Chapter 9 Watching Pear Blossoms in Troubled Times
Lu Shaoyang stayed at Aunt Huan's house for a few days, and his injuries were much better. Pen & Fun & Ge www.biquge.info On this morning, Aunt Huan fed him a bowl of rice porridge and went out to work. Lu Shaoyang felt that his body seemed to be fine, so he slowly sat up from the bed, looking at the birds and flowers in front of the window, his mood was really much better, and he thought that he should go out for a walk, so he walked out of the house with his support for the wall.
Outside the house is a courtyard made of bamboo. The yard was not large, and some dry firewood was scattered in the clearing, and a few chickens paced leisurely around the firewood, like a general patrolling his troops.
In the middle of the yard there are two pear trees, and several bamboo poles are attached to the forks of the trees, connecting the two trees. The bamboo poles were covered with clothes that had not yet been dried, and some of them were wet and fluttering in the wind.
Aunt Huan was sitting in front of the wooden basin under the tree washing her clothes, and her sackcloth sleeves were pulled up to her elbows, revealing a patch of snow-white skin. The skin looked even more ruddy under the sun, and it seemed to be branded with a layer of golden light in a trance, and the golden light swayed back and forth with Aunt Huan's movements, which really made me a little dizzy.
Lu Shaoyang didn't make a sound, he just watched Aunt Huan work under the tree, watched the petals on the pear tree fall quietly, hit Aunt Huan's shoulder and fell to the ground quietly. At that moment, Lu Shaoyang's heart was calm, he thought of his mother, when he was a child, at home in the summer capital, his mother washed and cooked with his subordinates, and he didn't look like an official wife at all. Lu Shaoyang has liked to eat pancakes since he was a child, and his mother also rolled up her sleeves and stood in front of the stove like Aunt Huan to give him pancakes to eat. The cake was so sweet and delicious, and to this day Lu Shaoyang still remembers the taste of the pancake. I really want to go back to my hometown and eat my mother's pancakes again, mother......
Lu Shaoyang thought about it, his eyes were a little moist. He leaned on the door frame and looked quietly, but his thoughts had already drifted to Xia Guo and into his happy childhood.
Aunt Huan finished washing her clothes, and when she looked up and saw Lu Shaoyang standing at the door looking at her, her face turned red all of a sudden. She stood up, wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and said, "Childe woke up, why did he come out by himself?" Isn't the injury on his body getting better? ”
"Thank you sister for your concern, it's really much better here." Lu Shaoyang came back to his senses and replied.
"That's great! My mother-in-law went to the village again today to help her son get medicine, and when she came back, I told her that I believe she would be happy. ”
Lu Shaoyang nodded, "I've really tired my mother-in-law and sister these days, Shaoyang, I will definitely thank you again in the future!" ”
"Where's the talk! Did we save my son for a reward? Aunt Huan was a little unhappy, but she still found a bamboo chair and put it in front of Lu Shaoyang, "Son, sit down for a while, you haven't recovered yet, sit down and rest for a while, your body will be better." ”
Lu Shaoyang reluctantly sat down, "I said the wrong thing just now, I hope my sister won't take it to heart." ”
Aunt Huan blinked, and suddenly became happy, "Childe is really outside, how can the concubine be angry because of Childe's words just now?" It's just that I feel that everyone is in trouble, and helping each other is a gesture, and there is nothing to talk about repaying gratitude. ”
Lu Shaoyang looked at Aunt Huan and laughed as well. Yes, the folk customs here are not as simple as the worldly and perverse outside world, I have never walked the rivers and lakes, and naturally I don't know the human affairs, but I have been trapped by the upper etiquette since I was a child, and I have always been polite to people, but I never thought that there was such a place in the world that did not need red tape.
The two chatted for a while, and Granny Zhang came back on crutches at this time. She was really happy to see that Lu Shaoyang was already able to sit outside, and quickly put down the medicine in her hand and said, "I didn't expect to recover so quickly, our hometown has to take half a year to break my muscles and bones." ”
Lu Shaoyang said: "Thank you mother-in-law for your concern, there is indeed no big problem in the next place, and I believe that it will be restored in three or five days." As for the reason for this, I don't know below, maybe it is God's mercy. ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Granny Zhang grabbed Lu Shaoyang's hand and said, "I won't tell you, old woman, I thought of my son when I saw my son, and I think he was about the same age as you when he was serving in forced labor, and several years have passed, and I don't know if he is dead or alive now." ”
Speaking of this, Granny Zhang couldn't help but cry. Lu Shaoyang hurriedly comforted: "Mother-in-law, don't think too much, if you want to come to Jiren, you have your own natural appearance, your mother-in-law's family is kind and loving, and God will definitely take care of it." ”
Granny Zhang wiped her tears with the back of her dry hand and said, "Don't talk about this, but let the son smile." The old woman asked for some herbs from the village, and asked Aunt Huan to fry it. ”
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, you have been working hard for a long time, it doesn't hurt to sit down and rest for a while before doing anything else."
Granny Zhang let out a long hum and leaned her cane against the door, and Aunt Huan quickly took another chair and served her mother-in-law to sit down. The mother-in-law wiped away her tears and looked at Lu Shaoyang opposite with a smile and said: "Now that the officials are bullying the people, the kings and grandsons of some forces naturally regard us as mustards, but it is rare to be as approachable as you, Gongzi!" ”
Lu Shaoyang said with a smile: "What did my mother-in-law say, if it weren't for my mother-in-law and Aunt Huan to rescue me, I'm afraid I would have died in Jiuquan a long time ago." You are the benefactor of the next! ”
Granny Zhang shook her head and said, "It's still Lu Gongzi, your life shouldn't be extinguished, I just obey the destiny of heaven when I think of the old woman." It's just that Childe's injury is about to heal, but I don't know what your plans are in the future? ”
"Are you going to?" Lu Shaoyang suddenly remembered his father Lu Wufeng and the gang of men in black, and a word slowly emerged from his mind: revenge!
Yes, these bloody words broke into Lu Shaoyang's heart at once. My father died tragically to protect myself, and my mother also died for herself, all for him, but I couldn't do anything!
Now that he has become an orphan, where is there a place for him to survive in this war-torn world? Even though this Taoyuan Township gave him a moment of tranquility, he didn't belong here after all, he still had some things that he had to figure out, and there was a blood feud that he had to revenge!
The person who killed his father and his mother indirectly must be him-King Xia! Hong Yuandu! That's right, those men in black must have been sent by him, for the twelve badges in his father's hands! My father desperately protected the coat of arms, and finally died of his family, but where was the coat of arms? My father didn't tell me, and the men in black must not have been found. Father said that the twelve chapters are related to the fate of the people in the world, but he let his family have bad luck, so I think that thing is really an ominous thing, but the king of Xia and the princes of the world must get it, hum! What the enemy wants, he doesn't want him to be satisfied, and Lu Shaoyang already has a reason in his heart to find the twelve chapter patterns. Not for the sake of the world, but for one breath!
He had already made up his mind, but after thinking about it, there was something wrong, now he had no ability to confront King Xia at all, even if he got the twelve chapters? will still be snatched by King Xia, even if it is not obtained by King Xia, it will become the treasure of other princes, so in the final analysis, it is still not enough for himself. You must master the skills to be able to fight against the Xia King and the other princes, but who can help you to obtain the skills to fight against the princes of all walks of life? He suddenly thought of a person, the Yong'an Layman.
That's right, Yong'an Jushi is a good friend of his father, proficient in the art of yin and yang, if he can beg him to teach him all the yin and yang techniques, then revenge is just around the corner.
Thinking of this, Lu Shaoyang opened his mouth and replied: "I want to find someone in Xia, he is a friend of my father, and I think there are some things that only he can help me." ”
Granny Zhang asked, "Childe's friend is in Shudi?" ”
Lu Shaoyang replied: "Exactly, he is in Liangshan now." ”
Granny Zhang pondered for a while and said, "That Liangshan is not close to this pear blossom crossing, it will take at least half a month to walk, even if there are carriages and horses, you have to walk for seven or eight days, you are now weak and can you stand such a trip?" ”
Lu Shaoyang said: "Life and death are destined for wealth in the sky, since God is favored and did not let me die this time, then I will definitely bless me to find this friend." Mother-in-law, rest assured, when everything is done, I will definitely come back to see your old man. ”
"That's not necessary, it's just that the road ahead is long, and there are always some unforeseen things, and you need to be prepared." At this point, the old man got up and went into the house, and after a while he came out again, but there was an extra cloth bag in his hand. The old man spread out the cloth bag in his hand, and inside was a few copper coins and a few pieces of jewelry.
"This is the money that Aunt Huan and I saved, plus daily jewelry, you can use it on the road." Granny Zhang said.
"Old man, how can this be." Lu Shaoyang hurriedly saluted: "This is your savings, and the Taoist family in this world is not rich, if I take these, how can you live!" ”
Granny Zhang said: "This doesn't have to worry about the son, we have hands and feet, naturally we can't starve to death, you take it and use it, but we are relieved, and I think it is a good person to do it to the end." ”
Aunt Huan on the side also came up and said, "Yes, son, you can take it, although we are not rich, but we are also happy." But if you don't take it, we'll be troubled. ”
Lu Shaoyang saw that it was so difficult to refuse, so he had to accept it, but he still insisted that he would repay it twice in the future. Although this remark made Granny Zhang and Aunt Huan a little unhappy, the two finally didn't say anything.
The three of them were sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, and suddenly a person stumbled in outside, and when he saw Granny Zhang, he said, "It's not good!" ”
This person, Granny Zhang, knew that he was a blacksmith in the village, and when she saw the blacksmith's panicked expression, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The blacksmith gasped, obviously running all the way, and when he calmed down a little, he said: "It's really a big thing, the Shu army has been defeated, the capital has been lost, and the people of Chu have entered the city!" ”
