Chapter 30: Childhood Reunion
Miss Wang broke a piece of naan and handed it to An Jing, "We originally wanted to go to Chang'an, but now Chang'an is not allowed to enter in order to prevent refugees from pouring into the city." I had to go south instead. When I was going to the lake to replenish the water, I saw the two of you, how could you faint there. ”
An Jing smiled bitterly, "Coincidentally, I originally wanted to go to Chang'an." So he told Miss Wang the ins and outs of the matter. It's just that when it comes to the separation with Mo Tang, I still can't help it and cry.
It's just that An Jing didn't know at this time that Mo Tang had changed his name to Mo Tang.
Miss Wang listened to An Jing's experience, and she was also embarrassed, so she took An Jing over, hugged her, and comforted her for a long time.
Miss Wang has been single for many years, and she thinks that she is the person who can best understand An Jing's mood.
Miss Wang's departure this time was a long-thought thing, and she originally wanted to take her relatives and siblings with her, but she was reprimanded by her family for being a wolf-hearted dog-hearted dog-lung, so she had to leave money for her family, and then closed the liquor store and left the sad place of Danzhou. Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the city, I heard about the plague.
"Little Jing girl, it's okay, from now on, we will be a family, and we will live well if we depend on each other." Miss Wang helped An Jing wipe away her tears and said.
Uh-huh, he will, he must be alive, and we will definitely meet again.
--------------------------------------
On this day, the weather was sunny and the sun was just right, so Mo Tang sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, holding the newly learned book and reading it. But I heard a woman's voice outside the door:
"Childe, if you are thirsty at the intersection, can you go in and ask for a glass of water?"
Mo Tang was stunned in his heart, this voice ......
Looking up, sure enough.
"Qianyi?"
"Twenty-three?"
The two said in unison.
"Why are you here?" The woman named Qianyi asked.
Mo Tang's eyes flickered, "It's a long story...... How did you come here? ”
Qianyi smiled and said, "We have been in the same door for so long, you know it......"
Mo Tang sighed and said with certainty: "There is a task." ”
Qianyi also nodded.
Qianyi is the chief disciple of the Blood Wolf Pavilion, and she grew up with Mo Tang since childhood, but Qianyi has been trained according to the standards of the Young Pavilion Master from the beginning, so she is the only one who has a name. Later, everyone in the same year was bought, leaving only Qianyi in the Blood Wolf Pavilion.
"So you ...... now Is it the successor to the cabinet? Mo Tang motioned for Qianyi to sit down.
Qianyi picked up the tea bowl, "Not yet, there are many tasks recently, and this matter is not in a hurry." took a sip of tea, "It's you, since the last time Danzhou parted, the two of us haven't seen each other again, why are you here now?" ”
Mo Tang was silent and did not answer.
Qianyi seemed to see Mo Tang's concerns, so he changed the topic again, "Isn't there any news from them?" ”
Mo Tang nodded, "I haven't seen them since the incident in the Hou Mansion, and I didn't find their bodies that night, so I must have escaped." ”
"That's fine."
Qianyi seemed to inadvertently see Mo Tang's tightly bandaged legs, so he said with concern, "What's wrong with your legs?" Injured? ”
"Hmm." Mo Tang said yes, but still did not say why he was injured.
Qianyi didn't care: "How can I go on like this, why don't you go back to the pavilion with me!" ”
"Nope." Mo Tang shook his head with a smile and looked at Qianyi, "I can't go back." ”
Qianyi looked at Mo Tang, and actually saw a hint of happiness in the other party's eyes, and the smile instantly froze on his face, "Is it because of that girl?" ”
Mo Tang seemed to think of something, and a hint of sweetness flashed at the corner of his mouth, but it was fleeting, replaced by a full of worry.
These subtle emotions were all in Qianyi's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "But what happened?" ”
"We're separated, she's dead and dead, and I've promised to protect her for the rest of my life, but now I don't even know where she is......"
Qianyi took over: "In that case, you might as well go back with me, there are many eyes and ears sent out by the pavilion, so you can find her too......"
"Is that what you're here for?" Mo Tang put the tea bowl on the table and smiled to himself.
Qianyi's expression couldn't help but flicker, "You...... I don't understand what you're talking about......"
Mo Tang sneered, took out an object from his sleeve, put it on several cases, and pushed it in front of Qianyi, "Do you recognize this thing?" ”
It was an arrowhead, and the unique mark on the arrow indicated that it belonged to the Blood Wolf Pavilion. And this just shows that the person who was going to kill Ouyang Zi that night was the person from the Blood Wolf Pavilion, and it didn't take long for Qianyi to appear here, which had to make people suspicious.
"How do you know?" Qianyi's hand holding the knife tightened and smiled.
Mo Tang didn't have much expression either, as if Fang Cai's greetings didn't exist: "Others may not know, but will I still know?" Go ahead! ”
"Twenty-three ......"
"Call me Motang." Mo Tang corrected.
Qianyi sighed helplessly: "I didn't mean to hurt you...... When I arrived, I didn't know it was you...... I'm here to see how your injuries are and to take care of you......"
When Mo Tang heard this, he turned his head to look at Qianyi: "I'm afraid it's more than that!" ”
Seeing that Mo Tang didn't believe in himself, Qianyi was about to cry: "No matter how I say it, I can be regarded as your senior sister, how can you not believe me so much?" That old man is just a bounty, if you want to protect him, then I won't do this task......"
"Is that true?" In fact, Mo Tang is still suspicious in his heart, but if he doesn't plan it, I'm afraid he won't be able to know the true purpose of the people behind the scenes.
Seeing that Mo Tang's attitude had changed, Qianyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's true, I just want to stay and take care of you, after all, I hurt you." ”
Mo Tang didn't speak, but walked into the house with a wooden cane.
Twenty-three, I hope this can fool you...... Although I do have other motives, and it is not my intention to lie to you, it is true that I want to take care of you...... I'm sorry......
Inside this room, Mo Tang was going to inform Ouyang Zi of his speculation.
Mo Tang showed the arrow to Ouyang Zi, "Master, can you recognize this thing?" ”
Ouyang Zi disagreed: "Isn't this the arrow that hurt you?" ”
Mo Tang nodded: "Don't be afraid of the master's jokes, Mo Tang was originally a dead man born here, but he has long been bought by the nobles, and now that the nobles are declining, Mo Tang has to be free." ”
"Your old man is naturally trustworthy, but I didn't expect your life experience to be so bumpy...... But then again, the old man didn't remember what enemies he had made, so why was it worth the other party's heavy money to hire a killer to harm the old man? Although Ouyang Zi didn't know why at this time, he still realized the seriousness of the problem.
Mo Tang put the arrow away again, "Looking at the situation that day, those people didn't want to take the master's life, even if they shot, they hit the leg." Now that the man who wounded me is in the courtyard, what is the Master's preparation? ”
Ouyang Zi stroked his beard and thought for a moment: "Back then, they asked the old man to ask for something, but the old man had no impression...... If I don't figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing, I'm afraid that my little academy will never be at peace. ”
"It's just that in this way, the master should pay more attention on weekdays, after all, the danger is even worse." Mo Tang said worriedly.
Ouyang Zi was indifferent: "Hahahaha!" Don't worry, the family at the foot of this mountain has a good relationship with the old man, and many of the academy are the children of the family, so she doesn't dare to hurt the old man openly. Besides, she hasn't found what she's looking for! ”
Mo Bunuo felt that it was reasonable, but he still instructed: "Then I have to tell my disciples to strengthen their vigilance." ”
Ouyang Zi also nodded.
--------------------------------------
"Ren Wu, what's going on today?" Wang Xian ordered him to work at the desk, and he couldn't even raise his head.
I don't know what to say.
At this moment, Yang Shu opened the tent and walked in.
"The situation is not optimistic, the weather is still cold on the grassland, and there are not enough tents, which makes it easier to cause death. Besides, the supplies we brought won't last long. Jiang Guo still refuses to make a move? Yang Shu washed her hands with soap several times before taking off the veil.
The cold wind on the grassland blew Yang Shu's cheeks red, and Wang Shao couldn't help but sneak a few more glances.
Thinking of Yang Shu's question, it is indeed a headache: "Not yet, the two princes of the Jiang royal court have no time to pay attention to Chaha in order to compete for the throne. ”
Yang Shu frowned, this is not easy to do, so he asked again: "What about the Wushan tribe, they have been a family with Chaha since ancient times, just across the river, and they are not willing to make a move?" ”
Wang Shao was helpless, this was a question that the Zhou people were even more puzzled about: "The Wushan tribe replied, saying that Chaha is all pagans, different from the true god they believe in, and that this is the punishment of Chaha by the true god......"
"But the most effective herbs are mainly grown on the Osan side, and if they agree with us to pick them, that's fine." Yang Shu added a little more.
Wang Shao shook his head: "I have asked the patriarch, the high priest of the Wushan tribe deeply believes that the herb is the fruit of the devil, and if you eat it, the demon will devour your soul, and you will talk nonsense, saying that you will be condemned by the true god......"
Yang Shu smiled bitterly: "That's because if you eat herbs by mistake, you will have side effects such as hallucinations, I am a doctor, so naturally I won't be so ......"
"But there is nothing we can do to change the High Priest's mind! They thought it was the true God's condemnation...... We can't even see the high priest's face......" Wang Shao was at a loss.
"I've got a way!" Yang Shu had a flash of inspiration, "As long as I can meet the High Priest, I will have a way to adapt her idea and ask him to give us the herbs." ”
Wang Shao was puzzled: "What way?" ”
"Didn't we bring seeds? We can ......."
"No way!"
"Just take a little!"
"No! It was given to Chaha by His Majesty, and it is not to be easily moved. Otherwise, how can I be considered an envoy! "Wang Shao cut the railway.
Yang Shu said firmly: "I can go and convince the patriarchs and elders, if they agree, it's none of your business!" ”
With that, he took the veil and ran out.
"If it succeeds, remember to call me along!" Wang Shao was unsurprisingly duplicitous.
Yang Shu replied a little playfully from outside the tent: "No! Your Excellency! ”
The corners of Wang Shao's mouth rose unconsciously.
