211 Worries
Wu Zhi took Su Yu away while humming, and when he was far away from the teahouse, Wu Zhi finally stopped humming, and Su Yu looked at him speechlessly: "What were you doing just now?" ”
Wu Zhi turned his head to look behind him, there was no one, he said quickly: "Do you remember "Journey to the West", it is the story you told Xiaobao." ”
Su Yu reacted quickly, but she thought that Governor Wu wanted to tell the story, just like saying "Three Kingdoms", she thought for a moment, then nodded: "If you want to tell it, you can." ”
When Wu Zhi heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, someone came with a manuscript, I see that the manuscript is the same as the paper on which Xiaobao practiced calligraphy, and it was also written with charcoal." ”
Su Yu was in a trance, she touched her nose and said: "So that's the case, Gao Ping was weak before, I thought I wanted to earn more money to help him buy ginseng, so I threw the manuscript out, and then I had ginseng in my hand, and I forgot about it." ”
Wu Zhi said again: "The shopkeeper also wants that story." ”
After he finished speaking, he muttered again: "Speaking of which, you still mentioned the books and periodicals, why don't you vote the book directly to our shopkeeper?" ”
Su Yu said: "Wasn't it in a hurry to ask for silver at that time, the matter of books and periodicals was only mentioned at that time, and the rest of the people still had to be busy, and it was possible to owe the silver to the shopkeeper, what do you say?" ”
Wu Zhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right." After that, he carefully told Su Yu what the little boy said to the shopkeeper, and he asked, "Then, what should we do?" ”
Su Yu sighed and said: "I definitely can't come forward in this matter, if I let the shopkeeper know, I will definitely be unhappy." ”
Wu Zhi nodded silently.
Su Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Wu Zhi: "It's better to be like this, anyway, you told them that you heard it from the outside, so it's up to you to come forward in this matter." ”
Su Yu's eyes rolled, and he said very quickly: "It's better like this, if there is a new story in the future, I will be the first to sue you, and you will come forward, and you don't need to involve me." ”
Wu Zhi looked at Su Yu in a daze.
Su Yu went through this matter in his mind again, and felt that this was good, he didn't need to come forward, it was just right.
Wu Zhi was a little entangled: "Alas, then what should I say, if they ask who the person who wrote the manuscript is, where did they meet him, if they want to see something or something, then how do you want me to answer?" ”
Su Yu said: "Let's think about this first, don't stand stupidly, aren't we going to the post station?" ”
When Wu Zhi heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, let's go quickly." ”
After speaking, the two walked to the post station, the post station is not in the county, on the road on the outskirts of the city, there is still some distance from the county, Su Yu took the money to rent a carriage, only rented it for three hours, this coming and going is enough.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the station.
Wu Zhi got out of the car and asked for the news with a smiling face, Su Yu was still in the car, looking at the car, and after a while, Wu Zhi came back with a white face, his voice was a little shaky: "Ah Yu, Anding County is occupied by bandits!" ”
Su Yu exclaimed: "Occupied by bandits? What bandits? She thought about it for a while, and came out and said, "Could it be those guys from Black Wind Village?" ”
Wu Zhi nodded, his face was extremely ugly: "There is no letter, the road over there has been cut off by them." He just went to the post station to ask, there was no letter at all, and then he said two good words, and the people at the post station told him about the encounter with the refugees, and said: "The bandits of Heifeng Village are getting more and more powerful, and they actually occupy Anding County, and when this matter spreads to the top, I am afraid that I will send troops over." ”
Wu Zhi asked the man again: "Do you know what happened to the people in Anding County?" ”
The man sighed and said: "There are not many escapes, and all those who did not escape have been arrested. Wu Zhi's face changed at this time, and then he came back.
Su Yu's heart was cold, the bandits of Heifeng Village actually went to Anding County and occupied them, could it be that the plague over there has been completely resolved?
Wait, her mother, her eldest sister and her second uncle are still in Anding County, they will be fine, right? The more Su Yu thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he couldn't wait to go back and take a look now.
Wu Zhi got into the carriage and drove to the county, on the way, Su Yu didn't say a word, Wu Zhi was also full of sorrow, he sent a letter to his family, and hoped that his family would take him back, but now the bandit went to Anding County, the county where his home is located is not far from Anding County, according to his father's greedy nature and fear of death, he will definitely escape far away, maybe he will take his family to the state capital, and come back when the matter of the bandits is solved.
Alas.
Wu Zhi sighed, and after a while, he suddenly figured out one thing, the state capital, his father is in the state capital, he can also go. Wait, what can he do when he goes back, he can't get along with his stepmother, and he will have to quarrel when the time comes, because his stepmother can't tolerate him, he just left home, and now it's no different to go back, maybe he has to move out after a month or two, it's better to be here.
has food and shelter, does the work he likes, and can earn wages, thinking about it, he feels that his life is not bad.
It's just that I don't make a lot of money.
When he returned to the county, Wu Zhi was not as worried as before, anyway, his father must have left with his family early, and it should be fine, thinking about it like this, he felt that there was nothing to worry about.
Only Su Yu's face was still heavy.
They returned the carriage and slowly walked towards the teahouse, on the way, Wu Zhi asked Su Yu: "What do you say about "Journey to the West", I ...... it?"
Su Yu said: "You look at it, this matter is handed over to you, by the way, the matter of "Three Kingdoms" is also handed over to you, you come to talk to them." Su Yu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Wait a minute, you go back first, I want to go outside to inquire about Ding'an County." "She's not in the mood to worry about that right now.
Originally, it was unlucky enough to be caught here by bandits, but now the county is occupied by bandits, which is really a headache.
Su Yu suddenly thought that the thieves had arrested her because of vinegar before, but then she ran away, and those thieves went to Anding County again, don't blame her for opening her brain, there won't be a reason for vinegar
, wouldn't there be a reason for vinegar?
Or, catch her?
No way, she is not that important, the more Su Yu thinks about it, the more her mind is messed up.
In fact, what Su Yu was worried about would not have happened at all, after all, the two waves of 'bandits' were not the same people.
Wu Zhi went back to the teahouse first, the little chapter hadn't left yet, he was drinking tea in the teahouse, the shopkeeper saw Wu Zhi, and couldn't help but say: "Do you remember, what about the person, what did the person say?" ”
Wu Zhi said vaguely: "This is slow in advance, it's not too early now, I'll finish today's story." ”
Only then did the teahouse remember that Wu Zhi's matter had not been done, but how could he be in the mood to listen to Wu Zhi finish today's story, he was in a hurry, he then Wu knew: "Wait a minute, let's talk about "Journey to the West" first, I read the above draft just now, except for some of the symbols that are strange, the story is good." The strange symbols he was talking about were punctuation marks like commas and periods.
Wu Zhishi: "Wait, wait." After he finished speaking, he ran upstairs with a cigarette, took a sip of tea, and started to talk about today's story of "Three Kingdoms".
In fact, he didn't think about how to get back to the shopkeeper and the little boy, so he was in such a hurry to run up.
The little boy was almost impatient, Wu Zhi came to such a show again, at least half an hour, the little boy had nothing to do, so he took the tea to the second floor and began to listen to the story.
This story is in the middle, halfway to listen, no beginning and no end, the little boy listens to it, and then indulges in it, and when Wu Zhi finishes the story, he is still a little unfinished, he has read most of the stories in the bookstore where he works, only the kind of 'not suitable for children' has not read.
After Wu Zhi finished telling the story, Xiao Tong surrounded him, and Xiao Tong looked at him with burning eyes: "Did you come up with this story or did you hear it from elsewhere, I like this story, the price is easy to say." ”
The shopkeeper was counting the time, and when he saw that Wu Zhi was about to finish speaking, he also rushed up, and after coming up for a while, he heard Xiao Tong say this, he hurriedly came over, squeezed Xiao Tong away, and said, "This story is ours, don't think about it." If it weren't for Xiao Tong having the manuscript of "Journey to the West" in his hand, he wouldn't have discussed it with Xiao Tong at all.
When the child was fighting with the shopkeeper, Su Yu came back, the sadness on her face was even stronger, she went back to the house, saw Xiaobao endorsing the book, Gao Ping also followed the back, he saw Su Yu twice, Xiaobao said that he practiced the word Jingjing, Gao Ping also said that he memorized the book, the book was borrowed by the shopkeeper, to be honest, if it wasn't for Xiaobao to the shopkeeper when he saw the library, he really didn't know that there were books in the shopkeeper's house.
Xiaobao happily told Su Yu about this, and said: "The shopkeeper said that he might lend it to us, but the words of the lone book have to be copied down." He was even happier: "Fortunately, the charcoal pen is small, so you can write more!" Speaking of which, he regretted that he had practiced those words with that paper, what a waste.
Su Yu pulled out a stiff smile: "Okay, this is a good thing, you can borrow books to read in the future." After she finished speaking, she turned her back to the two and walked out the door: "I'll go make ginseng soup." ”
Xiaobao and Gao Ping live under the eaves of other people's houses, and their ability to observe words and colors can be regarded as a small achievement, so they must not be asked to see anything, and they are worried about it.
Su Yu walked out of the house and went to the kitchen.
Xiaobao looked at her back, slowly walked to Gao Ping's side, and asked in a low voice, "Is the second sister unhappy?" "His voice is so small that he is not afraid of being heard.
Gao Ping nodded slowly, he is different from Xiaobao, Xiaobao learned to look at his face here, he practiced it when he was begging, there is not much progress in the teahouse, he stays in the room every day, except for hearing some guys say some sour words, the others have never seen it. After all, he was an injured person, and no matter how much those people didn't like him, they wouldn't say anything very vicious about an injured person.
When Xiaobao was busy in the teahouse, he went to the front hall to help, so he learned to look at his face, but he didn't learn well enough because he had a short time to get started.
Xiaobao rubbed the corners of his clothes and said uneasily: "Are we out of money again?" ”
When Gao Ping heard this, he was stunned, his breathing was heavier, and the money was spent on him, it cost money to see a doctor, it cost money to grab medicine, and it cost money to buy ginseng, Gao Ping was bitter and happy, Second Sister Su cared about his life so much, she really treated him as her own.
He secretly thought that he must make good money in the future and return all these debts to Second Sister Su.
Xiaobao touched him and asked again, "What do you say will be the matter?" ”
Gao Ping looked at him and said, "Otherwise, let's ask Brother Azhi." "Ah Zhi is Wu He, and they shouted like this in private.
Xiaobao nodded vigorously, he glanced at the kitchen from the window again, and saw that the second sister was busy, so he bent over and quietly slipped to the front hall of the teahouse.
He looked sad, Gao Ping saw his expression, and thought that something had happened, Gao Ping looked nervous: "What is the matter?" ”
Xiaobao sighed: "Brother Azhi is busy, I didn't ask." After he finished speaking, he said seriously: "Let's ask in the evening." ”
Gao Ping reminded in a low voice: "The second sister was also in the house at that time." ”
Ah, he didn't expect this, Xiaobao frowned and said, "What should I do then?" ”
Gao Ping whispered in his ear: "Let's ask when the second sister goes out." ”
However, the second sister just went out in the morning, when will she go again? Xiaobao sighed like a little adult, since the second sister refused to say it, she definitely didn't want them to know, and the second sister would not hide good things from them, since it was not a good thing, it must be a bad thing!
Xiaobao's expression changed.
Su Yu cooked ginseng soup in the kitchen and cooked again.
It's the end of the day, and it's not the time for lunch, but because Su Yu went out, they were late. The ginseng soup was served to Gao Ping first, and when he digested the ginseng soup, he ate again.
Wu Zhi didn't eat either, the smell of food in the backyard spread to the front, Wu Zhi still didn't come, Su Yu stood up and was about to call Wu Zhi, Xiaobao was one step faster than her, he ran out of the door and said, "I'll call, I'll call." After that, the man disappeared.
Su Yu looked at Xiaobao's back and thought silently, Xiaobao's speed was really getting faster and faster. She thought again that Xiaobao's body was indeed very good, and in such a cold winter, Xiaobao didn't cry out about being cold.
Wu He saw that Xiao Bao came to ask him to eat, as if he was seeing a savior, his eyes were frighteningly bright, he quickly threw off the two, took Xiao Bao's hand and left, touching his stomach as he walked: "I didn't think it before, but I felt very hungry when I smelled the smell of rice." ”
He also turned around and said, "We'll talk later." But he can be regarded as out of the sea of suffering, he feels that he is really not the material for business, listening to the price of those two people, his brain hurts terribly.
Wu Zhi hurriedly walked to the backyard, but Xiaobao dragged him hard, wanting to slow down, Wu Zhi felt Xiaobao's strength, and he looked at Xiaobao with some puzzlement.
Xiaobao looked at Wu Zhi innocently and asked, "Brother Azhi, where did you go in the morning?" ”
It turned out to be asking about this, Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "I didn't receive the letter." He originally wanted to say that he might not be able to receive it in the future, but looking at Xiaobao's bright eyes, he couldn't say this, forget it, it's better to leave some hope for the child.
It turned out to be this, Xiaobao was in a trance, he said why was the second sister unhappy, it turned out that there was no news, it was not a big deal, anyway, when Brother Aping's leg was better, they would go home.
The doubts in Xiaobao's heart were solved, the whole person was relaxed, he had a smile on his face when he returned to the house, Gao Ping saw his expression, and also understood, there must be no major incident, and suddenly, he was also relieved.
This meal was the same as usual, Su Yu had been very quiet, and it seemed to Xiaobao Gaoping that she had not changed much except for the occasional frown.
During the meal, Su Yu kept thinking, since Liuyang County couldn't ask about Anding County, otherwise, she would go to Heifeng Village, the source of this matter was Heifeng Village, since she sent someone to occupy Anding County, she would definitely send someone to stay, and the people on both sides would always communicate, and the bandits who stayed behind must know what was going on over there.
After this meal was over, Su Yu's determination to go to Black Wind Village became even stronger.
She looked up at Wu Zhi, and then at Xiaobao and Gao Ping, she just went alone, and handed over the two children to Wu Zhi for a few days, she would definitely come back.
Even if she was caught by the bandits, since she could escape once, she would definitely be able to escape twice, she was not idle these days, she took half an hour every day to run around the county, this period of time, her body is much better, and she has grown taller!
The sleeves and trouser legs are short, which can be clearly felt, for this reason, she also bought herself a jacket, a particularly large one, and rolled up the sleeves and trouser legs after wearing them, she must be longer, and it is not cost-effective to buy small.
Su Yu thought again, he couldn't let them know about going to Heifeng Village, he had to hide it, or he didn't say Xiaobao Gaoping, even Wu Zhi would definitely not agree. Going to Black Wind Village, in their opinion, it is tantamount to sending a sheep into the mouth of a tiger!
After eating, Su Yu began to put away the bowls.
Wu Zhi hid in the house and refused to go out, he was shaving his teeth, and seeing Su Yu's face full of concern, he asked, "Didn't you inquire about it?" ”
Su Yu looked up at him.
Xiaobao was also helping to clean up the dishes, and couldn't help but look up and take a sneak look.
Wu Zhi was also distressed, Ah Yu's family is in Anding County, no, isn't it in the village? By the way, the village is the same as the county, they have all been caught, alas, those bandits are really, they are really idle, and they went to Anding County, what are they doing?
Anding County has a plague and a dragon, and everyone has almost run away, why are those thieves who are greedy for gold and silver so can't figure it out and have to go to Anding County?
Wu Zhi comforted Su Yu and said: "It's okay, our county can't inquire, then go to other places to inquire, it's really not good, just go to the state capital, my Lao Tzu must have gone there, yes, everyone fled to the big place, maybe you ...... "I can't let him say it again, if he leaks the matter of Heifeng Village occupying Anding County, the child will know, this can't be done."
Su Yu interrupted him suddenly: "I seem to hear the shopkeeper calling you." ”
Wu Zhi was stunned, he didn't want to speak, he sat still and didn't move.
After Su Yu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he thought of Wu Zhi's words and went to the state capital......
The state capital is far away, and it takes more than half a month to go from here to there, and this is still a case of good weather, and Heifeng Village is close, and it is only a few days to drive the carriage.
Su Yu was anxious, she definitely couldn't wait, she was going to Black Wind Village! That's right, she can use the excuse to go to the state capital and let Wu Zhi take care of the children, and when she gets out of the county, she will go around to Heifeng Village again, and in half a month, she was really caught, and she has time to escape back!
