Chapter Nine: Rushing to the Crown and Becoming Red (I)
Merry Zi Zhan saved the two of them, after returning to the Merry Cave. A few days later, in the early morning of this day, Zhan Zheng got up and saw no trace of Merry Liuzi, only to see a cloth on the stone table, with words on it.
Zhan Zheng took the cloth in his hand and looked at it, it read: Zheng'er, now that you have grown up to admit it, and you have a world-class martial arts, it is difficult to meet opponents in the world today, your parents have not heard from you for many years, you should go out and ask around about the whereabouts of your parents. This is your filial duty as a son of man, and I have already prepared dry food for you. Grandpa built a house in Lingyang Mountain in his early years, and he often said that there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky. If you encounter any trouble in the rivers and lakes, you can take refuge for the time being. Don't worry, Grandpa Merry will always be your Merry Grandpa, and you will always be my grandson.
This letter is short and long, and it is touching, of course Zhan Zheng understands the good intentions of the merry man, and the merry grandfather is nothing more than letting himself go out to find the whereabouts of his parents while taking the opportunity to experience himself. Then Zhan Zheng prepared his own coiling, took the Qiyuan sword, and rode the horse "White Dragon Jual" under the Merry Son to leave the Merry Cave and run down the mountain.
The book here should be short, and on this day, Zhan Zheng rode a white dragon horse to the outside of Huainan City. It was nearly dusk, and it was raining heavily, so Zhan Zheng said: I have to hurry into the city to find an inn to settle down first, so I kicked the horse's belly hard and urged the horse to enter the city. After Zhan Zheng galloped into Huainan City on horseback, he looked for an inn along the street, ran for a while, and saw a Yuelai inn not far in front of him.
Zhan Zheng was overjoyed and urged the horse to gallop, and his eyes swept to see a woman on the side of the street, dressed in coarse cloth, with a shaky body, and fell on the side of the street. Although it was pouring rain at this time, He Zhan was born with a chivalrous heart, and suddenly, good thoughts sprouted in his heart, and he stopped walking. He jumped off his horse and ran to the woman's side.
The woman was unconscious, and although her whole body had been soaked by the heavy rain, Zhan Zheng could still see that the woman was about fifty years old, but she was quite beautiful. Zhan Zheng immediately picked up the woman on horseback and ran to the door of the inn. Zhan Zheng helped the woman into the inn, immediately took out the silver taels and handed them to the shopkeeper, opened two guest rooms, and instructed the shopkeeper to invite the best doctor in Huainan City. The shopkeeper saw that Zhan Zheng was generous, and thought that Zhan Zheng and the woman were mother and son.
It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to invite the doctor to come to the guest room to check the woman's pulse, and the doctor said that the woman was just suffering from the wind and cold, and there was nothing serious, so he prescribed medicine. Zhan Zheng handed the prescription to the shopkeeper and asked the second child to decoction the medicine.
Zhan Zheng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the unconscious woman lying on the bed, his heart pounded, although the woman was about fifty years old, but Zhan Zheng still had the idea of "lip and tongue" with her. Just as Zhan Zheng was about to bend down, the woman suddenly woke up and saw Zhan Zheng. Zhan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he quickly calmed down first.
I only heard Zhan Zheng say softly: "Girl, are you awake?" Zhan Zheng and the woman faced each other, and the woman only felt that the young man in front of her was handsome and chic, and he could be called a talent. Zhan Zheng said in a low voice: "Girl, I saw you faint on the side of the road, and I couldn't bear to take the girl back to the inn. β
The woman just smiled and said, "Little brother, I see that you are almost in your twenties, and I am fifty years old this year, and I am more than thirty years older than you, so you still call me a girl?" Zhan Zheng said: "Please also ask my aunt to forgive the younger generation for being clumsy, I don't know the name of my aunt?" The woman said: "My surname is Ding Nian'e." Zhan Zheng said: "Aunt Ding, the younger generation's surname is Zhan Mingzheng." During the chat, the shopkeeper had already boiled the medicine and sent it to the room. Zhan Zheng picked up the medicine and said to Ding Nian'e on the edge of the bed: "Aunt Ding, I have a reluctant request, can I take the medicine for you personally?"
Ding Nian'e saw that Zhan Zheng was so enthusiastic and fanatical about herself, and she had vaguely felt Zhan Zheng's feelings for her men and women. Although Ding Nian'e knew in her heart that she could be Zhan Zheng's mother at her own age, Zhan Zheng really made Ding Nian'e irresistible, she really wanted to experience the taste of being taken care of and loved by a man, and satisfy her deep desire to be taken care of by a man.
Ding Nian'e blushed and smiled slightly, and nodded lightly. Ding Nian'e saw Zhan Zheng holding a medicine bowl, blowing medicine, and carefully feeding it to Ding Nian'e's lips with a spoon. Ding Nian'e felt that all this in front of her was like a dream, and Ding Nian'e looked at Zhan Zheng's eyes showing her love for herself, and was greatly moved.
Zhan Zheng's every move at this time had already ignited his heart in the prime of his cardamom years, and although she seemed to be calm on the surface now, she was indeed very messy in his heart. He asked himself again and again how he couldn't meet such an infatuated man when he was young, and how she wished that she could be younger and worthy of the young man in front of her.
After a while, Zhan Zheng finished taking the medicine for Ding Nian'e with his own hands, and Zhan Zheng said softly: "Aunt Ding, I am in the room next to you, if you have anything to call me at any time, can you?" Ding Nian'e nodded slightly. Zhan Zheng stretched out his hand and put it behind Ding Nian'e's neck, rubbed it gently, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving." β
Then he left his room and closed the door gently. After Zhan Zheng left, only Ding Nian'e was left to lie on the bed alone, and the room was silent, but Ding Nian'e regretted it very much in her heart, she should keep Zhan Zheng at the moment Zhan Zheng went out, but she was a senior after all, plus he had always been very shy in matters between men and women, and he was not good at expressing his love.
He's been on the streets for months, whenever she's alone, including tonight. She often thought of her own sadness, she thought of his deceased father, she thought of the man he hated the most and made her the saddest, and when she thought of this, he often cried silently, and even couldn't sleep at night. But tonight was different, as long as she remembered Zhan Zheng, who lived next door to her, she could feel better. Zhan Zheng is like a warm sun, which can make Ding Nian'e feel his light and heat, and feel the warmth he exudes.
The night passed like this, and the next morning, Ding Nian'e woke up very early and heard someone knocking on the door. Ding Nian'e went to open the door, and as soon as she opened the door, Zhan Zheng stood outside the door with a bowl of hot medicine, and Zhan Zheng said: "Yesterday, when the doctor left, he repeatedly told him that the medicine must be taken on time, three times a day. I'm going to decoct the medicine for you, and after I've finished the medicine, I'm going to bring it to you. Ding Nian'e hurriedly said: "This is too troublesome for you, come in?"
Zhan Zheng entered the room, he picked up the medicine bowl and said, "Aunt Ding, this medicine must be drunk while it is hot to have the best effect." Ding Nian'e muttered: "You feed me!" These words are as thin as mosquitoes, if it were for others, she just moved her lips and didn't say anything, but Zhan Zheng's profound internal skills could be heard clearly.
I only heard Zhan Zheng say generously: "Okay, I'll feed you" The two of them sat on the stool. Zhan Zheng picked up the medicine bowl again and slowly fed the medicine to Ding Nian'e with a spoon.
Since the morning, Zhan Zheng has never been out of Ding Nian'e's room, and even lunch and dinner are eaten together. Zhan Zheng has been talking with Ding Nian'e, but Ding Nian'e never mentioned his past sadness. And so it went on until the evening. Seeing that it was not early, Ding Nian'e thought that she would be separated from Zhan Zheng for a few more hours, so Ding Nian'e said: "Zhan Zheng, you are in the same room with me today, can you?" Zhan Zheng replied: "Okay."
Zhan Zheng ordered the shopkeeper to take two bundles of straw into the room, and he fell into the straw and covered himself with a felt blanket. Ding Nian'e thought to herself, it was already winter at this time, and even if she laid straw on the ground, it was difficult to stop the cold on the ground, so she said to Zhan Zheng: "Ah Zheng, I want you to sleep in the same bed with me, can you?"
Zhan Zheng excused himself in the third prevarication, but Ding Nian'e still asked Zhan Zheng to sleep in the same bed, and Zhan Zheng agreed. Although Zhan Zheng excused himself, he was indeed happy in his heart.
In this way, Zhan Zheng blew out the candle and slept on the same bed with Ding Nian'e, although Zhan Zheng was twenty years old and Ding Nian'e was fifty years old. But at this moment, the age gap is not a gap between the two, the two of them only think that they are the same age as each other.
When Zhan Zheng and Ding Nian'e slept on the same bed, the love between men and women in his heart was once again like a river and a sea wave. He even wanted to directly use Ding Nian'e as the object of venting his feelings between men and women, but he still forcibly restrained his impulsive thoughts. Because Zhan Zheng loves Ding Nian'e deeply, his love is for no reason, he respects Ding Nian'e, and his love for Ding Nian'e is not just about possessing his body.
He also wanted to get the merry man's sentence "If you want to get her daughter, you must win her heart" Zhan Zheng swore in his heart: "No matter what method I use, I must get her heart, I want her to belong to me completely, Zhan Zheng, anyone who dares to let her be angry and wronged, there is only one word, death!"
Zhan Zheng said to Ding Nian'e: "Aunt Ding, I really want to whisper to you. Ding Nian'e said, "Come on." Zhan Zheng leaned close to Ding Nian'e's ear and said softly: "The older you get, the more beautiful you are, the older you are, the more attractive you are to Zhan Zheng; I Zhan Zheng just like the old, no matter what method I use, I must get your heart, I want you to completely belong to me Zhan Zheng, anyone who dares to let you be angry, wronged, there is only one word, death! In addition, there is only one sentence in a thousand words, eleven words: 'The mountains are edgeless, the rivers are stopped, and only dare to be with the king'"
Ding Nian'e was secretly happy in her heart, and said in her heart: There has never been a man who has whispered such a sensual whisper in my ear. After that the two of them lay in bed and did nothing, nothing happened. Before you know it, the night passed quickly and lasted until dawn.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhan Zheng personally fetched water for Ding Nian'e to wash. Although nothing happened to Zhan Zheng and Ding Nian'e last night, let alone Zhou Gong's courtesy, Zhan Zheng already regarded Ding Nian'e as his fiancΓ©e in his heart.
After Zhan Zheng washed Ding Nian'e, he also personally combed Ding Nian'e's long hair. After Zhan Zheng was done, Ding Nian'e turned around and looked at Zhan Zheng, both of them looked at each other with loving eyes, only to hear Ding Nian'e say: "Zhan Zheng, I really want to snuggle in your arms." Zhan Zheng replied, "I really want to open my hands and hug you tightly." Saying that, Ding Nian'e leaned into Zhan Zheng's arms, and Zhan Zheng reached out and hugged her.
Ding Nian'e said very shyly: "Zhan Zheng, your arms are really warm enough." Zhan Zheng said: "If you feel warm in my arms, you can lie in my arms to your heart's content!" Ding Nian'e said: "Warm is warm, but I feel very hot." Zhan Zheng said: "No, that's not called heat, that's called happiness, when I hold you tightly in my arms, it's like I surround you tightly with all my happiness." Zhan Zheng said again: "I really don't want to call you aunt anymore, I want to call you Nian'e, is it okay?"
At this time, he suddenly heard a commotion outside and thought that there was some dispute, so Zhan Zheng said to Ding Nian'e: "You stay in the room and don't come out, I'll go out and have a look." Just when Ding Nian'e was about to speak out, Zhan Zheng had already gone out and closed the door.
Zhan Zheng came to the inn hall, only to see a few hideous-looking, untidy clothes big man pulling a woman, and his mouth was not clean: "Little beauty, look at your posture, come with us." β
The woman kept struggling, and an old man sitting next to the woman hurriedly stopped: "Don't take my daughter, don't take my daughter......" The big men pushed the old man to the ground.
When Zhan Zheng saw this, he was furious in his heart, flew over, and beat the bully who robbed the Ming girl. The bully was punched by Zhan Zheng and fell to the table behind him, which collapsed and shattered the cups and plates. I only heard Zhan Zheng shouting: "You bullies, robbing the people's daughters in broad daylight, but there is still a king's law?"
At this time, the other bullies had all gathered and swarmed up. Zhan Zheng fought with them, and all the Zhan Zheng's martial arts were unfolded, how could those bullies bear it, and after a few strokes, they were all beaten down.
Zhan Zheng shouted, "Don't get out of here!" The bullies quickly got up and scattered. After that, the woman helped the old man over, only to hear the old man say, "Thank you for your righteous action." β
Zhan Zheng clasped his fists and saluted: "The juniors are ashamed, you should leave quickly!" said the woman and helped the old man out of the inn.
Then, the inn's shopkeeper came over and said in a panic: "This guest officer, you have a big deal, those bullies are all thugs of the Xiang family." Xiang Fu of the Xiang family is a tyrant in Huainan City, he has always been rampant and domineering in Huainan City on weekdays, in the fish and meat township, no one in this Huainan City is not afraid of Xiang Fu, I think this guest officer has a good heart, or leave Huainan City quickly. Zhan Zheng snorted and said, "I would like to meet this Xiang Fu in person." β
Zhan Zheng returned to the guest room, and Ding Nian'e hurriedly came over and asked, "Zhan Zheng, what's going on outside." Zhan Zheng said: "There are a few bullies making trouble outside, I took action to teach them a lesson, and it is said that those villains are all subordinates named He Xiang Fu." I have to find a way to rid the people of Huainan City from this scourge. β
Ding Nian'e had tears in her eyes, clasped Zhan Zheng's hands and sobbed: "Zhan Zheng, promise me not to go to Xiang Fu." Zhan Zhengqi said: "Do you know him?" Ding Nian'e wiped away her tears and said: "Now, I should also tell you everything about my past, I used to be Xiang Fu's wife." β
It turned out that as early as 30 years ago, this Ding Nian'e was the daughter of Ding Yuan in Huainan City, and at that time, Ding Mansion was also the richest family in Huainan City, with thousands of family wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land. Later, there was a marriage contract between Ding Nian'e and Xiang Fu, and Ding Yuanwai married Ding Nian'e to Xiang Fu, how could Ding Nian'e and Xiang Fu marry for many years, and they did not have any heirs. Xiang Fu didn't seem to care on the surface, but in fact, he was haunted in his heart.
The year before last, Ding Nian'e's mother unfortunately died, and Ding Yuanwai was very sad, and he washed his face with tears all day long, grieving. When he died at the beginning of this year, Xiang Fu has changed a person since then, he saw the two elders of the Ding family die one after another, and he saw Ding Nian'e Lao Zhuhuang. began to do everything possible to occupy all the property of the Ding family, and finally the Ding Mansion was renamed and renamed Xiang Fu.
What made Ding Nian'e the most sad was that Xiang Fu beat and scolded Ding Nian'e all day long, and also married many beautiful wives and concubines to have fun with him. At the same time, Xiang Fu also spent money to hire a lot of thugs and bullies to work for him, specializing in running rampant in Huainan City, fish and meat township. In the end, Xiang Fu drove Ding Nian'e out of Xiang's mansion. Ding Nian'e lived on the streets for two full months, until she met Zhan Zheng a few days ago.
After Zhan Zheng heard all the stories of Ding Nian'e, he was furious in his heart, and threatened: "Nian'e, I'll take you to find Xiang Fu's bastard thing to ask for justice, go!" Saying that, Zhan Zheng took Ding Nian'e's hand and walked out, Ding Nian'e struggled to carry out life-saving, and stopped in front of the door and said: "Zhan Zheng, I tell you all my story, I don't want you to seek justice for me, I want you to know about my past, I don't want you to go to Zhan Zheng because I'm afraid that he will hurt you, do you understand?"
Zhan Zheng said: "When I slept in the same bed with you last night, I had already sworn silently, I said that anyone who dares to let you be angry and wronged will die with only one word. When Ding Nian'e saw Zhan Zheng say this, the honesty in her eyes deeply touched her, and Ding Nian'e said: "Zhan Zheng, I believe that what you said is true, no matter what, I will never allow you to take risks for me." β
Zhan Zheng didn't want to go against Ding Nian'e's intentions, and he had already made a plan in his heart. Zhan Zheng said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go to the street to buy you some clean clothes, and I'll go back immediately, okay?" Ding Nian'e nodded and agreed.
