The leader's strong man

"Stop the car and divert to Fengshui County to sub-rule." Gu Jiuyuan closed his eyes and adjusted his breath without any doubt.

Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Elder Liu was afraid of hurting Chi Yu, so he stepped out of the carriage lightly.

Facing the questioning gazes of the previous people, Elder Liu lowered his voice and said, "Fengshui County is not far from Hongtong County. I guess the leader is likely to go to Hongtong County to find Mr. Guan Yan."

Shen Feibai: "This is normal! Mr. Guan Yan left as soon as he said, without leaving a word. The leader feels very sorry, so he must go and have a look."

Elder Wu: "The teacher is going to take over the helm. We can't all follow. Someone has to stay in the school."

Hearing this, the other four looked at him in unison, their eyes were extremely shocked: Isn't it? !You still carry that thing with you?

Elder Wu smiled, and under their watchful eyes, he took out a lottery that was hidden somewhere.

Elder Liu twitched his mouth: "The leader's condition is unstable, so I have to follow him all the time. Mr. Guan Yan still needs me! There's no need for me to participate!" The matter between the leader and Mr. Guan Yan became more and more complicated , she had a bad feeling that this matter might not be as simple as she thought!

Elder Wu smiled without saying a word, and shook the stick. There were only four sticks in it.

Shen Feibai, who has been lucky recently, waved his big hand: "You guys smoke first!"

Yi Hufa, who was habitually cold-faced, pulled out a bamboo stick, glanced at the bamboo stick, but still had no expression on his face.

"Young man..." Elder Wang spread out the blank bamboo stick in his hand with a smile.

The bamboo stick in Yi Hufa's hand was also empty.

Elder Wu picked one out of the remaining two, but it was still empty!

Shen Feibai: "..."

Elder Wu took back all the lottery papers, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Hongtong County is a remote area with poor mountains and rivers. It is not as beautiful as our Yandang Mountain. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, why does Elder Shen stay in the church to eat crabs and enjoy the moon?" Isn't it beautiful?"

The young man sitting quietly like a statue in the carriage suddenly raised his eyelids, and there was a little unpredictable light in his calm black eyes.

A group of people parted ways at the fork of the official road.

In August, the weather is slightly cool, and the maple leaves all over the mountain are like fire, meeting the sunset glow in the sky, as if burning all the way to the sky.

The man standing on the edge of the cliff and looking into the distance took a deep breath, and his heart, which had been tense for days, finally relaxed in front of the refreshing scenery.

He quietly watched the endless sea of ​​maple forest and fire, turned around and walked down the mountain with a basket full of wild chestnuts on his back.

The ripe fruits on the mountain have all been picked, leaving only the chestnuts with hard shells.Fortunately, he lived and ate alone, and had enough time to make some chestnut dishes.

The back was heavy, and this weight was placed on the body, forcing the bewildered heart to walk steadily. Guan Yan looked ahead, and his steps gradually became steady.

Passing by the cave where the villagers used to hide from the rain, and the rocks were knocked down by lightning and blocked the entrance and exit, he stopped and looked away.

The villagers found another place to shelter from the rain. If this cave is not cleared out, it may not be long before it will be invaded by rats and insects and buried by vines.

His gaze wandered for a moment, Guan Yan straightened his lips, retracted his gaze, and continued down the mountain.

The man came down from the mountain in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the orange light fell behind him. The man's figure became taller and more handsome, and his face became more resolute and cold.

A young man who came back from working in the fields saw it, stared blankly for a while, and said in a daze, "Brother Guan's little tail is gone..."

Hearing this, the expression of the middle-aged man who was walking with the young man changed slightly, and he slapped him hard on the head: "What kind of tail is not tail! Don't say this again!"

The young man rubbed his head in dissatisfaction: "Why can't you say it? Little Tail is Young Master Xiao Jiu, Young Master Xiao Jiu..."

"Don't tell me, you still say it!" The middle-aged man was so mad at his stupid son, he cursed angrily, "Guan Yan has a deep love for Young Master Jiu, and he doesn't even care about his life. Now Young Master Jiu has gone home. There is no intersection with Guan Yan, and you still mention him, isn't this just pouring salt on Guan Yan's wound?!"

The voices of the two people's voices were not concealed, and they hit Guan Yan's ears straight. The man's footsteps froze, and his back tensed unconsciously.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he realized that his voice was too loud, and his expression froze.He struggled to smile at Guan Yan who was walking towards him, and said dryly, "Guan Yan, how about going up the mountain?"

Guan Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, nodded slightly to the two, and lifted his foot to pass them.

"Father, how do you know Brother Guan is treating Young Master Jiu..." the young man asked while watching Guan Yanyuan's back.

The middle-aged man gave him a gouged look: "How do I know, the whole village knows it, but you don't!"

The young man was taken aback: "What the lame said is all nonsense, why do you believe it?"

"The lame man said it was the lame man, it's not the same thing at all." The middle-aged man sighed, his eyes full of regret, "It's disgraceful to break one's sleeves and share one's peaches. Who knows whose family affairs?"

"How many immortal figures like Young Master Jiu can there be in this world?"

"Guan Yan has a kind heart, and he doesn't want to wrong other girls, and he doesn't want to wrong himself. With this temperament, I'm afraid he will end up alone forever."

"What a crime..."

The autumn wind was blowing on his face, and he suddenly felt a little cold, Guan Yanmu walked quickly with a face on his face.

Suddenly, a shrill cry brought him back to his senses.

Guan Yan stopped abruptly and followed the prestige.I saw a group of people around the entrance of the village. There were a few unfamiliar faces in the crowd, who were angrily talking about something for a man with a mustache and a brocade suit. Standing beside him were four strong young men dressed as servants.

A woman wearing a white-washed plain skirt lay on top of a man lying on a stretcher and wept bitterly.Beside her were two children kneeling on the left and right. The boy who was about seven years old was already sensible and hugged the woman weeping bitterly. The girl who was less than two years old was frightened by the mournful wailing of his mother and brother. , Wow, crying and trying to get into the arms of mother.

Guan Yan's eyebrows twitched, he knew this woman, Liu Shi, the daughter-in-law of the villager Er Niu, two days ago her daughter had a fever, Liu Shi asked the villagers to ask him to go over and prescribe a medicine.

He walked towards the crowd without hesitation. Some sharp-eyed villagers saw Guan Yan and said, "Guan Yan is here." Everyone spontaneously moved out of the way, and some villagers told Guan Yan's situation.

"Erniu delivered goods to Li Yuanwai. Who would have thought that he and his horse would fall down the mountain by accident? The person was gone, and the goods were also broken. Li Yuanwai was so angry that now he asked someone to bring the body over, saying that he would not pay any money. He threw the body down the mountain to feed the wild dogs..."

Guan Yan frowned: "Can someone notify the village chief?"

"The dog has gone."

Seeing that everyone in the village gave way to Guan Yan, Li Yuanwai thought that someone who could take charge had come, and with a flick of his mustache, he said viciously: "Let's leave it at that, and pay the money with one hand and the person with the other, otherwise I will consider myself unlucky and chop up the corpse." Broken feed the dog!"

This Li Yuanwai is well-known from all over the world to be rich and difficult to take care of, and he is bitter and stingy, and only the dull and honest Er Niu can bear that anger, and worked for him for two years.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a harvest reunion day, but what happened to Erniu, Liu was out of breath from crying, rolled his eyes, and passed out from grief.

"Mom!" The boy yelled in fright.

The aunt and aunt in the village hurriedly helped him to the side and lay down. Liu's eyes were closed, his lips were white, and he was unconscious.Guan Yan glanced at her slightly bulging, four-month-pregnant belly, pursed his lips, met Li Yuanwai's aggressive gaze, and said in a deep voice: "If the child is crying here, why don't you change the place?" talk?"

"Erniu's family is here, so they can't escape."

Li Yuanwai snorted, and the village chief who rushed over after receiving the news invited Li Yuanwai aside with a smile on his face.

Guan Yan turned around and walked up to the boy, squatted down, and said seriously: "Your father is gone, you still have mother and sister, you are the male of the family, you have to protect your father and take good care of your mother and sister. What do you do?" Got it?"

The boy hadn't recovered from the shock of losing his father, but when he heard Guan Yan's words, there were still tears in his eyes.

Guan Yan said solemnly: "Your sister is frightened, take her down to coax her, your mother is not in a good condition now, don't make her work hard."

"Uncle Guan Yan..." The boy pouted, trying not to let tears fall.

Patting him on the shoulder, Guan Yan slowed down his voice: "Go. We adults are watching here. No one will take your father away."

"Yeah!" The boy wiped away his tears and hugged his crying sister, "Myolie won't cry, brother will take you to see the ducklings!"

After one big and one small left, Guan Yanfang frowned and went to listen to the negotiation between the village chief and Li Yuanwai.

The village head said with a sneer, "Mr. Li, you know what's going on with Erniu's family. How can this orphan and widow get so much money?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I brought his body back for the sake of old love! In a word! Leave it to the rich man, and don't let me take it away!" Li Yuanwai shouted impatiently. When it comes to the county magistrate, I'm the one to take charge!"

Liu, who woke up faintly among the people who had been pinched, rushed over without hesitation, grabbed Li Yuanwai's trousers and wailed loudly: "Li Yuanwai, I beg you! Give me back the Erniu! Let him go to the ground to save him!" Ann!"

"Please!" "Please!!" He knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The onlookers in the village all showed their unbearable eyes, and an aunt and aunt came forward to persuade her to take care of herself, but Mrs. Liu would not listen to anything, and kept begging.Mr. Li's face turned dark, and he was about to kick him away when a voice stopped him.

"how much is it?"

Guan Yan looked directly at Li Yuanwai: "How much will I pay you? I'll take care of her first."

Li Yuanwai looked him up and down, and snorted: "I don't raise the price by sitting on the ground. The carriage includes goods, and the total is 98 taels! Can you afford it?"

98 two?

Guan Yan was stunned, his eyes flickered, but before he answered, Liu staggered to him like a drowning man grabbing the only floating board: "Brother Guan! Help me! I can help you!" You are a cow and a horse! As long as you help me! Please, Brother Guan!!"

Liu's pleas were endless, and all the villagers looked at Guan Yan expectantly.

There must be money in the thank you gift from Young Master Jiu, but no one said so.They don't have the face to say that Guan Yan should help Liu Shi if he has money, that's what Guan Yan deserves.

Unconsciously clenched fists loosened, Guan Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, without changing his face, he said: "Forget me to lend you 98 taels, let's make a written receipt."

Liu's mourning eyes suddenly burst into light, and she kowtowed to Guan Yan with tears in her eyes, Guan Yan had no time to stop, so she had to turn sideways to avoid it.

The village head's wrinkled old face relaxed, and he let out a sigh of relief, calling Qing Zhuang to help carry Erniu back to Niu's house.

"Wait!" Li Yuanwai asked his servants to hold the stretcher, twirled his mustache, and glanced at Guan Yan, "Bring the money and we'll talk!"

Guan Yan nodded to the village chief and walked home.

The man walked hurriedly with his back on his back, no one knew how heavy every step he took was.

98 taels is indeed not much for him now, but the box of gold cannot be moved, and the money he saved in the past has been spent almost, leaving only a few taels of silver, only...

The man's back was as straight as before, but there was an inexplicable sense of loneliness on his body.

Gu Jiuyuan recognized Guan Yan almost immediately.

He frowned and said, "Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Ah Da agreed, and took the leader to take a shortcut to Guan Yan's house.
