Chapter 199: Inquiry
Lu Fusheng touched his empty stomach and felt extremely difficult.
Now that they have escaped joining the army, they can no longer find food, but if it is really as his mother said, their family will starve to death.
His stomach was now covered in grass roots and bark, and he hadn't eaten a grain of rice for an unknown amount of time.
He clutched his stomach and thought for a while and said, "Mother, let's go, let's go find the third cousin!" ”
Liao hit him in the back with a fist and cried, "You wronged! I also looked for the third cousin, and they all said that it was the master of the official family, not the poor three who could be the three, do you have to put the lives of our family at risk? ”
Lu Fusheng jumped out of the way and said: "Mother, don't hit me, you listen to me, I think it's really a third cousin." Let's go and see, if it is, we won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. If not, there is nothing to lose, is it? ”
"There's no loss yet, just you're fooling around, and now you can't be a good soldier, how can my mother lose?"
Liao cried and howled, but in the end, he was persuaded by Lu Fusheng to go into the city to find Lu Shiyan.
It's just that when they go into the city, where to find it, how to find it, but a few people can't find the direction at all.
Wang Shuncai secretly followed aside to observe a few people, and only walked over when a few people were sleepy and couldn't do so.
He took out a cake, shook it in front of Lu Fusheng, and said, "Little brother, are you really Lord Lu's cousin?" ”
Seeing the cake in Wang Shuncai's hand, Lu Fusheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he swallowed his saliva and said: "Yes, yes, we grew up in the same village since we were children." My third cousin was a man of great fortune when he was young, and when he was only twelve years old, he went into the mountains alone and killed a wild boar. ”
In order to make Wang Shuncai believe that he was really Lu Shiyan's cousin, Lu Fusheng talked about Lu Shiyan's childhood and deliberately exaggerated it a little.
After finishing speaking, he began to brag that the relationship between the two was particularly good.
His eyes were glued to the bread in Wang Shuncai's hand, and he said with a flattering face: "Big brother, what are you looking for my cousin?" Don't worry, my cousin is close to me, as long as I open my mouth, he has no refusal. ”
Wang Shuncai smiled and handed over the cake, "I don't have anything to ask Lord Lu for help, I just worship Lord Lu in my heart, I heard that you are his cousin, and I think you must be as good as Lord Lu, and I just want to make friends with you." ”
Lu Fusheng took the cake and took a big bite, and replied vaguely: "Big brother really has a vision." ”
Liao Shi saw that his eldest son was about to eat up the cake in three or two bites, and he was anxious, and secretly scolded this evil obstacle, he didn't know how to honor his mother first and love his younger brother, so he took care of his own mouth, which was really wronged.
After scolding his stupid son in his heart, he began to scold Wang Shuncai for being stingy, since he was friendly with them, why did he give a cake, didn't you see that there were several people here?
Liao scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to come forward to Wang Shuncai, and he wouldn't hide what he thought in his heart.
That mean face vividly showed the resentment and greed in her heart.
But Wang Shuncai pretended not to see the dissatisfaction in her eyes, and only accosted Lu Fusheng.
Of course, he could get more loaves of bread, and he didn't care about losing a few more loaves of bread. However, he understands human nature and knows that satisfying their greed at this time does not do him much good to complete the task.
To deal with this kind of person, we must hang a carrot in front of us like a donkey who pulls a mill, step by step.
After eating a cake, Lu Fusheng looked at Wang Shuncai like his own father, "Big brother, you also fled here?" ”
Wang Shuncai planned to disguise himself as a refugee to join the army this time, and suddenly received an order from the leader to keep an eye on Lu Fusheng's line.
He was still wearing the same shabby clothes. After Lu Fusheng ate the cake, Peanut Rice's brain also moved.
He looked Wang Shuncai back and forth, and muttered, "Your family's conditions look good!" Why are you going to join the army? ”
Although Wang Shuncai was dressed in tatters, he had never lacked food and drink when he served in the health center before, so he was in a sturdy body, completely different from a hungry refugee.
Before pretending to be a refugee, Wang Shuncai thought about this problem, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he said angrily: "My surname is Wang, although my family is not rich and rich, but I live a comfortable life.
But just because the Xijon thieves came in, killed my father and mother, and robbed my family property, I became a refugee, and I went to join the army to seek revenge on the Xijon thieves! ”
Lu Fusheng suddenly looked ashamed, and hurriedly apologized: "It's the younger brother who is wrong, and he mentioned the sadness of the eldest brother." That Sijon thief is a damned ......"
When he scolded the Xirong people, Wang Shuncai slowly recovered as before, he said that he didn't care about Lu Fusheng's offense, and asked casually: "Aren't you and Lord Lu from the same village?" Why didn't they flee here? ”
Lu Fusheng said with a bitter face: "Originally, we came out to escape together, but when we met robbers on the road, we were separated from the villagers. ”
Wang Shuncai seemed to have caught something, and asked, "Your entire village fled together?" ”
Lu Fusheng didn't mention the road at all, they disliked the people in the village and deliberately threw away the things of the villagers.
He pretended to be sad and said: "Yes, there were originally more than 100 families in our village, and everyone traveled together, but where did you think that we were separated halfway, and now we are left alone." I don't know what happened to the villagers. ”
"I came to Puzhou a few days before you, and I have heard a lot of deeds of Lord Lu. No one had seen the villagers. ”
Lu Fusheng was apprehensive.
He could see that although the man in front of him was also dressed in tatters, he was obviously richer than them.
He has to think that he is really the cousin of that Lord Lu, and he really has to be valued by that Lord Lu, and that Lord Lu will definitely not ignore him, so that he can continue to take something from him to eat.
He said, "Then maybe they're separated too." My cousin is very good, if he hadn't been separated, if he hadn't been separated, he wouldn't have left them alone for life or death. ”
He swallowed a mouthful of water anxiously and said, "Maybe my cousin has settled them." ”
Wang Shuncai said with a smile: "Lord Lu is a good official with a benevolent heart at first glance, it must be so." Tell me about your cousin's house. ”
Seeing that Wang Shuncai was not suspicious, Lu Fusheng quietly touched a cold sweat and carefully talked about Lu Shiyan's previous affairs in Dawan Village.
Wang Shuncai listened to him for a while, and then said regretfully: "You mean that your cousin's son is a mute?" That's a pity! ”
Lu Fusheng didn't feel a pity, when he was in the village before, because Lu Shiyan was a little fool, he was a lot of fun in the back.
But at this time, seeing Wang Shuncai's look of pity, he also followed: "No, my mother often says that the third cousin is a talent, and the third cousin-in-law is also born well, how can it be stupid to have a child?" ”
