CHAPTER XVIII
Zhong Lei was always worried about the few people who peeped at the house in the third watch the night before, thinking that it must be those good and evil characters in Guangmingding, and now he knows that he is not dead, and he found clues to attack and kill, which happened to be bumped into by Murong Fei, so he didn't succeed. But after the three of them go back, they will invite more good hands to come to the village, and the whole family of the owner will be in danger. Thinking of this, he said to Yingchun: "Girl, you also know what happened the night before, I think those three people will definitely not give up, maybe they are mobilizing helpers at this time." In short, I will definitely come to Lijiazhuang again to find me. The old lady is a kind person, and the old lady is a rare good person, and when the time comes, I will definitely be hidden, and it will be dangerous. Yingchun was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Master Zhong, where does this danger come from?" Zhong Lei sighed: "If those wicked people can't find me, they will definitely kill me, then I won't be involved in the Li family." Yingchun understood when he heard this, and asked anxiously: "Master Zhong, what should I do?" Zhong Lei sighed again and said: "I want to leave here for the time being, and come back after I recover from my illness, so as not to affect the owner's family." I will leave a letter for the wicked to give to the wicked when they are found. Those wicked people will not be angry with others when they read my letters, what do you think?" Although Yingchun is a girl, he is cautious, kind, and has a little courage, at this time, after listening to these words, there is some truth in thinking about it, so he nodded and said: "Master Zhong, this idea is good, but your body is outside, in case you meet a strongman or an enemy, I am afraid that you will have to worry about your life, what should you do then?" Zhong Lei smiled and said: "I have died once, what are you afraid of." As long as it doesn't involve the owner's family, even if it dies, it's worth it. Seeing that he had made up his mind to go, Yingchun said, "Okay, you can go to my house and hide for a few days before making plans." Fortunately, my home is not far away, in the town of Qilipo. There was no one else in the family except my father. It's just that my family is very poor, and I don't have anything for you to eat, so you can't say that I don't feel sorry for you. ”
After discussing for a while, Yingchun found a pen and inkstone, Zhong Lei wrote: "The Invincible Demon King, Dongfang Lie, the Hundred Poison Demon King, the Three-Eyed Strange Dao, the Thousand-Handed Guanyin, the person you want to kill is Zhong, this has nothing to do with the people of Li Zhuang, please don't embarrass them." As for the past, Zhong has repented, and wants to retire to the mountains and forests from now on and not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. If you have to take Zhong's life to vent your anger, then ten years later, Qingming will go to the top of the Yellow Mountain, and then you will be at the disposal of Er, and you will never fight back. "Write a letter to Yingchun. "Don't be in a hurry to give this letter to the old lady first, otherwise the old lady will definitely refuse to let me go after reading it. You can give the letter to a maid first, and then give it to the old lady after we are gone. Yingchun naturally understood what Zhong Lei meant, and said with a smile: "I'm not a stupid woman." "Say goodbye and get out of the house.
Zhong Lei took out a few silver tickets from under the bedside, three large ingots of silver, two ingots of small silver, and some broken silver into his arms, thinking that he would use them at Yingchun's house. When he came back from the blink of an eye, he took a bamboo hat in his hand and put it on Zhong Lei, and pressed it down, deliberately covering his face. Then helped Zhong Lei out of the house, and did not dare to go to the main gate, just afraid that people would not be able to get out, so they went out of the owner's house from the backyard door, along the bluestone slab of the alley to the gate of the village, and called the villagers on the gatehouse to put down the suspension bridge and hurriedly leave the village, and went to Qilipo.
It was noon, the sun was warm, and in a short three-mile journey, Zhong Leihua spent two full hours to arrive at Yingchun's house.
Yingchun's house is in the north of the town, and there are only four earthen tile houses, and the earthen walls that are high for one person have collapsed a lot. There are twenty or thirty old mulberry trees planted in the courtyard, and at this time the buds on the trees are budding, and the young leaves are shaking in the breeze. Under the mulberry trees, three or four sparse vegetables were planted, and they were very green, and there were no poultry or livestock at home. There are four earthen tile houses, one is the spring leap room, one is where her father lives, one is a firewood room with several bamboo curtains for young silkworms, and the other is a kitchen with firewood. In addition to the beds, tables and chairs, it seems that there is no decent household in the leap room of the spring, and it is poor enough to think about it.
"Master Zhong, you lie down on the bed first, and I'll go to Zhang Luo for lunch. Yingchun made up his bed and helped Zhong Lei to go to bed carefully to rest.
At this time, an old voice sounded outside the house: "Whose child is this, why is this so naughty, be careful to fall from the tree, come down quickly." As soon as Yingchun heard that it was his father's voice, he said to Zhong Lei: "That's my father." Then he turned around and went out of the house, and saw his father hunched over and was carrying a child from the mulberry tree, so he called "Dad" affectionately, and found that the child in his father's hand would be Young Master Xiao. "I was in a hurry to leave at the time, and I didn't care about it for a while, but now that I think about it, it must be that Young Master Xiao is playful and follows them all the way here. "Dad, this is my owner's child. Yingchun said, took Young Master Xiao from his father's hand and put it on the ground, patted his little buttocks and said, "Good, Young Master Xiao, come into the house." After Tianxiao left, Yingchun helped his father sit down on a broken bamboo chair under the eaves and asked, "Dad, where have you been?"
This old man is also a poor man, his father was originally a tea merchant, and there are several shops outside, and his mother is a virtuous person, so the family naturally prospers. Unexpectedly, when he was five years old, his parents died, and a large estate and the whole family were taken by a few ruthless uncles, and he was kicked out of the house. A young master lived by begging until he was in his thirties, and only married the daughter of a poor family, with the help of a group of beggar friends, he built these four earthen houses in the wasteland, and since then he has a family and a wife. But this day has just improved a little, but my wife died of hemorrhage after giving birth to Yingchun. In order to support his daughter, he got up early and greedy everywhere to take on heavy and dirty work, endured a lot of hardships, and finally pulled his daughter to the age of twelve, but his left hand was crippled, his back was hunched, and there was no longer an owner to ask for him when he went out to help. In order to let his daughter have a way to live, he asked someone to send his daughter to the mansion of the Saihuatuo family, because her daughter is handsome, and she is smart, and she has become the old lady's personal ring when she enters the Li Mansion, and she can also bring back twelve taels of silver to her home every year. In a flash, Yingchun is a seventeen-year-old girl, and when she goes home at the end of the year, she lets the shopkeeper of the Jiangnan silk cloth shop in the town look at it, so she asks the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, and insists that she wants to marry Yingchun as a concubine. He listened to nature and didn't do it, so the matter was put aside. Unexpectedly, two big men suddenly came early this morning, and dragged Zhang Qi'er from the bed to the Jiangnan silk cloth shop, and the shopkeeper said that he had stolen a piece of cloth and sent him to see the official and squatted in prison. He was an honest man, so he naturally refused to admit that he had done such a thing, and as a result, the big man beat him up and forced him to put his fingerprint on his daughter's deed of sale. The shopkeeper of the Jiangnan silk shop said that he would call his daughter back within three days, and come to greet him on the fourth day, so he let him go home.
"Dad, I'm not afraid. I'll show you a person. Yingchun was angry, took his father into the house, and saw Zhong Lei sitting in the quilt playing with the young master, so he told his father what happened today. "Wicked. Zhong Lei roared and said, "In this world, except for silver, there is no place for you to be reasonable." It's okay, I have a cure for him. Yan Bi took out some broken silver from his bosom and put it on the table. Yingchun saw that there were about three or four taels, so he asked, "What are you doing?" Zhong Lei suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Grab medicine for your father, and bring some food and drink back." Seeing that Yingchun looked at his father and didn't dare to take the silver, he said again, "Go quickly." There are important things to discuss with your father and daughter during the meal. "Yingchun took the broken silver and went out.
Zhong Lei asked Zhang Qi'er to sit down, took out three ingots of silver from his arms and put them on the table, and said: "Brother, don't see outside, Yingchun has been taking care of me for the past few days, then her family's affairs are my business." You can take these three ingots of silver, go to the town and do whatever you want to make a living, it is better than raising silkworms. After that, he took a small silver ingot weighing ten taels from his bosom and put it on the edge of the big silver, and said with a smile: "Brother, if you want to be the shopkeeper, you must have a few decent clothes to support your face, otherwise it is not decent, and this silver is for you to make clothes." Take it, don't see it. "Zhang Qi'er is a little stupid. He had never seen so much silver in his life, but at this moment, someone gave it to him so boldly, he really couldn't believe his ears and eyes. "I said, don't see outside, put it away, I still have something to say. Hearing Zhong Lei say this, Zhang Qi'er had to put away the silver, carefully put it in his arms, and covered it with his hands, as if he was afraid that others would rob him. Zhong Lei said again: "Brother, when I entered the town, I passed by Zheng's butcher shop, as if I heard that someone in the town said that someone's son became an official and wanted to move his family to Yingtianfu and sell the old house in the town, I don't know if this thing is true or false?" Zhang Qi'er nodded hurriedly and said, "Master Zhong, there is such a thing." Yes, there is such a thing. It was the big mansion of the Zhang family, I went to it once when I asked for food, it was a big yard, there were rockery bamboo forests, and ponds. The Zhang family has moved away a few years ago, and now there is an empty house left, saying that it can be ceded for two thousand taels of silver, which is quite cheap, and several people have already gone to see it and are negotiating. By the way, what are you doing here?" Zhong Lei hugged the young master and said with a smile: "I thought, just take this big mansion and give it to Yingchun." When Zhang Qi'er heard this, she was so shocked that she even fell to the ground with a chair, but she still looked at Zhong Lei in disbelief.
Yingchun happened to come back at this time, and when he saw his father fall to the ground, he hurriedly took a few steps and put a few large bags of things on the table, helped his father up, and then put a chair for his father to sit down again, and asked puzzledly: "Dad, it's so decent, why did you fall to the ground." Hearing her daughter's question, Zhang Qi'er calmed down and pointed to Zhong Lei and said, "He, he, he said yes, he wants to take down the Zhang family's house, send it, send it, give it to you." Unexpectedly, Yingchun didn't feel strange when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Dad, he doesn't have any relatives, so he naturally treats his daughter as a relative." He wants to give me the Zhang family's compound, then I will accept it, otherwise he will be angry and say that I don't treat him as my own. After speaking, he opened the big bags of things on the table, but they were beef, fat goose, tender chicken, strong duck and the like.
