Chapter 10 The Fox Laughs
The sky was just shiny, and the village at the foot of the mountain was already noisy. When they heard Wang Jinqiu's shouting, the villagers learned that Geng Qing had disappeared before dawn this morning.
The woman searched all the inside and outside but couldn't see anyone. Now her husband was injured and fell on the couch. Now her son suddenly couldn't find him again, so she burst into tears. The people around her had to comfort her first.
"Aunt his aunt, Dazhu should be fine, don't think too much."
"Bad, if my father is beaten, I have to fight to the death! I must have gone to find that Liu Mang."
"...I remember your father was hit on the back yesterday, why didn't you go?"
"I'll just talk..."
Even though he was talking about making trouble, many people still helped to find it. They first searched the mountain behind him. After all, what if Geng Qing went to find herbs for his father?
The misty sky extended. At this time, the young man mentioned in the crowd was walking on the dirt road in the mountains. He stepped down toward the Niujiaji. When the sky was bright, he finally arrived at the restaurant. He sat at the door of a shop with a dull expression. When the store opened the door to do business, he smiled on his face. He spent more than a dozen yuan to buy a small bread of pastries and asked where Li Zheng lived.
"You said Wang Lizheng? His house is not far from here, but you can see the intersection in front? Turn left and the third house is."
After thanking the guy, he took the pastry and walked slowly towards the other side. Geng Qing reorganized his mind and thought about his thoughts and words all night long.
The dilapidated streets gradually became lively, and the vendors who set up stalls prepared the cakes and porridge they sold in the morning; the woman who came out with a chamber pot looked at no one noticed, fell to the nearby tree, attracting the scolding of another family.
As the sound of the city was talking, Geng Qing followed the address and asked people along the way. He found the Lizheng home. He knocked on the door panel for a moment. A gap appeared in the door. He was a thick woman with a big disc face, about forty years old. He looked carefully at the dark and thin young man outside the door. The coarse linen clothes were patches everywhere, but the sun was smiling.
"Who are you?"
"I'll ask, is Li Zheng's house here?" Geng Qing bowed politely, and the gift he was carrying was shaking under his hands. The woman saw it at a glance, and did not drive him away, but just nodded.
"It's here, what's the matter with you?"
"This sister, I came from Gengjia Village. I have a great thing. I want to talk to your family."
The woman was stunned for a moment without intentional 'big sister', frowned and was about to close the door: "Screamlessly."
Geng Qing quickly stretched out his foot to press the door against it, his movements seemed clumsy.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm obviously very young. Wouldn't it be abrupt to call me aunt?"
The woman stopped closing the door, subconsciously touched her face, smiled faintly with her lips, and looked at the young man outside the crack in the door with a charming look, twisted his thick waist and turned around, and Geng Qing pushed the door in.
"You guy is telling the truth, come in and sit inside, sister go and call the dead ghost down."
"Oh, I'm sorry, sister."
Geng Qing was kind and put the gifts he brought on the table. The room was not big, but it had two floors, and the living room was connected to the kitchen. This was a common pattern.
After finding a chair and sitting down, less than a moment, there was a tinging sound from above. A thin man hurriedly came down from the upper floor with his belt. Seeing Geng Qing sitting up there, he ignored it and walked straight to the patio outside, rubbed it on his face, and wiped it dry. He came over and sat down opposite the young man.
"I heard from my wife that you are from Gengjia Village. You ran over from afar. What are you talking about when you look for me?"
I took a piece of cake from the table and broke it apart, turned my face and slowly pulled it off and threw it into my mouth. I never looked at the young man opposite from me from beginning to end.
"Liu...Don't Master Liu want the fields in Gengjia Village? This is my family's... Tianqi..."
Geng Qing timidly took out a wrinkled stack of paper from his arms and placed it carefully on the table. He turned his face in the pancake and stared at the deed paper. He just looked at the young man opposite him, an ordinary farmer with a dark face and shy expression. He also had many people, and he knew at a glance that his expression could not be fake.
“Only one?”
"My house only has one acre of land, and there is no more." Geng Qing was afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied, so he pushed the gift over in a panic, took out a purse from his arms, poured it onto the table, and there were a rumbling sound.
"This is the savings of the family... I gave it to Li Zheng, and I just asked Li Zheng to help me say more good things to Mr. Liu, so that my acre of land can be sold at a good price."
Opposite, there was half a piece of cake. He had not seen the money before. Last night, Mr. Liu asked someone to give him a gift of 100% of the table. Naturally, he would not take the two or three hundred documents on the table seriously, but it was put on his lips. It was useless to eat it, but he was still a little confused.
"It's fine if you don't want to sell land in Gengjia Village, but you beat Master Liu's servant. What's the reason? What do you mean when you come to my house again today and say these words?"
"They don't sell it, but I think." Geng Qing pointed to the direction of Gengjia Village outside the door, with a little excited expression. "To be honest, my father was hit in the head yesterday. Now he can't afford to sit on the couch. I've been seriously ill again and can't work. I'm not waiting to die. If I can exchange some money and go to the city to find a way out, it's better to live than to be trapped in the mountains."
Hahaha...
Li chuckled and uncovered the gift oil paper cloth, took the pastry and took a bite, "It turns out that the one who was beaten yesterday was your father. Don't you hold a grudge?"
"I won't go here to talk about it, and I won't take the Tianqi to my door for free. This thing can't be fake." Geng Qing patted the official seal of the yamen on the deed paper.
‘This is not fake.’
I was twisting my butt and changing my position. I was thinking about it. On the stairs there, the woman wore a red flower and saw the money placed on the table. She looked at the young man more and more at the eyes. She leaned over her husband with a smile and pushed her elbow.
"This is my brother, don't be suspicious."
As he said that, he lowered his voice again, "I won't charge the money I'll give you for free. Let's see how I'll deal with you tonight."
The inside was trembling. When Geng Qing saw him, he quickly coughed twice and waved his hand to let the woman leave first. His previous doubts were suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't remember them again. After pondering for a moment, he decided to accept Tian Qi and the money.
"Let me go and find Mr. Liu. After that, I will give you the money I sold. Can you see?"
When the place was sold, the money was in his hands, haha... the rest belonged to this family. Thinking of this, I was putting the deed paper away and putting it in my sleeve. On the other side, Geng Qing suddenly spoke and rubbed his hands hesitantly.
"Li Zheng, don't worry. This time I come here, the younger one has a bold idea."
There was a raising eyebrows and touching Tian Qi, and he was also a little curious: "Oh? What's going on? Tell me."
Geng Qing looked at the woman who was burning fire and the open door. The inside was asking the woman to close the door. Here, the young man moved his seat and leaned closer, but he squatted on the ground and looked up at the inside of the chair.
"Mr. Liu is trying to sell land in Gengjia Village. When I sell it, I will let go of Gengjia Village. Most of the villages are related to relatives, and they are all relatives. When I go and talk about it, at least I can say that two companies are here to sell land. These two companies are familiar with each other. Once the opening is opened, everything will be natural?"
After hearing this, Li Zheng didn't understand much, and he felt a little anxious.
"What does that have to do with me?"
Seeing his hurried expression, Geng Qing smiled faintly on the corner of his mouth, and soon disappeared. His tone was neither fast nor slow, and he slowly preached:
"Of course it's related... Li Zheng, you are the most prestigious person in this area. If you guarantee it, no one would disagree."
Li Zheng narrowed his eyes vigilantly and waved his hand.
"For protection? I won't do it."
