Chapter 40: A Visit
The next day, several craftsmen came to the "Qianxingmen" one after another to continue working, Lu Sanchuan and Gong Qing stepped forward, and only four people came to see them, so they asked more, "What about the other person?"
A craftsman was heartbroken, shook his head again and again, and said, "Lao Chen doesn't know who he provoked, when he came home from work last night, he was gouged out on the way!"
When Lu Sanchuan heard this, he felt very sorry, although he had not spoken a few words to the swarthy craftsman, but when he heard about the tragic events in the world, he couldn't help but feel sad, and at the same time lamented the injustice of heaven.
Gong Qing felt that something was wrong. He talked with the craftsman surnamed Chen for a while, and from his words and deeds, he only saw that he was loyal and honest, and a person like him should not have any enemies, but why was his eyeballs gouged out? I think it was because he saw something that he shouldn't see.
At this moment, Coco Zhang walked by holding a laundry tub.
A thought suddenly flashed through Gong Qing's mind, and he called out to Coco Zhang, "Second wife, do you remember that when you were delivering water to the craftsmen yesterday, you accidentally spilled the water, and half a bowl of water was splashed on a tanned craftsman?"
Coco Zhang's face was indifferent, she nodded, and replied casually: "Remember, what's wrong?"
Gong Qing said: "After the craftsman finished work yesterday, his eyeballs were gouged out on the way home. He had only been with this woman for two days, and he didn't know much about it, but he had a faint feeling in his heart that this woman was not as innocent as she seemed.
He guessed that this matter was done by Coco Zhang, but he also knew that Coco Zhang would never admit it, and it was even difficult to say whether it would show flaws.
Sure enough, Coco Zhang was shocked when she heard the bad news, and even couldn't hold the laundry tub, allowing the laundry tub to fall to the ground, and the laundry tub that had just been washed fell out, stained with filth. She covered her mouth with her hands, no matter her eyebrows and eyes, she could see sadness, "Oh my God, who is so cruel?" After speaking, she squatted down, straightened the laundry tub, and picked up the clothes back into the basin one by one, while blaming herself: "My sister just washed the clothes..."
Gong Qing just said: "Young master, the construction will start in a while, come and help, let's go and move the timber there." ”
Lu Sanchuan didn't notice anything wrong, so he followed.
After the two of them were some distance away from Zhang Wenxi, Gong Qingcai said softly to Lu Sanchuan, "Young master, it is none other than Miss Zhang who gouges out people's eyes. ”
When Lu Sanchuan heard this, he was about to make a move, but Gong Qing hurriedly said, "Don't make a noise! This is just a little speculation on my part." I told Miss Zhang about this just now to gauge her reaction. Although she seemed surprised, she couldn't help but overreact. If my guess is correct, she deliberately loosened the tub she was holding, firstly to match her surprised expression, and secondly to embarrass you. I heard her say, 'Sister just washed the clothes'," Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled bitterly and looked at Lu Sanchuan with sympathy, "Young Master, how could you provoke that kind of woman?"
He saw that Lu Sanchuan's face was embarrassed, and he was thinking to himself, so he persuaded again, "Young master, you have no evidence, even if you want to expose it, you are powerless, she won't admit it, it's better to send her away earlier." But I don't think she meant to hurt you. ”
Lu Sanchuan also smiled bitterly, "Miss Zhang has always been this character. I think it's better to find a reliable husband for her, and she may not be able to change. ”
Gong Qing nodded.
The two of them turned their heads together and faced the half-human-high log, but they found that a person was sitting on the wood.
The man was holding an untreated wooden stick as long and thick as his arm in the two fingers of his right hand, and he was looking at it over and over.
The first instinct of the two was that the comer was not good, but the two did not have weapons on them, and if the other party made a move, it would be difficult to stop.
Gong Qing took a step forward, protected Lu Sanchuan behind him, arched his hand, and hugged his fists, "Dare to ask the senior's surname?"
The man's two fingers exerted a slight force, and the wooden stick was immediately broken in two, simple and crisp.
Lu Sanchuan and Gong Qing were both shocked: what an amazing finger power!
I only heard the man say coldly, "What kind of thing are you, and you dare to ask my name?"
Gong Qing knew that he had met a senior who regarded himself as extremely high, but the other party did have something extraordinary, and he had nothing to say. Originally, under such circumstances, he should retreat to give up his position, but now, he was worried that if he withdrew, Lu Sanchuan would be afraid of bad luck, so he took it upon himself to report his name, "Gong Qing in Xia Qianxingmen..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's toes lifted and patted, and the half of the wooden stick broken at his foot flew upward, and then, with a random wave of the man's right hand, the half of the wooden stick shot towards Gong Qing.
Gong Qing was startled, and hurriedly raised his hands and opened them, his right palm was in front, and his left hand wrapped his right wrist behind him, and the half of the wooden stick hit his palm, but he couldn't stop the wooden stick attack, his feet stepped on the ground, and he slid backwards for half a step.
Lu Sanchuan was behind him, seeing such a situation, he immediately raised his hand to push against the back of his neck, but as soon as his palm touched the back of Gong Qing's neck, a terrifying force came from his palms. He had to retreat half a step back with his right foot to support it, which finally stopped Gong Qing's backward movement.
The half of the wooden stick on Gong Qing's palm fell, but Gong Qing was no better, his two arms hung down beside him, soft and weak, as if someone had hit his elbow socket with a hard object.
Still, he didn't intend to flinch, staring at the man, but in the blink of an eye, another half-stick flew in, impartial, and struck him in the lower abdomen.
This half of the wooden stick is obviously more ferocious than Fang Cai, although Gong Qing protected his lower abdomen with his true qi in time, his body was still held against the half of the wooden stick and slid backwards again.
Lu Sanchuan immediately exerted his strength, and after a while, he knew that if he dealt with brute force, he might be fine, but Gong Qing might be stabbed through the body on the spot by the half of the wooden stick. He put his hands on Gong Qing's back, but he used his internal force, retreated two steps against Gong Qing's light back, and then quickly swiped his hands on Gong Qing's back, grabbed Gong Qing's right shoulder with his left hand, moved to Gong Qing's right side with his strength, and kicked the half of the wooden stick away.
Gong Qing breathed a sigh of relief, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground, even if his arms were no longer weak, he still gritted his teeth and raised them, covering his lower abdomen. His back bent more and more, and finally he simply clumped together, and his head was on the ground.
Lu Sanchuan didn't have time to catch his breath, because there was another wooden stick, flying towards him. There were four craftsmen behind him, who didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't hide, but he didn't have the strength to confront the man head-on, so he had to use his skillful strength to retreat and push away the stick.
One after another, and another, until he was only a foot away from the four craftsmen, did he finally stop throwing the sticks.
The man sat on the top of the erected wood, looked at Lu Sanchuan, and shook his head, "You Long Yin Dao Lu Benchi is so domineering, he gave birth to a son, but he is such a wretch." ”
