife? ”

Luo Ping looked at Duobaoge with a slight expression, and then looked back at Mingyue, who had a calm and waveless face, and his eyes were looking at him for a moment.

Luo Ping's heart suddenly changed, and she understood in an instant, she was pretending to be nonsense, she was waiting for her own answer, even if it was an answer she didn't want to hear, she had to choose to ask directly.

She was suspicious, but she didn't run away in a panic, which was beyond Luo Ping's imagination, and it also showed that she still had illusions and trust in herself.

Luo Ping stood up with a chuckle, walked to Duobaoge, stretched out his hand, and pulled Duobaoge with the "Quick Knife Luo" Taoxin Knife forward, and then pushed it to the side, Duobaoge appeared a one-person-wide door, and the slightest fishy smell came with the cool breeze, there was a sense of silent loneliness, and there was a mysterious sense of forest.

Luo Ping pointed to the door and said: "The blood stains may have been accidentally smeared by Wang Feng when he pushed and pulled, my ingredients here are precious, such as the sea cucumber and abalone you just used are all sent from other countries, after they die, they will be stored in this igloo, cold as early winter all year round, you can come to eat sugar ice in summer." ”

Freezer? Mingyue was so happy that her eyebrows fluttered, and she was about to push the door in, but Luo Ping had already "snapped" her palm, and scolded her: "This ice storage is strictly managed, only Wang Feng can enter, and I can't be an exception." And this knife, it's not that I can't let you use it, but it's a gift from the elders, and it's been with me for many years, and I haven't used it for five years now, and I don't want to use it again. On this multi-treasure grid, except for this knife, you can choose whatever you want to take away, and I don't blink an eye. ”

Mingyue shook her head and replied solemnly: "No merit, if I knew that your chrysanthemum fan was so valuable, I wouldn't take it." It's good for me to spend my own money and earn it myself, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well. ”

Mingyue respected Luo Ping's explanation of the "freezer" just now, and also cooperated with her "believing", which was very reasonable, but her heart always had a feeling of not falling bottom.

Luo Ping pointed to the blank fan that was resting on the table and said, "Why did you twist up the inscription?" Are you afraid that your words will be too ugly? ”

"How ugly is it...... Mingyue retorted coquettishly.

Putting aside the doubts in her heart, Mingyue held the brush in her hand, pondered for a moment before putting down the pen, and wrote down eight words "The gentleman is like jade, such as pondering and grinding".

When the ink was dry, Luo Ping closed the fan, and opened the fan quite complacently, winked at Mingyue in a chic manner, and returned to the appearance of the cheap boy who cried and shouted in Yixiangyuan to pursue the red peony, sure enough, this fan is a good artifact, without it, Luo Ping's son is just a quiet-light-elegant handicap, with it, he immediately became a sassy-wave-cheap merry boy, Mingyue covered his face for the sentence "gentleman is like jade" inscribed by himself, and seriously doubted that the previous calligraphy everyone who gave him a fan, is deliberately mentioning the sentence "the heart is as simple as a simple person, and the person is as light as a chrysanthemum", which is clearly intended to satirize Luo Ping, a "cheap-person", through the insinuation of "Jane-people".

After a while, the soup cup was personally sent by Wang Feng and placed in the middle of the table, and the aroma was already fragrant through the lid of the cup, filling the whole room.

The ingredients are carefully divided into multiple levels, full of fresh fragrance, although each ingredient is not much, but the variety of ingredients is complicated, and it is stewed in a whole large jar.

Mingyue smiled evilly and grabbed the tentacles of an octopus and wanted to put it on Luo Ping's plate, but Luo Ping quickly flashed aside, his face swept unnaturally, and he replied: "I, just eat shiitake mushrooms." ”

In addition to the Buddha jumping over the wall made by Mingyue, there is also a stewed duck Zhen and a braised rabbit, which are also extraordinarily delicious to eat, no questions, one question is startled, these two dishes were actually made by Luo Ping before the arrival of Mingyue, Luo Ping really knows how to cook, and the craftsmanship is extraordinary.

Luo Ping didn't eat much, but Mingyue ate so much that her stomach was full, and she hiccups one after another, which attracted Luo Ping's frequent sideways, and he wanted to laugh but was afraid that Mingyue would give him the cuttlefish of "Eight Horses Splitting the Corpse" again, and he endured extra hardship.

The guests enjoyed a meal, and the bright moon saw that it was not early, so she resigned to buy New Year's goods.

The man stood at the window, looking at the back of Mingyue fading away, the warm smile on his face was hidden, holding the fan with Mingyue's inscription, and gently chanting: "A gentleman is like jade, like a grinding", the corners of his mouth are raised, he laughs lightly, his voice is getting louder and louder, and he is instantly stunned, and he is infinitely miserable: "What kind of jade am I, not even the most rotten mud; I haven't scratched it, I've lost my edges and corners, what is the difference between the round stone in your hand and the dying cuttlefish! ”

The man breathed a long sigh of relief, called Wang Feng, moved away from Duobaoge, stretched out his hand to push open the cold door, the door opened, a stream of ice mixed with blood rushed to his face, raised his eyes to look in, it was another world, the long stairs went down, at the end was a low and cold room of twenty or thirty square meters, on a wooden couch that only allowed one person, there was a boy of six or seven years old lying quietly, his face was as white as ice and snow, his eyes were empty like nothing, under the bed, a basin of red blood, like a greedy demon looking at the world.

On the edge of the wall, there is still a long bed, on which lie four young men, all with chapped lips and pale faces, after seeing Wang Feng, his eyes immediately shrank and his head was lowered, trembling all over, and his hands and feet did not know where to put them.

Luo Ping looked back at Wang Feng, Wang Feng shuddered, and replied respectfully: "Master Hui, these four have been hungry and thirsty for almost three days, and they will be able to transport to Beijing after the New Year." ”

Luo Ping's eyes were blank, but his hand was slowly raised, and a "snap" hit Wang Feng's face, Wang Feng's face appeared with a slap print, and he didn't dare to say anything, Luo Ping slapped again, and then shook his hand and said: "Wang Feng, how hard I have worked to pass this idle five years, your negligence, showing that I was exposed to people, and my uncle will definitely detain me back to the capital, and live that kind of day and day like walking on thin ice, night and night." ”

Wang Feng knelt on the ground with a plop, attacked with his left and right palms, hit his cheeks swollen, and kowtowed again and again to apologize, although he was older than Luo Ping, but he was a teacher from Luo Ping, and he practiced a quick knife, and after years of contact, he knew the master's fear of the capital and his uncle's fear. I really deserve to die, and I just want to have a way to remedy it.

Luo Ping let out a long sigh, looked at the hungry and thin young man on the bed, and said angrily: "This place is exposed, change places." On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I personally sent these 'dogs' back to Beijing, but the quantity and quality were somewhat insufficient, so I tried to find more and better ones to make my uncle happy. ”

Wang Feng nodded yes.

The man waved his sleeves away, Wang Feng stared at the four teenagers and a child angrily in a blink of an eye, and said in a vicious voice: "I am hungry and thirsty, not allowed to eat or drink, when I see the master in the future, you must remember one thing, you are the master's people, you have to use all your strength to serve, the master is happy, and your rich day is coming." ”

The sound of ticking water dripped from the roof of the shed to a stone bowl on the ground, next to the stone bowl, there were a few meat buns, the eyes of the four withered yellow teenagers stared at the water bowl tightly, as if staring at their own fading life, the biggest teenager was anxious, and rushed to the water bowl and buns like lightning.

The young man took two sips, drank a bowl full of water, opened his mouth and swallowed a bun, his skills were so agile, even Wang Feng, who has always been strong in martial arts, did not stop him, perhaps, he had no intention of stopping it.

Wang Feng was not in a hurry to leave, but shook his head with a sneer, hugged his shoulders, and watched the young man continue to grab the second bun.

Wang Feng was still pale, looking at the young man like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

As Wang Feng expected, the young man was like a loach fish that had just been thrown on the shore, curled up on the ground, jumping jubilantly, and then fell into the oil pot, rolling left and right, and finally fell to the ground stiffly, never moving again, and his heavy breathing was no longer audible.

The blood basin that was knocked over by the young man in the tumbling sprinkled all over his face, and under the blood was his gradually pale face, and the back of his hand with green tendons.

The blood flowed silently into a bluestone-like sink under the bed, slowly and slowly, not knowing where it was going.

The remaining boys and boys, their eyes were round, their faces were as pale as the breathless teenagers, the teenagers were huddled tightly in the innermost corner of the bed, their eyes wandered between Wang Feng and the dead man in horror, their hearts were like a tangled mess, how to sort it out, and they still don't understand why they ate and drank water, but they became the little ghosts of Lord Yama.

The six-year-old child on the couch alone had just arrived, and finally changed his sluggish expression when he first entered the house, looked at Wang Feng in horror, and exclaimed: "Drinking water and eating will die, why, why do you still have water bowls and food in this house?" ”

A rare trace of sympathy flashed in Wang Feng's eyes, and when everyone thought that he would not answer, he looked at the youngest boy with inky eyes and said: "Because, only by resisting the temptation can you have the wealth of the sky." In the future, you will have to endure much more temptations than this full meal and a cup of hot tea, and you will have to accept many more punishments, and sometimes, death is a relief. ”

Wang Feng turned around without hesitation, once upon a time, he had also been soft-hearted and uncomfortable, but after his heart was soft-hearted, he would not do anything less, but he would make himself more troubled, and he would be stronger. All troubles are born from the heart, and I can't be like the master, entangled in pain and fear every day, and I want to live and live well.

Wang Feng left, leaving a few young boys unaware, just staring at the water bowl and buns in fear, at this time, in their eyes, the buns were already deadly poison, and even the saliva was bitter and difficult to swallow.
