Chapter 8 Pear Blossom Falls into Distress Before Crossing

Lu Shaoyang only felt severe pain all over his body, and his head seemed to be about to explode. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info He breathed heavily, his hands swinging wildly to grab something. Another dizzying illusion appeared in front of his eyes, surrounded by a light, but the light was so small, this light may be the last hope, but it is out of reach. Lu Shaoyang continued to work hard, chasing, reaching out to touch, but he didn't touch anything.

He fell into confusion, and everything returned to nothingness. Lu Shaoyang's body became heavier and heavier, his mind was blank, and he finally lost all consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Shaoyang suddenly heard the song of the thrush in his ears, and the voice was tactful and crisp, like a guide, saving him from the chaotic world.

Lu Shaoyang slowly opened his eyes, and the things around him felt strange. It was a small thatched hut, and in the middle of the room was a bamboo table, the corners of which had been smoothed out, leaking the color of the bamboo. On the table were several clay pots and bowls, which were crudely made, as if they had been fired at home. There is a small window next to the bamboo table, and a thrush is standing on the edge of the window, jumping and singing a beautiful song. Looking to the left through the window, I saw the door of the house, which was hidden and a straw curtain hung over it.

Lu Shaoyang barely stood up half of his body with his elbows, but he coughed a few times coldly. Then the curtain on the door was lifted, and a girl of about twenty years old entered. I saw that she was wearing a soap-colored shirt and pants of the same color, holding the legs of her trousers, wearing straw sandals on her feet, her black hair was haphazardly tied together, and the ends of her hair were connected by a bone hairpin. Although the texture of her clothes is coarse, they are very clean, but there are some water stains on them, which are a little indecent. Besides, the girl's appearance is not alluring, but it is also beautiful and cute.

"Childe, you're awake." The girl asked with a smile.

"Ah, what is this place? Dare to ask who this sister is? Lu Shaoyang's mind was still a little confused, and he asked with his hand on his forehead.

"Don't call me sister, it's really a concubine. You call me Aunt Huan, that's what everyone here calls me.

"Aunt Huan? That's a good name. ”

When Aunt Huan heard Lu Shaoyang say this, her face turned red, and she said, "The name is used to call, but I haven't heard of anything good or bad." This is Lihuadu, not far from Chengdu, is Childe going to Chengdu? ”

"What? Chengdu? How did I come to Chengdu? I'm obviously in Liangshan! Lu Shaoyang's mouth opened wide in surprise when he heard her say this.

However, what is even more incredible is still to come, Aunt Huan frowned, and said: "Childe is afraid that he is sick and confused, this pear blossom ferry is more than 500 miles away from Liangshan!" ”

"Ahh Lu Shaoyang is indeed in a trance, what the hell is going on? His last memory was clearly in Liangshan, where his father fought with those masked men, and then ...... Lu Shaoyang suddenly thought that his father was gone, his heart churned, and tears poured out of his eyes.

"Childe, what's wrong with you? Is it uncomfortable? Seeing Lu Shaoyang crying, Aunt Huan thought that this was an attack of pain on his body, so she hurriedly walked to the bamboo table and poured some water in a clay pot and handed it to him.

Lu Shaoyang took the water but didn't drink it, he slowly stopped his tears and said, "Sister is bothered, it's okay down there." It's just that I just said that I'm sick, but what's going on? ”

"What? Childe doesn't know he's sick? ”

"Ah, I really don't know, my memory is vague for a while, I'm afraid I can't remember a lot of things."

"In this way, the concubine thinks that her head may be burned. A few days ago, I was in Huanyi next to the ferry, and I saw Childe lying on the ground, his body was scarily hot like a fire. The concubine and her mother-in-law took a lot of effort to move the son back, and a careful inspection found that although the son's clothes were neat, he was covered with abrasions all over his body, and his muscles and bones were broken in several places. We see that you are dressed extraordinarily, and we think that you must be an official who went to Chengdu to do business, and fell ill halfway and fell off the cliff and rolled to this ferry. ”

"So that's the case, Shaoyang, I'm grateful!" Lu Shaoyang was about to salute as he spoke, but his body was too weak, and his upper body was a little unsupportive when he just moved slightly.

Aunt Huan took the pottery bowl and helped Lu Shaoyang to slowly lay him down, fed him the water in the pottery bowl, and said, "The son is still weak now, so the etiquette of these scholars will be waived first." After a while, the concubine's mother-in-law will come back and help you boil some medicine. ”

Lu Shaoyang said again with gratitude: "Thank you." After thinking about it, he asked again: "My sister said that she lived with her mother-in-law, so she must have been out of the cabinet, and I dare to ask where my eldest brother is, and I will thank him when he comes back." ”

After he asked, Aunt Huan sighed and said: "The concubine husband was conscripted into forced labor and went to the battlefield of Shu and Chu the year before last, and now there is no news, and the people in the village say that they are afraid that it will be more auspicious." Now the concubine can only rely on her mother-in-law for her life, and on weekdays, she helps the men, women and children in the village wash some clothes for money, and in the future, she can only survive one day at a time. ”

"It's abrupt." Lu Shaoyang said: "I didn't expect that this war has spread to such a distant village, it seems that the people have really suffered a lot." ”

Aunt Huan smiled bitterly: "That Chu King has long coveted our Shu land, and in recent years, he has been using troops tightly, a few days ago, I heard that his family monarch united a few people to commit it together, and now I am afraid that he has already fought the Ascending Immortal Water." ”

"Ascending Immortal Water? I heard that it has already reached the boundary of Chengdu, and if so, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious. Lu Shaoyang said.

Aunt Huan shook her head and said, "That's fate." I think we don't like soldiers, and there has been no war in Shu for hundreds of years, where can we beat those fierce generals? Everything can only be left to fate. ”

"How can it be resigned to fate? The world is big, fertile and fertile. Now that Shu is difficult to protect, it is better to go to other places to seek a way to survive. Lu Shaoyang lay on the bed and persuaded.

Aunt Huan stroked the hair of her sideburns and said, "Although the world is big, even if it is fertile for thousands of miles, there is no place for us." Now that there are wars going on everywhere, and there is a lot of smoke for a while, where can we, the unarmed people, go? In the end, it's just a matter of running for her life, and the concubine thinks it's better to stay here, after all, this is the concubine's hometown, if you're lucky, maybe the concubine's husband can come back! ”

As soon as he said this, someone outside the door called the door: "Aunt Huan, I'm back." ”

Hearing the sound, Aunt Huan hurriedly opened the door and welcomed the man in, only to see a white-haired old woman holding a bamboo cane and slowly walked into the house.

"Is that boy better?" The old woman asked.

Aunt Huan said: "I've woken up, I've eaten some water just now." ”

The old woman nodded, walked to the side of the bed and touched Lu Shaoyang's forehead, and said, "It's really better, I just went to the village to ask for some herbs, you go and fry it for this son, maybe it will be better soon." ”

Aunt Huan walked out of the hut with the medicine according to the old woman's instructions. When Lu Shaoyang saw the old woman, he knew in his heart that this must be Aunt Huan's mother-in-law, and he wanted to sit up to give a salute, but was stopped by the old woman, and said: "Our village women's house can't see such a number of courtesies, besides, son, you are injured or recuperate!" ”

Lu Shaoyang said: "This chaotic day can save this unknown person, I think you are really a good person, mother-in-law." ”

The old woman smiled and said: "Good people don't dare to be, who doesn't save the emergency, the old woman, I just don't want to see death and not save it." ”

The old woman paused, and suddenly asked: "The prince is not dressed like our people in Shudi, but if you look closely, there are some Xia people's style, isn't it Xia people?" ”

"How do the old people know?" Lu Shaoyang asked.

The old woman waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't blame the son, the old woman, I was originally surnamed Zhang, my ancestors lived in the Xia country, planted some mulberry hemp for a living, and later married far away with her husband to Chu Land, I wanted to live in peace, how to think that the king of Chu was warlike, generation after generation, my hard-working husband was forced to die in the army, my old woman had no choice but to take her knees to go to Shu to escape the world, and I thought that there were twenty spring and autumn seasons. ”

"It turns out that my mother-in-law is also from Xia Guo, so Shaoyang is really rude."

"Where is it, now that all countries in this world are at war, there are many people who have fled, but there is no need to divide the Xia people and the Shu people, it is true that everyone is a poor person. However, I think the son is young, but he is a talent, and he is not an ordinary child, but why did he get injured and fall ill next to this ferry? ”

Listening to the old woman's question, Lu Shaoyang's chest was mixed for a while, he sighed deeply, and said: "After all, it is difficult to say, my mother-in-law is kind enough to take me in, but unfortunately I can't hurt my mother-in-law, I can't hide it, I am in trouble but I am afraid that I will affect others again." So ......"

The old woman's face sank and said, "So what? Where can a body like yours go? The world is in chaos like this, even if you want to live a good life, I'm afraid there is nowhere to go. In this way, there are more than a million people in distress in various parts of this country, and although my wife is only a village woman, she also knows the truth of doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, even if she can't save everyone, she can also save one or two. Besides, we are all forced to run away, because of the world, since we are all people who have fallen to the end of the world, why should we see the outside so much? I think it's better to take care of this little boy as soon as possible, and as for other things, wait until you recover from your illness before making plans. ”

Lu Shaoyang saw that the excuse was worth nodding, and the old woman showed a smile. At this time, Aunt Huan had already fried the medicine, walked straight to the bed with the bowl, and said: "Mother-in-law and son-in-law's words The concubine heard seventy-seven eighty-eight in the courtyard, we ordinary people have no red tape, and we are not afraid of any involvement, if the son does not dislike us here, listen to the words of the concubine's mother-in-law, and live here for a few more days." ”

Lu Shaoyang looked at the gentle eyes of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, holding the medicine bowl handed to him by Aunt Huan, and tears couldn't help but fall again. At this time, it was noon, and the bright sunlight shining on the window edge made the whole room very warm.
