Chapter 16: A Letter from Home
Today is the Feng family's Yingsan, Han Wang was so busy two days ago that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he really didn't care about helping, so he came out of Sanlin Village and went directly to Feng He's house. The loss of a son in old age is a tragedy in life, try to comfort and relieve Feng He, and at the same time check what happened to the wound on his arm.
Fengzhuang Sanlin is also four or five miles away, plus the hillside stream, it should take nearly half an hour for ordinary people to walk alone, and Han Wang rushed back after more than a quarter of an hour with the force under his feet.
Fenghe's adobe house is covered with frost and snow, and in this verdant field, like a white chrysanthemum, looking at the past from afar, the mood has become solemn.
Han Wang saw Feng He's sadness at the moment when he lost his son that day, and said that the older a person gets, the easier it is to be stubborn, and forced persuasion will definitely have the opposite effect, thinking about it, it is better to mention Feng Liang's matter more, maybe it can distract Feng He's attention, as long as he is distracted, he can also take advantage of the situation to solve it little by little.
The frames of the doors and windows are tied with white gauze, the ground is scattered with unburned yellow paper, and there is the smell of cigarettes and candles in the air. In the center of the hut was a door panel, on which some hay was placed, and a layer of black gauze was spread on the hay, on which Feng Chen's body was parked.
Feng Chen was already wearing a newly made shroud, and after being restrained, he looked like he was asleep, Han Wang didn't expect that He Banxian was still a very professional mortuary.
Feng He squatted on the side, looking a lot older, and he no longer had the spirit of being cheap and eating when he first met. I kept thinking back in my heart that I had been riding horses for half my life, only two sons, my old wife died of illness a few years ago, and my eldest son also went to the border, and only the younger son was always around.
The original intention was to let him go to the county government to do odd jobs, first, to subsidize the family, and secondly, to see the world and make some friends, so that he could have a good job in the future. I didn't expect that this time the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, he shouldn't have been too greedy at the beginning, he stayed by his side to grow crops, hunt, chop wood, how could he make ends meet.
So guilt, remorse, and self-blame filled his thoughts.
As it was close to night, He Banxian and several friends and neighbors who helped him had already returned, and Juan Niang greeted Han Wang, "Mr. Han, you are tired, hurry up and persuade Daddy, I haven't eaten for the past two days, and the wound has not been cleaned and washed."
Juan Niang is really worried that her father-in-law can't think about it, Feng He himself is seriously injured, everyone can see that he is angry this time, in case there are three long and two short, she can't carry this family as a woman.
Han Wang nodded, he originally meant this, so he followed the words and said, "Senior, when we come to this world, the only thing we can't control is birth, old age, sickness and death; Brother Feng Chen was unfortunately killed, and the younger generation also regretted it, but people can't be resurrected after death, and the seniors still have to hold on, I believe that Ling Lang's spirit in the sky will not be willing to see you so sad."
Although Feng He was born in the army, he naturally didn't want to be that little child, but he was just a lively son who died unexpectedly, and he couldn't accept it for a while. And when he is old, he wants to keep a son by his side, but how did this disaster befall his own family? Silent.
Han Wang then persuaded, "Seniors, the dead are gone, you should cherish the living, although the morning goes, the light is still there, the younger generation thinks, whether to go to a letter to inform the family of the changes, if Da Lang can take the opportunity to return to his hometown, first, to comfort you, and second, there can be someone to support everything in the family for the time being."
Feng He's originally godless eyes showed a hint of brightness, yes, I also have a son, no matter what, I want to meet him, I haven't seen him for a few years, and I don't know if Liang'er is fat or thin, and there are many important words to tell him, and I immediately figured it out.
Feng He stood up, "What Mr. Han said is reasonable, I really have something to say to Liang'er, can I bother Mr. to write on my behalf?" ”
Han Wang had already prepared, took out the pen and paper he carried, and lay on the small table to write, Feng He said, Han Wang wrote a sentence, although his own writing was not very good, but it was so neat and tidy that it would not be unrecognizable.
After a while, the letter had been written, and Feng He passed through this door, and after thinking too much, he was relieved from the emotion of losing his son, and his mind also changed, and he put the letter away and kept Han Wang to eat together.
Of course, Han Wang did not forget the original promise, and at the end of the letter, he also carried a few words of greetings from Juanniang in person, and Juanniang was grateful for the blessings.
The letter was written, and it was to be sent to the post station on the county government to be handed over to Cao Guan, and then entrusted by Cao Guan to go to the bottle-shaped village to bring it over, because the bottle-shaped village is a military fortress, it is fixed once a day on weekdays, so if it goes well, Feng Liang can receive this letter three or five days later.
After writing a letter, Han Wang cleaned and cared for Feng He's wound, the wound was a little red, swollen and suppurated, but fortunately it was not serious, so he tried to absorb the concentrated water as much as possible, and then put herbs on it and bandaged it with a cloth towel.
Then he told Feng He about Mengxue, seeing that Feng He was in a little mood, and the sky was not long enough to leave and go back. When I went out, I told Juan Niang: I must change the dressing every day, so that the wound can recover as soon as possible, and if it does not heal for a long time, the problem will be big. Juan Niang promised again and again, and sent Han Wang a long way before turning back.
In May, the night fell relatively quickly, there was no moon and no stars tonight, walking in the dark made Han Wang suffer a little, the ridges in the countryside were narrow, and he stepped on the field without paying attention, so that Han Wang thought that he had broken his foot several times. finally returned to the ancestral hall in embarrassment, and saw a small figure at the door.
Han Wang asked, "Who's where?" "Sir, I'm Zhou Jun" turned out to be a future engineer! Hurry up and please, Han Wang led Zhou Jun into the ancestral hall, and when he entered the room, Han Wang saw Zhou Jun holding a wooden box in his hand, and said, "Is your food box made?" ”
Zhou Jun nodded excitedly and handed over the wooden box. Han Wang took it, it was really good, the elm plank, the layers of texture were like feathers, and it was also a little brilliant after being polished by craftsmen.
It is about 20 centimeters square, about 10 centimeters deep, divided into one large and three small compartments, in the form of heaven and earth cover, and the seal on the lid of this box is engraved with "Feng's Mengxue" and the number, "one".
A ten-year-old child can do it to this extent, even Han Wang has to admire it. Raised his thumb and said, "Gu De!" Zhou Jun's expression was cloudy, looking at the food box, and the puzzled repetition in his mouth, "Bulging?" “
Han Wang patted her little head, and said with a smile, "That's what Mr. is very satisfied, you are doing better than I expected, not only is the food box doing well, but even better is that you have a sense of responsibility and perseverance, as long as you can adhere to these two points in the future, plus your talent, I believe you will be able to be famous all over the world!" “
Zhou Jun was very excited to receive such praise, and said, "Sir, this No. 1 food box is for you, I have been waiting at the craftsman's place, and I will send it to you as soon as it is ready." ”
Han Wang returned the exquisite food box to Zhou Jun, "Zhou Jun, I've seen it, this food box is very good, you send it back first, and I will collect it with you and other classmates tomorrow, the hour is not early, I have to go to school tomorrow, go back to rest early." ”
Zhou Jun didn't understand, "But, you are a gentleman, you should take it first!" "Just because I am your husband, I should collect it with the rest of Mengxue, and you will understand this in the future."
Seeing that Zhou Jun was a little excited, he turned around and went back, and Han Wang said, "When you receive the food box tomorrow, I will give you a red flower!" Zhou Junhuo turned around, his expression was excited for a moment, and he bowed towards Han Wang, "Thank you, sir, I'll send it back" Fei also seemed to have to run.
For the first time, Han Wang had expectations for this era, although he knew that a few years later, the fierce and brutal Jin army roared south, and after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the number of Han households in the north dropped sharply from 10 million to less than 1 million.
Since it is impossible for the corrupt Zhao royal family and the corrupt government to resist this national catastrophe, then I, Han Wang, will stand up and take up this burden; Since many ancient national heroes represented by Zong Ze, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong can emerge in this era, why can't I, Han Wang, turn the tide!
And what really touched Han Wang the most was that children like Zhou Jun can persevere, and this land is pregnant with infinite possibilities.
Han Wang is not without worry, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Song Dynasty army is a joke, if you want to fight against the Jin army, you can't do it without a gun; But if you want to get a gun in this state now, you will definitely die quickly, and you can't get it if you don't have money, so it's the last word to get rich as soon as possible.
The first goal is to make money, the second goal is to cultivate talents, and the third is to pull up a sufficient elite army, and at the same time beware of the persecution of the emperor and the imperial court, Han Wang does not want to be worshiped as a national hero.
If you make money, Hua Niang is a suitable candidate, with a good image, smart enough, the key is to be able to hold the scene, these are talents; Since she can't learn it, she will give her some sweetness first, and after making money and gaining trust, it will be good to hire her as the vice president of sales of Han's company.
Talent problem, I believe that a few disciples are cultivated every year, and they will be reluctantly used after a few years, at present, it seems that Xiong Da is a natural general, and chasing the wind is the demeanor of some special forces captains, and it will not take a few months to highlight the training, and the logistics look at Feng Wen Feng He It is estimated that there is no problem.
As for the source of soldiers, if you look at the competition for water in Sanlin Fengzhuang, you will know that the people of Hebei are still martial, the people are fierce, and they are accustomed to daily fighting, which is a rare source of good soldiers. As long as you have money and food, you can get an official body and recruit hundreds of people at a time.
In addition, there is also a thief's nest in Erlong Mountain that is a treasure, it is estimated that there is a lot of gold and silver treasures in the village, and there are hundreds of junior armed personnel, Han Wang has already thought about it, the first step in militarization is the idea of fighting Erlong Village. After all, he is also a fan of Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword".
