Chapter 337: You're Ah Fu's sister
Bai Shengrui was packing up the documents on his case, and when she asked suddenly, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”
"You really forgot, hmph, you bastard, you promised to swear, and you turned your head and forgot all about it. I'm going to ignore you anymore. With that, he got angry and wanted to leave.
Bai Shengrui saw that she was angry, so he quickly put down the things in his hand, chased after her, and coaxed her and said, "Don't be angry, how dare I forget what I promised you." ”
"Then tell me, what's the matter?" Wanyan Lingyue hugged her arms and stared at him tightly, waiting for his answer.
Bai Shengrui stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead, his mind spun rapidly, thinking about what he had promised Yan Lingyue.
Wanyan Lingyue saw that he couldn't answer, so he was about to attack again, but Bai Shengrui suddenly remembered at this moment, he hurriedly grabbed Wanyan Lingyue's arm and said, "I promised you to go to Afu's sister and see her marry with your own eyes." ”
After Yan Lingyue saw him answer, she showed a satisfied smile.
Since he was going to find Ah Fu's sister, the day of the army would have to be postponed for a while, but Bai Shengrui didn't want the whole army to wait too anxiously, so he ordered Vice Marshal Chen to lead the army out of the border and wait for him in the small city.
Vice Marshal Chen didn't ask in detail, so he agreed.
After arranging the return of the army to the Western Zhou Dynasty, Bai Shengrui and Wanyan Lingyue disguised themselves to find Ah Fu's sister.
According to the memories of those who enlisted in the army with Ah Fu, Ah Fu's hometown was a small village in the western border of Buqi, and it was only a day's trip from where Bai Shengrui's army was stationed.
After Yan Lingyue prepared some simple bags, she went on the road with Bai Shengrui.
Chen Hong originally planned to go together, but was stopped by Bai Shengrui.
It is rare to have a chance to be alone with Wanyan Lingyue, Bai Shengrui is ready to make good use of it, if there is a person added to it, wouldn't it be a big disaster.
Chen Hong saw that Bai Shengrui was extremely persistent, so he didn't dare to speak. This prince has always said the same, and if his kindness annoys him, it will really outweigh the losses.
Without the servants and guards to follow, the two of them wandered on their way.
Along the way, all you see is nature, and there are sometimes a few villages. Butch was originally a nomadic tribe, and it was not a prosperous town like the Western Zhou Dynasty.
According to the guidance of the locals, after a day's journey, Bai Shengrui and Wanyan Lingyue came to the village where Ah Fu lived before his death.
The village was small, with only a few dozen families in the village, and all of them were adobe houses. Some of the old houses look like old people who are about to die, crumbling.
This village is really poor, no wonder Ah Fu would join the army at such a young age in order to make a dowry for his sister.
Wanyan Lingyue sat on the horse, and there were sad scenes as far as her eyes could see, Bai Shengrui also frowned, and did not speak for a long time.
After a long time, he said, "This is Butch under the rule of the King of Eternity, and the people live in such a difficult situation, but he spends all day drinking. There was a lot of anger in his speech.
It is no wonder why the Western Zhou Dynasty seized the royal power of Butch, but the people of Butch did not rise up to resist.
The dim-witted royal power has long made them lose their support, how can they work for this royal power.
Those who are unpopular will be abandoned.
Wanyan Lingyue was also stunned when she heard his words. After entering the village, Wan Yan Lingyue got off the horse, walked to the front of a house, and saw an old man standing in the courtyard, who was looking at them curiously.
After Yan Lingyue politely stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask where Ah Fu's home is." ”
The old man's ears were a little back, and after Yan Lingyue asked loudly again, the old man could hear clearly, he grinned, pointed to the east of the village, and said, "Go all the way to the east, and the one at the end of the house is Ah Fu's home." ”
After thanking the old man, he walked to the Afu family in the east of the village after Yan Lingyue.
On the road, from time to time, there were people in the village, putting down their work and looking at them curiously.
Being stared at like this, Bai Shengrui felt a little uncomfortable, he covered his mouth with his hand, coughed lightly, and said, "It's really a little weird to be stared at like this." ”
"What's strange, these villagers are afraid that their ancestors have lived here for generations, and it is rare to see people outside, so they are just a little curious." Wanyan Lingyue was very calm about this.
She has lived in Huaxi Village for many years, so she knows such a village, and she knows the people in such a village even better.
When I reached the east end of the village, I saw an adobe house standing alone.
The houses in this village are very dilapidated, but compared to this house, they are much better.
The house was made of yellow mud, and it had been turned gray over time, and the exterior walls were mottled as if it had leprosy.
Above the roof, there are even more miscellaneous mornings. The doors and windows are also dilapidated, as if they would rot at the slightest touch.
Bai Shengrui had never seen such a dilapidated house, and he sighed and said, "Can such a house be inhabited?" ”
Wanyan Lingyue beside him didn't respond, so he turned his head to look at her, and saw her staring at the house in a daze with red circles in her eyes.
This is where Ah Fu once lived.
He has suffered so much, but he has ended up with such an ending, and the more Wanyan Lingyue thinks about it, the more sad she becomes.
Bai Shengrui saw that she was emotional, and he was afraid that she would be too sad, so he gently pushed her and said softly, "Let's go in." ”
After Yan Lingyue retracted her thoughts, she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes. Then he nodded at Bai Shengrui.
The two tied their horses, and walked towards the garden, and out of nowhere came a big yellow dog, barking at them.
The barking of the yellow dog alarmed the people in the house, and a soft female voice came out, "Kiko, what are you calling?" ”
Listening to this voice, with a simple energy, Wanyan Lingyue thought to herself, is this Ah Fu's sister?
As the woman's voice fell, the door to the hut opened, and out came a girl with long braids and a burlap dress.
The girl's face is delicate, and her silhouette is very similar to Ah Fu, looking at her face, she is more sure that this is Ah Fu's sister.
Seeing that the hostess had come out, the big yellow dog hurriedly ran to her side, wagged his tail, and then continued to stare vigilantly at Wan Yan Lingyue and Bai Shengrui.
Ah Fu's sister found out that a stranger appeared in the yard, she flashed her big innocent eyes and looked at the two people in front of her curiously, and then asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"You're Ah Fu's sister, right?" After Yan Lingyue asked tentatively, she knew that she must be, but she still had to confirm it.
Because this is Ah Fu's deathbed trust, she doesn't want to make any mistakes.
As soon as the woman heard Ah Fu's name, her eyes immediately lit up with joy, she nodded heavily, and then asked, "You know Ah Fu, but he is his friend." ”
Wanyan Lingyue also nodded. Although she and Ah Fu have only been together for a short time, she has already recognized him as her friend.
The woman was even more happy when she saw it, and hurriedly let the two of them into the house.
