The meal at the Qin family butcher shop ended unknowingly after everyone was silent.

Liu Blacksmith drank a lot of wine today. Qin Shan not only did not stop Liu Blacksmith from drinking continuously, but instead drank a lot of wine with Liu Blacksmith.

Blacksmith Liu left the Qin family's gate and immediately declined the kindness of everyone's gift. He went home alone staggeringly.

Everyone watched Liu Blacksmith leave. There were only two or three houses separated from the Qin family butcher shop. So Liu Blacksmith did not walk for a long time before entering his home.

Everyone watched Liu Blacksmith enter the house and close the door, and then they dispersed with confidence.

...

Meng Zhize bid farewell to Qin Shan's family and returned to Chen Ji Tea Shop with Chen Bing. At this moment, Chen Bing's cousin Xiaoyu had not returned home. Chen Bing opened the door of the store and saw the silence in the store.

Meng Zhize sat expressionlessly at a table next to the shop door. After entering the room, Meng Zhize looked like he was lost and remained silent from beginning to end.

A sudden drop of crystal tears appeared at the corner of his eyes. At this moment, Meng Zhize pressed his hands on the table, staring at the table in a daze.

Chen Bing brought out two plates of exquisite snacks from the counter, then brewed a pot of herbal tea. After working for a while, Chen Bing was free, so he immediately moved a chair and sat next to Meng Zhize.

Seeing Meng Zhize being stunned, Chen Bing hesitated for a while, then picked up a piece of exquisite pastry and brought it to Meng Zhize, and said softly: "Brother Meng, I saw you at the table just now that you didn't even move your chopsticks. You must be hungry now. Eat some pastries to fill your stomach! Why don't I go to the kitchen to make two dishes for you?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhize slowly looked up at Chen Bing, then shook his head, and said, "I'm not hungry at all, don't go to work hard."

Chen Bing sighed lightly, put the pastry in his hand back, then she slowly pushed a cup of herbal tea in front of Meng Zhize and said, "Wake up the bar with a cup of tea. I saw you drinking a lot of wine just now, and my stomach must be burning tight."

Meng Zhize nodded, took the teacup that Chen Bing pushed over, and immediately took a big sip.

Seeing Meng Zhize drinking all the cup of tea one by one, Chen Bing felt relieved and hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Meng Zhize.

Meng Zhize picked up the teacup and drank another sip of tea. He then hesitated for a while and suddenly took out three ingots of gold from his arms.

Meng Zhize slowly placed the three ingots of gold on the table and immediately pushed them in front of Chen Bing.

Chen Bing glanced at the three ingots of gold and immediately looked at Meng Zhize with a puzzled look on his face, and said in confusion: "Brother Meng, what do you mean?"

Meng Zhize said: "When I went out, I brought five ingots of gold with me. I gave two ingots to Brother Qin and his wife before, and only these three ingots were left.

Ah Hui's martyrs' pension will probably be later to be distributed to Uncle Liu. Uh... You can keep one of these three ingots of gold yourself, and you will ask you to hand it over to Uncle Liu for the other two ingots of gold for me, just treat it as my wish!"

Chen Bing nodded after hearing this and suddenly said, "Brother Meng, why don't I hand over all these three ingots of gold to Uncle Liu?"

Meng Zhize shook his head gently and said, "You keep a ingot yourself. It is not easy for a girl to live.

Uh... Today I killed Shi Jin, the evil man, and I will definitely alarm the government. When the government comes to inquire, you will directly report my name and say that you are my good friend and the government will take care of you in the future.

Uh... If the government supports you in the future, there will definitely be no evil people coming to make things difficult for you in the future."

When Chen Bing heard this, he let out a slight "um" and then nodded gratefully to Meng Zhize. A teardrop immediately rolled out of her eyes.

Meng Zhize was stunned for a while, then suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and gently wiped the tears between Chen Bing's cheeks.

The skin on Chen Bing's cheeks suddenly touched the remaining heat coming from Meng Zhize's fingertips, and a blush instantly appeared on her face. Chen Bing immediately stood up embarrassedly, lowered her head, took a step back, and slightly avoided Meng Zhize's palm.

Meng Zhize was shocked when he saw this. He suddenly felt excited and half of his alcohol consumption immediately passed.

Meng Zhize was silent for a moment, then scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment and said, "I'm leaving. I'll come back to see you again if I have the chance."

Chen Bing was stunned when she heard Meng Zhize's words. She suddenly looked up and stared at Meng Zhize and slowly said, "Brother Meng, are you going to go far again?"

Just now, while Meng Zhize was wiping the tears on Chen Bing's face, his fingertips accidentally touched the skin on Chen Bing's face. Meng Zhize was a general in the border area. He developed a carefree habit with the soldiers on weekdays. He didn't know how to have a love relationship with his children. Just now, his fingers accidentally touched Chen Bing's skin, and Meng Zhize didn't care.

However, Chen Bing is an unmarried woman after all. After all, she has a shy reaction to her skin touching her opposite sex, but her heart is warm and she is very happy.

After Chen Bing suddenly heard the news that Meng Zhize was about to leave again, she felt sad. The words that had been buried in Chen Bing's heart for so many years were almost about to burst out. However, reason finally defeated the impulse in her heart. Her words were about to come to her mouth, but she immediately shrank back.

After seeing Chen Bing say "Brother Meng, are you going to go far again?", Meng Zhize stood there, stunned and dazed.

Meng Zhize stared at Chen Bing, hesitated for a while, and suddenly nodded slightly to Chen Bing, saying, "Well, I want to go out, and I may go to a lot of East."

"Where to go? How long will it take?" Chen Bing looked dim, as if she had lost her soul. Her red lips moved slightly, and her tone of speaking was extremely light and thin.

Meng Zhize was stunned for a while, then slowly turned around. He faced the door and sighed long, saying, "The 2,356 soldiers of the Meng family army have all sacrificed their lives for the country. They are buried one by one in the northwest border, and as the commander of the Meng family army, I naturally want to see their hometown for them. By the way, I help them complete what they wanted to do during their lifetime but have no energy to do.

So... where are I going this time? How long will it take? Actually, I don’t have a clear idea in my heart yet."

Chen Bing looked at the back of the man with a strong bone in front of her. Her heart suddenly felt sad, and tears instantly wet her cheeks. She wanted to speak but stopped several times, and her lips kept twitching.

Meng Zhize paused for a moment and suddenly said slowly: "Maybe the place I am going to next stop is Mengjia Village, Yunli Town, Motuocheng, Dongjing? Because it is not only the hometown of my father Meng Hun, but also the hometown of brothers such as Meng Xiong and Meng Jie."

Chen Bing said softly "um" from her nose. She bit her lips, clenched her hands tightly, and wanted to pounce on her and hug the man in front of her, but confessed to him how she had struggled in her heart over the years.

However, deep in Chen Bing's heart, reason is still greater than impulse. She stood silently, staring at his back, and gradually moved out of the door.

...

"I'm leaving, you should take good care of yourself."

Meng Zhize's voice came to Chen Bing's ears like a dream. Chen Bing's heart was struggling violently. She wanted to chase after her, but her feet suddenly felt like they were filled with lead, and it was still difficult to move at all.

After Chen Bing's heart struggled repeatedly, she finally made a clear decision, but Meng Zhize was already riding on the horse.

At the same time, a smile appeared on Chen Bing's face, and she immediately ran out of the door excitedly.

"drive……"

When Meng Zhize slapped his horse away, Chen Bing rushed out of the house.

But she was still one step late after all.

Chen Bing looked at Meng Zhize's back as she was leaving, and her tearful eyes gradually blurred her gaze. She finally couldn't help but sob: "Take me with me, I don't want to leave you..."

Unfortunately, Meng Zhize did not hear Chen Bing's shouting. At this moment, there was only the whistling sound of the wind in Meng Zhize's ears.

...

Meng Zhize ran west along the official road in the western suburbs. At a fork in front of him, he immediately adjusted the road to the south. After running on the small path south for a while, another fork in the road. When he arrived here, Meng Zhize suddenly turned his horse's head and turned to the east.

At this moment, the sun has set in the west.

...

A few days later, on the banks of the Bu River, the wind was cold at night, and there were no stars or moons.

At night, a sudden thunderstorm instantly extinguished the heat flow that was surging during the day.

The busy ferry calmed down instantly when the thunderstorm was approaching.

Most of the boatmen who were lying on the boat went home to rest. At this moment, there were still one or two wind oil lamps on the ferry. Two boatmen were hurriedly repairing several holes on the boat with the faint light.

"Xiao Song, there is still one place left here that has not been repaired. We can finish it early, so let's go home early."

"Okay uncle, fortunately the rain stopped, otherwise our ship would be in danger."

"Yes, this sudden thunderstorm made us find several holes at once. Uh... it seems that these wooden boards should be replaced."

"Our ship has been in the past few years, and some wooden boards have rotted long ago. Fortunately, it was raining in time, otherwise we would not have found these holes yet."

"Well, I should thank God. The high temperature for more than ten days has almost made people feel suffocated. Fortunately, it rained in time, well... it is much cooler at this moment."

"Well, my uncle is right. In this rainstorm, the temperature on the ground has dropped significantly, and it is indeed much more comfortable."

"Before the fuel in the wind oil lamp has not yet burned out, let's make a little more effort and don't make it go back in the dark later."

"Okay. Uncle, handed me the hammer beside you for use. I fixed the last piece of patch and we'll be done."

"Give it, hammer, uh...it's better for you young people."

On a wooden boat on the ferry, both old and young were wearing straw raincoats. At this moment, they were concentrating on cultivating the holes on the boat, while chatting about some daily routines.

At this moment, not far from the ferry, an old man was dressed in plain clothes and black clothes, and his body was about to be a little hunched.

The old man was looking for the only light on the ferry and was slowly heading towards the ferry.
