Chapter 221: A Chance Encounter with Two Lepers

In the private port of Wanzikou Village, a small fishing boat slowly approached.

The four figures jumped onto the creaking wooden plank road one after another, and after nodding to the two companions on the original "Dawn", they hurried towards Wanzikou Village.

"Zhuzi, is there something urgent about Childe?" The monkey following behind the pillar asked in a low voice, "We've only been on the island for three days and we called us back, so I think there must be something urgent." ”

"I don't know, anyway, the son's warrant told the sentinel and the captain to gather at the new house, and we just did it." The pillar shook his head, but he didn't stop and walked faster.

"I asked the brother who got off the boat just now," the monkey also quickened his pace, but he accidentally pulled the stick wound he suffered that day, and the pain made him grin, "I heard that not only our escort team, but even Uncle Ge and those sail captains and helmsmen on the 'Dawn' have been called to the new house, it seems that the matter must not be small!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't think about what you shouldn't be pondering! The pillar of the bored aisle suddenly stood on his feet, and scolded the monkey in a low voice, "What does Childe do, he has his own reason, what are you thinking about all day?" …… It seems that there were too few twenty military sticks that day, and they didn't make you remember it longer! ”

After saying that, he glanced at the monkey fiercely and continued to stride forward.

The monkey shrunk his neck, stuck out his tongue and whispered to the other two captains beside him, "Dog * day is so temperamental...... Lao Tzu just guessed whether the son wanted to take Lao Tzu to fight the Tartars, and he didn't listen to it anymore. ”

One of the captains was a little older, about thirty years old, and Wen Wen looked like a scholar, so he pushed the monkey and said, "Let's go!" If you miss the hour later, aren't you afraid that your son will give you another twenty strokes? ”

Wait until the monkey pouts and continues on his way. The captain surnamed Mo, who was born in Zhejiang, continued quietly, "Monkey, these brothers who have struggled back from Liaodong, who are not like you, counting on one day to kill back and avenge those brothers who died in battle...... But what are we? Convoy! Didn't you listen to the pillars? It's just to escort that company...... Back to Liaodong? Don't think about it! An Ansheng is serious! ”

The monkey's face froze at what he said. kicked a small pebble on the side of the road and said, "Lao Tzu just can't figure it out...... The last time Lao Tzu fought bandits, that battle was so powerful, Lao Tzu had never seen such a neat and smooth fire shot...... If this is pulled to Liaodong, put a round on the head of the dog's * day tartar, hehe...... What a pity! ”

Their conversation drifted into the ears of the pillar not far ahead, whose face became even more gloomy, and his heart shrank into a small ball as if it had been soaked in boiling waterβ€”who could have a stronger hatred for the Tartar than he?

He wanted to kill back Liaodong more than anyone else. slaughtered a few Tartars with his own hands to avenge his parents, and he also explicitly hinted more than once that he had expressed such a wish to Childe, but every time he got Childe's smile and silence.

Never mind! We are just a guard, as long as we protect the East India Company, we will do our best to our parents.

The pillar gritted his teeth and thought, walking faster and faster under his feet.

After a while, they came to the door of the Chu family's new house, and after the report, the four of them were led to a large house in the innermost part of the front yard.

Take a look through the door. Wow, as the monkey said. In addition to the two sentinels Shen Teng and Chen Erdan and the six captains under them, Zhao Hai, the captain of the night non-harvest, Ge Bi, the boss of the "Dawn" ship, and seven or eight sail captains and helmsmen under his command were all present.

"Why is Childe in such a hurry to call us back?" The pillar touched Shen Teng's side and sat down. Asked in a low voice, the latter shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"Stand up!"

The pillar wanted to ask something more, but was interrupted by a shout from Doudou, who walked into the door and straightened his waist, and quickly followed everyone to stand up.

I saw Chu Fan and Liu Zhongwen entering together, and Doudou closed the door behind them. sat down next to Zhao Hai.

Zhu Zi noticed that Chu Fan's eyes were black and his eyes were red, obviously he hadn't slept well, but he couldn't see that Chu Fan had the slightest tiredness, but was full of high-spirited and uplifting energy; And Liu Zhongwen next to him was even more excited and excited, pursing his lips as if he was desperately trying to hide his mood.

"Brothers, I called you here today for a big event."

Chu Fan glanced at everyone in the room, and together with Liu Zhongwen, they pulled out a banner together.

The pillar stared at the three big characters on the banner that was slowly opened, and a monstrous wave was set off in his heart!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Jinan City, Jichuan Gate.

At the gate of the three-zhang Wai Urn City, a group of gatekeepers wearing tattered mandarin duck jackets, holding spears or sitting or standing, pointing and scolding the villagers who carried burdens or pushed wheelbarrows, making things difficult for no reason just to scrape a few small dollars to buy wine and drink at night; Occasionally, a small car of a rich and noble family with carved flowers came in, and the doormen drove the villagers to give way with flattering smiles, and then rushed up to snatch the large amount of copper thrown out of the car.

The second leper squatted far away at the base of the wall of a tea shop, looking at this group of elated or depressed doormen, from time to time reaching out to scratch the scar of leprosy on the top of his head that was sore from the sun, and there was no fault at all.

He escaped the catastrophe by hiding at the base of the big stone that day, and after seeing the guards empty the cottage, a fire burned the eagle's beak to the ground.

After the fire was extinguished, the penniless leper came to the west, not with any definite destination, but subconsciously trying to avoid the vicious escort - the sight of the brothers kneeling in a row and being cut to the ground was really scared enough!

Half stealing and half begging all the way, he finally got to the east gate of Jinan, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground - no matter how ruthless the guards were, they didn't dare to rush to this Shandong capital to spread wild, right?

He wanted to go into the city, but his foul-smelling clothes and the appearance of a beggar made him driven away by the doormen wielding spears before he could get close to the city gate, and he could only wander in front of these shops outside the east gate, begging for some leftovers to fill his hunger.

Looking at the beggars around him in the same situation as him, the second leper couldn't help but be ruthless: why do you have to think of going into the city - even if you beg for something, the city is much easier to ask for than here!

He was gritting his teeth, and there was a commotion at the gate of the city, and the doormen were busy one by one, and under the shouting of a small officer who looked like a general, he dispersed the villagers at the gate, and stood in two rows in the middle of the road, quite neatly.

Immediately afterwards, a mighty team with complete honor guards appeared, and in the center was a sedan chair carrying eight people.

What kind of official is this?

The second leper couldn't help but move his steps and retreated to the wall, and suddenly, his eyes widened!

Behind the official sedan chair, riding a tall horse, isn't it the Master Ou he knows? (To be continued.) )
