Walking all the way from Jinzhong Mountain to seeing Mengdu City, everyone suddenly felt that the long road had come to an end, so they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

Mondu is not very big, but the surrounding trees make it extra vibrant and spiritual. Passing through the high city wall, walking on the damp bluestone road, looking at the layers of pavilions, blue bricks and tiles, small bridges and flowing water, everyone does not feel the novelty in their hearts.

Commercial activities are quite active on the street, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are many items in the shops, which can be selected by people with different needs. On the streets, there are people setting up stalls, some selling fruits and vegetables, some selling hoes and sickles, some selling medicinal herbs, some selling musical instruments, everything there.

The streets are bustling with people, but they don't seem to be noisy. When the passers-by saw a group of strangers suddenly appear, they all stopped to watch, but they thought that it was a person from the sentry village who came to the market, and did not come forward to interrogate.

"I thought that Mengdu was like Admiralty Mountain, a sheltered place, but I didn't want it to be so prosperous." Looking at the lively street market, Meng Baiyu said to himself.

"On weekdays, there are fewer people, but today is the polder day, and some people come from nearby sentry villages to catch the market." Jin Peng, who was walking in front, introduced, his pace slowed down, and he walked side by side with Meng Baiyu, "Is there a market in Jinzhong Mountain?" ”

"Yes, it's just not as big, there are many fewer people, and there are no people on weekdays, and on the market day, there are only a few scattered people who come, but they are all people from a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are few outsiders." Meng Baiyu replied.

After crossing the main street, we came to a lake, and on the lake, there was a rope bridge. On the other side of the lake, there are some houses.

"My house is on the opposite mountain, and the brothers will settle down in my house first." Jin Peng said and went to the rope bridge first.

After crossing the rope bridge and coming to the building, I found that the dwellings here are chic and elegant, and the walls are exquisitely carved and exquisite. In the center of the mountain, there is a flat land, and next to the flat land, there is a two-story house, which is Jin Peng's home.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a boy of three or four years old rushed out of the house, jumping and shouting, "Oh, Daddy is back, Daddy is back." ”

Jin Peng hurriedly squatted down and opened his arms to greet the oncoming boy: "Do you miss Daddy?" ”

"Yes, I miss it so much." The little boy replied, smiling and throwing himself into Jin Peng's arms.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the house: "Your father is tired, let him enter the house first." After speaking, he found a group of people standing in the open space outside the house, and couldn't help but pout, "Aren't you all going home first?" ”

"it, you're mistaken, they're not my brothers at the sentry." Jin Peng said to the middle-aged woman. It turned out that the middle-aged woman was Jin Peng's wife.

"That's?"

"It's our relatives who are now in trouble and have come to join us."

"Ahh What kind of trouble did you suffer that so many people suffered? ”

"Flood."

"And how do you settle everyone?"

Jin Peng thought for a while and said, "You go and inform the neighborhood Lingju first, and let them come and bring a few brothers and sisters to eat and stay." ”

"Yes." After hearing this, Mrs. Jin hurriedly left, took two steps and turned back, "Did Abba go to your side?" ”

"Going, he said he would be back in a few days." Jin Peng replied.

Not long after Mrs. Jin left, the neighbors came, and some women saw everyone and wiped away their tears and lamented: "Oh my God, why did this god kill you?" How are you all? ”。

"Don't cry, each of us will bring a few brothers and sisters home to live." Jin Peng said loudly to his neighbors.

So they each took some of them home. Meng Baiyu, Xiao Li, Mr. Mei, Ah Qi, and Ying'er were arranged in Jin Peng's house. Old Man Meng, Old Lady Meng, Meng Zhong, You Lian, You Yang, and Ge Qi went to another family.

"Where's my aunt?" As soon as Ying'er entered the room, she asked.

"Where's Grandma?" Seeing Ying'er ask, Jin Peng turned her head and asked Mrs. Jin who gave way to the side.

"I went to see Aunt Luo Zhen, and someone just came to report that Aunt Luo Zhen's eye disease has worsened again." Mrs. Kim replied.

"Why didn't my Taoist come to meet us, it turned out that my aunt's condition had worsened again. Didn't you invite Lang Zhong? Jin Peng said again.

"What's the use of inviting Lang Zhong, crying every day, what can Lang Zhong do? This Mei priest is really, I'm afraid I'm dead, and I haven't come to see it for so many years. ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense, Priest May is in good health." Jin Peng said, introducing a few people to Mrs. Jin.

"Now that I'm in trouble, I remember, where have I been before?" When Jin Peng introduced Mr. Mei, Mrs. Jin looked at Mr. Mei and muttered.

"Zhenzhen, is she having a good time?" Mr. Mei asked in a low voice.

"Okay, you'll know when you see it." Mrs. Kim didn't have a good air.

Seeing that Mrs. Jin didn't have a good tone, Mr. Mei turned to ask Jin Peng: "Can the old man go and see her?" ”

"Priest Mei, don't worry, before setting off from the sentry village, I have ordered Luo Cheng to come and report the news, and now I am waiting for the reception of the head with peace of mind." Jin Peng Road.

Mrs. Jin no longer paid attention to Mr. Mei, and after she and Ying'er met each other, she went to the kitchen by herself. After Mrs. Jin left, Jin Peng whispered: "My wife can't speak, please don't be surprised by Priest Mei." ”

"No, no." Mr. Mei said, looking around, "Your house is quite spacious. ”

"It's enough for my family to live, but if you want to come to three or five guests, the bedroom is not enough, I wanted to find a day to expand, but now Zhongzhou is eyeing Mingchuan, and I don't know when it will fight, I can only guard the sentry day and night, and I really can't pull out." Jin Peng sighed.

"Why do the people of Zhongzhou have their eyes on Mingchuan?" Ying'er asked weakly.

"They don't see that we have food to eat, they don't see us to drink, they don't see we have clothes to wear, they don't see we have cattle and sheep." Jin Peng Road.

"If they don't eat, they won't plant themselves, if they don't wear it, they won't weave it themselves, and if they don't have cattle and sheep, they won't raise it themselves. Ying'er looked puzzled.

"You're too young to understand that." As Jin Peng spoke, he took a stool for Meng Baiyu and the others to rest, and he also sat down to talk to Meng Baiyu and the others.

Mrs. Jin quickly prepared the meal and was about to set the table to eat, when Luo Cheng walked in with a few people.

"Brother Jin, the head man wants you to go to him." Luo Cheng said to Jin Peng.

"I'll go after dinner." Jin Peng Road.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to eat, so the head man told you to go right away." After Luo Cheng finished speaking, he glanced at the people who came with him.

"Brother Jin, change your outfit and go." One of the people who came said. It turned out that Jin Peng was busy greeting Meng Baiyu and the others, and forgot to change his battle uniform for a while.

"Well, it looks like the lord has a good treat." Jin Peng shook his head helplessly.

"Who is Meng Baiyu?" The man who spoke asked again.

"It's down there." Meng Baiyu stood up and replied.

The man glanced at Meng Baiyu and didn't say anything, but turned his gaze to Old Mr. Mei: "This old man must be Priest Mei?" ”

"The old man is exactly." Mr. Mei also stood up.

"Tied." The man said in a fierce voice.

"What's going on?" Jin Peng stood up violently, "Priest Mei is my guest. ”

"You don't care about this, you can't control it."

"This is in my house, how can I not manage it?" Jin Peng's face was flushed with anger.

"The leader commands us like this, and we can't blame it. Since this is your home, let's go outside and tie it up. After the man finished speaking, he turned to Mr. Mei and said, "Priest Mei is so interested, go outside by yourself." ”

When the man had finished speaking, he led the men out.

"What's going on?" After the visitor withdrew, Jin Peng asked Luo Cheng.

"I don't know, the head man was just very angry with Brother Jin for bringing people into Mingchuan without authorization, and asked Brother Jin to explain, but he didn't say anything about others." Luo Cheng replied.

"Hello, I'm protecting Priest Mei and the others, I'll go find the head man to theorize." Jin Peng said, taking a step towards the door.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Mr. Mei hurriedly stepped forward to stop Jin Peng.

"Priest May, why are you doing this?" Jin Peng said urgently.

"It's all my fault, you can't wade through this troubled water, I'll go out." After Mr. Mei finished speaking, he strode out.

Seeing this, Meng Baiyu and the others also hurriedly followed.

"What do you want to do to Mr." Walking outside, Meng Baiyu questioned the visitor.

"We don't know, you met the head man and asked him the old man yourself." The person who came said it, but his hand put a rope on Mr. Mei's body.

Meng Baiyu was about to step forward to stop him, but Mr. Mei shouted: "Yu'er can't, and the old man doesn't dare to do anything to the old man." ”

Seeing Mr. Mei being tied up, Meng Baiyu was at a loss, and his heart was full of humiliation. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him again, Jin Peng had already changed his outfit and came out: "Brothers, don't worry, I'll find the leader." ”

"Lord Jinzhai, you don't have to go, the head man has something to say, such as the people of the Mei priest, you will stay at home and accompany them." When someone came to see Jin Peng come out, he said sternly.

"I'm going to go." Jin Peng said angrily.

"Then take a look below." The visitor said, pointing down the mountain. Only then did everyone discover that the passages under the mountain had been blocked by the black press.

Looking at the back of Mr. Mei being taken away, Meng Baiyu suddenly felt sad in his heart, only saying that Jinzhongshan and Mingchuan were close to the family, but he didn't want to be treated like this just after arriving in Mengdu, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns in the future, right?

"Brother Meng, don't look at it, go into the house to eat." Jin Peng saw Meng Baiyu standing motionless and whispered.

Hearing Jin Peng's words, Meng Baiyu came back to his senses: "The little brother is in a hurry, how can he still be in the mood to eat?" ”

"No matter what happens, the meal always has to be eaten. Besides, Priest Mei will be fine, what does the head man really want to do to him, he did it back then, why should he stay until today? Jin Peng comforted.

After listening to Jin Peng's words, Meng Baiyu felt a little relieved in his heart, so he entered the house. After everyone entered the house, Mrs. Jin immediately set the table for food, and on the table, everyone ate but did not speak. In order to break the dullness, Jin Peng said: "How about a little wine?" ”

"Let's have a drink." Meng Bai Yu said.

Jin Peng asked Mrs. Jin to find an empty bowl and put it in front of everyone, and poured wine into each bowl. After drinking, seeing that Meng Baiyu and the others had not yet lifted the bowl, he said: "The wine is not good, everyone will drink it." ”

Meng Baiyu then lifted the bowl and drank it all. He also drank two sips on weekdays, and now Mr. Mei has been arrested, although the wine is good wine, he feels that he is drinking the bitter water, which is difficult to swallow, but Jin Peng is so gracious, he can't sweep his face, and only pretends to be unfinished: "The wine is good, another bowl." ”

Jin Peng added another bowl to Meng Baiyu, and said while pouring wine: "Brother Meng is a refreshing person, brother likes it, haha." After saying that, he said to the others, "Don't just eat and drink." ”

The others lifted their bowls and thanked them, before they drank them all.

I was going to drink only a little, but I really started to drink, I couldn't stop anymore, I didn't eat the food, and I drank bowl after bowl.

"Brother Jin Peng, why did they arrest Mr.?" After a few bowls of wine, Meng Baiyu became drunk, and began to talk more.

"I don't know, but with my brother's peace of mind, I'll go to the head tomorrow to ask what happened." Jin Peng Road.

"But how do you get there, isn't there someone guarding the mountain?"

"It's okay, I have my own way."

As he was talking, he saw You Yang walking in crying: "Brother Bai Yu, they arrested Grandpa, what should I do?" ”

"Sister You Yang, it's okay, they just asked Mr. to go drinking, it's okay." Seeing You Yang come in, Meng Baiyu's drunkenness seemed to have dissipated a lot, he stood up and comforted You Yang, and after speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Li and Ah Qi, as if to blame someone for telling her the news.

"I didn't say that." Xiao Li said softly, although his voice was soft, it exuded a coldness.

"I didn't go out either, Ying'er can testify." Ah Qi said, glancing at Ying'er.

"You didn't tell me, but it spread and you kept it from me. Why do you have to hide it from me? Why did they arrest Grandpa? ”

"They just asked Priest Mei to go drink, it's fine." Jin Peng also stood up, "Child, mother, you find a pair of dishes and chopsticks for Miss You Yang to eat." ”

Mrs. Jin left the table and went to the kitchen, found the dishes and chopsticks and came back, looked at You Yang who was still standing with tears on his face, and said, "Priest Mei has become a family outside, and her granddaughters are so old." ”

"I picked it up by my grandfather." You Yang wiped away his tears.

"It's really pitiful that the girl has such a sad background." Mrs. Jin seemed to be a little surprised, and hurriedly took You Yang's hand and asked her to sit beside her, "Girl, don't worry, the head man is not a hard-hearted person, and he won't treat Priest Mei like this." Aunt Zhenzhen's eye disease is getting worse now, maybe he still wishes that Priest Mei would appear. ”

"Grandpa doesn't know how to heal, and he can't cure other people's eye diseases, so what's the use of him appearing."

"As soon as he appeared, Aunt Zhenzhen's eye disease might be cured." Mrs. Jin said as she put vegetables into You Yang's bowl.

"I'll do it myself." Although You Yang said this, he handed over the bowl to pick up the dishes brought by Mrs. Jin, "What does grandpa's appearance have to do with who's eye disease is good or bad?" ”

It turned out that when Jin Peng and Mr. Mei talked about Luo Zhen, You Yang was not present, so he didn't know the relationship between Mr. Mei and Luo Zhen at this time. When Mrs. Jin was about to tell her, Jin Peng glared at Mrs. Jin, and Mrs. Jin had to take back the words that spit out to her mouth: "It's okay, it's okay, the girl eats with peace of mind, and she can rest at ease after eating." ”

"Brother Jin Peng and sister-in-law both said this, I think Mr. should be fine, Sister You Yang will put a hundred hearts." Meng Baiyu comforted again.

Before you know it, the moon has begun to set in the west. After drinking many bowls of wine, Meng Baiyu was afraid that the wine would make a mistake, so he pretended to be drunk and threw himself on the table, and Jin Peng had to let Luo Cheng send him upstairs to rest. After Luo Cheng went downstairs, Meng Baiyu gently opened the window, looked at the hazy figure under the mountain through the hazy moonlight, and thought of a way to rescue Mr. Mei. Thinking about it, the wine gradually started to rise, and he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
