Very tired.

When she heard that Pei An had married Song, she cried for several nights. Suohong only thought that she was heartbroken thinking of the deceased He Dalang, but no one knew that the news coming from thousands of miles away was so hard to control.

She felt like a monster, suffering life after life.

But I can't find a way out, and I'm trapped in different relationships in this life and the next...

Jin Fuyun finally cried for a while, and then calmed down again. She could only dress up again and go to Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Mei's room. They had also received the news and their faces were full of joy.

Xiao Yinxiu called Pei Hai to ask, and was stunned for a moment when he heard that the Third Young Master was also there, "Third Brother is back..., that's great."

Pei Hai added, "The fourth young master has brought people to follow Zheng Bao to search for him, and the master is also waiting for news."

Mrs. Mei held her chest and said, "Great, great, both children have received news, and I can finally put my mind at ease."

Pei An followed the horse over the mountains and came to a valley. Zheng Bao looked around and said, "This is the place. There are few people, only one family halfway up the mountain. We will take the fourth young master's wife there to stay the night. Fourth young master, look, this is the branch I broke when I fell down."

The path up the mountain was full of small paths, and Zheng Bao could recognize the newly broken branches at a glance.

Pei An discussed with the guard leaders of other houses, and they divided into three teams to encircle and attack. Pei An led one team up the mountain from the path Zheng Bao came from. Zheng Bao said that the family was "a wealthy family with three brothers and two sisters. Except for the eldest son who got married, no one else was known. The third son took off the remaining gold earrings on the young lady's left ear and asked for medicine and clothes. The owner of the family was very dedicated at first, but when the woman exchanged clothes with the young lady at the request of the third son, she saw that the young lady was beautiful and had some thoughts that she shouldn't have."

Fortunately, the houses in the village were not big. When Pei Che had his vegetarian meal in the evening, he saw that the family looked very uncomfortable, and he became extra cautious.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the old man and his three sons went to the bamboo forest outside the door and started planning in secret.

"We sent our second sister to Mr. Huang's house before, but he rejected her because she was not pretty. Now this girl looks absolutely beautiful, and she's hanging out with a bald monk. Maybe she's a woman who eloped and became a nun. Why not give her to Mr. Huang and get some gold and silver so that he can find a wife for Erlang and Sanlang?"

The eldest son was a little worried, "What if a prominent family holds us accountable?"

The old man said viciously, "How can we find it? As the saying goes, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without external wealth. Now we have a great opportunity. The official said that as long as we send a good one, three or five hundred yuan is not a problem. If we get it, we will go to Li County to seek refuge with your uncle. We have spare money in our hands, so what are we afraid of!"

The two younger sons' eyes lit up and they agreed. As hunters, they had finally found this unfenced hilltop and did some hunting. Thanks to the ability of the four of them, they had saved up enough money to buy three houses.

It was better than an ordinary farm family, but without any neighbors, it was difficult for the two sons to find wives.

If I had a lot of spare money, I would go to a matchmaker and buy two fertile girls. It would be better than being single forever.

The eldest brother was still a little hesitant. "Although the monk has one hand broken, he looks handsome. If he has some abilities, we may not be able to get him."

The second and third brothers spat.

"Brother is just a coward. The big monk is crippled, so why are you afraid? The little novice monk you brought with you is also lame. Two crippled and one weak, can they beat me and my third brother?"

What’s more, there are seven or eight people in the family.

Pei Che listened to everything in the dense bamboo forest before returning to the house.

Zheng Bao helped the unconscious Song Guanzhou take some medicine and looked at his cold-faced master, "Are they really a bad family? What should we do?"

Pei Che looked at the candlelight, pondered for a moment, and then whispered to Zheng Bao.

"I'll go by myself, but what about you, Master?" He glanced at Song Guanzhou, who was still running a high fever, and said, "If the Fourth Young Master's wife wakes up, we can run away together. Now--"

Pei Che has a fair complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is somewhat similar to Pei An. Now that he has converted to Buddhism, his former elegance is now even gentler. Even though he has lost half of his arm, his whole body is still very impressive and does not prevent him from being a handsome monk.

Finally, it was dawn. Pei Che winked at Zheng Bao. The two of them argued in low voices at first, but gradually lost their restraint.

The family outside pricked up their ears and finally heard the lame little monk say, "I call you Master outside, but in fact I am just a fellow apprentice. You coaxed Miss Zhang out and agreed to give me two hundred taels of silver, but until now, I haven't seen a single tael of silver. You even coaxed me to buy medicine on credit for this girl. How can I do that?"

The eyes of the old men outside lit up, it was just as they had guessed.

The old man lowered his voice and said, "Listen again, don't make any noise."

Hearing another vague voice, Pei Che pretended to be helpless, "Junior brother, Senior Brother promised you that you will never lack money, but now Miss Zhang is unconscious, I can't get it for a while."

"Can't get it? I'm afraid you don't have it. In that case, don't blame me for leaving on my own. At most, I'll kneel down in front of Master and beg for mercy. I'll still recite sutras and meditate on Buddha. It's better than working like a slave in front of you."

After saying that, he became angry and smashed bowls and pots and kicked a few broken chairs.

The masters pricked up their ears and heard Pei Che lower his voice and say, "Brother, don't make it public. Miss Zhang brought valuables with her, but she hid them. We have to coax her to wake up before we know where she is. Then I will promise you five hundred taels of silver."

Zheng Bao looked through the crack in the door and saw the figures of the masters hiding in the dark. He simply sneered, "I'm not that stupid. You've coaxed me time and time again. I'm lame but I'm not stupid. Now you stay here and take care of your Miss Zhang. I'm going back to Zhao County Temple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

When I left the room, I saw the old men with shameless faces, "Young Master, you are so angry——"

Zheng Bao looked disdainful, "You two just stay and watch over them. I don't have any silver to give you. I just ate half of your cakes in the past day. It's nothing!"

The old man saw that this little bald monk was not someone he could get along with.

Just as he was about to say something to persuade her, Zheng Bao suddenly grabbed his second daughter, strangled the little girl by the neck, and said viciously, "Send me down the mountain. You are all stingy people in the house. You are so stingy that you can't bear to give me rice, flour, meat and sausage. I am so hungry that my intestines are watering."

The masters had never expected this lame man to come so suddenly. Just as they were about to attack, they heard Pei Che come out and said in great sorrow, "Disciple, put down the female donor quickly. How are you any different from a thief?"

Zheng Bao smiled evilly and suddenly grabbed the girl's chest, causing the farm girl to be frightened and start crying.

"You, you, you, how do you want to stay?"

Zheng Bao spat, "I want to go down the mountain!"
