Part 1 The Lonely Goose Against the Wind Chapter 20 The Old Owner
Zhuo Pei and his sister Zhuo Muqi led everyone back to Chuanyun Villa to resume their lives and came to the halfway. I felt unbearably hungry in my stomach, so I stopped and drank tea and ate steamed buns in a tea shed.
Zhuo Pei secretly pulled Zhuo Muqi aside and whispered: "Don't tell anyone about the girl you met in the inn for the time being, including the second grandfather." ”
Zhuo Muqi glanced at Zhuo Pei, and said angrily: "I often hear people say that red faces are bad water, but today I understand everything." The girl's appearance was suspicious, and she secretly helped Xiao Cuo escape. Why don't you mention something so obvious!"
Zhuo Muqi's words revealed dissatisfaction. It's no wonder, after all, it was his own brother who died. In normal times, Zhuo Pei's words are all followed.
Zhuo Pei felt embarrassed for a while, and he couldn't say anything if he was in a loss.
Seeing Zhuo Pei like this, Zhuo Muqi sighed and didn't know what to say.
Just as he was resting comfortably, he heard a series of hurried horses' hooves in the distance. After a while, I saw a cloud-piercing disciple wearing the word "filial piety" coming.
The disciple turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said eagerly: "Young Master Pei, Miss Mu Qi, the second old village owner ordered the two to hurry back to the villa. The old owner is about to leave the customs. ”
Zhuo Song, the old owner of the village, has been practicing in retreat since the beginning of the year, trying to comprehend the tenth layer of the highest internal strength of the mountain villa, the Water Dragon Yin. Now the news of the imminent exit from the customs is suddenly out of the country, how can it not be shocking!
Zhuo Pei immediately made a decision and ordered Zhuo Muqi and the twenty-eight disciples to follow him first, and the disciples of Qi Lianping and Hanshan followed suit.
Zhuo Pei's arrangement was different from inside and outside, which caused dissatisfaction among Qi Lianping and others. But they didn't show it, and after seeing Zhuo Pei and the others leave, they had no intention of rushing.
Instead, he did not move, and gathered everyone in Hanshan to discuss the next step.
Gao Shu regretted: "We really shouldn't have taken refuge in Chuanyun Villa, even if we really help Zhuo Bai to bring down Zhuo Song in the future, it will be difficult for us to get ahead according to the current situation." ”
The surrounding Hanshan disciples deeply agreed. Qi Lian's face was heavy, and he didn't say a word, but his eyes were shining. said that he was thinking about Gao Shu's words.
Qi Lianping was originally Zhen Yi's first apprentice, but he was confused by Lu Hanxing and betrayed his master. Now he has become an outcast and is sent to the fence. It's not so much about complaining, it's about what's next?
After thinking for a long time, Qi Lianping said: "It's better to go to Yuanyue Hall, the head Ye Fengcheng is bold and faithful." The people who take refuge will always be used only by measure, and we have gone to the day when there is no future. ”
Everyone deeply agreed with Qi Lianping's words, and they were all excited. I forgot that I hadn't said goodbye to Zhuo Bai yet. There is no beginning and no end.
Let's say that Zhuo Pei and his party rushed back to Chuanyun Villa non-stop. Enter through the West Corner Gate, pass through the Inner Instrument Gate, and go straight to the backyard.
After Zhuo Pei bathed and changed clothes, he first went to find Zhuo Bai to return to life. Then wait with the rest of the villa for the old owner to come out of the mountain.
Blood disciples waited in the hall, and ordinary disciples waited on the martial arts platform.
It was midday, just when everyone was waiting a little impatiently. There was a long howl nearby, and then Zhuo Song, as light as a swallow, swept over the heads of everyone on the stage, stepped on the corner of the eaves of the Neiyi Gate, and flew into the hall to stand in front of the throne of the owner.
The disciples who were present all knelt down and bowed, and the mountain shouted, "The owner of the village is more old than the old pine of Nanshan, and the blessing is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea." Zhuo Song accepted it calmly, and his face was radiant.
Zhuo Song is past the age of sixteen and has no old age. The beard and hair are all white, and the spirit is strong. When everyone got up, Zhuo Song ordered everyone to go down to rest, leaving Zhuo Bai, Zhuo Han, Zhuo Run, Zhuo Pei and Zhuo Muqi alone.
Facing the direct blood relatives, Zhuo Song no longer had any joy on his face, and asked: "How long do you want to hide it from me? Why didn't anyone tell me about the deaths of Zhuo Hong and Zhuo Yuan?
Zhuo Song's words were fierce, and everyone present trembled.
Zhuo Han, as the future owner of the village, had an unshirkable responsibility, and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to grandpa, it's not that the grandchildren deliberately hide it, but that you are worried that you will be sad and distracted and cause you to go crazy. If that's the case, then the grandchildren's sins are too great!"
Zhuo Song glanced at his younger brother Zhuo Bai again, and his eyes revealed a sense of accountability.
Zhuo Bai knew what his brother meant, and said in a deep voice: "My brother has been actively dealing with this matter. Then he told Zhuo Song the cause of the whole thing, Xiangxiang told Zhuo Song in detail.
After listening to Zhuo Bai's words, Zhuo Song stroked his goatee lightly and asked: "There is a big problem with the deaths of Zhuo Hong and Zhuo Yuan, and the biggest suspicion is that there is no witness. Whether it is Xiao Cuo's so-called 'killing people and killing mouths', or acting in front of you. It's just what you see. ”
Seeing that Zhuo Muqi was about to speak, Zhuo Pei hurriedly said: "Grandpa is really insightful and reasonable. I don't know what Grandpa will do next?"
Zhuo Pei's strange behavior, Zhuo Song saw it. I thought to myself, "Why didn't Pei'er let Mu Qi speak?
After the meeting, I had to talk to Mu Qi alone. ”
After listening to Zhuo Pei's words, Zhuo Song replied: "The old man wants to meet Xiao Cuo and see what the villain in your mouth looks like!"
The crowd was frightened and looked at each other. Zhuo Han was surprised: "Grandpa, no matter what, Xiao Cuo is a murderer! If you meet him, I'm afraid the rumors will be difficult to hear." ”
"Bow first and then soldier, is the right way. It is not possible to convict another person without witnesses and the physical evidence is vague. Zhuo Song changed his words and reminded: "More importantly, our goal is not to achieve justice, but to find out the real culprits who killed Hong'er and Yu'er. ”
Everyone didn't dare to refute, and they were silent for a while. Zhuo Pei glanced at Zhuo Bai, and saw that he was expressionless, so he had to put away his thoughts about trying him to persuade the old owner to take back his life.
Seeing that no one objected, Zhuo Song ordered: "Run'er, it's up to you to find Xiao Cuo." Let's see if he has the guts to meet the old man!"
Zhuo Run asked, "What if he doesn't come?"
"If he refuses to come, tell him that the Piercing Cloud Villa will definitely make him pay for the debt! If he is willing to come, you will let him come with you. Don't let the Cloud Piercing Disciples hurt him along the way. ”
Zhuo Run took the order to leave and went down to pack his bags.
The meeting was almost over, and everyone slowly exited the hall. Only Zhuo Bai did not leave.
"The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is Bianzhou. Zhuo Song watched the withering of the next generation and couldn't help but sigh.
"Is my brother blaming my brother for not taking good care of Zhuo Hong and Zhuo Yuan? Zhuo Bai deliberately ignored the meaning of Zhuo Song's poem, and avoided the important and took the responsibility on the surface.
Zhuo Song stared into the distance and sighed, "Brother Bai." You and I have been brothers for decades, how can I not know what you are thinking in your heart! You know that I mean Zhuo Han's generation, who have been comfortable for too long and have no real defense, will be easily killed. ”
Zhuo Bai hung his head, but only sighed and did not answer. It was really not speculative for more than half a sentence, Zhuo Song felt bored and left the hall directly.
Zhuo Bai stared at the back of Zhuo Song leaving, his eyes were sharp, as if he was not looking at his brother but at the enemy.
The grievances of the brothers are like a mess, and they are still messy.
In Boyang City, pedestrians are bustling, and street vendors are shouting one after another. Under the protection of the Eagle Yang Gang, ordinary people work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
At this point, an unusual person came.
Xiao Cuo trekked through mountains and rivers, and came to Boyang City without danger along the way.
changed the appearance of unkempt and bearded hair in the past. He was dressed in white and wore a hood with black wire mesh hanging from the brim. The beard is all shaved, and only the upper lip has a two-petal mustache.
Xiao Cuo was dressed up like this, walking in the lively market. It's not running for your life at all, it's like you're traveling.
According to the content inquired from pedestrians, Zuixianju is the most famous restaurant in Boyang City. Xiao Cuo carried the silver he had stolen from the senior brothers in his arms, and he didn't panic at all, and went straight to the Drunken Immortal Residence.
When I first arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence, I couldn't help but be attracted by its peculiar shape. The Drunken Immortal Residence looks like a pagoda and has a total of six floors. Bells are hung on the eaves of each floor, and when the wind blows, a crisp and pleasant sound sounds.
Xiao Cuo suddenly felt a great increase in interest and stepped into the Drunken Immortal Residence. Soon, an enthusiastic shopkeeper came up and took out a picture to kindly introduce the prices of various seats for Xiao Cuo. Xiao Cuo took a fancy to the position on the top floor by the window at a glance.
The shopkeeper glanced at the sword that Xiao Cuo was holding, and his face was embarrassed, "Can the guest officer change his position, someone has already booked it there." ”
Xiao knew that it wasn't the case when he heard the tone of the shopkeeper, but he didn't want to make a fuss and agreed. I chose another seat on the top floor.
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and led Xiao Cuo up to the top floor. I found a position a little closer to the window and asked Xiao Cuo to sit down and order.
Xiao Cuo looked around, saw that there was no special person, and sat down reassuringly. I ordered a few famous dishes casually and asked for a pot of good tea.
The shopkeeper quickly brought a pot of hot tea. When Xiao Cuo was seriously sipping tea, a familiar figure came into view.
Gan Huai still wore a hat and clothes, and slowly came to the top floor with a green bamboo pole. Xiao Cuo originally wanted to invite him to his table and eat together. Before he could speak, Gan Huai was already sitting by the window.
Frightened, the shopkeeper was so busy bowing and begging Ganhuai to leave this position.
Gan Huai didn't think there was anything wrong, and said with a smile: "No one sits in this position at all, you are obviously a fool." I don't want to charge a little benefit fee. ”
The shopkeeper cried with a sad face and begged: "This hero, please do it." You really can't sit in this position, don't give yourself trouble, and we'll be unlucky. ”
"Phew, where did the gangsters come from so boldly and threaten you nakedly. Don't be afraid, I'll call the shots for you. Gan Huai scolded as he pointed to the recipe and ordered food.
With his intuition, Xiao Cuo knew that there was a good show to watch next, so he sat down again, holding a teacup and waiting for the show to begin.
Sure enough, after a while, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Residence came up in person. After all, the shopkeeper has seen a lot of the world, and the taste is different as soon as he opens his mouth.
The shopkeeper said: "This hero, I know that you are not afraid. Listen to my last advice here, you better move your position! Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. ”
Gan Huai laughed and said loudly: "In this way, I want to see what it means to be 'very serious'!"
As soon as Gan Huai's words fell, he heard someone shouting: "Who is so ashamed!"
What interesting things will happen to Gan Huai? Will Xiao Cuo on the side help? Please see the next chapter "Eagle Yang".
