Chapter 147: Hand in Hand (1)
"Hongyun'er is really a narrow-minded person, I was not wrong at all." I watched him teasing.
"Ah Shi, did you come to me last night?" Shirtless turned to me and asked.
"Well, I didn't go in when you were discussing with the postmaster." I looked away from his face and asked casually, "How did you know I was here?" The guard at the door told you? ”
"Well, do you have something to do with me?"
"It's okay, I just want to ask when we will go back to Xinjiang?" I didn't dare to look at the shirtless face because I was afraid that he would find out that I had lied.
Last night, I ran to question him in a fit of rage, but when I got to the door, I retreated.
The cause of this incident has to start from innocence, since he, the wolf king, came back from Monkey Head Mountain, his addiction to hunting has been rehooked. He invited himself to go up the mountain every day to hunt and improve the food for everyone, and we naturally would not object. But yesterday, when he came back from outside the city, he took a harrier eagle and gave it to me mysteriously.
The harrier eagle had a handful of white feathers on the top of its head and half of its tail feathers, and I had laughed at it at the gray hair that had grown before I saw it in the shirtless room, so I recognized it at first sight. I wanted to scold Innocence for hunting the Harrier Eagle without mercy, but Innocence untied a small bamboo tube from the Harrier's foot and handed it to me. A small piece of silk cloth was hidden in the bamboo tube, on which only four words were written: "Medicine falls, death." ”
Drug, drug? Dead, who died? Why is Shirtless so sneakily using Harrier Eagle to deliver a message? The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, not that I was angry at who he had killed, but that he was tired of being with me this afternoon, and he looked like he was only talking about idle matters and not about political affairs. As a result, he hid it from me behind his back, and even finished the murderous deed. This feeling of being concealed makes me very uncomfortable.
I tossed and turned for half the night but couldn't sleep, and finally I put on a robe and rushed straight into his yard. But when I stood outside his door and heard what he said to the postman, the anger in my heart was instantly extinguished.
He had already told me not to plan for him, that I would not have to do anything but accompany him, and I myself had just complained in the morning, saying that I would leave it and rest for a few days. He spent the afternoon with me, talking only about the sea and the sunrise on the sea, but he did not mention the trivial matters of settling the refugees. Now, in the middle of the night, he is still discussing with Youliang how to exempt the citizens of Jinyang from a year's servitude. But here, I wanted to question him for his thoughtfulness, and I immediately withdrew in shame.
"Ashi? Are you listening to me? Wuxian pinched my chin and turned my face away, "What the hell are you thinking?" As he spoke, he was distracted. ”
"Did you just say that you would return to Xinjiang in five days?" I asked with a smile.
"Well, there shouldn't be any problem with Yin Duo and Dr. Post. You take advantage of these two days to quickly ask Si'er to pack up your luggage, and hand over the herbs and everything to the witch doctor in Yin Duo's mansion! ”
"Well, got it. It's just that why do I think Yin Duo has a grudge against the old man post? The two of them quarreled as soon as they met, and there won't be any mess after we're gone, right? ”
"The feud between the two of them has been tied for many years, but it is a personal feud, and Yu Gongyouliang still admires Yin Duo very much. Back then, Qing's father wanted to kill Yin Duo because of the construction of the barrier, but he was persuaded by Youliang. ”
"There is a difference between public and private, so to speak, the old man is still a well-informed person. In that case, I don't have to worry that he will announce his personal vendetta for Xiaobai's affairs. ”
"Qianli Shenjun actually took such an unpopular name, no wonder the post is good enough for you. This time we go back to Xinjiang, we have to take a boat, and your Xiaobai will be left to Youliang to take care of first.
"Well, that's all there is to it. It's been almost three months since it came out, and even the grass in Jinyang City is green, and Xinjiang should be a good season for flowers at this time! I wonder what happened to them? ”
"I heard that in addition to the fourth brother and the sixth brother, my brothers who came out of the house also returned to Xinjiang. In this position of the son of the world, they are afraid that they will fight for your life and death, so they are willing to give up. However, my brother has been relieved of his burden, and he may have become a fat man. ”
"Fatty?"
"I didn't tell you, my brother was a big fat man when he didn't become a son of the world?"
…………
My original plan with Wuxian was to stay in Jinyang City for half a year or a year, wait for the craftsmen to repair all the collapsed houses in the city, and wait for the fertile fields outside Jinyang City to be harvested, and then return to Xinjiang with the craftsmen and the collected field tax. However, because of Zhao's letter, our plans were completely disrupted. The ditch blocked by rocks and mud on the other side of Wuxian has not yet been dug through, the wood cut from the mountains is still piled up outside the city, and the supply of herbs on my side cannot keep up, and the latest new wounded have not had time to deal with them. Therefore, in the last five days of staying in Jinyang City, the two of us did not have time to see each other at all, and we had to be busy until late at night to take a nap from dawn.
When I was so busy that it was dark, there was still a Xiao Jiu who couldn't get rid of him, who followed me every day and begged me to take him back to Xinjiang.
"What use are you asking me? As long as Si'er agrees, I have no problem keeping her here or taking you to Xinjiang. Otherwise, even if you wear out your mouth, I won't take you away. "I fetched a bucket of water from the well and washed the mud and sand from the roots of the herbs.
Xiao Jiuyi snatched the herbs from my hand, and said while washing: "Sister Si'er doesn't see my good now, wait for two years for me to grow taller and stronger, and she will like me." Sorcerer, take me away, I can do anything, you just need to give me food. ”
"I don't lack your rations alone, I'm afraid that if I bring you, Si'er will think I'm troublesome, and you will despise yourself when you see the person Si'er likes in the future."
"What does Sister Si'er's favorite person look like?" Xiao Jiuyu hesitated.
"He, handsome and gentle when he was young, cold and calm when he grows up, good swordsmanship, and good heart. Look at your short-handed appearance, I advise you to forget it! ”
"No way!" Xiao Jiu raised his head and said angrily, "If you don't take me away, sorcerer, I'll go and tell the people in the city right now, saying that you are leaving tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow they will know, what difference do you say now? I didn't tell you, whatever you say or do, I won't take you away anyway. I grabbed the washed herbs in my hand, shook the water, and left Xiao Jiu into the room.
"Wizard, don't regret it!" Xiao Jiu shouted in the courtyard and ran away.
Soon after Xiao Jiu left, Yin Duo came to say goodbye to me with a pot of wine.
To be honest, what I fear most in my life is saying goodbye, firstly, because I am sad because of parting, and secondly, because I don't know what to say. The two of them were embarrassed at this moment, and suddenly there was a commotion outside the house.
"I'll take a look." Yin Duo got up and walked to the door. I propped up the window, and Xiao Jiu's big round face suddenly appeared in front of me, startling me a lot.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"If the wizard doesn't take me away, you, you can't leave!" He stammered a sentence and looked away.
Behind him, I saw a very frightening scene. The courtyard outside the house was crowded with people, men with burning sticks, women with bare feet, old men on crutches, and little hairy heads crying around. Outside the courtyard gate, people kept pouring in from all directions, and several people who had injured their hands and feet a few days ago climbed onto the courtyard wall with wooden sticks. Everyone was excited, and I couldn't help but panic, what the hell is going on?
"What are you doing here?" Yin Duo stood on the stone steps and asked loudly.
"Please keep the sorcerer—please stay in Jinyang—" Everyone shouted in unison as if they had made an appointment.
A group of old people in the middle of the courtyard shouted, and kowtowed on the ground, I was shocked by the scene in front of me, and I was stunned for a long time before I woke up, and hurriedly ran out and shouted: "Everyone hurry up, what is this doing, if you have something to say, let's say it slowly, don't do it again, Zidian can't stand it!" I stood in the middle of the crowd, helped one and knelt again, and knelt again after helping the other, "Cheng Yin, you can help pull people!" In a hurry, I could only ask Yin Duo for help, but he didn't seem to hear me, and only stood there and looked at me in a daze.
I knelt down with a pop in my heart, and everyone panicked.
"I can't help it, the untouchables can't afford it!"
"The sorcerer can't kneel, this is going to break our life!" The crowd was gossiping.
"If you don't get up, I'll kneel too."
This time, someone finally listened to me, and several old people helped me up, and the others also stood up one after another.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" I pulled a white-haired old man and sighed.
"The old man heard that the sorcerer was leaving, so he had to come to ask the sorcerer, our Jinyang City can't leave the sorcerer!" The old man held my hand and made a gesture to kneel again.
"Uncle, please relax." I supported the old man's thin body and pleaded, "The craftsmen and guards from the capital will stay in Jinyang." The ditch will be dug through, the house will be built, and within half a year, Jinyang City will become even better than before. ”
"But the sorcerer is gone, and the earth dragon is here again, but what can I do? The ditch dug will still be blocked, the built house will collapse, and we will not tighten these old bones when they die, but our grandchildren are still young......" The old man said this, and the women next to him all opened their throats and cried.
Looking at their expectant eyes, looking at the old people and children in this yard, I suddenly stopped talking. What shall I say? Saying that I'm just a deceitful sorcerer, saying that it doesn't matter if it's not there, the Earth Dragon is coming, and it's still coming.
"It's so lively here, who's going to tell me what's going on?" Just as I was struggling, Wuxian walked in from outside the courtyard with two soldiers.
Everyone hurriedly saluted Wuxian, and Yin Duo walked to Wuxian's side and explained in detail what everyone had prevented me from leaving the city. After hearing this, Wuxian laughed and said, "So that's the case, Zi Di, go and bring your Qingluan crown and thousand feather robes." ”
