Chapter 1257: Under the Apricot Tree (Page 1/1)

Fortunately, Old Man Kong didn't go with Shi Yuan in the end. Maybe saying such a thing would make Old Man Kong think more, but this can always be explained, if he saw the two brothers by the river...... I can't explain that!

Although the road is not close, fortunately, the road conditions are not complicated. When you leave the village, you will walk straight along the path on the edge of the field and you will soon reach the river. It was dinner time, and there were no people in the village, so there wouldn't be too much trouble.

When Shi Yuan came to the river, the two brothers were still waiting for him under the cliff. The two didn't know what they were talking about, Shi Yuan stood on the cliff and shouted, and the two looked over.

I went up far from the stone, met Old Man Kong, and then followed Old Man Kong back to the village, and had dinner...... It's been a long time. The two brothers were waiting here, more or less anxious. At this time, hearing Shi Yuan's shout, he turned around and saw Shi Yuan standing on the edge of the cliff waving his hand, and the faces of the two of them obviously showed a trace of relaxed joy.

"You go back by ferry, I found a village here, and I happened to follow the villagers to Chongzhou City to inquire about the situation......" The two came to Shi Yuan, and Shi Yuan told the two of them about his plans.

Because Qin Hongmian had explained when he came, the two of them didn't say much after hearing it, nodded in response, and were ready to bend over and row across the river on a raft.

Shi Yuan stood on the shore and thought for a while, as if there was nothing missing, and he was about to leave, but when he turned around, he remembered that before his trip, he had told Old Man Kong that he was here to get something. If he went back empty-handed, there would be nothing to do, and he and his wife would not ask him anything. But in this way, Old Man Kong's misunderstanding of himself is only afraid that it will be deeper......

Shi Yuan went to get something, but Old Man Kong and his wife were not idle. But let's talk about busy, there is nothing to be busy with, nothing more than sorting out the things to be used on the next road. Twenty miles, hurry back, the sky is about to get dark. This is still without accidents, and if something happens, you can't stop staying somewhere for the night.

Old man Kong was sitting in the courtyard, and it was almost noon, and the sun was shining hot. There is an apricot tree in the courtyard, and the apricots on the apricot tree are not yet ripe, but they are big enough, but they are still a little green...... And Old Man Kong was sitting under the apricot tree at this time.

"Old man, everything is ready for you. Be careful on your way. Old man Kong leaned against the apricot tree, he didn't know what he was thinking, he squinted his eyes, and looked as if he was about to fall asleep. It wasn't until he heard his wife come out of the house that he opened his eyes.

"Well, what do you want to bring, old woman?" It is not easy for them to go to the city, under normal circumstances, they bring some grain and vegetables, and rush into the city to sell some money and then buy something else in time for the ripe season...... At the end of the year, you don't go to the city more than ten times, so you usually have to buy more things when you go to the city. Old man Kong doesn't take care of things at home, so most of the time he has to ask his wife.

"Hmm...... There is also nothing to buy. It's hard to say whether this can go into the city or not, but you have to be careful on the way. My wife thought for a moment, then sighed and shook her head. In these years, it's enough to live well, but you can hope for anything else.

The old man Kong, who was leaning against the apricot tree, heard his wife say this, so he sat up straight, sighed deeply, and nodded, "This kid doesn't know what the origin is, why do you want to go to Chongzhou City...... And he always inquired about things in the army......"

"Don't think about it! The kid looked pretty honest, not like a bad guy. Besides, it is very reasonable for people to care about these things. You can't care about what crops are planted in the fields like you do, can you? When my wife heard Old Man Kong talk about this again, she rolled her eyes, and actually used the word "honest" to describe Shi Yuan...... Seriously, except for Guo Shi Yuan, who will use these two words on himself, no one will definitely use him! If he is honest, then I am afraid that there will be no honest people in this world.

Old man Kong is an understanding person, so he shook his head, "That kid is not an honest person, he is a farmer along the way, he is flamboyant, and he looks very lively." But he shouldn't be a bad guy...... That's it, that's it, I'll take him to Chongzhou City to overlook. By the way, let's see if you can find out the news of San'er. ”

Old man Kong actually didn't tell Shi Yuan everything about his family, yes, his three sons were pulled to be soldiers, but not all of them. His third son was arrested a few days ago when the Beiqing army crossed the river! That's why these days he frequently inquires about his son's whereabouts, in fact, he also inquires about the whereabouts of his third son.

Hearing Old Man Kong talk about "San'er", his wife couldn't help but redden, touched her eye sockets, and almost cried.

"I heard Wu Lao Er at the head of the village say that the newly captured soldiers did not cross the river this time, and all of them were taken to Chongzhou City. Maybe I'll meet him. For his wife's appearance, Old Man Kong has seen it many times, and he didn't dissuade him, so he said it to himself.

"Good! Then you go and see, and talk about it...... San'er is not a few years old with him......" What the woman said about him was, of course, talking about Shi Yuan.

And when Old Man Kong heard this, he stood up and stretched his waist for a long time, "That kid said that he was only nineteen years old, where is he the same age as San'er?" Speaking of which...... That kid has been going for most of the day, why hasn't he come back yet? If you don't come back, you won't be able to go. Old man Kong looked at the scorching sun shining overhead, and finally muttered.

Coincidentally, as soon as the words fell, my wife didn't have time to speak, so I saw Shi Yuan outside the fence wall, and Shi Yuan was back with a burden.

"What are you carrying here?" As soon as Shi Yuan carried this wrapped in clothes and entered the courtyard, Old Man Kong asked curiously.

"Hey...... If you don't believe it, I don't know what is in it. This is what a friend asked me to take, and I can't untie it to see. Shi Yuan gently put down the burden, smiled, and replied.

"Don't know? I really don't understand you readers...... Do you want to carry this baggage? Since Shi Yuan deliberately ran to get this burden, Old Man Kong thought that he was going to carry this burden.
