Chapter 99: The Sorrowful Fool (1)
Today's Wuling clan is already a big clan of the demon clan, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, ruling hundreds of small tribes, and the Wuling City, where the palace is located, has also become the center of the region.
On the streets of the city, shops are lined up one after another, shop flags are displayed high, and there is a rush of traffic one after another, which is full of excitement.
Walking on the bustling street, it is easy to find the blacksmith shop of the same people.
In the blacksmith shop, a strong, shirtless man was sweating like rain and "clanging" iron, and a thin man in tattered clothes and unkempt hair was bending over and stumbling in with both hands carrying a heavy charcoal basket.
The lonely crane saw the strong man, holding the iron tongs with a red head in his hand, pulled his lips and smiled evilly, turned around and used the iron tongs to burn the thin man's buttocks.
"Wow ......", the thin man threw down the basket, touched the hot buttocks, and jumped high and screamed.
Standing in the midst of the crowd of fingers, Lone Minghe clenched his fists angrily.
When a girl heard the sound, she lifted the curtain and ran into the shop through the back door, checked the thin man who was burned, glared at the strong man, and shouted: "Ah Meng, you bastard, why are you a hot fool again?"
The strong man named Ah Meng slanted a pair of big cloudy and protruding eyes, and said disdainfully: "Hey! Fangfang, a fool, he is blind, and he bumped into me, how can you rely on me?"
The girl supported the stupid man who was crying in pain, her eyes were red, and she pointed at Ah Meng and shouted, "You are talking nonsense, you did it on purpose, what do you want to do?"
Ah Meng looked like a scoundrel who was not beaten, and asked unreasonably: "Fangfang, what do ......I want to do?" I don't know, why bother pretending to be confused, and I don't know! Besides, who can testify...... Did I do it on purpose? He did it himself, bah, he deserved it!".
"You scoundrel!"
With a dark face, the lone crane walked to the front of the shop, pointed at Ah Meng, and said, "I can testify! He did it on purpose."
Everyone's eyes looked at the lonely crane in unison, Ah Meng was stunned, threw down the iron tongs with a "bang", walked out of the shop, glared at the lonely crane, and scolded, "Hey! You, where did you come from? , as he spoke, a fist slammed into the door of the lonely crane.
The lone crane did not dodge, when the fist was windy, less than half a foot from the tip of the nose, he grabbed Ah Meng's wrist and twisted it, Ah Meng screamed "Ah!", "poof" fell to the ground, and the lone crane stepped on Ah Meng, who was howling like a pig.
"Uh......"
"Huh?......"
Everyone was stunned, and for a moment, they didn't see how to move their hands? The bullying Ah Meng had been trampled under the feet of the man in the black cloak.
Fang Fang in the shop hurriedly ran out, her eyes flashed, she looked at the lonely crane in a daze, and confirmed, "Uncle, is it you......?" I'm Fangfang."
Lone Minghe turned his head to look at the girl in front of him, and he also recognized it, and said busily: "Oh, it's Fangfang, you have grown up a lot, and you don't recognize it at all."
Lone Minghe turned his head and looked at the shop again, looking at the fool who was full of tears, Baba looked back at his fool, feeling very much like Lu Xiaofeng, but his unkempt hair covered most of his face, and he really didn't dare to confirm it, so he asked Fangfang, "Who is this?"
"Uncle, he's a freshman!"
"Freshman, sure enough, it is the prince of the White Deer Clan who I rescued, Lu Xiaofeng, the elder brother of Xiao Wu Xiaozhu, this ...... How could it be? How did he become a stupid, dirty idiot? That used to be ...... But, a spotless beautiful boy."
Gu Minghe thought in his heart, there was nowhere to vent his grief and anger, he had a dark face, raised his legs, and kicked Ah Meng away.
Ah Meng screamed and was kicked away, knocked down a stall, and rolled on the ground and howled while holding the kicked rib fan.
Lone Minghe hurriedly walked into the shop, brushed the fool's unkempt hair with both hands and looked at it carefully, sure enough, it was Lu Xiaofeng he rescued, and Lone Minghe was sad in his heart.
The fool seemed to have forgotten the wound on his body, biting a black dirty finger, and staring at the lonely crane in a daze, and suddenly seemed to remember something...... Uncle".
The fool shed tears as he shouted, and the tears washed out two clean tear stains on the black face that was smeared.
"Uncle Lone, the fool also recognizes you, let's go, let's sit at home"
Fangfang's eyes were also moist, and she supported the fool and guided the lonely crane to the backyard together.
Ah Meng, who was kicked away, rolled on the ground in pain, and the people around him pointed at him, all of them looked disgusted, they had all seen him bully, and no one was willing to help him.
Ah Meng knew in his heart that he had met a master, and remembered that Fang Fang called that person Uncle Lone, and suddenly realized that the master was actually a lonely crane who entrusted a fool to foster here, and when he came back, he would not have good fruit to eat, Ah Meng was afraid in his heart, and he couldn't care about the pain, so he got up and ran away.
In the dilapidated house where the fool lived, the lonely crane looked around, and saw that it was a firewood room with ventilation on all sides, and a small bed was placed in the corner, and the fool slept on it, and his heart was uncomfortable again, and his face was already displeased.
Gu Minghe stabilized his emotions, asked Fangfang to bring water, and cleaned the fool's whole body, seeing that the fool's body was old and new, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he wanted to kill that Ah Meng immediately.
After scrubbing, Lone Minghe applied medicine to the fool's wound and changed into a clean robe. After grooming and tidying, I looked at the fool again, and I saw some of the graceful and abundant appearance of the white-robed young man back then.
The fool has always been very obedient, holding a worn-out sachet in his hand, letting the lonely crane give him a beating, he has been grinning with a big mouth "hehe" and smirking, and from time to time he muttered chaotically, "Uncle, come back, hey, uncle, come back...... Uncle, hehe......".
Fang Fang shouted outside the door: "Uncle, my father is back and has come out for dinner."
Lone Minghe took the fool's hand and walked out of the room, Fangfang was stunned by the fool's outfit, the fool who was cleaned up was really handsome.
Gu Xin and Gu Minghe, who were entering the hospital, looked at each other from afar, and there was joy in their eyes after a long absence, which was also mixed with emotions such as guilt and doubt.
"Brother, you're finally back! Great, sit down."
"Okay, big brother first, please"
"My brother hasn't been back for more than two hundred years, today, your sister-in-law has prepared some good food and wine, big brother, give my brother a good drink."
"Okay, big brother!"
Gu Xin poured tea for Gu Minghe, and drank together, the two of them each had a confidant about the fool, Gu Xin felt guilty in his heart, Gu Minghe wanted to ask about the fool's situation, but he wanted to say something and stopped, both of them seemed a little cramped and embarrassed, and there was a match to say some common words.
Fang Fangniang knew that Gu Minghe had no family, and only regarded Gu Xin as her eldest brother. Seeing the lonely crane suddenly come back, she quietly entered the house and dressed up, feeling nervous and excited. Nervously, let Gu Minghe see that he has treated a fool badly, and he is a little afraid that he will blame him; what is exciting is that Gu Minghe is her family's god of wealth, and more importantly, Gu Minghe exudes a masculine and heroic spirit, how can her man be better than that? In the face of such a superb and charming man, her heart actually rippled.
In other words, Fang Fangniang has been restless since she was young, and she has a bad reputation early, and then she married a butcher, and her husband was beaten to death on the street.
The lonely crane waved his hand, and the fool who was squatting in front of the door waiting to eat, patted the seat next to him and said, "New student, sit here to eat."
The fool stood up, wrinkled his face, hesitated to walk to the lone crane, stirred his hands, bit his lip, and looked at the whole table of wine and food, his eyes full of greed, but he didn't dare to sit down.
Fang Fangniang, with a thick pink face and a bright red mouth, and a flattering and unnatural embarrassed smile on her face, walked quickly from the door, pressed the fool to sit on the seat, and said coquettishly: "Fool, today, you will sit next to your uncle and eat."
The fool trembled with fright, his face turned pale, he shrunk into a ball, and sat in his seat, not daring to move.
The lonely crane patted the fool's back, comforting, his heart was like a mirror, his sister-in-law must have abused the freshman, and his heart was even more unhappy, his face sank like water, and he corrected the people present: "Oh, he is not called a fool, he has a name, called Xinsheng, in the future, let's call him Xinsheng."
"Oh, yes, yes, it's called a freshman, a freshman, you eat first, sister-in-law and I, and then I'll go serve dinner", Fang Fangniang was bored, and turned around and went out with an embarrassed smile.
"Brother, it's all the eldest brother who is not good, he failed to heal the injury of the newborn, alas! let him be what he is now, he has the trust of the elder brother, big brother, punish yourself with a glass", Gu Xin twisted his eyebrows, and drained the wine with a guilty face.
"Big brother, how can I blame you? The freshman was seriously injured at that time, and there was nothing he could do if he couldn't be cured. When I come back this time, I will take him to see more doctors, the eldest brother takes care of the new students for me, and the younger brother is grateful, and I salute the eldest brother with a cup", after speaking, the brothers clinked glasses and drank it all proudly.
"Dad, today Ah Meng is hot again, let the uncle beat him, and now he hasn't come back", Fangfang said while putting vegetables in the bowl for the fool next to him.
"It should be beaten, the one who received a thousand cuts, if he dares to come back, I have to beat him to death, all day long, I know how to bully fools, oh, no, it's a freshman, I think, there is a big brother, he doesn't dare to come back"
Fang Fangniang glanced at the lonely crane again and again, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, the more she liked it, she was full of kingly spirit, too heroic and too manly! She complained to Ah Meng, and the lone crane was almost set, Fang Fangniang smiled hippiely, and the thick powder on her trembling jujube red face fell off in a slump.
The fool freshman lowered his head deeply, gobbling up the dishes given by the lone crane and Fangfang, his face was full of joy that could not be hidden, he had not eaten much meat for more than two hundred years, and after the wind and clouds, he smiled at the lone crane and said, "It's full."
The lonely crane took out a handkerchief, wiped his mouth for the new students, and said lovingly, "When you are full, go to the yard to play."
The freshman "hehe" smiled and ran away.
Gu Minghe was too lazy to take care of Fang Fangniang, and asked Gu Xin, "Today, who is that black man?"
Gu Xin sighed and said in a deep voice: "His name is Ah Meng, and he used to be a begging foreigner, and when I saw that he had the strength, I took him as an apprentice." Later, I thought...... is just a daughter, and he has no family burden, so he had the idea of recruiting him for the elderly. As a result, he couldn't see that Fangfang was good to the freshmen, and often beat the freshmen. I punished him, and I drove him through a few times, and after a while, he made the same mistake again. Hmph, don't mention him, it's okay to leave, I just think...... I'm sorry for the old brother and the new students".
"I see"
Gu Minghe understood the reason, turned his head to look at the courtyard, Fang Fang, who was playing with the new students after eating, said meaningfully: "I look at Fang Fang, I look very blessed, if the new students are not like this, the two children are very compatible."
The two brothers sighed and drank sullenly.
Fang Fangniang stood up, with a smile on her face and a gourd flower that had been beaten by hail, and kept covering the bowl with vegetables for the lonely crane, and persuaded in a sharp voice, "Big brother, you eat more vegetables, try this lion beast, this is specially reserved for you, a big supplement, sister-in-law two days ago, I dreamed that the big brother came back, you see, it really came true."
Gu Minghe endured the disgust in his heart, and said coldly: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I'm full, don't bother anymore."
Gu Xin felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, and glanced at Fang Fangniang, who was overly enthusiastic and flirtatious, and coughed with his fist gagged "cough, cough" coughing and reminding.
In twenty days, the lonely crane led the new life, went to the famous medical halls that could go to the city, and also went to the demon capital Nine Secluded City, all said that they missed the best time for treatment, and now the new brain, such as the dead wood is dead, it is difficult to reverse, and the medicine and needle can only be used as a dead horse to try the luck of a live horse doctor, unless a miracle happens, it is possible to recover as before.
Although Lone Minghe does not believe in miracles, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will try. He wanted to find that clear and healthy brother for Xiao Wu's little master.
Gu Minghe chose a Deren Medical Center, which has a history of hundreds of years and has an excellent reputation, paid for medicine and acupuncture for a hundred years in advance, and at the same time bought four shops, so that he will have a fixed income every month, which can meet the needs of the new life and follow-up treatment.
In other words, the money of the lone crane was also found in the secret room where Lu Xiaofeng was found, this secret room is the vault of the White Deer clan, which stores a lot of money and treasures.
In the impression of the lonely crane, Lu Xiaofeng is often dressed in a white robe, always neat, clean and spotless, his personality is also elegant and gentle, and the little master only knew naughty when he was a child, and the dirty appearance is completely different, the brother and sister are siblings, but the personality is very different.
The first time Lone Minghe saw Lu Xiaofeng was in the Holy Maiden Temple, and for three thousand years, he was often seen to visit Xiao Wu and the little master. After the youthful Lu Xiaofeng and the little master's personal maid Zhen Keer got along, they came more diligently, and he witnessed the romantic and colorful love of a pair of children.
On the day of the attack on the Holy Maiden's Temple, Lone Minghe and Chenyou fought, Cui'er fled with Xiao Wu and the little master and his whereabouts are unknown, Lone Minghe found every corner, and later found Lu Xiaofeng with a head injury in a secret room in the apse of the White Deer Clan, in order to protect and hide his whereabouts, he gave Lu Xiaofeng a new name, called Xinsheng, and sent it to the same clan, and the blacksmith Gu Xin's family helped to treat and take care of it.
More than 200 years have passed, and when I came back, I saw a fool who only knew how to smirk.
