Chapter 355 I'll Get It Back From Him Sooner or Later

Mo Jinchuan's gaze was so scorching that it seemed to be able to melt people completely.

Song Yanxi's eyes flickered, "I..."

"Bang, bang, bang!" A burst of crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded above my head, causing dust to fall from my head.

When Song Yanxi looked up, Mo Jinchuan just raised his arm to block her eyes.

The next moment, the cover above his head was lifted, revealing Luo Yidao's excited face.

"Brother Pingchuan, sister-in-law, you..."

The rest of his words came to an abrupt end when he saw the situation in the cellar.

He said "I'm sorry" and put the cover back on while saying, "Well, brother, I didn't see anything, you guys continue."

"Brother Luo, please stay."

Song Yanxi quickly stepped out from under Mo Jinchuan's arm, her face flushed red under the mask.

Luo Yidao quickly opened the cover and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I lost control of the firecracker just now and threw it far away. I hope I didn't scare you guys."

"No." Song Yanxi coughed twice because of the dust falling from the cellar.

Thinking of something, Luo Yidao slapped his thigh and said, "Look at what I've done. Come up quickly and take a breath. I've prepared some wine and food. Let's have a good drink tonight."

He explained, "You two just don't worry, today is New Year's Eve, and those soldiers are also born and raised by their parents, so they won't come to cause trouble on New Year's Day.

Besides, Mr. Wu is so sick he seems to be dying. We have been looking for doctors in town these days, so we don’t have time to bother others.”

Song Yanxi paused in climbing the ladder, and when she reached the ground, she took advantage of Luo Yidao's inattention to shake her head at Mo Jinchuan.

Wu Jun's illness was not her fault.

Mo Jinchuan chuckled softly, meeting her inquiring eyes. He walked closer to her and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "If you had done this, he wouldn't be alive today."

Facing the smile in his black eyes, Song Yanxi didn't know for a moment whether he was praising her or reminding her of his previous murderous intention towards Wu Jun.

With what he did, not to mention her, no one in Anguo would let him off easily.

Sooner or later, she will get back at him for this.

With a "bang", fireworks exploded above our heads, lighting up the night sky as bright as day.

Luo Yidao turned his head and grinned at them, revealing his big white teeth. "Thanks to you, otherwise the people in this town would never have seen such beautiful fireworks in their lifetime."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but urge them when he saw that they didn't move: "Don't just stand there, the food will get cold soon. I'll find a way to get you out of the city after dinner."

Song Yanxi was shocked.

Did he hear what was said just now?

Without waiting for her to speak, Luo Yidao looked around and said in a low voice, "I asked someone to find a way to secretly send you out of the city, but it's a bit shabby."

When they heard the word "ugly", Mo Jinchuan and Song Yanxi both thought of the smell of pig manure on their bodies when they got off the ox cart that day.

The piglets being delivered to the farmers' homes were fine; apart from the grunting along the way, they had almost no special smell.

But on the way back, there were two fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the cage at the back. They were defecating and peeing all the way, which was really unforgettable.

Luo Yidao actually knew all this himself. He scratched his head and had an embarrassed smile on his honest face.

He said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but your brother Luo doesn't have much ability, and the people he knows are all from all walks of life.

But don't underestimate them. Being inconspicuous has its advantages. Those soldiers don't even take them seriously."

Song Yanxi explained in a gentle voice, "Brother Luo, you misunderstood. You helped us both, and I'm grateful to you. How could I underestimate you?"

Luo Yidao scratched his head and smiled heartily, "Oh, they are all trivial matters."

He glanced at the fireworks in the sky and said, "It's going to be lively outside for a while. After we finish drinking, we can go out and watch the dragon lanterns."

He pointed at the mask on Song Yanxi's face and said, "With this thing on, no one will be able to recognize you two."

As he said this, he urged the two of them to leave quickly.

As he walked, he muttered, "Since the first time we met, I wanted to have a drink with you. I've been feeling suffocated for the past ten days because I can only see you but can't drink.

If you don't drink now, who knows when we'll meet again."

Mo Jinchuan let him hook his shoulder and said calmly, "We have a deep connection with Brother Luo, so it's not difficult to meet him."

Luo Yidao's eyes lit up, "Is this true?"

Without waiting for Mo Jinchuan to say anything, he raised his hand and slapped himself, cursing, "Look at my broken mouth. Everyone in our village knows that you are a man of your word. You must not lie to me."

He was a big man, but his eyes turned red as he spoke.

Without him saying anything, Song Yanxi could probably guess the reason.

Whether in Liang or Da'an, whenever conscription came, the first to be targeted were families with many children or twins, and they had to choose one of the two.

If the war is urgent, even a family with only one son must go.

There is only one possibility for someone like Luo Yidao, who is of the right age and strong enough yet has never been drafted into military service.

His father and brothers all died on the battlefield, and his uncles and aunts were also gone, leaving him as the only child.

No matter how foolish Emperor Liang was, he would not allow his subordinates to do such a ridiculous thing that would obviously destroy Daliang.

Even someone as absurd as Wen Qi had never heard of any rumors of him embarrassing a hero.

After two bowls of strong liquor, Luo Yidao held the bowl and cried and laughed, "My father and my three brothers all died in the military camp without knowing why. We only know that they were gone, but even the fellow villagers who went with them couldn't explain why they died."

He asked with a thick tongue, "Brother Pingchuan, are all the soldiers in your place like this?"

Mo Jinchuan said concisely: "No."

He picked up the wine in front of him and drank half a bowl. Even after the strong liquor went down his throat, he still couldn't calm the anger in his heart.

It turned out that the Liang army prisoners of war who had cried in front of him, complained about the tyranny of the Liang Emperor, and begged him to spare their lives were not forced by the situation, but were sincere.

But what did he do at that time?

He exchanged the eight hundred prisoners for a year of stability for the people in the north.

When the prisoners of war were picked up by their comrades, they all looked at him with tears in their eyes.

Mo Jinchuan thought that they hated him for causing them to lose the battle, which would not only bring shame upon them but they would also likely be beaten with military sticks upon their return.

Now it seems that it was indeed a deep hatred.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't ask the question for a moment.

The answer was clear in his mind.

"Wen Qi and his son are not worthy of being kings."

"Crack!" Mo Jinchuan crushed the bowl in his hand.

Luo Yidao took a quick glance and frowned, saying, "This coarse porcelain bowl costs one penny."

After feeling sorry for the bowl, he started cursing again: "Damn Wen Zhuo, sooner or later I will cut off his head and use it as a chamber pot."

Mo Jinchuan took the opportunity to pick up the bowl beside him, clinked it with his, and said, "Brother Luo, you have great ambitions."

Seeing him drink the whole bottle in one gulp, Luo Yidao smacked his lips and said with a dazed look in his eyes, "You are such a dishonest person! Why are you stealing your own wife's wine?"
