Chapter 32: Guan Zhuang
In an inconspicuous place outside Chao County, Wu Long squatted in a bush with ten branch soldiers, and his heart couldn't help but tighten when he saw the Yellow Turban camp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info thought of Wu Hao, who was young at this moment of crisis, and dared to use his sword to make himself and others turn around, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. subconsciously sighed to the people around him: "Sure enough, as Childe said, I am grateful to wait for the timely help, otherwise I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable."
The ten branch soldiers nodded their heads and whispered around them.
"I often hear people say that the son is stubborn by nature, and I ask if he is the son of another family, if he dares to use the sword in such a crisis."
"In this way, those rumors are all falsehoods."
Now think about the words of the son, if the family is punished, he will bear it. It's really a lot of courage, and it's not bad for me to swear to follow such a person."
Wu Long listened to these discussions, recalled the scene in Chaohu just now, and felt a little moved in his heart.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and Zhong Qiu appeared in front of him with the two of them. At first, he was ordered by Wu Long to investigate the situation in Chaohu Lake to prevent the bandits from sneaking up. Later, when he returned, he found that Wu Long and the others had already left. Fortunately, there was a code along the way, and this followed.
I just wanted to ask, but I saw Wu Long pointing forward. Zhong Qiu couldn't help but be taken aback, and then looked at Wu Long and the others: "Where did the yellow turban come from?"
"Childe speculates that this yellow scarf should have come from the nest detour." Wu Long explained to Zhong Qiu in a low voice.
Zhong Qiu pondered slightly, and then Zou frowned: "Childe?".
"After I ordered you to investigate Chaohu, the son and the younger brother came together, and the yellow scarf attacked. So we left a code and went back first. Calculating the time, Childe and the others should be about to arrive in Guanzhuang." Wu Long explained to Zhong Qiu, while staring at the Yellow Turban Camp in front of him.
Zhong Qiu was about to speak, when he saw a sudden sound from the Yellow Turban Camp in front of him. A team of 100 pounced in one direction. After a little consideration, they found that they were heading to Guanzhuang.
Wu Long looked at the scene in front of him, thinking of Wu Hao's remarks, and couldn't help but sneer at the corners of his mouth. He gave Zhong Qiu and the others a look, and then ordered: "Leave immediately, quickly go to Guanzhuang to meet Gongzi, and leave one person to pay close attention to the whereabouts of the yellow scarf."
"No". Everyone had a premonition that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly replied in a low voice.
……
Guanzhuang is one of the seven villages under Chao County, 50 years ago this place was the gathering place of the Guan family, and later became the industry of the Wu family in Chao County, Lujiang because of the family road. At that time, the head of the Wu family did not change the name of this place, so it has been used to this day.
Before the Yellow Turban outbreak, there were 600 households and a population of nearly 2,000. After the Yellow Turbans plundered, the population decreased sharply, and a large number of young and strong people died in the army. Up to now, there are only 300 households of old, weak, women and children, with a total population of less than 1,000 and less than 200 young and strong. Half of them entered the county government, and half of them entered the Wu family. As for the village, there are only a dozen branch soldiers guarding it. But last night, on the orders of the head of the family, under the leadership of Wu Long, rushed to the aid of the Marquis of Hefei.
The village was quiet, with curling green smoke rising and the smell of rice wafting to the nostrils. Chao County has fertile water and soil, and it is blessed by the Xinde County Government and the Wu family. In the past two years, away from the suffering of soldiers, coupled with the bumper harvest here last year, it has a bit of a paradise charm here.
On an inconspicuous hill at the entrance of the village, a seven or eight-year-old child was digging a bird's nest in a tree.
A five- or six-year-old child under the tree hurriedly ran to the tree and shouted, "Brother and aunt are calling you to eat."
"Wait". The child in the tree replied impatiently, and quickly stretched out his hand to the bird's nest.
The child under the tree looked at the child in the tree, his eyes were full of envy, and he didn't know when he would learn to climb the tree: "Auntie said, if you go back late, she will spank you later."
"You're not bothered." The child in the tree grabbed the young bird in the nest and glared at his brother under the tree with an unhappy face.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a snake on the tree, and the child's heart tightened, and his hand subconsciously loosened, and he immediately fell from the tree.
The child under the tree turned pale with fright when he saw this thrilling scene. A figure came running quickly, and the moment the child hit the ground, he would catch it steadily.
Immediately after that, dozens of branch soldiers walked quickly, and then two sharp arrows flew towards the tree, and the snake was instantly killed and fell to the ground.
Wu Hao put the child on the ground and asked him softly: "What is your name, you are so naughty at a young age, if you accidentally break your leg, won't your parents be sad to death."
"Mother, I know, but what is father? Big brother, can you tell me, what exactly is a father? Are fathers and uncles the same people? But why do people always like to talk about father and mother together?" The child watched Wu Hao forget the fear brought by the yellow scarf for a while, and his eyes widened to ask the question that had been circling in his heart for a long time. At the same time, the other half of the younger children also showed the same gaze.
Wu Hao looked at the two children in front of him for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Don't you have a father?"
"Guan Ren and Guan Yi must not be rude, this is the third son of the Wu family, don't hurry up to see you." A branch soldier apparently knew the two children and reprimanded them.
The two children were reprimanded by this and were so frightened that they didn't know how to reply. Wu Hao glanced at the soldier unhappily, and softly admonished: "Don't listen to him, I'm just your big brother."
"Big brother, my mother, said that my brother and I had died a long time ago, but what is death? After all these years, I have long forgotten my father's appearance. Big brother, do you know my father and my brother's father? Can you tell me what he looks like". Guan Ren saw that Wu Hao had a sense of intimacy and asked him.
Guan Yi heard his father's words, and he couldn't hold back his sorrow at a young age, and tears kept dripping down like beads with broken threads. If it weren't for the fact that there are so many people here, I'm afraid I would have cried out a long time ago.
Dozens of branch soldiers couldn't help but feel sour when they saw this scene, thinking that their wives and children had all kinds of flavors.
Wu Hao wiped away the tears on Guan Yi's face with his own hands, and explained to them with a smile: "Death? To die is to go far, far away, until you grow up to be able to find it."
"Does that mean we'll be able to find our father when we grow up?" Guan Yi followed Wu Hao's words and asked, his eyes full of anticipation.
Wu Hao nodded slightly, he thought that the war was very cruel, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel. Maybe I've done something wrong all these years, and I shouldn't be so lazy. As the son of the Wu family, he may be able to do something for them.
Guan Yi seemed to be greatly encouraged, looked at Guan Ren and asked him loudly: "Big brother said that he can find his father when he grows up, brother, let's grow up together, and when we grow up, let's go to find our father together."
"Okay, I'll go to my father with my brother and I." Guan Ren nodded affirmatively, and Guan Yi pulled the hook to guarantee.
