Episode 5: Mengmeng's parents enter the palace
Mengmeng's parents were also happy to hear that their daughter had made great contributions to the country. I heard that the king had sent people to hurry to the beautiful town, and he would arrive in less than three days. Xiao Yu also said happily: "Your second elder should go to the palace to enjoy the blessings." "Unexpectedly, as soon as the second uncle returned to the police station, he was discovered by Officer Ma. Only then did Officer Ma know that it was the second uncle who hid Mengmeng's parents. Immediately sent someone to arrest Mengmeng's parents. Mengmeng's parents were taken back to prison again.
It's just that this time is different, although Mengmeng's parents were escorted back to the prison again, they were locked alone in an elegant secret room, and there were accompanying soldiers to chat, eating and drinking with each other. Soon, the king's messenger came to the beautiful town, and the people of the town came out to watch. I saw Officer Ma following Mayor Jia and the others unhurriedly to welcome the messenger to the town yamen. Mayor Jia politely said to the messenger: "I heard that Meng Meng has made great contributions and was named the general of the town country, so why didn't she come back with her, our whole town is waiting for the hero to return." The messenger said politely: "The beautiful town is heroic, Meng Meng is only 17 years old, and he has become a great country for the country, which has never happened before." How could the king be willing to let her leave the palace, Mengmeng is helping the king to straighten out the army. Meng Meng's flying skills are superb, and she can help the king smoothly adjust the formation and supervise military discipline. The messenger continued: "I have come this time to take Mengmeng's parents into the palace. It's just that I didn't see them. ”
"Oh", Officer Ma hurriedly laughed: "Mengmeng's parents have been in poor health since they were separated from Mengmeng 3 years ago. Later, when he contracted typhoid fever, he went to live in the mountains. This Meng Meng also knew it when he came back later. It's just that Mengmeng's parents heard that their daughter has made great contributions and misses Mengmeng very much. In addition, Mengmeng's parents contracted an infectious disease, and we brought them back from the mountains and lived in solitary conditions. ”
"Oh, there's something else." The messenger pondered for a moment and sent a carrier pigeon back to the palace with a letter. The messenger took up residence at the town yamen.
Soon, Mengmeng learned that her father and mother were sick, and she was very anxious. The king knew that Mengmeng wanted to go back to accompany her parents for treatment, so he said to Mengmeng, "You better go back to visit your parents first." You have the ability to fly, and I have a royal doctor in my palace, so you can ask the imperial doctor if there is any magic medicine that can be used to heal your parents. When the time comes, you are welcome to return to the palace with your family. The king, me, and the queen have treated you as a daughter, but don't forget to come back, and remember to bring back a letter if you have any difficulties. ”
After listening to what the king said, Mengmeng was moved and couldn't cry. Then he went to say goodbye to the queen reluctantly. She heard from the imperial physician that there was a kind of thumb flower that grew in the snow-capped mountains, and no one had ever picked it, but it was recorded in ancient books that it could cure typhoid fever and all plagues. Meng Meng listened and thanked him and left.
Meng Meng immediately flew to the snow mountain, and spent several days picking the thumb flowers of the snow mountain, tired and hungry, and almost fainted to death on the snow mountain. With strong perseverance, she continued to fly back to the beautiful town. At this time, the people in the town saw Meng Meng flying from the sky and ran to tell each other. Soon the streets were crowded with people, and everyone's cheers made Meng Meng excited.
When Officer Ma stood aside with hatred and fear, and was thinking about how to use to lower the little girl, Meng Meng had already spotted Officer Ma in the crowd, and greeted Officer Ma politely and said, "Uncle Ma, what about my father and mother, I have already picked a miracle medicine that can cure their diseases." ”
Officer Ma also pretended to be polite and said, "You should go and ask Mayor Jia about this, I am mainly in charge of street security." ”
Meng Meng hurriedly came to the town yamen, the mayor of the town has long been in cahoots with Officer Ma and others, he is the biggest corrupt official in the town, and I don't know how many people have been looted over the years. This time, however, the mayor had other plans. He wanted to try the little girl's heart first. The mayor of the town received Meng Meng very politely. and secretly bribed the messenger so that the messenger would report to the king, saying that Meng Meng would never return to the palace. Meng Meng came back to visit her parents and also contracted typhoid fever, although her body was not as weak as her parents, but she had lost the ability to fly.
Under the leadership of the mayor, Meng Meng soon met her father and mother. It's just that the parents didn't have typhoid fever as the letter said, but they were fine. The mayor of the town observed Mengmeng and said with feeling: "Our beautiful town has finally produced a big hero like you, you see how backward our town is, the GDP of Dongfu Town has caught up with us several times, and our people here still travel by ox carts." Mengmeng, the mayor and your parents all hope that you can stay in the beautiful town and continue to shine, there are talents in the palace, but we only have you. Mengmeng's parents also nodded.
Meng Meng thinks about it, my father and mother have never left the beautiful town in their lives, and they will definitely not be used to living in the palace so far away. In addition, since he is back, this time he will listen to the mayor and his parents.
It's just that after Mengmeng decided to stay in the beautiful town and not leave, the palace sent someone to the town to send a lot of treasures and letters to Mengmeng, all of which were robbed by the mayor and Officer Ma and others behind their backs, but Mengmeng's family was kept in the dark, and all this was known by the second uncle. The dog of the second uncle's house is called treasure, and when the mayor or police officer Ma hides silver treasures in a cave, the treasure will bite the trouser leg of the second uncle, and then the second uncle will hide in the dark with the treasure to watch. It's just that this time the second uncle knew that the treasures from the palace were specially for Mengmeng, and he knew that there was a cat. Later, he sneaked into the cave and found the letter, only to learn that the mayor and the messenger had deceived the king and queen, falsely claiming that Mengmeng's family had an infectious disease. No wonder, the treasure sent is for Meng Meng.
The second uncle took the opportunity to tell Mengmeng. Meng Meng also gritted her teeth angrily, but after thinking about it, what do I want so many treasures for, I just need to be with my parents, plus now the mayor is good to our whole family, with the mayor's care, my father and mother don't need to drag their sick bodies out to work. Think about the ups and downs in the past, what is there to worry about.
It's just that what happened a few days later made Meng Meng change her mind, and she finally decided to fight back. On that day, there was really someone in the town of Beautiful who had typhoid fever, which is said to have started with a cowman who was pulling a cart, and many people were killed and injured in a few days. The mayor of the town knew that so many people could not be killed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep his official position, so he secretly fled to the homes of relatives in neighboring countries with gold, silver, treasures, and family members. Meng Meng learned that the mayor planned to escape, she bravely went to the mayor to theorize and reprimanded loudly: "You forgot, you put my family in prison twice, and deceived the king twice. And he was greedy for a lot of gold and silver treasures, and this time there was a plague in the town, and you planned to flee, but I am afraid that before you can escape, I will fly to the king and denounce you. I didn't want to worry about the previous matter with you, but if you abandon the life and death of the people in the town, I will not let you succeed. As he spoke, Meng Meng stared at the mayor viciously, instantly flew up to a height of 10,000 meters, and then spun and went straight down, and the mayor was scared half to death.
The mayor calmed down and said: "I used to like silver, but this time you saw the speed of the spread of the plague, I also thought of a lot of ways, and sent many people to investigate and rescue, but it didn't work." If there is a way, who would like to go into exile at my age. ”
Meng Meng said resolutely: "I have a way, the day before yesterday I had saved an old woman with the thumb flower brought back from the snow mountain for the first time, and she is now fine." So as long as I fly to the snowy mountains and bring back the thumb flower, the whole town will be saved. ”
"Oh!" The mayor of the town said in surprise: "Yes, dare to be kind, Mengmeng, you hurry up and fly to the snow mountain to pick up some more thumb flowers." ”
Meng Meng said: "It's just that it's very far away to go to the snow mountain, and it takes about 2 days to go back and forth at the fastest speed, plus the thumbs are grown in the cracks of the stones, which is not easy to find, there are tens of thousands of people in the town, and there are currently hundreds of people who are sick, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
The mayor thought for a moment and said, "I know of a few caves where infected people can be isolated first, and then the whole people will be disinfected, and ox carts will be temporarily banned from traveling. You just have to go back as fast as possible. ”
A messenger next to him said: "In fact, the thumb flower is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine recorded in the ancient books, the medicinal properties are strong, if the picked thumb flower is put in a large pot and boiled with water, each person only needs a few drops to be applied to the Shenque acupoint to have an effect." ”
Meng Meng said happily: "That's great! I don't have to have one flower per person, so I can get back faster. ”
The mayor looked at Meng Meng guiltily and said, "If you go to the palace in the future, will you still denounce me?" ”
Meng Meng said solemnly: "If the mayor returns all the treasures he coveted before to the people, I won't tell you, otherwise, I don't dare to guarantee it." Meng Meng continued: "You are willing to cooperate with me in my efforts to rectify the plague this time, and I will say a few kind words for you from the king at that time, and you can still pass the credit." ”
The mayor sighed and said: "If you want so much money, it's not like people dying like lights going out, I have also figured it out, as long as the people of the town finally get rid of the plague this time, I will definitely make up for it, return the greedy silver taels, and do more things that are beneficial to the people." Be a good officer. ”
Meng Meng and the little official glanced at the mayor and laughed.
With the efforts of Meng Meng and the mayor, the beautiful town finally got peace, swept away the plague, and the mayor has changed since then, repaired bridges and paved roads, and did a lot of livelihood projects, and the beautiful town gradually caught up with Dongfu Town. And Meng Meng and her parents went to the palace at the king's kind invitation. The villagers of the beautiful town reluctantly bid farewell to the cute family.
So what will happen when Mengmeng's family enters the palace? Check out the next episode.
