Chapter 43 Chongming Island

Zhong Qing's eyes widened and looked at the old scar, and it happened that the old scar also leaned over at this time, the mutilated skin, the face covered with scars, and the twisted and wrinkled neck made Zhong Qing shiver. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Qing once heard his father Zhong Wanhou talk about the "corpse collectors", saying that they are responsible for fishing for people's corpses in the river, some of these corpses are unfortunately drowned, and some are killed for money, and the people who are fished up have relatives and friends to claim them, and the corpse collector will collect some remuneration and return the corpse to the corpse recipient, if they can't find the person who claims it, the corpse collector will turn the property on the deceased into his own, and then burn the corpse and find a secluded place to bury it.

The corpse collectors never trample on corpses, because they think that their livelihood is due to these corpses, so whether they can find the sufferer or not, the corpse collectors will treat the corpse kindly, even if it is burned and buried, it is very solemn, and they will never act in a sloppy manner, they believe that the soul of the dead will watch over them from heaven.

Old Scar is a corpse digger, Zhong Qing secretly looked at him again, not surprised at all, in her opinion, people who do this kind of business must also be ugly.

At this time, the boat was halfway crossed, and remembering that Youling was lost by his side again, Ye Cheng couldn't help but feel very guilty, and even began to doubt whether his original insistence was really good for Youling.

"Qing'er, Youling may be right, I want to be good to her, in fact, she doesn't need it, if she was by Hong Youtian's side, she probably wouldn't have suffered so much, I left her behind, but I couldn't protect her, what is the difference between this and harming him?" Ye Cheng looked at Zhong Qing and said a little depressed.

Zhong Qing comforted: "Brother Ye, don't think so, although I haven't seen Hong Youtian, but I heard you describe it as just a cunning and treacherous bandit, if Youling continues to follow him, sooner or later he will become the same person as him, there is nothing wrong with you doing this, besides, the first time Youling disappeared was just taken away by the master and Grandpa Dai, this time maybe there is no danger." ”

Ye Cheng nodded, smiled at Zhong Qing, and looked up, but saw that an island on the opposite side was already faintly visible, and the island seemed so calm in the moonlight, only a few fires were flickering in a few places.

"Master, this is Chongming Island, right?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Yes, it is Chongming Island, as soon as you go ashore, you will be able to meet the island owner Wei Chong, I have never admired a few people in Lu Li's walk in the rivers and lakes, but this Wei Island Lord is one of them, you should be more respectful when the time comes." Lu Li said.

The old scar held the boat and sang faintly at this time: "How easy it is to come and how late to go, half in my heart and half in my eyebrows." After the door covers the flowers and the spring goes, the window culvert wakes up when the waning moon wakes up. It is as soft as ten thousand acres of grass, and chaotic as a thousand thousand turns. Except for the Five Marquis Singing and Dancing Land, where in the world is not with us?"

Ye Cheng listened to this poem, as if he was a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had heard it, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the old scar: "How can a person with scars and a vicious appearance sing such beautiful poems? Who is he?"

The old scar reminded Ye Cheng of Xie Nu, it turned out that there were so many things in this world, which needed to be buried in his heart and not mentioned to others.

If the land of Chongming is a paradise free from war, then Chongming Island can be called a fairyland on earth. The moonlight is bright, and when you look at this island again, it is like an upside-down bowl lying quietly in the sea, and the old scar's boat has arrived on the shore, but Ye Cheng's heart can't help but be nervous.

At this time, Lu Li yawned and said: "It's finally here, let's hurry up and go ashore, I went to visit my old friend so late, I haven't done it before, this Dai Lao'er is causing me trouble." ”

Ye Cheng landed on the shore first, and then reached out to help Zhong Qing go ashore, but the last one to come up was Lao Scar.

"Boy. ”

"Senior Scar, what's the matter?" Ye Cheng didn't expect Scar to call him suddenly, because during the time on the boat, except for singing a few poems, Old Scar never took the initiative to talk to anyone.

"When we get there...... Be careful. There was some hesitation in Scar's voice.

Ye Cheng looked at the eyes of the old scar, and found that this was probably the only place on the old scar that had not left a scar, and he was reluctant to take a few more looks before, but at this moment he found that the old scar's eyes were actually not so cold, on the contrary, a trace of warmth revealed in it made Ye Cheng even a little surprised and moved.

Ye Cheng didn't speak, just smiled at the old scar, and then nodded.

Old Scar didn't go too far with Lu Li, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing, he stopped in a forest.

"What, aren't you going with us to see Wei Chong?" asked Drunken Taibai Luli.

"I'm right here, go ahead. Old Scar said coldly, found a dead tree, and sat down.

Lu Li knew Lao Scar's temper, and what he didn't want to do must not be forced, this character was very similar to himself.

The three of them walked in the direction of the lights on Chongming Island. It had been three years since Lu Li last visited the island, and now everything on the island didn't seem to change much in the night.

The climate on the island is very humid, and the fruit trees everywhere give off a fruity aroma in the summer, but the three are clearly not in the mood to enjoy the view.

"Master, I don't know why this island master Wei is respected, and even you are full of praise for him?" Ye Cheng asked as he walked.

"Do you know Meng Weijun?" Lu Li did not answer Ye Cheng's question, but asked rhetorically.

"The apprentice once heard his mother say, this Meng Weijun was a nobleman of Qi during the Warring States Period, the son of Jingguo Jun Tianying, and Fengyi Xuecheng, this person is good at being hospitable, but he can't be fully loyal to the king, and he can't win the trust of the people, and he can't make friends for personal gain, and he is fake and generous in the name of Bo and good, and he uses Jun's Lu to sell his reputation and support his customers, but he doesn't care about wisdom and foolishness, and he doesn't choose whether to be or not, so most of the people around him are roosters and dogs......"

Ye Cheng wanted to continue, but found that Lu Li was staring at him with surprised eyes, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he quickly stopped.

"Is that really what your mother said?" Lu Li asked in his strange voice.

"Positive..... Exactly, master, what did you just say about Meng Weijun?" Ye promised.

"It's okay. Lu Li turned around and said no more.

Ye Chengxin said that he must have made the master unhappy, but he was also confused about which sentence it was.

Zhong Qing has been admiring the fruit trees in the forest, and by the way, he also picked a few fruits in the low place, walked up to Ye Cheng and said, "Brother Ye, eat some fruits, they are all fresh." ”

Ye Cheng took it with a smile, but he was in the mood to eat.

The distance between the lights got closer and closer, and a huge village appeared in front of him, where the residence of Wei Chong, the owner of Chongming Island, was located.

As soon as the three of them walked into the deer in front of Dazhai, they heard someone shouting: "What kind of person!"

Ye Cheng and the others stopped, but when they heard the sound of drums, more than a dozen minions poured in from around Dazhai, each with bright weapons in front of the three of them.

Lu Li frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Presumptuous! Don't you even know the old man, don't you quickly retreat, and return to your island master Wei Chong, just say that the drunk is too white and Lu has left." ”

Among the minions, one of them walked up to him with a torch, and with the light of the fire, he recognized that it was indeed drunk Taibai Lu Li, and couldn't help shouting, and hurriedly smiled: "It turned out to be Lu senior, you are here, you haven't been here for a while, and you haven't recognized it when it's dark, forgive your sins, forgive your sins." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the old man is looking for your village owner to discuss important matters, get out of the way quickly. Lu Li said that he was going to go inside.

"Stay, old man. ”

"What?" Lu Li snorted, he didn't expect that someone on Chongming Island would dare to stop him.

"It's not too small to embarrass you old, you see this time this is not a person who came, these two little ones don't know each other, the owner of the island has an order, but anyone who enters the island, no matter who it is, must unload the blade, you see ......" The little minion holding the torch smiled and stretched out his hand.
