Uncle Yan Wen ran all the way to Guide Mansion, told Su Baiyi the news that Luo Rucai was about to attack Guide Mansion, and then followed Su Baiyi's instructions, and went up the Yellow River again, and after landing at the old place, he walked towards the mountain.

When he was still some distance away from his station, he suddenly saw Huang Heng, the leader of the survey team, and he was overjoyed and asked, "Captain Huang, why are you here?" ”

Huang Heng was also very happy to see Uncle Yan Wen, looked around suspiciously, stretched out his hand and pulled Uncle Yan Wen into the mountain in a few circles, and said, "I just went to Xingyang." ”

"What?" Uncle Yan Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing in Xingyang?" It's a thief's territory, and if you are caught, won't it be a bad thing for Mr.? ”

"It's okay, you're too nervous!" Huang Heng said with a smile: "I'm not brainless, naturally I won't run to the city with great fanfare, but just look at him from a distance to see if he Luo Rucai is ready to pull out the camp?" ”

"That'...... Has he pulled out of camp? Uncle Yan Wen asked.

"Not yet!" Huang Heng shook his head, and then pulled Uncle Yan Wen to sit down under an old tree at the foot of the mountain, and said: "Seeing that our first phase of measurement and alignment has ended, it is the time to urge the local government to cooperate with the measurement of the land clearing project site. ”

"We're not going to find anyone when he's gone!" Uncle Yan Wen sighed, and lay on the grass with his head up: "I'm so tired, I'll go later." However, if you really want to do it, you can hire local people to complete it, the key is that after the site is cleared, what should you do? To complete the subgrade earthwork project, it requires a large amount of manpower, where do we go to get people? ”

"This ......" Huang Heng held a grass stalk in his mouth, and lay on the ground like Uncle Yan Wen, and said: "Sir's previous plan was to recruit refugees for work, but this homeless person has no fixed residence, and he has been taken under the command of those grass kings, how can it be so easy to recruit?" But we don't need to worry about it, and it's useless for us to worry about it. ”

"Yes, this is something that needs to be done." Uncle Yan Wen closed his eyes, rested for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes: "No matter what happens in the future, let's do our current work well, let's go, we can't delay, the sooner the better." ”

"Let's go!"

The two of them got up from the grass and walked down the hillside together, and before they had gone far, they suddenly saw a horse not far away.

Uncle Yan Wen's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Huang Heng.

Horses, that's critical!

If you have a horse, you will definitely save a lot of work, and you don't have to sleep in the mountains at night.

But the group had no money, but it was not easy to buy horses.

Because the imperial court has been fighting abroad for many years, the people are allowed to raise horses but the people are not allowed to sell them privately, except for a few official families, the common people all use cattle, where can they use horses?

But now, there is a horse not far away, and if it can be bought, then ......

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

Uncle Yan Wen said a word, but the two of them stepped up, and after a while, they caught up with the horse out of breath, Huang Heng waved his hands and shouted, "Little brother in front, please wait a minute!" ”

In front of him was the wood and the godmother he had just recognized.

Qingye saw that there was someone chasing after him, his heart was tight, and he hurriedly climbed on the horse and said, "Wood, go quickly!" ”

But he could only sit one person right away, and the wood had to lead the horse, so he couldn't get away in the mountains anyway, and he was caught up by Uncle Yan Wen and Huang Heng behind him in less than three minutes.

Qing Ye was nervous for a while, and Mu was even more nervous than her, but fortunately, he was finally an honest man, blocking behind the horse's ass to stop Uncle Yan Wen and Huang Heng, and said, "You, you, what are you going to do?" ”

"We're going to buy your horses, don't you think it's convenient?" Uncle Yan Wen gasped and bent down.

Huang Heng hurriedly kept the wood, as if he was afraid that he would get lost.

"No, it won't!" Mu said: "My mother's body is inconvenient, this horse can't be sold to you." ”

"Huh?" Uncle Yan Wen's face showed a hint of disappointment, looked at the old woman riding on the horse, and couldn't grab it, so he smiled wryly.

Huang Heng asked: "Where do you live, if it's close to us, you don't need to buy it, we can rent it when we have something." ”

"Yes, yes, where do you live?" Uncle Yan Wen asked.

"Me, me, our family!" Mu turned around blankly and asked Qingye, "Mother, where do we live?" ”

Uncle Yan Wen laughed out loud, and Huang Heng also said: This big man is a solid eye?

Qingye turned his head helplessly, and then laboriously got off the horse.

When Uncle Yan Wen and Huang Heng saw her appearance, they were stunned for a moment.

Why does an ugly woman of such age have such a big belly? Is it pregnant or a strange disease?

But out of politeness, I didn't ask much.

Qing Ye was vigilant, but he didn't immediately answer Uncle Yan Wen's question, but just asked very carefully: "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

Uncle Yan Wen was originally from other places, but his heart suddenly became empty, touched his nose, and said with a smile: "This lady, don't get me wrong, we are not bad people, we are building railways, and the railway is about to open in this mountain, haven't you heard?" ”

There are more than ten people in the surveying team, and they walk around the mountains every day with instruments, and the people near and far know that they are building railways, and the surveying team gets along very well with the local people, so Uncle Yan Wen thinks that the old woman should know them after he reports his home.

But Qingye really didn't know it, and asked with wide eyes: "Railway, what railway?" ”

Now it was Huang Heng's turn to smile bitterly: "This lady, it seems that you are not a local either, we are really not bad people, everyone in the neighborhood knows each other, running in the mountains all day long, sometimes it is inconvenient, you make a price and sell the horses to me, we will not force you to buy and sell, and we will not let your mother and son suffer!" ”

"Are you really building railroads?" Qingye still avoided the question and did not answer.

Huang Heng smiled, groped his hand into his sleeve a few times, took out something similar to Lu Yin, handed it to Qing Ye and said, "Old man, this is our identity certificate, you see, there is a red stamp from the official mansion here?" ”

He thought that an old woman in the night must be illiterate, so he pointed to the red stamp of "Railway Governor's Yamen" to show him.

The moment Qingye saw the paper, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he snatched the official defense in his hand, and then looked at the white paper and black letters written clearly on it, not only the words issued by the railway governor's yamen, but also where it came from? Where to go? Why?

When he saw the three words of Guide, his heart was shocked, and he raised his head and asked tremblingly: "You two, are you from Guide?" ”

"yes!" Huang Heng said in surprise: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turns out that the eldest lady ...... Oh no, the old lady is literate. ”

"Are you really from the Defu Mansion?" Qingye excitedly grabbed Huang Heng's shoulders and shook them vigorously.

"yes!" Huang Heng smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

"Then ......" Qingye took a deep breath: "Do you know Mr. Su Baiyi Su of Guide Mansion?" ”

"Ah......" At this time, Huang Heng and Uncle Yan Wen were shocked, and the two of them almost jumped up, and said in unison in surprise: "Do you know our husband?" ”

"Your home? Mr? Qingye thought that with Su Baiyi's fame, since these two people were from Guide Mansion, they would definitely know about Su Baiyi, but they never expected that these two people would be Su Baiyi's disciples!

"Yes, doesn't the old lady also know my husband?" Huang Heng asked in surprise.

"Ha, haha......" Qingye laughed and cried, suddenly took a deep breath, and cried loudly, and said, "I can finally see you, I can finally see you." ”

She is a weak willow woman, she has never been far away, and she has never suffered from such a long time of bumps, she is working outside with her child, and she has almost died in the mountains and forests several times.

"Husband, ma'am!" Uncle Yan Wen and Huang Heng called her in a low voice.

Qingye whimpered for a while, and then gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, and choked up: "Let the two of you laugh, in fact, the old man is also surnamed Su, and your husband is the same family. ”

With Qing Ye's shrewdness, even if he confirmed that the person in front of him was Su Baiyi's disciple, he would not easily reveal his identity.

"So coincidentally?" Uncle Yan Wen asked, "Then you are our husband's ......"

"Sort of...... Sister! Qing Ye wiped away her tears at this time and thought for a while before answering.

Saying this, Uncle Yan Wen and Huang Heng glanced at each other, and then they both tidied up their appearance, and saluted very respectfully.

"Student Huang Heng has seen his predecessors!"

"Uncle Yan Wen, a student, has seen Uncle Shi!"

The old woman in front of her turned out to be the sister of the gentleman, so she must have to salute, but this title is quite difficult. It was because the two of them didn't discuss, and they shouted out a little nondescript.

Qingye didn't care, his radiant eyes showed a gleam, and he looked at the two of them: "If it is convenient for the two of you, can you send my mother and son back to the German Mansion." ”

Uncle Yan Wen smiled bitterly: This sister has just returned from Guide Mansion and has not yet arrived at the station, is it going to be hard again?

Qingye saw that they seemed to be embarrassed, and said, "If you are willing, I will give you both this horse, and I will let your husband thank you again when I turn back." ”

Huang Heng looked at Qingye's belly, and then at Uncle Yan Wen, who had a wry smile on his face, and said helplessly: "This matter can't be delayed, Uncle Wen, then I will work hard for you again." ”

"Then ......" Uncle Yan Wen scratched his head in distress: "Then let's go, take a boat back from the Yellow River." ”

"I can't leave yet!" Qingye instantly calmed down and said: "Now Xingyang is still mobilizing, tomorrow the fifth watch will be out of the camp, and I escaped from their camp again, we had better wait until it gets dark before getting on the boat." ”
