Chapter 9
The continuous green mountains are surrounded by a large area of fertile fields, with houses lined with sunlight scattered in the rice fields and on the avenue beside the fields. Some people are rushing to the town, and some are out for a walk, with people coming and going, and it is very lively.
Hu Tong was quite proud of seeing passers-by avoiding him. He shook his left leg, his face shook and his horizontal flesh, and he looked at the father and daughter kneeling in front of him with a smile: "How many days have passed? The land rent cannot be paid for this. If this continues, I will be blamed by my uncle." As he said, he looked at Mr. Zhang's slightly handsome daughter, "That's it, Mr. Zhang, you see, I am not an unreasonable person. Your daughter will pay us debts, and the previous land rent will be cancelled." He raised his hand and several subordinates surrounded him and pulled him.
Old Zhang held his daughter tightly, and his throat was hoarse: "Master Hu, please, please let me go, let my girl go, the villain will definitely pay the rent for the land!" As he said that, he kowtowed to the ground several times, and the forehead was bleeding.
Hu Tong's face shook with flesh when he heard this, and he said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm already done with kindness and righteousness. I don't know if your daughter can afford it, so she may not be able to get the money back!"
"Dad!" Old Zhang's daughter was so angry that she cried. People who were passing by on the road quickly avoided and dared not stay for a while. No one dared to go against Hu Tong, and there was no way out after offending her.
What will happen to her? It would be fine if she was sold to be a girl; if she entered a brothel, she would be afraid that she would be worse than death in her life!
Thinking of this, she was so scared that her face turned pale and soft on the ground.
Hu Tong took out his ears with his hands and said impatiently: "Let's go, it's a big deal to make me feel a headache!" Several subordinates hurriedly dragged and pulled him, and Old Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to hug Hu Tong's legs tightly, refusing to let go.
Why are there no one on the road to make trouble? No one dares to watch the fun? Hu Tong is the nephew of Master Guan. If he offended him, casual drinks are enough. It is too late to hide. Who dares to meddle in other people's business?
The surrounding Jingzuo made Old Zhang's daughter cry deafeningly. Hu Tong kicked Old Zhang away, stepped forward and slapped her a few ears to shut up.
As I looked up cursing, I saw a person slowly walking in the green woods in the distance. The blue shirt was so simple that it looked very elegant. I couldn't see clearly, but I could tell who it was from the demeanor of my body.
Hu Tong was delighted and had been looking for this person for a long time. Now he responded to the old saying "I searched for it without any effort when I got it." He hurried forward and looked flattering: "Young Master Ye, it's such a coincidence. I'm looking for you everywhere, but I don't want to meet you here."
Old daughter Zhang looked up and saw someone walking towards her. Her facial features were elegant, her eyes were black and white, and she was clean and dusty. When the wind blew, the broken hair hanging from her forehead gently brushed up. A piece of annoying red spots appeared in front of her. It’s a pity that this face, if there were no red spots, I don’t know what harmed people.
The person who came was clean without any impurities, and he smiled gently on the corners of his mouth, and was considerate: "I wonder what Mr. Hu is looking for?"
Hu Tong was obviously very helpful. His uncle repeatedly told the nobles who were kind to be so polite to him, how to avoid being so polite to him. He only regretted that there were too few people he saw now and did not let him show his face.
Hu Tong smiled so hard that the flesh on his face squeezed into a pile: "I'm holding a banquet in my uncle's mansion, and I'm very special to send me an invitation."
Hu Tong took out the gold-burning invitation from his arms and handed it on with both hands, "Uncle said, "If you have time, can you go and have a look?"
Xibai and clean, with clear joints, took the invitation, "I'm sorry, I'll go to the banquet if I'm free."
Hu Tong was about to reply, and the old man Zhang behind him had already fallen to Ye Rongzhi: "Young Master, please tell Mr. Hu, it would be better to give up the villain for another day. The villain will definitely pay off the rent in the field, and your great kindness and virtue will definitely repay you!"
Hu Tong was so angry that he was furious when he saw this situation that the old man was at this critical moment that he wanted to kick Mr. Zhang away, but because Ye Rongzhi was not good at doing this, he was so angry that he saw Ye Rongzhi's face calm as if he had not heard of it. He put the invitation into his sleeve, walked around Mr. Zhang, and walked slowly.
Mr. Zhang was stunned when he saw this. He looked at the man with clear eyes and elegant temperament. He thought he was a good person, but he forgot that he could not see his appearance. When he thought that he could not save his daughter, Mr. Zhang was distraught: "I will fight with you!" As he said that, he rushed up and fought with them. Several subordinates had long been impatient. He held Mr. Zhang and kicked him hard.
"Dad, don't hit my dad, please, can't I leave with you?" Old Lao's daughter cried hoarsely, and no one paid attention to her.
The departed man was in a steady pace and always wandering in the garden.
On the other side, a man and a horse came from deep in the green forest, followed by a carriage, and in a short while he arrived.
The young master was majestic and dressed in extraordinary clothes. Seeing this description, he asked, "What are you doing?!" His tone was high, and he had a little bit of aura that only rich children had. Hu Tong and his men stopped and looked over.
While supporting Mr. Zhang, Old Man, cried, "Young Master, please help me!"
Hu Tong knew at a glance that the young master of the family was out for a walk and was meddling in other people's business. He couldn't help but sneer: "Grandson, wait until you have grown all your hair before you will be in charge of grandpa's business!"
He thought that the boy would be unable to calm down when he was stimulated, but he didn't expect that instead he laughed and said to the carriage with a little regret: "Master, we are afraid we will waste some time."
"It's okay, let's go after it's done." There was a woman in the carriage, her voice was quite clear and pleasant as if she was falling. She seemed very young, but she unexpectedly was a female gentleman.
The person who left in the distance paused in a steady pace when he heard this. He turned to see the person on the horse. His eyes slightly rippled for a moment and returned to calm. His eyes were cold and he looked at the carriage.
Seeing this situation, Hu Tong was already impatient and shouted at them: "What? Don't worry if you don't have that gut duct, what's the point of whining with women there!"
Yanzhi, who was originally nestled in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest, became a little interested when she heard this. She has been in the world for more than eight years, but she rarely sees someone with such a loud voice, which makes her feel a headache.
She lifted the curtain casually and looked up at Hu Tong, but was attracted by the person not far behind him. The person with great temperament was naturally outstanding among these people. The first person to pay attention to was him.
There was a red birthmark on his face. Yanzhi was in a daze for a moment and then looked carefully. He recognized it. It was Ye Rongzhi. Now he has grown up and is indeed much better than the actors in the mass grave. If it weren't for this birthmark, she wouldn't have recognized it.
Seeing him looking at this place, Yanzhi frowned slightly. She used to be like that, but now there has been no change. I wonder if he will remember her.
Now is different from the past. She has come to the mortal world and is already like a mortal. She has no magic power to protect herself. If he remembers to say something, I am afraid that others will mount her like a monster and burn it.
She thought about it and looked away, put down the curtain, and said to Li Yanzong: "Troubleshoot quickly, it's too noisy."
Li Yanzong hurriedly responded and said, "He has seen such things for a lot of time, it is nothing more than money." He doesn't want to get involved with such people."
He took out a 500 taels of silver bill from his arms and whispered to Hu Tong: "I will give you the silver. If you let this father and daughter go, they will not give you anything. No matter how you get involved, it will be useless. It would be better to take my money to settle the matter."
Li Shu, who was driving the horse, quickly got off the carriage, took the silver notes from Li Yanzong, ran straight to Hu Tong, and handed them to him.
Hu Tong looked at the silver notes in front of him and reached out to take them. The silver delivered to him was naturally not in vain. The poor daughter could only sell a few taels of silver at most. Since someone was willing to be the sucker, he was naturally willing.
Hu Tong took the silver notes with satisfaction and put them in his arms, and said to the father and daughter who cried with joy: "You are lucky today, and I will let you go this time."
Li Yanzong smiled with contempt when he heard this, and tried to squeeze his horse's belly and walked forward. When he passed by Ye Rong, he couldn't help but look at him. He thought that this person had a very good attitude and did not feel ashamed of the eye-catching birthmark on his face. Instead, because of his demeanor, people ignored his appearance. At first glance, they felt very kind. As expected, this place was a Feng Shui treasure land, and it was the first time I saw such a person.
Yanzhi was sitting in the carriage and was worried. After thinking about it, she felt that she was worried too much. She left that year, and he was only seven years old. Now more than ten years have passed. How could she still remember it? In other words, even if she remembers it, she must not remember it clearly.
Thinking of this, she still lifted the curtain on the side of the car and looked outside. She was facing Ye Rongzhi's clear eyebrows and eyes. Seeing Yanzhi look at him, he smiled slightly, and then opened his eyes, looking like a polite and gentleman.
Yanzhi covered the curtain, happy that he did not recognize her, and felt that he was quite indebted to him, and his heart was very complicated for a moment.
Ye Rongzhi stood there and looked coldly as the carriage left far away. The smile on his face had already faded and there was no trace, as if it had never appeared before...
The author has something to say: Danqingshou: "Come on, are you happy to see your master?"
Ye Rongzhi: "I'm very happy."
