Chapter 11 Zhao Yu

Of course, the death of Liu Chang also reached the Deng Mansion, and Deng Xun was the first to know about it and informed Liu Qing of the matter first.

Of course, although everyone also suspects that this matter was done by Dou Xian, after all, it is just speculation, and there is no way to investigate. But according to the original plan, let Liu Qing dress up a little and go to meet the officials loyal to the emperor.

As usual, Yin Xiao and the clothes he didn't wear would be sent by the maidservant to Xing'er. Deng Sui looked at the clothes, the plain jacquard Qi and Luo, embroidered with vines and branches, were very exquisite and chic, not only frowned slightly.

"Xing'er, who did you send to yesterday?" Deng Sui put down his clothes, put a pair of dark blue glass earrings in the shape of a trumpet on his ears, and swayed the white beaded jade bird feather into the high bun above his head.

"These days have been sent to Mengcheng, not far from here, the girls in Guo Zhong are looking forward to it, and the people who get the clothes are overjoyed, and they all say that they want to be the wedding dress for their daughter's family!

"Oh?" Deng Sui listened, not only said, "The clothes thrown away by the public waiting family are rare treasures for small families. Xing'er, distribute clothes today, I'll go with you, I haven't been out for a long time. ”

"Miss, do you want to tell Madame?" Xing'er asked uneasily.

"I went to tell my mother, who knew I was cautious and would not let me go." Deng Sui was neatly dressed, wearing a pale green curved robe, and a dark green printed colored yarn belt was tied around his waist, looking slender and moving.

Sure enough, the Yin family only confessed a few words, Mo and Congren were separated, came back earlier, and then agreed to Deng Sui's request.

According to the stars, he took a carriage, and when he arrived in the city of Mongolia, he gave his clothes to the families of those who had not yet been rewarded, and then returned early. Deng Sui didn't go out for a long time, and he was in a good mood, not only did he not take the carriage, but he also left Deng An, who was driving the carriage, at home. Only took Xing'er and the little servant Deng Lu and the three of them walked towards Mengcheng.

Although Deng Sui was born noble, his personality was extremely easy-going. From the housekeeper to the servant, the maidservants all respect and love her. Along the way, the three of them picked wildflowers, hummed songs, joked, giggled, and were so unhappy.

When he arrived near Mengcheng, Deng Sui's forehead was already beading with sweat, Xing'er was distressed, so he said, "Miss, you have been pampered since you were a child, where have you suffered like this, let's go to the roadside to rest!" ”

Deng Sui smiled and said, "It's not in the way, I'm very happy today!" But it's okay, let's sit on the side of the road and take a break, isn't it almost time to get to Monteon? ”

Deng Lu was thirteen years old, which was the age of naughty and naughty, bouncing along the way, like a monkey, always making Deng Sui laugh. At this time, he said, "Miss, I'll carry you away, there is no place on the side of the road, be careful to stain Miss's clothes." ”

Deng Sui looked around and saw a towering ancient locust not far away, with a crown like a plate, forming a large shade. Not only was he very happy, but he said happily, "Look, that ancient locust, let's go under the tree to rest for a while and drink some water, I'm a little thirsty." ”

Xing'er also saw the tree and hurriedly said, "Okay, just get there." Hey, miss, you see, there seems to be someone under the tree! ”

Deng Lu was flexible, ran over early, and saw an old woman and a young girl lying under the tree. The girl was fourteen or fifteen years old, with big eyes that were extremely smart, and her forehead was smooth, but her lips were dry, and she was hungry and thirsty when she thought about it. Although he was dressed in coarse cloth and covered with patches, he was still clean and clean, and I felt pity. Suddenly, a little guy appeared in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and didn't know what to say.

Deng Sui and Xing'er arrived later, and said angrily, "Deng Lu, you are so reckless, you scared the young lady. ”

He bowed his head to the girl and said, "Sister, we want to come to the shade under the tree to disturb my sister, how is this old mother?" ”

The girl still stared and did not speak, but gradually tears flowed from her eyes, looking at the motionless old woman lying on the ground, wiping a handful of fallen tears with her cuffs, and gently patting the old woman's back.

Xing'er spread a piece of brocade printed with gold and silver powder on top of the protruding tree roots, asked Deng Sui to sit down, and took out the bamboo tube from the package for her to drink a few sips of water. Deng Sui's eyes kept staring at the lying old woman, and his eyes were full of sympathy. After drinking a few sips of water, he said to Xing'er, "Xing'er, you can give the old man a few sips of your water!" ”

Xing'er hesitated, refusing to give the water to the old woman to drink, thinking, this woman is so dirty, she drank water with a bamboo tube, how can the young lady drink it!

But seeing Deng Sui's resolute gaze, he reluctantly walked over and handed the bamboo tube to the girl. The girl took it, whispered thank you, and helped the old woman to her feet, wanting her to take a few sips of water. But under the pull, it turned out to be very heavy, and the old woman remained motionless, and it seemed that she had passed away.

The bamboo tube in the girl's hand slipped down, but fortunately Deng Lu was clever in his hand, but he saw that the girl was stunned for a long time before she slowly stood up and wanted to drag the old woman's body away. But after all, her strength was too small, and she was thin and thin, so where could she pull the corpse. I couldn't help but feel sad from it, and tears rained down for a while.

But the strange thing is that although she cried so sadly, she still looked proud, and she didn't look like she was bowing her head and begging for help. Deng Sui couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this girl. stood up and comforted softly, "Sister, people can't be resurrected after death, you still have to mourn!" ”

She looked up at the tall canopy of the tree, and said to the girl, "Sister, this tree is as tall as an umbrella and as a canopy, so it is better to bury the deceased next to the tree, and let her be accompanied by an ancient tree after her death, which is easy to identify and beneficial to the deceased." If you can't move the body, how can we help you? ”

As he spoke, he was about to help, so frightened that Xing'er and Deng Lu hurriedly ran over and stopped in front of her, "My little ancestor, what are you doing here, it's bad enough for us to go out and encounter this kind of thing, you still have to help others bury the corpses, Mrs. knows, and she won't pick the skin of the two of us." I beg you, if you really want to help, you might as well give her some money, buy a thin coffin, and bury her properly! ”

Deng Sui heard it and felt that it made sense, so he asked Xing'er to take the silver money to the girl. The girl didn't reach out to pick it up, she suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Miss, my name is Zhao Yu, Miss is a great favor to me, Zhao Yu will give up his life to report, and he will follow Miss in this life, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, as long as Miss has orders, Zhao Yu will never frown." ”

Deng Lu not only smiled when he heard this, "Why don't you talk like a girl, if you go to the grass and become a female king, it's quite like." ”

Deng Sui ignored him, helped Zhao Yu up and said, "What is this, it is important to bury the deceased, you two go to Mengcheng in front and ask someone to carry a coffin and bury her alive, Zhao Yu and I are waiting here, you go and go back quickly." ”

Xing'er was anxious, her face turned red, "Miss, what can I do, if something happens to you here, how can the two of us explain to Madame." I'm not going, I'm going, let Deng Lu go by himself, I'll stay with Miss. ”

Zhao Yu listened and said lightly, "If I have dry food to eat, Miss's safety will be placed on me, and Miss will be safe and sound." ”

Deng Sui was even more curious, ordered Deng to admit the dry food and put it in Zhao Yu's hands, and put the bamboo tube next to her, with a smile on his face, watching her gobble up, and after a while, he ate all the dry food of the three people.

Seeing Xing'er and Deng Lu's eyes, they were stunned. After Zhao Yu finished eating, he drank a few more sips of water in the bamboo tube, wiped his lips and said, "Although I haven't eaten enough, I still have some strength, you two can rest assured, Zhao Yu has also learned some martial arts since he was a child, he didn't eat for three days just now, he really has no strength, and now that his strength has recovered, he can rest assured that he can protect Miss." ”

Having said that, Xing'er still turned around in three steps. Deng Sui saw the two of them walking away, so he said to Zhao Yu, "Who are you, how did you end up here?" Who is yours who has died? ”

Zhao Yu picked a white flower on the ground and put it in a bun, tore off a piece of cloth from the placket of his clothes, and covered the old woman's face. Only then did he say slowly, "Zhao Yuzu is Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and his descendants were mostly living in Nanyue at that time, and my ancestors came to Guanzhong to avoid the disaster of war. My grandfather's family was in ruin, and this was my grandmother. She pointed to the old woman on the ground.

"My grandmother raised me when my parents died young, and when I was young, I had a large stomach, but my family couldn't afford rice to feed me, so I used to pick fruit in the mountains to fight my hunger. One day, the family ran out of food, and my grandfather went to the mountains to collect firewood in order to make a living, and was eaten by tigers and wolves. Hearing this, Deng Sui said "ah", with a sad look on his face.

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly, "Miss, don't be surprised, we are small people in the mountains and wilderness, this kind of thing often happens." My grandmother had no choice but to take me to beg for food. ”

Deng Sui said, "Then how do you learn martial arts?" ”

"When I was a child, I met a strong man in the mountains, and when he saw that I had strange roots, he taught me martial arts for a year. A year later, he was gone, leaving no name. ”

"Oh, so there was such an adventure!" Deng Sui couldn't help but sigh, only that there are many strange things in this world.

"Three months ago, my grandmother was seriously ill, and I really had no money for treatment, so I had to pick some grass and flowers in the mountains to heal, but I didn't know how to do it, and all I picked were some folk grass recipes, and I couldn't treat the symptoms. She wiped away a handful of tears after speaking.

"You haven't eaten or drunk in three days, haven't you?" Deng Sui asked her.

"Yes, in the past few days, my grandmother has been seriously ill, and I carried her to Mengcheng for medical treatment, but I couldn't get up anymore when I went to rest halfway."

Deng Sui was just about to speak again when he saw dust rising in the distance, and two horses galloping in their direction. When they were not far away, the man on the horse made a "huh" sound, and then grabbed the reins and stood still.

Both wore hats and coarse black linen clothes, one of them had a visible scar on his face, and the other had a disheveled beard.

Seeing the two of them stop, Zhao Yu immediately blocked in front of Deng Sui, his eyes widened, and his beautiful little face was extremely nervous.

These two people are He Shun and Li Xia, the murderers who assassinated Liu Chang in Duxianghou. After the two of them were ordered to kill, they were afraid that someone would find clues, so they came out to hide according to the rules. It's just that He Shun was in the color of wine, and he went to say goodbye to his friend, so he delayed for a day before leaving. On the road, the two of them didn't dare to take the big road, only took the small road, and they were very relieved of Dou Xian's strength, so they were not in a hurry.

In the middle of the journey, he was not only surprised to see two beautiful girls as beautiful as flowers and a lying corpse under a giant tree like an umbrella.

Li Xia was not surprised by the beauty of these two girls, he was surprised by the scene he saw. Although it is under the lone tree, the slightly smaller girl has an extraordinary bearing, from the direction of her own view, the giant tree is like an umbrella cover placed on top of her head, this is the appearance of the world, even if it is as calm as him, he can't help but be surprised!
