The cold wind of the bayonet seems to be a little colder than the wind of Hehuang, every step in this ice and snow day is very difficult for Qian Fakui, and the foot-deep snow drags down his steps, and every few steps, he will look at his son next to him, and force himself to squeeze out some laughter.
"Lei Lei, you don't know, Jiangnan is a good place, when you get there, there will be endless white rice poured everywhere, when the time comes, our grandfather will no longer have to starve, your mother ......"
After only half of the words, Qian Fakui stopped the conversation, thinking of the mother-in-law who starved to death halfway, his eyes were red, the mother-in-law had never enjoyed a day of happiness since she married him, the place was dry every year, since he could remember, he had never eaten a full meal, after marrying the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law was a person who knew hot and cold, always thinking about saving a mouthful of food for him to eat, and then thinking about saving food for their grandfather, that is, on the way to escape the famine, it was also like this, people just came out of Shaanxi, and they didn't survive in one breath, and they were hungry......
"Big, my mother is buried under the big locust tree on the western slope of Tongguan, I remember, wait for the future...... As long as I have a breath, I will go to see my mother's ......."
Although he was young, Qian Lei guessed his father's thoughts from the sadness on his face.
"Lei Lei, if there is a day when the big one is gone, you will burn the big one, bring it over, and accompany your mother, your mother has never had a good life in her life since she married to the Qian family, no matter how bad we are, we can't let your mother float ......there as a lonely ghost."
Qian Fakui said that the tears in his eyes rolled down after all, but he didn't dare to cry, because his mother-in-law said when she was dying, she wanted him to Lei Lei up, and her mother-in-law had never enjoyed happiness in her life, and she couldn't let her mother-in-law close her eyes.
"Lei Lei, are you hungry? There is also half a mixed bread bun for the ......."
Handing half of the mixed noodles steamed bun with body temperature in his arms to his son, Qian Fakui couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this was coming yesterday, when the two of them were half a piece, he only ate a few bites of this half and kept it.
"Big, you're like this again, you don't eat again, just in case...... What am I going to do alone? ”
Qian Lei didn't even look at the steamed bun, so he ran to the front, for fear that one of them couldn't help but eat the steamed bun.
"You bastard, what are you talking about......"
The words just fell, looking ahead, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, Qian Fakui's heart was tightened, and he hurriedly ran forward, and when the horses approached, he saw the clothes of the riders on horseback, and saw that they were wearing dogskin jackets, and he hurriedly followed his son to kneel there.
"Big, big king, small, villain, it's poor and begging for food, no, it's not worth it, you spend a lot of money, you ...... a knife"
Squeaked and said, Qian Fakui pressed his son stiffly, for fear that his son would annoy the other party, and then "spend" the other party's knife edge. Along the way, he can often encounter this kind of thing, as long as he accompanies a few good words, the other party will naturally not be difficult for them to ask for food.
"Hey, what are you talking about, look at this dress!"
When Yu Xiaobao, who was riding on horseback, heard this, he was immediately unhappy, no matter how he was a suave person, although he was not a talent, he would not look like a bandit. Then he exposed the waist-high dogskin jacket to reveal its coat.
"Although he doesn't look like a scholar, he doesn't look like a bandit!"
It doesn't matter if he doesn't say it, as soon as he said this, several people around him immediately held back laughter, but no, although he is now wearing a human dog and a number coat, but the fat on that face doesn't look like a reader, plus the body shape is five big and three thick, it looks a bit like a butcher.
Scholar?
It's really a shame that he can speak, is there a scholar like him?
Others could hold back their laughter, but Qian Fakui didn't dare, he raised his head and looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, he found that this person was dressed a little like an official soldier, so he tried to ask.
"Master, is it a military master?"
Seeing that the other party was actually an official soldier, if he said that he was afraid before, he would really be trembling.
"Hey, you kid finally has a little bit of eyesight, come on, I'll tell you the truth, I'm an official soldier, look at your kid scared, how can you hear that you are a soldier, more afraid than touching bandits......"
Can you not be afraid, bandits are for money, and they may not embarrass the poor, but the officials and soldiers ...... Sometimes they are more ruthless than bandits, they can't afford to provoke nobles, so naturally they are dedicated to making things difficult for the poor, and they never treat the poor as individuals......
"Jun, Jun Ye, look, look at what you said, Xiao, villain that dare, Jun, Jun Master, don't make fun of the villain......"
Looking at this frightened beggar who couldn't even speak, Yu Xiaobao not only didn't have any smugness, but thought of his father, and thought of his father's pleading appearance when the yamen officials came to urge taxes, and his heart suddenly softened, and there was still the slightest hint of showmanship, not to mention, he was not an official in the first place, but he was just temporarily pretending, just like pretending to be the Taiping Army a few days ago, all in accordance with the owner's idea.
"Yes, this master will be kind and don't tease you......"
As he spoke, looking at the dishes on the faces of the two of them, and then looking at the appearance that seemed to be about to freeze to death, Yu Xiaobao took out a few fist-sized pieces of bacon from the bag by the saddle and threw them to the ground with a few copper coins.
"Look at the two of you frozen, other people are not starving to death, they are freezing to death, and when the time comes, let outsiders bury our people by the river......"
Throwing away the food and even untying the quilt behind the saddle, Yu Xiaobao raised the horsewhip and whipped off the horse and left, leaving only Qian Fakui, who had not yet come back to his senses.
"Great, what's going on?"
Qian Lei also couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, is this still one of those officials who take pleasure in bullying the poor?
"This, this ......"
Looking at the salted meat and quilt on the ground, Qian Fakui muttered for a while.
"Good people, let's, we have met good people......
On this winter day, a few pieces of meat, a quilt, and dozens of dollars, that is the thing of life, Qian Fakui, who received the grace of life, naturally kowtowed in the direction of the rider's departure, thanking the unknown benefactor.
"Big, this, this Jiangnan person, but, really generous!"
A few hours later, when the two came to Huangzhou, at the bridgehead to Huangzhou, they were once again stopped by the officials and soldiers, but this time they stopped the officials and soldiers again, but this time they stopped the officials and soldiers like bandits more than the officials and soldiers.
"Whoever asks for food, who asks for food will bring such a new quilt and so many pieces of meat, looking at you, you look like a spy of the Qing Demon!"
Li Erhu shouted, picking up the quilt on the ground with a knife, and as for the pieces of salted meat that could survive in Qian Fakui's eyes, they would also be thrown to the ground.
"Jun, military master, small, small really, really escaped from the river god......"
Heart-wrenching looking at the mud-stained meat in the snow water, Qian Fakui knelt there, constantly crying out for himself, this would make him dare to heartache this meat, and it was the most important thing to keep it now.
"You're really asking for food?"
After asking, Li Erhu looked at the two beggars again, this dress is a little interesting, but the meat and quilt can't be said.
"Come, boy, tell me, where did this meat and quilt come from, if you can't tell me why, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless! If you say it, you'll be given everything back......"
was frightened by Li Erhu like this, Qian Lei, who was only a teenager, immediately said it all out of 1510, listening to his son like a bamboo tube pouring beans, Qian Fakui could only do it in a hurry, and stopped his son several times, but he didn't dare to speak out, so he could only rely on the sin with his benefactor secretly in his heart.
"Officers and soldiers, you mean that you have met officers and soldiers on the road!"
Li Erhu grabbed Qian Lei and asked nervously.
"And now, where did those officers and soldiers go?"
For Li Erhu, he doesn't care whether the quilt and meat were stolen or robbed by the two of them, what he cares about is where the officers and soldiers are, whether they will knock on the door, and of course, more importantly, the eldest brother asked him to stay here, and there is also a task to listen to the news of the officers and soldiers......
