It's spring.

Although it was spring, the weather was colder.

Zhang Xiaolei wondered why spring was always colder than winter.

In this case, why is it called the cold winter wax moon, instead of the wax moon and cold spring?

Perhaps because of the rainy spring, he felt that the rain was colder than the snow.

Jiang Xiu came to Zhang Xiaolei and sat down, he straightened his jacket and said softly, "Smoking again?" ”

"Well, the doctor said that smoking is good for my body, let me smoke more, two bags a day......" Zhang Xiaolei replied.

"How did you go to see the doctor?"

"Restless."

"This road has been opened, and the village has saved enough food for the winter with the carriages and horses you donated, and has made cash...... Jiang Xiu said curiously, "Now that the villagers are saying that they want to plant potatoes, they are all thanking you, why are you still restless?" ”

Zhang Xiaolei sighed and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”

"Oh? Where does this come from? ”

"After I went home, I didn't have a reunion during the Spring Festival, and I felt very guilty. I had saved money and wanted to give it to my parents so that they could live in peace. Just my parents...... Alas. ”

Jiang Xiu nodded and said, "It is true that they should not be given money, some people have too much money, but it is a disaster." ”

"That's what I thought."

"Then you'll be there for them to take care of."

"I have something I want to do."

Jiang Xiu said sincerely: "The parents are here, and the son is not far away. ”

Zhang Xiaolei replied: "The parents are here, the son is not far away, and there must be a way to travel." ”

"Where's your side?"

"It's you, brother."

Zhang Xiaolei said softly: "I still have 1,400 taels of gold, and I want to hand it over to my brother and let my brother take care of my parents for me." Take them into Jiangfu and wait for me to come back. ”

"The imperial court has come to the ......edict," Jiang Xiu sighed, "I want to take care of your parents for you, but I also have to leave." ”

"What about the village?"

"With my cousin in his care, it is better to leave your money to my cousin. He was the most loyal, devoted to reading only the books of sages, and was respected in the township. If you get into trouble, he'll be able to help you deal with it. ”

"That's fine."

"In that case, I will have him called."

Jiang Xiu instructed his subordinates to find his cousin, but after a while, a scholar came.

"Jiang Yuan, this is my brother Zhang Xiaolei...... Jiang Xiu and his cousin instructed, "I will go to Xuchang to be an official, and the villagers will be handed over to you in the future." And my brother Zhang Xiaolei's parents, I also want you to take care of them, he left 1,400 taels of gold, you have to keep it for him. ”

Jiang Yuan said: "Brother Zhang, I heard that you are a good person. ”

"Brother Jiang Yuan only cares about studying, but he needs money for life, and when he needs it, he will take it from my money, as long as he keeps accounts." Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he said again: "Thank you, brother, I happened to be so hungry that I haven't eaten for two days, this money is a charcoal in the snow, then I will take a penny of gold first and exchange it for silver and copper coins." ”

Zhang Xiaolei said sincerely: "I'm tired." ”

Jiang Yuan left in a hurry, Jiang Xiu took Zhang Xiaolei's hand and said sincerely: "Where is Brother Zhang going, and when will he come back?" ”

"Go to Luoyang Zhoucheng and come back in three months. If you don't come back, you won't go back. ”

"I asked someone to send a letter to the Jiang family father in Tianshui...... Jiang Xiu said seriously, "I said about my brother in the letter, and I received a reply from the Jiang family father this morning, and he praised the brother very much. He can recommend your brother to be an official. ”

Zhang Xiaolei sighed and said: "It's okay to be an official, I once offended Wu Luonian, the commander of Maicheng County, and his father was Liu Jin's lackey." If I am an official, I am afraid that there will be too much trouble, unless I run far enough, but I don't want to go far. ”

"So that's ......," Jiang Xiu sighed, "I've heard about some deeds recently, and it's my brother's reputation in the rivers and lakes. I'm far away from here, and today I learned about my brother's ability. Originally, I didn't believe it, but now that my brother admits it, it seems to be true. ”

Zhang Xiaolei said modestly: "It's all people bragging, but it's not enough to worry about." ”

Jiang Xiu nodded and said honestly: "Sneaking and abducting is indeed not enough to worry about, and it is a shame to say it." ”

Zhang Xiaolei's face was full of shame, and at this time he stood up and patted his buttocks: "Then, I'll go." ”

"In such a hurry?"

"Well, I've been at home for a long time, it......'s time to go," Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile, "That night, the butcher urged me to leave for three days, saying that I was uncomfortable staying here." ”

"The night butcher is a reckless man, brother remember to beware."

"Definitely, my brother helped me say goodbye to my parents, I'm not used to saying goodbye."

Zhang Xiaolei went out of Jiangfu, and when he went out, he saw that the night butcher was slapping people outside.

"Night butcher, why are you beating people again?" He reprimanded.

The night butcher turned around and said angrily, "This guy is selling oil cakes, I want to buy an oil cake, but he charges me five cents." I said that there were only two or three wen in the city, how dare you accept five wen, and he still quibbled with me. ”

The man said aggrievedly: "This grandfather, in that city, he is walking the streets and alleys to sell diseases, but I have to carry a flat burden to travel through mountains and rivers, so it is naturally more expensive." ”

"Bastard, don't you know that the price is cheap!"

The Night Butcher slapped the man again, causing him to bleed from the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Xiaolei really couldn't stand it, he sighed and said, "Go and lead the horse, let's go." ”

When the night butcher heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Where are you going?" ”

"Zhou Cheng I said earlier."

"Aha!"

The night butcher came to the spirit, hurriedly went to lead the horse, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, we are finally leaving." ”

"Well, it's time to get on errands. I'll go to the entrance of the village, you go and store some food, and we'll take the road to eat. ”

"Great!"

The night butcher turned his head sharply and scolded the man: "Sell me all your bread for three cents a piece, you dare to talk nonsense, uncle, I will beat you today and beg for mercy!" ”

"Grandpa, you have a strong fist, I'll sell it all to you."

The night butcher hung the bread on his horse contentedly, and went to store some tobacco and wine, and went out on his way.

He led the horse and laughed, "Finally get out of this place, where will we go after that?" I want to go to Luoyang and eat and drink there. ”

"Zhoucheng is on the edge of Luoyang, you can go to Luoyang......" Zhang Xiaolei nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go buy you a horse first, we will go to Luoyang in three days." ”

"In such a hurry?"

"Hmm."

"Okay, listen to Mr."

Zhang Xiaolei squinted his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

The scar on his back is still aching.

He can't forget the pain of those ten years.

Every ugly centipede-like scar made him feel hot and painful at night, making him toss and turn, and he couldn't fall asleep.

He wanted to forget, simply let go of hatred, and live his life so ordinarily.

But he couldn't let it go.

"It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but I ......can't bear it for just over two years," he sighed softly, "Even the crane does not die, I don't sleep well." ”
