readx;? Yang Jing and Tang Chong came on horseback this time, the mountain road was relatively rugged, they just led the horse slowly, out of the mountain pass, and saw that they were about to enter the flatter country road, but found that a horse team appeared in front of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It is not easy to see tall horses in the south, they are some short ponies with good stamina, used to carry weights and trailers, Rao is so, and the horse team of more than a dozen people is quite spectacular.
This horse team pulled a cart and carried goods such as tea, bricks, salt, and other goods, which should have been a caravan that entered the mountains to trade with the village.
Tang Chong was not surprised that the caravans of the Han people traded frequently with ethnic minorities, especially with the mature seedlings.
Moreover, when the horse team approached, even Yang Jing recognized the origin of this horse team, because the first person rode the only chestnut high-headed horse, which was Zhou Nanchu, and this caravan was naturally the caravan of the Zhou family.
This can be regarded as a narrow road, for Zhou Nanchu, Yang Jing does not have a good impression, and Zhou Nanchu hates Yang Jing even more.
Zhou Nanchu saw Yang Jing and Tang Chong's horses carrying luggage and bedding, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the fresh clothes were angry and proud, and he pointed with a horsewhip and mocked mercilessly.
"Yo, isn't this Young Master Yun, what's the matter? Finally swept away?hahaha!"
Yang Jing stopped slightly, just glanced at Zhou Nanchu, and then continued to move forward, ignoring him.
In Yang Jing's view, Zhou Nanchu is just a villain, and he can't clash with him, anyway, he has already left Miao Village, so why bother making more troubles, more things are better than less things.
Tang Chong was also worried that Yang Jing was young and vigorous, and he would have a big fight with the son of the Zhou family, and he was even ready for a big fight, but he didn't expect Yang Jing to endure it.
He looked at Yang Jing's back, and suddenly felt that the cloud dog in his impression seemed to be a different person.
Talking about Yang Jing's investigation of the case, just talking about Yang Jing's conduct is completely different from the past, and he seems to have an impenetrable aura on his body.
Zhou Nanchu couldn't wait for Yang Jing to reply and let him be humiliated, but he didn't expect Yang Jing to be disdainful of himself, Zhou Nanchu punched in the air, but he felt a little hot face and a cold ass, so he was not embarrassed.
"Phew, lost dog, see how arrogant you are!"
Zhou Nanchu scolded behind him, but Yang Jing was still indifferent, until he and Tang Chong walked away, he still heard Zhou Nanchu scolding, and seemed to whip the entourage around him: "Why, it's all looking at your young master's joke!"
The entourage didn't have any excuses, obviously getting used to Zhou Nanchu's moody personality and behavior.
The commotion behind him gradually disappeared, and Yang Jing finally stepped on the wide country road, as the field of vision became wider, Yang Jing seemed to have forgotten the face of the right talent, stretched his waist on the horse's back, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Yes, from now on, he will officially say goodbye to the past and start his own new life, what else is there to be depressed?
Tang Chong was also in a good mood, he looked at Yang Jing a little confused, and it wasn't until Yang Jing noticed his gaze that he looked away a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong with Brother Tang? don't you know me?" Yang Jing teased with a smile.
Tang Chong was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to speak, and finally said bluntly.
"If it had been in the past, the young master would have fought with him a long time ago..."
Although Yang Jing asked him three or four times not to call himself young master again, Tang Chong was stubborn and stubborn, and Yang Jing no longer bothered about this issue.
Yang Jing really wanted to ask Tang Chong, what kind of person was Yun Gou'er before, if he was really so wasteful, how could Old Man Lu treat him as his own for more than ten years, and how could an upright and loyal man like Tang Chong be willing to follow?
Anyway, from now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, so why bother with the past, Yang Jing's heart knot was opened, and he said to Tang Chong with a smile.
"It's not worth fighting with this kind of person, Brother Tang, don't look at him now, he is like a big young master, this week, I don't think it will be long before I get proud..."
Yang Jing was originally a joke, but he didn't expect Tang Chong to ask seriously: "How do you know that the Zhou family will not last long, could it be that you will not be able to tell fortunes?"
He is an upright man, and he already feels that something big has happened to Yang Jing, but now that he hears Yang Jing's assertion, he is even more curious.
Yang Jing didn't expect Tang Chong to be serious, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he thought Tang Chong was cute, so he said nonsense.
"Brother Tang, look at it, this week Nan Chu is polite on the surface, but in fact he is moody, arrogant and arrogant, and has no warmth to his subordinates, and beats and scolds him at every turn, who is willing to do his best for his Zhou family?"
"Besides, the Zhou family is in a vein, and the Zhou Wenfang is not clean, where can the Zhou family be clean this time?"
The previous sentence is okay, Yang Jing saw it with his own eyes, the people in the Zhou family's caravan are in a state of mind, obviously they are all struggling to make a living, and few of them are really working hard for the Zhou family, but the latter sentence is mostly subjective, and it is very serious, and it is a joke.
Unexpectedly, Tang Chong nodded quite seriously, as if he believed in Yang Jing's words, Yang Jing didn't dare to joke with him anymore, the two rode their horses, sped up, and arrived at the Chen family's courtyard on the shore of Dongting Lake in the afternoon.
Seeing this familiar courtyard and the familiar bamboo fence outside, Yang Jing couldn't help but feel emotional, and walked into the courtyard after getting off the horse.
"Uncle Chen! Brother Shuisheng, I'm back!" Yang Jing shouted excitedly and excitedly, but he didn't respond for a long time, and when he walked to the door, he heard a clang in the room, and when he opened the door, it was the bedridden old man Chen Chao who struggled to get up, accidentally fell to the ground, and knocked over the urinal!
"Uncle Chen!"
Yang Jing walked over in three or two steps, and hurriedly helped Chen Chao up, only to feel that the old man was as skinny as firewood, and his skin and bones were as light as bones!
Although Chen Chao's eyes were full of joy, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were black, his face was pale, and his white hair was completely different from the sturdy old man who was fishing and trawling in Yang Jing's impression!
"Uncle, what's wrong with you!" Yang Jing hugged Chen Chao to the bed, not to mention how distressed he was.
The father and son once gave him selfless help, and even threatened his life because of it, but now the old man is bedridden and knows nothing, and Yang Jing is also full of guilt.
"It's okay, people are like this when they're old, it's useless..."Chen Chao still had a simple face, and he didn't mention this, and changed the topic: "Why did you come back? Everything from the last time was taken care of? Every time Shui Sheng went to the town to sell fish, I asked him to look for you, but unfortunately I never got any news... Are you doing well? Have you ever had a hard time?"
Yang Jing saw that Chen Chao was still concerned about him, his eyes suddenly moistened, and he hurriedly explained: "Uncle, don't worry about it, I came back this time to take you and Shui Sheng to live in the town, and let me honor you, uncle!"
Chen Chao saw that Yang Jing was dressed cleanly, and there was an entourage behind him, so he knew that Yang Jing's life had settled down, and said with a smile: "You can do well, I, an old man, are used to the days when the water comes and goes, and when I get better after a while, I still have to fish, and the town is not comfortable to live in." ”
Yang Jing knew that Chen Chao would be reluctant to this place, but if it weren't forced by life, who would be willing to stay away from the villages and towns, and the father and son would stay on the shore of this Dongting Lake?
Chen Chao noticed Yang Jing's mood change, so he was relieved: "I know that you have a heart, but uncle, I have lived here for most of my life, this is my home, Dongting Lake is my home, as long as this lake does not dry for a day, I will not starve to death Your Uncle Chen, isn't this right?"
When Yang Jing heard this, his heart became uncomfortable, and he turned his head to see that the house was surrounded by walls, a small stove in the corner, and a small medicine pot on the stove, gurgling and steaming, and the smell of medicine and feces filled the damp room.
Yang Jing immediately continued to persuade that Tang Chong should also be a bitter child, washed the bowl, skillfully lifted the medicine pot, poured out all the water agents, and brought it to the bedside.
Yang Jing happened to be waiting for Chen Chao to drink the medicine, and when he smelled that the medicine was not right, he put down the bowl and opened the medicine pot to see that it was full of some wild bitter herbs and other things, where was the Chinese medicine caught by the serious pharmacy!
"Uncle, don't say it, pack up and follow me into the city, first recover from my illness, and if I want to fish in the future, let's just come back." ”
As soon as Yang Jing said this, Chen Chao didn't want to say anything more, just moistened his eyes and hung his head silently.
After being silent for a long time, Yang Jing found that Chen Chao's tears were falling down, and his pants were wet!
"Hey... What kind of sin do you say I have created! I, Chen Chao, have never done anything bad in my life, how can I live such a miserable life... I haven't read any books, but don't they all say that people will win the sky, and I just have to be miserable, let the aquatic life also follow me to live a hard life, I feel uncomfortable!"
"He has no mother since he was a child, and he has not had to read, he has followed me to fish since he was sensible, such a good guy, but he has no good clothes, no good food, I am a father, I am a balloon!"
This old man who has been struggling to survive for most of his life, thinking that he can carry it, seems to have finally bowed to fate, and his tears can't be stopped.
Yang Jing was also uncomfortable listening to it, pinching Chen Chao's shoulder, unable to say comforting words for a long time.
What kind of hard life can defeat a man as hard as a stone like Chen Chao, and how many people like Chen Chao are there on the shore of Dongting Lake?
If you want to survive in this era and get ahead at the bottom, how many people can succeed?
Yang Jing was thinking in his heart, but there was a pop outside the door, Yang Jing walked out quickly, and found Chen Shuisheng sitting on the ground, crying, obviously hearing his father's words.
The basket fell to the side, and a crucian carp the size of a three-finger crucian carp struggled and bounced in the mud, just like the fate of the two fathers and sons.
Yang Jing walked over and helped Chen Shuisheng up, but the latter just buried his head deeply and didn't dare to look at Yang Jing.
Yang Jing patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Shui Sheng, let's go with Brother Yang, this world is about to change, and more hard days are still to come, let's not work harder, but we can't even fish by the lake..."
