Chapter 18 Unexpected Encounters with Loved Ones
When we were on the road the next day, everyone didn't have any energy, firstly, everyone basically didn't sleep last night, and secondly, Mu Chenghu told everyone about the notice early this morning.
When it was close to noon, Mu Chenghu and his party saw that the village not far away was no longer the excitement they had when they saw the village two days ago.
"Father, mother, village chief and grandfather, I beg you to let Uncle Wei take care of his injuries here before leaving." A kneeling little girl cried and pleaded.
"Erya, it's not that we don't want to stay, it's that the people above said that we can't take in outsiders." A middle-aged uncle helped the little girl up.
Mu Chenghu and his party saw this scene from a distance, and Mu Chenghu and the others soon found out that the little girl was the little girl who sold cakes to them yesterday morning.
"Erya, I know that Uncle Wei has a life-saving grace for you, but you also have to think about the people in our village!" An old man said earnestly.
"But, village chief, grandpa, if you let them go now, how can they survive. Grandpa the village chief, you just let Uncle Wei recover from his injuries before leaving! As long as everyone doesn't say it, no one will know that they are foreigners. Erya raised her head and looked at the village chief with disdain.
At this time, the little boy who had been standing next to him knelt down.
"Please, as long as my uncle's injuries are healed, we will leave, and we will not drag everyone down." The little boy pleaded bitterly.
"You said that if you don't drag it down, you won't drag it down, for the sake of you two people of unknown origin to accompany the lives of our villagers, do you think it's possible?" An old aunt said fiercely.
The old aunt's words landed before the people around jumped out and blamed the little boy.
"I'm sorry, little stone, I can only repay Uncle Wei's life-saving kindness to me in the next life. There are still dozens of dollars that I sold yesterday for cakes and vegetables, you can take it and go! Er Ya tilted his head and said.
The little boy didn't take the money in Erya's hand, but stood up and dragged the unconscious man on the ground to walk in the direction where Mu Chenghu and his party came, but his strength was too small to take two steps before he fell, and then got up again and continued to drag.
Mu Yao was moved by the perseverance of the little boy in front of her, and just as Mu Yao was thinking about how to let everyone bring the two of them, several elders in the village surrounded the two of them.
"Come on, the two offspring will carry him to the ox cart." Mu Qingliu said tremblingly.
However, the little boy looked at the visitor with a wary expression.
Mu Qingliu said a little anxiously, "Don't worry, I won't hurt him, his wounds will be dangerous if they don't be treated." ”
After Mu Qingliu finished speaking, the little boy still refused to let go, so Mu Qingliu had to ask Qiu Cheng to bring some gauze and wine, and asked the two of them to get two umbrellas.
After all the preparations were ready, Mu Qingliu began to use a knife to clean up Uncle Wei's wound carrion little by little, and after the cleaning was completed, Mu Qingliu used wine to detoxify the wound, and finally bandaged the wound.
Liu Wu couldn't help crying anymore after seeing Mu Qingliu treat his wounds, and Liu Wu's crying frightened Mu Chenghu and Mu Yao.
The little boy also seemed to be frightened by the cry of the catkins, and he looked up at the catkins in shock for a moment and was speechless.
When everyone was about to ask what was going on with the catkins, they heard the village chief on the other side say, "If you want to leave, hurry up, otherwise we will report to the official." ”
Seeing this, Mu Chenghu and his party had to carry Uncle Wei into the ox cart and leave quickly, but this time the little boy did not stop him.
On the way, the catkins brought the little boy and put him on the ox cart where Han was, but the little boy did not refuse the catkins, and Han did not say anything.
Mu Yao, who witnessed all this, felt very strange, and what made Mu Yao even more unthinkable was that during the noon nap, Liu Wu and Han gave half of their dry food to the little boy, and Liu Wu also handed his water bottle to the little boy to drink.
In the afternoon, Wei Ran woke up for a while, and Liu Wu hurriedly added some salt to Mu Chenghu's kettle and fed some salt water to Wei Ran.
At night, Mu Yao and Mu Chenghu couldn't hold back any longer, and decided to ask Liu Wu what was going on.
As a result, when Mu Chenghu and the others were about to go to find Liu Wu, several elders in the village found Mu Chenghu.
As soon as Mu Chenghu saw several elders appear at the same time, he thought what was going on again?
Mu Qingshan said straight to the point, "Chenghu, we have to bring them." ”
"Uncle Thirteen, it's okay to bring them, but we can't bring people with us in the future, after all, our food is limited." Mu Chenghu was afraid that everyone would bring people without saying a word if they greeted him in the future.
"We definitely won't, Xiao Wei is different, their master has a life-saving grace for all of us in the village, since we have met it, we will naturally not care." Mu Qingliu explained.
Mu Chenghu asked in surprise, "Third uncle, the life-saving grace of the whole village?" ”
Mu Yao on the side was also stunned by this sudden news.
"You know, our village escaped from the northwest! We also ran out of food when we were about to arrive in Lingyang City, and your grandfather couldn't buy food anywhere with the money. When our group was about to despair, Master Liu appeared with Xiao Wei, he gave us several carts of food for free and sent us all the way to Lingyang City. Mu Qingliu recalled.
"Yes, Master Liu is a rare good person." Mu Qingyuan sighed.
When Mu Chenghu and Mu Yao heard this, they immediately understood why they had to take those two people away. It's just that they still don't understand what catkins are all about.
When Mu Chenghu's father and daughter sent off several elders and returned to the tent, they found that Liu Wu had fallen asleep with the little boy in his arms.
Mu Chenghu's father and daughter watched this scene and had to give up.
Before going to bed, Mu Yao thought to herself that these two people would not be relatives of her mother! I have to say that Mu Yao guessed correctly to some extent.
In the middle of the night, Wei Ran woke up from the tent and found himself in a tent, but he didn't see his little master and walked out in a hurry.
Fortunately, at this time, Qiu Cheng happened to come back from Xiaoxie, and when he saw Wei Ran walking out, Qiu Cheng hurriedly said, "You are so seriously injured, hurry up and go back to rest!" That little boy is sleeping in the tent next door, you don't have to worry. ”
In the evening, Mu Qingliu told Qiu Cheng about the origin of Wei Ran and the others, so Qiu Cheng respected Wei Ran very much.
Qiu Cheng's voice woke up Mu Qingliu, who was sleeping lightly, and Mu Qingliu got up from afar and saw Wei Ran awake, so he hurriedly walked over.
Wei Ran saw that the person who came was a little familiar and was about to ask something, Mu Qingliu talked about him about the events of the year. After listening to Mu Qingliu's words, Wei Ran immediately knew that these people had no malicious intent, so he returned to the tent with Mu Qingliu and Qiu to continue sleeping.
Early the next morning, Liu Wu saw that Wei Ran had woken up, so he asked with concern, "Uncle Wei, are your injuries better?" ”
Wei Ran heard the voice of the catkins and looked back and couldn't cry for a while, and at this moment, the little boy next to Wei Ran also cried.
After a long while, Wei Ran spoke, "Miss, where have you been all these years?" Let the master be easy to find. ”
"Uncle Wei, that day in Lingyang City, after I was separated from my father, I met a villain, I handed over all my belongings, they refused to let me go, I was in a hurry to throw myself into the river, I thought that I was good at water and could escape the catastrophe, who knew that I encountered an undercurrent, fortunately I met my father-in-law and rescued me." Catkins choked hard.
"Auntie, don't cry." The little boy raised his little hand and wiped the catkins' eyes.
"Uncle Wei, my dad and they're okay!" Liu Wu asked as she wiped her tears.
"Miss, the master is gone, the eldest young master is gone, all gone. Chen Guojun called, the soldiers defending the city surrendered, and we didn't have time to flee at all. The eldest young master and the young grandmother were killed by Chen Guojun outside, and the master had to hurriedly arrange for me and a few loyal servants to escape with the little young master, but they were all killed by Chen Guojun when they arrived in Lingyang City. Wei Ran cried and said.
As soon as Wei Ran's words were finished, he saw the camp, and the older generation all started crying, and the camp in Shunjian was filled with a sad atmosphere.
At noon, the group finally put aside their sadness for a short time and slowly drove the ox cart all the way south.
