Chapter 22: The Pursuit
Fuxi is right, Su Huai'an's mind is all based on stubbornness, a force, and even she can't tell what it is for.
It is easy to find out the case of the Ji family more than ten years ago, but it is difficult to really do it, not to mention that the parties of the year have already changed more than ten years ago, even if the people were there at the time, they may not dare to say anything.
Su Huai'an only said that after repairing the embankment, he could uproot the radish in the soil, who would have thought that the situation after three years was not much different from the situation three years ago, she went through several tosses, and finally found a master who had experienced this case in Hulu County along the river, the master was in charge of records, and he knew a lot of things, the group of masters of the year had already died, scattered, and it was great luck to find this.
Su Huai'an instructed Fuxi, and the two of them traveled in the starry night, and it took two days to rush to Hulu County.
Hulu County is located in a relatively remote location along the river, because it is connected to the Taihang Mountain, so the young and strong will go out to earn a living, leaving only some women and children, old and young, and they can't go, even if they go out, there is no way to live.
The weather is warm, but the wind in the mountains is very cloudy, and after a while, it blows Su Huai'an with a little headache, the wind picks up her long hair, she is in a hurry for days, the hair on her forehead has fallen down, her eyes are a little itchy, and her nose is also sneezing.
"My lord, it doesn't have to be this way." The night road was silent, and Fuxi suddenly said this, which made Su Huaian a little stunned.
"How did you come up with this?"
"It's not, it's just ...... My lord, you see that Tang Gongzi has seen a lot, and the matter of Tianmen Mountain is also related to Tang Gongzi, but Tang Gongzi has never mentioned this matter from beginning to end, Fuxi just thinks that it is worth it for adults to do this. ”
Su Huai'an lowered his head and looked at the mountain road walked by the horse's hooves, the grass on both sides gently raised with the wind, and the spring breeze smelled of grass.
"My lord, do you think Fuxi is talking too much? If you upset an adult, you can treat it as if Fuxi never said it. Fuxi smiled and wanted to comfort Su Huai'an.
"Fuxi, do you also think that I am doing this in vain, and I will not get any results?" She was very depressed in her heart, because she didn't know how much effect this could play, and whether there was any result she wanted in this way to be entangled in an unjust case that had been sealed many years ago.
"No," Fuxi suddenly straightened up, "My lord, there is no conclusion in this world, it is not the most important thing. ”
"So what's important?" Su Huai'an followed the horse's hooves and tossed and bustled.
"My lord, Fuxi has been thinking about one thing recently, that is, why do people in this world always ask for a result, who wins whom, who loses, what does it matter, as long as it is experienced and time is paid, it is not in vain."
Su Huai'an couldn't help but laugh at the mountain wind, "Fuxi, when did you learn these things?" Who taught you this? Tang Gongzi? ”
Fuxi pouted when she heard this, "My lord, Fuxi was still waiting for you to praise Fuxi, but in the end you said that Tang Gongzi taught me, and this Fuxi was not happy." ”
"Oh?"
"Fu Xi saw that the eldest was unhappy recently, so she wondered how to make the adult feel relieved."
Su Huai'an sighed, "It's really hard for you." ”
"My lord, do you have Tang Gongzi in your heart?" Fuxi temptation.
Su Huai'an's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Fuxi with some incredulity, "Why do you say this?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that when I mentioned Tang Gongzi as soon as the adult mentioned it just now, I think Tang Gongzi should have some weight in the adult's heart."
Su Huaian shook his head, "He may not want to do what I want to do, and I don't know what he wants to do, so I don't know if there is one." ”
Fuxi listened to Su Huai'an's words, and was rarely silent, and he also followed the shaking of the horse's hooves from left to right.
Fuxi didn't speak, Su Huai'an didn't speak, and when the two of them rushed to Hulu County, they asked a few families to find the location of the old master.
As soon as the two entered the door, they saw an old man scolding and digging a vegetable patch in the courtyard.
His hair and beard were half white, and he seemed to be unwilling, and he kept muttering something in his mouth.
Su Huai'an and Fu Xi glanced at each other, she felt that this mountain was too lonely, but the master used to be a person with a face who followed in and out, but now that it has fallen to this point, she should be a little unwilling.
"Who are you looking for?"
Before the two of them stepped into the courtyard, the old master looked at the visitor with a vigilant eye, his eyes were already chaotic, but even so, he could see the shrewdness and an indescribable ferocity.
Su Huai'an arched his hand and was polite, "Old man, is there a person named Yan Yun here?" ”
The master looked Su Huai'an and Fuxi up and down, "Who are you?" What's the matter with him? ”
"Oh, it's actually not a big deal, it's just that Master Yan used to be in charge of records, and we wanted to ask him about the old man with some unclear information on the record."
"Oh?" The more respectful and polite Su Huai'an was, the more relaxed the master became, "What is the record?" ”
Xu is now a rare place where he can be used, the master seems to be a little attentive, he uses a hoe as a crutch, and stands up straight.
Su Huai'an pondered how to speak, and finally asked simply and directly, "I don't know the Ji family case for many years, do you still remember it, master?" This case has been closed for a long time, but many of the details are vague, I heard that it was recorded by a master named Yan Yun back then, so the younger generation wanted to come and take a look. ”
The master was still holding the hoe, squinting his eyes and listening carefully to Su Huai'an's speech, until he heard that it was the Ji family's case, then he changed his expression and looked serious, "I haven't heard of this matter, and it's useless for you to come." ”
"So, you are the old man Yan Yunyan?"
"No, you're looking for the wrong person, there's no one here."
"Master Yan, my surname is Su, I have been paying attention to this case for some time, and I have been thinking about it until something happened back then, if you can tell me one or two, I am grateful."
When Master Yan heard Su Huai'an say this, he also squinted his eyes and asked tentatively, "Who are you?" How did you think to ask about it? ”
"We are a small official in the river house for a long time, and we have been working for three years and have no ambition, and we found this old case when we were inadvertently sorting out the case, and we thought that if we could find out the unsolved mysteries in it, maybe we could find a better errand, otherwise the family was chattering all day long, and it was really boring." Su Huai'an was not in a hurry, and what he said was sincere.
Fuxi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded as well.
The old man was probably lonely for too long, and few people discussed with him about his former glory days, and he didn't think about it deeply, perhaps because he was in a bad situation now, and he didn't have too many doubts about Su Huai'an's words.
"You ......" he said in a tone, which regarded Su Huai'an and them as undesirable juniors, "You are really newborn calves who don't know how to be afraid, and no one has explained this matter to you, and I don't think you have any way." ”
Su Huai'an listened to Master Yan's tone and quickly nodded.
"But if you don't have the slightest way, I have been farming in the township for so many years, how did you find me?"
Master Yan's words changed, obviously still suspicious of Su Huai'an.
Su Huai'an still gave up, "I checked Master Yan, who recorded the case back then, oh, that is, your senior's information, and I knew that you returned to your hometown in the morning, so I hurried to see you." ”
"Oh, so that's the case," Master Yan stroked his gray beard, "Since you are a junior in the same industry, don't stand and talk, you should be thirsty after walking the mountain road for a few days, come in and drink saliva." ”
"Master Xie Yan."
"Oh? How do you know I'm Master Yan? ”
Su Huai'an arched his hand and smiled, "If you can have such a bearing, I can only think of Master Yan." ”
She said this tactfully and sincerely, which made Master Yan very happy, "You will be so handsome and eloquent in the future, let's stay and eat for a while." ”
"Listen to the arrangement of the seniors."
Her sincerity was not entirely disguised, she really wanted to know what happened when she was a child with broken memories, so that when she arrived at Tianmen Mountain, such a big local famous family was implicated in bulldozing.
She sighed in her heart, and when she entered Master Yan's house and saw that he had nothing else except for ploughing tools, a low table, and a bed, she felt a little sad in her heart.
Master Yan poured two bowls of coarse tea for Su Huai'an and Fuxi, "Housheng, come and drink some water." ”
Su Huai'an hurriedly stepped forward and took it with both hands, picked it up and drank it.
Fuxi followed suit, "Thank you, Master Yan." ”
Master Yan likes these two offspring very much, and the people who can think of him for so many years are these two offspring.
He thought that when he was young, he also wanted to make a career, but in the end, he didn't expect to return to the original point.
Master Yan moved three low stools over, let Su Huai'an and them sit down, and sat down with him, he looked at the newly renovated land in the courtyard, "Say, what do you want to know?" ”
Su Huai'an was drinking tea, she didn't expect Master Yan to be even more direct than herself, she choked on her trachea with a sip of tea on the spot, and she didn't dare to cough at this time, so she could only suppress it and wipe the tea on her mouth, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that this case, the record from beginning to end is just the disappearance of the family, isn't it too strange to close the case in this way?" ”
Master Yan shook his head, "Housheng, your idea is wrong. ”
"Ask the gentleman for advice." Su Huaian hurriedly answered.
"Some things should be serious when they should be serious, which is a good thing, but some things should not be taken too seriously, and when they should not be serious, don't be so serious, so that your road can go for a long time."
"Yes." Su Huai'an responded.
Master Yan glanced at Su Huai'an, "Looking at your embarrassed appearance, it seems that you are not doing well, so you want to find out this case that should not be touched, right?" ”
"Yes." Su Huai'an nodded.
"But if you touch something that shouldn't be touched, it may not rise, and if you return to your hometown to farm, it's hard to say."
"Please Master Yan must give me some advice, and the younger generation will definitely keep it in mind."
