Today's dinner was at Meng Jiangxi's house, and it was the fish noodle soup that Meng Jiangxi had longed for for a long time.

After eating, Meng Li helped Meng Rou, who had inconvenient legs and feet, to the latter's boudoir.

Before last year, Meng Jiangxi's partial house was built, and it didn't take long for Meng Rou to move over, except for some trouble in and out, everything else was not bad.

Meng Rou's boudoir is simply and warmly furnished, in addition to some commonly used living supplies, there is also a row of root carvings of different shapes on the cabinet on the left side of the door.

When Meng Li saw Gendiao, his expression suddenly became complicated.

Two years ago, it was precisely because of her refusal that Meng Rou placed her affection on the root carving, at first just to vent her anger with a carving knife, after a long time, she really practiced a strong technique, and the carved works are all vivid.

Although Meng Rou's root carving works are not confined to one style, there are all kinds of landscapes and animals, but the most are still figure carvings, among which Meng Li's carvings are the most, about half.

Although it was not the first time he had seen these root carvings, Meng Li still felt a little nervous and embarrassed, and Meng Rou seemed much more generous in comparison.

"Brother Meng Li, sit down!"

Seeing that Meng Li was a little embarrassed, she pointed to the chair next to her and smiled.

Meng Li sat down awkwardly, looked at Meng Rou's injured foot, and asked, "Is your foot okay?"

Meng Rou reluctantly smiled: "A little injury, it's not in the way, it's my father who made a big fuss." ”

"Show me!" Meng Li stood up with a serious expression, squatted in front of Meng Rou, and gently lifted her trouser legs.

The next moment, Meng Li was stunned when he saw Meng Li under his trouser leg. Right at her ankle, a red, swollen contusion bulged out high, like a small fist.

"How can it be so serious?" Meng Li held Meng Rou's feet, and was at a loss for a while.

Seeing Meng Li's worried expression, Meng Rou felt a sour feeling in her heart, put down her trouser leg in a panic, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm really fine." ”

As he spoke, his eyes flushed a little red.

How can this aggrieved look be fine!

Meng Li was furious, held Meng Rou's shoulders and said, "No one bullied you, tell me who did it, I want to avenge you." ”

Meng Rou shed tears and sobbed: "Forget it, Brother Meng Li, we are just ordinary people, we can't fight them." ”

Meng Li grasped the point.

"Who are they? Meng Xi?"

Meng Rou hurriedly waved her hand and said in a panic: "No, this matter has nothing to do with Meng Xi." ”

"Who else has nothing to do with him? This guy has always looked at me unpleasantly, and I don't want to deal with him for the sake of his brain disease. I can't imagine that he is bullying you now, see if I don't settle accounts with him. ”

After that, he stood up and went to Meng Xi to settle accounts.

Meng Rou was afraid that he would really go, so she hurriedly explained: "Brother Meng Li, don't go, my injury was actually caused by Meng Qian, and it really has nothing to do with Meng Xi." ”

"Meng Qian, hasn't he been pursuing you, how could he hurt you?" Meng Li wondered.

Meng Qian, this guy, is also a good fate. Because of Meng Huaiyang's death, he had no choice but to stay in Mengjia Village, and after learning martial arts with everyone, he was lucky enough to build a foundation and became one of the very few martial artists in the village. Now he is about to practice to the realm of the second forging.

Meng Rou smiled bitterly: "Although he likes me, I haven't paid attention to him, and because of this, he is annoyed and angry." ”

The strength of the martial artist is high, far from being comparable to ordinary people, and the reason why Meng Rou didn't dare to tell Meng Li was because he was afraid that he would suffer.

But now, she had to say that it was obviously more unwise to find Meng Xi than the trouble he had to find Meng Qian.

Not long ago, she had just heard that Meng Xi was now a martial artist who had broken through to the fourth forging, and his strength was ridiculously strong.

It's much better to be beaten by Meng Qian than to be beaten by Meng Xi!

said everything, Meng Rou simply stopped hiding it and told the details of the matter.

It turned out that when Meng Rou went out to dig the roots of the tree yesterday, she met Meng Qian, who talked to her, she ignored it, and was kicked by Meng Qian, who was annoyed and angry. It is worth mentioning that there is also a woman named Meng Ling in the middle of this.

"Apart from Meng Qian and Meng Ling, is there anyone else?" Meng Li's eyes were full of coldness, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Meng Rou shook her head and said, "No." ”

"I see, you have a good rest. Meng Li said softly from his mouth, turned around and walked outside.

Meng Rou knew what he was going to do, opened her mouth, and finally gave up her plan to stop him. For some reason, Meng Li at this moment gave her an incomparably strong sense of security.

After saying goodbye to Meng Jiangxi's family, Meng Li returned to his home, opened the box, and took out the ghost mask that he had used two years ago.

This mask, which depicts the god of the priesthood, was something he brought back when he first went to the town of Leaning Water, and now that he thinks about it, he feels a lot of emotion.

Meng Li put the mask on his face and stopped when he was about to go out.

"No, you can't just let him go. ”

Meng Li hesitated for a moment, then put the mask back down. Meng Qian, a bastard, may feel that he has successfully hugged Meng Xi's thigh, coupled with the success of building the foundation half a year ago, but he has become more and more arrogant recently, if he doesn't let him know why he was beaten, even if he beats him, he can't get out of the evil breath in his heart.

Revenge is not overnight, and the face must be slapped in the face, not only to let him know that it hurts, but also to let him know why it hurts.

With a decision in his heart, Meng Li immediately acted and went straight to where Meng Qian lived.

Because he was taken in by the old village chief, the place where Meng Qian lived was next door to the old village chief's house, which was a long-vacant house, which was said to be used by the old village chief to take Meng Xi's daughter-in-law.

Meng Li came to Meng Qian's door and kicked in directly, the room was pitch black, and there was no figure in half.

"Bastard, don't stay at home at this time, what are you running around!"

Xingchong rushed into the door, Xingchong rushed out of the door, kicked and scolded again, this operation made a half-grown child who happened to pass by stunned.

Meng Li saw the half-grown child, walked over and asked, "Little ghost, have you seen Meng Qian?"

The child was only five or six years old, and he looked big with a sugar gourd in his mouth, and when he heard Meng Li's question, he really pointed in a direction.

"That's it, it's at Meng Laoer's house!"

"In Meng Laoer's, okay, save me another trip. ”

Meng Li smiled coldly, rewarded the little boy with two copper coins, and then walked towards Meng Lao'er's house.

Meng Laoer's original name Meng Li doesn't remember, but he only knows that he is the second in their family, so he is called Meng Laoer.

When Meng Li heard Meng Laoer's name, the reason why he sneered was because Meng Ling, who had bullied Meng Rou with Meng Qian before, was Meng Laoer's only daughter.

Meng Lao Er is almost fifty this year, and he is a daughter when he is old, and he is especially fond of this only daughter. It's almost time to be spoiled.

Meng Lao Er is a big family in Mengjia Village, earlier, like the people in the village, they all made a living from fishing, and then they were dissatisfied with the status quo and started a broker business of pouring fish and selling fish.

Eighty percent of the fish that Meng Jiangxi used to catch had to be handed over to Meng Lao Er to sell on his behalf, but after Meng Li began to fish with him, this situation has changed.

After all, Meng Jiangxi catches a lot of fish, and after having Meng Li's helper, he would rather run more roads and sell them to the water town, which accumulates over time, but it is a lot of money.

For this reason, Meng Lao Er complained a lot, but because of Meng Jiangxi's prestige in the local area, he dared not speak out. But even so, there are still many stumbling blocks behind them. Meng Ling's attitude towards Meng Rou came from this.

When approaching Meng Laoer's house, Meng Li smelled the aroma of stewed meat, and when he got closer, it was the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

Across the courtyard, Meng Li looked at the night fire in the room, and his heart moved, and he did not immediately break into the door, but stood in front of the door and observed the situation in the house.

There were not many people in the room, except for Meng Lao's second father and daughter, only Meng Qian was present as a guest.

Meng Lao Er and Meng Qian sat opposite each other, while Meng Ling sat next to Meng Qian, holding the latter's thick arms, with the shy posture of a happy little woman.

Meng Qian has been practicing martial arts in the past two years, but he can also see a hard work, not to mention other aspects, just from his much stronger body, it can be seen that he usually sweats a lot.

Meng Lao Er looked at Meng Qian, just like an old man looking at his son-in-law, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and when he saw the last joy, he actually had a drink.

Putting down the wine glass, Meng Lao Er stretched out his hand to wipe it on his mouth, and laughed heartily: "Happy! I can sit with Meng Qianxian's nephew today, I, Meng Lao Er, am really fortunate in my third life, but it's a pity that my nephew is still young and can't have a drink with me." ”

Meng Qian is the same as Meng Li, he is only fourteen years old after the New Year, although there is no law that minors are not allowed to drink alcohol in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but everyone regards it as an invisible agreement, and they all know each other.

Meng Qian picked up the empty cup in front of him, poured a glass of water into it, and said proudly: "It is indeed a great blessing in life to be able to sit with the second uncle today, I will toast you with water instead of wine." ”

What's this? Business blowing each other? How is it a great blessing?

Meng Li listened to it funny outside, didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

The atmosphere of the three people in the room was just right, and when they heard this strange sound, their expressions immediately changed.

Meng Qian got up and looked out of the door, and shouted, "Who is hiding outside the door?"

Meng Li pushed open the door, walked in generously, and said to Meng Qian, who was angry in the room: "You Meng Fatty, you have already asked you to read more books, is this how you use your head and tail? Can't you see that I am listening to your conversation openly?"
