Chapter 9: Reunion after the Apocalypse
Seeing the arrest notice posted on the city wall, Su Yu untied the boy-style bundle on his head, draped it behind his head, simply pulled a young woman's hair in a bun, looked at Tang Zhen beside him, and saw that he had endured the pain on his buttocks, sat up straight, and put on a good citizen's posture.
When they got closer, the soldiers who were interrogating stopped the carriage, and Su Yu sat in the car and quietly clenched the dagger in his hand in case of emergency.
Listening quietly outside the carriage, the soldier who was checking asked fiercely, "Old man, who is sitting inside?" ”
Su Yu slowly pulled the dagger out of his sleeve in half, but heard the old coachman say: "This is the nephew of the family, with the newly married daughter-in-law, come to visit relatives for a few days." ”
Hiding the dagger back in his sleeve, Su Yu and Tang Zhe glanced at each other, got closer to each other, and made a scared look.
The soldier who was checking was suspicious, lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the two people with frightened eyes inside, and thought that it would not be the bandit who dared to kill, so he waved his hand and urged the old coachman: "Let's go!" Come on! ”
Gradually drifting away, out of Bian Ancheng, to the rolling Qingyunling area, the coachman stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Su Yu and Tang Fold in the car: "Two heroes, it's time to get there." ”
Su Yu helped Tang Zhe jump off the carriage and horse, puzzled: "Old man, why are you helping us?" ”
"Ugh." The old coachman lamented, "Now the world is uneasy, if the court can have some chivalrous warriors like you who kill traitors, the common people will not live such a hungry and sleepless life now." ”
After listening to the old man's exclamation, Su Yu sighed in his heart, but he heard the old coachman say again: "It's a pity that the old man is old, I want to back then, when the old man was young, he rode my high-headed BMW, which was a thousand days and eight hundred nights, I ......."
As soon as they heard that the old coachman had to repeat what he had said no less than twenty times all the way, Su Yu and Tang Zhe bent down at the same time, made a gesture, and said in unison: "Thank you to the old man, the younger generation will say goodbye." ”
The old coachman nodded and waved his hand, "Farewell, farewell." May the two knights be as heroic as the old man when he was young, and he can travel a thousand times a day and a ...... night."
Before he finished speaking, when he raised his eyes, he saw that the two people in front of him had already walked away quickly.
The old coachman looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The son can be taught, so vigorous and resolute, if there is a BMW, it will definitely be able to travel 1,000 a day and 800 ...... night."
Away from the chattering old coachman, Su Yutang copied the mountain road and ran to the village at the fastest speed.
Returning to the home where they have been living, looking at the ruins around them, they did not think that their relatives had fled back and lived comfortably here again, spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and there would be curling smoke floating over the village, but now, there are only a few people sporadically, and they are cleaning up their residences with sad faces.
Su Yu's heart that had been restless was violent at this time, thumping and beating, just ran a few steps forward, and met a familiar figure, it was Zhulin's little junior sister Yiyi, I saw that she was crying a little panicked, saw Su Yu, stumbled over, pulled Su Yu's sleeve and said: "God has eyes, Sister Yu, go and take a look, Aunt Su is not good." ”
Mother!
When Su Yu heard this, he hurriedly went with Yiyi, and when he arrived at Tang Zhe's house, he saw the courtyard full of Su Qi, and there was a sound of mourning.
For a moment, she, who had always been shrewd, was a little timid and at a loss.
Before Su Yu could speak, he only heard Tang Zhe screaming, and quickly rushed to the house, followed by a shout, such a terrible sound, Su Yu's heart was twisted into a ball.
Running into the house, Su Yu looked at it and instantly turned red.
In the daytime, the candles in the house were burning leisurely, and on the broken straw mat on the ground, Tang Zhe's father closed his eyes and lay there quietly, long since there was no sound, while his mother gently held his head in her arms and pillowed her body, just like when he promised her a lifetime of sake under the moon.
Tang Zhe knelt on the ground, wailing and crying, while Su Yu took heavy steps, slowly approached, looked at the eyes that had withered like desolation, and called, "Mother." ”
Hearing the call of this life, Su Mu, who had been sitting quietly with her soul, came back a little brightly, looked at Su Yu, her eyes were red, and she shed tears.
"Yu'er ......"
This light call made the mother who has always been spicy as fragile as a soul that has lost all its support in this world, wandering alone and losing all its vitality.
"Mother."
Su Yu looked at Tang Zhen's father, who had died in his mother's arms, raised his eyes and looked at his mother's eyes, and cried: "Mother, Uncle Tang is gone, you have to live well, you still have me." ”
Su Mu looked at Su Yu, reached out and touched her face, and then looked at her lover in her arms without saying a word.
The little junior sister stepped forward, pulled Su Yu's sleeve and said: "Sister Yu, that day, after the people sent by the third master outside got the news, before the bandit arrived, we had already withdrawn with the owner of the village and several masters, and at first it was safe, but when I was going to come back, I ran into a group of masked gangsters, and the owner of the village was hit by the gangster's sword in order to protect us and Aunt Su, and after struggling to come back, the people were gone. As she spoke, Yiyi began to cry as well.
Su Yu is also a little difficult to accept, a few days ago, there were people who talked and laughed, but suddenly there were no more, and now, in addition to his mother, the saddest thing is Tang Zhen.
I have never heard Uncle Tang mention Tang Zhe's mother-in-law, since Su Yu remembers, Uncle Tang has been with her mother-in-law, from childhood to adulthood, except for Su Yu and his gang, there is only one father who is really Tang Zhe's relatives, and now suddenly his father is gone, and no one can replace the sadness in Tang Zhe's heart.
Patting Tang Zhe's shoulder in the past, Su Yu couldn't comfort him, so he only knelt beside Tang Zhe and made a big gift to the deceased person, thinking silently in her heart that from now on, Tang Zhe is her younger brother, and she will definitely take good care of him.
The air was silent for a moment, Su Yu looked around, and asked Yiyi, "Why don't you see scholars and bamboos coming to them?" ”
Yiyi hurriedly said: "Several masters were also chased and killed by the men in black, and after leading those gangsters out, there was no news, and I don't know if they were dead or alive, senior brothers, they couldn't wait, so they went out to look for them, and they never came back." ”
Su Yu was worried in his heart, and frowned, "Da Kuike is back." ”
Yiyi shook her head, "Never." ”
In just a few days, all the dead and wounded were gone, Su Yu walked out of the door and looked at the scene in the village, it was empty, I didn't see a few figures, and the place with the most people was the dozen or so people who were guarding in front of the mourning hall.
Seeing that Su Yu was confused, the little junior sister Yiyi wiped her tears and caught up, crying and said: "Sister Yu, don't look for it, the people here are scattered, except for the dead, the people who are afraid of death have also moved out of here, and now we are in Qingyun Village, there are only so many people left." ”
Su Yu stayed where he was, looked at the familiar place, and then looked at the old elm tree in the stockade, walked to the root of a wall, sat down slowly against the wall, looked at the corner of the village, the sunset that was about to fall, and said: "Yiyi, it's all because we are messing around and causing trouble, so we brought this unwarranted disaster to everyone." ”
Yiyi approached Su Yu, sat down together, curled up his legs and looked at the fiery afterglow that was burning on the ground, "When I withdrew, I heard from the master that all this should have happened, just like the eunuch who was in debt and suppressed bandits came to Bian An, no matter how good our Qingyunling is, there must be a hat buttoned up, so that it can be a fair plundering bloodbath." ”
Su Yu clenched his fists and hated a little, the world is like this, and the people are embarrassed.
Looking at Su Yu, Yiyi sighed and said: "The night I hid in the mountains, the master said that many things are a reincarnation, no matter how long you are comfortable, what should come will still come." ”
