Chapter 58: The Secret of Zhang Mung Bean
Although Zhang Mung Bean had scruples in his heart, he still couldn't resist being hungry. She glanced at the farmer's small yard surrounded by mud.
"Excuse me, anyone?" shouted Zhang Mung Bean with his hands to his mouth.
Soon, a voice came from the room, "Yes!"
The door opened, and there was a young woman who looked a little dark, but still delicate. She first looked at the two men standing in the courtyard with some confusion, and then looked at the three men who came in later. She asked timidly. "Is there something wrong with you?"
Zhang Mung Bean knew that this girl was frightened by the four men, she went up, smiled sweetly, and her mouth was very well-behaved, "This sister, we have come far here, and we are a little hungry, so I want to ask if I can ......"
When the girl saw Zhang Mung Dou's well-behaved and sweet mouth, her heart softened, but she looked at the four men and was a little afraid, "Are you hungry...... Come in. ”
"Good. Thank you, sister. Zhang Mung Bean turned around, and looked at Li Yinkong with radiant eyes.
The three who came from behind naturally followed in.
The house where this girl lives is not big, and you can see the furnishings here at a few glances when you stand at the door, but although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs in it.
Then there was a big black-skinned man with horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes sitting in this room, and the swarthy thick arm was leisurely placed on the table, and when he saw the little girl opposite looking at him, his hands suddenly clenched into fists. One look, look at it again, I'm going to beat you up.
Zhang Mung Bean immediately looked away.
The girl was also careful, she bumped the man's arm and reprimanded in a low voice, "Brother, don't look fierce anymore...... I'm sorry, little girl, but my brother is just a little fierce. ”
"Hmm...... Good. Although she said this, her footsteps were still moving in the direction of Li Yinkong.
"Small family. You do whatever you want. With that, the girl smiled softly and pushed her brother again, "Come out and help me make a fire." ”
Her brother pouted, reluctantly stood up, listened to his sister's words and went over to help.
The girl was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly prepared a table of meals. Seeing that the three men had always kept a distance from the little girl, they were even a little at a loss, "Little girl, go and ask your three companions to come over and eat together." ”
Then, the girl quietly glanced at the handsome man in blue who was quite noble and extraordinary, and the tips of her ears climbed a little red.
Seeing that Zhang Mung Bean came to shout in person, the three of them naturally walked over very happily.
Sitting on the stool, Zhou Shiyu's always serious face was also dyed with some polite smiles, "Thank you, girl, for the meal you prepared for us." ”
The girl smiled shyly, raised her hand to touch her slender neck, "Coarse tea and light rice, please don't dislike it." ”
Luo Qian was very polite, directly grabbed a cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "How can it, sister, what you made is so delicious." ”
Seeing this handsome young man praising her, he smiled a little embarrassedly.
Zhang Mung Bean, who was hungry with his chest against his back, also followed closely behind Luo Qian, and hurriedly ate it. She took a flatbread and nibbled on it, and then she felt that the taste was very familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had eaten it.
Zhang mung bean rice was eating deliciously, but the sound of slamming the door behind her scared her shoulders.
When the girl heard the slamming door, she leaned over to her brother in fear. The man frowned, patted his sister on the shoulder and told him not to be afraid. Then he walked straight over and opened the door, and when he saw the few sharp-beaked monkey cheeks outside, he scolded directly, "What are you doing again?!"
"Shout you to pay back the silver taels!" the man with a thief's eyebrows made a gesture to push the door and walk in, but was blocked by the man's body.
"That's what my gambling dad owes! It has nothing to do with our brother and sister! If you want a debt, go down there and ask him for it!"
The thief-eyed man smiled obscenely, and glanced inside again, "We can discuss it, or if we don't pay it back...... Don't you have a pretty girl...... Why don't you just give it to me, you're my brother-in-law. ”
The people sitting inside stopped talking outside, and they also understood in their hearts. Zhang Mung Bean glanced at the cake in his hand, as well as the girl with a worried face, patted her on the shoulder, and walked out.
Pushing the man away, Zhang Mung Bean frowned and looked at the man with thief eyebrows, "You want silver, right?"
"You're ...... again"
"It doesn't matter who I am. Zhang Mung Bean took out a large bag of heavy silver taels from his ginger bag, took out a gold ingot from it, and held it in his hand.
When the man saw her pull out the big bag of silver taels, the eyes began to glow green. Later, when the little girl took out another ingot of gold, her eyes flashed with gold, and the word greed overflowed directly.
The man who saw gold for the first time was surprised in his eyes, he knew that these people were from extraordinary backgrounds, but he didn't expect to be so generous, "This, little girl, this is our family affair...... You don't have to. ”
"You've helped me solve my 'urgent need', and it's time for me to help you. Zhang Mung Bean is also greedy for money, but she can carry it clearly, this favor can help, and people are also hospitable, she should return the courtesy. And this silver tael didn't belong to her in the first place, so she didn't feel distressed at all when she used it.
"But a coarse tea and light meal compare to this...... It's too far off. ”
Zhang Mung Bean smiled at him, and put the ingot of gold in his hand in the palm of the obscene looking man, "This, I think it's more than enough." Let's go. ”
The man took the ingot of gold with both hands, the corners of his mouth were about to crack to the root of his ears, and he thanked Zhang Mung Bean again and again. He kept assuring himself that he would never bother them again. He took the gold and went away happily.
He walked a long way, and suddenly stopped, looked thoughtfully at the gold in his hand, and a large bag of silver taels appeared in the girl's hand......
It's all gold......
If it's all his.
Thinking like this, the corners of his mouth curled into a wicked angle.
Zhang Mung Bean, who had solved the matter, returned to the table with some smugness and continued to nibble on her favorite cake.
That girl didn't want to be as light as Zhang Mung Bean, she got up and was about to kneel in front of Zhang Mung Bean, and the brother who came in also had to kneel.
Startled, Zhang Mung Bean took the cake in his mouth to help. Seeing that she seemed to want to speak, Li Yinkong reluctantly helped her take the cake from her mouth, "No need to do this." If you really want to be grateful, make more of this pie. It's delicious, but what kind of cake is this? ”
The girl who was helped up wiped the corners of her eyes, "It's magnolia cake." ”
Zhang Mung Bean, who still had a big mouthful in his mouth, suddenly stopped chewing, his expression gradually changed from sluggish to shocked, and he swallowed this mouthful with great difficulty, "I'm done......"
The girl looked worried, "What's wrong?"
"I ...... It's okay. Zhang Mungdou subconsciously glanced at Li Yinkong worriedly, no wonder she felt the taste of this cake familiar just now.
"This young lady can rest assured, the magnolia flower will be fine if you eat it. Our place is called Magnolia Town. I heard that it seems that a flower given to his lover by a certain general has taken root here. ”
Hearing her statement, Li Yinkong, who had been quiet and silent, had a slight paleness.
"Magnolia Town......" Zhang Mung Bean wanted to cry without tears, and muttered: "Isn't there a lot of magnolia flowers in there......"
The girl couldn't quite understand that Zhang Mung Bean was like this, so she didn't like it...... "Then, the slave family will make other pies for the young lady." Rest assured, it's delicious, too. ”
"Thank you then. Zhang Mung Bean sat down in amazement, feeling that the food in front of him didn't taste so good.
Li Yinkong put the cake in his hand on the table, "When have you been so generous?"
"It was given by Li Xinghe. We still have a lot of silver. With that, she went back to carry her bag.
After they finished eating, except for Zhang Mung Bean, who looked different, they all became energetic. After Zhou Shiyu finished eating, he asked Luo Qian, who was in charge of the silver taels, to put a tablet on the table, which was regarded as a thank you.
When they walked near the carriage, Li Yinkong frowned, and his eyes looked at a certain place. The group of rats hiding behind the rocks were frightened into a cold sweat. But Li Yinkong didn't bother to take care of it.
When leaving, Zhang Mungdou also asked the girl for a cloth, and wrapped the knife that she didn't know the name of, before wrapping it, she also asked cautiously, "Senior, do you think it's okay to use this cloth?"
"The old lady doesn't pick. ”
"That's good!" There was suddenly another knife on his back, and the weight went up directly, and Zhang Mung Bean twisted his shoulders uncomfortably. He took off his bag and gave it to Li Yinkong.
"Take it away. ”
"Tsk, this bag is for you to feel fierce and evil, polished. Zhang Mungdou picked up the rope and put it on his shoulder.
Li Yinkong just looked at her quietly.
The silent threat only worked for her in the beginning. Now that their relationship has changed from 'cold' to 'hot', she is no longer afraid, probably, "You know, why did that sister just blush with that Zhou Shiyu? ”
"I don't want to know. ”
Zhang Mung Bean forcibly let him know, "It's because you're too fierce." This doesn't make the girl like. You're so old, why can't you understand it? ”
"Say it again. ”
"Why are you still so fierce...... I carry two knives, and I'm very delicate. I'm definitely not going to give you a ride. She was mainly afraid of being scolded, "Then you can take Shen Po." ”
Li Yinkong was stunned for a moment, and quietly carried the ginger bag on his back.
Zhang Mung Bean smiled proudly, leaned back on the car board, and before she was smug for a moment, her heart tightened, "Well......"
"What's wrong with you?"
"I ...... I, it's terrible to explain, you'll find out in a moment. Zhang Mung Bean's face began to turn pale, and fine sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Li Yinkong nodded, and then continued to drive the horse, "It's almost time to reach the town ahead." Can your body hold it?"
"They have to be shaken off...... Otherwise, it's not convenient to do anything. ”
"Hmm. ”
The road leading to the town is really lined with dense magnolia trees, and Zhang Mung Bean's reaction is even greater, "Get rid of them, we have to get out of here quickly." ”
Li Yinkong glanced at the magnolia trees around him and began to fall silent.
Finally arrived in the town, Li Yinkong hugged Zhang Mung Bean. Those three heels also want to stick up. Li Yinkong moved the bag he was carrying back a little, and ran forward without looking back, holding Zhang Mung Doutou, who was not very comfortable.
The three of them were stunned for a moment before they realized what was going on. Hurry up and chase it.
"Mung Bean!"
"Miss Mung Bean, don't run away, follow us home!"
That Du Huangyan's reaction was not too big, looking at the two people who were in a hurry next to him, he turned around and walked like the other side. After walking a long way, he turned to look at the street where the people were bustling, and made sure they hadn't followed. Only then did he take out a soul needle from his dusty cloak.
This is the last time she took a mung bean in Lugu Town, and she didn't return a trace of her soul. This trace of soul was exuding a strange light, and after Du Huangyan saw it, his face showed surprise.
It was fine before, why did it suddenly become like this?
After worrying for a while, he quickly ran over to the direction that the Soul Needle was already pointing.
Zhang Mung Dou, who was tightly held in Li Yinkong's arms, had half-closed eyes, except for looking at the screams on the street as they ran by, and the shadow of the magnolia tree that filled his eyes with shaking.
Zhang Mungdou, who was still a little conscious, thought in his heart, why is there such a terrifying flower as magnolia in this world......
Li Yinkong looked at the person in his arms who felt that it was about to pass, he nervously looked at his fingertips, and there was no change yet, "Hey, are you okay." ”
"Probably......" Anyway, she felt that the world was spinning at the moment.
Feeling that he was almost away, Li Yinkong's speed gradually slowed down, and he put the person in his arms on a stone under a magnolia tree, which had originally slid down his neck and fell on his thigh.
Li Yinkong looked at her hand in surprise, this hand ...... Although it is still quite small compared to herself, it seems to have changed slightly compared to her original hand, more like one, one, a man's hand?
The thought that suddenly popped up frightened Li Yinkong to quickly look at her face. Although her cheeks began to glow with a strange red, she could still tell that she was a girl.
Maybe it's his delusion......
"Water...... I want to drink water. This familiar feeling of fire burning made her body almost dry.
"Water. Then you wait a minute. "If Zhang Mungdou dares to call him in normal times, he will definitely be beaten again. But seeing that she was really uncomfortable, Li Yinkong got up neatly to find water for her.
"Boss. We're going to lose that girl. A short man scratched his head in confusion, they had followed them well, but the man in red took the rich girl and ran away, "That handsome man won't go with us, right?"
The man with the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes at the head was already unhappy with the lost person, and when he heard his little brother still say stupid things, he was even more angry, "Isn't it stupid, that man started with that girl all the way!" Then, he took out the gold in his bag, threw it up and caught it, "Get that girl's bag of silver taels, and we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives!"
"Stop talking stupidly, try to find it. Magnolia Town is so big, it shouldn't have run out yet. Hurry up and find out. ”
So they wandered around like headless flies, and before they could find it, one of the younger brothers went to pat his boss on the shoulder, "That green-clothed girl under the tree over there!"
"We're blind cats who meet dead rats...... It's a no-brainer! Let's go, get over there!"
They hurriedly walked over, looked around, and pushed her shoulder with their hands, "It seems like she's the only one." Moreover, he is still unconscious. It's so convenient for us to do things!"
"Don't talk nonsense, let's find it!"
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Then, they searched for her for a long time, but they didn't find the money bag, "Why didn't you have it......"
The leader frowned, "Okay, don't delay the time, I don't find it." Take people away. The few who followed her all the way seemed to be either rich or expensive. Are you afraid that they won't take the silver taels to redeem them? It's really not good, this little girl looks good, and she can get a lot of silver taels if she sells it to Na Chunxianglou. ”
"That's exactly what the boss said. ”
They were about to move mung beans when the accident happened again.
"Hey, what are you doing? ”
