Chapter XXXIII

Watching Zhang Guan run away quickly, Zhou Zheng's heart couldn't say anything.

He only now understands that the feeling of his incomparable comfort last night turned out to be exchanged for the five-year lifespan of these 9,000 people!

No wonder there are so many cultivators here! It turns out that everyone is looking for their own culprit!

What a devil he is! It turns out that one breath of oneself can really decide the life and death of 9,000 people!

What should I do? How should I face the family members of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Hong? How to face Ming'er?

For the sake of themselves, they must have suffered a lot of white eyes and scolding in the county in the past two years!

Ming'er?

He suddenly remembered what he had just said.

What do you mean? Could it be that Ming'er is also one of these 9,000 people?

He didn't dare to think about it anymore and ran home quickly.

Zhou Zheng ran to the east courtyard and found that the gate was sealed. This was to be expected.

He came to the West Courtyard again, but found that it was also sealed. He was astonished.

Seeing that there was no one around, he jumped over the wall and jumped in.

Inside, it was overgrown with grass and a scene of decay.

Following the remnants of the bluestone path, he slowly walked west. In one of the most remote courtyards in the northwest corner, he heard human voices.

There was an artificial wall that completely separated it from the entire western courtyard. A door was installed in the area facing the street, and it became a very small and lonely courtyard.

Zhou Zheng wanted to jump over the wall, but he was afraid of scaring everyone. So, he took a detour to the door and slammed on it.

It was Zhang Hongye who opened the door, wearing a coarse linen dress that even the previous family members didn't wear, and it was patched, with a rickety figure and a haggard face.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Uncle Zhang!" Zhou Zheng choked up.

Zhang Hongye stared at the young man in front of him, his eyes widened a little, "Less..." he hurriedly covered his mouth.

After pulling Zhou Zheng into the courtyard and quickly locking the courtyard door, he lowered his voice and cried, "Young master! You're back! ”

Then, he pulled Zhou Zheng and walked to the house, shouting in a suppressed voice, "Old woman, Ming'er, come out quickly!" Who do you see coming back? ”

As soon as Zhou Zheng entered the house, he was filled with Aunt Hong and Ming'er. The three of them hugged their heads and cried, but they didn't dare to amplify their grief. Just whimpering and telling the hardships of parting.

Under Uncle Zhang's reminder, Aunt Hong suddenly remembered that she quickly washed vegetables and cut meat, and was busy preparing meals.

When they sat down at the dinner table, everyone recounted their experiences after parting, and they couldn't help but sigh again.

It turned out that after Zhou Zheng left, the gossip about whether he was a demon or a demon never stopped, causing panic and anger among the people.

In addition, the families of the three dead people kept complaining and making trouble, and in the end, the government had to intervene and seal the courtyard of the Zhou family.

Originally, the West Courtyard was Zhang Hongye's family property and was not included in the seizure. But everyone thinks that Zhang Hongye and their family are Zhou Zheng's accomplices. Not only to seal down their homes, but also to arrest them and send them to prison.

Therefore, the West Courtyard was not spared.

However, the county officials had accepted the benefits of the Zhou family before, and they had a good relationship with Zhang Hongye, so they still left a place to let them have a place to live.

The government originally planned to sell these two houses, and the money from the sale was distributed to the 9,000 people, which was also a kind of compensation.

But Zhou Zheng is holding the title of a demon, who dares to buy it? What if it's true, buy his house, and get revenge on him?

Therefore, these two places have been idle, and even homeless beggars dare not come.

As for Zhang Hongye, the past two years have not only been unsatisfactory! Being pointed at and scolded by someone is a trivial matter, and he is punched and kicked at every turn. was so frightened that Aunt Hong and Ming'er didn't dare to go out on the street.

Zhang Hongye was beaten several times, and finally injured his waist, and was slowly let go by the people.

The one who was beaten the most was Zhang Guan, who refused to admit that Zhou was a monster and a demon, and he was beaten the hardest.

But this kid has rough skin and thick flesh, and he has been subjected. In addition, he has a brute force, whoever beats him, he beats whom, grabs the leader and beats him to death.

In this way, he gradually became famous! Now walking on the street, it is easy for no one to provoke him again.

Therefore, now, only Zhang Duan is running on the street alone, and the three of them can only hide at home and live in fear.

Zhou Zheng didn't say a word. He didn't know how to comfort him.

Especially, looking at Ming'er's weak body and pale face, his heart was dripping blood.

It's all your own fault! He can't forgive himself!

Seeing that Zhou Zheng's face was heavy, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Hong stopped chattering in time and asked Ming'er to serve Zhou Zheng to rest.

Ming'er was still a little shy for a while. She's almost eighteen years old, and she's getting to know everything. Two years of estrangement made her both familiar and unfamiliar with Zhou Zheng.

All of a sudden, he went to serve a strong man who was taller than himself, and this place was no more than the bedroom back then, with only one room and one bed. This made her feel at a loss, and she actually felt like a deer was bumping into each other.

However, it is her duty to serve Zhou. She suppressed her emotions, but still dutifully fetched water for him, freshened up, made the bed and folded the quilt.

"Ming'er, tell me, why are you doing this?"

Ming'er was shocked, but her heart was warm. The young master still knew in the end and understood Ming'er's intentions.

At that time, she was the first person to donate her blood, and it was three drops. If it weren't for Jin Guang's dissuasion, she would have been eager to give all her essence and blood.

As long as the young master can be good, let alone ten years of life, even if she exchanges her life, she is willing!

She knows the current state of her body. She could feel that she didn't have many years left, but she had no regrets.

Zhou Zheng lay in her arms, crying like a child, saying over and over again, "I will definitely find a way to cure you!" ”

She's content!

She didn't want to make the young master sad, so she coaxed him like she did when she was a child.

"Young master, shall I play the piano for you? In the past two years, I have learned several more tunes, and I will play them to you! ”

She knew that the young master loved to listen to her play the piano whenever she was unhappy, so she took out a short piano and put it on the table. Then, Shang Yu tuned the tone and began to play.

How could Zhou Zheng be in this mood at this time? But he didn't want to brush Ming'er's mind, so he still sat on the edge of the bed and listened.

Suddenly, he thought of the jade flute and the music score, and hurriedly took it out for Ming'er.

Ming'er can't play the flute, but she can understand the score.

There are three tunes on the score. The score of the first song is very short, and Ming'er memorized it after reading it a few times. She tried to play it on the short piano.

The first sound popped up, and Zhou Zheng felt that his depression was swept away.

As the tune picks up, it feels refreshed and at peace. Like a spring breeze in March, floating in the rippling blue waves. Indescribable calm!

Suddenly, Zhou Zheng's heart moved, put away the jade flute and music score, and hid in the bed incognito.

In the house, the air fluctuated slightly, and three immortal wind and bone people appeared around Ming'er. One is a green pine, the other is a bluestone, and Yunling.

The three of them were ordered by the head of the sect to meet with the Taoist friends of Tianlu Mountain, and they happened to pass by here and heard the sound of the piano.

Ming'er was in a state of forgetfulness at this time, her whole body was in the sound of the piano, and she didn't know what was going on outside her body.

The three of them glanced at each other, and did not interrupt Ming'er, but turned on their mana and spread the sound of the piano throughout the county.

In an instant, the entire county fell silent.

No more killing, no fighting, no more crying. Everyone sat on the spot, leaning or leaning, sitting or lying, and listened silently.

Until the end of the song. All of them looked at the mess around them in amazement and shame as if they had just woken up from a big dream.

Then, each of them smiled and hated each other, cleaned up what should be cleaned up, and cleaned up what should be cleaned.

When the sun rises again tomorrow, everyone will be able to live a normal life again.

Ming'er closed her eyes and savored it for a long time.

"This song is so good! Young Master..."

She jumped up in fright, "Who are you?" ”

"Sister, don't be afraid! We are Taoist priests of Jiuhua Mountain. What song did you just play? Yun Ling spoke first.

"I don't know, it's..."

She just wanted to talk about the young master, but it could be seen that there was no shadow of Zhou Zheng in the room. She hurriedly changed her tune.

"It's when I think of the young master, I play it randomly."

"Can you compose the song?"

Seeing Ming'er's hesitation, Qingshi said, "Little girl, this song of yours can save many people's lives!" You don't want to see these neighbors of yours killing each other, do you? ”

Although she didn't go out, Ming'er still knew about the chaos outside. Especially those heart-rending cries, they can't be stopped.

The score belongs to the young master, but the young master should also be willing to save people!

After thinking about it, Ming'er still wrote the song on paper and handed it to Qingshi.

"Thank you! You're sleepy, sleep well! ”

Ming'er suddenly felt that she couldn't open her eyes, and lay down on the bed in a daze and fell asleep.
