Chapter 14: Handsome Characters
When everyone was about to cross the bridge, Ye Cheng came to the river, took out a small teapot from his backpack, poured some river water on the river, and then fastened the small teapot and put it into the backpack. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Fu saw that this teapot was not in his own shop, what was he doing with it, and he was puzzled for a while.
The group crossed the bridge, and the wooden planks were trampled by everyone, and Leader Zheng thought that he was almost pulled up by Xie Nu just now, and he couldn't help but still have palpitations. After crossing the bridge, it was an uphill road, and before they had gone far, Ye Cheng and the others heard Lang Lang's voice floating.
"The aftermath is pleasing to its beauty, and the heart is oscillating but not pleasant. Unscrupulous media to pick up the joy, relying on microwaves and excuses. May the sincerity be the first, and the jade will be appreciated. ”
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, but saw that there were some houses distributed in the middle of the mountainside, and the smoke was curling, and the sound came from here, presumably to the location of the Jade Dragon Village.
"This is Jade Dragon Village, right?" Ye Cheng asked.
"The Jade Scorpion Niangniang's residence is at the highest point of Yulonggang, which is where the thirteen lords of the Jade Dragon Village are stationed. Xenu replied.
"This voice is so good, it's just chewing words, and I can't understand what it means. "Qi Dahai said in front of the sea.
Ye Cheng smiled and said to the sea: "This poem is written by Cao Zhi, the third son of Cao Cao, King of Wei and Mrs. Bian during the Three Kingdoms period. ”
"It's amazing, Brother Ye, you know so much, this poet must also be a great character. Qi Dahai admired.
"Phew, what a great character, this person is that Hong Youtian!" Xie Nu said fiercely.
At this moment, the valley suddenly remembered the crisp laughter, and the echo lasted for a long time. Ye Cheng and the others raised their eyes to look, but saw a handsome young man dressed as a scholar walking out of the cottage, looking about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and leading a seven or eight-year-old girl in his right hand.
"The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the Pengmen is now open for you. In the remote mountains, it is gratifying to welcome distinguished guests today. The scholar said as he slowly descended the stone steps.
Ye Cheng looked at this scholar carefully, and said secretly in his heart: "I can't complain that this person can jump from a small village owner to a deputy chief village owner, and I can't complain that Xie Nu is so jealous of him, but looking at this person's appearance, he is indeed a handsome person." ”
"Brother Xie, won't you introduce these two to me?" the scholar smiled.
"Hong Youtian, you don't have to be oily, the owner of the village is not here today, and our account is slowly being settled. Xie Nu said coldly.
It turned out that this white-faced scholar was really Hong Youtian, the deputy head of Yulonggang.
"It's really not easy for you to beat me twice in a row. In the past two years, no one has been able to do it. If it weren't for Brother Xie's help, I guess they would have died a long time ago. Hong Youtian didn't think it was wrong.
"What the lord of Hongzhai said is not bad, they all say that your trap is "the king of Hades three times", but I never thought that after seeing each other twice, this last sight is your lord of Hongzhai. Ye Cheng said with a smile.
Hong Youtian saw that he laughed, waved his hand and said: "Those are all names given by the brothers to raise love, how can my organ be so powerful, such a name, I dare not accept it." ”
At this time, the little girl beside Hong Youtian interjected: "Brother Hong, since the guests are here, why don't you bring them into the village to use tea." “
Hong Youtian laughed and said: "It's still Youling sister who is right, seeing that I just spoke, I was so careless, I really atoned for my sins, everyone hurry up and follow me into the village to talk about it." ”
"Don't pretend to be a fool, copy the guy!" Xie Nu opened the formation, drew his knife in his hand, and was about to fight Hong Youtian for his life, but was stopped by Ye Cheng.
"Brother Xie, don't worry, if you come, you will be safe, since the deputy chief owner of the village has such hospitality, we must not live up to the good intentions, and it is indeed dry mouth along the way, it is better to take a break with tea, and it is not too late to fight again when the physical strength is restored." Ye Cheng looked at Hong You Tiandao.
Hong Youtian smiled at the corner of his mouth, but did not answer, but only made an invitation. Ye Cheng did not shirk, and walked forward, Xie Nu and Qi Dahai escorted Zheng Leader and Li Fu and his wife one after another.
After Hong Youtian was promoted to the deputy head of the village, he no longer lived in the thirteen villages, but his earlier residence was still reserved for him. But seeing that this residence is backed by mountains and rivers, the dragon is beautiful, and the glazed tiles are even more different from other houses.
When he came to the door, Hong Youtian stood still and invited Ye Cheng to enter first. Ye Cheng didn't shirk either, he hugged his fists and stepped in, Xie Nu was worried about Hong You's angel cheating, but when he saw that Ye Cheng had already entered, he had no choice but to follow in.
But inside the house, the sunlight shone through the carved windows, and the green light shone slightly. It turns out that in this small house, there are a lot of precious jade objects on display, and this green light is emitted by these jade objects, which is particularly eye-catching under this light.
Li Fu is a person who knows the goods, and sees that on the wooden frame and desk, the jade inkstone, the jade holding pot, the cup, the hanging chime, and the round carving of people and beasts are varied, and the forms are different, and the workmanship is very exquisite.
Hong Youtian sat in the center, beckoned Ye Cheng and the others to sit down, and said with a smile: "The cold house has been idle for a long time, and it is neglected to clean, and I still look forward to you Haihan." ”
Ye Cheng had already kept the situation of the house in mind at this time, and said with a smile: "Lord Hongzhai is good Yaxing, the jade in this room is really a must." ”
"What is this, all the jade artifacts of Hong are given by the owner of the village, and the real top grade is in the residence on the top of the mountain. ”
Qi Dahai said angrily on the side: "Do you know how much blood and sweat these jade stones cost the people in our village, you are elegant here!"
Ye Cheng said: "Yes, Lord Hongzhai, he is just a passer-by in the next place, but he met this Li Fu couple in the Gudao Restaurant to steal beams and change pillars, and deceived the villagers. I had heard that the owner of the village was kind and compassionate, and often gave medicine to help the villagers, so I thought that there must be some misunderstanding, so I took the liberty to go to the village to meet in order to seek the truth. ”
Hong Youtian listened, smiled, noncommittal, and looked at the young Ling beside him, the little girl understood, and went out to make tea first.
"I don't hide it from you, the owner of the village and I don't know about this jade transaction, if there is such a thing, it must be done by the people below, and it has nothing to do with us. "Hong Youtian waited for Youling to go out and said to Ye Cheng and the others.
"Fart! It's just fart! Your medicine is getting more and more expensive, you can get it with one or two pieces of jade wool, but now you have to use four pieces of high-grade jade, how can we have so many silver taels to give that villager, we have to use this strategy as a last resort, it's not forced by you, it's clean now!" Li Fu couldn't help but shout loudly beside him.
Ye Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Lord Hongzhai, what Brother Li Fu said is the truth?"
Hong Youtian picked up a jade pot, played with it in his hand, and said: "Yes, this is a life-saving medicine, of course the price is expensive, but the owner of the village has never sold it to you, if you think that life is cheaper than medicine, you can not buy it." ”
"You!" Li Fu was so angry that he wanted to stand up and reason with Hong Youtian.
Ye Cheng stopped and said: "Medicine can save lives, of course, it is important, but it is probably not a good strategy to sit on the ground and raise the price like this, besides, it is a little strange for the villagers to have abdominal pain, has the owner of Hongzhai ever thought about it?"
As soon as these words came out, Hong Youtian's face suddenly changed a little, and he saw him slowly put down the jade holding pot, looked at Ye Cheng and said: "What this young man said, forgive Hong for being dull and incomprehensible. ”
"Brother Qi, when did this Yulonggang villager start getting sick?" Ye Cheng ignored Hong Youtian, but turned around and asked Qi Dahai.
"It's been about two years, it's not together, but one after another, Uncle Li and his little grandson from our village went to the well outside the village to fetch water, and they fell ill after they came back. Qi Dahai recalled.
"As far as I know, it was when this jade scorpion came to Yulonggang two years ago, and it happened that the villagers had already started to get sick at this time, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Ye Cheng asked.
Qi Dahai touched his bare head and said: "The people in the village got sick before the arrival of the jade scorpion Niangniang, what can it have to do with this?"
"The magic is here, if the jade scorpion comes first, and you get sick later, even if there is no evidence, you will definitely wonder if there is a connection. But now that you are sick first, and the jade scorpion is coming, naturally you will not think of this, but will be grateful to the jade scorpion for treating you. Ye Chengfu said.
"You mean......" Li Fu seemed to hear something, and asked eagerly.
Ye Cheng smiled slightly, and then said: "When today's divine doctor is the first to recommend the "Holy Hand Medicine King" Dai Sigong, but even if he is an old man, I am afraid that he can only prescribe the right medicine. Regardless of this jade scorpion martial arts, but the medical treatment technique may not be as good as Dai Sigong, and she has never lived in Yulonggang, how can she be able to cure this stubborn disease with an antidote when she first arrives?"
Xie Nu said coldly on the side: "Are you saying that the Jade Scorpion Niangniang had planned it long before coming to Yulonggang, and sent people to Yulonggang to give medicine in the water in advance, and waited for the villagers to set up camp here when they became ill, and exchanged the antidote for jade?"
Ye Cheng smiled and nodded, turning his gaze to Hong Youtian.
Hong Youtian sighed and said: "The Jade Scorpion Niangniang is kind-hearted, and she only helped when she saw the pity of the villagers here. ”
Xie Nu didn't believe Ye Cheng's words either, and asked, "Ye Cheng, you speculate so much about Niangniang, do you have any evidence?"
Ye Cheng was not in a hurry, took out the small teapot from the backpack with a smile, put it on the table and said: "When I crossed the bridge, I took this Yulong River water, and now I want to ask the master of Hongzhai to taste it, whether it can be used as evidence, I will know after drinking." ”
