Chapter 22: The Banshee and the Wizard (I)
"Okay, don't look unhappy, do you know that because of your greed, you almost killed your brother?" Sun Meng looked at Xiaohu's sister and said.
"Why don't you let me bring the gems back, then the village will be rich!" She wanted the gems not only because they were beautiful, but also because she wanted to make the village, especially her family, rich.
"Don't think about it, even if you go back with the gem, it will only bring disaster to the village, and if you have no strength and have great wealth, you will eventually cause others to be greedy and cause disaster. Even the Shaolin Temple can't stop so many peeping people. Although Sun Meng said so, it was actually not that serious.
That gem may be priceless in the eyes of civilians, but don't forget that the Shaolin Temple saved the prince once not long ago, and with this relationship, it is still easy to improve the environment of Xiaohu's village.
But in that case, it is unknown whether Xiaohu can stay and practice martial arts.
"Okay, okay! I kind of know why Brother Xiaohu always likes to lecture me, all from you stinky monks. β
The little girl grimaced at Sun Meng and ran quickly towards the village. When he came to Xiaohu's door, Xiaohu's brother Chen Xin thanked Sun Meng for sending his sister back.
"Come in and have a drink!" he said with a smile, "Can I know how Xiaohu is now?"
Sun Meng nodded, "He has a great talent for martial arts, but he always encounters something special. In short, he is good and has a lot of potential for the future. β
Chen Xin nodded, "Then I'll rest assured, but he won't be a monk!"
Sun Meng smiled, "Of course not, although the abbot treats them as his own personal disciples, in fact, they are still lay disciples, and they will not be forced to become monks." In addition, there is a group of thieves named the Black Fox Gang who have been active a little frequently recently, and children should not go out alone. As he spoke, he glanced at Jun (jΓΉn) Xiu, who is Xiaohu's sister.
The little girl snorted and looked at her eldest brother, "He's so bad, obviously the gem has already been obtained, but he won't let me bring it back, if you have that gem, you can marry Sister Merry!"
Sun Meng looked at Chen Xin, "It turns out that there is such a reason in it, I don't know which girl Brother Chen has fallen in love with, can make your little sister so anxious?"
Chen Xin smiled embarrassedly, "I like her, but her family has always disagreed." The gap between our two families is too big, she is a kind and good girl, but unfortunately her parents will not let us be together. β
"His family is the largest family in our place, and he has a lot of money, if you give me the gems, my brother will definitely be able to marry Sister Mei Li. β
Sun Meng smiled in his heart, it was another story of a poor boy and a rich girl, but it was not so easy to counterattack in this era.
"Brother Chen, that girl is so beautiful that you are so fascinated? "How can I say that I am also Xiaohu's brother, if I can really help, he is still very willing to help."
"No, Merry isn't good-looking, but she's kind. In addition, she told me that she was not doing well at home, that her parents were always watching her, and that we met secretly except for the first few times. Looking at Chen Xin's expression of thinking of a lover, Sun Meng planned to help him in his heart.
The two are happy, and the other party can't live an ordinary life with Chen Xin, so he naturally wants to help his relatives.
"If that's the case, I'll help you, no matter how you say that you are Xiaohu's brother, when I come back, I'll go and find out about their family. After saying that, Sun Meng turned around and went out, Chen Xin wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
In addition, the screen is also full of viewers, who also want to see what the woman who dares to be called Mei Li looks like. Although the Wei family is said to be a wealthy family in the neighborhood, their family does not live in the town, but builds a village like a small city by themselves, called Weijiabao.
Sun Meng didn't plan to go through the main entrance, so he found a corner and climbed over the wall to enter, and skillfully stepped on the roof to find Mei Li's residence. It just so happened that at this time, Merry appeared by the window and looked out of the window.
"No!" many people on the screen sighed, not that this woman was too beautiful, but that she was too awkward.
can't say that she is too ugly to see people, because there is nothing abnormal in her facial features, and even when taken out alone, it can be said to be good. But put together, the more you look at it, the more awkward it becomes, and even a nasty feeling will appear.
The bird that was originally on the platform outside the window also flew away after Mei Li showed her face, which made Mei Li very sad.
"Am I really that annoying? Even the little animals don't want to approach me. β
It's rare that she has a beautiful voice, and no one will hate her if you listen to it alone.
"In a few days, it will be time to be busy with farming, and then I will be able to see Brother Chen again, if only he could propose marriage to his father. Merry muttered to herself, and simply closed the window.
Just as Sun Meng was about to leave, he noticed a sound at the door.
"Oh, hey, I said Wei Yuanwai! Your daughter is content to marry her! This is the son of the county master, even if it is a small Meili of your family, it is worth it, let alone being a wife!"
"Hmph, matchmaker, get out of here for me, our Mei Li don't talk about the son of a county master, even the emperor's son won't marry!"
Sun Meng followed the sound and looked over, and a matchmaker and the two porters she brought were kicked out.
"Contestants, something is not right. β
The red barrage floated by, and Sun Meng nodded, "It's really wrong, the Wei family's parents really don't seem to want their daughter to get married." β
According to the information he heard, this Miss Merry is now considered an old leftover girl, and she has to pay double the tax. Moreover, they don't let their daughter see people easily, and they don't let their daughter marry someone she likes, and even people with good conditions come to ask for marriage and don't marry, is this Mei Li a baby?
Sun Meng came to the Wei family's parents' room, ready to listen to the conversation between them and see if he could have some useful information.
"How's it going?" asked a woman's voice eagerly.
"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with this ugly bastard, I haven't produced diamonds for the last few days. Do you think I'm going to send someone to dispose of that Chen Xin?" the man's voice said.
"Are you crazy? Their youngest son is practicing martial arts in the Shaolin Temple, do you want to provoke the Shaolin Temple?" the woman said eagerly, "Otherwise, you will agree to the family, anyway, this ugly monster will not really like those sons and brothers, when the time comes, I will accompany her, and I will come back to the door!"
"Absolutely not! You know that curse, even if she doesn't sincerely want to marry, it will be lifted, at most, she can't change back to her original self. The man was in a hurry, and his voice was a little raised.
Sun Meng raised his eyebrows, "There is really a secret!" He didn't wait for what the two of them were going to say next, he directly kicked open the window and jumped in, directly pinning the man first.
Sun Meng looked at the woman, "I heard everything you said, and explained to me the cause and effect clearly, otherwise you have money to take but you won't have the life to spend!" According to the fierce appearance in Shao Tan's memory, Sun Meng's expression made the woman sit directly on the ground in fright
"Hero, spare your life, we can give you money, don't kill us!"
Sun Meng smiled, "How much money do you have?"
The woman crawled on the ground and took out a box in the corner cabinet full of diamonds!
"You can take whatever you want, just spare our lives!"
"So many diamonds!" Sun Meng was also surprised, if these diamonds were really taken out and sold, they would be worth more than the current Weijiabao!
"I just heard what you said about the curse, what is it?" Sun Meng said, grabbed the woman by the neck, lifted her up, and fell to the ground.
Then she used the shadow capture magic skill to hide her husband's shadow, "Hehe, my secret art, as long as your husband's shadow doesn't return to his body within half a month, he will die!"
The woman was so frightened that she cried, "I said, I said it all! It started one night more than ten years ago, when we were just doing a small business, and one night we heard a movement outside the door......
The cause and effect before and after were clear, and Sun Meng had to sigh, this world is really wonderful. "You two not only killed Mei Li's biological parents but also deceived her for so long, it's time to atone for your sins!"
Sun Meng knocked the woman unconscious and tied up with the man, carried the two of them and rushed to the town to hand them over to the government.
