Chapter 10: Gloomy Ecstasy
With the sliding rod, the old man surnamed Gao immediately decided to set off tomorrow. Even if a few rains still fall from time to time, Zhang Liang had an idea, tied a few frames, and spread a layer of banana leaves and linen cloth on them, so that there was an extra "canopy". It can be shaded from the sun and rain, although it looks simple. Well, I almost came up with this idea, and many people thought about it. Begin to admire this rural farmer.
Ever since the chaise longues, benches, etc., they have been overworked, and three or four people can sit on one stool.
I don't feel like I'm squeezed. The old man surnamed Gao was lying on the recliner, and there was a big and three rough man around him who was chasing mosquitoes next to him, how do you look at this, Zhang Liang felt that it was a little disobedient.
Everyone chatted easily, only Gongsun, the guy who couldn't remember the name of Zhang Liang (mainly because he didn't know those two words,) looked unhappy. When he first wiped his sword, there was an ugly mark, which seemed to be a roll. was about to have a seizure, but he looked at the relationship between his companion and Zhang Erlang who suddenly got closer, and the master nodded with satisfaction next to him. I can only endure it.
The old man surnamed Gao was talking to Zhang Liang, and just looked at Zhang Liang on the ground with a tree branch to draw symbols, although he couldn't understand it, but it seemed to be related to the arithmetic of the nine chapters, and he didn't dabble deeply. There are also a few simple words written, and three of them are wrong. Still surprised, this Shudi style of learning is so strong? If you meet a farmer casually, what you get used to seems to be very different from what you have heard. asked Zhang Liang if he had ever read and was literate. Zhang Liang thought to himself, I have been reading books for more than ten years, what kind of eyes, why do you look at me as if I am illiterate. I thought about it again. Nowadays, Douda can't write a basket of characters, isn't he illiterate. I had to talk nonsense, in my early years, I learned some from my family, and if I knew a few, I would be able to write my own name.
That's right, the old man patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder, I walked all the way to Shudi, and I met a lot of people, but there were few who knew how to read. If you look at my series, I look shrewd, and many of them don't know how to write their names.
Then he asked Zhang Liang, life is still satisfactory, is there only the three of you at home? The old man just wanted to investigate the people's feelings, and he always thought that Zhang Ling'er and Wang were Zhang Liang's closest relatives.
Zhang Liang opened his mouth, as a traveler, he naturally hid a lot of things on his mind, and he had been deliberately avoiding them for several months. I don't want to believe it, I don't want to admit it, I can't accept it. Thinking about my parents and brother at home. I haven't talked to them for a while, especially my mother, who must be very worried. In the past, half a month did not contact home, and my mother would always call when she counted the time, worried that she was working outside, helpless, what to do if she was unhappy, what to do if she was bullied, and what to do if no one confided. At that time, Zhang Liang may not have experienced much of the care and love that can be enjoyed at any time. But now, Zhang Liang wants to understand, it seems that he can't do it. Thinking that I haven't seen my parents and family for a long time, maybe I won't see them for the rest of my life. Unconsciously and overflowing with tears.
The atmosphere around me was quiet. Everyone was silent, some with their heads bowed, perhaps thinking about something. The old man looked at Zhang Liang silently, feeling that Zhang Liang's feelings were sincere at this moment, and he was immersed in sadness. Seeing Zhang Liang at such an age, he didn't see his wife and father. Perhaps, the husband and wife are deeply in love, or the kindness of father and son is difficult to repay. It's hard to let go. This is very different from what I saw and heard on the road when I came, only the folk customs are light and thin, and it is difficult to educate. couldn't help but glance at Zhang Lianggao a few times, but he would be wrong about Zhang Liang's intentions.
By the afternoon, the hunting had returned, and only a rabbit and a pheasant had been caught. I don't dare to go far, the mountains and forests are too dense, and if you don't pay attention, you will get lost. Looking at such a cold taste, everyone was very dissatisfied, there were more than 30 people with such a little game. It seems that I have boiled and drunk the soup, but fortunately it is not far from Chengdu Mansion, so it is good to endure it. Although the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, it is unbearable to be poor. I heard that Chengdu Mansion in Yizhou should now be called Chengdu Mansion in Jiannan Province. Prosperous, compared with the capital Chang'an, not much more. It's just that Shu Road is too difficult, blocking thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
On the third day, the group was finally ready to leave and pack up. Zhang Liang was reluctant to go to Qianwei County for the time being, so Zhang Niu led the way for them. The old man surnamed Gao, a few people went down the mountain first to meet with the people of Zhang Niu's family. Looking at the trilogy, it was not too troublesome to fix all the reclining chairs and benches on the back of the mule, Zhang Liang's eyes widened: "How can you do this, these are all kept by me for my own use, they are not worth a few dollars, so far, you still have to take them away, do it yourself, when the time comes, why do you bother with poor mules"
The leader in the trilogy laughed: "Zhang Erlang, don't feel distressed, my master has taken a fancy to it, if the others are happy, it's too late, so I hurriedly sent it to my master, and my master said that it is to buy you." After speaking, he took out a silver ingot and handed it to Zhang Liang, saying that it was inconvenient to carry copper coins when he was out of the house, but this silver was no worse than copper coins, and a little bit was worth a lot of copper coins. I was afraid that Zhang Liang would not know the goods, so he explained. Zhang Liang lifted it in his hand. I don't know how much, but I know that I think I can exchange a lot of copper plates.
The leader said: "My master said, I like you kid very much, if you encounter something very difficult to solve, you can come to Chengdu Mansion to find him, ask people about the long history, just go." Zhang Liang was stunned: "Aren't you in business, Gao Changshi, it sounds like an official name, isn't it that Gao Lao has such a relative as Gao Changshi," the leader smiled and said nothing.
Since the group left, the place has returned to its former tranquility. Zhang Liang was not as quiet as before, Zhang Ling'er and Wang looked silently in their eyes.
It was night, after Zhang Liang fell asleep, the dream was bizarre, always changing the appearance of his parents and brother, in all kinds of strange scenes, calling Zhang Liang's name, over and over again, Zhang Liang replied, even if it was in front of them, they didn't seem to see themselves, couldn't hear their answers, Zhang Liang was anxious, anxious, but woke up from the dream.
Zhang Liang came back to his senses and realized that this was a dream, really thinking about it day and night. Suddenly, I found that Wang and Zhang Ling'er were sitting around their bed, and the room had already been lit with sesame oil lamps.
Wang's face was concerned, "I feel better now," it turned out that Zhang Liang was in a dream, calling his parents, brother, and in a hurry, he actually shouted out and woke up Wang and Zhang Ling'er.
Wang sighed heavily: "They are all hard-working people, two years ago, I also dreamed of Ling'er Aya every night, just like you are now, you have also whispered twice before, but it was better at that time." ”
Under the warm inspiration of Wang's family, Zhang Liang unconsciously said: "I dreamed of my parents, my brother is calling me, I am homesick," and cried.
I have wanted to ask many times before, what about your parents and brothers, why did you end up here?
"My parents and brothers, I, I will never see each other again, I am left alone, come to this inexplicable place, I have no home. What should I do in the future? ”
Zhang Ling'er was also infected, crying and saying that she missed Aye. Wang also sobbed and said, "Good boy, don't cry, when I see you crying, I think of my deceased child who is as old as you."
Zhang Ling'er cried even more, "I don't have Aya, you don't have your parents and family, can we be your family?" Woo, you look so similar to my Aye, and you are so good to me, is it good for you to be my Aye, woo. ”
Zhang Liang froze, looked at Zhang Ling'er's earnest eyes, and then looked at Wang's slightly trembling body, crystal eyes, and expectant gaze in the faint light
Zhang Liang has been in the Tang Dynasty for three months, has been dazed, dazed, looking around, I don't know where to go, and I can't find someone to talk to, thinking about the past few months, Wang's meticulous care, feeling this real warmth, my heart is like numbness.
plopped down and knelt down, looked at Wang, who was about the same age as his mother, and called out to A-Niang. Wang's emotions could no longer be suppressed, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and he hurriedly helped Zhang Liang, a good child, a good child, a good child for his mother.
At this time, Zhang Ling'er wiped away her tears, jumped around the house, and shouted: "I have Aya again, I have Aya again"
All three were so emotional that they couldn't calm down all night.
Zhang Liang's heart seemed to have settled, no longer when he came, muddy and empty. Thinking about my parents and brother who may never see each other again in this life. I only hope that they will not be too sad and sad, and hope that my brother will take care of his parents, Zhang Liang will bury his longing for this distant place deep in his heart and treasure it. It's a goodbye.
Those who have lost their souls are the only ones!
