The next day, early in the morning, the sky was overcast. Fang Su accompanied the old lady to finish breakfast, and then the two got into the carriage.

Fang Su sat in the car with the old lady, he looked at the sky outside, and said with some worry, "Look at this day, it won't rain." ”

Old Madam Chu closed her eyes, turned the Buddha beads in her hand, and said, "It's not in the way." ”

Fang Su nodded, then lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage began to move towards the suburbs.

When Mrs. Chu went out this time, she didn't even bring her personal maid, she only asked a deaf and dumb coachman to catch the car, and then took Fang Su with her.

In fact, Fang Su was still very curious in his heart, but he was not easy to inquire, so he could only hold these words in his heart.

It was very warm in the carriage, Fang Su was swaying and drowsy in the carriage, Old Madam Chu opened her eyes and looked at Fang Su in front of her, her eyes were both loving and unspeakably sad, he didn't know anything, it was okay, but after all, he still had to take him to let them meet.

After the carriage left the city, it slowly became less crowded in the suburbs, and when Fang Su was sleeping, suddenly the carriage stopped with a shock, and Fang Su was instantly awakened, and suddenly thought in his mind, "It won't be a robbery."

Fang Su gave Old Man Chu a reassuring look, then lifted the curtain and jumped down.

"What's wrong?" He gestured at the coachman, who screamed "ahhhhh

Fang Su made a gesture to the deaf and dumb coachman to push the cart, and the coachman understood, and then Fang Su opened the curtain and said to the old lady sitting in the car, "The wheels of the carriage have fallen into a pit, or you come down first, and I will push the cart out with the coachman." ”

Old Madam Chu nodded, and then was helped down by Fang Su, "Be careful." Old Madam Chu admonished.

"It's okay" Fang Su smiled at Old Madam Chu, and then followed the coachman to the back of the carriage, and the two began to push the cart hard.

……

After pushing it for a long time, the car was still stuck in it and couldn't get out, Fang Su wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Can't you push it out?" Old Madam Chu asked.

Before Fang Su could speak, the deaf and dumb coachman pointed to the horse and shouted, "Ahhh

The coachman is more familiar with the horse than himself, and it is most suitable for him to lead the horse, probably Fang Su guessed the meaning of the horseman, he held the rope, pulled the horse, and Fang Su pushed it behind.

But it took a long time to push the car out, and then the old lady Chu stepped forward and said, "The place we are going to is not very far from here, why don't I go with Su'er, let the groom go back and find someone to come." ”

Fang Su thought, this is also an idea, this place is not very far from the city, the horseman went back to the general's mansion to call people, it is estimated that he and the old lady have also come back.

Fang Su began to compare with the groom again, but the groom couldn't understand what he meant, Mrs. Chu picked up a branch next to her and scratched on the ground, "Go home and call someone." ”

The coachman turned out to be literate, he nodded, and said "ahhhhhh

"Take out the baskets from the two carts." Old Madam Chu commanded.

Fang Su pulled out a basket from the car, the basket was tightly covered, and he couldn't see what was inside, it wasn't very heavy.

"Let's go." Fang Su said with the basket in his hand.

Old Madam Chu nodded, and walked with Fang Su like that place.

Fang Su originally thought that it would be very close, but he didn't expect that Old Madam Chu would go to that remote place with all kinds of crutches, and there was a mountain in front of it, could it be that Old Madam Chu wanted to take herself up the mountain.

After all, Old Madam Chu was old, and after walking for such a while, she couldn't breathe, she stopped to rest for a while, and said, "It's at the foot of the mountain, it's almost there." ”

Fang Su looked at Old Madam Chu's appearance, and said with some distress, "Mother-in-law, why don't we rest for a while, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it." ”

"It's okay," Old Madam Chu shook her head, "Let's go, it's just ahead." ”

The two of them began to walk towards the bottom of the mountain again.

After walking for a while, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, Fang Su found a quick stone, wiped it, and helped Old Madam Chu to sit down.

"Rest for a while, and we'll go into the mountains later."

"Ah, still going up the mountain?" Fang Su said in surprise: "Mother-in-law, does your friend live in the mountains?" ”

Old Madam Chu shook her head and said, "No, we will follow the mountain path and walk a few steps to get there." ”

Fang Su looked at the mountain in front of him, and sighed helplessly in his heart, forget it, it's all here.

Then he didn't care and found a place to sit down.

Old Madam Chu took out a handkerchief and prepared to wipe Fang Su's sweat, Fang Su said a little embarrassedly, "I'll come by myself, don't stain my stepmother's handkerchief with sweat." Then he took his sleeve and rubbed it casually.

Old Madam Chu smiled dotingly and shook her head, then sighed again, and didn't know whether it was to Fang Su or to herself, and whispered, "I don't know how happy they are to see you today, after so many years, it's time for them to put their minds at ease." ”

Fang Su didn't hear much clearly, and asked, "Stepmother, what are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing." Old Madam Chu closed her eyes and said, then opened her eyes and looked at Fang Su again, "Wait a minute, you want to kowtow to them a few more times, do you know?" ”

"Kowtow?" Although Fang Su had doubts in his heart, he still nodded meekly.

Old Madam Chu said that she was rested and could go up the mountain, Fang Su held the basket in one hand and the old lady in the other, and the two began to go up the mountain.

What Old Madam Chu said was right, she didn't walk up the mountain for a while, and she arrived at the place, Fang Su inquired curiously, this barren mountain and wild mountain didn't look like a person.

Old Madam Chu pointed to the two dirt bags in the bushes and said, "This is it."

Fang Su saw that there were actually two deserted tombs, hidden among the bushes, and he really couldn't see it if he didn't look carefully.

Fang Su broke those bushes aside, and then helped Old Madam Chu to walk in.

There is only one tombstone in front of the two tombs, which is not large, and only a simple sentence is written on it: "The tomb of the Muhammad couple"

"Come here," Old Madam Chu asked Fang Su to stand in front of the tombstone, and then said to him, "This is my old friend." ”

Fang Su's face was solemn and nodded.

"Kneel down and kowtow." Old Madam Chu said suddenly.

Fang Su had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't ask, the old lady asked him to kneel, and he knelt down seriously and kowtowed three times.

"Wenxiu" Old Madam Chu shouted, and then couldn't help but reddened her eyes, "I brought him over to see you husband and wife, so many years have passed, and I am getting older, and I can't come to see you frequently." ”

"It was our sin back then, and we actually watched you ......" Old Madam Chu said this, her voice choked, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and continued, "Fortunately, I found Su'er, and now he has grown up and entered our Chu family, you can rest assured, Su'er will be the child of our Chu family in the future, you can rest assured." Old Madam Chu said this, and tears fell again.

Although Fang Su was very curious in his heart, he knew that now was not a good opportunity to ask, so he stood up and gently patted Old Madam Chu on the back.

"Take out the contents of the basket." Old Madam Chu's voice was still nasal, Fang Su was gentle, and the two baskets were opened, and there were some straw paper incense candles inside.

Fang Su lit the two pieces of straw paper, then took out a sealed pot of wine in the basket, he opened the wine, poured it into the bowl, and respectfully placed it in front of the tomb.

Then he knelt and burned the straw paper, poured incense, and extinguished the surrounding sparks.

He looked at the two deserted graves in front of him and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, you two elders, I will live well." ”

When Old Madam Chu heard Fang Su say this, her tears fell again, although she didn't open her mouth to explain a word, Fang Su vaguely felt as if she understood something.

After packing up the things, Fang Su helped Old Madam Chu to prepare to go down the mountain, and walked to the place where he had just rested at the foot of the mountain, Fang Su took out some dry food from the package and said to Old Madam Chu, "Mother-in-law, you will eat some to cushion your stomach." ”

Old Madam Chu nodded and picked up the pancake in Fang Su's hand.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, danger suddenly appeared!
