Chapter 621: Fierce Monk
There was a poisoning incident in the palace in Zhongdu, and the eunuchs and palace maids arrested a lot, but no results were found in a short time, and Zhu Biao didn't dare to joke about his brother's life.
After worshipping the imperial tomb, Zhu Biao immediately took his younger brothers back to Yingtian, and left a few officials of the Ministry of Rites, miscellaneous servants and a bunch of monks to Ma Du before leaving.
It's just that the court is not responsible for the expenses of these people, and the people on this road eat horses and chew, look at those fat-headed and big-eared monks, the amount of food must be not small, and the expenses along the way will not be less, and Ma Du should be worthy of the cheap father.
There are still 300 miles from Zhongdu to Suzhou, and there is a specified time, and Ma Du is not too delayed, so he set off with a large group of people and horses on the same day. If it's in spring and autumn, it's supposed to be the perfect trip, but it's an absolute offense on a hot day.
The scorching sun scorched the earth, the ears were piercing cicadas, and the carriages and horses stirred up puffs of smoke and dust on the official road, and the honor guard of the Hou Mansion was naturally at the front. In such weather, Ma Du had already abandoned his horse and rode in the car, fighting with Mu Ying and Mu Chun in the carriage.
Mu Ying hadn't played, and after a few rounds, she had a lot of notes on her face, but Mu Chun was unlucky, Mu Ying kicked her son once she lost, "Aren't we two together?" Why did you beat me with your Uncle Ma again! ”
Mu Chun said with a bitter face: "Daddy, we are in the same group in the last game, and you are the landlord in this game!" ”
"With tenants like the two of you, the landlord will be angry to death sooner or later!" Mu Ying pulled the note on his face, and he didn't know where he took out a book and threw it to Mu Chun, "Study hard in the academy, don't patronize and play, otherwise I will take you back to Yunnan to farm with Lao Tzu." ”
"Then you can be regarded as the right person, he is really good at this, he is a good hand at taking care of the experimental field of the academy, although there are only two or three acres of land, what can be planted is hybrid rice that can yield 800 catties per mu in the future."
"Don't fool me, it's good to be able to produce 500 catties in a good paddy field, if you really have it, bring me some seeds back."
"Don't you have good ears, didn't you hear me say it's the future?"
A cool breeze blew in from the window, blowing the cards in the carriage into a mess, Mu Ying smiled: "Haha...... The wind is blowing, and eighty percent of the sky is going to change! ”
Madu poked his head out of the window, and sure enough, he saw a dark cloud coming slowly in the south, and immediately ordered: "Stop, hurry up and set up camp, it's not too early." ”
At that moment, the whole convoy stopped, found a vacant land on the side of the road and prepared to set up camp, Ma Du instructed Lao Liu: "Take a few people to help those officials and monks, if they get sick and go to Suzhou, there will be no one to work, don't forget that there are mules and horses." ”
"I'm provincial, Master Hou don't worry, even if we get drenched ourselves, we won't let the livestock get rained."
The rain said that it would fall, and as soon as the tent was set up, the raindrops of beans fell down, and in an instant a water curtain was formed between heaven and earth, which caused the dust on the road to fly, the water splashed, and the muddy water flowed sideways, as if the heavens had been poked into a hole, and the water of the Tianhe River all fell.
But this majestic rain came and went quickly, just now it was dark and dark, and it seemed to be about to collapse and crack, but in a blink of an eye, the clouds disappeared and the rain dissipated, and only half of the dusk sun hung in the sky, reflecting the water droplets on the grass leaves, and the temperature dropped a lot at once.
The servants and servants had already set up braziers and iron pots with charcoal, otherwise they would not even have a hot meal to eat tonight, Song Shuang walked out of the tent with the maid and servant, "There is a small river over there, don't you go to the bath with me?" ”
"You can't wash your head in the tent, and if people look at it, I'm going to suffer."
Song Shuang took a sip, "Where is there anyone in this wilderness!" ”
"Mother, there is someone ahead!" Xiao Biao pointed forward, only to see a figure stumbling over from a distance on the official road in front of him, shouting for help to Ma Du's side, and stumbling and falling on the official road.
Song Shuang said: "Listen to the voice is a woman, five or six, you go and take a look!" ”
"Yes, ma'am!" At that moment, Zhang Wuliu took the guards at home to check, and soon carried someone back, "Mrs. Hou, this is an injured woman"
Song Shuang teased on the side: "I can see it, I didn't see your Hou Ye's eyes are about to pop out!" ”
It was indeed a woman, her whole body was drenched in rain, her thin clothes were curvy on her body, and her slender waist and plump buttocks were so good that she didn't get angry, but she couldn't see the beauty and ugliness on her face full of mud, Song Shuang was making trouble unreasonably,
Ma Du looked at her twice because of the wound on her back, which is just a habit unique to a surgeon, Ma Du reached out and pinched her person, and the woman woke up leisurely, looked around and grabbed Song Shuang's hand and cried: "Madame, save the men and children of the slave family!" ”
"Good, good!" Song Shuang agreed without a word: "What do you say!" ”
"The slave family of three encountered two robbers in the forest in front...... Woowoo...... Madame, save them! ”
Without waiting for Song Shuang to speak, Mu Ying had already ordered her soldiers to hurry up, Song Shuang asked people to take water and scrub the mud on the woman's face, not to mention that she was a woman with a peugeot appearance, she was also very young and looked only twenty-one or twelve years old, and she was the most beautiful woman when she was the most beautiful.
Song Shuang glanced at Ma Du, "Husband is still stunned about what to do, don't hurry up to treat her injuries." ”
"You go to someone else, lest you turn around and say something sour."
"There is only one doctor here, where to find others, I will see what else you can do from the sidelines, hurry up and prepare." Song Shuang pulled the woman up and walked into the tent.
Madu washed his hands and followed, "Are you ready?" ”
The woman was undressing, and when she saw Ma Du coming in, she hurriedly hid behind Song Shuang like a frightened little animal, and Song Shuang comforted: "Don't be nervous, this is my husband, he is here to treat your injuries." ”
"Men and women are not intimate...... Well, the slave family is fine! ”
Song Shuang said: "How can such a big mouth be fine, what you want on this hot day is to suppurate, isn't it going to die, with me watching from the side, how dare he have bad intentions." ”
"This sister-in-law, I will cover you with a sackcloth, and only cut a cut in the wound, and you can't see anything except the wound. If you still don't want to, then there is no other way but to go to the town in front of you to find a stable woman to treat your injuries, but I am afraid that they will not be able to cure such injuries. ”
is obviously kind to help others, but if this woman Lai Madu spoils her innocence and seeks death and life, it will be troublesome, so Madu does not force it. He was about to leave, when the woman whispered, "Then it will be bothering the old man, and the little woman is grateful." ”
Song Shuang immediately asked a foldable low couch to be spread in the tent, let a woman who had changed into a clean little dress lie down, and covered her body with a burlap cut hole, and then invited Ma Du over.
The dark red wound is hideous, but the skin around the wound is white and smooth, and if you adjust the perspective, you can still see half of the full and round breast mound.
There was a burst of distress on his arm, and Song Shuang grinned in Ma Du's ear and said viciously: "If you look at it indiscriminately, you will gouge out your eyeballs!" ”
"If you can blame me, she has a three-inch-long wound, who let cut such a big hole, okay, I don't look at it, don't delay my work!"
The woman's injuries were not serious, but the flesh was cut by a knife, Madu cleaned the wound for her and then stitched it up, it didn't take much of a while, but the woman's moans because of the pain, the people who screamed were so ecstatic.
Mado dropped a roll of gauze, "Madame bandage her." He had just washed his hands when he came out of the tent, when he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and saw that Zhang Wuliu and others had already mixed in.
Two bodies were carried off horseback, one was a man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, and the other was a child, both of whom had been stabbed to death, covered in blood and sludge, and looked miserable.
Zhang Wuliuyi arched his hand and said: "The little one is incompetent, I didn't find the robbers, and there were only these two dead people when I went." ”
Mu Ying shouted angrily: "This robber is really arrogant, he dares to rob money and kill people in broad daylight, the parents here are incompetent, and when I return to Ying Tianding, I will join him." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry, and saw the young woman rushing out, and threw herself on the two corpses, and wept bitterly, tearing her heart and lungs, and weeping blood, and those who heard it wept, and those who heard it were sad......
"The slave mother-in-law's surname is Liu, a native of Tu County in Taiping Mansion, doing some small business in his hometown for a living, and the uncle in the family has divided a lot of fields in Henan, and there are no heirs under his knees, so my family went to him this time. Today, I was on the road and rested in the forest in front of me on a hot day, and then it rained heavily, so I hid under the tree, and I don't know where two strong men came out, so I ...... Whining...... Ask the lady to be the master of the little woman! ”
Song Shuang wiped her red eyes and said, "I am also a wife and a mother, and I will not let your husband and children die unjustly!" He turned his head to look at Ma Du and Mu Ying, "You two are both big officials, shouldn't you be able to catch two strongmen." ”
"This should be the boundary of Suzhou, and when the time comes, you will have to contact the local officials, and I will ask them to go all out to arrest them."
He looked at the woman again, "There is no resurrection from death, so you should cheer up and make good arrangements for your husband and children." You can rest assured that since we have met, we will not care, and tomorrow we will go to the town in front of you, buy a shroud coffin for your husband and children, and give you a sum of siu mai silver, and send you back to Taiping or Henan. ”
Liu turned his head and knelt down to Ma Du and cried: "Master Mingjian, the slave family has sold the family business of Taiping, and now there is no room and no half ridge, where to bury people, Uncle Henan originally wanted the child of the slave family to pass on to him, but now that the child is gone, how can the man take in the slave family." ”
"It's hard to say." Zhang Wuliu muttered softly on the side, and was kicked out by Song Shuang.
Song Shuang asked Hu Niu to help her up, "Liu, if you are willing, you can come to my house to be a servant, you will always have a bite to eat, and I will find you a mother-in-law in the next three or five years." ”
The Liu family knelt down in front of Song Shuang's eyes, "The slave family is all up to the lady!" ”
The bonfire outside the tent was bright, and Lao Liu saw Ma Du and Mu Ying coming out of the tent and beckoned: "Master Hou, the villain has caught a water bird by the river, and it has been roasted." ”
"This bird is not small, bigger than a rooster, and it is not happy today, so it is just right to be used as a snack!"
"It's been more than a few years since such a tragic thing happened to Marquis Mu, and you are also a person who has seen life and death, why do you still go to your heart." Lao Liu said and tore a bird's leg for Mu Ying, this bird's leg is almost a foot long, and it is convenient to eat it in his hand.
"In the past, good people had to become bad people for a bite to eat, but now the Taiping Imperial Court in the world divides the land and land, and even robs the house, how can it not be annoying."
Ma Du scolded: "A bad seed is a bad seed, how can you become a good person because the world has changed for the better." I don't want a bird's leg, give me that bird's neck, it's long enough! As a result, Mu Ying handed over the rice wine and drank two sips, and took another bite of the bird's neck that was about as long as a yam, "Lao Liu's next barbecue, remember to smear some chili noodles to enjoy eating." ”
"Who is it?" The three of them were talking, and suddenly they heard Zhang Wuliu, who was on the side of the road, swishing, and could vaguely hear the footsteps of the two people.
"Master Hou, I'm going to take a look!" Lao Liu picked up a torch and walked quickly to the side of the road, "Five or six, what kind of person is it!" ”
Then I heard a rough voice in the darkness saying, "Monks, hurrying away! ”
Lao Liu continued: "Since you are in a hurry, let's hurry up." ”
"The two poor monks who were on the road at night were hungry and thirsty, and asked the donor to give some fasting food to satisfy their hunger!"
"Then you wait here quietly, don't come here......"
Before Lao Liu finished speaking, Mu Ying had already stood up and shouted, "Since it is a monk who is in a hurry, let the family come over and drink hot soup." ”
Mu Ying has always been full of good feelings for the monk, who called him a godfather is a monk, only heard two laughs in the dark, "It's still the master's family!" Haha......"
With a burst of hearty laughter, I saw two people coming out of the darkness, the bright bonfire reflected their appearance clearly, the monk who walked in front was fat and burly, with a snow-white beard under his chin, and a thick hanging bead between his neck, which was the kind brought by the monk Lu Zhi Shenhua.
He was dressed in black monk's robes and a dirty robe covered with mud, and with every step he took, his bare feet made a huge footprint on the ground. He looked like he was not young, but he couldn't see the compassion and peace that the elders and monks should have, but there was a fierce aura when he walked.
The other monk was slightly younger than him, but he looked at least sixty years old, with a hideous scar on his black face, a white beard like a steel needle on his mouth, a wooden and indifferent expression, broad shoulders and thick arms, holding an eyebrow-level stick in his hand, and also beating barefoot.
Such two monks deserve to starve to death, and anyone who sees them must stay away, so they will not give them food, no wonder Lao Liu doesn't let them come over.
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the smile on Mu Ying's face froze, and she turned her head and whispered to Ma Du: "Lian Jiazi, absolutely Lian Jiazi!" ”
