Chapter 188, the main stream of protecting the old is put in the northwest, and the road of exile is strong
Situ Yan slept sweetly here, but Wu Jin didn't have a good time there.
In July, it was the hottest time, not only were there many mosquitoes, but there were also torrential rains for two days in a row, and the officers and soldiers escorted were in a hurry, even if it was raining heavily, Wu Jin was still locked with a flail, so that both of his shoulders had been ground out of blood blisters.
Li Youzhu followed all the way, and sent silver money three times in a row before talking to the escorted officers and soldiers, in order to let Wu Jin sit on the donkey cart, he got several cars at once, so that all the prisoners had a car to sit in. Of course, it was also necessary to get a donkey cart for the officers and soldiers who escorted him, and at this moment he was sitting on the donkey cart at the front to drive the cart for the officers and men as a coachman.
"You slave is loyal, can you want to protect him all the way to Liangzhou?" Several officers and soldiers were also moved by Li Youzhu's behavior, and after inquiring, they learned that although Li Youzhu called Wu Jin the eldest young master, he was not a slave in the Wu Mansion, this Wu Jin was just his old master, and he admired Li Youzhu a little more.
"The eldest young master is pitiful, he was burdened by Master Wu, so he was filled into a military household. If the first master is still alive, how can the eldest young master suffer this crime, it is all blamed on the incompetence of the little one, and he can't repay the kindness of the first master, and he can't save the eldest young master. ”
"This Wu Jin is really blessed to meet a minion like you. It seems that this Wu Jin is not a heinous person, I heard that he was still a showman of the previous dynasty, so he was used as a military household, and even his descendants can only be military households, it is a pity to be young. The officers and men couldn't help but feel sorry for Wu.
"But it's not a matter for you to do this, when he arrives at the border of Liangzhou, he still has to enter the military camp to practice and cultivate the tuntian, can't you help with it?"
"Being able to help is a handful, being able to do your part, and the small ones can feel better, and when they get underground, they will have the face to see the first master." Li Youzhu wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then glanced at Wu Jin and the bolt in the car behind him, feeling sad and just wanting to cry.
"Hey! It's a pity! The sound of chatting in the car in front of him drifted into Wu Jin's ears with the wind, Li Youzhu was able to treat him like this at this time, but it was very surprising to him, when he just left Beijing, it was raining and he was in a hurry, which really made him suffer, and several times he thought that he couldn't hold it out, and just wanted to lie on the ground and die.
Just when he was about to give up, he saw Li Youzhu and Cui Ping, and at that time, the two appeared in front of him like life-saving bodhisattvas, and they sent food to the officers and soldiers, and they also sent money, so that he finally had a donkey cart, and only then did the escort not so difficult.
Now that he heard Li Youzhu's words, he was even more burned, and it was really his luck to be able to be like this, "Bolt, if I Wu Jin still has the day to turn over, I will not forget the grace of your father." ”
"Don't say that, the eldest young master, the slave can follow the eldest young master, and the eldest young master has to take care of it for many years, which is the luck of the slave, and the father and mother are also doing this to repay the grace of the master's mother, not enough to mention. Young Master, you must take care of your body, maybe in a few days, the eldest lady will be found. Your brothers and sisters will meet again. ”
"I'd rather Yan'er stay in Beijing than suffer this crime, you have seen it along the way, even the county is slightly depressed, I'm afraid that after entering Liangzhou, it will be even more inhabited, if Yan'er finds it, where is the suffering of her as an eldest lady can endure."
"The slave thinks that the eldest lady must be able to endure this hardship, thinking that the eldest lady can escape all the way from Henan County to Xinchang County, Liaodong County, and can also run the household book of the orphaned and young household for herself. The slave felt that as long as the eldest lady got the letter, she would definitely find it. ”
"Oh, why didn't Yan'er mention this in her letter, what else do you know? Don't lie to me. In order to appease Wu Jin, the bolt quickly told Situ Yan about it, and then he had to tell the general how Situ Yan went to Xinchang County alone with the dart bureau, and what kind of house he lived in.
Wu Jin's tears flowed when he listened, and he choked up, "My Yan'er, but I have suffered hardship." Why didn't you say it earlier, I can also take Yan'er back. ”
"Young Master, when Wu went over, he wanted to take the eldest lady back when he saw that she was living like that, but the eldest lady herself refused. The eldest lady is also thinking about your future, and she doesn't want you to fall out with Master Wu, and she also thinks that you can take advantage of the situation to enter the court as an official, and you have the opportunity to avenge hundreds of people in the Situ Mansion. ”
"Actually, if you want to come here, it's okay if you don't pick it up, at least Yan'er can escape this catastrophe, and you don't have to be exiled to the army with me, otherwise you don't know what kind of life you have to live when you get to the border. It's my incompetence as a big brother. ”
"Young Master, how can I blame you, although the eldest lady is not rich, but Wu Guo said that people look very good, and the four brothers of Li Dazhu's family take good care of the eldest lady, this time Youzhou was hit by a disaster, and the eldest lady has already made preparations, and I think that I may already be on the way to the northwest when I come here." The bolt didn't know what he thought, he just had a feeling that the eldest lady would never look at the eldest young master in trouble and not help. He even had a feeling that the eldest lady would definitely be able to save the eldest young master. It is precisely with this mood that he is more determined to follow the eldest young master and protect the eldest young master.
"Bolt, when I rest later, you can help me call Manager Li, I want to ask Yan'er about it carefully."
"Yes."
The two stopped talking for a while, and when they rested at night, Li Youzhu sent some wine and food to the escorted officers and soldiers, so that they could talk to Wu Jin for a while.
"Young Master, the servant brought a chicken, you can eat it while it's hot!"
"Manager Li, let these go first, you can tell me about Yan'er. The bolt has already told me, you and Yan'er are hiding it from me together, it must be her idea, but now it's difficult for me to find her, so you can tell me everything you know, so that I can have a letter in my heart, and I can feel at ease. ”
Li Youzhu also understood, he was afraid that the bolt was about to leak out for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't hide the matter, he learned from Wu Jin how the eldest lady arranged them and how to live in Lijia Village, and he didn't know the details very well, most of them were heard from Wu Guo's mouth.
Xu had cried during the day, but at this time Wu Jin just sighed, but he didn't cry sadly, "Hey, Yan'er has suffered so much, it's all my incompetence as a big brother, but even if I get Xin'er at this time, I can't protect her." I only hope that she is auspicious, and she can really turn evil into good fortune, you and Cui Ping should go back to Beijing, with this donkey cart, at least I can live to Yumen Pass. I still can't rest assured Yan'er, you can help me take care of her when you go back. ”
"Young Master, the slave has already sent Wu over to look for the eldest lady, and also left a letter for him, if the eldest lady goes to the northwest to find it, with Wu Guo to protect her, there will be no mistakes. If you stay in Beijing, you have the rent of two shops, and the money in the cellar of Shuanghe Village, although you can't live a life of fine clothes and food, but you can live better than ordinary people, you don't have to worry. The slave will send you to Yumen Pass all the time, and it will be too late to return to Beijing to find the eldest lady when you are settled. ”
"Hey, okay, even if I let you go, I'm afraid you won't want to, then follow it! It's just that you have to save a little money on your money, and this road is still long! ”
The two said a few more words, and some officers and soldiers came to urge, and Li Youzhu had to leave first. Wu Jin returned to the place where the prisoners were held, and only then was Wu Dra's side, "Jin'er, you told your father, how could Li Youzhu come with him, isn't he missing?" ”
Wu De was bored for so many days, and only then did he find an opportunity to ask his son about Li Youzhu.
"Father, Li Youzhu and Cui Ping are not missing, but the child redeemed his life and restored his good name. Perhaps it was because of my kindness that he wanted to escort me all the way to the northwest border city. ”
"Okay, this is good, you talk to Li Youzhu, let him send more money to the officers and soldiers, and get some delicious food for the master, after these days, eating some coarse cakes really cost me my life."
"Father laughed, this Li Youzhu and Cui Ping were originally the servants of Situ Mansion, you saw Aunt Qin kill your mother, not only did you ignore it, but even Yan'er wanted to harm her, she is your daughter-in-law, how can you be ruthless. At this time, you want Li Youzhu to help you get good food, he won't give you a stumbling block along the way, and there is a donkey cart for you to ride, so for the sake of the child's face, you can rest that thought! ”
Wu Jin hated this father so much that he didn't even want to say a word to him, let alone pretend to be polite. In fact, if he spoke, this Li Youzhu would help Wu Jin get some food, but not to mention that he was unwilling, even if he and Cui Ping were afraid that they were also unwilling.
"You unfilial and disobedient son, now that the master has lost power, you are also the same as that slave, you can't worship high and step on low, and you can't read all the sage books in the dog's stomach?"
"People are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, people respect me a foot, I respect him, if you have this leisure, you should think about it, how did you treat your wife and the child's mother at the beginning?"
Wu Jin also stopped talking to Wu De, pulled the quilt and fell asleep. Wu De was angry and anxious, listening to Wu Jin's words, he knew what he had done to Situ Wan in the first place, and this son already knew about it, so he was so angry that he sat on the ground all night, and he didn't come up with a good way. The next day, he hurried on the road again, and within three days he fell ill, and the officers and soldiers who escorted him thought that this man was an important prisoner and could not die on the road, so they got him some porridge and grabbed a handful of medicine, and finally saved his life. But he didn't enjoy it for a few days, and when he got better, like other prisoners, he nibbled on black flour cakes and wild vegetables.
Aunt Qin was not so lucky, as early as the tenth day out of the capital, she was caught by the officers and soldiers because she escaped, and was beaten to death with a stick, and her child was too young and sick, and the officers and soldiers were in trouble, so they were directly sold to people. Wu Jin just watched, and even when his half-brother was sold, he didn't help persuade him. In fact, Wu Jin looked at it coldly and said the past, but even Wu De just watched, and didn't even say a word, which made people feel chilled.
Even Wu De, in order to make his life better, forced his concubine to accompany the officers and soldiers to sleep, how could Wu Jin not be disappointed in such a father. Of course, these officers and soldiers did not refuse to come, but they did not take care of Wu De, and for people like him, these people did not beat or scold, even if they were extraordinarily gracious. Although Wu Jin didn't talk much along the way, they had a good impression of him and took care of him many times, although it was related to the silver money given by Li Youzhu to eat, but it was more of a pity and appreciation for him.
