Chapter 7: Heading North to Find Family
Zhao Heihu finally died of blood loss, and the remaining minions of Yamen Village all chose to surrender.
The next day, Luo Ping returned to Yamen Village with a group of horses, came to the gate of the village, and ordered someone to take out the heads of Zhao Heihu and Hong Lin, and the remnants of Yamen Village surrendered without a fight.
On the other side, Han Xuan clutched the horse's mane tightly and bumped all the way back to Lingwu Village. So many things happened this night, which made Han Xuan feel that all this was so real, this was not the Three Kingdoms game he played in his previous life.
Whether it is intrigue or personal force, he can't fight the people of this era, and he still thinks more about how to save his life.
Han Xuan found Su Lie's home, and a burst of fragrance came to his nose. Su Lie should be cooking, Han Xuan had forgotten how long it had been since he smelled the aroma of rice, and his stomach rumbled.
Han Xuan entered the door, but he didn't expect Su Qiao'er to be there, and Su Qiao'er saw Han Xuan and hurriedly called Su Lie happily. Su Lie put down the dishes he was cooking, and when he saw Han Xuan, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Master Han, great, you have returned safely!" Qiao'er, don't come and thank you for your kindness. ”
Han Xuan held Su Lie's calloused hand and said, "Uncle Su, didn't I say it, you just call me Xuan'er." As for Qiao'er, your relatives are my relatives, and it is right to save her. If you really want to thank me, just treat me to a big meal. ”
Su Lie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we are about to eat." Alright, let's get inside. ”
The three of them laughed and entered the house, and there were only a few dishes on the table, and the three of them quickly ate them. Han Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so hungry." Su Lie stroked his gray beard and smiled: "It's okay, the chicken is already cooked, I'll bring it to you, you young people eat it first, and I'll make it later."
Facing a whole chicken, Han Xuan swallowed his saliva, and was just about to move his chopsticks, but saw Su Qiao'er clipping a large piece of chicken leg and eating it in his hand.
Han Xuan looked at her blankly and said, "Why are you an ancient girl who doesn't pay attention to etiquette so much......
Su Qiao'er snorted coldly: "Don't give me any etiquette, my father teaches me these things every day, what does he say about what needlework I want to learn as a girl, and what kind of husband and child I have to teach in the future...... I can't go to the table every time I eat, and I'm not allowed to go out of the house. ”
Han Xuanxin said that Su Qiao'er didn't expect this to be so eccentric, and when she first saw her, she was deceived by her quiet appearance. If it weren't for the thought of her biological mother, Liu, Han Xuanzhen suspected that she was a modern girl who crossed over.
Han Xuan asked, "Then you came to your Ah Weng this time, does your father know?"
Su Qiao'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, after I was rescued by you last time, my father locked me in the boudoir all day, and I ran out this time."
Han Xuan blamed: "Why are you so unreassuring, what if you are robbed by thieves again."
Su Qiao'er said aggrievedly: "What are you murdering, if you are told to stay at home all day, you won't be bored?"
Han Xuan remembered that she was just eleven years old and was in a rebellious period, so he didn't pursue it. looked at Su Qiao'er's pitiful appearance, so she had to apologize and comfort her.
Su Lie came to the desk with the freshly prepared dishes and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it not that the meal is unappetizing. ”
Han Xuan diverted the topic and said, "No." By the way, Uncle Su, do you know where Hanoi County is? ”
Su Lie replied: "Hanoi County is in the territory of Sili, Xuan'er, why are you asking this?"
Han Xuan said: "I've been out for so long, my relatives at home should miss me very much. So I wanted to go home and have a look. ”
Han Xuan was thinking about the letter that said that his family was in Hanoi County, and it seemed that he was still a big family, so how to make good use of this resource, and with the protection of a big family, at least for the time being, there was no need to worry about safety.
So after eating, Han Xuan sorted out his luggage and coiled, and Su Lieto's friend Ding Bo in the same village helped hire a carriage, and Han Xuan said goodbye to Su Lie and got into the carriage and set off north.
The carriage driver is a middle-aged man in his forties, he has been to many places, Han Xuan sat next to the sedan car and talked to him, along the way he introduced the customs, Han Xuan said that the service is really good, and he also sent a free tour guide.
Listening to the coachman's introduction of those places rich in celebrities in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Xuan was eager to go down to find those military generals and ministers. In his previous life, he watched various time-traveling novels, and the protagonist went to the street to pick up a famous general, and as soon as he exerted his domineering spirit, he immediately attracted his subordinates. Han Xuan couldn't help but feel funny, not to mention that you have no reputation and no background, who will work for you, now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not broken out, the world has not really been in chaos, and those strategists and generals are all dormant.
Han Xuan was a little tired from the bumps in the carriage, got up and got into the sedan car, and couldn't help but be startled when he found Su Qiao'er sitting inside.
"Are you the ghost and you stayed in the car for so long without making a sound?" Han Xuan patted his mouth and said with a sneer.
"You're the ghost, I know if you see me, you'll let me go back." Su Qiao'er pouted and said.
Han Xuan nodded and said, "You're right, Uncle Su will definitely be very worried if he finds out that you are gone." Your father and mother will be embarrassed for Uncle Su again if they know it, so you better go back quickly! So he got up and prepared to pull her out of the car.
Unexpectedly, Su Qiao'er hugged Han Xuan all of a sudden, and said in a wailing voice: "Please take me with you, I haven't been far away since I grew up, so you let me follow you to see the world......" Han Xuan was just a dick man in his previous life, and he didn't even hold a girl's hand, and at this time, he couldn't help but blush, and his heart beat faster.
Seeing this, Su Qiaoer continued: "I've come so far, are you willing to let me go back alone with a girl's family?" ”
Han Xuan: "You let go first." Su Qiao'er shook her head and said, "I won't let go, you can't leave me alone." ”
Han Xuan said helplessly: "I didn't say to leave you, there is the Yangtze River in front, we have to get down and take a boat."
As soon as Han Xuan arrived at the dock and found a passenger boat, it suddenly rained in the sky, Han Xuan gave the boatman a few dollars, took Su Qiaoer on the boat and immediately hid in the cabin. The cabin was crowded with a lot of well-dressed people, including some literati, Han Xuanxin said that this Jingzhou is really a place of outstanding people, I don't know if I can meet celebrities in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Han Xuan looked at the continuous drizzle outside the cabin, recalled the days in Changsha these days, sighed a lot, and chanted poems to himself:
The autumn clouds in Jiangbei are half open, and the evening clouds and rain are low.
The green mountains are surrounded by doubts, and suddenly a thousand sails are faintly reflected.
"Good poetry! This poem is novel and rare in the world. A middle-aged man stroked his palm and walked towards Han Xuan, and when Han Xuan saw the comer, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Where is it, Mr. praised it!"
The middle-aged man continued: "It's just that this poem seems to be done by a person who has experienced ups and downs, I see that Xiaoyou is only eleven or twelve years old, how can he have such a state of mind, the old man admires it very much." I don't know the name of the little friend, can I tell the old man? ”
Han Xuan arched his hand and said, "Under Han Xuan, dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name?"
The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said, "The old man's surname is Chen Ming Ji Zi Yuanfang." Can you please take a step? The people in the cabin were shocked when they heard this person's name, and they came to pay their respects, but Chen Ji didn't care about them and took Han Xuan into the inner cabin.
Han Xuan looked at the crowd outside who wanted to come to visit, and said in his heart who this Chen Ji was, but Yuan Fang He knew that these people's reactions were like fans seeing stars in later generations. If Han Xuan knew that he was Chen Qun's father, I am afraid he would not think so.
