Just as he was responding to the steward, the sound of horses' hooves sounded over there, and Du Qi came out of nowhere, frowning, his face was not very good-looking, he raised his head towards the way he came, and said in a deep voice: "Seven...... Lang, please come with me. ”

Mu Qing sent the steward indiscriminately, and turned over again.

He led Mu Qing all the way to a small village on the other side of the lake, and when he left the fortified site, he said in a muffled voice: "I found the family that moved out last...... Now the house and land are gone, so I have to stay at a relative's house for the time being. ”

It was only five or six miles away, and while talking, the three of them disappeared into a village that was not large. Du Qi familiarly brought them to a small courtyard, the owner of the small courtyard had received a small gold cake from Du Qi before, so he was particularly attentive, and led his son to guard at the gate, and when he saw people coming, the father and son hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse and welcomed them into the small courtyard.

No matter how ordinary the small courtyard of the farmhouse was, there was nothing abnormal, if it weren't for the suppressed moan that suddenly came from the east wing, Mu Qing would almost have believed the words of the steward.

Du Qi pointed to the place where the moan came from, his face was not very good-looking, and whispered: "It is there, when the lady enters...... Be careful. ”

When Mu Qing entered the house, he understood what Du Qi meant by "pay attention". Although the inside of the room was darker than the outside, the horror and panic on the faces of several people in the room could be clearly distinguished. The older woman bowed her head and did not dare to look at the people who had entered the room, and another young woman put her arms around her young son, who was dazed and confused, and on the bedding that could barely be called a bed made of a few planks, a man in his fifties had a pale face, and the bitter moan that had just come from him was probably from him.

There was a smoky smell in the room, but the people didn't seem to smell it at all.

The young man sitting on the edge of the bed jumped up in surprise when he saw Mu Qing at first glance, and stood in front of the bed in a panic. Because he got out of the way, Mu Qingfang saw the person lying on the bed clearly, and she was also so shocked that she took half a step back. But I saw that his two legs were exposed, and a large area of blood red covered his legs, and the blood red was mixed with mottled yellow and green.

Du Qi followed Mu Qing into the house, and the man who stood up in a panic seemed to be relieved when he saw Du Qi, and bowed to Du Qi and said, "Engong." ”

"It's really pitiful, I gave them a few pieces of money, so that I could teach them to extend their medical medicine, so as to save their lives." Duzzy explained quietly, a sigh in his voice.

Mu Qing nodded, soothed his face, and said softly to the man: "Don't be afraid, I am not in the same group as those wicked people who persecuted you, and you don't have to ask me who I am, I think my steward has already told you." ”

The man nodded indifferently, but a trace of resentment and hope rose in his eyes, "Steward Ah Lang is so merciful, presumably the head of the family is even more benevolent and charitable, and he will not be in the same ditch as the murderous and domineering Yin family." This Ah Lang wants to know something, just ask, Hu must know everything. ”

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, listening to his tone, this didn't seem to be an ordinary country man. Du Qi came out of the corner of the room with a bench, Mu Qing turned around and sat down, and reached out to the man surnamed Hu, "Please." ”

Seeing that he had calmed down and was still sitting on the edge of the couch, Mu Qing glanced around the two women in the room who had also calmed down, and said, "It's not that I deliberately hide my identity, but I think about everyone's safety in real time, and it's inconvenient to disclose it." If you can trust it, I hope to be considerate, and tell me about the before and after the Yin clan's occupation of this place. ”

The man thought about it for a while, his brows gradually twisted into three vertical lines, and he took a deep breath, "A certain talent, I also went to school for a few years, because my family was in the middle of the road, and there was no way to fight in the war, so I was cold-minded, and I went back to my hometown to live in these thin fields." The man sat in the darkness, his eyes dimmed, and he said calmly and coldly.

Sure enough, it was not an ordinary man, Mu Qing nodded in his heart, and he was polite in his strange conversation, and the path was clear.

"Although it is harder, the family is tidy, and life can be regarded as good." The man lying on the wooden couch suddenly snorted twice in a dull voice, and called "Da Lang" vaguely, probably in pain. The man turned around and shook his hand, "Daddy, Daddy, but it hurts so much?" Mu Qing couldn't help but cast his eyes and glanced at his legs with festering flesh and pus and blood, and his heart jumped.

The good words comforted him a few words, and when his father fell asleep again, Hu Dalang turned around, stared at the ground with a pair of eyes, and continued the previous words, and the hatred in his voice became a little stronger. "Somehow, one day, Li Zheng came to the house, saying that our family's few bad houses were hindering the official fortifications, and now the official family promised to compensate for the compensation and buy the house. The head said well, ten taels per person. In this world, no matter how big or small, the officials have always had the final say, so how can the people fight for it? That's fine, I privately thought about the money I had promised, and I would look for a good place, and when I changed my register, I moved there. ”

Hu Dalang sneered twice, "I should have expected that under the layers of exploitation, there would be no way for our people to live, and the ten yuan would ...... Don't say ten threads, even half of them I haven't seen them. I originally said that I would wait until the money was in my pocket before I could move my family away, but who knows, I didn't wait for a penny, but waited for this catastrophe. Not to mention that the house was burned, my father walked a little slower because of a leg disease, and he became like this......"

The second half of his words were swallowed back into his throat along with the choking, and after a long time, Fang cleared his throat and said: "For now, I have to temporarily settle in my uncle's house, which is not a long-term plan, and I don't have to worry about the future." As he spoke, he looked back at his father, lowered his head and sighed, "I also blame me for my inability to protect my family, and I am ashamed to give birth to a seven-foot man." ”

Mu Qing didn't say anything for a long time, and after a while, it seemed that his mind was drifting away from a distance, and he seemed to be muttering to himself, "How can this complain about you, the powerful are unkind, and the people are used as dogs." You blindly blame yourself, and the really hateful ones on the other side are still happy to live......" She flashed back to her senses, sighed deeply and sat up straight, "There are not many good doctors in this country, persuade your father to support it, and in two days I will send a doctor to come over to take a look, and when he is better, I will make another plan." ”

"This ......" Hu Dalang stood up hesitantly, his face full of hesitation, "This ignorant person is ashamed." ”

Mu Qing tilted his head, crossed him, and glanced indifferently behind him, "Even if you don't dare to be, have you ever thought about it for a family of old and young women and children?" ”

That Hu Dalang frowned deeply and bowed his head and said nothing. Mu Qing guessed that after this fire, he was probably afraid, and he was an unknown person to him, so he was naturally worried, so she also stood up and patted her wrinkled robe casually, "Before, you lived your own life with your family, who have you ever provoked?" What have you ever done? Disaster came out of nowhere, and you could have avoided it? The world is unfair, and the more you fear, the more you come. Wouldn't it be better if you could not lead your family to avoid trouble, but if you stood before them and prevented it before it came to you? ”

Mu Qing just tried to guess his thoughts, but he didn't guess half a point, that Hu Dalang raised his head and stared at her suspiciously several times, and then turned back to look at his dying father on the couch, and the panicked mother and wife and children in the corner one by one, and finally made up his mind and bowed to Mu Qing, "What Madame said is extremely true, and I am being taught." Madame's kindness is disrespectful, and she is not grateful, and if she is sent, Madame will not flinch even though she speaks, and she will not flinch after the saddle and the horse. ”

Mu Qing was a little surprised, his eyebrows couldn't help but gather, and he stretched out again, the corners of his lips slowly curled to both sides, and two smiles comparable to spring flowers melted at the corners of his mouth, and he nodded with great satisfaction.

Before leaving, Mu Qing ordered Du Qi to leave a few pieces of money, and instructed Hu Dalang not to go outside to speak, and rarely show up, only take care of his father at home, and wait for the doctor to come to the door. Hu Dalang thanked them again and again and sent them to the entrance of the village.

After running out of more than two miles, Du Qi finally couldn't help it, approached Mu Qing's side and asked, "Lady, that Hu Dalang is so strange." ”

"What's weird?"

"The lady is clearly dressed as a man, there is nothing wrong with the clothes and hair, and at the beginning he also called the lady Ah Lang, how did he teach him to see that he was a lady, and changed his words?"

Mu Qing tightened the reins in his hand and glanced back with a smile, "It's not for him to see it." Women wear men's clothes, it is not difficult to distinguish, those who can't be distinguished, either they have not paid attention, or they are unwilling to turn their brains, and then they are timid and humble, and dare not look directly. That Hu Dalang can see that I am a woman who is dressed as a man, which can prove that he is not among these three categories, or he wants to sue me, he is enough to be worthy of me. ”

Du Qi touched his head, thought about it carefully, there was still a little mess in his mind, and when he was about to ask again, Ada caught up from behind and stretched out his hand to pat him, "When I go back to Chang'an, I can't ask how many things, but I am stunned halfway here." delayed the return of time, and taught the doubts about those good things in Chang'an City. ”

As soon as Du Qi looked up, he saw that his wife had run away. Thinking about it again, I'm afraid I can't think of it for a while, he shook his head helplessly, shook off the mess in his mind, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and hurried forward.

How did he know that at this moment, in the heart of his lady, he longed for the horse to give birth to a pair of wings and fly back to Chang'an quickly. It has been three days since I went out, no matter how bright the spring is along the way, no matter how sultry the warm breeze is, it can't reach the pair of crystal clear eyes at home, bees and butterflies flying, and birds singing tactfully, and they can't compare with the tender and soft babbling sound.

Thinking of these, Mu Qing felt comfortable in his heart, and urged the horse again and again. The sound of horses' hooves was tight, and the grass blades beside the official road quietly stretched into the middle of the road, and the horses' hooves stepped on the grass juice and leaves, startling several pink butterflies.
