Chapter 40: The Return Journey

The village is quiet, the morning mist is shrouded in the mountains, and after the temperature still rises, the mountains and the earth begin to glow green. It's like two different worlds from the outside.

After Qingling got up, she and Mingzhu prepared breakfast for the children as usual. The two sisters-in-law chatted while doing things. couldn't help but bring the topic to Su Jingyun, who was going out. Mingzhu couldn't help but be a little worried, the third brother had been gone for a long time, and he didn't know when he would come back. Unconsciously he said it. "Third sister-in-law, when will the third brother come back? He's going to be fine, right? ”

Qingling's hand shaking the salt, accidentally put too much salt. She relaxed and said to Mingzhu: "It's going to be fine, they'll be back soon." ”

Mingzhu listened to her sister-in-law's words, and felt much more relieved, and her sister-in-law said that she would be fine if she was fine, so she happily went out to call a few children for dinner. Leave the worried Qingling. When Su Jingyun's talisman was activated, Qingling had a sense. However, she could also sense that Su Jingyun was still alive. I just don't know if I'm hurt, if I've endured hardship, and if I'll be bullied.

Hearing the children's footsteps, Qingling had to temporarily let go of her worries, she couldn't let the children follow and be afraid, these days I don't know Brother Yao, Yunxi, and Yunyuan, who has always been not good at behaving well, began to ask her father every day when she would come back.

Su Jingyun and his group were walking the way back.

As soon as the wind blew, a violent dust came to him, and Lin Yong beside him snorted, pulled the turban on his head down, covered the wind and sand, and held the back basket behind him, scolding and scolding in his mouth.

Su Jingyun also frowned, and pulled a cloth towel to cover his ears and nose.

He looked back and saw that everyone around him had covered their ears and noses with cloth towels or turbans. His body was gray and dusty. The season seems to have been delayed a lot, the spring wind is strong, and this year the vegetation on the road has not grown and is withering badly. The whirlwind brought up the dirt on the ground and hit people's faces, making it very uncomfortable.

The road he had walked the other day was the same, dead, desolate, and yellow.

It is estimated that the effective distance today has only traveled more than 20 miles, according to this degree, when will it take to reach the county seat?

"Master Su, can you rest? There is a junction ahead where you can stop to wash your face and drink water. ”

Ge Youcai, who walked up from behind, panted, the wooden stick in his hand was used as a cane, and then there was a back basket behind him, in which were his two little daughters, Ge Cuier and Ge Hong'er.

The older son, Ge Jiaming, can only walk behind. At this time, Ge Youcai was unkempt and disgraced, and it could be seen that he was very tired, mainly because he only had some rice porridge per meal, and he was very quick to exhaust his physical strength. But I didn't expect to be a good father who loves his daughter, and I don't want to be sour.

Behind him, Governor Wang and Master Yang also gritted their teeth, and by the way, they supported the sick Wang Wenshan. There were other refugees, all tired and emaciated.

It's almost time to rest, Su Jingyun raised his eyes and looked, Siye was silent, but there was indeed a junction not far ahead, and there was a river on the side, and there seemed to be a stream. The further you walked into the river, the water was thinner, and some of the thatch was even higher than a human head.

Su Jingyun ordered everyone to rest, and by the way, boiled some hot water to replenish water for everyone.

During the quiet rest time, the sudden scolding and cries broke the calm of the team, many refugees looked at each other with dissatisfaction, and Su Jingyun's eyes also cooled.

One was wearing a gray short coat, with an ordinary figure, a little thin, and an honest look, but now his face was full of fierceness, revealing his true nature.

It turned out that since the beginning of the journey, this person has been constantly shouting and scolding his mother-in-law and little daughter, and he is proud. If the people on one side persuade him, he will become more and more violent.

At this moment, when he stopped to rest, he went even further, and began to insult his mother-in-law with foul language, and the scolding was very ugly.

A young man and a few women next to him couldn't look past it and persuaded him. Instead, he slapped his wife on the face, and even his daughter, who was a few years old, kept scolding "dead mother-in-law, losing money, rotten goods" and so on. His daughter burst into tears, and the woman held her in her arms and just endured it in silence, her eyes full of humiliation and helplessness.

It turns out that this person's name is Wu Dahe, and he looks honest, but in fact, his heart is not very good, and he likes to take advantage of others with the mask of an honest person, but his mother-in-law is a famous diligent person in the village, called Zhang Yun.

This guy is obviously showing his existence and establishing his prestige by beating and scolding his wife and children?

After Su Jingyun knew what was going on, he sneered, and there was coldness in his eyes.

The guy was still roaring, slapping his wife and children hard. He looked proud, after all, this was his own family matter, and outsiders could only persuade him, and he was helpless against himself.

Isn't there a saying that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs?

Suddenly seeing Su Jingyun walking in front of him, he quickly stopped his hand, with a look of fear on his face, nodded and said, "Adult, mother-in-law and children are not sensible, so let them shut up." ”

Su Jingyun just looked at him coldly, looking honest, but what he did was really disgusting. Such people will only make people learn from each other.

Su Jingyun looked at him coldly, a chill surged from the soles of his feet, he seemed to feel that his behavior was unpleasant, this person smiled and said, "My lord......"

Su Jingyun kicked out violently and kicked the man's stomach hard, and before he could say the next words, his head flew high.

"Tom."

Falling far away, he fell to the ground, rolled on the ground a few times, and spat blood from his mouth. There was flattery and disbelief in his eyes.

"Ahh

There were a few exclamations in the ranks. There was silence.

Su Jingyun said lightly, "We don't want such a person." He looked at the man's wife and daughter, and saw that she was sluggish, and her daughter was shrunk in her arms, and her eyes were wide open, and she had stopped crying.

Su Jingyun raised her voice at her and asked, "Do you still want such a husband?" ”

The woman holding the child reacted and cried out, "Don't, I don't." A young man on the side looked at her with some distress and high heart. Come to think of it, this is the Luo family kid who grew up with a childhood sweetheart with a woman.

Su Jingyun had noticed that this young man's expression was not right, and when he looked at the woman, his eyes were full of love, pain, and resentment.

Sure enough, the Luo family kid couldn't control it all of a sudden, and ran up to help the woman up. His face turned red with excitement, and he said, "I will take care of you in the future, and I will treat wheat as my own daughter." ”

Su Jingyun looked at them and nodded, it can be regarded as a good thing. After a break, everyone began to continue on the road again.

A group of people left far away, leaving only the man lying on the ground.
