Chapter 6 Mutations

Zheng Qingluan could feel that he was in a bumpy carriage, his last memory was the crying of the old lady, and then he saw the anxious and worried eyes of the second brother, and his neck hurt, and he didn't know anything. '''Could it be that she was kidnapped?'' immediately denied her guess, she remembered that she had been holding Hachi's hand, and she remembered the last time her second brother looked at her. Unless they allow it, and cooperate, no one can take themselves away quietly!

His limbs moved slightly, but he was not injured! Under his body was smooth brocade, and his body was covered with a thick quilt, and he did not feel cold.

Zheng Qingluan was a little dazed! Before coming here, he was a professor of Chinese language at a university! He was still single in his thirties! He was a leader among young people in academia, and an expert and scholar in many fields! He definitely came back from the examination after passing five hurdles and six times. She was raised by her grandparents since she was a child, and her grandparents took turns to bring her up. Growing up with a group of leather boys in the compound of the military region, he was often beaten in the barracks. Grandma is an old military doctor, an ancestral craft, and the price of getting into trouble is memorizing medical books. My grandparents are both university professors, and I always think that girls should have poetry and books in their stomachs, so they have four books, five classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and many miscellaneous studies, all of which have been learned. At the age of fifteen, he was admitted to B University and graduated at the age of eighteen. He was thrown into the army by his grandfather again, served for eight years, and was reinstated from injuries at the age of twenty-five, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. It was a time of blood and fire. Border jungles, drug lords, drug dealers, terrorist organizations, foreign forces, espionage, murder, every promotion, means someone sacrificed. After demobilization, I did psychological counseling for a long time before I could live like a normal person. After that, I kept taking graduate school and doctoral exams, doing academic research, and it was a kind of happiness to live a peaceful life like this. Until her grandparents, grandparents passed away one after another, and her parents had their own families and children, she suddenly felt that she had nothing to worry about. woke up and became a ten-year-old Xiaoqingluan. It's been half a year since I came here, and Zheng Qingluan is eleven years old.

After a long time of comfort, even basic vigilance has been lost!

Zheng Qingluan smiled self-deprecatingly, slowing down his breathing.

"It's almost dawn! I'm about to get to the county seat. This voice is very familiar, it is the second aunt who came out last night.

"Fortunately, I hurried day and night, and I was ahead of the government. "It's a strange male voice.

"Don't worry! The Xiao family's affairs have gone up and down, when is it a head. Pity such a little girl. ”

"Well, you sleep by it. ”

Zheng Qingluan waited for no sound to speak outside, and sat up quietly.

Before the government -- it means that the government is ready to arrest itself.

There have been several ups and downs in the affairs of the Xiao family -- it means that some people have talked about the Xiao family again.

What is in the hands of this Xiao family? Let people not even let go of such a little girl. I ran away, what should my father and mother do? What should I do with my brother and sister? Xiaoba is still young, what should I do?

Go back! You must go back! If you take someone else's body, you can't harm someone else's family again!

Besides, that's his own relatives! A loving father, a strict mother, a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted sister, a hard-working eldest brother, a shrewd and capable second brother, a shy and clever younger brother, without them, what is left of me?

Hiding on the side of the official road, watching the carriage go away, he stood up. There were a few abrasions on his body, some of which hurt, and he regressed a lot.

In any case, I have inherited the love of my second uncle and second aunt! I can know that it is a disaster, and I still come to the door and take the risk to help myself, this love is very thick. There's no time to convince them to send them back, that's all. Thinking that the second uncle saw that he had left a "blood book", the corners of his mouth curled.

It's not far from the secret pass, but hopefully we can catch up.

On the official road:

Zheng Shuangmu Zheng Lao Er looked at his mother-in-law leaning against the door of the carriage, sleeping sweetly, and felt sorry and distressed: "Mother, go to sleep in the carriage." ”

Mei nodded: "I don't know if I can't live in my hometown Erlang and Man'er!" said and went to the carriage.

"You're so blind!

"Daddy, stop! the child is gone!—"

Zheng Lao Er was startled, "whew", and hurriedly went over to look. The back door of the carriage was open, and he must have jumped off by himself. Zheng Laosan and Mei glanced at each other and slipped away under their noses without being discovered, this kid is just afraid that it is not simple!

"Look, Dad, this seems to be a word! ”

I saw that on the inside of the quilt, on the snow-white silk cloth, there were two lines of dark red words: "Second uncle, niece remember." The Xiao family already knows everything. Within three days, you will be able to get out, if you are not at ease, you can stay in the county. ”

"Oh, this unlucky kid! How could such a square person as the third child give birth to such a little thing. ”

Zheng Qingluan looked at the people on the third floor and the outer three floors at the door of his house, and knew that an official had come to the door.

I heard Xiaoba's cry, "Let go of my father, let go of my brother!-" Zheng Qingluan's heart ached. She hated her weakness and hated the Xiao family!

"Stop!" the roar of suppressed anger made the ears of the townspeople hurt. He saw the fourth uncle holding Xiaoba, Xiaoba struggling angrily, looking at the calm expressions of his father, mother and brother and sister, and he was urging the two officials to leave. Her tears suddenly rained down, this is to be suffered for her, so calmly for her.

Seeing her relatives whose faces turned pale because of herself, she became more determined than ever.

wiped away his tears, followed the path left by the crowd, walked to his father, knelt down slowly, and kowtowed three times. He stood up and saluted his brother and sister, and saw them tremble with trembling lips and shaking their heads in disapproval. I went to touch Xiaoba's little face again, "Second sister is back, don't be afraid!"

"Second sister!" This voice contains too much fear, fear, grievance and trust, and the cry is heartbreaking.

"You stupid girl! you complain about your father!-" Qian pulled her tightly, as if she would never lose it. Zheng Qingju's slap was slammed on her back: "Why are you so disobedient!

Saburo Goro protected him behind him, and his father kept saying to the officer: "Take me away! I should have died ten years ago, I cheated my daughter-"

The two officers were not very old, they looked like they were in their twenties, and they were embarrassed to explain, "I just said that I was just going to ask, don't embarrass us." ”

Most of the yacha are hereditary, and they are all natives of the county. The Zheng family is a big family, living here for generations, marrying daughters-in-law and daughters, I don't know how many families have been married, who doesn't have seven aunts and eight aunts, one of them is the nephew of the Zheng family, and the other is the son-in-law of the Zheng family. It's all very polite.

Zheng Qingluan's heart moved, the clan is not necessarily a bad thing!

So he stepped forward and smiled: "One is a cousin, and the other is a brother-in-law." I'll go with you!" After speaking, he walked towards the patriarch who was smoking with a calm face, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Child, don't worry! The old man will go in a while! Don't be afraid!" This is a kind-hearted old man, and this love will be remembered.

"Patriarch Grandpa, don't go! If I don't come back in three days, you remember to expel me from the clan!"

Zheng Qingluan's categorical words made the old man's nose sour, this is for fear of affecting the family! What a good child! He was also a witness when he was married!

It's rare to be so kind-hearted at such a young age.

The family is even more uncomfortable, because the children are afraid that they will be isolated in the village and excluded from the family, so they will form a good relationship.

Looking at the errand officer with an embarrassed face, he turned around, not daring to look back, "Let's go!"

"Girl!" Zheng Laosan's voice was filled with heart-wrenching despair.

Zheng Qingluan's steps paused slightly, and then walked forward more firmly, his head would not be, Xiaoba's cry, the call of his mother and sister, Zheng Qingluan was out of breath, "Dad!" Zheng Qingluan shouted, as loud as ever, "I'll sing you a song, you listen carefully." ”

Zheng Laosan nodded, looked at his daughter's back, and swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat. Then I heard a loud and open voice,

"In order to save myself from my homeland,

Who expected to be the champion in the emperor list.

The champion wears a red robe and hat and inserts palace flowers

It's so fresh!

I want to go to the Qionglin feast

I'm going to hit the horse in front of the street

Everyone praises me for Pan An's appearance

It turns out that the gauze hat covers Chanjuan

I don't want to be famous

I don't want to be a high-ranking official

For the sake of mom and dad and loved ones

Flesh and blood reunion flowers and moon round"

This is not the usual heroic minor tune in the northwest, it is a little unfamiliar, but it is unexpectedly good! Zheng Laosan was puzzled at first, then incredulous, and then suddenly realized the surprise, haha!

Saburo heard that there was something in this, but he didn't know what he was talking about, but when he saw that Gorou also looked suddenly enlightened, he knew that his sister was afraid that he had thought of a way to get out of trouble. Qian and Zheng Qingju were used to seeing them playing dumb riddles with each other, and when they saw the expressions of the father and son, most of the stones in their hearts fell!

But everyone doesn't know, and it was Zheng Laosan who was stimulated.

Zheng Qingluan heard that his father's laughter was not a trace of gloom, and his heart was relieved, he was afraid that he would blame himself too much for losing his body!

"Good!"

Zheng Qingluan laughed, and the silver bell-like laughter went farther and farther!

It wasn't until he was sure that his father and mother couldn't see her that he turned around and looked back at the way he had come!

"Don't be afraid, little girl! the townsfolk won't let you suffer in it!" the young man was tall and thin. Seeing that the little girl didn't cry or make trouble with such an idea, and didn't complain about it after driving such a long way, it was inevitable that she would have some sympathy. His mother is the granddaughter of the Zheng family, and he is also the grandson of the Zheng family.

"Thank you!" Zheng Qingluan was planning things in his heart, and answered.

"Alas, a little further on, is the tea house. Let's rest. Another young man couldn't bear to say, "It's past breakfast time now, and the little girl is afraid that she will be hungry!"

Zheng Qingluan looked at the two gratefully and saluted solemnly, "If you can get out of trouble, you will be rewarded." ”

Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression was calm, the two couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they were young in the end, and they didn't know how powerful!

The tea house is a place located on the side of the official road to sell tea and food. A few simple straw huts can shelter from the wind and rain.

Zheng Qingluan was very surprised to see three unexpected people here, Shiro and Erlang in the second room and his cousin Zheng Qingman.

When the three of them saw that the official had brought Zheng Qingluan in, Shiro immediately rushed over, took Zheng Qingluan's hand and looked up and down, and when they saw that they didn't look like they had been wronged, they were relieved.

Erlang over there asked the yacha to sit down with a grateful face, "Don't be weird two of you. My sister is young, and we as brothers are inevitably worried. I asked the boss to prepare the meal, and the two eldest brothers should not dislike the simplicity. ”

I saw a pot of oily braised pork and a pot of Bai Xuanxuan's steamed buns on the table, which was a little simpler, but definitely not thin. Don't look at the yacha all look majestic, but to be honest, that little bit of money is just enough to feed his wife and children, coarse tea and light rice can be full, this large piece of meat on the whole pot, I really haven't seen it. Immediately swallowed his saliva, feeling that Erlang was really a real person. They are all rough people, and they can't stand the seven plates and eight bowls the most, they look good, and they don't have anything at all. Look at how good it is, the fat, the big chunks, shining brightly.

"Little brother is really polite! We are on official business-" It means that knowing that you have a request for us, then it depends on what you have to do, those who can be accommodating can only say sorry if they can't, and we really can't touch your benefits.

"Big brother misunderstood! Our brother and sister are only here for two things," Erlang has been fighting with people from three religions and nine streams all the year round, how can he not understand what others mean, "First, add a dress to my sister." Pointing to the package in Zheng Qingman's hand, "In this kind of weather, I'm afraid that the prison is damp and cold, don't look at the person who has grown so big, and the person who is only a little over ten years old is too young." Saying that, he sighed, looked at the two of them nodding in agreement, and took out two silver ingots of one tael from his cuffs, and pushed them forward, "This second thing is to invite the two of you to have a meal, thank you for taking care of you all the way, knowing that you two have official business, this bit of silver, please drink." By the way, I would like to ask the two of you to help us take care of the brothers in the yamen and take care of the little sister. And he came out five denarii. It means that there is no one for the two of you, and you go back to watch the five taels.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and their smiles became more and more sincere. Eating with Erlang Shiro, who is called a brother and a brother, he turned a blind eye to Zheng Qingluan's side.

Zheng Qingluan ate in two of three and borrowed the kitchen from the store to change clothes.

Zheng Qingman is two years older than Zheng Qingluan, but he is almost the same height, "Don't dislike it, I made it before I returned to my hometown!" A dark brown tight cotton jacket, smoke gray cotton pants, and a pair of white sheepskin boots. A royal blue rabbit skin shoulder, knee-length, with a wide off-white belt tightly tied around the waist. has both the grace of a girl and the uprightness of a young man. It looks heroic and heroic. Combing his black hair into a high ponytail with an off-white turban, he is a little indistinguishable from male and female.

Zheng Qingman nodded with satisfaction, "It's better than me!" and stuffed some small bits and pieces into the hidden pocket around his waist, including pills, combs, and even needles and threads. He handed over a purse and lowered his voice, "This is a piece of loose silver, put it on the bright side and dot it." I made a hidden bag in the padded jacket, there were dozens of taels of silver tickets, I wrapped them in oilcloth, and don't touch it until the mountains and rivers are exhausted. He took out a dagger from his sleeve again, "There is a hidden pocket in the boots-" Before he finished speaking, he saw Zheng Qingluan playing with the dagger familiarly, and quickly put the dagger into the boot, and it was just a blink of an eye.

Zheng Qingluan smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not a helpless woman and child, it's really a last resort." She lowered her voice, "I'm going to die." Seeing Zheng Qingman's face full of doubts, "I know some Qimen gossip, the Five Elements Dunjia, and my skills are okay, so I want to escape early." If you can hide this time, it's okay, you can't hide, you tell the family, don't go up and down, I will take the opportunity to fake my death and escape, it won't affect the family, let them not worry, I will always survive. ”

Zheng Qingman nodded stupidly, this cousin is really not simple.

Zheng Qingluan smiled bitterly in his heart, what kind of fake death and running away is just a consolation word in case of emergency. No matter how good the plan is, it depends on the will of God, this is a road that no one has ever walked.

"The second uncle and aunt should be in the county seat now, you rush to the county seat at night, find them, and spread the news of me and the Xiao family as soon as possible, the more people know, the better." Seeing Zheng Qingman nodding seriously, his voice was lowered, like a whisper, "If you hear that the county government is arraigned, find a way to gather more people to go to the county government to hear the trial, the more the better! ”

Seeing that Zheng Qingman solemnly responded, he breathed a sigh of relief. She could see that the second uncle had been mixed up in the rivers and lakes all these years, and he had some contacts with the three sects and nine streams, and only the second uncle could do this!

When I heard that I had finished eating outside, I hurriedly washed my face, and the fatigue and dust of the night were gone!

When Zheng Qingluan walked out of the house, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, what a young man. I saw that she had fair skin, black and straight hair, a full forehead, long eyebrows and sideburns, and phoenix eyes as bright as stars. The nose is not as delicate as an ordinary woman, but with a bit of sharp and heroic spirit, and the lips are like blooming roses, full and plump. The posture is as tall as a loose, the waist is thin, and the legs are more slender and straight.

Shiro's nose was sour, he watched Zheng Qingluan grow up, and his feelings were naturally deeper, and the feeling of "my family has a girl who has just grown up" is not only a little more sad and frightened in this situation.

The amazement in Erlang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly didn't know whether it was good or bad to dress like this!

The two errand officers were even more surprised, they had seen so many people in the Zheng family, and secretly sighed that the head of this family was really outstanding, and when they saw Zheng Qingluan's ashes, they were mixed with ugly ducklings in the white swan, but they didn't expect it to be pearls covered with dust.

Erlang took off the cloak on his body and tied it for Zheng Qingluan, seeing that the wide black cloak covered his figure, showing a bit of coldness and awe-inspiring, he nodded with satisfaction, "Sheepskin! Block the cold at night for my sister! Sister, go, don't be afraid!"

Zheng Qingluan saluted solemnly, she has to remember these feelings for a lifetime!

Watching his sister walk away, the three of them walked back. Listening to Zheng Qingman's words conveyed to Zheng Qingluan along the way, Erlang was extremely surprised, there was such a character in such a ravine. Seeing Erlang, he was also surprised, "You don't know that Luan'er will gossip about the five elements?"

"He's going to have a lot of stuff! I don't know if it's going to be that mess. Just listen to his explanation of pride and regret, "You don't know, Luan'er is smart." Luan'er was about three years old that year, and I took them to play in the yard. The uncle was teaching Brother Lang to study, and the uncle only read both sides, Brother Lang didn't remember the first sentence, Luan'er remembered it while playing next to him, and he memorized a sentence that was not bad. Grandma felt sorry for Brother Lang, and called the third uncle to scold, he didn't give Luan'er food for a year, and after that, I never saw Luan'er studying. However, I know that the third uncle is secretly teaching in the house, and I heard Goro say that they are not as good as Luan'er. The third uncle copied books for almost ten years, and she was afraid that she had memorized all those books. It's not surprising that these will be. In the past six months, she secretly prescribed prescriptions for her family to see a doctor, and she also showed people in the Taoist temple, and she knew a lot of miscellaneous things. ”

Erlang and Zheng Qingman were dumbfounded.

I heard Shiro sigh: "The third uncle often regrets that Luan'er is not a man, otherwise he may be able to produce a champion!"

At this time, Zheng Qingluan was in the prison cell, and her legendary life began here!
