With Qishan's understanding of Shen Tang, he knew that Shen Xiaolangjun was not a person who would stay in one place peacefully. He was worried that something might happen, so he hurriedly finished what he had to do and rushed back as soon as possible. The result——
Where are people?
Where is such a big Mr. Shen Xiaolang?
Qishan stood there, his face slightly green.
Just as he was thinking about whether Shen Tang was taken away by Paihuazi or she took away Paihuazi, a strange and calm male voice sounded in his ears.
"Is this Mr. Qishan, Mr. Qihuang?"
"Hello, father-in-law, I am just praying for kindness."
Praying for good deeds to calm down the anxiety, he crossed his hands and bowed to the person coming.
After the ceremony, he straightened up and secretly observed the appearance of the person who came - gray hair, old appearance, weathered face, estimated to be forty or fifty years old, wearing yellow and old trousers and wearing straw sandals. These were not enough to arouse Qi Shan's curiosity. What surprised him was that this man had a gentle and elegant temperament, his eyebrows were calm and straight, and his black eyes were too clear for his age.
He lowered his eyelids and his gaze fell on the person's hands.
They were a pair of rough old hands with frostbite marks, and they were carrying several meat dishes wrapped in lotus leaves. Their owner should be a person who had been doing menial work for a long time and came from a poor family. Various analyzes passed through his mind quickly at this moment. Gradually it settles into clarity.
He asked calmly: "How do you know Shan's name?"
The visitor smiled kindly and said, "That young man surnamed Shen said it."
Qishan immediately knew who "Xiaolang surnamed Shen" was.
The worry that was holding in his chest disappeared with the news, and he asked the visitor again: "Did that young man leave any words?"
"Yes, he said, 'I'm going out of town to do some business and I'll be back later.'"
Qishan didn't know what to say. Shen Xiaolangjun didn't know the way at all. He had never been to Xiaocheng before. What could he do if he left the city?
Qi Shan asked again: "Can you tell me what to do?"
The visitor said: "Do justice for heaven, punish evil and promote good."
Qi Shan: “…???”
He looked suspicious, no, why did this sound wrong? It seemed like the cult doctrine that the mob was talking about?
Visitor: "Mr. Shen is worried that you won't find anyone when you come back, so I specifically asked you to wait here so that Mr. Qi won't worry."
Qi Shan sighed angrily: "How could Shan be worried about him? Even if he was worried, he would be worried about offending his Xiaoxiao..."
The visitor pursed his lips unnaturally and suppressed a knowing smile.
I have to say, the judgment is quite accurate.
When Qishan asked about Shen Tang's "wonderful" experience at this moment from a stranger, his expression management lost control for a moment - he had only been away for more than an hour, did Shen Xiaolangjun recruit people like this? It's just that things have already happened, so what else can be said It's no use either.
Qi Shan chatted while waiting for Shen Tang to come back.
He was calm on the face, but full of doubts in his heart.
This old man looks like a poor man, but his speech, behavior and demeanor make him look like he was brought up by a rich family who has been soaked in incense all year round. Even though he is wearing yellow and old trousers, his hands are full. It's the traces of rough work, but it still doesn't change its charm.
As they talked, Qi Shan chatted about Yan Ling.
He has recently studied the spirit of military formation - "Throw yourself into a trap" and "Trapped beast still fights". The former is used to arrange troops and deceive the enemy's troops, while the latter is mostly used to stimulate the momentum when one's own situation is defeated, which is the final struggle. If you seize the opportunity, there is also a chance for a comeback.
When the old man heard Qi Shan talk, he seemed to be in a trance for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of, and he said: "Throw yourself into a snare, and you will be destroyed..." The words used by Qi Langjun are like, "You can't see a bird in the fence, but you can see a harrier." Surrender yourself to Luo'? That's not good."
Qi Shan was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is it bad?"
"It's easy to be targeted. If the enemy's planners are more thoughtful than you, you can break the formation by just 'drawing your sword and setting up a net, so that the oriole can fly'."
If the net is broken by a sharp sword, can it still trap the oriole?
Since the sky is high and birds can fly, the troubles will be endless.
"Then, in my opinion, what's better?"
"It's better to sink water into fire and bring about your own destruction."
Qishan: "..."
If "throwing oneself into a trap" still leaves a way for people to survive, and if there is an opportunity to "draw a sword and drag a trap with them," the words that the father-in-law mentioned are the killing moves that kill the enemy, full of murderous intent. Qi Shan looked at it with some surprise. My father-in-law, this guy looks kind, but he wants to kill people when he opens his mouth.
"Then - in my opinion, the trapped beast is still fighting?"
The old man was uninterested and indifferent, but he said something astonishing: "On the battlefield, the enemy will fight to the death. If you have the mentality of 'a trapped beast still fighting' and leave room for action, you may not be able to win for a long time."
Qishan: "..."
It is true that people should not be judged by their appearances.
He thought he was good enough to take the wrong path, but he didn't expect to meet someone who was more biased than him, but this old man... Before Qi Shan had any more ideas, Shen Tang trotted over on the mule. He jumped up. He came down and said with a smile: "Yuanliang, I've been waiting for a long time."
Qishan put away his unnecessary thoughts and took a closer look at Shen Tang's clothes and hands. They were clean. Could it be that no one was killed?
“You said ‘do justice for heaven, punish evil and promote good’, but what about ‘evil’?”
Shen Tang leaned on the motorcycle, his eyes dancing with joy: "They are fast on their feet. They can probably ask Po Meng for a bowl of soup by now."
Qishan: "..."
The word "evil" in co-authorship is really plural.
This Mr. Shen Xiaolang is also very violent.
When the father-in-law saw that Shen and Tang were meeting, he said goodbye.
Qishan hurriedly asked his father-in-law where he lived now, and if there was an opportunity to discuss the matter, he politely declined.
Seeing his father-in-law leaving with several lotus leaf bags, Qi Shan frowned and didn't come back to his senses until Shen Tang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"What?"
Angrily, he slapped the back of Shen Tang's hand away.
Shen Tang said: "No matter how much you look at me, you will never look back."
Qi Shan murmured: "What a pity."
Shen Tang took out two candy canes and chewed them, then trotted up to keep up with Qishan's steps, and curiously asked: "What's the pity?"
Qishan said: "This person is not simple."
Shen Tang thought he was going to say something. Even a blind person could see it. She said: "It's certainly not easy to catch someone at a glance if you are thrown into the vast sea of people. His temperament doesn't look like an ordinary person. I don't know. Is it the family's decline or some other change?"
It’s not that she didn’t guess that the old man was a hermit who “lived in the city and lived in the wilderness”, but a hermit also had the character of a hermit. No matter how poor his life was, he wouldn’t live in shabby clothes that ordinary people would despise. Still doing so much heavy work.
Qishan didn't answer, so Shen Tang asked again: "Seeing that you were having a great time chatting with each other, and you seemed to regret meeting each other so late, what were you talking about?"
"Yan Ling."
"He has a literary heart?"
Qishan lowered his eyes: "Maybe, it has happened before."
Shen Tang: "???"
Did it once exist, does it mean it doesn't exist anymore?
For someone like Qi Shan to like him, the two of them must be "like each other". Shen Tang couldn't help but wonder - why did the old man lose Wen Xin? Could it be that the Dan Mansion was forcibly abolished just like the Gong family was confiscated and exiled? Crush Wen Xin?
Qishan was walking and found that the footsteps behind him were missing.
When he turned his head, he saw Shen Tang running to a butcher shop that was closing down its stalls, asking the butcher about something, and ran back after a while.
