Chapter 59: The Way of Life
The next day, when the sky was dark, Huo Bao got up and went directly to the city gate.
According to Huo Wu's temper, after getting the news of Huo Shun, I am afraid that I will have to rush overnight.
Sure enough, as soon as the city gate was opened, I saw several horsemen entering the city. The leader is Huo Wu, and there are tigers and a few young men behind Huo Wu.
"Daddy!" Huo Bao greeted him, took the reins of his father's horse, and nodded to Huo Hu.
Huo Wu's eyes darkened, he turned over and dismounted, and asked directly, "How is your second brother?" ”
"The Sifang Inn is raised, two new wounds, fortunately there are no bones, both are flesh wounds; Two old wounds on the legs, which need to be repaired for some time; I am very thin, my diet is not adjusted, and I hurt my stomach, so I have to regulate it for a few days. ”
Huo Wu had already heard what Niu Qing and Ma Juzi said once, but he was relieved to confirm it again.
In Huo Wu's eyes, except for life and death, Huo Er is alive, but his wife and daughter are dead, this is the Huo family's big deal.
"The eldest sister is only three days older than you, and she was still in the village before she was three years old, and your uncle and nephew grew up together. If you pull so much, you will be raised, and you will die badly, how can your uncle stand it? Your second sister-in-law is also a very kind person, and your eldest sister is three days away from you, and your second sister-in-law was doing confinement in her hometown at that time...... Your mother didn't have enough milk after giving birth to you, and you ate your second sister-in-law's milk for half a year......" Huo Wu sighed.
Huo Bao really doesn't remember any of that.
The events of the previous life are still clear, and the memories of this life are like ordinary children, and they are all remembered after the age of four or five.
But even if you don't remember things before the age of three, you still remember things after the age of four or five.
Huo Shun's family is in the county, but they still go back to the countryside during the New Year's holidays.
The eldest sister is a little girl who loves to laugh, and she is taught by her parents to be very sensible, even if she is a niece, but because she is three days older than Huo Bao, she is not like a little cousin to Huo Bao, but like a little brother, always coaxing him with a sugar man or two pieces of candy.
Huo Bao plays small and loves to pretend to be an adult, he doesn't like others to treat him as a child, and he looks like a little elder in front of his eldest sister, pointing fingers.
The eldest sister is not annoyed, but her temperament is in the same vein as the stone, and she is very generous.
It's just that there is a difference between men and women, and they only see it a few times a year, so Huo Bao is naturally not as close to this cousin and niece as the stone that he often sees in the village.
Hearing about Huo Shun's experience yesterday, although Huo Bao was angry, he had to weigh the pros and cons, and he did not sincerely mourn the innocent mother and daughter.
Even in the face of Huo Shun, thinking that love is love, but he didn't feel tricky.
Huo Bao spit on himself in his heart.
In the end, it is cold and thin, and Akagi is missing.
When he arrived at the Sifang Inn, Huo Wu sent Huo Bao to take Huo Hu down and went to see Huo Shun himself.
When the uncle and nephew met, the first thing Huo Wu asked was: "Ruined the eldest sister's animal life and death?" ”
"Hmmm! I drowned with my own hands! Huo Shun said with red eyes.
"Good! That's what a dad should do! Huo Wu nodded and said: "Repay your life with your life, and the child can be reincarnated with peace of mind." ”
"Fifth Uncle...... What if the beast dies? The eldest sister can't come back, the child's mother, my Erbao who didn't land can't come back......" Huo Shun clenched his fists tightly.
"There is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, it should be! It's not one life, it's three lives, and one life for one life is two more than two! What do you want to do, tell Uncle Five? Huo Wudao.
"Fifth Uncle doesn't persuade me? Don't stop me? Huo Shun was surprised.
"What do you want to exhort? Why do you want to stop it? This is a blood feud, not only yours, but also our old Huo family! Tell me, what's going on in your heart? Huo Wu said happily.
"I want Gao Gou'er to die, he is not only one of the masterminds of 'Xiancheng', but also the real murderer of the county lieutenant! If the county lieutenant hadn't died, Quyang hadn't been lost, and the white dog wouldn't have entered the city to harm people! Huo Shun gritted his teeth and said.
"Is there any evidence for the murder of the county lieutenant?" Huo Wu frowned.
"What his son said with his own mouth, I heard with my own ears!" Huo Shundao.
"Three months, the fifth uncle guarantees that he won't live for three months!" Huo Wu promised.
"Fifth Uncle......" Huo Shun seemed to calm down, with uneasiness, and lowered his voice: "No! Fifth uncle, don't interfere...... I heard that the mountain in this county has changed again, and the new county lieutenant voted for the white dog...... The Gao family is the hero of the white dog, and they must protect ......"
When he saw Deng Jian in the county government before, he only knew that it was Huo Baoxin's "cousin", but he didn't know that it was the new county lieutenant.
To avenge his wife and daughter, he could sacrifice his life, but he didn't want to drag his cousin into the water.
"Xiaoshun, do you believe your fifth uncle?" Huo Wu stood up and said with a straight face.
"Fifth Uncle, what do you say? If the nephew doesn't believe in the fifth uncle, who else can he trust? ”
"If you believe your fifth uncle, Ming'er will go with your fifth uncle!"
"Where are we going? Isn't the fifth uncle in Quyang? ”
"Go to Binjiang, your fifth uncle and I am in Binjiang! Your father and the stone are now in Jinling, and they will also come to Binjiang when they turn back. ”
"Yes...... But ......" Huo Shun was puzzled: "Why is Xiaobao in Quyang, and there are leopards and Niu Jiaqing boys?" ”
"Xiaobao and Leopard are in Quyang, Niu Qing and Hutou are in Binjiang with me."
Huo Shun was confused at first, and then he thought of something, his eyes widened, and his face turned a little pale: "Fifth uncle...... Voted for the white dog......"
Huo Wu glared at Huo Shun and said, "What? I voted for the white dog, and you also want to treat the fifth uncle as an enemy? From Huaibei to Huainan, how many people are acting under the banner of the White Shirt Army, and you want to kill them all? ”
Huo Shun said fiercely: "My nephew knows his own weight, and it took two months to kill someone...... That beast deserves to die, the high dog who made Quyang fall deserve to die, and the Han commander who connived at the beast's lewdness and plundering deserves to die! can use these three people to pay for their mother's life, and the nephew is not in vain to be a wife and father! ”
"Those two dogs' lives are wrapped up in the fifth uncle! Gao Gou'er is three months old, and that Han commander will let them sacrifice their nephews and daughters-in-law within the year! Huo Wu said solemnly.
"Fifth Uncle?!" Huo Shun was taken aback and said with concern: "Fifth Uncle faked to join the White Shirt Army?" This...... Even if this is a temporary solution, it will cause endless troubles! Those followers were insane, and I heard that the punishment for apostates was severe. On the Lingshui side, some believers were accused of communicating with the state capital yamen, and they were directly burned to death! ”
Huo Wu did not directly talk about the origin of the White Shirts, but whispered about the changes in the past two months.
From the beginning of the rout of Shannan Village into the city to kill Liang, to the way to escape, he witnessed the rout killing people and acted angrily...... went north to Dongshan Temple to find relatives without success...... Old friends in the black python mountain get together...... The three and twenty-four villagers were squeezed back to their hometowns...... Quyang recognizes relatives......
"This year, I can only wait for death in the mountains, but the name of the bandits in the mountains is too stinky, so I have to borrow the name of the white dog to go down the mountain...... is this Quyang County, and the new county lieutenant who is now in charge is none other than Deng Zhutou, who expelled the white dog before, and has always been the most disgusted with the white dog; But now that Huainan is in chaos, in order to keep the county stable, Quyang has to hang the guise of a white dog! Huo Wu sighed.
These words are nine points true and one point false, and there is nothing to question about them.
"The fifth uncle said something from the heart, the fifth uncle would rather Huainan be chaotic like this, and the white dog would last a little longer, rather than order to settle down...... Nanshan Village killed twenty-one defeated soldiers, after this crime is investigated, our old Huo family can't run away! Huo Wu sighed.
"The two of them are gone? 100-year-old gone? And the Seventh Aunt? Huo Shun muttered.
Natural disasters and epidemics have survived, but they have died at the doorstep, what is wrong with this world?
He was full of resentment before, in addition to these three enemies who knew their names and surnames, he also hated the rebel whiteshirts, and he longed for the court to put down the rebellion as soon as possible.
But now he was told that the clansmen and villagers had all died in the rout of the imperial court; The court is really in order, and it will be a catastrophe for the Huo family, which makes his mind messy.
Where is the way to survive?
