Chapter 7: Reunion
Lezhou City, which has been lively for a long time, suddenly became more lively. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It wasn't long before people everywhere saw a few locked men walking in front of them with their teeth downcast, followed by those who were crying, numb or frightened.
"Shame! Scum! Exterminate humanity! Listening to the victims crying about whether they had been forcibly kidnapped, drugged, or lured away, the onlookers were also excited.
A scholar jumped out and gritted his teeth and pointed at a person's teeth and shouted: "You and others take advantage of the danger of others, causing people's wives to be separated and the end of the world far away, aren't you afraid of the way of heaven!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone threw a rotten vegetable leaf at the human tooth, and then a small stone......
Still others were staring at the victims in the ranks.
"That young man looks quite clever, and my shop just happens to be short of an apprentice!"
"The woman looks like a worker, and there is one less servant in the backyard doing rough work."
Soon the people were taken away, and the victims were divided into those who wanted to go back to find their relatives and those who were willing to stay. When the official asked, a large group of people gathered around to listen, and soon some people with shallow eye sockets secretly wiped away tears:
"My hungry father and mother still live on a mouthful of porridge, how can I steal my life alone!"
"My woman and daughter are still suffering, I want to go to find her and my mother, don't let them be bullied."
"When I was abducted, my father was so sick that he only had one breath left, and I must go back! There is only one person left in the family except him, if my father is still here, I will do my filial piety! In case my father is gone, I will also get a coffin to send to his old man's house! ”
The enthusiastic people of Lezhou have given great support to the returnees. Some people have already carried dry food on their backs, but others have stuffed food into their arms; Some people get enough money to hire a big car, but I'm afraid that he doesn't have so much money in the years when there is no disaster or famine.
Many were sent to the gates of the city. Some of the people in the team took the lead in saluting, and the rest of them instantly bowed down. Several respectable old people hurriedly stepped forward to help, and after a few warm admonitions, the victims who accompanied the victims waved their hands and embarked on the journey to find their relatives.
Most of those who choose to stay are separated from their relatives long ago, or their family members are no longer there. Seven or eight of them gathered in a group, and some of them couldn't wait to go up and ask questions.
And Xiao Jing is running at all costs. Not counting the counties, there are several teams of people who have been trafficked into Lezhou City alone, and the ghost knows where Xiaoyuan is. Fortunately, he ate well some time ago, otherwise he would have fainted in minutes.
But he never saw Xiaoyuan's figure running around, so he slowly became anxious. Could it be that Xiaoyuan didn't come to Lezhou at all, and was sold somewhere nearby?
On a street west of the city stood a group of people, including several children. One official kept order, and the other shouted loudly with a paperwork: "The person who adopted the child is registered, don't forget!" ”
A small figure scurried about, unable to stare at it for a moment, and he got into his chair and looked around; When he was reprimanded, he stuck out his tongue and jumped down, and then went behind his back and grimaced at the adult.
"That's a nice kid." Not far away, a lady was so happy that her eyes narrowed into a slit: "Not to mention the lively and clever, she looks quite handsome and has a tiger head." Oops, what a delight. ”
As soon as the words fell, she changed her sad face and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand: "Pity my daughter-in-law, she doesn't have any character and appearance." It's been five years since she entered my house, and she hasn't given birth to a son and a half daughter, and I'm anxious about my wife! ”
A kind-hearted man next to him said: "Auntie, if you have a crush on any child, you have to do it early." No, Granny Zhao on the street is also there, and her daughter-in-law hasn't given birth for seven years......"
Before she could finish speaking, the old woman who had just woken up from a dream rushed forward. Just as she was about to rush to the child, the boy's eyes lit up, and he ran away like crazy.
"Brother Xiao Jing!" The little boy didn't have to go far before he fell on a big horse, but he immediately got up and continued to run: "Here I am! ”
These two voices shouted and drew people's attention. I saw that the child fell into the arms of a thin man, and he was still naughty just now, and he raised his voice and cried, tears and snot soon wet the man's clothes.
"Okay, okay, since you've found me, don't cry." Xiao Jing's nose was a little sour, but he still took a deep breath and held back the choking that was stuck in his throat.
"This Lezhou City is a prosperous place, if you are adopted, you will not have to worry about food and clothing." He patted Xiaoyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How about it, do you want me to help you find a good family?" ”
"Don't!" Dong Huaiyuan responded categorically: "I'm going to follow Brother Xiao Jing!" ”
"Why?" Although he was not surprised by this answer, Xiao Yuan's resoluteness still surprised Xiao Jing.
Dong Huaiyuan blinked his eyes a few times, looking like he was brainstorming. After a while, he raised his head and said seriously: "Brother Xiao Jing has the ability!" If you can find me, you can help me find my sister! Also, there must be food to eat with my brother! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jing, who couldn't cry or laugh, looked up at the sky and sighed. At his age, I'm so innocent and unsensible, right?
Well, today's sky is so blue.
At the eastern intersection, someone poked his head out of a passing car and quickly lowered the curtain.
"Miss, there are too many people over there who can't see clearly, it should be relatives who recognize each other, right?" Lian'er sighed: "In this short day, the maid has shed tears several times. ”
Xia Hanxue, who was sitting and drinking tea, smiled: "Speaking of which, it is also the credit of that Xiao Gongzi. If it weren't for his actions, I'm afraid that the people in Lezhou City would still treat the victims as before. ”
She shook her head slightly. If no one had said anything about this and created such a big momentum, Uncle Du would probably turn a blind eye, right?
Lian'er snorted very unhappily: "Miss, that Xiao Gongzi is too hateful." Even if he did a good deed, he wasn't afraid that if something happened to the young lady, would he be implicated? We made the pen and paper. ”
"This kind of thing to save people from fire and water must be done no matter what. In case something happens, Uncle Du will never embarrass me. Xia Hanxue said slowly: "Besides, although I don't know why, I always feel that he is at least eighty percent sure." If you are afraid of being implicated, wouldn't it be better to cut off those words and paper when he resigns? ”
As she spoke, she picked up the article left by Xiao Jing again and read it casually. Would he give the manuscript to someone else, was it really just because he cherished the paper? Or is this thin-skinned person really not knowing how to ask for help?
Xiao Jing found Xiaoyuan, and Miss Xia also set foot on the way home.
The heat of disaster relief in the city of Lezhou has only subsided after nearly a month. As soon as the gates of the city were opened early that morning, four hurried men walked out with their heads bowed.
"Are there still people in a hurry to hunt these days? Don't run into big bugs. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw that the four men had abandoned the avenue and headed straight for the bumpy and difficult mountain road, so they yawned and cursed.
The men walked quickly, and it was only two hours before they entered the uninhabited mountains. The man in green who took the lead shouted, and the team stopped, and several people took out dry food and nibbled on it, and from time to time raised their water bladders to take a sip.
"We have escaped, but we have suffered Xiao Liuzi, but he only entered the industry this year." A man with an unbearable look on his face mourned: "This is three thousand miles, and I am afraid that it will be ...... on the road Ay. ”
"You kid are like a. If he doesn't go, will he let us go? A man with five big and three rough eyes glared at him: "If you have this thought, it's better to think about it first, let's spoil Master Wang's errand, how can we go back and pay the errand!" ”
"It's just you two talking, aren't you?" The man in green said coldly: "This kind of thing, you have your own way to say when you go back, so you need to worry about it?" ”
The man in green was the leader of the group. As soon as he spoke, the two men immediately shut their mouths. Everyone was eating by themselves, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Suddenly, a man sitting and eating jumped up from the rock. Choking on a mouthful of dry food, he wanted to shout something, but before he let out a muffled "hmm", a feathered arrow pierced his throat.
"What people!" Hearing the sound of breaking the sky, the man in green, who reacted very quickly, rolled on the spot, and was able to avoid the arrow that shot at him; There were two more screams from behind him, and it was his other two companions who were also shot.
He got up and flashed behind a boulder. No more arrows were fired from the opposite side, and the surroundings became surprisingly quiet, and only the "hissing" sound of a few people with more air and less air could be heard.
The man in green took a deep breath and said loudly, "I don't know which way of my friends?" In the next way, there is no offense, please don't misunderstand! There will be a day when the rivers and lakes will meet again in the future, please ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill run over his head. Instinctively looking up, he saw that a mountain rock the size of a millstone had fallen from the cliff behind him, and the stone was getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision......
This is the last picture that the man in green sees in his life.
