Make a long-term worker as an old attack

"Yes," Niu Geng replied, "When he said he was your sworn brother, I guessed eighty percent, but at that time you were very bad, I was in no mood to reminisce with him, so I was busy asking for medicine for you. "

Xue Zhaoqing held Niu Geng's round face in both hands, and smiled softly on his face. After a few months, Niu Geng was still the same Niu Geng, but he was no longer the same Niu Geng. The Xue family needs him to protect him all the time, so the Niu Geng in front of him has truly become a man of indomitable spirit, able to protect his safety and shelter him from the wind and rain.

"Qing'er, why are you in Weibei? And why did you end up in Yihong Courtyard? Even if you came out to look for me, why didn't you bring Uncle Zhong or one or two servants with you?"

Xue Zhaoqing smiled wryly, how many times he thought he would not be able to make it through the hardships of the journey, but when he saw Niu Geng, the hardships he suffered were like floating clouds, not so important anymore.

He said lightly, but even so, the pain was so painful that Niu Geng couldn't bear it.

"You have suffered so much along the way."

"Finally found you, and the suffering was worth it. Brother Niu Geng, you were expelled from Xue's house at that time, why?"

"Hmph." Niu Geng sneered, and said, "The talk about changing the dressing is just a cover. When you went to Baishui County with the master for the first time, I accidentally broke the adulterous relationship between Jinfeng and the second young master, but I never thought about really speaking out. It’s just that they have a guilty conscience and want to drive us out first, so as to avoid future troubles.”

"Zhaowen?" Xue Zhaoqing murmured in his mouth after hearing this: "No, when I went to plead with dad, zhaowen also said that he pleaded with dad, how could it be him?"

"Second Young Master, please intercede for me?" Niu Geng's face was blank: "It's impossible, Qing'er, after Master Xue left, I saw Jinfeng's appearance with my own eyes, and she clearly provoked this matter, besides that Today, the second young master is not in the hall at all, so how could he open his mouth to plead with the master?"

"But why did you lie to me according to the text? He is my own younger brother! Even if he was born by his aunt, he has grown up together for so many years, could it be..."

"You are a brother, he is a younger brother, you are born, he is born, as long as you are there, he and his mother can only look at the huge family property and worry about it. Just fighting for the family property, this is me The reason why I don’t like saving those wealthy families is greed, ignorance, and ruthlessness.” The white-bearded old man walked over at some point, leaning on a cane in one hand and holding a bowl of fried medicine in the other.

"Old Immortal! I'll fry this medicine, why bother you old man!" Niu Geng stepped forward to take the medicine, put it in his mouth and blew it, and put spoonful by spoonful into Xue Zhaoqing's mouth.

"Just feed him like this, isn't it afraid that this is a scumbag?" The old man stood aside and said.

Niu Geng's hand froze for a moment, then he smiled and said: "The old gods and immortals have been rescued, so they won't harm anyone."

"Hmph, you big stupid man." The old man rolled his crescent eyes and continued, "Don't call me old gods, I'll call them to the heavens. My surname is Chen, what do you like to call me?" Call, let me ask you, did you grind those bags of grain?"

"Yes, Uncle Chen, after I finish feeding Qing'er the medicine, I'll give it to you."

"Yo, are you still going down?"

"I used to watch my mother do it. I was outside and didn't know how to make food. If I had food, I would starve to death. I learned it by myself."

"Well... As for you." The old man looked at Xue Zhaoqing: "I heard bits and pieces of what you said first. Let me ask you, who told you that this big man was in Chengcheng?"

"It's the cousin of my aunt's natal family. I have to call him uncle."

"Hmph, sure enough, you are still called Uncle, you are so smart, why can't you react to such a thing, he is the one who tricked you into running to Chengcheng, and you said that the horse and People have stolen money, tell me, how is it stolen?"

"I..." Xue Zhaoqing didn't doubt it, especially the strange appearance of the inn. He said truthfully: "When I was about to arrive in Chengcheng, my horse tripped. I found a nearby inn to stay in, but the second Early in the morning, the horse was gone, and the money was gone, and the inn was empty, and there was nothing to be found."

"You baby, even if someone wants money or a horse, there's no reason not to want an inn. This is clearly aimed at you, so you can't go home and see your father!"

In fact, Xue Zhaoqing did think about these things, but his mother was not in good health before she was born. It was his aunt who brought him up little by little. He and Zhaowen went to school together, played in the fields together, and even made naughty mistakes together Kneeling in the ancestral hall to be punished, deep down in his heart, Xue Zhaoqing was still unwilling to believe that his aunt, who had always known him as his own child, would be cruel to harm him, and that his brother, who had always loved him, would know to plot against him.Could it be that the so-called family property, land, and house money are really not as good as the feelings accumulated over the years?

The old man saw Xue Zhaoqing's horror, and sighed: "Don't be sad, isn't there another man who holds you in the top of his heart?"

Hearing this, Niu Geng put his hand on Xue Zhaoqing's, and Xue Zhaoqing felt a little better. He put the troubles at home aside for the time being, drank the medicine that Niu Geng gave him, and held Niu Geng's hand again. It takes a lot of words to be willing to sleep.The old man Chen couldn't stand the soreness of the two of them, so he leaned on a cane and went to the backyard to walk the dog.

Xue Zhaoqing settled down, and Niu Geng walked out of the room. This day has been tossing from morning till now. Seeing that the sun is about to set and the moon is already hanging up here, Niu Geng's stomach growled, and he realized that , I didn't eat anything this day.

After chopping firewood, lighting a fire, and making two bowls of noodles with freshly ground flour, Niu Geng and Old Chen Tou squatted in the backyard, eating beerxiang under the moonlight.

Niu Geng felt that his eating appearance was ugly enough, but he didn't realize that this old man was even uglier than him when eating noodles, the soup splashed all over his face, and he kept smacking his lips while eating noodles, sucking and sucking. old loud.Niu Geng looked at him like this, he was not at all like the fairy-like person he was when he first met, but he looked like a farmer who had been hungry for three days and hadn't eaten.

Niu Geng looked at the taste of the old man's food, put down the bowl and went to the kitchen to make another bowl of noodles. Sure enough, one bowl was not enough for the old man, and he laughed happily thinking about his belly after two bowls.

"Uncle Chen, how long has it been since you had a good meal?"

"Hey, there is food to eat. The rescued villagers will send corn and wheat, but I can't grind the wheat. I can only eat corn every meal. Sometimes Xiaobai can also hunt some wild rabbits in the forest. What, just eating this is not enough, want noodles, tsk tsk tsk."

"Then why don't you go out?"

"Hmph, it's very chaotic outside, so I don't want to go out." The old man put the bowl on the ground, looking as if he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone after eating, holding on to airs, as if he disdained the worldly affairs of the outside world.

"Uncle Chen, you made the thick fog and maze outside? What if someone breaks in by mistake? Are you really trapped inside?"

"The maze in the poplar forest is actually nothing, it's just a trick to cover the eyes. If someone really gets in and can't get out, I will let Xiaobai go out and drive him out of the forest. This thick fog is formed naturally by the terrain here, and there are some poisons in the fog , I sprinkled the antidote outside the yard, and the antidote on the roof, the fog won’t hurt anything in the house.”

"What about Xiaobai? Are you not afraid of this fog?" The black dog followed Niu Geng to grind the wheat all afternoon, and was also willing to get close to him. Now he lay down at Niu Geng's feet, obediently letting him smooth his hair.

"Xiaobai's bath water is the antidote, he is not afraid. You boy, why do you ask so much?" the old man asked.

"I'm curious, Uncle Chen, are you willing to go out with me and Qing'er, we two will take care of you, I can make noodles for you every day, and save you from eating corn here."

"Hmph, there's no need. The old man is doing well here." After saying that, he shook his sleeves and walked away.

After eating the noodles in his hands, Niu Geng cleaned up the kitchen. One of the two houses in the yard lived in Zhaoqing, and the other lived in an old man. He simply lay down in the kitchen overnight with his clothes on.

After five days, Xue Zhaoqing's body was completely recovered. Niu Geng stayed here for five days, and he didn't bother with the affairs of the rebel army. People from outside couldn't come in. I'm afraid Zhang Xuan was going crazy. Seeing that Xue Zhaoqing's actions had already No problem, Niu Geng thought about taking him away.

But he opened his mouth, but was stopped by Xue Zhaoqing.

"What? Why don't you want to go out with me?"

"It's not that I don't want to go out with you. Look, we're gone. How boring this old man is. Besides, he's so old that he can't move the millstone. If we go, how will he eat in the future?"

It turned out that it was because of this, Niu Geng said: "I originally wanted to pick him up and go out together. He saved your life, so we should keep him, but Uncle Chen is very dignified, and he doesn't want to go outside anyway. It's a mess outside."

"I know, but Brother Niu Geng, he actually likes you quite a bit, haven't you seen it?"

"Ah?" Niu Geng was surprised. For the past few days, except for the old man who was willing to share a table with him every day for meals, he ignored him at all the rest of the time, as if he was a thousand miles away from others.

"Really, you have ground the noodles for him, the beans for him, and the corn for him. This old man looks like he doesn't eat fireworks, but he likes to eat what you make , I like you as tight as you like."

"But he doesn't want to go out, so we can't drag him out? After messing with the old man, if he does something else, we can't do anything about him."

"Brother Niu Geng, you can go out without worry, I'm here to persuade him, see if he can be persuaded."

"I'm worried about leaving you here alone."

"It's okay, it's isolated from the world, I'm safer here than outside, don't worry."

Seeing that Xue Zhaoqing was so determined, Niu Geng no longer insisted, and walked out of the forest by himself.
