Chapter 475: Settling in Baicheng (1)
Although it is still very gloomy today, it has not rained, and the water on the ground has gradually receded, but the road is still muddy, not to mention that the ox cart is stuck in this quagmire, even this person will not be able to walk. Of course, if you are not afraid of a lot of dirty spots on these clean clothes and shoes, you can also give it a try.
Li Shen slept with Uncle Sun yesterday, and the three of them were more than enough to sleep on the huge kang.
Niu Niu got up early, this day due to the weather, it was still dark, the house came from the cow to sleep soundly, Niu Niu was very irritable, even with a temper is not very good.
Li Shen went out and washed up, and saw Niu Niu staying by the stove, sobbing quietly, sobbing and choking, looking extremely distressing.
Li Shen's heart tightened, and he walked to Niu Niu's side, and he didn't dare to move his hands and feet to hug her, so he had to squat down and look down at Niu Niu.
"Why did you cry? But who bullied you? ”
Niu Niu hurriedly wiped her tears and said with a wry smile: "Why are you here?" Why don't you walk without a sound? ”
Li Shen wiped Niu Niu's tears with his hands and held Niu Niu's face with both hands.
"Don't cry, I'm distressed."
Li Shen's face was also ugly, and Niu Niu really laughed at this time.
"You're kidding me again!"
Niu Niu gently slapped Li Shen, broke into laughter, wiped her tears with her hands, and added some firewood to the stove.
"You go and rest first, I'll come."
Li Shen pushed Niu Niu away and sat down.
Niu Niu became anxious, "Your hands are here to save people from hanging pots, how can you do such rough work?" You get out quickly, or I'll come. ”
Li Shen couldn't cry or laugh a little, not to mention that he was still an apprentice, and he didn't even touch the patient's hand, and he was just sitting on some prescription work.
Li Shen saw Niu Niu's resolute attitude, so he had to sit on the bench and help pick vegetables.
Li Shen was silent for a while, but still spoke.
"Niu'er, I should go back today, this city has experienced that storm, and many people have been injured, and this holiday is also what I begged and the master begged for, and I want to go back today, I'm afraid the master won't be able to cope with it."
Niu Niu's hand paused, her heart was very sad, and she didn't know what was going on.
"I know, you also have to go back quickly, and Xu Langzhong of the province is going to scold you again."
Li Shen put down the vegetables in his hand, took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his waist, and handed it to Niu Niu.
"Give! I bought it for you specifically to see if you like it or not. ”
Niu Niu happily took the handkerchief, opened it, and found that it was an emerald jade bracelet, a little flattered.
"Brother Shen, how can this be done, I look at this bracelet, I'm afraid it's a lot more expensive, you take it back quickly and return it."
Li Shen shook his head, "No, I specially bought it for you, and I will treat it as a token of our commitment......"
Li Shen's face turned red, Niu Niu lowered her eyebrows, and her hand holding the bracelet was a little at a loss.
Li Shen wiped his hands, picked up the bracelet from Niu Niu's hand, and put it on Niu Niu's hand.
"It's just the right size."
Li Shen laughed, and Niu Niu replied shyly.
This situation and this scene should be very wonderful, but it was disturbed by this Uncle Sun.
"The children of the Li family, the children of the Li family...... You're going to this city today, can you take our second elder with you? ”
As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Sun said "ouch", "Don't look at incivility, don't speak, don't listen to incivility, old decay is not intentional......"
Although Uncle Sun covered his eyes and retreated, he still cowered in the corner of the door, peeking at it, and he was unconsciously happy.
At that end, Li Shen and Niu Niu were very embarrassed for a while, the two of them held their little hands and smirked, Uncle Sun pouted, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Niu Da stood in the courtyard and rinsed his mouth with well water, looking at Uncle Sun's appearance, he felt a little inexplicable.
"Why is Uncle Sun so happy in the morning?"
Uncle Sun smoked a cigarette and congratulated Niu Da with a smile.
"But congratulations, you have a very good sister-in-law!"
Niu Da was confused at first, and then he understood, and laughed, and Aunt Sun and Niu Niu looked at the two people who were smirking in the yard, and they thought they were two fools.
After everyone finished eating, Uncle Sun went home again, and drove the chickens, ducks, and happy donkeys to the cow's house and fostered them.
Niu Da and Niu Niu's family sent the three of them to walk a long distance, Li Shen turned over a mountain, stood on the top of this mountain, and found Niu Niu standing at the foot of the mountain looking at the road of the three people.
Uncle Sun looked back for a long time, and then he continued to walk with Aunt Sun.
The trio's clothes were covered in mud, but they didn't mind.
Walking slowly, it was estimated that it was time for dinner, and the three of them came to the entrance of the city gate.
Looking at the bleak appearance in the city, Li Shen said to the second elder of the Sun family: "That is, the entrance of this city gate is okay here, the water has not overflowed, and the rest of the place has been flooded a lot." ”
The second elder of the Sun family began to worry about Qin Liusu again, "Then, has the county government ever been flooded?" ”
Li Shen frowned and sighed, "Why didn't it flood, my master went to see the county order, and it is said that the county government is also flooded with Jinshan." ”
The second elder of the Sun family was scared for a while, although Qin Liusu came back yesterday when he came back, but this county government was also flooded, I don't know where Qin Liusu lives? Is it still safe?
Seeing the anxious appearance of the second elder of the Sun family, Li Shen joked, "Uncle and aunt, this is also the county government, why is the uncle so worried?" If you want me to say, the world is as black as a crow, and you deserve to drown in this county order! ”
"How did you say that!"
Aunt Sun was a little angry, and her face became very ugly, Li Shen touched the back of her head, and she didn't know what she had done wrong.
"Don't be angry, auntie, so am I, alas! Speak without brains, don't worry about me as a villain, Auntie, you can support the boat in the prime minister's belly and don't worry about me, okay? ”
Aunt Sun was silent for a long time, but she didn't answer.
Uncle Sun smiled awkwardly, "Eldest nephew, don't blame your aunt, your aunt is also worried about my girl, if she says something wrong, don't worry about it." ”
"Girl? Where did the girl come from? Didn't the daughter of the Sun family die a long time ago? ”
Li Shen thought in his heart, and became more and more confused.
Uncle Sun is still happy, "This daughter of my family is my goddaughter!" ”
Li Shen then remembered that this Niu Niu said it yesterday, and he didn't take it seriously, and he forgot to go, in the final analysis, it was his responsibility.
Li Shen apologized for helping the second elder of the Sun family to the gate of the county government.
The more you walked inside, the deeper the water became, and the people around me rolled up their trousers and dripped water.
Uncle Sun looked at the water, turned back to Li Shen and said, "You should go back quickly, although this Xu Langzhong is a skilled doctor, but this person's temper is really not very good. ”
Li Shen is still a very responsible person, and he will send them to the county government if he says anything.
Li Shen took off his shoes, squatted down and picked up Aunt Sun, and walked directly into the water, which made Aunt Sun, who was angry just now, a little embarrassed.
sent these two people to the gate of the county ya, fortunately, the gate of the county yamen has not been flooded, and the second elder of the Sun family stood on the top of the steps and watched Li Shen walk out.
This was about to knock on the door, Uncle Sun then remembered, when Qin Liusu came back yesterday, he was wearing this men's clothes, and Qin Liusu also said that he is now a woman dressed as a man in this county office, so he is afraid that someone will recognize him.
Uncle Sun thought that those officials had also seen himself and his wife, especially this county lieutenant, who was also familiar with him, which made these two people embarrassed.
After thinking about it, the second elder of the Sun family still squatted next to the stone lion and chose a small corner that was not easy to be found by others.
"Gurgling ......"
Aunt Sun's stomach was a little hungry, quietly pushed Uncle Sun's arm, whispered that she was hungry, Uncle Sun looked at the county office, and then looked at his wife, or decided to take Aunt Sun to find something to eat.
Coincidentally, when the two of them stood up, they saw Qin Liusu coming back from outside, and saw that there was no one around, so they called Qin Liusu over with confidence and boldness.
Qin Liusu heard Uncle Sun's familiar voice, and quickly reacted, knowing that it was his own Uncle Sun who came, and he was very happy at the moment.
walked in the direction of the sound and saw Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun staying in this small corner.
"Why did Uncle and Aunt come here?"
Qin Liusu was very happy, and hurriedly helped the two old men up, Uncle Sun patted Qin Liusu's hand, "We are also worried about you, thinking that our own people are staying together, we are also a lot more relieved." ”
Qin Liusu nodded and said, "Yes, I see that it is also time to eat now, and you second elder may not have eaten either, let's go, I will take you second elder to eat first." ”
The second elder of the Sun family happily followed Qin Liusu to eat.
After looking for a long time, I found a food stall.
The shopkeeper is very enthusiastic about arranging the meals.
Uncle Sun looked at this cold and deserted, and sighed very emotionally, "The drought in the past few years was unbearable, and now, this rainstorm is also unbearable, alas! Isn't there something evil going on in this white city, God wants to torture our people like this. ”
Qin Liusu wiped his mouth and sighed, there was no way.
"Yesterday, the county order also called the lord to count the disaster-stricken places, and the county is still okay, but it has been flooded a lot, except for the tiles on the roof, the rest are okay, and there is no property damage, but the farmland around the white city, alas! The wheat was completely down. ”
Speaking of which, Uncle Sun's original appetite was suddenly gone, and Aunt Sun also put down the chopsticks in her hand.
"Today we came, but also to discuss what to do, now, the house in this house is also down, except for the three acres of land, the rest, is gone, these days, the village is panicking, all say that this Wang Lao Han is coming out again......"
Qin Liusu was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Auntie, how do you say this?" How does this have anything to do with the matter of the old man? Everyone else has been dead for so many years......"
Uncle Sun sighed, took a sip of liquor, and warmed up his body.
"Do you know something, these three years ago, Wang Laohan was subdued by the Taoist on this Qinyun Mountain, the Taoist said that this Wang Laohan is very angry, three years later, naturally he will come out to harm people, do you remember that Ni's husband died, I heard that Niu Niu girl, I also saw Wang Laohan's figure, plus this storm came, the villagers thought that Wang Laohan was going to come out again, your aunt was very timid, very scared."
Qin Liusu couldn't cry or laugh, not to mention anything else, what did this Niu Niu see was the figure of Wang Laohan, obviously it was the same as the figure he saw on the mountain behind him.
"I think I'm afraid someone is coming from afar, don't talk nonsense."
Aunt Sun pursed her lips, a little unwilling, she believed in these strange things very much, Qin Liusu was resolute without saying anything, Aunt Sun still obediently listened to the words and closed her mouth.
Uncle Sun continued, "I don't care if it's true or not, it's imperative to discuss my own affairs." ”
Uncle Sun stared at Qin Liusu intently, and Qin Liusu thought that there was something on his face.
"What's wrong, uncle?"
Uncle Sun sighed and continued, "You also know that your house has collapsed, and now, your aunt and I are also homeless......
Qin Liusu nodded.
"I didn't ask Brother Niu to transfer some silver to you, I can use this to buy a house, I naturally won't mind."
"It's not because of that,"
Aunt Sun snatched the right to speak, "It's just because we're still a little worried about you...... It is also inappropriate to live in this county...... Our two elders don't have any nostalgia for that place, our own daughter died early, and those villagers also have to bear a certain responsibility, if it weren't for those people talking nonsense, how could my daughter die early? ”
