Chapter Ninety-Six: Wine and Food, Bitter Pleasure

The mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are empty, the water is warm and moist, and the spring and summer alternate, it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the warbler cries and swallows, but everything today is incompatible with this great scenery······ The dark clouds in the sky brought the whole city of Yangzhou into its embrace, and the people did not like this scene very much, because it weighed down the people, and the vulture now did not know where it had flown now, but its miserable curse could be heard.

Suburbs of Yangzhou City······ Zhou Lishui and Ling Yuehua hid behind the broken temple house and carefully observed the movement in the temple through the gaps, the howling wind ruthlessly beat the lonely broken temple, the torrential rain poured madly into the barren wilderness, the temple with broken ancient walls was crumbling in the rain, the slender figure reflected in the half-covered window, the dry grass swaying in the wind and rain seemed lonely, the flickering lightning made people shudder, and the endless thunder was terrifying······ All of this is like a thrilling song of sorrow in the air······

There was a faint gloomy and helpless voice in the broken temple: "Senior Brother Ming, Senior Brother Tianyi asked me to pass on a message to you, he said that the eldest husband needs to be informal if he wants to do big things, and the matter of you pretending to be a beggar has now been exposed, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Senior Brother Tianyi means ······" The road was dark and stopped.

Lu Ming hurriedly asked: "Senior Brother Tianyi, what instructions do you have, although Senior Brother Tianyi and I were not born to the same parents, but the master and his old man are as kind to us as a mountain, and we are like brothers to Senior Brother Tianyi, if you have anything to say, Senior Brother, I will definitely follow it······

Through the gap, Lu Lu's dark eyes leaked a helpless and sinister expression: "He... He... He asks you to be on the safe side... Except for the group of beggars... Not a single ······ alive" A bolt of lightning swept through the air like a dragon, and then there was a muffled thunder that made the ghost cry and howl wolf.

Lu Ming's heart trembled and said, "This... He... They... But they're all innocent?··· It's not going to die, is it? Junior Brother··· The"

"Whoa" Ling Yuehua was startled, and unexpectedly knocked a piece of gravel to the ground, Lu Ming Dynasty secretly glanced at Lu and suddenly jumped out, coming behind the broken temple.

Behind the ruined temple, there was nothing suspicious except for the torrential rain, Lu Ming's vigilant eyes purred, regardless of the invasion of the storm, his feet jumped lightly to the roof, and his keen eyes observed that there was no one around, and then he returned to the ruined temple again.

The altar in the ruined temple, which had long been missing a leg, fell due north, on the side of the altar, the statue of the god could no longer be seen to be the god on the road after the erosion of the years, and the pile of dry wood in the corner seemed to have not been burned out, leaving only a little dust······ You can see that it was once inhabited.

Lu Yin nodded slightly at Lu Ming and said, "Senior brother, I'm waiting for your good news······ After saying that, the wind under his feet disappeared into the storm.

The lightning in the sky illuminated the air extremely bright from time to time, and it was vaguely seen that Zhou Lishui and Ling Yuehua were hiding behind a boulder.

Through the sound of the rain, there was a cacophony in the distance, and it could be concluded that there were at least five people.

I only heard one of them say happily: "There is wine today and drunk today, and there is no wine to eat rain today, haha·· Haha······ Today's harvest is good, and I met a kind guest officer and got a pot of good wine, and my brothers can enjoy it."

Another answered: "I'm lucky, I begged for half a chicken and a piece of dog meat, well... It smells so good!"

A few others interjected: "We also ask for some delicious food, big brother, you can enjoy it first..." Hahahaha"

During the conversation, several people had already arrived outside the gate of the ruined temple.

I saw a few beggar-like people taking off their coats while whipping the rain on their bodies, only revealing a strong muscle, one of the seven or eight-year-old beggars simply took off their bodies, and said to an elderly beggar coquettishly: "Dad, you promised to buy me new clothes for my birthday, but four or five days have passed since people's birthdays, why haven't you bought them for me?" You see no one has to wear it······"

The others teased while packing up the firewood and preparing to make a fire: "Hey... When will our little gang leader know how to dress up? Could it be that the girl of which family has fallen in love and wants to take a daughter-in-law? If we really stay like this, we will go out for three days without eating tomorrow... Help you get a new outfit ······"

The little beggar's immature eyes blinked and replied, "Father, what is a daughter-in-law?

The old beggar looked at the little beggar with kind eyes, reached out and touched the little beggar's forehead, sighed, and said, "Alas... Child, when you grow up, your father will help you get a daughter-in-law to live a good life, and you won't have to follow your father hungry and beg for food again······"

The little beggar blinked his big watery eyes and nodded as if he didn't understand.

Several other beggars interjected: "You stupid boy, you don't even know what your daughter-in-law is... Hahaha······ If you marry a daughter-in-law, someone will give you a warm quilt every day······ There are also people who can help you make new shoes... New Clothes··· What do you want to eat, say hello, and my daughter-in-law will help you do it······ Haha······· Also ······" Before he finished speaking, a man behind him slapped the man on the back of the head.
