The lanterns under the eaves emit a warm red light in the dark night, adding a layer of quiet and peaceful beauty to the courtyard.
Inside the house, Zhang Dacai was lying on the bed, chatting with his wife.
He was completely unaware of the fierce battle that had just occurred underground.
"It's not easy for Uncle Zong. I haven't had a companion all these years. I always want to find a wife for Uncle Zong. What do you think, sir?"
Zhang Dacai's first wife was a very gentle woman. She was lying on the bed and spoke softly to Zhang Dacai in front of her.
"You think I haven't mentioned it in these years? My words are almost worn out. Ever since my father was a child, he has been looking for someone to help Uncle Zong. Uncle Zong is either dissatisfied or unwilling to find someone. I don't know why. .”
Zhang Dacai sighed in the darkness.
"Did Uncle Zong have a girl he couldn't let go of when he was young, so he stayed unmarried all these years?" the lady asked.
"I have never heard my father say anything about this. Maybe it is possible. Madam, don't worry. I will talk to Uncle Zong in the next few days." Zhang Dacai said.
"Actually, I feel sorry for how uncle Zong has worked so hard these years. If he were left to die alone like this, our family would be stabbed in the spine." The lady sighed.
"Madam still knows my heart. Don't worry, I will remember it." Zhang Dacai said.
"Well, it's not like you. This means that the family fortune is smaller. If you become the richest man in Wuhu, I'm afraid you won't want to marry all the beautiful women in Wuhu into your family." There was a hint of resentment in the wife's words.
"Madam, you have wronged me. Am I such a lecherous person?" Zhang Dacai smiled bitterly.
"What I'm saying is that women are doomed to have a hard life. Don't hang around my house all the time. Go there more often. After all, the matchmaker is marrying me. Don't neglect her," the lady said.
Zhang Dacai held his wife's hand and said softly: "I am very relieved to have a good wife at home."
"You can say nice things to me," the lady said. "I'm not up to par, and I can't help your Zhang family. My mother doesn't say it, but she's really anxious in her heart..."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Zhang Dacai said with a smile.
"Zhang Dacai, come out!" At this moment, a woman's shout suddenly rang out in the courtyard, startling Zhang Dacai and his wife. "Who is shouting?" the lady asked doubtfully.
Zhang Dacai's head shook like a rattle, and he couldn't even speak.
"Could it be that you incurred some romantic debts this time when you went to Ningbo, and people came to your door?" the lady said teasingly.
At this time, there was a trace of solemnity on Zhang Dacai's face, and he said: "Madam, please don't joke. It's late at night. Logically speaking, Uncle Zong wouldn't let someone in so easily. How could this person appear in our courtyard?"
"Yes, then go and have a look. This voice doesn't sound like a friendly guest. No matter what, don't treat others rudely." Madam was reasonable, and at this time she still wanted to remind Zhang Dacai how to treat guests.
Zhang Dacai hurriedly put on his clothes, thinking about the familiar voice, and had an unknown premonition in his heart.
He walked out of the house and saw Jiang Yan standing in the courtyard. At this time, a bunch of flames were jumping repeatedly on the fingertips of Jiang Yan's right hand, reflecting Jiang Yan's expressionless face.
"Miss Jiang, I wonder why you come to my humble house so late at night?"
Zhang Dacai saw Jiang Yan's unkind look and quickly said politely.
While he was talking, he was filled with doubts in his heart. Qi Zhen told him that he was leaving Wuhu with his companions today, so why did he come to visit him again at night? Could something have happened?
Jiang Yan looked at the surprised expression on Zhang Dacai's face and said calmly: "Come with me."
"Where are you going?" Zhang Dacai stepped forward and asked.
Jiang Yan didn't answer, turned around and walked forward on her own, but the flames in her hands increased by three points.
Zhang Dacai did not dare to ask any more questions and followed Jiang Yan step by step to the door of the wine cellar.
But she became more and more confused, how could this Miss Jiang be so familiar with her own home?
"Qi Zhen and the others are downstairs, let's talk after we get down."
Jiang Yan turned sideways and let out the entrance to the wine cellar.
Zhang Dacai walked down the steps into the wine cellar with doubts.
At this time, Qi Zhen had finished drinking the wine in the bowl, and when she heard the noise behind her, she turned to look.
"Mr. Qi, what are you..."
Under the light of the wine cellar, Zhang Dacai smelled the strong aroma of wine in the air and saw Qi Zhen and Li Qiang sitting side by side, as well as Meng Ran and Li San leaning against the wall.
Qi Zhen's expression was extremely exhausted, her mental strength was overdrawn, and she suffered a huge blow from the death of her teammate. She also drank a lot of wine. At this time, her eyes were not willing to give in when she activated the Blood Wheel Eye. They were so red that they seemed to bleed. .
He nodded towards Zhang Dacai as a greeting.
Li Qiang didn't mean to speak, he just looked at Jiang Yan who was walking behind Zhang Dacai.
Jiang Yan pointed to several "defeated generals" in turn and said slowly:
"She passed out and needed a place to rest."
"He's about to faint and needs a place to rest."
"He is dead, please help find a place to settle him."
"He and I, we won't faint, but we also need a place to rest."
"sorry to bother you."
Jiang Yan's voice was neither loud nor fast, and his language was extremely concise, but every time he pointed at a person and said a word, it would stir up a storm in Zhang Dacai's heart.
"I'm going to find Uncle Zong." Zhang Dacai said quickly.
He knew that no matter what he said at this time, it would be superfluous, and it was only right to help the other party first.
However, this sentence is precisely the most superfluous sentence.
"There is no need to look for it. It is precisely because of Uncle Zong that we are like this." Jiang Yan said calmly.
The shock in Zhang Dacai's heart could not be greater, but at this time his expression did not change, and he immediately answered: "Okay, okay, I'll talk to you later, I'll call someone over."
"Captain, I'll take a break." Qi Zhen said to Li Qiang.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Li Qiang said softly.
Qi Zhen threw her head back and passed out.
Zhang Dacai was startled by Qi Zhen and asked quickly: "Is Mr. Qi okay?"
"It's just that my body is a little overdrawn, that's okay." Li Qiang said.
Zhang Dacai didn't dare to delay any longer and turned around and walked out of the wine cellar.
Soon, several servants and courtyard workers came to the wine cellar and settled Qi Zhen and others in separate rooms.
What the servants didn't understand was that the master actually condescended to come to the servants' yard, but Uncle Zong didn't know where he went.
Seeing the master's panic-stricken eyes but his face as sinking as water, the servants didn't dare to ask more questions.
When they saw the state of Qi Zhen and others, the servants were even more surprised. How come so many people came all of a sudden and they didn't know anything about it?
