Chapter 84: Soft-heartedness
After staying in Yachang for one night, the next morning, Du Jun and Da Zhuang's family returned to Zhaojia Village.
There are many good friends in the village, and they still have to help with things.
Even if the relationship was not deep, Du Jun still decided to come over to see what he could do.
When I entered the village, I found that the whole village was dead silent and quiet.
I couldn't see the children's laughter and play, and every villager I met, either dressed in linen and filial piety, was grief-stricken, or hurried, glanced at Du Jun, and then turned to other things, and their tired faces were covered with bloodshots.
Driving the carriage all the way to the east, you can sometimes see people rummaging through the burned houses along the way.
As he was walking, a few officials came in front, and the person in the middle was really Song Jiang.
"Miss Du", Song Jiang shouted at Du Jun.
"Oh! Song catches the head! Du Jun hurriedly stopped the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
"Miss Du, why did you come to Zhaojia Village? Is there any relative of you in the village? Song Jiang came to Du Jun's side and asked suspiciously.
"I am from Zhaojia Village, and my home is in the east of the village, but, Song Zhutou, why are you here?"
Isn't it a quick arrest for criminals?
"Oh! I've been doing some things nearby these days, and there are pirates reported in Zhaojia Village, and the county magistrate ordered me to come over and take a look, Miss Du, this time the pirates are menacing, your family is okay, right? ”
"My house is remote, and it is said that there is nothing wrong, so I am planning to go back and have a look," Du Jun replied.
"Okay, I won't delay Miss Du, if you have something, you can find me. Tomorrow there is a plaque on your farm, I may not be able to get through, sorry. ”
"It's okay, business matters, if you don't say it, I almost forgot to put on the plaque tomorrow."
This is true, since he arrived at the duck farm yesterday, Du Jun has not thought about the things in Zhuangzi again, and his mind is all about this pirate slaughter of the village.
Seeing Song Jiang get up to leave, Du Jun hurriedly stopped, "Song Zhutou, I have a thing, I didn't think about it, I have a duck farm in the village, and I came back yesterday because of this duck farm, I heard what my housekeeper said, I heard someone in the village calling for help, and I found the pirate, but I also lived in the village, and many families in the village have dogs, and no one heard the dog barking that night, including now, there are no dogs barking in the village, I suspect that there are still things we don't know, a little foolish, Hope to help these villagers. ”
Song Jiang also just arrived this morning, and when he heard what Du Jun said, he listened to it and found that there was indeed no barking of dogs.
Could it really be as Du Jun said, this time Zhaojia Village was slaughtered, not only pirates, but also other things involved in his ****** replied, "Thank you, Miss Du, we will go to investigate."
Turning around, he instructed a servant, "Kangda, go and ask the villagers, why don't the dogs in the village bark?" After saying hello, come and say hello! ”
"Yes, Song Zhutou!" , the official named Kangda, turned around and went to the villagers to inquire.
Du Jun also said goodbye, and then walked to his home.
At this time, Li Zheng Zhao Jiacai's family, with broken walls and black walls, told the fierceness of the fire that night. Zhao Cai'er, who was holding her stomach, hugged Zhao Yuxin, the only survivor of the third uncle's family, and anxiously waited for the arrival of the second uncle Zhao Rui.
That night, the Xu family was only robbed of their belongings, and she escaped in the thatched house, but her father, eldest brother, and second brother all died.
Now the only thing that can be relied on is the second uncle's family.
If the second uncle doesn't care about her, she really has no hope.
The old mansion of the Zhao family was originally in the west of the village, near the river, and in this pirate slaughter, it suffered a lot of losses.
The family's belongings and food were looted, Xiao Wang's house was also burned, and among her three children, Zhao Fen, the youngest, was looted and her whereabouts are unknown.
The eldest son, Zhao Jin, was slashed in the back, and his bones were visible, and he is still in a coma, and his life and death are unknown.
At this moment, Xiao Wang grabbed his son, knelt beside the bed, and wailed.
"Damn bandits, goddamn bastards, you're trying to kill our family! Son, open your eyes and look at your mother, don't want your mother! ......”
In the past two days, she has cried and fainted many times, and every time she wakes up, she still has to get up again and grab her son, for fear that after waking up, this son will be gone.
Zhao Shugui hugged his youngest son, squatted on the ground and looked at Xiao Wang coldly.
As for what happened in the Zhao family's old mansion that night, only they themselves knew.
"Dad, mother!" Zhao Shulin and Zhao Shufang pushed the door and rushed in.
During this time, the two of them had been in the county seat, and when they heard that Zhaojia Village had encountered pirates, they hurried back.
"The woods! Shufang! Why did you come back? If you don't come back, you won't be able to see your mother....."
Wang, who was originally sitting in a daze and had no sound, cried out in a loud voice, and it could be seen that she was really frightened this time.
Du Jun turned around, and his and Aunt Liu's home was indeed as Zhao Dazhuang said, it was not affected, and he turned the carriage and went to the Zhao family's old house.
The old Zhao family still has Gangzi, what about this younger brother!
When I arrived at the door of the old house, I happened to meet Zhao Shulin who went out to find a doctor.
"Uncle!" Somehow, Du Jun shouted out this title, maybe it was because he hadn't seen it for a long time, maybe it was the tragic impact of Zhaojia Village.
"Ahh Du Jun! ”
After shouting for the first time, it was much more natural, "Uncle, what are you doing here, how is your family?" ”
Zhao Shulin briefly told Du Jun, and when he heard that Gangzi was fine, Du Jun took out five taels of silver from his arms, "Uncle, come in a hurry, take this money and use it first, I'll go back and report to my mother first." ”
"I still have money in my hand, I can't use you", Zhao Shulin excused himself, he knew the relationship between Du Jun and the old mansion, how could he still ask for Du Jun's silver.
Du Jun ignored the uncle's struggle, and stuffed it directly into his hand, "Take it, it's all this time, don't see you outside, isn't there still a gangzi, my mother must not worry, I'm leaving!" ”
After speaking, Du Jun jumped into the carriage and continued inexplicably: "I have a farm in Anxian County, my uncle is free, come and have a look, I can teach the children, and I can also make up for it." ”
"Okay, when this matter is over, I'll go over, this silver should be borrowed by my uncle in advance, and I will pay you back when I earn money."
Du Jun waved his hand indifferently and left.
Only Zhao Shulin, who stayed in place, remained.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, Zhao Shufang walked out, "Brother, who were you talking to just now?" ”
"Du Jun came over just now", spread out his palm, revealing the five taels of silver.
Zhao Shufang looked at the little brother helplessly, "Just take what Du Jun gave, there is really no money at home, just when we borrow it from Du Jun, we will pay it back later, but don't tell my mother yet, I'm afraid that my mother will trouble Du Jun again." ”
"I think so too, only you know about this, don't say it to my eldest brother."
"Well, I know, little brother, I'm in, you can also go to the doctor."
