The dust settles

Chapter 31

He looked behind me and asked, "Did the young master change to a personal servant?"

I said, "Maybe he wants to be my personal servant."

Today, as soon as I arrived at the market, a person followed me like a shadow, followed me back and forth, and walked the small streets seven or eight times.This man only made me feel his presence, but didn't let me see his face clearly.It's a formula, and it's a formula when the Avengers come out.He told me in this way that the enemies of the Maggie family are coming.I left the two boys and Tana on the other side of the river today, as if I was waiting for him to come.In the past, when I thought that my father's enemy, someone else's enemy of the Maiqi family, would come to me for revenge, I felt a little scary.

Now, the enemy has really come, but I am not afraid at all.I asked how the Lashepa toast business was, and he said yes.I turned suddenly, trying to see the man's face, but all I could see was a hat, a wide hat.I saw two swords hanging from his waist, one on the left and the other on the right.The longer one on the left is a double-edged sword, and the wider one on the right is a single-edged sword.

Toast Lashepa smiled, his eyes sank into the meaty rice, and he asked: "Young master also has enemies?"

I said, "If you don't hate me, I don't think I have any enemies yet."

"That is to say, you are paying the debt for your father."

"Maybe it's for my brother."

Chieftain Lashepa raised his fat chin, and two stalwart men stood beside him. He asked me, "Go and catch that guy?"

I thought about it and said, "No."

At this time, there was a cool feeling on my neck, which was very comfortable.It turns out that this is what it feels like when a knife sticks to the meat.I lifted the bridle, walked out of the market, and didn't stop until I came to the river.I look behind me from the water.The Avengers slowly approached.The man was not tall, I thought, and he couldn't reach my neck from the ground.He's getting close.

I suddenly said: "I'm sitting too high, you can't reach it, do you want me to come down?"

As soon as I made a sound, he rolled back and fell to the ground on his back.With a short knife in one hand, he covered his body with the light of the knife, and his hat fell off. I finally saw his face clearly, and immediately knew who he was.

"Get up, I know your father," I said.

His father was Dorji Tsering who killed the Chacha headman for the Maiqi family and was killed by the Maiqi family.

He flipped and stood up, but didn't speak.

I said, "Didn't Dorje Tsering have two sons?"

He came up to my horse with a gleaming knife in both hands.At this time, a woman's scream came from across the river.Tana is still there.I looked at Tana who was screaming.At this time, the enemy has come to the front.This man was not tall, but he stood on tiptoe, and still put the long double-edged sword on my throat.The cool feeling on the sword is very comfortable.I want to get a good look at this killer's face.He's going to kill me, it's time for me to get a good look at his face.Otherwise, he wouldn't be a good killer.But he put the point of his sword to my throat, and made me look at the sky.He probably thought I'd never seen what the sky looked like.I looked at the sky, waiting for him to speak.I think it's time for him to talk.But he just doesn't talk.If he didn't even say a word, he couldn't be considered a good killer.At this time, the place where the tip of the sword was touching began to heat up, and the tip of the sword turned into a faint flame.I thought, I'm going to die.But he refused to wave his hand and picked me off the horse with a sword.

I heard myself laugh: "Let me down, it's uncomfortable."

The enemy finally spoke up: "Bah! Gentlemen, you have to be comfortable when you die."

I finally heard his voice, and I asked, "It's so low, it really sounds like a killer's voice."

"It's my voice," he said.

This time, his voice was not so deep.It might be his usual voice.It was hatred that made his voice low and tense.It seems that his hatred is not enough for me, so after only one sentence, his voice began to loosen.

"what's your name?"

"Duoji Luobu, my father is Dorji Tsering, Mai Qi chieftain beat him to death like a dog in a poppy field, and my mother burned herself to death."

"I want to see if you look like Dorje Tsering."

He dismounted me.As soon as my feet hit the ground, he put the knife on my neck again.This time, I could see his face clearly.The man didn't look much like his father, and he didn't look like a killer.Now it's all right, once the knife goes down, no one needs to worry about me, and no one needs to hate me.

Brother don't need to be wary of me.Tana didn't have to feel wronged that she fell into the hands of a fool.

But the killer put down the knife and said, "Why should I kill you? If I wanted to kill, I would kill your father and your brother. At that time, you hadn't grown up like me. Besides, killing a fool would give me a bad reputation." gone."

I said, "Then what are you doing here?"

"Tell your father and brother that their enemies are coming."

"Go yourself, I won't tell them."

I was still answering, but in a blink of an eye, he disappeared.

At this time, I just started to be in a daze.Look at the sky, the clouds in the sky, the wind, the birds are still there.Looking at the ground, the mud, the grass in the mud, the flowers on the grass, and my feet in the flowers are still there. Many small summer insects are crawling around, looking very busy.

I look at the water, see the splash, see Tana in the splash.Tana came across the river, I thought.At this time, she had come out of the water splash and came to me.She said, "Fool, blood, blood!"

I don't see blood.I only saw that after she came up from the river, the water settled down and the river was calm again.Tana came up from the river, took my hand, held it up in front of my eyes, and said, "Look, blood, fool!"

There is a little blood on the hand, but Tana is too exaggerated, so little.

I asked her, "Whose blood is it?"

"Your!" she yelled at me.

I asked her again: "Whose hand?"

"Your hand!" This time, she yelled at me face to face.

Yes, it's my hand.It was someone who almost killed me, so how could blood get on my hands?I lowered my hand, and another thin stream of blood came out from the cuff of my loose robe like a bug.I took off my sleeve and followed my bare arm to the source of the blood, which was flowing down my neck.Dorji Luobu, an enemy of the Maiqi family, scratched me when he retracted the knife.I was in the river, washed my neck and hands, and the blood stopped flowing.

To my dissatisfaction, the blood flowed into the water without a little stream of water changing colour.

Tana was flustered, not knowing what to do.

She hugged my head and pressed it against her chest.Instead of being blocked by her high breasts, I found a place to breathe between them.Tana held me in her arms for a long time before letting go.She asked me, "Why did that person want to kill you?"

I said: "You are crying, you love me."

"I don't know if I love you or not," she said, "but I know that it was my mother who didn't plant the wheat and made a fool my husband." She took a breath and hugged me like a child face, "Is that person also for wheat?"

I shook my head.

She said like coaxing a child: "You tell me."

I said, "No."

"tell me."

"Tell me!" She raised her voice again to startle me.

She really took me for a fool.She married me for wheat, but she doesn't love me.

It doesn't matter.Because she is so beautiful, because I love her.But I absolutely don't want her to do this to me.An enemy can't do anything to me, but what else can she do to me.

So, I slapped her heavily.The beauty screamed, and she looked at me with very surprised eyes, and then, I didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, my people saw someone trying to kill me from a distance.When they rushed to me, they didn't see the enemy, but they saw me beating my wife.The cripple butler held me back.

He was the only one of so many people who immediately knew what was going on.He asked me, "Are you here?"

I nodded.

A large group of people flocked to the small street that had just been built.My men yelled and walked back and forth on the street several times.They didn't know the killer, and certainly couldn't find him from the street.I saw a man who looked very similar to the man who was going to kill me just now, except that his body was thinner and taller.This person has been here for some time.He opened a tavern in the street.In front of the door, a large Russian-style samovar is steaming all day long.Inside, large pieces of meat were cooked in a cauldron, and a large jar of wine stood against the wall.This is the first tavern that appeared in the territory of Maiqi Tusi, so it is necessary to write here.I have heard people say that history is made up of many firsts.Before that, our people brought their own food when they went out. If they went farther, they would also bring a pot to make tea in the morning and cook noodles in the evening.Therefore, the taverns that have just appeared are just making some tea, cooking some meat, buying some wine, and no more business.My people come and go in the street, and I sit down in the tavern.The owner poured a bowl of wine and set it in front of me.I thought he was very familiar, so I said this idea.He smiled noncommittally.I drank the bowl of wine in front of me.

"The wine is very good," I said, "but I have no money with me."

The owner of the store didn't say a word, just holding a jar, and filled it up for me again.

I was so choked that I could barely breathe.After I caught my breath, I said again, "I seem to have seen you somewhere."

"You haven't seen it," he said.

"I'm not saying I've seen you, I'm saying I've seen your face somewhere."

"I see what you mean," he said.He just stood by with a jar, and I drank a bowl, and he filled it up for me.After a few bowls of wine, I got a little drunk.I said to the shopkeeper, "They didn't even see the killer's face, but they wanted to catch him."

After I finished speaking, I laughed out loud to myself.

The owner didn't say anything, and poured me another bowl of wine.Soon, I was so drunk that I didn't even know when the housekeeper came in.I asked him what he was doing running around outside with people.He said catch the killer.I couldn't help laughing out loud again.The housekeeper didn't care about that, he lost some money to pay my drink bill, and went out to find the killer again.He had already reached the door, and he turned around and said to me, "I want to find him even if I turn this street around like an intestine for an enema."

The butler walks on crutches, without majesty, but when he is on horseback, he is majestic.

I said to the shopkeeper, "They can't find him."

He nodded: "I can't find it, he has already left here."

"Where did you say he was going?"

"Go and find Maggie Toast."

I looked at his face again, although the drunken eyes were warm, but I still saw everything that should be seen.I said to the shopkeeper, "Your face is the face of the man who killed me."

The shopkeeper smiled.He smiled sadly, a little embarrassed: "He is my younger brother. He said he wanted to kill you, but he didn't kill you after all. I told him that the enemy is Toast Maiqi."

I asked him if he had put poison in the wine.He said no.He said I can kill you unless your father and brother are gone.I asked him if he would kill me if his brother never came back.The owner poured me another bowl of wine and said, "I won't kill you at that time, I will try to kill them. If they are all dead, and I didn't kill them, I will kill you."

On this day, I promised the enemy of our family that as long as he takes revenge according to the rules, I will be like, I don’t know him.

That night, Tana, who was beaten up, was warmer to me than ever before.She said: "Think about it, there are vengeful people who want to kill you, there are killers who want to kill you, you have an enemy."

I said, "Yes, I have an enemy, I have met a killer."

I think I did pretty well too.Otherwise, she wouldn't be screaming under me like never before.She yelled: "Hold me tight, scratch me! I'm gone, I'm gone."

Later, she was gone, and neither was I.We all turned into light clouds and flew into the sky.

In the morning, she wakes up before me.With one hand resting on the pillow, she studied me with her eyes.And I can only ask her, and I must ask her: who am I and where am I.She answered them all.Then he giggled and said, "You don't look silly when you fall asleep, but you look a little silly when you wake up."

I have nothing to say on this question, because I cannot see myself in sleep.

The messenger from home arrived and said that my brother had already gone back and told me to go back too.The housekeeper said that he would like to stay here and take care of everything for me.I leave him the armed servant.Sangye Dolma also wanted to go back, so I asked him, "Missing a silversmith?"

Her answer was: "He is my husband."

"Go back and have a look and come back, the housekeeper needs help."
