Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 27

"Steward, there is really no water to drink, and the brothers can't hold on anymore." The man with a bronze complexion said weakly.

"Don't throw these things away. If you persist for a few more days, the reinforcements will arrive. Don't worry, this mission is over, and your benefits will be indispensable." The round-faced and fair manager gritted his teeth, and at the same time he skillfully drew the pie.

"It's difficult to persevere without water." The man said it was objectively difficult.

"Then kill the horse! There must be water to drink." The steward was also decisive and ordered directly.

"Okay." The supervisor let go, and the man hurried out the door.

From a wide view, it can be seen that this is a small camp on the top of a hillside, built on the cliff, and connected only by a small road.

Dozens of people in the camp saw the man coming out of the tent, and a strong man with five big and three thick eyebrows tentatively asked: "Second Brother He, the steward has agreed."

The man called Second Brother He nodded, and the eyes of the crowd suddenly glowed with gold. Second Brother He winked, and several big men looked at each other and went to the stable.

With a mournful cry, hot horse blood was served.

Ask someone to give some to the brothers on duty, and each will get a small bowl.

Dry mouth skin receives moisture, and a relaxed and happy look appears on people's faces.

Some people ate the noodles in two or three bites, and seemed to have some energy.

"The day before yesterday it was said that the reinforcements had arrived, yesterday it was said that the reinforcements had arrived, and today it was said that the reinforcements had arrived. When will the reinforcements arrive?" After eating the cake, the thick-browed and strong man's mouth was still full of blood.

"Ah Luo, don't say a few words." Second Brother He scolded.

"I'm not afraid of death. I promised Brother Xiaoxun to take him to Chengguo. If I can't do it, I won't die in peace! If he dies in Yuguo due to the war..." Ah Luo licked the corner of his mouth. Bloodstain said.

"What nonsense!" Brother He slapped him on the top of the head.

"I was wrong, I was wrong..." Ah Ro covered his mouth.

"You deserve it, Mr. Zhuang, you dare to talk about it. Fortunately, you were beaten by the second brother, otherwise I want to beat you up too." The tall and thin boy laughed.

"Sable, I can't afford to offend my second brother or you?" Ah Luo blushed after being laughed at.

"Luo Yuecheng, come here."

"Okay, what's the trouble, Huang Xi, don't tease him." Second Brother He stopped the farce between the two.

"Yes, second brother..."

"Second brother He, the brothers are somewhat curious about who this Mr. Zhuang you are talking about." The other men said curiously, they had heard too much of this name in the small group of three.

"..." The three of them fell silent for a while.

"What's the matter, is there anything I can't say?" Someone asked strangely.

"No, it's just that it's hard to describe this Mr. Zhuang." Huang Xi shook his head and said.

"Brother Xiaoxun, sometimes he has the heart of a bodhisattva, and sometimes he is so cold that he doesn't seem like a human being." Luo Yuecheng also said in cooperation.

"Yes, the standards for saving people are different. People like us who are in desperate situations are rescued, but old people who pass by and fall are not helped." Second Brother He also couldn't understand Zhuang Xun's behavior.

"It sounds like a casual person." Others were also surprised.

"It's very weird. Even drinking water has to be boiled first and then cooled." Huang Xi added.

"It's normal for strange people and strange things to happen." Others said.

"How did Second Brother He get in touch with him? It seems that Second Brother He has nothing to do with casualness." Someone asked curiously.

"This is not something difficult to say. I used to be a headhunter of Donghua Road. The new Jiedu Envoy Fengzheng wanted to make money. He asked me to find a reason to arrest and torture the wealthy households in Donghua City. I was not willing. , was demoted to become a small policeman.

Later, I was retaliated by the wealthy family who had offended me before, so I had to escape from Donghua Road. On the road, I was attacked and killed by villains. I was wounded by a knife and robbed of money. When I came to Yindu, my injuries broke out. My wife and daughter wanted to be prostitutes to save my life. .

I was bumped into by Mr. Zhuang for the first time, thinking that my little girl was young, so I paid them to go back. For three consecutive days, it was like this every day. My wife knew his character and begged Mr. Zhuang to save me, willing to sell my little girl to him as a slave .

Mr. Zhuang didn't agree, and asked the reason, he took me to the hospital to see a doctor. All the expenses were contracted, and I was raised at home until I had enough money to survive. "

Speaking of this, Second Brother He's face was full of gratitude, and everyone also sympathized with Second Brother He and respected Zhuang Xun. There are really not many such good people in this era.

Generally, if they change them, they just prostitute a woman and don't care about it. Who cares if a woman is small or small, isn't it better to be small?

"Niece Tan Jiji is still young?" It was the first time Luo Chengyue had heard of it.

"Mr. Zhuang thinks so, less than [-] is not considered an adult, and his words and deeds are consistent. After I moved in, I also avoided my wife and daughter. Ah Luo, you said that you regret not taking Mr. Zhuang out of Yindu. I, He Heng No regrets? If he was here, I would not be afraid that my wife and daughter would be left to take care of me if I died here." Regret also appeared on He Heng's face.

"That's right, staying in the chaotic Yindu just to receive a year's bonus, I don't think Lao Luo is worth it, as if the brothers couldn't support him." Luo Yuecheng was still resentful.

"You still support Mr. Zhuang. If it weren't for Mr. Zhuang, you would have died in the rice store long ago. You still support Mr. Zhuang." Huang Xi bluntly exposed his background.

"How good are you butter mouse, your daughter-in-law has an affair with someone, and your legs were broken. If it wasn't for Brother Xun to see how pitiful you are, maybe you would have been killed by an adulterer and adulterer." Luo Yuecheng was also unwilling Show weakness and expose each other's past.

"Don't mention the adulterer and adulteress, they have already reported to the authorities." Huang Xi's eyes turned red, as if he had hit a sore spot.

"There's nothing wrong with that. The adulterer is the nephew of the general judge of the Ping'an County Government next door. He came out after a stroll in. Maybe he just slept with your wife right now!" Don't look at Luo Yue's rough upbringing, and his ability to break defenses He has.

"That bitch is not my wife, I don't have a wife! I've divorced her long ago!" Huang Xicai refused to follow Luo Yuecheng's trick.

"It's like a bastard, because of her, not only is it difficult to gain a foothold in Yindu, but the house and land are also occupied." Huang Xi still itch when thinking about it now.

"Can you tell me what's going on? Brothers want to hear about it." A group of men who regained their spirits, gossip one by one. They are already boring, so everyone just gags and jokes to waste time. He looked more concerned and sympathetic than He Heng.

"Damn it, I didn't listen to people's words at the time. I picked up a prostitute in the brothel. At that time, she sang well and had a good figure. I was fascinated by it. I spent a lot of money to redeem her. Damn, a lot of money, my money, I'm okay with her, I basically don't let her do anything, who knows that she is in a good mood all day, and when I go out to do business, she colludes with a local hooligan to put a hat on me, once I found out a long time ago when I went home, can I bear it?
He picked up a kitchen knife and slashed the adulterers several times, and turned them over to the government. He thought the matter was over, but who knew that this rascal was actually the nephew of the judge in the next county. Damn it, he actually said that that bitch smashed his family's vase , A mere vase was quoted at 200 taels, that bitch admitted it, and they demanded debt from me.

Not only did they occupy my fields, they also confiscated my house, even the money I hid was found by that woman, and they even broke my legs. There are eight of them.

I was so forced that I had no choice but to flee to Yindu, and then pawned my last silver jewelry. The first time I met Mr. Zhuang, he worked as an accountant in a pawn shop.

Yin Du is also in chaos, money is stolen when he leaves the pawn shop, it is difficult to find a job if he breaks his leg, and he is bullied by the beggar gang for begging, maybe because I met once and I am tall, Mr. Zhuang recognized me , asked me how to spend money so fast, I told my experience.

Mr. Zhuang sighed, what about Pan Jinlian, take me home to recuperate, let me heal my legs, and then find a job by myself. "Huang Xi's eyes were bright after he finished speaking, and his gratitude was beyond words.

"Don't you think he is the accountant of the pawn shop? Why do you feel that he is so generous and generous!" After listening to the others, they had a deep understanding. Which one has not been bullied by this kind of power, and some people listened carefully and raised doubts.

"Although Mr. Zhuang is just an accountant, he is very good at arithmetic. Many caravans without formal accountants will ask him to sort out the accounts and bills, so as to facilitate the connection with large commercial firms, so they have a surplus on hand." He Heng explained.

"To help people in need, you are a hero." Someone said with emotion.

"Don't call him a hero. He doesn't like people calling him a hero. He can be called Brother Zhuang, Brother Inquiry, or Mr. Zhuang. It sounds weird for him to say he's a hero." Luo Yuecheng laughed.

"Then what kind of favor did you receive from Mr. Zhuang?" Now that He Heng and Huang Xi had said it, everyone naturally began to wonder about Luo Yuecheng's situation.

"I know this. I worked in the rice shop and was caught by a thief. I was almost beaten to death. It was Mr. Zhuang who pleaded to save his life." Huang Xi said.

"That's right, but it's not a thief. I, Lao Luo, are not the ones who stole your money. Don't give me a label. You are prejudiced against me." Luo Yuecheng glanced at Huang Xi.

"Stop arguing, the two of you have been arguing non-stop all day long, talk if you want to talk, and rest if you don't talk, I don't know how many days you will be stuck." He Heng also had a headache for these two guys who didn't like each other.

"Speaking of Brother Xun, he was indeed my benefactor. At that time, my mother was ill, and Lao Luo and I spent all my money on medicines. The Butter Mouse was right. I was working in the rice shop, and I really couldn't wait for the salary at the end of the month. So I brought some rice back and was caught. The people from Mihang beat me half to death. It was really hard and I was in pain for several days. "Speaking of this, Luo Yuecheng's face showed a twitching expression, obviously the memory is still fresh.

"Because I was thrown out of Mihang, Brother Xiaoxun happened to be on the same trip with me, because the accountant of Mihang took leave of absence to help Mihang manage the accounts, Mihang thanked Brother Xiaoxun, and gave him a few small bags of polished rice in addition to money, I just stared at him. He looked in his pocket, wondering if he could steal some."

"You still said that you are not a thief!" Huang Xi's face turned black, which is an admission, because his family's woman was stolen and Yin Du's money was stolen, he can be said to have a very bad impression of thieves.

"Listen to him!" He Heng pressed Huang Xi down.

"Maybe my old Luo couldn't hide his expression, otherwise he wouldn't be discovered by Mi Xing. Brother Xun immediately saw that I wanted to steal something, and said to me: Haven't you been beaten enough?

I was so scared that I didn’t dare to move. He was wearing a long robe. How could I, who was in a short shirt, dare to reply that I wanted to steal rice. He took out the rice that the rice line gave him and said to me: Tell me about your situation. up. "Luo Yuecheng recalled the scene at that time, touching the top of his head as if he was sweating.

"What ↑ what ↓ situation." Someone didn't understand.

"I don't know, just like you, he saw that I couldn't understand, and asked me a little weirdly: Why did you steal rice? I said there is no rice at home!" Luo Yuecheng smiled, and everyone present also laughed.

"After I finished speaking, I realized that Brother Xun asked me what was going on at home, and later I realized that he was not helping the poor. If he was in trouble for a while and was able to help, he would not be stingy in helping, but if he couldn't get up, he had no ambition. He doesn't bother to care about the crawling kind."

"Hearing that he spent all his money on treating his mother, he gave me all the rice that the rice shop gave him, told me to take good care of my mother, and gave me dozens of copper coins to help me deal with emergencies." There were tears in the eyes of a tall and thick man here.

"Later, my mother's condition worsened, and no one in my family was willing to help me. I thought of him again. Brother Xiao Xun was also very generous. He gave me the money to buy medicine, and even brought gifts to visit my mother. It took Brother Xiaoxun's help to save my mother, my mother said that this kind of help without any relatives is the most respectable."

"That's Gao Yi? Why haven't I heard of this character in Yindu before? It stands to reason that he should have a good reputation for doing these things." Some people praised and said that they didn't doubt the authenticity of it. After all, a real person had appeared to say it. It's just that everyone is a little surprised now, why I haven't heard of such a generous person before.

"Because Mr. Zhuang doesn't want to be burdened by his reputation, he has his own set of rules in doing things. Luo Yuecheng also said earlier that Mr. Zhuang is just a bookkeeper who doesn't have the ability to help everyone. Everyone has said, don't pass on his name, he can't help everyone, he can only help the people in front of him, and only when it doesn't affect himself." Huang Xi explained.

"Yes, yes, and the standard is very random. If you like it, you can help, but if you don't like it, you won't help. There are many situations like mine.

But after seeing and hearing, I feel that I am filial, so I help, to promote the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and if someone like me seeks his help, can he help?
If you can't help, you will become a hypocrite if you don't help, so he asked us not to spread this kind of news. He said that his ability can only sweep the door. "

Luo Yuecheng also helped to agree.

"Mr. Zhuang once said: I am not a noble and righteous man, but an ordinary person. I don't want to be tied down by false fame. He just needs to do what he thinks is right." He Heng smiled wryly.

He remembered what Zhuang Xun said to him at the time: "Don't praise me, I'm just an ordinary person. At first, I was tempted by my wife's beauty. I'm not a good person. I just saw that Tanmei was young and felt pitiful. Maybe another time or Tanmei. How old you are is different, and after hearing about your experience, big brother, I feel sympathetic, so you don’t have to praise me too high for helping.”

This unpretentious honesty is not a true gentleman, but it is not a villain, so it is difficult to comment.

"That's indeed true. He is really a casual righteous man. Isn't this a good deed that goes unrecognized." Everyone echoed after hearing this.

"Yes, if I don't know if I won't be able to see the sun in a few days, and I don't want to say it, it's hard to repay people's favor. If I don't tell you, I can only tell the King of Hades. I don't know if the King of Hades heard it. It will increase merit for Mr. Zhuang." He Heng said relaxedly.

"That will definitely go up."
