Concentricity

As soon as the sky dawned, Mo Jinyan ran to the town to see the situation in the town.The town was devastated, with scorched marks everywhere after the fire, and there were still several places with green smoke. Some people were cleaning up the mess, and some homeless old people and women were sitting in the street, mourning and crying. miserable.

Looking at this scene, Mo Jinyan was filled with anger. Whenever he encountered someone or something that needed help, as long as he could do his best, he would go up and help.Unknowingly, they turned into an alley, and heard a burst of sad crying, it seemed that many people were crying.

Mo Jinyan couldn't help standing still, followed the cry and found that the sound came from a carved wooden building. The house was not burned, but one of the red lanterns on both sides of the gate fell, and scattered on the ground. An insignificant plaque looks like it has also been robbed.

While Mo Jinyan stayed for a while, several people came out carrying a door panel.There was a person lying on the door panel, it was a young man, his eyes were closed, his face was blue, the clothes on his body were stained with blood and were all congealed, he was obviously dead.A handsome young man dressed in white followed closely to his right, his eyes were swollen like rotten peaches, tears were still falling down, it seemed that he had been crying for a long time.

Mo Jinyan felt sad in his heart, the deceased was probably the boy's relatives.Just as he was thinking, several people came out from the door, all of them were colorfully dressed women, many of them were crying, and some were crying loudly.Mo Jinyan thought it was a female family member of a rich family, and subconsciously turned sideways to hide for a while. When he dodged, his eyes swept across the crowd, and found that the leader was actually the woman who bumped into the candy shop two days ago, but Obviously a lot haggard today.Mo Jinyan suddenly realized, could it be that this is the Fragrance House? Most of these beautiful women are brothel girls, and the dead person is probably a prostitute.

Mo Jinyan shook his head, he probably died under the peony flowers, so he prepared to leave.Suddenly, the woman in the lead ran up to grab the sad young man and cried, "My poor son, you can't just leave your mother like this. Your brother Qi is gone. If you go out, where can you go?" Where will you end up? He died in our house, how could his family tolerate you?"

The young man broke away from the woman holding his hand, lowered his eyes and said: "Mother Yin, let go, Chengye has already paid me the ransom yesterday, my contract of sale has been torn up, and I am no longer a member of Xianglou. As for the ransom being taken away by the thieves, it is your loss, not my fault. Now that Chengye has died at the hands of the thieves, we are separated from each other, and I made a bond with him as a brother. If I stay in this building again, I will feel sorry for Chengye's painstaking efforts. I don't expect his family to accept me, so I will repair it in front of his grave in the future. A thatched hut, guarding his grave for the rest of his life." There was a bit of stubbornness and firmness in his brows, and he turned around and caught up with the person who carried the airs.

The rest of the woman wept bitterly.

Mo Jinyan stopped when he was about to leave. He still didn't quite understand the situation, but he already vaguely knew that this young man was originally from the Fragrance Building, but besides girls, how could there be men in the Fragrance Building?Also, what's the matter with the Qi brothers, isn't it sworn brothers?No matter how it sounds, it is deeper than sworn brotherhood.

Mo Jinyan was in a daze when someone tapped him on the shoulder suddenly, and he saw Chen Pingsheng winking at him with a fish basket in his hand.Mo Jinyan glanced at him: "Didn't you hear the bell last night?"

Chen Pingsheng said: "Of course I heard it."

Mo Jinyan squinted at him: "You still have the heart to sell fish, like this, does anyone still eat fish?"

Chen Pingsheng scratched his head, and laughed a few times: "I didn't come here to see, I brought the fish I caught this morning along the way. Last night was really miserable!"

Mo Jinyan sighed: "This Japanese thief is really too hateful, how much hatred can he have with us, he must be chased and killed."

Chen Pingsheng also nodded: "Yes, it's really fucking hateful. Hey, Mo Jinyan, why did you come to Xiangfang Building, do you want to meet?"

Mo Jinyan gave him a blank look: "What kind of lover? Do you have a lover here?"

"Where do I have it? I can't even eat enough to eat. How can I have spare money to go to the brothel." Chen Pingsheng waved his hand, lowered his voice again, and nuzzled, "Did you see the person who was carried out just now? That person is Tang Yuan's family." His youngest son, it is said that he prefers masculinity, fell in love with the young lady in the Fragrance House, and wanted to make a pact with the young lady, but he never thought that he would die in Wenrou Township in the end, it is really frightening to death, even a ghost is so romantic."

Mo Jinyan asked in surprise, "What is Brother Qi?"

Chen Pingsheng looked at him like a bumpkin: "Don't you know? Two men become brothers. They say they are brothers, but in fact they are like husband and wife, eating and living together."

Mo Jinyan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he stammered, "Two, two men, like, like a husband and wife? Are they still married?"

Chen Pingsheng laughed and said, "They usually get married."

Mo Jinyan ran out of brains: "It doesn't matter?"

"What's the matter? This is our custom in Fujian, haven't you never heard of it?" Chen Pingsheng squinted at him.

Mo Jinyan shook his head.

Chen Pingsheng explained: "This Qi brother is quite common in our place. If two men like each other, they will move in together and live together. They will not separate until they get married. Usually, the parents of both parties know about it. Yes, and still agree."

Mo Jinyan has never heard of it before. He is not a native of Fujian. He moved here from Mingzhou with his father. At this time, the atmosphere of Qi brothers in Fujian is not too strong. He has lived here for more than ten years. , I have never heard of this before, or maybe others are deliberately avoiding him as a child and not telling him.So today's news was like hearing a thunderbolt to him, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't expect that his little thoughts would have a bright future.He watched the group of people carrying airs disappear into the corner of the street, and the young man's thin and stubborn back was deeply burned in his eyes.

Chen Pingsheng saw that he was silent for a long time, and bumped his shoulder: "Hey, Mo Jinyan, what are you thinking?"

Mo Jinyan came back to his senses and looked at Chen Pingsheng: "It's okay, I just think Japanese thieves are too hateful. One day, I will crush them to ashes."

Mo Jinyan returned home in a trance, and saw Yu Simian practicing boxing in front of his house, each move was quite smooth, although it wasn't exactly a vigorous force, but there seemed to be a continuous force shaking around him with overwhelming force open.This is not the first time Mo Jinyan has watched him practice boxing. He used to think that he was just exercising his muscles and bones. Now it seems that he is indeed a trainer. He couldn't see the strength before. It was because his body was weak and he only had moves without strength. Now His health has improved a lot, and he can see the mystery of it.

It turned out that Yu Simian was so good in martial arts, but why was he robbed and injured?A cloud of suspicion rose in Mo Jinyan's heart, and he was fascinated by seeing Yu Simian's nimble figure.Yu Simian withdrew his hands, finished breathing, turned around to look at Mo Jinyan who had already wandered: "Xiao Mo, you are back, how is the situation in the town?"

Mo Jinyan came back to his senses: "Brother Yu, are you practicing boxing? The situation in the town is very bad. Many houses were burned, many people died, and many rich families were robbed."

Yu Simian pondered for a while, then raised his head: "Xiao Mo, I want to go to Gutian the day after tomorrow. Can you see me off?"

"Ah?" Mo Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized, "Brother Yu, do you want me to take you to Gutian by boat?"

Yu Simian nodded: "Well, I was robbed on the road, and most of my attendants were killed. I have to go to the government to surrender. I have a tea merchant friend in Gutian City. After you send me to Gutian, I will go to my friend first, and then go Surrender to the case. During this period of time, what a trouble, thank you, Xiao Mo."

Mo Jinyan's heart was empty, his eyes were hot, and he quickly lowered his head: "You're welcome, Brother Yu, I'm lucky to know you. I'm going to cook." He hurried past Yu Simian and entered the house in a hurry.

Two days before Yu Simian's departure, Mo Jinyan packed a lot of things for him, food and necessities, as long as they could be taken away, he brought them all.Yu Simian looked at Mo Jinyan wandering around there by himself and kept packing his things, but he just didn't want to talk to him, knowing that the child felt uncomfortable, but at the moment he couldn't protect himself, so he really couldn't bring him by his side.He asked Mo Jinyan to find paper and ink, and wrote a book of boxing for him: "Xiao Mo, if you have time, you can practice like this, you can strengthen your body, and maybe you can also defend yourself."

Mo Jinyan tightly held the boxing score in his hand, as if he had found a treasure.He didn't dare to look up at Yu Simian, he was afraid that when he saw it, he couldn't help but want to say the thought in his heart.

Yu Simian went alone to say goodbye to Dr. Nie and Nie Yun. Nie Yun poured tea, then retreated to the pharmacy to grind the medicine.After three rounds of tea, Yu Simian finally explained her reason for coming. Nie Yun couldn't help but get red eyes when she heard Yu Simian's words in the pharmacy.Dr. Nie looked at his granddaughter, stroked his beard, and said to Yu Simian with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Yu is a Geng this year, has he ever married?"

Yu Simian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The boy is twenty-three this year, and he hasn't married yet..."

Before Yu Simian could finish speaking, Nie Yun was overjoyed and turned away quickly.

opened.Doctor Nie said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, what do you think of my Yun'er? Yun'er is nineteen years old this year, and she had promised her a long time ago, but that uncle's fate is unlucky. Before he gets married, he will be gone. Yun'er delays I haven't left the cabinet until today. My granddaughter, she looks so good-looking, and she has a gentle temper..."

Yu Simian suddenly understood in his heart that Dr. Nie would be a matchmaker for him, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Thank you, Dr. Nie, for being partial, but this junior is a clay bodhisattva, and he can't protect himself, so he doesn't dare to make promises casually to delay Miss Nie's future. I hope to find another good man.”

Doctor Nie smiled awkwardly: "Since Mr. Yu said so, then we won't be too high-ranking."

Yu Simian waved his hands again and again: "Doctor Nie, please don't say that, the boy is a blessed person, and he really can't afford to be loved. Talking about high-profile, it is really killing the boy."

Doctor Nie sighed for a long time: "My Yuner's marriage is really difficult."

Yu Simian said sincerely: "This is a good thing, so it took a long time. Miss Nie is a blessed person, and she will marry a good family in the future."

For a while, both of them had nothing to say, and the atmosphere was a bit weird, so Yu Simian had no choice but to leave.Nie Yun didn't show up in the room again, and Yu Simian could imagine that this beautiful and kind girl might be weeping silently.He sighed and shook his head, he really couldn't promise anyone the future at the moment.
