Fortunately, Ximen Qing had finished talking with the old man at this time, the old man went out and smiled kindly at Dongfang Bubai, and went down the mountain, while Ximen Qing pulled Dongfang Bubai to the hut on the right.

The thatched hut was fairly clean, but it was very simple. On one side was a kang that took up half of the room, and on the other side was a table and a few chairs.On the heated kang was a half-new bedding, dusty.

Dongfang Bubai is obsessed with cleanliness, he saw the unknown stains on the corner of the wall, the dust on the edge of the kang, and the yellow marks on the quilt at a glance, he immediately felt uncomfortable and refused to come in at the door.

Ximen Qing was not in a hurry at this time, knowing that he disliked the shabby house, he did not force him, moved a stool outside for him to sit on, and stood aside by himself, "I have already asked Uncle Zhou to buy new things. But here is no better than in the city, you just make do with it."

Dongfang Bubai glanced at him and said nothing.

Ximen Qing was a little worried about his attitude, "Did you understand what I said? People who are related to the county magistrate's family are being arrested everywhere in the city. If you are seen by them, it must be a disaster."

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai still acted like he didn't listen at all, Ximen Qing was a little angry, "Stay here and hide for a while, don't run around, or they will catch you, and you will feel better."

"It's just like you. If you enter the prison, you won't die. I heard that once you enter the prison, you will be beaten for [-] boards first, and then you will be punished with whipping and ironing. The whips are special whips, and you can go down with one whip. , Guaranteed that your skin will be ripped apart, and even your bones will be cracked with two whips.

That’s not to mention, if you pass out from the pain, someone will immediately pour salt water on you, so that you can’t survive or die. That feeling, I guarantee you will never want to try it again after trying it once.

What's even more frightening is the punishment of just grooming. Do you know what grooming is?It’s like pouring boiling water on a person’s body, the scalded human skin will be torn apart, and then comb it with an iron comb, and all the flesh will be combed off, then pour boiling water on it, and comb again until there is no trace of flesh on your body. "

Ximen Qing made a face full of bluff, no matter what was in the prison or what he had heard about, he said it with embellishment, hoping to scare Dongfang Bubai and let him stay here obediently.

But he was doomed to be disappointed. Dongfang Bubai didn't even look at him, let alone a frightened expression. Even when he heard the punishment called grooming, his eyes became brighter, with a faint excitement feel.

excited?Ximen Qing looked carefully at Dongfang Bubai's expression, but found that there was no expression on his face at all.As the breeze blew, Ximen Qing shivered involuntarily. He must have misread it just now, it must be true.

Putting aside the thoughts just now, Ximen Qing looked at the sky and found that it was already evening. He intended to rest here for a night and go back tomorrow, but when he thought of his father's anger, he felt a pain in his liver.

It's better to go back earlier to fight for leniency. Thinking of this, he said to Dongfang Bubai: "Then I'll go back first, don't run around." After speaking, he turned and left.

Ximen Qing was in a hurry, so he didn't notice that shortly after he left, the person sitting on the stool also got up and left.

When Han Bo came back with his things in his arms, the whole yard was empty. He searched for a long time, but found nothing. Finally, he finally figured it out.That man must have gone back with Ximen Qing, so he said, how could a high official let him live here with such a thin skin and tender flesh.

Ximen Qingxing was on his way, but he only needed to be responsible for sleeping in the carriage, and the carriage was very spacious, so he didn't feel too tired.Before dawn the next day, as soon as the city gate opened, he entered the city and went straight to his family's herbal medicine shop.

When he came outside the pharmacy, he saw the clerk of the pharmacy was lowering the door panel, but his father was nowhere to be seen. He was a little afraid to go back, God knows how angry his father was when he saw his letter yesterday.

Beckoning to Ping An to go in and find out the enemy's situation.

Ping An drove the carriage all night, his eyes were black and blue, but this did not dampen his passion in the slightest.

These days he has been serving Dongfang Bubai, he dare not breathe every day, he is going to be driven crazy.Now when I return to Ximen Qing's side, I feel like I can see the light of day.It's nothing to do such a thing, he just begged Ximen Qing not to let him serve Dongfang Bubai's great Buddha anymore.

Ping An rushed in, but before coming out after a cup of tea, Ximen Qing immediately realized that something was wrong.

Turning around in place a few times, and stomping his feet at last, he gritted his teeth and entered Jishitang.That expression was quite tragic, like the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and never comes back.

As soon as he entered Jishitang, Ximenqing saw his father sitting on the chair in the main hall with a gloomy and terrifying face, while Ping An was kneeling beside him, casting a helpless look at him.

The situation was clear, and Ximen Qing didn't take any chances. He took a few steps, knelt down in front of his father, hugged his leg and said, "Father, I was wrong."

Ximenda slammed, slapped the table hard, and said angrily: "Come on, bring me a stick. I'll break his leg today, and see if he can get out and cause trouble."

Someone next to him immediately handed over a stick with the thickness of an arm.

Ximen Qing took a deep breath when he saw the stick, it was so thick, the effect on him could be imagined.No, he can't sit still.

Grabbing the stick in Ximenda's hand, Ximenqing said, "Father, hit me, I should hit you. I shouldn't have gone out without listening to you and made you worry. Judging by your face, I must have not slept well all night.

I'm guilty, I should hit you, just hit hard, but don't worry, even if I break my leg, I'll take care of you when I crawl.

And mother, when I burn incense for her, I will definitely tell her that it was I who did something wrong that father broke my leg, and tell her not to blame you. "

As he spoke, Ximen Qing almost shed tears.

When Ximenda heard his words, his hand holding the stick trembled.Although he always knew that Ximen Qing was pretending, but Ximen Qing couldn't bear to pick his weakness, and he really loved Ximen Qing.

He stretched out his hand to grab the stick, but he was already in poor health, so he couldn't grab Ximen Qing, so in the end he could only do what he wanted, snorted angrily, let go of the stick and sat back on the chair.

Ximen Qing heaved a sigh of relief, put the stick aside, knelt forward and took two steps forward, and then said sincerely: "Father, I really know that I was wrong, don't worry, I will definitely change it, you don't want to I'm angry. Otherwise, if I get sick, I should feel distressed."

Mr. Ximen really had mixed feelings at the moment, he pondered for a while, and then gave up on himself and said: "You really need to change it."

"I promise, I will definitely change it!" Ximen Qing made all kinds of guarantees, almost swearing to the sky.

Mr. Ximen was helpless, thought for a while and said: "I thought about it for a while, and I will tell you when the county calms down, but I have changed my mind now, and you also need someone to take good care of you."

Hearing what the old man said, Ximen Qing suddenly remembered what he told him safely when he came back from collecting medicinal materials last time, "Father, what do you mean?"

Mr. Ximen stretched out his hand and pulled Ximen Qing up from the ground, "I have made a marriage for you. She is the daughter of Qinghe Zuowei Wu Qianhu. Set a date for you to get married.

I'll be relieved to have her with you then. "

"Already engaged?" Ximen Qing couldn't believe it. He didn't even know about such a big deal.

"Just yesterday."

"Yesterday? Why didn't you notify me in advance." Ximen Qing smiled wryly, what's the matter.

"Notify you? I don't even know where you are, how can I notify you!" The old man's face darkened again when he mentioned this.

Ximen Qing was too guilty to refute, but suddenly there was a woman he didn't know who wanted to spend his life with him, and he felt a little weird.

"I have been interested in this marriage for a long time. Marriage pays attention to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Besides, I have taken a look at Miss Wu from a distance. She is indeed a lady of the family. It is ruined to match you. Why, what do you have to say? Can't you do it?" Old Man Ximen said in a resentful tone.

"This..." Ximen Qing didn't know what to say.

He had known for a long time that he would marry a wife and have a few children. He didn't even react when Pingan told him that it might be Wu Yueniang last time.Anyway, marrying someone is not a matter of marrying, but now that things are really here, he is really a little awkward.

When he didn't speak, Ximenda took him as his consent, let out a sigh of relief, and finally showed a smile on his face, "You are such an old man, and you have achieved nothing. I don't ask you to make any achievements, just want to Let you get married quickly, and give me a white and fat grandson next year, and I will die in peace."

In fact, Ximen Qing really wanted a son, so when he heard what his father said, he thought about it and felt relieved. In fact, it would be nice to marry a wife. It would be even better if he could marry a beautiful one. .

Thinking of beauty, he suddenly thought of Dongfang Bubai. In this world, I am afraid that no one is more beautiful than him.Unfortunately, he is not a woman.

Forget it, anyway, he never planned to marry him, it's just a joke!

Shaking his head, Ximen Qing put aside the little regret in his heart, talked to his father for a while, and made him happy, then turned and went back to the backyard, his own room.
