Flowers are expensive

Chapter 103

"When are you willing to say it? I'll take your hand back. If you don't say it, you'll carry it yourself if you die of pain. If you don't say it within a stick of incense, I'll have to break your other arm .”

Dongping asked with a smile: "Brother Man Ting, would you like some incense?"

"Come on, we have time to spend with him anyway," Man Ting finished speaking and glanced at the shocked Jin Hui beside him, "Uncle Jin Hui, why don't you come and try?"

Jin Hui had long been paralyzed with fright, seeing Sun Dao writhing in pain, with tears and cold sweat streaming down his face, he trembled all over.He stared at Man Ting with purple lips and said, "You... you dare to touch me... I, our Jin family will not...will not let you go!"

"Then you have to ask first, if the whole village can let your Jin family go!" Man Ting said with a cold expression.

"You you you..." Looking at Man Ting's cold eyes, Jin Hui was terrified to the extreme, and wanted to argue but didn't even have the strength to straighten his tongue.

Haitang copied his hands from the side and said, "Uncle Jin Hui, you old man has calculated other people's life, so you have to calculate it for yourself, right? Would you rather be a quadriplegic and be a reptile in prison, or keep two hands to touch the bowl and eat?" Prison food? You can choose by yourself? Sun Dao is still young, and it is easy to connect the bones if they are broken and misplaced. Why should you, an old man, fight with Man Ting? It is not easy to connect your old bones if they are broken!"

There was a burst of laughter in the room.Man Ting sat back beside Li Hua, looking at Sun Dao who was struggling in pain with a cold expression, as if he wasn't the one who broke Sun Dao's arm alive just now.Lihua squinted at him, and felt an incredible aura about him for the first time. She couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but it was heart-shattering anyway.

Sun Dao was swearing some foul words, Dongping couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked him twice, cursing: "I'm really impatient to live? Do you want me to tie your tongue with a rope? Anyway, grandpas tonight Some are free, play with you!"

Sun Dao was still cursing, and the more he scolded, the worse it sounded, and he greeted all the eighteen generations of Xie family ancestors.Dongping got angry, and when he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to deal with him, Manting said: "Go find a rope."

"Brother Manting, what are you looking for with a rope? Tied him up?" Dongping asked.

"Hang up his broken arm."

Everyone in the room was startled, including Lihua.Lihua turned her head to look at Manting with a look of surprise, she didn't expect that there were so many ways to torture people in his mind.He seemed to have noticed the strangeness in Lihua's eyes, turned to Lihua and said, "Don't stay here, take Yutao out."

"Are you really going to hang him up?" Li Hua asked with a frown.

"You don't have to worry about it, go out first."

Lihua really didn't want to watch it anymore, after all, Sun Dao's wail was too miserable, so she hurriedly pulled Yutao out of the hall.After the two only women left, Dongping also found a rope, tied Sun Dao's swollen arm, and asked Man Ting, "Brother Man Ting, are you hanging on the beam?"

"Ah."

"Okay!" Dongping played very vigorously, threw the rope over the beam, and then pulled it hard, and Sun Dao immediately let out a scream that was ten times more painful than before.Some timid people were a little terrified, and Jin Hui was even more frightened out of his wits, hugging his arms vigorously, as if such a thing would happen to him immediately.

"The surname is Xie..." Sun Dao's head was covered with cold sweat and his lips were purple from the pain, "You must die!"

"Have you ever played with buckets, Dongping?" He asked with idle eyes.

"I've played it! What's the matter, Brother Manting, do you want to play bucket pulling? Pulling and pulling is more fun, isn't it?"

"Ah."

"Okay!" Dongping spat into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, held the other end of the rope and smiled, "Then let's play with buckets!"

"No!" Sun Dao shouted hoarsely and painfully.

"Want to talk?" Man Ting slightly raised his head and asked him who was half hanging in the air, "I will only give you one chance, if it is wasted, it is your own business."

"I said... I said..." Sun Dao really couldn't stand the constant pain in his arm. If he pulled it up and down a few times, his arm would definitely break.He's just a robber, and he hasn't thought of playing to the point where he puts his life on the line.

Man Ting nodded, asked Dong Ping to put him down, and then said: "After you have enough rest, you can clear your mind before talking about it. I don't like to listen to nonsense."

Sun Dao collapsed on the ground and took a long rest before recovering.He resisted the pain and said slowly: "Actually...in fact, Jin Hui and my master...were just...to make a living..."

There was an uproar in the whole room, followed by cursing.Jin Hui buried his head in the crook of his arms, wishing he could hit a hole with his head and get in!

"And then?" Ma Liu asked angrily, "Who asked you to do the robbery and murder of us a year ago? Was it Jin Hui?"

Sun Dao nodded profusely with sweat and said: "Yes, Jin Hui asked us to do it. We didn't wander around this area because the villages here are scattered and poor, and there is no money to be made. A year ago, Jin Hui told me If you want to clean up a few people, let me lead the brothers to block the road and rob."

"Let you do it for nothing? You're not that stupid, are you?" Haitang asked.

"He said that the money and things we robbed belong to us, as long as we can scare the people who come out of the mountain."

"Scared?" Deng Kailuo stepped forward and kicked Sun Dao and shouted, "What the hell do you call scaring? If the whole court hadn't lasted till the end, all of us would have died! Go to your ancestors!" Yes, if you don't tell the truth again, I will break your other arm too!"

"Don't, don't, don't!" Sun Dao hurriedly begged for mercy, "We really didn't want to kill you at the beginning, we just wanted to grab something and beat you up, and help Jin Hui scare you, so that you don't dare to come out of the mountain rashly in the future. But who Thinking about it, some of you who were able to fight fought fiercely. We panicked at that time, fearing that you would report to the police, and thought that we would not stop doing one thing, so we simply killed it!"

"You vicious bastard! Are you still human? Do you kill people when you see them? We are all lucky. I don't know how many unlucky people died in your hands! I really want to give it to you now." My head is blooming!" Deng Cailuo cursed angrily, and kicked him twice.

"Don't beat him to death, save life for the Yamen." Man Ting said.

"Okay, I'll step on you again to vent my anger for my father!" Deng Kailuo stepped on Sun Dao's leg after he finished speaking, and he screamed again in pain.

Man Ting's eyes turned to Jin Hui, and asked with a cold face: "Uncle Jin Hui, do you have nothing to say? Or should we wait until we get to the Yamen?"

Jin Hui was so frightened that he couldn't speak a word.Ma Liu stepped forward and grabbed his clothes, and asked, "Why did you do this? After all, we are all from Zique Village. How could you do such a heartless thing?" Woolen cloth?"

Jin Hui held his head and didn't dare to answer, squatting on the ground in fear and trembling.Haitang sneered and said, "Boss Ma, do you even need to ask? It's because money has blackened my conscience! The trip out to the mountain a year ago was the most crowded in the village. Most of the things in the village are handed over to him. Who knows how much price difference and commission he earned there? The more people want to leave the mountain, the less things are handed over to him. His pocket is deflated, can he be content? Am I right, Uncle Jin Hui?"

"It's really a conscienceless thing!" Deng Kailuo stepped forward to grab Jin Hui in a bad temper, and punched him in the face.He yelled loudly, staggered and fell towards the wall, and exclaimed: "You have the guts to kill me! I'm a ghost and I won't let you go!"

"The end of the road." The corner of Man Ting's mouth curled up into a sneer, and he said these words lightly.

"Xie Manting," Jin Hui didn't know whether he was extremely angry or frightened, and pointed at Manting and questioned, "You have already seen it, haven't you? It's your trick to make excuses for not going forward these days, isn't it? ?”

"Finally woke up?" Man Ting looked at Jin Hui with a blank expression and said, "I noticed that something was wrong with you a long time ago, so what happened these few days is a game I set up for you, this is called asking you to enter the urn, understand ?”

Jin Hui didn't understand, and few people present could understand.Man Xiang asked curiously: "Fourth brother, what are you inviting into the urn?"

"It's just that I came up with a bad idea, but ended up dying on this bad idea."

"Oh," Man Xiang nodded, pointed at Jin Hui and said happily, "Uncle Jin Hui, do you understand now? You tried to scare us with robbers this time, but my fourth brother bit me back, you are so stupid! The same Is the trick still working? Your old man doesn’t want to change his envoy? Is your brain too stupid to think of anything else?”

The people in the room burst into laughter, Jin Hui's face was green, speechless, he was so flustered that he didn't know what to do!

"Tie it up!" Ma Liu waved his hand and said, "Take them to the town together tomorrow morning! Let's see how they escape now! I'm afraid they have committed more than this! You've done a great job, and you should ask the county lord for a reward later on. I've been tired for a few days, so everyone should have a good rest tonight!"

The accounts were settled, and the anger was relieved. Everyone was in a good mood, and even took out two jars of wine that were going to be sold out to celebrate.

Man Ting went back to the hut where Li Hua was resting without taking a few sips.Lihua was lying on the bed and fell asleep with her clothes on, a pair of black eyelashes drooping lightly, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, as if she was dreaming a sweet dream.When Man Ting moved her into his arms, she didn't wake up, but continued to sleep soundly with a whimper, which showed that she was really tired.

Man Ting looked at Pear Blossom without any sleepiness, and stared at the messy spider silk on the roof with his eyes open.Lihua suddenly rubbed against his arms, and opened her eyes twice, her eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly flapping its wings, which was very beautiful.Maybe she was too tired, she tried to open her eyes, but she still didn't open them, but there was still one thing in her mind, so she muttered something to herself.

Man Ting moved his face closer and asked softly, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm going to the town..." Lihua uttered a few words in a half-dream and half-awake state.

Man Ting couldn't help but wonder how much this girl wants to go out and play?Even in a dream, I still remember this matter.He gently stroked Lihua's back and said, "I don't intend to send you back, so just go if you want."

In fact, after seeing Li Hua suddenly before, he had no intention of sending Li Hua back. This was the first time he experienced the ecstasy brought by reunion after a long absence.And especially when he learned that Lihua was almost dead, he was the only one who knew how scared he was.Put pear blossoms under his eyelids so that he can feel at ease.

Lihua's eyelashes moved lightly again, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, as if this answer had already satisfied her.She opened and closed her lips a few more times, muttering a few incomprehensible sounds, as if she was talking in a dream.It can be seen that she really wants to talk to Manting, but she can't resist the attack of sleepy bugs, she looks very cute and cute like that.

Man Ting smiled faintly, patted the quilt twice as if coaxing a child, and Li Hua fell asleep peacefully.

That night, Lihua slept very deeply and died, because she hadn't slept so peacefully for several days.At dawn, she was awakened by a burst of talking and laughing. She opened her eyes and looked at everything strange in the room, as if she had a dream.
