One hundred and eighty-five episodes
An old horse, an ugly man, alone, walking alone. Don't take the main road, take the secluded road, between the countryside, no one comes and goes for several days, the road is lonely and hot, but also makes the lack of mental turmoil.
"The war in the eight countries is in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living. A certain person has traveled nearly 200 miles, and there are no farmers ploughing in the countryside, and there are no hunters hunting on the barren mountains! Could it be that all the people here have fled for refuge? But even though the war is endless, how can all the people be willing to leave their homes?"
The next day will be the end of the day. The hair is gray, thin as a skeleton, shabby Confucian robes, and the ragged appearance is not described. The old man had a rickety face, a child on his back, but he was only five or seven years old, his face was languid, and he was as thin as firewood.
"Uncle, this is a fertile place, why don't you see half a farmer and a hunter?"
"Strong man, don't you listen to the ban on the border? It has been more than ten years since this order was issued, and where are the border people of Peiguo who dare to disagree, they have moved into the land of Guannei a few years ago. ”
It is not enough to say:
"It's about easy life, and it's not bad. ”
"Hmph! The people who moved into the customs have lost their fertile land and have no way to make a living, and there are many people who sell their children and daughters. Even if they live, who knows where they will be alive the next day? In order to be fed and warm, the men in the family joined the army, and after years of war, seven or eight out of ten people died. A woman is a slave or a servant, or even a prostitute, but she asks for a meal!
"It's sad to hear this! But where is the old man going?"
"Alas, the old man's grandson is hungry and sick, and has no money for treatment. Originally, I had help when I was a child in the Night River Army, but there were many times when I had no money and food to come home. I had no choice but to go to the night river to visit him, so as to save my grandson's life. ”
Hearing this, he frowned and said:
"I'm afraid that my father's trip is no longer necessary!"
"Huh?"
"The 100,000 families in Yehe have all died. My husband can't ask for help. ”
"The strong man's words are true!"
"There is no bullying of each other. ”
Insufficient sighed.
"Oh my son・・・・・・!
When the old man heard this, he was silent for a while, as if he had become accustomed to such events, and then suddenly he whimpered and wept again.
"How is it good for my grandson to suffer from such a disease・・・・・・?"
"Ahhh・・・・・・h・・・・・・・・・・・・h
"Alas, old man, can this child have a little bit of medical skills?"
"Thank you, sir, please be sure to see one or two to save this poor child! His mother is dead, and this time his father is dead. Alas, I am alone in the countryside, old and sick, how can I raise him to grow up? Engong can see that although this child is nine years old, he is so thin and small, even though he is a daughter, where can he see it? In such troubled times, and at such an age, how can I raise him to grow up?
When I heard this, I suddenly felt sad, and naturally remembered my grandfather. When his father died and his mother died, and the enemy chased and killed, he fled with his young grandson, hiding and hiding like a lost dog, I don't know how he survived back then?
After thinking about this, my compassion soared, and I calmed down and carefully examined the skinny child with this disease. It's just that he is too hungry, and he doesn't eat it properly, which causes him to be poisonous. If you are an ordinary doctor, this disease will be difficult, with less than the work of medicine and stone, more than 100 years of knowledge, but Raul who raises his hand. He thought for a moment, and then said:
"This place is deserted, and there is no prescription available, why don't you slack off here and wait for a certain person to enter this ridge to find medicinal herbs?"
"Mr. Dade, the little second child will be rewarded with a grass ring!"
Hearing this, he smiled, and did not suspect him, so he entered this mountain range to look for medicinal herbs.
Half a day later, he carried a green sheep on his shoulder and came from afar. Seeing that the old man was sitting quietly with his back to Shi Yan, and the child lying between his legs, as if he had fallen asleep, he sighed and said to himself:
"In troubled times, who can avoid the sorrow of life and death!"
When he got closer, he called the old man softly, and when he saw that he was silent and did not move, he reached out and stroked his shoulder, and the old man's body was crooked, and he actually fell to the ground obliquely. Not to be surprised, he reached out to his nose and tried it, but the old man had already died, and his body was stiff. Then I visited the child, although he was weak, but he was not dead! I saw a brocade in the old man's arms, and there were several lines of blood writing on it.
"Engong is above, and the little second child kowtows. Guan Engong is also a very person, so the little second child sacrificed his life and entrusted my daughter and grandson Jiang Chun'er to Engong and begged to raise him. In the next life, the second child will be a cow and a horse to repay him!
It is not enough to look at this masterpiece, knowing that this old man has given up his life for his grandson and entrusted himself alone, and he said without being depressed:
"Alas, my husband, a certain family has escaped here, and there is no fixed place to live, how can they entrust this child with their lives?
Enough, the old man was buried in the leeward high ground next to the road. Then the green sheep was killed, and a fire was set up next to the stone rock to barbecue. Then wrap the old man in the casserole to get water, and put the herbs into the pot to boil. When the medicine is good, feed the child to take the medicine.
The two of them stayed in this place for three days, and the potion and meat soup complemented each other, and the child was already alive like a little beast.
"Jiang Chun'er, go to the grave of your grandfather and kowtow goodbye. The road ahead with me is difficult, the future is uncertain, but I am afraid that when the future is old, you will regret today's words. ”
"Father-in-law, the child is young and helpless, his father is dead, his mother is dead, and his ancestor is dead. If there is no help from the father-in-law, he will die early. He is pitied by his father-in-law, and he protects his armpits, which is already the grace of regeneration! That is, as he grows older, how dare he be greedy and regret the grace of his life?"
Hearing nothing, he stroked Jiang Chun'er's hair lightly with his hand, and said nothing more. The boy ran to his grandfather's grave and knelt on the ground, and wept:
"Grandpa, the child has already worshiped his benefactor as his father-in-law, and he wants to be born with his father-in-law. If he dies in an accident, he will inherit the bloodline of my Jiang family when he grows up, and he will never be severed!"
He bowed his head and wept and returned.
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, staring at the thin figure of this little child, and said secretly in his heart:
"You have a heart, and you must protect you thoroughly, with the heart of your fist!"
Because of this, there is no choice but to drag an orphan girl on the road.
If you are not enough to cultivate at the peak of the Dharma Body, you can already go without food. However, where can this ordinary child withstand hunger and thirst? If you want to use the magic power of insufficiency, hunting beasts to find medicine can be easily obtained by sitting on the ground and casting the god of knowledge, but it is not enough to exercise Jiang Chun'er's physique, but instead of being reluctant to go into the mountains for a long time, the speed of this journey is greatly reduced.
In March again, Jiang Chun'er already had a white complexion, and although the cloth was simple, she did not hide her exquisite and clever face like a little fairy.
"Chun'er, the big city ahead is the capital of Pei, and I can enter the city, but my father needs to find my earlier iron gun and dart bureau, so that I can escort the dart forward, with the oath of the whole family that day. ”
"Yes, the boy knows. ”
On the south gate of the capital city, the moat meanders away, the suspension bridge on it is wide and heavy, and there are dozens of soldiers standing on both sides with weapons. On the bridge, business travelers came and went, and villagers and scholars came one after another. The city gate is wide and tall, and the view is like a majestic pass that oppresses people's hearts.
"Daddy, the soldiers here are so vicious!"
"Well, hehehe, Chun'er, how can you pay attention to such soldiers guarding this majestic city when you don't see it? People's hearts should yearn for lofty and majestic things, and don't care about small things, so as to bury the hope in your chest!"
"Yes, Daddy, the child saves. ”
So, it was not enough to bring Chun'er into the city. As soon as he reached the city gate, a sudden sound sounded:
"Lord Zaifu has an order, and all weapons such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, etc., carried by people must be handed over, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
When he heard this, he raised his eyes and saw a soldier riding a horse, with a yellow silk in his hand slightly open, and his mouth kept preaching the decree.
"Skinny Skull, what about you. Don't you listen to the general's orders? Quickly untie the waist knife from your waist and hand it in. ”
"Master Jun, a certain family is the dart master of the dart bureau, the laws of the country, the dart master, etc., can be equipped with swords and soldiers to enter and exit, how can you now abolish the law and lose faith in the people?"
"Shut up! Military affairs, how can you be a little pariah, you can talk about it! Come on・・・・・・"
