Tongzhuang

Just when I was extremely anxious, he stepped behind me. At the same time, my arm trembled, and it became numb for an instant, and the rope left my hand.

My first thought was: he really came to add insult to injury...

This idea was only halfway through, and I fell backward because of the inertia of pulling the rope.Seeing that I was about to fall, one hand pulled me up. The strength of this pull was ingenious, and I stood firm without any effort.

I didn't care about anything else, so I hurried to see the ship.But seeing that the boat rope was still stretched straight, it was just that it was in Qi Feng's hands at some point.And he is pulling it with one hand!

"Quickly, fasten to the stake..." I said as I wanted to go up to help him, but I froze again.He swished up a few sections of the rope, quickly wound it around the stake, and fastened it neatly.It seemed that the boat was as light as a child's fake boat.

Oh my god, why is it so important to me, but it can be sent and received freely in his hands?Those who know kung fu are good!I'm so jealous.

The boat stopped, and I hurried up to help the old woman down. "Old man, how are you?"

"Ouch, I was scared to death..." The old woman rubbed her heart with her hands, frightened all the time.

"What's on the boat, it's so heavy!" My palms were bleeding from the rope.

"It's wine. There are twenty or thirty jars, all in the cabin... My daughter and son-in-law sell wine and asked me to watch them here. Just now, I went up to count, but the rope was loose! Fortunately, someone You!" The old woman smiled and opened the wrinkles all over her face, "Thank you, little brother, if it weren't for you and your friend, I don't know where my old bones would be! What a good boy..."

I was startled, Qi Feng is not my friend!However, it's not easy to refute in person, so I can only be vague: "Ah... yes... it's good that you are always fine... haha..."

I sneaked a glance at Qi Feng, he was patting the dust on his hands coldly.

The old lady settled down, and Qi Feng hadn't left yet, so I walked up slowly, feeling rather awkward. "Thank you..."

He ignored me, I thought my voice was low, so I repeated it again: "Master Qi, thank you..."

"Thank me for what?" He didn't lift his eyes.

"Thank you for pulling me just now..." Otherwise, with such a great inertia, my butt would have fallen into four pieces.You know I tried my best!

"If you don't pull you, you'll fall on me!" He patted his hands clean before raising his face angrily.

That's right.I paused, "Then... thank you for holding the boat steady, otherwise that old man..."

"What does she have to do with you? I want you to thank me for saving her?"

"..." My tongue was tied and I couldn't say a word.

He said with a gloomy face, "Who said you and I are friends?"

There was a shock in my heart, and I was really in trouble.At this time, the defense will only be like sophistry, and I dare not say that the old woman made a mistake. "This...haha...it's okay if you're a friend..." I laughed and said haha, hoping to call over.

Qi Feng frowned slightly and looked at me: "Why are you friends?"

His tone and demeanor are like a businessman talking about a business he is interested in but has not done, and he always asks about the advantages and disadvantages.I have seen this attitude many times in the market.

It's hard for me to answer now. "Friends...that is to make friends with each other, to communicate with each other...to care for each other...to help each other when there is trouble..." I don't know what to say for the rest.

"Make friends with each other, care about each other?" He repeated in a low voice, his brows seemed to frown even tighter.To be honest, his appearance has a kind of feminine beauty, and there is even a hint of feminine beauty when he frowns, which is enough to deceive some people who don't know the details.But once he lowered his gaze, it would be different immediately.The evil spirit came from the inside out.

He suddenly looked straight at me: "You want to make friends with me?"

I stay.I, I don't want to... It was just a misunderstanding just now... It was the old lady who misunderstood... But at this moment, under his sharp gaze, I just can't utter the word "no".

I panicked and said, "Master Qi..."

"You can call me Qi Feng!" He said coldly, "Why are you pretending to respect me since you refuse to enter Tongzhuang?"

When he said it, I was stunned for a while. "...Why do you keep asking me to go to Tongzhuang? I can only do some odd jobs. There are so many experts in your village, and no one is better than me."

"They?" The usual contempt appeared in his eyes again, "None of them are reliable. If they had tried those tricks again, they would be the same as the group of trash who came to ask for debts."

Mentioning those debtors brought up my unresolved question at this moment, "Those people who went with me...why...why did they disappear overnight?" That morning, Ji Liang and I were the only ones left. indivual.

Qi Feng glanced back at me impatiently, "Do you think they still have the face to wait until dawn? Tell you, there is a small side door in Tongzhuang, just for those 'thieves and thieves' to go home."

I am dumbfounded.He spoke with disdain and righteousness, and in his speech, he showed a strong contempt for those who failed to borrow money... But it is obvious that he is the one who did the despicable deeds!

I thought again. "Then, how about Miss Ji..."

"It's just Ji Liang here, I can't figure it out." He frowned again, thinking, "Unless...yes, unless Biyao Palace has...but that night, she didn't..."

"nothing?"

He came to his senses. "none of your business!"

Ruthless what?Hmph, I must have become angry from embarrassment.Miss Ji broke your trick, don't you agree?I thought to relieve my anger, and deliberately continued the topic about Ji Liang. "Miss Ji is a woman, do you also use beauty tricks on her?"

Qi Feng answered very simply: "Is it possible? Which one is pleasing to the eye in the village? Can you use it to deal with Ji Liang?"

I was the first to think of Tong Zhuang's bearded man, imagining him approaching Ji Liang with that dignified face...I immediately burst out laughing.

Qi Feng glanced at me coldly, I gave a dry cough and stopped laughing. "Then you...you never thought of going by yourself..."

"I'm going to seduce her myself!" His face immediately darkened, showing that his dignity was insulted, "What do you mean?"

I suddenly remembered that all the women he hired were from prostitutes, so I immediately shut up.I really don't mean to belittle him, in fact, even if he is a prostitute, I also don't mean to belittle him.I just want to say that with his appearance, it wouldn't be too outrageous to approach Miss Ji.

Well, however, for a woman as good as Miss Ji, no matter what kind of appearance she has, she will definitely not be able to fool her!

"Speaking of which," Qi Feng said again, "If you are in Tongzhuang, I will definitely entrust you with this errand, and Ji Liang may buy you."

"That's impossible, Miss Ji won't." I blurted out.

Strange, after talking for a while, I am not so afraid of him anymore.

He glanced at me with displeasure, but didn't contradict me.After a while, he said: "In the future, if you encounter something similar, you will come to Tongzhuang to deal with it for me."

What!His taking it for granted made me stunned, "...why?"

"You just said that we need to help each other when we are in trouble." He squinted at me.

"But...that's..." That's between friends!When did he and I... I looked at him in surprise: "We... are friends?"

"Yes!" His impatience deepened, "Why do you still ask? Haven't you already said that?"

When did he say that... I think back to the conversation just now, he didn't say he wants to make friends with me!why suddenly...

"Do you regret it?" He seemed to guess my thoughts and said coldly.

"Well, it's not...but..." I didn't agree, what do I regret?

"But what?" He looked like he couldn't bear my hesitation.

"But...if you do something bad, your friends will dissuade you..." Forget it, let's be friends!Who made me mention this first?Who told me to make mistakes before?But you want me to help you lie, how can that work?How can I help the evildoers? "That's what friends do."

"You mean, I did something bad?" He said in a bad tone.

"Yeah!" I want to tell the truth, "You are obviously not short of money, why do you need to cheat other people's debts? They didn't offend you, so why do you have to make things difficult for others? One day you will get into big trouble. Troublesome!" He was young and his family was in a good position, but he chose not to follow the right path and did some unkind things for the rich, which would eventually harm others and himself.

He was silent for a long time.Just when I thought he was thinking about it, he said bluntly: "I like it!"

I'm angry.Looking at his domineering appearance, I knew it would be easier said than done to persuade him to change his ways with a few words.However, he and I became...became friends!

We walked all the way back along the river bank.Being close, Qi Feng has a faint fragrance, which smells very good, just like what I smelled in Tongzhuang that night.This should be caused by frequent contact with spices.

It seems that he is dedicated to running Tongzhuang.He is a landlord, rich and capable, so what's wrong with him?Do you have to have trouble with others?

"What do you see me doing?" He said, and followed my gaze to look at his clothes.

"This...hehe...by the way, why do you always wear red?" I didn't see him wearing other colors.

"What about red?"

"It's not good..." I somehow came up with a sentence.Hey!In fact, it's not that red is not good-looking, it's just that red is usually worn by women. Even those high-ranking officials sometimes wear red, but it's dark red. He's an imposing man, and he wears red all day long, and it's still that bright vermilion. It's really... very strange. ... When I walked beside him, I felt that his clothes were so ostentatious that even I felt uncomfortable.

"It's up to you to take care of it." He really didn't buy it.

I also feel that I am talkative, what do I care about other people's preferences?But he still smiled and said: "Girls like to wear red, why do men wear such bright clothes?"

Speaking of girls, I suddenly thought of Rui Ge.I was always worried that Qi Feng would make trouble for Rui Ge, but now that it's all over, since Qi Feng is my friend, I can say it boldly.

"By the way, Miss Ruige is also my friend. If she offends you, please don't make it difficult for her."

Qi Feng's expression darkened at first, and after a while, he said: "I saw Rui Ge send a message, tell her to keep her mouth shut!"

I was not angry for Rui Ge, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Qi Feng agreed to me.

We parted ways at the fork in the road, and Qi Feng went out of the city.I go on alone.

I went through the market to buy fish, and I was about to return to Piaoxiang Building. I was shocked and suddenly remembered: the young master just advised me not to make friends with people of the highest rank two days ago. In a blink of an eye, Qi Feng and I...

This is how I talk to my brother!

My steps froze, and I hesitated to step out.

How should I explain to my brother...

Eh!Han Chun, why do you always do things without thinking...

Just as he was in a state of confusion, a crisp greeting sounded not far away: "Brother Han!"

I looked up, and Ruige was waving to me from the other side of the street with a joyful face.
