People in Liaozhai, meet Chang'e at the beginning

Chapter 72 Ning Caichen

"Where is where?" Qingying also bit off a piece of candied hawthorn made from hawthorn and asked.

Nannan pointed to the yard in the distance, and replied: "Over there, sister Qingying, over there, there are two men arguing at the gate of that yard!"

"Then why don't we go over and have a look!" Qingying Xunsheng glanced at it, and then said to Ye Hua.

Ye Hua had already seen the quarrel at the gate of the courtyard in the distance, and he saw that a man dressed as a scholar was very similar to the one he met in Peach Blossom Village.

That was the first day when he went to Peach Blossom Village, the one he saw on the boat was carrying a shelf with some portrait-like scrolls in it, and looked at some extraordinary scholars.

However, he couldn't see any information about the scholar. It seemed that the scholar was still just an ordinary person.

However, he saw another man's message.

"Cui Meng, from the eighth volume of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", the first level of foundation building (level 20)."

"Hey, it turned out to be him!"

Pu Songling muttered in surprise, and quickly walked over.

Ye Hua didn't know who Pu Songling was talking about, but he could see that Pu Songling was a little excited, although Pu Songling hid it very deeply...

However, seeing that other people wanted to go and have a look, he also walked over.

After a while, Ye Hua heard Cui Meng scolding the scholar dissatisfiedly:

"There is no such thing as black and white in this world. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! Tell me not to beat others, what if someone else beats me? How can I protect my family if I have no strength to restrain the chicken? Even my family can't protect me." , and still talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, it's really ridiculous!"

The scholar sighed and replied: "Brother Cui, you are obviously a first-class righteous man in the world, what a pity!"

"What a pity?" Cui Meng raised his neck and asked.

The scholar sighed again, and replied: "People around you know that you are upright and brave, and you have a resolute temperament. Let's talk about when you were a child, when you were studying in school, as long as other schoolchildren bullied me, you would help me, and you would even treat me. They fought and kicked and were punished by the Master."

Cui Meng patted his head embarrassingly, and said: "It's not that you played with me when I was young, and other people didn't play with me, and other people are also bad."

The scholar said again:

"Now you are extremely brave, excellent in martial arts, and love to fight against injustices. Especially after your family moved here a few years ago, you are not afraid of making enemies, you love supporting the weak, and you don't even avoid suspicion. The villagers admire you very much. , which led to more and more people coming to you to file complaints. Therefore, you often beat those wicked people hard, and you always beat them until they can't take care of themselves.

"However, no one dared to persuade you every time you started to be ruthless, just like this time, in order to help the neighbors, you actually smashed the warehouse of the rich man's house, you said you, just for this moment of bloody , you have to compensate him for the loss of thousands of dollars, why are you doing this!"

Cui Meng was a little dissatisfied, snorted coldly, and replied: "Hmph, don't tell me about that hypocritical nouveau riche, I didn't kill him, it's enough to be humane and righteous!"

"I'm going to chop again...Brother Cui, have you forgotten the past so quickly? Don't you remember the cross pattern on your arm?"

The scholar was surprised for a moment, very speechless, pointed to Cui Meng's exposed arms, and said:

"There used to be a vicious shrew in the neighbor's house who abused his mother-in-law every day. The mother-in-law was about to starve to death. The son just secretly gave his wife something to eat. When the shrew found out, she scolded the son bloody .

"The shrew kept chattering and insulting her in all kinds of ways, making the neighbors around her uneasy. You were very angry, so you climbed over the wall and cut off the shrew's ears, nose, tongue, and lips. The shrew died soon after.

"When my aunt found out, she was both surprised and frightened, so she called the neighbor's son, tried her best to comfort him, said all the good things, and lost money, and betrothed a young maid to him, and the matter was settled.

"Because of that, my aunt was so angry that she cried bitterly and refused to eat. It's because you got scared, so you knelt on the ground and asked your aunt to punish you severely with a wooden stick. You also said that you regretted it and promised that you would not eat it in the future." Repeat.

"Auntie didn't care about you, she just cried there, crying so sadly, the whole village heard it.

"In the end, my aunt agreed to beat you with a wooden stick if my sister-in-law hadn't knelt on the ground to intercede for you. And the cross pattern on your arm is because my aunt used a needle to make you remember that admonition. You got a cross tattooed on your arm, and you painted it with vermilion so that it would never disappear. You accepted it all, and Auntie started to eat.

"But now, you..."

Cui Meng felt a little uncomfortable when he was told, so he touched his arm, and whispered back: "Okay, brother, keep your voice down, don't let my old lady hear you. You know, I treat my old lady the most. Filial piety, as soon as I see my old lady, no matter how much anger I have, it will disappear."

The scholar said again speechlessly: "Yes, my aunt disciplines you the most severely and often scolds you. But you, you only obey orders in front of me, but you forget everything as soon as you go out. Otherwise, you I won’t make such a mistake this time!”

When Cui Meng heard this, his expression was a little unnatural, and he replied unhappily: "It's not because of that hypocritical nouveau riche, bah, just make a small fortune and do whatever you want."

The scholar sighed helplessly: "But, if you destroy people's money, you have to pay for it, otherwise it would be bad for the rich man to drag you to the yamen."

Cui Meng became more and more impatient, he lowered his voice and roared angrily: "Ning Caichen, can you stop talking about this at my door? In case my mother hears..."

So this scholar is Ning Caichen?

Is it the rumored undead knight?
Just, what is he doing here?
Ye Hua stood among a group of villagers watching and eating melons, looking at Ning Caichen and Cui Meng curiously.

Just now when Ning Caichen was talking about Cui Meng, some villagers also whispered about Cui Meng's helpfulness in the past, which caused Qingying, Nannan and Yaya to look curiously at the seemingly burly but somewhat naive Cui Meng.

When Pu Songling heard Cui Meng call Ning Caichen's name, a golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash and was quickly hidden by him.

Ning Caichen shook his head and sighed again, as if he had never heard of it, and replied: "Ning was entrusted by someone to collect the bill. You and I settled the bill privately. It's better than going to the yamen? Brother Cui, although your surname is Cui , but you can't let me urge you to pay back the debt, right?"

Cui Meng was very angry and roared: "Then just tell that upstart that Cui Meng is waiting here. If you want to pay compensation, let him come and ask for the sword in person!"

　One update on Saturday and two updates on Sunday.
