Chapter 553: That's Your Son
"I'll go with you."
Looking at that innocent child, Nianfu had no choice. Regardless of whether he is Brother Xing'er or not, Nianfu has no way to watch a child being abused like this without rescuing him.
"You let him go."
Ryan sneered, "Please figure out the situation now, it's not me begging you, it's you begging me." I won't let this child go, if you want to come over or not, whatever you want. ”
After a pause, Nianfu walked forward.
"County Lord!" The family exclaimed, "I can't go!" ”
Nian Fu turned his head slightly, "If I haven't received the money, they won't kill me." But—"
She also looked up at Ryan and said lightly, "I won't kill you, but it's always okay to let my men kill a few people behind, right?" ”
The guards' crossbows were immediately aimed at the bandits. At this time, Su Cheng's reinforcements who were ambushed at the foot of the mountain also rushed up, cutting off the back road of this group.
Seeing that the wall was full of people, Ryan was a little panicked, so he could only threaten Nianfu with Brother Xing, "If you dare to do it, I will kill him!" ”
"Stop!" Li Qing hurriedly shouted, pointed to the few masters who had just been dragged out of the front yard, swallowed his saliva and said, "County Lord, let's discuss everything." In this way, if you go with us, we will not hurt the lives of these masters, how about it? ”
Nianfu looked at him, revealing a similar appearance, glanced at Ryan again, and said coolly, "Finally, a man is willing to stand up and say something decent, otherwise I would think that you are all subordinates of this crazy woman." ”
You! Ryan was ashamed and annoyed, but looked back. Sure enough, I saw that the gang of bandits picked on Nian Fu, and looked at her with a little unkindness.
Most of the people here have played with her before, and just now it was because the proposal to share the spoils collectively moved them, and she held the trump card that could threaten Nianfu in her hand, so she was temporarily worshipped as the master. But seriously, which of these people can afford her, and who will really listen to her?
Rui Anxin was in a hurry, and suddenly had an idea, and said to the bandits. "Big brothers. Don't be picked on by this woman. Let's go down the mountain together, and then you take these monks and wait for her to send money from her house. I took her and the boy to hide somewhere else. Wait until the money is secured. Released again. Wouldn't it be more secure? ”
There is some truth in this, and even Li Qing thinks it is feasible.
And Nianfu also breathed a sigh of relief, her purpose was to sow discord. Dividing this group of people first, and then slowly plotting it, is more beneficial to her.
The gang of bandits discussed it, sent two of them, and walked up to Nian Fu, "Lord Jiashan, offended, come with us." ”
Nianfu didn't mind at all, and only told his family, "You can give money, but don't worry, wait until I'm sure I'm safe." Don't forget to send someone to report to the Zou family. ”
Ryan wanted to speak at this time, but he didn't have a chance.
Soon, a group of bandits escorted Nian Fu and the others down the mountain, and sent four or five people to escort Nian Fu Ruian and Xing Ge'er away first. Most of the remaining people evacuated with the unconscious monks, ready to collect the money.
After all, this is the main event, who doesn't love real money? Can you rest assured if you don't look at it?
The guards followed them all the way, and quickly sent people back to the capital, and the Sun family reported the news.
Du Chuan finished delivering the wine yesterday and came to Dr. Zou's house, seeing that Dr. Sun's condition was really not good, and everyone was in a semi-comatose state, he couldn't persuade him if he wanted to.
Seeing that the snow was heavy at night, the Zou family took the initiative to stay guests, and Du Chuan also wanted to get up in the morning to see if there was a chance to talk to the old man again, but he didn't expect that before dawn, the guards sent such an earth-shattering news.
Ryan is here, and the county lord has been robbed!
This matter was mainly planned by Nianfu and Su Cheng together, and Du Chuan didn't know much about it, but since Nianfu dared to leave with Ryan, it proved that he was still a little sure, he only asked, "What about the little potato boy?" ”
The guards were stunned for a moment and didn't pay attention, but the little master should still be on the mountain, right?
Du Chuan was a little worried in his heart, but he still went to see Doctor Sun first, and asked people to come to the Zou family to say something, definitely to ease his heart.
It happened that the old man woke up at this time, went in and told the news, and the old man who was lying down with only half a breath left sat up, and a pair of originally dim old eyes stared brightly, and asked slightly, "You guys...... You didn't lie to me? Is Ryan really here? Still with Brother Xing? ”
Everyone is still not sure if it is Brother Xing'er, but it is indeed Ruian.
Zou Yuanliang hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "You can listen, now the county lord has gone to save Brother Xing'er." In any case, you have to take care of yourself, otherwise the child will be found, and who of us will be able to recognize the real and fake? ”
Dr. Sun's chest rose and fell violently, and he closed his eyes for a while before he said to him, "Fetch me ginseng soup, then bring a pen, and re-prescribe me a recipe for decoction." ”
He himself is a very clever doctor, and he is very clear about his physical condition, and his life is stable, and his body is also very well maintained. The reason why he is so old is mainly because the mental blow is too great, and when he sees that there is no hope of revenge, his will is depressed and he is so quickly haggard.
Later, he was stimulated by the news sent by Xu Ziqian, thinking that there was no hope of finding his little great-grandson, and the old man had nothing to love, so he was like a dead heart and waited for death.
But now that hope is in sight, how can he fall?
When the old man's spirit was raised, the illness on his body was half cured, and with his own and the Zou family's conditioning, he recovered quickly. It's just that he is too old, and if he wants to go out to find someone in person, he is resolutely not allowed.
When Du Chuan left, he repeatedly assured him that he would do his best to save the child.
It's just that when Du Chuan went up to Komatsu Mountain, he was dumbfounded.
The little potato boy is lost.
Even Yujiao, who has always been cold and talkative, cried urgently, there was such a big mess last night, after she finally got out, she went to find Bai Xuan, but the entire back mountain was almost found, but he and Xiao Potato were missing, and even Wangcai was gone.
None of the guards who had caught up from the back mountain had noticed them, and no one knew what had happened.
Du Chuan was so anxious that his eyes were almost on fire. He was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to the child, so he first suppressed the news, and then took someone to search the entire Komatsu Mountain carefully, and finally found traces of someone fighting in a place that was not a serious road, and there were still traces of dried blood.
Then one of the guards finally remembered, "That old way! ”
They were the only ones on the mountain that night, but only Chongxu escaped. Could it be that he actually found Bai Xuan and snatched the child?
There seems to be no other reason for this. But I still want to search for clues, but because of a snowstorm last night. Many traces were obscured.
The news is broken. Su Cheng broke the armrests of the wheelchair!
Little Potato is the lifeblood of the whole family, if he has a good one, he really doesn't want the family to live.
Forcing himself to calm down, the first thing Su Cheng had to do. It's to hide from the old lady.
It only said that it was snowing on the mountain. The road is not easy to walk. So Nian Fu simply decided to take the child to live in the mountains for a few days, and then come back together when the rituals were done.
It happened that Bai Xuan's son had a pox rash, and the old lady knew about it. It also made people panic, "It's okay if you don't come back." Just clean the house thoroughly to save the residual sickness. ”
After appeasing her, Su Cheng sent someone to negotiate with the bandits. The so-called 10,000 taels of gold must not be available, and if there is, they can't be given to them so happily. only said that it would take time to prepare, and first took a thousand taels of silver for Du Chuan to send, and exchanged a few masters from the Medicine King Temple to come back, and also numb their vigilance.
Then Su Cheng personally asked people to carry him into the palace and secretly reported the matter to the emperor. The robbery of the county lord is a big deal, although she deliberately used it as bait, but Su Cheng also knew that without the cooperation of the government, it would be difficult to get out of the way.
“…… Now that it is the New Year, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to make a public announcement on this matter, so as not to disturb people's hearts. I beg Your Majesty to let your ministers bring someone to solve this matter secretly, so that they can also sweep away the bandits and eliminate harm for the people. ”
Gao Xian agreed.
Thinking about it, he specially transferred a team of 300 elite soldiers from the palace guards to him, pretending to be the water dragon team, and asked him to secretly lead the team to save people on the grounds that the New Year was approaching and he wanted to check the firefighting work everywhere.
"Except for the leader who brought it back for interrogation, the rest will be killed."
Su Cheng took the order, with these three hundred people, and more importantly, with the gold-lettered signboard on the emperor's order, it was definitely enough to sweep away a bandit den.
But the trouble is how to save Nianfu and the child safely? And Little Potato, where is he?
Beijing. Funan County.
As the New Year approaches, the streets are getting more and more deserted. It's not as lively as the capital, and most of the merchants here have already taken their shops and gone home for the New Year. There are only a few shops that are still open. The Liu Ji noodle stall on the corner of Xiang Street is, but because several guys are on vacation, half of the tables and chairs have been collected, and the variety of colors and colors has been streamlined a lot.
I thought there would be no business today, but I didn't expect more than a dozen guests to come to Hula in the afternoon. It's all young men, all of them are dusty, and most of them are still from the capital, and the prodigal son who doesn't know where he came home, talking and laughing there in a noisy.
They had just been ordered a big pot of chicken noodle soup when another guest came.
Looking at it as a Taoist, this is enough to attract attention. And what is even more noticeable is that the Taoist still has a child in his arms.
When he came in, he said, "I want a bowl of noodles, a bowl of rice soup, and if I have diapers, give me a few yuan, and I'll give you money." ”
As if seeing the man's doubts, the Taoist smiled bitterly, "I can't hide it, this child is not mine." He was born to kill his mother, and just killed his father, and the family refused to ask for it, so they forced it into me. I didn't prepare anything, and I really didn't know what to do with such a little doll. ”
Hearing him say this, the man's suspicions were dispelled. But there are no diapers, so let's find him some old clothes to pad. There is no rice soup either, only noodle soup.
The Taoist is not picky, so he found a corner to sit down, and he didn't care about the child, and he snorted and ate the noodles first.
The child, who had been quiet, smelled the aroma of food and began to cry again, obviously hungry.
The Taoist gave him a few mouthfuls of soup to drink, and the child was honest, and tried to open his mouth again, wanting to eat the noodles. It's a pity that the teeth are too small, and the noodles are so wide, thick and tenacious that I can't eat them at all, so I am so anxious that I start crying again.
A young man next to him turned his head unbearably, "Man, let's cook some rice soup for this kid." Look at this hungry one, how pitiful. ”
The man wanted to agree, but the man didn't want to cause trouble, so he drank the noodle soup in three or two bites. He smiled and said, "No need, thank you for your kindness." I'm still in a hurry, take him back to the Taoist temple first, and then slowly boil porridge or something, otherwise it will be difficult to leave in the evening. ”
The young man wanted to say something, but his companion next to him joked to him, "You can pick up your child when you go back immediately, and you don't care what you are doing outside?" Do you still want to take this child back? Beware of your sister-in-law's jealousy, don't let you in! ”
This made everyone laugh. The man gave the money. I asked the guy where there was a pharmacy near here, and left quickly.
The young man turned his head and laughed to himself.
He didn't notice that the Taoist had been gone for a short time. There was a big snow-white dog with dirty coat in the back, tired and panting. But he smelled the smell unswervingly. Followed.
After eating the noodles, these young people couldn't enter the capital because they saw that it was getting late. I simply found an inn next to this and stayed here. Looking forward to going home tomorrow, everyone has a smile on their faces.
The sky is getting darker, and the twilight is getting thicker.
Although the conditions in the small inn are simple, there is only a large bunk, and the bedding is very dirty. But the young man seemed to have long been accustomed to such a hard life, and he was obviously very happy to gather around the brazier to talk and laugh.
I just suddenly heard the innkeeper running in in a panic and saying, "Someone is going to die, someone is going to die outside!" ”
When the young men heard this, they all looked up, and the young man hurriedly called the shopkeeper out, and a servant at the door of the shop fell face down.
The shopkeeper said anxiously, "Why did this fall in front of my house?" If you die, won't you be unlucky? Ladies and gentlemen, you can help me testify, this has nothing to do with me. ”
The one who seemed to be the leader among the young people lowered his face a little displeased, "It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with you, how can you not rescue someone who is in distress in such a cold and snowy place?" Geely, follow me to have a look. ”
He led a thin and swarthy young man out, but when he turned the fallen man over, his face suddenly changed, "Bai Xuan? Bai Xuan, how are you! ”
Bai Xuanfang only felt that his brain was dizzy, and the person fell down uncontrollably.
At this time, he woke up from the pain in the middle of the pinch, he opened his eyes in confusion, and suddenly saw a vaguely familiar face, his pupils slowly focused, and his eyes widened, "Young master?" Is the eldest young master really you? ”
Ouyang Kang was also shocked, "It's me." What's going on, how did you get hurt like this? ”
Just as he was carried back to the house, Sangilli had already unbuttoned his clothes and looked at it. He was stabbed four times in total, his intestines were broken, and the blood had already soaked the cotton clothes, and it was a miracle that he could still survive until now.
Bai Xuan grabbed his hand tightly, and the last light burst out in his eyes, "Young Master, hurry up!" That thief, that Taoist priest, he took the little master away! I promised the county lord to protect him, but I didn't do it, I didn't do it......"
Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and his face was full of self-reproach and sadness.
"What?" Guan Yaozu exclaimed, "You said that the child that the Taoist priest was holding was Ouyang Kang's?" ”
Bai Xuan asked anxiously, "Have you seen him?" Did that stop him? I...... It's really not that I don't try my best, I didn't expect that Taoist priest to suddenly run out...... I've tried my best, but I, I can't beat him......"
"I know." Ouyang Kang interrupted him, shook his cold hand back, looked into his eyes, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Bai Xuan." You don't have to blame yourself, you're doing a great job. The child will get it back, and it will be fine. ”
"Really? Master, you really don't blame me? Bai Xuan looked at him, incredulous, and faintly glowing.
Ouyang Kang nodded solemnly, "You are my brother, a good brother who grew up together, of course I don't blame you." You have a good rest, and when you wake up, you will be home. ”
Bai Xuan finally let out a long breath, his tense nerves relaxed, and he muttered, "That's good, that's good." ”
He suddenly looked at Ouyang Kang and smiled, "Big Young Master, you don't know, Little Young Master really looks like you." Except for the eyes like the county lord, everything else is exactly the same as you, but the temper is much better than yours. I remember when you were a kid you didn't like to laugh, he smiled cutely. Every time someone scratched his chin, he laughed. But when I cried, it was so loud that it could tear the roof over...... Hmm, the eldest young master......"
He suddenly became a little embarrassed, and said cautiously, "In the future, can I let my son serve the little master in the future?" I will discipline him well and prevent him from making the mistakes I have made. ”
Ouyang Kang smiled and nodded, "Of course you can." If he's bad, I'll teach him too. ”
Bai Xuan smiled. Said sincerely, "Thank you, thank you, young master." I, I'm really tired, I'll sleep for a while. When I get back, I'll bring my son to kowtow to you. That kid was a little naughty, but he was much better behaved than when I was a kid......"
"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look then. What's his name? ”
"Bark, call the puppy...... Daimyo, I want to leave it to you. ”
"Okay, I'll give him a good name."
"Thank you...... Oh. That's right. The little master hasn't been named yet...... His nickname is Little Potato Boy, which was given by the county lord. Hehe, he looks white and fat, and he really looks like the big white potatoes in our countryside. ”
"Really? That's when he grows up. Teach him how to make water. You taught me how to make water. ”
"Okay. Young master, you still can't remember. At that time, we sneaked out to play in the water, and when we came back, we were beaten......"
"How could you not remember? You beat your father, and I was punished by my grandmother to kneel. I also have to copy books. But then as soon as you called me, I went with you again......"
Ouyang Kang kept smiling and talking to him slowly until Bai Xuan closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully, until he was completely out of breath, with a warm smile on his face.
Looking at his face that had lost its temperature, Ouyang Kang's eyes were full of sorrow.
Maybe Bai Xuan has made many mistakes, but he has proved with his own little efforts and the most precious life that he is still his original brother, and he has lived up to their original friendship.
Standing up again, Ouyang Kang regained his composure.
In his military career, the experience of blood and fire made him no longer the eldest young master he was at the beginning, put away his sadness and sadness, and he wanted to do serious things.
"Xiao Yin, a few of you help me send him back, and for the rest, follow me to chase that person!"
Without a word of superfluous nonsense, he led people into the vast night. For a soldier, a man, a father, what is it when it's dark, what's it when it's cold? As long as he thinks that his son is still hungry and crying at the hands of the enemy, and when he thinks of his brother's blood and hatred still waiting for him to avenge, the sky will fall, and it will not stop him!
I went back to Liu's noodle stall first, and then found a pharmacy.
As long as a person has really existed, he will always leave all kinds of clues. What's more, he still has such a young child, how can he hide his traces?
On the other side, Nian Fu and Xing Ge'er were taken into the carriage by Rui'an and his gang, and they drove blindfolded for a few days, and they didn't know where they came.
She only knew that she was locked up in the cellar of a small farm yard, and she didn't know anything about what was going on above. It was dark in the cellar, and even after a few days, she didn't know anything.
She's not in a hurry, though.
Now she is more concerned about the child in the corner, is he Brother Xing'er?
Why did he call him many times when no one was around, and he didn't respond? Every day, I squatted in that corner, looking around vigilantly and indifferently, as if I was indifferent to everything.
Nianfu suddenly remembered an old movie, and there was a child in it who was also like this. Because of the changes in his family, he was stimulated and became bad-tempered, and he was imprisoned. When her father came back to her, the little girl's first reaction was to hit and kick her, like a little madman.
Children are not really bad-tempered, but a stress reaction to being treated badly. Because there are no well-meaning people around, they become extremely aggressive.
So how do you open the knot in his heart?
There was a thud, and the door to the top of the cellar opened.
Ryan walked down with the food, with a vicious smile on his face, and walked up to Nianfu, "Your Royal Highness, it's time to eat." ”
Glancing at the leftovers she was holding in her hand, Nianfu knew that she had deliberately humiliated herself. So she didn't have anything to be polite about, "You can get out." ”
Ryan's face changed, and he reached out and wanted to hit her, but he was slapped by Nianfu's backhand faster, and it hit her in the face firmly, with a snapping sound.
Brother Xing'er in the corner, his indifferent eyes quietly lit up, and then looked at Nianfu, a little surprised, and a little ...... Adore?
Nianfu caught a glimpse of the corner of her eye, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, Ryan thought she was ridiculing herself, and she was furious and about to do it again.
"Does it taste good? If you want to try again, I don't mind teaching you another lesson. ”
As soon as the first two words came out, Ryan retracted his hand as if he had been burned. She suddenly looked cold, and poured all the leftovers on the ground, "If you have the ability, you don't even want to eat!" ”
Then, he stepped on two feet before he left.
Of course, Nianfu will not eat. How can you maintain your strength without eating?
***
White Potato: Wow, Wangcai keeps up, let's go farm monsters!
Wangcai: I'm so hungry, aren't you hungry?
White Potato: It's all to blame on that stupid dad, hmph, don't mention him, I'll find a way to feed you.
Wangcai: You'd better take care of yourself first. That, is the diaper enough?
White Potato: Don't mention this matter, you have to respect the privacy of your little pot friend.
Wangcai: Okay. Then say on behalf of the author, there are more lunch boxes to be sent out in this round, so the plot is a little longer, please bear with me. Of course, even and sweet potato brothers are pig's feet and will not hang up. ORL, it's hard to travel hungry. Dead Taoist, I must bite your ass when I turn around! (To be continued......)
