Chapter 20 A Little Unaccustomed

Ricket bandits are often called monkeys because of their short size and hunchback.

At this time, when he said these words, Meng Heyin and Mingrong both sweated and looked nervously at the hunched figure outside the door.

Who knew that the monkey didn't refute them at all, but turned around and slammed the whip on the cell next door, and the already crumbling cell door made a resounding sound.

"Snapped--"

A small piece of sawdust fell off the edge of the wood visible to the naked eye.

Xue Luozhou who was not far away there trembled in horror.

The monkey asked, "What did you call her just now?"

The monkey pointed in the direction of Meng Heyin, apparently not ignoring Xue Luozhou's cry when they first arrived.

Xue Luozhou locked himself up, hid in a corner, and shook his head.

"Pa--" Another whip went down.

"I call her 'Heyin'!" Xue Luozhou shouted, unwilling to bear such fear any longer.

Bandits with copper bell eyes are called "old cats".

The old cat also became serious, gave Meng Heyin a sharp look, and asked, "You know her, who is she?!"

Meng Heyin turned to look at Xue Luozhou nervously, and the vigilance in his eyes pierced Xue Luozhou's heart fiercely.

Then, as if giving up on himself, Xue Luozhou said: "She is the young lady of the Meng family in the city, and also my fiancée."

All the people present were shocked, and Mingrong looked at Meng Heyin with an expression of "you don't obey women's morals".

And Meng Heyin was dumbfounded, she never expected to meet that dude Xue here!

Hearing the word "fiancée", the old cat and the monkey both began to look disgusted. They looked at Meng Heyin angrily. Not only was this woman's identity suspicious, but she was also trying to deceive them.

"You are also the family member of that dog official!" the monkey scolded.

Meng Heyin was a little anxious, thinking about how to get his identity back.

The old cat also took a step forward angrily, and was about to reprimand Meng Heyin angrily, when Mingrong, who had been filling air against the wall, suddenly jumped up.

Mingrong almost pointed at Xue Luozhou's nose and cursed: "You bully, she is obviously my fiancee, when did she become yours!?"

Xue Luozhou was also shocked by Mingrong's words, and instantly aroused anger: "Meng Heyin and I have a marriage certificate to prove it, how about you!"

Mingrong was so angry that he dug into his bosom, which was naturally empty, so he kept digging out and looked back at Meng Heyin.

Meng Heyin comprehended, his eyebrows curled downward, and he said sadly in the direction of the old cat: "Although my family is rich, my life is hard. My biological mother died early, and my stepmother didn't like it. I have been poor and lonely for more than ten years, and finally in an accident I met Mr. Ming, although he is poor, but his character is precious. I never thought that the snobbish mother promised me to the son of the county magistrate. I would rather die than obey, and they set fire to burn me to death, woo... ...I thought I could escape with Ming Lang this time, but I didn't expect to meet him here again... woo woo..."

Meng Heyin's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, until finally she gradually lost her voice, leaving only the sound of her weeping in the cell.

The old cat became more and more angry, clenched his fists, and his eyes were red, "Snatch the women!"

The old cat suddenly took a step forward and was about to open Xue Luozhou's cell door.

"No!" Hou Zi hurriedly stood in front of him, persuading, "Old Cat, the boss said that this person is still useful."

The old cat looked fiercely at Xue Luozhou who was huddled together, and slammed the wall fiercely in anger: "Be patient! There are so many dog ​​officials in this world, how long will we have to bear it! If we bear it for a moment, another family will be victimized!"

The monkey hurriedly grabbed the old cat, and said along the hair: "I know your wife was robbed, and I feel aggrieved, but isn't it too soon, the boss..."

In the middle of the monkey's speech, he suddenly realized that there were outsiders here, stopped talking, and patted the old cat on the shoulder vigorously.

Seeing this, Meng Heyin breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at Xue Luozhou on the other side.

What a dude Xue, he hasn't avenged the last time he set her on fire, but this time he betrayed her in front of bandits and almost got into trouble.

The flustered feeling when he saw him at the very beginning must be the resentment generated by the original body when he saw the murderer who killed him.

Meng Heyin nodded inwardly, and promised: Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!
After the old cat calmed down, he turned to Meng Heyin and said kindly, "Then you two can think about the way out in the future?"

Both Meng Heyin and Mingrong's eyes lit up. Meng Heyin ran to the door of the cell in a few steps at a time. With wet tears on his face, he said to the two bandits full of longing.

"We have nowhere to go, I don't know... I wonder if you big brothers can take us in?"

The old cat and his companion looked at each other, and finally the old cat spoke first: "Monkey, what do you think?"

The monkey thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Not everyone here comes in, you two." The monkey carefully looked at Mingrong in the corner, and then quickly glanced at Meng Heyin, "You can, he... …too weak."

The old cat also agreed: "You can stay, but he can't. Why don't we kill him, and you find another husband in my village. There are so many good men in my village, all of them are worse than him."

Mingrong who was dismissed as too weak: Okay, very good.

Sensing Mingrong's cold gaze, Meng Heyin shuddered, and said sincerely, "He's not weak, he can..."

What will he do?

Meng Heyin realized that he didn't know either, so he turned his head and asked, "What will you do?"

Mingrong took a breath, touched a few grooves on the wall, and said, "I know the mechanism."

After the words fell, Mingrong's hand pressed against a certain wall, and several arrows popped out from the other wall in an instant.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" The five arrows neatly brushed against the faces of the old cat and the monkey, and shot into the wall behind them neatly.

The scene froze for a short time.

It was Meng Heyin who came to his senses, clapped his hands, and said to the old cat and the monkey: "Look, although he looks weak, he is very proficient in organs. Presumably the expensive land can take us in!"

The old cat and the monkey leaned together to the corner and muttered.

"This mechanism was set up by the head of the family himself, and no one except the head of the house knows how to do it."

"That's right. Back then, because of Mrs. Ji, the second head of the family was almost killed by this agency."

"If you want to say that, he is indeed a talent?"

"probably."

Meng Heyin crossed his chest and looked at Mingrong, raising his eyebrows.It means: can you do it?
Mingrong returned a contemptuous smile, and pointed to the two with his chin, meaning: You can see for yourself.

Over there, after the discussion between the old cat and the monkey, the attitude towards them was not as arrogant as before, but rather respectful: "Young master, we don't have the right to keep people, but we will report the truth to the masters. If they have spoken, the two of you can naturally join me in Luojiang Village."

Ming Rong nodded slightly, her figure was a little arrogant, "Yes."

Meng Heyin hurriedly bowed, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you two to support you."

The old cat hurriedly slipped away while saying "Don't dare to act, dare not act".

Meng Heyin watched them leave, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, then patted the clothes on his body, and sat down in the cell.

"I haven't acted like this for many years, and I'm not used to it."

Ming Rong glanced at her with disgust: "Why are you like this?"

Meng Heyin rested his elbows on his knees, and said angrily, "Then what should I be like?"

Ming Rong closed his mouth, silently remembering the woman he saw in the nameless teahouse that day.Even though she was dressed in plain clothes, she had clean eyebrows and an aura of grandeur lingering around her body, making people ignore her extremely rich beauty and only remember her clear and bright body.

But the person in front of him has neither beauty nor clarity.

Ming Rong didn't want to admit that he had made a mistake, but only said that a woman is a complicated creature.
