Chapter 57: The Village (10)
In the night, the two figures walked silently towards the village.
Kong Guangzhu was pulled up by Kong and Renqiang, and he was still confused, "Big brother, what are you going to do here?" ”
"Didn't you say there was Wang Ba Soup?"
"You can smell it from so far away, this Wang Ba is too old to survive when he sees it."
Kong Heren walked and stopped, and finally stopped outside a door in the middle of the village, from which the aroma of wine came from, his eyes sparkled, and he pulled people inside, but immediately stopped again.
"That's not right."
Kong Guangzhu also woke up completely at this time, "What's wrong?" ”
He rubbed his eyes to see what was in front of him, and he was stupid, "Where is this?" ”
Kong Heren pulled him back again, "No, no, let's go back quickly." ”
Kong Guangzhu was dragged by him and walked to the ancestral hall again, "Big brother, what are you doing?" ”
Kong Heren ignored him, muttering to himself, "When I entered the village at night, I could still hear the dog barking, and now the two of us came over late at night and there was no dog barking, these villagers are really bad, they must know that I like to drink and deliberately make a danger to lure me, am I a fool to be a master?" ”
Kong Guangzhu's expression was stunned, "Big brother, you took me out in the middle of the night to steal wine?" ”
Kong Heren didn't wait to deny it, Kong Guangzhu immediately accused him sadly, like a woman who was deceived and abandoned emotionally, "You clearly said that there was Wang Batang, it turned out to be to trick me into coming out to drink, liar." ”
Kong Heren: ..... Sure enough, it was Wang Batang who caused it.
No, Kong Heren was really afraid that people would cry like this and alarm the people in the village, and they confessed their mistakes and apologized all the way, and finally coaxed people back to the ancestral hall.
The two quietly thought that they hadn't alarmed anyone and went back to lie down, and when they were really quiet, Mrs. Kong slowly opened her eyes, and they were together all the time in the past few days, and they were disappointed and angry at the sons, but now they have become able to look at everything calmly.
He sat up slowly, there were frequent accidents on the way to exile, and today he entered a village with such a grand ancestral hall, he really felt uneasy, how could he sleep.
The two went out and came back without incident, but Mrs. Kong still didn't feel a little sleepy.
Mo Shangshu didn't sleep either, the two of them were officials in the court together, and they had seen strong winds and waves, and now that such a thing happened, it was impossible not to take it to heart.
The officers slept soundly, and the prisoners were tired from the half-night journey.
Mo Shangshu also sat up, he was beside Old Lady Kong, and the two of them spoke in a low voice, and they didn't have to worry about waking up others, "Is the old lady thinking about the weird places in the village?" ”
Old lady Kong bowed slightly, "It's almost dawn, let's hurry when it dawns." ”
Mo Shangshu smiled bitterly, "I just hope I can leave tomorrow." ”
It is precisely this that Mrs. Kong is worried about, "I just hope that we think too much." ”
"Take advantage of the dawn and squint for a while, the old lady should take care of herself." Mo Shangshu didn't know what to say to ease his heart, and he didn't have a bottom in his own heart.
Kong Yan felt that she had slept very well, turned over and woke up to find that it was not yet dawn, she closed her eyes again, but immediately opened her eyes again, and the person sat up.
The familiar white fog swayed slightly, as if there was life, and the black and simple ancestral hall door wood loomed in the white fog, revealing weirdness everywhere.
Kong Yan sat up violently, the white fog was very thick, and she could still see that it was already bright outside, and the people in the ancestral hall were still asleep.
This kind of deep sleep is not right in the first place, one or two sleeps deeply, how can everyone sleep deeply?
Kong Yan was vigilant, she first pushed Lu Lian beside her, Lu Lian rubbed beside her, and then slowly opened her eyes, "Sister Kong." ”
It's fine.
Kong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then woke up the family again, one by one, the people of the Kong and Mo families woke up first, and then Kong Yun went to call Dong Guanzhong to send a messenger, and everyone woke up in less than half an hour.
Dong Guan frowned, "What time is it?" ”
Jiang Cheng approached him, "No villagers have come, I don't know what time it is, but the white mist is rising again." ”
Speaking of white mist, everyone's faces were not good-looking.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or someone is watching in the dark, someone is coming, it's a man who brought them food last night, Kong Guangzhu casually asked how old he was, and the man replied.
He was only in his forties, not very tall, with a hunched back and sparse hair, and he was working on the ground, which made him look older than his actual age.
The man's name is Li Zhuang, although he has to answer questions, but he looks very indifferent, and everyone knows that the village chief is sick through questioning, so he didn't come over, and he mentioned the white fog again, with the intention of keeping everyone.
"Every year at the beginning of May, the white fog rises for half a month, and the people in the village will stay in the village anywhere, otherwise they will rarely be able to come out of the mountains when they go into the mountains."
"Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and there are still ten days before the white fog dissipates in the middle of the month." Dong Guan thought for a while, then refused, "Let's continue to hurry, you and the village chief said that there was trouble last night." ”
Li Zhuang glanced at him, "I'll go and tell the village chief." ”
Stepping out of the threshold, Li Zhuang turned his head and looked at everyone lightly, "The villagers of Taocun are simple, but you are not grateful for the kindness you have left, so since you are leaving, leave quickly." ”
With a few words, the figure disappeared into the white mist.
"What's the matter, and the master is also yelling." Dong Guan saw that a villager dared to shake his face with him, and his face was ugly like the bottom of a pot.
Who would have thought that if you say that you will turn your face.
Kong Yan lowered her eyes, her brain moved slightly, as if she had caught something, and after thinking for a while, she walked to the side of Old Lady Kong, "Grandfather, I don't think this Li Zhuang looks like a bad person." ”
Mrs. Kong has been very satisfied with her granddaughter's performance in the past two days, and even how good it would be to give birth to her granddaughter if she was a grandson, and the Kong family also has hope.
He put away the sigh in his heart, "Tell me." ”
Others also looked at it.
Being stared at by so many people, Kong Yan generously said her guess, "Li Zhuang's words mentioned three points, 'the villagers of Tao Village are simple', 'stay with us' and leave quickly'. ”
Kong Guangzhu's eyes lit up, "I understand, we didn't mention that the villagers of Taocun were bad, but he said this, contradicting himself." ”
Mo Minzhong continued, "In fact, when he says this, it is the opposite, the villagers of Tao Village are not simple. ”
Kong Yun analyzed the second sentence, "Keeping us with kindness, I'm afraid there is another purpose." Leave quickly, urging us to leave quickly. ”
Mo Shangshu looked at Kong Yan appreciatively, and praised Mrs. Kong, "Old lady, your granddaughter is not simple. ”
Old lady Kong showed a kind smile and bowed slightly, the Li family was also happy, and Mrs. Mo looked at Kong Yan twice.
It's really that the concubine of the Kong family was too ordinary when she was in Kyoto, and there was Sister Wan's first talented woman who was pressed on her talent, and everyone who exaggerated the words only knew Kong Wan of the Kong family, and I was afraid that there was a Kong concubine who had never heard of it.
Looking at it today, Kong Yan has another charm, and Mrs. Mo's gaze at her son also fell on Kong Yan, and she withdrew her gaze lightly.
