Chapter 6: Su Qiang
The communication on this day was relatively smooth, and when it got dark, Yuyi simply finished dinner at Mink Ruxiao's house, and then returned to the side house where he lived with the mute.
Before it was completely dark, I started to eat, and after eating for about 30 minutes, I had to go back to my room to sleep, this is the life of the ancients, at that time there were no mobile phones, computers, and there were no sufficient lights, so everyone went to bed early.
Like the hard and black wooden bed, this kind of living conditions made it difficult for Yuyi to adapt, and after not sitting in the room for long, he began to think carefully, thinking about how to bypass this mute, and left the room unconsciously, and walked around Daoxiang Village, which can be regarded as a night walk, familiar with the customs of the villagers, so as to further familiarize himself with the environment of Daoxiang Village.
The mute lived in a hut next to Yuyi's partial room, Yuyi opened the window of his room, looked through the gap, and found that the mute's room was bright, and he hadn't rested yet.
After observing the movement and repeatedly confirming that the mute would not go out in the room for the time being, Yuyi gently opened the door and slowly dived out.
Just as I was about to turn around and close the door, I felt someone behind me. It turned out to be the dumb man, and at this time he was smiling at Yu Yi, and Yu Yi had no choice but to smile awkwardly at the dumb man, and was ready to return.
The mute patted Yuyi's shoulder and pointed to his room, indicating that he would let him pass.
After entering the mute's accommodation, Yuyi smelled the smell of burned paper, and the mute of course noticed this, and after observing Yuyi's expression, he felt a little panicked, but this emotion disappeared instantly, replaced by a smile, and as he said he picked up a wooden stick and wrote words in the slightly darker part of the room.
I have to say that God is opening a window for everyone, just like this dumb person, I don't know if he is congenitally disabled or acquired, he can write well, and at the same time has a keen ability that ordinary people can't achieve.
It turned out that the dumb man was not a native of Daoxiang Village, he came to Daoxiang Village about 3 years ago, named Su Qiang, although the dumb man was rickety, his hair was scattered, almost a bad old man, but his eyes were very sharp, he told Yuyi that he was a businessman, and when he passed by Daoxiang Village, he encountered a group of bandits, because he temporarily took poison, poisoned himself, so he was not killed, but he was beaten by the other party and changed his body shape dramatically, and fortunately Mink Ruxiao happened to pass by and rescued himself in the haystack.
Although the residents here in Daoxiang Village are hospitable, but also xenophobic, due to their physical disabilities, living alone in the house is always bullied by some villagers, in order to facilitate the care of himself, Mink Ruxiao let him live in his own courtyard, nominally let him do some rough work, do some subordinate work, but in his heart he is still very good, Su Qiang is grateful for Mink Ruxiao's life-saving grace, and also keeps the courtyard in order, so it is three years.
While sympathizing with Su Qiang's suffering, Yu Yi also felt a little lucky, because when he was talking to Mink Ruxiao during the day, he also made up such a story, and he was afraid of revealing flaws at the beginning, but now he feels that it is accidental, but there are indeed bandits near Daoxiang Village, and even a person with some strength like Su Qiang can suffer this bad luck, just imagine that if he is in danger, it will not end up worse.
"What are these bandits, do you know their purpose?"
"In these years, the people's harvest is not good, and there are often plagues north of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court is a eunuch in charge, and it has long been difficult to guarantee local Ye'an.
originally thought that Su Qiang would hold a grudge against the bandits who caused harm to him, but he didn't expect him to sympathize with these bandits, and from this point, Yu Yi judged that this Su Qiang was a very kind person.
"Can you tell me how quickly I can adapt to life here?"
Since Su Qiang is from the past, there is no reason not to consult him.
"I see that Your Excellency is very talented, and Mink Ruxiao also likes you very much, why don't you worship him as a teacher?"
Su Qiang smiled slightly, looking very kind.
Although Su Qiang did not answer Yu Yi's question correctly, he pointed out a very bright direction for him, which made Yu Yi suddenly, and such an answer instantly shortened the distance between the two.
Yu Yi scratched his head, told Su Qiang about the carriage incident, and mentioned that he was whipped to the ground by Zhang Da Niu, but it was simply described as being pushed to the ground, even if it was not a speech, it also made Su Qiang see the clues, he lifted Yu Yi's shirt, the bright red whip mark is still vivid, at that time in front of the girl, Yu Yi had a good face, did not show that the injury was very serious, and the pain has been endured, until this moment I felt a faint pain in the wound, which is a sign of inflammation.
Su Qiang shot quickly, Yu Yi was almost powerless to stop it, he saw the injury clearly at a glance, turned around and took out some powdered objects from the medicine box in the corner of the room and smeared them on Yu Yi's wound, and suddenly felt that the wound was a little burning, and then a cool feeling.
While helping Yuyi smear his wounds, Su Qiang smiled. There are always young people who are competitive, but this kind of injury, being able to pretend to be casual for so long, shows the strength of young people's willpower.
"You can't blame Zhang Daniu for this, maybe he treats you as a thief." Putting down the box, Su Qiang did not forget to defend Zhang Daniu.
If you want to say that you don't hate this Zhang Daniu, it's impossible, but the gap between the strength and others is too big, and the other is that this Zhang Daniu is so heavy, and there are reasons why he regards himself as a rival in love, but this kind of thing, Yuyi is not good to tell Su Qiang again, after all, he is still an outsider, and it is already very interesting for Su Qiang to take the initiative to heal himself.
The two chatted like this, time passed quickly, and suddenly Yuyi found Su Qiang writing on the ground: "It's time to go, it's time to rest!" ”
Hai Shi Yuyi knows, corresponding to the modern 21-23 o'clock, in ancient times there were 12 hours, divided into Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, each hour is equivalent to two hours now, but Yuyi is curious about where this Su Qiang predecessor saw the time, is there a watch or something, so he took this opportunity to consult.
"The husband of this village died of illness not long ago, and I will do the work on my behalf, during the day we judge the time by the shadow of the sun, and at night it is the pillar of incense, so I have to go out to play the watch now, and I have to play 5 shifts every night!"
According to Su Qiang's words, Yu Yi noticed the incense burner on the table, there was indeed a burning incense, next to it was a pile of incense, and next to it was a black stone, which should be a flint.
Although the conversation between the two was not over, it was not good to delay Su Qiang's work, so Yuyi had to return to his room.
