Chapter 6 Strangers must have known each other
Looking at the back of Wanzhen's desperate departure, Xie Chenfeng couldn't help but be extremely sad and depressed, and he decided to redeem his cousin Xia Wanzhen.
Along the way, he saw that there were Jinyi guards checking everywhere, but there didn't seem to be such a situation in the more upscale Qinglou, perhaps because the minions were the eyes of power.
Chen Feng made up his mind to settle in the Rejuvenation Building, and most of the customers in the Rejuvenation Building were Dagui and Xuan, which was more conducive to hiding his whereabouts.
His heart was in a tight pain, he unscrewed the wine gourd and poured a few sips of wine, and the prodigal son, who looked like a wild and unruly prodigal son, staggered into the green building.
Chen Feng didn't know that there was already a pair of evil dead fish eyes staring at him secretly, and he inadvertently showed his extraordinary skills at the moment when the hero saved the beauty.
The man thoughtfully twisted the beard that curled up at the corners of his lips, smiled coldly and contemptuously, and left unconsciously.
With business, the old bustard came over to greet him as usual, and the old spicy forces looked up and down at the guest with a down-to-earth appearance, and his face unconsciously showed a look of disdain, and asked teasingly: "Which girl did the guest officer fall in love with?" ”
Chen Feng had already heard the sound outside the strings, and his mind was nothing more than gold and silver treasures, he took out a silver ingot and said with a smile: "It's the girl who fell downstairs just now." ”
The old bustard hesitated for a moment, and said with a sad face: "You are talking about Lily, she only sells her art and does not sell herself, and she never accepts customers." ”
Chen Feng silently added two more ingots of silver, not wanting to listen to her chatter anymore, and said simply: "I only listen to music." ”
The old bustard's gaze froze, and then he was overjoyed, and replied on his knees: "Okay! As he walked, he instructed the man to make a few side dishes, and laughed in his heart that the visitor was a fool who spent three ingots of silver just to listen to the music.
Chen Feng entered the wing room, which made people feel comfortable and warm.
The rosewood table is hunched on its feet, and the round stool with oil and shiny shape is peculiar, which looks simple and exquisite.
There are several good paintings hanging on the wall, either quiet or elegant, or cold or lofty.
The interesting bamboo table in the corner is decorated with fragrant flowers, which seem to complement each other with ingenuity.
Only a woman in the show will arrange the room so beautifully and elegantly, and Xia Wanzhen is such a woman.
The former fellow villagers looked at each other when they met, and they were speechless for a while.
Xia Wanzhen's pupils quickly flashed a trace of melancholy, and sighed meaningfully: "That's it, there are some calamities that can't be avoided." ”
Xie Chenfeng briefly recounted the life of Xiucai (her father) after her disappearance.
Xia Wanzhen couldn't cry silently, and told Chen Feng about her bumpy and humiliating experience.
Xia Wanzhen was sold by traffickers four years ago to a general's mansion to be a maid ring for a young lady, but she didn't worry about food and clothing.
The young lady is beautiful and kind, and she is called a sister, and the two get along with each other.
The general is a sanctimonious and well-dressed beast, and often sexually harasses her, but he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous because of his daughter's affection.
One day half a year later, Miss Ma Wanqiu met and fell in love with a pianist nicknamed "Fengchen Piano Saint" and finally eloped.
This incident led to a earth-shaking change in the status quo, and Xia Wanzhen's life once again fell into a bottomless abyss.
The general was annoyed and angry, and took revenge on a weak woman, and on the night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, he revealed his true form and unscrupulously ** her.
The general sold her to a brothel for men to tread, in an attempt to make her suffer from all catastrophes.
The bustard forced her to engage in prostitution, and she would rather die than obey the traditional ideology.
The old bustard ordered the thugs to put her into the dim room, and the thugs pinched Wanzhen's nose and forcibly poured a lifelong sterilization ** into her mouth.
Then the old bustard rudely stripped Wanzhen of her clothes and made her naked, and eight big men ****ed her.
Xia Wanzhen fainted in pain, and the old bustard ordered someone to wake up with cold water.
Wanzhen still didn't give in.
The thugs whipped her with fierce whips, until her skin was torn apart and her flesh was completely exposed.
The old bustard was extremely angry, gritted his teeth, and kicked his lower body with his toes, so that the wolf-like men took turns to ravage the women again.
Although the old bustard's criminal law was heinous, Xia Wanzhen held on.
The bustard finally compromised, and Xia Wanzhen obtained the right to sell her art without selling herself, and took the stage name "Lily".
The pipa skills she learned with the young lady were perfect, and the money was not less, and the old bustard smiled all day long.
The fate of a prostitute is worse than death, and it is really tragic.
The bustard completely regarded prostitutes as a means of making money, and it was not uncommon for a girl to receive ten men a day, regardless of the number of prostitutes day and night, regardless of the number of clients.
If the girl was sick, the bustard would not pay for a doctor. The girl was too sick to take customers, so she did some hard and tiring chores.
Xia Wanzhen gritted her teeth with hatred and said that she was unwilling to die so innocently, she wanted to see with her own eyes what happened to the bad guy (Ma Shiying).
Xie Chenfeng asked movingly: "Is the Ma Shiying you are talking about Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang?" He came to Ma Shiying when he was in danger this time, and according to intelligence, the "Ming Military Defense Map" was in his hand.
"There is no one else, and he is turned to ashes, and I know him. Wanzhen said word by word.
She said that Ma Shiying is still lustful, and occasionally pesters her with both hard and soft or dead faces, and she basically ignores it except for the necessary playing and singing.
That guy has been unusually temperamental lately, and he is easy to get angry, and he even beat people for the sake of men and women, causing her to fall downstairs. This shows that Ma Shiying has encountered troubles or that his end is approaching. The happier she was when she saw Ma Shiying's abnormality, the happier she became.
It turned out that the middle-aged prostitute was Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and Xie Chenfeng already had his stereotype in his memory; He made up his mind to visit his house at a later date.
Chen Feng sincerely said that he would redeem himself for Xia Wanzhen.
She was grateful, and said that she was willing to be a cow and a horse by his side and serve all her life.
Except for Qian Qinzhen, he couldn't tolerate anyone else in his heart, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he said insincerely: "I hope you can live a stable and well-fed ordinary life in the future, and find a good family to marry." ”
Xia Wanzhen's pupils instantly eclipsed, and she whispered to herself with low self-esteem: "Good family, how can a good family marry such an unclean woman as me." ”
Chen Feng was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to comfort her. He put himself in his shoes and thought that he would not marry a woman from the Qinglou.
Chen Feng negotiated with the bustard about the redemption conditions and paid the deposit, and agreed to pay the money within ten days.
Xie Chenfeng stayed in Wanzhen's room for one night, and the red tape was not exhaustive. He was concerned about the "Ming Military Defense Map" and got up early in the morning to go out to reconnoiter the situation.
He first went to a prosperous restaurant to have some breakfast, mainly to listen to the common people of Jingshi discussing all kinds of current affairs news.
"Recently, a young swordsman has risen too powerful! Jianghu is nicknamed 'Golden Knife Hero', and none of them have failed to challenge the eight masters of Jianghu. ”
"This hero is a martial arts idiot, it is said that as long as he hears about someone's martial arts, he will travel thousands of miles to find someone to learn. ”
"Absolute insider revelations, it is said that the hero's background is a fisherman, because the fishing boat ran aground on the reef and drifted to a nameless island, because of the blessing of misfortune, he actually met a master outside the world and learned peerless knife skills. ”
"There is even more explosive news, it is said that his ex-wife is the owner of Tianhu Island, the 'poppy fairy' Tong Jingwen. ”
"It's definitely chasing after the wind, and I can't believe that these two people can be related anyway. ”
"You don't know this, the 'Poppy Fairy' eloped with the former island owner 'Red Bee Ronin', so he had the opportunity to be the current owner of Tianhu Island. ”
......
Outside suddenly became noisy, there were beatings, scolding, and screams, and Chen Feng heard the discussion that it seemed that someone had eaten something and didn't give money. The strange thing is that the guests seem to be used to this kind of thing, and no one gets up to see it as if nothing happened.
Chen Feng just wanted to get up to see what was going on, but was pulled down by a well-meaning guest.
"Don't worry about such boring things. ”
Chen Feng asked in surprise, "Why?"
The person who eats white food is called Yongshoukang, who takes begging as his profession, and is nicknamed "Flying Kidnapper", the first Laipi in Jinling City. It is most appropriate to evaluate his life by 'being angry and unhappy'. As long as he has a generous hand, he goes to gamble or eats and drinks and spends it all, and he talks about it as a big man. When he was penniless, he was listless, his head hung and he begged pitifully, or he pretended to be arrogant and drank and ate without hesitation, only to be beaten by the shopkeepers and vomited everything he had eaten. Ordinary people would be ashamed of this situation, but he proudly boasted to others about his tricks of cheating. Not to mention, he has really succeeded repeatedly, and the hotel generally eats first and then calculates, and it is not clear when it has money or not. He is so thick-skinned that he is not afraid of beating, he is not afraid of contempt, and he lives leisurely. This is how the "flying kidnappers" survive.
Xie Chenfeng couldn't bear it after all, and settled the account with the shopkeeper for the "flying kidnapper".
The shopkeepers indignantly told the man that he was lucky, and he stopped beating him and shook his wrists as if he was not satisfied.
The man limped over to thank him as he brushed his hair back with his hand, and then stared at the food on the table with hungry eyes, although blood was still dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Isn't this person the beggar who wants money and doesn't want to die? Thinking of that funny demeanor, Chen Feng almost couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Feng lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks to signal that the man could eat and drink.
The man's eyes sparkled with surprise as if he had been amnestied, and he devoured the food and drinks. He habitually brought a plate and was about to lower his five claws, Huo Ran found that it was an empty plate that had been eaten up, so he had to put it down in a daze, and he touched his throat and swallowed saliva without speaking, and rolled his upper eyelids to look at Chen Feng, seeing that the stomach was not enough.
Simply a good person to the end, Chen Feng instructed the guy to serve wine and food until the kidnapper himself stopped.
The crutch comfortably stroked his round belly and burped constantly, and the white of his eyes kept rolling. He felt like he had eaten so much for the first time in his life, as if food was stuffed in his throat and would squirm into his mouth if he moved it. If he used his own money to eat at most, he was reluctant to hold up a few more plates of food, and if he didn't eat for nothing, he would eat for nothing.
Chen Feng saw that the kidnapper was already full of wine and food, so he turned around and left. The crutch followed him like a plaster, chattering and spitting at him, and constantly picking his thumb and pointing at himself.
"Dude, I think you're a newcomer, right? If there's anything you ask, there's nothing in the whole of Jinling City that I can't do. ”
Chen Feng can be regarded as an old Jianghu who knows what role he is, and he only thinks that this person is sad and ridiculous, and he does not expose his big words. When he walked to a more secluded place, Chen Feng stopped and asked the abductor about Xia Wanchun and Ma Shiying.
The kidnapper said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Big brother, you are asking me the right person, I can touch every street and alley in Jinling City with my eyes closed, not to mention that you are talking about a place that is well known to passers-by, where to go first?" "He seems to have a bit of a warm feeling.
Xie Chenfeng said that he went to Xia Wanchun's mansion, it can be said that Xia Wanchun and Qian Qinzhen are relatives who think about him day and night, no matter what the situation is, if he doesn't see the previous side, there is always endless unstoppable concern in his heart.
The abductor is indeed a well-deserved land protection, and the human geography of Jinling is like a treasure.
In 1645, Songjiang fell, and Xia Yunyi committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. Xia Wanchun followed his teacher Chen Zilong to participate in the anti-Qing war and made many achievements, and was crowned "Shenwei General" by the imperial court, and now he is leading the army to Nanjing to prevent the Qing army from moving south.
Unconsciously, the two walked to a mansion, and the door beam was hung with a flying gold imperial plaque "General Shenwei", which looked majestic.
Xie Chenfeng wanted to visit the Xia Mansion alone, thanked the kidnapper repeatedly, and signaled him to leave.
The crutch hesitated insensibly, tilted his head and stared at him stupidly, mixing his left leg in a smug manner, and his right hand seemed to be hiding his thumb and index fingers at his waist.
It turned out that he was begging for a favor, and turning his face was even faster than turning a book, and this guy was ungrateful and didn't have the slightest sense of gratitude at all.
Xie Chenfeng couldn't help but be secretly angry, wishing that he would disappear from his eyes quickly, but he didn't care much about this kind of person, and angrily threw a ten-wen copper plate to him.
The crutch caught it nimbly, and limped away with a grin.
Most of the servants of the Xia Mansion were the old faces of Huating Village, and the appearance of Chen Feng was like a shocking shock to the Xia Mansion, and everyone told each other in surprise: "The eldest prince is back, the eldest prince who has been missing for three years is back!
Everyone put down what they were doing for the time being, and gathered in the living room to chat around Chenfeng.
Tatsukaze sensitively sensed that there was a hint of indifference and contempt hidden beneath the surface of many people's enthusiasm. The warmth of human affection, the hot and cold state of the world is nothing more than that, and Chen Feng can also understand it. He still seems to be unstable, but Xia Wanchun is already a general with a prominent title.
It's already a new look from the old, although the human face is still there, Chen Feng can't find the feeling of home, and he feels a little cramped and uneasy in the new Xia Mansion.
Yahuan Xu Mengqing still remembered the friendship of the old master, made tea, and politely entertained Xie Chenfeng.
He asked Xu Mengqing about the whereabouts of his master. Yahuan said that Qian Qinzhen found an errand in the palace to accompany the princess, and he would not return home until the evening, and Xia Wanchun led the army on the way to help Nanjing, and it was expected to arrive in the next two days.
Xie Chenfeng was very contradictory, both stunned and relieved, and he had a permanent attachment to Qin Zhen and a permanent guilt. He could not have predicted what the embarrassment and embarrassment would be when they met.
If you don't see it, Chen Feng ignored Yahuan's bitterness and decided not to stay anymore and got up to leave.
"Big brother, I haven't seen you for two or three years, why don't you treat this place as your home?" A familiar and friendly voice came from afar, clearly the voice of his younger brother Xia Wanchun.
Before the words fell, a heroic young man from far and near walked briskly, wearing a blue-purple robe, with a delicate face, revealing an elegant bookish atmosphere all over his body, but different from ordinary scholars, his eyes were bright, revealing perseverance and wisdom, and his behavior and demeanor all seemed resolute and capable. The person who came was Xia Wanchun.
It's better to come early than to come by chance, Xia Wanchun just led the army to be stationed on the outskirts of the city, and immediately took the time to go home to visit, and unexpectedly met the eldest brother who had been separated for three years, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
When the two teenagers meet, they inevitably complain to each other, and they tell each other about their experiences, and they are sad and melancholy.
In order to avoid a serious estrangement between his brothers, Chen Feng concealed his experience of joining the rebel army. He knew that Xia Wanchun had been exposed to Xia Yunyi's words and deeds to serve the country since he was a child, and he had long been unswervingly loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
There is no wine between brothers who are like each other, and alcohol and beautiful women can best make men exchange emotions with each other.
A few delicious side dishes and mellow and charming wine are already the best places in the world for men.
After a long absence, the two had endless topics to talk about, and with the increase in the amount of alcohol, they naturally talked about women, and the woman they liked was of course Qian Qinzhen.
Xia Wanchun's alcohol consumption was slightly less drunk, and his face showed loneliness and pain, "Regret, regret, regret! Regret was wishful thinking at the beginning, and now it has caused a wrong marriage, why do you want to back down? Emotions cannot be transferred, but unfortunately I understood too late, too late." ”
"Wanchun, you're really drunk, why are you talking nonsense. ”
Xia Wanchun was a little slurred;"People often say that I am drunk and drunk, I feel that I have never been so sober, what to say respectful like a guest raising my eyebrows, I know best that there is deliberate alienation and cold avoidance hidden under the politeness, I know that she still has not completely let go of her feelings for you, she is not in love with me, not me, I know this, but why am I still attached to her like a moth to a fire? Why can't I control my emotions?"
Impossible! It can't be! Chenfeng's mind twitched and tore in pain. The blood in the whole body was completely coagulated in that moment, and the intestines were short, and the soul was oozing blood. He was reluctant to admit it. He really hoped that she could completely forget the past and stop being attached to the old love, even if she resented him, Chen Feng's heart would feel more relaxed. The more infatuated she became, the more guilty and sad he felt.
Wan Chun's words were like a cold sword that brutally cut through the blood scab on Chenfeng's heart.
A love, a mistake, the hearts of the two teenagers are sobbing and dripping blood.
Chen Feng didn't dare to reveal his true emotions wantonly, now that she is Wanchun's wife after all, he can only bury his infinite thoughts and attachments deep in his heart, even if he has never forgotten her all the time.
His emotions were roaring and venting wildly and wantonly, and it could only be a beastly struggle in the cage of reason.
His emotions are like a lonely wolf wandering melancholy in the vast desert.
Even though his heart fluctuates, he has to act as if nothing happened. He had already missed a mistake that deeply hurt Qin Zhen, and he couldn't make a mistake again and again to hurt another relative, Wan Chun, who was both her husband and his younger brother.
Who can tell him whether it was right or wrong to give up at the beginning.
If the pain could be replaced, he would rather love a thousand cuts himself than let them be hurt at all. However, their pain is inseparable from themselves.
