Chapter 20 A Look at Winter and Summer Five
After creating such a big mess, someone has to put an end to it.
Huaiyi's violent temper obviously had no effect at this moment, and Yang Ying fell into helplessness.
Late at night, the wild crows in the mountains sing alone.
Outside the granary, Yang Ying had been sitting on the threshold and never left.
He recalled the changes that had taken place this year. Looking from a distance, Renyi Hall looked like a piece of jade embedded in Mount Barton.
"It's a desert and arid north. I've been here for decades. I'm so lucky. This place is quite pleasant."
His heart was like a lone crow mourning, but he didn't show it completely on his face. Seeing the harvest from the grain farm that he had run for a year, he kept cheering for himself, and also for the repayment of the cavalry army at Renyi Village.
Do a favor.
However, matters of human nature are difficult to deal with. Especially when rules are still filling people's hearts, although some things are done in a cumbersome and polite way, but there is someone in my heart who is not clear, and when I am speechless and unable to stretch out my hand, I will probably still have to do it.
Follow the rules.
The bright moonlight shone down on the barnyard, and a few strands of beard reached his neck. He looked very haggard as he stared blankly at the yard.
Although mentally and physically exhausted, Jia Tang gave Yang Ying an important mission. No matter how difficult the years were, the replacement mission was just to repay a favor that had changed.
Everything that happened today gave him a chance to think. After all the busy figures quieted down that night, he thought about these issues in detail.
The words he said when he was appointed to Jia Tang are still fresh in his mind, and as those people left one after another, Yang Ying could no longer find the shadow of the original in the present time.
Suddenly a fire crackled in the yard, and a burnt black potato knot rolled over from there.
He absent-mindedly slapped away the burnt shell of the potato with a stick, and slowly moved his eyes towards the fire.
"Huaiyi, bake more, I owe my brothers a lunch meal, so please open my bag too!"
"Cut! Keep it. You can eat your new potato balls with your head. I asked my wife to bring over all the ones stored in the cellar."
Perhaps the one who warmed people's hearts here was a brother like Huaiyi. Although his words were a bit rough, Yang Ying knew in his heart that this reckless man was the most real person he had ever seen in the village.
Even though I heard that he was a jerk in the past, after spending time together, I realized that I'm afraid there won't be another such a free and easy person in the whole city.
As long as Huaiyi opens his mouth, he cannot be stubborn. The brothers in Zhuang Shang all understand that if he promises something and someone refutes it, it will be a great insult to him.
Yang Ying smiled, cooled the potato with soil and gently broke it open. The unique fragrance of the old potato instantly filled his heart. He couldn't bear to peel off the skin of the potato and gnawed it down.
"You can really eat the flowers out of the potato, bake it, or boil it."
"Hey, anyone who eats potatoes here can eat flowers, but if you want to say who loves those thin potato balls the most, it's Jinggan..."
"Jinggan..."
The two of them accidentally talked about Ma Jingqian, and suddenly the atmosphere became heavy again, and they silenced each other in tacit agreement.
After pouring in half the bag of potatoes, Huaiyi threw in a few more ones that had been burnt to charcoal.
This operation is a bit strange. Since it has been burnt, maybe there is still some white flesh left after breaking it apart.
But Yang Ying didn't find it strange at all. He saw Huaiyi's face, which had not been sad for a long time, actually looked a little sad.
Huaiyi squatted half-crouched, rubbing the charcoal into ashes and muttering in his mouth.
"It's been a long time since potatoes are in good season again. Brother, you said I'm not one of your seven heroes, so I don't know how to eat potatoes, haha!"
The sudden sadness filled the flames with oil. For a moment, Yang Ying inadvertently seemed to see a thin figure riding a horse in the flames, walking out with a smile on his back and carrying a heavy sword.
.
Huaiyi seemed to have forgotten himself. At first he didn't dare to sob too loudly, but finally he couldn't hold back and slapped himself in the face.
The palm was crisp and loud, and when Yang Ying came back to his senses, Huaiyi was already crying.
"Huaiyi!"
"Huaiyi...please keep your voice down!"
It is surrounded by a flat field, and in front of the outer fence is a grass stream. Although the grass stream does not affect the threshing of grains in the field, weeds as tall as a person are overgrown for almost two or three miles.
There are always wild animals moving here after autumn, but after what happened today, Yang Ying always felt that the grassy land always gave people an uneasy feeling.
Ma Jingqian, this familiar name used to be a heroic figure in Renyi Village in the past, but in today's complex world, whenever anyone mentions this name again, it will attract dissatisfaction from more than just the master.
But to this day, many people still remember this name in their hearts. I am afraid that some people will regret the death of this person throughout their lives, and some people will be terrified for the rest of their lives because this person's body disappeared.
As soon as Yang Ying walked over, Huaiyi burst into tears again. Maybe Yang Ying didn't understand their friendship deeply, but Ma Jingqian's departure is still a bit strange to Yang Ying.
"Everyone is gone, and those who are still alive must be strong. Although I don't know much about Jinggan, I can feel from the short acquaintance that he is by no means the traitor that Xiongzhen people say.
Evil man!"
Some brothers knew that there was something fishy but never mentioned a word about what was going on after Ma Jingqian left. Huaiyi tolerated this for a long time, until everyone who had been with him left one by one and he could no longer be strong.
This year's autumn harvest made Huaiyi even more lonely than last year. Although he and the mute woman in Dongzhen already had a child, he could no longer find a reason to continue his life in the future.
The reason why he stayed here was to keep a secret that only he knew. He couldn't bear this secret because what happened during the leader's wedding made Huaiyi's heart alienate from Renyi Village.
But seeing Xu Yuan's hand reaching out today was far beyond the caution he had shown when he forced Ma Jingqian away. His anger turned to resentment, and finally he couldn't stand it any longer at this night.
"Hall Master Yang, tell me, after passing the fourth gate, do I no longer belong to Renyi Hall?"
Huai Yi's sudden question shocked Yang Ying. How could there be one less brother who really worked for Xiong Zhen and Renyi Village at the critical moment? What's more, with Huai Yi's special status, even if the leader dismissed his hall master
It’s a job, but it’s not like that.
Faced with this problem, Yang Ying was a little hesitant.
He thought for a while, picked up the potato, broke it in half and put one half into Huaiyi's hand.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? There are still a lot of things to be busy with during the autumn harvest. Moreover, Xiongzhen is getting better and better day by day. We are all looking forward to the day when we can truly establish a foothold in the northwest, but by then... how can we miss you by then?"
