Chapter 2: Orphans in Troubled Times (2)

When Mrs. Xu woke up, she opened her eyes and saw that she was lying in a dilapidated room.

The newborn baby was snuggling up next to him, sleeping soundly. On the side, only the shadow of Wang Po was left to do everything for herself, and she only disappeared from the Yahuan Xiuju and Vice General Li and other personnel who served in the past.

When Wang Po saw Mrs. Xu wake up, she turned around and saw tears welling up everywhere she looked. And it was mixed with bursts of sobbing sounds, which were all hurtful.

Mrs. Xu was startled and struggled to sit up. But after struggling for a while, he still didn't sit up, so he had to lean on the broken seat against the wall and ask slowly.

"Wang Po, what about General Li and Xiuju? It's all gone there. What kind of place is this, what's wrong with me? ”

Wang Po came over and helped Mrs. Xu to sit down, tidied up Mrs. Xu's hair and clothes, and served a hot tea. He slowly sat down in front of Mrs. Xu and sobbed.

"Madam, since you fainted on the hillside, General Li has led us all the way south. Unexpectedly, a group of enemy soldiers appeared on the middle of the road, and although we broke out by force, we also damaged many soldiers, and General Li also had a lot of wounds on his body. In order to prevent another pursuer intercepting and killing, General Li assigned some of the remaining men and horses to delay and break off; I took a few personal soldiers to protect us all the way south. ”

"Oh, and what about later? What kind of adventure did Xiuju and General Li have? ”

Mrs. Xu seemed to be unsatisfied, and her eyes looked at the princess who was still crying.

Wang Po wiped away her tears again before continuing.

"After General Li protected us all the way south, we arrived at Shizui on the border at dawn. Who would have thought that when I could slow down with peace of mind, I encountered a group of robbers again, and I just beat and killed our people and horses. Fortunately, there is also General Li who resists the enemy alone, Xiuju is willing to use as bait to lure the gangsters to the mountain stream, and our master and servant have escaped this life-and-death catastrophe under the protection of General Li. ”

"Tianming found this place on the outskirts of Yangcheng, but General Li saw that other inns had not been open for a long time, and the dry manuscript grass was desolate, so he hurriedly put our master and servant in this blue and white embroidery building that was open day and night. The shopkeeper of the blue and white embroidery building, Liu Bustard's mother, was afraid of causing trouble, so she had to entrust our master and servant in the nearby dilapidated house. General Li was helpless for a while, in order to avoid your worries, Mrs. Xu, seeing that our master and servant had a temporary resting place, he immediately beat his horse back to the camp to save the prince. ”

After listening to Mrs. Wang's narration, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but scream again, choked a few times and fainted.

was so anxious that the princess screamed in the wing room for a while, and she panicked.

Fortunately, Wang Po cried this time, and actually made a noise to Liu Zhi'er, the old bustard mother of the blue and white embroidery building.

Liu Zhi'er stepped in the door, and saw Mrs. Xu's face on the bed at a glance, and she was angry like a gossamer.

She hurriedly grabbed the past, picked up Mrs. Xu is pinching people, pinched her hands, and pressed a series of actions on the acupuncture points, and Mrs. Xu's breath calmed down a lot.

Mrs. Xu calmed down and sat up again, as if she wanted to say something. But after struggling several times and still not getting up, Liu Zhi'er frowned when she saw this and said.

"Mrs. Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it. Although I, Liu Zhi'er, am not a hero, I also understand the truth of the country's collapse and destruction. Besides, you are the wife of the Heyang Palace, how can I be out of the way. As long as I can do what Liu Zhi'er can do, I will do my best for my wife and live up to my wife's trust. ”

A rare smile suddenly appeared on Mrs. Xu's face, and she turned her head and squinted at the little baby next to her and said slowly.

"Shopkeeper Liu, the Heyang Mansion is in such a bleak situation today, all of which are for the sake of the country. I knew that I was tired and tired, and I couldn't withstand such an embarrassment, running and dismantling the mill like running for my life, and my life would be rested. Besides, since my husband sacrificed his life for the country, how can I live alone in the world and live alone. The only thing that reassures me is that this newborn baby ----- the roots of Heyang Palace, so it is troublesome for Shopkeeper Liu to take care of it. In the future, if you can open the sky and disperse, and see the clouds and see the day, you will be able to regain the light of Heyang Palace, and you will be a great achievement; If you can't achieve fame, let this kid live in the world is also your bodhisattva's heart. Please shopkeeper Liu for the sake of her husband's sacrifice in this country, and you can agree to the begging of me, a dying man, and the little woman is very grateful. ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu spoke, the princess on the side was shocked and suddenly knelt in front of Mrs. Xu with tears like rain and cried.

"Madame, don't you think so, the little boy is waiting for you to support? How about you go and call the old woman? I complained about my life and went with my wife, so that I had a companion on the Huangquan Road. ”

Granny Wang's trouble, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief again, calmed down her intermittent tone before saying.

"Wang Po... You have a life of hardship ... With such a fierce lord as the prince... It's all the fault of the Heyang Palace... It should have been sent away long ago ... I didn't release you... The little girl is here to say sorry to you for the prince. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard Mrs. Xu say this, she was so anxious that she knelt on the ground and smashed her waist, sobbing with tears streaming down her face.

After half a sound, he choked up and said: "Madam, it's not about you and the prince, it's the prince and his wife who treat the old woman well, and the old woman is reluctant to leave." Up to now, it is not understandable that a minister will die with the Lord. Besides, the old woman has lived for most of her life, so don't lose it, madam, don't worry about the old woman. Let's beg Shopkeeper Liu to take over the roots of Heyang Palace. ”

After Wang Po said that, she turned around and knelt in front of Liu Zhi'er and knelt down like a green onion. It seems that if you Liu Zhi'er don't agree to this invitation to help Guzhi, her princess will kneel to death.

Liu Zhi'er looked at the two helpless women in front of her with sad eyes, feeling an unprecedented dilemma and hesitating.

She wanted to refuse, but the dignified Mrs. of Heyang Wangfu asked her to ask for a lonely invitation, so she couldn't bear it; Accept it, if there is something wrong with this little baby in the future, won't he hurt the roots of Heyang Wangfu and live up to Mrs. Xu's kindness.

Hey, this matter is really a dilemma, and it is heart-wrenching.

Mrs. Xu seemed to see through the deep worries in Liu Zhi'er's heart, and slowly spit out words intermittently.

The little woman begged Shopkeeper Liu again to accept the little baby's reluctant request, how could she repay the great grace of the Heyang Palace. Even if the little girl dies, she has to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva to burn high incense for the shopkeeper Liu, pray for blessings, and Chen said that the great grace of saving the orphan. ”

"Mrs. Xu, don't say anything. I, Liu Zhi'er, will take this little baby today, and I swear in front of my wife: I will raise this little baby to grow up, and the future creation will depend on him. ”

The corners of Mrs. Xu's mouth suddenly slid a bright arc, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Xu motioned to Mrs. Wang to hand over the things used in the palace brought out of the camp to Liu Zhi'er, and then said word by word with difficulty.

"Poor... Forget it, Lord Wang... Not yet....I didn't give this little baby a name... What about the name...... Then I'll just help him make one...... Shopkeeper Liu, you remember...... The name of this little baby is Li, Autumn, born....born in, late autumn....in, in troubled times..... just picture a....peace and security. ”

Liu Zhi'er tearfully wrote down Mrs. Xu's name for the little baby, and was about to say a few words to comfort Mrs. Xu.

I saw Mrs. Xu's hand slip slightly, a few strings of crystal tears appeared in her eyes, her dull face slowly became pale, and even her breathing became sluggish.

When Liu Zhi'er saw Mrs. Xu's posture, she was already at a critical juncture when the oil ran out.

I had to say urgently: "Mrs. Xu, you must hold on, don't let go and leave." The Heyang Mansion needs you, the little boy needs you, and everyone needs you. \ had to mutter, "Madam, don't talk about it." Your kind wife and son have all in mind, so let's take care of your body, the little boy can't leave you. ”

"Wang Po... I have to say ... I'm afraid of not saying it again。。。。。。 There is no chance。。。。。。。 ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu said these two sentences, a series of coughs made her pale and stiff.

Suddenly, a mouthful of blood finally erupted in the air, smearing and falling like petals in the sky of blood rain. The square inch sky in front of the bed is very charming.

Then, Mrs. Xu grunted, her eyes widened, her mouth opened, her legs kicked slightly, and a pair of slender hands hung down leisurely, and the whole person lay stiffly on the bed, no longer hearing the sound of breathing, and her eyes were so wide that they were frightening.

Wang Po immediately screamed, looked at Mrs. Xu's corpse and turned around and bowed to Liu Zhi'er three times, and then cried Mrs. Xu's name in despair, and crashed into the big tree outside the wing.

Liu Zhi'er's eyes were dark, and she was about to fall, but the little baby she was holding tightly in her hand screamed 'wow' and 'wow'.

Suddenly, a new ray of life rose from the ruined house.
