Based on Qishan's understanding of Shen Tang, he knew that Shen Xiaolangjun was not someone who would stay in one place peacefully. He was worried that something might happen, so he would finish what he had to do in a hurry and rush back as soon as possible. result--
Where are people?
Where is such a big Mr. Shen Xiaolang?
Qishan stood there, his face slightly green.
Just as he was wondering whether Shen Tang was taken away by Paihuazi or she took Paihuazi away, a strange and steady male voice sounded in his ears.
"Is this Mr. Qi Shan, Mr. Qi Lang?"
"Hello, husband, I am just praying for kindness."
Qi Shan calmed down his anxiety and crossed his hands to salute the person coming.
After the ceremony, he straightened up and secretly observed the appearance of the person who came - gray hair, old appearance, weathered face, estimated to be forty or fifty years old, wearing yellow and old trousers and wearing straw sandals. These alone were not enough to arouse Qi Shan's curiosity. What surprised him was that this man had a gentle and elegant temperament, his eyebrows were calm and straight, and his black eyes were too clear for his age.
He lowered his eyelids and looked at the person's hands.
They were a pair of rough old hands with frostbite marks, and they were carrying several meat dishes wrapped in lotus leaves. Their owner must have been doing menial work for a long time and came from a poor family. The complex analysis flew through his mind at this moment, and gradually settled into clarity.
He asked calmly: "How do you know Shan's name?"
The visitor smiled kindly and said, "That young man surnamed Shen said it."
Qi Shan knew who "Xiao Lang surnamed Shen" was as soon as he heard it.
The worry that was holding in his chest disappeared with the news, and he asked the visitor again: "Did that young man leave any words?"
The visitor said: "Yes, he said, 'I'm going out of town to do some business and I'll be back later.'"
Qishan didn't know what to say. Shen Xiaolangjun didn't know the way at all. He had never been to Xiaocheng before. What could he do if he left the city?
Qi Shan asked again: "Can you tell me what to do?"
The visitor said: "Do justice for heaven, punish evil and promote good."
Qishan: "...???"
He looked suspicious, no, why did this sound wrong? It seemed like the cult doctrine that the mob was talking about?
Visitor: "Mr. Shen is worried that you won't find anyone when you come back, so I specifically asked you to wait here so that Mr. Qi won't worry."
Qi Shan sighed angrily: "How could Shan be worried about him? Even if he was worried, he would be worried about offending his Xiaoxiao..."
The visitor pursed his lips unnaturally and suppressed a knowing smile.
I have to say, the judgment is quite accurate.
When Qi Shan heard from a stranger about Shen Tang's "wonderful" experience at this hour, his mood management lost control for a moment - he had only been away for more than an hour, did Shen Xiaolangjun recruit people like this? It's just that things have happened, and it's useless to say anything.
Qi Shan chatted while waiting for Shen Tang to come back.
His face was calm, but his heart was full of doubts.
This old man looks like a poor man, but his words, demeanor, and demeanor look like he has been soaked in the incense of sesame all year round and raised in a wealthy family. Even though he is wearing yellowed and old tassels and his hands are full of traces of rough work, his charm remains unchanged.
As they talked, Qi Shan chatted about Yan Ling.
He has recently studied the spirit of military formation - "Throw yourself into a trap" and "Trapped beast still fights". The former is used to arrange troops and deceive the enemy's troops, while the latter is mostly used to stimulate the momentum when one's own situation is defeated, which is a final struggle. If you seize the opportunity, there is also a chance for a comeback.
When the old man heard Qishan talking, he seemed to be in a trance for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of, and he said: "Throw yourself into a snare and bring about your own destruction... The words used by Qi Langjun are like, 'You can't see a bird in the fence, but you can see a harrier.'" Surrender yourself'? That's not good."
Qi Shan was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is it bad?"
"It's easy to be targeted. If the enemy's planners are more thoughtful than you, you can break the formation by just 'drawing your sword and throwing a net, so that the oriole can fly'." The net has been broken by the sharp sword, but it can still be trapped. The oriole that lives inside? Naturally, the sky is high and birds can fly.
"In my opinion, what's better?"
The old man said: "It is better to sink into the fire and perish."
Qishan: "..."
If "throwing oneself into a trap" still leaves a way for people to survive, and if they have the opportunity to "draw their swords and drag the trap with them," the Yanling mentioned by the father-in-law is a killing move that kills the enemy, full of murderous intent. Qishan looked at his father-in-law with some surprise. This man looked kind and opened his mouth to kill someone.
"Then - in my opinion, the trapped beast is still fighting?"
The old man was not interested: "On the battlefield, the enemy will fight to the death. If you have the mentality of 'a trapped beast still fights' and leave room for victory, it may be difficult to win for a long time."
Qishan: "..."
It is true that people should not be judged by their appearance.
He thought he was good enough to take the wrong path, but he didn't expect to meet someone who was even more biased than him, but this old man... Before Qi Shan had any more ideas, Shen Tang trotted over on the mule. He jumped down and said with a smile: "Yuanliang, I've been waiting for a long time."
Qishan put away his unnecessary thoughts and took a closer look at Shen Tang's clothes and hands. They were clean. Could it be that no one was killed?
"You said 'do justice for heaven, punish evil and promote good', but what about 'evil'?"
Shen Tang leaned on the motorcycle with one hand and said with a natural expression: "They are fast on their feet. They can probably ask Po Meng for a bowl of soup by now."
Qishan: "..."
The "evil" of co-authorship is really plural.
This Mr. Shen Xiaolang is also very violent.
When the father-in-law saw Shen and Tang meeting, he said goodbye.
Qi Shan hurriedly asked his father-in-law where he lived now, and if there was an opportunity, he could have a discussion, but his father-in-law politely declined.
Seeing his father-in-law leaving with several lotus leaf bags, Qi Shan frowned and didn't come back to his senses until Shen Tang waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"What?"
Angrily, he slapped the back of Shen Tang's hand away.
Shen Tang said: "No matter how much you look at me, you will never look back."
Qi Shan murmured: "What a pity."
Shen Tang took out two candies and chewed them, then trotted up to keep up with Qishan's footsteps, and curiously asked, "What's the pity?"
Qi Shan said: "This person is not simple."
Shen Tang thought he was going to say something, and said: "It's certainly not easy to catch someone at a glance if you are thrown into the vast sea of people. His temperament doesn't look like an ordinary person. I don't know if it's because of his family's downfall or other changes. .”
It's not that she didn't guess that the old man was a hermit who "hides mostly in the city and sometimes hides in the wild", but a hermit also has the qualities of a hermit. Even if you live in poverty, you won't have to live in such shabby clothes and do so many menial jobs that ordinary people would despise.
Qishan didn't answer, so Shen Tang asked again: "Seeing that you were chatting happily, you seemed to regret meeting each other so late, what were you talking about?"
"Yan Ling."
"He has Wenxin?"
Qishan lowered his eyes: "Maybe, it happened before."
Shen Tang: "???"
Did it ever exist, does it mean it doesn't exist anymore?
To be able to attract the attention of even Qi Shan, the two must be "compatible". Shen Tang couldn't help but be curious - why did the father-in-law lose Wen Xin? Is it just like the Gong family who ransacked their homes and sent them into exile, forcibly abolishing Dan Mansion and crushing Wen Xin?
As Qi Shan walked, he found that the footsteps behind him were missing.
Turning around, he saw Shen Tang running to a butcher shop that was closing down its stalls, asking the butcher about something, and came back soon.
