Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dumb

Previous Chapter

"Childe, why are you?" After watching it for a long time, Daddy Sun finally recognized Jiang Shenzhou. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Shenzhou to appear at this time, and his face was full of surprise.

"Hello Daddy Sun." Jiang Shenzhou smiled and nodded.

"It's windy outside, come in, come in and talk about it." Father Sun greeted him diligently and let the two of them into the house, although the house was simple, it was as warm as spring at the moment.

As soon as the two sat down, Father Sun thoughtfully sent hot wine: "Let's drink some wine first to warm up, this is the wine that has just been brewed today, I hope it meets your taste." ”

Jiang Shenzhou was not polite, after a glass of wine, he already felt comfortable all over, and even his throat was filled with warmth.

After a while, Father Sun slowly spoke: "Childe is here to find the old man?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou nodded, pointed at Qin Sheng and introduced, "This is Qin Sheng's Captain Qin of Tiance Mansion. ”

"Oh? Tiance Mansion? Father Sun asked puzzledly, "What is the place of Tiance Mansion?" ”

Qin Sheng explained: "Tiance Mansion is the military government of the imperial court. ”

"Oh......" Father Sun nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Captain Qin, please forgive me, I have lived in this small place all my life and have never seen much of the world." ”

"What's out of the way, what's out of the way." Qin Sheng barely squeezed out a smile and said slowly: "Old man, in fact, we came to you because of Sun Peng. ”

Sun Peng...... Do you have news of him? Father Sun stood up excitedly and asked in a choked voice.

Qin Sheng nodded, embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. The old man in front of him is over the age of sixteen and lonely. What if you find out that your only son is dead...... How heartbreaking that must be.

She didn't speak, but Father Sun had already seen her thoughts, and said gloomily: "Captain Qin said bluntly, it's okay, it's been six years, and the old man has long known that Sun Peng can't live anymore." Now...... The old man wanted nothing more than an answer. ”

"Old man, you sit down first...... Qin Sheng said softly: "We do have news of Sun Peng, it's just ...... Just ......"

Jiang Shenzhou had no choice but to go on for her: "It's just that he has died on the battlefield and will never come back." ”

As soon as he heard this, Father Sun suddenly became blank, and even his eyes became dull and empty. Although he already had a premonition, he still couldn't help but secretly hope that his son would still be alive, no matter how despicable he was, as long as the person was still alive.

Now that he had the answer, his heart died with the belated news.

Jiang Shenzhou untied the burden he was carrying, took out a letter from it, and said, "This is an official document issued by the Ministry of War." ”

The letter reads: It is hereby informed that Sun Peng, who is currently in Shangzhou, died in Liangzhou. Sun Pengzhi, Zhenguan has been in the army for 11 years, with loyalty and courage. Regardless of the blade, he went to the soup and went home, worthy of the demeanor of my Datang soldiers. Although his body is dead, his heroic soul will live forever, and it will surely shine in the annals of history. The secretary of the military department, Li Tao, respectfully

"This is a hundred taels of silver from the Ministry of War, which is used to reward Sun Peng's bravery and loyalty." Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Shenzhou took out a bag of silver from the package and put it on the table.

But Father Sun didn't hear a word of what he said, and he didn't even glance at the silver on the table. He just held the letter and looked at it over and over again, with mixed feelings on his old face.

In the dim room, a broken lamp reflected his wrinkled face, and the light was getting dimmer.

Like the old man sitting in front of the lamp, his life has come to an end, but at this time he heard the most unfortunate news.

"You say he died in battle?" After being silent for a long time, Father Sun asked in a choked voice.

"Sun Peng was brave and fearless, and he died in the battle to defend his family and country." Qin Sheng couldn't bear to tell him the cruel truth, so he had to make up a lie.

"No, your son is not dead." Jiang Shenzhou said suddenly.

Qin Sheng was taken aback, couldn't help but glared at him, and whispered, "What are you talking about?" Sun Peng is obviously dead. ”

Jiang Shenzhou shook his head and said, "Although Sun Peng is dead, Daddy Sun's son is still alive." His words were said to Qin Sheng, but his eyes were staring straight at the back kitchen.

In the back kitchen, the dumb man was silently filling wine, and he stopped when he heard Jiang Shenzhou's words.

"You said my son wasn't dead, so where is he now?" Daddy Sun's eyes flashed with tears, and he grabbed his hand excitedly and asked.

"Right here, he's always here with you." Jiang Shenzhou stood up and walked to the back kitchen step by step.

"Here?" Father Sun muttered, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Coming behind the dumb man, Jiang Shenzhou stopped and said slowly: "I hope you understand that Yu Chi Baolin has resigned from the crime, and from now on you will no longer have to hide, and...... We are not your enemies, but friends. ”

The dumb man was stunned, and suddenly fell to his knees and began to cry.

Father Sun stared at the mute and asked word by word, "You...... Are you really my Peng'er? ”

"Dad, the child is not filial!" The mute cried and nodded in acknowledgement.

Daddy Sun suddenly burst into tears, he recognized this voice, this is his son's voice, it will never be wrong! He staggered to the back kitchen, hugged the mute, and the two hugged their heads and cried, the cry was poignant and touching.

Seeing this, Qin Sheng's eyes couldn't help but turn red, Jiang Shenzhou quietly held her hand, his hand was very warm.

The father and son cried for a while, and finally calmed down.

Now, Daddy Sun only has joy on his face, he never thought that he would see his son again in his lifetime, and this kind of happiness that has been regained makes him red-faced.

Sun Peng walked up to Jiang Shenzhou and kowtowed respectfully three times: "The great kindness of the two is beyond retribution, and Sun Peng only has one life." In the future, the two of them have orders, and Sun Peng will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire. ”

Jiang Shenzhou helped Sun Peng up and said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me, and I don't need you to reciprocate, you did what you had to do, so I also did what I had to do, that's all." ”

Sun Peng nodded and looked at him gratefully.

Qin Sheng looked at Sun Peng and asked curiously, "We thought you were dead, what the hell is going on." ”

Sun Peng sighed heavily and told the story of the year.

When he returned to the barracks, he was escorted to Wolf Gu Mountain by Yu Chi Baolin to be executed, and Yu Chi Baolin hated the betrayer of his people the most, so he tied him to a horse and drove the horse into the depths of the desert.

No one can survive in the depths of the desert, and neither can Sun Peng. In addition, he was tightly tied by ropes, and he couldn't even move.

Two days later, the horse finally collapsed from exhaustion, and Sun Peng, who was tied to the horse's back, was also crushed under the horse, not only unable to move his body, but even most of his face fell into the hot sand.

"That's why your face ......" Qin Sheng suddenly realized, and she suddenly remembered that the companion of Tiance Mansion also had similar burns.

"That's right, that's when my face burned." Sun Peng nodded.

"How did you survive?" Jiang Shenzhou asked.

"Just when I thought I was going to die, a small team of Xue Yantuo horses suddenly appeared in the desert."

Jiang Shenzhou asked again, "They saved you?" ”

Sun Peng said: "Although they saved me, they had ulterior motives, because they wanted to get the inside story of the Tang Army from me." ”

Qin Sheng hurriedly said, "Of course you didn't say it. ”

Sun Pengdao shook his head and sighed: "Although I hate Yu Chi Baolin to the core, I also know that this matter is related to the safety of the entire Liangzhou, so I didn't say a word." ”

"And how did you escape?" Qin Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"It should be providence." Sun Peng smiled bitterly and continued.

Xue Yantuo interrogated Sun Peng for a while, but still couldn't ask a word, they thought Sun Peng was just an ordinary deserter, so they let down their guard and let him be a slave. Sun Peng endured humiliation and hard work for several months, and finally found a chance to escape and return to his hometown of Shangzhou.

After a series of changes, he has become ragged and haggard. When he knocked on the door of the house again, Daddy Sun couldn't recognize him anymore, in fact, it was no wonder, after all, Daddy Sun's eyes were dizzy, and his appearance had changed dramatically.

Father Sun thought he was a beggar and took him in out of pity.

Sun Peng made a mistake, so he pretended to be dumb incognito and silently took care of Father Sun. Because he knew that once Yu Chi Baolin found out that he was still alive, he would definitely not give up, and even his father would be affected.

It wasn't until today that he heard the news brought by Jiang Shenzhou that he finally dared to admit his identity. It is precisely because of this that Father Sun was able to find his son.

The story has ended, and Jiang Shenzhou and Qin Sheng have also left the restaurant.

They originally came to deliver Sun Peng's news, but now that Sun Peng has been found and their mission has been completed, it is time for the father and son to return to a peaceful life.

"I've finally figured it out." After leaving the apricot blossom forest, Qin Sheng said suddenly.

"What do you understand?" Jiang Shenzhou said.

Qin Sheng blinked, and said with a smile: "That's how you guessed Sun Peng's identity, because you recognized the burns on his face." ”

"That's just one of them." Jiang Shenzhou said with a smile. "There are two more reasons."

Qin Sheng asked, "Which two reasons?" ”

"First, when we mentioned Sun Peng's name just now, I saw that his whole body was shaking, which was very strange. Second, Daddy Sun told me that the dumb man came two years ago, and the time was just around the same time as Sun Peng's murder. ”

"I see......" Qin Sheng muttered, "Sure enough, nothing can escape your eyes." By the way, I didn't expect you to prepare a fake official document, and what happened to the one hundred taels of silver. ”

Jiang Shenzhou stared at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Who said it was fake?" Haven't you seen the seal letter of the dignified military department? ”

"Is it true? But how did you do it, it's an official document of the imperial court......" In the middle of her words, her eyes suddenly flashed with light: "I understand, it's Li Que who is helping you, right?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou smiled, did not admit it, but did not deny it.

Qin Sheng said movingly: "No matter what, Sun Peng has been recovered, and we are worth the trip." ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "This trip has ended, and we will go back to Chang'an soon......" He paused, stared at Qin Sheng and said: "I know that you are still blaming General Qin, but I also want you to understand that he has always been the father in your heart, and the reason why he did this is just to take care of the overall situation." ”

Qin Sheng didn't speak anymore, just looked at the quiet night faintly.

On the ground in the distance, a faint mist is slowly rising, and the air is filled with a vague fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Autumn is getting stronger and stronger.
