Although the old man Dong was unwilling, he was afraid of causing trouble to Zhang's mother and daughter, but he could only acquiesce calmly. In this way, the topic of the three of them increased.

Zhang stared at Old Man Dong and suddenly asked, "Brother, just now you said that you have unspeakable secrets and unavoidable hardships, now that we are all a family, can you tell the truth, and you can share some of the burden for your brother." ”

Old Man Dong suddenly stopped the teacup in his hand and said after hesitating for a moment. "Sister Zhang, I'm not a younger brother and I won't tell you, I'm afraid that this matter will really make you worry." After that, he told all the things about Dong Yanzhi and Li Qiusheng in 1510. The mother and daughter of the Zhang family were dumbfounded, and they were stunned and confused on the spot for a while.

As soon as Old Man Dong said this worrying thing, Zhang's mother and daughter stayed in horror.

The three of them suddenly became subtle and silent, and when Old Man Dong saw the change in the atmosphere this time, he immediately understood the reason.

He smiled and said, "Sister Zhang, don't worry about your mother and son, don't panic." If you have any concerns about this confession, it is still too late to regret it now. As long as your mother and son squeak, my old man Dong will understand. We will never make it difficult for others to do this, nor can we pour the blame on others. With that, he picked up the tea on the table and sipped it lightly, just waiting for Zhang's mother and daughter to answer.

The hall was surprisingly quiet for a while before Zhang spoke. "Brother Dong, you also underestimate our mother and daughter. Isn't it a little thing that we poor people have offended those rich and noble, there is no need to make such a fuss, I know the suffering of our poor people. Don't say anything, no one can control what our mother and daughter decide. Lan'er's father also said before his death, 'I'd rather be a gentleman's friend than profit from villains', how can I, Zhang, go back on my word. ”

After speaking, I heard Na Lan'er add on the side, "Mother, you said it's great, Lan'er also means this." She paused slightly, then continued. Godfather, don't worry, Lan'er will go to those country roads tomorrow to find out the news of Qiusheng's brother, so as to avoid the pain of fatigue and avoid the suspicion of being tired and avoiding people. ”

"Hmm" Old Man Dong replied lightly, his eyes blurred with tears. "Sister Zhang, this matter has made your mother and son worry a lot. Brother, not only can I not help you, but I will trap you in injustice, which is very uncomfortable. After speaking, Old Man Dong shook his head again and stopped directly in the middle.

As soon as Zhang heard the sound of Old Man Dong's words, he immediately exclaimed, "Ah, brother." I almost forgot to ask you about it. Just now you said that you also carried a gun and fought under that camp, and Lan'er and his father also explained before he went that if he met the life and death brothers you worshipped back then, you must take care of each other no matter what, and you must not slack off. Now there is a token placed at home, and I invite my brother to take a look, but it is the thing that your brothers married back then. ”

Zhang waved his hand, and Lan'er on the side immediately turned around and entered the back room, looked for the token, and put it in front of Old Man Dong. "Godfather, do you think this is like your righteous thing?" Old Man Dong immediately took a closer look, and his eyes were surprisingly wide. He shouted, "Isn't this the token of our ninth brother?" How did it fall into your hands? What about my ninth brother? Others are there. Are you the wives and children of the ninth brother? ”

Seeing that Old Man Dong had changed his mood for a while, Zhang seemed to have guessed the reason in his heart. "Brother Dong, it seems that our recognition of relatives can't escape the fate of God. I said why are your eyelids always jumping around these days, it turns out that your brother has been watching over us, and today we finally let us meet. After speaking, she immediately motioned for Lan'er to kneel in front of Old Man Dong and said, "Lan'er, Brother Dong is not only your godfather now, but also your eldest uncle." This happy thing has come to our mother's encounter, quickly kowtow to your uncle, say hello, and your father will miss it all his life. ”

Old Man Dong stopped him with his hand, "Sister Zhang, don't do this." It is a great fortune to meet the widow and descendants of the ninth brother today, but it is a pity that my old man Dong is now in trouble and has no time to take care of him, I am really ashamed to be ashamed! ”

Seeing that Old Man Dong was compassionate again, Zhang hurriedly interjected. "Brother Dong, don't see outside. If you hadn't come to my rescue tonight, my orphans and widows would not have been dead. Now that you have not only punished the traitors, but you have also taken the handle of their wickedness in your hands, and they will not dare to be arrogant in the future. Isn't it all your brother's work? Lan'er, her father, if she knows under the spring, is also relieved. ”

Seeing that the two elders were still talking, Lan'er on the side suddenly urged, "Mother, this night is also dark, Uncle Dong must be tired from traveling a lot during the day, you see if we don't talk about these things first." Let Uncle Dong rest and rest first, lest Uncle Dong don't know how to work for Brother Qiusheng tomorrow. ”

After hearing this, Zhang smiled, pointed at Lan'er and said to Old Man Dong. "Brother Dong, you see that my family's Lan'er also understands how to ask hot and cold at this time. Sister, I've lived with her for so long, and I don't see her take care of me so closely. ”

Old Man Dong immediately replied triumphantly, "Ha, ha, this is all the credit of Sister Zhang's training." If it weren't for you, this baby would be so smart and clever and able to speak. Okay, it's late, let's sleep peacefully. After speaking, Old Man Dong stood up and thanked him, and slowly walked towards the grass house outside the house with a yawn.

After a night without words, Old Man Dong woke up with the red sun rising in the east, and the sun was bright.

Lan'er was already waiting outside the door, and as soon as she heard the noise in the room, she shouted inside, "Uncle Dong, open the door quickly, Lan'er has made breakfast for you." Zhang's was scrubbing everything in the small courtyard, and saw Lan'er banging on the door so eagerly and shouting. immediately smiled, "Silly girl, I heard you say yesterday that you should let Uncle Dong go to bed early, thinking that something was wrong with you." I don't want you to be so unbearable to come and disturb Brother Dong today, you, it seems that you are overjoyed, what about Feng Qin? If you can't go down yet, let Brother Dong sleep a little longer, and when you have enough energy, you can find Brother Qiusheng. ”

The mother and son were talking to each other, and Old Man Dong opened the room and came out at this time. Lan'er turned around and greeted her directly, "Uncle Dong, just now my mother was still blaming me for disturbing you, but now you have come out by yourself, and you can't complain about others." Old Man Dong smiled and said, "Lan'er, don't listen to your mother." Uncle Dong is so snooze. If so, wouldn't it be a big lazy pig that everyone hates. That's not possible, your brother Qiusheng is still waiting for me to find it. ”

"Of course, Lan'er knows that Uncle Dong is not that kind of person, so she has prepared it for you a long time ago. Just wait for you to freshen up and eat breakfast, let's go to Brother Qiusheng together. Lan'er stood in the middle and said coquettishly, and then secretly glanced at the mother in the courtyard, and made a sly grimace, as if to say, "Mother, you said it wrong again, right?" How could Uncle Dong be so sleepy. ”

Zhang put the things in his hand into the basin, and picked up the water droplets in the basin and splashed them directly on the edge of Lan'er. Lan'er turned around and flashed, then smiled, "Mother, why are you playing around with me like this now?" Aren't you afraid that Uncle Dong will see the joke? I see, it must be a ghost in my mother's heart. When Zhang heard this, he picked up a plum branch on the ground and immediately threw it up, chasing Lan'er and scolding with a smile. You dead hooves, chewing your tongue, ruining your reputation, see that I don't clean you up. ”

Lan'er was jubilant for a moment, and immediately debauched her silver bell-like laughter. Under the sun, with the plum branches and the smile, it formed a sweet picture. Old Man Dong stood in front of the door, looking at everything in front of him fixedly, and his heart seemed to evoke his memories and thoughts of Dong Yanzhi again. He suddenly stopped in the middle of it, looked up at the empty morning sun for a while, and walked out of the courtyard.

It is more than 30 miles away from the ancient town of Longscale, on a high hill in the northwest direction. Li Qiusheng lay down like this until dawn, and he looked around, the barren desert and the mountains were continuous. Suddenly, there was a feeling of being at a loss, and confusion slowly spread in the bottom of my heart. He chose a mountain stream path that stretched to the north, and got up and rushed down.

Walking alone on the mountain stream path was somewhat boring, Li Qiusheng looked around for a while, and suddenly had a whim, and the drama of the past in his mind came to the bottom of his heart again. He opened his throat and said, "That brother in the play, the little sister thought to herself." He has become a hero in the day, brother, I will marry you。。。。。。 ”

As soon as Li Qiusheng roared in his throat, trouble came. After he had walked for a while, a group of men and horses suddenly stood up in front of him and blocked the path. Li Qiusheng looked closely, Mom, I saw the general who led the team last night sitting on horseback, looking up at him with a colorful look. It seems that Li Qiusheng's kid has long been the meat bun he expected, and he is just waiting for his hound to clean it up sooner or later.

As soon as Li Qiusheng wanted to turn around and dodge, the general's shout came from in front of him. "Boy, do you still want to run away? Save it. Don't bother, grandpa is waiting for you here and your heart is numb, can you still escape? After that, without waiting for Li Qiusheng to say a word of resistance, with a wave of his hand, he signaled the soldiers on both sides to surround him.

With a 'snap', when the soldiers in front surrounded him, five or six soldiers holding steel blades jumped out from both sides of the retreat route that fled back, blocking Li Qiusheng's retreat. Li Qiusheng suddenly hated it, how could he have encountered such a thing since he fled, and now this situation doesn't make him have no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the ground, and he will be captured? But this kid of him can be so honest, waiting for him not to come and kill him.

Li Qiusheng looked left and right, and was so anxious that he hurriedly went into the woods on the left. After only a few steps, he stopped again, and two or three more thieves jumped out in front of him, smiling and walking towards him.
