Volume 1 The Light of Assets Chapter 58 A small life matters
Early the next morning, when Widow Jiao woke up from the ruined temple. I just feel dizzy, and I don't remember anything about what happened yesterday. In a trance, I forgot who I was.
Widow Jiao sat up suddenly, thinking desperately, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't remember. I only remember that I seem to owe my husband and my son a great kindness.
Widow Jiao had a splitting headache when she suddenly remembered that her husband and son had died. He caused them to die. Immediately howled and cried, eager to cry out all the internal organs.
Although Widow Jiao completely forgot who she was, she remembered the death of her husband and children.
From then on, widows knelt down and kowtowed whenever they saw men in their thirties and forties, and infants and young children under the age of two or three.
It is said that after a few decades, the widow of the family came to the end and was dying. I saw a man in his thirties in the ruined temple, and he had to get up and kowtow to him. At the moment when she barely got up, Widow Jiao didn't come up in one breath and passed away.
And Lin Zhanqing and the three got up early in the morning of the next day. After a brief wash and breakfast, I got on my horse and started the day's journey.
Although Shen Rou is the daughter of a wealthy family, she has seen a lot of all kinds of ups and downs since she was a child, even if she has not experienced it personally. Although last night's events were scary, I just slept and was completely fine.
At noon that day, the three of them did not find a town to eat and rest, but found an open suburb. He spread a square cloth and sat on the ground.
Take out the dry food and meat that you bought in advance in the town of Caitian. Buns, pancakes, pies, sugar cakes. Sauce beef, braised mutton, roast chicken, braised duck. A variety of side dishes, as well as fruits. One by one, the small paper bags, although each paper bag is not large, but it has almost put half of the four-foot square cloth.
Shen Rou watched Lin Zhanqing keep taking out the paper bag, which was full of food. His expression changed from curiosity to surprise and amazement. And finally, there was an incredible look. With his mouth slightly open and his eyes stunned, he asked:
"Brother Lin, these ...... All I need is two sugar cakes and a little side dish. ”
Lin Zhanqing smiled and didn't speak.
Dongfang Wan smiled rarely, or said with a playful smile:
"The sister of the Shen family is not worried, let's just eat, no matter how much is left, Senior Brother Lin will solve it. ”
Shen Rou looked at Lin Zhanqing with a surprised face, as if she didn't believe it, turned back to Dongfang Wan and asked:
"Brother Lin is alone, and he wants to eat most of these?"
Dongfang Wan nodded and said:
"Among these male disciples who practice martial arts in Liuyun Mountain, Senior Brother Lin's food is not small. ”
Lin Zhanqing was not embarrassed, and said directly:
"Stop talking, let's eat. After speaking, without waiting for Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou, he took a pancake and picked up a bag of sauced beef. Eat it in a big bite.
Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou were not polite when they saw this, they found what they liked to eat, and enjoyed eating.
Dongfang Wan held a pie in her left hand and picked up some side dishes with chopsticks in her right hand. Also less sauce beef, stewed mutton, roast chicken, braised duck or something. After two pies, I stopped eating. I picked a plow to eat.
Shen Rou was obviously very restrained about eating, so she only took a sugar cake and used chopsticks to pick up some side dishes. A sugar cake is full. I picked an orange and peeled it and ate it.
Only Lin Zhanqing, it seems that the food is endless. Two pancakes, three buns, two pies, two sugar cakes. Along with those sauced beef, braised mutton, roast chicken, braised duck, and those side dishes. I didn't let go at all, and I ate it all clean.
After eating, he picked up an apple and nibbled on it in a big gulp. After nibbling on the apple, I was finally satisfied. Put your hands behind your head and lie on the ground. Exceptional relaxation.
Shen Rou was stunned from the sidelines, and only said one sentence,
"Brother Lin is really capable...... What a appetite, what a blessing. ”
Dongfang Wan continued:
"Senior Brother Lin's meal has always been not small, and today ...... I did eat a little more today. ”
Dongfang Wan's words made herself and Shen Rou laugh together.
Lin Zhanqing was lying relaxed next to him, and the three of them were unusually comfortable and comfortable in this deserted suburban lunch time.
After a short rest, the three of them mounted their horses again and hurried forward.
The town in front is called Shuiting Town, and in the evening, Lin Zhanqing and the three of them rushed to Shuiting Town, and it was not the best to walk into the local family, but it was also the top inn in the whole town.
threw down a piece of silver, asked for two good side rooms, and asked the shopkeeper to order good dishes from the local restaurant to be delivered to the room.
The shopkeeper couldn't close his mouth when he saw this piece of silver, and he was even happier after knowing that Lin Zhanqing and the three of them were only staying for one night. You must know that Shuiting Town is just a small town, and this piece of silver is enough to allow the three of them to stay in the inn for seven or eight days.
Lin Zhanqing and the three of them were just about to eat in the room, but they heard a suona sound, followed by the sound of gongs, cymbals, and sheng. In this case, someone should be doing nothing.
Dongfang Wan gave Lin Zhanqing a look, and Lin Zhanqing went out of the room door without saying a word and found the innkeeper. Only then did I know that a tragic incident had happened in Shuiting Town in the past few days.
There is a family surnamed Zhao in Shuiting Town, a middle-aged couple who have an only son.
This only son's name is Zhao Le, and he is also eighteen years old this year. As a child, he studied for a few years and then went to work as an apprentice in a ready-to-wear shop. He is loyal and kind, and he laughs all day long. The neighbors all had a good impression of him.
But this child has one of the biggest shortcomings, but also the biggest advantages. It's just too serious.
Because he was too serious, he only worked as an apprentice for two years and became a master tailor. Because it is too serious, the clothes made fit and the cut is meticulous. It's also because it's too serious, sometimes it's inevitable to have some arguments with people. It's all in the neighborhood, and everyone doesn't care too much.
But a few days ago. A few outsiders came. I don't know how to quarrel with Zhao Le, and neither side will let anyone until there is a big fight. Zhao Le is young and vigorous, it is the time when his blood is strong, how can he be willing to disperse. Until the other party took out the knife, Zhao Le fell in a pool of blood and was not saved.
And those outsiders have long fled and are nowhere to be found.
When Zhao Le's mother heard the news, she fainted on the spot. When Zhao Le's father saw that his wife and children were dead, he also crashed to death on the old locust tree in the courtyard.
Today is the day of the mourning of the Zhao family. The relatives of the Zhao family and neighbors pooled some money and held the funeral.
The innkeeper shed a few tears as he spoke. Lin Zhanqing couldn't say anything, so he could only pick some good things like people who couldn't come back to life after death, and they must mourn, and said a few words.
When Lin Zhanqing returned to the room, he found that the good dishes on the table had been snatched up by Dongfang Wan Shenrou.
Except for the greens, the best thing is a plate of fried dried shrimp.
Lin Zhanqing was a little stunned and depressed. Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou didn't say a word, just covered their mouths and snickered.
Lin Zhanqing said helplessly,
"If you eat too much at noon, you will inevitably have some bloating. The two heroines are still thoughtful, Lin Zhanqing is very thankful. ”
Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou originally just covered their mouths and snickered, but after hearing this, especially after the word heroine, they couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lin Zhan didn't care about cleaning up, just cleaning up the remaining dishes. After eating, I went back to my room.
Just when the three of them were already asleep, there were several groups of people on the outskirts of Shuiting Town, about thirty people in total. In several different places, fight like a death.
It is not until one side is completely killed that the rest will stop. In a short time, there were more than two dozen corpses in the deserted suburbs. There were only seven or eight people left alive, but these seven or eight people dug pits and buried all these bodies despite their injuries.
Lin Zhanqing and the three of them, who were in their sleep, naturally didn't know that there was danger tonight. I didn't know that the danger had been dealt with.
Of course, such a danger is not a danger at all for Lin Zhanqing and Dongfang Wan.
Just when the fighting in the suburbs was over, there were three figures, sneakily turning around quickly from several places where they were fighting. Sneaky and quick to leave.
Twenty miles away from the wilderness of the battle, there was a ruined temple. The three people who were still fighting just now were all sitting in the ruined temple at this time. In the middle of the night, these three men ran twenty miles with light skills.
These three people are none other than the three people who have lost their hearts and scattered the widow.
The second thin man had palpitations at this time and said:
"This, it's horrible. The people who died were all good players in the rivers and lakes who were not weak in martial arts, and more than 20 people died like this. ”
The third scar-faced man said in a non-angry tone:
"His grandmother's, the man dies for money, and the bird dies for food. But when a person dies, there is nothing. ”
The second thin man completely agreed with the third child's statement, and said:
"It's not his grandmother's, the third child is right!"
The second and third looked at the boss and asked:
"Boss, what about his grandmother's brother?"
The boss black-faced man took a deep breath and said with the same scolding:
"His grandmother's, what should I do if my grandmother's knows what to do?"
The boss black-faced man paused, and then asked the second and third children:
"Otherwise, let's stop doing it? No matter how important the silver is, it is not as important as your own life. ”
The third scarred man hurriedly said:
"Big brother is right. Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood. Whatever grandma's is not grandma's. Our brother withdrew directly. There is a great danger, and his grandmother's has nothing to do with our brothers. ”
The second thin man had a calm face, and said in a weak voice:
"It's too much to go back like this. Otherwise, let's not mix it up first, and just follow it from afar. If there's any danger, let's get out of the way early. How's that going?"
The third scarred man was not happy to say:
"Second brother, it's only been the second day that it's been such a big battle. After that, I was so scared that I couldn't even think about it. There are many dreams in the long night, as long as we withdraw, nothing happens. ”
The boss black-faced man spoke,
"We were in the rivers and lakes, and we didn't tie our heads to the waistband of our trousers that day. I think what the second child said is reasonable, so I will do what the second child says. Third, do you have an opinion?"
The third child was anxious and cried at that time and said:
"Big brother. Small, little life matters!"
The boss only asked coldly:
"Who's Big Brother?"
The third child suddenly lost his temper and said:
"Naturally, big brother is big brother. ”
The boss looked satisfied and said:
"Just do as I say. ”
The second child said a little reluctantly:
"Just do what the eldest brother says. Didn't you do what I said?"
