Chapter 51: Departure
The escort was imminent, Liu Yuan did not stay in the Lu Mansion for a long time, and after the matter was explained, he returned to the Surabaya Pavilion. In the afternoon, Liu Yuan personally entered the mountain, he cut some firewood, repaired the roof, and smoothed the potholes in front of the door. After doing this, he took a closer look, and when he saw that the trivial matters at home had been dealt with, he rushed to the pavilion.
The news of Liu Yuan's escort has spread in the Surabaya Pavilion, and the people are very reluctant, and at this time many people have gathered in the pavilion, and they have surrounded Liu Yuan when they see it.
"Pavilion Chief Liu, let me go with you, I don't have any skills, but I still have the strength to do it."
"San'er, the fourth uncle also served as a conscription back then, and the road was bumpy, so you have to be fully prepared."
"The county order of Zhang is so hateful, he actually asked our Pavilion Chief Liu to be in charge of escorting, let's go, let's go to the county office." There were also people who coaxed.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan's heart warmed, and he hurriedly comforted: "Yuan Xian thanked everyone for their concern, this time the north is just an escort, don't worry." ”
Sending the people away, Liu Yuan summoned Liu Fang and others, he swept over the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "I have already explained what should be explained." Liu Fang, from tomorrow onwards, you will temporarily act as the pavilion chief; Ergou, I will hand over this security to you, if I come back if the pavilion is uneasy, don't blame you Brother Yuan for not sparing you. ”
Ergou smiled, he touched his head, and said honestly: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, I definitely do better than Brother Da Niu." ”
"Oh, Ergou, you kid, I haven't left yet, you really treat yourself as a thief?" Da Niu slapped Ergou's head and scolded.
Everyone was also amused by the two of them, and the tense and depressing atmosphere disappeared for a while.
"Alright. Da Niu, you go to the pavilion to pick some people, remember, this escort is dangerous, you can't force it, and those who are willing to go with me are the best. Liu Yuan commanded in a deep voice again.
"I understand that I must find some reliable people." Da Niu left immediately, he only had less than half a day now, the time was very urgent, and he didn't dare to delay.
Immediately, Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Bo again, and also instructed: "You go and prepare some hats, clothes and hemp ropes, these are all used on the road." ”
"Okay, Brother Yuan!" Zhou Bo was ordered, and he also hurriedly went out to prepare.
In the end, Liu Yuan looked at Liu Fang, he smiled indifferently, and said: "You don't have to be cautious during this time, Brother Yuan believes in you, if you have any ideas, you can do it boldly." There are three elders in Fengyi, and there are Xiao Xiancheng in Pei County, and they will not stand idly by if anything happens. ”
Knowing that Liu Yuan had already paved the way for himself, Liu Fang was also relieved, and finally Liu Yuan said: "You also go and help prepare some water bladders, and also, buy some dried meat from neighbors' homes." ”
Throughout the afternoon, the Surabaya Pavilion was busy, and every household, whoever could help, would not be stingy, hats, hemp rope, and dried meat, these materials were collected quickly. As for manpower, Liu Yuan's prestige is unmatched, and many sturdy guys have to join the escort. Da Niu screened more than 20 people from it, including two middle-aged men with rich experience, which made Liu Yuan happy, and Haosheng praised Da Niu. With two experienced people, the road to the north is much more steady.
When she returned home in the evening, Lu Pheasant cooked a very rich meal, in addition to meat, she stewed a rare fish, and also bought some rice wine. Pouring rice wine for Liu Yuan, Lu Pheasant smiled slightly, at this time she didn't cry like a resentful woman, she was an assertive person, very intelligent, and knew that what she could do was to share worries for Liu Yuan, not complain.
"San'er, come, eat more." Mother Liu took the meat with concern and handed it over.
"Why do you bother the mother, the child comes by himself." Liu Yuan took the meat and said apologetically, and then he sandwiched the dishes for Liu's mother and Lu Pheasant, "Ejiao also eat more, when you come to our Liu family, you will suffer, Yuan is ashamed." ”
Lu Pheasant smiled happily, and said gently: "My husband is working hard for the people outside, how dare I say that my husband is hard." ”
The meal was eaten very slowly, and the mother and son talked a lot with each other, and they were happy. After dinner, Liu Yuan went to Zhou Bo's house, the Zhou family's aunt was making pancakes for her son, and when she saw Liu Yuan, Zhou's mother pursed her lips and smiled: "San'er is here, sit down, how about tasting the pancakes of the aunt?" ”
Liu Yuan waved his hand and smiled: "No, no, these are still for Zhou Bo." After a pause, he bowed down to Zhou's mother and said in a deep voice: "Let Zhou Bo escort me this time, and I hope that my aunt will not be strange." ”
"San'er, what are you talking about?" Mother Zhou's face turned pale, "If this kid Zhou Bo dares not to go, his aunt will have to beat him to death." ”
"Yuan Xie Guo aunt understands." Liu Yuan thanked him again. The Zhou family's aunt was orphaned and widowed, and let Zhou Bo accompany him, Liu Yuan also felt sorry, so he came to thank Zhou's mother.
Back in her room, Lu Pheasant had already called for washing water, she wrung out the burlap towel, and wiped Liu Yuan herself. Afterwards, Lu Pheasant took a package, and she said: "My mother made a long gown, and the cloth shoes made by Ejiao are in it, and the husband can bring it to replace." ”
After taking the package, Liu Yuan held Lu Pheasant in his arms, he touched the latter's hair, and said in a deep voice: "Mother and Ejiao have worked hard." Then he gently unbuttoned Lu Pheasant's shirt and said with a smile: "It's not early, it's time for Aunt E to rest." "This night, the warbler in the house kept crying.
The next morning, before leaving, Lu Pheasant helped Liu Yuan straighten his clothes, and she said softly: "Husband, take care." ”
"Take care of my mother at home and wait for me to come back." Then Liu Yuan knelt down to Liu's mother to say goodbye, "Mother, the child is gone!" ”
In the reluctant tears of Liu's mother, Liu Yuanxin turned around and left. When they arrived at the pavilion, Da Niu and Zhou Bo and others had already arrived, and the three elders of Fengyi also came, and the three elders did not say much, what should have been said had been said yesterday. Liu Yuan patted Liu Fang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't cry with a sad face, the Surabaya Pavilion will be handed over to you kid." ”
In the end, he looked at the more than 20 strong men, and said in a condensed voice: "It is difficult and dangerous to go north to Jiuyuan, Yuan does not dare to guarantee that each of you can return safely, but Yuan can guarantee that from today and now, Yuan and you will live and die together!" Come on, serve wine! ”
Hearing the order, Ergou immediately brought rice wine, Liu Yuan raised the bowl, looked up to the sky and smiled, he said with a smile in his loud voice: "Come, brothers, do it!" ”
"!"
"!"
"!"
Da Niu and others are all proud, and they drink it all. Liu Yuan's expression froze, and he said happily: "Happy!" Let's go! ”
The people in the pavilion immediately rushed to see each other off, parting is always sad, many old women weep and sigh, and their hearts are full of hope. Lu Pheasant stood under the old locust tree, never left for a long time, she looked at the red rising sun, maybe no matter where Liu Yuan went, he could be at this time.
