Chapter 20: The Search for Bones
Aunt Lan was worried after all, and when she was helping her cover the quilt, she touched her head and said, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”
Ruoshu turned his head and found that everyone looked sincerely afraid, and realized that he was probably out of shape.
said: "Stiff neck." ”
Aunt Lan heard it: "That's a cold, you should take a medicine bag and apply a hot compress, how good is this, I don't have it at hand, I think it's good to quickly ask Lu San to find a nearby market to stop and buy some." ”
When Ruoshu heard this, he hurriedly said: "I didn't catch a cold, but I didn't sleep well yesterday and fell into a stiff neck." ”
Aunt Lan said: "Stiff neck is cold, can you fall stiff without cold?" ”
Ruoshu only felt bored, and replied, "Don't toss, didn't you toss enough yesterday?" ”
For a moment, there was silence in the carriage.
The reason why I was trapped in the snow yesterday was because Du Ruoxian was lost.
And the reason why Du Ruoxian got lost was because she was going to buy her brother his favorite fried chestnuts.
The reason why I remembered to buy fried chestnuts was because when I went to the White Horse Temple a few days ago, Du Ruoxian smelled the fragrance and wanted to buy it, Lan Xuan just wanted to watch the monkey show, and when the stall was dispersed, it was already gone, so Lan Xuan coaxed her to come tomorrow anyway, and buy it tomorrow.
Yesterday, Lan Xuan saw a freshly baked jujube cake on the side of the road, so she hugged Du Ruoxian and got out of the car, wanting to use this to fulfill the promise made the day before yesterday.
Yesterday was the day of the market, and there were surprisingly many people on the streets.
When Du Jiuqi heard that his sister was gone, he ran away like crazy.
When Aunt Lan heard this, the little girl was gone, and she was distressed and wanted to find it.
Lu Sanye had no choice, so he said that he and Lan Yan each brought two courtyards, and the soldiers went to look for them in two ways, but if they couldn't find it, they had to go to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city at noon to meet.
In the evening, Du Jiuqi rushed to Qin Daochuan's military camp and snatched Du Ruoxian from Lan Xuan's hands, and she was never allowed to touch her hands again.
Therefore, when Lan Xuan heard Ruoshu's words, she lowered her head and wringed her clothes and feet with her hands, as if she was about to cry.
When Aunt Lan saw that the atmosphere was not right, she quickly quipped: "Okay, okay, you are angry that I left you yesterday to find that little girl?" Aunt Lan still loves you the most in her heart, don't be angry, beware of being angry. ”
Ruoshu rolled his eyes and thought, what is this?
Said helplessly: "I really just fell into the pillow, my body is not smooth, I slept for a while, and called me when I got to the place." ”
After saying that, he turned around and pretended to be asleep.
When he arrived in Jincheng, he still rested in the Jiafang Hall, and Lu Erye went to the capital and recommended Lu Sixteen as the shopkeeper.
Lu Sixteen saw Ruoshu and them, and said to Ruoshu and Lu Sanye that they were finally here, and there was so much snow yesterday, I don't know if they were stuck on the road or staying in the capital, and they wanted to go to investigate but couldn't make the trip because of the heavy snow, so they finally fell to the ground.
Lu Sanye said: "Fortunately, General Qin helped us to stay in the Qin family's personal guard camp for a night. ”
Ruo Shu didn't want to hear Qin Daochuan's name, so he interrupted and said that everyone was tired, so hurry up and ask everyone to rest and recuperate, and continue to hurry tomorrow.
Seeing that her tone was not good, Lu Sanye remembered her misjudgment yesterday, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly asked Lu Sixteen to arrange it.
In the early morning of the second day, the group left Jincheng, drove non-stop for several days, and finally returned to Qingzhou on the first day of the lunar month.
Qin Daochuan also set out on the second day after Ruoshu left.
It also takes twenty days for the capital to get to the north, and Qin Daochuan is not in a hurry, and when he arrives in the north, it is already Chinese New Year's Eve.
Qin Daochuan asked Qin Dong to lead the team to Mocheng first.
He took Qin Nan, Qin Xi, Qin Bei and the money distributed in the Jiafang Hall in the past six months to the Qin family's military camp in the north.
I found a few survivors of the bloody battle of Hutuketu in the military camp, and wanted to inquire more carefully to see where my father's arms were scattered.
When several people saw Qin Daochuan asking about it again, they all shook their heads and said: "At that time, the two armies were fighting together, first the grandfather of the country was wounded by an arrow, and the prince rushed to the rescue as soon as he saw it... ”
Qin Daochuan listened and answered: "I already know this, but at that time, the broken arm and the corpse - how far away my father was, and which direction it was, I had to know the specific direction so that I could find it." ”
Who knew that a few people listened and said: "Major General, in that battle back then, the casualties on both sides were almost exhausted, and none of the Qin family army commanders or above were alive, only a few of our soldiers remained, and they were also wounded and disabled. We have always listened to the captain's orders in the team, and at that time everyone was fighting together, and we couldn't tell the specific directions, so it was better for the major general to listen to us separately and judge for himself than to guess blindly. ”
As soon as Qin Daochuan heard that it made sense, he asked them to say it again.
One of the soldiers who was blind in one eye said: "Grandpa Guo was hit by an arrow, and the prince ran over to save him, and picked up another arrow with his sword. ”
The other hurriedly received: "I saw this, the prince turned over and got up at that time, and his hands were fine." ”
The person who said it just now continued: "You listen to me first, it was okay at the time, and then the prince of the prince fought with Manlu, and at that time he also shouted the name of Vice General Qin, asking him to quickly rescue the grandfather of the country." ”
A soldier with a cane said: "In the end, Vice General Qin and Grandpa Guo died together... ”
The blind soldier seemed to be angry, and said, "What do you say?" The young general wants to know where the right arm of the prince fell? ”
The crutch soldier sighed, lowered his head and said nothing.
The blind soldier continued: "The prince stabbed an arrow in Man Lu's thigh, and Man Lu immediately fell to the ground, anyway, I didn't see him get up again at that time, and then someone came to help, and the prince fought with that man again." ”
The man who had been sitting in the corner without making a sound spoke: "Fighting, fighting, that person missed, there was an empty door, the prince raised his long sword and wanted to cut his throat, and then Man Lu took an axe from behind... An axe cut off the right arm of the prince. The man picked up his arm and shouted, "General Chang Sheng's right arm is here, and he has what he wants to catch." "After saying that, I threw my arm out, and then I kept throwing it around, and we who were alive were crazy and wanted to get it back, and then everyone was fighting around, and I was cut with an axe, and I didn't know anything."
The rest of the people all said, "Paralyzed old man, you don't talk nonsense, why didn't we see it." ”
The man in the corner said, "That only means that you have fallen by then." ”
When Qin Daochuan heard the last details for the first time, he only felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, and he just wanted to chop the tartars present at that time into minced meat.
He asked, "Who is that man, do you know him?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, but said that they were very young, that their faces were very dark, and that they had braided their chins and that a bell was hanging from them, and that they were ringing.
Qin Daochuan asked again: "Is that person dead?" ”
Everyone said they weren't impressed.
After Qin Daochuan thanked everyone, everyone dispersed.
Qin Daochuan asked Qin Nan and knew that the silver taels he brought had been delivered to the tun chief.
So he decided to rush to Meaux at once, and to Hutuketu tomorrow, and look for it carefully.
It's just that God didn't fulfill people's wishes, Qin Daochuan stepped through the battlefield of the year, and found many other things, but he didn't find his father's bones.
