Chapter 146: Meeting a Good Person
The old man of this family held an oil lamp in his hand, slowly opened the door of the courtyard, looked at the county lord and the two guards standing beside him, and suddenly looked disgusted, and said:
"It's a few of you knocking on the door, aren't you a few Hanako! I can give you some if you want to eat, but if you want to stay overnight at my house, you can't. ”
When a guard beside the county lord heard the old man's words, he immediately said a little unhappy:
"What do you call Hanako, we're not called Hanako!"
The county lord then said to his guards:
"Don't be so rude."
The county lord then looked at the old man and said:
"Old man, don't look at our outfit as if we are called Hanako, we actually have a hard time, we are not called Hanako, in fact, the three of us escaped from the army, and the reason why we dressed up like this is to hide people's eyes."
When the old man heard what the county lord said, he immediately said:
"According to what you say, aren't you still called Hanako! Let's see that you have escaped from Jinfeng Kingdom, our Great Britain Kingdom is called Huazi Shao, and they are all begging in the county, so they will not come to our countryside to beg. ”
The county lord said seriously:
"Oops! The old man is really clever, the three of us are indeed from the Jinfeng country to flee to the Great Britain Kingdom, you see, the three of us are new to the Great Britain Kingdom, this life is not familiar, it is really hungry and thirsty, and the day is getting late, we really have no place to go, so, I knocked on the door of your house, it is really not deliberately disturbed, it is really desperate, do you see if you stay with us for one night, tomorrow morning the three of us will leave, never give your old man trouble, do you see okay? ”
The old man looked at the county lord and the two guards beside him, and then said:
"Seeing that you are so pitiful, then I will take you in, but let's say okay, you must leave my house tomorrow morning, and from now on it has nothing to do with me whether you live or die in the Great Britain Kingdom!"
When the county lord heard the old man's words, he immediately said with a happy face:
"Don't worry, we will do what you say, and we will never cause you trouble."
Then the old man turned and said:
"Then you guys come into the house with me."
After speaking, the county lord was immediately helped by two guards and followed the old man into the house.
When the old woman in the house saw that the old man had led the county lord and two guards into the house, she immediately looked at the old man with a puzzled face and said:
"Old man, why did you bring these three Hanako into the house!"
The old man put the oil lamp in his hand on the wooden table in the room, and said to the old woman:
"Don't make a fuss, the three of them fled from the Golden Phoenix Country to our Great Britain Kingdom, they weren't originally called Huazi, but after fleeing all the way, they became like this, they are all hard-working people, since they have a request for us, then we can't ignore it!"
When the old woman heard what the old man said, she immediately lowered her tone and said:
"As far as your heart is good, you like to do this good deed."
The county lord smiled and said to the old woman:
"Auntie! Don't worry, tomorrow morning, the three of us will leave your house and go to the county seat, and we will not cause you any more trouble, if it is not late today, we are hungry and thirsty, we will not come to disturb you so presumptuously. ”
Then the old woman said:
"Oh, you are from the Great Britain Kingdom that fled from the Golden Phoenix Country, and it is indeed hard enough, look at what you have all fallen into, it is really no different from calling Hanako."
The county lord shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Alas! As long as you don't lose your life and are still alive, it's good to be able to be called Hanako, and it's a blessing to be able to beg for a bowl of rice and not starve to death. ”
The old man looked at the old woman and said:
"Old woman, look at them all over their bodies, go and find them three pieces of my clothes, let them change them, otherwise, how can they live at home tonight!"
The old woman said:
"Okay, I got it."
When the county lord heard the old man's words, he suddenly felt a warm current in his heart, and said with gratitude:
"Ahh Then thank you for the kindness of the second elder! If we have the opportunity to see each other again in the future, we will definitely repay the kindness of the second elder. ”
The old man said:
"Don't say that, this person, who doesn't have a time when they are in trouble, they can help you, after all, we used to be people from the Jinfeng Kingdom, and later we also fled to this Great Britain Kingdom, look at what I say a lot, it's far away, it's all old things."
The county lord was also stunned for a moment and said:
"It turns out that we are all from the Jinfeng Kingdom, and we have no choice but to come to this Great Britain Kingdom!"
After a while, the old woman found three pieces of clothes, brought them to the county lord, handed them to him, and said:
"Here, the three of you take it and change it, there is water outside this yard, you go and wash your body properly, dress up and enter the house, I'll go make you something to eat."
The county lord took a few pieces of clothes handed over by the old woman, nodded and said:
"Okay, there's Aunt Lao!"
Then the old woman turned and went out, and prepared food for the three of them.
The old man then said to the county lord:
"The three of you are still stunned, why don't you go to the well in the courtyard outside, fetch water to wash your bodies, and then come into the house to eat."
The county lord said to the two guards who were supporting him beside him:
"You two hurry up and help me out, let's quickly wash our bodies, change into this clothes, and go into the house to eat."
The two guards then said:
"Yes."
After speaking, the two guards helped the county lord to go outside the house and came to the well in the courtyard.
A guard helped the county lord, and a guard began to fetch water and take a bath.
Soon, the county lord and the two guards took a bath, and then put on the clothes that the old woman had found, although the clothes they found were worn on the three of them, of different sizes, but at least they were very clean, and they were instantly incompatible with the appearance of Hanako.
After taking a bath, the two guards helped the county lord to the house, and saw that on the wooden table, the old woman had already prepared a big white steamed bun and a few dishes.
The county lord and the two guards swallowed a mouthful of saliva and went to the wooden table.
The old man said to the county lord and the two guards:
"Hurry up and eat something, the old woman on that table is specially made for you, rest early when you are full, and you will go to the county seat early tomorrow morning."
The two guards helped the county lord to sit down at the wooden table, and then they both sat down.
After the three of them gobbled up for a while, the food on the wooden table was almost eaten by them.
The old woman asked:
"Is enough to eat?"
The county lord then said:
"Enough, the three of us have eaten, thank you for the hospitality of the aunt and uncle, you are really good people!"
The old woman smiled and said:
"We are not good people, if it weren't for the fact that the three of you are miserable people, we wouldn't have taken in the three of you to stay at our house tonight!"
After saying this, the old woman pointed to the bed on the side and said:
"The three of you will squeeze in tonight, and there will only be this one bed left in the house."
The county lord nodded and said:
"Okay, the three of us squeezed into a bed, it's a thousand times better than us sleeping in the woods outside, it's out of the way."
The old man then said:
"Okay, you can rest early after eating, and my wife and I will go back to the room to rest."
The county lord nodded and said:
"You two elders go and rest first, we will rest after eating, and we will leave early tomorrow morning."
The old man and the old woman went to the room on the side, closed the door and rested.
After the county lord and his two guards finished eating, they all went to the bed to rest, and the three of them were crowded on a couch, without the distinction of rank, but it also seemed to be quite a harmonious scene.
The night faded and dawn arrived.
Early in the morning, the county lord and the two guards got up, and then said goodbye to the old woman and the old man, and went in the direction of the county seat.
The sprain on the county adult's foot has been rested and recuperated, and the swelling has also decreased a lot, although it is still a little painful, but it has been much better.
The two guards still supported the county lord and continued to walk along the avenue in the direction of the county seat.
Soon, they were able to see the direction of the county seat, and at the gate of the county seat, there was an endless stream of people and cars and horses coming and going, so it was not lively.
A guard Chong County Lord was full of excitement and said:
"Look, my lord, the county seat is ahead, and we're about to arrive."
The county lord also smiled and said:
"Yes, it's finally here, let's go to the minister of the yamen when we enter the county, and ask the minister to send us to the palace to meet the emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom."
One of the guards asked:
"My lord, we don't have a way to get the money."
County Lord says:
"No, don't we already have clean clothes, now I take the emperor's token to find the county lord in this county, he will definitely not treat the three of us as Huazi, isn't this much more worry-free."
The guard nodded:
"That's right."
One of the guards asked:
"Your Excellency, you say, if the county magistrates in this county don't believe what we say at all, then what should we do? Will he arrest all three of us?" ”
The county lord was stunned and said seriously:
"I have the emperor's token in my hand, presumably it is impossible for the county lord of this county to be ignorant, so he should not dare to arrest the three of us easily, so we don't have to be afraid."
After finishing speaking, the two guards continued to help the county lord and went to the county seat in front.
came to the gate of the county seat, and the guards at the gate did not stop the county lord and his two guards at all, and directly let them enter the city.
Maybe it's because the country and the people are safe, and the people below are living in peace, and there are not so many people doing evil, otherwise, at the gate of the city where so many people come and go, the guards let the people in and out without searching their bodies.
After the two guards helped the county lord to walk for a while, they asked someone for directions, and then went to the direction of the yamen of the county seat.
