Chapter III

Taking advantage of the time of the six sons to set the ox cart, Su Yan went back to the house again, packed a basket of herbs and prepared to take them down to sell along the way, seeing that after a while, a batch of herbs in the backyard should be collected again, and there would be no place at home if she didn't vacate a little space.

The six sons drove the ox cart and the two of them just arrived at the foot of the mountain, a carriage came at the fork in the road, and the person who drove the car was an old man with gray hair. ”

The sixth son hurriedly stopped the ox cart, and Su Yan approached the carriage to greet the old man, and her tone revealed familiarity and closeness: "Uncle Jin." ”

Jin Bo jumped out of the carriage: "Miss Su went to the town to sell herbs?" ”

Su Yan turned her head to look at Zhong Kang in the car: "The main thing is to ask Mrs. Tang for something." ”

Jin Bo Dale: "It seems that I am just in time!" My young master accidentally fell into the water two days ago and got cold, and the fever has not subsided, but the doctor invited him, and the prescription was also opened, but Miss Su, you also know my young master...... Madame really couldn't help it, so she ordered me to pick up Miss Su. He followed Su Yan's line of sight to look at the ox cart and hesitated: "Miss Su, look, my wife is really anxious...... Why don't you take a carriage with me first, and the two sons will walk slowly behind? ”

Seeing Su Yan coming over, the sixth son hurriedly said, "Doctor Su, just rest assured to go with the old man!" I'm right behind! ”

He patted his chest and assured that Zhong Kang, who was sitting in the back, was not happy, and stood up from the ox cart and looked at Su Yan condescendingly, and the big horn expressed his dissatisfaction.

This Jin Bo Dou Xian in front of him is very familiar, and there is no other reason, just because the young master of his family is a person who Dou Xian hated in his previous life, and his little wife was extremely gentle with that person in his previous life! If it weren't for that person, Dou Xian wouldn't have thought of pretending to be a fool to win Su Yan's sympathy.

It's just that......

Dou Xian secretly wondered in his heart, in his previous life, his little wife had known him for a long time before he saved the man who almost died under the horse's hooves, why did this life seem to be a lot earlier? Could it be that something else happened that he didn't know?

Although Dou Xian's doubts were better concealed, with Su Yan's gaze, it seemed that Zhong Kang was simply venting her dissatisfaction, she slowed down her voice to comfort him: "Zhong Kang, I have something very urgent here, can you play with Liuzi first?" I'll get to you soon, huh? ”

Perhaps it was Su Yan's soft and slow words that worked, and Zhong Kang finally compromised and watched Su Yan get into Jin Bo's carriage with a dissatisfied expression.

The wheels were rolling, the dust was all the way, and after about an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a Zhuangzi, and Uncle Jin lifted the curtain: "Miss Su, it's here." ”

Jin Bo led Su Yan directly into the backyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a young man squatting under the locust tree in the courtyard wearing only a middle coat, letting the young woman next to him dissuade him, how anxious the maids next to him were, the young man just didn't say a word, and looked at the ants intently.

The owner of this Zhuangzi is a widowed woman in her early thirties, and there is only one son Tang Yinchu under her knees.

Helplessly, Tang Yin hurt his head for the first time, and since then his mind has stayed at the age of seven or eight, and he has not improved in the slightest over the years, and there is an injury from time to time, because Su Yan has not come to the Tang family for the past two years, and the Tang family knows her.

"Miss Su is here!" A maid shouted.

Su Yan stepped forward, and Mrs. Tang smiled apologetically at her: "I'm going to trouble Miss Su again." ”

"Ayan!" Without waiting for Su Yan to answer, the young man who was squatting on the ground slammed into Su Yan's arms, wrapped his limbs around Su Yan's body, and hugged her like a koala.

Su Yan was obviously used to dealing with such a situation, she stood firm with the locust tree next to her, and let Tang Yinchu rub the side of her neck a few times before she spoke: "Ah Chu, you are not well-behaved." ”

The heat on his body was amazing, and even his cheeks were a little red, and if he didn't press it down, he was afraid that something would happen.

"Nope! Ah Chu is very well-behaved and obedient! Tang Yinchu shouted loudly in Su Yan's ear, as if he could persuade Su Yan if his voice was louder than Su Yan.

I know Ah Chu's temperament in my heart, the more you persecute with a tough attitude, the more he will resist, just like a child, you have to follow the hair. Su Yan's movements became more and more gentle, and she raised her hand to stroke the top of Tang Yinchu's hair: "I know that Ah Chu is very well-behaved, but Uncle Jin said that you refused to drink medicine." ”

Tang Yin got down from Su Yan at the beginning, his eyes glazed over: "Their medicine is too bitter...... and he didn't forget to glare at Uncle Jin who "betrayed" him.

Su Yan smiled and threw out her bait at the right time: "You drink the medicine well, I'll ask someone to buy you your favorite caramel candy, okay?" ”

"Good!" Tang Yinchu nodded obediently.

Su Yan took his hand and walked into the room and asked him to sit on the bed: "Then I'll go and boil medicine for you, you sit here obediently and wait." ”

It was easy to coax Tang Yinchu, Su Yan walked out of the inner room, Mrs. Tang sat outside with a plate of caramel in her hand, and when she came out, Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Miss Su has a way." ”

Tang Yinchu, as Mrs. Tang's only son, wants to eat caramel is a simple thing, the important thing is Su Yan. Since Tang Yinchu broke his brain six years ago, only Su Yan can coax him to do what he doesn't want to do, and change others, even Mrs. Tang.

Su Yan pursed her lips and smiled without responding, sat in the seat where Mrs. Tang was in charge, picked up the pen and rewrote a prescription and handed it to the maid to let her take it down and decoct the medicine.

"I heard Uncle Jin say that Miss Su has something to do? I don't know what's going on? Mrs. Tang took the initiative to provoke the conversation.

Su Yan said slightly, and after considering one or two before speaking: "That's the case, I saved someone from the mountain a few days ago, but this person is mentally incomplete and doesn't know where his home is......"

Hearing Su Yan say that there was a person who was as mentally imperfect as her only son, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but straighten her sitting posture, and she was more attentive to what Su Yan said.

"Now I only know that his name is Zhong Kang, so I want to ask Mrs. Tang to help inquire if there is a family surnamed Zhong who is looking for someone."

After Su Yan finished speaking, Mrs. Tang said: "This is also easy, but it may take some time, can Miss Su wait a few days?" ”

As she spoke, she summoned someone to come in and give one or two, and the servant quickly took the order and left.

Su Yan got up and bowed to Mrs. Tang: "Thank you Mrs. Tang first." ”

Mrs. Tang hurriedly stepped forward to help her, took her hand and said, "Miss Su, don't be polite, Ah Chu will trouble Miss Su in the future......"

***

Besides, Zhong Kang always sat on the ox cart with a puff, and Ren Liuzi didn't care how he teased him.

"You said that you are a fool and you still know beauty and ugliness, so you have to follow Doctor Su......" Liuzi turned around and talked to Zhong Kang while driving the ox cart.

Zhong Kang seemed to be still angry with Su Yan, immersed in his own world, and didn't look at Liuzi, let alone talk to him.

The sixth son didn't care, and said to himself: "Actually, I also think that Dr. Su is beautiful, I haven't studied, I don't know those words, if you want me to say, Dr. Su is in our town, oh no!" In the county! The best-looking man in the county! Speaking of Xingtou, he raised the branch in his hand and slapped the cow's butt twice: "Hey! You just didn't know! Many people in our village and neighboring villages want to marry Dr. Su home to be a mother-in-law! ”

"It's not like □□ lazy want to eat swan meat!" The sixth son sneered and said: "My aunt said that Doctor Su will definitely marry the eldest master in the future!" You can't even be a concubine! That's got to be the main room! Aunt Liu said the same thing! ”

As he spoke, he turned around and elbowed Ding Zhongkang: "Hey! You say yes or no! ”

Zhong Kang let out a "hum" in his nose and moved to the side, still ignoring the six sons.

"Hey! No, I said you fool, why are you so arrogant! The sixth son chirped: "If you have the backbone, you will be angry with Doctor Su!" Why are you angry with me here! ”

"Lady......" Zhong Kang suddenly turned his head angrily.

The rest of the words of the six sons choked back: "What? What do you say? ”

"She, I, lady......" Zhong Kang said intermittently.

Liuzi scratched his head for a long time and finally understood what he meant, the ox cart suddenly stopped, both of them pounced forward, Liuzi hurriedly stabilized, and looked at Zhongkang with an expression like eating a fly: "You said that Dr. Su is your lady?!" ”

Zhong Kang showed a smug look on his face and nodded vigorously.

"Poofhaha!" Liuzi laughed out loud and pointed at Zhong Kang: "Do you know what a lady is, dare to say that Dr. Su is your lady!" What a fool! ”

He sat in front of the ox cart and smiled to himself, not seeing the darkening faces of the people sitting behind him.

Suddenly! "Poof", the six sons who were laughing energetically fell off the carriage, threw themselves on the ground face down and fell into the mud, he got up and patted the soil on his body and got on the ox cart again, muttering: "Why is it suddenly lumbar numb, I haven't done anything recently, what's going on......"

The ox cart traveled for two hours to reach the county seat, which was much more lively than the town, and the hawkers on both sides of the street were shouting one after another.

The six sons grew up so big that they came to the county seat only a handful of times, and they drove the ox cart and grinned at the various stalls on the side of the road.

Looking at it, he slapped his head and exclaimed, "Oops! Why don't you forget about business! We're going to Tang's house to find Dr. Su. ”

The sixth son drove the ox cart to a corner at the city gate, turned around and told Zhong Kang repeatedly: "You sit here!" Don't run around, you won't be able to get it back if you lose it! Don't run around! ”

Seeing Zhongkang nodding, he was relieved to ask for directions.

Although the Tang family is a small rich family in the county, it is also much more low-key because of Mrs. Tang's widowhood, because many people don't know the Tang family, and the sixth son finally asked in a shop, and he also repeatedly determined that the Tang family in the shopkeeper's mouth was the one with a stupid young master before he was relieved to go back.

It was the time to catch the market, the streets were bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, one by one, and the six sons took a lot of effort to squeeze out of the crowd, who knew that they were dumbfounded when they raised their eyes.

His old ox was flicking its tail impatiently to drive away the ubiquitous flies, and the cart behind it was empty!

Liuzi hurriedly rushed over, and after looking around several times, he couldn't see Zhongkang's shadow.

He lost the fool!

The six sons and six gods had no owner, and they squatted in place with their heads in their hands and were depressed.

***

It was easy to coax Tang Yinchu to finish drinking the medicine, eat candy with him for a while, and when he fell asleep, Su Yan quietly withdrew from the bedroom, and as soon as she got out of the yard, she saw a servant leading the six sons with a bitter face to this side.

Su Yan stepped forward, but felt that something was wrong: "Sixth son, what about Zhongkang?" ”

The sixth son knelt down with a puff: "Doctor Su! I, I'm sorry for you! I lost people! ”

"Lost?" Su Yan was incredulous: "How could it be lost?" ”

Liuzi's face turned red: "I, I parked the ox cart in the open space to ask for directions, and when I came back, I didn't see anyone......" He searched the whole street and didn't find anyone.

The sixth son pounded the ground in annoyance, and couldn't help blaming himself, Su Yan didn't care about him, hurriedly turned around and walked into the courtyard, and almost bumped into Mrs. Tang who heard the sound.

"Mrs. Tang, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again."

Mrs. Tang had already heard the maid tell her what had happened, and she said softly, "I'll order someone to find it." ”

Su Yan was persuaded by Mrs. Tang to sit in the middle of the house, and waited until dusk, when the maid who was waiting in the house lit the yarn lantern with a fire fold, and the fire swayed and the figure was shining.

Throughout the afternoon, Su Yan's brows never relaxed, and she waited restlessly for news.

It's a pity that the people who went out to look for people came back again and again, but there was still no news.

The last group of people came back, and it was the same result.

Su Yan's spine, which had been tense all afternoon, suddenly relaxed, and her eyebrows were dyed with a thick sadness.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tang comforted her: "Miss Su, don't worry, it's getting late today, so it's better to stay with me first, and I'll let them continue to look for them tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Su Yan reluctantly smiled at Mrs. Tang: "Mrs. trouble." ”

***

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Su Yan got up and went out with the servants of the Tang Mansion to find someone.

The streets and alleys were rummaged over and over again, not even a single corner was spared, but there was no one to be seen who would grin at her.

At noon, several fast horses galloped into the city gate and galloped straight into the yamen.

Before long, the yamen caught the fish quickly, all with joy on their faces, and pasted notices all over the city.

Literate people crowded to the front to browse a day or two, and then loudly told everyone the contents of the notice: "The barbarians handed down the book and begged for peace!" Northern Xinjiang is settled! ”

Although Yangle County is still some distance away from the border city, these days have not been affected by the war, but the people will always be afraid that one day the barbarian iron horse will step into the door, and now hearing the news, they are naturally happy.

Someone in the roadside tea shop drank a large bowl of tea and discussed the battle loudly.

"I heard my brother who was a soldier say that we were all going to lose, and guess what! Our Prime Minister Dou Cheng has 3,000 elite soldiers, and that is to smash the enemy's den! Poked the little man's old camp! Hey! The old base camp is gone, you say that the barbarians are still fighting ghosts! Of course, clamp your ass and get out of here! ”

"Ryoko, what you said is true? Then Prime Minister Dou is so powerful? ”

"It's not true! Prime Minister Dou Cheng was seriously injured because of this! Anything else can deceive people, and the injuries on the body can not be faked! ”

"You want me to say! The biggest hero this time is the prime minister! Without him, where would he have been able to repel the barbarians so quickly! ”

"The third child is right! If you want to talk about our prime minister, it is Wen Taowuluo, the stars in the sky are mortal! ”

"That's not it! Otherwise, how could he be a prime minister in his early twenties! can make those old shows die of shame! ”

"Hey! I heard that the prime minister is very handsome? Really? The proprietress of the tea shop twisted her thin waist to add a stack of peanuts to a few people, and asked in a low voice with a wink.

"What! Boss, you still want to marry the prime minister and be a mother-in-law! A Chinese character laughed roughly.

The proprietress was poked in the heart, and she scolded and turned around and retreated.

The rest of the group laughed and slammed the table.

Su Yan listened to it for a moment or two when she passed by, although she was happy that the border war was calm, but it was not easy to go, seeing that half a day was about to pass again, Zhong Kang had not found it yet.

Yangle County is close to the border city, and the people who come and go are mixed, if Zhongkang accidentally offends someone......

Su Yan didn't dare to think about it, and kept walking outside the city, just hoping to find Zhongkang outside the city.

It wasn't until the night was dark that Su Yan dragged her tired body back to Tang's house, she had already searched all the places she could find around, her feet were sore, and her voice was hoarse, but she still didn't find anyone, and she didn't even see a shadow.

Su Yan was lying on the bed, obviously tired to the extreme, but her brain was very clear, and she looked at the carvings on the top of the bed with her eyes open.

After a long time, a low sigh broke the silent night, and Su Yan turned over and closed her eyes.

She has done everything she can do, and the rest depends on his creation.
