Chapter 22 Benefactor Lao Wu
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know when, but in the darkness, there were bursts of soreness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Iron opened his heavy eyes.
I thought I was caught in a broken temple. Tie Xing really didn't expect that he would be in a very simple firewood house. I touched my arms, and there were a lot of things with me. Iron nature is then looking at the environment.
The house is very old, but it is very tidy. Even the firewood room was very clean. Chai He is also neatly stacked. Iron heart can't help but be wide.
A small footstep came from far and near. Tie Xing frowned, took a few handfuls of firewood and stuffed it into the quilt on the bed, and then flew to the roof with his sour body, holding his breath. Friend or foe are unknown, be careful.
It was a little boy who pushed open the door of the firewood room, struggled over the threshold, and then rested the bowl in his hand on the head of the bed. Stunned, he struggled to climb up to chuang, and his mouth was chirping, and it took a lot of effort to know what the child was talking about. But he told his uncle to get up and eat.
Seeing that there was no response in the quilt for a long time, the little boy lifted the quilt, and his two little eyes widened. Then he climbed out of bed, crossed the threshold with great difficulty, and ran away with a grunt. screamed in his mouth: Uncle has become firewood.
Tie Xing smiled slightly, descended to the ground, and looked at the contents of the bowl, it was indeed a bowl of white rice porridge, and some kimchi.
Innocuity. This is the argument that iron-clad summed up. Then, as soon as he flashed, he went out, and although it was sore, Iron didn't take that feeling to heart.
Small miscellaneous yard. There is a wing room on the left and right. There is a hut with a chimney in the wing room on the right. Then, on the right should be the dining room and kitchen. On the left is the host's house. In the courtyard is a small sycamore. The age of the tree should be around six years. Not surprisingly, this should be a family that has just moved in. The courtyard is still clean, and the owner of the house must love to be clean and tidy. The character should be rather twisted than bent. In other words, it's stubborn. If the child comes to deliver porridge, then it must not be the lady in charge of the house. It's men. It is possible that you have been widowed.
If a child speaks indistinctly, it should not be taught incorrectly, but he has a physical disability. Most likely, a big tongue.
There is a willow behind the right wing, which should be a pond with a mouth, which is a place to retreat.
The moment Iron Sex swept across the courtyard, these thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, when Tie Xing saw the field at the door, he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't have any other idea of escaping in his heart.
It was a man with four small children. The little ones are sturdy and look alike. It should be quadruplets. When the stumbling little child ran over and cooed, the three little children were coquettish on the man who was dressed plainly but had a vicissitudes of life. The sleeves were pulled, the trouser legs were pulled, and one of them hugged his head, and he didn't let go of the turban. Before he knew it, Iron Sex laughed.
The man finally heard the little boy's words clearly, and as soon as he wanted to go into the courtyard to take a look, he saw Iron Sex standing at the door and smiling at him.
"Well, it made Childe laugh." The man said in a sneering voice, but under his body were four little children staring at this big brother who was a little thin with big curious eyes.
"Did the gentleman bring me back?" Iron sex saluted.
"Sir didn't dare to do anything, but I carried my son back from the broken temple that day." The man's answer and his etiquette were very elegant, not like a farmer: "I don't know what Childe is called?" ”
"Mr. is too modest, the kid is iron-hearted, dare to ask Mr. Gao's surname?"
"Hehe, I think I should be a few years older than Childe, Childe can call me Lao Wu." The man surnamed Wu patted the heads of several children, and the children scattered and ran away.
"You're welcome that night." Iron nature is not a person who is obsessed with etiquette, and he does not say much, so he answers.
"Childe hasn't eaten today, has he?" Lao Wu said with a smile: "I haven't gone out to teach apprentices in the past few days, but I don't have any good wine and food, so my son will come to the house with me to eat." ”
"Don't be busy yet." Iron frowned: "But I don't know what day it is?" ”
"It's August 13." Lao Wu replied.
"Oh? How far is that gentleman from Yongzhou City? Iron frowned again.
"Even with my four children, it's only a day's journey." Old Wu didn't understand why the young man was just asking these inconsequential questions.
"I think Mr. is also a bold person, there is still some money left here in his later life, why don't you take me to the street, let's go to get some wine together, okay?" One is to thank Mr. for his helper, and then I want to be a good friend with Mr. Tie Xing saw Lao Wu's doubts. He finally let go of his own heart. This person surnamed Wu not only took himself far away, but also took himself in the direction of Yongzhou City for about seven or eight miles.
"It's wonderful, it's just that the children at home are unattended." Lao Wu first stroked his palms and laughed, but after thinking about it, his face drooped.
"Isn't my sister-in-law at home?" Although Iron Sex had already guessed that the hostess should be gone, he still wanted to be sure.
"Alas...", Lao Wu sighed.
"Why is the gentleman sighing?" Iron was a little embarrassed in his heart.
"It's a long story." Lao Wu shook his head: "Let's go, let's go." What do you want him to do with the past? Let's go, let's buy wine. ”
Lao Wu was no longer worried about his child, stepped forward and grabbed the iron hand, and strode out.
Half an hour later, the two came back, but they brought a lot of food and wine, Lao Wu first arranged the four small ones on the low table in the courtyard, and then moved a table from the room, put it under the tree, and ate and drank with the two of them.
After three rounds of drinking, the iron nature is not half drunk because of the deep relationship of internal force, but Lao Wu is a little confused.
"Brother, let me tell you..."Lao Wu cried somehow: "Your brother is useless!" ”
"Brother don't cry, but if there is any difficulty, you might as well say it, and see if the little brother may help you." Seeing him crying pitifully, Tie Xing couldn't help but think of helping him.
Lao Wu shook his head, bit his lip and cried. Before the words are spoken, the tears flow first. What is it that makes such a heroic person have such an unbearable past? Iron Nature couldn't help but sigh in his heart. patted Lao Wu's back, and the iron couldn't help but feel a little sad.
After crying for a long time, Lao Wu sobered up a little, and then poured out the words in his heart.
It turned out that he was originally a staff general in Ningbo, Zhejiang.
That year, when the Japanese invaded, his immediate boss fled, and when his wife was pregnant, he resolutely led his soldiers to defend it. After resisting the attack of the Japanese invaders, he himself was seriously wounded.
Unexpectedly, when the Japanese could not defeat the local area, they went to harass the neighboring Taizhou, and after the Taizhou city guard abandoned the city and fled, the local area suffered heavy losses. And his boss quietly returned to the city after he repelled the Japanese and reported to the court that he had resisted the attack of the Japanese and took all the credit on himself. At that time, Lao Wu was young and vigorous, and he was unwilling, and humiliated the dog officer who was greedy for life and afraid of death in front of him in the barracks.
Unexpectedly, the dog official was a relative of the Korean and Chinese ministers, and a small report accused him of dereliction of duty, which led to the Japanese being able to quietly attack Taizhou, resulting in heavy losses in Taizhou. There are even eunuchs from Dongchang who are embarrassed on the side, and they directly bring people to Ningbo to get people after hiding from the military department.
If it weren't for Lao Wu's own ability, and he had a friend who served in Jinyiwei, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape death. Although he escaped at that time, his wife gave birth to four scales in a desperate way after a long journey, and left for the west.
Lao Wu took his four children and ran all the way. relied on begging for rice soup to pull these four children to life. After tossing and turning, I came to Hunan, and I didn't want to run away anymore, so I simply chose such a dilapidated yard on the edge of a small town to live in.
The mountain village is closed, coupled with the high emperor and the rise of the Donglin Party, Dongchang has no time to take care of it, and this day has slowly passed, making a living by teaching and hunting.
Speaking of this, Lao Wu suddenly pulled down his coarse cloth clothes. I saw that the strong body was full of knife wounds and sword wounds. He said excitedly: "Brother, have you seen it?" This is the wound left by your brother when he beat those puppies! Is this fake? ”
Then, he pointed to a wrinkled red scar on his chest and said loudly, "Do you know what this is? This was beaten by the imperial court! Hit with a musket by a rabbit cub from the court! If I hadn't put the state of mind protection that my mother had always let me wear on my chest at that time, your brother and I would have confessed. ”
As he spoke, he cried again, and his eyes were red, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted, "This is fate!! Hell!! ”
The four children also stopped eating, and had less fun during the day, so they quietly came to Lao Wu's side, surrounded him, and leaned their little faces on him. Quietly cried.
Lao Wu was in tears, and he hugged the four children in his arms, and the soybean-sized teardrops fell on the children's faces, hands and hearts one by one.
"The old brother has figured it out now, look at the brother, you are pleasing to the eye, and the bitterness that has been held in my heart for seven years has been spit out at once, and the old brother doesn't want anything else. If you want to hand me over to the government, my brother will admit it. Just pity the four children. It's a pity that they didn't have a mother's pain when they were born. There is no mother's pain. When Lao Wu said this, he couldn't say any more, so he couldn't cry anymore as he hugged the four children who cried like him.
When Tie Xing heard this, he could no longer hold back the emotion in his heart and shed tears.
However, at this time, Tie Xing felt an unusually cold breath rise from the dantian, and hit his heart fiercely, and under the colic, Tie Xing's eyes turned black and he fell.
"Brother! Brothers! Lao Wu was still crying, but when he heard a plop, he looked up, but he fell to the ground with an iron bang, his whole body curled up, and his face was twisted to the extreme because of pain. Frost also formed on the eyebrows and hair.
Seeing this situation, Lao Wu didn't dare to touch the iron, this frightened, the wine also woke up, so he strode to the firewood room to get a large bundle of firewood, and lit a fire around the iron. Then he went to the room and rolled everything that could be covered and wrapped into the iron body. In the meantime, he accidentally touched one of his fingers and was immediately frozen, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and split that finger with a palm knife, I am afraid that even he would have frozen.
After all the work is done, Lao Wu has no choice, in the mountain village, it's night again, where to find the doctor? had to hug a few children beside him, silently begging God to have mercy on this young man and give him a way to live.
