Chapter 136: I want to participate
After Zheng Quqi arranged the outsourcing of car parts, he made a special trip to the market to buy a bottle of rice wine, a paper bag of sacrifices, paper money, incense and candles, and found Mu Ke's tomb.
"I'm sorry Uncle Hamu, I'm late, mainly because ......"
She choked in her throat at this, and only squatted down after taking a deep breath to calm her emotions.
She pulled out some of the newly grown weeds in front of the grave, cleaned up the area around the tombstone, and then laid out the things she had brought with her.
After planting the incense and candles, piling up the paper money into a pagoda shape and burning it, she knelt down in front of the tomb and kowtowed respectfully to him three times.
"Uncle Mu, I didn't expect that the separation after such an ordinary side would become our farewell, if you knew it would be like this...... I will never ask you to send a letter to Brother Wei. ”
"I've avenged Uncle Mu for you."
"But what about killing her? I owe you what I owe you to ......"
She has always been haunted by his death, feeling both guilty and sad about the death of her familiar elders.
"You're Sang Xuanqing?"
Behind her, a cold voice suddenly came.
Zheng Quqi turned around, but saw a middle-aged woman standing behind her, the woman was about thirty or forty years old, combing the woman's hair in a bun, plain cloth, her face was like frost, and a pair of sharp Danfeng eyes stared at her.
Seeing that the other party looked bad, Zheng Quqi did not admit it immediately, but asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" You are looking for Sang Xuanqing, does he have anything to do with you? ”
The middle-aged woman smiled coldly and said, "The person you just kowtowed to worship and repented of your guilt is my husband, do you think it has anything to do with me?" ”
Zheng Quqi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You, you are Uncle Mu's wife who is good at medicinal diets?" ”
Don't blame Zheng Quqi for only remembering the other party's one characteristic, the most important thing is that the medicinal diet that the other party gave her is really effective.
Since she drank a few doses of medicine, practicing soft bone technique is like a tiger's wings, and her qi and blood are smooth, no matter how cold it is, her hands and feet are no longer as cold as before, if she doesn't soak her feet, she won't warm up overnight.
"Heh, that's how he introduced me?" The woman raised her eyebrows, and when her eyes fell on the tombstone, it was difficult to hide her gloom.
Zheng Quqi hurriedly got up, she said: "Auntie, no, sister, Uncle Mu once said that his wife is very powerful, and she is also very kind-hearted, helpful, considerate and gentle, and she is the best wife......
As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red, wiping the moistness from the corners of her eyes, and she whispered, "I'm sorry, Uncle Mu's business ......"
"Originally, after knowing everything that had happened, I did blame you, even if it was not your fault, everything can only be said to be bad people and cruelty, but to say that it has nothing to do with you, I don't believe myself." The woman's voice hardened in vain.
Zheng Quqi didn't say a word, and listened to her words quietly.
"But, right now, right here you kneel there...... You said, what about revenge, people can't be resurrected after death, but I suddenly understood, why Lao Mu, he is so different from you. ”
She suddenly stretched out her hand, her fingers curled like eagle claws, and grabbed Zheng Quqi's arm.
Zheng Quqi was taken aback, but based on his trust in Uncle Mu's character and the belief that the wife he married would definitely not be a big murderer, she pressed it down and didn't move.
The middle-aged woman glanced at her with a smile: "You don't look very smart, what if I'm lying to you?" Or, because of the guilt in your heart, you don't resist, and you plan to let me kill you to vent your anger? ”
If someone else wants to fight and kill her, Zheng Quqi may be fine, but if the other party wants to reason with her, then she will not be in vain.
She took the other party into her eyes with a pair of big eyes, and replied to her reasonably: "I believe that you didn't lie to me, not because of your words, but because I did smell a smell of Chinese medicine on you, if you are a person who has been serving medicine for a long time, you will not even have a body fragrance that smells of medicine, in addition, I am not not resisting, I admit that I am not guilty to the point of wanting to die, but I believe that Uncle Mu and his wife are not a person who kills indiscriminately without distinguishing between right and wrong." ”
The middle-aged woman was stunned by her words for a moment, and then said, "Sharp teeth." ”
Her fingers pinched Zheng Quqi's pulse, and after checking the pulse, she said solemnly: "You have suffered a serious life-threatening injury before?" ”
It turned out to be a pulse diagnosis, startling her, although she thought that the other party should not kill her, but maybe the other party would beat her up without saying anything.
"Yes."
"With such a serious injury, you have recovered to the point where you can jump and jump now, have you ever used an elixir above the saint level to treat it?" She asked again.
God, you can know so many things by checking your pulse?
"Yes, I also nibbled on a ginseng that is more than 100 years old."
She continued to guess, and she blew herself up.
"You really have a great fate, you use ginseng to replenish qi, hang your life, and then heal with holy medicine...... However, after all, you still hurt your lifeline, do you occasionally cough for a long time at night, tearing your heart out? ”
"Well, once, what's wrong? What is the lifeblood? Is it serious? She blinked, looking like she wasn't in the right place.
The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes: "Yes, and it will get more and more serious, righteous qi failure, and even tuberculosis, and you might as well ask, your disease, others can cure it or not." ”
She looked at Zheng Quqi fixedly, but in fact, her voice drifted away and fell into the ears of other well-intentioned people.
I finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
“…… Help me. ”
"Little clever ghost, how do you know I can save you?"
Zheng Quchi saw that she was still in the mood to amuse herself, and immediately touted: "Because my sister is beautiful and kind, the most important thing is that you don't want to save me, so why bother to ignite me, just call me to drag and drag, and finally cough up and become tuberculosis, and die of incure?" ”
Although her words were very pleasant, the middle-aged woman still corrected her: "My name is Mei Ruoling, you can call me Aunt Ling, don't call me sister, I don't want to be a generation behind Lao Mu." ”
Zheng Quqi is as good as a stream: "Okay, Aunt Ling." ”
There is no elder who doesn't like a junior who likes to be sweet, not to mention such a thing as a dog's leg, it also depends on the appearance, Zheng Quqi's younger sister's apple face is lively and cute.
Mei Ruoling's eyes went from cold, to now softened and helpless, she sighed lightly: "I won't let you go, and I will continue to condition your body, Lao Mu told me about this at the beginning, and I promised him, but it's just ......"
"Just?"
Mei Ruoling suddenly looked at her with a straight face: "You just said that you feel that you owe Lao Mu a favor that you can't repay, right?" ”
Zheng Quqi's face, sometimes although it seems to have a clear stupidity, but in fact, she has a clear eye and a clear heart, she understands the meaning of Mei Ruoling's words, and said: "If there is anything I need to do, Aunt Ling will never shirk if I can do it." ”
She was so refreshing, which made Mei Ruoling very pleased, and at the same time admired her even more.
"Okay, I want you to participate in the Jichun Craftsman Guild, and do your best to enter the finals and fulfill his wish for Lao Mu."
Ji Chun Craftsman Union?
Of course Zheng Quqi knew this, Uncle Mu had told her that he hoped she could go with him.
But what does this have to do with wishes?
Zheng Quqi asked, "What wish?" ”
Mei Ruoling said, this is a long story.
"Do you know that Lao Mu is not from Ye Guo, he was born in a family of generations of craftsmen, and has participated in many civil engineering construction with his parents and grandparents since he was a child, and he has mastered many carpentry skills when he was a teenager...... Later, in order to further refine his craft, he apprenticed to Guizi Kingdom to learn to build weapons, woodwork, and ingenuity, and when he was young, he also created many useful instruments......"
Mei Ruoling said.
Among the teachers he worshipped, there was a senior brother, he was born with a unique comprehension, which he could never compare, in terms of craftsmanship, the same teacher, but that senior brother was always one step ahead of him to get started.
Gradually, the arrogant Mu Ke had a deviation in his heart.
He was very jealous of the other party, and this kind of thinking increased day by day, and later, he formed a state of madness.
He wanted to ruin that senior brother's reputation.
Therefore, at the triennial Jichun Craftsman Union Event, the senior brother should have relied on his real skills to break into the finals, but because he was dropped by Mu Ke, his work was screened out by the conference.
This incident was exactly as Mu Ke expected, the senior brother fell from a high place once, suffered a great blow, and has been in a state of collapse ever since.
Seeing this, Mu Ke was indeed secretly proud at first, but as time went by, his heart began to mature and his thinking changed.
Especially when I learned that senior brother, he already knew that he did this thing, but he didn't think about debunking and blaming him.
Seeing that the former proud son of heaven has become what he is now, his late conscience and guilt overwhelmed him.
He didn't dare to face that senior brother.
A few years later, Mu Ke was ready and also signed up for the Jichun Craftsman Guild, and he specially invited his senior brother to join him, he felt that he was sorry for the other party, and he wanted the two to join forces to return the lost glory to him.
The senior brother understood his intentions and agreed to him.
However, they encountered a very strong opponent, that is, Zuo Mo, the master craftsman of the Southern Chen Kingdom.
During the game, Mu Ke was accidentally plotted by the other party, and the senior brother not only ignored the previous suspicions, but also gave his life for him in order to save him, and finally ended in a fiasco.
After this bad news, Muko was completely defeated, and the remorse and frustration in his heart drowned him out.
He said goodbye to the past completely, came to Ye Kingdom incognito, and became an engineer Mu Ke.
But Mei Ruoling knew that Mu Ke's heart had always been haunted by the past, and he was extremely unwilling, and he dreamed of fighting for himself and his senior brother to regain his life and reputation taken away by Zuo Mo.
But he also knows that he is wasted, completely wasted, he is afraid of woodwork, over the years, not only has he not made the slightest progress, but has retreated, but Zuo Mo has become famous, but he is afraid that woodcraft has far surpassed him too much.
Even if he went to join the Jichun Craftsman Union again, he would only bring humiliation on himself.
His frustration and loneliness shrouded him almost every day, but one day, Mei Ruoling saw him come back, but the whole person was different.
He mentioned a young boy named "Sang Xuanqing", who was overjoyed, as if he had met a genius, and talked endlessly about her spirituality.
She knew that he had finally found his purpose for the rest of his life.
He pinned his life's hopes on the boy named "Sang Xuanqing".
Later, she learned that Sang Xuanqing was not a teenager, but a girl, but what if a man was a woman?
After telling Mu Ke's past, Mei Ruoling no longer had the cold and arrogant appearance she had before, and she said to Zheng Quqi: "So, I hope you can go to the Jichun Craftsman Union to fulfill his grand wish, which is also his last wish." ”
After listening to Zheng Quqi, he understood why Uncle Mu had always taken such good care of her, and also understood where the occasional sadness and remorse in his eyes came from.
She was about to reply to Mei Ruoling, who was waiting for an answer, but was interrupted by a faint voice behind her that was as cold as a knife.
"Mrs. Mu, you want to coax my wife to fight for fame and fortune for your husband, have you said my opinion?"
Behind, I saw Yu Wensheng coming at some point, he walked over and stopped at Zheng Quqi's side, but he didn't even bother to give Mei Ruoling a subtle expression.
Zheng Quqi looked at him with four eyes, and in the next second, it was directly a bright smile attack.
"Why are you here?"
Yu Wensheng's originally gloomy expression was made a little difficult to maintain by her smile, and he glanced at it and fell into the air.
Mei Ruoleng saw Yu Wensheng, her eyes were like being pricked by needles, and she constricted, in today's world, there are few people who are fearless and fearless Yu Wensheng.
"General, this matter has nothing to do with you, as long as Sang Xuanqing agrees." She said toughly.
Yu Wensheng glanced at her, and a faint smile of mockery overflowed from his throat: "She is my wife, who are you?" ”
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the words of the two was getting stronger and stronger, Zheng Quqi interjected loudly at this time, and directly raised his hand and asked: "I just want to ask, is this Jichun Craftsman Association not limited to men and women, men and women can participate?" ”
Yu Wensheng looked at her, and Mei Ruoling paused, as if recalling its rules: "I haven't heard that women are not allowed to participate, but since its establishment, everyone has defaulted to the ...... of 100 workers as men."
If there is no explicit rule - "Then it will be no problem, I promise." Zheng Quqi made the final decision.
Mei Ruoling subconsciously glanced at Yu Wensheng, but unfortunately the other party was wearing a mask and his expression was unpredictable, so that she couldn't see anything, and then she asked Zheng Quqi solemnly: "Have you really thought it through?" ”
Zheng Quqi nodded: "Well, I originally planned to participate, I heard that the prize money is particularly generous, and now there is even more reason to participate, Uncle Mu's last wish, I want to complete it for him, although I don't necessarily have the ability to do it for him, but I will do my best." ”
Hearing her say this, Mei Ruoling was really moved, and it was rare to squeeze out a smile on her cold and arrogant face: "Okay, good, it's really the person he likes." ”
After Mei Ruoling finished speaking, she raised her chin again and said, "Every time I talk to someone, your Uncle Mu never dares to oppose it, and your family's family style still needs to be rectified." ”
"I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away, and the speed of the wind was somewhat like fanning the wind and lighting the fire, afraid of being caught and settling accounts and running for her life.
Leaving Zheng Quqi alone, he smiled awkwardly and faced Yu Wensheng's "storm" next.
