Chapter 9: The Bandits
Leng Jian came to the door of Feng Qingrou's room, hesitated for a while before knocking lightly on the door and said, "Feng Girl, I'm Leng Jian, can I go in?" Feng Qingrou stayed in the room and didn't lie down, just sat on the bed alone, looking at the iron box containing his mother's ashes, and when he heard Leng Jian's voice, he immediately responded, put the iron box aside, and walked over to open the door.
Leng Jian saw that the wind was gentle, and then said, "I just want to say a few words to you, and I won't bother you for too long." ”
Feng smiled softly and said, "Come in and talk about it! I didn't rest so early." ”
Leng Jian was invited into the room, and the wind gently closed the door.
"Do you miss your mother again?" Leng Jian asked, glancing at the tin box on the bed.
Feng nodded softly, slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, silent. Leng Jian also sat down next to her, and said after a while: "I came mainly to say sorry to you in person." ”
Feng raised her head gently, looked at Leng Jian, and said in surprise, "Why do you want to apologize to me?"
"I took it upon myself to cremate your mother's body, and it was my fault. Leng Jian said.
"That's what happened. Feng said softly, "You are also kind, in fact, I should thank you a lot, I was confused for a while, so I complained to you a few words, don't take it to heart." Leng Jian said: "Wind girl is so reasonable, I'm really happy." ”
"Sword, can you promise me one thing?" said the wind softly and solemnly.
"You say, I will promise you. Leng Jian immediately replied. "I have thought about it, my mother likes and longs for the sea, and she often told me before her death that she hopes to be with the sea when she is old, so I plan to scatter my mother's ashes into the blue water, believing that my mother's soul can also rest in the sky." Can you help me fulfill this wish and take me out to sea?"
Leng Jian thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, but this is a long way from the sea, so you have to be mentally prepared for a long journey." The wind said softly: "In order to achieve the goal, I am not afraid of how long the road is, no matter how hard it is!"
Leng Jian then said, "There may also be unpredictable dangers along the way. ”
"You'll protect me, won't you?" said the breeze.
"I'll protect you naturally unless I'm dead. Leng Jian said seriously. Feng Qingrou's heart was moved, but her eyes were a little moist, and she slowly lowered her head and said: "You are so good to me, I have no relatives anymore, I am really afraid that you will leave me, leaving me to live alone in the world......"
Leng Jian said: "Except for your parents, is there no one else in the family?"
Feng said softly: "Yes, there is also an elder brother, his name is Feng Wuyan, but he suddenly ran away from home two years ago and has not been heard from. ”
Leng Jian muttered, "How ...... is this" Feng said softly, suddenly sadness came to him, and he fell on Leng Jian's shoulder and sobbed softly. Leng Jian couldn't help but reach out and gently patted the wind on the back, and comforted: "Don't be too sad, I believe that your father and brother are still there, but you can't find them for the time being, but I believe there will always be a day when we will meet." ”
Feng whimpered softly, "When I used to cry sadly, I always liked to lean on my brother's shoulder, and he would always say something interesting to make me happy. You don't mind borrowing your shoulder for me to use, do you?"
Leng Jian said: "If you want, I can also take care of you like your brother." ”
"Brother?" Feng Qingrou suddenly broke away from the cold sword like an electric shock, sat up straight and said, "Who wants you to be my brother?"
"I'm sorry, I was too abrupt. Leng Jian said, "Do you think I'm not qualified to be your brother?"
"No...... Wind waved his hand softly, "I'm just...... I just don't want you to be my brother anyway. ”
Leng Jian couldn't see through the gentle psychology of the wind, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions at the moment, so he got up and said: "If you don't want to be an elder brother, you can also be a friend, isn't it? It's not early, I should go back to the room, you should go to bed early!"
"Well, we'll see you tomorrow. The wind gently sent Leng Jian to the door, and watched him disappear from sight, then closed the door and went back to bed and lay down. "I didn't expect this wooden face, it seems to be very cold-blooded on the surface, but it is quite considerate in the heart......" Feng gently fell into a meditation, and unconsciously fell asleep sweetly.
At dawn the next day, the three of them had breakfast together, then got into the carriage and continued to set off in the direction of the imperial city.
Nothing special happened along the way. After a few days of driving, at noon on this day, the carriage drove into a mountain path, and after walking not far, suddenly three figures flashed out of the road, blocking the way.
Looking closely at these three people, to be exact, three young men, one of them is slightly fat, and the left and right are tall, both dressed in red, green, and green, very fancy, as if they are going to participate in a costume performance and deliberately attract the attention of the audience.
Qin Mengqi saw three uninvited guests appear on the road, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are the Three Heroes of the Jungle!" said a man with a sword at his waist on the left, raising his arm, "I'm the boss." ”
"I'm the second. The fat man in the middle continued. "Three!" said the man on the right, following the fat man.
"Er, tell them what we're going to do!" said the eldest to the second.
The fat man puffed up his strength, stared at him, and said in a rough voice: "Prick up your ears and listen, I planted this road, and I ......opened this tree."
"Wait, second child, are you wrong?" the eldest felt awkward to listen to, and hurriedly reminded the second child.
"Ahh......h
"I don't care, I just want to eat meat buns now!"
Qin Mengqi smiled and bent over, and only raised two pairs of fists after a long time, and said, "There is no meat bun, there is a pair of meat fists!"
Leng Jian also jumped out of the carriage at this time, stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
"These clowns want to beat us up for money, what do you say?" Qin Mengqi asked leisurely.
Leng Jian didn't say a word, he walked straight to the three brothers, and quickly pulled out the giant sword on his waist with his right hand and thrust it into the ground, his face was full of anger, and he said coldly after a while: "Give you two choices, the first is to leave immediately, and the second is to sacrifice my sword with your blood!" Leng Jian didn't want to embarrass them, but he just intended to drive them away without blood, but he didn't expect the effect to be better than expected. The three brothers saw Leng Jian's grim face, coupled with the fierce giant sword, all of which stimulated their nerves, where to dare to fight the idea of money, of course, it was important to save their lives.
I saw the boss fall to his knees with a puff, and begged repeatedly: "Hero spare my life, our three brothers are good citizens, and we only thought of joining the gang as bandits for a while, but now I don't want to, let's go!" After that, he quickly stood up, glanced at the second and third children, and was about to run backwards, when he was suddenly stopped by Leng Jian: "Wait, are there bandits around here?"
The boss turned around and responded, "Yes, do you want to join the gang too?"
"Nonsense!" Leng Jian said solemnly, "Why did they send you to rob passers-by? ”
"The boss said that as long as a few of us can successfully rob the property once, they will agree to let us join the gang. The Boss said so.
At this time, Qin Mengqi came over and asked, "Do you want to do it or not, what do you want to do, are the bandits really that good?"
After hearing this, the eldest explained: "Our three brothers usually follow the rules, don't scold or fight, and work very hard, but they still often can't fill their stomachs. That's why we feel that being a good person has no future, let alone money, so we plan to change careers and become bandits. Seeing that those who are small are eating and dressing well, that heart yearns for it!"
"If you are a good person, there is no future, superficial, too superficial!" Qin Mengqi said in a tone of lesson, "That's because you didn't work hard at all...... Hey, forget it, I guess with your IQ, you won't understand it. However, I can tell you unambiguously that there will be no future for bandits, and they will soon be exterminated. ”
"How do you know?" the three brothers asked in unison.
"Because of me!" Qin Mengqi pointed at himself with his thumb, "Please lead the way, I'm going to meet those bandits." ”
"Meng Qi, are you serious?" Leng Jian said.
"I'm not a Templar now, but it's all the same, killing demons and killing demons. Now that there are bandits entrenched on this mountain, harming passers-by, shouldn't we do something?" Qin Mengqi said seriously.
Leng Jian thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
The wind heard what he said just now, and then he walked over slowly and interjected: "Sword, Mengqi, although they are bandits, they are also people, I hope you will be merciful and forgiving, and don't go on a killing spree." ”
"I didn't intend to kill anyone. Qin Mengqi said, "But if they are stubborn, small punishments and big commandments are inevitable." ”
Leng Jian reminded: "We haven't figured out the details of the other party yet, it's better to be careful, we have to talk to the Mountain King first, and then we'll see you on foot!"
"By the way, do you know what kind of person the head of the family is?" Qin Mengqi turned to the three brothers and asked.
"All I know is that the head of the house is a woman. The Boss said. The second child added: "Still a very coquettish woman. The third child continued: "The clothes are still very revealing!"
Qin Mengqi sighed, just thinking that he would meet the bandit leader of this sexy stunner earlier.
"Gossip Huti, you guys hurry up and lead the way!" Leng Jian urged.
"Yes, let's go!" the boss replied and walked to the front.
So, Qin Mengqi drove the carriage and carried the wind gently. Leng Jian walked on foot, followed the three brothers, and began to take the road up the mountain.
