Chapter Ninety-Six: Bittersweet Remembrance
"Gelding?" Ding Sheng looked at Sun Yuan who was squatting on the ground suspiciously.
Sun Yuan was shocked in his heart, knowing that Shi Daxiang had leaked his mouth, which had aroused Ding Sheng's vigilance. However, time is pressing, and it is necessary to ask the whereabouts of the seal of the household department from the mouth of the chief historian as soon as possible, and some means must be used when necessary. The best way is to torture, but as a modern person, it is impossible to overcome the barrier of inhumane methods to make one's own psychology. Then, there is only one other way. The problem is that other methods are too time-consuming, and there is Ding Sheng staring at him.
Ding Sheng has been in the peasant army for several years, and he has been accustomed to seeing human blood over the years, so he naturally has a trace of violence on his body, and he takes human life very lightly. If Fei Hong and the others launch over there, this kid will definitely not hesitate to knife himself.
Right...... Violent ...... Don't take human life seriously...... Sun Yuan's heart moved, it seems that there is no way to lure Ding Sheng away in this matter today, this kid already has doubts about himself, and he can be said to be inseparable from my Sun Yuan. Then, I can only find a way to make him lower his murderous aura, which is also a helpless way.
Sun Yuan took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself down, smiled and turned back, and did not explain, but said: "Xiao Ding, you are also my own soldier." I vaguely heard you say last night, you are from Yan'an, Shaanxi, that place is a military town, are you a civilian household or a military household, and are there other people in the family? ”
Ding Sheng was stunned, he didn't expect Sun Yuan to start a family routine with him at this time: "Military household, there are brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and old women at home." ”
Hearing him reply that it was a military household, Sun Yuan was secretly happy, and said in his heart: It's good to be a military household, if it's a farmer, I really can't do it.
He said: "It turned out to be a military household, although Shaanxi has suffered a disaster, Yansui is a big military town, and the imperial court has to allocate a large amount of money every year." Moreover, your military household is attached to the guard, and it can be said that it is the private property of the officers of the guard, so even if the disaster is serious, you won't be unable to afford to eat, right? ”
Ding Sheng suddenly had a trace of sadness on his face: "What the master said is true, although we military households, although life is difficult, no matter how hard the days are, there is always a mouthful of food." Especially for men like us, who work all the time, but the officers above refuse to let us starve to death. However, the disaster is so severe that it is still a hungry meal. In May and June, it is common to be hungry for a day or two...... My mother was swollen and bright because of hunger that year. In order to save her life, I went to ask Baihu to borrow a pound of rice bran and boiled it into paste, which pulled my mother back from the ghost gate...... Later, the disaster got a little better...... I have an old hen at home, and that chicken is really good, and it will give birth to ten chickens in a month. So, I put the eggs with the gray flour, added some salt and shallots, and sold them everywhere in exchange for some money. ”
Speaking of his mother, the child's eyes were a little red: "When my rebel army passed through Yan'an that year, the people in the guard station fled to the city. I'm young and I don't know how to be afraid. When he saw that there were so many people, he brought bread and sold it. ”
"And then?" Sun Yuan looked at him with encouraging eyes and motioned for him to continue.
Ding Sheng: "As a result, the cake was robbed, not to mention, and it was also pulled into Ding, so he joined the rebel army." It has been almost three years since I walked from Shaanxi to Shanxi and then to Henan. ”
"Anti-thieves and mobs, they should all be killed!" Shi Daxiang on the ground scolded in a low voice.
Xiao Ding was furious and was about to continue stretching out his feet to kick, Sun Yuan waved his hand, and lowered his head and asked Shi Daxiang: "Master Shi, do you feel better?" By the way, please help me with where your seal is. ”
Shi Daxiang sneered: "The eunuchs are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and I Qingliu gentleman and you will not stand together, do you think this official will tell you?" ”
Ding Sheng next to him was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, didn't you ask about the whereabouts of this dog official's treasure, why did you ask him to seal the letter?" ”
Sun Yuan didn't answer this question either, stood up, and walked towards the big case. Xiao Ding followed behind him vigilantly and continued to ask: "Master, please ask for advice!" ”
Sun Yuan picked up the oil lamp on the table: "Xiaoding, after three years, do you miss your mother?" ”
Ding Sheng's body trembled, and he was speechless for a moment, and by the light, it could be seen that there were tears flashing in his eyes.
Placing the oil lamp in front of Shi Shi, the bright light shook Shi Daxiang and turned his head to the side. Sun Yuan sighed faintly: "Like you, I also have an old lady at home. It's been more than two months since Rugao came, and I'm also worried about it, and I think about it every day, and I don't want to see her old man's face. Now that he has joined the rebels, he doesn't know when he will be able to reunite with her. Unlike you, I am an only child. Without me, I don't know how my mother's life is. If she is tired or sick, who can serve her at her bedside? When I think of this, my heart is like a knife. Xiao Ding, speaking of which, I really envy you! ”
Ding Sheng: "Master, what do you envy me?" ”
Sun Yuan: "You have a brother and sister-in-law, if your mother has a headache and brain fever, she is not afraid of no one around." ”
"Brother and sister-in-law...... They...... They ......" Xiao Ding's body flickered, but his expression was gloomy: "My brother is a melon character, and he listens to his sister-in-law for everything." My sister-in-law is anxious and has a discord with my mother, and she has said before that she will split up and drive my mother and me out of the house...... If I wasn't there, my mother wouldn't know what it would be like to be bullied by my sister-in-law...... If she is sick, her sister-in-law probably won't take care of it. ”
Sun Yuan looked at Xiao Ding fiercely: "Do you miss your mother?" ”
Ding Sheng's tears suddenly fell, and his voice choked: "Yes, I think about my mother every day...... Mother, it's a child who is not filial, a child who is not filial! Mother, don't blame your son, your son left you, it's really, really met ......"
Sun Yuan suddenly shouted at Shi Daxiang: "Name? ”
Shi Daxiang was stunned: "What? ”
Sun Yuan: "Your name?" The gentleman does not change his name, but he does not change his surname. ”
Master Shi was so angry that his face turned red: "Thief, a certain name is Shi Daxiang." ”
"Origin."
"You!"
"Origin."
Shi Daxiang said angrily: "Shaoguan, Guangdong." ”
"Position."
"Don't you know?"
Sun Yuan let Shi Daxiang go and comforted Ding Sheng gently: "Xiao Ding, you don't have to be sad, didn't you encounter natural and man-made disasters, your mother knows, and she will probably not blame you." There is a saying that when the clouds are opened and the moon is bright, I believe that one day, you will be reunited with your mother. ”
He deliberately bit the word man-made disaster very hard, and Xiao Ding's body trembled: "Master, can I really reunite with my mother one day?" ”
Sun Yuan nodded affirmatively: "I have also read the books of sages for many years, don't you believe my words." ”
"I believe, I believe. But...... But...... We all hit Fengyang, thousands of miles away from Shaanxi, when will we be able to return to our hometown? Xiao Ding suddenly became irritable, and the back of his hand holding the handle of the knife was full of green tendons. His face contorted: "Why, why, God, why are you doing this to me." What did I do wrong in my previous life, and you want someone to arrest me? ”
Sun Yuan said lightly: "It's unreasonable to blame God, it's all man-made." ”
"Man-made disaster, man-made disaster, man-made disaster......" Ding Sheng kept repeating this sentence in his mouth.
Sun Yuan sneered in his heart, this kid is about fourteen or fifteen years old, which is the age of the second middle school rebellion. As soon as he encounters something, he will first blame others, and he has succeeded in making him hate the peasant army.
It can be said that the murderous aura on his body has been transferred by himself. Next, even if Fei Hong launches it, this Ding Sheng will hesitate when he makes a move.
In this way, it is a chance to get out of it.
At this moment, there was a sudden dull sound from there, as if something had fallen on the person's body, followed by a long scream.
Fei Hong and the donkey, they did it.
Sun Yuan's body trembled, and he shouted in his heart: "Bitter, Fei Hong, you are too fast, I haven't finished Xiaoding yet...... This time I'm really going to die here.
As soon as he moved, he only heard a sonorous sound, and a cold knife was put on his neck, and Ding Sheng's cold voice came from behind: "Master, don't move, otherwise Xiao Ding will be offended!" It's a mess out there, it must have been your arrangement, right? Drunk his brothers with wine, and then set out to kill people. Brother Liu is right, although you have voted for your name, master, you can't fully believe it before you leave Fengyang with my righteous army. ”
Seeing Xue Liang's knife, Shi Daxiang, who was lying on the ground, called out weakly: "Ah! "My body trembled.
The sharp knife on his neck was sticking to it, and Sun Yuan got goosebumps on his body.
At this time, the chaos over there was even louder, and there was a constant sound of flesh crashing, the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, and one scream after another...... From here, the bright windows are full of flickering figures. Then, a fire flared up, and it was assumed that someone had kicked the brazier in the house, setting something on fire.
Sun Yuan also knew that as long as he answered a wrong sentence now, Ding Sheng, the second little boy in middle school, would cut off the knife in his hand without hesitation. When this kid slaughtered the city yesterday, he was very ruthless, and even Erya was snatched by him.
Kill a person without blinking an eye.
Sun Yuan turned his head and smiled at Ding Sheng: "Brother, Brother Liu?" Little Ding, you're a fool! ”
"Master, this is looking for death?" Ding Sheng's face was full of anger, and his subordinates exerted a slight force.
Sun Yuan felt a tingling pain in the back of his neck, and he didn't know if the skin was broken. But he also knew that as long as he showed a little fear now, what awaited him was the end of his head falling to the ground.
Anyway, he laughed: "Xiao Ding, you are still not happy to say that you are a fool." I think back then, you lived well in Yan'an and served your mother, who separated your mother and son. I didn't expect you to treat them as brothers, and the big brother shouted affectionately. Haha, right and wrong are not clear, black and white, the thief is the father, and it is you who is talking about it. Think about it, if there is no you, your eldest brother and sister-in-law are not filial, your mother does not know how much suffering she will have to endure in the future, and without you, will she be able to live? That's right, I admit that I pretended to join the peasant army, thinking just to be useful, looking for an opportunity to escape back to Rugao and reunite with my mother, am I wrong? Xiaoding, I killed the group of people outside for you, and now that you are free, you can go back to Shaanxi, don't you want to? Think about your mother, think about it! If you don't want your mother, whether your mother lives or dies, and you want to be happy with the thief, then you are a brute. Do it, kill my Sun Yuan. If I want to abandon my mother, I might as well die! ”
"Mother!" Suddenly, the knife in Xiao Ding's hand fell to the ground, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand and kept slapping himself: "Mother, my son is not filial, my son is a brute." In the past three years, I have never thought of going home to see you, in the past three years, I only care about being happy outside, but I didn't expect that you can't even eat in your hometown......"
"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a gunshot over there, and then everything fell silent.
Only Xiaoding was still kneeling on the ground and crying.
Sun Yuan snatched the knife that fell to the ground, and was proud in his heart: Bittersweet memories, the big killer that the soil workers started back then, it is as good as moving it to ancient times, I am filling the political commissar skill tree!
