Chapter Seventy-Eight: Home
Tang Luer and Mrs. Tang. And when the beckoning cat returned to Xingqi Island, it was already the beginning of August. When I left the island, it was still hot, and when I set foot on the island, the climate was already cooler.
After drifting on the sea for nearly ten days, the hook-nosed man who had picked up Mrs. Tang before got off the boat and left alone when he entered the sea. Tang Luer once asked Mrs. Tang who the uncle was, and Mrs. Tang only said that she was the person who owed her a favor before, and the rest didn't say more. When the boat was about to dock, Tang Lu'er scratched Zhaocai lying on her lap, looked at Mrs. Tang with a pair of big round eyes, and said mysteriously: "Grandma, you shouldn't be some outsider, right?" Many words are because they have provoked the enemy, and they are tired of the rivers and lakes, so they are incognito on that Xingqi Island and live a dull life? ”
"Don't daydream for me here, hurry up and pack your things and get home." Mrs. Tang waved her palm, and was lying on Tang Lu'er's lap squinting her eyes to bask in the sun. The fluff of his whole body suddenly exploded, and then he jumped off Tang Lu'er's legs, and fled with a snort. As soon as Tang Lu'er scolded "no righteousness", she was slapped firmly, she shrank her head and ran back to the cabin with a scream, Donald stood behind him with a golden knife and shouted: "What's it called, I haven't used my strength yet, how old are you, you can't learn to be a girl, you don't plan to get married."
"Grandma dwarf, even if I'm not a beauty, at least I'm a woman, there are so many men who are singles in this world, don't worry, I can't rely on you for a lifetime."
began to talk to her poorly again, and the more she talked, the more embarrassed she became, and Mrs. Tang immediately yelled at her. The daily routine of slapstick began to play out, and Zhao Cai hurried to the deck, found a quiet place, curled up and squinted to continue basking in the sun.
When the ship docked, it was the time when the black gold fell in the west, and the low houses of the black boat near the pier were all gilded with a layer of golden light by the setting sun; Smoke had risen from the shore, and among the sails of the forest, fishermen returning from fishing were carrying baskets and pulling nets, shouting and coming out of the cabin; On the side of the boat, naked children were either laughing and playing, or they were chased and shouted by adults with big sticks......
Finally home. Return to the original peaceful life, no pursuit, no escape, no deception.
Tang Lu'er stood on the deck and stretched her arms, looked at the golden-purple sky, felt the familiar sea breeze, and then retracted her gaze, and saw that on the dock, Meng San had been waiting there for some time.
"Ah, it's the third brother, how did he know that we were back?" Tang Lu'er beckoned to Meng San with some surprise, and then turned her head to say a word to Mrs. Tang, not wanting to see Mrs. Tang's face suddenly sank.
"Grandma, what's wrong......" Tang Lu'er was puzzled, Mrs. Tang had already crossed her and walked to the shore. Tang Lu'er was stunned, Mrs. Tang looked a little wrong, no matter how much she looked at Meng San unpleasantly, she wouldn't have a black face when she saw it, and people still came to pick them up.
It's just that after Tang Lu'er stepped on the shore, she also noticed that something was wrong. The people on this pier. But anyone who knew them had a little unbearability in their eyes when they saw it first. Then, from everyone's greetings and Meng San's few simple words, Tang Lu'er finally knew what was wrong.
Her house caught fire in the middle of the night last night, and because there was a lot of wine stored in her house, it suddenly added fuel to the fire, and in the blink of an eye, it was connected to half a street. The fire was not extinguished until this morning, but fortunately there were no casualties, but the losses were not small......
"How could there be a fire?" Tang Lu'er was a little stunned, "The fire came out of my house?" But there is no one in the house, where is the fire? ”
"I heard it was a thief." Meng San glanced at Mrs. Tang and said thoughtfully. The people who gathered around him also gossiped, and for a while, no one asked Tang Lu'er how he had come over this month, and how he had escaped when he encountered pirates.
"Go back and see." After hearing a few words, Mrs. Tang immediately calmed down, pulled Tang Lu'er's arm, and gave Meng San a look, then rushed out of the crowd and walked towards her house in a hurry. There were still people talking about the fire in the back, and some people were shouting a few pale words of comfort in the back, Tang Lu'er followed Mrs. Tang to the donkey cart hired by Meng San, and immediately looked at Meng San uneasily and asked, "Third brother, is it really because my house was caught by thieves and caused a fire?"
"Hmm." Eminent... nodded, glanced at Mrs. Tang, then turned to Tang Lu'er, and then glanced at Zhaocai lying at Tang Lu'er's feet, and then showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled: "How is the girl doing this month?" Why did you bring a little civet cat back? ”
Tang Lu'er nodded in a daze. Then he asked, "My house has all burned down?"
Meng Sanyi sighed: "Half of the street has burned down, and now many people are homeless, and now the government is arranging a place." When Meng San said this, he glanced at Mrs. Tang, and said with a little caution on his face: "The junior has cleaned up a room behind the shop today, and during this time, Grandma Tang will take the girl to live there first, it is a little crowded, but it is better than going to live in the place arranged by the government."
"You saw that fire last night?" Mrs. Tang suddenly asked, Meng... nodded, and then didn't wait for Mrs. Tang to ask again, so she continued: "It's just that the junior is incompetent and didn't catch the thief."
"Do you know where the thief came from?" Don't skip words.
"It shouldn't be from the island."
"It's not from the island," Tang Lu'er was surprised, "What kind of thief deliberately crossed the ocean to steal things from my broken house?" ”
Meng San was asked for a moment, paused for a moment, and then smiled: "Who knows, maybe he just came out of a big family, and he happened to pass by that alley, so he couldn't say if he wanted to take something else."
Tang Lu'er didn't have the heart to discern what he said, the fox glanced at him suspiciously, and then turned to Mrs. Tang and said, "Grandma......"
"Let's go back and have a look." Mrs. Donald patted her on the head and sighed. "It doesn't matter if the house is gone, it's okay if the people are okay."
Meng San was silent, turned his head to look at the street he passed, and saw that every house on both sides was lit up one after another, and the warm light came out of the window, revealing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Tang Luer was gloomy and wanted to go home, but when she finally got home, she found that her home was gone......
In a short time, the donkey cart stopped near the alley, and they had seen the devastation from a distance. And the closer you get to this, the more pungent the smell of the fire will become.
got out of the car and looked at the past, where was the appearance of the past.
There were also some people around the street here, and when they came back, they all came up to ask. It's just that everyone is in a bad mood, and after saying a few words, they all go their separate ways.
Tang Lu'er hugged Zhaocai, followed Mrs. Tang, walked to the door of her house, and looked at the house that had become blackened in a daze.
"I'll go to the cellar and have a look, and you can go to your house and see if there's anything else you can use, and bring them out." Mrs. Tang didn't feel much sadness on her face, patted Tang Lu'er on the head, explained a word, and walked in first.
Meng San followed behind Mrs. Tang, waiting for Tang Lu'er to walk away before he whispered: "It's the people from the Northern Desert, they found this place some time ago, and they waited for more than half a month, but they didn't wait for anyone, and in a fit of anger, they set fire to the house."
"Gone now?"
"Yes, I left early this morning." Eminent... nodded, did not change his stubbornness, and said with a hippie smile, "Uncle Shi, don't worry, I gave them fake news and asked them to go south, and they won't come back for the time being." ”
Mrs. Tang glanced at him with a cold face, and Meng San smiled: "Don't be angry, Uncle Shi, I'll rebuild the house for Uncle Shi immediately."
"One is more useless than the other," Mrs. Donald snorted, and turned to walk to the backyard.
Meng San looked at Mrs. Tang's back, wiped his sweat with palpitations, and breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Chen's house. Chen Yanhong, who had just finished dinner, was teasing the petite dog and ordered to the side: "You go out tomorrow to see if Tang Lu'er has come back." On that day, she clearly said that she would leave the next day, but I have been back for two days, and she has not come back yet. ”
"What is the girl going to do with her, yesterday there was a water in the alley, and I heard that the houses in that area were burned down." Xiao Liang said puzzled while tying Jiaojiao with a new bell.
Chen Yanhong smiled: "It's because her house was burned, so I want to ask her what her plans are." If there is no place to live, I can move a room for her here, our Chen Mansion, the most important thing is a house. ”
"The girl is really kind-hearted, Miss Tang can know the girl, but it is a good blessing that she has cultivated in eight lifetimes." After Xiao Liang helped Jiaojiao adjust the size of the bell ring, he slapped a sycophant again.
Chen Yanhong smiled implicitly, picked up Jiaojiao, picked up the comb next to her, and gently brushed the hair on her body.
On the evening of August 12, the day when the moon was about to be full, a two-horse carriage with a green canopy suddenly stopped at the gate of Liuzhou, which was called Jinyuan. After listening to the voice, the porter was surprised, there were no guests who came to visit at this time in the past, so he came out to take a look, and then he was shocked, and hurriedly shouted inside, "The prince is back", and then he walked down the steps quickly, ran to the carriage and bowed deeply.
Shangguan Yu got out of the carriage, and after entering through the main entrance, he took a look at the big empty mansion, and then walked inside with a calm face. After walking to the Yimen, he looked at Mama Tong, who was hurrying to greet her, and asked, "Where is Grandmother now?"
"I just heard that the prince is back, and the old lady went to the ancestral hall." Mama Tong glanced at Shangguan Yu and sighed softly, "It's good that the prince is back, but this time the old lady is really worried, and she hasn't slept well for more than a month." ”
Shangguan Yu paused, and then walked towards the ancestral hall.
