"Sister Qingmei, today is not the Ancestor Worship Festival, why did the second master suddenly burn paper money?"
In an inconspicuous mansion in the outer city, Yin Minghong was burning paper money in the yard. The gray-white paper money danced and turned into ashes on the flames, and the steaming smoke seemed to depict the scene of another world.
Rong Yao, who was dressed as a coolie and had a dirty look, stood by the door and looked at Yin Minghong's actions curiously. He came to go on a mission with Yin Minghong today, so he came early and saw this scene, and naturally felt strange -
—Who would burn paper money so early in the morning?
"Ming Hong is worshiping our eldest brother with a different surname." Mu Qingmei sat on the steps at the door of the main hall, looking at the burning fire with a reminiscence expression: "My eldest brother died three years ago, and today is his death anniversary.
"
"By the way, why are you standing at the door? Come in and have a sip of tea."
Rong Yao shook his head and pointed to his own attire: "I'm so dirty now that it's hard to go in. I can just stand here."
"Then you go and take a shower in the back."
"This is a disguise." Rong Yao said with a bitter smile: "I am now an escaped slave of Jing Mansion. When I move outside, I may meet people I know, so I have to make it a little dirty so that they can't see it. And the outer city knows me.
There are actually quite a lot of people.”
"Why?" Mu Qingmei asked strangely: "Are you a celebrity?"
"I'm not a celebrity, but I used to be responsible for purchasing ingredients when I went out to the house, and then..." Rong Yao was a little embarrassed to say: "Because my parents were well-born, my aunts and uncles would treat me with special privileges when they saw me. Many people remembered me when I came and went.
Stay with me."
Mu Qing was shocked: "Really or not, then why don't my aunts give me preferential treatment when I go shopping for groceries? I'm good-looking too!"
Rong Yao couldn't laugh or cry: "Well... As the saying goes, opposites attract, aunt and uncle may prefer good-looking men like me."
"Huh? So you are remembered by many people because you are so handsome?" Mu Qing looked at Rong Yao for a while, then shook her head: "But I think you are just ordinary."
"Sister Qingmei is well-informed, so naturally she doesn't like me, a stinky person like me." Rong Yao smiled, glanced at Yin Minghong, and asked: "Sister Qingmei, is the second in charge better-looking than me?
Already?"
"Yes!" Mu Qingmei blurted out, but when she noticed Rong Yao's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling, she immediately blushed and defended: "But he is just like that, he is dark, his eyes are scary, and he is so cute when he is eating.
Da DaSheng...at most he is a little bit more handsome than you, just a few cents."
"real!"
"If you laugh again, let me spar."
Rong Yao immediately stopped smiling - Medical Officer Wen Hong had repeatedly warned him not to offend Mu Qingmei. Xuanzhu Baiye's chief combat force "convinced people with force" was not called Mu Qingmei for nothing.
, many of Yin Minghong's injuries were caused during his "sparring" with Mu Qingmei.
Rong Yao quickly changed the subject and sighed: "Why is the second master burning books?"
I saw Yin Minghong tearing out pages from the book and throwing them into the flames.
"Ah, that's "The Legend of the God of Fire". My eldest brother was a die-hard fan of "The Legend of the God of Fire" during his lifetime. Before he died, he asked us to burn the latest volume of "The Legend of the God of Fire" for him every year on the anniversary of his death."
Rong Yao nodded and sighed again: "Why is the second master burning war magic cards?"
I saw Yin Minghong throwing a stack of combat magic cards into the flames.
"Ah, my eldest brother was one of the ten extraordinary and saintly card players in the War Magic Card Hall during his lifetime. Before his death, he asked us to burn a set of War Magic Cards for him every year after the version of the War Magic Cards is updated."
Rong Yao nodded, and after a while he couldn't help but sigh again: "Do you still like to read pornographic albums!?"
He saw Yin Minghong tearing open a sexy picture album. Rong Yao felt very satisfied after taking a look at it. He almost wanted to ask Yin Minghong where he bought it.
"Ah, although the eldest brother does like to read, he feels that since the paper money will turn into real money when burned, then these picture albums may turn into real women when burned to the bottom." Mu Qing shrugged: "Brother, he is dead.
He was a virgin before, and he felt that he was timid, loved playing cards, and reading novels, and would still be a childlike ghost when he got down, so before he died, he asked us to burn an album of beautiful women for him every year - but if this is really useful, then he
I don’t have time to do anything else down there besides making little fools with hundreds of beauties.”
Rong Yao finally couldn't help it anymore: "Your eldest brother gave too many instructions before he died, didn't he?"
"Yes, after all, the eldest brother was killed by Ming Hong himself."
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up in the yard, and the flames suddenly became vigorous and danced wildly, swallowing up the ashes of the paper. Rong Yao looked over and found that Yin Minghong had been looking at the flames calmly, and his appearance became a little distorted in the steaming flames, as if he were a ghost.
Horrible, like a god forgetting his feelings.
"You didn't continue to ask." Mu Qingmei supported her chin with her hands: "Do you also know about Xiao Jiushan?"
"I heard about it when I was in Jing Mansion three years ago, and Medical Officer Wen Hong also told me something." Rong Yao considered his words: "So, your eldest brother... was the one who led the workers' riot in Xiaojiushan that year.
Water boat?"
"Well, eldest brother, Ming Hong, I, the three of us grew up together, studied together, practiced together, and joined Bai Ye together."
"Xiaojiushan's incident still caused a great shock in Xuanzhu County. After all, too many people died." Rong Yao said: "According to rumors, Shui Xingzhou was a righteous man who was not afraid of power and fought against
The hero of tyranny..."
Mu Qingmei chuckled, "Brother must have never imagined that his reputation after death would be so much better than when he was alive - he was a famous coward back then. Sometimes he would cry on the spot when he couldn't win at cards.
Come out. He was bullied several times, and Ming Hong and I went there to help him find a place."
"Don't look at me now. That's what we use to laugh at him - except for his age, he is not as good as us. He just wanders off to read novels when studying, goes out to play cards when practicing, and he can't beat anyone in a fight.
.In many cases, he is the big brother who needs our care."
"But he loves you very much," Rong Yao said.
Mu Qingmei was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I was not in Xiaojiushan at the time, and Ming Hong didn't say much, but I think I can imagine what happened - they killed the elders of the Jing family, and the Jing family had already
He Yangjun was brought in and decided to bloody suppress the miners in Xiaojiushan. Surrendering would be nothing but a long torture. They couldn't even escape. The only way was to let someone take Xiaojiushan with him.
Congratulations for defecting to the Jing family, giving this riot at least some meaning."
"How could someone as timid as my eldest brother bear such a blood feud?" Mu Qing frowned and tilted her head: "After Ming Hong came back, I blamed him for a long time - but then I also understood that Ming Hong has been
My eldest brother would rather die than face the suffering he has endured."
Rong Yao's expression changed slightly when he heard such a gentle saying, 'I've blamed him for a long time'.
He remembered that Medical Officer Wen Hong said that Yin Minghong was almost beaten to death three years ago and suffered multiple comminuted fractures throughout his body. It took a full week of phototherapy before he could get out of bed. As for who was beaten, Medical Officer Wen Hong did not say.
, but this information is followed by 'Don't mess with Mu Qingmei'.
At this time, Yin Minghong had no more things to throw in to burn. There was a lack of combustibles, and the fire slowly dimmed, and soon there were only a few small flames left.
"Brother."
Yin Minghong sat in front of the fire and said softly: "I have to make an important decision today."
"It may lead us to destruction, or it may produce miracles."
"Just like you slapped me awake, brother, please help me make up my mind."
Wow!
The breeze blows, the embers burst into flames, and the extinguished fire suddenly bursts into flames more than one meter high, which is gorgeous and fleeting.
"I understand." Yin Minghong stood up, took out a red ribbon and wrapped it around his hand: "Brother Rong, let's go."
Rong Yao, who was dressed like a rough man, bent down and saluted: "I'll be waiting for you."
…
…
The meeting place is Damen Stone Street.
Damen Stone Street is a famous bustling street in the outer city, with century-old clothing stores, Xuanzhu old snacks, Dongyang jewelry... You can eat, wear and be beautiful, and the prices are not high. Even ordinary families can come to Damen Stone Street.'
To be extravagant, the childhood dream of many children is to eat and drink all they want in the Main Street.
It is very reasonable for Yin Yin to set the meeting place on Damen Stone Street. There are dense crowds here, and you can easily escape even if something happens. However, Bai Ye can also easily place spies here, and even some shop owners on Damen Stone Street are White Night Walkers.
.
Rong Yao followed Yin Minghong ten steps away, pretending to be a coolie who came to Damen Stone Street to find a job, without being conspicuous at all.
Looking at his pocket watch, the time was about to reach 9 o'clock in the morning. Yin Minghong followed Yin Yinyin's instructions and went to Friends to buy a cup of coconut milk.
But three days ago, Bai Ye had already sent someone to serve as an apprentice at Friends. There were also White Night Walkers monitoring the area near Friends, which was like a dragnet.
Even if a child suddenly comes to deliver a message at this time, others will move with Yin Minghong!
I paid for a bottle of coconut milk and drank it.
Yin Minghong looked at the empty bottle in front of him and fell into deep thought.
He was put on a plane by...Yinyin Hidden?
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the street corner. After a while, a rickshaw with empty seats suddenly pulled up to the door of Friends. This rickshaw was a bit strange, with wide seats and three drivers.
The driver with a towel on his left shoulder patted Yin Minghong on the shoulder: "Mr. Yin, are you the one who wants to take the bus?"
"I..." Yin Minghong was startled for a moment, then understood immediately: "Yes."
"Get in the car." The driver in the middle said happily: "Your friend spent a lot of money to let me take you. Don't worry, our Scud team will definitely send you there as quickly as possible. Next time you want a taxi, you can call us at the dealership.
We are the fastest team in Xuanzhu County—!"
Driver on the left: "Fly!"
The driver in the middle: "Mao!"
Driver on the right: "Legs!"
Yin Minghong got into the car, glanced at Rong Yao behind him, and motioned for him to follow.
The speed of a human-powered rickshaw is only so fast. After all, it is pulled by people. How fast can it go? Others can easily keep up. Yin Yinyin's arrangement this time is completely meaningless. He made a mistake.
"Hold on tight, sir!"
Just when Yin Minghong was thinking this, he suddenly felt a strong push on his back and saw the rickshaw take off!
It’s really Scud!
The scenery on the left and right retreated rapidly, and Yin Minghong grasped the handrail tightly with both hands. He even felt that he might be thrown out if he went any faster - this speed was almost the same as that of a car, right?
About four or five minutes later, the rickshaw slowly began to slow down, and finally stopped completely at an alleyway, "Sir, we're here!"
Yin Minghong quickly jumped out of the rickshaw and looked at the three rickshaw drivers with some fear: "Your car... is really fast."
"Of course, we are a professional team——"
"fly!"
"hair!"
"leg!"
Then the coachman said: "As entrusted by your friend, I took you here, and you will know what to do. Then, sir, I wish you a safe journey."
When the rickshaw left, Yin Minghong looked around and cursed in his heart.
He walked along the alley, turning left and right, and soon came to a deserted alley with two towering walls.
That’s right!
It was the alleyway where they last met!
There's even a red brick in the middle of the alley!
Yin Minghong went over to pick up the red brick and asked: "Yin Yin Yin?"
A familiar soft male voice came from the wall next to him: "Hey? Yin Minghong, are you here? It seems that Scud is really fast..."
Yin Minghong twitched his lips: "We are going to meet here in the end, why do you want me to go to Damen Stone Street to buy a bottle of coconut milk?"
"Have you ever drank honey five-flower tea?" 'Yin Yin Yin' suddenly asked a strange question.
Yin Minghong was stunned: "I drank."
"Do you think coconut milk or honey five-flower tea tastes better?"
Yin Minghong thought for a while: "Coconut milk."
"Alas, you guys have such bad taste." 'Yin Yin Yin' sighed: "Well, the chat is over. Ten days have passed. It's time for the White Night headquarters to make a decision on my cooperation proposal, right? It's a breakup,
Or start over?"
Your statement is strange... Yin Minghong was silent for a moment and said: "No, Baiye Headquarters has not made a decision on your suggestion."
‘Yin Yin Yin’ seemed surprised: “Then… give you a little more time? Ten days is not enough, how about thirty days?”
"No need." Yin Minghong said with his back to the wall: "The headquarters gave the decision-making power to the Xuanzhu branch, and the branch gave the decision-making power to me. Now I can directly decide whether to cooperate with you."
"It sounds like dividing the pot, pushing the pot down layer by layer, and then pushing it down to you, a little pawn, and making you take full responsibility..."
Yin Minghong said in a deep voice: "If I make a wrong decision, Xuanzhu Baiye is willing to go to hell with me."
The alley suddenly became quiet.
After a while, 'Yin Yin Yin' spoke: "I have said what I should say. I have also done what I should not do. Then, please give your answer, White Night Walker."
"Whether we are like-minded or we go our separate ways, I only want one result."
Yin Minghong said: "Before that, I want to ask you a question, Yin Yin Yin."
"Excuse me."
Yin Minghong looked at the wall, his sight seemed to penetrate the high wall and saw the figure standing on the other side——
