Chapter 107: Attacked in the middle of the night
This night, the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and the maid here said that her chest hurt, her nose hurt, her shoulders hurt, and it hurt everywhere, so He Mulan could only endure it and sleep with her.
But the two still split their heads, although they were a quilt, not in the same direction.
Ah Danzhuo hurriedly rushed in, and when he saw the maid with a bloody face, he was so frightened that he thought it was a ghost, and when he figured out that he was accidentally injured by Hemulan, he clearly expressed his understanding.
With Aunt Hua's vigilance, it is normal for someone to suddenly appear in the house and be beaten. It's just that Aunt Hua is too cruel and even beats women.
Also, men are embarrassed to beat women, but Aunt Hua herself is a woman, but it doesn't matter......
Fortunately, Aunt Hua didn't go to be the nanny of His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise those women in the harem would have suffered. Look at the bloody price of this maid, the harem is so complicated, it is hard to guarantee that Aunt Hua will not be angry for a while and bloody the harem.
Shan Zhuo was stupidly persuaded to go back to the house, and then he remembered that he went to Aunt Hua's room because he also had a smooth woman in the quilt, Shan Zhuo thought much more than He Mulan, and his aunt kept telling him repeatedly that he was not his bride, and no one could bully, so he could only take out the velvet blanket in his luggage pitifully and nest in the corner of the house for a night.
As for what the maid in her quilt thinks about this party, no one knows.
Early the next morning, He Mulan, who didn't sleep well at all, and Adanzhuo, who was basically not asleep, couldn't wait to send off the two maids and made a decision in unison:
"Hurry up and go to the market to buy all the things, even if you climb today, you have to climb out of this house!"
Come back for a few more nights, and you'll be sleepy if you're not scared to death.
As long as He Mulan thinks that he has someone touching something to serve him when he goes to the toilet, he has goosebumps all over his body.
Big families don't know how to wipe their buttocks, and they have someone to serve them, right?
Do you want to think about life well?
"The two of you don't think the old and the old grandson are not well entertained, so they are in a hurry to leave?" Lou Lao asked He Mulan and Shan Zhuo with some sadness: "It's only been a day......
Gai Louhou muttered in his heart. Obviously, the girl who went to bed last night also rested all night, and she went back tired in the morning, and she should be very thoughtful in the evening.
Why do you have to leave after only one day?
"It's because Lou Lao took care of it too properly that we have to leave." He Mulan said with a smile: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and if you get used to such a day, you will not be able to live well in the future."
"It's just a few days of hospitality, where will a person's nature be shifted."
Lou Lao disagreed.
"If there is a comparison, there will be unwillingness, and the nature is removed little by little." He Mulan played Tai Chi with him, "What's more, we have to visit our friend's family, we will be relieved to go earlier."
Gai Louhou looked at He Mulan and Ah Shan Zhuo, who were wearing new clothes and robes, and knew that they must have gone to visit friends today, so he was not reluctant, but just touched his beard and showed a regretful expression.
"Well, I will not keep you if you have something to do, but you must have a guide when you go to prepare for the prayer today. You have a lot of luggage, plus gifts, a pack horse is definitely not enough, wait for me to ask the stables to set a cart for you, and then bring a groom, even if it is borrowed for you to use first, and when your things are delivered to the place, I will ask the groom to drive the horse back, okay?"
He Mulan and Shan Zhuo were overjoyed when they heard this, they were also having a headache about these problems, and they didn't expect that Lou Lao had all thought about them, so they didn't shirk at the moment, and immediately thanked them.
Gai Louhou originally wanted to accompany them for a stroll around Huguan City, but they were in such a hurry today, there must be some reason, so he didn't have to send it to beg for fun.
The two sides made friends with good voices, and the Marquis of Lou said that they would be friends in the future, and He Mullan must come often as a guest, and He Mullan promised to visit again when he returned, which was an agreement.
The Lou family drove a carriage and found a steward who was familiar with Huguan City to accompany them, and several people first went to the market to buy a few baskets of good charcoal, and bought sheep soup and other goods. The mutton here is quite famous, and He Mullan thought that the comrade had a son, and the young man loved meat, so he bought more.
There is also a thick kudzu cloth, satin that can make face for clothes and shoes, some of which are prepared in various colors, and most of the cart is full, and I also saw a seller of black pears on the road, which looks strange, and I also brought a basket.
The housekeeper is the steward of the Loulou Mansion who is responsible for purchasing things, and the things he bought with He Mulan are cheap and good, he is familiar with the way, and others have given He Mulan a lot of additions. Considering that the steward and the coachman had worked very hard all day today, He Mullan simply gave them all these additions, which can be regarded as a small profit.
You must know that in this era, there is no currency, everything can be traded, and giving something is equivalent to giving money.
Now everyone is happy, and they are working harder. When it was almost noon, a few people hastily ate a little, and the housekeeper went back to the building house to continue his errand, and the coachman led He Mulan and A Danzhuo to the small city and village.
The small city and village are in the east, and the east side is full of mountains and forests, and the terrain is also high, and the carriages and horses step on the dry pine needles and brown fallen leaves, all the way into the small city and village.
He Mulan relied on Mulan's memories to find the place where his comrade's family once lived, only to find that the house was dilapidated, and it seemed that there had been no one living in it for a long time. The door was locked with an iron lock, and the house was lifeless inside and out, and the dust on the lintel and window sill was an inch, so it didn't look like it was inhabited.
"Are we in the wrong place?" Edan Zhuo circled around the yard and behind the house, "There is not even a beast, there must be no inhabitants."
He Mulan is also puzzled, Mulan first. [,! The last time they came was ten years ago, and the last time they came was eight years ago, and during that time the family was still living here, but there was no one left.
"Let's find someone to ask."
So a group of people drove their chariots and horses around the countryside of the small city and village.
When they arrived in the small city and village, it was already afternoon, and it was getting dark when they could find no place to stay.
There is no need to go to the field in winter, because it is very cold outside, most of the farmers will not go out, and they can buy a few less winter clothes to keep warm at home, and if they wear less winter clothes, they can wear them for a few more years, so He Mulan and Shan Zhuo did not look for someone on the road, but found a family near the empty house and knocked on the door.
It's not easy to knock on the door, and it's hard to knock on a house, but it's closed.
"Dare to ask this old man, do you know where a family surnamed 'Qiulin' lives now? He is from a Xianbei family, and as far as I know, there is only this family surnamed Qiulin in the small city and township."
The old man was wearing a blue kudzu coat, and he looked very energetic, not like an ordinary ignorant old man. He Mulan first spoke in Chinese, and when he saw that he only looked at it but did not answer, he said it again in Xianbei dialect.
The old man didn't pay attention to her until he heard her say humble words, but he shook his head.
"There is no one with the surname 'Qiu Lin' here, you must have found the wrong one."
"How can you find the wrong one? Qiu Lin Mo Zhen was buried as a general, and he should have some reputation in small cities and villages. I am his former comrade, and I have come to pay my respects to him, and I will pay a visit to his family."
Unexpectedly, as soon as He Mulan's words came out, the old man immediately blew his beard and glared.
"I said no, no, there is no one with the surname Chulin here. Dead, all dead! "
He Mulan's heart thumped, and the whole person was not good.
"How could they all be dead? In the second half ......of the year before last, I dragged a friend to send a lot of things, and it was still good at that time," He Mulan's eyes widened in disbelief, "How did you die?" Are his wife and son dead?"
"What are you doing to come to my door and say this? Bad luck! The old man snorted and slammed the door shut.
"Aunt Hua, how is it?" Ah Danzhuo waited outside the courtyard gate for a while, and when he saw He Mulan walking out as if sleepwalking, he hurriedly asked.
"Dead, said they were all dead."
He Mulan hung his head, his whole being full of remorse.
Could it be that she didn't send anything for half a year, and his wife and children starved to death?
No, his son is already an adult, how can he not starve his mother to death. So why did the whole family die? Qiu Lin Mo Zhen still has a brother living here, why is this house empty and there is no one?
How the hell did he die?
"How can you die? Are you sick?" Shan Zhuo was also taken aback, "Did you ask clearly?"
"The old man kicked me out."
"Then let's ask a few more questions, we can always ask, right?"
He Mullan perked up a little and nodded.
"Yes, let's ask more."
This small city and township is different from Yingguo Township, where He Mulan lives, here is close to Pingcheng, there are many Xianbei people, Xianbei people like bright colors, so they like to smear the vermilion grass green and other colors when building houses, He Mulan counted on Qiu Lin is a Xianbei person, and he is also a Xianbei person, looking at the face of the same clan, he picked the house of the Xianbei person to ask, but an hour passed, these people either directly said that they didn't know, or sent her out in a good voice, and told her to go to someone else's house to ask.
He Mulan was at a loss for what he asked, and he was angry, and he suddenly frowned, and said angrily: "I actually ran away in vain, this group of neighbors is not harmonious at all, and the death of the Qiu Lin family so silently must have something to do with their indifference, or they have done something wrong and have a weak heart."
In ancient times, the countryside was pedantic, maybe the mother and son were driven out and died of some disease. He Mullan shuddered at the thought of such a possibility.
"So what now?"
Edan Zhuo looked at the coachman behind him. The coachman was in a hurry than they did, and he was in charge of delivering the things to the ground, and he had to rush back to the building house before dark, but he found the place, but he couldn't find anyone.
"Let's go, go to Qiu Lin Mo Zhen's grave. I remember it was on a hillside not far from here." He Mulan gritted his teeth, "Everyone is dead, and they must be buried in peace, right?" I'm going to burn something and burn everything I can for their families! "
The leg of mutton can't be burned, so she burns some cloth for her comrades and his family to use at the head office, right?
They drove the car, rode the horse, and followed some memories of Hua Mulan to find Qiu Lin Mo Zhen's grave. Qiu Lin Mo Zhen was buried according to the general's ceremony, so the cemetery covers a huge area, there are yang house and yin house, the yin house is underground, it is a tomb with a tomb chamber and a tomb road, and the yang house is on the ground, and it is inhabited by the tomb keeper on weekdays.
It's just that although Qiu Lin Mo Zhen was buried with the gift of a general, he was not a general after all, but just a general, and his family did not have much money, so there were no slaves to guard the tomb all year round.
He Mulan originally thought that he would come all the way to the cemetery, but he couldn't run in vain, and the living people didn't see it, so it was okay to pay tribute and clean up the grass in the cemetery for his old friend. They came prepared, the sacrificial water, wine, paper, incense and candles brought everything, and the Xianbei people also liked to burn clothes, and they also brought clothes.
Because Qiu Lin Mo Zhen's grave is larger than everyone else, so this dirt mountain is only Qiu Lin Mo Zhen's tomb, He Mulan let the carriage stop at the bottom of the mountain, and Edan Zhuo led the horse, with the sacrificial things step by step to the mountain.
It's getting late, and if you can't go back later, you may have to find someone to spend the night in a small city or village. [,! It's just that He Mulan has been very disappointed with these villagers in the small city and township, and he would rather live in Qiu Lin Mo Zhen's Yang Mansion than use their house, so he can only move faster.
Fortunately, He Mulan was infinitely powerful, and he walked on the ground with a lot of things, and the two of them arrived at the grave of Qiu Lin Mo Zhen, but found that the road was clean and clean, and there were no weeds at all.
"Aunt Hua, this doesn't look like it's not tidy up." Ah Danzhuo looked at the white tomb not far away, and asked some strange questions.
"You said, his family is estimated to have died in the past two years, and if the tomb is reopened for joint burial, it must be sorted out, right?" He Mulan was irritable, and he became impatient when he talked to Shan Zhuo. It must have been me, if only I had come here more than half a year ago. Even if something happens to Chen Jie, I can come by myself. I just don't care about it......"
"Wasn't Aunt Hua sick at that time?" Shan Zhuo could only pale in comfort. This can only be blamed on God's lack of eyes, and even such a hero has not been ......"
He Mulan did not make a sound, but continued to walk forward with his things, and for a while, only the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of the wind whistling on the remote hill could be heard on the dirt slope.
But even the sound of horses' hooves alarmed someone.
A woman in a cloth dress and a hairpin skirt heard movement outside, and walked out of the yang house on the ground of the tomb, looked up, and asked from a distance:
"Is the leopard back?" !!
Why is there a woman on the side of the tomb?
Could it be daylight?
