Chapter 229

"What's the difference between him and bastard?" Meng Fuling pretended to be puzzled and asked back.

Little Winter Melon laughed and shook his head violently, "There is no difference, there is no difference, no matter how you say he is a bastard."

Wang Laoba didn't know who the corpse he salvaged belonged to. Now that Meng Fuling said it was her elder brother, he believed it.

His eyeballs rolled around in a circle, not only did his guilt fade away, but he also smiled wickedly.

Little Winter Melon cut off Meng Fuling's palm, and said in a low voice, "Mother, look, he must be playing something wrong."

Even if Xiaodonggua didn't say anything, Meng Fuling could see that Wang Laoba had bad intentions.

Sure enough, before anyone else could speak, Wang Laoba said loudly: "I did find your elder brother's body. Because I don't know his origin, I can't throw him back into the sea. Fortunately, I am kind-hearted, so I brought him back to the sea. On the shore, I found a treasured geomantic place and buried—"

Pooh!Still kind-hearted and geomantic?The old and weak women and children present all despised him after hearing this.

The woman who spoke before couldn't help interrupting Wang Laoba, "I said Wang Laoba, you still have to be shameless? Who doesn't know that you are greedy for other people's relics, and you will not let you go even if you are afraid of being a ghost. Just dug a hole and buried the family."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, someone immediately interjected: "It's too shameless to act like a good boy when you get a cheap price!"

Both of them spoke sourly, didn't they?Who wouldn't be jealous that Wang Laoba got the property from the corpse?

You must know that Wang Laoba is a well-known lazy man and rascal in a small fishing village. The phrase "three days of fishing and two days of drying the net" refers to him.

Ever since he caught the corpse and got the valuables, he didn't even fish at all, and just idled around all day long.

"Tch! It's you who are shameless!" Wang Laoba forgot that he had asked them for help just now, and now, turning his face is faster than turning a book.

His attitude immediately aroused public outrage, but he didn't care at all. He salivated with a smile on his face and said to Meng Fuling: "Sister, if it weren't for me, your elder brother's body would definitely have to be fed to fish. Seeing how kind and hard I am For the sake of this, you have to give me a little reward, right?"

"You are so old and not ashamed, you dare to call me mother and sister, you are really impatient!" Xiao Donggua was angry, he didn't want to hear someone offend Meng Fuling with words.

The same goes for all the guards, the guard who was holding Wang Laoba deliberately increased his hand strength.

"Oh! It hurts, it hurts, let it go, you, how can you treat your benefactor like this? It's so unreasonable!" Wang Laoba yelled in pain, brazenly calling himself a benefactor.

Meng Fuling's eyes were cold, she hadn't seen such a superb product for a long time, she simply didn't know how to live or die.

The old woman was more soft-hearted, and she also thought that they were all from the village, so she came out to be a peacemaker, "Girl, Wang Laoba is not a clean mouth, but he is not a bad person. For the sake of burying your elder brother, don't bother with him." gone."

"Grandma, I'm grateful for him burying my elder brother, but—" Meng Fuling paused, her expression darkened.

She noticed that when she said that she was grateful, Wang Lao looked excited and greedy.

Wang Laoba didn't know how to read people's faces. Seeing that Meng Fuling hadn't written anything for a long time, he couldn't help urging, "But what? Do you want to thank me!"

"Answer your head!" Xiaodonggua grabbed a handful of sand from the ground angrily, and threw it on Wang Laoba's face.

The sand got into Wang Laoba's eyes, and he howled in pain again, his body twisted non-stop, but he couldn't break free from the restraints of the guards.

Meng Fuling ignored Wang Laoba's cursing, and continued: "However, Wang Laoba took away the belongings from my elder brother's body, and the rest can be used as a thank you, except for my family's heirlooms!"

"Wang Laoba even took other people's family heirlooms, how wicked!"

"Wang Laoba, you must be kind, return the heirloom to others!"

"That's right, you've already taken a valuable treasure, you should be content! Don't steal other people's family heirlooms."

"…………"

These people condemned Wang Laoba one by one. They usually lack entertainment, but now there is excitement to watch, and they all seem very interested.

"What heirloom? I haven't seen it!" Wang Laoba's arrogance gradually weakened, and his confidence was also slightly lacking.

Several guards came to him yesterday, wanting to buy half of the gold medal in his hand, and he was very tempted by the silver.

However, Wang Laoba took the gold medal long ago, and now he feels that he has lost money.

He thought that those people were looking for it eagerly, that thing must be very valuable, and regretted that he had bought it early.But he didn't dare to let them know that he pawned the gold medal for fear of being beaten.

"Half a gold plate with the word 'Dragon' engraved on it, my family's surname is Long."

Because none of the women and children present knew or knew the order of Weilong, Meng Fuling directly stated the characteristics of the order of Weilong, and said the word 'dragon' on it as his surname.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it anyway." Wang Laoba insisted that he had never seen Wei Longling, he thought that no one would dare to do anything to him under the watchful eyes of everyone.

But he gave birth to a cheating son, his son was born a bit stupid, and now he was also among those children, and suddenly said: "Father, didn't you say that gold medals can be exchanged for a lot, a lot of silver?"

After Wang Laoba heard this, his face turned pale with anger, and he almost fell to the ground.

Meng Fuling secretly felt it was funny, "Did you all hear that? Old bastard took my family heirloom, I should ask him to get it back."

Now, all the people in the small fishing village consciously stay away from Wang Laoba, and disdain to have anything to do with him, let alone take care of this matter.

Xiao Donggua touched the small cloth bag on her back, which was embroidered with cute cartoon characters, which were drawn by Meng Fuling and had someone sew it for him.

At first, he felt naive and didn't want anything.But Meng Fuling said that a child should act like a child, and besides, he couldn't bear to refuse Meng Fuling's kindness, so he accepted it.

The cloth bag contains delicious pastries, daggers and hidden weapons for self-defense, which are very useful.

Xiaodonggua took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the cloth bag, walked up to Wang Laoba's son, smiled very brightly, and said in a coaxing tone: "Xiao Wangba, as long as you tell me where your father put the gold medal, I will give you the money." I'll give you a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Little bastard?When Meng Fuling heard this address, she almost burst out laughing.

Also, has Little Winter Melon forgotten that he is also a child?He actually used pastries to coax a child who looked a few years older than him.

However, the little boy who was called Little Bastard looked at the pastry in Little Winter Melon's hand longingly, and swallowed slobberingly, "Really? Tell you where the gold medal is, so you can eat it?"

Not to mention that Xiaobai could betray his father just for a piece of pastry, the other children also swallowed hard, staring at the pastry.

"Really!" Xiao Donggua deliberately held the pastry, and swayed it in front of Xiao Wangba's nose, her bright eyes flashed with a charming smile.

Seeing that his son was about to 'rebel', Wang Laoba hurriedly stopped him, "Don't, don't tell——"

Before he could finish his sentence, the guard tapped his Ya acupuncture point, and he could only stare blankly.

Xiao Wang Ba completely ignored his father, and swallowed hard, "I was cheated by my father, so I will drink in exchange for wine."

When Xiaodonggua got the answer, the smile on her face faded instantly, and she stuffed the pastry into Xiao Wangba's hands, "Good boy! Your reward!"

Meng Fuling's complexion also darkened, her coldness was revealed, and she glared at Wang Laoba angrily, "Say! Where did you get it?"

The guards unlocked Wang Laoba's acupoints at the right time, pressed him to the ground, pulled his hair, and pulled his head back. The pain was so strong that he cried for his father and mother.

In the end, Wang Laoba had to tell the truth, "I say, I say, it's Hongxiang's pawn shop in Liushan Town."

Meng Fuling knew about Liushan Town, and it was the nearest town to the island. To return to the capital city, one had to go through Liushan Town.

Although Liushan Town is a small island and the nearest town to the small fishing village, it is still quite far away.Wang Laoba traveled such a long way in order to become Wei Longling.

It took so much effort to find a small fishing village, but in the end, Wei Longling was tricked, and Meng Fuling was very angry.

In a rage, she couldn't help kicking Wang Laoba, "You take us there!"

"But, if I can't redeem it—" Wang Laoba wanted to say what would they do to him if he couldn't redeem it, but seeing Meng Fuling's cold eyes, he was so scared that he swallowed the rest of his words Back in the stomach.

"If you don't get the redemption back, you will suffer disaster!" Meng Fuling laughed angrily, took a deep breath, and said harshly.

"Even if you have thousands of lives, it's still not enough!" Xiao Donggua snorted coldly, and stopped looking at Wang Laoba again.

No matter how exaggerated Wang Laoba's yelling was, no one would pay any attention to him. They all thought that he had done what he had done and let him be escorted to the boat by Meng Fuling and others.

Only the old woman shouted from behind: "Girl, your elder brother's body is still here, remember to come and take it away!"

"I can't forget it!" Meng Fuling sweated slightly, she just responded casually because the ghost wanted Nangong Jue's broken body.

"The token is only half a dollar. I can pawn it for silver because it is made of gold. I'm afraid that someone in the pawnshop will recognize Wei Longling." Meng Fuling didn't continue talking.

The meaning is obvious, I am afraid that someone will recognize Wei Longling, and, after such a long time, it is hard to say that he is still in the pawn shop.

"Mother, just relax, there are very few people who know or have seen Wei Longling." Xiao Donggua looked like a grown-up, and comforted Meng Fuling.

In fact, he was even more worried that Wei Longling would be used for gold jewelry, since it was made of gold after all.

Both the mother and the son spoke in extremely low voices, only the two of them could hear them, so Wang Laoba thought they were plotting how to deal with him, and shrank in a corner, trembling in fright.

Xiaodonggua suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Wang Laoba, "Did you bring the pawn ticket?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Laoba was confused when he heard the pawn ticket, "What pawn ticket?"

Meng Fuling saw that Wang Laoba didn't look like a fake, so she resisted the urge to throw him into the sea to feed the fish, and said angrily: "The pawn shop will issue a receipt called a pawn ticket for you when it collects your pawn. as the only proof of redemption."

After Wang Laoba heard this, he was still at a loss and said in a daze: "The shopkeeper said that the gold medal is defective. Even if it is made of gold, it is not worth much silver. He only gave me one tael of silver, and didn't make any pawns. Give me the ticket."

After speaking, Wang Laoba regretted even more, feeling that he was cheated.

"Idiot!" Meng Fuling was so angry that her lungs hurt.

One tael of silver, and, the invoice has not yet been issued, Wang Laoba, an idiot, was obviously cheated.

Meng Fuling is now even more worried that the shopkeeper of the pawnshop will not accept the account. After all, there is no pawn ticket and no evidence.

Several guards had long thought that Wang Laoba was not pleasing to the eye, and now, Meng Fuling didn't need to say much, they surrounded him and beat him up.

When we arrived at Liushan Town, it was already evening, and everyone hadn't eaten, and they were all hungry.

But Meng Fuling insisted on going to the pawn shop first, otherwise, the matter of Wei Longling weighed heavily on her heart, and everything she ate would be tasteless.

As a result, I went to the pawn shop, but the shopkeeper was not there. The guy said he would come tomorrow.

When Wang Laoba pawned, the shopkeeper was also there, and he took over the pawn himself.A man can't call the shots without a pawn in his hand.

"If you can't get it back, I'll feed you to the fish!" Meng Fuling said angrily.

The little wax gourd acts as Meng Fuling's 'fire extinguisher', and with her sweet and waxy voice, her anger gradually subsides.

It was getting late now, and everyone planned to find an inn to rest for the night.

When passing by a pharmacy, Meng Fuling just turned her head and caught a familiar figure inadvertently.

Xiao Donggua followed Meng Fuling's eyes and was also very surprised, "Mother, isn't that Grandpa Yi?
The grandfather Yi he was talking about was naturally Yi Qianzhong, because Meng Fuling recognized Yi Qianzhong as his adoptive father, so he called him Grandpa Yi Qianzhong.

Meng Fuling's eyes narrowed slightly, Yi Qianzhong clearly said that he had something to go back to Yaowang Valley, why is he here?

"You guys wait here!" After Meng Fuling finished speaking, she led Xiaodonggua into the medicine shop.

Yi Qianzhong was watching the doctor in the pharmacy grab the medicine, and when he sensed someone approaching, he turned around quickly.

When he saw that it was Meng Fuling and Xiaodonggua who came, he was really shocked, "Fuling, why are you here?"

"Father, I should ask you this question. I remember that you went back to the Valley of the Medicine King. Could it be that I have misremembered?"

Meng Fuling did not miss the panic that flashed in Yi Qianzhong's eyes, and deliberately asked with a smile.

"You remember correctly, I originally wanted the Medicine King Valley, but there happened to be something wrong with the medicine shop, and I had to deal with it myself." Yi Qianzhong quickly recovered, and even found an excuse.

"This pharmacy belongs to you?" Meng Fuling was a little surprised.

Everyone in the world knows that the Valley of the Medicine King is hidden from the world and does not show up. In fact, there are industries in the Valley of the Medicine King in all countries, but they are not known to the public!

It is impossible for so many people in Yaowang Valley to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain all the time, otherwise, after several generations, the mountain will be eaten up.

Meng Fuling wouldn't have known about it if she hadn't recognized Yi Qianzhong as her adoptive father. It can be said that Yaowanggu's secrecy work was done extremely well.

"Yes!" Yi Qianzhong nodded without guilt, and the doctor at the side also knew how to read words and expressions, and immediately echoed his words.

Meng Fuling became suspicious. The properties outside the Yaowang Valley are managed by special personnel. Even if there is a problem, the owner of the valley does not need to come forward to solve it in person. Yi Qianzhong's appearance here must be something else.

"Mother, we're hungry! Let's go eat first?" Xiao Donggua rolled her eyes and said, shaking Meng Fuling's arm.

"You brat is really heartless, and you don't ask grandpa to eat with you." Yi Qianzhong laughed and rubbed the head of the little wax gourd.

"At this time, the adoptive father should be full at this time, besides, don't you have something to deal with?" Meng Fuling's rejection was obvious.

Yi Qianzhong had a thick skin, pretending not to hear, and insisted on going to the restaurant for dinner with them.

Meng Fuling frowned slightly, she didn't want Yi Qianzhong to go to the restaurant with them, she wanted someone to see what he was doing in the pharmacy.

It's not that she doubted Yi Qianzhong, but seeing Yi Qianzhong appearing here made her think of Luo Yunhao.

It should be noted that the nearest town to the woods where Luo Yunhao's accident happened is Liushan Town.

It stands to reason that under the circumstances at that time, if Luo Yunhao was hopeless, Yi Qianzhong and the others would definitely cremate him or bury him in the nearby woods.

If Luo Yunhao can still be saved, after Yi Qianzhong rescues him on the spot, he will definitely find a place to house him and let him recuperate.

Meng Fuling asked Qi Xuan, Qi Xuan said that Luo Yunhao was no longer alive, but she asked about the place where Luo Yunhao was buried many times, Qi Xuan either kept silent or changed the subject.

Over time, Meng Fuling suspected that Luo Yunhao was still alive, but she couldn't figure it out, if it was really alive, it would be a good thing, why wouldn't Qi Xuan tell her?

This question remained in her mind, and she had never been able to solve it.Even if she carried Qi Xuan behind her back and asked someone to investigate, nothing could be found.

It was because of this problem that Meng Fuling thought of Luo Yunhao because of seeing Yi Qianzhong sneaking to Liushan Town under the pretext of going back to Medicine King's Valley and being in a medicine store.

After they walked out of the pharmacy, Meng Fuling intentionally took a step behind Yi Qianzhong, put his hands behind his back, and secretly gestured.

A shadow guard hiding in the dark understood what she meant and flew towards the pharmacy.

As everyone knows, even if Yi Qianzhong walked in front of Meng Fuling and the shadow guards were far away, he could still sense it, but he didn't point it out.

He asked in a chatty tone, "Why are you here?"

Meng Fuling was thinking about something, but didn't hear Yi Qianzhong's words.

On the other hand, Xiaodonggua raised her face and talked about everything on the island innocently and excitedly. She was as smart as him, and deliberately concealed the matter of Wei Longling.

Although Yi Qianzhong is now Meng Fuling's adoptive father, Xiao Donggua doesn't completely regard him as one of his own, and is still on guard.

And Yi Qianzhong didn't know the real identity of Xiaodonggua, only when he was a child, chatting with the old and the young, Yi Qianzhong, who has always been shrewd, was led by the nose and circled many times by him unknowingly. lock up.

******
After dinner, everyone opened a few rooms in the inn and settled down.

Xiaodonggua was naturally in the same room as Meng Fuling, and Yi Qianzhong could stay overnight in the pharmacy, but insisted on asking for a room adjacent to Meng Fuling and the others.

This move made Meng Fuling even more suspicious, feeling like surveillance. Could it be that she was afraid that she would find out something?
At night, Meng Fuling and Xiaodonggua lay in bed and whispered.

"Mother, there's something wrong with your adoptive father!" Xiao Donggua truthfully expressed her feelings.

"He won't harm us, but I think he and Hulu have something to hide from me." Meng Fuling said in a muffled voice.

The question of whether Luo Yunhao was still alive lingered in Meng Fuling's heart, making her extremely uncomfortable, and Xiaodonggua became the only one she could confide in.

Although Xiaodonggua had a deep friendship with Qi Xuan in the past, but now it cannot match the mother-child relationship with Meng Fuling, and will not tell Yu Qixuan what is on her mind.

"Are you suspecting that Luo Yunhao is not dead? If he really is not dead, but Hulu is hiding it from you, it must be for your own good." Xiao Donggua guessed Meng Fuling's thoughts at once, because he also suspected that Luo Yunhao was not dead. die.

Qi Xuan never hides anything from her, if she really hides it, it must be for her own good.

Meng Fuling wouldn't doubt this, but she didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark.

Suddenly, three strange sounds came from the window, and Xiao Donggua spoke before Meng Fuling, "Come in!"

As soon as Xiaodonggua's words fell, the window was opened, and a black figure floated in, kneeling on one knee under the bed, lowering his head, not daring to look directly at the person on the bed.

This person was the shadow guard who was sent by Meng Fuling to investigate the medicine shop.

The shadow guards protecting her turned out to be Qi Xuan's people. Since she wanted to investigate Luo Yunhao's affairs behind Qi Xuan's back, it was naturally impossible to use Qi Xuan's people, because it would definitely be leaked to Qi Xuan.

To cultivate a real shadow guard who is only loyal to himself is not something that can be done overnight.

Fortunately, when Xiaodonggua was the prince, there were also many shadow guards and dead men.However, because he was afraid of revealing his identity at that time, he never called out.

Now that Meng Fuling needed it, he called out the dead men to turn into shadow guards, recognized her as the master, and let her drive him.

Since he was born as a dead soldier, he must be more loyal than ordinary shadow guards.

"Is there something different about that pharmacy?" Meng Fuling got up and asked after making sure no one was eavesdropping.

"Returning to the master, my subordinate sneaked into the pharmacy and saw a doctor sneaking into a side room in the backyard..." The shadow guard explained exactly what he had investigated.

The doctor he saw was the one who was grabbing medicine outside at the beginning.

After the doctor left the room, the shadow guard also sneaked into the room. He only saw a half-drunk bowl of soup on the table, but did not see anyone else.

But the bed was still warm, which meant that not long ago, there was still a patient lying on the bed, and the patient was obviously transferred by the doctor.

"You really didn't see the doctor lead someone out of that wing?" Meng Fuling was even more sure that Yi Qianzhong had saved someone, but deliberately concealed it from her.

"No! The subordinates have checked, and there are no traps or secret rooms in the room, so there is no way to hide people." The shadow guard affirmed.

Meng Fuling's heart was depressed, "You step back first, and continue to stare."

As soon as the shadow guard left, Meng Fuling's expression darkened, and she looked at the top of the bed with a somewhat dull look.

"Mother!" Xiao Donggua felt very uncomfortable seeing her like this.

"Xiao Donggua, tell me, Hulu has something to hide from me, and in order not to let him know about the investigation of Luo Yunhao, I used a shadow guard—" Meng Fuling sighed softly, but didn't finish speaking.

After experiencing many hardships, life and death, Meng Fuling and Qi Xuan both loved each other deeply and believed in each other.

It's just that Meng Fuling doesn't like this, and they prevent each other from knowing their secrets.

"Mother, maybe concealment is another form of protection. No matter what, you just need to remember that Hulu loves you." Little Winter Melon said seriously.

"You're right, I'm a fan of the authorities." Meng Fuling thought about it and soon felt relieved.

The mother and son chatted for a few more words before falling asleep, but they didn't know that a figure quickly flashed outside the door as soon as they stopped talking.

The next day, everyone got up early and went directly to the pawn shop after breakfast.

Unexpectedly, when entering the pawnshop, Meng Fuling asked to see the shopkeeper, and a very familiar person walked out.

Meng Fuling was shocked when she saw this person, "Are you the shopkeeper of this pawn shop?"
