Jiaxing County Nanhu Lane Mengfu.

Meng Ran ended his sword practice in the playful eyes of everyone, and was taken away by Song Xiaofei by the ear.

The woman complained as she walked: "I know how to practice knives, and I don't look at the time, do you have to receive guests in a stinky manner?"

Meng Ran smiled lightly, took the woman's hand beside him, and whispered, "Isn't there still you." ”

Song Xiaofei Huo Ran stopped, looked at Meng Ran directly, smiled sadly, and said: "Why do you lie to me, when you return, I will already be old, why do you say these sweet words." ”

Meng Ran didn't speak, just put the cold plain hand on his face.

Song Xiaofei twisted, gently broke free of his arm, and said slowly: "No matter when you come back, I will wait for you here." ”

Meng Ran's lips opened a few times, and he finally didn't have the courage to say anything about it, after all, the matter of fate was too ethereal to be determined, if he couldn't survive the catastrophe and couldn't return safely, why should he take the youth of an innocent woman.

Meng Ran sighed and said softly: "You don't have to be like this, if you meet a good person, marry ......."

Before the word of marriage was spoken, his lips were blocked by the beautiful woman's thin fingers, Song Xiaofei smiled and said, "I don't care, you have promised me, you must do it." No matter what happens, what kind of difficulties you encounter, you must return safely, you must remember, I will always be here for you. ”

Meng Ran was full of emotion, but he didn't know how to express it, so he had to nod his head fiercely.

Song Xiaofei pulled Meng Ran's sleeve and took him back to the room in the front yard, wiped his body and combed his hair, and then served Meng Ran to change into clean underwear and choose a cyan shirt for him.

After dressing, Song Xiaofei looked Meng Ran up and down, and laughed softly: "What a handsome little Langjun, he will definitely fascinate a large number of ignorant girls in the future." ”

Meng Ran's lips opened slightly, and he laughed: "Then are you an ignorant girl?"

Song Xiaofei's cheeks flushed, and he said, "You are ignorant, a martial artist who doesn't learn anything." ”

Meng Ran lifted her chin very lightly, and said with a smile: "Ye is both civil and military, if you doubt your master's literary talent in the future, be careful about family law." ”

Song Xiaofei threw himself into Meng Ran's arms and asked in a coquettish voice, "Master, what is the family law?"

Meng Ran picked up Song Xiaofei horizontally, pressed her on his knees, and hit the round buttocks twice, and the crisp sound resounded throughout the room.

Song Xiaofei muttered, his clear eyes were full of spring, and the flush on his face spread to the root of his ears.

An ambiguous and hot breath lingered around the two, not when, Song Xiaofei had already turned over and sat in Meng Ran's arms, and between the soft two strands was suppressing an iron spear with angry eyes.

The beautiful woman in her arms twisted her body mischievously, Meng Ran hissed a long time, and said in a muffled voice: "Lightly, don't crush it." ”

Song Xiaofei pursed his red lips, blew hot air in Meng Ran's ear, and said in a snort: "Will it really be crushed?

Song Xiaofei let out a long hum, and his plump buttocks twisted lightly a few times.

Meng Ran was short of breath, as if he had eaten some kind of tonic decoction, and flames were coming out of his nostrils.

Just as the two were about to move on to the next step, the door was knocked a few times, and the sound of a maid's green screen came from outside the door.

"Young master, are you there? Zhou Gongzi came to visit. ”

Meng Ran suppressed the anger in his body, coughed heavily, and said to the door: "I'm here, wait a while, I'm changing clothes, I'll go to the door to meet him immediately." ”

"Okay, young master. ”

Song Xiaofei, who had already been standing, threw a seductive and provocative look at Meng Ran, who looked depressed.

The corners of Meng Ran's mouth twitched a few times, he slowly stood up, opened his arms, and motioned to the beautiful woman to help him tidy up his clothes.

After doing all this, Meng Ran was about to go out, but was pulled by Song Xiaofei.

"What's the matter?"

Song Xiaofei didn't speak, but just pointed to Meng Ran's lower abdomen, where there was a relatively obvious bulge.

Meng Ran smiled helplessly, and then picked up the teapot on the table and drank it.

Half a pot of cold tea in your stomach, no matter if you are a god in the sky or an evil ghost in the earth, you will eliminate most of the fire.

Meng Ran put down the teapot, Shi Shiran went out of the room, and took the maid standing at the door to the outside of the house.

Outside Meng's Mansion in Nanhu Lane, Zhou Xiaowu was dressed in a white shirt, and beside him stood the concubine who was raised in Beiwang Lane, followed by two servants, each holding a long box in his arms, thinking that it was a weapon or something.

After Meng Ran left the house, he shook Zhou Xiaowu deeply and said politely: "Thank you Brother Zhou for your face to the banquet, my younger brother is grateful." ”

Zhou Xiaowu also replied, with a distressing tiredness on his pale cheeks, and hissed: "Brother Xian holds a banquet, even if the sky falls and the ground sinks, you have to go to the banquet in person for your brother." ”

Meng Ran smiled very comfortably, turned to look at the woman opposite, and shouted respectfully: "Meng Ran has seen my sister-in-law." ”

The woman hurriedly saluted Meng Ran, and even said that she didn't dare to take it.

Her hands clutched the corners of her clothes tightly, and a fine bead of sweat appeared in her palms.

Meng Ran just smiled and invited sideways: "Brother Zhou, please, let's have dinner in the hall." ”

Zhou Xiaowu bowed slightly, and led the concubine into the gate of Mengfu.

After the servant of the Zhou Mansion handed the long box in his hand to the subordinates of the Meng Mansion, he quickly walked out of the courtyard and returned to Nanhu Alley to wait.

In the hall in the front yard of the Meng Mansion was a square table full of dishes, as well as two pots of aged flower carvings, and a bench on each side of the table.

Meng Ran naturally sat on the top position, Zhou Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, and sat opposite Meng Ran, and the concubine stood behind his own man, without the slightest intention of entering the table.

Meng Ran didn't force her, but just turned around and ordered: "Green screen, take Mrs. Zhou to Miss Song's place for dinner, there will be no one to serve here, I can do it myself." ”

Green Screen gave a salute and left the hall with the reluctant concubine of the Zhou Mansion.

Meng Ran glanced at Zhou Xiaowu on the other side, and asked very seriously, "Maybe you can drink?"

Zhou Xiaowu laughed, coughed several times, and hissed: "How can you go to the banquet without drinking wine." ”

Meng Ran didn't say anything more, just picked up the wine jug on the table and filled the two wine glasses.

After picking up the wine glass, Meng Ran looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The first glass of wine, I salute Brother Zhou's good courage." ”

Zhou Xiaowu didn't say a word, picked up the wine glass in front of him and touched it with Meng Ran, and then drank it all.

Seeing this, Meng Ran also drank the wine in the cup very happily.

The second glass of wine is full.

Meng Ran continued: "The second glass of wine, Brother Zhou has a good face. ”

The third glass of wine was poured.

Meng Ran said again: "The third cup of wine, to the deceased. ”

Meng Ran stood up, slowly spilled the wine in the cup on the ground, and then sat down slowly, looking at Zhou Xiaowu with a calm face.

After Zhou Xiaowu did the same, he stretched out his trembling right hand and grabbed the wine jug on the table, filled the two empty glasses and toasted to Meng Ran.

A hoarse voice sounded in the hall, "It's not a pity for me to die, I just ask you to have a lot of money, let Mengchan have a way to live, I didn't want to bring her here, but for some reason she knew, she had to go with me on this journey." ”

Zhou Xiaowu drank it all and looked at Meng Ran with a pleading expression.

Meng Ran was just expressionless, silent.

Zhou Xiaowu put down the wine glass, slowly walked to the side, and knelt down directly, kowtowed three times, and begged: "As long as you let Mengchan go, you can do whatever you want me to do." ”

Meng Ran gently picked up the wine glass in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Is it really okay to do anything, including death?"

Zhou Xiaowu hummed heavily, his face full of indescribable tragedy.

Meng Ran bowed his head slightly and drank the wine in his glass.

"Do you have any last words?"

Meng Ran's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he asked absentmindedly.

Zhou Xiaowu shook his head and said with a smile: "I have enjoyed all the blessings that I should enjoy, and I have no regrets, the only thing I feel less satisfied with may be that I owe Mengchan too much." ”

Meng Ran put down his wine glass and asked in a cold tone: "You have been in trouble for Jiaxing for many years, and you only feel that you owe one person? Don't you feel the slightest guilt for other people? Don't you feel indebted to those businessmen and women who were bullied by you? What kind of face do you have to say that you only owe one person? Are you the only one who has parents, relatives, brothers and sisters, and no one else?"

Zhou Xiaowu smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "What's the use of saying this? It's just a life to pay off debts, and there's only so much I can do." ”

Meng Ran was angry, but he didn't know what to say. Zhou Xiaowu only has one life, if he makes up his mind to pay for it, what can he do? Can one life really make up for those wrongdoings? Can one life repair the wounds of those who have been humiliated? Can one life make those broken families whole?

The answer, of course, is no.

Just when Meng Ran hesitated, a figure stumbled into the hall and knelt on the ground side by side with Zhou Xiaowu, her cheeks full of tears.

When Meng Ran saw this scene, he smiled bitterly and said: "Let's get up, people who don't know still think that I set up a private court, and I can't afford this crime." ”

Zhou Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, picked up the concubine Mengchan on the side, and then stood there quietly, waiting for Meng Ran's fall.

Meng Ran stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to sit down.

After Zhou Xiaowu and Mengchan sat down, Meng Ran sighed softly and said, "Brother Zhou, we can't change the past, so let's start from the present, don't think about dying anymore, it's too cheap for you." From this moment on, you have to make up for the wrong and bad things you have done in the past until you feel that you have paid it off.

If you think you can do it, then we'll keep drinking, and if you stick to the way you used to live, I'll have to send you away." ”

Zhou Xiaowu reluctantly smiled and said in a low voice: "If you can be a good person, who wants to be a bad person who is poked in the back......?

Meng Ran said bluntly: "That's fine." As for the matter between you and me, let's reveal it here, although I am not a generous person, but I don't want to worry about it. ”

Zhou Xiaowu filled the empty cup in front of him, drank it all, and drank eight cups in a row.

Meng Ran picked up another pot of wine, filled his cup, touched Zhou Xiaowu, and said seriously: "Since Brother Zhou agreed, you have to do it well, don't let me down, and don't let my sister-in-law down." ”

Zhou Xiaowu seemed to be smiling rather than laughing, crying instead of crying, and poured the spout of the wine jug to his mouth, gulping it up, unable to distinguish whether the water stains on his face were wine or tears.
