Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

Nine years later, the state of Yu changed dramatically, the government was in chaos, and Wulin suffered heavy losses, turning the world upside down.

However, these turmoil did not spread to Sanping Village in the side courtyard.

Sanping Village is as small as a sparrow's nest.It is completely incomparable with the capital city, and it doesn't even take half an hour to walk from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.It is located in the generation of Fujian and Yue, facing the sea in the east and mountains in the south, far away from the hustle and bustle, and is at ease.

Lu Dongqing walked side by side with Master on the street. They just went to the grain store to buy a bag of rice and a bag of noodles. Along the way, they added a piece of seasonal river fish and two taels of pork belly, so they had their dinner.

Lu Dongqing is 19 years old this year, and the outline of his face is still somewhat childish, but his brows and eyes are already sharp and heroic, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and his eyes are full of radiance.

He was wearing a light blue gown, with a ponytail tied high behind his head, with straight eyebrows and black eyes, but the most conspicuous outfit on his body was the belt between his forehead, which was made of white silk and satin, bordered with gold thread, The underlay of the dark pattern is attached to the forehead impartially, just covering the birthmark on the forehead.

Also concealing his sharpness, he held all the rice, noodles and fish in his hand, walked steadily, and silently rubbed shoulders with the passers-by on the road.After experiencing the family ruin, the mischievousness on his body was like the leaves swept away by the autumn wind, leaving one after another from the branches, leaving only the vigorous and straight branches.

Lu Zhengqiu was walking beside him, his gaze was wandering aimlessly, the original patient had also changed a lot, his face was no longer young, the long hair in the shawl was mixed with a little gray, the eye sockets were sunken, and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of the eyes Extend to the temples.

The difference from back then was that the look on his face was much more relaxed, no longer so cold, but a bit lazy and comfortable.Looking around, he said, "Dongqing, do you think this fresh river fish should be braised in soy sauce or stewed in clear water?"

Lu Dongqing replied: "Master wants to eat whatever."

There was a smile on the corner of Lu Zhengqiu's mouth: "Then let's braise it in soy sauce, the braised one is more delicious, remember to add more sugar."

"it is good."

At this moment, if an old friend from back then saw them, they would think that they had changed their minds to give birth to their current dispositions.

It's a pity that there are no old people in Sanping Village. Here, they are just an ordinary pair of mentors and apprentices who run an ordinary pharmacy.

The pharmacy was just around the corner, but Lu Dongqing stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked the person next to him.

"I seem to hear someone calling my name." Lu Dongqing raised her hand and pointed, "From that direction."

His finger points to the end of the street, which is the end of the village, and the road ahead is blocked by mountains.There is an old courtyard at the foot of the mountain, which has not been taken care of for a long time, and only half of the courtyard wall has collapsed, full of weeds.

In the usually empty yard, there were three figures standing at this moment.

Curious, Lu Dongqing put down the fish and rice in front of her courtyard, and followed her master to the end of the village.

The further you walked, the fewer pedestrians there were, and the noise of the crowd was almost inaudible, replaced by harsh curses.

Three tall men stood in a corner of the yard, forming a circle, seeming to besiege someone in the middle, pouring unbearable obscenities into that person's ears.

After Lu Dongqing approached, he couldn't help being surprised. The three of them were wearing dark blue brocade robes with dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread on the skirts. It was the official robe style in the county government. The inlay flickers from time to time.

In addition to the knife, the man in the middle also held a whip made of rattan.

He looked in through the gap between the three of them, and saw a thin and small boy huddled against the wall.

The boy's shoulders and chest were stained with blood, and the light-colored clothes were scratched and torn, hanging on his thin shoulders, revealing his protruding ribs.

One can tell at a glance that those are the traces of the rattan whip.

The boy held his head and buried it on the blood-stained front, his lips were biting into purple, and the blind whip fell on his shoulders one after another.

The man with the whip whipped vigorously, and he still couldn't get enough of his words: "Is this kid so stupid that he doesn't know how to scream for pain?"

The person next to him sneered: "That's where you smoked, you have to whip here." He snatched the whip from his accomplice, swung it high, and whipped it between the boy's legs.

The boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the part between his legs was not yet fully mature, and the small, soft bump was hidden in the baggy trousers.Hearing the men's words, he desperately crossed his legs, trying to avoid them, but the vine whip was biting mercilessly like a poisonous snake, and he finally couldn't bear the pain and let out a wail.

The tormentor laughed out loud, seeming to take great pleasure in his reflexes, and repeated the trick, lashing the whip one after another.

The boy's back was stuck against the cold brick wall, and there was nowhere to turn back. I don't know whether it was his lips or his tongue that was bleeding, his face was full of tears, and the wailing sound was mixed with the blood and tears, becoming thick and vague It sounds awful.

The man was still smiling: "It's a good call this time, let the old man hear it a few more times."

Lu Dongqing couldn't bear to listen anymore, he finally rushed to the yard, and finally saw the situation clearly. The boy's injuries were worse than he thought, and the pants on his legs had been ripped off, revealing his naked and thin body. The thighs and the roots of the legs were covered with red and swollen bloodstains, like fish out of water, curled up while twitching weakly.

He was furious: "What are you doing! Stop!"

The man's hand was already on the child's leg, and he stopped and turned around when he heard the angry shout behind him.

Taking advantage of the time the other party turned around, Lu Dongqing finally saw the boy's face clearly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Yan'er!"

The child's name is Ni Yan, and he often comes to the pharmacy to get medicine. He is a child with good manners.

Yan'er covered her face with her hands, not daring to look at him, but curled her body even tighter.

Lu Dongqing turned to stare at the three culprits: "You are government servants, how can you bully good people in broad daylight."

"A good citizen?" The man was startled, and quickly lowered his face and said, "You can see clearly, he is a bold thief, he wants to run away after stealing something, shouldn't he be beaten?"

"Thief?" Lu Dongqing was stunned for a moment, then turned her eyes to the boy in the corner.

The boy defended in a small voice: "Brother Dongqing, I didn't..."

"Shut up, it's not for you to talk." The man turned around and slapped him on the face again.

"Tell you to stop!" Lu Dongqing was about to rush forward, but someone pinched her shoulder.

It was Lu Zhengqiu. The latter signaled him to be silent with his gaze, then passed over his shoulder, came to the front of the three of them, and said slowly: "Offend, offend, originally we didn't want to disturb everyone's impartial law enforcement, but this yard is my sister-in-law's. Those who were left behind suddenly remembered that something was forgotten in it, and the place where you are just happens to be the kitchen, can you borrow a way."

"What?" The three of them were puzzled and moved sideways to get out of the way.

Lu Zhengqiu walked in unhurriedly, rummaged through the messy room, the dust accumulated over the years was flying around, the three people outside waited impatiently, and shouted: "There is no end", before he came out.

When he came out, he had a long round stick in his hand: "This is it."

"What the hell?"

"Rolling pin," he replied, "I finally found it for me. I still have to use this for rolling dough, especially to teach those stubborn dead lumps, you have to beat hard."

As he spoke, he weighed the rolling pin in his hand, and glanced at the three of them pointedly.

Even a fool can hear the provocation in his words.

The head of the yamen's face darkened, and said displeasedly: "Where is the crazy old man, keep your mouth clean."

"Huh? I'm not an old man, I just added a few gray hairs recently."

The Yachai said coldly: "If you meddle in your own business, I will let you go to the grave today."

The three of them ignored Ni Yan in the corner and turned to Lu Zhengqiu together.

Lu Dongqing took the opportunity to bypass them, came to Ni Yan's side, took off the long gown and covered him.

Ni Yan raised her head tremblingly: "Brother Dongqing, Master Zhengqiu...he."

"You don't have to worry." Lu Dongqing patted him on the shoulder, "Master, he is very powerful."
