Chapter 7: Wandering and helplessness
"Hey! Wake up, wake up! This is not a place to sleep! ”
In a daze, a voice sounded in Han Yan's ears, constantly urging him to get up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Huh? Yes~~~! Who is this? ”
Han Yan, who was woken up from his sleep, opened his eyes, yawned, and then asked casually.
"I'm the city official in this gold market, this is not the place for you to sleep, boy, hurry up and don't disturb the order of the gold market!"
At this time, a middle-aged man standing in front of Han Yan kept urging.
The middle-aged man has sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a lion nose and a wide mouth, is nearly eight feet tall, and has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looking very vicious, and from his words, this person should also have an official position, but I don't know what the specific position is.
"Huh? City officials? What is that? Where is this? ”
Han Yan, who had just woken up, asked subconsciously because he didn't know where he was, let alone what a 'city official' was.
"This is the gold market in Luoyang City, and I am the city official who maintains order in this gold market, boy, this market is about to open soon, you better hurry up!"
Although it looks very vicious, it is unusually easy to speak.
"Huh? Gold market? How did I end up here? ”
The exhaustion of the night made Han Yan completely forget why he was here, and Han Yan was a little confused for a while.
"Look at your appearance, I'm afraid that you are also sick and fell on the side of the road, but fortunately, the brother who worked on the night guard gave you a fur coat, otherwise, according to the current weather, you would have frozen to death."
The city official pursed his lips and said with some disapproval, but the greed that appeared in his eyes betrayed his heart.
"Huh? Fur? ”
Hearing what the city official said, Han Yan realized that he was actually covered with an overcoat, which looked like it was made of animal fur, which was very warm.
Han Yan held the robe in his hand, slowly stood up from the ground, and glanced around. Looking up, Han Yan only felt that it was the guise of a restaurant or something, and as for the pedestrians, it was because the market had not yet opened, and no one came at this time.
"This ...... I came to Luoyang City yesterday to ...... In order to ......"
Han Yan shook his head, and then slowly recalled what he was going to do yesterday, and suddenly, Han Yan's eyes widened.
Broken! Yesterday I came to Luoyang City to buy medicine and food, and I didn't go back all night, I really didn't dare to think about what would happen to my father, a seriously ill person lying in a farmhouse in a deserted village, how to think and think that something was going to happen!
"This ...... I still hope that the city official will help me return it to the watchman, I still have important matters, I can't come to the door to thank you in person, and I will definitely come to make amends another day. ”
As he spoke, Han Yan stuffed his coat into the city official's hand, and then ran towards the south without looking back.
Although he didn't know where this gold market was in Luoyang City, Han Yan clearly remembered that he entered the city gate from the south yesterday, which meant that if he wanted to go out, he just had to go south.
Han Yan didn't know that speaking of this gold market, it was actually a place close to the North Palace of Luoyang, located in the west of Luoyang City, where most of the merchants traded here, which was a very lively place.
However, at this time, Han Yan was not interested in understanding, what he needed to do now was not to get to know Luoyang City well, but to hurry back to that village, because somehow, Han Yan had a sense of foreboding since he woke up, as if something sad had happened.
Of course, Han Yan didn't forget to take those food back on the way. There are also many places to sell food in the gold market, and some merchants got up early to make some steamed cakes, and just took them out and turned around to go back to the house to get other things, Han Yan took two steamed cakes here and left.
Although he was embarrassed in his heart, Han Yan was in no mood to feel guilty now, he just made a note of this store in his heart, and he would come back to repay it when he had money in the future!
It was difficult to walk along the road of the gold market, and it didn't take long to come to the city gate that came in yesterday, but I don't know if the people who are guarding the gate today are not the same people as yesterday, if not, then it is easy to say, but if it is still that group of people, then Han Yan will definitely not be able to use the method of entering the city yesterday to get out of the city.
When Han Yan was in a dilemma, he only heard a shout from behind, Han Yan heard the voice and looked back, and saw a group of people shouting towards the city gate, and his mind turned sharply, and Han Yan stepped aside.
When the gang arrived at the city gate, Han Yan flashed out from the side of the road and followed silently.
Obviously, these people are not good people, although they are not high-ranking yamen, but they should also be ruffians in the area of Luoyang City. The men greeted the soldiers guarding the city, and then swaggered past the city gates.
Following behind these people, Han Yan naturally did not receive any hindrance, and in this way, Han Yan mixed out of Luoyang City again. It's not that these city defenders don't check carefully, it's that they are too familiar with these people, and they know the image of these people in the eyes of the local people, and they think about where someone will sneak into this gang in order to escape a few big money in the city gate tax.
Out of Luoyang City, Han Yan walked behind the group of people in a hurry, and then hurried towards the direction where the village was located.
By the time Han Yan arrived at the village, the ominous premonition in his heart was getting heavier and heavier, as if something had already happened. Although he didn't know what it was, this feeling of being helpless was bothering Han Yan, shaking his head, and Han Yan walked quickly to the cottage yesterday.
"Daddy! I'm back with bread! ”
Han Yan naturally didn't know the steamed cake in his hand, but he could guess the shape of it, so as soon as he entered the door, he took out the steamed cake in his arms and shook it like a merit.
"Daddy! Get up and eat! ”
Han Yan walked quickly to the edge of the bed, handed the steamed cake in his right hand to his left hand, and then sat on the edge of the bed, gently shaking Han Wen with his hand.
It's just that it's okay if you don't touch it, Han Yan only felt that Han Wen's body was cold when he touched Han Wen's body. The smile on Han Yan's face also froze at this moment.
"Daddy? Father! Wake up! Get up and eat! ”
Han Yan finally understood why he had that ominous premonition all along, but Han Yan still didn't believe it in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and slowly probed Han Wen's face.
When Han Yan's hand rubbed under Han Wen's nose and didn't feel the breath, Han Yan was really stunned, and the steamed cake in his left hand fell to the ground with a 'pop', splashing a burst of dust.
"Daddy! Don't scare me! Father! Wake up! ”
Han Yan was really scared, because he didn't know why, he only felt that this scene was familiar.
The same concern, the same madness, the same unacceptable.
Han Yan didn't remember everything that had happened, and he didn't have any memories because he shouted 'Dad' a few times, but Han Wen was the only person Han Yan knew after he woke up. Therefore, even if Han Yan couldn't be sure that he was really his father, but he had taken care of himself for so long because Han Wen had taken care of him, Han Yan shouted willingly.
Han Wen's death at this time was a huge blow to Han Yan. This blow is not only emotional, but also for Han Yan himself. Because, Han Yan didn't know what to do next.
Han Yan didn't know everything he had done at all, he didn't know what the past was, so he naturally couldn't figure out what to do in the future. At this moment, Han Yan, in addition to grieving Han Wen's death, is even more at a loss for the future.
But soon, Han Yan recovered from the state of losing his soul, and it will be good in the future, after all, the future is the future, and it is superfluous to think more before he comes, and now there is a problem in front of Han Yan - how to funeral Han Wen?
It stands to reason that even if it wasn't a grand funeral, Han Yan should have prepared such a thin coffin for his father, but Han Yan had no money at all, and even the two steamed cakes that fell on the ground were stolen by Han Yan from others, and now if Han Wen is buried, there is no need to think about it without a few thousand dollars, after all, a steamed cake costs two dollars, even if it is a thin coffin, it will cost a thousand steamed cakes.
Not to mention the matter of dignity and honor, Han Yan can still steal it when he is hungry, but this coffin is impossible, as for making a coffin himself? This idea doesn't need to be thought about at all, it won't work at all, otherwise, would it be impossible for Han Yan to cut down trees with his hands?
Everything, Han Yan really has no choice now, and for a while, Han Yan fell silent.
I don't know how long it took, in short, it was the middle of the day, and Han Yan woke up from his contemplation, but at this time, Han Yan's face was calm and a little scary.
There was no way to find any way, and Han Yan had only one last way left - to sell himself.
Looking at Han Wen lying on the bed, Han Yan's heart was sad and joyless.
"I don't know if you're my father or not, but you've been treating me like a son since I woke up, so what can't I do for you? Haha, haha! ”
As Han Yan spoke, he suddenly laughed, but in this smile, there was a little more helplessness and a bit of desolation.
