Yang Jia and his entourage arrived at the main hall of the Yamen and met Fan Zhubo. Sure enough, as previously conjectured, the county should send ten scattered officials to escort grain and grass materials, Lin'an County is also a relatively large county, the French of the Great Jin Dynasty stipulates that each county has more than 1,500 households and eighteen scattered officials, this time sending ten people to escort grain and grass, and eight people staying behind to maintain many trivial matters of the county government, which can be regarded as a decent move.

Although no one wants to continue the work, who calls himself a county official! Humble status, reprimanded at will! When everyone was about to bow their heads and agree, they heard a humanitarian: "Fan is Bo! My old mother is sick, and everyone in my family is urging me to go back to serve my mother! Can you give me a leave of absence? After speaking, he flattered and kept nodding to the Lord.

It turned out that Lu Chun in Yang Jia's party stood up and asked for leave, Lu Chun was several years older than Yang Jia, his name sounded quite elegant, but he had inverted triangular eyes, thin eyebrows, extremely thin body, and the jaws on both sides of his cheeks were extremely prominent, which made people associate the word treacherous at a glance.

Seeing such a person in front of him, the lord nodded and bowed, and couldn't help but feel a chill, and said coldly with a gloomy face: "Why don't you want to go!?" If everyone is seriously ill like you, then who will deliver this grain and grass! Who is to blame!? Besides, this time the grain will be transported back and forth for four or five days, and after the grain is delivered, I will give you leave and let you visit your mother. Well, I see that you are quite clever on weekdays, and you should lead the team this time to transport grain! The exact departure time will be told to you tomorrow! ”

Lu Chun's face turned green when he heard the master Bo say this, he didn't succeed in asking for leave, but was assigned a captain's position, if there was a little bit of a mistake on the way, the first person to blame would be himself, the captain!

Seeing that the anchor was playing with Lu Chun like this, everyone nodded yes without saying a word, and then retreated.

On the streets of Lin'an at noon, the sun is slightly dazzling, the warm sunlight is sprinkled on the streets and the houses on both sides, many idle residents in the county all run out to bask in the sun, and they are chatting about firewood, rice, oil and salt next to each other, and the whole Lin'an County looks particularly lazy.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no chores in the county office, Yang Jia was busy, ran out to go shopping, looking at the life on the street, Yang Jia only felt that the fatigue all over his body suddenly disappeared, and immediately slowed down, holding his hands behind his back like an ancient old man, and slowly and leisurely strolled.

I didn't take a few steps, but around the corner I saw a sturdy boy sitting on the ground and crying loudly! In the depths of love, he directly hit the ground with his head and kept hitting the ground, and the crying was called a broken liver and intestines! The crowd of onlookers couldn't bear to look directly and looked down. Seeing this, Yang Jia felt pity in his heart, hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, patted the young man's shoulder and comforted: "What happened to this brother, why are you crying so much?" ”

But the young man did not answer, but exclaimed, "I am not filial!" I'm incompetent! I let my old mother, who gave birth to me and raised me, suffer in bed, I am not as good as a beast, ......! ”

When Yang Jia heard this, he immediately understood more than half of it, so he stood up and said to the crowd of people watching around: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this person is from my village, and if you look at it again, everyone will disperse!" ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt that people were crying there, and they were watching the excitement here, and they seemed to be very cold-blooded, so they dispersed and were busy with other things.

Yang Jia saw that the crowd had dispersed, so he sat on the ground and said, "Is it because the mother at home is sick and has no money to see a doctor and get medicine?" The young man seemed to be on his mind, looked up and cried and asked, "How do you know!?" ”

Yang Jia heard him ask rhetorically, raised his hand and pointed to the pharmacy next to him and said, "Isn't this what you said yourself?" Doesn't it tell the story of the old mother in bed and the fact that you are crying as you sit next to the pharmacy? ”

The boy finally stopped crying and spoke out about his predicament.

The young man's name is An Sheng, and he is also a northerner who moved south, but on the way, An Sheng's father died of illness, and only An Sheng and his mother came to Jiangdong safely. An Jia, who was already very poor in the north, spent the family's only remaining savings in order to cross the river, and the pillar of the family unfortunately passed away, which made matters worse. The mother and son were lonely in Lin'an County, and they lived a life of having a meal and no meal, and the sky was pitiful! A few years later, Ansheng finally grew up, and Ansheng thought that she could finally let her mother live three meals a day, but she didn't want bad luck to come! His old mother fell ill. An Sheng saw that his mother was sick, so he hurriedly ran to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, but there was no copper plate in his hand, and the pharmacy would grab the medicine for him! In a hurry, it was convenient for the pharmacy owner to quarrel, and then it was a big shot, not to mention that although An Sheng was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, he was very strong and had a talent for fighting. But the boss is also tough, he just doesn't give Ansheng the medicine, how does Ansheng know how to catch those medicines! I had to find a pharmacy to try again, and the result was still the same, but this time I didn't do it, and when I got out of the pharmacy door, my mind was full of memories of my mother's hard work to take care of me, and I couldn't help but open my mouth and cry!

Yang Jia also blushed slightly when he heard this, and put his arm around An Sheng's shoulder and said, "How can you be without a father, and how can you be without a mother!" The most bitter thing in the world is my mother, I helped with this matter today, and I'll take you to get the medicine! ”

When Ansheng heard Yang Jia say this, he was shocked and said loudly: "Really!? ”

Yang Jia nodded and said, "Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?" ”

Seeing that Yang Jia said it again, An Sheng made sure that he was not having auditory hallucinations, and immediately jumped up, shouted happily, and danced hand and hand, Yang Jia smiled and pulled his clothes and said, "Let's go!" Don't delay! An Sheng did not rush to the pharmacy, but knelt on the ground, bowed respectfully three times and said: "Today's grace will never be forgotten!" ”

After An Sheng knelt down, he pulled Yang Jia and jumped into the pharmacy next to him. After hurriedly urging the pharmacy owner to grab the medicine, the two ran to a thatched house outside the city.

Watching An Sheng make a fire and decoct medicine, knowing that he would give it to his mother, Yang Jia said: "It's a little late today, I have to go back to the Yamen, and I will come to see the old man tomorrow!" An Sheng didn't send Yang Jia because his mother needed to take care of him, but solemnly said goodbye to Yang Jia.

I don't want something unthinkable to happen the next day!

It turned out that the next morning, when the officials went to ask about the time of escorting grain and grass and the itinerary, they heard Fan Zhubo say: "I thought about it for a long time when I went back yesterday, and I regretted Lu Chun's leave yesterday. So last night, I specially looked for Lu Chun and granted him leave! As for the escort time, it will depart in three days! The itinerary first goes east to Qiantang County in Wu County, then north to Wukang, and finally to Wuxing County Government! Ao, and Lu Chun is on leave, Yang Jia will be the leader of the team this time! As soon as Yang Jia was about to open his mouth to refuse, Fan Zhubo opened his mouth to block his back road: "Young man! Gives you the opportunity to exercise more! Don't refuse, I'm also a good one! ”

The little officials began to worry when they heard that Lu Chun couldn't come, and when they heard that Yang Jia was the leader of the team this time, the worry in their hearts was finally put down!

But Yang Jia felt a faint sense of unease! It's not that he is the team leader, but the whole thing reveals a hint of weirdness, first of all, Fan Zhubo is not so kind, and regrets refusing Lu Chun's leave, it must be that Lu Chun bribed Zhu Bo behind his back! And the most important thing is that Lu Chun's actions in the past few days are not like the performance of his mother's serious illness, Yang Jia also saw Lu Chun humming a little song when he was eating! Since Lu Chun's mother is not seriously ill, what is he spending a lot of money to bribe the master to take leave!? Just evading this escort? This is more than worth the loss!
