Chapter 31: The End of the Child
After Dai Zong left Cui's family, he didn't bother to go back to find Song Jiang, he only wandered on the road, and for a while he only felt that although the world was big, he had nowhere to go, and his heart was full of bitterness.
"I was originally a cultivator, but I coveted the wealth in the red dust, and went out of the mountain to become a prison section of the imperial court, only saying that it was a good practice among the public gates, who knew that in this kind of system, people would have to become bad if they were not eliminated, and there was no other way out! Later, I met this Brother Song Jiang, and I only said that I could re-establish the feng shui fire from now on, don't be a shijie, who knew that in the end, it was a failure! I only hate that I don't know anyone, and I am bound by righteousness, but I am against the four springs of Ximen, and now the four seas are intolerable, and I have no owner, where am I going? β
When the first ray of sunlight hit Dai Zong's face, Shenxing Taibao suddenly brightened: "Why don't I go south to find Gongsun Sheng and Fan Rui?" If you can find it, you will follow the side, enter the Tao with piety, choose a place to live in seclusion if you can't find it, or enter the Tao with a pious heart - after experiencing this red dust, and never looking back, it has really become a pig's hair on the neck - into the mane (Dai Zong) of animals! β
Thinking about it in my heart, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and daxiao three times, dragged my footsteps away, and went straight to the south road, and never looked back.
Poor Song Jiang and the others were hiding in the mountain recess, still waiting for Dai Zong. The child kept crying, wanting his mother, wanting his father, but not Uncle Song Jiang, and the brothers of Song Jiang and Song Qing were tossed and sweating profusely. Wu Yong's words were repeated and complained: "If this son's cry summons the pursuers, the lives of you and my brother will be ruined in his hands!" Song Jiang just smiled - "Military advisor, no, definitely not!" β
After dawn, he didn't wait for Dai Zong, but waited for Wang Xiaohu. This guy was merry and happy in Qingfeng Town at the foot of the mountain, but when he heard Qin Ming attacking the mountain, Wang Xiaohu, who was frightened, couldn't care about the difficulties with Gongming's brother, and lay down in the bed, not daring to move. As a result, early in the morning, the local Baozheng knocked the gong to calm the people, and only then did he know that it was the government that attacked the mountain instead of Qin Ming, and Wang Xiaohu made up his mind.
This determination reminds me of the money that fell in my house on Qingfeng Mountain. If it was really Qin Ming, Wang Xiaohu would have died of the heart to go back, but he knew that it was the officers and soldiers who attacked the mountain, and the greed for money was alive again - although I, Wang Ying, was a little more proficient, but he was also a good martial artist, and those officers and soldiers who were just fish and flesh people, foxes and fake tigers, Lao Tzu had not taken it seriously!
Relying on the familiarity of the terrain -- Wu Yong's escape route was still planned with the help of Wang Xiaohu -- Wang Xiaohu took his knife and touched it up Qingfeng Mountain again, he only thought about killing the horse pistol and moving his small treasury back from the trophies of the officers and soldiers, who knew that he would run into Song Jiang and them halfway.
When the brothers met, there was a mixture of joy and sorrow - Wang Xiaohu was visiting the kiln when the cottage had an accident, and his face was not good, so he hugged Song Jiang and cried to cover his face with affection; What about Song Jiang? There is no Li Kui around, no Hua Rong, no Dai Zong, the second Song Dynasty and the second Kong Wu are all ordinary, and now there is a king dwarf tiger suddenly, since there is no general in Shu, Liao has to be a pioneer, so he is enveloped.
Therefore, Song Jiang and Wang Xiaohu were like officials of the Celestial Empire meeting, everyone was awe-inspiring, and no one mentioned the words of visiting the kiln, and after expressing his pure brotherly feelings, Wang Xiaohu wiped away his tears and asked: "If you hadn't heard your nephew crying, you would have almost missed your brother - where is my brother going?" β
Wu Yong said next to him: "Look! Since this widow's cry can attract Wang Ying's brothers, do you know if he can recruit Qin Ming's pursuers? β
Wang Xiaohu slapped his leg and said: "It turns out that the military advisor is still in the dark!" As he spoke, he told the officials and soldiers about pretending to be Qin Ming, and when Wu Yong heard it, he was so angry that his beard flew - he knew that this was the case, and two hundred people were guarding the mountain danger, and the officers and soldiers could not cross the thunder pool in the dark night no matter what! But nowβit's too late to say anything!
Compared with Wu Yong, Song Jiang's mood at this time was not much higher, and he could barely hold back his grief, Song Jiang asked Wang Xiaohu: "I and the military adviser took people out of the mountain, ready to redo the business - Brother Wang Ying, why did you enter the mountain?" β
Wang Xiaohu still has the mountain of lust hidden on his head, and if he adds a greedy for money, he will be even more faceless, so Wang Xiaohu Yi Bo Yundi said: "Brother can rest assured that Brother Gongming's brother is not in danger, so he does not avoid the axe, but also comes to respond!" β
Song Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this, so he tearfully took Wang Xiaohu's hand and said, "Brother, thanks to youβwhen Brother Dai Zong comes back, let's go away and fly high!" β
Wang Xiaohu thought that his small vault had flown away, and his heart was like a knife, and he shook Song Jiang's hand with tears, imagining what it would be like to kick this black fat man off the cliff - at this time, Song Jiang suddenly mentioned Dai Zong, Wang Xiaohu was stunned, and he couldn't let go of his imagination, and hurriedly said: "Brother Dai Zong? On the way I came, I saw him flying south, and I called him, but he ignored him! β
Everyone looked at each other for a while. Wu said with his heart: "Isn't this the legendary tree falling and scattering?" "But I still have to put up the shelf-" Brother Dai Zong must be chasing the whereabouts of the Hua Rong brothers' family! β
These words triggered Wang Xiaohu's multi-level and all-round rich associations. Song Jiang was stunned for a long time, sighed, picked up his son and said, "Let's go!" Don't ask the officers and soldiers to catch up! β
Wang Xiaohu patted his chest and said, "No matter how many officers and soldiers there are, what are you afraid of him?" As soon as we bluffed, those guys were all gone! Even if there are ten or twenty Miao people left, the brothers can also send them away! β
Although what Wang Xiaohu said was also the truth, but more things are better than less things, and everyone still went out of the mountain as fast as one foot. When they came to a large town in front of them, they did not go away.
It stands to reason that this place is still close to the left side of Qingfeng Mountain, and it is difficult to ensure that the officers and soldiers do not chase and flee to search for it, so it should run as far as it wants. But Song Jiang's son couldn't stand the cold and suddenly fell ill - this is actually what Hua Meimei is used to, she saw that her brother's two sons had taken a medicinal bath since childhood, how much suffering the little ones had suffered, how much treatment they had suffered, and they couldn't intervene as an aunt, so she had already sworn in her heart that her son would never take this old road in the future! really has a son, Hua Meimei even regarded him as a stand-in for Song Jiang, holding it on his head for fear of falling, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, and always caring for him, Qin Ming and Hua Rong had to look at him in vain - so under pampering, the child is like a lamp man, and it will be broken when the wind blows.
Song Jiang saw that his son was burning and coughing, he was stubborn, he didn't leave, he had to stop and ask for a doctor, Song Qing and Erkong also stood on the side of his brother's master. Wu Yong and Wang Xiaohu had no choice, so they had to be tied up.
Who knows the problem - no money! Everyone is used to being a hero in Liangshan, and they have never been the only ones who have chased the officers and soldiers, when have they been chased by the officers and soldiers? Because he had no experience and was in a hurry, no one thought of putting the purse on his wallet. Wang Xiaohu still has a few village money, but this guy is greedy for money, especially when it comes to such a fatal time, he has to save it on the blade. What is it if a child is sick? This kind of trouble-inducing crybaby died early! Therefore, Wang Xiaohu made a fortune in a muffled voice, and only pushed the difficulty.
Song Jiang and Song Qing didn't say a word, they took off the jade on their hats, and the ring on their hands was removed.
On the way, everyone has discussed the draft, entered the town, first look for the pawnshop, Wu Yong stepped forward to pour bitter water, said that there are two brothers outside the wood staff of Yuncheng (Song Jiang and Song Qing), with the tent (Wu Yong), Chang Sui (Kong Ming Kong Liang), scholar (Wu Liang brother), coachman (Wang Xiaohu) to Dengzhou to do seafood, who knows that the officers and soldiers on the road to catch and steal Qingfeng Mountain, one is crashing into the net, was robbed of a small onion mixed with tofu - one Qing (green) two white, brought out to see the world The children are scared of illness. I had no choice but to take the hidden surplus wealth as an emergency, hoping that the court of the cabinet would give a fair price.
When the pawnshop heard this, he scolded: "This gang of officials and bandits, they have them in Kuotian, they have them in forced demolition, they also have them in looting and robbery, and when they see the thieves, they also have them who flee when they hear the wind - if the head of Liangshan Ximenqing occupies Qingzhou last year and does not leave, our people will suffer less - this gentleman can rest assured, I will give you a real estimate of the shop!" β
So, two pieces of broken crown jade, four broken gold rings, three broken jade rings, and a broken gold chain, full of thirteen broken copper coins, the pawnshop Chaofeng said very sincerely: "This is already for the sake of the villagers, to give the greatest discount!" β
Song Jiang gritted his teeth behind his back, and swore that when he made his fortune, he would definitely bring someone to smooth out this black-hearted pawnshop! When the time comes, I will vomit out what I have eaten, and I will fill in what has been pitted, so that all of you will die, and none of you will be left behind!
The group took the money and went to the store again, but no one had a road guide issued by the government. So Wu Yong had to tell the lie again, and the innkeeper couldn't help but feel compassion, so after collecting ten times the room money, he took in these people - in the words of the shopkeeper, I took in you people of unknown origin, and I only charged ten times the room price, which is already very cheap.
There is one more person on Song Jiang's revenge list, but at this time, he can't care about being ruthless in his stomach, so he will go to the doctor first. Who knew that the shopkeeper in this store and the shopkeeper of the coffin shop in the town were close to each other, and under the full mouthful of tickets, they invited Mr. Hu, the wild doctor who lived in the Dragon King Temple in the town, to come - although the mosquito legs are small, they are also meat!
Speaking of this Mr. Hu's medical skills, he had a fight with Zhao Troublemaker in Qinghe County in the past, and he was the only person who was cited as a confidant by the shopkeeper of the coffin shop in this town. But the shopkeeper solemnly introduced this Mr. Hu as the most famous doctor in the town, and Song Jiang, whose eyes were dark, had no choice but to believe it, so Mr. Hu stepped forward to ask the child to ask him about it.
Wu Yong hesitated next to him: "Dare to ask sir, how is your method of taking the pulse different from others?" β
Mr. Hu sneered, "What do you know? I am entering the Tao with Buddhism, and my unique 'one-finger Zen' is like a cloud compared to secular quacks! The frog at the bottom of the well, Hugh has to be noisy next to him - go! Go! β
The shopkeeper said: "Our Mr. Hu is a lonely national player, and the patients he has treated have not relapsed, who doesn't know in the town and outside the town?" -- The guest officers don't have to look at me like that, if the villain says a word, I won't live to be twenty years old! β
Dare to say this, the shopkeeper has a reliance - first, he is telling the truth, ten out of ten people who have been treated by Mr. Hu have gone into the coffins of his relatives, and if the disease of the dead will recur, it will be terrible; Second, he is twenty-one years old this year, and even if there are any loopholes in his words that have not been checked, he will inevitably turn evil into good fortune and be lucky in death.
Song Jiang and the others couldn't help but believe what Dian Xiaoer said, and everyone looked at Mr. Hu with admiring eyes - the Celestial Empire is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and they couldn't imagine that in such a small town, there was such a great power who was comparable to the divine doctor An Daoquan. It's a rare luck to meet such a strange person when you are in trouble!
Mr. Hu, who was dignified, finished diagnosing his pulse, and his eyebrows were so wrinkled that he could make the "click" sound when the copper lock was closed. Song Jiang's heart also "clicked", and he asked in a trembling voice: "Divine doctor, ...... is this disease of children?" β
Mr. Hu shook his head and said nothing, Song Jiang was affectionate, knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "The divine doctor is merciful, as long as he cures the child, he is bankrupt, and he is willing!" β
"This guy is low!" Mr. Hu was amused in his heart, and while pretending to help Song Jiang up, he said secretly, "Lao Tzu also wants to earn your bankrupt money, but unfortunately he doesn't have that ability, so we have to mash garlic in a casserole - let's buy and sell it with a hammer!" β
Looking at Song Jiang with a look of hope on his face, Mr. Hu twisted his beard and said: "Although your son is seriously ill, in my opinion, it is easy to hear!" But there is one thing, there is a main medicine in this prescription, but it is very rare, if you give it to your son, in the future, if someone gets sick and asks me to come to my door, those who know will say that I am lacking medicinal materials, and those who do not know will say that my medical skills are inferior, and everyone will be gold, will not it ruin my reputation? β
Song Jiang's knees were weak again, and his mouth was full of tickets: "Divine doctor!" Miracle Doctor! You are kind enough to save the child! Although the villain suffered, but the family is still quite good, God healed the child, I played the gold medal, step by step, from Yuncheng to here, so that the god doctor is famous all over the world! β
The shopkeeper said: "This guest officer is pitiful, Mr. Hu is gracious!" β
Mr. Hu sighed: "That's it! The heart of the healer's parents, I will sell the gold as scrap iron! The guest paid the money with one hand, and the second child went back with me to get the medicine, and we were clean in both of them! β
Song Qing asked worriedly, "How much?" β
Mr. Hu on the back of his hand: "It must be fifty times!" β
Song Qing gasped and pleaded: "Divine doctor, the family has a lot of money, and there is a temporary inconvenience. We can't afford to make up such a large number of people in distress, can we ......?"
The shopkeeper also helped: "Mr. Hu, your price should only be used on the emperor, how can you use it on the guests?" At this time, take a good heart and leave as much room as you can see each other in the future. When everyone heard this, they were glad that they had met a good person.
In fact, the shopkeeper thought one step further - if these customers were cheated out of their money by Mr. Hu now, and took bird feathers to buy coffins after taking medicine?
So, the righteous and courageous shopkeeper turned against the owner as a guest, and fought for Song Jiang and them to talk about the number. was noisy, but he heard Song Jiang break off: "No need to say more!" "With one hand, a night pearl drips and turns in the palm of his hand, and the light fills the room.
This bead, Song Jiang hid it with meat, and he didn't do it just now, because this thing is priceless, and it is too ostentatious when it is exposed. Now that the money is not enough, the beads are scraped together, and it is important to treat his son.
Mr. Hu and the shopkeeper opened their mouths widely, and they were all stunned, and they didn't know how long the saliva flowed. There were 10,000 voices screaming in the hearts of the two: "It's gone!" This time it's sent! After this ticket, it will be enough for a lifetime! β
They were in a daze, but Song Jiang was anxious: "Healing is like fighting a fire, and the divine doctor won't take me to redeem the medicine?" He was afraid that the shopkeeper was a rough man, and his hands and feet were unstable and he had sprinkled medicine, so he had to go in person.
Mr. Hu asked reluctantly, "This bead ...... True...... Is it really for the villain? β
Song Jiang got impatient, stuffed the beads into Doctor Hu's hand, and pushed him out of the door.
Finally, the medicine was redeemed, Song Jiang personally guarded the torment, the stove fire reflected on his face, and the red light on his face revealed endless hope. Song Qing was by his side, and the two brothers smiled at each other from time to time, and the incense of the Song family must be passed on like this stove fire.
After the medicine was fried and dried to the right temperature, the child started crying, but he didn't open his mouth. At this time, it is not good if you are not ruthless, the two brothers of the Song family held down the child, pinched the nose of the other, Kong Ming Kong Liang helped pour it into the mouth, although it was sprinkled, but in the end it was still a child who could not resist the adult.
After taking the medicine, the child cried, crying so much that Song Jiang scratched his heart, so he had to hide outside the store, knelt under the big tree next to the store, and prayed sincerely: "Taishang Laojun, if you come to the Buddha, the Jade Emperor...... There are also the gods of Zhou Tian, so they promised 10,000 scriptures and 1,000 views, just to bless my child with medicine and a long life......"
I don't know how long I knelt down, the child's cry gradually became smaller, and when it was gone, Song Jiang said happily: "Okay!" The child is asleep! Tiptoeing back to the house, the child slept there with a pale face in the dim light, Song Jiang came forward to wipe the saliva on his son's mouth with pity, but he was shocked - the child still had residual warmth, but he was out of gas.
For a while, Song Jiang was like falling into an ice cave, standing on the ground for a long time, and a voice in his heart shouted desperately: "Don't be afraid!" Unafraid! It's my hallucination! It's all an illusion! You can't fool me! A gust of wind blew into the house, and the lamp swayed a few times - Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, isn't the child still breathing? Panting is spraying on my hands!
Song Qing also crept in, holding a bowl in his hand, and the bowl was still bubbling with white gas. It turned out that he was not idle, and when Song Jiang was kneeling and worshipping God, he went around to the town to buy sugar. Waiting for the idle red cane sugar, Song Qing was still too rough and couldn't look at it, so he finally found a place to sell cotton white sugar, which was as white as a snowflake, five hundred dollars a cent, and ordinary people couldn't afford to eat it. Song Qingyi waved his hand and bought three yuan of money, rushed back happily, and washed sugar water to moisten his nephew's bitterness.
Afraid of startling the sleeping child, Song Qing didn't dare to make a loud noise, just moved his lips silently, and said to his brother: "White sugar!" Sugar! But then Song Qing smiled dumbly - how can he drink sweet water if he doesn't wake up his nephew?
Putting his hand on his nephew's neck, Song Qing's color suddenly changed, and with a sound of "dangchang", a large porcelain bowl had fallen to pieces on the ground like a broken heart. This is exactly what it is:
How many places do I ask God to go against my wishes, who is a rush sweet? But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
