Chapter 327: Foothold
Hongnong-gun.
I can't get to the door, and I laugh and talk about it.
In this county, everyone's perception is still stuck in the concept that the war stops in Mianchi County, except for a few rich merchants who came from Caoyang County to take refuge in advance, this war did not have much impact on Hongnong County, and it is still the same life.
Stop and go all the way, Mo Shuyan is in front, Ji Jun is behind, the two have not said a word, find a sheltered place to rest at night, Mo Shuyan will change the gauze and dressing by himself, but he didn't let Ji Jun worry about it, since Mo Shuyan is unwilling to speak, Ji Jun is commendable and speechless all the way.
I don't know how many days have passed, Mo Shuyan and Ji Jun, who were walking in the wind and snow, finally came to Hongnong County, after entering the county, maybe because it was a lot more lively, it increased a lot of popularity, and the body was a little more relaxed than in the previous days.
"Please, okay, my brother and I haven't eaten in days."
"Get out of here, you stink, you have to pay for soiling my clothes?"
.........
Not long after entering the county, a noise came from afar, and Mo Shuyan subconsciously looked, it turned out to be a small and ragged little beggar, who was begging with a passing man in Chinese clothes, and there was another even shorter beggar behind him, looking at the man in Chinese clothes with fear on his face, scolding, it should be the younger brother in the mouth of the little beggar.
Looking at these two little beggars, Mo Shuyan, who had not changed his face for many days, had a smile on his face, as if he had returned to the original place, the place where the little beggar talked with baked cakes, after so many years, at this moment, it seemed that everything had returned to the starting point, he was still the ignorant teenager, and he was still naΓ―ve and jumping around.
At this moment, Ji Jun suddenly walked up and stopped the man in Chinese clothes who was about to kick the little beggar.
The man in the Chinese costume who was stopped looked at Ji Jun, and saw that he was not rich except for being taller, so he immediately shouted: "Who asked you to meddle in things, do you know who I am?" If you don't get out of the way, I'll clean up with you later. β
"If you don't leave, I'll clean you up now, believe it or not?" Ji Jun smiled very calmly, but this smile made the man in Chinese clothes feel timid.
"You wait for me, I can't kill you."
The man in the fancy costume continued to shout, but he didn't have the courage to stay here any longer, as if he was going to call someone.
It's a pity that Ji Jun is not afraid, he really can't beat him, he can still move out of Mo Shuyan, the county guard will give a few thin noodles, and he can be afraid of a rich boy who doesn't know where?
Maybe it was because he saw that Ji Jun was afraid that they would drive away the man in fancy clothes who was about to commit murder, although the little beggar was a little hesitant, he still knelt beside Ji Jun and begged: "Okay, big brother, we haven't eaten for a few days." β
"This ......"
Ji Jun wanted to ask Mo Shuyan's opinion first, but when he turned around, he saw the undisguised smile on Mo Shuyan's face, and suddenly his heart was shocked, guiding Mo Shuyan to where he was standing, and said with a smile: "What I said doesn't count, you go and ask the big brother." β
Hearing this, the little beggar wanted to kneel in the snow and crawl over to Mo Shuyan, but was naturally stopped by Mo Shuyan, and then Mo Shuyan walked to the little beggar's side, half-squatted down, helped the little beggar up, and said to Ji Jun with a soft face: "Go buy some ordinary warm clothes and food." β
"Okay."
In response, Ji Jun ran away with a smile on his face, and Mo Shuyan finally spoke, for him, he was happier than anything else.
It didn't take long for Ji Jun to return with two warm cotton clothes and more than a dozen hot steamed buns, Mo Shuyan first distributed the steamed buns to the pair of little beggars, watching them gobble up the steamed buns, his eyes were full of hungry wolf-like looks, Mo Shuyan took the cotton clothes with a little distress between his eyebrows and helped them put them on one by one.
The people around him, seeing that the matter was over, silently praised Mo Shuyan in their hearts, and dispersed.
And taking this opportunity, Mo Shuyan secretly stuffed some copper coins into his brother's hand, and said to his brother in a low voice: "All this money is hidden, I really can't ask for food, and then take it out to buy something to eat, and if the wealth is not exposed, it will not be snatched by those lazy beggars, you know?" β
"Got it... Thank you, brother..."
The tears of the elder brother who chewed the steamed buns in his mouth couldn't help but flow out, but they quickly condensed into ice on the dirty little face, until the tears in the back melted them again, and then they dripped into the snow and disappeared.
"Hmm."
Answered, Mo Shuyan got up and left, without looking at the little beggar again, after all, everyone has their own life, he can only become a passerby, the war does not stop day by day, the displaced people, as time goes by, more beggars will be derived.
After this incident, Mo Shuyan returned to reality, without too much reverie, now he just wants to live a real life, to recognize his real needs, he walked forward quickly, followed by Ji Jun, who was holding two horses and had a lot of grievances, Ji Jun at this time, began to miss the days when Mo Shuyan ignored him, at least he didn't have to lead two horses to follow.
Soon, Mo Shuyan took Ji Jun to an inn, and after asking for a room, Mo Shuyan went upstairs by himself, and ordered the shopkeeper to help him get a pen and paper, and when Ji Jun settled the horse and went up to the room, he only saw what Mo Shuyan was writing in the book.
Before Ji Jun could lean over to see the truth, Mo Shuyan took the pen and handed it to Ji Jun, and then instructed: "Go to the county guard mansion to contact the intelligence system here, and send this letter to Chang'an and hand it over to Xu Zisheng." β
"No."
Although he didn't know what Mo Shuyan wrote, this letter was addressed to Xu Zisheng, so Ji Jun had to take it to heart, hurriedly inquired about the shopkeeper, and rushed to the county guard's mansion.
Mo Shuyan, who stayed here, opened the window and looked at the street scene outside the house, with a soft smile on his face.
The purpose of the letter was to explain what had happened in Michi County, and to inform Xu Zisheng of his recent plans, that he planned to stay in Hongnong County for a while, to experience the real life, and of course, to let go.
The reason why I want to say it is because if he disappears abruptly like this, if Xu Zisheng is suspicious and kills Qiao Wan, then Mo Shuyan will regret it for the rest of his life, and telling himself where he is a must to do, and there has been no news for so many days, it is estimated that Xu Zisheng is a little unable to sit still.
"What is real? What is the request? Hopefully, in the rest of the day, I'll be able to truly grasp the gist of it. β
Mo Shuyan looked at the snowy scene outside the house, and gradually began to be a little distracted and fascinated.
