Chapter 42: The Great Prince Is Back (Ask for Collection)
As soon as it was dawn, Tong Hang got up. Put leggings on your legs, and then go out to greet the fool and go out for morning exercises together.
In his previous life, Tong Hang's least favorite thing to do was to get up early and exercise in the morning. At night, you can play video games with fox friends and dog friends, or eat supper, or play cards and rub hemp, it is normal to make trouble until two or three o'clock, go to bed early, who wants to get up so early and sleepwalk? But it can't be done here, at night with animal oil lamps lit, nostrils full of black smoke, or candles lit, the smoke is less, and the money burns quickly. An arm candle costs 20 yuan, and it can only be lit for four or five nights, which is too expensive! One stone of rice is only ten yuan, and six or seven people can eat for a month. Whether it's lighting an animal oil lamp or a candle, the light is really unaccustomed to those who have enjoyed electric lighting, not to mention that there is nothing to do. Some time ago, Xiaocui was still there, and she could still talk and move her hands and feet at night, but now Xiaocui is gone, no one is talking, there is nothing to do, so she can only look at the top of the roving mosquito net, so that her consciousness is a little lost in thinking about Xiaocui and then falls asleep. It is often the case that I go to bed as soon as it gets dark, and I wake up early before dawn.
It was already dawn, Tong Hang and Hanzi ran a few laps along Suishan, sweating profusely and standing in front of the boulder of "Suishan", gasping for breath. This small Suishan Mountain, with a radius of only four or five hundred meters, is about the size of a football field and no more than three stories high. But the mountains are densely forested and overgrown with shrubs. On this July day, the weather was hot, but in the forest in the morning, a cool breeze couldn't help but make the two of them feel refreshed.
"Let's go into the woods and go up the hill to have a look." Tong Hang said.
The two were just about to go up the mountain, when Mu'er shouted from the side of the courtyard: "Eighth son! Eight sons! ”
"Let's go back." Tong Hang had no choice but to give up the idea of going up the mountain and go back with Hanzi.
"Eighth prince, the eldest prince has returned from Beijing." Mu'er hurriedly said: "The old lady instructed, please go to the backyard atrium alone, and discuss important matters." ”
"Go now?" When Tong Hang heard this, he hurriedly asked.
"Yes, Childe."
"Okay, I'll go now. Hanzi, you pack your things first, and when I come back, we will go out after breakfast. "Yesterday, I heard someone in Jizi say that the little leper once went to Haizhou with a few beggars to carry a cloth bag and hire a car, and I don't know what was in the bag. No matter what it is, you have to chase it and see, this is the only clue you have heard in the past few days, if you don't take a look, you won't give up.
Tong Hang hurriedly ran to the backyard. When I came to the backyard, I saw that the atmosphere in the backyard was very tense, and the stocky family members who usually followed the old lady were guarding several courtyard gates in the atrium of the backyard, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
He kept running into the atrium, only to see the old lady, the old lady, the third lady, and the second son, and a pair of young people sitting on the other side. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen the old lady, I've seen the lady, I've seen the second son, and I've seen the third lady." Everyone nodded their heads.
Tong Hang had never met the eldest son, and although the eldest young lady had always been at home, they had never met or met. But in today's meeting, the fool also knows that the young couple must be it. He turned around and walked over, and Shi Li said, "I've seen the eldest son, I've seen the young lady." ”
The eldest prince's tense face loosened slightly, and he nodded. The young lady only nodded. Tong Hang hurriedly sat down on the chair at the bottom and listened with his head bowed.
"Everybody's here. This morning, Wen'er also returned from Jingshi. You already know that your lord was killed in Shuntianfu. The old lady said.
Tong Hang couldn't help but raise his head in surprise, but saw that the old lady was wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief. If you look closely, everyone has red eyes.
"Our Li family is in a big disaster, Ba'er, are you leaving alone or fleeing with us?" The old lady said to Tong Hang: "If you leave alone, we will send you a hundred taels of silver for your life, and Lao Qian's family and Mu'er will also go with you." Although your lord asked you to be kind to you, but he didn't say why, we can only do this. Everyone also looked at Tong Hang.
Tong Hang knew that leaving the Li family in this situation was obviously much less dangerous. followed the Li family, was met by his enemy, and there were no eggs under the nest?
The second son, Li Xunzhou, looked at Niu Ba eagerly, he really hoped that Tong Hang would choose to leave the Li family alone, so that he would have one less person to compete for the family property, and there was no need to bother to calculate him.
The eldest prince was silent for a while, raised his head to look at Tong Hang, and said: "Niu Ba, I don't know why my father ordered us to treat you so well, and I don't know who asked our Li family, but my father once told me that as long as our Li Mansion can protect you, we must protect you." Now, my father has died in Beijing, I don't know the truth, I went home to listen to the old lady's analysis, only to know that it was the enemy of the feud, seeing that my Li family itself is difficult to protect, you are also ...... Go on your own. ”
The eldest young lady also nodded beside her and said, "Ba'er, take care." ”
Tong Hang didn't expect that there were still people in the Li Mansion who cared so much about him, and he couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart. He got up, bowed deeply to the people in this hall, and after a long time got up, he said, "As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring." I don't know what kind of kindness the entrusted person has to the lord to force the lord to make such a heavy promise, but I know that the Li Mansion has raised me for a few years, and this is more than a drop of grace. ”
The old lady nodded and said, "Ba'er, I know that you are a sensible child, but now our Li Mansion is facing the disaster of annihilation. At this time, it is a wise choice for you to leave us, we ask you to leave, and outsiders who know will praise you for knowing the pros and cons. ”
Tong Hang couldn't help but suffocate, the old lady obviously misunderstood, thinking that he was afraid that outsiders would say that he was unjust.
The old lady also persuaded and said: "Ba'er, what the old lady said is a good word, you have to listen to it, don't follow us into this unwarranted disaster." ”
The second son, Li Xunzhou, saw that Tong Hang was alive and dead and did not listen to persuasion, it seems that it is really like what his mother said, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he must covet his own family property. He got up and said loudly: "Niu Ba, you are not from our Li Mansion, you should leave quickly." ”
Tong Hang knew what Li Xunzhou was worried about, smiled slightly, and said to the old lady: "Madame must have received the master's orders, so there is an arrangement for me to be my son." Since this is the master's arrangement, and I am the son of the Li Mansion, although I am not surnamed Li, what is the difference between the surname and the surname Li? Old lady, the younger one is the same as the eldest son and the second son, I am also a grandchild, in this big disaster, how can I be single? ”
Li Xun heard the words "same grandchildren" on Monday, and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Tong Hang said categorically: "Old lady, if you leave alone, don't say it again, forgive me for being difficult to obey." The Li Mansion has raised me for many years, and the dog also loves the family, not to mention me? With that, he stepped out of the atrium.
The old lady was silent.
The old lady secretly blamed herself in her heart, thinking that she actually used Ba'er as a chess piece in order to calculate the family property for her daughter, who knew that he was so sincere. She muttered, "It's been a long time to see people's hearts." ”
