Chapter 15 Together
The old man stared at Pei Manzhen for a long time, Pei Manzhen was uncomfortable with him, so he made another gesture and said respectfully: "Thank you for the rescue just now." The old man just stared at her and laughed weirdly, and then came to the end: "Didn't you say it just now, don't thank me." Get up, hey, hey, hey. With that, he reached out to help Pei Manzhen. Pei Manzhen only felt that the old man's calloused hands were uncomfortable touching him, and he unconsciously retracted his hands.
The old man stared at Pei Manzhen again, Pei Manzhen only felt that his face was hot, and he said, "Senior." Seeing that the old man didn't answer, he said again: "It's time for the younger generation to leave." He turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, before he had gone far, he felt a strong wind behind him, and when he reacted, it was already too late, only to feel a numbness in his back shoulders, and a force passed through his back, straight through his body, and his feet became heavier and heavier like lead, until he couldn't move half a step again. Pei Man really knew that the old man was holding him from behind, but he didn't understand why he was like this, so he listened to the old man's words, and looked at his movements, which was quite frivolous.
After a long time, there was no sound in his ears, Pei Man was really surprised, and there was a trace of heat on the back of his neck, as if an electric current was swimming all over his body, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps. I only heard the old man suddenly laugh and say, "Well, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant." It turned out that he put his nose on the back of Pei Manzhen's neck and sniffed her aroma. Pei Manzhen was shocked, this old man walked without making a sound, he was really like a ghost. And at this time, the other party's frivolous behavior could not be clearer, picking flowers! Pei Manzhen gasped when he thought of this, and asked tremblingly: "What are you going to do!" "Hehe, grandpa has lived for most of his life and tasted all the beauties in the world, but there are very few people with such appearance and qualifications as you." Hehe, you can't bear to provoke grandpa. Pei Man was really afraid, and he expected that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe today, and he made up his mind that if this old thief dared to belittle himself, he would immediately bite his tongue and commit suicide, so as not to suffer his humiliation.
The old man walked up to Pei Manzhen, and saw that her eyebrows gradually changed from tight to flat, knowing that he had made up his mind to die, but he couldn't bear it, so he said: "Don't want to live anymore, it's just that, grandpa is not difficult for you." It's just that grandpa has saved your life, how should you repay it?" Pei Man really saw that the situation had changed, and the old man didn't use himself strongly, so he asked rhetorically: "What do you want?" "Grandpa is old, and there are many inconveniences in daily life, if you are grateful, then you will serve grandpa for three years, and grandpa promises not to move you at all." If not, even if you die, you will not be left with a whole corpse. Pei Man really expected that he would die today, but he didn't expect the other party to change his mind halfway, which surprised her. However, at this time, there is a chance to live, and the other party promises not to infringe on him, and anyone who wants to use his martial arts will also speak. You might as well accept him first, and when the time is ripe, then think of another way. Thinking of this, Pei Manzhen said: "I can promise you, but you have to be the one who speaks." "The old man always counts when he speaks!" The old man saw Pei Manzhen nodding in agreement, and promised with great joy: "This is very good! Little doll, grandpa will solve the acupuncture point for you." Stretched out his hand and rubbed Pei Manzhen's armpit a few times, Pei Manzhen saw that when he was unraveling his acupoints, his hands were rubbed under his breasts, although he knew that he was rubbing his breast acupoints, but his heart was still extremely uncomfortable, and his eyes were filled with tears. At first, the old man took advantage of the acupuncture points, but when he saw that Pei Manzhen was like this, he felt compassion, backhanded, and immediately untied Pei Manzhen's acupoints. Although he is not a top master, he does not need to use the most primitive method of massage to solve the acupuncture point with his skills.
After the old man explained the acupoint for Pei Manzhen, he asked her to go with him, although Pei Manzhen was worried about Zhang San in his heart, and also wanted to leave a mark for Zhang San along the way, but the old man was very strict, so he could only go with him first, and then wait for the opportunity to find an opportunity. Along the way, the old man spoke a lot, quite able to speak, Pei Manzhen learned that the old man's real name is Liu Bofang, a person from Jiangnan, a good martial artist, and he was handsome when he was young, but he became like this after encountering an accident. Pei Manzhen asked him what had changed, but Liu Bofang didn't answer, and asked him where the previous group of purple-clothed girls came from, and they just passed by, saying that they were some evil outsiders, just blindly praising how good they were, and thinking that they also wanted to brag about themselves in front of beautiful women.
The two went all the way south, and after a few days, they came to a city where the city was located, Pei Manzhen looked up at the plaque on the city wall and knew that he had arrived in Shijiazhuang. It was still Mongol territory, and the Han Chinese had to be carefully examined and interrogated when they entered the city. Liu Bofang didn't want to cause trouble, so Pei Manzhen pretended to be a father and daughter who entered the city. Unexpectedly, when the two were about to pass through the city gate, they were stopped by the leader of the garrison. The leader looked Pei Manzhen up and down repeatedly, obviously seeing her beauty, he had evil intentions in his heart, so he said to Liu Bofang: "This woman is so good-looking, but you old man is so ugly, who will believe that she is your daughter when you say it!" Liu Bofang didn't want to make trouble for no reason, but when he saw Pei Manzhen's eyes flashing, he was afraid that this woman would take advantage of the chaos to escape, so he stretched out his hand to grab Pei Manzhen and shouted: "Official, official, this is really my daughter." Pei Manzhen originally planned to wait for the Mongolian soldiers to pull him over, so he said that he was held hostage by Liu Bofang, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape when the two sides fought, but he didn't think that Liu Bofang had already expected her heart and grabbed her first. Pei Manzhen felt that his forearm was slightly numb, and it was obvious that he had been blocked by Liu Bofang, so he stopped making a sound.
The head of the garrison didn't listen, but said: "An ugly old man like you would give birth to such a handsome girl, who are you fooling!" After speaking, he actually wanted to force Pei Manzhen. Liu Bofang saw that today's facts were difficult to settle, so he took out a big ingot from his arms, quietly stuffed it to the other party, and whispered with a smile: "The official is good, let the two of us go over." The leader took the silver, looked at Liu Pei and the others, smiled and retracted to pull Pei Manzhen's hand, turned to the guards and signaled to open the door and release them. Liu Bofang thanked him and hurriedly pulled Pei Manzhen into the city, but he didn't notice that there was an eerie aura in the leader's smile.
Enter the city, but see that everything is fresh, although Shijiazhuang is not as prosperous as Yanjing, but it is also a famous city. The weather was fine on this day, and although it had fallen to the Mongols, the Han people had not been killed, so there were many pedestrians passing by the streets, and it looked more lively than Yanjing. The two of them walked to a market after a short time, it was past noon, Liu Bofang just wanted to find a restaurant to rest as soon as possible, so he pulled Pei Manzhen to keep hurrying. Seeing that there was an inn in front of him, Pei Manzhen walked slower and slower, turned his head to look at her, and saw that she looked back at a stall selling rock sugar gourds not far away from time to time, so he asked: "What, female doll, do you want to eat rock sugar gourds?" Pei Manzhen smiled slightly, pointed to the inn in front and said, "It's nothing, let's go." In fact, when she was a child, she used to visit here with her family, when her father bought a string of rock sugar gourds for herself, and that was the first time she had eaten this kind of thing, and she felt that the aftertaste was endless. At this time, more than ten years have passed, and the sweet taste of the rock sugar gourd is still swirling in the mouth, but things are wrong, her family is ruined, and her parents and brothers are tragically poisoned by the Mongols, how can she not feel emotional.
