Chapter 178 & 179: The Return (6K, the third and fourth more pink tickets)
The little wolfberry who used to be in the Shengguo Mansion has lived a golden phoenix-like life since he was born.
Now he is reduced to a small stone house, unable to eat if he wants to, and unable to drink if he wants to.
Sheng Siyan felt very guilty, picked him up and put him on the bed, thought about it, baked two more pastries, added a cup of hot water, and poured them aside to cool down.
Wang is pregnant, and he can't make do with food.
Sheng Siyan left in a hurry, and only brought a food box, and the things in it could probably be eaten for two days by her and the two adults of the Wang family plus a child of the little wolfberry.
Two days later, she had to go down the mountain to buy food.
Sheng Siyan sat in front of the fire with his knees crossed, watching the blazing fire.
The little wolfberry was woken up by hunger, and just opened his mouth to cry, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was a strange place, so he immediately closed his mouth, sat up slowly, looked around, and saw the eldest sister sitting in front of the fire in the center of the room, hurriedly slipped off the bed, came behind Sheng Siyan, and said aggrievedly: "Eldest sister ......" After calling it, she deflated her mouth.
Sheng Siyan turned around, and saw that it was Xiao Goji standing behind her with an aggrieved face, with a look of wanting to cry or not, she was very pityful, and hurriedly got up and said, "Are you hungry?" There is food here, and there is water. - Come on. β
Sheng Siyan simply picked up the little wolfberry and came to the small table.
As soon as the little wolfberry saw the familiar pastry, he immediately cheered and tried his best to earn it.
Sheng Siyan hugged him and sat down, watching him eat and drink happily.
After the little wolfberry finished eating the pastry, Sheng Siyan wiped his teeth with green salt again, then washed his head, face and feet with hot water, wiped his body casually, changed his clothes, and then carried him to sleep on the other side of the bed.
A wolfskin mattress was laid there, and Sheng Siyan used the burden of clothes to make a pillow and put it on the little wolfberry pillow. There is also a thin blanket, which is similar to Wang's, but the color is different.
The little wolfberry was full of food and drink, and the sleepiness came up again, hugged Sheng Siyan's neck and kissed it, and then sank into sleep.
Sheng Siyan wanted to wake up Wang to eat something, but Wang slept very deeply, Sheng Siyan gently pushed twice, but did not wake up, and just baked a small plate of palm-sized scallion oil patty and put it on the small stool next to Wang's bed.
It was already dark outside.
Although it was only the end of September, the night in the mountains was very cold.
Sheng Siyan walked out of the small stone house, stood at the door and silently looked at the dark scenery around him, soaked in the cool breeze.
Whew!
A wolf howl came one after another.
The night in the mountains is not peaceful.
Sheng Siyan sighed, sprinkled the medicine to avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants in front of and behind the house, and then turned around and closed the door, extinguishing the fire in the center of the house, and burying the embers in the ashes.
With the embers of this fire, the night in the mountains was cold, but the house was warm enough.
However, if they stay here until winter, they will not have enough bedding, clothing, and food.
Sheng Siyan didn't take off his clothes, lay on the side of Wang's bed, and fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up the next day, she saw that she was covered with a thin blanket, and Wang was gone.
She jumped up in shock, but saw that the little wolfberry was still sleeping soundly on the opposite bed, so she was a little relieved.
The door of the small stone house creaked open, and Wang pushed the door in, and smiled at Sheng Siyan: "Awake?" I just boiled some porridge, and it's in the pot over there, you can go and eat it. β
Sheng Siyan hurriedly said: "Mother, you are pregnant." I'll do that. β
Wang smiled and shook his head, "It's okay." If you move more, you will be better at life. Besides, I'm just doing what I can do, and I won't do anything else I can't do. You can rest assured. β
Sheng Siyan nodded, and said, "Mother, I want to go down the mountain and go back to the city to inquire." β
She knew that the time agreed between the Marquis of Changyuan and Sheng Ningsong was to start last night.
But they ran away early yesterday morning, and they don't know what happened in the capital.
Wang sighed, "You have to be careful. He looked at Sheng Siyan, "Come, I'll dress you up." β
Sheng Siyan came out of them, and the medicine box was of course a must.
Sheng Siyan sat down.
Wang first put her in a bun, then smeared her face with medicinal powder, and then smeared yellow medicinal powder on her hands, dressing her up like a common village girl in the countryside.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road. From that side of the road down is Wangjia Village, you are the way you are, even if you walk past Wangjia Village, they will not recognize you. β
Sheng Siyan nodded with a smile, took a few taels of silver and went down the mountain.
She did not walk from Wangjia Village, but went around in a circle, passing through the next village and going to the capital.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the capital, she felt that the atmosphere was not good.
In the past, the defenders at the gate of the capital were just decorations, except for opening and closing the city gate every day, and did not check the identity of pedestrians.
This time, there are three portraits hanging at the gate of the city, it is herself, Wang and Little Goji Berry!
Sheng Siyan was furious.
They're not wanted?! What to do to draw shadow graphics!
It seems that Wang's worries are right.
The ultimate goal of Marquis Changyuan is not to kill them quietly, but to arrest their family in prison!
Sheng Siyan took a deep breath and followed a few villagers carrying flat burdens into the city.
Her coarse yellow skin now, coupled with her native dress, was too similar to these villagers, and she was petite and unobtrusive, so she easily passed the pass and entered the city.
Seeing that the Marquis Mansion of Changyuan had already drawn a shadow at the gate of the city to arrest their family of three, Sheng Siyan did not plan to go to the Mansion of Shengguo to throw himself into the net.
She went straight to the market of ordinary people in Nancheng, and bought several large cotton jackets, two quilts, and four pillows with broken silver, and wrapped two bulging bags, one in front and one in the back, all of which were going to submerge her whole person.
This look, of course, is eye-catching.
Sheng Siyan looked dumbfounded, and when he didn't see everyone's surprised eyes, he followed the crowd to the city gate.
This time, there was a guard at the gate of the city, somehow, but still looked at her carefully for a while.
Sheng Siyan half-hung his head, with a panicked face, only promised, and couldn't even speak clearly, looking like a village girl was frightened when she entered the city.
The man looked again, and was about to speak, when there was a sudden commotion on the other side.
ββ¦β¦ Catch the thief! Someone over there robbed the silver! β
The crowd burst into an uproar.
The defender hurriedly walked over, "What's it called!" β
Sheng Siyan took the opportunity to follow the crowd out.
Several men behind her looked at each other and dispersed in the crowd, escorting Sheng Siyan all the way back to the foot of the medicine mountain.
Her trip went well.
When she returned to the mountain, she put down her things and told Wang about the things in the capital, saying that she and Wang, and Little Goji had become wanted criminals.
Wang sneered, "I knew they had this idea. β
The little wolfberry was obediently playing with the little hedgehog Ah Cai on the side, and when he saw Sheng Siyan coming back, he pounced on him and said, "Big sister, I'm hungry!" β
Wang was angry and funny, and glanced at the little wolfberry, "You, you know how to eat." You've just had breakfast and you're hungry again? β
The little wolfberry pulled Sheng Siyan's placket and twisted it like candy.
Sheng Siyan finally made a trip to the city, and of course he didn't forget to bring some delicious sweets and pastries to the little wolfberry.
She took it out of the cuff, and although it was already a little broken, it was still fresh and delicious when it was placed on a plate.
The little wolfberry was happily eaten, and it was also given to Sheng Siyan and Wang.
Sheng Siyan and Wang were very sad, and said in unison: "Little wolfberries eat, we don't eat them." β
Little Goji nodded, "Then I'll eat them all." As he spoke, he put it in his mouth and took a sip, eating with his eyes wide and squinting, very happy and satisfied.
Sheng Siyan discussed with the Wang family how to live on the mountain.
Wang said: "You can carry another bag of rice from the bottom of the mountain." We can all find other food in the mountains. β
Sheng Siyan listened to Wang's words, and went down the mountain again the next day, this time, she did not go into the city, but went to the market in the nearby countryside, bought a bag of rice, carried it in a basket, and took a lot of effort to carry it up the mountain.
At night, when the little wolfberry fell asleep, Sheng Siyan took off his clothes and took a bath.
Wang Shi saw that there were two bruises on her delicate and white shoulders, which were strangled by carrying rice up the mountain during the day, and he was very distressed, and said softly: "It's hard, Siyan." β
Sheng Siyan hurriedly wiped off the water marks on his body, put on clean clothes, and turned around with a smile, "Mother is too foreign, I'm going to be angry if I say that again." β
That smile made this small stone house glow, as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.
Wang sighed softly, slowly lay down, closed his eyes and said, "Go to bed early." Tomorrow morning I'll teach you how to set up traps and identify something to eat. β
Sheng Siyan smiled: "Mother doesn't need to teach me, these things, Second Brother Wang has taught me earlier!" β
Speaking of Wang Yixing, Wang opened his eyes and said, "If he is still willing to marry you, I will marry you to him." β
In this way, if the Sheng family is really not good, Sheng Siyan will still have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Sheng Siyan was suffocated, bowed his head and said, "Mother, you don't believe me?" Don't believe I can help my dad get out of trouble? β
"It's not that I don't believe you. Mother is just used to preparing for the worst in advance. Wang was busy comforting Sheng Siyan, "Sleep." β
Sheng Siyan responded, blew out the lights, and got into the quilt of the little wolfberry.
The two-year-old little wolfberry is warm and soft, and Sheng Siyan especially likes to sleep with him.
β¦β¦
The family of three stayed on this medicine mountain.
Sheng Siyan went to the trap to check on the beast she caught. Her luck was particularly good, and every day she caught several gray hares and colorful pheasants, carried them to the stream, slaughtered them, washed them, skinned them, and roasted them.
Then I ran around the mountains with small wolfberries, picked all kinds of delicious mushrooms and pine mushrooms, and sometimes I could pick lion's mane mushrooms, and stewed them with pheasant, just add a little salt, and I can make people swallow even their tongues.
Wang's favorite drink is the stewed pheasant soup with lion's mane mushrooms.
Sheng Siyan deliberately climbed trees everywhere to find lion's mane mushrooms.
She grew up in Wangjia Village until she was ten years old, and then followed the Wang family and Sheng Qiye into Beijing to restore the Jue.
Even with the little wolfberry, I have been eating wild game with them, and I have been running around in the mountains with my eldest sister all day long, and she has grown much taller and sturdy than in the city.
Sometimes Sheng Siyan also went down the mountain to buy some salt and pastries and came back, and also took the opportunity to inquire about the news.
She knew a lot of news.
For example, in this month, the Great Xia royal family held a grand state funeral for Emperor Xia Ming, and the senior officials above the fourth rank in various places came back, and the second prince also came back with his family to give his father a funeral.
The crown prince ascended the throne, the year name Qi, called Emperor Xia Qi.
The former queen mother is now the queen mother.
The former Empress Dowager, now the Empress Dowager, seems to have reconciled with Emperor Xia Qi, and it is said that she also participated in Emperor Xia Qi's enthronement ceremony.
The former grandson has now been crowned the crown prince. Wen Yijia, the second girl of the Changyuan Marquis family, is now the crown princess.
The former second prince has been named King Zhao by the new emperor Xia Qi, and his princess has just given birth to a son to him, and he has not yet asked for the title of prince.
Emperor Xia Qi ordered King Zhao to live in the capital and no longer have to live in the south of the Yangtze River.
There is also the Marquis of Changyuan's Mansion, who doesn't seem to have given up and continued to look for their family of three.
There is more news about the Shengguo Mansion, and I heard that the Duchess of Shengguo escaped from the capital with her sister-in-law and adopted daughter-in-law and died in the world.
And Sheng Ningsong, the eldest son of the Shengguo Mansion, reported to the government the news that his mother, eldest sister, and younger brother had absconded because of "righteous annihilation", and received a large reward. Today's Shengguo Mansion is already his world.
When Sheng Siyan heard the news, he went back and told it to the Wang family as a joke.
The Wang family also listened to it as a joke, but both of them were worried about Sheng Ningbai.
Because of these rumors about the Shengguo Mansion, there is no figure of this second son, Sheng Ningbai......
After a month, Sheng Siyan occasionally went down the mountain and found that the villagers of Wangjia Village had begun to be urged to search for people on the medicine mountain.
She didn't know how the Marquis of Changyuan Mansion thought of Yaoshan, so she hurriedly ran back to discuss with the Wang family.
"Mother, someone is going up the mountain to find us. What are we going to do? β
Wang thought for a moment, "This place is extremely remote, and there are not many people who can find it. Let's be careful these days, we won't come out during the day, close the door in the small stone house, and then put down those vines and block the doorway. β
That's excellent camouflage.
Unless you have to be the most powerful hunter, you can tell that there is a stone house here.
Sheng Siyan was a little uneasy, but he still listened to Wang's words.
Sure enough, the more capable hunters and snake catchers in Wangjia Village came to their homes several times to look around and found this small stone house, but they did not betray the Sheng family.
The people of Wangjia Village now also know that Sheng Guogong's family lived in Wangjia Village, that is, Aunt Wang and Miss Sheng.
The people of Wangjia Village have a very good impression of Wang, and remember that she has cured many people's diseases in Wangjia Village.
Although the villagers behave fiercely, their sense of right and wrong is also simple. Even if you are good to me, I will be good to you.
The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated with a gushing spring.
Although the Marquis of Changyuan's Mansion has put up a high bounty, none of the powerful people in Wangjia Village who can search for small stone houses covet the silver that needs to be exchanged for human lives.
They often looked at the door of the small stone house where Sheng Siyan and the others were hiding, and muttered, "There are still a few groups of people, don't come out these days to ......" and something like that.
Then quietly put down some freshly beaten game, chopped firewood, and millet buds in a bag, and helped Wang, Sheng Siyan and Xiao Goji Berry and their mother and son.
But those capable people specially invited by the Marquis of Changyuan to search the mountains were always bitten to death by "fierce beasts" for no reason and died in the mountains.
After a while, the Marquis of Changyuan also felt that the three members of the Sheng family would not be in this mountain.
Because one of them is a delicate lady, one is a pregnant woman, and the other is a two-year-old child.
In this place where even veterans of mountain patrols can't survive, these three powerless people will definitely not survive.
So they're not going to hide here.
Hidden in the city, maybe still hidden in the capital.
After searching for half a month, the Marquis of Changyuan removed its personnel and went to search elsewhere.
Sheng Siyan and the Wang family stayed in this mountain, waiting for the day when General Zhou Xiao returned.
They waited for more than two months.
One day in early November, it suddenly snowed heavily on the mountain.
The goose-featherlike snow covered the medicine mountain so tightly that even the most powerful hunters in Wangjia Village did not dare to go up the mountain again.
Sheng Siyan and the others were not well prepared, so they suddenly cut off the cooking and had nothing to eat.
After two days of starvation, by the evening of the third day, the three of them sat around the fire, and could only boil some water to drink.
Sheng Siyan saw that the little wolfberry was so hungry that she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, gritted her teeth, put on all the winter clothes, and said to Wang: "Mother, you can sleep with the little wolfberry for a while." I'll come when I go. β
Wang Shi hurriedly said: "You don't have to go out, just bear with it for another day, it's still snowing outside." β
Sheng Siyan smiled: "It's okay." I was in the trap a few days ago, and I've been thinking about it. It's not far, it's nearby, I'm going to catch it, and I'll be able to live a little longer. β
The Wang family wanted to persuade again, but Sheng Siyan had already pushed the door open and plunged into the heavy snow.
Wang chased to the door and saw that the snow outside was overwhelming, and the snow had been piled up at the door almost a foot deep.
And Sheng Siyan is moving forward in the wind and snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Her back was small and weak, and she was soon lost in the howling cold wind and large snowflakes.
The corners of Wang's eyes moistened, she wiped her eyes, and gently closed the door to block the cold wind outside.
Little Goji asked softly, "Mother, is the eldest sister looking for food?" β
Wang nodded, "Yes." He walked over and sat beside the little wolfberry, took him in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Come, sleep with my mother for a while, and you won't be hungry when you fall asleep." β
The little wolfberry responded sensibly, leaned on Wang's lap and fell asleep.
Sheng Siyan remembered the direction in which he had buried the trap before, and when he came out of the small stone house, he turned to the right and walked over with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
When she got to the place where the trap was buried, she found that the snow there was deeper than the door of the small stone house, and she had to pry the snow open to find out if there were any beasts caught in the trap.
Sheng Siyan looked around and saw a pine branch that had been bent down by the heavy snow, so he walked over, climbed a pine branch, pulled it down hard, and then used the pine branch to dig a snowdrift over there.
She dug up a meal and finally saw some hope.
Under the snowdrift, sure enough, there were three fat gray hares caught by her trap, and two large pheasants, which also fell not far from the trap.
Sheng Siyan was suddenly a little stunned.
She remembered that she only used one trap at a time, but each time she caught hares and pheasants, there were a lot of them......
She straightened up, looked around, and suddenly realized that it was broken!
The snow was still pouring down and covered all her footprints!
As far as the eye can see, there is snow everywhere, and it looks exactly the same.
Which side is the direction she is going back?
Sheng Siyan's whole body couldn't help shaking.
Lost on a snowy night. - Could her luck have been any worse?!
After thinking for a while, Sheng Siyan shrugged his shoulders. There is no endless road. When it gets darker and the moon and stars come out, she will be able to make out her direction.
Sheng Siyan bent down, lifted up the three fat hares and the two big pheasants, tied them with the thick hemp rope they brought, hung them around his waist, and then found a sheltered place, squatted down and hugged his knees and waited for it to get dark.
She didn't know that at the moment when the sky was getting darker, a man in Xuanyi rode a horse, jumped from the official road that had just been swept away, and stopped abruptly at the gate of the capital.
The man was dressed in brocade and mink, and wore a dark brown mink fur hat on his head, the brim of the hat was pressed very low, just revealing a pair of sword eyebrows as neat as a knife and an axe, and a pair of slender eyes under the sword eyebrows were full of anger, and there was blood floating under the eyes from time to time.
At a glance, he saw the three wanted notices for the Sheng family posted at the door. - It was Zhou Huaixuan, who went to help Sheng Qiye get medicinal materials, came back.
Syllable!
The horsewhip in Zhou Huaixuan's hand waved and slammed towards the city gate!
With a single whip, the three notices were rolled down, torn to pieces, and rolled together like butterflies with the snow, and disappeared without a trace.
The sergeant guarding the gate had already reached the time to close the city gate, and when he saw that someone suddenly came and whipped away the notice posted at the city gate, he was very angry, and came over and scolded: "Hey! What does a bunny do?! Is there a clue? You tore up the notice, and I told you, Marquis Changyuan......"
Before he finished his sentence, Zhou Huaixuan whipped over again, whipping the defender so much that he covered his face and rolled on the ground and cried, and the snow on the ground was soon stained with red blood.
"The eldest son! Big Prince! Several men in gray chased after him, grabbed his horse, and hurried to stop him.
Zhou Huaixuan turned back from his horse, looked at these people coldly, and pointed at the defenders at the city gate with a horsewhip, "Who did it?" He asked who had posted the three wanted notices for the Sheng family.
Those few people understood what Zhou Huaixuan meant, and hurriedly said: "Eldest son, don't worry, it's like this......" As he spoke, he told the Sheng family what had happened in the past two months.
After listening to these people's words, Zhou Huaixuan's expression became colder and colder, and a cold air hit the whole world, even a hundred times colder than this cold and snowy day.
In the heavy snow, there was even ice around him.
The gray-clothed men found that their eyelashes were about to freeze, and they involuntarily stepped back and stayed away from Zhou Huaixuan......
Zhou Huaixuan glanced back at the defenders at the city gate.
Sheng Qiye killed the king?!
The Sheng family absconded in fear of crime?!
What a joke!
Zhou Huaixuan reined in his horse and pointed at another defender who was poking his head out of the city gate with a horsewhip, "Re-post a notice: Whoever kills one of the Sheng family, I will destroy him." The tone was very flat, not like a threat, but a statement of the obvious.
