Chapter 318: Abandoned Baby
Since Qiu Qianren was hit by Huang Yaoshi's penetrating nail, no matter what, he would not dare to resist again. After a brief discussion between Yankang and Huang Yaoshi, Huang Yaoshi decided to return to Zhongnanshan alone to provide assistance for Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong to heal their injuries.
Before leaving, Wan Yankang also specially asked Huang Yaoshi to collect Ouyang Feng's corpse so that he could burn the Nine Yin True Scripture on his grave in the future.
Huang Yaoshi sighed: "Although this person has a poor character, after all, he also has a relationship with me, I will take him to Zhongnan Mountain and find a good place in feng shui to bury him." ”
After explaining a few important things, Huang Yaoshi left a bottle of Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill for Yan Kang, and immediately drifted away.
After Yan Kang and Qiu Qianren, they set off together and went to Zhongdu.
The two of them crossed the mountain, and it was already the time of sunset. Wan Yankang saw smoke rising from a distance of more than ten miles to the northeast, so he said to Qiu Qianren: "Gang Master Qiu, let's go to the village to find a family to stay for one night, how about it?" ”
Qiu Qianren bowed slightly: "Little prince, don't call Qiu Gang Leader Qiu, you can't afford it." ”
Wan Yankang smiled: "It's okay, it's called like this, after all, there are some raw points, and I will call it a thousand people in the future." ”
Qiu Qianren nodded in response: "Little prince, this is very good." ”
Wan Yankang said again: "You don't want to call me the little prince, let's go out, you call the young master, if you go to the army, you will call me a handsome man with everyone." ”
Qiu Qianren immediately said, "Yes, young master." ”
Wan Yankang saw Qiu Qianren so upright, and he was secretly happy in his heart, not to mention the hard work of this trip, at least he gained an excellent thug.
The two of them walked in the direction of the village for a while, passing a small river, and saw a man by the river, holding something in his hands, ready to throw it into the river. It's just that this person's hand is raised, but it is withdrawn, and after it is withdrawn, it is thrown again.
Wan Yankang felt a little strange when he saw this, so he said to Qiu Qianren: "Qianren, look at that person, what do you want to throw in your hand?" ”
Qiu Qianren looked fixedly: "Young master, it's not a baby!" ”
When Yan Kang heard this, he immediately rushed forward, and when he got close to this man, he saw that this person was really a baby in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you going to do!" ”
The man was shocked when he heard this, and the baby in his hand almost fell into the water, he turned around vigilantly while holding the baby steady, and said to Wan Yankang: "Who are you?" ”
Wan Yankang slowly approached this person, suppressed his anger and said: "I am a person who sees injustice on the road, if you have a grudge against someone, you just care about seeking revenge, what kind of ability is it to murder other people's babies!" ”
As he spoke, he swept forward, pushing the man away, and at the same time gently and skillfully snatched the baby.
After Yan Kang's push, he didn't use half of his internal force, but he had already pushed this man to a fart.
This man is also tall and tall, and he thinks he has a lot of strength, but he was pushed down by someone, and he knew that Wan Yankang was extremely difficult to mess with. He got up and said with a face full of grievances: "This hero, do you know that this baby is not from another family, it is my blood and bones!" ”
The baby was already asleep, and after the tossing and turning, he immediately began to cry. Wan Yankang gently shook the baby and coaxed it, while taking a closer look, he saw that although the baby looked like he had just been born, there was a bit of similarity between his eyebrows and eyes with this man. Suppressing his anger, he continued, "If it is really your baby, why did you throw him into the river?" ”
Two lines of tears flowed out of the man's eyes, and he sobbed: "Hero, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't live, although I Niusan was poor, I wouldn't have made such a decision......"
Wan Yankang was suspicious and asked him to lead the way home to find out.
Qiu Qianren walked closer and glared: "If you dare to deceive my young master, hum!" ”
Niu Sanlian didn't dare, and immediately led the way in front.
After arriving at the village, Wan Yankang looked around and saw that the village was not big, and there were only about 20 families in total. Most of the houses in the village are small households, and only one family in the southeast looks more generous.
After a short time, Niu San led Wan Yankang and the two to the most generous house and knocked on the courtyard door.
"San'er, you're back." An old lady with a sleek-faced face opened the door, and when she saw Niu San followed by two people, she couldn't help but ask vigilantly, "Who are these two?" ”
Niu San said in a low voice: "Mother, I met two good friends on the road, your old man went back to the house first." After speaking, he pushed the gate open and respectfully invited Yan Kang and the two into the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, Wan Yankang heard a faint cry from inside, and he remained silent, listening to the sound while walking inside.
Passing through the patio, a little boy ran out of the house, hugged Niu San's thigh and shouted, "Daddy, where is my sister?" ”
Niu San subconsciously looked back, then pulled the little boy up, and said in a deep voice: "Daddy has a friend here, go back to the house by yourself." ”
The little boy glanced at Wan Yankang and the two, looking timid, and reluctantly moved to the back room, and looked back at the baby in Wan Yankang's hand from time to time.
Niu San walked to the left side room, knocked on the door and shouted, "Hun family, you come out." ”
The weeping in the room subsided, and a weak female voice came: "I don't want to see you." ”
Niu San was embarrassed, and paused before saying, "The child is still there." ”
There was a bang in the room, followed by a cacophony. As soon as the door opened, a pale woman rushed out, pulling Niu San and asking urgently, "Where is the child?" What about children? ”
Wan Yankang handed the baby over: "The child is here." ”
Niu San's wife didn't care about asking Yan Kang, a stranger, where he came from, she took the baby and hugged it in her arms, and cried softly. After a while, the baby began to cry too. The woman hurriedly entered the room, closed the door, and went to nurse the child.
Niu San breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and said to Wan Yankang: "Thank you Daxia for dissuading me in time, or I will not be able to pass this level in my family's heart." ”
Through various signs, Wan Yankang had confirmed that what Niu San said was true, and he asked in a low voice: "I see that your family is quite well-off, why is this so?" ”
Niu San shook his head: "Hero, you don't know, my family has paid back the past days, since we have two emperors in Dajin, and we are fighting every day in front of us, this tax money and grain are collected one after another, and life is getting more and more difficult." My old mother was seriously ill a few days ago, and the little foundation in the family was spent. When my Hun family was the eldest child, she still had money to buy some meat for her to replenish her body, but now adults can't support her......" Speaking of this, Niu San couldn't say any more and began to whimper.
After Yan Kang waited for Niu San's mood to calm down a little, he continued to ask: "Your family is like this, what about other families?" ”
Niu San sighed: "In our Zhuangzi, there are twenty-five families, and my family is in a better situation. The eldest lady of the Li family in the east heard that she starved to death a few days ago because of lack of food. ”
Wanyan Kang was silent, and after a while, he said to Niu San: "Your Zhuangzi is not far from the mountain, and there seem to be a lot of birds and beasts in the mountain?" ”
Niu San said: "So that the hero can learn that there are big insects in this mountain, and the hunters in our Zhuangzi have folded three before and after on the mountain." In the past two years, we only dared to chop some firewood at the foot of the mountain, put a clip to catch some small beasts, and we didn't dare to go deeper. ”
After Yan Kang sighed, he thought for a while before saying: "You have bows and arrows at home, I will go up the mountain to catch a few birds and beasts to fight tooth sacrifices, and by the way, I will also make up for your wife's body." ”
Niu San waved his hand again and again: "There are big insects in the mountains, I can't help it, I can't help it!" ”
Wan Yan Kang laughed: "It's okay, if this big worm has a good fate, it won't come out tonight, if it's a bad fate, let's have a tiger meat feast." He looked around the house, and when he saw a bow and arrows hanging on the wall, he went straight up and took them down.
Qiu Qianren hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to say, "Young master, I will go to this kind of work, you can rest for a while." ”
Wan Yankang nodded: "It's okay." After saying that, he handed the bow and arrow to Qiu Qianren.
Niu San was still waiting to be dissuaded, Qiu Qianren's eyes glared: "Don't be verbose, serve my young master well!" ”
The speed at which Qiu Qianren entered the state made Wan Yankang a little surprised, he didn't know whether Qiu Qianren was really attached now, or because of the bone nail placed by Huang Yaoshi. But in short, this person's positive performance is enough to make Wan Yankang overjoyed.
Half an hour later, Qiu Qianren carried a roe deer, tied three hares and two pheasants with vines, and returned with a full harvest.
Wan Yankang volunteered, brought a pheasant to rectify the flower chicken, and instructed Niu San to leave another soup for his wife to make up for it. Niu San's wife was inconvenient to go out of the house, and Niu San and his old mother happily began to clean up the prey, and the family seemed to be jubilant.
As soon as the meat and vegetables were cooked, Niu San rummaged in the cellar at home for a while, and found a jar of old wine for entertaining Yan Kang and the others.
After the table, Wan Yankang saw that only Niu San was eating and drinking, so he asked him to call his mother and child over to eat together.
Niu San didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly invited his mother to come and sit down, and hugged his son out again.
Wan Yankang smiled, hugged Niu San's son, and stuffed a large piece of rabbit meat into his mouth. The little boy was still struggling when he was held by Wan Yankang, and as soon as he chewed the meat in his mouth, he immediately ate it.
Niu San saw that his son was eating too badly, so he couldn't help but glare, and signaled the little guy to be honest.
Wan Yankang glared at Niu San: "What are you staring at, how long has the child not eaten meat, and today is enough." ”
Niu San hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Wan Yankang took the initiative to clip a few large pieces of meat to Niu San's mother, picked up the wine bowl and said to the old lady: "Old lady, I'm chattering tonight, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I will pay tribute to your old man with this bowl of wine." ”
After Niu San's mother came to the table, she looked very restrained, and she didn't move her chopsticks much, so she quickly stood up at this time: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”
Qiu Qianren saw Yan Kang treat a village woman like this, his expression was sincere, many thoughts flashed in his heart, and after Yan Kang toasted, he also picked up a bowl of wine and said, "Young master, let's drink a bowl too." ”
Wan Yankang saw that Qiu Qianren's eyes seemed to have a deep meaning, he picked up the wine bowl and said meaningfully: "Qianren, we don't have much wine today, so let's drink a bowl." If the fate of you and me remains the same, there will be every year in the future. ”
Qiu Qianren drank it dry in one gulp, put down the wine bowl, arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, young master, you won't disappoint young master." ”
After being full of wine and meat, Niu San cleaned up the two rooms and asked Yan Kang and Qiu Qianren to rest.
Before entering the house, Wan Yankang poured a Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill and gave it to Qiu Qianren. Qiu Qianren was no longer polite, took the pill and took it immediately.
Early the next morning, Wan Yankang and Qiu Qianren went up the mountain to hunt some prey, left some silver taels for Niu San, and told him to take care of his wife, children and old mother, and then drifted away.
After Niu San sent Yan Kang and the two out of Zhuangzi, seeing that the two of them were getting faster and faster, he couldn't keep up anymore, so he had to fall to the ground and kowtow again and again.
