Twenty-four: Zhuo Family Courtyard
The oil lamp light sways, projecting on the wall, jumping unsteadily.
Cheng Geng stood up from the chair and walked towards the inner room. Everything in the inner room had not changed. He placed the "Liuyun Flying Claws" he had made on the head of the bed. He happily picked up the flying claws and put them on his arm, shook them, and swayed. The flying claws ejected out, hit the wall, and emitted sparks, and then ejected back, sinking into his sleeves. He lay on the bed with satisfaction, made up his mind to let the two men go tomorrow, and then send Zhang Jingfang away, leave here, and after calming for a while, he came back to find a way to buy his ancestral home from An Ruyi.
"Help." Zhang Jingfang's voice came, and Cheng Geng jumped up from the bed and ran outside. He was secretly frightened, "Could it be that Yang Dezhong has not left?" When he kicked open the door, he found Zhang Jingfang standing on the stool, staring at the ground with fear on his face, "Help."
Cheng Geng looked carefully and then found that a cockroach was crawling on the ground.
After seeing Cheng Geng, Zhang Jingfang hurriedly said, "Cockroach, cockroach."
Cheng Geng was not angry and stepped forward and stepped on the cockroach to death.
Zhang Jingfang widened her eyes, jumped off the chair, hugged Cheng Geng's neck, and kept shouting, "I'm afraid of cockroaches the most. I'm so scared. I miss Qiu Ju so much."
Cheng Geng did not refuse and let her hold him.
Zhang Jingfang said sadly, "Qiuju doesn't know what's going on."
"With your elder brother here, she won't have anything to do." Cheng Geng comforted her.
"Is that true?" Zhang Jingfang pushed Cheng Geng away and said, "Will Qiu Ju really be fine?"
Cheng Geng nodded and said, "I have helped you deal with the cockroaches. You can rest. I will take you back to Anxi City tomorrow."
Zhang Jingfang grabbed Cheng Geng's hand and said, "Don't, I'm afraid. What should I do if I want cockroaches later?"
"You go to bed, it's okay if you fall asleep." Cheng Geng walked outside, but Zhang Jingfang grabbed his hand and refused to put it. "You, stay with me, I'm really afraid that no one has lived there before.
Cheng Geng said helplessly, "Okay, I'll sit on the chair, you go to bed."
Zhang Jingfang felt warm in her heart, nodded, walked towards the bed, lay on the bed, and looked at Cheng Geng with his head laterally.
Cheng Geng's eyes fell on the clothes in the cabinet, and he fell into memories.
A slight breathing sound came, and he found that Zhang Jingfang was asleep, so he got up and gently covered the door and walked towards the main house. But at this moment, the moonlight shone on the ground and a shadow appeared. He hurriedly hid under the eaves.
Fortunately, when he came out of the room, the lights turned off. He saw the shadow under the moon staggering on the roof, and walked a few steps above the master bedroom, threw off a rope, and then a figure crawled in along the rope.
This man was very majestic, and Cheng Geng didn't dare to breathe. He reached out and touched the "Liuyun Flying Claw" in his arm and relaxed a little. Slowly, when the man reached mid-air, he took the opportunity to pull Ji Ku, and the flying claws in his sleeve flew out, grabbing the black shadow.
The man was startled, and with force, he turned his whole body backwards, and he avoided the flying claws, then rolled and fell to the ground.
He touched Ji Kuo immediately, and arrows flew out from all directions, roaring at the man.
The man turned around and moved, and was very skilled. After surgingly avoiding the disaster, he kept gasping.
Cheng Geng clasped his arms and said angrily, "Who is the one who sneaked into my house in the middle of the night?"
The man looked at Cheng Geng and his eyes closed, "Why are you?"
Cheng Geng felt that the man spoke very well, so he hurriedly looked over and realized that the man was Luo Xiaohu.
"It's you?"
Luo Xiaohu rushed up, "Why are you here? This is my Uncle Zhuo's home, why has it become yours?"
Cheng Geng relaxed, "If you don't leave the main door, why are you going down from the roof? Do you know the people?
Scary, scary?"
"You think I'm willing. I came the day before yesterday, but I was forced back by the agency here. I thought it was Uncle Zhuo who deliberately tested me. After all, I felt it was all prepared and I touched it tonight." He saw the messy in the yard and asked hurriedly, "What happened? Where is my Uncle Zhuo? It's strange, why can't anyone see it when I come back this time?"
"If you come to find them, then there is no need." Cheng Geng looked at the stone table in the yard with sad face, remembering everything that happened on this round table in the short period of time, as well as the stone locks in the open space, as if everything was right in front of him.
"What does it mean? In the Baibao Pavilion, you have something to say, but if you don't say it, I really want to know what's wrong." Luo Xiaohu looked anxious.
Cheng Geng opened the door and said to Luo Xiaohu, "Come in and say."
Luo Xiaohu stepped into the house, looked at the portrait on the niche on the wall, bowed for a few times, and then stared at Cheng Geng, "Tell me now, what happened?"
Cheng Geng hesitated and sighed, "Sooner or later you need to know, or tell you." Cheng Geng sat on the chair and began to tell Luo Xiaohu all the things he had made.
Luo Xiaohu's face became solemn, sometimes with joy, sometimes with worry, and finally his eyes were filled with tears.
"I knew my father wouldn't hide from me." His eyes were red, "It would be fine, he could finally reunite with my mother."
"Your mother?"
Luo Xiaohu said, "My mother passed away in England three months ago. The two of them quarreled for a lifetime. Now there is something to continue quarreling."
Cheng Geng nodded, remembering Luo Xiaohu's expression when he talked about Arhat. Now he was relieved. The two talked to each other and fell asleep as they talked.
The next day, the sound of brakes came, and the two woke up from their dreams. Cheng Geng jumped up quickly, remembering Yang Dezhong, and wondering if it was that guy who came back again.
He took out a short gun from the inner room and walked towards the yard. As soon as he walked out, he heard a gunshot, the door was pushed open, and dozens of soldiers rushed in.
The soldier escorted the man behind him, who limped on one leg and was seriously injured.
After seeing the person coming clearly, Cheng Geng finally felt relieved.
Zhang Jingrui said to Cheng Geng, "Where is Fang'er?"
Cheng Geng pointed to the side room, and Zhang Jingrui hurriedly ran inside.
"Slow down, be careful." Cheng Geng stopped it in time. But Zhang Jingrui had already stepped on it, and then he touched Ji Kuo again, and three more iron spears flew out and came roaring.
Zhang Jingrui was so embarrassed that he flipped in the air and dodged the spear lightly. He took a few steps down his feet, his face turned pale, and he reached out to support his chest, obviously he was injured.
Cheng Geng then walked over, ran to the door quickly, put down the stakes, and then said to Zhang Jingrui, "It's OK."
"Help." A shrill scream rang out.
Zhang Jingrui hurriedly endured the pain and rushed in, kicked open the door, and then found that Zhang Jingfang was standing on the bed, and a cockroach appeared beside the bed.
When Zhang Jingfang saw Zhang Jingrui coming in, she felt wronged and didn't know where the courage came from. She jumped out of the bed, rushed into Zhang Jingrui's arms, reached out to put his arm around his neck and said, "Brother, you are here, scaring me to death, scaring me to death."
Zhang Jingrui snorted, and then Zhang Jingfang realized that something was wrong with Zhang Jingrui and hurriedly said with concern, "Brother, are you injured?"
Zhang Jingrui nodded, "Little injury, the weird guy was so powerful yesterday, he almost died at his hands."
Zhang Jingfang worried, "Is it serious?"
Zhang Jingrui smiled and said, "You will also care about people, don't worry, you can't die."
Zhang Jingfang felt relieved. He grabbed Zhang Jingrui's hand, "Brother, is Qiu Ju okay?"
"It's okay, I was a little scared, it's already done."
Zhang Jingfang felt relieved. When he looked at Cheng Geng, his face showed shyness. Zhang Jingrui saw it in his eyes
But he didn't go into it too much. He said to Cheng Geng, "Thank you for protecting your little sister."
Cheng Geng stopped him and said, "If I were you, now think about what to do? Do you know? Governor Yang has already led his troops to attack Anxi. He has convinced the governors around Anxi to divide Anxi. Are you not worried at all?"
Zhang Jingrui's face changed drastically, "Is this news reliable?"
Cheng Geng hurriedly said, "Come with me." He took Zhang Jingrui and Luo Xiaohu into the dungeon and opened the dungeon. A bad smell came.
After discovering the exit, the two big men who had been trapped in the dungeon for a night hurriedly crawled out of it.
When they saw Zhang Jingrui, the two men looked as if they were dead. After taking them out of the dungeon, the Hu Ben Guard stepped forward and raised them up, and walked towards the car outside with the injured man who had retreated.
Zhang Jingrui followed Yang Dezhong all the way. After discovering the car, he saw that the car was full of holes, so he hurriedly stopped it and grabbed the injured man.
The big man was also very smart. After recognizing Zhang Jingrui, he told him to know where Zhang Jingfang was. Zhang Jingrui was overjoyed, took a little treatment, and followed him with the big man.
Zhang Jingrui took Zhang Jingfang outside and said to Cheng Geng before leaving, "I'll go back and investigate. If everything is true, you will be kind to the Zhang family."
Cheng Geng smiled and said, "I don't understand the political situation, but I don't want the people to fall into war." This is the belief conveyed to him by Zhuo Bufei.
Zhang Jingrui was stunned, then bowed his hand, walked outside, jumped into the car, and headed towards Anxi.
Zhang Jingfang stretched out her head from the glass and looked at Cheng Geng with a very complicated expression.
After a long time, Cheng Geng came to his senses. He walked towards Luo Xiaohu and thought for a while, "Your father had a financial loan for you during his lifetime."
Luo Xiaohu was stunned and smiled, "Financial? These are no longer important. The wealth my stepfather left me will never be spent in his life, so let's forget it."
"Okay, I'll disperse it to the poor for you." Cheng Geng did not continue to entangle.
"Brother Cheng remembers that the elder bought the white jade bones?"
Cheng Geng said, "Remember, Brother Luo knows about this white jade bone."
Luo Xiaohu nodded, "Actually, the Great Elder did the work for my stepfather."
Cheng Geng was shocked and hurriedly said, "Who is your stepfather?"
"He is the Earl of England." Luo Xiaohu thought about it, thinking about what Cheng Geng told last night, "I want to ask Brother Cheng for help, I wonder if I can agree to me."
Cheng Geng became lost, "Forget it, I want to give you a gift, which is what your father left to you."
"I said, I don't care about his belongings, nor will I want them."
Cheng Geng smiled and said, "I haven't told you yet, how do you know you will not want it?"
Luo Xiaohu said leisurely, "I have remembered my father since I was a child. I have been away all year round and I have never seen any shadows. In order to make a living, my mother tried every means to wash clothes for the people of those big families, and then she barely survived. It was not until she met her stepfather that everything changed. Haha, what kind of money can he have." Luo Xiaohu was always worried about the past.
"White Jade Bone, I don't know if you want it."
"What? White Jade Strange Bone, do you mean you also have a White Jade Strange Bone?" Luo Xiaohu looked at Cheng Geng in disbelief.
Cheng Geng said, "Yes, let's just regard this as your father left it to you."
Luo Xiaohu was excited and reached out and grabbed Cheng Geng's shoulder. His big hands were very powerful. "Where is the white jade strange bone? Take me there, take me there quickly."
"Qin Feng Bank." Cheng Geng told Luo Xiaohu the truth without any warning.
Luo Xiaohu relaxed his hand holding Cheng Geng's shoulder, and his expression became very serious. He had the same persistence towards this white jade strange bone as Yang Geng, but Cheng Geng really couldn't figure out what secret the white jade strange bone had, which would allow Yang Geng and Luo Xiaohu's stepfather to get it at all costs?
