Jia Zhu entered the middle school, and the whole Jia Mansion was happy, who knew that he had not been happy for a few days, and he got another letter, saying that Jia Zhu had met a gangster, his money was looted, and his life and death were unknown. Shocked by the bad news, the whole government was shocked. I have been looking for it for months and there is no whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu and Zhou Quan came back on Chinese New Year's Eve. This surprised and delighted everyone. Mrs. Wang hugged Jia Zhu and cried endlessly, and others were also concerned when they saw it.

"It's cold on the ground, don't kneel. Look at Zhu'er all the way is also hard, the two of you go to freshen up and dust first, the second wife is a good thing today, you should take care of your body. Shi Fei'er spoke.

Jia Zhu nodded in response, said goodbye to everyone for the time being, and went to freshen up. At this time, the maid who was about to reward came back, and Shi Fei'er said: "Rejoice today, double this reward, and make up for everyone's hard work and worries for a year." Hearing this, people were naturally happy, and they had to come to Jia Mu to flatter a few words. Because many days of worries have been resolved, Shi Fei'er is naturally relieved and accepts it with a smile.

Seeing Jia Zhu come back like this, he thought that he naturally suffered a lot along the way. I don't know if this dinner has been used, and at this time the dinner in the house has passed. Because everyone was not interested, they hastily accepted it. Mrs. Zhang asked Jia's mother if she had prepared another table for Jia Zhu. Mrs. Wang only recovered from this great joy at this time, and she was busy taking care of it herself.

"Don't prepare a single table, this Chinese New Year's Eve is also a reunion, and then prepare a table to eat and chat together." Shi Fei'er spoke, paused and said, "Go and call Mrs. Zhou too." She must not know that she is back this week, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, but I am afraid that she will cry alone at this time. ”

Mother Jia's speech is naturally handled by someone. When Jia Zhu returned with Zhou Quan's freshening up, the meal and banquet had been prepared, and Mrs. Zhou had arrived. When Mrs. Zhou saw her nephew come back completely, she couldn't help but burst into tears. The aunt and nephew hugged each other and cried for a while. Shi Fei'er asked people to set up a small table separately, and let Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Quan also sit.

Everyone naturally cares about how Jia Zhu suffered and how to save the day. But Jia Mu sat and didn't speak yet, so everyone was in a hurry to ask. Shi Fei'er watched Jia Zhu eat up the bowl of blue stem and two-rice porridge in front of him before opening his mouth: "Zhu'er, what happened to you along the way?" ”

Jia Zhu was in a much better spirit than Fang Cai at this time, and knew that everyone was anxious, so he put down his chopsticks and said: "After Zhu'er entered the middle school, she wanted to meet her uncle because she thought that Yangzhou and Jinling were not far away, and because her teacher mentioned that there were several famous bachelors in Yangzhou, she also took the opportunity to meet her." So they prepared a generous gift, and went on a boat on the road, but they met the bandits, and when they saw that we had a bad idea of wealth and gifts, they intercepted the boat, tied us hand and foot, and planned to knock us out and throw them into the river. ”

Hearing Jia Zhu say this, Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't stop her tears and sobbed. Jia Zhu sighed: "There were more than a dozen people on that boat, and now I don't know how many people have been rescued." ”

Shi Fei'er sighed: "There should be one more person." If it weren't for him, we'd be afraid it wouldn't be long before we knew what had happened to you? ”

Jia Zhu's eyes darkened when he heard this: "Hey, only three people have escaped this catastrophe." This is Zhu'er's fault, and if Zhu'er hadn't done this, maybe they wouldn't have suffered this hardship. This Chinese New Year's Eve can also be by the side of the family. ”

Mrs. Wang said: "This matter has nothing to do with Zhu'er, everyone has their own life, and it is good for Zhu'er that you have this heart." Don't blame yourself for this. ”

Shi Fei'er glanced at Mrs. Wang, then looked at Jia Zhu and said, "Everyone who accompanied you has sent silver money to the house, and they have also placed their families properly. You can rest assured about this, but people can't be resurrected after death, and it's useless to blame yourself for being sad. ”

After listening to Jia's mother's words, Jia Zhu nodded and said, "Zhu'er has annoyed the old lady and the wife. ”

"Pearl, tell me how you were saved?" Jia Zheng couldn't help but ask.

"It's a shame to be saved this time. On that day, when the bandits intercepted the boat, they tied everyone up and pressed them in one place, and then searched everywhere for finances. The water bandit was so fierce that he didn't let anyone go even if he got his property. Someone cursed, knocked the person unconscious, and threw him into the water. Zhou Quan saw that the water bandits were fierce, and he hurriedly said that we are the children of merchants, and today we are also going to see relatives to give gifts. If he can spare his life, his family will be grateful. Naturally, the reward was much more valuable than the gifts we brought with us. The water bandit was greedy for money, so he nodded in response. Zhou Quan said that it was necessary to write a letter to the family, and the bandit nodded and agreed, and ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, loosen the tie and let us write a letter home. Because the deck was shaking, he deliberately spilled the ink, begging if the other party could get a table or let us write on the side of the boat, otherwise it would not seem like it came from us, and the family would not believe it. The water bandit followed, let us lean on the side and write. Zhou Quan grabbed me and retreated to the side of the boat, taking advantage of the wind and waves to jump directly into the water. ”

Everyone was relieved to hear this. Shi Fei'er was stunned for a moment and asked, "The water bandit didn't get off the boat to chase you?" ”

"Not really. Maybe it was because it was too dark that night? Jia Zhu shook his head, "I don't know much about this. That is, because the water bandits have not come down, maybe we can have a life. ”

Mrs. Wang said: "Even if you have escaped the robbery of the water bandits, why didn't you write to the mansion earlier, so that we can find you." ”

Jia Zhu smiled bitterly: "Back to Mrs., the lake water in autumn is really cold to the bone, and we didn't swim for long. And because it was a moonless night, I couldn't tell the direction when it was dark. It's also thanks to Zhou Quan who tied the two of us together with a belt, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to return to the house today. ”

"What do you mean by that, brother?" Yuan Chun looked nervous and asked as well.

"The two of us didn't have a good body, so we went with the flow all night. Actually, I can only remember it here, and the rest is all about it and I listened to it thoroughly. Perhaps because of the strong current, I was hit on the head in the water that night and broke a bone in my chest. Zhou Quan injured his arm, and now his right arm is not able to lift heavy objects. ”

Hearing Jia Zhu say this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled Jia Zhu and asked, "This chest bone is actually broken?" Does it still hurt now? Where else is the discomfort? Tomorrow, I'll ask the Imperial Doctor to treat you. ”

Jia Zhu said: "Now it is only when it is windy and rainy, it will be faintly painful, and it should be no big problem." ”

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient to invite the imperial doctor tomorrow, and in two days, I'll give you a good look." Shi Fei'er spoke again: "Since Zhu'er doesn't know what happened next, let Zhou Quan explain it clearly." ”

Zhou Quan heard what Jia Mu said, and hurriedly got up and said: "Back to the old lady's words, I don't know how long I floated in this river with the young master after that night, and when I woke up, I was on a river beach." At that time, the young master didn't know what he had hit in this river, and I kept calling him to wake up. I didn't know at that time that the young master had a broken sternum. So he carried the young master behind his back and wanted to find someone's home for help. After walking for a long time, I didn't see anyone, but I met an old monk, and when he saw the two of us like this, he asked about the situation and took the two of us to a small temple. The old monk knows some medical skills, and it was he who told me that the young master had a broken sternum, but fortunately he didn't hurt his five organs, otherwise he would have ...... a long time ago" Speaking of this, Zhou Quan's voice choked.

Everyone sighed when they heard this, on the one hand, they felt that they were clever and adaptable, and on the other hand, they also felt their loyalty. It's really rare to still think about the master after suffering this hardship.

“…… Because the young master injured his bones, he was unconscious. The old monk gave medicine to the young master, and used a splint to protect the sternum, saying that it could not be turned. It's a hundred days, and I can't do it. When asked when the old monk and young master would wake up, he said that he didn't know, it depended on the will of heaven. ”

Zhou Quan paused and said, "I'm really anxious too." But the body has long been scraped clean by the bandits, and there is not even a sachet and purse, and I want to write to the house, but the old monk tells me that the nearest town here is also a two-day walk, and it is not safe for a person to walk in this mountain. I had to wait for the young master to wake up before we discussed. ”

"Zhou Quan, are you good now?" Shi Fei'er suddenly remembered that Jia Zhu said that he had injured his right arm this week, so he asked.

"Back to the old lady's words, there is no big problem, that day in the water hurriedly put his hand with the young master to help together, afraid that the water flow will be too fast. It is estimated that the ring was pulled off at that time and was already attached. The old monk said that as long as you don't lift heavy objects, it will be fine. ”

"How long has Zhu'er been unconscious?"

"Back to the old lady, it's about twenty-five or six days. Those days were small, and they were like years. When the young master woke up, he was able to remove the splint of the chest guard, and there was no big problem, the old monk sent us down the mountain, and gave us some coils, and then we went back. ”

"Zhu'er, why don't you go to Yangzhou to find your uncle?" Mrs. Wang asked, "If you go to Yangzhou, your uncle can also help you find a doctor." ”

The son thought about it for a long time, and he was afraid that the family was already in a hurry. Besides, it was no longer the boundary of Yangzhou, and when I went back, I was afraid of encountering water bandits again, and I didn't have to pay for the journey, so I took the land route and followed a caravan back to Beijing. It was also more than a month along the way. Jia Zhu said.

This Jia Zhu said it simply, but everyone also knew that behind his words, they didn't know how much hard work there was. In the past, what a noble baby was in the house, but when he went out of the house and suffered a catastrophe, he was able to turn evil into good fortune, after all, it was just a pair of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, and it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to support each other to return home from thousands of miles away.

"Do you remember what your monk's name is, and what the temple name is?"

Jia Zhu thought for a while and said: "The old monk's Dharma name asked him, and he didn't say it, the name of the temple is called to go to the temple." I asked him what he meant, and he said that people come from where they come and go, and people go where they go. Therefore, this temple is called a temple. ”

Shi Fei'er was stunned for a moment and thoughtful. After hearing this, everyone comforted Jia Zhu for a long time, and then praised Zhou Quan.

Shi Fei'er said to Mrs. Zhang Wang'er: "In the past, Mrs. Zhou saved Hu'er, and today she has kept Zhu'er safe. Although he is a loyal servant, he is by no means a loyal word for the house. The two of you go and give their aunt and nephew a glass of wine, and they eat your respect. ”

Mother Jia's words made Mrs. Zhou get up busy, and waved her hand again and again: "The old lady should not be deserved, this is going to break the rules." ”

"Where to be. If you don't repay your kindness, this is the rules of the house. ”
