Notes on Evil Fox

Lu Fanan was so frightened that he shook off the old man and the cold hand, shot away, and took a few steps back.The coolness that just came from his hands seemed to have spread to his whole body, making Lu Fanan unable to move.

At this time, there was a sudden warmth coming from his body. It turned out that Rong Shiyin gently embraced his shoulders and half embraced him in his arms.Lu Fanan leaned into Rong Shiyin's arms instinctively, and the latter patted his back comfortingly, and said softly, "It's okay, I'm here."

Rong Shiyin gave Hu Zhong a wink, telling him to guard against the people around them who hadn't looked away from them since they came in.Patting Lu Fanan's back again, Fang withdrew his hand, took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Rong Feng, telling him to fetch some water for Lu Fanan to wash his hands.

After arranging everything, he squatted in front of the old man and said, "Old man, tell me what the cannibalism you just said is all about."

After the old man finished speaking intermittently, even the expression on Rong Shiyin's face became a little sad.

It turned out that in the middle of the night 20 days ago, due to the continuous rain, a mudslide broke out here.The natural disaster was caught off guard, and many people were killed in their sleep.Most of the town was buried, all the farmland was destroyed, and the mountain was crumbling. Those who escaped their lives by chance could not stay here any longer.The young ones, the strong ones, the ones who could move, all left here to escape to other places.The remaining group are all old, weak, sick and disabled, unable to walk.

Sons and daughters, the so-called juniors, in the face of life and death, how can we talk about human relations and filial piety.Those who are kind-hearted, before leaving, will find a way to find a few meals for their elders, and then kowtow and cry a few times.Without any conscience, after searching everything he could bring, he left without even looking at it.

Old man Du, that is, the old man who was protecting his son's corpse just now.His son has already married and established a business. On weekdays, his son and daughter-in-law treat Old Man Du very well. He has three grandchildren under his knees.

However, the disaster was caught off guard. In order to save his grandson, Old Man Du unfortunately broke one of his legs under the rolling rocks.Old man Du is also indifferent and transparent, knowing that even if he escapes, he may not be able to survive, so he will drag his children down for no reason.So he drove away his son's family, and stayed here with a group of old people waiting to die.

Old man Du's son is also a filial son, he always felt sorry for his father when he left halfway.Regardless of the dissuasion of his wife and children, he returned to the town, determined to take his father away.But it took a lot of time to go back and forth. When I came back, I saw a group of old people hobbled and dragged a woman's body back to the dilapidated house, and ate it up.

The son of Du's family was frightened, he lost his center of gravity without checking his feet for a while, fell and knocked his head on the stone.A group of old people found the son of the Du family who had fainted, and they dragged him into the house together.But no matter how old man Du cried, his son remained in a coma until last night when he died.

Old man Du looked at the eyes of the people staring at him, and understood their thoughts.But that was his son, how could he just watch his son fall into...

So since last night, he has been wrapping his son's dead body tightly in his arms. When those people's eyes became more and more greedy and he became more and more desperate, he saw Rong Shiyin and his group break in This broken house.But Rong Shiyin and Lu Fanan were definitely not ordinary people at first glance, how could he not seize this opportunity.

Rong Shiyin sighed, stood up and said to everyone in the room: "Don't be impatient, everyone, I will send someone to report to the county magistrate that there are still people here, and someone will take you to a safe place at night."

After Rong Shiyin gave Hu Zhong instructions, he walked towards Lu Fanan who was retreating aside.Lu Fanan had an expression of disbelief from the beginning to the end, and Rong Feng stood by him the whole time, his eyes full of worry.

Rong Shiyin walked to Lu Fanan's side, took the handkerchief from Rong Feng, took Lu Fanan's hand and wiped it carefully again.But Lu Fanan suddenly held his hand, tightly preventing him from pulling away.Rong Shiyin didn't move anymore, but just held him back.Quietly without speaking.

After a long while, Lu Fanan said: "I want to go out to get some fresh air." After finishing speaking, he did not wait for Rong Shiyin to answer, nor let go of Rong Shiyin's tightly clenched hand, and just took Rong Shiyin out like that. room.

After walking a long way, Lu Fanan let go of Rong Shiyin, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know..."

Rong Shiyin looked at the young master in a moon-white gown in front of him, his always handsome and smiling face was sombre that he had never seen before.The eye sockets were also slightly red.

Rong Shiyin knew that Lu Fanan was not in a good mood at this time, such a bright and kind person had never seen such a miserable thing.

He slowly opened his mouth and said: "Things in the world are like this. There are many hardships, many separations, joy and happiness, but it is hard to find."

"Rong Shiyin, for the first time, I feel that the past 20 years have been ridiculous." Lu Fanan looked at Rong Shiyin, and said very sincerely and solemnly.

Rong Shiyin looked at Lu Fanan's eyes looking at him, they were still clean and sincere, as if they were the same as when they first met, but they were not like the first time.What seems to be more?

Yes, it is compassion.

Lu Fan'an is kind, but the kindness in the past was arbitrary and careless.It is not knowing what suffering is, but only instinctive goodness.But now in his eyes, besides kindness, there is also compassion and pity.That is the true kindness that wants to help the sufferers out of suffering after seeing the original appearance of suffering.

The two of them stood like this all the time, neither of them said anything.

……

It was night, and there was no moonlight, and the wind sounded shrill like weeping.A horrible image.But in the front hall of a Zhuangzi on the mountainside, the lights were still on until late at night.

Rong Shiyin sat at the head of the hall, his expression somber and silent.No one spoke among the people below, and there was a deathly silence in the front hall.Rong Shiyin said coldly: "This is the result of two days of investigation, what you gave me?"

Everyone was silent, but their eyebrows and eyes were full of dissatisfaction.A courageous official said: "It's not bad to have such a result in two days. The time is too tight, and the road is not easy..."

Rong Shiyin slammed the tea cup in his hand on the door, interrupted the man, and raised his voice: "Xunan City is still submerged in water, and the lives and deaths of people in dozens of towns in Xunan County are uncertain. Cannibalism has already appeared among the refugees, and you parents and officials who are eating the emperor's food, don't want to come up with a good plan, but are still making excuses and shirking responsibility here. If you are only so capable, what use are you for?"

All the officials were intimidated by Rong Shiyin's sudden temper, and stopped talking in a daze.

Rong Shiyin looked at them, pretending to have a headache, rubbing the center of his brows, and said helplessly, "We will stop here today, and it will rain again in a few days. The most important thing now is to dredge the river. You all go."

"Hu Zhong, go and invite Mr. Zhang here, I will discuss something with him." Before all the officials left, Rong Shiyin said to Hu Zhong.Among the people who left, some people's expressions changed slightly.

……

While waiting for Zhang Zhizhi, Rong Shiyin picked up the pen and ink on the table and traced the map of Xunan.At the blocked tributary, several strokes were extended, connecting to an unknown place on the map.After everything was drawn, he smiled confidently, and Fang leaned on the chair to close the curtain and rest.

Not long after, Hu Zhong led the angry Zhang Zhizhi into the hall, and when he was leaving, he took advantage of the opportunity to cover the door from the outside.

When Zhang Zhizhi was about to speak, Rong Shiyin pointed to the outside, then pointed to the ear.Fang said: "Master Zhang is finally here, I have something important to discuss with you."

While speaking, his hands didn't stop, and he wrote on the paper in a smooth manner: "The old grievances between Beijing and China are a matter of life. Please Master Zhang cooperate with me to play a play."

"Master Rong can do whatever he wants." Zhang Zhizhi still maintained his usual arrogant way of treating Rong Shiyin.But there was interest in his eyes, he took the pen and paper handed over by Rong Shiyin, and swiped the pen: "What's none of my business?"

Rong Shi smiled faintly, handed the map of Xunan that he had just drawn to Zhang Zhizhi, and wrote on the paper: "With all the officials in the court, only I can cure the flood in Xunan. Because only I can find this place."

But he said: "According to what Qin Tianjian said, there will be rain again in a few days. Now that the tributary river is not open, there will be big troubles at that time. I hope that you can cooperate well. Tomorrow, we will organize the existing manpower to clear it as soon as possible. river."

"Master Rong is not unaware of the shortage of manpower, but now he has to step down to raise manpower. Could it be that Lord Rong deliberately made it difficult for him to step down?" Zhang Zhizhi said dissatisfiedly, his tone seemed to be reprimanded.

But looking at the map in his hand, he couldn't hide his joy. If Rong Shiyin hadn't told him in advance that walls have ears, he couldn't help but admire him.He thought that the mediocre person who was embarrassed by the great responsibility gave him such an unexpected surprise.

Looking at Zhang Zhizhi's expression, Rong Shiyin knew that everything was a foregone conclusion.Taking a sip of tea lazily, he said, "Since Mr. Zhang is unwilling to cooperate with me, if something goes wrong in the process of water control in Xunan, I hope Mr. Zhang can take this responsibility."

At this time, Zhang Zhizhi had already devoted all his energy to Rong Shiyin's water control plan, and without the patience of Rong Shiyin to act again, he just hummed in a cooperative manner.Then he studied the map again.

Deng Mengzi was outside the window, and when he heard the conversation between Rong Shiyin and Zhang Zhizhi, his brows were filled with happiness.After looking around for a while, after making sure that no one had noticed, he quietly retreated into the night.

However, he didn't realize that there was a person quietly watching him in the dark on the tree not far away.Seeing him leave, the lips covered under the black mask moved slightly, and a few hoots of owls pierced the night.Like crying and laughing, very penetrating.

Rong Shiyin heard the sound in the living room, his hand drinking tea paused a little, a half smile appeared on the corner of his lips, the annoying fly finally left.But in order to avoid Zhang Zhizhi's suspicion, Rong Shiyin still wrote: "Master Zhang is afraid to offend the Wang family?"

Zhang Zhizhi raised his head from the map in his hand, frowned and thought for a while, then snorted coldly.wrote: "What do I need to do?"

"Hard me." Added another sentence, "I will try my best to protect you."

Zhang Zhizhi looked at the winning ticket in Rong Shiyin's eyes, and nodded slowly.
