Chapter 272: Human life is not precious
Maishan, Zhengjiazhuang.
There was a smell of medicine wafting from an old courtyard in Zhuangnan, and in front of the couch in the east house, a woman looked at the door worriedly.
There is a plain curtain in front of the couch, the emerald green color makes the girl on the couch yellow and thin, but the state of lying quietly is like a green bamboo facing the wind, and the posture of Ling Shuang is not reduced in the illness, even if the plain clothes are in the body, the coldness between the eyebrows and eyes is like a sword, and the edge is self-generated, which is intimidating.
The woman did not dare to look at it for a long time, and her eyes fell on the battle robe piled up at the foot of the couch, the robe was torn, the blood was dry, but the smell of the fish could still be smelled.
A child sat at the foot of the couch, guarding the changed blood robe and the man on the couch. The boy was only five or six years old, dressed in a bearded robe and wrapped in a splendor and holding an intricately carved scimitar.
The children of the Hu people......
The knife in the child's hand was unsheathed, but his gaze remained unsucked, and his eyes were reminiscent of wolves in the mountains.
The woman remembered that her father-in-law, whom she had no chance to meet, died at the hands of the Hu people, and tonight the family took in a Hu person's child, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ahem!"
There was a low cough outside the screen, and the woman was startled, and when she turned around, her waist was slightly visible, and she saw that she was pregnant.
Zheng Angelica was holding a medicine bowl outside the screen, and when he saw his wife coming out, he said in a low voice: "The medicine has been warmed, and the governor ...... Is the girl sleeping? ”
"Sleep." Su Shi took the medicine bowl, glanced at the screen, put the medicine bowl on the table, whispered to the husband and led Zheng Danggui to the outside of the house.
Zheng Angelica saw his wife's worried face, knew what was going on, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he comforted: "There is a mother and a husband at home, don't worry." ”
"But the concubine looks at this girl's extraordinary appearance, which is not what ordinary women can have."
"That's why her words are somewhat credible." If she is an ordinary woman, how dare she ignore the etiquette and law, join the army and enter the court, and do what women in the world dare not do? Besides, the three-grade general's robe, the waist card of the Governor's Mansion and the sailor's talisman are all genuine, if the person in the house is not the Governor of Yingrui, how can she have the ability to steal these military aircraft and belongings, and how can she detail the opening of the coffin that day?
"If the husband believes it, have you ever thought about it......" Su Shi wanted to speak and stopped, glanced back at the room, and after struggling and weighing, he finally lowered his voice and said, "It is a capital crime for a woman to be an official, and she should be convicted of taking in the offender, and the crime should be sitting!" ”
The woman's voice was very low, but it was like thunder, and the cold wind of the spring night blew the hearts of the people.
Zheng Angelica looked at Su's family, and saw that Su's face was red and ashamed, but when she looked down and saw the bulging belly, she had to bury her guilt deep in her heart, "My father-in-law passed away early, and my mother-in-law worked hard to raise her two sons to adulthood, and now my husband and uncle have become married, and my husband has the name of a good doctor. Although fame and fortune can be given up in the future, how can the lives of a family be sacrificed? The mother-in-law is very old, her children are still young, and the concubine still has unborn children in her womb...... Husband, the governor is kind to our Zheng family, should our Zheng family take the lives of the children of the family to pay back? ”
Zheng Angelica was speechless for a while, Su Shi saw that he was touched, and said in a low voice: "Besides, the husband has also seen that the child with this girl is not from Daxing, if she is really the governor, she should regard the Hu people as enemies, why would she take the Hu people's children with her?" My father-in-law died at the hands of the Hu people! ”
Su's words were all reasonable, Zheng Angelica was conflicted, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he only said: "Let the girl take the medicine, and ask when she wakes up." ”
"Husband! When the girl was changing her clothes, the concubine saw that she was covered with bruises, and recalled that the battle robe was tattered, and guessed that she must have been hunted down and fled all the way to our house. Who knows who is chasing her? If it's someone from the government, what if you find the village tonight? This matter cannot be delayed, make a decision as soon as possible! ”
Su Shi persuaded bitterly, and as soon as the words fell, the door creaked open.
"I'm looking forward to the arrival of the official soldiers, but unfortunately if someone comes tonight, most of them will be Liao soldiers." The sound of the door was long, and a clear sound was like the sound of a broken string, piercing the spring breeze in the quiet night.
Zheng Angelica and Su were both stunned, and saw Dusk Qing standing at the door in plain clothes, the green tiles covering the fine starlight, but they couldn't hide the girl's star-like eyes. The eyes are clear and clear, don't say sleepy, even if you are sick, even if you are riddled with injuries, you will not lose your edge at all.
Su couldn't hide his panic, I don't know how much Twilight heard it, whether he had just woken up or hadn't slept at all, only to see the Hu man child beside Twilight, holding a scimitar in his hand, and the cold light seemed to have picked up the Nine Heavens Silver Hook in his hand at a glance, which made people shudder.
"What's wrong?" At this moment, a woman heard a voice in the courtyard, came out of the main house to look, and gasped when she saw the scimitar in Huyan Charee's hand.
The woman was about forty or fifty years old, and it was Zheng Angelica's mother, Wang.
Twilight sought medical treatment late at night, and the identity of the dress shocked the Zheng family, Zheng Angelica and his wife gave up the east house to settle Twilight, and a pair of children were carried to their own house by the Wang family because of crying, and they wanted to wait for the children to sleep before discussing the matter, but they didn't expect to hear someone talking in the yard, and they came out to take a look, and they were startled.
"Mother, big brother, what is this?"
"Yikes!"
At this time, a young couple walked out of the west room, looking no longer than the twilight youth, and they were both shocked to see the situation in the courtyard.
"Dusk girl......" Zheng Angelica's face was full of shame, and when he lowered his head, his ears were already red, he was not sure of Twilight's identity, he only remembered that she said that her surname was Twilight.
"Most of the officials will not come here, and today there is a chaotic party taking advantage of the opportunity to watch the military ceremony to make trouble in the city, and the city gate will be closed at noon. I was accidentally robbed out of the city by Emperor Liao, but fortunately I was able to escape by the rescue of the little king and grandson, because I was injured, and there was no war horse to return to the city, so I came here. Twilight said the matter in a few words, but it was like thunder in the ears of the Zheng family.
Zhengjiazhuang is only 30 miles away from Shengjing City, but today's sailor to watch the military ceremony, the two emperors and hundreds of official envoys all went to the army to watch this event, three days ago the official road was sealed, the government was very strict with the people, and the nearby villagers did not go out these days, so there was a big incident in Shengjing City, and no one knew about it in Zhengjiazhuang.
"Before coming here, I had led the Liao soldiers to the official road, but I really didn't dare to guarantee that this plan would be successful, so this trip was my thoughtlessness, so I won't bother anymore, so don't bother it." Twilight walked out of the house, coming suddenly, and leaving simply.
Su thought that he had been in a big disaster, but he didn't expect Twilight to be willing to go, and he didn't know how to react for a while, but he was stunned in the courtyard.
"Girl, stay!" However, Zheng Angelica left people first, and Dusk Qing turned around, and saw that the man's eyes were full of struggle, and asked, "There are deep mountains and old forests near Zhuangzi, where can the girl go to spend the night?" ”
"You don't need to know."
"But the girl has an injury and the heat in her body has not faded, and there seems to be cold poison in her body, so she should not be cold. The spring night is cold, and the girl is out for the night, I'm afraid it will ......"
"If you dare not keep me here, what is the use of saying this? Isn't it worth paying a few words of concern? ”
This was straightforward, Zheng Angelica was like a blow to the head, his face was red, he was speechless, and suddenly saw Twilight turn back and enter the house. The Zheng family was stunned, thinking that she had changed her mind and wanted to stay here, but they saw her walk to the table and drink the bowl of warm decoction, and then went out of the house again and walked to the door.
"Human life is not precious or cheap, and the kindness of flesh and blood is greater than heaven, so why be ashamed? The post-mortem redress is my life's ambition, what I ask for is that there is no injustice in the world, all is the will of this life, not to give favors, you don't need to feel indebted. If you are ashamed, this clothes and this bowl of soup are enough. Twilight Qing walked past Zheng Angelica and did not stop, the gentle night breeze couldn't keep the distant plain figure, leaving only a few words, cold and still, "Thank you, don't pass." ”
"Governor!" When the courtyard door opened, Zheng Angelica took out a large piece from the house.
The governor was extremely convinced.
Although they have not known each other for a long time and are not familiar with each other, they can say that there is no nobility in the world, and people who can have aspirations that are not for fame and fortune are not imitated by others.
Although she is a daughter, she has also changed her face, but apart from her, there will be no second Wise Governor in the world, he firmly believes.
Twilight turned around and saw Zheng Angelica kneeling in the courtyard, his face full of shame and tears in his eyes, and he raised his hand to the south.
"Dudu, this is to the south, and there is an ancestral hall halfway up the mountainside, which is the old ancestral hall of the clan. The clan often says that the ancestral shrine in the clan is built on the treasure cave of the Tibetan wind, and he does not understand the art of Kanyu, but he goes up the mountain every year to worship, but he feels that the old ancestral hall is built according to the mountain and is indeed Tibetan wind, and it is not cold at night. The governor stayed in the mountains for fear of staying overnight, but might as well stay in the ancestral hall in the mountains, this piece of big is the village of the hunters in the early years into the mountains to hunt sewn with the old wolf skin, that year of the epidemic, because of the rescue of the hunter's grandson, afterwards got this clothes. In the cold winter of these years, on the way to the doctor, all rely on this clothes to keep out the cold, if the governor does not dislike it, please take it with you, don't suffer from the cold. Zheng Angelica held the clothes above his head and sent them sincerely.
Twilight was silent for a while, then walked back, "Okay, thank you for your kindness, if you don't have anything to do tonight, you will pay it back in the future, and don't say goodbye!" ”
Farewell, Twilight really left, and when the Zheng family looked out of the hospital, two figures, one big and one small, had disappeared into the night, and there was no trace.
*
When the Zheng family opened a pharmacy in Shengjing City, the family lived in the outer city for a long time, more than ten years ago the Wang family returned to Zhuangzi with two young sons, in order to avoid gossip, asked the clan for a remote courtyard, which happened to be in the south of the village, not far from the place where the Zheng family ancestral hall is located, just at the foot of Nanshan.
Twilight Qing held the wolf's skin, the wind could not enter, and she felt that the situation was much better than when she was ragged and crossed the wheat mountain, but the heat was not dissipated, she came out of Zheng's house was already strong, and now she had to climb half a mountain, and Twilight Qing obviously felt that her strength was exhausted.
She walked on the mountain road, walked forward by the starlight, and picked up an old branch from the ravine to borrow strength, but she still walked very slowly. Huyan Charlie followed her, carrying a burden on his shoulders, and the bag contained her tattered battle robe.
"My father said that kindness turns people into lambs, either slaughtered or eaten by wolves." The boy followed behind with his baggage, young and old, and continued to obsess over his daddy.
"Then your father didn't teach you, and Seong didn't know if he lost his horse?" Twilight didn't look back, and continued to climb the mountain.
"Seon?"
Twilight listened to Huyan Charlie's puzzled voice, and couldn't help but smile faintly, thinking that this was what a child should be. So, while she was climbing the mountain, she talked to Saion, and two figures, one big and one small, slowly walked forward on the rugged mountain road. I have to say that there is gossip to talk about is very distracting, and Twilight gradually feels that the mountain road is not so difficult, and when the allusion is finished, she has already seen the ancestral hall when she looks up.
The ancestral hall was built in the mountains, which is not magnificent, but it has been some years. The ancestral hall is not locked, the paint on the door has fallen, push the door in, the incense offering inside is not broken at night, the ground is sprinkled and swept clean, the futon is placed neatly, the door of the ancestral hall is somewhat sheltered from the wind, and the ancestral hall is indeed warmer than the mountain road.
"Do you think he'll be here?"
Twilight was looking at the furnishings in the ancestral hall when she suddenly heard Huyan Charlie ask behind her, and she turned to look at the door, where she saw him frowning deeply and looking thoughtful.
Sai Weng knows if she is blessed, she means that she seems to be looking for sin when she comes to this mountain, but she may be able to avoid trouble, that is, she thinks Hu Yanhao is likely to find it?
"With what I know about him, he will definitely send someone to the official road, but there are no absolutes in the world, and of course I hope he won't find it." Twilight Road.
When Huyan Chalie heard this, his little brows furrowed, and he pointed to the mountain with a serious face, "If he really found it, do you think that family is reliable?" Will they betray us in order to survive? ”
Twilight didn't answer, because the obvious answer didn't need to be answered, she just looked down the hill in the direction that Huyan Charlie was pointing.
Who knew this look, she was stunned.
The old ancestral hall is located on the mountainside, overlooking from the front of the door, and can overlook Zhengjiazhuang in the distance. The night is deeper, the galaxy is picturesque, flowing through the quiet village, there is no light in the village, only a lamp is lit in a courtyard in the remote south of the village, the candlelight is as thin as a firefly, it seems to wander for a while, and then stop.
Twilight Qing frowned, it was the courtyard of Zheng Danggui's house, there would be no mistake.
Is the Zheng family here?
