Zheng Bajin quickly calmed down, held Qingqing's hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I have everything under my control."
Qingqing was really frightened and her body began to tremble. After listening to Zheng Bajin's words, I felt a little at ease.
She believed that Zheng Bajin was Zheng Banxian and would definitely protect her.
"Come out!" Zheng Bajin shouted unceremoniously at the two people in front of him.
For people who are sneaking around in the middle of the night, they are not good people at first glance. Of course, you can't be too polite, otherwise, you will really be thought to be easy to bully.
Two men came out. Under the moonlight, they looked tall. However, their faces were covered with two pieces of black cloth. They were obviously from Nianjia Village and they were afraid of being recognized.
In fact, this kind of shameless dressing up is really just taking off your pants and farting - unnecessary.
Zheng Bajin was unfamiliar with the place, and the only people he had come into contact with in Nianjia Village were a few gamblers and the two men he met on the mountain.
Naturally, those two people wouldn't do such a thing where a good dog wouldn't block the road, or they were just two gamblers.
Although Qingqing grew up in Nianjia Village, she had been suffering from social anxiety since she was eleven or twelve years old. She never showed up in the village, so naturally she would not know these two people.
"What are you doing?" Zheng Bajin said without taking a step back, looking straight at the two of them.
"Haha, I heard that you are a half-immortal, so I wanted to learn from you to see if you are a master of eating and drinking." A man suppressed his voice and sounded shrill.
"Haha, you are trying to imitate the crow of a hen, which is nothing like it!" Zheng Bajin laughed and said, "I not only eat and drink together, but also sleep together. But, I really have no interest in you two. . To be honest, is it Bao Juan who ordered this? What is the real purpose?"
"Haha, I don't know what you are talking about?" The two of them were stunned for a moment, as if they were surprised by their identity, but they quickly calmed down and denied it.
"Stop pretending! As soon as you two raise your tails, the world will know that you are going to have diarrhea." Zheng Bajin said, suddenly laughing, thinking in his heart, Bao Juan just went to gamble during the day, and she didn't have it at that time. Knowing that he was leaving tonight, how could he call two gamblers to block his way?
By the way, at night, she just went out to use the toilet!
Nowadays, all toilets in rural areas are built outdoors and are called dry toilets. On hot days, there are swarms of flies and mosquitoes, and the smell is overwhelming.
This is a product of an era. If everyone wants to farm land, they must accumulate fertilizer. It was not until thirty years later that the concept slowly changed.
Carry out hygiene activities and build sanitary toilets. People no longer use this kind of farmyard manure, and dry toilets are gradually banned. This is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
The two men felt a little annoyed after hearing Zheng Bajin's offensive words. They took a step forward and wanted to teach Zheng Bajin a lesson first.
"Wait a minute!" Zheng Bajin shouted, startling the two of them.
"Why, you, a so-called semi-immortal, are actually scared?"
"No, I behave upright and stand upright, so what am I afraid of? It should be you who are afraid." Zheng Bajin said coldly, "What you are doing is tantamount to robbery on the road."
"Robbery? You are just a pauper, wandering around eating and drinking. What is there for us to rob?" The two were exposed on the spot, but for the sake of profit, they had no intention of backing down.
"Haha, someone tipped you off that I, Zheng Bajin, have money, and you are here to steal the money." Zheng Bajin laughed and said, "You must think carefully. According to the law, if you block the road Robbery, at least five years.”
"Nonsense, you mean robbery when you say robbery? We just want to discuss things with you, but we can't bear to see you defrauding people of their money." The two stopped and looked at Zheng Bajin and said.
"Discussion? Haha, thank you for thinking that I am not free now." Zheng Bajin saw that his move of throwing stones and asking for directions had an effect, scaring the two people in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, "If you weren't here to rob, you guys How come you know so clearly that I am defrauding people of their money?"
"This..." The two of them were speechless for a moment.
"Hmph, you dare to report it to the official? You don't have to go in anyway. It's illegal to defraud people of money," one of them said.
"That's not necessarily true. I have a clear testimony. This is not a lie. It's money earned by relying on one's own skills." Zheng Ba said with a smile, "Seeing as you are from Nianjia Village, I will see you sooner rather than later." Finally, I would like to advise you two, go back and pretend that nothing happened. If you want to discuss things, there are plenty of opportunities. You can come during the day, not at night. Moreover, you are still covering your face. Isn’t this the same as saying something on your face? Is it a thief word?"
The two looked at each other, not daring to do anything again. A question flashed through their minds at the same time: How did this boy know that they were from Nianjia Village?
"Okay, the matter is over. I would like to advise you two, stop gambling with Bao Juan. You are young and find something serious to do." Zheng Bajin said, pulling Qingqing, from the second People walked by.
After walking about ten meters, she saw that the two men were not chasing after her. Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How do you know that they are from Nianjia Village? Do you also know that they are here to rob?"
"Haha, you guessed it." Zheng Bajin laughed and said softly, "If you think about it, they were waiting here specially. They already knew that we were going to pass by here. And everyone who knew that we were leaving tonight except Xiao Xiao Cao and your dad, who else?"
"Bao Juan?" Qingqing gritted her teeth, "It must be her. I've even run away from home, but she still doesn't want to let me go."
"Yes, Xiaocao certainly won't find anyone to harm you, and neither will your father, only her. She went to the toilet on an excuse at night, just to find someone to ambush, because she couldn't stand me. , but actually he wanted to hurt me, and finally, he would take you to another place and put the blame on me."
Zheng Bajin felt a little cold when he thought about Bao Juan's operation. This woman is so cruel!
"Really, you can't be so cruel, right?" Qingqing still couldn't believe that Bao Juan would do this.
"Oh, my Qingqing, what can I say to you? You are too simple and don't know the dangers of people's hearts." Zheng Bajin said pitifully.
Qingqing's face felt a little hot and her heart was beating fast. She broke away from Zheng Bajin's hand and cursed: "What is your Qingqing?"
"Haha, haha." Zheng Bajin laughed happily.
"What are you laughing laughing?"
"I'm so happy. It's rare for someone as stupid as you to dare to follow me even if you haven't been to my house."
"No matter what your family looks like, it's better than mine."
Zheng Bajin shook his head. He couldn't bear to break her dream. As long as he loved and cared for her to the best of his ability in the future, he would consider it as compensation for her.
"Come, let me carry you!"
"Who wants you to carry it? I have feet." Qingqing was stunned for a moment, so naturally she didn't want him to carry it.
At this time, the two people who planned to rob Zheng Bajin on the road, one named Nian Xiaoguo, had returned home and started gambling with others again.
However, this night, his luck was so bad that he lost so much that his eyes turned green.
At this time, he remembered Zheng Bajin's words and advised him not to gamble anymore. He couldn't help but feel shocked. Did Zheng Bajin predict that he was unlucky?
Is it really so amazing?
Nian Xiaoguo's mind began to waver and he cursed, "Stop playing!"
"You kid, if you go out for a while, you'll be so distracted, and you'll get angry when you lose a little money. Are you still a man?"
"Stop talking nonsense, we won't play tonight." Nian Xiaoguo said, feeling confused and putting away the cards.
…
At dawn, Zheng Bajin took Qingqing to Shili Village, the most remote village in Xiayu Township.
Along the way, Qingqing couldn't walk several times. Zheng Bajin tried to carry her on his back, but he refused every time.
She had never been so close to a man, nor had she ever been on a man's back.
Zheng Bajin didn't dare to be aggressive, so he could only let her go and rest while walking.
Even so, Qingqing was so tired that she almost lost strength, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why is it so far? Are we getting there soon?"
"We're here, it's the village in front of me. I asked you to carry me on my back, but you didn't let me go. The journey of more than thirty miles is not just for fun." Zheng Bajin buried his face.
Thirty miles is really not easy for a little girl who can't get out of the door or take any steps forward.
"I'm afraid that others will touch my body!" Qingqing whispered and lowered her head.
Zheng Bajin was heartbroken and comforted him softly: "It's okay, we'll be there soon. Just hold on a little longer."
"Yeah!" Qingqing nodded, grateful that Zheng Bajin didn't force anyone to do anything.
Zheng Bajin suddenly stopped and looked through the pale east to see a thin figure in front of him, hurriedly walking towards here.
He was shocked, wasn't this his mother Hu Ying?
It was not strange to go out so early, but she was very unusual today. She only held a stick in her hand, which seemed to be used to beat dogs, and there was no tool for picking up feces.
He left the village early in the morning, not to go to work. He left in such a hurry. There must be something strange. Did something happen at home?
"Mom!" Zheng Bajin called.
Although he tried to make his voice as gentle as possible, Hu Ying was still startled and said in surprise: "Why are you here? Where have you gone, you prodigal son!"
"Mom, what happened? Don't say that to someone the first time we meet. It's very sad." Zheng Bajin sighed, looked back at Qingqing, and said, "Don't mind, my mother likes to scold me, but her heart It’s good.”
Hu Ying also saw another slender figure and saw that it was a girl. She was frightened and did not bother to answer Zheng Bajin's question. She asked in panic: "Who is she and why did you bring her? "
"Her name is Qingqing, and she plans to come to live with us!" Zheng Bajin deliberately made the matter very relaxed.
"You, don't you want to harm this girl?" Hu Ying's body was trembling a little, and she had no idea or owner. "Send her back as soon as possible, otherwise, I will fight with you!"
"Mom, listen to me!" Zheng Bajin didn't know how to explain.
"Mom, I am a child without a mother. You will be my mother from now on. Don't drive me away!" Qingqing became anxious when she heard that Hu Ying was going to send her back.
Hu Ying was stunned.
This call of "Mom" is kind and sweet.
She even changed her title to be so smooth, which shows that she has become like Zheng Bajin...
Hu Ying didn't dare to think about it anymore. Zheng Bajin was not doing his job properly. He was either drinking or playing cards. It would be extremely difficult to find a wife in this life.
However, at this moment, he suddenly brought his daughter-in-law home, which frightened her into confusion.
It's not that happiness comes too suddenly, but I wonder what this kid has planned?
But don't do anything illegal!
"Mom, tell me first, what happened at home? Are you leaving the village so early?" Zheng Bajin said.
"Do you still know home?" Hu Ying took a breath and said, "Your grandma is missing!"
"What?" Zheng Bajin was shocked.
For his grandma, he felt not only guilty, but also guilty. A woman in her eighties has never enjoyed a single day of happiness in her life.
"Will you go to your uncle's house?" Zheng Bajin's first reaction was like this. Uncle Zheng's family's conditions are much better in Zhengjiashan. Coupled with the uncle's hard work, his life can basically be maintained.
I remember that in the past, he often secretly sent delicious food from home to grandma.
However, grandma was reluctant to eat it and gave it to Zheng Bajin and the two brothers.
Over time, the eldest aunt knew that she would inevitably get angry and would not let him deliver anything, let alone his plan to pick up grandma at home.
"We have been searching all night, and your uncle's family has also been searching. They have searched the entire village, as well as the mountains behind the village and the fields in front of it. There is no whereabouts of your grandma." Hu Ying cried anxiously.
"Where are my dad and eldest brother?"
"I don't know where the two of them died? They haven't been home for several days." Hu Ying was heartbroken. She glanced at Zheng Bajin and cursed in her heart that, like you, she never cared about the life and death of her family.
