Chapter 239: Reunion
Jinli Bay is shaped like a gourd, the bottom of the gourd leans on the water's edge, and in addition to the water side is the stone bank and the woods that stand around, a narrow road such as the gourd is quite a husband and a close trend, in the weekday the merchant ships of the smugglers rarely go here, but also more are afraid of being inspected by the soldiers or the black water thieves to block the mouth of the gourd and make people angry.
However, at present, the special topography here provides a cheap advantage for Tibetans in the midst of chaos and turmoil.
A boat full of river crossers was slowly leaving the temporary dock, while another boat that was hovering far away in the middle of the river was also slowly moving to fill the vacant berth after receiving the flag.
The boats came and went, and everything was as orderly, so that the dense refugees on the beach felt a hopeful quiet and peaceful in their hearts.
The sun shines on Jinli Bay, and the red reef with red gold pockmarks shines with a fine golden light in the sun, which makes Man Yun's eyes in the shack on the bank of the river flicker for no reason, and his heart is shaken.
The golden covenant with Hongmei at the beginning, the navigation proverbs that came out in the city, and the crowds gathered on the shore of this bay later, the new and vivid present suddenly made people feel the meaning of their efforts.
Xiakou City was breached in advance is also considered a beautiful day, during this period of time there is no wind and no rain, the ferry across the river smoothly, if according to the vague memory of the previous life, dragged to the continuous rain in early October, not only is it difficult to ferry, but even the current thatched hut that is only temporarily erected on the river bank to accommodate a bunch of victims is not feasible at all.
Just like in the dark night, it is inevitable that you will be alone and lament the impermanence of fate, crowded in the crowd under the warm sun, even if you are still at a loss for the future, but you will have more courage.
Man Yun lowered his head and smiled lightly, put his hand off the forehead of a five or six-year-old child, and whispered to comfort the worried young mother beside the child, "Sister-in-law Lei." Erbao was just frightened and caught a cold, and it was not a big problem, and he was still able to cross the river by boat. ”
Hearing Man Yun's chiseled voice, the surrounding crowd breathed a sigh of relief. People who don't know the root cause live together, and the most fearful thing is that after the chaos, they will infect each other and cause a big epidemic.
"I'll just say that my family's two treasures are fine!" , the thick and round healthy woman shouted angrily at the "neighbor" who had been alarmist before. While stretching out his big hand, he desperately pressed the two little heads in his arms together and asked them to kowtow to Man Yun to thank him.
Three years of hugging the two of them came to shoulder to shoulder, the same tiger head and tiger brain, knelt down and looked at the big one, and then got up together in a daze.
When the mother's loud voice began to flutter towards the child again.
"It's over! The sister-in-law does not have to embarrass the children. Your boat is on tomorrow morning, and I happened to find some herbs for Xiaobao to eat first, so that he can feel better on the boat. ”
"How can it be enough! I have to let them remember that in this world, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil...... If it weren't for their dead ghost father who did all the bad things and didn't accumulate virtue, how could he lose his money and lose his life again. They almost didn't survive......"
Apparently, a vulgar woman of low birth counted her long-dead husband without any scruples.
Man Yun glanced at the two children standing on the side, the older numb and the smaller red-faced. She couldn't help but sigh softly, and opened her mouth to persuade: "Sister-in-law Lei, look back at the child's face, right ......"
But before she could speak, she saw Dabao, who was being held by Sister-in-law Lei, twisted her small body into a twist. And everyone around him also shifted their attention with different expressions.
The sound of horses' hooves from the far away from Hukou shattered the calm of the river......
"Bing. It's the soldiers! Someone with sharp eyes took the lead in shouting, which suddenly aroused a panicked noise, which spread like ripples around.
Although I don't know the actual origin of the ferry, the people who fled here more or less understand that Jinyu Bay should be a hidden private ferry, and if they meet with the official faces, it may lead to a lot of trouble.
The Hukou trail where the carriages and horses can enter the beach shore is guarded by Yang. That is the old man of the Du family who has been following Jiangnan since ten years ago, and he should not have quietly marched into the enemy, at least he will report to Du Xuanshuang, who is now presiding over the transition.
As soon as Man Yun's thoughts came to his heart, he heard Du Xuanshuang's voice from afar, "Don't be afraid! Own! ”
Own? Doubts swirled in Man Yun's eyes. But looking at the crowd that was gradually quieting down under the advice of Du Xuanshuang's messengers, he only pursed his lips without saying a word, and raised his feet and walked towards the end of the narrow road leading to Jiangwan step by step.
After only a few steps, Zhou Manyun stood stunned.
She turned around a few grass huts, and could already see the crossings with checkpoints, a car and several riders were parked and politely waiting for Du Xuanshuang to lead people to remove the roadblocks that hindered the traffic.
Bright in the crowd!
Even though it was still thirty feet away, Man Yun's gaze was still fixed on the man standing by the carriage.
Although the face covered in the armor mask was not clear, she could recognize him as the one she was determined to find by just the movement of her body.
Actually found? Man Yun's throat itched, the upper layer of autumn light appeared in his eyes, and he picked up the corner of his robe and ran towards the checkpoint, which was both urgent and fast.
The wooden fence has been opened, and the cars and horses are moving, and they are also coming in the direction of the beach.
See him like this?
Man Yun uneasily touched his own plain bun that was only curled with grass hairpins, as well as the crumpled black clothes on his body, and suddenly stopped his steps ten zhang away, and silently stood beside Hongmei, who also came, and held Hongmei's arm.
"Is it my uncle?" , Hongmei, who also recognized people, whispered in Man Yun's ear, the eyes that had been taught by Bai Lu all night last night still had a faint black dai, and an enthusiastic arm had been raised firmly towards the front while asking, reminding attention.
Du Xuanshuang, who was talking to Xiao Hong, was obviously full of sunshine and waved his hand at Hongmei. He had only come to Jinyu Bay for the past two days, and he didn't know what Man Yun had done, and he was still excited to meet his nephew and son-in-law.
Xiao Hong glanced in the direction where the two women were standing under Du Xuanshuang's prompting, and then quickly turned his head away, and pressed the mask on his face more solidly.
Even if Du Xuanshuang didn't prompt him, he had already noticed a woman who could be recognized among thousands of people at a glance.
If his heart was full of joy when he first watched her fly over like a little bird, then after Man Yun stopped stupidly not far away, Xiao Hong's heart immediately stopped a beat.
He hadn't planned to see her here. However, thinking that this place must be related to her, Jin Yu may not be able to meet Yun Jinfan's people, and ask her about her current situation.
But the real person is here, but he stands so far away. The silk is messy, the face is pale, the eyes are dull and the legs are sluggish, as if suddenly seeing yourself as if you have seen a ghost in broad daylight......
The mask covered his excited expression, and a little stubbornness in his heart suddenly blocked Xiao Hong's steps, he lowered his head and stretched out his hand, slowly lifted the curtain of the car, and whispered to the car.
"Why doesn't my uncle pay attention to people?" , Hongmei's hand pinched Man Yun's arm, and also pinched her heart, but it was even more ruthless again, "Who is the woman in the car?" ”
There are beauties in the car, even if they are also dressed in similar black clothes, but they still have a face like white jade, lips like Handan, and they look very smart with their eyes, and they don't need to be helped, and they generously hold the car door and stand firmly on the ground.
"Sister Yun!" , As soon as Hongmei was dragged to the side of the car with hidden anger, the stunned Man Yun was suddenly hugged by Cai Lizhu.
Cai Lizhu, who saw her acquaintance at first glance, buried her head in Man Yun's neck, tears rolled down unconsciously, and pear blossoms wept rain.
"It just so happened that Xiaoliu rescued Grandma Luo Shao in Xiling Mountain, and when she heard that she was coming to Jinxu, she sent someone over." , Du Xuanshuang explained with a smile on the side, feeling that fate is wonderful, and by chance, Man Yun can also avoid the pain of going north to find a husband.
Man Yun, who was tightly embraced by Cai Lizhu, once again cast her eyes on Xiao Hong's face, blocked by a mask, and all she could see was her unwavering eyes.
The forgetful dust that day was used by Xiao Hong, and when did his memory stop? Farewell to Xi Ze, or is it a prostitute in Qingyuan? Manyun's mind was in turmoil, and he only whispered in his mouth what Xuanshuang had told, "He saved Lizhu in Xiling Mountain?" ”
"Yes!" , Hearing Man Yun's question, Lizhu instantly burst into laughter, turned to Xiao Hong and bowed respectfully and generously, "Thanks to the general's rescue, I was able to see my sister here." ”
"It's just a matter of raising your hands!"
But...... Just one of them, but he was also said to be low and gentle, full of closeness. Man Yun's teeth couldn't help but knock on his red lips, and the tears that flashed in his anger were full of sentimentality.
It's Xiling Mountain again, and it's another bride, can't it be that God always arranges for Xiao someone to forcibly take the life of his wife, right?
Evil was born from the guts, and Man Yun raised his voice with a hint of jealousy: "Red Plum! Look at why Luo Yanxing hasn't come here yet! ”
"I just sent someone to summon it!" , Seeing that the woman who came was not the enemy of the young lady, Hongmei responded with a smile.
"Husband is really here!" , Lizhu jumped up with joy, and her expression, which had calmed down, became even more anxious.
"Yes! Luo Sanshao is here, and he threatened me to find you last night, saying that if I don't find you, I will jump into the Tuojiang River! Man Yun's voice couldn't help but be a little higher, and the corners of his eyes squinted at Xiao Hong, who had been standing on the side and looking at Lizhu.
Speaking affectionately to Lizhu, Man Yun also beat the drum nervously in his heart. She talked to Lizhu's husband last night, it wasn't him who threatened her, but Man Yun hit people, saying that he wouldn't help find Lizhu, Luo Sanshao, a person who lost his wife, simply filled in the Tuojiang River, and would be disgusted by the fish and shrimp in the river.
Pretending! With a soft snort, the masked man turned around noncommittally and whispered to Xuan Shuang and his subordinates, ignoring the almost exaggerated sisterhood that Man Yun had shown.
Not long after, a young Confucian in a green shirt staggered and ran straight towards Lizhu...... (To be continued......)
