"The old people see each other rarely, and a glass of wine comes to greet each other. Why not be afraid of swords, drunk and sprinkled immortals. ”

This sentence suddenly appeared in Old Man Dong's heart, and he remembered that there was such a lively scene to greet him, and he met the little scumbag Lei Hu in Peach Blossom Town. The lively and grand scene of this Lei Mansion entertaining him at that time was still fresh in his mind until this time, so that he still had a little taste of memories from time to time. But when he thought of Li Qiusheng's heart-wrenching matter, the depressed depression in his chest extinguished this long-lost fantasy in his heart.

When Master Dong sat under the plum tree in the courtyard and thought about it, the girl had already brought a cup of hot tea. Old Man Dong took the tea and thanked him. I took a bite and praised it again and again. "Girl, the tea here is really fragrant, mellow and fragrant! Wonderful! It's really a first-class masterpiece in the world. The girl smiled lightly and said lightly. Uncle, don't boast. It's all my mother's handiwork, and it's none of my business. ”

As soon as the girl's voice fell, Old Man Dong asked with a sip of tea. "Oh, by the way, girl, we haven't asked for your name yet? The old man doesn't even know what to call you. Oh, who is your mother? What are you busy with? The girl seemed to be very alert, and suddenly stared at Old Man Dong for a while, and stopped talking. In the end, he didn't say anything more, and walked back to the hall with an empty teapot.

Old Man Dong touched his nose, and suddenly felt inexplicably snubbed, but he was embarrassed to make noise again. I had to tidy up the simple bags beside me, and wait for the girl to come out again to arrange a place for herself. For a while, it's boring. Old Man Dong looked around, but the sunset and dusk at this time were extremely beautiful. The slanting sun is grassy, the tired birds are clinging, the flowing water is murmuring, and the evening breeze is twilight.

At this time, a woman who was over half a hundred years old walked from the hall and walked straight towards Old Man Dong.

Old Man Dong hurriedly got up and greeted him, "Eldest sister, younger brother happened to pass by here. It was getting late, and it was difficult to hurry, so I had to ask for a shameful borrowed straw house for a night, which was disturbing and magnanimous. ”

The woman immediately returned the salute and said, "Brother, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, there is always a difficulty in asking for help when you go out." It's just that the woman's house is simple and cold, so it's good that the old brother doesn't dislike it. ”

"Hey, big sister, don't worry. But it's good to be able to stay, little brother, I'm not a hobby. ”

"That's good, then my brother will follow me into the house."

"Well, thank you for taking it in, it's convenient."

The evening has passed, and the sky will be dark. It was inconvenient for Mr. Dong to stay in the hall for a long time, so he found an excuse and returned to the side room outside, cleaned up and prepared to sleep. Outside the door there was a sudden noise of noise and footsteps, followed by a messy roar, and then only the screams and fears of the old woman and the maiden. Old man Dong was shocked, what's the matter, it's fine when eating, what kind of mess has happened in just a blink of an eye? Most likely it will not be for themselves.

Thinking about it like this, Old Man Dong leaned against the window lattice and listened carefully.

I only heard a man roaring in a rough voice, "Old Turtle Woman, have you all the things that our brother asked you to prepare the day before yesterday?" If you don't hand it over, our brother will have to pay off your daughter's debt. Don't say that our brother won't give you face. The old woman immediately replied in a terrified voice, "Sir, are you asking for the old woman's life?" Look at our poor family, what do you give you so much silver? You might as well burn down my grass house with a fire, and give our mother and son a knife with hatred, and everything will be freed after a hundred times. ”

"It's not that easy to die. If you die, won't your daughter be even more miserable and miserable? The other man said viciously with a half-open face, and then stepped forward and forcibly dragged the girl, and his hideous face looked even more terrifying under the cover of night.

"Brother, don't interrupt. I also have to ask her, has there been any strange men passing by here in the past two days? The man at the head said as he turned away from his accomplice, and from time to time looked at the old woman who was trembling on her knees.

The man behind flew up again and kicked straight at the old woman. The old woman screamed again, and looked at these wicked people angrily, but she couldn't speak.

Old Man Dong endured this moment, and when he heard all the evils to ask, wasn't it what he and Li Qiusheng looked like? The anger in his heart suddenly burned violently again. He clenched the fist in his hand, gritted his teeth, and rushed out directly, flying up and kicking the wicked man in the head. The wicked man was so caught off guard that he screamed "ouch", and he fell to the ground and couldn't move. The remaining three wicked people were suddenly attacked by this, and they were also stunned for a moment, and stood in the middle of it.

When they came to their senses again, Old Man Dong dodged in and bullied again, beating the remaining three wicked people again and again. In an instant, the four wicked people didn't even have a chance to resist and wake up, so they were cleaned up by the old man Dong who was killed in the middle of the road, and screamed for a while.

At this time, the old woman and the girl lying on the ground were also stunned by Old Man Dong's pretentiousness. Because from the beginning of knocking on the door to staying overnight to going to bed at night, the mother and son did not show any bitterness and difficulties to Old Man Dong. I never thought that Old Man Dong was still a neat person, and he solved the worries and troubles in the hearts of their mother and daughter at once.

Old Man Dong walked over, picked up the old woman on the ground and asked. "Sister, who are these people? They don't look like robbers, but they're your enemies. The old woman replied with difficulty, "Brother, they are neither bandits nor thieves. They were the officials who came with the yamen to collect grain and grass the day before yesterday, and they took the opportunity to rob our civilians of the silver and money. Old Man Dong seemed to be as surprised as if he heard the sound of heaven, "Ah, there is such a thing?" With that, he dragged the torches and lit up the four wicked men on the ground, and tore off their black night clothes, revealing the clothes of the servants inside.

Sure enough, this official pretending to be a strong thief and doing evil robbery actually happened in this dark and remote place, and it was those orphans and widows who won the weak. The anger in Old Man Dong's body immediately burned again, and he kicked a few more times and fell to the ground screaming on the ground. In an instant, the mournful howl resounded through the night sky.

When the old woman saw this, she hurried up to stop her. "Brother, you can't beat them like this, today you are angry for our mother and son. But Ming'er, as soon as you leave, it's not our mother and son who are suffering. Dude, please. You know, let the four of them go. At this time, the old man Dong was angry, and when he heard the old woman say this, he was even more angry. was about to step forward and slap the four of them again, but after thinking about it, what the eldest sister said was not unreasonable. stopped his hands and feet immediately, and the four officials lying on the ground were even more frightened, and begged for mercy from Old Man Dong for a while.

"Hero, you can spare us. We don't dare to do evil with such fake taxes anymore. The official at the head of the group wept and said, as if he were in great pain. Old Man Dong took the opportunity to say, "It's easy to spare you, but you also have to rely on me." It is to write down yourselves as thieves and robbers everywhere as they are, and then put your own hand on the grease of your own hand. I will spare you and let you go back. Otherwise, I will denounce to Chaoyan your bad habit of collecting money and stealing food."

"Hey, old man, you're holding people to the next level, not to be relieving. And once you are in your territory, you can take this charge and go around suing me. Aren't we giving people handles, men being swords, and I being fishermen? You think it's beautiful, but our brothers can't be fooled by you. The chief official said worriedly, and it could be seen that he seemed to have some slight remorse.

"Don't write it, do you? Then you just wait to eat my old Dong's power. After speaking, he kicked out another leg, and in the middle was the calf of the chief official. Hearing a snap, the official howled like a wolf and a ghost. The remaining three officials hurriedly said, "Don't kick, let's just write as you say, okay?" Old Man Dong smiled contemptuously and shouted, "You should have written like this a long time ago, wouldn't you suffer less of this painful sin." ”

As soon as he shouted, the official headed by him wrote down his sins of doing evil, and at the end he drew and signed, and bit his finger and pressed a red handprint. Seeing this, the three of them hurried over and did the same, and then helped the leader of the group and limped into the black night.

The chai door was closed again, and the old man Dong escorted the two back to the hall. As soon as she entered the hall, the old woman knelt down to Old Man Dong and said. "Brother, thank you for saving your life. Although the old woman Zhang is clumsy, she can also see that the old brother is a warm-hearted and good person. If you don't dislike it, just accept the old woman, Lan'er, as a goddaughter, and recognize it. If she has something to rely on, the old woman can rest assured. After speaking, where did he stand again, quietly waiting for Old Man Dong's answer. When the girl heard her mother say this, she didn't say much, so she knelt in front of Old Man Dong for a while.

Old Man Dong was shocked, of course, he didn't expect that there would be such a scene in front of him. He calmed down and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old woman, "Sister Zhang, you are serious." You see if we can talk about this recognition later, I can't help the old brother in front of me. I'm afraid that if we admit this kiss, it will affect your mother and daughter, and my brother really can't bear it. As he spoke, he turned around and picked up the kneeling girl on the ground and said, "Lan'er, please get up quickly, this is unacceptable, unacceptable." ”

When Zhang heard this, he was very sad at the moment. "I think my orphan and widow were born here, and it is rare to meet a benefactor. It is also a blessing for my son to be able to climb up to my brother's kindness, brother, you don't have to shirk it. Old Man Dong was extremely embarrassed at this time, and suddenly sighed after hesitating, "Okay, Sister Zhang, don't be sad, brother, I just recognize this kiss." ”

After speaking, just as he wanted to turn over the Zhang family peacefully, Na Lan'er had already knelt in front of Old Man Dong and made a big bow of nine bows, and hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Old Man Dong, and this matter of recognizing relatives finally fell to the dust.
