Chapter 5 The Son and Nephew of the Deceased
In the shack, the boy had slowly woken up and was gulping down rice porridge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
“…… Another rice bucket! ”
With a pout, Han Yan turned his head to look at Huang Zhong beside him.
"This ...... Xiang Yi also followed the hunt. ”
Huang Zhong also understood who Han Yan said about the last 'rice bucket', so he was very weak to argue.
The young man who was sitting on the ground drinking porridge suddenly turned red after hearing the words of Han Yan and Huang Zhong. Putting the porridge bowl on the ground on the side, the young man stood up, blushed and said, "I will receive a meal from Your Excellency, and I will repay it with a spring in the future!" ”
"Whether you report it or not is a matter of the future, you sit down first and then eat." After calming the young man, Han Yan sat down beside the young man, "Where are you from?" How could you be hungry like this? ”
At the mention of this, tears glistened in the young man's eyes.
The boy's real name is Cao Xiu, and he still has something to do with Han Yan, because his father is Cao Hong's brother and Cao Cao's younger brother. In other words, this child is Cao Cao's clan!
"No, you're from your brother's family, how did you end up here?"
Touching his chin, Han Yan was a little puzzled.
"That...... The world was not peaceful before, and the clansmen left their hometowns. I left my hometown with my father and mother, and when I was just ten years old, my father died, and I was buried by a doorman, and then I crossed the river with my mother to take refuge in Wu County, and then ...... My mother also passed away......"
The more detailed the explanation, the more depressed Cao Xiu's expression became.
"That'...... Do you want to return to your hometown? ”
Seeing Cao Xiu's appearance, Han Yan was also a little unbearable, thinking about the death of his relatives, he was also very sad, let alone such a child who knew that he was not yet mature?
"Hmm!" Speaking of his purpose, Cao Xiu finally had some energy, nodded, and Cao Xiu recalled, "I heard that someone in my clan had become a big official in Luoyang, and it just so happened that I had nowhere to go, so I wanted to go to them." ”
"Luoyang Zhong became a big official? Then it's just my brother, right? There are not too many others surnamed Cao in Luoyang. But...... Did you come alone from Kure? ”
Wu County, in fact, is within the scope of Yangzhou, and it is probably near Hangzhou in the later generations, where did a person come from, this can't help but surprise Han Yan.
"Yes! I'm coming from Kure alone. Cao Xiu nodded, agreed with Han Yan's statement, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Listen to what you mean, do you know my uncle?" ”
"What a horse!"
Looking at Cao Xiu's immature face, Han Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, look at people, you can travel thousands of miles at such a young age, it's amazing! I can really run!
"You've won a prize!" Cao Xiu blushed for a moment, and then asked again, "Do you know my uncle?" ”
"Uncle? Yes? Yes! It's Brother Mengde! I do know him well and have a great friendship. ”
Thinking back to the years when I met Cao Cao, although I haven't moved around too often in the past two years, my friendship is still quite deep.
"That'...... Can you tell me how I can find that uncle of mine? ”
Hearing Han Yan's admission, Cao Xiu immediately became excited and shouted loudly.
"This ...... Something happened in Luoyang City, and your uncle is probably no longer in Luoyang. ”
Han Yan was a little hesitant, isn't this kind of thing too much to tell a hopeful child?
"How so?" Cao Xiu was confused, his eyes were blank, and he said, "How should this be?" ”
"Hmmm! In this way, anyway, you are already in this Jizhou now, and you don't know where to go, so you might as well follow me first. When the situation improves in the future, you can set out to find your uncle and my brother, shall that be good?" ”
Rubbing his chin, Han Yan felt that he had the responsibility to help Cao Xiu, after all, this was an old family, even if it was a rice bucket, he couldn't just throw it away!
"Good is good, but ......"
Hearing Han Yan's proposal, Cao Xiu was a little moved, but he was a little hesitant.
"Huh? But what? You have any concerns, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Seeing Cao Xiu's undisguised hesitation, Han Yan immediately patted his chest and casually promised.
"It's not that there are any concerns, it's just ...... This seems to be near Mount Tai, not Jizhou! ”
Cao Xiu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Huh? Tarzan? Where is that? ”
For no matter how much geographical knowledge he had, Han Yan didn't quite understand, so he could only turn his head to look at Huang Zhong on the side and ask for help.
"This ...... If you return to Gongzi, Taishan is located in Taishan County and belongs to ...... Yanzhou. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Huang Zhong explained with a bitter face.
"Yanzhou? So we're on the wrong track? ”
After thinking about it carefully, Han Yan probably had some impressions.
Yanzhou is due east of Sili, directly south of Jizhou, and further east is Qingzhou.
"Probably...... Right? ”
Considering that saying it directly would hurt Gongzi's face, Huang Zhong used a questioning tone.
"Really? Gone wrong again? So where do we go from here? "Think about it carefully, there is really no one around Han Yan who knows the way, think about it, the last hope is still on Cao Xiu in front of him, "That...... Virtuous nephew! Since you know that this place is Taishan County, then you must know how to get to Jizhou, right? ”
"Jizhou? I don't know! ”
Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Xiu replied very naturally.
“…… All right! You go on eating! Since Cao Xiu didn't know, then Han Yan was not interested in asking more, and ordered his subordinates to take care of him, Han Yan waved his hand to Huang Zhong on the side, "Han Sheng, follow me." ”
Out of the shack, Han Yan stopped.
"Childe, do you have something you want me to do?"
After following Han Yan for a long time, Huang Zhong knew that he had his own affairs when he was called out.
"That...... You go out and ask someone to see where Taishan County is, and then ask how to get to Jizhou. ”
Glancing around, Han Yan lowered his voice and commanded carefully.
"Looking for someone? Why didn't Childe find the old man who stayed here? He should know, right? ”
It is naturally the easiest thing to ask someone, and Huang Zhong understands this.
"The old man?" After reciting it in his mouth, Han Yan's eyes appeared in front of the old man who had explained to him what had happened in Luoyang for more than a month, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness, "That old man is not simple!" ”
