Chapter 232: The Poor Ravine of Lantian County
Where is this? Looking at the front of the village and the back of the store, Li Su's tears were about to fall, and he had already greeted Du Shaoqing's family countless times in his heart, damn Du Shaoqing, this king is just learning art from you, what kind of environment is your family? Can the blue sky and the day be robbed?
Thinking about it carefully, Li Su felt that something was wrong, it wouldn't be Du Shaoqing's murderer who sold him, he was too bold! But I don't think it's possible, he's not so bold.
After a long time, his stomach rumbled, and Li Su came back to his senses, forget it, first find a populated place and ask for directions, fortunately, now he is not in the hands of human traffickers, otherwise he will have to think about escaping.
In the cold winter, it is not warm in the mountain col, fortunately, there has been no snow recently, and there is a faintly visible path on the ground, otherwise the heavy snow will close the mountain, and I am afraid that before Li Su finds the people, he will freeze to death on the road.
About an hour of walking on the mountain road, ragged clothes, living like a beggar, Li Su finally saw the smoke, in front of him is a small village, surrounded by mountains, but someone has food, know where this is, there is hope to go back, Li Su once again raised his whole strength, excitedly ran towards the mountain village.
"Anyone? Help! Li Su ran all the way and shouted all the way.
The small village is not big, and there are only a dozen or so families in the Manchu Communists, and when they heard someone shouting, the people who were cooking at home came out to see, it turned out to be a beggar from other places, and it must have rolled down from the mountain.
When Li Su approached everyone to take a look, heh, it was still a postnatal doll that had not grown up, and a tall and thin middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, "Little doll, where did you come from?" ”
Li Su was in tatters, the corners of his mouth were chapped and his face was blue from the cold, and he said tremblingly: "I don't know where you came from, do you have anything to eat?" Give me something to eat, I'm dying of hunger.
By the way, where are you here? How far is it from Chang'an? ”
When everyone heard this, they all frowned, why did this doll open its mouth to eat and drink? It's such a big shelf, are beggars so domineering now?
The tall and thin man led by him said loudly: "This is a village under the jurisdiction of Lantian County, called Savage Valley, I am Lizheng here, we are far away from Chang'an, hundreds of miles, could it be that your doll is still from Chang'an?" Just your body? When pigs fly. ”
When Li Su heard this, he sat on the ground, hundreds of miles away from Chang'an? So how do you walk back?
"Is there anything to eat? Prepare enough food for me to hurry, and I will go back to Chang'an immediately. Li Su asked.
At this time, another man said angrily: "You doll is so unreasonable, you have to eat and drink when you open your mouth, who is not short of food in this cold winter?" Seeing that it is not easy for you to beg, it is okay to save two mouthfuls to help you with a meal, and prepare for you to eat and drink on the road? Who do you think you are? A saint today? ”
"Diao Min, you Diao Min, do you know who I am?" Li was so angry that he trembled.
"Aren't you just a little beggar? You can't even say a kind word when you come to beg for food, and who doesn't owe you. The man sneered dissatisfiedly.
You...... Li Su was so angry that he didn't have the strength to stand up because he was so hungry at this time, "You Diao people, call your Lantian County Order, I will let him punish you, you ......"
"Prefectural order? Don't think about it, Lantian County Government is a hundred and ten miles away from here, and county officials only come to this ravine once a year, or when taxes are collected, do you still want to see the county master? Dream on! ”
At this time, the man at the head stood up and said, "Forget it, what are you competing with a hungry doll?" Ladies and gentlemen, whoever wants to give him a meal to eat, he must not starve to death here. ”
The people around looked at some unreasonable little beggars on the ground, and shook their heads, everyone is in difficulty at home, such an irrelevant person, I'm afraid that it will not be a meal that can be sent away, besides, if the other party insists on going to Chang'an, no one will have food to prepare for him.
Li Zheng looked around, his eyes fell on a middle-aged couple with dark complexion and low stature, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Da Niu, if I make a suggestion, haven't you been thinking about adopting a child to pass on the lineage?" You don't want the lame baby in the north of the village, now there is a doll that is all about it, or you can adopt him, this doll is also white, and it fell from the sky, the opportunity is rare! ”
The couple was a little moved when they heard this, and they were about to agree with their mouths open and close a few times, but Li Su on the ground immediately said angrily: "Soul is faint, Diao Min, do you know who I am?" I am the sixth son of the current Tang Emperor, Li Su, the king of Shu, you want to adopt me as a son? Looking for death?
Hurry up and serve delicious food and drink to this king, or when this king goes back, let my father put you all in prison one by one. ”
It was over, and after everyone was stunned for a moment, Qi Qi took two steps back, and looked at Li Su's eyes full of pity.
The big cow couple glanced at each other and replied to Li Zheng: "Forget it, Li Zheng, our couple has no children, and it is true that we want to find a child to inherit the lineage, but we don't want a stupid and crazy person, so we will not touch this idle matter." ”
After saying that, the couple turned around and left, and the other villagers also sighed and gradually left.
Li Zheng looked at the villagers, and then at the beggars on the ground, shook his head helplessly, and walked away slowly, ignoring the crazy beggars who were still scolding.
Li was stunned, these people are Diaomin, Diao Min! Just treat me like this, a prince? Aren't you afraid of death?
Li Su, who sat on the ground and couldn't get up, scolded for about a quarter of an hour, probably because his strength was exhausted, and finally he couldn't support it and lay on the ground and couldn't breathe, and after a long time, he stopped cursing, and turned to cry sadly, in the end, he was still a fourteen-year-old child, where did he suffer like this?
After crying for a while, a cold wind blew, Li was shocked, and said that if he sat like this again, he was afraid that he would be frozen to death here, and when he looked up, the man who was in the middle of the house came over with a steaming pottery bowl.
Li Zheng leaned down and comforted: "Doll, this is the pimple soup that my family just made, eat it quickly, and leave here after eating, the savage ditch is poor, and the government can't pay a bucket of taxes, so I can't afford to support you, so let's leave early, don't lose your life in this mountain."
If you die here, it doesn't matter who you are, it's not a pile of bones? ”
Li Su thought it was a big bowl of rice, but he didn't expect that there was only half a bowl in it, and he didn't know what it was, and he didn't know what it was, at this time he couldn't complain about anything else, and he couldn't pick up the rice, smelling the fragrance of rice wafting out, and no longer caring about the image, he held the rice bowl and drank it in a big gulp.
He didn't know that this was not Li Zheng's dinner, this was Li Zheng's Xinshan specially made this small half bowl of pimple soup for him.
Li Su ate sweetly, even licked the bowl clean, and even felt in his heart that this was the best thing he had ever eaten in his life, and after eating, he even asked: Is there anything else?
Li Zheng smiled bitterly: "It's really gone!" Soon it will be dark, and when you have the strength, you will get up and go to a broken temple in the north of the village, stay up there all night, and leave at dawn tomorrow, otherwise you will delay it any longer, and you will encounter a heavy snow covering the mountain, and you can't go if you want to. ”
After telling him, Li Zheng took the rice bowl and got up to leave, Li Su looked at this tall and thin figure, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and after a long time, he whispered two words out of his mouth: Thank you.
