Chapter 879: Cloth
The villagers were simple, and after they showed their identities, they immediately packed up the house.
It was still raining heavily, so I borrowed the villagers' houses, fetched hot water, washed and changed into clean clothes, and the villagers brought them food.
As the only two girls in the team, the women in the village naturally took the initiative to take care of Wei Yaoqing and Jujube Cake.
Wang Xu wanted to come and take a look, but saw that several peasant women in the house were talking to jujube cakes, and they didn't forget to do the work in their hands.
He stood at the door for a moment, and then left. He couldn't get into their conversation, and the only person he could talk to was lying down again.
After a night's rest, the villagers even prepared air-dried jerky for them to eat on the way.
Seeing this, Xie Sanye couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The villagers here are really hospitable. ”
"Not only is it hospitable, but it's also simple and kind." Wang Xu looked at the piles of dried meat and sighed, "The climate here is suitable, and the harvest is bumper year after year, which is a rare and good place." ”
Xie Sanye nodded, and when he saw the jujube cake climbing into the carriage, he couldn't help asking, "Master Weitian...... Didn't warn last night! ”
"I haven't heard the jujube cake say......" Wang Xu pondered slightly, as if he was still a little uneasy, and strode forward, "I'll ask." ”
Xie Sanye's eyes fell on Wang Xu's body, and when he saw him come forward to talk to the jujube cake, the two said a few words, and Wang Xu climbed into the carriage.
"Is this worrying, do you want to take a look for yourself?" Xie Sanye shook his head as he spoke, and was about to turn around, but saw Wang Xu jump out of the carriage and come over as if he was holding something in his hand.
"I didn't make a sound this time, but when I went, I saw her holding a piece ......of cloth in her hand," Wang Xu said, handing it to Cui Jing who walked beside them, "I look a little familiar." ”
"The fabric used in the robes of the soldiers of my Great Chu army." Cui Jing called the commander of the officers and soldiers over as he spoke, and asked him, "Do you recognize this?" ”
The commander of the officers and soldiers pinched his hand and touched it: "The underwear and robes in the army." ”
The laws of Great Chu are strict, and the shape of the armor and underwear worn by different armies is slightly different.
The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Barracks, the Imperial City Forbidden Army, and the soldiers in each state capital are all dressed differently, and this piece of cloth belongs to the people in the barracks.
"How can there be cloth from the barracks here?" The commander of the officers and soldiers said, and he felt strange.
Cui Jing and Wang Xu's faces changed slightly at this time, as if they had thought of something.
Wang Xu hurriedly asked people to ask the village chief: "It was those peasant women who stayed in her house last night, maybe it was the needlework and fabric of those peasant women. The villagers here are simple and hospitable, even when we pass by, we can prepare things like a lot of dried meat and the like, if someone is injured or something, do you think they will save it? ”
"Of course it will." The officers and soldiers commanded, remembering the honest appearance of those villagers, they nodded again and again, "Maybe there are people in my Dachu military camp in the village." ”
Maybe it's an ordinary soldier, but maybe it's not as simple as an ordinary soldier.
The village chief was still surprised when he was brought, and when they asked him like this, he nodded again and again, saying that he had indeed saved an officer and soldier more than a month ago, but the officer and soldier left after recovering from his injuries, and not long after leaving, there were still people who came to inquire about the news of the officers and soldiers, but at that time the officers and soldiers were no longer there.
As for the fabric, the peasant woman who was called said that the undergarment of the officer and soldier at that time was torn and could not be worn, so she threw away the undergarment, and the peasant woman thought that the fabric could be used for patching, so she kept it.
Cui Jing was silent for a moment and asked the village chief, "Has someone come to inquire about the news of the officers and soldiers?" "In today's world, will anyone come to inquire about the disappearance of ordinary officers and soldiers?
The village chief said more than once, and several groups of people came to ask about the news of the officer and soldier.
Catching a deserter won't just stare at an ordinary deserter! Wang Xu looked at Cui Jing, and unexpectedly saw a bit of caution in the eyes of the other party, either this deserter committed something, or this officer and soldier had a special identity? What kind of officers and soldiers are so special that they need several groups of people to ask?
After learning that the officer and soldier had recovered from their injuries and left on their own, Cui Jing asked the village chief to go back, and then turned around and went to the carriage to get the map.
They are walking on the official road, after all, they have a clerical identity in hand, and the official road is always the safest. This official road is tortuous, the nearest place on the map is Tong County, Tong County is still the place of Da Chu, but the tributaries of the Linyang River happen to pass through Tong County, and the main stream of the Linyang River goes up and then goes up is the most tense place of the war, speaking of which seems to be the missing near Qingzhou City on the upper reaches of the Linyang River......
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, Cui Jing and Wang Xu nodded in understanding, and raised their hands at the moment: "Let's go!" Hurry back to Beijing! ”
This time, the "quick return to Beijing" is not for fun, but almost day and night, non-stop hurrying, the original seven or eight days of travel, forced to arrive at the gate of Chang'an City on the fifth day.
It was dawn at this time, and there was still a full hour before they left the city gates, but there was already a carriage waiting for them.
The 100 officers and soldiers accompanying them were all their people, so Cui Jing, Wang Xu, Xie Sanye and others did not shy away from it, but just let the carriage and horse team stop on the side of the road, and then dismounted and walked towards the carriage.
The carriage was much larger than the average two-horse carriage, with four horses tied to it, and it stopped there like a behemoth, twice as large as an ordinary carriage.
The three of them stepped into the carriage on their own.
The three old ladies in the carriage had been waiting inside for a long time, yawning.
After calling my grandfather a few times, I got down to business.
"The miracle, I have already played Your Majesty, the miracle is real, as for those people in the rivers and lakes, together with Xue Xingshu, they also died in Jinan City. I did our best to complete this errand, except for Wei Liu's affairs......" Wang Xu said and sighed, "On the way, she made two moves, once she spilled a bowl of porridge, and once she grabbed a piece of cloth......
Wang Xu explained everything clearly, and after he finished speaking, he waited for the three old ladies to speak.
"So, how many of you good men are not as good as her, a person who can't say that she can't move while lying down?" Old lady Wang turned her head and looked like she didn't want to look at it, "The face of the clan has made you lose all of them." ”
"Now is not the time to lecture." Compared with the anger of the old lady Wang, Cui Sikong didn't say a word, but the old lady Xie looked smiling, reached out and patted Xie Sanye's head twice, his position was not ready to be handed over to Xie Sanye, so he was not so angry, just said, still a little embarrassed, "Is this a jealous talent?" ”
"She shot twice." Cui Yuandao pondered for a long time, and then said, "Pouring porridge is to save your lives, this is no longer a trivial matter, but compared to the second one, this is really just a trivial matter." It's not fabric, maybe it's fate. ”
The former one saved people's lives, and if the cloth he grabbed later was really related to the missing Major General Huang, it was the lifeblood of Da Chu! The fate of a nation!
