Xiong Zhengying opened his mouth for a while before saying,
"Auntie, you're planting chives."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and stroked Xiong Zhengying's arm.
"What a good young man. You haven't married yet, right? Auntie, let me introduce one to you. Our fifth brother is a beautiful girl who is especially compatible with you. It's just that when he was young, he fell from a tree while catching birds and lost one eye. He even crippled one leg. However, this doesn't matter. She's a good person. It's fine as long as she can live a good life, right? How about this? I'll bring her to you when I bring you food next time. The two of you…"
Xiong Zhengying quickly stopped him.
"Auntie! If you don't send the vegetables to my house, they'll buy from others."
The aunt exclaimed,
"Is that so? Then I have to hurry."
Xiong Zhengying quickly nodded and said yes
"Okay, go quickly. Just say that I asked you to come. I'll add 10% to your price. Remember, only the two of you are allowed to deliver vegetables in the future, understand?”
The old couple quickly nodded.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Young Master. You're really a good person."
Xiong Zhengying said.
"Alright, hurry up and go. Don't delay any longer."
After sending them off, Xiong Zhengying finally heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw that the woman was trying to put on her clothes. Xiong Zhengying saw that her lips were dark purple and her face was pale. She felt a little apologetic for waiting for a long night. After the woman put on her clothes, she saw Xiong Zhengying staring at her and felt sad. She put her hand in front of her abdomen and bowed slightly with a smile.
"Thank you, Young Master, for helping me out."
Xiong Zhengying said.
"You waited all night?"
The woman said.
"Young Master entrusted me with the task, I don't dare to leave."
Xiong Zhengying found it even more bizarre
"Who are you in this coffin? If you say that he's your enemy, you'll be bullying me."
The woman mumbled,
"This…this…"
Xiong Zhengying thought,
"Forget it, you're not a bad person, and I'm not the one who accepted the escort. If you ask, ask more. If there's something difficult to say, it's not too late to talk about it at the master's house."
The woman said.
"Young Master Fei accepted the escort? Who was that? Is there anyone else in this escort town who can accept escorts other than your four great escort agencies? This little girl's darts must not be careless at all."
Xiong Zhengying said proudly,
"You really think too much. Do you think this young master is perfunctory? Have you heard of the Xia Manor?"
The woman shook her head blankly.
"Forgive me for not knowing snow, but where is that? Is it also a bodyguard agency?"
Xiong Zhengying said.
"Even if it's not an escort agency, it's still like an escort agency. It doesn't guarantee gold or silver. It only guarantees justice and righteousness.”
The woman said.
"But…Is it stable? This little girl has never heard of it before."
Xiong Zhengying said angrily,
"Woman, you're really annoying. Seeing that you had no way out, I came here to tell you that the Xia Manor was the owner of our Four Escort Agency. The first and second generations of the manor masters were all outstanding martial artists. The thieves heard of his name and fled, which was why they created this Dafu Dart Town. Even the current manor master is a famous figure. I originally wanted to sacrifice my face to help you, but now it seems like it's over!”
The woman hurriedly apologized.
"Young Master, please don't be angry. It's all my fault. Please forgive my ignorance. I will never forget your great kindness. Please lead the way."
Xiong Zhengying snorted and strode forward. The woman pushed the coffin with difficulty and made a creaking sound. Xiong Zhengying turned around and frowned.
"Where are your two pallbearers?"
The woman wiped her sweat and said,
"Let's go!"
"Do you need my help?"
"How dare I trouble you? Please lead the way, Young Master."
"What's your name?"
"My surname is Chen and my name is Qingmi. What about you, Young Master?"
"Xiong Zhengying!"
The two of them arrived at the Xia Manor one after the other. Xiong Zhengying was very surprised to see that the Xia Manor was open and overgrown with weeds. The crowd was moving things out. No one led the two into the manor. Others saw that the two of them were suspicious, but no one cared. When they arrived at the stone steps, Chen Qingmi could only place the coffin down temporarily as she thought that no one would steal this item. She followed Xiong Zhengying up the steps to the main hall and saw Xia Buyan, Xia Qianxing and Xia Xueyan in the hall. Xia Qianxing and Xia Xueyan had solemn expressions as they stood by the side. Xia Buyan was conversing with a few women and when they walked to the door, Xia Qianxing and Xia Xueyan treated Xiong Zhengying as if he was nothing. Xiong Zhengying could only brace himself and bring Chen Qingmi to Xia Buyan to bow. Xia Buyan could not pull himself away and could only smile as he gestured, Xiong Zhengying understood and led Chen Qingmi to stand at the side. He heard a yellow-faced fat lady cover her face and cry.
"This little woman deserves to die. You should know that this trip has caused you to sell this manor. Then we definitely can't come even if we have to kill ourselves! We can't take this money!"
The few women who followed also cried and Xia Buyan smiled warmly to comfort them.
"Zhuang is dead, but people are alive. Is it not worth it to exchange a dead thing for a living thing? Take it."
A woman said gratefully,
"My husband is really blessed by nine lifetimes to have you, a living Bodhisattva. We will never forget your great kindness. In the future, we will definitely let our children grow up to be filial to you."
Xia Buyan said dejectedly.
"Shame, shame, go, go!"
The women split the money and left. Xia Qianxing looked at the backs of everyone and said leisurely,
"I gave them the land, I gave them the money, and now even my father's only manor... If they come again, what else can we give them?"
The man who was as hard as a rock said with tears in his eyes.
Xia Buyan said.
"Don't blame them. Who else can they rely on? Men are the sky of the family. If their sky collapses and the earth is lost, then the world really can't tolerate them. Can we make them feel so disappointed?"
Xia Qianxing
"This time, we're done for, right?"
Xia Buyan said.
"What we owe is love and righteousness."
Xia Qianxing gritted his teeth and suddenly turned his head to look at Xiong Zhengying. Xiong Zhengying was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and dodged.
"Have you seen enough of my family's jokes?"
Xiong Zhengying said,
"Big Brother Xia is joking, how dare I?"
Xia Buyan said.
"Young Master Xiong, do you have something to do at my manor?”
Xiong Zhengying said.
"Just…I have something to ask of you."
Xia Buyan said with a smile.
"Then please move. Since this place is not mine, why don't you come to my new village to meet?”
Xiong Zhengying said.
"Zhengying will do as you say!"
Xiong Zhengying finally arrived at the so-called " new manor " after several twists and turns with the Xia family. It was a thatched cottage far away from the town. There was a fence in front of it and a livestock pen behind it. The trees on both sides were withered.
Xia Buyan said.
"Is Young Master Xiong satisfied? How is it compared to your manor?"
Xiong Zhengying said.
"Since... It is naturally much stronger…"
Xia Qianxing could not help but say angrily,
"What much stronger! Is my uncle someone who needs flattery? I don't need you to talk here!"
Xiong Zhengying said anxiously,
"Big Brother Xia is right, Zheng Ying is too talkative."
Xia Qianxing snorted coldly and Xia Buyan laughed.
"I don't think Zhengying is lying. I also think our manor is better, right Zhengying?"
Xiong Zheng Ying didn't know how to answer, so he pretended to wipe his sweat away. However, under Xia Qianxing's sword-like gaze, he started to sweat even more.
Xia Buyan said.
"Oh right, that old man was rude and neglected you. Who is this lady? Why is she dragging a coffin? Could it be that your family recently accepted this wood business and thought of this old man first? I should prepare one when the time comes."
Xia Qianxing walked towards Xiong Zhengying with a cold face, scaring him so much that he hurriedly waved his hand and said,
"No, no, she... I'm here to entrust you with the escort, say something quickly!"
He pushed Chen Qingmi closer and when she saw Xia Qianxing's heroic bearing, she was certain that only this person in this entire Dart Town could protect them and she immediately knelt down in front of Xia Buyan and said sorrowfully,
"Please live Bodhisattva, live Buddha, save me!"
Xia Buyan said.
"Young Lady, what do you want? Stand up and speak."
He motioned for Xia Xueyan to help him up. Chen Qingqing said with tears in her eyes,
" A few days ago, an alchemist came to my house to stay for the night. In return, he told my husband that he would face a great calamity this year and that he would have to use something bad to deal with it. Therefore, the way to save him was to let my husband hide in a coffin and send him to a cold place to avoid the calamity. Therefore, I sold my family's wealth to ask the manor lord to save my husband. I often heard that there is a village of benevolence and righteousness in Dafu Town that specializes in chivalrous deeds. It is the chivalrous of benevolence and chivalrous. Only by borrowing your chivalrous spirit can we suppress evil spirits. Please allow me to do so."
Xia Buyan smiled and nodded his head without answering. Xia Qianxing replied coldly.
"No wonder there are air holes."
Chen Qingmi said.
"Good eyesight, chivalrous man."
Xia Qianxing
"How can you take the necromancer's words seriously?”
Xiong Zhengying said.
"She is willing to pay two gold ingots."
Xia Qianxing's glance scared Xiong Zhengying so much that he didn't dare to speak anymore.
"The necromancer's words may be small, but this matter is too serious. This little girl doesn't dare not believe it."
Xia Qianxing looked around and pushed open the coffin with one hand. He pulled out the plug, only to hear the person cursing at her again. The words he said to the woman were even more vicious.
Xia Qianxing frowned and asked,
"You said he is your husband?"
Chen Qingmi said.
"Ever since the necromancer left, my husband has been suffering from palpitations for no reason, so I dare not neglect him."
Xia Qianxing remained indifferent and asked as he went up the coffin.
"You said that you are his wife. Do you have any children?”
Xia Buyan rebuked him.
"Xing 'er, do you still have any doubts about the woman's reputation?”
Xia Qianxing said,
"Uncle, this woman is playing tricks. There must be a trick."
Chen Qingmi begged,
"Please save me, Villa Lord. I will carry on your benevolence for the rest of my life and do more good deeds to repay you."
After saying that, he handed over two gold ingots and Xia Buyan said,
"What you said is a small matter, but there are too many gold ingots and we don't need so much. Where is Furen going?”
Chen Qingmi said.
"The farther, the better!"
Xia Buyan said.
"Oh, that makes things easier."
Chen Qingmi felt awkward.
"I have a presumptuous request."
Xia Buyan said.
"Feel free to speak."
Chen Qingmi said.
"Can you send my husband off…Wearing mourning clothes... This... It's also what the necromancer said…That's the only way…"
Xia Qianxing angrily interrupted him.
"What? We are still here to mourn for your husband? You crazy woman, take your gold and push your coffin and get out of here!"
Xia Qianxing's imposing manner and his thunderous expression scared Chen Miqing so much that she fell to the ground. Xia Buyan said,
"Don't be unreasonable."
Xia Qianxing
"Uncle! This woman is full of lies and even threatened us in the name of benevolence and righteousness. Moreover, she has made even more rude requests. From what she says and what she does, we can tell that she is not righteous. We must not help this person!”
Chen Qingmi pleaded on the ground
" I'm telling the truth. I don't dare to lie. I beg you…Young Master Xiong, please speak up for me."
Xiong Zhengying said.
"What do you want me to say? You haven't told me anything. Hurry up and leave."
Chen Qingmi looked at the ground in a daze as she suddenly kowtowed towards Xia Buyan. She used her forehead to hit the ground and the third kowtow was met with a pair of warm palms. She raised her head and saw the warmest smile she had ever seen in her life.
"I believe you."
"Uncle, do you really believe this person's words?"
"I believe in her heart."
She was speechless and could only cry. Xia Buyan picked up a scattered gold ingot and said,
"This old man is greedy."
He agreed to meet the woman for three days. When he sent the two of them away, Xiong Zheng Ying stole a glance at Xia Xue Yan and left with a heavy heart. He cleaned up three thatched huts and the three of them held a lamp to discuss.
Xia Xueyan insisted.
"I think it's better if I go and you accompany Uncle."
Xia Qianxing
"Yan 'er, do you think that your brother is already a cripple?”
Xia Xueyan said,
"How can that be? In my heart, big brother is always the wisest and most divine. It's just that your body shouldn't be tired. Let me go."
Xia Qianxing
"You're also using that kind of words to brush me off. I'm your big brother. If I say you're not allowed to go, then you're not allowed to go."
Xia Xueyan said unhappily,
"Uncle, you should be the judge. Big Brother only knows how to use his status to pressure people."
Xia Qianxing
" You're still the same. You keep using uncle to pressure me, and uncle always favors you. This time, no matter what I say, I can't do it. There's a trap."
Xia Xueyan said,
"Uncle has already said that he trusts that woman. Are you using…that to do that…"
Xia Qianxing
" What do you mean? If you have the ability, say it all. How can you be a person if you don't care about age?"
Xia Xueyan wanted to retort but was speechless.
Xia Buyan said.
"Yan 'er, Xing' er is right. This matter is strange. We have to be careful."
Xia Xueyan said,
"Didn't you say that you trust her heart?”
Xia Buyan said.
"Believe it, but you can't believe everything. If you believe everything, you'll be stupid."
Xia Qianxing repeated.
"I'm stupid."
Xia Xueyan stuck out her tongue at him to express her dissatisfaction.
Xia Buyan said.
"She's a kind-hearted person, but that doesn't mean that a kind-hearted person won't get into danger. It's best to be careful in everything. When something happens, you have to adapt to the situation.”
Xia Qianxing
"Remember…Yan 'er? Uncle…"
Xia Xueyan smiled and nodded,
"I'll remember."
"Uncle, even you think I'm a cripple?…”
Xia Qianxing's blood was boiling and he coughed repeatedly.
Xia Buyan,"Yan 'er, pour your brother a cup of water."
"Oh, I see."
Xia Xueyan agreed.
"I don't want to!"
Xia Qianxing's sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the wooden table. He was filled with hatred. He hated himself for being afraid at that moment and retreating. He had only been afraid once in his entire life, and this time, he had lost everything. This time, he had proven that he was a coward…
"Brother…"
He didn't know if he should be glad or sad, but that knife had avoided his heart meridian and injured his lungs, causing his lungs to be unable to nourish qi. He was easily tired and panting, and he was half-crippled. Seeing Xia Qianxing, who was in the prime of his life, so dispirited, Xia Xueyan felt extremely sad and helpless. She hated herself for always being helpless, and she also hated the person who had changed everything for her. The painful and despairing gaze that she had dreamed of in the middle of the night was still vivid in her mind. At that time, she would think that perhaps he was the most innocent person. Who else could she hate and whom could he hate?
