Bright Spring

Seeing her mother like this, Du Qianrui seemed to be pierced by thousands of arrows in an instant.She didn't know how to help Muma, even if she asked for some money from the prince, she would be defeated by her father in a short time and would not be of any use.

Now Du Qianrui can only take care of herself first!She gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I'm leaving."

"Where is the timidity?" Mama asked.

Du Qianrui said firmly: "Someone I used to know came to pick me up, I want to go with him!" After she finished speaking, she couldn't bear to look at Mu Ma anymore, she turned around and left, and Mu Ma's voice came from behind: "Nong Cha is ready for dinner!" Let's go again, don't you pack something?"

Du Qianrui walked out of the room quickly, looked around, saw Zhu Gaoxu's figure hiding in the bamboo forest, she ran over with her skirt in her hands, and said, "Let's go!"

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu said, after finishing speaking, he glanced at her, stretched out his rough thumb, and wiped away her tears on her cheek.The thumb was strong, but it didn't hurt her, and it felt very warm to the touch.

Du Qianrui looked back at the thatched house for the last time, this place full of suffering, but also full of her memories, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy, at this glance, her feelings were very complicated and entangled.

She followed Zhu Gaoxu, and she had to walk very fast to keep up, but Zhu Gaoxu just walked at a slow pace. He was much taller and had longer legs.

She was willing to hide behind this tall figure, admiring his broad shoulders and strong arms.Even if Zhu Gaoxu is not the prince, she is willing to go with him... Even if it is a little poor, if the Du family has such a man, how can she and her mother live like this?

Even if it was her own father, she still couldn't stand it, she didn't dare to say it, but she hated her father a little in her heart!

The two walked to the small pier by the river at the head of the village one after the other, and there was a black-covered boat docked there. "My lord! My lord!" Several men clasped their fists and said in a deep voice.

Zhu Gao frowned, glanced at the cabin, looked around and said, "Be careful in the future, my surname is Zhong, and my name is Zhong Bin."

"Yes." Several people answered together.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and wrapped his arms around Du Qianrui's waist with one hand, then stepped into the boat and put her down again.Du Qianrui's face was hot, but he didn't say a word.The men quietly looked at her a few times, but didn't ask any questions.

"Master Zhong, let's go?" the man at the bow asked, his voice was a bit strange compared to other men.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

So the oars hit the water, making a "ding dong" sound.A layer of white steam was floating slowly on the surface of the water, and the black-covered boat broke through the white steam and slowly began to move forward.

Zhu Gaoxu took Du Qianrui's hand and bent down to get into the tent. Only then did Du Qianrui realize that shopkeeper Li was tied up and sitting beside him!The light outside was still dim, and Du Qianrui's mind was muddled just now, and he hadn't seen him.

No wonder King Gaoyang was able to find this place. It turned out that shopkeeper Li was tied up to lead the way. Shopkeeper Li had been to Dayuanba, so of course he could find the way... just now King Gaoyang played tricks, saying that there is only the heart that can't be found, and there is no way to find it. way.However, King Gao Yang really had a heart and knew to check the pawn shop, otherwise how would he find shopkeeper Li?

"Woooooo..." Shopkeeper Li stared at Du Qianrui and struggled twice.Zhu Gaoxu ignored shopkeeper Li, and no one paid any attention to him after leading the way.

At this moment Zhu Gaoxu took out a jade bracelet from his bosom.Du Qianrui glanced at it, it was the bracelet her father had given to Shopkeeper Li.

Zhu Gaoxu took Du Qianrui's hand silently, and no matter how red her face was, he put the jade bracelet on her left hand. Fortunately, Du Qianrui didn't do any heavy work after returning home, and the skin on the back of his hand was still very slippery. Zhu Gaoxu gently pinched her. At the bottom of the thumb, he put the bracelet in.

Then Zhu Gaoxu took out the gold necklace again, put it on her neck with his own hands, and leaned over to close the small gold hooks on both ends of the necklace.Du Qianrui immediately smelled the faint smell of his chest, which was slightly sweaty and not very fragrant, but she didn't know why it smelled so good.

"Woooooo!" Shopkeeper Li uttered two more sounds, but he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, two strong men bent over and got in, and sat down beside shopkeeper Li.One of the fair-skinned, strong men clasped their fists and said, "Young Master Zhong, I made a mistake and said something wrong. Right now, this fat businessman can only get rid of him."

"Woohoo!" Shopkeeper Li's eyes were wide open, and he struggled desperately with red eyes, but the round-faced, rough man next to him stretched out a hand to hold him down, and he couldn't move.

Du Qianrui was also surprised, but she didn't say anything, she didn't want to talk in front of people casually.

This is because rich and unkind merchants and some officials in the county often oppress the people, and these clan nobles and warriors are more ruthless than them, and a life may not matter at all.Maybe it's just one thing down the other.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Shopkeeper Li and said, "You are not guilty of death..."

Unexpectedly, he immediately said again, "It's a pity that you are unlucky. I'm sorry, but my brother made a lot of sense."

The round-faced black man sitting across from him actually laughed, "None of us has a hundred or eighty dead souls in his hands, so killing someone is nothing. I don't think this fat-brained shopkeeper is a good bird!"

The burly man with a white face said calmly: "Find a place where there is no one to dock in a while, and bury this guy."

The black-faced man stopped his smile and cursed in a low voice: "When I see your body, I can't beat you! It's like that cripple..."

"Wang Bin!" Zhu Gaoxu said.

The white-faced and strong man said: "Mr. Zhong, please leave this matter to me and Wang Bin, let us make up for our mistakes, and I will definitely get it done. Even if the local government finds the body in this wilderness, I guarantee they will not find it." Even the dead body can’t be found out for a month or two! Don’t even try to find us, most of them think that the gangsters murdered us for money.”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "That's very good. Brother Wei is more meticulous than Wang Bin."

The black-faced man Wang Bin touched his head with his hand, and said, "My lord, don't judge people by their appearance."

Zhu Gaoxu and the white-faced man suddenly laughed.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." shopkeeper Li was speechless, mainly because he couldn't say anything, he could only stare at them talking and laughing and discussing how to kill him.He wanted to struggle, but was held down by a pair of rough black hands, his huge body couldn't resist for a moment.

However, the voice of shopkeeper Li still attracted the attention of the men, and the white-faced "Brother Wei" said earnestly: "Brother shopkeeper, don't blame us if you die. In this world, the weak prey on the strong, and you get so much ill-gotten wealth, sooner or later In this calamity, we are just kindly sending you on your way."

In this world, the weak are preyed upon by the strong... Du Qianrui remembered that shopkeeper Li also said the same thing.

I don't know if the subtle coincidence is confirming this sentence, or it is a kind of irony.

Chapter 100 Beautiful scenery

A bright spring day hangs in the clear blue sky, the air is fresh and the river is crystal clear.The mountains and forests on a riverside peninsula are verdant. From time to time, birds fly across the water and fly into the woods. The world is peaceful.

The three men carried a box up the hillside, and Wei Da said, "It's here." They put the box under the tree and lifted the wooden boards. He was gasping for breath again and again, as if he was lying in the box and was being lifted up, and he was also tired.

"Gong Zheng looks at the people first, and Wang Bin and I go over there to dig a hole, and we will take a break later." Wei Da said again.

Zheng He nodded and said, "Brother Wei will arrange it."

So the two of them carried the head to the back of a few trees and started digging.

"Brother Wei, I've been looking for a chance to talk to you about something, but I just brought it up today." Wang Bin said in a low voice, and then turned to look at Zheng He.

Wei Da buried his head in digging, and said, "If we have anything to say, just talk about it."

Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "Your daughter had a marriage contract, and it was the county prince's professor Hou Hai who told the prince."

"Damn it!" Wei Da immediately swung his head down heavily and raised his head.

Wang Bin also scolded: "That guy is really an idiot, it's none of his business! I think he is just jealous, and he doesn't want to see other people's good, so he makes trouble and sow discord!"

Wei Da wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and said with a frown, "Your Majesty's marriage is not up to you. Last time the Concubine summoned my daughter-in-law, she didn't mention the fact that she had a marriage contract. I'm very sorry for our appearance. I guess my Majesty Didn't tell the princess."

"That's true." Wang Bin nodded and said, "I don't think the prince is that kind of person, and Ling Qianjin is not married, the prince won't care."

Wei Da said: "However, I will remember the matter of Hou Hai!"

"I don't think he is a good bird!" Wang Bin echoed.

Wei Da said again: "There are many things that the lord says don't matter now. The king and concubine Yan have considered such things as marriage. If they really want to marry the Wei family, I have a second daughter who is only eight years old! The second daughter has nothing to do with it." Any marriage contract, you can still marry the prince for two years."

Wang Bin laughed and said, "Looks like I want my wife to have two more daughters."

Wei Da glanced at Wang Bin's rough black face with fiercely staring eyes, shook his head and said nothing.
