Chapter 233: A Chance Encounter in the Wilderness
Chapter 233
Song Nan was mentally exhausted, and today was originally a day of raising his eyebrows, but he ended up in a depressed mood. It's not because of the torn face with Liu Jin, in fact, he and Liu Jin have long been drifting apart, and the broken face is only in the evening, and the depressed thing is that he actually fell behind in the fight with Liu Jin, and accidentally let Liu Jin give himself a dismount.
However, Song Nan also secretly rejoiced that Liu Jin was too arrogant, but he exposed the traitor he had planted in his Beizhen Fusi, which reminded himself of the warning of the pure team, it is impossible for an ordinary school captain, and the position of the traitor is at least a hundred households, otherwise how could he easily enter the Beizhen Fusi Prison and kill Xu Liang and Qian Kang?
Song Nan had no intention of dealing with official business, so he simply explained some things, and then changed into civilian clothes and went out to breathe.
Walking on the streets of the capital, there is still Yu Qing in the capital after the festival, the red lantern Spring Festival couplets at the door of every household have not yet faded, looking at the busy figure of the small people in the market, Song Nan is in a slightly better mood, and at a certain moment, he suddenly envied the lives of these ordinary people.
The purpose of their life is very simple, as long as they feed their families, they have nothing else to eat, and this is the life of all living beings; But Song Nan soon realized that it was decadent for him to think so, the humble being like an ant is by no means a capital to show off, the eldest husband should control his own destiny and live a wonderful life, instead of not knowing the fate of tomorrow today, and only being busy with three meals all day long, wouldn't it be a waste of this precious life.
The letter walked to the left of a green building, the sound of silk and bamboo in the green building came, and there was a faint sound of the hole flute in the ears, Song Nan suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Wan Zhi and Wang Yong, who were following in plain clothes: "I want you to inquire about the burial place of Dai Mill, can you find out?" Have you heard about the whereabouts of the scattered servants in Dai Mill's house? ”
Wang Yong patted his head and said: "If it weren't for the reminder of the adults, I would have almost forgotten that Dai Miao's bones were taken away and buried on the barren mountain outside the Dongcheng school. ”
Song Nan said: "Oh? Taken away? Whose body was that? ”
Wang Yong said: "It's a little maid and a mother-in-law, presumably a servant of the Dai family, because of the busy affairs these days, I wanted to investigate, but I haven't been available." ”
Song Nan said: "Let's go and see, maybe we can find it." ”
A few people went back to the yamen and pulled the horses out and galloped to the outside of the east city, out of the city gate to run for five or six miles, there were few people's tracks, the barren mountains beside the road were continuous, the snow was half melted, and the black, black, white and white were desolate and desolate.
Asked the scattered residents on the left, Fang knew that the burial place of the dead in the city was on a pine mountain three miles away from the north of the road, a few people walked slowly from the path, and soon saw the small hillside with dense pines and cypresses, and the graves were all over the ground under the hillside, and the white soul flags were blown by the cold wind and made a rattling sound, although it was daytime, it also made people's hearts cold.
The three of them got off the horse and walked slowly, listening to the north wind whimpering in the pine waves, which could not help but make people's hearts dull, and after searching for hundreds of graves, Song Nan found Dai Miao's grave, a simple piece of wood was inserted in front of the grave, and a few words were written crookedly on it, and the snow on the grave bag was half hidden, I don't know whether it was invaded by snow water, or dug by wild dogs, and a corner of the coffin was faintly exposed.
Song Nan sighed secretly in his heart, Dai Mo is also a member of the imperial court, although his behavior is pedantic, but after all, he is iron-clad and worthy of respect; But in a moment of anger, he died in Huangquan, his family was ruined, his wife died, and his daughter Dai Suer almost entered the leopard room, which is irresponsible from the perspective of being a father and a husband; For the sake of his reputation, he even cares about life and death, so he naturally does not take into account the feelings of his wife and daughter.
Song Nan was sighing to himself, and suddenly heard Wan Zhi say: "My lord, it seems that the steamed buns in front of this grave have just been offered." ”
Song Nan was stunned, and noticed that there were a few steamed buns and a glass of wine in front of the grave, but he didn't pay attention to when it was enshrined, and when he heard Wan Zhiyi say and looked over, he saw Wan Zhi pick up a steamed bun and pinch it, the steamed bun is soft and elastic, obviously it will not exceed half an hour, otherwise under such a severe cold, the steamed bun may have frozen into a hard lump.
Song Nan hurriedly looked around, there was no one near the left, the graves were all over the ground, and the pine trees were blocked, and he couldn't see the distance; Song Nan simply ignored the taboos, quickly climbed up to a tall tomb and looked around carefully, and faintly saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking on the mountain path in the distance, and hurriedly shouted: "In the mountain depression over there." ”
The three of them chased after them, took a shortcut and walked through the graves, startled a few wild dogs and several hares, and after crossing a small pine tree, they found that the swaying figures were indeed two figures.
Wan Zhi shouted loudly: "Those in front, please stay." ”
Wang Yong also shouted, the two of them were full of energy, the voice echoed in the wilderness, the two figures heard the shouting and stopped, the three of them struggled to run over the mud and snow, and when they got closer, they found that they were two women, one was an old woman in her fifties, and the other was a beautiful girl with drooping hair, the two of them were wearing patched clothes, carrying baskets, and there were a few dishes and other things in it.
An old man and a young man looked at the three of them with frightened eyes, not knowing what the three well-dressed men wanted.
Song Nan gasped and shook off a large lump of heavy mud on his feet, and asked, "Are the two of you going to the barren mountain in front of you to go to the grave?" ”
The old woman blessed and said, "Yes, what is this son doing?" ”
Song Nan said: "I want to inquire with the two of you, there is a tomb at the foot of the mountain, I don't know who is taking care of it, can you know or meet the person who went to the grave?" ”
The old woman and the girl looked at each other, their eyes full of wariness, and asked, "Who are you?" What is the purpose of asking about this? ”
Song Nan said with a smile: "I was entrusted by a friend to find Master Dai's grave, and by the way, I also looked for the servants of the Dai family." ”
The old woman was a little flustered, her eyes lowered and she refused to answer, but the girl stepped forward and asked, "This son, who is the friend you are talking about?" There doesn't seem to be much in the Dai family. ”
Song Nan said: "Of course there is, my friend's surname is Dai, his name is Su'er, and he is the daughter of Master Dai." ”
"Huh?" The old woman and the girl exclaimed at the same time.
The girl exclaimed, "It's Miss! ”
The old woman made a look in her heart, asked the girl not to talk much, and asked: "Don't lie to me, as far as I know, this Dai family has long been gone, and the Miss Dai Suer you said was also implicated and used as an official prostitute, how could she send someone to find it?" ”
Song Nan said: "If I guess correctly, the two must be the servants of the Dai family, I am indeed entrusted by Miss Dai Suer to find the place where his father is buried and the servants who are dismissed." ”
The girl asked, "Then tell me, what does Miss Dai look like?" ”
Song Nan said: "Beautiful as a fairy, I really don't know how to describe it." ”
The girl shook her head and pulled the old woman to do it, Song Nan hurriedly said: "By the way, there is a natural beauty mole between the eyebrows, and she can give a...... Hey, anyway, she wasn't used as an official prostitute, I rescued her, and now she's staying in the courtyard of my house. ”
The girl turned her head and said in surprise: "If it's really Miss, I'm ...... I'm her personal maid. ”
Song Nan laughed and said, "Then you must be called Wan'er, your young lady mentioned you." ”
The girl was surprised and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, I am Wan'er; Nurse, I've found Miss, Miss is alive and well. ”
The old woman was also overjoyed, the two hugged each other and cried with joy, and then kowtowed to Song Nan again; Song Nan hurriedly stopped and said, "Let's go see your young lady now, where do you live?" Do you want to pack some things? ”
The old woman wiped the corners of her eyes and said: "Yes, yes, Wan'er, let's hurry up and see Miss, this son, I take Wan'er to live in my mother's village not far away, and there is nothing valuable, so I can go back and clean up." ”
Song Nan smiled: "Okay, then let's go, Miss Dai doesn't know how happy she is to see you." ”
The five of them hurriedly turned back, and when they arrived at the place where the horses were down the hillside, the old woman sat behind Wan Zhi, and Wan'er sat behind Song Nan, and the three rode on the road Song Nan waved his whip, and the horse started to run, and Wan'er behind him was so frightened that she screamed and almost fell.
Song Nan smiled: "Hold my waist, look at your nurse, hug my brother's waist to death, so that you won't fall." ”
Wan'er was very ashamed, but she refused, Song Nan said, "Don't you want to see your young lady earlier?" ”
Wan'er said: "Shameful to answer." ”
Song Nan stretched out his hand and took her hand and put it on his waist and said: "When I entered the city, I hired a car, and no one saw it in the wilderness, so I hugged it tightly, but I was going to run." ”
Wan'er shy and refused, Song Nan urged the horse, the horse rushed out, Wan'er screamed and subconsciously hugged Song Nan's waist, only to feel the wind whistling in her ears, her hands and feet were cold, but her chest was hot against Song Nan's back, and it took a while to calm down her heart, and her hands also hugged Song Nan's waist tightly.
Song Nan could feel the softness on her back, Wan'er's hand didn't dare to be strong at first, but as the horse accelerated, she hugged it tighter and tighter.
Song Nan whipped and galloped, and galloped towards the east gate.
