Chapter 47 You kill, I set fire
The eighth day of the first lunar month.
Sunny.
Suitable for burial, sacrifice, coffin transfer, taboo-
A brothel in He County caught fire. The fire
burned very vigorously.
The flames were bright, like the scorching sun.
The raging fire burned every corner of the darkness.
It warmed the bones of many unknown young girls buried underground.
Bones will get cold if the sun doesn't shine all year round.
A fire is just right.
...
The big Buddha in Qingyuan Temple shone with golden light under the sun.
My Buddha is merciful and saves all living beings.
Ate a vegetarian meal.
Worshiped the Buddha.
Recited scriptures.
Added a lot of incense money.
One night passed.
The grandfather and grandson went
home. Jiang Wan was not very happy. She felt that she had missed something.
Moreover, she did not sleep well last night. In her dream, Buddha's tears fell like a stone slab, hitting her head and causing it to bleed.
She saw the baby's face several times during the night and woke up several times in fright.
She looked a little bad in the morning.
When her grandmother asked her
, she only said that she was a little accustomed to her bed. After all, the room in the temple was not as comfortable as home. She did not mention the nightmare.
She knew that her grandmother did not like to hear bad things.
So she picked out the happy things to talk about.
"There is a small tree in the temple, which smells very good. The master said that it is Milan, and the fragrance can calm the mind. Grandma, I asked someone to transplant it into a pot and take it away and put it in the Buddhist hall."
The old lady nodded in agreement.
She probably did not sleep well either, with her eyes half closed.
The grandfather and grandson returned to the house.
There were many things.
Madam Wu doesn't care about anything, as long as her husband treats her well, she doesn't have much power as a housekeeper.
There is a more urgent matter.
Wu Liu, the bodyguard beside Master Rong, disappeared and has not appeared for three days.
Wu Liu followed the young master to perform his duties loyally, and recently he only had a conflict with Jiang Feng.
The old lady frowned when it came to that matter.
Ah Yao looked at the old lady's expression and told the housekeeper at home: "Go to the government office and invite someone."
It looked like the government office was opened by their family.
It can be seen that although the Jiang family is not prominent now, it does have a deep background.
Soon a man who looked like a teacher came.
Jiang Wan stayed by her grandmother's side and did not avoid it.
When the master heard that a guard in the family had not been seen for two or three days and reported to the police, he spit in his heart. What a big deal! The guard might have gone to sleep with some girl. It was really a trivial matter, but it was worth his trip.
But there must be a generous reward for a trip.
And here, with the elegant seats filled with incense and an extremely beautiful young lady next to him, the master regarded it as an opportunity to broaden his horizons.
He politely inquired about the case.
When he heard that the playboy Jiang Feng was involved.
The master hesitated for a moment and said, "Unfortunately, there is a case related to Jiang Feng in the government office. Jiang Feng and his gang arrested a couple of beggars who were peddlers. They said that they had kidnapped his two sisters and a girl from the village."
Jiang Wan was stunned when she heard this. She
breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She didn't expect...
She was also a little uncomfortable. She didn't expect that the two people were actually beggars. She was kind enough to give them a reward.
The rosary in the old lady's hand also paused.
"Amitabha, are those children okay?"
"The children are fine, but the two beggars were beaten badly."
"Why do you kidnap people's children and do such a thing that hurts your virtue? Aren't you afraid of retribution?" The old lady said word by word, and the rosary in her hand increased in speed.
"Well, it's really pitiful. The two peddlers said that they had a sick child at home and needed to buy medicine to keep the child alive, so they had no choice but to do this. They said it was their first time and they had never done it before. They were too panicked and were discovered." The master said what the rich people liked to hear.
The maid Ah Yao still looked at them and didn't interrupt. She thought to herself, those two peddlers looked like veterans, how could it be their first time.
The old lady sang a Buddhist chant: "Amitabha, although it is hateful, it is also pitiful. The love of parents in the world does not deserve death."
The pretty girl beside her also sighed slightly: "Poor parents in the world."
The master praised: "The old lady and the young lady are really kind-hearted."
He thought in his heart that the kidnapper should be beaten to death, why did he say anything too much, but now that the old lady and the young lady have expressed their opinions, he has to go back and tell the county master to change the sentence.
Fortunately, he really got a generous tea money, which was equivalent to his monthly salary.
He went back happily and ordered his men to arrest people.
No matter where the guard is, catch the playboy Jiang Feng first.
Then he hurried to find the county master.
...
The largest restaurant in the county, Qingfeng Restaurant.
A few young men drank a little bit of wine and got drunk. They vomited in the corner of the backyard.
They vomited and lamented.
What a pity, such a good dish. Jiang Feng did not vomit. He could drink a lot . It was hard to tell that he had never touched alcohol.
He and his friends accepted the invitation of two young masters of BMW and came to the banquet. Everyone changed into their most decent clothes. Those with fewer repairs.
Even so, they all looked ugly.
Some had wounds on their faces, some had crippled hands, and some had lame legs.
They also had bad temperaments, they had no posture when standing, and they had no posture when sitting. Moreover, they were very nervous, so they looked ugly.
After all, they were uneducated playboys and street urchins who had never seen the world.
Their backgrounds and experience were far inferior to those of the guards of the young masters.
They usually didn't even dare to come to Qingfeng Restaurant to beg for leftovers.
But today, they went upstairs.
They were very restrained.
In fact, the two young masters mainly wanted to invite Jiang Feng.
But Jiang Feng did not agree alone, but called his friends to come together.
This action of his did not make Meng Shaoxia and He Chen feel that he was pushing his limits. Instead, they felt that he was loyal and a person they could get along with.
Jiang Feng was not very knowledgeable. He just talked about the local customs and the scenery of the nearby mountains. He was neither humble nor arrogant, had a pleasant voice, and clear eyes, which made a good impression on people.
"You looked seriously injured yesterday, and I was worried that you couldn't come today. By the way, are your sisters okay?" Meng Shaoxia asked.
"My eldest sister was a little frightened last night and had a low fever. She got better this morning. My youngest sister is fine. Thank you two brothers for your courageous act. We brothers don't have a good reputation in the county. If we send that kidnapper to the yamen, we might be beaten with a stick first, and then be falsely accused by the kidnapper." Jiang Feng said with a wry smile.
Meng Shaoxia and He Chen were not surprised. Although they were the eldest sons, they were from wealthy families, had excellent upbringing, and were very knowledgeable. Naturally, they could see the embarrassing situation of Jiang Feng and the others.
Hearing Jiang Feng say it so openly, they admired his honesty even more.
As Jiang Feng spoke, he took out two brick-sized objects wrapped in leaves. They
were tied with hemp ropes, but a small square of red cloth was pasted on one side.
It was simple and beautiful.
"This is a thank-you gift prepared by my sister for the two brothers. Our family is poor and we don't have anything to give. This is the meat of animals hunted in the mountains, smoked and roasted. If you are in a hurry and it is not convenient to stay overnight, you can use it as a snack on the road."
Meng Shaoxia and He Chen did not receive such a poor gift.
Jerky?
But seeing the boy in front of him, he was polite, not ashamed, with a sincere face, and he looked very cherishing the meat he took out.
Thinking of those boys who ate their meals in a hurry, Jiang Feng didn't eat as fast as they did, but he ate very quickly, and they didn't seem to be full even after eating.
Very surprised.
Along the way, the two of them no longer said why not eat meat.
So this poor gift must be very precious to Jiang Feng.
Gifts are important, and friendship is also important.
They were also happy to accept it.
He Chen initially thought highly of Jiang Feng because of Brother Meng, but now he really likes this boy.
Doing good deeds is a pleasant thing, which meets people's expectations of themselves. Doing
good deeds and getting gratitude from the recipients is an even more pleasant thing, which meets people's expectations of the world.
Meng Shaoxia looked at the dried meat and thought, the little girl is really unreliable. She said she would marry him at first, then pushed her brother away. But now her brother doesn't want her anymore and has replaced her with a bag of dried meat.
The square red cloth on the dried meat is cute.
The little square face smiled.
