…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Gesang was a Qiang, but now he didn't even know what he was. When www.biquge.info was in Qiangdi, he didn't have enough food and clothing, and the leaders kept asking them ordinary herdsmen to do this and that, and his father and mother were exhausted to death in this way, and they didn't even have a horse skin to wrap the corpse when they died, so they could only cover their faces with a piece of linen cloth and bury them.
Later, I went to Handi. The elders of the clan said that their fate would change from now on, that they would get better and better, and that they would marry a beautiful wife and have three sons, which made Gesang very happy. Sure enough, when he was in Shuzhong, he married a wife and gave birth to a son in the first year. The son is very strong, with thick arms and legs, and he will be a man who stands up to the sky and the earth in the future. For this reason, Gesang decided that he would repay his benefactor with his life.
Not long after Gesang made this vow, the benefactor who rescued himself from the Qiang land came. He asked Gesang to help him do one thing in a consultative tone, and Gesang agreed without even thinking about it. Since then, he has traveled thousands of miles to Yanqi City with his wife and children. As the benefactor instructed, he set up a stall in the city to sell mutton soup. I don't know if his craftsmanship is really good, or if the benefactor taught him a zero method, in less than a year, Gesang's mutton soup stall has become a meat soup shop.
At the beginning, Gesang would count how much money he made today before going to bed every night, and he was very happy when he earned more, and when he earned less, he wondered if he would prepare more tomorrow. However, as time passed, Gesang no longer had the heart to count the money. Although this place in Yanqi is good, it is a pity that there are few Han and Qiang people. The only people who come to his shop every day are the Hui people, and the Hui people are down, and the Huns are his enemies. According to the headman, the reason why the shepherds were required to work constantly was to satisfy the extortion of the Huns.
Every morning when the mutton was cooked, Gesang wanted to poison all the people who came to his shop to drink the mutton soup with a lot of poison under the power of the mutton soup. But looking at his wife and three chubby sons, Gesang's heart is not so ruthless. If you really take poison, your family will not survive, it doesn't matter if you die, your wife and children must not die.
I opened the door and looked out. The streets are deserted in the early morning. What is the Buddha's birthday today, all the pilgrims went to the temple under construction at the east gate, and even the usual patrons did not see a single one. Gesang has been rooted in Yanqi City for four and a half years, and there are only half a year left before the five years said by his benefactor, but still no one has come to look for him, which makes Gesang very anxious. He wasn't worried about how long he would have to wait here, but about whether something had happened to his benefactor.
The eldest son, Yageri, is six years old in a few years, and looks exactly like Gesang, with curly hair and big eyes, thick eyebrows, and a somewhat upturned nose. Yageri is very obedient, and every morning when he gets up, he has to write a yard of words, and he doesn't know Gesang. When Gesang returned, Yageri had already written a large piece, and his wife stood in a corner of the courtyard and watched quietly.
Gesang likes this scene very much, because his benefactor is a person who is very literate, and in his impression, there is nothing in the world that his benefactor can't solve. Moreover, his wife Hua Niang was specially given to him by his benefactor, Hua Niang is also a hard-working person, and her family died in the mountain bandits, and she was rescued by the benefactor from the mountain bandits' nest. As for Hua Niang's crime in the mountain bandits' den, Gesang didn't mind at all. He felt that the benefactor was right, and the reason why women were sinned was not because of women, but because men were incapable of protecting women.
His wife is literate, which makes Gesang even happier, when he married Hua Niang, he was looking forward to how beautiful it would be for his children to grow up in the future, and learn to write with his mother, and now it has finally come true.
When Hua Niang saw Gesang enter the courtyard, she hurriedly brought out breakfast and put it on the small table in front of Gesang. Gesang smiled at Hua Niang, and ate it in a big gulp. The smell of the meal attracted two little wolves. The sleepy-eyed Nima and Hassan didn't wash their faces, and reached out to get the buns on the small table, and the flower girl's face immediately darkened, and she pulled one into the room with one hand, and soon there was a howl of ghosts crying wolves. Gesang just smiled and continued to eat his own meal.
Yageri finally wrote all the words in the courtyard, and looked up at Gesang in a conspicuous manner, Gesang laughed and waved at Yageri. Yageri came over with a smile, and was about to reach out to get the steamed bun, when he suddenly found the flower girl standing at the door of the room, and hurriedly accompanied a smiling face to wash his hands.
After tossing for a while, the family sat down to eat together. The small table is actually very large and round. Gesang had seen it once at his benefactor's house that year, and he still can't forget the scene of a large group of people sitting around a large round table to eat, how warm and happy it was, much better than sharing food. So Gesang stubbornly blocked the rules that Hua Niang said, and didn't even leave a little room for Hua Niang. After a long time, Jiuzi Huaniang also let it go.
When the sound came from inside the store, Gesang had just eaten a steamed bun, and the gruel had not yet been drunk. Throwing down the dishes and chopsticks, Gesang trotted into the mutton soup shop in the front yard. The person who came was a young man and a child. The young man is very burly, and he has a knife at his waist, judging from his dress, he should be a native of the Western Regions, but he can't tell that he belongs to that tribe. The child had a big head and a small body, and he could tell that he was hungry, and he couldn't compare with his own three children.
"The guest officer is early, the mutton soup is not ready, and you need to wait another hour!"
The young man nodded, and the child replied, "My master said that he can wait, just wait here!" ”
A silver coin flew into Gesang's hand, Gesang was immediately stunned when he glanced at it, and hurriedly looked up at the young man who threw him the silver coin: "You, how did you do the boots of this boy who crossed the river?" ”
Gesang spoke in Chinese, and Laifu smiled and said, "Who said that the river must have wet boots?" I came by boat. ”
"How is the captain on the ship?"
"The captain is very good, the boat has fallen into the middle of the river, and it is about to dock, I will take a look at the wind direction first, if it is no problem, I will go ashore soon."
"There are already pine cones on the pine trees on the shore, right?"
"It's over, thirty-six in all, ten to the east, ten to the west, ten to the north, and only six to the south!"
The more Gesang spoke, the more excited he became: "Then did this son pick it?" ”
"Naturally, I picked the one to the east."
Gesang's heart had reached his throat, and his legs were trembling. Lang Ri couldn't understand what the two were talking about, and it was rare to see a big river on the Gobi Desert, and he had never met him when he came over. And even if there is a river, there will be no pine trees growing by the river. With a puzzled face, he looked at the shopkeeper of the mutton soup shop and ran over, put the door up in two or two times, and made a gesture of invitation to Laifu.
Laifu said to Lang Ri: "You stay here first, and when I finish my business, we will go back." ”
Lang Ri nodded obediently. Gesang grabbed a large handful of jerky from behind the counter, piled it in front of Lang Ri, touched Lang Ri's head, and took Laifu to the backyard. Hua Niang and the children have already returned to the house, leaving only the words written by Yageri in the yard, the words are Chinese characters, blown by the wind, the dust almost covers the words, only a short time later, the handwriting in the yard is a little unclear.
Gesang took Laifu into a room, which was very clean, but there were no windows or skylights, the door was very small, the room was full of messy things, and there were a pile of bones in the corner, because of the weather, the taste was bearable.
Gesang smiled slightly: "This is the entrance to the underground cave, and only by piling up these things can people hide their eyes." ”
Pulling the flesh and bones open to the floor, Gesang reached out and pulled up the iron ring in the hidden place, and a black hole was immediately revealed in the ground. There are no ladders, and the inside of the cave is dark. The bright light of the fire fold penetrated into the cavern, and it was bottomless. Laifu watched Gesang busy with his work, and when the oil lamp was lit, Gesang grabbed a rope at the entrance of the cave and jumped into the hole first.
The hole in the ground is really deep, three or five feet, and if there is no rope falling at such a height, it will only be slaughtered. Follow Gesang along the tunnel, and after walking for a short time, a large space appeared in front of him. Gesang placed the oil lamp on the small table against the wall, and the hole became bright. The hole is large, and the most striking is the three-mouth willow wood box.
Gesang pointed to Laifu and said: "These are the news of the Western Regions that I have collected in the past five years, and I don't know if I can use it if I can use it if anyone has come to pick it up, if you want to take it away, move it out now." ”
Rifle shook his head: "I'm not here to get these things. ”
Gesang smiled helplessly: "Also, it's useless for a person to come here to ask for these things, let's say, what did Mr. ask you to find me this time?" ”
"Have you seen the Han envoys?"
"Han envoy? I just left Yanqi a month ago, and now it is said that I have arrived in the country of Cheshi. ”
"Is there any progress in the affairs of the Han envoy?"
Gesang sighed: "It's hard to say, but in my opinion, it shouldn't have made much progress, when I was in Yanqi City, I was almost caught by the people of the child servant Duwei, fortunately I escaped a section early, according to Mr.'s instructions, I didn't contact them, Mr. asked you to come to the Han envoy?" ”
"Not exactly! From now on, you will sort out the news about the Han envoy and hand it over to me, and I will pick it up tomorrow morning at this time. ”
"Understood!"
After coming out of the cave, Gesang piled up the flesh and bones again, and it looked no different from when he came in, and then he blew out the oil lamp and Rifle out of the house. The flower girl took the children to play in the courtyard, and nodded slightly when she saw Laifu. Counting the Gesang family and Laifu are also acquaintances, they met a few times when they were in Chengdu. A few children tilted their necks to look at the stranger with curiosity.
Yageri walked to Gesang's side, pulled the corner of Gesang's clothes and looked up at Laifu. Rifle smiled: "You're Yageri, right?" ”
Gesang also smiled: "Yes, I was still in swaddling clothes when I left, and now I am so old." ”
Laifu nodded and said, "Mr. said that you should send Hua Niang and the children back to Han to avoid danger when you get it." ”
Gesang shook his head: "No, it's the most dangerous for me to stay here alone, dragging the family will reassure those people, Mr. has a great kindness to our family, even if it is ......, I Gesang has no complaints, if it weren't for Mr., I would have frozen to death on the grassland back then, Hua Niang doesn't know whether it is a person or a ghost now, it is earned to live for so many years, and it is a gift from God to have children, the only hope of our family is that when Mr. comes, he can raise his head and be a man, even if he lives here for a lifetime, what does it matter?" ”
Laifu arched his hand at Gesang: "Good brother, believe me, it won't be too long!" ”
