Chapter 141: Brothers Sleeping Rough
Wu Song continued to beat the horse and galloped wildly, and said apologetically: "Brother, Wu Er really hurt you this time!" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Dalang heard this, he suddenly straightened his waist, and his body, which was originally a little frightened, actually stopped shaking, and said: "Since you beat your father and mother, you often get angry with people outside, and I am still less involved?" When did I blame you? We are brothers! ”
Wu Song's heart warmed. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info just urging the horse in his mouth, and did not speak again, but said in his heart: My brother, although he is known as the bark of the three-inch Dinggu, is not only cowardly!
Wu Dalang also has a character!
Qinghe County is getting farther and farther away, and the road ahead is sprinkled with blood red by the setting sun. The deserted villages and wild shops on both sides of the road, broken walls and ruins, look even more depressed.
Wu Dalang was originally worried that the minions and officers and soldiers of the Zhang Mansion were chasing after him, but he didn't hear the movement of the chasing soldiers at this time, so he was more determined and asked, "Erlang, how did you offend people this time?" Didn't the county magistrate appreciate you the most, why did he want the officers and soldiers to arrest you now? ”
Wu Song was in a hurry at this time, and said, "I'll tell my brother about these things later." At the moment, we can't stay in Qinghe County, let's go find a safe place first! ”
Wu Dalang said: "We don't have a penny on us at this time, but where are we going to settle down?" The whole world is owned by the government, and if you offend the government, where can you flee to? ”
Wu Song didn't answer for a while. He is a time-traveler, but he is not very familiar with the current geography. I don't know where to go.
Now, I just want to get as far away from Qinghe County as possible, and get out of Zhang Dahu's sphere of influence first.
Although the big family is the first hegemon of Qinghe, it is not enough to cover the sky with one hand everywhere. And Zhao Er, the secret envoy of the traitor Cai Jing, originally had no deep hatred for Wu Song, and at this time he was busy chasing Ma Kui and snatching the strange book, so it was difficult to be distracted, and he should not do his best to deal with Wu Song.
As for Xu En, although he has completely succumbed to Zhang Dahu, he always has some friendship with Wu Song, and he is not in a hurry to force Wu Song to death.
Therefore, as long as they leave Qinghe County and get out of Zhang Dahu's sphere of influence, the brothers should be able to be safe for the time being.
Thinking like this, Wu Song made up his mind a little and continued to fight the horse and walk quickly. They were walking on an avenue, and such an official avenue would always lead to other towns.
When it was dark, the brothers followed the starlight, still beating their horses and running on the road. Until the horse was panting and some couldn't run, Wu Song thought to himself that after running for so long, he didn't see anyone chasing him, he should have been out of Qinghe County, far away.
It was pitch black all around, but then the dim starlight could still vaguely make out that there was a small village under the mountain range ahead.
At this time, there was no light in the village, and I don't know if it was because the night was too deep and the villagers had already fallen asleep, or because the people were too poor in this era to be reluctant to spend oil on lighting lamps at night.
Although Wu Song had broken through the first weight of the "Dharma Heart Sutra" and was far more energetic than ordinary people, he also felt hungry at this time, thinking that his brother must be hungry too, so he slowed down his horse steps, thinking about whether to go to the village to find a family and get something to eat.
Wu Dalang was the eldest brother and father since he was a child, and he raised Wu Song, and the brothers were connected, how could he not know what Wu Song was thinking, and said busily: "Brother, do you want to go to that village to find food?" ”
Wu Song said: "We have to find something to eat before we have the strength to hurry again." Besides, the horses are tired and need to eat some forage! ”
Wu Dalang said: "It's late at night, so I don't want to disturb the villagers again." Besides, we are afraid that the officers and soldiers will chase after us and reveal our whereabouts. Jiro, what do you think this is? ”
As he spoke, Wu Dalang took out a mess of things from his arms. In the dark, Wu Song couldn't see it really, and said, "What is that?" ”
Wu Dalang said: "Dough! Today's cake business is very good, even the last one has been sold, but there is only this little scrap left, not enough to make a cake, it is not good to take it to fool the villagers! ”
Wu Song suddenly understood that Wu Da had always been diligent and thrifty. Although he hurriedly threw away the burden of cooking cakes before, he was reluctant to waste food, so he actually left all the scraps. At that time, Wu Song was in a hurry to leave, but he didn't pay attention to his small move.
But this scrap is not enough to even make a cookcake, and the brothers naturally do not have enough to eat. Wu Song's mind moved, as long as his brother had something to eat, he would temporarily suppress his hunger, and if he didn't care, he didn't plan to go to the village to alarm the villagers again.
When I thought about it again, I remembered that my brother had raised him since he was a child, not only worked hard to make cakes, but also planted a lot of vegetables when he was in the countryside. Since there is a village in front of us, the villagers will naturally grow vegetables and fruits. If you pull a little bit yourself, you can deal with it.
Then he left the official road, and by the light of the stars, he walked along the path for a while, and came to a small stream. The horse could no longer be controlled, and ran straight to the stream, for it had been running too long, and was thirsty for drink.
Wu Song also felt a little sorry for the horse, so he and his brother dismounted, let the horse go to drink water, and happened to see a vegetable field by the stream, planting some vegetables and fruits. Wu Song was overjoyed, so he went to the vegetable field to pick a lot.
Although Wu Dalang is kind, he is not pedantic. If it is usual, he is not deceived when he does business, and he never plays tricks to take advantage of others, but at this time, he knows that his brother is fleeing, and he can't say it, so he has to take it without telling him, but he gently instructed Wu Song: "Erlang, don't pick too much, you have wasted the things of the villagers!" ”
When the brothers saw that there was silence all around, and that it was rare that this place was remote, they sat down on the grass by the stream, and ate the raw fruits and vegetables with the water and the flour and scraps.
The horses could no longer run, so the brothers slept all night there. After all, Wu Dalang was simple-minded, and although he was fleeing, he quickly fell asleep.
Wu Song lay on the grass by the stream, looking at the sky high and starry. In the era before the crossing, the smog was serious, there was light pollution everywhere, where could you still see such a pure starry sky! Traveling back to this era, the air is fresh and the environment is beautiful, which can be regarded as a rare benefit.
In any case, he has to establish himself in this era. Since he crossed over to Wu Song, he didn't want to be as ordinary as in his previous life.
It's just that in this era, just like the era before the crossing, there are still corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there are still local tyrants and shoddy gentry who are domineering, there are still many things that are not reasonable, and the people's livelihood is still difficult!
The slogan of the reform of the law is loud and loud, but when it is really implemented, it is either suffocating and difficult to implement, or it is out of shape. Even an official like Xu En, who seems to be honest and honest and dedicated to reform, can't stand the collusion between officials and businessmen in his bones, and he easily succumbs.
It is not easy to gain a foothold in such an era, but also to let my brother live a good life and start a career for himself.
Could it be that after all, he could only be forced to stand on the opposite side of the government as written in the book of his previous life, go up the mountain and fall into the grass, force himself to Liangshan, and follow Song Jiang's rebellion to be recruited?
In his previous life, Wu Song felt dislike for Wu Song's blind obedience to Song Jiang in the book, and even rejected Song Jiang from the heart. So, in this life, is it not to continue to worship Song Jiang as the eldest brother and continue to repeat the path written in the book of the previous life?
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the villagers besieged the county government and Xu En encountered an accident in Zhangjiabao, Wu Song once thought that if he could follow Xu En to implement the reform of the law to benefit the villagers, and then rise step by step in the system, do a career, and enjoy a lot of wealth, it would be good.
But now, is that still possible?
These are all things to think about later. At present, the top priority is to settle down my brother Wu Dalang, and then go back to Qinghe County! Save! Pan! Gold! Lotus!
How is Pan Jinlian now?
