The Knife in the Realm Chapter 57 Dong Ge's statement, the afterglow of the setting sun
The angry voice resounded in the small space of the broken temple, and this voice made Chen Wenshan and Meng'er Girl, who were playing with the children, stop their respective movements, and the small eyes of several children also looked at the gate of the broken temple.
The young man known as Dong Ge stared at Chen Wenshan with what he thought was the most ferocious gaze, Chen Wenshan turned to look at the young man, did not step forward, just stayed in place for a while.
When the children saw their brother Dong coming back, they ran towards the boy with small steps.
The young man squatted down, his expression became gentle, he looked at the immature faces, and gave them the bun in his hand.
Chen Wenshan said jokingly: "You can also see that we didn't do anything to these children, but you yelled as soon as you came in." ”
The young man stood up, and his gaze at Chen Wenshan softened slightly, "What is the matter with you here?"
"Originally, I was just here to ask you one thing, but now I'm afraid I'm going to have one more question. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Wenshan looked at several children.
Chen Wenshan's gaze made the young man feel a little vigilant.
Chen Wenshan didn't care about the young man's posture and asked, "You once said that you are a member of the Haihe Gang?"
The boy replied, "Yes." ”
"But as far as I know, the Haihe Gang doesn't live in this kind of place, at least not in a ruined temple. ”
"You don't care about that!"
"You shouldn't be a member of the Haihe Gang, you're just doing things in the name of the Haihe Gang, I'm curious about what you think of the Haihe Gang. ”
The young man looked Chen Wenshan up and down, looked at Chen Wenshan's noble son's dress, and said: "If you want to know about the Haihe Gang, you can know by grabbing a person on the street, and you can also ask the girl next to you, why do you have to ask me?"
Chen Wenshan looked at the quiet Meng'er girl, and said to the young man: "To tell you the truth, I have inquired about the opinions of the people of Mingchuan City about the Haihe Gang in the city, and I have also asked the Meng'er girl about the Haihe Gang alone, but this is not enough. ”
"I want to know from you what you think of the Haihe Gang. ”
The young man didn't know what Chen Wenshan's purpose was, so he didn't speak rashly.
Seeing that the young man didn't speak, Chen Wenshan continued: "If I guess correctly, you stay in this broken temple, first, because of your limited ability, and second, because you have to take care of these children. After this sentence, he deliberately paused for a few seconds, "Or maybe you are hiding these children!"
The young man's expression immediately became nervous as Chen Wenshan's words fell.
Chen Wenshan looked at the young man's expression, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”
"You ......"
The young man's fists were clenched, and the next moment he was about to go up and beat Chen Wenshan.
"Don't think about it, you can't beat me, if you don't want the whole Mingchuan City to know about the things here, it's best to explain everything you know. ”
The boy bit the flesh of his inner lip, and it was difficult to make a choice, and after struggling for a while, he finally spoke: "Actually, we children are all orphans, and without exception, we have lost our parents. A few years ago, there was a group of people in black in my family, and those men in black were very strong, and they took our family away indiscriminately and without much effort, thanks to the help of the Haihe Gang, I was rescued. These children are like this, and they were all rescued by the Haihe Gang. ”
"Originally, the third brother was going to keep us in the gang, and he thought that the Haihe Gang was capable enough to protect us. The third brother is not wrong, if there is anyone in the entire Mingchuan City who is most capable of protecting us, then there is no other force except the Haihe Gang. But Mr. Two didn't allow it, he said that the Haihe Gang couldn't protect us all the time, so Mr. Two thought of a plan, and he asked me to learn how to steal the money of those who didn't do anything good when they looked at it, so that I could dress up dirty on weekdays. He arranged the rest of the children to be taken care of by me in the ruined temple, and then announced in the city that the thieves in the city would be covered by their Haihe Gang, and he set up many rules to restrain these thieves, and he claimed that this was to maintain the daily order of Mingchuan City, but in fact, it was all to cover our existence......"
When the young man said this, he turned his head to look at the children who were eating steamed buns, his eyes softened, "Mr. Second does not allow us to contact the Haihe Gang privately, whatever the actions of the Haihe Gang are seen by others, and if we contact us often, we will be exposed." The third brother would secretly send us some silver every month, and I kept all of it. I think...... If we can get out of the ruined temple in the future, I will use this money to send these children to private schools, so that they can learn more literacy and skills. ”
Chen Wenshan listened to the young man's statement, and secretly thought in his heart, it seems that the comments about the Haihe Gang in the city in the past few days are not credible, so what happened to the few people that day, he was on the scene at the time, and even participated in person. Miss Meng'er also once said that the Haihe Gang is a gang of loyalty, which side is true and which side is false? What kind of force makes the second gentleman of the Haihe Gang so jealous, and so painstakingly plotting for these children.
Chen Wenshan's eyes were lowered, and he combined all this to form three big characters, which are the three big characters of "City Lord's Mansion".
"Meng'er girl, what kind of person is the little boy in your eyes?"
Miss Meng'er pursed her lips lightly and said, "Little boy, the little boy is very good, he only listens to Meng'er play the piano and sing songs when he comes to Hongxinglou on weekdays, and he doesn't have the arrogance and squeamishness of other noble sons." Sometimes he would tell me about his sufferings and say things that were not desirable, and I would comfort him. ”
Chen Wenshan looked at Miss Meng'er and said, "It seems that the relationship between the little boy and Miss Meng'er is more like a confidant!"
Miss Meng'er's crystal eyes rolled up slightly, and said, "Otherwise, what does Lin Gongzi think?"
Chen Wenshan touched his cheek in embarrassment, he could prove that the thoughts in his heart were absolutely pure.
Chen Wenshan put down his hand to touch his cheek, turned his hand over, and suddenly there was an extra cloth bag in his hand, he walked in front of the young man and handed the cloth bag to the young man, "Here is a little silver, not much, just give it to you." ”
The young man took the silver, slightly stunned, and then asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Chen Wenshan said: "The silver is not for you, it is for children, I just love these children very much." ”
The young man rubbed his upper and lower tiger teeth against each other and said, "Thank you." ”
Chen Wenshan stretched his waist and said to the children eating steamed buns: "Children, Sister Meng'er and I are leaving, and I will come to see you when I have time in the future." ”
The children nodded obediently, and some of them shouted, "Brother and sister must come to see us in the future." ”
Miss Meng'er squatted down and scratched the child's nose, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my sister will definitely come to see you." ”
......
Chen Wenshan left the ruined temple with the Meng'er girl, and before leaving, he looked back and carefully looked at the dilapidated dragon king statue in the temple for a while, the dragon king statue only had a tail and no head.
The sky was getting dark, Chen Wenshan looked at the sky and said to Miss Meng'er: "Miss Meng'er hasn't eaten yet, why don't I take you to dinner?"
Miss Meng'er shook her head, "Childe's kindness, Meng'er understands it." Meng'er has to go back early, otherwise her mother and sisters will be worried. ”
"Well, since that's the case, then Miss Meng'er will go back today, and if she is free another day, Wen Yi will definitely go to Hongxing Lou to order your brand, and let Miss Meng'er play the piano and sing songs for me. ”
Miss Meng'er smiled lightly, bowed slightly, and said, "Meng'er is looking forward to the master's ride." ”
Chen Wenshan picked up Miss Meng'er and said, "Don't worry, since Miss Meng'er calls me a son, then I should also do something like a son." Well, I'll send Miss Meng'er back to Hongxing Mansion today, what does Miss Meng'er think?"
Miss Meng'er squinted, the corners of her mouth raised, and said crisply, "Okay." ”
In the evening daylight, the shadows of the two were stretched long. Miss Meng'er put her toes on tiptoe to make her shadow as long as Chen Wenshan's shadow, Chen Wenshan shook her head and bent her knees to make herself shorter, which made Meng'er girl cover her mouth and chuckle......
All first acquaintances are beautiful, and if there is no wind and snow, there will be no joys and sorrows.
There are many mysteries in Nagawa Castle, but the biggest mystery is still the future.
......
The twilight fell on the sky above Mingchuan City, making the entire Mingchuan City look hazy, Chen Wenshan returned to the Spring Breeze Inn, sat on the roof of the Spring Breeze Inn, looked at the Mingchuan City in the twilight, and after spitting out a long breath, he lay on the tiles on the roof. The tiles are a little warm, just enough to warm the back of Chen Wenshan.
Yao Jiu took the pot of wine, jumped up, and gently landed on the roof of the building with a tile, he looked at Chen Wenshan who was lying on the tile and closed his eyes, his old face was wrinkled, "In vain." ”
Chen Wenshan opened his eyes, turned sideways to look at Yao Jiu, and shouted, "Master." ”
"Master, why did you come up too?"
Yao Jiu sat beside Chen Wenshan, handed Chen Wenshan a pot of wine and said, "Come up for the teacher to accompany the apprentices to see the afterglow of the sunset on this famous river." ”
Chen Wenshan pulled out the wine jug, took a sip, spicy throat, spicy heart, and said, "Master, when did you become so literate?"
Yao Jiu also drank a sip of wine in his hand, patted his stomach and said, "What is in the stomach of the teacher is the insight of the teacher's life, and there are many things in it that you don't know. ”
"Master, when will I be able to see the clouds in the sky like you do?"
Yao Jiu lay down and said, "Wait until you completely inherit my sword technique." ”
"Master, how powerful is your sword technique? I couldn't see it clearly when I saw you perform it that time, but I saw a stream of light and shadow flashing endlessly. ”
Yao Jiu glanced at Chen Wenshan and said: "The Nine Heavenly Sword Styles, each style is extremely energy-consuming, and I am also old, so I can't dance this Heavenly Sword." ”
"Master, if I want to learn your sword, can I live forever?"
Yao Jiu laughed and said, "My sword can't take you to immortality, it can only take you to kill all the people who hinder your immortality." ”
"Master, why does the world want to live forever?"
"Because the world is so ignorant and ignorant of the passage of time, this one is just in vain for longevity. ”
Chen Wenshan looked at Yao Jiu seriously and said, "Master, I don't think people who pursue immortality are necessarily for immortality. ”
Yao Jiu was slightly stunned and asked, "What is that for?"
Chen Wenshan looked at the sunset on the edge of the sky in confusion and said, "To live!"
