Chapter 11: A Hazy Encounter

Su Shunde and Yu Yuelan were startled when they heard Su He's words, and Yu Yuelan even subconsciously pulled Su Lian and exclaimed, "Lian'er, you ...... Hurry up and go home...... No, you go back to Yanran first......"

Su Lian knew that his mother was nervous, but Su He said that someone saw it, but he didn't say when he saw it, smiled and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, let's listen to Xiao He clearly." ”

After that, he turned around and asked Su He, "Don't worry, explain it first." When did Aunt Wang see the officers and soldiers? How many people are there? ”

Su He looked confused, thought about it and shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't ask, as soon as I heard her say that I saw officers and soldiers on the street, I immediately ran out......"

Su Lian was also laughing when he heard this, and then turned to Yu Yuelan and Su Shunde and said, "Daddy, let's do it, I'll go to the county government first." ”

Su Shunde immediately said: "No, you go home first, I'll take a look." ”

"Dad, don't worry, I'm familiar here, I'm more familiar with the county office, I'll take a peek. Besides, I don't think the county government should have returned to normal so quickly. Su Lian said with a smile.

Seeing that he insisted, Su Shunde glanced at Yu Yuelan again, and said, "I don't feel at ease with your mother when you go, it's better for me to take a look." ”

Yu Yuelan also nodded. Su Lian said helplessly: "Daddy, I'll go and see it myself, first, I can rest assured, and second, the more I understand, the more I know what to do." You don't know what to see. ”

Su Shunde sighed and said, "Okay, then you must pay attention to safety and come back early." ”

"Brother, I'll go with you!" Su He said immediately.

"No need, I still have to take care of you if you go, trouble! You go home and take a good look at your parents. ”

Su He lowered his head, let out an "oh", and said, "Then be careful yourself!" ”

Su Lian nodded, watched them go away, and turned around and walked in the direction of the county office. The county government is separated from the pharmacy by two streets, and at the northeast corner of the county street, it won't take long for Su Lian to walk over. Along the way, he found no traces of officers and soldiers, and when he walked to the gate of the county office, he did not find the guards. To be on the safe side, he didn't go straight to the front door, but went around to the back and climbed up the wall to check. But looking left and right, there was no sign of activity in the yamen.

Although Su Lian had a gut feeling that the yamen would not return to normal so soon, he still had the courage to go in and check it out at this time. After a few turns, no one was found except for a few dogs. Su Lian didn't know where Aunt Wang saw the officers and soldiers, so he had to go out and ask others.

When I walked into the street, I asked a few businessmen who were setting up stalls, and they all said that there were indeed a large number of officers and soldiers, who passed by the street with murderous spirits, but they were wearing armor, holding halberds, and shields.

Isn't that weird? There are a large number of officers and soldiers passing by here, so have they been to the yamen to see it? Su Lian had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't get an answer.

When asked which direction these officers and soldiers were going, they all said that they had gone north. Su Lian secretly felt in his heart that it might have something to do with Ma Fei's village. Could it be that the officers and soldiers are preparing to encircle and suppress Brother Ma's stockade?

However, Su Lian could only think about these thoughts in his head, and he couldn't actually do anything. As he walked back, he was still thinking about whether he could find a way to help Brother Ma and them.

At this time, it was noon, the sun was shining, and the pedestrians on the street were gradually becoming scarce to escape the heat. Su Lian just buried his head in walking, still thinking about the question just now, but suddenly his heart jumped for no reason.

As soon as he looked up, he was greeted by a carriage clattering towards him. The white horse is handsome, the car paint is dark red, and the driver is also an ordinary man. But Su Lian watched the carriage coming towards him, and somehow his heart beat faster, so much so that he had to clench his hands to calm down. His eyes were fixed on the carriage, as if trying to see through the curtain of the door to see the people sitting inside.

The carriage got closer and closer, Su Lian suppressed his excitement, moved a step to the side to get out of the way, but just saw the words on the curtain cloth of the carriage, which should be the surname of the owner of the carriage.

It is a "Luo" character, which is written through the body and is upright and masculine. When Su Lian saw this word, his heartbeat that had been suppressed jumped even more rapidly, so that he had to take a few deep breaths before he could resist jumping up and beckoning. He was distracted at the moment, looking at the oncoming carriage, motionless, his eyes unblinking, as if he only needed to blink an eye, the carriage would disappear immediately, as if the people in the carriage would come out of it the next moment, and let their souls fly out of the sky.

The white horse was insensitive, still walking slowly, and the driver was wooden, still driving his car without squinting. The white horse passed by Su Lian's side and seemed to raise his eyes and exhale at him, his breath short. The driver was lean and lean, sat on the frame, and glanced at the young man who was standing still, and there seemed to be a light in his eyes, and only in a moment he regained his mologness.

The word "Luo" was in front of him, and Su Lian's eyes seemed to be frozen. It was like a breeze blowing, and it was like the people inside pulling up the curtain cloth slightly, only in an instant, Su Lian's head seemed to explode, "buzzing", his ears were hot, his breathing was short, and his heart was like a drumming and a dry gong, which could not be controlled.

The skin is like snow, the eyebrows are powdered and the lips are powdered, the eyes are like the starry sky, and the temperament is like a fairy, although only half of the face is exposed, it makes Su Lian thirsty to drink sweet springs, sit in the spring breeze, and his soul has already been thrown out of the clouds, and he can't recover for a long time. He didn't know the people in the carriage, and he had never seen them, but just that glimpse made him feel like milk and water were blending, and the whole body was warm and endless. It was a familiar feeling that had not been seen for a long time, and it was a strange spiritual stirring.

Until the carriage gradually moved away, Su Lian was still immersed in a trance and couldn't extricate himself, his mind was full of fragments that could not be pieced together, lingering and flickering, flickering, and elusive. He stood in the middle of the street, unaware of the passing of pedestrians, and the sun was setting in the sky.

In the carriage, a woman in a white dress with long hair hanging down her shoulders, and a woman in a blue shirt with two buns on her head. The woman in the white dress stroked her chest with one hand at this time, exhaled, and seemed to be calming down her excitement.

"Miss, do you know this person?" The woman in the blue shirt asked with a tilted head.

"I don't know......," replied the woman in the white dress, her voice crisp and soft.

"And what are you secretly looking at?" The woman in the blue shirt asked playfully again, her round face full of confusion.

"I just...... Feel...... I should know him......" The woman in the white dress replied with a blank look in her eyes.

The blue-shirted woman's face was even more confused, and she shook her head and said, "Miss, what are you talking about?" ”

"I don't know what I'm talking about......" The woman in the white dress smiled slightly, shook her head helplessly, drove away the clutter in her heart, and suddenly pursed her lips and sneered.

"Miss...... You're weird......" muttered the blue-shirted woman, turning her head away from her.

In the middle of the street, a ten-year-old boy was jumping around and shouting, running to a young man who was standing, patted him on the shoulder, and shouted: "Brother Su! Ha ha! ”

Su Lian woke up from his trance, and when he saw the boy in front of him, it was actually Xu Zhenyuan's son who sold cloth, Xu Che.

"Xu Che! You're naughty again, scare me, right? Su Lian said with a smile.

"No, when I saw Brother Su, I came over to say hello," Xu Che said with a smile.

Although he is only ten years old, he is a big ghost, and often plays around alone, although his father doesn't care about him, he never suffers, he actually eats and drinks, and from time to time he brings some to his father, I don't know where he got it from. However, Su Lian understands a little bit, Xu Che is a small and clever person, he often sees people running errands on the street, taking things or something, plus he has a sweet mouth, and often gets some rewards or food.

"Where are you crazy today? Why didn't you see your father? "Su Lian likes this clever boy a lot, and when he has something, he will ask him for help, and give him some food by the way.

Hearing Su Lian ask where his father was, Xu Che's originally smiling face suddenly dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "My mother is sick, and my father is taking care of her at home, so he didn't come today." ”

Su Lian was taken aback, although Xu Zhenyuan was usually very open-minded, he never seemed to have heard him mention his mother-in-law, Xu Che was naughty all day long, and he had never seen his mother take care of him. At this time, hearing Xu Che mention that his mother was sick, Su Lian realized that maybe the aunt of the Xu family had been sick all along, and there was no way to come out to take care of so much.

"Is your mother sick? Why do you never see your father buy medicine to cure the disease? Why do you still play around and don't take care of your mother? Su Lian was puzzled in his heart, although he was only familiar with Uncle Xu, he usually nodded and spoke, and he also felt that he should go and see it at this time.

Xu Che said aggrievedly: "My father didn't let me get close to my mother, and I also secretly watched it, but it couldn't help after seeing it, and it was uncomfortable, so it was better to come out and earn more delicious food and go back to her ......"

"When did your mother get sick? Didn't you ask Lang Zhong to take a look? Su Lian asked, took Xu Che's hand, and said, "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”

"It's been several years. My father looked for someone to see it a few years ago, and he didn't ask anyone to see it again, and he didn't let me get close to my mother......" Xu Che said gloomily.

Don't let Xu Che get closer? What kind of infectious disease is it? Su Lian had suspicions in his heart, and he only knew when he went to see it.

The Xu family is fifteen miles north of the county in a place called Chaigou, and according to Xu Zhenyuan, he was originally from Luotian County and moved here with his family when he was in his twenties. Su Lian only remembered this, he had never been to the Xu family, and this was the first time.

When I arrived at Xu's house, I happened to see Xu Zhenyuan washing clothes outside the house. Seeing Xu Che coming over with Su Lian, he was taken aback, glanced at Xu Che dissatisfiedly, and hurriedly beckoned Su Lian into the house to sit.

As soon as Su Lian entered the house, he looked around and saw that the furnishings in the house were simple, and there was almost nothing. He was not polite, and said directly: "Uncle Xu, I came to see Aunt Xu, where is she?" ”

Xu Zhenyuan laughed dryly and said, "What is there to see about my mother-in-law, you are a guest here, sit down first, and I will pour you a glass of water ......"

"Uncle Xu, I know that Aunt Xu is sick, so I came to see it......" Su Lian interrupted.

Xu Zhenyuan smiled awkwardly, and looked at Xu Che, but found that the kid didn't know where to hide. Su Lian didn't know what he was avoiding, so he simply said: "I know that Aunt Xu's illness may be contagious, but I am a doctor, so I am not afraid." You don't need to have any scruples. ”

Xu Zhenyuan was stunned, obviously Su Lian said it, and snorted: "That Lang Zhong said earlier that my mother-in-law doesn't have a few years to live, so don't treat it......"

Su Lian didn't know which Lang Zhong he was looking for, but he couldn't care so much at this time, and said, "Then Uncle Xu doesn't mind if I look at it more, right?" ”

Xu Zhenyuan was silent for a while, and his originally open-minded temperament was a little stunned at this time. Su Lian also understood that no matter what kind of temperament, once it involves the family, it will be chaotic, so he said: "Uncle Xu, I know that you care about Aunt Xu and want her to live well and help you take care of the family, why don't you let me go and see it again?" Maybe I have a solution? ”
