Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Inevitable Tribulation (I)
As soon as Sun Congde led the troops out of the Lei Mansion, Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng rushed out of the dark room.
Old Man Dong laughed at Lei Hu and raised his eldest mother's finger and praised. "Brother, it was so dangerous just now, I was almost caught by the officers and soldiers. Thanks to my brother's thoughtfulness, old scumbag, you have changed, you have become much more righteous and brave than before, brother is happy for you. ”
Lei Hu also smiled bitterly at this time, "Brother, it's okay, it's okay, the danger is over." There is no shortage of catties or taels in the brother's house, so you don't have to exalt me like this, and you should do the same as a brother. ”
Although Lei Hu's words were high-sounding, he remembered what Sun Congde said. Suddenly, there was another indescribable feeling in my heart. He waved his hand and said to Old Man Dong, "Brother, you two will rest here first, and don't go there." I'll go outside the gate in the front yard and see how it goes. “
After Old Man Dong responded with a cheerful "medium", Lei Hu crossed out to the gate of the front yard.
Li Qiusheng looked at everything in front of him silently on the side, and a slight sneer immediately swelled up on the corner of his mouth.
Thunder Tiger is like a lonely goose in the desert at this time, because the drive of fame and fortune is slowly flying towards the dark swamp.
What's even more ironic is that Old Man Dong seems to be blindly admiring his good brother Lei Hu with interest until this time.
Li Qiusheng's kid is naturally different, although he can get rid of the risk in front of him. But his mind kept thinking about the advice that the thief's mother-in-law Di Jinyan gave him that night, the brother in front of Old Man Dong was an unsafe character, and on the surface he was a bright and upright character, but secretly he was a complete coward. He had to find a way to get out of this seemingly safe and mysterious place as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to count the money for others when he was sold.
Therefore, whenever Li Qiusheng saw that Old Man Dong was touting and praising Lei Hu's loyalty, courage and righteousness, the corners of his mouth always flashed with a few obvious sneers. It made Old Man Dong always wonder where the deflated boy in front of him had taken the wrong medicine, and he had always dared to drink against himself from the beginning.
Everywhere he contradicted his praise of his brother's goodness, and even used this arrogant and indifferent posture to attack the only bit of morality he could be for his friend and brother. Do you say that Li Qiusheng's kid is annoying? You don't remember the kindness of others, but you are wary of others everywhere.
Now the eating, drinking, and clothing are all people's, as the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth, and they are soft on people, but Li Qiusheng, this kid, just carried it with himself, and Old Man Dong finally sighed helplessly.
For Lei Pearl, Li Qiusheng didn't have a good impression in his heart. Although she does have a bit of grace, her sultry figure is missing the fresh and elegant charm of Dong Yanzhi's demeanor.
So even when Lei Pearl said that he didn't like himself in front of Old Man Dong, Li Qiusheng didn't like it or was annoyed, but instead ended up with a favor and let you perform to your heart's content, my brother was too lazy to bird you! You're not a stunningly good product, who knows what kind of heart you father and son are pressing.
Based on this, Li Qiusheng didn't have a good impression of Lei Hu's family at all. Although his good impression of the thief woman Di Jinyan was not much better, but in view of the fact that she had saved his life and those small contacts in the small mountain village before, Li Qiusheng would rather believe the thief woman Di Jinyan than believe Lei Hu's words.
But Li Qiusheng couldn't hold on to Master Dong's face, and he didn't say anything about the secret correspondence of the thief's mother-in-law Di Jinyan. However, facing danger today, Li Qiusheng's heart was clouded with the thought of the thief's mother-in-law Di Jinyan.
After thinking about it, the connection bit by bit made Li Qiusheng's heart more alert and keen. I'm afraid it's time to remind Old Man Dong that the opportunity has come, and we have to plan our next step.
When Master Dong was still talking about Lei Hu's brotherhood, Li Qiusheng interjected.
He said sarcastically, "Old man Dong, you should be happy for your brotherhood, I am sleepy, go back to my room and sleep." If you like to brag about your brother behind this church, then you can do it. Let's break up, and the two have nothing to do with each other. ”
Old Man Dong rolled his eyes and shouted, "Boy, don't be reckless, if you didn't have my brother's cover just now, I'm afraid you would have squatted in the prison of Peach Blossom Town at this time." And your frivolous and arrogant appearance is presumptuous here? You, you really don't know the hearts of good people, and the dog bites Lu Dongbin. ”
"Well, Old Man Dong, don't get carried away early in the morning, if I say it later, I see your old face swinging there, do you dare to act in front of the master? I'll pay less attention to you, let's go back to sleep. Li Qiusheng argued again, somewhat dissatisfied and unaccustomed to Old Man Dong's pretentiousness.
"Oh, you two don't hurt and collide with each other like this, I don't know if my dad is good or bad? Li Gongzi, there is no need for you to talk about him like this in front of my father and attack him. Besides, my father hasn't done anything to be sorry for you now, although the officers and soldiers came to besiege the Lei Mansion, didn't my father betray your grandfather and grandson? In a hurry, I tried to protect you. May I ask Mr. Li, why do you think that my father is not a good person? Could it be that Li Gongzi and my father have a grudge and hatred? ”
Lei Pearl yelled at Li Qiusheng angrily at this time, as if he hated a guy like Li Qiusheng who didn't know the hearts of good people. If you endure it any longer, the depressed anger will force you to explode.
Li Qiusheng was scolded by Lei Pearl, he was shocked, shrugged his shoulders, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said embarrassedly.
"Miss Lei, don't speak ill of each other, you are the goods along the way, I Li Qiusheng can see a little bit of eyebrows. Although your father and daughter are good at pretending, they can still distinguish the truth in front of the master. Just your pretending coquettish appearance, master, I've seen a lot, and when I meet people, I offer my eyebrows to please either treacherous or harbor evil intentions. Miss Lei, is there anything wrong with what I said? ”
Old Man Dong saw that Li Qiusheng was actually consuming with Lei Pearl again, not to mention how much he hated it. Before Li Qiusheng's words landed, Old Man Dong shouted in his throat.
"Boy, you're here to show off your set in the blue and white embroidery building again. Don't you say that people still know your details? You're just afraid that everyone in the world will know that your kid was mixed up in the Qinglou. When the time comes, people won't look at you properly. ”
was yelled at by this sudden, and Li Qiusheng's heart suddenly became furious again. I could only hear him muttering loudly, "Old man, what's wrong with me being born from the Qinglou?" Could it be that this will lose your face as an old man Dong. If that's the case, I'd better advise the old man to go back to the old bustard's mother now. I'm going to run away alone, and I don't need your old man to accompany me on this hard trip. ”
"You kid is really getting more and more excessive, and you're angry with the old man. If it weren't for your sake, I would have fallen out with you today for the sake of sacrificing your life to save my good granddaughter Dong Yanzhi. Hey, you kid just can't hold it, and you don't know who you are when you hold it. Old Man Dong was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and shouted, then flicked the teacup and pulled the thunder pearl on the side and walked to the backyard, without looking back at Li Qiusheng, the kid.
Lei Pearl was also so angry that he spit out a few 'bah, bah, bah' anger at Li Qiusheng again and again before he followed Old Man Dong away hatefully.
The back hall was deserted, and Li Qiusheng sneered contemptuously when he saw this scene. "Ha, ha, it's all gone, be clean, go back to your room and sleep."
In the backyard of the Lei Mansion, Old Man Dong was still scolding and scolding Li Qiusheng in front of Lei Pearl, and his angry face did not become dull and dissipated because Li Qiusheng was not at the scene. While he was still angry about Lei Hu's brotherhood in his heart, he turned back to Lei Pearl and apologized a few times before he said slowly.
"Good niece, don't sulk for this kid. This kid is this bull temper, and the thing he believes in is that even twelve bulls don't want to pull him back, unless he himself understands and repents before he will give in to you. But don't take it to heart, with my old man in this kid, he can't make any waves. But I have to bother my niece not to let your father know about the dispute with this kid just now, otherwise my brother's face will be put there, I'm afraid that your father will feel ashamed of me because of the grievances in his heart, and I don't know what kind of chaos will come when the time comes. Good niece, you don't want your father to have any accidents with the huge Lei Mansion. ”
Lei Pearl seemed to be quite understanding and said, "Of course, Uncle Dong, I know that you and my father are the best brothers." Okay, let's stop talking about this kid, let's have a glass of happy wine. ”
"Hmm," Mr. Dong replied quickly as if he had come to the wine for a while.
In the wilderness, the night engulfed everything, and the cold wind howled from the boundless darkness.
Outside the barracks, a gloomy and smug voice came from the darkness. "Master Lei, you're finally here. I thought you couldn't figure it out. Since you're here, that's fine, and I won't talk to you about it. I'll just say a word, when are you going to do it? I will send someone to help you. Sun Congde stood outside his camp gate and said with a smile to the oncoming Lei Hu, as if he had a longing for receiving a meritorious reward.
Lei Hu smiled slyly and said faintly. General Sun laughed, Lei also found a little scrap from the general's teeth, and he had General Sun's eight-sided majesty. In the future, General Sun will have to take more care of his younger brother. ”
Sun Congde sneered from his heart, looked at Lei Hu contemptuously and said. "Master Lei, as long as you catch that Li Qiusheng, you can do whatever you want, maybe we will still be ministers in the same dynasty in the future."
A dark smile flashed across Lei Hu's face, and he said casually, "Brother Sun has to take care of it, and the younger brother is obedient to his fate." ”
Suddenly, a gust of night wind swept by, slowly drowning out the voices of Sun Congde and Lei Hu. The cold suddenly rose from all directions, enveloping the sky over Peach Blossom Town.
The sky bent under the cold moon, and a dark cloud slowly drifted by, covering the last glimmer of light. An untold dirty deal, seemingly untouched, lost its original light under the cover of night.
The faces of the two of them couldn't help but show a smug and ecstatic hideous smile, slowly hiding in the darkness of all reincarnation.
