Chapter 52: Snow in June
Cheng Pu thought it was a sneak attack by the non-dead guards, but he accidentally killed his brother, a stunned look appeared on his face, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
The woman who died tragically did not cry, nor did she scream, she walked over slowly, hugged Cheng Haoran with her short body, turned her head and looked at Cheng Pu resentfully, and said slowly: "Pu'er, you were a little mother in those years, and I didn't let you scream in vain. Come on, you kill me. ”
"I didn't want to kill him." Cheng Pu shook his head with a complicated expression, but then he felt that his explanation was a little redundant, his eyes became firm again, and he said: "I said that this is not my home, I don't want to fight with you for anything, you tell me, where did my mother's body go by you, I won't kill you, I'll go to my mother, and leave now." ”
"I don't know, the burial goods in your mother's tomb were taken away by the man you killed, as for the body, I'm afraid it wasn't thrown out to feed the dog, hahahaha." The woman said with a strange smile.
Lin Fan gasped when he heard this, he could see that this woman had already sprouted the intention of life and death, and it didn't matter if what she said was true or not, because the next moment Cheng Pu had already smashed it with a tyrannical stick.
Cheng Pu went on a killing spree, and the maids in the house were already so frightened that they were not possessed, and they all shouted to escape, but Lin Fan blocked them all back as if he were a door god, he had no grievances with these people, but Cheng Pu didn't speak, so he naturally refused to let anyone go.
Lin Fan has no way of knowing the past of his senior brother's family, and he can't ask anything, but he knows that he still understands the truth of persuading people to be struck by lightning and not persuading others to be kind without others suffering.
When was he a college student who didn't even dare to kill chickens, and since when did he become so disregarded for life, he himself doesn't know.
Cheng Pu did not kill the innocent maid, but called the treasury accompanied by the old servant and took out the gold and silver in it and distributed it as severance pay. Seeing that his subordinates had fled after getting the money, he casually threw the rest of the money on the ground, and had no intention of taking it away. Only from the old servant's room, a portrait of his mother was taken.
"Uncle Zhong, you have worked hard all your life with my mother to get married, and you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and you have taken care of me since I was a child, you can take the property in this family and the house to support the elderly, and I will not come back in the future." Cheng Pu stroked the portrait, then carefully took the portrait into his arms, left a sentence and left with Lin Fan.
The two of them had blood stains on their bodies, and on the way out, Lin Fan looked around vigilantly, if he attracted the attention of others and alarmed the government, he was afraid that he would inevitably have a lot of trouble.
While he was worried, the residents of the town suddenly rioted, but the object of the cause was not Lin Fan and the others, but a fire that suddenly rose in the Cheng Mansion. Cheng Pu stopped and turned around to look at it for a while, then suddenly knelt down in the direction of the fire, buckled his head three times, whispered in his mouth and walked away, and then took advantage of the chaos to leave Yunshui Town with Lin Fan.
"Miss, the young master is back, he has grown up, his appearance is no longer bloated, and he has become a talent. Miss, the young master still looks more like you, he killed a lot of people today, but I can see that he has not changed, and he is still a gentle child like you. Miss, the young master is now successful in martial arts, and no one will be able to bully him in the future, so you can rest assured. Miss, you're gone, the young master has grown up, and there's no point in boiling my old bones any longer..."
The old servant leaned against the pillar and muttered to himself, then took a big gulp of wine from the flask, and drank too quickly and gradually wet his tattered clothes, he looked at the fire that surrounded him, and closed his eyes calmly.
.....................
"Drive!"
Chrysanthemum remnants, full of wounds, the fallen leaves in the forest have been yellowed, birds and finches are crying ginkgo biloba, a young man in fresh clothes and angry horses carrying double knives, galloping horses from far and near, and finally staying at the foot of Yuelong Mountain, in front of a stall with apricot blossom wine.
Lin Fan dismounted, tied the reins to the horse stake, reluctantly stroked the horse's body, and said with emotion: "Horses, horses, you and I are here together, but I am afraid that we will change masters on the return trip." ”
This horse is the red horse that Lingsha picked at the beginning, Lin Fan returned to Jinyang after scraping together enough money, and saw that the horse had not been sold, so he bought it and prepared to give it to her after reuniting with Lingsha at the Young Heroes Meeting, after all, he had promised it at the beginning.
With Lingsha's vivid appearance in mind, Lin Fan chuckled, and thought self-deprecatingly that it was obviously a horse that he bought with his own money, but he was going to ride with Lingsha on the return trip.
Lin Fan stepped into the wine stall, closed his eyes and sniffled, his face was intoxicated, it was so fragrant, the water bag was already empty all the way, he licked his chapped lips, found a place to sit down, and shouted: "Xiao Er is drinking!" ”
This shout, as if touching a switch, the four people on the table next to Lin Fan, all of them raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and they all looked at him, looking at Lin Fan with a chill, he wiped his face, did he have flowers on his face?
A gray-clothed man with a ponytail got up and walked over to Lin Fan, asking with a little apology and inquiry on his face: "This brother, in Xia Yang Yun, dare to ask, but he is here to participate in this year's Young Heroes Meeting?" ”
Lin Fan was stunned, although he didn't know why the other party would find him, he still got up and saluted back without being rude: "Exactly, what advice does my brother have?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, as the so-called solitary pleasure is not as good as everyone's fun, solo drinking is not as good as all drinking, when you meet, you have fate, why don't you come and drink with us?" Yang Yun warmly invited.
"This..."Lin Fan was a little hesitant, he was inevitably a little suspicious when he was out of the house, not to mention that the other party met him in Pingshui, and he didn't have any friendship, could it be a fraud to invite himself like this? He wanted to refuse, but he was really curious about the identities of these people, and he had no other skills under the training of Lingsha, but he was not afraid that others would poison him, so he readily agreed.
Lin Fan took the apricot blossom wine he ordered from the second-hand child, sat on the other party's table with the wine jar in one hand, and after entering the table, he first lifted the lid of the wine and poured himself a bowl, holding the wine bowl with both hands and said proudly: "Everyone, we don't know each other, thanks to the love of several brothers, invite me to drink together, I will do it first as a respect, and we will know each other after drinking this bowl of wine." After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
The four people at the table laughed and poured wine and drank together, Lin Fan wiped his mouth with his sleeve casually after drinking, and said, "I haven't asked a few people how to call them." ”
Hearing this, Yang Yun got up and began to introduce Lin Fan one by one, he first pointed to a man in a blue brocade robe with a handsome face and said, "This is Ren Jianhan Ren's brother, and he is the young master of Sword Casting Villa. ”
"But the Sword Forge Villa that provided the first prize for this Hero Meeting?" Lin Fan was a little surprised, if so, then this brother's background is really not small.
"Exactly." Ren Jianhan nodded.
Lin Fan was in awe, and arched his hand: "I have admired the name for a long time, the younger brother has always been curious about the Sword Casting Villa, I heard that all the divine weapons in the martial arts are from the hands of the Sword Casting Villa, if you have the opportunity, please take the younger brother to visit." ”
"After that, the name of Sword Casting Villa is just a false name, and it is all touted by some people in the rivers and lakes who want to come to the door to ask for weapons. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just a larger blacksmith shop. Ren Jianhan waved his hand again and again, responded modestly, and then looked at Lin Fan who was a little speechless and stopped, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and asked, "Haven't asked my brother what to call him?" ”
"The younger brother Lin Fan, who is twenty years old, is a disciple of Xiaoyao Valley near Jinyang." Lin Fan replied politely.
"Then you claim that your little brother didn't suffer, everyone here wants to compete for a place, and they all practice martial arts to twenty-three and follow the rules, but I don't know how many families will be happy and a few will be sad at that time." Beside Ren Jianhan, a ragged and unkempt man lay on the table without any image, pouring wine into his mouth and snickering.
"Brother Xiao Yan, what do you look like, hurry up, let Brother Lin see the joke for nothing." Ren Jianhan looked at Xiao Yan unhappily and reminded, and then smiled apologetically at Lin Fan. "If Brother Lin is interested, if he has the opportunity to go to Luoyang in the future, he can come to the Sword Casting Villa to find me, and he will definitely sweep the couch for his brother at that time and greet him warmly."
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, and laughed indifferently: "It's called Hanako, what image do I want." ”
"Brother Xiao is a member of the beggar gang?" Lin Fan's eyes froze, his face unconsciously became a little colder, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
In the face of Ren Jianhan's persuasion, Xiao Yan was indifferent, but seeing the change in Lin Fan's face, he sat up straight, and asked with interest: "Little Brother Lin seems to have a prejudice against our beggar gang, and it doesn't look like it, it's strange that I call Huazi smelly, where did Little Brother Lin's prejudice come from?" ”
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, and told Xiao Yan about the grievances between himself and the beggar gang, as well as what he had seen and heard, and picked up what was convenient to say.
"Oh, those people in this altar are really going back more and more." Xiao Yan's head shook like a rattle, and shouted weirdly, then looked at Lin Fan and smiled, and then said: "People, in order to survive, you can come up with any way, after solving the problem of food and clothing, you will start to pay attention to clothing, if you solve the problem of clothing, you want to be rich, and if you have money, you want identity and rights, and there is no end to desire." But in fact, the beggar gang is all over the world, it has long been like a plate of scattered sand, there are local management methods, individuals have their own way of living, and they do not interfere with each other, I do not deny that there are three teachings and nine streams in the beggar gang, what kind of people have it, and I also admit that there are few good people in the beggar gang, after all, the children of good families are not in the beggar gang, but if you want to be beaten to death with a stick, you will give us a coffin and make a conclusion....." He paused when he said this, and suddenly pointed to the white petals that were blown up by the wind outside, and exclaimed: "Look! Snow in June! ”
