51 Entering the house
When Abuzhong and his party walked out of the valley, the sky was already bright, and after walking for half a day, they came to the inn they had passed by last time.
Abul took the reins and let the group dismount and rest while watching the inn's surroundings.
I saw that the door of the inn was closed, and two thick logs were crossed and nailed to the door, and it was empty, apparently no one had taken care of it for a long time.
Abu thought at ease, looked back and said to everyone, "What do you think if we set up a resource transfer station here in the future?" ”
Most of them had heard Abu tell the story of the inn, so they all had the impression that it was not far from the entrance of the valley, and it was indeed more appropriate.
Yu Jinglong just drank a cup of water, wiped his mouth, and asked Abu: "This location is indeed good, but this shop is so large, it shouldn't be a borderland, is there any good way for Mr. to get it?" ”
Abuhaha laughed and said, "Of course there is a way, it depends on whether I go well this time."
Actually, these are not important, if they succeed, this will be the starting point for our outward expansion; If it fails, it's a big deal that we'll just change places. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and after resting, they continued on their way.
The sun was rising overhead, and at the noon break, the crowd came up to say goodbye to Abu.
Because after eating, Abu will take Lu Gang and Li Zhengqi to drive northeast to Gumozhou City, while the others will go straight north to the small oasis indicated by Abu.
Although the leader of their group was Yu Jinglong, the person who was specifically responsible for finding the horse was an old man surnamed Pei, named Pei Lian.
The feeding, mating and healing of all kinds of livestock in the valley were all in charge of Pei Lian.
In this era when large animals were even more important than people, Pei Lian, as a veterinarian and shepherd, was respectfully called Pei Lao by the whole valley.
Although Pei Lin is in his fifties, his body is extremely tough, comparable to his prime.
His ancestor had been a shepherd in Yinchuan as an official, and he had a family heirloom horse scripture in his hand, and the riding skills of most people in the basin and the shepherding of large animals were taught by Pei Lao.
Abu said to Pei Lian: "Uncle Pei has worked hard this time, and you must pay attention to your body when you go to the wind and sand." ”
"It doesn't matter, if it is true, as the gentleman said, there are tall divine horses there, and the little old man must do his best to bring them to the valley."
"Uncle should do what he can, don't be too reluctant, and don't force everything."
Then he turned to Yu Jinglong, "Brother Yu, Uncle Pei is the treasure of our valley, you have to do your best to protect the safety of his old man." ”
"Haha, sir, don't worry, there are so many of us, are we still not able to serve Pei Lao alone?
It's you who are the backbone of our big guys, and you need to pay more attention to safety.
You two little cubs, if there is anything wrong with the gentleman, be careful that I let you peel off your skin. ”
Yu Jinglong has a stout physique, a rather evil appearance, and speaks with a bit of gangsterism, especially when he is also in charge of the guard duties in the valley, and all the young people respect and fear him.
Lu Gang and Li Zhengqi hurriedly agreed.
After lunch, everyone waved goodbye. pressed Yu Jinglong and his party without mentioning it, and said that Abu and his party were three people, and by the next day, near noon, they had already arrived in Gumozhou City.
Entering the city gate, Abu handed the reins of the horse to Li Zhengqi, stepped forward, and asked a soldier on duty next to the city gate: "Dare to ask this official, I don't know how to walk in the mansion of Lord Wen Chuwen?" ”
The soldier saw that Abu and his party were three people and six horsemen, although they were all dressed in cloth, but they were all majestic and good-looking, but they did not dare to slack off, and replied: "Are you looking for Master Wen Sima Wen?"
Walk along the current avenue for about 500 steps, and on the right hand side is the mansion of Lord Wen. ”
Abu thanked the soldier and took Lu Gang and the others to continue to move forward, thinking to himself in his heart, this Lord Wen was still a soldier last time, and now he has taken the position of Sima, and this official position has risen quite quickly.
After walking for a short time, he came to the place pointed out by the soldier just now, and sure enough, he saw a large courtyard.
The courtyard wall is built with clay bricks, the gate is built with stones, and there is a big plaque on the door, and the word "Wenfu" is written on the plaque.
In the official system of the Tang Dynasty's Dadu Protectorate, there was a Sima person, who was the next five products. In a border town like the Western Regions, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and Sima holds a lot of power, which is already a considerable official position.
It is not surprising that such a prominent and extensive mansion occupies such a large area. There was a door next to the door, and a small window was opened on the side, and there was a man by the window, looking at the group of three.
They grabbed the reins and docked beside them, Abu was afraid that the two young men would be rude, and this time he still stepped forward to inquire in person.
The porter is a strong man with a beard, and judging by the criss-crossing scars on his face, he should also be a figure who has crawled out of the pile of dead people after fighting.
After the Abu Shili, he asked, "This gentleman, I don't know if Lord Wen is in the house?" ”
After listening to Abu's question, the strong man frowned, looked at Abu's dress, and said after a while: "No, come back another day!" ”
He was a little angry that Abu called him sir. Such a literary and crepe title sounds awkward!
But the porter was originally called Mr., and it was true, so he had to hold back and endure it.
The heart said that how could the adults arrange such a job for themselves, they were really going to suffocate to death.
Abu was not annoyed, thanked the porter, and prepared to find an inn to visit another day.
The porter looked at Abu's back, and suddenly his heart moved, and he called out to Abu: "Uh...... This Lang Jun is Abu's miracle doctor? ”
Abu turned around and replied, "It's Abu down there!" ”
Inside the small room, the porter stood up and shouted loudly: "The divine doctor, please stay, my family has something to explain, if the divine doctor visits, you are welcome at any time." ”
The strong man walked out as he spoke. I saw that he landed on his left foot and a cane on his right side, and it turned out that only half of his right leg was left.
Abu stepped forward and said: "This military master turned out to be a true hero on the bloody battlefield, admire and admire, Abu is polite." ”
Hearing Abu say this, the porter's face was full of smiles: "Hahaha, the divine doctor said this, I am really ashamed to be here."
I heard adults say that the miracle doctor is indifferent to fame and fortune, and righteousness is the first, and he is under Wei Yong to meet the miracle doctor. ”
Then he shouted to the guard at the door: "Open the middle door, go and report to the lady, and say that the divine doctor Abu has arrived." ”
Then he said to Abu: "Divine doctor, please, your Excellency has official business today, it is estimated that you can come back before dinner, you can go and see your wife first."
I'm on duty at the concierge now, so I won't be with you.
Hey! Being such a porter, sitting idle all day, really suffocates me. ”
Abu thinks this straightforward man is very interesting, and he should also be an idle person.
But now that he has a disabled leg and can only stay in the house, he is really depressed, so Abu thanked Wei Yong and said to him: "Master Jun......"
As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Wei Yong: "Master Divine Doctor, don't call it that, torture the villain."
If the divine doctor can see our old coarseness, call me Wei Yong. ”
Abu said with a smile: "The soldiers who fought on the battlefield are loyal to the country, and they deserve this title." Hearing this, Wei Yong's heart was hot, and his nose was a little sour.
Abu then said, "If I have time, I'll make a prosthetic leg for you." Although you can't run like you used to, you should still be fine with daily walking and self-care. ”
Wei Yong was shocked when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, this is great news.
He threw away his crutches in excitement and prepared to bow to Abu.
One stumbled, almost didn't fall, Abu hurriedly grabbed him: "I can't help it, I can't help it, I'm doing it casually." ”
Wei Yong only felt choked in his throat, and it took a while for this bold man to come up with a sentence: "Thank you, Master Divine Doctor." ”
At this time, a steward came out, Abu said to Wei Yong to look back, nodded to the guards next to him, and walked in with the steward.
The guard next to him asked Wei Yong: "Brother Wei, is this Mr. Abu who adults often talk about?" ”
"Call the Divine Doctor!" Wei Yong seemed to be very disgusted by the word sir, and reprimanded the guard, "I heard that my lord said that Doctor Abu's medical skills are extremely good, hey! I won't tell you the specifics......
You've all heard that, Doctor Abu said that he would make me a prosthetic leg, and then I could throw away the broken crutch, hahaha. ”
After listening to Wei Yong's words, the guards hurriedly flattered: "Then let's say hello to Brother Wei first, and when the eldest brother is dexterous, the younger brothers will invite the eldest brother to eat and drink." ”
Wei Yong glared: "What bastard, if my legs and feet are better, why do you invite me to dinner?" When the time comes, I will invite the brothers to Cuiyan Tower. ”
"Thank you, big brother!"
"Big brother's boldness, it's really a big deal!"
Abu followed the steward to the main hall, where someone took the reins.
Lu Gang and Li Zhengqi had never been to such a high-level official's mansion, they were curious and excited, and kept observing with their faces sideways.
I saw that both the male and female servants were neatly dressed, well-behaved, and each did his own thing, and all of them were systematically trained.
They followed the butler into the hall, and found a woman of forty years of age sitting in the center, with a plump body, a forehead, a red silk skirt, and a jade bracelet.
Next to the woman stood a maid dressed in green, about fourteen or fifteen years old, delicate and lovely.
When Abu and them came in, the woman got up from her chair.
The steward whispered next to Abu that this was Wen Chu's original wife, Bai.
Abu took two young people and shook them to the end: "Sister-in-law is above, Abu is here!" ”
