Chapter 19 Suffering and Suffering
When Huang Tai and Lu Polou were talking, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child ran into the study, saw that there was a guest, stood at the door, and said, "Dad, my homework is done!" It was noon, and the sunlight came in from outside, just covering the child's body.
Huang Tai looked at the child with a smile on his face. Polou called the child and said, "Guang'er, come and kowtow to the Yellow Sacrifice Wine!"
The child was very obedient, came over and kowtowed to Huang Tai three times, got up and stood beside his father.
Po Lou said: "This is the dog Lu Guang, who is currently studying in Taixue, and I also ask Lord Huang to teach me more!"
Huang Tai said with a smile: "This son will be a great weapon in the future, and the future is unlimited, so Lord Lu should cultivate it well." ”
Po Lou knew that Huang Tai's words must have meant something, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. Lü Guang was later ordered by Fu Jian to open up the Western Regions, establish a state in Liangzhou, and become the emperor, which is a later story. Huang Tai and Lu Polou are very speculative, discussing major events in the world, and they are happy to disperse.
Soon after Huang Tai returned home, Wang Da and the girl came to thank him. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, crying: "Thank you Lord Huang for rescuing, the great kindness and virtue of the villain will not forget!"
Wang Da did chores in the Huang family many times, and Huang Tai felt that he was down-to-earth and loyal, and appreciated this young man very much, so he asked Wang Da and Miss Wan to get up.
The girl kowtowed and said, "Little girl Wan Yingying thanks Lord Huang for her rescue!"
Huang Tai asked Wang Da to pick them up and asked what the government had ordered when they let them back. Wang Da replied: "The government sent dozens of officers and soldiers to ambush around my house, instructed me to walk around the market in the next few days, and said that it would arrange for a few officers and soldiers to disguise themselves as residents to protect me, but for some reason. ”
Huang Tai nodded and told Wang Daodao: "They are 'luring the snake out of the hole', the thief has not obtained the property, he will not be reconciled, the ox with the camel property is lost, the easiest place to think of is the owner's house, when the wind is relaxed, the first thing they will do is to find you and snatch the property back." ”
Wang Da suddenly realized, and immediately realized the danger of his family, and couldn't help but shudder.
Huang Tai said: "You don't have to be afraid, I expect that your family will not be in danger, and you must not leak the news." Just in case, your mother and Miss Wan can stay at my house temporarily. ”
Wang Da was most worried about his mother and Yingying, and when he heard Lord Huang say this, he thanked him again and again.
Huang Tai instructed Huang An to fetch some gold and silver for Wang Da, and asked Xiuniang and Ruolan to arrange the residence of Ying Ying and the Queen Mother.
Wang told his mother about Huang Tai's arrangement, and the queen mother insisted on being with her son, but Huang Tai knew that her mother and son were in deep love, so she no longer insisted.
After leaving Ying Ying at the Huang family's house, Wang Da felt lonely and unbearable, and there were dozens of officers and soldiers hidden around the courtyard.
Nothing happened for a few days. After returning from the government, Wang Da was in a good mood. In the prison, the girl was locked up in the same prison with herself, sympathizing with each other, and the relationship was closer again. The girl told him that her name was Wan Yingying, that she was her father's only daughter, and that she usually liked to accompany her father in the business of the shop, and that she loved to read some history books in her spare time, and that her parents loved her very much. Whenever she talked about her parents, Yingying often burst into tears, and Wang was at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her.
Wang Da couldn't describe the girl's beauty, her delicate and pure reminded him of the lotus flower dripping with dew after the rain, and the red apricot in the spring morning light. With Yingying, the time or two spent in prison seemed so short. When the officer had finished his orders, opened the cell door, and told them that they could go back, he felt as if he had been awakened from a dream.
When Wang Da asked about the two bags of property, the officer told the two that the two bags of property were temporarily kept by the government, and that the thieves would be arrested and brought to justice, and if they were indeed owned by the ten families, they would be returned in their original form.
When the two returned home, the queen mother wept with joy and was much better, and told her son to drink wine and cut meat, saying that she would celebrate.
Yingying's home was ransacked and homeless, so she simply lived in Wang's house temporarily, she and Wang Da took care of the queen mother together, took care of the housework together, and the two hurt families merged together and had a rare trace of warmth. After Yingying stayed in Huangfu, Wang Da always felt that something was missing from the family.
He was both excited and scared about his feelings with Yingying. I was excited that God opened his eyes and sent such a beautiful and heartfelt woman to him; I was afraid that my family was poor and had a low status, how could I be worthy of the daughter of another family, and even if her family was robbed and decayed, how could I look down on myself. Thinking of this, Wang Daben looked depressed.
This morning, Wang Da came to the market again, wandering aimlessly, suddenly an uncomfortable feeling from the whole body, he realized that he was being targeted by a hostile person, this feeling is not clear, but it is real, he pretended to be calm and looked around with the corner of his eye, a sturdy middle-aged man squatting in front of the firewood and haystack attracted Wang Da's attention, wasn't that the person who bought his own cattle? At that time, Wang Dakai's price was very high, many people asked for the price, and walked away after being dissatisfied, but this person didn't care about the price, and pulled the cow and left after paying, Wang Da was very impressed. At this time, the man also seemed to be staring at Wang Da.
Although he knew that there were disguised officers and soldiers around to protect him, Wang Da was still weak-hearted, in order not to let people see the flaws, he bought some rouge for Yingying, and then turned around and left the market to walk home, what made him even more worried was that the middle-aged man followed, following from afar. Wang Da pretended to be unaware and deliberately walked unhurriedly.
After returning home, Wang Da told the officers and soldiers that he had made an appointment in advance to tell them that they would be followed. The whole courtyard was suddenly engulfed in an inexplicable tense atmosphere. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the thieves, Wang Da made a fire and cooked as usual at noon and at night according to the requirements of the government.
The Queen Mother curled up nervously on the bed in the inner room, and from noon to night, the meal prepared by Wang Da was heated twice, and it was difficult for the mother and son to swallow it.
At the first watch, the whole courtyard was silent, Wang Da bolted the courtyard door to death, the house door was topped with a top door bar, and the inner room door was bolted, the mother and son sat in the inner room, as if facing a great enemy, their eyes were wide open, and no one spoke; at the second watch, the sycamore rustling sounded outside the window, and there was the sound of dripping rain, the queen mother did not care about her own safety, but was worried that her son had three long and two short, and his body trembled slightly, Wang Da held a kitchen knife in his hand, and listened attentively to the sound outside the courtyard; at the third watch, the wind was strong, as if to shake the big tree and overthrow the house, the mother and son looked dumbfounded, their heads were swollen, and their hearts were beating suddenly, and they were about to jump out of their mouths。 Approaching the fourth watch, the sound of wind and rain gradually decreased, and there was no other abnormal sound in the courtyard. The tense nerves of the two began to relax, and the queen mother was old and in poor spirits, so she fell asleep first. Wang Da shook his head repeatedly, cheering up his spirits, but finally he couldn't support it, his mind gradually blurred, and he entered a half-asleep state.
