Chapter 87: The Sound of the Knife in the Camel Bell (2)
A red cheek was lying on the wooden steps of the staircase, her hand stretched out, but she never dared to take the golden lock in the hand of the tall guest. The short guest on the side couldn't stand it anymore, "Take it, if you don't take it, you won't take it, twist something." "After that, the short guest snatched the golden lock from the tall guest's hand, and was about to go upstairs to give a zhang red.
She had barely taken two steps when she heard the tall guest shout, "Be careful!" before she could finish speaking, the tall guest stepped forward and picked up the short guest. In the blink of an eye, I heard a shout from upstairs: "Boss, you forgot to nurse the baby!" As the voice came out, a tightly covered swaddling baby was thrown down from the upstairs by him.
"Kid!"
A red pair of eyes cracked, and one jumped up, and then took off to protect the swaddling clothes. At the same time, a fierce palm wind swept through the rotten wood, and with a bang, it smashed into Yizhanghong's body. Yizhang Hong was defenseless against this palm, and couldn't help but let out a miserable scream, like a wild goose that had been hit by an arrow, and his slender figure fell to the ground violently.
Seeing this, the tall guest at the bottom raised his arms and steadily took Yizhang Hong in his arms. Although Yizhang Hong is a woman, her cultivation is also profound, even if she is slapped by this fierce palm, she only suffers internal injuries, and she has no worries about her life. But the swaddling clothes were rolling on the ground with bones.
Seeing this, the short guest hurriedly took two steps forward, bent down and picked up the swaddling clothes rolling on the ground, she straightened up and shouted at the upstairs: "You are also vicious, how can you attack women and children!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a disdainful laugh from upstairs: "Little girl, let's see what you are holding in your arms first." ”
The short guest glanced into her arms, "Ah!" she let out a coquettish cry and threw the swaddling clothes in her arms on the ground with a bang. The swaddling clothes were tossed by a few people, and as soon as they landed, they scattered. Just look at what kind of baby is wrapped in the swaddling clothes, but a woman's head that has begun to rot and stink, but you can vaguely see the clean face of the woman before her death. The short guest ran behind the tall guest in three steps and two steps, and she trembled slightly, looking frightened.
The tall guest lowered his head and whispered to Yizhanghong in his arms: "I said a long time ago, you are not doing well." ”
Yizhang Hong first closed her eyes and shook her head, then her eyes widened violently, and she shouted upstairs like a madman: "Why don't you use more force! Why don't you kill me with one palm!"
The wood hiding in the corner sat down on the ground and muttered, "Mother, this is really a black shop......"
At the same time, two big men appeared at the staircase, and then, Zhao Yixuan and the four girls of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting also walked out when they heard the movement. In an instant, the lobby on the first floor of the inn became bustling.
The tall guest gently placed the hostess on the floor, took off the hood, and smiled, "If you have something to say, you can say it well." ”
Lin Sanchuan and Xiao Shanming looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief. The two of them moved their lips twice, and just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by the tall guest: "It's me, Dong Ping." ”
Lin Sanchuan and Xiao Shanming jumped downstairs and looked at Dong Ping with excitement, only to see that he was thin and dark, but his spirit was more sufficient.
Zhao Yixuan upstairs secretly said that it was not good, it seemed that Xiao Shanming and the person they were looking for had returned. The fact that he wanted them to go to Jackdaw City with him must have been in the soup, so he would lose a lot of help.
Dong Ping said after greeting Xiao Shanming and Lin Sanchuan: "There are some things, let's talk about them later, I still have some things to do now." ”
Seeing that Dong Ping came back safely, Xiao Shanming and the others were also happy in their hearts. Although the two of them were full of questions, they were not in a hurry at this time.
Dong Ping took out a burden from the back of the big cover, put it in front of the proprietress Yizhanghong, and slowly unfolded it: "These are all what the eldest brother asked me to give you, you see, embroidered shoes, breathable clothes, and gemstone bracelets......" Dong Ping displayed one thing in front of Yizhanghong, all of which were clothes worn by dolls and pendants. Seeing what Dong Ping was putting in front of her, it was as if there was an invisible sharp knife cutting her heart, and she burst into tears and her heart ached.
Everyone was puzzled, they couldn't understand what the boss lady had to do with Dong Ping, and they couldn't understand what tricks Dong Ping was doing.
Dong Ping said lightly after putting the things on the table: "Big brother calculates, this year's girl should be four years old, these clothes should be worn." ”
A red gaze suddenly flickered, and her tears suddenly exuded a compelling chill. With a whoosh, I just saw that Zhang Hong grabbed a small pendant and shot towards Dong Ping's eyebrows. Xiao Shanming saw it clearly, but when he didn't make a move, he heard a symphony of gold and stone. Several people looked at Dong Ping, only to see that he was unharmed, and at this time he was using the knife in his hand to compare it to his throat, and said coldly: "I ask you, do you fit." ”
Yizhang Hong sobbed, buried his head on the floor, his body trembled, but he was choked and unable to speak.
The night wind howled, and the rolled up yellow sand wrapped the inn, adding a bit of unfathomable weirdness. Suddenly, a jingling camel bell rang, pulling Dong Ping's thoughts back to a few days ago.
The Xia people have three main cities in the desert, lined up from west to east. The common use of the three cities is different, one city is the city of grain and grass, and the other is the city of armament. And the city that Dong Ping and they destroyed was in charge of the people. The city in charge of people and horses is gone, and the desert can be regarded as peaceful. Although the camel swordmen suffered heavy losses, the people were still on the rise, and they all wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the two cities together. Guo Yiwei immediately denied it, he knew that his group was pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth. It's okay to destroy a city in the Xia Kingdom, but if you don't know how to restrain it, it may bring ruin to the people of the desert. Dong Ping agreed with Guo Yiwei's idea, and he also said to Guo Yiwei: "Although the desert oasis is comfortable to live in, it is not a good place to live in the long run. I still suggest that the eldest brother take advantage of the current peace of the desert and move the people in the oasis to the Central Plains as soon as possible. ”
Guo Yiwei's suggestion to Dong Ping has actually been considered for a long time, and in the past hundred years of his Guo family's desert, there has been a tragedy of wind and sand swallowing the oasis every year. At the time of his grandfather, there were 200 oases in the desert, but now there are fewer than 100. But after all, the desert is a place where abandoned people have lived for generations, and it is not easy to say that people are moving. Although Guo Yiwei is willing, he also said that he will discuss and discuss again.
The desert is over, and Dong Ping is going to take Ruan Li back to the Central Plains. Before leaving, Guo Yiwei, an iron-blooded man, blushed rarely, and asked Dong Ping to do something. That thing is to carry something to Yizhanghong at the end of the desert. Seeing that Guo Yiwei wanted to carry all the clothes of dolls, Dong Ping teased Guo Yiwei that he was in the desert, but he was all over the world.
Guo Yiwei waved his hand, and half-explained and half-muttered about his past with that red to Dong Ping.
Once, in the desert, there was a woman as beautiful as a flower. Everyone called her, and she was red. Although Yizhanghong and Guo Yiwei are not childhood sweethearts, they can be regarded as beauties who love heroes. Seven or eight years ago, Guo Yiwei made a lifelong agreement with Yizhang Hong. But like a person like Yizhang Hong, she is reluctant to guard this yellow sand desert forever. She spoke fluently and cultivated profoundly, she disdained to tear the two-foot brocade with the women in the neighborhood, and she didn't want to live in a corner forever.
At dusk, the beauty is independent.
Guo Yiwei, who had finished practicing a set of knife techniques, saw the emotion in his red eyes leaning against the door frame. Yizhanghong confided in Guo Yiwei, she said that she wanted to go to the desert to see. Guo Yiwei agreed, because he didn't want to see his woman mourn. Five years ago, Guo Yiwei personally sent Yizhanghong to the desert, and sent several capable subordinates to protect Yizhanghong's safety. When he returned to the desert, he learned that Yizhanghong was pregnant. In less than half a month, the men returned to the desert, and they told Guo Yiwei that Yizhanghong had made a home in the inn at the end of the desert, and the old woman in the inn was kind and treated her very well.
Guo Yiwei has a strategy and cultivation, but his mind is very straightforward. When he heard that Yizhanghong was taken care of, he was relieved, so much so that he killed the enemy in the depths of the desert for five years, and he didn't take the time to see Yizhanghong. What he wants is to kill all the thieves as soon as possible and stay with his lover for the rest of his life.
Hearing this, Dong Ping secretly said in his heart, saying so, Brother Guo's wife is a lively and unwilling character. And if she really has affection for Brother Guo, plus she has the flesh and blood of the two, why hasn't she come back for five years. At that time, Dong Ping couldn't help but guess that Yizhanghong was afraid that he had long forgotten Brother Guo's infatuation with her. But it is impossible for Dong Ping to say this to Guo Yiwei, he only said that Guo Yiwei was stupid, but he didn't know that there are as many people in the world as there are lovers, and there are as many infatuated methods. If this matter was put on him Dong Ping, he would not let his sweetheart leave him no matter what.
When he came all the way to the Zhensha Pavilion, Dong Ping faintly felt that something was wrong. There is no other reason, but this Zhensha Pavilion is too lifeless and lifeless. When he saw Yizhanghong's expression when he saw the golden lock, Dong Ping was even more determined about his thoughts. Dong Ping felt worthless for Guo Yiwei, and wanted to kill this Zhang Hong with a knife. But when he saw Yizhanghong treating the dead man as his own child, Dong Ping thought again, I don't know what this Zhanghong has experienced over the years. If it's really wrong, it's not all her to blame. That Guo Yiwei, who seems to be amorous but is actually ruthless, is not wrong?
At this time, a somewhat weak and crisp voice came: "Don't hurt her." ”
Everyone looked for prestige, and it turned out to be Sun Mingxiang. Just now Xiao Shanming came to Sun Mingxiang's room and found that she was fainting to the ground, Xiao Shanming unlocked the acupoint for Sun Mingxiang, carried her to the bed to rest, and then came out. As soon as he came out, he collided with Lin Sanchuan, who was holding swaddling clothes. Xiao Shanming was also shocked to see the dead man's head wrapped in the swaddling clothes, and the two discussed it, and then decided to take advantage of his unpreparedness to take advantage of the small plan to win a red zhang. But they didn't think about it, the two saw Dong Ping who they were looking for downstairs, although the two had doubts, but they were more full of joy.
Seeing that Sun Mingxiang came out, Xiao Shanming hurriedly walked up the stairs with two steps and took Sun Mingxiang in his arms.
"Don't kill her, she has a hard time. ”
Dong Ping smiled and said, "Naturally, I won't kill her, I will send her to Guo Yiwei." When Dong Ping said the three words Guo Yiwei, he deliberately accentuated his tone, which made his red body tremble again.
Sun Mingxiang saw that Dong Ping's eyes lit up, and she forced a smile and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but seeing that Dong Gongzi is well, the slave family is also relieved." ”
The short figure behind Dong Ping peeked at the stairs, only to see the four girls in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Sun Mingxiang, who were bright and beautiful. She couldn't help lowering her head, and even pasted it behind Dong Ping's back. Seeing her abnormal movements, Lin Sanchuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "When are you the little maid that my son-in-law received?"
The short figure spat at Lin Sanchuan's feet and said, "Who is the little girl, I am your grandmother!"
Hearing this, Lin Sanchuan raised his eyebrows, and immediately reached out and took off the hood on the short girl's head: "I, Lin Sanchuan, have lived alone for so long, I want to see what my extra grandmother looks like!"
only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and Lin Sanchuan's hand that was about to fall stopped in mid-air. Lin Sanchuan looked at Dong Ping in disbelief and said, "Childe?"
Dong Ping tilted his head to look at Lin Sanchuan and said, "He is the wife of your son-in-law, she said it was your grandmother, isn't it?"
When Lin Sanchuan heard this, he knelt on the ground and said to the short girl: "Grandma forgive me, you can punish me, my stinky mouth really deserves to die!"
The short girl smiled secretly, kicked Lin Sanchuan twice with her toes, and said, "Hurry up, who said they were going to punish you." ”
Xiao Shanming and Sun Mingxiang glanced at each other, then hugged their fists at Dong Ping and said, "My brother is not righteous, he married his daughter-in-law secretly." ”
Dong Ping smiled and said: "The happy event hasn't been done yet, and when the time comes, the wedding banquet will be indispensable for your wedding wine." ”
Zhao Yixuan looked left and right, and also hugged his fists and said: "I don't know if Dong Gongzi's wine, is there a chance to drink a glass of wine?"
Dong Ping only began to take a closer look at Zhao Yixuan at this time, and after a while, he said slowly: "That's natural, if the son comes, it will give you a lot of face." ”
Zhao Yixuan smiled back, he had already heard from Xiao Shanming that Dong Pingnai was the top of the Martial Arts Academy of Luyue Academy this year, and if he could make friends with him, it would definitely be a great help for him.
Suddenly, there was a change again. Just looking at the chess protector behind Zhao Yixuan, he stretched his sleeves fiercely, and two streamers shot out suddenly. Dong Ping couldn't help but raise his knife to block it, but the two streamers fell straight down as soon as they arrived in front of him.
Dong Ping looked down and saw that the two streamers turned out to be two chess pieces, one black and one white, which were steadily landing on the red shoulders at this time. And Yizhanghong's body was stiff and motionless, as if he had been immobilized.
Luoqi's cold voice came: "She's going to blow up the Qi Palace, you still have the heart to do homework." ”
Dong Ping was shocked, his mind drifted just now, but he didn't notice the change in Yizhanghong, it was really a mistake. If Yizhang Hong really blew himself up in the Qi Palace, then he would have to bury her with her. The kung fu of falling chess, which is as light as a weight, also impressed everyone.
Dong Ping first thanked Luoqi, and then bowed his head to Yizhang Hong: "What is buried in your heart, you can say to Brother Guo, he misses you day and night, looks forward to you, waits for you, misses you, what can't forgive you?"
To outsiders, Dong Ping said all good things. She stared at Dong Ping with red eyes, and said in her heart, how can there be such a vicious person in this world.
Dong Ping smiled, turned his head to look at the wood hiding in the corner and said, "Bartender, go get a few dishes, I want to catch up with your brothers." ”
Upstairs, Sun Mingxiang interjected: "Sister, can you take the chess pieces off the boss's shoulder, she is injured, she should go back to the room to rest." ”
Luo Qi glanced at Sun Mingxiang, his fingers moved, and several black and white true qi shot into Yizhanghong's body. The two chess pieces that fell on Yizhanghong's shoulder also shattered at the same time, and Yizhanghong's body was weak and collapsed on the ground. Sun Mingxiang walked downstairs in a hurry, and when she came to Yizhanghong's side, she wanted to help Yizhanghong up, but her body was still weak and weak. So she turned her head and smiled at the girl behind Dong Ping and said, "Brother and sister, girl." I'm so stupid that I don't know what to call you. ”
Dong Ping smiled: "She is younger than you, you call her sister." ”
The little girl nodded hurriedly and said, "Just call my sister." ”
"Good sister, you help my sister to help her. ”
Dong Ping nodded, and the short girl stepped forward and helped Yizhanghong up with Sun Mingxiang and went upstairs. When the three of them passed by Zhao Yixuan and the others, Xiao Shanming said gently: "Ah Xiang, you are really kind-hearted, she wants to harm you, but you still have to protect her." ”
Sun Mingxiang smiled and said, "Brother Shanming, she has a hard time. ”
Yizhang Hong looked sideways at Sun Mingxiang and said, "Sister, you are really a good girl, a good child." Sun Mingxiang hung his head and did not answer.
After the three of them disappeared at the top of the stairs, Lin Sanchuan squatted down to play with the dead man's head, and he spat out, "It's disgusting." With that, he glared fiercely at the wood that was staggering along the road.
Wood picked up his head and said urgently: "It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me." When I came, the proprietress was holding the child... The dead man's head. ”
At this time, the woman in blue holding the qin behind Zhao Yixuan said thoughtfully: "Presumably, the boss's child should have died early." If it weren't for that, how could the proprietress hold the dead man's head in her arms all day long?"
After that, the woman in blue sobbed twice to herself. Luo Qi glared at her coldly and said, "It's not promising!"
The woman in blue retorted: "Is it called a good life if you are cold all day long like a sister?"
Hearing the two quarreling, Zhao Yixuan only felt a headache. One of these two girls is sentimental, the other is seemingly unkind, and the two sisters have incompatible personalities, so they quarrel all the way. This made Zhao Yixuan hear the two arguing, so he wanted to go to the thatched house. At this time, Zhao Yixuan began to admire his father, and with one mouth, he coaxed several women in the family to obey.
Dong Ping, downstairs, kicked at the lively wood and said, "Go and prepare the wine and food." ”
Mu said, "Look at it. ”
