Chapter 176: Song'er is gone
Wei Zhixing walked in front of the little soldier with a horse, and silently watched the girl climb into an ox cart outside the city gate, and slowly left, her figure gradually moving away.
The soldiers who have always been arrogant and accustomed to defending the city, their sight was suddenly blocked by one person and one horse, and there was a kind of dissatisfaction that was suppressed in an instant, and they were still unhappy, and they raised their heads and were about to get angry, but the scolding words were swallowed back alive, and they did not dare to make another mistake.
Xiao Bing was speechless, looking at himself like a snake in front of him, but he was very glad that he didn't do anything more out of line, so as not to not only harm himself, but also affect others.
The knife-faced soldier standing in front of him was one of the three big men in Chaoyang County who had been in the limelight in the past two months.
These three characters, the first is Major General Li Fang, who acts in a high-profile manner, is extraordinarily stingy, ridiculed, ridiculed and scolded, all based on personal likes and dislikes, and the most vigorous thing he did was to marry his wife in the tenth room in a flash marriage;
The second is the woman who suddenly visited yesterday, and her behavior is also high-profile, which is just the opposite of Li Fang's stinginess, and she will do her best to be extravagant, and she will definitely put her heart into her heart and knees like glue for what she likes; For what you don't like, it's like catkins after the rain on the ground, and you can't get rid of it if you want to. - Such a different and high-ranking woman, who looks like a fairy, is weak, and speaks with a song and a cries, which attracts people's eyes frequently, and guesses which noble person travels on the side;
And the third is the Lord Wei in front of him, different from the high-profile of the first two, this person is as gentle and elegant as a scholar, and as vigorous and resolute as a general, speaking calmly and calmly, joy and anger are invisible, a pair of eyes make people's hearts cold, inexplicably dare not underestimate, only two capable subordinates on standby, and from time to time are sent out by Wei Zhixing to perform various tasks, everything must be respectful, sometimes generous, sometimes baht must be compared, people can not see the real thoughts in their hearts.
Seeing that it was such a difficult person, the knife-faced soldier was frightened, and saw that the man was silent, and in the direction of the man's gaze, it was the old ox cart that was gradually moving away, and the man at this time was like a frozen ice streamer, with a wisp of cold air.
The little soldier defending the city was stupid, but not stupid, and soon his wisdom suddenly opened, and he hurriedly took out the silver in his arms that had not yet had time to cover the heat, and obediently handed it to the side of the man in front of the horse, and said in fear: "Lord Wei, this is 'Mrs. Wei' rewarded the villain, and the villain didn't dare to ask for it, so he returned it." ”
Wei Zhixing looked at Xiao Bing suspiciously, not understanding why Xiao Bing had the term "Mrs. Wei", which made people confused.
Xiao Bing obviously misunderstood Wei Zhixing's attention, thinking that the other party had seen through his concealment, and hurriedly took out the two taels of silver that he had been greedy for last night in his arms, and said with a shudder: "Lord Wei, the little one knows that he is wrong, this is the reward given to the villain when 'Mrs. Wei' broke into the city last night, and the other half is at Song Fatty, so the villain will go and take it back and return it." ”
Wei Zhixing waved his hand, took out a ten taels of silver from his arms, and said indifferently: "That's the 'madam' reward for you, you can keep it." This piece of silver is rewarded to you by the official, remember, if the 'lady' wants to enter or leave the city in the future, she can make an exception, and just follow her wishes. ”
The knife-faced soldier happily said his promise, and he didn't understand why he had accepted a bribe and became a hero, and he didn't understand why such a great good thing had fallen to him, and he didn't dare to do anything, as long as the silver was real and real money, not to mention secretly opening a city gate, that is, to bring tea and water, saddle before and after the horse, and even let himself call the two fathers and mothers in front of him.
When the little soldier woke up from his thoughts, the man in front of him had already turned his horse's head and walked slowly in the direction of the city.
One person and one street passed by an iron shop on the corner of the street, and in the middle of the shop, a woman with a handkerchief on her head tried to pump the bellows, and the bellows whizzed and turned, making the fire in the furnace more and more bright.
The bellows resembled the voice of an eighty-year-old woman with a broken throat, with the helplessness of life, lingering and panting.
The man on the side took out a piece of red and bright iron tire from the furnace, lifted the long man with an arm-long head, and his head was like an iron hammer as big as four fists, and the tinkling would be opened, and every time he hit, it would be full of iron flowers, Ambilight, colorful, so lively, reflecting the face of a husband and a woman, if the most beautiful and reddest flowers in the world bloom, people are happy.
Wei Zhixing's eyes were indifferent, as if it was none of his business, he hung high, and after a long time, he took out a ball of things from his arms, and sent the broken sword with light blue light in it, raised his palm, and sent it lightly, a few blue lights were instantly submerged in the molten iron, almost missing, the man put the big knife and iron tire into the furnace, and in an instant, it was plucked out, and under the illumination of the sun, it was oozing with faint blue light, and the man's face suddenly said with joy: "Lady, look, my Pure Fire Treasure Knife has finally been practiced!! ”
The woman who pulled the bellows looked at the man on horseback who was getting farther and farther away, and the depressed man was suddenly going to the house with the appearance of bamboo in his arms, and the woman couldn't help but know in her heart, but she didn't want to dissipate her husband's interest, so she nodded happily, and the strength of pulling the bellows was even stronger.
......
In the blink of an eye, Mingyue didn't want to sweep everyone's interest, so he joined in the preparation of the cheerful New Year's goods, chicken, duck, fish, meat and other ingredients are indispensable, Mingyue deliberately cultivated a small plate of leeks some time ago, according to Mingyue's thoughts, these are all continuation of the current customs, eat leek-stuffed dumplings for the New Year, one of them also put Yi sugar in it, meaning long-lasting, sweet and sweet.
It's just that the sky backfired, although Mingyue ate the dumplings wrapped with candy, Mingyue had twelve reasons to suspect that it was Liu who was unhappy when he saw that he had come back from the county, so he deliberately put the water, all just to make himself laugh.
In short, although I ate dumplings that symbolize reunion and sweetness, my mood sank to the bottom of the lake and I was not happy.
In a blink of an eye, on the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the carriage of Zhenweifang came to the door of the third room, on the one hand, to collect the chili sauce mentioned by Mingyue, and on the other hand, to give a gift to the Yin family.
The carriage looks extraordinarily luxurious, but the gifts sent are extraordinarily broken, covering eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping, everything is detailed, everything is available, attracting many villagers to come to watch, some big-mouthed women are even more mouthful of taste, or sour or harsh to spread the bad words of the bright moon, nothing more than the problem of the bright moon and the treasure of the fang, but the effect of the bad words is minimal, the family has children and nephews, still thinking about when to ask the media, to marry this cornucopia of the same woman.
Because there was a lot of silver in the family, Mingyue's gloomy mood of not seeing the sun for a long time was slightly alleviated, and he decided to leave all the disturbances of Wei Zhixing and him behind, and he had nothing to do, and personally cooked and prepared twelve dishes, which was more luxurious than the people in the village.
The meal was done, but Wei Song'er didn't come back for a long time, Song'er and the little brother of the Mandarin Duck family walked very close, and they would be left to eat from time to time, Mingyue didn't care, only left good dishes for Song'er, and when Song'er came back, if she liked to eat, she would eat a bite.
After waiting for the sun to set in the west and the sky was dark, Song'er still didn't come back, Mingyue gradually panicked from the initial disdain, her eyes kept looking out, and finally she simply walked out of the house and paced towards the mandarin duck's house, ready to welcome this little brother who later returned to the sect.
All the way to the mandarin duck's house, before Mingyue knocked on the door, the mandarin duck had pushed the courtyard door out, and when he saw Mingyue, the mandarin duck hurriedly hid a dark green jacket in his hand behind him, and said; "Mingyue, what are you doing?"
Mingyue noticed the change in Mandarin Duck's face, and asked hopefully: "Mandarin Duck, I'm not here to look for you, it's getting late, I'm here to pick up Song'er and go home to sleep." “
The mandarin duck's pupils dilated a little, and the fox said suspiciously: "Mingyue, my mother has already coaxed my brother to sleep, Song'er has already returned home at noon, and it will be almost two hours before she goes back." ”
Mingyue couldn't help frowning, and said nervously: "Mandarin duck, are you sure Song'er went back two hours ago?" ”
The mandarin duck nodded firmly, Mingyue panicked inexplicably, although this Song'er has reached the age of being naughty and mischievous, and the grass grows and the eagle flies, but due to the great changes in the Liu family in the county, she returned to her mother Liu after several twists and turns, although her mother loves her sister and is favored, but she always has a sense of superiority in her bones, so she is extraordinarily well-behaved and obedient in her daily life, and she dare not lie and deceive people, which makes Mingyue more cherished and caring.
Now, Song'er is gone, Mingyue's heart is like a hole has been dug out of the cold wind, twitching pain, twitching and twitching, tracing down the path of the mandarin duck's house and his own house, still nowhere to be seen, inquiring about the neighbors, it is still a fog.
In the end, the eighty-six households in Xiangyang Village, from the east to the west, and then from the south to the north, Mingyue walked all over again, and they were three feet away from digging the ground, but they still didn't see where Song'er was going.
A bad premonition rushed straight to Mingyue's heart, and the case of the boy's disappearance that went viral in the county unconsciously surged into his heart and mind, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, his head buzzed like tens of thousands of flies, so he was not annoyed, and the noisy sound made his head hurt.
Before dawn on the second day, Mingyue hurriedly took Uncle Niu's ox cart to the county seat, and when she arrived at the gate of Chaoyang County, there was still a period of time before the city gate opened.
Mingyue was thinking about how to find a dog hole to enter the city, and the city gate had slowly opened, as if she had been waiting for herself for a long time, and the knife-faced soldier greeted her with a sneer.
Mingyue no longer hesitated, jumped out of the carriage and hurried to the county office, but when she arrived in front of the county office, she hesitated again and went in, feeling reluctant; I didn't go in, but I was in a hurry.
When he was hesitating and couldn't make a decision, a figure suddenly flashed out at the door of the yamen, and when he looked at it, it was Li Chengyue, an old acquaintance who had not been seen for a long time, and the man ran to Mingyue like lightning and thunder, and said respectfully: "Miss Mingyue is polite." ”
Mingyue hurriedly returned the salute, and then dragged Li Chengyue to see Lord Wei.
