Chapter 25: Two Brothers
Looking at the expectant gaze of the male victim in front of him, although Yang Guang didn't believe in such a thing as an afterlife, he still replied in a sincere tone: "Yes, there will be a good life!" ”
When the male victim heard the answer he wanted most, a wistful look appeared in his eyes, his sunken cheeks became serene, his body slowly slid to the ground, and he whispered softly: "Xiao Nan, Ah Xiu, I'm here, we won't .....be separated anymore."
Yang Guang looked at the corpses lying around him, and suddenly understood why the more he killed, the more these victims rushed over one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
For Yang Guang, who was born in a peaceful era, life is the most precious, but for these victims in front of him, desperate life is a pain, and death is a relief for them.
The two boys who escaped death took off the rope that strangled them, hugged each other and staggered over, knelt in front of Yang Guang and kowtowed: "Thank you so much!" Thank you so much! ”
Yang Guang put away the Gurkha knife, stretched out his hand to help the two boys up, and ordered: "Wipe the blood from your forehead." It's not a good place to stay for long, let's leave first! ”
The three of them continued to walk into the mountain, and although the two boys were exhausted from hunger and staggered when they walked, they seemed to be about to fall down at any moment, but they still gritted their teeth and insisted on following Yang Guang without saying a word.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Yang Guang saw that no one appeared behind him, so he called for a halt to rest.
The slender boy could no longer support it, and he never got up again after falling to the ground, and the slightly taller boy was startled, holding his companion and shouting: "Brother! Brother! Wake up! Wake up! ”
Yang Guang walked over to check and found that he was mainly hungry, so he walked to the side and took a few pieces of bread and a can of water back, handed it to the slightly taller boy and said, "Feed him some water first, and then eat something!" ”
With food to eat, the thin boy finally eased up, and the two of them gulped the bread and water together, and then looked at Yang Guang with a blank eye.
Yang Guang knew that they were not full, but at this time they had to control their diet, shook his head and said, "You have been hungry for a long time, don't eat too much at a time." With a change of tone, Yang Guang asked, "By the way, are you also from Shandong?" ”
The thin boy said: "If you return to Engong, our brothers are all from Linqing, Shandong. There was a big drought in Shandong this year, and I really couldn't find anything to eat, so I had to follow my father to escape the famine......"
Yang Guang slowly listened to the thin boy tell about himself, and the three of them, father and son, struggled all the way to the outside of Yangzhou City, and the little thing sent by the government porridge factory could only hang their lives to prevent them from starving to death, and as the victims gathered more and more, it was difficult to grab such a spoonful of hot porridge.
Yesterday the father of the two brothers went to the mountains to pick weeds and peel the bark of trees, but never returned, and today the two brothers wanted to go into the mountains to find their father under the leadership of their fellow villagers, but unexpectedly they almost became the food of their fellow villagers.
Hearing this, Yang Guang sighed, he knew that most of the fathers of the two brothers were no longer alive, this kind of thing was too tragic to think about, and he didn't want to continue the topic. After saying this, I believe that the two brothers have somewhat eased up, so they stood up and said, "Let's go, we have to hurry!" ”
Who knew that the two brothers did not stand up, but knelt down in front of Yang Guang together as if they had the same heart, and kept kowtowing and saying, "Please take it in!" Ask for mercy to take it in! We are willing to be servants and slaves, no matter how hard and tired we are! Let's not be food! ”
"Get up, don't keep kneeling around, you'll lose all your backbone!" Yang Guang frowned slightly, he was really not used to others kneeling down and kowtowing at every turn, but in this era, this kind of thing is really commonplace, which makes Yang Guang tired of it.
Seeing that the two brothers didn't listen to their own words and still kept kowtowing, Yang Guang accentuated his tone and said: "My family's rules, kowtow is not allowed!" ”
The two brothers didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, and kowtowed several times before they suddenly woke up. The slightly taller boy was overjoyed and wanted to stand up, but was pulled by the thin one, and then the thin boy said, "Please give me a name!" ”
"That's right! Right! The slightly taller boy immediately understood what his brother meant, knelt on the ground and echoed in a loud voice: "Please give the name of the master!" ”
Yang Guang stood there with his hands behind his back and bowed his head silently, in the eyes of the two brothers, he was thinking about the name, but in fact, Yang Guang was recalling what happened before, and passed every detail that could be remembered in his heart, and finally he could be sure that the two brothers could not arrange the acting in advance to deceive themselves, and he did save the two brothers from danger.
At this time, Yang Guang really decided to take in the two brothers in front of him, he felt that as long as the two brothers were not people with a thin nature, and he had a life-saving grace for them, and then treated the two as brothers, these two brothers should also be able to become assistants that he could trust.
As for Yang Guang's name, when he first engaged in plane trade, he used his real name, but after the incident of the man in black last night, this name could only disappear temporarily, and he had to change his name.
According to the practice of this era, if he didn't let the two brothers take his surname, it would be a sign of distrust of them, and the most basic thing to follow the customs of the countryside Yang Guang still had to abide by it, so he had to name the two of them again.
After thinking for a while, Yang Guang decided to use his mother's surname, so he said: "My surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Yu." In the future, your two brothers will be called Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu. The elder brother's name is Zhao Wen, and the younger brother's name is Zhao Wu. ”
"Thank you for the name!" The two brothers solemnly kowtowed a few times again, and then stood up in a proper manner and stood in front of Yang Guang with their hands tied.
"Let's go, talk slowly on the way." Yang Guang greeted and continued on the road with the two newly acquired servants. The three of them walked until late afternoon before they came to the destination of the trip, Daming Temple.
At this time, the Daming Temple has long been dilapidated, not at all the places of interest in Yangzhou City, according to the history of modern time and space, until the Wanli period, the Yangzhou prefect came forward to rebuild it, it can be regarded as shining again.
This is the safe house that Yang Guang envisioned. Daming Temple is very famous and there are very few tourists, now there are disaster victims outside Yangzhou City, there should not be any people who come here to explore the strange and secluded, it is a relatively closed environment, which is conducive to Yang Guang hiding and resting.
And Daming Temple is deep in the mountains, and those hungry victims should not be able to find this place in a short time, and they can ignore their troubles. The most important point is that the monks of Daming Temple are not like rebuilding temples all the time, and Yang Guang can definitely be treated as a distinguished guest as long as he spends some silver.
