Chapter 16
“Father.”

“what happened?”

Xie Lingjiang hesitated.

Xie Xun was in front of the desk, laying the paper with his head down, and the towel behind his head hung down on the table, without lifting his head, he said:
“Help me grind ink.”

“it is good.”

Xie Xun took a small Langhao brush, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and began to dip the pen into the ink.This is a letter.

Xie Lingjiang, who was studying ink at the side, looked at the attentive father for a while, then turned to close the window, and it seemed to be raining outside.

“Don’t close the window.” Xie Xun paused, “Rain is a good thing.”

Xie Lingjiang stopped and said directly: “Father, Ouyang Lianghan is different from what I imagined.”

“What do you imagine.”

“I thought I was a fellow, and we had a good chat.”

“What about the reality?”

“Actually… it’s a bit weird, and it’s not quite the same as what you said before.”

“Oh?”

Xie Xun stopped writing, “Everyone changes, let alone experienced ups and downs at a young age.”

Xie Lingjiang hesitated for a while, and explained the “misunderstanding” at Sanhuiyuan this afternoon, and concluded:
“He also lied, although it was a good sale. But my daughter doesn’t like this kind of sophistication.”

At the end of the sentence, she frowned and turned her head, but found that her father was stopping writing and looking at her with great interest.

“I didn’t think it was appropriate before. How do two honest gentlemen live their lives? One eye, one eye, and one eyebrow? But now, after hearing what you said, I think it’s quite appropriate for a father.”

Xie Xun chuckled.

“What’s ‘living’, what’s ‘fitting’, what’s father talking about?”

“It’s nothing, I’ll talk to you when I come back later in the evening.”

Xie Xun put down his pen, put the letter by the window to dry the ink, turned around and took out a blue-gray paper umbrella:

“Let’s go, I’ll take you down the mountain to meet a ‘family friend’.”

“Secretary? Our sixth-generation noble family, in this small Longcheng County, and even Jiangzhou City, is there anyone who can be a family friend with our Xie family?”

Xie Xun nodded calmly: “If I hadn’t met this ‘family friend’, how could my father have erected a pagoda in this temple in this county?”

Xie Lingjiang was stunned.

……

“First of all, I didn’t mess with any of you.”

Ouyang Rong spoke the truth seriously.

“Secondly, I have not expressed my support for the marriage that my aunt forced. Even if my junior sister is obsessed with masculinity and eats my face, I agree, and tomorrow I will politely refuse. I want to go home and not delay others. Talented woman.

“Again, the child daughter-in-law that my aunt said was stabbing me with needles… seems to be Xiu Niang, and I didn’t mean anything malicious. In my impression, she did stab me. It doesn’t look like acupuncture to save people. Maybe I misunderstood me. I can only guess that she has some kind of disease, otherwise why would she murder her husband.”

“so……”

Ouyang Rong paused for a while in the cloud-rolling merit hall, and tried his best to coax the titled little wooden fish in front of him: “Can you return my merit?”

After a pause, he made a slight threat:
“You’re making random deductions, so you’re not afraid that the Buddha will revoke your business license? So give it back to me, or you can add another V[-], and let’s just pretend nothing happened, okay?”

Both soft and hard, after sincerely redressing his grievances, Ouyang Rong waited expectantly for a long time, but the merit tower was quiet, and the blue-gold font above the little wooden fish remained motionless:
[merit: ninety]

“Grass!”

Ouyang Rong threw his sleeves and left.

With a straight face, he left the black-hearted merit tower.

He is in a very bad mood now, and the collapse of adults is often in a flash.

This amount of merit has not even started to be earned, so much has been deducted, and I still don’t support the wrongful deduction of appeals… I can’t live through this day.

As the evening approached, Ouyang Rong went to Liu Ashan’s house again.

It was the original airtight and dark room again, where there was a standing, lying, and kneeling meeting, and it was the dull and oppressive atmosphere where he didn’t speak.

Ouyang Rong didn’t talk nonsense this time, and carefully looked at Liu Ashan’s condition. What made him a little relieved was that Liu Ashan’s tetanus wound infection should still be in the early stage. When he just had symptoms, interventional treatment at this time would be a little bit I hope, but it takes time to purify. During this period, it really depends on whether Liu Ashan’s life is hard or not.

Ouyang Rong was not sure either.

Boom-!
There was thunder outside, and the thunder and rain that had been suppressing the clouds for a day poured down like a waterfall.

Ouyang Rong couldn’t go out for a while, so he went to Xiangji Kitchen to get things, and was going to wait for the rain to subside.

Ah Shan’s old mother, Mrs. Liu, came and asked him to stay and have dinner with him. Ouyang Rong was not polite, he just refused and agreed.

The guest rooms provided by Donglin Temple for pilgrims are not bad, and Liu Ashan’s family lived in a quite spacious courtyard.

The place to eat is a half-open room facing the courtyard, a bit like the living room in the previous life without the floor-to-ceiling windows, where people kneel and live on the ground.

The rain line that slides down from the eaves forms a water curtain that isolates the outside from the inside.

Ouyang Rong was invited here by Mother Liu, and sat alone for a while, waiting for the meal.

As if to save money, the lights in the room were not lit, and he turned his head to look at the rain curtain outside and the dark mountain peaks in the distance in a daze.

In this era of material scarcity, the night is so boring. Once night falls, it is dark outside, and there are many insects and mosquitoes.

Speaking of which, Ouyang Rong found that he didn’t seem to be ‘sick of home’ at night like before, maybe he was a little used to it…

“Squeak” sounded.

Someone opened the door cautiously. Ouyang Rong turned around and saw the little girl named Ah Qing “squeeze” in from outside the door holding a dinner plate and a small lamp. Because she couldn’t move her hand, she could only use her slender shoulders to “squeeze” in. to push.

Ouyang Rong stepped forward and opened the door for her.

“Thank you sir.”

Ah Qing lowered her head and said something in a low voice, put the lamp on the small tea table, knelt on the floor mat, and skillfully placed the bowls, chopsticks and food in front of him one after another.

Ouyang Rong found that her jet-black hair was a little wet and stuck together, and he didn’t know if she had gone out just now and was drenched by the rain.

“Isn’t your mother coming to eat?”

Ah Qing buried her head in handing over the rice, shook her head slightly, and said nothing.

Ouyang Rong thought about it, and felt that Mother Liu should be taking care of Ah Shan for dinner, but he asked a stupid question.

After coughing, he took the rice and took a bite, only to find that Ah Qing was just sitting beside him without touching the bowl.

“Um, don’t you want to eat? Let’s eat some, too. You’re welcome.”

Ah Qing hesitated, and under the concerned gaze of the young county magistrate, she also went to scoop up some rice.

Because the room is very dark, the oil lamp on the small coffee table is very bright, and it can only barely illuminate the two people who are kneeling and eating.

At this moment, Ouyang Rong could see the girl in front of him clearly through the light.

Like his brother, she was also tattooed on her face. This is called ink punishment. It was a standard equipment for slaves in Dazhou. The ink characters that show the authority of the master are engraved on the face or body. Even after the ransom, it will never be washed away.

There is a small “Yue” character on Ah Qing’s forehead, but it doesn’t damage the beauty of her little face, but it makes her look even more pitiful.

She is very thin, and the cardamom age is actually not too young. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was the age to marry, but the nutrition of the girl could not keep up, and the body could not grow at all. Her thin arms and legs were like a few sugarcane sticks put together The same, and wearing a large coarse cloth skirt, it looks a bit dull.

But Ah Qing has a pair of big spiritual eyes. The pupils and the whites of the eyes are like the black and white pieces of Go, with clear distinctions.

But these dark eyes, ever since Ouyang Rong saw them for the first time, have been covered with a curtain of sadness.

“Your brother will be fine.”

Ah Qing seemed to be thinking about something sad, biting her chopsticks and staring blankly at the ground, Ouyang Rong couldn’t help but comfort her.

“Thank you, master.” She buried her face and repeated.

After Ouyang Rong finished his meal, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and began to think about how to explain his “treatment plan” to Ah Qing and Mother Liu. Some of the principles he took for granted were almost impossible for them to understand, so they could only follow him blindly.

Ouyang Rong was thinking about how to persuade Mother Liu and Ah Qing, but he didn’t pay attention to the girl beside him for a while.

After reacting, Ouyang Rong was surprised to find that Ah Qing did not send out the bowls and chopsticks, but moved them aside to make room for the two of them. Then she buried her head and stood in front of him with one hand Lifting up, pulling out the wooden hairpin from the hair, the wet but shiny black hair fell loose, and the other hand was not idle, and while Ouyang Rong was about to speak, he untied the slender belt and threw it on the She turned aside, shrunk her thin shoulders, and all the skirts slid off naked—it was indeed as slender as a white sugar cane after peeling off the skin, unable to hang the clothes.

“!!!”

Although his reaction was half a beat slow and his eyes widened, Ouyang Rong’s eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he quickly stuffed the lamp on the coffee table under the low table.

The light was hidden, the room was plunged into darkness, and the sound of the rain outside became louder.

The extremely low orange fire light “pressed” by the table board only illuminated a pair of bare ankles belonging to the girl, and someone’s slender palms leaning back to support the ground in fright.

“Ah Qing, what are you doing?” He lowered his voice in an unbelievable tone.

In the darkness, Ah Qing didn’t stop yet, she called out “Master” in a low voice, then went up to meet Ouyang Rong.

The latter was so frightened that he quickly jumped up and backed away. At the same time, he tore off his robe with his backhand and unfolded it, catching the jumping girl, and wrapping it tightly again, only revealing a stupid little head.

Ouyang Rong pressed his little head, took a deep breath, and then came over and asked, “Why are you taking off so well?”

He asked again: “Someone forced you?” The county magistrate Ruoguan began to feel angry.

“No one forced Ah Qing. The family is poor and has nothing to entertain the master.” Ah Qing shook her head dumbly, “My mother and elder brother asked me to come, and Ah Qing also volunteered…as long as the master can have fun.”

Ouyang Rong was silent.

Because I have been forcing Ah Qing and the members of Ah Qing’s family to…

It was him.

Chapter 16 The Unlucky Trio

Tang Youyou didn’t wait for Xiao Wu, but she waited for these three people to come.

The three of them knew that Tang Youyou came with Xiao Wu, so they saw the right moment and struck viciously and decisively.

There was no chance, so I created an opportunity for them. When the tea shop owner went to get something from the storage room at the back, he knocked Tang Youyou unconscious and kidnapped him.

Also because they were unprepared, they subconsciously thought that the three of them came in to drink tea to cool off.

I didn’t expect to be tricked like this.

“Throw it in! Let’s go!”

There were already three or four children locked in a cage in an underground secret room. They were not surprised when Tang Youyou was suddenly thrown in.

After all, the number of people here ranges from one to two to countless.

A half-year-old boy huddled in the corner saw the storage soul guide in Tang Youyou’s hand with sharp eyes.

This young man looks extremely handsome and exquisite, but he has unusually white hair.

Next to him was a sleepy little fat man, like a white steamed bun with dough, his head was getting cute little by little.

The young man tugged at the clothes of the fat man next to him.He woke him up, and then gave him a look, telling him to look at Tang Youyou.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

The fat white man looked at the young man with a questioning look on his face.

The young man suddenly remembered that the dean had brought him back to the academy not long after he had awakened his martial spirit. He must have never seen a soul guide before.

He sighed helplessly in his heart and then shook his head at Fatty Bai.

Fat Bai was also Ma Hongjun. He had just been kidnapped by Flanders and returned to Shrek Academy when he ran into this damn human trafficker.

The reason is… after the martial soul awakened, his body was increasingly affected by the martial soul’s defects, and this time it was more serious than before.

In order to prevent him from being violently killed by the evil fire, Flanders planned to take him to Soto City to set fire to him.

Just when Flanders went to find the place, Ma Hongjun was attracted by an uncle holding candy… The subsequent result was that Ma Hongjun was arrested and Oscar was implicated.

Oscar waited for his return with Ma Hongjun in Flanders’ shop in Soto City. Unexpectedly, Ma Hongjun, an idiot, was actually bewitched by a bunch of candies.

As a result, he quickly closed the shop and chased Ma Hongjun, and then both of them were arrested.

“Well……”

When Tang Youyou woke up, she found that the place was very dark.

“Where is this?”

Tang Youyou felt a pain in the back of her neck. It seemed that someone had knocked her unconscious and was also knocked unconscious by the power of the Mongolian sweat medicine.

What a double insurance, it seems these people are repeat offenders.

Although she didn’t know where this was, she was very aware of her current situation.

The troublesome thing is that Tang Hao is not around at this time.

But when Tang Hao left, someone found trouble. Could it be that he had to rely on Tang San to save him this time?

Tang Youyou was secretly glad that she didn’t break up with Tang San. According to the protagonist’s aura and luck bonus, he should be able to find his position, right?
She was not sure in her heart, but now she could only rely on the possibility of luck science.

“Little sister, you were caught by the traffickers. We are now in the dungeon where the traffickers keep people. There are children here. If you are included, we have 5 children in total.

Where were you captured from?Do you remember where you live?Does your family know your whereabouts before you were arrested? “The words were extremely logical. Tang Youyou followed the voice and looked over, and found that it was a boy who was one or two years older than herself, and he was very delicate.

Next to this young man was a fat man who stared at him intently.

“Hmm! I remember I was drinking tea in a tea shop, and three people suddenly walked in. I thought they were also here to drink tea, so I was unprepared, but they used sweat medicine to stun me and got me in.

My home is a bit far away from here, I’m not sure where this place is, but the last place I stayed was Notting City.

My family is not with me, but when I traveled, I was with another girl. He should tell me…brother, right? “

Tang Youyou had clear logic and told the child all the information before she was abducted.

From his questions just now, Tang Youyou can be sure that this child’s wisdom is extraordinary. Maybe if you explain this to him clearly, you will gain unexpected results…

She wasn’t sure, but she never hesitated to speak to smart people.

Notting City?And there are no other adults around this girl… relying on her brother?Let’s forget it, lest another person comes to deliver food.

Oscar was a little disappointed, but he also got some information from the girl’s words.

Noting City is a small city at the junction of the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

It seems that these human traffickers want to sneak into the Star Luo Empire and sell them, and every child here, except Ma Hongjun, is particularly exquisite and good-looking.

Especially the girl who was just arrested, she didn’t look like a civilian.

He and Ma Hongjun have been arrested for nearly five days, and have not yet been discovered by Dean Flanders. Especially Ma Hongjun, the past few days have been a double torture of both mental and physical torture.

The rising evil fire in his body could not be resolved, which caused Ma Hongjun to eat a lot. If he ate too much, he would be whipped by the traffickers.

“Hey, when will these days end! I miss my teacher! I haven’t eaten enough for two days, I’m so hungry.”

Ma Hongjun felt extremely uncomfortable. He had just managed to get a little sleepy and was able to dispel the hunger in his stomach. However, he didn’t expect to be woken up by Oscar’s bite again. Now he felt even hungrier.

Only then did Tang Youyou notice Ma Hongjun next to Oscar.

Looking at these children, they look like they are not much different from me in age.

“Here! Here you go, eat quickly and keep your voice down!”

Tang Youyou took out some snacks from her storage bracelet and gave them to Ma Hongjun.

However, she kept an eye on it and didn’t give everything to Ma Hongjun. After all, she didn’t know how many dangers there were in the road ahead.

“Thank you!”

When Ma Hongjun saw the food, he immediately started gobbling it up like a dog seeing meat and bones.

Oscar stared at Tang Youyou’s bracelet with a “Sure enough” look in his eyes.

Tang Youyou frowned. Sometimes being too smart doesn’t seem to be a good thing.

Although this storage soul guide bracelet requires the power of blood to open, it is also very eye-catching. Although everyone is now someone else’s chopping block, Tang Youyou doesn’t want to be in danger of being missed by others. .

“This is a storage soul guide bracelet, but it requires the power of blood to open, which means that only blood of the same bloodline can be used.”

Hearing Tang Youyou’s explanation, Oscar’s peach blossom eyes were full of smiles. This little girl was smarter than he thought.

After staying with Ma Hongjun for a long time, he would forget that there are actually smart people in this world.

Chapter 16 16. Red Ears
Move 73, Black chess, cut!

With Zhan Lang’s cutting move, the black chess piece in the corner came alive, and the battle in the upper left corner was temporarily over.

Liu Xiaoliang couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The pressure from the other party today was particularly great, which was completely different from the last time.

Last time, the opponent made a bunch of unreasonable moves at the start, and his posture of fighting from bottom to top fully demonstrated the gap between the two, but this time he acted out of character.

Judging from the performance in the two games, Zhan Lang can be said to have made great progress.

But this is simply impossible as it has been less than a week since the last time.

There is rarely any sudden enlightenment in Go. It is impossible to just take a good night’s sleep today and suddenly improve tomorrow.

Even if quantitative change leads to qualitative change, there must be sufficient quantity. Even at the critical point, it is impossible for the other party to suddenly make so much progress in just a few days.

Did you hide your weakness last time? But it doesn’t seem like it.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoliang went directly to the central chess piece to deal with the isolated piece in the center of the chessboard. Zhan Lang and Xiaofei were guarding the empty space with one hand. When Liu Xiaoliang pressed forward, Zhan Lang took a step back.

After the two sides walked a few steps, Liu Xiaoliang felt relieved.

With these moves, Liu Xiaoliang was no longer worried about the white piece in the center.

With his superb ability in dealing with orphans, he will definitely be able to survive this one.

In this case, you will have the advantage again!
Liu Xiaoliang looked at Zhan Lang who was sitting opposite him and once again gave a fake smile.

No matter if you performed well this time or made sudden progress, I am still better than you in the end!
I finally won this victory!

I am the winner!
It will only be me!
Move 78, White chess, nail in the lower left corner!

This move was like Liu Xiaoliang declaring his victory. In his opinion, as long as he could surround the empty space on the left, he would have won the game.

Looking at Liu Xiaoliang who seemed to be trying to persuade him to surrender, Zhan Lang scratched his hair and leaned over to look at the chessboard, then revealed an expression like a black question mark.

What the hell? Why did they suddenly persuade him to surrender?
Isn’t the situation still the same? Why is there such a sudden easing of the situation?
If it were me, I would definitely attack instead of defend, and defend when the black pieces try to escape. In this way, the situation might be transformed into an advantage for the white pieces.

This kid has a big problem judging the situation.

But since the opponent gave him the opportunity, Zhan Lang did not waste it at all and immediately moved to the center!

Looking at the approaching battle wave, Liu Xiaoliang could not help but frown. There was no way to pull it back directly at this time. Otherwise, the battle wave would be cut off directly, and he might not be able to survive in the middle of the area.

Liu Xiaoliang could only bear with it for now and give in.

But as soon as the other party felt wronged, Zhan Lang immediately felt happy.

After all, there will always be one side that is strong while the other side is weak, and it is difficult to maintain a consistent balance.

With these moves, Zhan Lang’s black chess pieces in the center were completely stabilized.

On the contrary, Liu Xiaoliang was not confident about his white chess pieces in the center and made two more moves.

At this time, the initiative once again returned to Zhan Lang’s hands, but even so, the current situation was not very favorable for Zhan Lang.

However, since we have the initiative now, we might as well be more ruthless!
You need to use different methods to treat different people. In the past, when dealing with those professional masters, I couldn’t go too far, because once I did, I would be punished even more severely by the other party.

But Zhan Lang was sure that given Liu Xiaoliang’s level, he could definitely go a little too far!
Even more excessive!
Move 89, Black chess piece, breaks in!
As Zhan Lang’s black piece fell, a black piece suddenly stood out among the vast expanse of white chess pieces!
It’s just like Zhao Zilong, the white horse and silver spear, going in and out of the dark camp of Cao Cao seven times, but this time it’s not Zhao Yun, it’s Heizi! It’s ikun!

When Liu Xiaoliang saw Zhan Lang forcefully attacking him from the air, he couldn’t help but frown. This was his first reaction.

Can this survive?
After all, even if you have the ability to treat solitary confinement, it is very difficult to survive in this narrow area of ​​the three lines.

But since the enemy has already broken in, Liu Xiaoliang has no other choice. After all, the enemy can get out alive here.

That would not be Zhao Zilong’s seven ins and seven outs, but Cao Aman’s cutting off beard and abandoning robe. So Liu Xiaoliang also had no choice but to block directly and fight with Zhan Lang here!

In any case, the situation is a situation where the powerful opponent faces a black piece, and the advantage is on my side!

Move 91, Black pieces, dismantle!

Faced with this move, Liu Xiaoliang could only make a sharp move to communicate, after all, the four white pieces in the corner were too tight.

Zhan Lang then immediately flew down again.

Seeing Zhan Lang about to open his sword as soon as he came in, Liu Xiaoliang suddenly felt a sense of tension in his heart.

After all, if he continued like this, Zhan Lang would really be alive in the white sky.

In this situation, Liu Xiaoliang didn’t even think twice and just forced his way inside to break the eye.

There is no way to survive!
If you can survive in such a narrow space, then there is no need for me to get off.

Faced with Liu Xiaoliang’s attempt to break the eye, Zhan Lang was not in a hurry and continued to fly downwards.

It feels like returning home in the space left by the white chess pieces.

No, it feels much better than at home. It’s so boring at home, and there are no ikun friends to play with. But when I get in, everyone in there is a talented person and speaks nicely. I love being in there.

But Liu Xiaoliang has no good solution at this stage, and the following process is almost inevitable.

Block, break, and press!
Zhan Lang realized that his current situation was not very good. After all, the space inside was too narrow and too tight.

Such a tight space is not particularly friendly to a novice like me who is good at fighting solitary enemies. If I am not careful, I will be disarmed very quickly.

Zhan Lang even keenly realized that Liu Xiaoliang still had a trick that could win the game in one fell swoop.

However, even in this situation, Zhan Lang was not in a hurry. Instead, he continued to make moves with a confident expression.

I can see it, but you may not be able to see it!

So I don’t need to be anxious. Instead, I should put more pressure on you and make you think you can’t do it.

Victory or defeat is not only decided on the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard.

Move 101, Black, press!

After taking this step, Zhan Lang smiled at Liu Xiaoliang provocatively, as if he was confident of his success.

Liu Xiaoliang couldn’t help but get anxious when looking at Zhan Lang’s expression. If he really survived in there, he would be doomed.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoliang suddenly became anxious. After biting his lip, he immediately made his move.

It’s right to be anxious.

This one will be your first defeat!
After Liu Xiaoliang finished pushing, he gave Zhan Lang another chance. Zhan Lang immediately took the initiative to eat. After Liu Xiaoliang stuck to him, Zhan Lang flew directly back to the center.

Move 107, Black, Xiaofei!

Zombie flow!
Counterattack!

When Liu Xiaoliang saw the white piece that was being sucked in, he suddenly felt his ears burning.

Is this another comeback? Another tragedy?

PS: Yesterday’s new meme is General 00. Today’s gossip is that the bully has caught a cold and is in critical condition. There is nothing that can be done to save him…
