Chapter 33: Overnight in the Village
On the southeastern edge of a primeval forest, nearly a hundred trees were blown to pieces. There are obvious burn marks on the ground, and although there are no flames anymore, the scene of the mess is still very shocking!
A team of horses walked slowly through the woods. The young man at the head just looked at the explosion in front of him, and his heart was already very anxious! However, the trees ahead were too dense and there was no road, so the horse team could not walk quickly, so they could only move slowly.
When the horse team arrived at the scene of the explosion, the boy hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and the servant next to him had already caught the reins.
The boy rummaged back and forth through the bare place names, trying to find some clues.
Suddenly, he saw a piece of cyan silk cloth, and his heart suddenly hurriedly shouted around, "Master! Master! Where are you? ”
There was no response from anyone around, and he continued to shout, knowing that his voice was a little hoarse when he shouted, so he gave up.
His eyes were in a daze, his limbs suddenly weakened, and he fell to the ground!
The servants were frightened and hurried forward to help.
"Get out! Get out of here! You're all rubbish! The young man waved his hands to drive everyone away, and scolded fiercely.
When the servants saw this, they did not dare to come forward, but looked at him timidly from a distance.
The boy sat there, already in tears, unable to cry!
"It's impossible!" muttered. ... It's absolutely impossible! ”
"How can an eight- or nine-year-old child kill my master? ... What's more, my master has already become a golden pill! ”
But that's the case, no matter how much he deceives himself, he can't find his master.
Suddenly, his heart moved! I thought that I hadn't seen Master's corpse, not even the bones! Master might still be alive!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up and instructed the servants, "Hurry up and look around, my master must be around here!" ”
The servants hurriedly led the order to the surrounding area and began to search.
The boy also began to look in the woods, and when he saw that the trees were full of flowers, he shouted to the servants, "You must look carefully, and you must not spare every bush." ”
After a while, a servant shouted, "Young master! Master! I found it! ”
The boy is overjoyed, don't run and don't shout: "Where is it?" ”
The servant shouted at the top of his voice, "Here! Over here! The servant was afraid that the boy would not find him, and his voice was particularly high.
The boy came to the depths of the woods, and saw the master lying in the grass, his eyes closed, and his clothes were torn, but they were not completely destroyed. He hurriedly instructed the servants: "You carry my master, let's hurry home to save my master!" ”
The servants replied, "Yes!" Master. ”
Then the group was divided into two groups, one group led the horse, and the other group carried the old man. Because it was too bumpy immediately, the boy was worried that he would upside down the master.
The young man rode on his horse and led the people to his house.
Feng Yang ran not far away, and his heart suddenly sank! Secretly said: "I was still careless just now, and I only saw a piece of clothing and concluded that the old guy was dead!" I didn't find any body! I regretted it for a while, but when I thought that if I didn't go and catch up with the people behind me, it would be difficult for him to get out, and his heart was calm.
When it was getting dark, he came to a village.
The village is very large, there are a lot of people in the village, it is not yet the spring ploughing season, the work in the field is mainly ploughing, and the villagers have come back early.
The chimneys of every house are smoking, and they should all be cooking, Feng Yang saw this scene, and his stomach couldn't help but sound a voice of protest!
He had never begged, and he couldn't open his face or open his mouth, so he had to look at the villagers' yards as he walked, hoping that someone would take the initiative to talk to him.
As we walked, there was a large family in front of me, the wall was more than a foot high, and the vermilion gate was open.
Feng Yang came to the door and saw a middle-aged man walking back and forth in the doorway, as if he was waiting for someone.
Feng Yang didn't dare to come forward to talk, and was about to leave in frustration.
At this moment, a calm voice came.
"Huh? Whose child are you? How is it here? ”
Feng Yang turned his head when he heard this, and it was the middle-aged man who was talking to him.
The middle-aged man was slightly chubby, with a big belly, wearing a red silk robe, a jade belt hanging from his waist, and a pair of thick-soled soap boots at his feet.
Looking at the face, the middle-aged man's face is as white as ever, his eyes are deep and bright, his nose is slightly large, his lips are very thick, his earlobes are like Buddha, and his face is rich and glorious.
Feng Yang hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello uncle! I wanted to go to Tarzan, but I accidentally got lost and came here. ”
The middle-aged man was slightly startled, thinking to himself why an older child would go to Mount Tai alone? But he's very polite!
"This is not far from Mount Tai, from here to the northeast to walk more than eighty miles, you can reach the foot of Mount Tai!" The middle-aged man said calmly.
Feng Yang took a closer look at the middle-aged man and found that he spoke elegantly and had an extraordinary temperament, so he must be an official!
Feng Yang hurriedly thanked: "Thank you uncle for pointing the way, my nephew has taken his leave!" After saying that, Feng Yang turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Suddenly, the middle-aged man stopped Feng Yang.
Feng Yang was startled, turned around and looked at the middle-aged man strangely and asked, "Uncle, is there anything else you have to do?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Child, it's getting late, you might as well leave tomorrow!" My house is simple, but there is a vacant room where you can stay for one night! Although the food at home is bland, it is barely enough! ”
Feng Yang thought in his heart when he heard this, this is the modesty of the ancients, but the rich and noble people said that they were like asking for food!
Feng Yang hurriedly smiled: "Uncle, what did you say?" Your kind nephew has got it! My nephew really doesn't dare to bother your old man. ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "Haha, not bad!" You're an interesting kid, I've never seen a kid like you in my life, you look like you're only eight or nine years old, right? ”
Feng Yang nodded and said, "Uncle is very accurate!" My nephew is eight years old! ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he felt a little more fond in his heart, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, let's not stand at the door, let's go to the house and talk!"
Feng Yang is not good to postpone it again, I am afraid that this middle-aged man will be unhappy, and it just so happens that he is also hungry now. It is also excellent to have a meal and sleep at his house. followed the middle-aged man and walked to the courtyard.
This courtyard is very large, divided into front and back yards. The front yard is a quadrangle with very many houses. He followed the middle-aged man into the main hall of the main house, which was a special place to receive visitors, and the backyard was supposed to be the residence of the owners.
Feng Yang and the middle-aged man sat down in the hall, and a little maid came in with a teapot and poured tea for the two.
When Feng Yang saw the tea at this time, he immediately felt thirsty, and drank the tea bowl in one go.
He wiped his mouth and said to the little maid, "Sister, pour me another bowl!" ”
