Chapter 34: The Death of Old Zhoutou
Jiang Ming walked in the town, and he actually had a feeling of being in a different world.
The streets have been widened a lot, and there are one shiny house after another on both sides, and it is a scene of great enthusiasm...... Occasionally, you can see a dilapidated thatched hut in between, blocked by the shadow of the tall mansion, as if it had disappeared.
"Everyone work hard, in the future, this place will be developed, and a lot of silver will be earned casually......"
"What about you, don't be lazy!"
On the site where the house was built, the overseer shouted loudly for the hard workers to work, and when he saw that some people were tired and resting, he changed his face and scolded sharply.
"My lord, when this house is built, can we really go in and work?"
An honest-looking and stiff old man was trying to carry the bluestone floor tiles, and the blue tendons on his head were bursting up, but he still grinned and asked, his eyes full of anticipation.
A trace of sarcasm and disgust flashed in the overseer's eyes, but the fat on his face was laughing like a chrysanthemum: "Of course, the adults in the city throw it away, it's all white silver, you can pick it up...... But I tell you, those who steal and cheat, don't do it when the time comes. ”
"Okay, okay...... I'll do my best! The old man showed his mouth full of yellow teeth, and thought in his heart that he had done the right thing to let the lord in the city build a house on his field, not only could he receive a tael of silver, but he could also go to the master's house to work and earn money when the time came......
These guys are really good people!
Jiang Ming looked at such scenes expressionlessly, and sighed lightly in his heart:
"The old men of the city came to the town to build a lot of buildings and create a glamorous castle...... However, only the old men themselves can live in it. ”
But at this time, if I rush up and say this to those laborers, I am afraid that I will be drowned by the spitting star, saying that I am jealous of them......
He shook his head and walked on, and a group of people walked mightily down the main road, and soon arrived at the branch of Tiger Hunter here, a half-built mansion, and there was already a carriage waiting outside the courtyard.
Jiang Ming remembered that the original place of this mansion seemed to be a wasteland in the mountains where no one lived...... It seems that Tiger Hunter has put a lot of effort into cleaning up.
"Brother Peng, why are we building a branch here?" Wang Dong loaded all the prey on his body into the car, and asked curiously.
Peng Lu glanced at him, and was about to teach him to be nosy, but then he caught a glimpse of the curious looks of the others, and Fang shook his head helplessly: "This is all the order of the owner, and I only heard Guan Hunting say this last time, 'This Yunmeng Shanze will be lively in the future......"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, what does this mean?
Jiang Ming was also suspicious in his heart, what is the secret of this Yunmeng Shanze...... Could it be related to the fire cloud grass? After all, last time, Guan Feng deliberately asked himself about the Huoyun Grass......
"Okay, don't guess...... Do your job! Peng Lu reprimanded.
After loading all the prey, Peng Lu and the others followed and left, while Jiang Ming took a half-day off and said that he wanted to go home and have a look......
Back in his own courtyard, due to the remote terrain and difficult to walk, the old men in the city probably didn't look down on this shabby place, but they were not affected, and they were even cleaned quite clean.
"It should be Ah Fei's daughter-in-law who helped clean it, Ah Fei's kid can't do this kind of meticulous work......
Thinking like this, Jiang Ming slowly walked to Lao Zhoutou's house again, but he was slightly stunned.
I saw that Lao Zhoutou's house was lonely, it was empty, and the weeds in front of the door were swelling......
A bad premonition rose in Jiang Ming's heart.
"Eh...... Brother Ming is back! A neighbor of Lao Zhoutou came back with two buckets of water, and when he saw Jiang Ming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Jiang Ming pointed to the old Zhou Tou's house: "What about people?" ”
"Old Zhoutou...... neighbor was stunned for a moment, and then sighed with a complicated expression: "He is not in good health, some time ago the Shi family in Fucheng wanted to build a mansion in the town and wanted to occupy his land, Lao Zhoutou stepped forward to theorize, and was kicked by a Shi family......
"In a few days, the people will be gone!" The neighbor sighed: "After his granddaughter buried him, he has no whereabouts since, I heard that he went to the city to learn martial arts......"
Jiang Ming's body stiffened, then relaxed, and sighed calmly: "How difficult life is......"
"Who says it's not, but the old Zhou is too impulsive, the old man occupies the land, which is also good for the development of our Ping'an Town, isn't it......" The neighbor chattered, as if he was already imagining the scene of carrying water with a golden flat burden after making a fortune in the future......
By the time he came back to his senses, Jiang Ming had already walked away.
……
"It's the Shi family again......" Jiang Ming walked slowly down the street, keeping this incident in mind.
What he has is time, this vendetta...... Report slowly!
Before I knew it, I smelled a hint of wine......
Jiang Ming looked up, and the old ginger's tavern was still there, but the guests were still those familiar faces, medicine pickers who exuded the smell of sweat, and old farmers with dark nails......
They cowered in the shadows of the old tavern, slowly drinking the old wine, and the scene outside seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Those old men who want to come to the city will not come to drink in this kind of place......
Jiang Ming walked into the tavern and immediately caused a surprised greeting, and the old Jiang Tou was napping behind the counter, and he was also awakened.
That night, Jiang Ming, Lao Jiang Tou, and Ah Fei talked all night...... There is also a bowl of warm wine quietly arranged......
Early the next morning.
"Jiang Ye, Ah Fei...... Avoid what you can, and don't get into conflict with those people. Jiang Ming was about to go back to Tiger Hunting Village, and before leaving, he explained: "If someone occupies my yard, give it to them, maybe after a while, I will come back......"
Ah Fei nodded to indicate that he knew, while Old Jiang Tou looked at Jiang Ming and said, "That Shi family is different from Old Scar, but it is a martial artist family......
"Jiang Ye rest assured!"
Jiang Ming arched his hand to him, both of them were smart people, so the old Jiang Tou didn't say anything more, and watched Jiang Ming leave......
……
Tiger Hunting Village.
When Jiang Ming came back, he found that there were several people left in the small courtyard, and only he, Fang Lie, and Huang Xiaoying were the only ones who came with him, and Wang Dong was the only one who came earlier than them.
"This group of cowards...... Wang Dong also had gauze wrapped around his shoulders, and said indignantly: "I thought that Zhao Xiaoliu was a man, but I didn't expect it to be a sissy ......."
Jiang Ming smiled: "Everyone has their own ambitions, not everyone can put life and death out of the way. ”
"By the way, Ah Ming, go get the medicinal soup...... Fang Lie hurriedly reminded: "This time, the newcomers who participate in the hunting can get a bowl, which is very useful for cultivating the cowhide tiger bone technique!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes...... I've already drunk it, and I feel like I'll be able to sense the blood tomorrow! Wang Dong was also full of excitement.
Huang Xiaoying was silent, but her dark little face was also a little red, obviously excited.
Jiang Ming touched his nose, he couldn't say that he had drunk several bowls......
However, it is naturally more profitable to drink an extra bowl, Jiang Ming also changed his expression to be excited, ran to Pharmacist Feng, and took the medicinal soup and poured it down.
"I heard that little brother Jiang has sensed blood qi?" Pharmacist Feng asked with a smile.
Jiang Ming nodded hurriedly: "I don't know what advice Feng Ye has?" ”
After getting acquainted with Pharmacist Feng, Jiang Ming's title also climbed up the pole and changed his name to Feng Ye.
Pharmacist Feng smiled and said, "Do you know that there is a saying that medicine and martial arts are not separated? ”
