Chapter Ninety-Six: The Man Who Was

Zhuang Feng, Shen Xin and Wu Biao were drinking and chatting with each other, talking about some boring saltiness in the past two years, and it was a night of hangover;

When Zhuang Feng woke up, he still had some headaches there, because Zhuang Feng's current health condition was not allowed to drink, but this brother reunited, Zhuang Feng didn't expect this stubble, and drank happily there;

Pain is followed by pain;

Originally, in terms of so-called good wine like Ning Su, there would be no headache after a hangover, but Zhuang Feng was in pain there;

When I woke up, I felt that my head was about to crack, and I lamented the uselessness of my more than 100 catties alone, and at the same time I was used to burning cigarettes;

Zhuang Feng lit a cigarette and took a few deep breaths, feeling better, and only then did he notice where he was;

Looking at the familiar things in the room, Zhuang Feng knew that this was the place where he used to live in the Mofu; as for why he was here, this martial arts standard had returned, so naturally he also brought people back, and he had someone to sort out these things;

Zhuang Feng looked at the familiar room, and the cigarette was silently lit, as if he was a little immersed in memory, until the cigarette butt burned his fingers, and then he reacted;

Zhuang Feng, who reacted, reluctantly put on a self-deprecating smile with the others, and then got up to wash;

After taking care of himself, Zhuang Feng was ready to go out, but when he opened the door, he saw Xu Wei and Yang Lin waiting outside the door;

Zhuang Feng looked at Xu Wei Yang Lin waiting outside the door, and knew that Xu Wei Yang Lin was doing his own work, they couldn't be as casual as Zhuang Feng, this far away desert, Zhuang Feng's safety was the most important;

"Weizi, Linzi;" Zhuang Feng looked at Xu Wei and Yang Lin, and greeted there;

"Headache?" Xu Wei looked at Zhuang Feng and asked with traces of a hangover;

"It's like this every time, annoying;" Zhuang Feng said casually;

"I'm going to get some decanting soup;" Yang Lin said to the side, and after speaking, he was ready to leave;

"Forget it, Master Wu, have they gotten up?" Zhuang Feng stopped Yang Lin and asked casually;

"In the Flower Hall;" replied Yang Lin;

Zhuang Feng nodded, and then walked to the flower hall, Xu Wei and Yang Lin naturally followed;

Zhuang Feng arrived at the flower hall and watched Wu Biao and Shen Xin chatting with each other;

"Shen Dashao, you haven't left yet;" Zhuang Feng's first sentence made people a little speechless;

"You just want me to go so much?" Shen Xin replied with some unhappiness;

"Hurry up and get out;" Zhuang Feng looked unceremonious;

"Then I'm not leaving, what's the matter?" Shen Xin said in a choked voice;

Wu Biao smiled and looked at Zhuang Feng and Shen Xin arguing with each other, this feeling was quite good;

"I'm dying of headaches, get some soup to eat;" Zhuang Feng glanced at Shen Xin and said naturally;

After Zhuang Feng said this, Wu Biao made a gesture with there, and then the guards reacted and left;

"Xiao Zhuang, I remember that you have a good amount of wine;" Wu Biao asked there;

Last night, this Zhuang Feng was drunk there, no matter how rare and precious this Ning Su is, it is just fruit wine, and its alcohol concentration is not too high, with the amount of wine before Zhuang Feng, this wine will not be drunk, but Zhuang Feng last night was really drunk;

Wu Biao also suspected that Zhuang Feng was pretending to be crazy there, and took advantage of the strength of the wine to hang Zhuang Feng on the poplar tree in the courtyard, but Zhuang Feng did not react, so Wu Biao knew that Zhuang Feng was really drunk, otherwise, with Zhuang Feng's character, he would hang him on the poplar tree, and it would definitely make a fuss;

From this incident, Wu Biao naturally thought of the difference between Zhuang Feng and the previous one; this little wine can make Zhuang Feng drunk, and Zhuang Feng's body has some problems;

"It's old;" Zhuang Feng casually responded to Wu Biao's words;

"Fuck off;" Wu Biao said unceremoniously;

"The doctor said I can't drink alcohol now, and you should have known the reason the last time I came;" Zhuang Feng said casually;

Looking at Zhuang Feng's casual appearance, Wu Biao nodded there, and at the same time, the maid also came in with a decanting soup, so Wu Biao didn't say anything more;

Zhuang Feng naturally took the decanting soup, poured it down with the same breath, and then breathed a long sigh of relief;

Zhuang Feng drank the sobering soup, lit a cigarette with the one he was used to, and then said, "Brother Wu, are you ready for the money?"

"Early in the morning, the opening is money, too vulgar and too vulgar;" Shen Xin joked with the side;

"I'm a layman;" Zhuang Feng said casually;

Wu Biao watched Zhuang Feng and Shen Xin arguing there, and just smiled, and at the same time held a check and put it on the table;

Zhuang Feng didn't touch the check on the table, but smiled and said, "Let Chen Ribai come over;"

After Zhuang Feng's words were finished, there were guards who acted, but in a moment, Chen Ribai arrived with the guards;

"Brother Tiger, Master Wu, Master Xin;" Chen Ribai greeted him cautiously when he arrived;

There was something to do, so this martial standard did not let Chen Ribai get out of the house directly, but let Chen Ribai and his people squeeze together in the courtyard for one night;

"Chen Ribai, take those people of yours back to Huzhou, and hand over the matter within a month;" Zhuang Feng looked at Chen Ribai and said there;

Looking at Zhuang Feng's casual words, Chen Ribai was a little excited in his heart, and at the same time sighed that this Mofu was different, everything he said was done immediately, and he would not have dragged it out there;

Chen Ribai thought about it, and also forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart, and said there: "Yes, it must be done;"

Zhuang Feng nodded, and then Wu Biao gestured there, and immediately a guard walked into the front hall, picked up the check on the table, and handed it to Chen Ribai;

Chen Ribai took the check, looked at the numbers on it, and was quite agitated there;

In terms of Chen Ribai, who is barely a son of the Reclamation Corps of three generations of officials, although the life is also considered rich, but it is compared to the common people, as far as Chen Ribai himself is concerned, he has not had such a large amount of money in his hands;

And the funds in this hand also mean that he Chen Ribai will no longer be an insignificant idler in the family from today onwards, and from today onwards, he Chen Ribai is also on an equal footing with his eldest brother.

"Go ahead;" Zhuang Feng understood the situation of people like Chen Ribai, but he didn't say anything, and let Chen Ribai leave after this thing was done;

With Zhuang Feng's words, Chen Ribai also suppressed the excitement in his heart and said respectfully: "Humble and retreat;"

After saying that, Chen Ribai didn't stop any longer, and left with the people who took him there under the guidance of the guards;

After Chen Ribai left, Zhuang Feng lit a cigarette with the habit there, and then said loudly: "How much time does it take to go back?"

Shen Xin looked at Zhuang Feng, knowing that this was asking him, and he also understood what it meant, this Zhuang Feng was asking him how long it would take for Shen Xin to return to the family after returning to Jindu, and then mobilizing the family power to do something to Yanzhou Haozhou;

Shen Xin continued, and naturally said there: "Two or three months;"

"Then I'll set a time for the September Festival;" Zhuang Feng said calmly;

"The September Festival, the autumn hunting festival of the Zhuhu tribe, this is a good time;" Wu Biao also interjected beside him;

In order to meet the needs of unification, the Jinguo official does not allow civilians to gather, especially in the special situation of Huzhou, which does not allow the tribes to gather together, and the traditional festival of autumn hunting of the tribes in the September Festival is also the only festival allowed by the Jinguo official to allow the tribes to gather;

Zhuang Feng's plan is to make the tribes start to make trouble, and then roll out the plan to do the power of Huangzhou Yanzhou Haozhou in Huzhou, and at the same time recapture Huzhou City;

With Wu Biao's approval, Zhuang Feng also nodded, and then said, "Wu Ye will work hard for you in the next time;"

Wu Biao smiled and didn't speak, Zhuang Feng obviously wanted to be the boss of the feet, and let Wu Biao do those complicated affairs to mobilize forces;

Zhuang Feng looked at Wu Biao, and also knew Wu Biao's character, which seemed to be a few words, but there was no doubt about this ability;

Shen Xin listened to Zhuang Feng talking about business, and stopped laughing there, and said quite seriously: "Then I'll go home;"

Zhuang Feng nodded, stopped laughing, and said quite seriously: "Take care;"

"Take care;" Wu Biao said;

After speaking, Shen Xin stood up with there, then looked at Zhuang Feng and Shen Xin, and said with some reluctance: "I will come back;"

"Waiting for you;" Zhuang Feng also said with some reluctance;

"Bring back a few jars of good wine from Jindu;" This sounds like a joke, but this Wu Specimen is not the person who likes to joke, and saying this at this time also means that Wu Biao is reluctant;

Shen Xin listened to Wu Biao's words, and there was a smile from the heart, after many years of getting along, Shen Xin had already integrated into this family, and was a little speechless there, and when his eyes were a little blurry, before he didn't have cat urine, he turned around and walked away with there;

Zhuang Feng and Wu Biao looked at the back of Shen Xin leaving, and also watched Shen Xin gesture there, and the meaning of this gesture is now probably only understood by Zhuang Feng and Wu Biao;

Shen Xin left, and Zhuang Feng also retracted his thoughts, and looked at Wu Biao and said, "I'll go out for a walk;"

Wu Biao didn't ask Zhuang Feng where to go shopping, but just nodded there;

Looking at Wu Biao's reaction, Zhuang Feng didn't say anything more, just got up there, greeted Xu Wei and Yang Lin, and left there quite chicly;

Wu Biao watched Zhuang Feng leave, smiled there, and then went to do his own thing, now this Zhuang Feng has a plan, but it takes time and energy to implement it, and this is two or three months, and this time has to be tightened;

Zhuang Feng took Xu Wei and Yang Lin out of Mofu and came to the parking lot; Yang Lin was used to going to the driving position, but at this time, Zhuang Feng suddenly said: "I'll come;"

Yang Lin listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and naturally got out of the way there, and then drove by Zhuang Feng;

Zhuang Feng drove the car in the direction of Huzhou, and after a few hours of travel, he arrived at a windproof poplar forest, and then Zhuang Feng stopped the car;

Zhuang Feng got out of the car, lit a cigarette habitually, and looked at the large poplar forest there;

This poplar forest looks very dense, and there are some windy and undulating scenery when the summer flowers blow through here;

Zhuang Feng lit a cigarette, as if he remembered something, took out the phone with it, and then skillfully entered the number, waiting for the other party to answer;

At the time of the change, the phone was connected, and Zhuang Feng said there: "I've arrived;"

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Feng hung up the phone directly, and continued to burn a cigarette there, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the poplar forest in summer;

Not long after, a sedan truck marked with the logo of the forest ranger appeared in the poplar forest and drove straight to the front of Zhuang Feng;

For the sudden appearance of the forest rangers, Xu Wei and Yang Lin subconsciously put their hands on the weapon, but they did not pull it out directly;

"It's okay, relax, don't waste such a great view;" Zhuang Feng seemed to notice Xu Wei Yang Lin's movements, and said casually there;

As soon as Zhuang Feng said this, the people in the sedan also opened the door there, and then watched a woman in a forest ranger uniform appear;

The uniforms of the forest rangers, medium build, look about thirty years old, a typical life in the desert that has been sharpened by the wind and sand, but the face is a little sad;

Zhuang Feng looked at the woman in front of him, smiled there, and then said in a rather affectionate but old-fashioned voice: "Ah Yu, are you okay?"

The woman who was called Ah Yu by Zhuang Feng, whose real name is Xia Yu, used to be Zhuang Feng's personal maid;

Xia Yu also has a twin sister Xia Xue, both of whom are Zhuang Feng's personal maids, and they are also the people who have followed Zhuang Feng for the longest time, that is still from Zhuang Feng into Zhuang's compound, this Xia Xue and Xia Yu The two sisters became Zhuang Feng's personal maids;

More than ten years ago, when Zhuang Feng came to this desert to help Qin Dongqin quell the civil strife of the Qin family, Zhuang Feng knew the situation of the Qin family, so when he came to this desert, he did not bring three or two kittens like now, Zhuang Feng at that time came with a fairly strong armed guard, and the Xia Xue and Xia Yu sisters, who were Zhuang Feng's personal maids, were naturally also accompanied;

That is, after the battle of the Qin family's civil strife, Xia Xue died for Zhuang Feng's safety;

In the Zhuang family, the personal maids of Zhuang Feng's young master identity are not only as simple as being responsible for Zhuang Feng's daily life, they also have to have the corresponding force and wisdom with the guards, and because of this, in the battle of the year, this summer snow and summer rain also played a great role;

Later, Xia Xue died, and the civil strife of the Qin family subsided, and Xia Yu proposed to Zhuang Feng that he wanted to stay in the desert because he wanted to accompany Xia Xue;

In addition to being sad about this, Zhuang Feng also thought about Xia Xue being buried in another country, so he naturally agreed;

Because Xia Xue likes this poplar forest, after Xia Xue died, Xia Yu buried Xia Xue on the edge of this poplar forest, and then Xia Yu himself did the forest ranger team of this poplar forest to prevent the desert wind and sand, and has been accompanying Xia Xue to his eyes;

Xia Yu looked at Zhuang Feng's familiar appearance, and he couldn't help but have some red eyes there;

For Xia Yu, she and Zhuang Feng have long been relatives by blood;

Xia Xue Xia Yu's twin sisters are different from other people in the Zhuang compound, such as Xu Wei and Yang Lin, these guards are all beggars picked up from the street, and they are also a few years old when they arrive at the Zhuang compound, but this Xia Xue Xia Yu arrived at the Zhuang compound when she was a baby;

According to Mr. Zhuang, Xia Xue and Xia Yu belonged to their parents who gave birth to several daughters, and then wanted a boy, but it turned out to be a girl, and they were twins and two girls;

For this reason, Xia Xue Xia Yu's parents disappeared after giving birth to the sisters in the hospital, and the sisters naturally belonged to the abandoned babies abandoned by their parents in the hospital;

After being abandoned, and then being sold by the medical staff in the hospital, this kind of thing may not be done humanely, but this is a fact; as far as Zhuang Feng knows, not to mention such abandoned babies, even if the babies born in the hospital with parents are secretly sold by the medical staff;

Xia Xue and Xia Yu, the twin baby girls who were sold by medical staff, let the people below find such a pair of baby girls in Zhuang's operation against human traffickers, and then brought them back to Zhuang's compound, and Mr. Zhuang naturally kept the baby girls and named them Xia Xue Xia Yu;

As for why the old man Zhuang named the baby girl Xia Xue Xia Yu, according to the old man Zhuang, they came to the Zhuang compound in the summer, and according to the traffickers, the baby girl was still an abandoned baby, and then the old man lamented the unfair fate there, so that such a lovely baby girl experienced such a tragic experience, which can be described as wind and rain, winter snow like a curtain, and there was no day of light in this birth;

Then Xia Xue and Xia Yu grew up in the Zhuang compound, until Zhuang Feng came to the Zhuang compound;

At that time, Zhuang Feng was too gloomy, always alone, and there was no smile, but the two sisters of Xia Xue and Xia Yu had a cheerful personality, always talking and laughing;

So the old man Zhuang decided to let this cheerful sister like Xia Xue and Xia Yu follow Zhuang Feng, in order to influence Zhuang Feng, let Zhuang Feng also be cheerful, don't have a gloomy face all day long with a young age, Zhuang Feng was gloomy at that time, even Old Man Zhuang looked a little frightened, let alone other people;

Just like Zhuang Feng's brothers and sisters, at that time, they didn't dare to get close to Zhuang Feng, as long as they looked at Zhuang Feng's gloomy dead face, they were inexplicably a little frightened there;

In fact, the first to approach Zhuang Feng were the Xia Xue and Xia Yu sisters, and Zhuang Feng's later gloom was also influenced by the Xia Xue and Xia Yu sisters;

It is for this reason that the relationship between Xia Xue and Xia Yu sisters and Zhuang Feng is naturally close, and there is no blood in that relationship, but it is better than blood connection;

"Xiaoqiu;" Xia Yu choked up and made some muffled sounds;

Regarding Zhuang Feng's name of Xiaoqiu, this secret that only belongs to Xia Xue and Xia Yu, no one knows why Zhuang Feng asked Xia Xue Xia Yu to call him like this, Xia Xue Xia Yu knows the reason, but he won't say it, and Zhuang Feng himself won't say it;

Zhuang Feng looked at Xia Yu's pear blossom with rain, and couldn't help but make his eyes a little blurry, but he didn't say anything, just hugged Xia Yu into his arms;

Xu Wei and Yang Shuang watched Zhuang Feng hug Xia Yu into his arms, and he was also a little sour there;

Xia Xue Xia Yu, who is the personal maid of Zhuang Feng, the young master, still has a very high status in the Zhuang family's compound, especially Zhuang Feng, the young master's love for Xia Xue and Xia Yu, which is not regarded as a maid but a little sister at all, which makes Xu Wei and Yang Lin and their guards very respectful to Xia Xue and Xia Yu;

Especially after Xia Xue and Xia Yu, Zhuang Feng did not have a new personal maid, and let a big man like Xu Wei and Yang Lin follow him all day long, then Xu Wei and Yang Lin understood the emotional involvement between Zhuang Feng and Xia Yu;

When Xia Yu got out of the car just now, Xu Wei Yang Lin was stunned there, and he thought of a lot inexplicably; there was no Xu Wei Yang Lin in this desert back then, but they knew about Xia Yu and Xia Xue, and naturally understood Xia Yu's mood when he saw Zhuang Feng again after more than ten years;

Xu Wei and Yang Lin didn't say anything about this, just stood quietly on the side and watched, and their eyes were also a little red;

After a long time, Zhuang Feng let go of Xia Yu and wiped it on his face casually, as if to wipe away some traces of water stains on his face;

Then Zhuang Feng said there: "Eating sand in the desert, looking at your appearance, it's a little rough;"

Listening to Zhuang Feng's joking words, Xia Yu also wiped away the tears on his face with him, and said at the same time: "Who said that?"

"That's right, isn't that what I just said?" Zhuang Feng joked there;

Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Xia Yu also found that familiar feeling, and reluctantly had a smile with him;

"Yes, it's good to laugh, you know, I like to see you laugh;" Zhuang Feng continued as if jokingly;

"Don't change your dead nature, be careful young lady......" Xia Yu said habitually, but when he said this, he couldn't go on;

With Xia Yu's words, Zhuang Feng also fell into silence;

Seeing that Zhuang Feng and Xia Yu fell into silence, Xu Wei broke the silence and said, "Sister Ayu, I'm Xu Wei, do you remember?"

Following Xu Wei's words, Yang Lin also said there: "I'm Yang Lin, the one who is always asked why you don't speak, remember?"

Xu Wei Yang Lin broke the silence, Xia Yu also reacted there, looked at Xu Wei Yang Lin and said: "Wei Zilinzi, you are right, sister is in the prime of her youth, how can you not remember, I don't have the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease;"

Listening to Xia Yu's words, Xu Wei and Yang Lin also laughed there;

With Xu Wei Yang Lin's smile, Xia Yu also smiled there, and then hugged Xu Wei Yang Lin and there, and separated after a while;

"Well, Sister Ayu's figure is fat, not as soft as before;" After parting, Xu Wei said jokingly to the other place;

With Xu Wei's words, Xia Yu was accustomed to flying up and kicking over, Xu Wei was also used to getting out of the way, and Yang Lin was still used to looking at the lively appearance, smiling and not speaking;

Zhuang Feng looked at this familiar person, and there was also a sincere smile there, as if nothing had changed;
