stand back, let me come

Chapter 1398: Causes and consequences (Part 1398) [Seeking monthly votes]

Shen Tang: "..."

Once again, he became deeply aware of Tan Ting's resentment towards Qi Shan.

She laughed awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "I thought Meng Yuan would say, 'I will remember it even if I turn into ashes.'"

Tan Ting gave Shen Tang a subtle eye roll.

He sneered and said, "If anyone is to be turned into ashes, it should be him."

Why do you keep saying prophecies that curse yourself for no reason?

What if it comes true one day?

Shen Tang: "...Uh, that's right, no internal friction..."

The people under her command would choose to consume others as long as they had the conditions, and never consume themselves. Tan Ting was not distracted by Shen Tang's words, and asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

"Forget that you haven't seen my 'Wuyou' form yet..." Although Shen Tang didn't trust Tan Ting as much as Qi Shan and the others, he also included him in his circle of protection. In this situation, there was no need to deliberately conceal his identity and tease him, so he showed his cards, pointed his thumb at himself, and revealed a bombshell in a slightly smug tone, "I am your master! Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

These words made Tan Ting's pupils tremble slightly.

Not only did his breathing become rapid, but even his voice was trembling: "Lord, Lord? Why did you come here?"

Shen Tang put one hand on his waist and corrected Tan Ting's focus: "This is not the point! The point is, Meng Yuan, do you remember how long you have been out of contact? The time you have been missing has long reached the standard for reporting to the authorities to be listed as a missing person. If it has been longer--"

She suddenly stopped talking.

He changed it to more popular words: "You are a beautiful female college student with a bright future and a bright life. You are going home to visit your family during the Spring Festival. On the way, you are knocked unconscious by a kidnapper and sent to the deep mountains and forests to be sold to an old widower in a deserted village to continue the family line! You will definitely not obey with your temper. In the future, they will hit you on the head with a stick, break your legs, and put a chain around your neck--"

The more Shen Tang spoke, the more angry he became.

The more I talked, the more I couldn't help imagining Tan Ting with a big belly, wearing thin and ragged clothes, looking haggard, being abused, tortured and beaten to the point of suffering from schizophrenia, tied to a shabby house in the cold winter, staring blankly at the snow falling outside, giving birth to a child every year.

Even if he is a Wenxin scholar, as long as the Dan Mansion is sealed, he can't escape even if he has great abilities! The foundation of a Wenxin scholar will also make his body extra durable and he won't die easily. Just thinking about that scene made her want to kill someone.

You have to know that Shen Tang has been fighting for so many years. No matter how fiercely she fought against the enemy or how deep the hatred between the two sides was, she would never destroy her defeated generals in this way.

These people here committed such a crime against Tan Ting, whom they had no grudge against, just for their own selfish desires. They really deserve to be cut into pieces!

"How can this be possible? As the master, I will take you back regardless of everything. Look, I have come here across thousands of mountains and rivers, overcoming all difficulties." Shen Tang said at the end, his words were vaguely self-satisfied, and seeing that Tan Ting was in a mess and exhausted, his joy was mixed with pity, "I am late."

Tan Ting interrupted Shen Tang’s imagination in time.

If she continued to talk, she might be seen as a weak and pitiful person. But the master was too blunt in his words, saying everything that should and shouldn't be said, which made Tan Ting's ears red. Fortunately, the candlelight in the stone room was not strong, and his hair was mostly loose and covered his temples, which stopped Er Gen from "betraying" him.

"My lord, I am fine."

The greatest physical pain during this period was just a few beatings and tortures. An ordinary woman could not bear these punishments, but he had the Danfu Wenxin to protect him - even if he was sealed by the enemy's words, his physical fitness was far better than that of ordinary people.

Thinking of the experience of being tortured and imprisoned, Tan Ting suddenly remembered that he had not bathed or washed for more than a month, and was imprisoned in such a cramped and smelly place. This appearance would not only be indecent but also offensive to the Lord. He was about to feel embarrassed when Shen Tang raised his hand and pinched the seal to crush the Danfu restriction. Almost at the moment when the restriction was released, the cold lower abdomen radiated heat from the inside out, and soon spread to the whole body, the stagnant Wen Qi in the meridians began to flow again, and the connection with Wen Xin was restored as before.

Tan Ting didn't expect Shen Tang to act so quickly.

It's too late to say anything.

He raised his eyelids and looked at the screen in the stone chamber.

He bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, my lord. I will go and sort things out first."

Tan Ting would not start bathing with Shen Tang across a screen, that would be too rude. As a special profession with appearance and demeanor anxiety, there are always people who are too idle to study some useless words, such as how to use words to maintain respectability - always be graceful and elegant.

So, Tan Ting stayed behind the screen for a few moments.

When she came out again, she was still dressed in the same outfit, but her clothes, which were as thick as dried pickled mustard greens, had become neat and tidy, her hair was combed back into a bun, and her exposed skin was fresh and white, and her whole spirit and energy were different. To put it bluntly, this appearance looked a bit fragrant.

Tan Ting did not forget to wave his sleeves and use a gust of wind to wrap up the filth scattered on the ground and throw it out of the stone room. The stench was finally suppressed.

Shen Tang said: "Meng Yuan solved an ancient mystery."

Military generals tend to wear smart attire, and prefer round robes with hems that just reach above the knees so that their movements are not affected. Civil officials, on the other hand, are different. The hems of their robes are either pressed against the backs of their shoes or slightly higher than the backs of their shoes. When they walk, the hems of their robes will follow their steps, revealing the undulations of mountains.

It looks good, but it gets dirty easily.

Especially when climbing up and down or walking on dirty roads, no matter how careful the scholars are, their clothes will be used as mops. The clothes are stained with dirt, which is not decent. Shen Tang occasionally has the urge to make them shorten their clothes.

It's not resistant to dirt and it's easy to trip, so why bother?

Tan Ting was puzzled: "An eternal mystery?"

“The mystery of how to have your cake and eat it too.”

Tan Ting: “…”

He knew that the master would occasionally say something confusing, and this way of speaking would increase the difficulty of communication between the two parties. If someone else spoke like this, Tan Ting would have been impatient long ago, but the person in front of him was the master, and he was the master who "crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and overcame all difficulties to come here", so Tan Ting could only accommodate her - the master spoke like this to everyone, why was it that there was no problem with communication with others, but it was a problem with communication with him? The problem could only be with himself.

All he had to do was remember what the two had said, and think about it slowly in the future. One day he would be able to overcome the "communication threshold."

"Meng Yuan, do you still remember who captured you?"

Shen Tang was determined to break all the other person's bones today to celebrate.

Tan Ting seemed to be in a dilemma and was unwilling to speak out, so Shen Tang could only ask another question. Tan Ting was a person that even Qi Yuanliang had a headache with. His own body structure was also special, and he was more alert to the outside world than ordinary people. How did he accidentally get brought to the mountains?

Besides--

Shen Tang said, "When I came here, I asked for information. Someone said that you were investigating a missing person case and that the missing person was very important to you. Have you found that person? Is he also imprisoned here?"

When he entered the mountain cave, Shen Tang was ready to tear it down. Saving one is saving, saving two is also saving, it's a simple thing to do. Not only can he vent his anger, but he can also make Meng Yuan owe him a favor, it's a sure win no matter how you look at it.

Tan Ting: “…”

Just when Shen Tang thought he would not answer, Tan Ting actually spoke: "She is a sister in the family. Although she and I are not from the same mother, we have a brother-sister relationship since we grew up together..."

Tan Ting's body was strange, and his servants looked upon him with ominous eyes.

Where there are many people, there are more intrigues, not to mention a place like the inner house. When there are few people in the family, brothers and sisters can work together and exert their strength outside. Once there are more people, the relationships are complicated, the interests are intertwined, and internal fighting is inevitable.

The women and children in the inner house had no ability to make a living. A small part of them lived on the dowry and land of their parents' families, and most of their expenses still had to rely on public accounts. The more favored the wives and concubines were, the more attention their children received. Otherwise, their lives were much more difficult. Even the aristocratic families could not guarantee that every child would be treated well.

There are always differences in length, order and importance among the five fingers on one hand.

Tan Ting because of his deformed body, she because of being a girl. Two people with similar plights can always get close to each other quickly. Tan Ting can't get close to other brothers and sisters, but it's different for her.

Before Tan Ting started practicing, the two poor girls in the inner house were in exactly the same situation, and they unknowingly developed a deep brother-sister relationship. Thanks to the blessing of one half of his body being gender-specific, Tan Ting was able to practice, and his world was much wider and freer than hers. When they reached the age of marriage, when Tan Ting was troubled by gender identity, the younger sister was also arranged to marry by her family.

When Tan Ting returned, he found out that she had been widowed twice and married three times.

Then you will know that she usually reports good news but not bad news.

Tan Ting prepared a small gift and went to visit the man, but the man's family refused in various ways, saying that she had contracted a strange disease that would be passed on to others, and went to the family's other village to recuperate. Even Tan Ting's request to see his niece was rejected. Tan Ting's intuition told him that something was wrong, because the last time they communicated, everything was fine - he only told this sister that he was going home, and no one else knew.

So he kept an eye on it and asked where the villa was so that he could chat with his sister over the courtyard wall.

The man's attitude was even weirder.

Tan Ting was anxious and secretly thought that something was wrong.

It is not uncommon for married women to disappear for various reasons. Ordinary people usually say that the daughter-in-law ran away with someone else, while wealthy families use illness as an excuse to not see guests. After a while, they will notify the natal family that the woman has died. Even if the natal family has doubts, they cannot open the coffin for an autopsy, right? If the two families are far apart, the natal family will come to the funeral and the coffin will have been buried.

Tan Ting suspected that there was something wrong with this "disease".

I asked around, but I haven't heard of any severe infectious diseases.

This family must be lying.

If he didn't find her, he would probably hear about her death soon, and it would be too late. With this in mind, Tan Ting naturally investigated the man's family first. The man's family only had some savings, but they were not enough to support scholars and warriors, so it was not difficult for him to sneak in and investigate without anyone noticing.

The search revealed several secret letters.

When Tan Ting saw this, his eyes almost burst into tears.

Her husband's family was really not human. On the surface, they looked like decent people. But in secret, they actually sold their wives for fame and fortune. Even her niece, who had just reached the age of marriage, was sent away. Tan Ting was so angry that he wanted to set fire and kill people, but he still had some reason. He set fire first to get some interest. As for revenge, he would save the people first.

I thought this was just a shameless man selling his wife for fame, but I never thought it would involve the branch of the Society of Gods. As a middle-level manager of the Central Branch, Tan Ting heard about this for the first time.

I never expected that I would stumble.

What is even more unexpected is——

He was running around outside trying to rescue his sister, but his sister had already kicked him into a deep pit. The warrior who was in charge of guarding him looked familiar to Tan Ting, who said: [If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Even fathers and sons can tear each other apart, let alone brothers and sisters... no, sisters. I didn't expect Meng Yuan to be half a girl...]

Tan Ting sneered: [Read more, talk less. ]

Otherwise you'll make a fool of yourself without realizing it.

His sister used Tan Ting as a bargaining chip to get herself out, or to say that the beads of the abacus started to click from the day Tan Ting wrote a letter saying that he would come back. Tan Ting was still resentful at first, until he heard something.

[Would you be so kind as to let her go? ]

Tan Ting didn't believe that these people would keep their word.

Shouldn't it be normal to go back on your word?

The warrior said: [Your sister is worthless.]

[No value? ]

In this place, women who cannot give birth are completely worthless, and Tan Ting's sister is not old enough to reach that age.

The warrior didn't know what he was thinking about, and looked a little frightened.

[She was a cruel person. Not only did she kill her daughter, she strangled her newborn to death, and even destroyed her uterus with her own hands...]

Tan Ting had already been whipped and almost couldn't breathe.

His eyes were about to burst: [What did you say? ]

The warrior said: [As you heard.]

Tan Ting was so angry that he was shaking all over. At that moment, most of his hatred for his sister disappeared. He wanted to blame her, but he couldn't. No matter how deformed his body was, he had one more way out than his sister. Since she got married at the age of 15, she had been a widow twice, married three times, and had two sons and three daughters. She had no choice at every step...

Now her husband's family is taking the initiative to betray her.

He claimed to be ill, but in fact he used her as a gift to please his superiors.

Using her body as a stepping stone is really hateful.

Seeing his reaction, the warrior couldn't help but marvel at it, and said earnestly: [Meng Yuan, you are also a clay Buddha crossing the river and can't protect yourself. No matter how pitiful your sister is, she is now free and free. You should take care of yourself first. Your appearance - hey, come on, why didn't I realize that you also have a stunning and peerless beauty before -]

He is not interested in men.

I also don't understand what's the benefit of taking the dry road to transport manure.

However, Tan Ting's body is amazing, it has both water and land functions.

The warrior rubbed his cheek out of curiosity, and was spat on by someone: [Get lost! If you dare to touch me, who will die first, me or you? ]

[Tsk, damn, she's beautiful even when she spits. So wild and exciting! ]

The warrior laughed cynically.

Although he said this, he was much more restrained in his actions.

Although the Tan Ting Dan Mansion has been sealed and no literati's words can be used, it does not mean that this guy does not have a trump card to die together. Warriors like colors, but they are not crazy people who will risk their lives for colors: [If you don't want to, then don't want to. Anyway, the higher-ups are also very interested in you. If you can't give birth, keep it for breeding. Hey, this is the first time I have seen a stud in all my years of work. ]

Tan Ting's eyes turned red with anger.

The warrior's eyes were still rolling downwards.

Concerned: [I'm just curious, can you do it? ]

If I don't watch Maoyan for a day, the total box office forecast for Zhaer will directly reach 85 billion. If this assignment is completed, Shi Guan estimates that only Zhaer himself can break it within ten years.

PS: I broke a lot of money yesterday. My 85-inch TV was destroyed by a spendthrift son who took a small flag (I bought the national flag on National Day last year, intending to use it as the one on the car. I bought too many and placed them at home. I don’t know how the decorative head fell off, exposing the metal screws inside). He hit the TV screen with a few strokes, and also destroyed the computer screen in my study (luckily, desktop computer screens are not expensive, but the TV in the living room is expensive. He spent tens of thousands of yuan on me at the beginning of the new year... Is this the god of poverty? I bought a new desktop monitor overnight, which cost a few hundred yuan. I will just make do with it.)
