Chapter 44: The Umbrella of a Sunny Sky (Thanks to the Master of Hunan Cuisine for the Monthly Pass)
"Du Wei, that Si Jian Qiancai commander brings people to buy people's hearts every day, and now there are more and more people waiting on Dongdajie, and some of them refuse to leave even at night. The little commander was embarrassed to report.
"If they want to wait, let them wait, as long as Lord Yin continues to suppress this case, we have nothing to worry about. In the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Situ Nan leaned in the lobby and said lightly.
"Yes, the lowly duty continues to guard. ”
The little commander heard the words and left.
And in the prison department's prison, in the dim cell, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is day or night, Xianyu is lying on a pile of dry straw, bored with stones on the earthen wall to draw a vertical and asked, "Big brother, you said how many days have passed, I can't count it, one, two, three, four, five...... Why has this case gone on for so many days, but there has been no movement at all?...... Nor did anyone send us to question or go to court?"
"Want to go to class?"
A passing cell boss stood outside the cell and let out a sneer, "Do you three know what's going on outside?"
Xianyu said curiously, "What's wrong? Shouldn't it be that Ruo Ao Yuejiao, who has killed countless people, has been beheaded?"
"Bah, dare to curse our eldest brother if Ao Si is defeated, you are looking for death!" The cell leader immediately scolded in fear when he heard this, "Even if the three of you brothers and sisters die in this prison, Lord Ruo Ao Duwei will be fine." Hmph, you really have to thank Lord Duwei, if it weren't for his blessing, the three of you would have been dragged out and beheaded, and you would have been dismantled. ”
Xianyu snorted lightly, "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have ended up in this field today and trapped in this prison, otherwise I would have been out a long time ago." ”
"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense!"
Xiangao frowned.
"Where am I talking nonsense, big brother, it's just this broken cell, sooner or later they will obediently ask me out. Xianyu smiled easily, and her eyes fell on the cell head and several jailers outside the cell, looking up and down.
Qing'er snorted lightly on the side, "If it was really capable, we really wouldn't have been locked up here for so long, and we would have run away a long time ago." ”
"I did it on purpose, didn't I?"
Xianyu's face flushed, and she immediately pouted.
"If you don't have the ability, just say it, if you have the ability, get us out now, I don't want to die in this. Qing'er said.
"The time has not come, you wait!"
"Okay, okay, you three Zheng Guoren are the big prison of my Chu State, you can come if you want, you can leave if you want, come here, starve them three times for me, and see if they still talk nonsense!" The cell boss sneered, to be a hero in his territory, it depends on whether he is willing or not, and the jailer who follows him should be immediately.
When Xianyu heard that she was going to be hungry, she couldn't help but say, "You'll regret it!"
"Uncle Ben regrets it, you say, I'm hungry for you for two days, say two words, I'll starve you for three days!" said the cell boss condescendingly.
"Okay, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, you can't fight them, it's better to be quiet, don't continue to find us guilty. Qing'er said leisurely leaning against the corner of the wall.
In the dark prison, only a few oil lamps were lit on the corridor that were obviously panicked, and it seemed that they were going to go out at any time, Xianyu said with an aggrieved face, "Big brother, you carry me, I haven't looked at the sky outside for several days, and I don't know if it's dawn now." ”
Xiangao crouched down silently, "Come on!"
Qing'er snorted lightly when she saw this, "I will pretend to be pitiful since I was a child!"
Xianyu glared back at her happily, and then climbed onto Xiangao's broad shoulders, Xiangao listened to her happy voice, slowly stood up and walked to the iron window, and asked in a loud voice, "Yu'er, do you see the sky outside?"
"See, big brother, it's dawn, but it looks like it's going to rain. ”
Eyes followed a rain cloud floating from the north, a thin layer, gently shrouded in the city of Yingdu, the sky that had just dawned in the morning gradually darkened, Xianyu wanted to see more streets outside but couldn't see anything.
Only the bustling voice faintly came from outside the high walls of the prison department, "It's a good sunny day, why is it raining?"
The people on the East Street had just come out of their homes, and when they saw this day, they looked for a place to prepare for the rain, or prepared to go home and wait for the rain to stop coming.
The whole street gradually became empty, and Lao Wan persuaded Aunt Liu, "Auntie, you haven't been back for several days, and now it's going to rain, let's go back first." ”
"No, I'll find a place to hide, you go back first, Lao Wan. ”
Aunt Liu said, "Anyway, I'm a blind mother-in-law, I can't see anything at home, and I can't see anything outside, so I'll sit again. ”
"Then I'll go back and get the umbrella first, you wait for me here. ”
Lao Wan instructed her uneasily.
Aunt Liu nodded, and soon it began to drizzle, Aunt Liu groped for the root of the wall, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain, and suddenly, the rain above her head was gone.
She looked around blankly, and said, "Lao Wan, did you come back with an umbrella, why did you come back so quickly?"
"Why don't you speak?"
"Is that you?"
Aunt Liu chuckled twice into the air to herself, "It's the rain that has stopped, the sun is out again, it's still hot, this weather is like this, if it's sunny, it's sunny, and when it's raining, it's raining...... It's really a trip for Lao Wanbai. ”
"I don't know when my Liu'er will be able to get it back, he has loved to follow Lao Wan's ass since he was a child, but before and after, just after a big flood, he was washed away, and Lao Wan was left. Thinking of Liu'er, Aunt Liu couldn't help but rub her eyes with her shabby cotton sleeves.
"I don't know where Liu Er was taken captive, whether she is still in Chu State, whether she is doing well, whether she is hungry or not, and she is not cold...... If he is forcibly bought to be a slave, I don't know if he will work hard or not, and whether he will be beaten ......"
"In the past three or four years, he must have wanted to come back, but he couldn't escape...... He must have missed the nest I made, he loved to eat it when he was a kid......"
"But I can't see him anymore, Liu'er, and I don't know if he's grown taller or stronger?"
Aunt Liu sat alone on the corner of East Street, and the rain as thin as a feather fell gently around her, but it did not touch a corner of her body.
Her world seemed to be in a league of its own.
It's just her and the only son she wants to get back.
Above her head was a small sunny day outside of a rainy day, a sky covered by an azure tarpaulin umbrella, clean and not a drop of rain fell.
She was talking to herself alone, and she didn't know how long......
Suddenly, a drop of liquid slid down her cheek, she raised her hand, touched the warm liquid on her cheek, looked up blankly and said, "Is it raining again?"
But no second drop of rain fell.
The people around her looked at her silently, wanting to answer, but they didn't answer, they all looked at her, and behind her stood a richly dressed woman, holding up a sunny sky on her head.
After a long time, suddenly a voice came from the street, stepping on the slightly slippery street, shouting, "Auntie, auntie, I'm here with an umbrella!"
"Is it Lao Wan?"
"What are you doing with an umbrella?"
Aunt Liu hurriedly got up to meet him when she heard the sound, and blamed him sentence by sentence for not running around like that, "The rain has stopped, what are you doing with an umbrella?"
"Auntie, it's raining all the time. ”
Lao Wan was pulled by her, the umbrella in his hand covered the rain above her head, but his eyes fell on the back of a person behind her who turned around and walked away, and said quietly, "Someone helped you hold the umbrella, so you don't know." ”
"Did someone hold an umbrella for me?"
Aunt Liu suddenly realized, "No wonder I felt a ball of heat behind me, and I thought the sun was coming out, and it was warm, but I thought it was wrong, it turned out to be really raining." ”
"Yes, auntie, just now it was a girl who was holding an umbrella for you, and this girl has asked someone to bring us food these days......" The people said one after another, "This girl looks like a kind-hearted person, I hope God will bless a good person." ”
"Auntie, this girl, you should know it too. ”
"I know?"
Aunt Liu thought about it, and there was no girl in her impression who matched the impression that everyone said.
"During the Midyear Festival last year, Lord Youtu came to us to make a wonton, do you remember?" said Lao Wan slowly.
"Remember, he said he was going to eat for a girl, is it the girl just now?" Aunt Liu looked left and right when she heard this, "Is that girl still there?" I really want to see her face, see her appearance......
"She's gone, and the next time I meet her, I'll show you. Lao Wan said.
"It's a pity...... I've always wanted to meet her, but I didn't expect to meet her, but I didn't know, I blame my mother-in-law for being blind, and no one can see in the future...... If he comes back, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it...... Only listen to "his voice......
"Cheng Youtu doesn't know how his autumn harvest went?"
When all the people heard the mention of Cheng You, they all looked at the rain clouds in the sky, put their hands together and prayed, "I really hope that this rain will not rain too long, and it will not rain too much...... Otherwise, the rice in the eastern suburbs will be crushed as soon as it matures, and the harvest will be dismal, and everyone will have another famine year this year......"
"Yes, I really hope it doesn't rain too much, this rain ......"
"Shao Si lives to bless the wind and rain!"
"Abundant crops!"
……
"Lady!"
At the end of East Street, Si Jian greeted her.
"Si Jian, you said that there is really no way this time. ”
"Lady, no matter how you say it, the overall situation is the most important thing now, and there is no way to do it, maybe the colt is back. ”
"Then their children, relatives, husbands, can they come back?"
