Brother Wanfu

Chapter 2 Remember Your Words

"I'm afraid I can't hear you clearly behind the mountain rock, you two might as well come to the front of the mountain."

These words filled his ears like a devil's voice, and countless thoughts popped up in Qin Tian's mind in an instant, and finally they all merged into one thought.

He found her, she won't be killed, right? !

As soon as the man's voice fell, the guards who had just buried the man flashed in front of Qin Tian's eyes, and when they saw the two of them, they swished out their swords from their waists.

Qin Tian had never seen so many swords in his life, and his face turned pale.

The boy was trembling all over, but he still took a step forward with trembling legs.

"Auntie, young lady, I will protect you!"

Qin Tian: "."

If the other party wants to kill people to silence them, the two of them, master and servant, will probably go to hell together.
Where dared to make other moves, Qin Tian secretly walked out from behind the rocks trembling.

Bypassing the huge rock, the mountain wind rushed over immediately, and beat Qin Tian's body, making her trembling and unsteady feet even more unstable.

But extending his head was also a knife, and retracting his head was also a knife. Qin Tian could only take two steps forward and completely bypassed the rock.

Her vision suddenly widened, and she also suddenly saw the man standing in front of a tall and tall cypress with his hands behind his back.

The man is tall and straight, and he is neatly outlined in a black brocade robe with dark patterns. He wears dark leather boots. He is completely unpretentious, except for a piece of translucent white hair falling from the dark golden belt around his waist. Jade Jue.

The word "Jue" is connected with "jue". Wearing this jade means killing and decisive.

Qin Tian looked at Na Jue and swallowed dryly.

There seemed to be a cold air all over the man, and the wind rushed toward his face.

Qin Tian subconsciously wanted to raise his head to look at his face, but he suddenly came to his senses.

She abruptly stopped the movement of raising her head, and said in a trembling voice with her neck stiff.

"Young master, I was just passing by and didn't hear or see anything!"

Even if he was murdered, Qin Tian would always fight for himself.

When the words fell to the ground, she felt the man's eyes slowly fall over.

That frosty gaze made the entire mountainside fall silent.

The wind blowing the forest leaves made a rustling sound, the sound was still so pleasant two quarters of an hour ago, but now Qin Tian listened to it, only felt "kill kill - kill".
The silence continued, and the waiting time for a response was extremely slow.

Qin Tian was like a person being held under a guillotine. The guillotine hanging around his neck couldn't help her in the slightest, but it decided whether or not to take her life.

Layer after layer of cold sweat broke out, Qin Tian was so nervous and scared that he almost forgot to breathe.

She even felt that such silent waiting was more frightening than the man's order to silence her.

Just when Qin Tian couldn't hold on any longer, and the servant beside him was also on the verge of collapse, the man under Gu Bai suddenly withdrew his gaze, turned and walked away.

Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, his words drifted over with the wind, and fell firmly into Qin Tian's ears.

"Remember your words."

For a moment, Qin Tian didn't come back to his senses.

It's just that when she came back to her senses and wanted to express her thanks in a hurry, the surroundings were empty, where was there anyone else? !

If it wasn't for the boy at the side, holding a tree for breath as if drowning, Qin Tian would have thought that everything just now was just like storytelling in a teahouse, just a momentary fantasy that people have.

But everything just now was true, on the tree that the boy was hugging, there were still a few blood-stained leaves.

The boy saw it too, and withdrew his hand in horror.

Another gust of clammy wind blew up in the mountains, Qin Tian hugged his arm silently, without saying a word, immediately signaled the boy to leave the place quickly.

The shepherd's purse returned home before the basket was full.

Qin Tian hugged her arms and didn't speak during the whole journey, and let two little maids rub her left and right for a long time. After she got warm, she breathed out a breath of fear.

Today is considered to be a life-saving return, right?
She didn't know who that person was, and she didn't want to know, she just wanted not to have any dealings with this person in the future, that's all.

The old steward even had someone guard the door, and if there was any movement from afar, he would come from the outer courtyard to greet him.

"The girl came back early, so very good, very good."

Qin Tian smiled wryly after hearing this, and said "It's muddy everywhere, so it's inconvenient to stay", so he helped the maid out of the car.

She naturally wouldn't talk too much, the old steward didn't know what was going on, and he murmured a few words like "Master is doing it for the sake of the girl, so he should go out less in the future", Qin Tian still had some lingering fears, and only listened to his left ear. ear out.

I don't want her to be in a trance, and something flashed by in the corner of her eye.

Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, then immediately stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked around the corner at the end of the street.

She turned around suddenly, and Qin Zhou and others also looked over vigilantly.

"What did the girl see?"

As far as Qin Tian could see, he didn't see anything strange, let alone any shadows, only a bird landed on the jujube tree at the corner of the street, and flew away with flapping wings.

She pinched the center of her eyebrows and regained her senses.

"It's nothing, it's just my eyesight."

I was really scared today, and I was overly vigilant without realizing it.

Qin Tian shook his head and returned to his courtyard without thinking about it.

The old steward also ordered the coachman to unload the horse, and led the people back to the courtyard, and asked the porter to carefully close the door and lock it.

From time to time, there was silence outside the gate of the small courtyard.

It's just that at the corner of the street not far away, someone slowly turned out from the shadow behind the wall, stood quietly under the jujube tree, looked towards the back door of Shen's house for a while, narrowed his eyes, turned and left.

Qin Tian experienced what the storytellers and storybooks only encountered. Not only was he not excited, but he was so scared to death that he cooked Dongpo soup with fresh wild shepherd's purse and sent it to Uncle Zhou, and it was hot on the stove. Qin Tian didn't taste the delicious wild chestnut spring pancakes either.

Not only that, but that night, she also had a scary dream.

In the dream, she was trapped in a tall and spacious hall. She didn't know where it was, and she stumbled to find a door to escape.

But just when she managed to find and open the door, and was about to run towards the door to run out, the door suddenly creaked and was pushed open from the outside.

Qin Tian took two steps back in shock.

A tall man walked in with the light behind his back.

Qin Tian couldn't see his appearance under the backlight, but he saw the transparent white jade ring hanging on his waist.

Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, then stopped in his tracks.

The long shadow cast by the man surrounded her, and he spoke, his cold voice remained the same.

"You broke my business, do you really think I can let you go?"

When the voice fell to the ground, he raised his eyes and looked at her.
Qin Tian woke up suddenly.

At that time, the sky outside was not yet bright, and the prefect and the commander made the rain that honesty had asked for begin to fall again.

Qin Tian didn't dare to go back to sleep for a while, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while.

She clasped her hands together and made a wish to the Bodhisattva.

"Faith girl, Qin Tian, ​​is willing to eat fast and worship Buddha for one month. I beg the Bodhisattva to never let a believer girl meet that Rakshasa again. No, no, that young master."

She didn't even dare to use disrespectful words to that person in her own home.
She didn't deny that she was really timid, so small that she just wanted to live a peaceful life.

*
After a few days like this, Qin Tian didn't go out, and naturally he didn't meet anyone again. The days were no different than usual, but several spring rains fell one after another, and the farmers had hope, and they all got busy again.

In the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and once natural disasters occur, there will be no shortage of man-made disasters.

In addition to the disturbance from time to time by Japanese pirates and bandits at sea, there are also rogues and thieves running around. other.

There is no one in the DPRK and China who can shoulder the heavy burden, and each region can only support itself in its own way.

The Qingzhou Prefecture where Qin Tian lives is considered reliable. The magistrate loves the people like a son, and the commander who holds military power suppresses the bandits internally and resists the pirates externally.

The common people all admire the two adults. Local storytellers often praise the two in the streets and alleys, especially the Commander, who is not only wise and brave, but also has a good command of the army. Very loving, no one else.

In the current fashion, no man with some power, status and money can escape having three wives and four concubines, but this is not the case at all with Commander Qin.

Qin Tian had heard a lot about Qin Commander's deeds, and even thought that his surname was also Qin, maybe it had something to do with it.

However, the local Qin surname is a common surname, and I am a small citizen, how can I not be able to be a relative with a third-rank official?

She didn't go out these few days, nor did she go to the teahouse to listen to books, and she was isolated from the outside world for a while, but on this day, she met her father.

Her father is a peddler, according to what he said, he sells all kinds of goods, travels from south to north, and is full of chores, so he doesn't even go home.

Ever since Qin Tian could remember, his father was often away from home, usually coming back once a month or two, staying for one night and then leaving in a hurry.

Qin Tian didn't know many people, but it seemed that it wasn't so true from what was said in the scripture book. Although he was often away from home, he would have to stay at least a month and a half when he returned home.

When she was young, she still took the script book and asked her father seriously why he didn't spend more time with her at home like in the script.

Daddy was silent for a while, stretched out his hand to touch her head, and told her softly.

"The story book can't write all the human feelings and world affairs, so let's just read it, my son."

At that time, Qin Tian felt that what her father said was reasonable, but when she was a lot older, she knew that the scriptures could not fully describe human relationships and world affairs, but she also knew that a businessman like his father who only came home occasionally was not like a businessman.

But she didn't ask like she did when she was a child, she knew that her father would not tell her.

It would be great if he could come here once in a while, see her, have a meal with her and talk to her.

When her father came back that day, Qin Tian took out the last few wild shepherd's purse that he had carefully stored, picked three heavy-handed chickens, cooked for his father, and brought the fragrant wild shepherd's purse to the table. .

The old steward, Uncle Zhou, would definitely tell her father about her going out, and since this matter is over, father will not say anything more.She didn't have to hide it.

Just like this time, Dad took a chopsticks of scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse and put it into his mouth, took a couple of mouthfuls seriously, picked up the wine cup and took a sip, then he relaxed his frowning brows, and stroked his long beard under his mouth , let out a sigh of relief.

"My son's skills are getting better and better," but he said, he also glanced at Qin Tian, ​​slightly annoyed, "it's just that he has become more courageous, and doesn't take Daddy seriously."

Qin Tian lowered his head and giggled, and filled a bowl full of porridge with jujube kernels and goji berries for his father.

She often makes this porridge, which can relieve fatigue for those who are often on the go.

She brought up the porridge and water.

"My daughter only went out that once, and she never went out after that."

Her father definitely took a look at her, took the bowl of herbal porridge, and then shook his head and sighed, "It's pretty cute."

Qin Tian laughed again when he got the approval.

The father and daughter don't have any superfluous rules. They chat a few words while eating, and eat a meal slowly.

As in the past, the father and daughter would talk in the living room for a while, and they would not rest until it was late.

The dining table was removed here, Qin Tian got up and was about to call the servant girl to bring some refreshments when he saw his father wave his hand.

"I won't stay any longer today, Dad has something to leave first."

Qin Tian is not surprised, father sometimes does this.

"When will Daddy come home again?" she asked.

The old man glanced at her, "Maybe I will come again in half a year this time."

When Qin Tian heard this, he was surprised for a moment.

Father hadn't been home for so long.

But the old man just sighed and didn't explain.

"You should go out less and stay at home more. When you are bored, let someone go to the street to buy you a New Chinese book to read. Be obedient."

Qin Tian didn't say anything, just looked at his father and nodded slowly.

His father also took one last look at his daughter, then turned and left with a secret sigh.

*
Qin Tian's father left the small courtyard, turned around twice, and entered another courtyard. When he came out of that courtyard, he had completely changed his attire.

The rich robe worn by the merchant was gone. He was wearing a black military uniform, tied up his cloak, and got on his horse.

The chief guard of the city gate saw him galloping from a distance, hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened wide, and then led all the officers and soldiers to bow their heads in salute, and he returned to his original appearance only after all the people and horses left.

A new recruit who had just been on duty didn't understand, so he asked next to the head of the guard.

"Which adult was the one who just passed by?"

He thought, the one who can make everyone salute and evade like this must be Qianhu who is the fifth rank in the guard.

Unexpectedly, the chief guard laughed and snorted, and looked at the smoke and dust under the horse's hooves that was about to dissipate outside the city.

"That person is not just anyone, he is the only senior official of the Qingzhou Guard, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard, Qin Guanzhong, Lord Qin."
