Chapter 84 Farewell
After drinking this meal, Li Xie was sixty percent drunk, but the official went directly under the table. After explaining to the shopkeeper, Li Xie called Su Ci, took the horse, and walked in the direction of the city gate.
At the beginning, those people who saw Li Xie respectfully saluted, and then looked at Li Xie's posture and asked, "Are you leaving?" ”
Li Xie responded casually: Yes, I returned the salute and didn't stay long. Then more and more people asked more and more people to salute.
Then, beside the street corridors, people began to come out, and there were fewer and fewer people talking to greet them, but without exception, men and women, young and old, all saluted respectfully.
At the back, more and more people gathered, all standing on both sides of the street. No one spoke, leaving the whole street silent.
But where Li Xie walked, the people standing on both sides of the street bowed one after another. Li Xie walked all the way, his scalp was numb, the cold hair on his body stood on end, goosebumps were tied up again and again, and his eyes had unconsciously turned red.
When he walked to the city gate, Li Xie looked back behind him, and the people did not leave with Li Xie's walking, but followed him from a distance.
Li Xie didn't know how many people came to see him off this time, all he could see was the heads of others who couldn't see them layer by layer.
"Thank you! Xie, deserve it. Li Xie hugged his hands in front of him, shoulder-to-shoulder, and slowly bent down until ninety degrees, and performed a very solemn scholarly ceremony.
"Good go, adults!"
"Have a nice trip, sir."
"Your Excellency will come back and see us when you're free."
"Adult ......"
This group of ordinary people all came to see them off consciously, and they have undergone unified training and consultation, so naturally there will be no unified slogan.
Therefore, when countless people say goodbye, it is actually very messy. It felt like thousands of ducks singing at the same time, and it was completely clear what the other people were saying in these voices.
The sound continued, spreading backwards, and it was so noisy that I couldn't hear what they were saying.
Li Xie didn't have the slightest impatience, so he listened quietly with a smile on his face. Even with Li Xie's hearing, he couldn't hear what so many people were saying when they were talking together.
But it didn't matter, he knew in his heart that these were the voices of the people, from the bottom of his heart. Those voices were very noisy, but Li Xie listened to them like fairy music in his ears.
It wasn't until the sound stopped completely that Li Xie turned around and walked towards the city gate, out of the city gate, and after walking out of the city gate for only a hundred steps, there were dozens of people standing there, looking like they were also here to see off.
Seeing these people, Li Xie didn't have the gentleness he had when he treated the people. didn't wait for them to speak, splitting their heads and covering their faces was a lesson:
"It's all too idle, isn't it? Didn't you say goodbye yesterday? What are you doing today? If there's a mess in the city today, worry about your ass. ”
More than a dozen people were speechless for a while, and after looking at each other for a while, the master temporarily appointed by Li Xie took the lead in saluting:
"I wish you a smooth journey."
The rest of the people followed suit, and Li Xie waved his hand as if he didn't appreciate it:
"Empty head, okay, let's go back."
Then he got on the horse and pulled it down with a whip, the horse was in pain, and he ran away with his hooves raised, Su Ci didn't speak the whole time, but followed closely behind Li Xie.
When the horse's pain eased and slowed down, Su Ci caught up with Li Xie, and then he had time to say a sentence:
"If you become an official in the future, you will definitely be a good official, a good official for the benefit of the people."
"What an adult, why are you following them and shouting nonsense!" Li Xie turned his head to look at the big brother not far away, but he didn't see the slightest hint of joking on his face.
"Really, if you become an official, you can definitely benefit one party." Su Ci is not a literate person, just two sentences over and over, either for the benefit of the people, or for the benefit of one party.
But when he said this, his expression was expectant, and his tone was serious and solemn, but it gave Li Xie some different feelings.
"Why?" Li Xie asked unconsciously, he felt that he had just done his part. He temporarily took over the city of Dragon Canyon, so he managed it to the best of his ability.
To be honest, it wasn't difficult, and he didn't feel how good he was. Don't you see that he still has a lot of time to go out and hang out and talk to someone every day?
He just felt that he had just done what he was supposed to do, the most basic thing. But this is how to do it, so that the people in the city can say goodbye.
is what should be done, but Su Ci didn't dare to call him by his name anymore, didn't dare to call you kid, you kid, and turned to call him an adult from the bottom of his heart.
It is these most basic things, but Su Ci, an honest man who doesn't have much ink in his stomach, thinks from the bottom of his heart that if he becomes an official in the future, he will be a good official for the benefit of the people.
"Because the adult is a capable person!" Su Ci also thought that Li Xie was asking why he was a good official for the benefit of the people, so he said his opinion very sincerely.
Li Xie didn't care at all about Su Ci's answer, and after smiling at him, he didn't speak, was silent, and hurried all the way. The farewell of the people and Su Ci's heartfelt voice touched Li Xie's heart a lot.
Let Li Xie really understand the ordinary people in this world, and truly understand the other side of these ordinary people in addition to the swishing and fear of power.
At this moment, Li Xie suddenly felt that the ordinary people were so cute and worthy of his help.
"Good! I'll be an official in the future. As the sun set, on the main road next to the forest, Li Xie, who had not spoken for a long time, turned his head and said to Su Ci without a head.
Su Ci didn't know why Li Xie suddenly said this, nor did he know what kind of psychological journey Li Xie had experienced, let alone that Li Xie was giving him a promise. He only knows that Li Xie can be an official, and that is a good thing.
It was already evening, and seeing that there was no store in front of the village, Li Xie knew that he was going to spend the night in the field today. But fortunately, because I had to travel, I had expected this kind of thing.
Li Xie and Su Ci each prepared some dry food, and found a location near the mountains and water, surrounded by no jungle, only knee-high grass, and relatively open terrain, so they planned to spend the night here.
Untied the water bag, took out the dry food, and the two of them ate their own food. While eating, Li Xie suddenly remembered an interesting thing:
"Brother Su, I'm afraid you won't believe it if you tell you something. Huang Yu you are talking about, I may know ......"
"Your Excellency is joking, how can you possibly know my son?" In Su Ci's opinion, Li Xie can lurk in the barracks as a fine worker, and then he can take charge of a city alone.
Such a talented and capable person must be a person who has been cultivated by great efforts in the family of big people. Such a person is far from the poor people, how can he know his son?
Li Xie saw that Su Ci didn't believe it, so he told the whole story of the encounter with Huang Yu. Then, with his memory, he carefully explained Huang Yu's appearance and figure, dressing up, and small movements when talking and arguing with others.
Su Ci couldn't believe it at first, feeling that what Li Xie said was not the same person as his son, after all, even if his biological father hadn't met for several years, he was still a little strange.
But when talking about those little habits, Su Ci felt more and more that the person Li Xie was talking about was his son. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and I still know what my son looks like. Even if I haven't seen him for a few years, my son will definitely change when he goes to school in a big place, but in general, those small habits will not change.
In the end, when Huang Yu had difficulty sending money to his family because of the continuous rain, Su Ci was sure that it was his son.
The two of them were chatting about sex, and Li Xie's ears moved, and he heard some extremely subtle sounds. The sound is choppy, spaced out at regular intervals, and very small.
Li Xie concluded that it was definitely not the sound made by the beast when it walked.
