Chapter 20: The Snitch Red See
At noon, the "Hundred Fish Feast" started on time.
I saw a hundred fat and big fish made into a delicacy and lined up. These fish, some steamed, some boiled, some grilled, are varied, and there are many categories, which makes people dazzled. The delicious smell wafted over and was really mouth-watering.
Everyone gathered around the Long family general, Bai Guang, and Yezi, and pushed them to the center of the square. Behind them was the delicious taste of a hundred fish.
Qianjun whispered in Bai Guang's ear, "Young Master, you can say a few words." The villagers' intentions are to repay you for saving your life that day, they didn't have anything to offer, this 'Hundred Fish Feast' should be their highest sincerity!"
Bai Guang nodded slightly, he looked at the enthusiastic villagers, and his heart was full of emotion. He couldn't remember anything about helping the villagers, but instead saw the villagers treating him as if they were relatives. He didn't know where to start. He looked at the leaves beside him.
Ye Zi was looking at him at this time, his eyes were full of anticipation and happiness. Bai Guang seemed to see the answer, and he knew what he was going to say.
"Dear relatives, not long ago, I was seriously ill, and now I have just recovered from it. Thank you for your hospitality, I can't put it into words, I just want to say that if you have any difficulties in the future, just ask, I will do my best. ”
Warm and cheerful cheers rang out all around.
With the announcement of the Thousand Army, everyone began to revel.
They sang and danced to celebrate the beautiful occasion together.
Bai Guang and Ye Zi sat on the side, watching the joy of everyone, with a relieved smile on their faces, Bai Guang persuaded Ye Zi from time to time to let her go for a jump, Ye Zi always looked at him affectionately and shook his head.
At this time, Bai Guang saw an old man with his head down and telling Qianjun something, sometimes sighing, sometimes frowning.
Ye Zi also saw this scene, he turned his head and saw Bai Guang's puzzled eyes, and she decided to go and find out.
Ye Zi got up and walked towards Qianjun......
In the evening, people came out of the lively atmosphere. They packed up the plates, tables and chairs, and the white light and leaves had already been brought back to the old woman's house by the Long family.
At this time, Bai Guang and Ye Zi were sitting in the courtyard chatting.
"Bai Guang," Ye Zi looked at Bai Guang and asked seriously, "What do you think of this place?"
Bai Guang saw her thoughts, and he didn't break it, but asked rhetorically. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"You just have to answer!" Ye Zi's face became serious.
"Very good! I think this place is very livable, and to be honest, I would love to live here with you for the rest of my life. ”
"What do you really think?"
"Yes!"
"However, Qianjun told me that the Long family will take you back to Iron Dragon Castle in three days!"
Bai Guang looked to the side thoughtfully, and he slowly turned his head and said. "If I go back with them, will you follow me?"
Ye Zi bowed her head and was silent, Bai Guang understood that she only wanted to stay with herself, and did not want to see anyone else. He really couldn't remember what Ye Zi had gone through, and wanted to ask her, but he was afraid that she would remember the unhappy experience.
Ye Zi was silent for a while and said. "You said that I am your wife, and you will protect me with all your strength......"
"Yes!" Bai Guang suddenly took Ye's hand.
Ye Zi blushed and quickly turned his head to the side.
"I don't know what kind of person I used to be, everything I know comes out of your mouths. I still say the same thing, you are so beautiful, you must have made a lot of determination to choose to be my wife, so how could I leave you alone. No matter how hard life is, I want to be with you. ”
Ye Zi turned his head, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said excitedly, "You know, I once thought about death, it was a terrible feeling, my father, my brother, everyone around me died, but I was the only one who lived, it was a kind of torment." But you broke into my life, changed a lot of my minds, and gave me new hope. Then Ye Zi told him in detail what happened when he met Bai Guang, and told him the fact that he was not Bai Guang's wife, and finally said, "You have the right to choose, I accept any result!"
"I don't have to choose! You're my wife. The first person I saw when I woke up was you, so familiar and so reassuring. Bai Guang said with a smile.
Bai Guang said seriously, "Listening to you tell your story, I feel very deeply, you still have me in this world, you are not alone." From now on, you will live happily for me and for us, okay?!"
"Hmm!" Ye Zi looked at Bai Guang's determined eyes, and felt extremely steady in his heart.
"However, I can't think of what you told about the white wolf, and I can't think of it yet......"
"Don't worry. ”
On the one hand, Ye Zi was worried that Bai Guang was too anxious, which would backfire his recovery. On the other hand, the hard-won moment of peace, his recovery, must be running around. His character is like this, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life in order to find the wolves.
Ye Zi said, "I know your temper. From the beginning, I felt that you always try to help others in any way you can, but what you need most now is rest. ”
"I know. Bai Guang smiled and promised the leaves.
"But there's one more thing, I don't know how to speak?" Ye Zi was a little embarrassed. She knew that if she said this, Bai Guang would definitely not stand idly by.
"It's okay, you talk about it, I promise you, I'm recuperating now, I don't do what I can, just do what I can!"
"Alright then!" said Yezi. "During the day, I saw an old man talking to Qianjun, and the old man's expression looked particularly helpless and helpless, you must have seen it too!"
"Yes!"
"I felt something was wrong and went up to ask what was going on. Qianjun told me that on that day, when they rescued the two of us, they sent a letter to the eagle to inform the Iron Dragon Castle. Today, the letter eagle flies back. The letter informed them that in three days a team would come to meet them and take you back to Iron Dragon Castle. The old man told Qianjun that there was only one village within a radius of dozens of miles. However, the population of the village is still quite large, but their lives are not peaceful, and most of them were captured by Scarface before to be slaves, and were later rescued by the Long family. In the earliest days, they were harassed by a snitch, who was very skilled and haunted, and often did things like stealing chickens and dogs, and the villagers had something good, and the next day they would be stolen by the snitch. Although the villagers hated him deeply, they were honest and couldn't catch it at all. The old man said that since the Long family entered the village, the snitch disappeared without a trace. I thought that the Long family would be able to stay here forever. But when he learned that the Long family would leave in three days, he instantly became extremely disappointed. He told Qianjun that once the Long family left, the snitch would return to the village as soon as possible, and it would be better to be a slave to Scarface than to live in fear all day. ”
"I see. After hearing this, Bai Guang immediately took it to heart. He didn't say what he thought right away, but asked Ye Zi what he was going to do.
Ye Zi said, "Of course it's to catch that snitch, break his hands and feet, and see what bad things he will do in the future?!"
"It's all said to be snitches, it's definitely not ordinary petty theft, how can these people catch it casually. ”
"What do you say?"
"Early tomorrow morning, let the Long family general go to the village and bring sturdy men under the age of fifty, and the Long family will personally teach them simple grappling, fighting, making weapons, ** and the like, and also learn to dig traps and set up ambushes. Even if you can't deal with the snitch, at least you can protect yourself in the future. ”
"What else?" asked Ye Zi excitedly.
"Look at you, don't worry, listen to me, let the villagers learn the skills of the Long family general in the past three days, and when the three days are over, we will pretend to leave, but in fact, we will send some soldiers to ambush around, waiting for the opportunity to move, and capture the snitch. ”
"Good idea!" Ye Zi couldn't hide her joy, her hands danced excitedly, she smiled so beautifully, beautiful as a fairy, Bai Guang was almost stunned.
Ye Zi also noticed that he was out of shape, and the white light stared at him, which was really embarrassing.
Bai Guang hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "It's not early, let's rest!"
"But......" Ye Zi lowered his head and whispered "but".
Bai Guang asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, you can't see that?" Ye Zi stomped his foot in a hurry.
The white light was unknown, and he shook his head again and again.
"I mean, where are we sleeping?" Ye Zi felt her face burn so badly that her voice was as low as a mosquito, and she could barely believe that she was saying it.
"Well, of course......" Bai Guangle was about to speak, but was covered by the leaves, because she felt that Bai Guang's voice was too loud.
Bai Guang hurriedly whispered, "I'm also half disabled now, and I can't move, and you're my wife, what do you say?"
Ye Zi blushed again, she felt that everything was coming too quickly, but it seemed that it had been arranged in the dark. To be his wife, to be with him forever, to be by his side all the time, this is also a thought in her heart that she has had ten times and a hundred times, and now, this kind of thing really happened to her. The person in front of her is the person she has felt impossible thousands of times, and it is also the person who gives her hope to live. Being his wife, even if she is a little tired in the future, she should be happy!
Ye Zi walked outside the courtyard and summoned a few generals of the Long family to carry Bai Guang into the house, and they left only after Bai Guang lay down.
Ye Zi closed the door, sat down in front of Bai Guang, and asked about his injuries, and Bai Guang said that it was okay.
"You sleep first, I'll sleep later!" Ye Zi was a little embarrassed.
Bai Guang saw her thoughts, and he didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and fell asleep sweetly. Ye Zi saw that he was asleep, so he slowly lay down beside him.
At the moment, he only felt his heart racing. Although I had been lying next to Bai Guang twice before, I didn't feel this nervous feeling at all. What's going on, the more I think about it now, the more nervous I become.
There is a pot of paste in the leaves in his head. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She just lay beside Bai Guang, and she didn't even dare to breathe. After all, the white light who was lying next to him before was because he was in a coma. And now what she is most worried about is that Bai Guang suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he hadn't slept yet, wouldn't it be very embarrassing.
Time passed little by little, and Ye Zi lay there, looking at Bai Guang's side face, feeling so kind. Her heart has a place to rest, and it is placed in a person who can be entrusted for life, and she is very content.
Time seemed to fly by again, and Ye Zi didn't want the day to dawn too early, so she could take advantage of the candlelight to look at the white light for a while. She looked forward to the dawn soon, so that she could get out of bed one step ahead of Bai Guang, so as not to be seen by Bai Guang in her embarrassment, which was simply too embarrassing.
When the sky was shining, the leaves got up, but she still alarmed the white light.
Bai Guang smiled and asked, "Have you not slept all night?"
"How do you know?" Ye Zi looked back at the white light in surprise.
"I haven't slept all night either!"
"Oh my God, so you know everything?" Leaf turned shyly.
"I feel it, though, I'm going to say, thank you Yezi!"
"Oh my God, I'm ashamed. Ye Zi covered her face, she felt that Bai Guang knew that she had stared at his face all night, and she was losing her reserve. However, he peeked into the white light between his fingers and found that he had been staring at him, as if he was not laughing at himself. Ye Zi asked, "Hey, nasty ghost, what are you looking at, why do you say thank you?"
"Of course, it's to see my wife, thank you, because you're with me, I'm not alone. ”
"Hmm!" Ye Zi didn't expect Bai Guang to say this, she was very pleased, she said to Bai Guang, "You rest for a while, I'll help the eldest lady cook, after all, there are a lot of people who eat for us!"
"I'm not sleeping, I have a lot of things to arrange today!" said Bai Guang, squeezing his eyes vigorously, trying to drive away the tiredness.
Ye Zi didn't persuade him to rest again, but opened the door and went to call a few members of the Long family to come.
After everyone had breakfast, Bai Guang began to arrange the day's affairs. As he had said to Ye Zi last night, he would first arrange for someone to gather the able-bodied people under the age of fifty in the village, and then divide them into three groups according to their condition.
Along the way, learn grappling and fighting skills from the Long family.
The second road and the Long family will learn to make all kinds of weapons, ** and so on.
The three roads and the Long family will learn to dig traps and set up ambushes.
After everything was arranged, he assigned the Long family generals out again, and asked them to take these three groups of people to find a suitable place and train quickly.
Bai Guang himself was not idle, he ordered someone to find a few villagers and ask them to tell them something about the snitch, so as to devise a way to deal with the snitch.
A few of the villagers they had found stood in front of Bai Guang, and when they heard that they were asked to tell them about the snitch, several of them were obviously very panicked, and their whole bodies trembled a little.
Bai Guang hurriedly promised several villagers that he would catch the snitch and restore peace to the place.
Despite this, the crowd cautiously looked around, as if the snitch would be staring at them.
The old lady was cooking in the house and heard their conversation. She walked out of the house, plucked up her courage, and persuaded several villagers to recall the evil deeds of the snitch one after another.
The snitch's name is Akami, and he was originally from the village, but many years ago he lost his parents and became an orphan, and he spends his days loitering around and taking pleasure in petty theft. At first, the villagers were more laissez-faire towards him, thinking that he was alone in the village without relatives, which was quite pitiful. But even if people let him go, it brought all kinds of disasters that intensified. All the people in the village have been stolen by him without exception.
From vegetables and fruits, to cattle and sheep, any good thing can't escape his eyes, and it must have been stolen unconsciously.
He came and went without a trace, and the villagers who lost their things could only scold a few times at the door, and the most hateful thing was that because of his theft, he attracted Scarface.
He is notorious, and the surrounding villages dozens of miles away know that he is such a person, but everyone is helpless against him. So even if you lose something, you don't want to mention it, after all, it's not a good thing to lose something, and it's also because you haven't kept it. But the snitch really shouldn't have stolen Scarface's things.
Scarface is inherently bad, and his badness is blatantly bad. He'll just grab it. The villagers' treasures were robbed by him and he recognized them. Some of those who cannot be snatched must be hidden and not found. But if you hide it, you will definitely be touched by the snitch.
That day, Scarface had just snatched a batch of treasures, and before he could cover the heat, he disappeared. Scarface is not an idle person. He brought many people to the village to search, but found nothing. The villagers are destitute, where can they get anything of value.
Scarface was so angry that he ordered many villagers to be his slaves, thinking that the snitch would definitely appear. But his wishful thinking was wrong, and the snitch didn't eat it at all. He had no choice but to keep consuming it until he was angry and would let a few people go home.
Over the years, the villagers have been arrested many times back and forth, and they have become accustomed to such days.
Therefore, it is better to be captured as a slave by Scarface than to be harassed by the snitch in the village.
The villagers were let back, and they had to continue to be stolen by the snitch. Recently, the Long family will be stationed here, the snitch is gone, and the villagers cheer, thinking that the hard days are coming to an end. But when he learned that the Long family was going to leave soon, he was very reluctant.
After listening to everyone's accusations against the Snitch, Bai Guang's desire to catch the Snitch quickly became stronger and stronger.
Immediately, Bai Guang ordered a thousand troops to train the villagers day and night. And released the news that the Long family would leave this place in three days.
