Three-pot porridge and naan

Chapter 42 Jinjiang Literature City [Liu Deng 7] Chapter 42...

After sending someone to the workshop to hire a lantern master, the counterfeit thought that Gu Qi would become as obedient as usual, but unexpectedly Gu Qi became even more rebellious.

It was raining heavily the day Cheng Ye first moved into the Gu's guest house, and he heard noises outside, so he didn't sleep deeply.

That night, the counterfeit drank too much, beat Gu Qi half to death, and hung him in the well.

In the middle of the night, the counterfeit woke up from the wine and called his cronies to get Gu Qi's pulse. The cronies said that Gu Qi couldn't be saved, so he should prepare earlier.

The well in the Gu family's house directly leads to the big river underground, and no one knows when the body was thrown into the well and washed into the big river.

Counterfeit goods used this method to deal with foreign businessmen who came to stay in the ancient mansion.

The cronies persuaded him to get rid of Gu Qi earlier, but the counterfeit thought that Gu Qi could live for a day, so he would squeeze Gu Qi one more day.

Cheng Ye decided to enter Gufu precisely because Gufu named the lantern after "Liu Deng" in the post that Gufu handed over to the workshop.

The merchant's surname was "Gu" and the word "Liu Deng" was mentioned, Cheng Ye wondered if it had something to do with Gu Qi.

He came to the ancient mansion to find Gu Qi, but it turned out that he really found Gu Qi.

But when he found Gu Qi, Gu Qi had already been beaten by the counterfeit.

For Gu Qi, it was a gift from God to be able to see his old friend before he died, and he was very grateful.

The counterfeit asked someone to pass the post asking for a lantern master to the three workshops, and there were three masters who agreed, and it was the counterfeit who chose Cheng Ye to enter the mansion.

The reason is because Cheng Ye has won several first prizes in the lantern.

Who would have nothing to do to investigate a lantern master who became famous as a teenager in the Yingbei lantern circle?

The counterfeit only looked at Cheng Ye's resume and decided on Cheng Ye.

The huge lantern was Cheng Ye's idea, but it was all made by Gu Qi. Even the place where the lantern was placed was also Gu Qi's idea.

"Brother Cheng, do you still remember the flowing lights we put by the small river outside Lu Town? At that time, I told you that it would be great if you would follow those floating lights to find my mother's red boat...they all It is said that my mother has abandoned me cruelly, but I know that no mother in the world would want to abandon her child, they look down on my mother's identity, my mother gave birth to me, and they took me away."

"Brother Cheng, I'm about to die. I just want to become a flying Liudeng to meet my mother. I just want to help my uncle one last time..."

"Don't talk, don't talk...you'll be fine, you'll be fine! I saved you and you don't die, do you hear me! I should have promised the Gu family to make lanterns earlier, I was stupid, I didn't know you were Gu family, I didn't know you were suffering in the Gu family!" Cheng Ye couldn't help crying.

*

Others will never understand what kind of mood Cheng Ye had in tying Gu Qi to the lantern with his own hands.

He even thought that after this time, his hands might not be able to make lanterns again.

Gu Qi looked at him, laughing with tears in his eyes, his voice was so weak that he was about to die: "brother Cheng, thank you...you will definitely live a long life."

He knew that no one could help him except Cheng Ye, Cheng Ye was willing to help him and the Gu family, and he had already risked his family's life.

"I will turn into Liu Deng to protect you and your family...Brother Cheng, I can finally find my mother...Brother Cheng, you should be happy for me."

Cheng Ye covered his mouth and cried uncontrollably.

"Brother Cheng, I still have a lot to say. Don't stop making lanterns because of me... The lanterns you make will always be the most beautiful in the world..." Gu Qi swallowed a mouthful of blood and water, and pulled it out. A pale smile came.

"Brother Cheng, can we be brothers in the next life?"

Cheng Ye nodded violently while crying.

That night, Yingbei Lantern Festival.

Cheng Ye poured the whole bucket of sesame oil of Wulai flowers on the lantern leather with a blank expression.

The guards pushed the huge lantern out.

The big lantern made by Gu Qi succeeded once, and it really flew to the other side of the big river, and drifted along the wind to the other side of the big river.

At the moment when the lantern flew out, Cheng Ye quickly left the city tower as Gu Qi told him before he died, and went to the workshop to wait, the government officials would arrest him, and it was safer to go to prison than anywhere else.

Cheng Ye wept all the way back to the workshop, he knew his best friend was dead.

Never go back.

"Brother Cheng, candied haws are so sweet."

"Brother Cheng, there is a cat with different eyes in the house. They all say it is from Persia. That cat is good-looking, but it is very lazy."

"Brother Cheng, the kite I made flies so high, I will definitely win the first place this time."

"Brother Cheng...I miss my mother."

"Brother Cheng, they all said you were leaving."

The affection in childhood was always deep, even though the two of them always saw each other for many years, even after many years, they still had a deep affection for each other like brothers and sisters.

Cheng Ye always thought that if his father had been living a good life and the family had not stopped earning a living, if he had grabbed Gu Qi who was crying bitterly when he came to Yingbei as an apprentice that year, both of them would have come to Yingbei as apprentices.

Will their lives be changed by this?

Gu Qi likes to make things so much, he will definitely become the best craftsman in Yingbei City.

Gu Qi is so talented, he will definitely become the vassal of some noble person.

Gu Qi is so kind and kind, he will definitely meet the best girl...

"woo woo woo woo……"

Tears blurred his vision, and he fell to the ground with a thud. When he woke up again, he was already in the prison of the Sanlihe government office.

Wandong was fortunate enough to hear the story of Cheng Ye and Gu Qi.

"My lord, on the night of thirty, accompany me to the river to light the lanterns."

After Cheng Ye's story was finished, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking at Wandong.

Wandong smiled and said, "My lord can't accompany you to set off the lantern."

Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, feeling a little lost.

Wandong saw his expression and smiled again: "But Doctor Mei can."

"..." Cheng Ye's eyes glistened with tears, "My lord, don't you think I'm an accomplice? You won't put me in jail?"

"Even if the wicked all get away with it, what's more, you are just fulfilling a wish."

Thirty this day is the twenty-seventh day of Guqi.

By the river, Cheng Ye spent two nights making many lanterns, one after another, with many stories written and painted on them, and each lantern was a short story about him and Gu Qi.

The story of candied haws.

The story of the Persian cat.

The story of the kite...

Wandong always felt that Yingbei and Yingchuan were places of romantic beauty and outstanding people, and originally such places should be charming everywhere.

"Doctor Mei, do you think he and I can be blood brothers in the next life?" Cheng Ye suddenly raised his head to look at Wandong, a star-like light suddenly flashed in his haggard and gloomy eyes, so dazzling.

Hearing this, Wan Dong, who was silently watching Liu Deng go away, was slightly stunned. He smiled: "I've heard an old saying that it is a kindness of burying the bones, and it will be repaid in the next life, either for brothers and sisters, or for brothers and sisters. for……"

Wandong thought for a while and decided not to say the second half of the sentence.

Cheng Ye was overjoyed when he heard that, wiped his face with his sleeve, and showed a long-lost smile on his face.

After the counterfeit boss of the Gu family was imprisoned in the government prison, all the counterfeit cronies escaped if they could.

In order to guard against the old boss and Gu Qi, the counterfeiters changed every year except the guards and servants in the outer courtyard. Those people seemed to be his cronies, but they were actually not loyal.

Gu Ban didn't last for half a month, and almost passed away after roughly counting the remaining property of the Gu family.

Before his death, Gu Ban handed over the property of the Gu family to Cheng Ye, and because Cheng Ye adopted his second son under Gu Qi's name, Gu Ban changed the child's name to Gu Siqi.

The matter of the Gu family has been discussed for a long time by the restaurant outside the Sanli River and the tea house near the Gu family in Yingbei.

"After hearing this, Master Cheng is the big winner. All the wealth of the Gu family has gone into his pocket."

"How can you say that? You should first say that Master Cheng values ​​love and righteousness. If he is a person who is greedy for life and fears death, he directly rejects Gu Ban and Gu Ban's nephew. Throw it into the well, rush to the big river, and there will be another one with no bones left, and the counterfeit will wrap up the property of the Gu family and run away, and it will always be an unsolved case, and the secrets of the Gu family will never see the light of day."

"You're right. Master Cheng puts his family's life at the mercy of love and righteousness, and that's why Gu Bo is grateful to him today."

"If you want me to say that the counterfeit goods don't know how to accept them, they just accept them. It's really unsatisfactory. They have so much money. If they don't leave early, they still want to squeeze the Gu family's uncle and nephew to continue to make money. It's too greedy!"

The people in the teahouse and restaurant were discussing.

In a carriage on the street outside.

"Father, mother, where are we going?"

"I've said it many times, now you should call me uncle."

"Daddy, the second brother is too young to remember."

"Go back to Lu Town to take care of my grandfather first, and then take you to Yong Kingdom."

"Daddy, why are we going to Yong Kingdom?" The little girl hugged her father's neck.

Cheng Ye lowered his head and didn't want his daughter to see the tears on his face. He put his arms around his beloved wife, buried his head in her neck, and said in a trembling voice: "Because he likes the misty rain in the southern country the most... ..."

This sentence made the woman beside him also shed tears.
