Chapter 188: Brothers Against Brothers
After the dirty white cloth was revealed, under the white cloth was not a face distorted by a spell, on the contrary, a pretty white and tender melon seed was reflected in Shao Yonglin's eyes.
This woman is really handsome, her eyebrows are bent into the willow leaves, and her lips are beautiful, in this troubled world, it is really a rare beauty, and it is no wonder that Zhang Xijian will be so lost in her soul, Shao Yonglin was the age of blood and strength at the time, only because of his life experience, so he has been bumping around all these years, and he has no other thoughts in his heart except for revenge.
Shao Yongxing saw that Shao Yonglin was stunned with a white cloth in his hand, so he hurriedly patted Shao Yonglin's shoulder and said to him, "What's wrong?" ”
Being so factioned by him, Shao Yonglin came back to his senses, only to see that he hurriedly threw away the white cloth in his hand, and then shook his head at Shao Yongxing, and said that it was nothing.
Shao Yongxing saw that he seemed to be a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart, seeing that the daughter of the big family just fainted and there was nothing else serious, so the two discussed how to send her back.
Shao Yongxing thought very simply, he planned to wake up the girl and let her go home by herself or the two of them carried her back, but Shao Yonglin felt that it was very inappropriate to do so, and he said to Shao Yongxing at that time: "Brother, have you thought about it, such a thing happened, if her parents and in-laws know about it, what would it be like?" ”
Indeed, at that time, although the Qing political axe had collapsed for a long time, and the germ of new ideas gradually grew up in the land of China, but the feudal ideology of thousands of years has long been deeply rooted.
At that time, Shao Yongxing also felt that it was such a reason after listening to Shao Yonglin's words, he thought that his brain was not enough for his younger brother, and he was used to listening to his younger brother's words, so he said to Shao Yonglin: "Why don't we wake her up and secretly carry her back?" ”
Shao Yonglin shook his head at the time, only to see him say to Shao Yongxing: "It's still not appropriate, you have to know what if she wakes up, she will definitely treat us two as robbers, and when the time comes, we will die without proof, so we must not suffer this injustice?" ”
After Shao Yonglin finished speaking, he saw that Shao Yongxing sighed, and then said to him: "Then do you have a way?" ”
"What is this way............" Shao Yonglin looked at the beauty in the sedan chair at that time, after thinking for a long time, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and he saw him say to Shao Yongxing: "Or...... Let's take her away. ”
"Take her away?" Shao Yongxing's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted in disbelief: "What are you talking about? Where can we take her? ”
Shao Yonglin was also impulsive in his heart at that time, plus his surname when he was a child, in fact, he had this idea when he saw this woman's face for the first time, he wanted to marry this woman as his wife, if you want to say that this impulse can really kill people, where can the young and vigorous Shao Yonglin think so much? He just felt that now that he had said what was in his heart, it was better to leave it at that, so he raised his head and looked at Shao Yongxing and said, "Brother, I want to marry her, and then we will go on the road together." ”
"Are you crazy?" After Shao Yongxing heard Shao Yonglin say this, he was very shocked, in his eyes, although this girl has not yet passed the door, she is already someone else's daughter-in-law, where can you do this kind of thing of snatching people's wives? Although he usually obeys Shao Yonglin's words, he really can't agree to this, he felt in his heart at the time, isn't it because his younger brother fell into some kind of magic when he was fighting with the person of the Golden Witch Sect just now, so he is not sober? Thinking of this, he grabbed Shao Yonglin's shoulder and said very eagerly: "Yonglin, you are sober, she is someone else's daughter-in-law, how can we do such a thing?" ”
"Why am I not sober?!" Shao Yonglin was a little anxious when he heard this, only to see him shake Shao Yongxing's hand away, and then said to him: "Originally, she didn't have a good time going back, why can't she take her away?" Besides, she hasn't been through the door yet! ”
Shao Yongxing's mouth was not as good as Shao Yonglin's envoy, seeing Shao Yonglin say this, Shao Yongxing was instantly choked speechless, and only after he came back to his senses did he say to Shao Yonglin: "No, how can this work?" Yonglin, listen to me, we can't do this kind of thing, let's ............"
"Get out of the way!" Zhao Yonglin looked at Shao Yongxing's appearance at the time, and couldn't help but be annoyed, in fact, he himself had some reason in his heart for this matter, but his surname is like this, the more you don't let him do it, the more he has to do it, and now when he saw Shao Yongxing blocking it, he suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart, so that he remembered all the encounters in the past few years, and saw him sneering at Shao Yongxing: "Why don't you let me do it?" Just because you are a shaman, you don't want to think about it, who is the reason why you can live to this day, but now you still want to stop me? ”
"I ...... I ......" Shao Yongxing quite understands Shao Yonglin's temper, and also knows that he is not willing to say anything because he is angry for a while, originally the two brothers usually quarrel with Shao Yongxing and let him, but today's incident does make him a little angry, you must know that if Shao Yonglin really occupies that woman, then what is the difference between him and that Zhang Xijian and the Golden Witch Cultist? Thinking of this, Shao Yongxing couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and now he heard him carry out Shao Yong to press him, Shao Yongxing finally couldn't hold back, he said loudly to Shao Yonglin: "It's because of our father, so I can't let you go wrong!" ”
The two brothers quarreled more and more, and then Shao Yongxing's heart was also very chaotic, only to see that after his stubborn temper came up, he also knew that he couldn't talk about his younger brother, so he took a step forward and grabbed the girl's shirt and shook it violently, the girl slowly woke up, and Shao Yonglin saw him do this, and his heart suddenly exploded, only to see him pointing at Shao Yongxing's nose and scolding: "You can do it, you really can do it, big brother!" will turn your elbow outward, great shaman, I have convinced you! ”
After that, Shao Yonglin turned his head and ran, Shao Yongxing looked at Shao Yonglin who was far away, and felt a sense of loss and grievance in his heart, but he didn't regret it at the time, and at this time the girl slowly woke up, and when she saw Shao Yongxing, she couldn't stop screaming, Shao Yongxing spent a while to quiet the girl, and then told the girl everything that happened, and the girl couldn't help crying after hearing it.
It turned out that last night when the girl was sleeping suddenly smelled a smell of blood, when she was half asleep, and thought she was dreaming, and when she opened her eyes, she only saw four women beckoning to herself in front of the bed, so the girl followed them uncontrollably to get up and dress up, at that time she was not clear-headed, she actually felt that this was the team that came to pick her up, but after waiting for the sedan chair, there was no memory.
And to say that this village is really small, it is a rare thing to usually have a singing and acrobatic team, let alone a dancing god, so last night this girl heard about Shao Yongxing and Shao Yonglin, and now she sees that Shao Yongxing looks honest, and what she said is also well-founded, so she is convinced of what happened to her, to say that this girl is also a smart person, I saw her kneeling in front of Shao Yongxing and hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Shao for saving my life, and please Brother Shao save me again and show me a way." ”
This stumped Shao Yongxing, you must know that because he had just quarreled with Shao Yonglin before, his heart was very chaotic at that time, where was there any good idea to help this girl lie?
In fact, the girl already knew in her heart, after all, women's minds are much more meticulous than men's, although she was shocked at the time, but she also thought that if tonight's events were known by others, then her life would be ruined, and she couldn't help but think about it in a hurry, seeing that Shao Yongxing didn't seem to pay attention, she couldn't help but plead with Shao Yongxing, asking him not to talk about tonight's events in front of outsiders, and he didn't have to worry about the things after that, and Shao Yongxing heard her say this, so he naturally agreed.
Speaking of which, the girl was indeed very strong, Shao Yongxing sent her home before dawn that night, and the girl bowed to him before entering the door, and since then what happened that night has been hidden in her heart until she died.
When the procession arrived the next day, the girl looked as if she was all right, except for a little haggard. I have to say that sometimes women are much stronger and more terrible than men, which is a truth that Shao Yongxing couldn't figure out at that time.
But this is just a small episode that happened in those strange years back then, when Shao Yu told me this story, I also wondered in my heart, how could this woman's psychological quality be so good? Could it be that she is also a cult?
But obviously not, and Shao Yu was ambiguous when he talked about this paragraph, so I couldn't figure out the woman's thoughts, maybe the past was like this, maybe Shao Yu listened to his father tell this paragraph, his father said this paragraph shorter, of course, these things are not something I can understand.
The book is back to the topic, talking about the matter of Shao Yongxing and Shao Yonglin after the bride got married that day, it turned out that Shao Yonglin was very irritable that night because his brother did not allow him to take the woman away, so he walked around the mountain alone for a while, but he had no place to go, and finally had to return to the farmhouse where the two stayed.
In fact, after sending the woman home, Shao Yongxing felt quite guilty, although he was not wrong, but he always felt that what he said to his brother seemed to be really a little heavy, and when he returned to the farmhouse, he found that Shao Yonglin had already returned, and he was relieved.
The second day, that Shao Yonglin slept until noon before getting up, Shao Yongxing had already bought food and cooking cakes for him to eat, and Shao Yonglin was angry in his heart, and he didn't talk to Shao Yongxing for a whole day, Shao Yongxing had no choice but to persuade each other, so after two more days, Shao Yonglin saw that the wood had become a boat, so although he was reluctant to give up on the beautiful girl, he had to give up, so the two brothers set off again and left the small village, but Shao Yonglin's dissatisfaction with Shao Yongxing began to get deeper and deeper from that time.
And Shao Yongxing didn't take this matter to heart at that time, how could he understand the sinister truth of many people's hearts at that time? In his eyes, Shao Yonglin is still the same as when he was a child, he is a younger brother with a little short temper, and after he gets angry, as long as he coaxes him to accompany him more and smiles more, it won't take a few days.
But he didn't expect that people would always grow up.
In this way, the two of them rushed for nearly half a day, and then they came to the small town, which was a bit large, and after the two of them went to the inn, they saw that it was still early, so they went separately to find out the whereabouts of the 'Bodhisattva Sect Living Immortals', and that Shao Yonglin was depressed, so after going out, he found a restaurant and wanted to go in and drink two cups to relieve his boredom.
This restaurant is the largest shop in this town, and the merchants and local rich people usually feast here, so the business is quite prosperous, Shao Yonglin walked into the restaurant and went up to the second floor, and sat down in a window position, and then beckoned the people who came to the restaurant to order food, but after the people who came to the restaurant, they said to him with a smile on their faces: "This big brother, let's invite here." ”
"How?" Shao Yonglin said to the running hall: "Someone has booked this table?" ”
The runner shook his head and said to him, no, it's just because it's time to wait for the dinner, and the second floor is used to greet VIPs, if you want to use some pasta, please go downstairs, the guy said it tactfully, but that's basically what it means, and after Shao Yonglin heard this, he suddenly became angry again, only to see him slap the table, and then kicked his eyes and shouted at the runner: "Do you think I look like I'm only here to eat noodles?" ”
Speaking of which, the guy originally saw that he was dressed plainly, so he said this to him, but after the guy saw this Shao Yonglin say this, he also felt that this master seemed to be a little difficult to provoke, so he didn't dare to say more, so he had to say while accompanying him: "What do I mean, big brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, then look at what you use?" Here's the menu upstairs. ”
It turns out that the owner of the restaurant is also a person with some conscience, because he suffered when he was a child, so he also understands the difficulties of the poor, the menu of this restaurant is two price points, the downstairs is specially used to help those who are poor, so it is very cheap, and the upstairs is for the rich people, so the price is relatively higher, because of this, this restaurant is so big in the local area, and the reputation is excellent.
And after Shao Yongxing took over the menu, he was a little stunned, because he didn't have enough money. Yes, although the two brothers have helped a lot of people when they travel around the world, the money they earn from exorcism can only support the two of them for the journey, how can they be so extravagant in normal times?
That guy knows how to observe words and feelings, and when he saw that Shao Yonglin was a little embarrassed, he already knew what was going on, speaking of which, the reason why he persuaded Shao Yonglin to go downstairs just now was actually for his sake, and at this time, seeing Shao Yonglin stunned there, the job persuaded him kindly: "You think about it, I'll go and greet the guests first." ”
After that, he left the table and only Shao Yonglin himself was left, Shao Yonglin was very ashamed at that time, and he also knew that he was embarrassed this time, how could this be good?
And at this moment, the guy came back again, only to see him say to Shao Yonglin: "This big brother, do you want to use something?" ”
Shao Yonglin couldn't stop scolding in his heart, I use a fart! But his surname was arrogant, and it was difficult to ride a tiger at that time, so he had to say to the job: "That ............"
"You can do whatever you want." The guy smiled at him and said, "Your account has been settled with someone's help, you can do anything." ”
Did someone help with the checkout? Shao Yonglin was puzzled for a while, so he looked around, to know where he had any acquaintances here, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, so he asked the job: "Who helped settle the account?" ”
The guy shook his head, and then said to him: "This little brother is not clear, brother, let's order food, our fish is good............"
Although Shao Yonglin felt that this matter was a little strange, he still ordered two dishes, and asked the worker to get a pot of spirits, and when the dishes were ready, he ate and drank.
But he was quite depressed at this meal.
After a few glasses of wine, the unhappy things of these years were turned out of his mind again, Shao Yonglin thought while drinking, thinking about how beautiful he was when he was young, where was there a shortage of money in brocade clothes and food? I don't want to end up in such a situation today, not only can't I be a big shaman, but now I have to go to the point where I can't afford to pay the bills for drinking, and I still have to look at the face of the guy who ran the hall.
After the wine came up, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he only felt as if the whole world was sorry for him, but what could he do?
At this time, a pot of wine had already been drunk, Shao Yonglin felt uncomfortable, so he asked for another pot, and after a while, he saw footsteps beside him, someone put a pot of wine on the table, and then sat opposite him.
Shao Yonglin looked at the person in front of him drunkenly, and he instantly dispersed half of the wine! It turned out that the person in front of him was none other than the Golden Witch Cultist who had captured the daughter of the king with evil law that night!
How could he be here!? After Shao Yonglin saw this person, he subconsciously got up, and then touched his back with his hand, but he grabbed it empty, his golden knife was placed in the inn before and was not brought out, Shao Yonglin was shocked, so he picked up the bench and wanted to smash it at that person.
At that time, there were a lot of people eating upstairs, and when they saw Shao Yonglin grabbing the bench, they all looked over thinking that there would be a good show, but when they saw that he was going to do it to himself, the disciple of the Golden Witch Sect laughed, and saw him say to Shao Yonglin: "Brother slow down, I have no malicious intent." ”
Speaking of this, I saw him smiling and whispering to Shao Yonglin: "Moreover, there are so many people here, if you really beat me to death, brother, you won't do any good." ”
After listening to what the man said, Shao Yonglin's face was full of anger, but he also agreed with this sentence in his mind, so he put down the bench, and then said coldly to the man: "What are you coming to me for?" ”
The man picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Shao Yonglin, and then smiled at him and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I think my brother is a character when I see each other, so I came to make friends today, brother, please sit, please sit." ”
Shao Yonglin saw that this person actually came to the door by himself, so his heart was full of doubts, but he drank some wine at the time, and he also wanted to see what this person wanted to do, so he sat down with a sneer, and said to the man: "You want to avenge that bastard?" ”
He was angry in his heart at the time, so he really wanted to vent, but the man actually laughed after hearing him say this, only to see him hold the wine glass with both hands, and then smiled at Shao Yonglin: "Hey, he was eliminated by his brother It was his own creation, and it is no wonder that his skills are not as good as others, I came this time, I really just admired my brother's character and bearing, so I set up a drink and food and wanted to make a brother, there are a lot of brothers, can you give a face?" ”
This person's words were very sincere, and Shao Yonglin didn't seem to have heard such compliments for a long time, so the anger in his heart disappeared a little, but he was not stupid, he knew that this person was from the Golden Witch Sect, and in his impression, the Golden Witch Sect did not have a good thing, so he just snorted coldly, but did not raise a glass.
The man was not angry when he saw that he didn't give himself face, but he smiled and said, "I really came sincerely this time, if my brother is afraid that I will do something in the wine, my brother is willing to have a drink first." ”
After that, he wanted to reach out and take the wine in front of Shao Yonglin, but Shao Yonglin was arrogant, and he was young and vigorous at the time, so he couldn't stand the ridicule of others, so he sneered, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"What a boldness!" The man gave Shao Yonglin a thumbs up, and then poured him full of wine, after drinking this glass of wine, the boundary between the two was blurred, that person could speak well, and every word could touch the weakness of Shao Yonglin's heart, at the beginning he was still on guard everywhere, but it didn't take long for him to relax his vigilance, and he only felt that the person in front of him was not as bad as he imagined.
Coupled with the effect of alcohol, this back and forth, the two actually chatted like this, the man told Shao Yonglin his origins, it turned out that he was from the Northeast, surnamed Huang, and famous Shengcheng, because he had committed a crime in the local area before, so he took his men to Shandong.
He said to Shao Yonglin. In fact, their Golden Witch Sect just wants to eat in this troubled world, to say that in this world, what doctrine and what goal are actually not more practical than silver, so they help others do some business, and they have long regarded the distinction of Shamanism and Golden Witch Sect as not so heavy, only their own comfort is the first thing.
Although Shao Yonglin has some contempt for this person in his heart, he also agrees with his words, it seems that they don't want to be crazy as rumored, and there are normal people who want to exist, and listening to Huang Shengcheng casually talk about his recent situation over the years, it is really prosperous, Shao Yongxing unconsciously also remembered what happened to him over the years, it is very different from this Huang Shengcheng, thinking of this, I can't help but sigh a little in my heart, indeed, you said that their shamans were good, and what they did was also to eliminate harm for the people, but how did it end up in such a field? And these people of the Golden Witch Sect are doing all bad things, why can they live so nourishingly?
Aren't we too pedantic?
Thinking of this, Shao Yonglin drank another glass of wine, and then sighed, and Huang Shengcheng saw him sigh and said to him: "Seeing that my brother seems to have something on his mind, can you say it, maybe it will be more pleasant." ”
Seeing that Huang Shengcheng seemed to be very concerned about the inquiry, Shao Yonglin then continued to drink and said the pain in his heart, saying that it was sad, he couldn't help but sigh on his face, and after the man heard what he said, he said to him: "Hey, brother is troubled because of this, in fact, there is no need, so let's talk about it today, we are also fated to intersect today, I actually made a lot of money here, let's talk about five hundred years ago, we were a family, don't separate each other, you can use these first." ”
After that, Huang Shengcheng took out a lot of silver money from his clothes, but where would Shao Yonglin ask for it? When Huang Shengcheng saw that he didn't want it, he didn't force it, so he said to this Shao Yonglin: "Brother really has some temperament, I can see what my brother needs most now." ”
That Shao Yonglin drank a lot of wine, he only felt that this Huang Shengcheng was indeed very righteous, so he disregarded his identity in his heart and had a good impression of him, so he smiled at him and said, "How do you know what I lack?" ”
I saw that Huang Shengcheng said to him: "How old am I older than you, so I have the shame to call myself an old brother, just now when my brother listened to your words, I only think that all you need now is dignity." ”
These words really only took out the depths of Shao Yonglin's heart, that's right, at that time, Shao Yonglin also felt that he was indeed lacking dignity, he felt that in his life, he didn't get anything that belonged to him and what he wanted, so he was so indignant in his heart, and now he was broken by Huang Shengcheng, so that he couldn't say a word, and that Huang Shengcheng said to him: "Brother, let's talk very speculatively today, in fact, dignity is easy to get, as long as you want to." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Shao Yonglin asked hurriedly.
Huang Shengcheng smiled slightly, then pointed to the diners next to him, and said to Shao Yonglin: "Look at them, they are also eating wine in the same store, why do they look much more dignified than those people downstairs?" ”
Shao Yongxing sighed: "Because they have money, they don't have to work for food and clothing." ”
Huang Shengcheng said with a smile: "That's right, in this world, you have to be rich to have dignity, to put it crudely, after all, you can only be an uncle if you have money, and you can only be a grandson if you don't have money, isn't it?" ”
Shao Yongxing listened to this very harshly, but he was powerless to refute, indeed, in these bumpy years, except for the time when he was on the Iron Brake Mountain, their brothers did suffer a lot of cold eyes in the rest of the days, some people will only look at your clothing and whether you are generous or not, and will not look at you at all to see whether you have the ability or not, and will not know what kind of heir you are.
Thinking of this, Shao Yonglin continued to drink and said helplessly: "Then what can be done?" ”
At that time, it was late, and the second floor of the restaurant was full of seats, and the sound was very noisy, so Huang Shengcheng looked at Shao Yonglin, and then said to him: "Of course there is a way, didn't the old brother already say it just now, in fact, brother doesn't have to be sad at all, thinking that you don't understand your own skills now, in fact, as long as you want to, these things are simply at your fingertips, but ............"
"Just what?" That Huang Shengcheng's words made Shao Yonglin's heart beat wildly, and then drunk, Shao Yonglin seemed to really see hope, so where could he still care about the credibility of Huang Shengcheng's words, at that time, he really just wanted to get rid of his current disgusting identity quickly, so he hurriedly said to Huang Shengcheng: "Say it quickly?!" ”
I saw that Huang Shengcheng smiled, and then said to Shao Yonglin: "It's just that brother, you may have to give up some worldly prejudices." ”
Shao Yonglin was already drunk at the time, and after listening to Huang Shengcheng's words, he suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, you must know that those worldly things are what he hates the most, and it is these things that made him miss the identity of the shaman heir a few years ago, and it is precisely because of these things that he has landed in such a field now, so he slapped the table and said to Huang Shengcheng: "What I hate most in my life is secular teachings, don't want these things, as long as I can get what I want, I am willing to do anything!" Hurry up, what should I do? ”
Huang Shengcheng seemed to have been waiting for his words for a long time, so he poured two glasses of wine again, and then whispered: "Since my brother is a descendant of a shaman, he must know about the 'Fox Immortal's Hometown', right?" ”
This sentence was heard in Shao Yonglin's ears, and the real words were like thunder, the hometown of the fox fairy, he knew too well, didn't his father die because of this?
And he heard Huang Shengcheng mention the matter of the fox fairy's hometown, and he also understood in his heart what he was going to do, you must know that he really didn't dare to do this only thing, so he said to Huang Shengcheng: "Brother, don't mention this matter again, that place can't be touched." ”
"Why can't you touch it?" Huang Shengcheng asked casually.
I saw Shao Yonglin sigh, and then said to Huang Shengcheng: "That place is the last dragon vein in China, if it is touched, then the current country will be over, we shamans have guarded it for generations, if this place is destroyed in my hands, what face do I have to see my dead father?" ”
This passage Shao Yonglin is indeed sincere, after all, he has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and he only feels that he should also protect the hometown of the fox fairy for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that after Shao Yonglin finished speaking, Huang Shengcheng smiled, as if he was laughing at Shao Yonglin was very pedantic, Shao Yonglin saw him laughing, and his heart was a little unhappy, so he asked him: "What are you laughing at?" ”
After Huang Shengcheng laughed a few times, he asked Shao Yonglin, "In your eyes, what is the country?" ”
"It's the imperial court." Shao Yonglin replied, "The court that our shaman has guarded for generations. ”
Huang Shengcheng nodded, and then asked Shao Yonglin, "Then who killed your father?" ”
These words were so thunderous that Shao Yonglin trembled, and he didn't hold the cup in his hand, and the cup fell to the ground, shattered, and made a snapping sound.
(To be continued)
