Chapter 50: Everyone Thinks He's Dumb!
"Catch big brother, how about it? What do you think? ”
Su Mingzhe hurriedly greeted him, frowning, and his already nervous hands were shaking at this time.
He was afraid, afraid of hearing the news of his sister's family's accident, and afraid that he would not be able to explain to his father and mother at home when he went home!
The catcher quickly collected Su Mingze's money, so he naturally took care of it. He had already looked through all the booklets he could open, but he didn't find a woman named Su Wanniang.
"Brother, look elsewhere! The few people you are looking for, as well as the one named Su Wanniang, are not in the book. After he finished speaking, he sighed again.
When Su Mingzhe heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he looked incredulous.
Impossible, impossible......
My sister's family was fine before, and my brother-in-law wrote a letter to the family before. It's only been a few years, it's only been a few years, why are people gone?
After thinking about it, the man saw Su Mingzhe's devastated appearance and explained: "You should have heard the wind before you came, and the people in Guhuai Town were all infected with the epidemic. Even in the end, General Zhengxi and Mr. Hao came over, but there was no way to stop it. The plague is menacing, and where can people stop it? ”
seems to be reminded of the scene in Guhuai Town at that time, and I still have palpitations when I catch it.
Sighing again, he patted Su Mingzhe on the shoulder: "Brother must be from out of town, right?" Let's go back as soon as possible! Ay! ”
That catch fast is also a piece Su Mingzhe is foreign accent, and he looks white. The people of the Northwest are not so fair-skinned. Look at it, it looks like you can't carry it on your shoulders and can't lift it in your hands.
Su Mingzhe returned to the inn in Anding County in a daze, he lay on the bed with a wooden face.
That's it, without eating or drinking all day.
If it weren't for the fact that he was tired and fell asleep at the end, Su Mingzhe estimated that he would be sick.
Early the next morning, Su Mingzhe got up before dawn.
He wiped his face briefly, then left the room and went to the carriage to get into the carriage. He wants to go back, and since his sister's name is not found in the book, it means that his sister has not had an accident.
In addition, the brother-in-law is fine, since this is the case, then, they may have left.
My sister maybe, maybe she will go back to her parents' house.
With such speculation, Su Mingzhe hired a carriage and hurried to the south.
At this time, the Northwest Frontier!
The northwest border of the Tianchu Dynasty was windy all year round, with a lot of sandy land and very little cultivated land.
The people here rely on growing some things or raising some to make a basic living. Compared to the rest, the people of the Northwest Frontier are living in poverty.
In addition, although it is not a perennial battle, if there is a war, there will always be ripples.
The wind is still blowing, and although it is only the end of October, the northwest border has already begun to put on cotton clothes.
In the town closest to the camp on the Northwest Frontier, you can occasionally see people in thick jackets hurrying away.
'Huhuhuhu......'
In a small town, in a small earthen walled courtyard, a young man stood in a daze.
"Hey, this kid is here again!"
The big man who was chopping firewood on the side smiled and spit out a word. The bearded man looked very fierce, but his voice was not so rough.
"I said you're a big log, what are you doing staring at other people? Do your job, all day long. The medicine boy who was boiling medicine was fanning the fire, and raised his eyes to look at the young man who was in a daze.
This man, since the gentleman rescued him, he has not spoken a word.
Everyone thought he was dumb!
"Yo hey, you little thing, and you talked about me! You don't look at your grandfather and my bones, one can overwhelm you! How? Begging for a beating, isn't it? As he spoke, the big man stroked his beard and lifted one arm vigorously, showing off his tendons and flesh to the medicine boy.
The medicine boy didn't quarrel anymore, but muttered and whispered to the big man: "Do you think he is dumb or stimulated?" Why don't you open your mouth? ”
It's been almost a month, of course, it's been almost a month since I took him on the road, and this man hasn't said a word.
Looking at the young and weak Wenwen, how can he be so stubborn!
When Dahan heard the medicine boy's words, he laughed: "Haha, what do you kid know!" ”
'Smack! ’
Another axe fell, and a piece of wood was cut in two.
Seeing the medicine boy's ignorant appearance, the big man was worried that the person's illness would get better, and explained in a low voice: "What are you and your husband here for?" Think for yourself, where did you bring him back? ”
After saying a few words, Dahan looked like he could understand if you thought about it, so that the medicine boy immediately put down the fan and grabbed his hair.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through the medicine boy's mind. His eyes immediately widened and he understood. When he looked at the young man again, the medicine boy's eyes were more complicated and regretful.
Of course, it's more about pitying him.
"I see!"
said something sullenly, and the medicine boy stopped gossiping.
He suddenly understood why the young man was in a daze, and why he had not spoken. Perhaps, he is uncomfortable! His family was gone, leaving him alone, and he was lonely and sad.
The big man seems to be very arrogant, but he is careful. Seeing the child's understanding, he shook his head helplessly.
In the courtyard, there was a sudden silence.
Standing under a tree in the courtyard, the man looked slender in a long robe, but he was a little thin. Wearing a thick military padded jacket that doesn't match well.
Perhaps because of the torture of the illness for several days, the man's face was very thin, and his face was reduced, revealing his bright eyes.
The young man didn't do anything, just stood in the yard and stared out.
All he could see was the world in front of him. Like a frog at the bottom of a well, he can only see the sky above his head.
However, those landscapes were not what he wanted.
What the man saw was what he was thinking in his head, and it was the bits and pieces of the past.
These days in the muddy, he almost forgot who he was. He didn't say a word, he almost forgot to speak.
In the small courtyard of the small house, the sound of horses' hooves came from the street outside, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
"Huh? Is the Great General back? ”
Speaking of which, because Mr. Hao is here, General Zhengxi will come back from time to time!
When the medicine boy heard the horse's hooves, he immediately stood up, muttered to himself, and hurried over to open the door.
Sure enough, when I opened the far door, I saw that General Zhengxi was really standing at the door. And behind him, there was no one with him.
The far gate opened, and General Zhengxi threw the rope to the medicine boy, and then walked towards the courtyard with a few oil paper bags and two wine jars.
When he stepped in and looked at the man who was standing and didn't understand, General Zhengxi said loudly: "Hey, scholar, you can come and have a drink too!" After speaking, the general of Zhengxi stepped inside, and said as he walked: "It's better to drink this sorrowful thing, and a meal will eliminate ten thousand gold." ”
The leisurely voice of the general Zhengxi came into the man's ears, and the man, who had not moved a step, suddenly raised his head and moved.
