Chapter 39: Serendipity
The young master looked at the starry sky that would spin from time to time, and couldn't help laughing, laughing at the cage he had set for himself, and the indescribable ease of going out of the city made him feel very comfortable, whether it was the sound of frogs, the miserable screams of nightingales, or even the cooing of toads sounded like music.
He knew that the city was safe and the city was always facing assassination, but this was exactly what he wanted, to end his suffering in an extremely irresponsible way, to open the knot of death.
is also out of the city, why didn't he feel this way when he traveled a few days ago, the young man asked secretly in his heart, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it. Since you are out of the city, you will go to the west, and you can go as far as you can.
The rickety master panted, muttering in his mouth as he walked, and popping out a few words from time to time, mostly scolding himself. And behind him, Ran didn't dare to follow too closely, and followed from a distance.
The lights on the city tower are getting darker and darker, and the master has unconsciously staggered out of a few miles, he looked back, and the fire in the city tower in his blurred vision was only a vague dot, big and small, bright and dark.
Let's say goodbye, after all, there are still words and etiquette there, and there is a Yunzhu who can also speak to himself, and Zhuang Gong and Zijing who value themselves so much for some reason, and a group of servants...... Xiao Ye thought of more and more people worth remembering, and in just a few months, Xiao Ye couldn't imagine that so many people were integrated into his mind.
"Huh." The master laughed at himself.
Then he turned around and continued to walk into the dark distance.
But the wine is getting stronger and stronger, the master is not only confused, but his stomach also begins to stir, and bursts of nausea are surging, but fortunately, he can vomit anywhere, and the seven or eight jars of wine and sour water are all vomited out.
The fire of the castle tower can no longer be seen here, the cold after the early morning and the vomiting made the little master shiver again and again, he hugged his arm, and found that the jar with almost no wine was still in his hand, and then shook, and the sound of wine could be heard, so he drank again. He thinks that wine warms the body, and in his place it warms the heart.
There was no more wine in the altar, and the master shook again, almost falling from the bottom to the sky, but not a drop of wine was poured out.
"you!"
A scolding is probably scolding himself or Xiaobai's identity, but after all, it will not be a wine jar thrown out with the scolding.
The young master was strong enough, and the wine jar was thrown far away, but it was not broken when it landed, and the scream he was expecting failed to come out.
"Hehe, sturdy enough, stronger than me." The master laughed at himself. Looking around, I saw a bright spot in the front left of the fire, and it was estimated that there was a family there.
This wilderness is very cold, maybe there are wild beasts infested, and the pain of being bitten to death is worse than suicide, so it is better to find someone to spend the night.
When the master approached, the fire was extinguished, but he found that it was the outskirts of a very small village. The footsteps of the master surprised a few of the dogs he hated the most, if it weren't for those two wolf dogs, why would I be here? There was still a little fear in the hatred, he was afraid that he would wake up the peasant family who was still dreaming. So he slowed down as much as he could, and walked towards the village.
A few cold rooster crows caused other roosters in the village to crow, for a while the village rooster crowed, and the screaming master shivered, but while the dog could not hear the footsteps, the master entered the village, looked around and found some straw in an abandoned barn, so he climbed in and fell on the straw......
"Monkey, do you know that girl?" Xiao Ye pointed to a girl walking towards them, and asked the skinny monkey beside him.
"I know, the junior high school class, what's the matter?" The monkey held up his glasses, carefully focused his eyeballs to confirm more clearly, and returned to the master after confirmation.
"It's so beautiful. You go and help me get her WeChat. ”
"Hey, handsome guy, what kind of aesthetics, can it be called beautiful, at best it is called temperamental, and it depends on me to do things like WeChat? If you just stop in front of her, and do nothing else, the girl will definitely ask you for WeChat. The monkey gestured at the same time.
"That's right, I think how many girls my master likes. Then we'll see. The young man was full of confidence and strode towards the girl. When she was about to approach, Xiao Ye stood up and stood in front of her.
"Good dog out of the way, get out of my way." She failed to follow the monkey's setting and gave the master a blow to the head, but the master liked it even more, liked her domineering, turned sideways as she had taught, and got out of the way, but the master did not give up, and then asked:
"Beauty, can you add WeChat?"
"How old are you? Dare to block the road and forcibly ask for the girl's WeChat, don't think I don't know who you are, be careful I tell the Academic Affairs Office. ”
As soon as this remark came out, the master was completely dumbfounded, but the more difficult the girl was, the more attractive the master.
"Hey, hey......" The young master had no choice but to sigh in the face of such a girl.
And this "hey, hey" sound in the master's dream, and also in the time and space where the master is now, reminded the mother-in-law who was boiling porridge.
"I don't know which young master it is, are you sober?" The mother-in-law rushed over and asked.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that he had come from the straw stack to a bed, and a mother-in-law was walking towards him.
"Am I not in a barn? How to lie here? The master thought in his heart, and looked at his mother-in-law who came over with doubts in his eyes.
The mother-in-law saw his doubts and said: "Early in the morning, I went to pick up some straw to cook, and when I saw that the young master was lying on the straw, full of wine, I asked the neighbor to carry you to this bed, which is more comfortable than straw." ”
"Thank you, mother-in-law. I am a meat seller in Jiangyang City, just call me Zhou Liang. "The young master was about to get up, but he had a terrible headache, it should be that he drank too much wine last night, and he attacked his brain, he didn't want to say his identity, and he couldn't say his true identity, because he had to explain, so he simply gave his son a new identity as a meat seller, and his real name was used - Zhou Liang.
"Hey, what's there to thank, take a hand, you are the same size as my son, you are not around all the year round, when I see you, it is like seeing my son, that is distressed, Zhou Liang, don't worry, my porridge is still boiling." After saying that, he turned around and went outside the house.
The master looked at the whole hut, it was extremely simple, the rammed earth was the foundation, the wood and straw mud were smeared on the four walls, and there was light shining in everywhere, especially on Dongqiang, the morning sun shone into the simple house, which added a little shabby. There is no other decent furniture other than this bed.
A poor family, and the son is not around, the mother-in-law is too hard, the master touched the remaining silver on the body, there are still three or four taels, he hid the broken silver under the pillow, afraid that the mother-in-law does not want it, so as not to push each other around. Money is absolutely outside the body for the young master who is looking for death this time.
Less pouring, mother-in-law brought a bowl of dense rice porridge.
"This rice seedling has just been planted, and the particles are still early, and last year's surplus grain is not enough to last until the rice is harvested, so I save it. Don't be disgusted. The mother-in-law handed it to the master and said.
"Mother-in-law, where did you come from, those who ask for food never dislike food. I can't be thankful to have such a bowl of porridge to eat. The master responded.
"Zhou Liang is kind."
"Mother-in-law, your children are not around, is there anyone else to take care of you?"
"It's all up to the neighbors before and after, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to see my grandson alive."
"And your son?"
"He served at the border and returned every two years. I look forward to him coming back as soon as possible, and I can marry Xiaolan from the next village, so I can hold my grandson. The mother-in-law seems reluctant to mention this son who has not been seen for many years, but once she mentions "holding her grandson", her eyes are full of light and expectation.
"Mother-in-law is in good health?" The master was afraid that his mother-in-law would miss his son, so he changed the topic.
"The body is still strong, and I can plant two acres of land. This body doesn't dare to collapse, and he has to stay and wait for his son to come back and get married, so that he can take care of his grandson. The mother-in-law met the expectation, as if her son and grandson were all she had in life.
