The rain is like threads, weaving into a sky net, and the autumn wind is like a knife, cutting off all the withered yellow leaves. In such a cold winter, under the threads of autumn rain, there are still people in Fenglin Town
I went out just to harvest the crops that had not yet had time to get wet. There were only a few sparse pieces of land left, but I took them back home before the crops were completely wet.
Sun Erniang was one of this group of people. She didn't know why, the silky drizzle fell on her body, but it did not wet the coarse cloth. The rainwater just fell on the clothes.
It slipped and formed a small drop of water, rolling to the ground. Maybe God was pitiful, maybe it was her devotion to the land that moved this God. Anyway, she felt that she had everything, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.
There is only a piece of land as big as a pond in sight. It should be possible to finish harvesting this crop before it gets dark.
A tough-headed boy next to her was also helping. Looking at the young boy who was still a bit rough at the moment, Sun Erniang felt inexplicably sour. There was also a man of her own lying at home, the Khitan Wolf Rider from the north last year.
When she came to hit the grass valley, her man's spine was broken and he is still paralyzed in bed. But she has no complaints. Although her man killed a Khitan man, he is still alive, but he is still alive.
Well done, the folk custom in Maplewood Town is inherently tough, and no one has ever been injured.
To say it’s hard, it may be because my kid is only six or seven years old. Like ordinary children, he has to help the family with some housework. However, his kid is obviously much more sensible than other children with the same age.
, since the man was paralyzed, the boy has become a little taciturn. As a mother, she can see it in her eyes, but it hurts in her heart. If she wants to blame it, it is those Khitan people who blame heaven and earth for their fate.
Of no use.
"Mom, there seems to be a person there who seems to be injured." Sun Xiaoer tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes, then pointed to a hidden place and said tremblingly. Sun Erniang followed her boy's gaze and saw something.
A young man fell in the grass. Although it was autumn, he didn't know what kind of grass it was, so he hadn't completely collapsed to the ground. But the young man was lying in the grass, feeling something like something...
The bloody smell filled the air from the young man's body.
For the people of Fenglin who are used to seeing life and death, such things are trivial, not to mention that after autumn, a colder winter will come. That is the most difficult and most testing time for Fenglin Town, because at the beginning of winter, Khitan
People began to wander around Maplewood Town again, burning, killing, and looting. The young man was just injured, and he didn’t know how he was injured. Sun Erniang hesitated for a moment, should she go forward to check on him?
one time.
Such a delicate young man, Sun Erniang's heart trembled inexplicably. In this Maplewood Town, there are some rough men, and such a delicate young man is really rare. Those eyebrows, and those pursed lips,
However, there was still a trace of bright red blood on his face, which ruined his delicate appearance. Sun Erniang knew that this young man was probably not a Khitan. None of the Khitan people looked so delicate. The Khitan people were even better than those in Fenglin Town.
The men are much more rugged.
Everyone in the town knew that Sun Erniang had brought an injured young man. When everyone saw the young man's appearance, they couldn't help but marveled at what a handsome young man he was. This young man was different from those few
He was as handsome as any foreigner who came to Fenglin Town. Some people teased Sun Erniang, wondering if the man in her family was useless and they used a cruel trick to bring the pretty boy back home in an upright manner.
Sun Erniang was angry, annoyed, ashamed and annoyed, but seeing that handsome face, she felt that the grievances she suffered quickly disappeared. But fortunately, her man Sun Er was fine with it.
The young man who suddenly appeared at his house didn't have any ill intentions and responded with a kind smile. However, there was a hint of helpless bitterness in his smile, and his eyes were filled with deep pity.
Because she is Sun Er's mother-in-law, the villagers in Fenglin Town call Sun Er's mother-in-law Sun Erniang. Of course, the residents of Fenglin Town don't have any titles for them. Sun Er's son is called Sun Xiaoer, that's why.
Xiao Maotou, a name can't mean anything. The young man rescued by Sun Erniang woke up quickly. He responded with a shy smile. He didn't offer to repay the Sun family's life-saving grace.
It's probably the kind of thing where you don't even say thank you for a favor.
And there was nothing in Sun Erniang's heart. But when she saw the young man's shy smile, she sometimes suddenly fell into a trance. The smile looked so charming and clean that she even forgot to ask the young man how he was injured.
Yes, I also forgot the name of this young man and why he came to this remote Fenglin Town. Sun Erniang didn't ask, and of course Sun Er didn't ask. He lay in bed all day long, except for looking at the roof beams in a daze.
There was nothing else to do.
The delicate young man was not seriously injured. He ate some food cooked by Sun Erniang and recovered quickly. And he also told why he was seriously injured. He told his experience to
When Sun Erniang heard this, she did not deliberately avoid Sun Er, who was lying on the bed in a daze.
It turned out that this young man's surname was Zhong, from Shuozhou, and his family was a businessman. This time he went out with a few followers, but unexpectedly encountered Khitan spies. All his followers were killed by the Khitans, but he was lucky
Escaped. He was also in a panic and escaped to Fenglin Town. Seeing the young man's sad face and his painful eyes, Sun Erniang chose to believe him.
Ever since, this young man named Zhong has lived in Sun Er's mother's house, and he occasionally goes out for a walk. However, the autumn rain has been continuous these days, like a resentful woman who has nowhere to redress her grievances, it rains endlessly.
The young man was not in a hurry to go back. Sometimes he would chat with Sun Xiaoer about the outside world, and sometimes he would help Sun Erniang with housework. This young man did not have the airs of a rich family at all.
Relatively amiable, just like his shy smile.
Everyone in Fenglin Town knows that there is a young man in Sun Erniang's family, and he is also a very handsome young man. Although there is a man in Sun Erniang's family, that man is useless. He is not the same with or without a man.
.The folk customs in Fenglin Town are strong, and people in the countryside and neighbors can't help but talk nonsense. Although Sun Erniang was also aggrieved by the rumors about her neighbors, she felt that no grievances were gone as soon as the young man's shy smile spread.
.
Sometimes, she would walk back and forth in front of that young man's house inexplicably. The young man lived in a side room in her courtyard, which was originally used to store debris. Later, she rescued the young man back home.
She then tidied up the utility room and gave it to the young man to live in. For some reason, she felt that she was secretly fascinated when she saw the young man's slender back. Since her man was seriously injured, she has been concerned about her affairs.
I've never experienced this before.
And the arrival of such a handsome young man in the family inevitably ignited a burning flame in her depleted heart. The folk customs of Fenglin Town are indeed strong, but the folk customs of Fenglin Town are not open.
Sun Erniang always felt that this young man had a magical power that attracted her.
The good young man abides by etiquette and does not do anything deviant at all. He is also polite to Sun Erniang, respects Sun Er who is lying on the bed, and treats Sun Xiaoer with kindness and love. He also treats Sun Erniang with great respect.
From time to time, he taught Sun Xiaoer how to read, and occasionally helped Sun Erniang with housework. Although when the autumn rain first started, the banker had already collected all the goods, and there was no housework to do.
It rained for several days in a row, and the young man stayed at Sun Er's mother's house for as many days as it rained. This autumn rain also left another group of people in Fenglin Town, that is, Ling Tianyun and others
.Everyone knows that an undercurrent is surging in Maplewood Town. Not only are some Jianghu people appearing in Maplewood Town, but also some disguised Khitans occasionally pass by Maplewood Town. Those unfamiliar faces.
They always passed by Maplewood Town, stopping occasionally, but only drank a few bowls of weak bad wine at the wine shop in that town, and then left in a hurry.
"It seems that Maplewood Town is really experiencing a storm. So many martial arts cultivators have appeared here, which really adds a lot of luster to Maplewood Town." Lao Dao stared at the stove and made a hissing sound.
A pot of wine was warming on the stove, and the rich aroma of wine filled the air with the strong flames in the stove. Suddenly, there were figures of Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng in his house, and of course the
The old eunuch Han Li is here.
The little mute and the little stutterer were sent out to monitor the people coming and going in Maplewood Town. They would come back from time to time and tell Lao Dao what they had seen. It should be said that they were making gestures to Lao Dao. Appearing in Maplewood Town
Strangers would never pay attention to these two young men, and they did not completely conceal their whereabouts, so the strangers who appeared in Maplewood Town were reported to everyone by Little Mute and Little Stutterer.
"They just want to find out clues about Huang Gong's treasure from us. These people are really haunted." Ling Tianyun said with a helpless smile. But Ye Yinfeng beside him was frowning and seemed to be thinking.
What, maybe he felt uncomfortable because the woman in green was not by his side. Nangong Xianchen and his servant did not participate in the discussion. After they parted, they seemed to have endless words to say, leaving Ye Yinfeng and others aside.
Outside.
"Don't you think that these people in the world, as well as some unfamiliar martial arts cultivators, are all low-class characters? But the Zhong family who are facing us tit for tat is nowhere to be seen, except for Yan Longxing and Zhong Jianhong who appeared in the wine shop.
After that, the Zhong family members seemed to have completely disappeared. According to Zhong Jianhong's temperament and the Zhong family's determination to obtain Huang Gong's treasure, it is impossible for the Zhong family not to send people." Ye Yinfeng's eyes were bright.
With eyes wide open, he said to everyone.
"This is normal. The Zhong family will not do anything that is uncertain. The Zhong family is not sure whether we have obtained the map of Huang Gong's treasure. So the Zhong family spread this information to let those martial arts practitioners take the lead.
, but the Zhong family wants to reap the benefits." Ling Tianyun's eyes narrowed, and he expressed his doubts. Based on his experience of fighting with the Zhong family, he felt that this explanation should make sense.
"Actually, you are all wrong. The Zhong family will not send anyone to interfere with you. Instead, they will help you secretly. The Zhong family will not officially break with you until you find the real map of Huang Gong's treasure. During this period, the Zhong family will not interfere.
Every move you make, but the Zhong family will make everyone who knows these secrets disappear." Han Li played with the rough porcelain cup in his hand, and his eyes swept over the two teenagers, and finally he focused on the rough porcelain cup.
On the man.
"Senior Han means that the Zhong family will send someone to kill senior Lao Dao." The incredulous look in Ling Tianyun's eyes did not conceal it. He did not understand what benefit killing Lao Dao would bring to the Zhong family. Even if Lao Dao knew something about it,
But can the Zhong family find a master who can kill Lao Dao?
Not only Ling Tianyun was puzzled, but Ye Yinfeng also had increasingly doubtful eyes. They turned their attention to the rough man with a calm face. Of course, they had seen the strength of the rough man, and they also knew the identity of Lao Dao.
, if we were to rank the top ten masters in this world, then Lao Dao would definitely be ranked high. However, the Zhong family is far from having such strength, and it is impossible to find a master who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lao Dao.
"Haha, the breeze shaking Kunlun with two sleeves is really not blown out. Yes, in this Fenglin Town, the Zhong family's first target to get rid of is a certain family. Once a certain family dies, for the Khitan people
There are advantages. Secondly, the less people know about this secret, the better. Thirdly, after a certain family dies, Monk Bujie owes the Zhong family a favor, and this favor is very big, so big that you can't even imagine it.
"Those who know me well, Brother Han, is worthy of knowing that we have known each other for so many years. But this time I may bring trouble to Brother Han," Lao Dao said unhurriedly.
