Chapter 12 Loyalty and Righteousness Are Hard
Ah Lu hurriedly said: "Childe, hurry up and run for your life, Master is going to harm you." ”
Zheng Fan was surprised: "I have a letter of recommendation from his lord, and he specially asked me to come to Jinzhou to join him, why do you want to harm me?
Ah Lu wiped his tears: "Master just called me to the study and asked me to poison the wine and food and poison you." I don't know the reason for this, so I'm here to tell my son. ”
In an instant, all the doubts before suddenly became a lot clearer: "It seems that the mountain god is a monster in disguise!"
There's no need for this green girl to deceive me, I'm a poor scholar, what's worth her plotting?
No wonder the master also called the monster the master, and the robbers still regarded human life as a mustard after receiving the teachings of the so-called mountain gods. It's all in the same boat!
But why didn't the monster kill me in the cave instead of waiting until this Jinzhou Mansion?"
Although he still couldn't understand why the monster had to let him come to Jinzhou Mansion to kill him again, he couldn't think much about it at the moment.
"Sister, if you let me go privately, how can that devil-like person be a master and give up with you?"
Ah Lu said: "My life is the master's, what does it matter if I die? But the son, run away quickly, now only I know about this matter, and others have no precautions against you, and only say that you are the master's honored guest." If it's a little later, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of the house. ”
Zheng Fan hurriedly packed his luggage and said to Ah Lu: "My sister's life-saving grace cannot be repaid. Come with me, this master is with demons, and if you are with him, sooner or later you will be implicated. ”
Ah Lu sighed and said: "No matter what kind of person the master is, he is as kind to me as a mountain, I can't leave him like this, even if I die, Ah Lu is not afraid!"
Zheng Fan was reluctant in his heart, and said: "Ah Lu girl, if you don't leave, you will definitely die!
When Ah Lu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Childe, why bother, Ah Lu is a lowly subordinate, and he is not worthy of Childe doing this for me." ”
Zheng Fan thought that Ah Lu had changed his mind and was willing to go with him, so he was overjoyed and said, "Good girl, let's go." ”
Who would have thought that Ah Lu took out a pair of scissors out of nowhere and stabbed it straight into his chest. Blood soaked the placket of his clothes.
"Sister!" Zheng Fan shouted, and tears welled up in an instant. Came to Ah Lu's side, hugged her, and held her hand.
"Come..."Zheng Fan was about to shout for someone to come, but Ah Lu covered his mouth.
"Childe, I don't want you to die. I'm a subordinate, it's you, it makes me feel what is respected, the feeling of being respected, it's so good...
If you are worried about affecting me, if you don't leave, and die because of me, won't Ah Lu be an unrighteous person again?
Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, and there is no choice but to die, return the master's life, and save the son, the best of both worlds. ”
Zheng Fan choked up and said, "Sister, you are confused..."
When Zheng Fan said two more words, Ah Lu's head tilted, and he was already dead.
Zheng Fan wiped his tears, reached out and took off the hairpin on Ah Lu's head and put it in his arms.
Push open the door and walk out of the house. The doorkeeper knew that Zheng Fan was the master's distinguished guest, and he didn't dare to stop it.
Zheng Fan had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, a living person died in front of him.
He hated, hated his own incompetence, if he had enough skills, how could he end up like this?
took out the hairpin from his arms, saw it, and said in his heart: "If only I had the ability of that monster, I would be able to bring Sister Ali back from the dead." ”
Thinking of this, Zheng Fan's eyebrows raised: "Yes, there are demons in this world, and there should be immortals! If I can find the immortals, won't I be able to resurrect Ah Lu's sister?"
Thinking like this, the sadness in Zheng Fan's heart dissipated a lot. began to think about the current situation: "That master won't kill me when he sees me for no reason, it must have something to do with the monster's letter of recommendation."
He's got the monster's order, and he's going to rack his brains to take my life. This Jinzhou Mansion can't stay for the time being.
Longyang County can't go back, let's leave this Jinzhou Mansion first!"
When he was captured by Wang Yuehan before, he took away one hundred taels of silver. When he was in the government, Zheng Fan forgot about it. Now penniless again.
As I was walking, I saw a pawnshop next to me beating gongs and drums, which had just opened. Zheng Fan said in his heart: "The rice is out of you." ”
Approaching, I made a gesture with the shopkeeper: "Congratulations, I look at the shopkeeper's shop with excellent feng shui, and there must be a lot of money, and customers are like clouds." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said, "Childe is really good at talking, I don't know if there is anything to pawn here?"
Zheng Fan said: "I don't want to pawn things, but to see that the shopkeeper's shop is newly opened, and there are no couplets on the left and right." I have learned a good hand since I was a child, and I am here to give a pair of couplets. ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed and said, "Okay." ”
As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper from the counter. Zheng Fan went up and swayed, and walked the dragon and snake with a pen: "The lotus leaf bears the rain and the wealth is prosperous, and the lotus root is continuous, and the store door is profitable." ”
"Good words, good words!" the shopkeeper held the couplet in admiration. Zheng Fan smiled and said nothing, which means: You should give money.
The shopkeeper had to take four coins from his body and handed it to Zheng Fan, and said with a smile: "Thank you Gongzi for giving me the word, take it to drink tea." ”
Zheng Fan's eyebrows jumped, four cents is really only enough to drink tea, and this shopkeeper is too stingy. Although it was a little less, it was better than nothing, took the money, turned around and walked out of the store.
bought two buns with two pennies, and there were two buns left, Zheng Fan sighed, and took another penny to buy a small bowl for eating.
Zheng Fan was escorted to Jinzhou Mansion by the young lady of the Wang family for a month, and he had just arrived at the master's house, and ran out before he could wash up. Ragged clothes, dark face, knotted hair, not to mention, like a beggar.
I found a place where there were many people, put the small bowl on the ground, deliberately broke a small corner, stained it with a little dust, and put the only penny left in the bowl. Sit cross-legged on the ground and bend over.
"Uncles and aunts are doing well, I haven't eaten for three days......"
Fortunately, Zheng Fan was disgraced at the moment, and he was bent over, so no one could see it. The blush of the little face.
The scholarly family, who was the eldest son of the county order a few months ago, has become a beggar at this moment, and the huge sense of gap makes Zheng Fan unable to adapt for a while.
All morning, there were five more cents in the bowl. Just enough to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles. Zheng Fan plans to save a few dozen wen and buy some paper and pencils, so that he can sell words and not beg again.
