Chapter 28 Showing Loyalty
The spring rain has stopped and the apricot blossoms have exposed their branches.
After returning to the medicine village in a donkey cart, Nie Yannian first had the wolf's body moved to an unoccupied room, and then went to check on the black and white wolf. After seeing that he was fine, he felt relieved.
The medicine store has prepared hot water, and Nie Yannian and Meng Yuan soaked in the bathtubs, both of them making sounds of relief.
"I don't have any big aspirations in this life. If I have meat to eat every day and hot baths to soak in, I will be satisfied." Nie Yannian said with rare emotion.
Meng Yuan didn't say anything, just soaked in the bath with his eyes closed, and at the same time reviewed the battle with Lang Da.
Although he has a bow, arrow and sword, his method of dealing with the enemy is still too simple.
Although he was able to win this battle because he dared to fight tooth and nail, it was also because Lang Da was born a monster after all, and his brain was a bit slow and he didn't know how to retain his energy, so he was consumed to death.
But if the opponent is an enemy of the same grade, it's hard to say.
Moreover, before setting off, Master Nie said that two stone bows were enough. But Meng Yuan felt that Master Nie was overconfident. During this battle, he had shot Lang Da, but it did not cause any damage. However, if he had brought a five-stone bow, it would have had miraculous effects.
After taking a bath, I put on the clean clothes prepared by Zhuangtou.
His middle coat had holes and lots of blood stains on it. Meng Yuan couldn't bear to throw it away, so he wrapped it up and put it away, planning to go back to wash and mend it.
As for the tattered coat, just throw it away.
When Nie Yannian saw it, he didn't have anything nice to say, "It's all in such a state of ruin and yet you still treat it as a treasure. It's up to you to dig through it!"
"My family sewed the clothes for me stitch by stitch," Meng Yuan said.
After hearing this, Nie Yannian said nothing more.
After taking a bath, they felt even more hungry, so they hurried to eat.
The stewed mutton is crispy, without any smell, smooth and smooth, and paired with fresh wild leeks. It washes away the coldness after the spring rain, feels warm all over the body, and brings back all the strength.
"Master Nie," Meng Yuan ate the mutton, feeling satisfied physically and mentally, and curiously asked: "Where should I find the spiritual herbs and precious medicines?"
"Most of them are in the mountains. You will know later." Nie Yannian was obviously too lazy to say more.
After eating and just washing my hands, I heard the clatter of horse hooves outside.
I saw Ren Debiao coming with three people. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, very elegant, followed by two young people.
"Old Zhang!"
"Old Nie!"
This middle-aged man was very familiar with Nie Yannian. When the two met, they went directly to the room where Hei Mei and Bai Mei were detained without saying any polite words.
Bai Me's injuries were not bandaged, and he was already dying.
The middle-aged man picked up the baggage found in the tunnel and carefully looked at the scattered Buddhist beads and Bodhi bracelets, and then asked Nie Yannian what happened at this time.
Nie Yannian did not answer, but raised his chin towards Meng Yuan.
Meng Yuan knew that Nie Yannian was cultivating himself, so he told Nie Yannian about the stolen medicine and dogs from the medicine store, and then planned to capture Hei Baa and Bai Baa, and along this line, he took the lives of Lord Big Tail and Lang Da.
Of course, the most important thing is that the method of killing greed taught by Master Dawei, as well as the dying verses, are all spoken word for word.
"It's a demon monk!" The middle-aged man concluded without panicking. He looked at Nie Yannian and asked, "Master Dawei is a seventh-grade Buddhist demon. How capable is he?"
"It should be that the mirror has just been broken, and the six magical powers have not been fully understood yet. But the Vajra Seal is pretty good." Nie Yannian curled his lips and shook his head, "Actually, my knowledge and skills are all half-baked."
"You are still raising children, you shouldn't take the children there." The middle-aged man smiled, looked at Meng Yuan again, and asked, "Did you kill Lang Da alone?"
"Yes." Meng Yuan replied.
"How did you kill him? Tell me in detail." The middle-aged man said.
Meng Yuan did not hide anything, he told everything, even the final dangerous murder, he also told everything.
"Well done." The middle-aged man praised, patted Meng Yuan on the shoulder, and said, "You are brave and resourceful. When did you buy it? How long did it take?" Meng Yuan did not answer and looked at Nie Yannian.
Nie Yannian took a step forward and said with a proud smile: "I only learned martial arts a few years ago, and I entered the rank before the first month."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked Meng Yuan up and down again. The other two young people were also surprised.
"I said, Lao Nie, this is a good seedling!" The middle-aged man was very interested in Meng Yuan, "You have taught a good apprentice again!"
"Hey, the children are going to make their own way, I can't teach them!" Even though Nie Yannian said this, he couldn't stop feeling proud. He laughed and pressed Meng Yuan's neck, saying: "This is Zhang Guinian's hundred households. , call Uncle Zhang!”
"Uncle Zhang!" Meng Yuan said immediately.
"Good boy." Zhang Guinian nodded slightly and asked curiously: "Old Nie, I see that this kid speaks in an organized manner, has a lot of energy, and has good looks and qualifications. Is he prepared for your Qingqing family?"
When Nie Yannian heard this, he loosened his hand that was holding Meng Yuan's neck in disgust, and said angrily: "I have a little wife!"
"That's not right!" Zhang Guinian stroked his hands and said seriously: "Just let Qingqing be a child!"
Nie Yannian was furious and said: "Why don't you let your daughter become a child?"
Zhang Guinian spread his hands and said with a smile: "My daughter did not kill three husbands in a row."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Nie Yannian seemed to have been stabbed in a painful spot, his face was ashen and he said nothing.
Zhang Guinian became more and more proud and raised his chin towards Meng Yuan as if to encourage him.
Meng Yuan thought of the beautiful woman in Zuiyue Tower and couldn't help but take a peek at Master Nie. However, when he saw that Master Nie, who had just reminded him, was actually glaring at him, he quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
"Okay, let's pass this matter over to us. I won't delay you, old Nie, from becoming a rich man. Come to me in two days and record the case file!" Zhang Guinian greeted the two young people who came with him. The men moved Hei Baa and Bai Baa, together with the wolf's corpse, onto the carriage, covered them with black cloth, and then left.
"Let's go too." Nie Yannian was a little uninterested. He nodded to Ren Debiao and said: "Monsters are wild and love revenge. You stay here for a few days. Patrol at night and don't make any mistakes. Wait until you go back. I’ll give you credit!”
"Yes!" Ren Debiao glanced at Meng Yuan. Seeing that Nie Yannian did not mention Meng Yuan's name, it was clear that he was only allowed to stay.
Nie Yannian said no more and rode back to the city with Meng Yuan.
"Master Nie, Uncle Zhang was joking, I don't have any idea." Meng Yuan said he was innocent.
"I was damn young too. I wonder what people your age think about all day long?" Nie Yannian said angrily.
Seeing that he was being treated as a lowly person who only knew about women, Meng Yuan's expression did not change, and he pretended that he did not understand, and just said: "Master Nie, it is a credit to me and your old man that I was able to bring my family back this time." Are you in town?”
"Yes. Go back and talk to Mei. There is still a reward of three hundred taels of silver." Nie Yannian said.
When Meng Yuan saw Qian's eyes open, he immediately smiled and held his hands in his hands, saying: "It's all Master Nie's support!"
"But if you want to receive money, you have to be careful." Nie Yannian glanced at Meng Yuan.
"What do you say?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.
Nie Yannian smiled but said nothing.
Meng Yuan thought about it in his mind and asked in a low voice: "Do I have to show my loyalty?"
"You are such a fucking talent!" Nie Yannian couldn't help but smile and said, "You have to remember that now you only belong to the princess."
Meng Yuan understood, now he is weak and needs the protection of the princess. But if the realm rises in the future, the offensive and defensive momentum will be different.
But is the princess really capable? Meng Yuan cut off the master's balls and fought monsters, but he still didn't know much about the master.
"You will never finish learning from Master Nie in a lifetime!" Meng Yuan praised and asked in a low voice: "Master Nie, I saw that the princess lives in the southwest of Jingyuan, and the prince lives in the northeast. It seems that we have divided our homes. We, the princess, live in the southwest. Are you not getting along well with the prince? ”
"Just remember that you are the princess's wife, and don't ask about anything else!" Nie Yannian snorted twice, but said no more.
The spring rain has just stopped, and the ground is as moist as crisp. While riding on the horse, Meng Yuan kept asking questions when he had nothing to say, but Nie Yannian was cold and indifferent and reluctant to talk.
The two of them looked like a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law for the first time.
