After hearing Hua Yuan'er's words, Cheng Tie, who was devouring his food, stopped, swallowed the remaining food in his mouth, slowly raised his head, and exclaimed: "What? You are a mountain... uh uh uh!"
Hua Yuan'er quickly covered his mouth: "Brother Cheng, if we have something to say, please don't yell."
According to what Wei Lin just said, there are people around now. If these people know that a bandit has sneaked in, they may drown him with just a drop of spit.
Cheng Tie's attitude changed quickly, he pushed his hand away, and said solemnly: "Who is your brother Cheng? I don't call the bandits brothers. It's a pity that I gave you buns to eat just now. Tell me, you
How do you want to die?"
"Brother Cheng, can't we discuss it again? I'm a good person!" Hua Yuan'er held her chin with both hands, blinked and said cutely.
Tang Ji sneered and noticed the eyes of people around him. He gave Cheng Tie a look and motioned him to continue eating. Then he turned to Hua Yuan'er and asked, "So, why is Ma Chun'an afraid of you?"
Hua Yuan'er took a bite of the food and ate it, then lowered his voice and explained: "Brother Tang, you don't know something. Originally, there were more bandits in Hengzhou than there are stars in the sky, but in the past few years, large and small, large and small, have
All the villages in Heilong Village have been destroyed or conquered by our Black Dragon Village. Now within Hengzhou, no one dares to say one thing to our Black Dragon Village. If we are just a magistrate of Yanshui County, whoever Heilong Village wants to sit in can sit there. Then
Naturally, the Ma family does not dare to offend me."
Immediately, he continued to explain: "Although I am a bandit, I have never killed anyone, and the things I robbed were all those wealthy businessmen. I have also done what Wei Lin did. Not only that, I also robbed people."
He distributed the money to the people so that they could escape from the northwest. Later, his adoptive father found out about it and was driven down the mountain."
"Adoptive father?" Su Qing, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked.
Hua Yuan'er nodded slightly: "My foster father is the leader of Black Dragon Village. By the way, didn't you want to enter Yingzhou City before? The village will escort supplies there every once in a while. I should be able to find a way to take you there by then.
Go in."
After hearing what he said, Tang Ji frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why does Black Dragon Village send supplies to Yingzhou?"
Hua Yuan'er touched her ears, her eyes wandered around, and after some hesitation she replied: "Um...I don't know much about this either. I was driven down the mountain by my adoptive father a long time ago."
From a psychological perspective, this guy was obviously lying, but Tang Ji did not expose him. After thinking for a while, he replied: "I have found out clearly the day before yesterday that the relative who was originally in Dingzhou has fled to Yingzhou.
We are currently in Yingzhou City, so I hope Mr. Hua can take us in."
"This matter shouldn't be difficult, I'll take care of it." Hua Yuan'er vowed and patted his chest. Seeing that the other party accepted him, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave Tang Ji some food with chopsticks: "Oh, Brother Tang.
Stop calling me Hua Ge, I'm two years older than you, if you don't mind, call me Hua Ge."
"Okay." Tang Ji replied with a smile, and asked casually with a natural expression: "Since you don't commit murder and arson, why do you become a bandit and consider the leader of Black Dragon Village as your father?"
"Hey, actually my adoptive father was a pretty good person. When I was young, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly broke into my home, killed my father, and wanted to taint my mother. When my mother resisted, she knocked down the candlestick and burned the house. At this critical moment,
It was my adoptive father who saved my life. He taught me martial arts and literacy... In short, my adoptive father treated me like another parent." After saying this, Hua Yuan'er took a sip of strong wine with some melancholy.
Then he smiled and said: "When I was a child, I always heard my mother say that someone in my ancestors was an official in the court, or a doctor from the Imperial College. At that time, I also wanted to get a reputation and become a doctor so that my parents could live a good life. Later, my father told me about the border areas
There were barbarians from Jiang State who killed many people, and I wanted to be a warrior and protect the territory, but in the end..."
"It's nothing in the end..." Cheng Tie, who had already eaten and drank enough, leaned on the table and made another stab.
Hua Yuan'er curled her lips and smiled lightly: "Yeah, it's nothing!"
Tang Ji raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Don't say that. It's already good that you can care about the people while you are in a bandit camp. Maybe you can do something good in the future!"
Hua Yuan'er turned to look at him: "Brother Tang, for some reason, I always feel that your tone of voice sounds like an official."
"Ahem, what official? Have you ever seen such a young official?" Tang Ji quickly covered it up.
Hua Yuan'er thought about it carefully, then nodded silently: "That's right, I think those officials who are less than half a century old have to make a living. You are so young, it is really impossible."
In this way, several people chatted without a word until the luncheon was over.
In the afternoon, outside Wei's house.
Wei Long and his son followed the four of them out of the door one after another. The former said with a smile: "Heroes, if you have nothing to do tonight, please come to the mansion for dinner."
"No need, so as not to cause trouble to the Wei family again!" Hua Yuan'er crossed her arms and replied casually.
Wei Lin hurriedly took a small step forward, clasped his fists and said: "Four benefactors, the food in the evening will be better. Why don't you stay and leave after the dinner is over? If it's too late, our Wei family also has many guest rooms available.
You guys have a rest."
Tang Ji stood up and returned the greeting: "No, we still have things to do. If we have a chance, we will come back to visit you later. I wish Mr. Wei and Miss Chu a happy marriage and a son soon!"
If they stay any longer, let alone whether Old Man Sun will curse them to death, he himself will also be trapped to death.
Hearing this, Wei Lin couldn't hold on any longer and raised his hand to signal to the servant behind him.
Soon, the servant walked up to Tang Ji carrying a wooden tray covered with red cloth.
The latter stretched out his hand to open a corner and found that what was lying inside was all white silver.
Wei Lin quickly explained: "Small gifts are not respectful."
Tang Ji took a step back and said with a smile: "I don't need it, and it's not easy for you either. Just keep the money to help the people!"
Hua Yuan'er's eyes lit up, he reached out and took out two or three coins and put them into his pocket. He giggled twice: "Hey, I just don't have enough money to buy wine, so you're welcome!"
Tang Ji glanced at him and knew that this guy had no money. It was a shame that he didn't go to dinner with him, otherwise he would have to pay for it himself. He stopped thinking about it, said goodbye to Wei Long and his son again, and then turned and walked towards the street.
.
Looking at their retreating figures, Wei Long sighed: "Today we have completely fallen out with the Ma family. Lin'er, be prepared to evacuate Hengzhou at any time. Dad has given you all his life experience. Let's
If we change places, we can make a comeback!"
Wei Lin withdrew his gaze and listened to the conversation between the four people at the dinner table. He always felt that the handsome young man was not simple, and he didn't know what they were going for. Can he wait for "Moonlight" to do it?
He took a deep breath, recovered his thoughts, and replied: "I know, Dad!"
After walking for a while, Hua Yuan'er asked: "Brother Tang, where do you live? When do you plan to leave?"
Tang Ji and Su Qing looked at each other. Since Yingzhou City is now sealed off, there is no point in worrying. They replied: "We are staying at the Ning'an Inn in Nancheng. We are a little tired from the journey and plan to take a day off."
, and we’ll leave again tomorrow morning.”
Hua Yuan'er nodded: "Okay, then I will go find you tomorrow morning. Black Dragon Mountain is in the west of Yanshui County. We can just leave directly from Xicheng tomorrow."
In this way, the few of them hit it off and were about to separate on the street in front of them, but were stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw a disheveled girl being driven out of a small building. Her white clothes were torn open several times, and some of her more private parts were exposed. Her hair was in a mess, and her face and arms were
He was also bruised and purple, his eyes had turned gray, revealing endless despair, and he sat paralyzed on the ground.
The next second, Ma Chun'an walked out with a smile on his face, straightened his clothes, took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his sleeve and smashed it on the woman's head. Then he looked up at Tang Ji and the others and sneered: "
Here, the uncle will reward you, but those cheap bones in the brothel won’t get so much.”
After saying that, he burst out laughing and turned to leave.
The woman looked down at the silver ingots on the ground, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she just sat quietly.
Tang Ji already understood what happened, and was about to go up to comfort him: "Auntie..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the woman in white stand up suddenly and hit the wall of the small building. Her body slowly collapsed to the ground, and a trace of blood slid down the wall.
All this happened in an instant, and even Su Qing, who had the highest martial arts among the four, could not react.
The four of them ran over quickly. Tang Ji put his hand in front of the woman's nose and found that she was still breathing. He quickly took out a Huihun Powder that Old Man Sun had given him from his sleeve, rubbed it twice and squeezed out the powder and stuffed it into her vagina.
He continued: "Hurry, there is a pharmacy near Wei's house!"
Cheng Tie had no ink mark, so he picked up the woman and ran towards the Wei family.
Tang Ji clenched his hands into fists. All this was definitely not a coincidence. Ma Chunan had kept the time so accurately just because he wanted to show them. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Hua, it seems we are leaving tonight."
Hua Yuan'er also had an angry look on his face. It had been a long time since he met someone who dared to challenge him. He replied in a deep voice: "Leave that beast to me!"
