Chapter 144 Antecedents and Consequences
"Back then, Uncle Sang promised his father and mother that he would never let you be discovered by the Mo family, right...... He betrayed us? Brother Sang slammed his fist on the table.
Zheng Quqi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand to prevent him from doing anything radical.
"Big brother, can you tell me, what happened to my father and mother back then, the Mo family, and Uncle Sang?"
Brother Sang looked at Zheng Quqi, his eyes were full of bloodshots, as long as he thought of what she had suffered from being brought to the Mo family all these years, he couldn't forgive himself.
It's that he's too self-righteous.
It's also that he's too incompetent.
He hoarsely told her.
Sang Yanmu, that is, Uncle Sang in their mouths, is actually friends with the Zheng couple and even friends.
He is a native of Hongsheng country, and he learned wood carving craft at the age of ten and became a craftsman.
In his thirties, with his exquisite craftsmanship, he participated in the court craftsmen of Hongshengguo, and now he is in his forties, and with a knife and a chisel, he already has a position that is respected by people in Hongshengguo.
At that time, not long after Zheng Quqi was born, due to the death of following the Zheng couple, he often did not eat and sleep well, and was weak and sickly.
Of course, friendship is friendship, and the Zheng couple still paid a heavy "reward".
At that time, Sang Yanmu did not have any achievements and reputation, but thanks to this time, his wood carving finally had a leap forward in his skills in addition to having a fiery emotional outpouring, and a delicate carving was contained in his style.
The Zheng couple were also very relieved to learn that Sang Yanmu had finally made a name for himself in Hongshengguo, and they thought that Sang Yanmu would treat Zheng Quqi well and teach her as if she were his own daughter.
After many years, the Zheng couple accidentally had a younger sister, the situation was not good at that time, not long after the child was born, he launched a high fever, and this fever burned out the brain.
Some doctors judge that the younger sister is estimated to be only a few years old, and she will not grow up.
Zheng's mother had just given birth, and she was hit hard by her sister's affairs, but she didn't survive that winter.
At that time, Zheng's father seemed to have aged several years overnight, and after the funeral for Zheng's mother, he brought Brother Sang and his younger sister to Fuxian.
Because there is a distant relative of Zheng's mother here, he asked them to issue a certificate of kinship and a guarantee of origin to be submitted to the county for review, so that they can settle down and build a house in Fu County.
After arranging for Brother Sang and them, Zheng's father went out for a few months, but when he came back, he couldn't do it.
Where he went and what he did, no matter how Big Brother Sang asked, he refused to reveal a word.
Father Zheng just confessed before he died, don't seek revenge, don't leave Fuxian, and don't have anything to do with the people of the Mo family.
To protect the younger sister, to find the second sister, to protect the Zheng family.
"After the death of my father and mother, the people of the Mo family seem to have disappeared in front of our eyes, and they have never appeared again, I know, it must be what my father did to keep me and my sister, I have never dared to think about what happened in the past over the years, because I swore to my father not to seek revenge, and not to have anything to do with the people of the Mo family."
After listening to Brother Sang talk about a series of tragic events that happened in the Zheng family, Zheng Quqi was indignant and said: "But the people of the Mo family have not disappeared, and they have no intention of letting us go. ”
The Zheng family and their sister were all directly or indirectly victimized by the Mo family, and the real "Zheng Quqi" also died at the hands of the Mo family.
"Back then, you suddenly found yourself from Sambo, no, it was Sang Yanmu, I was really happy, and I was even happy and confused, it was all my fault, I didn't know anything, I thought that you had been away from the persecution of the Mo family over the years, and lived in Hongsheng Country in peace...... But I didn't expect it...... Sang Yanmuta......"
He covered his eyes, choked up to the point of being unable to speak.
It was his fault, at that time he had been incognito in Fuxian County for many years, cautious, poor and embarrassed, and with a sick younger sister, so he obviously promised his father to find the second sister, but he didn't do it.
He thought that instead of getting his second sister back and suffering with him, it was better to stay in Hongshengguo.
"Brother, don't be sad, the world is unpredictable, how do you know that Sang Yanmu will have a problem? After all, at the beginning, even my father and mother didn't see it. ”
Sang Yanmu definitely had a problem, because according to Zheng Quqi's inference, the original body was taken away by the people of the Mo family not long after it was sent to him, and it was impossible for him not to know about it, but he never thought to tell the Zheng couple who were in constant contact with him.
She guessed that either he was afraid of the Mo family and planned to protect himself, or he was even more vicious and took the initiative to exchange his original body for benefits with the Mo family.
Brother Sang wiped a handful of tears and cheered up: "You're right, you have been pretending to be a man since you were a child, if Sang Yanmu deliberately covers up, it is impossible for anyone to easily know that you are Zheng Ermei, my father once said, don't leave Fuxian, over the years, it is impossible for the Mo family not to know that our Zheng family has settled here, but it has not been done to us, it must be what my father did." ”
"Brother, I can come back because the Mo family needs me to help them go back to the Zheng family to find something, that kind of thing used to be in the hands of my father, I think, now it should be in the hands of the eldest brother."
He jerked his eyes up at her.
Zheng Quqi continued: "After I came back, I have been making false promises with the Mo family, worried that they will directly face your opponents, I made them mistakenly think that I got the things, but I am hesitant to hand them over...... Later, they became less and less patient, and even planned to give up my pawn if they didn't get what they wanted. ”
Brother Sang was both shocked and angry: "They really ...... Still refusing to give up, he hit you with the idea. ”
Zheng Quqi told Brother Sang some of the experiences and things he encountered in the original body, she said: "I just said, the world is unpredictable, my father did choose a feng shui treasure for us to settle down, a few years ago, my father blessed the Zheng family, the Mo family did not do it, and in the future, as long as Yu Wensheng is in Fu County, his Mo family will not want to put his hand in again." ”
Speaking of which, Brother Sang finally understood why Zheng Quqi could discuss this matter calmly now, because their current situation was very different.
"Yes, Yu Wensheng...... Unexpectedly, the living Yama that everyone feared would one day become the patron saint of our Zheng family. Brother Sang was also emotional.
Zheng Quqi didn't know how to answer for a while.
He is not only the patron saint of the Zheng family, he is also the son-in-law of the Zheng family, your sister-in-law, I don't know if you know this one day, will you be "shocked" and pouted?
"Big brother, so you can tell me now, what exactly is that thing? Why did the Mo family have to get that kind of thing? ”
"You don't have to worry about it......"
"But if I don't know anything all the time, if I am caught by the Mo family in the future, then there will really be no hole cards to save my life." She deliberately scared him.
Her words really made Brother Sang break his defense.
He said sharply: "You remember, if someone asks you for the Eight Desolations of Kyushu, ask him to come to me, and only I know where it is in this world." ”
When Zheng Quchi heard this, he grasped the key point, and his eyes lit up: "Kyushu Eight Desolation Map? This name is not simple when it sounds, it is really in the hands of the big brother now? But our house has been burned, where did you hide your things? ”
Brother Sang saw her leaning his head over and kept asking questions, like a curious child.
He didn't know for a moment whether to feel sorry for her, or to laugh at her appearance.
He said: "This is the generation from our Zheng family ancestors to our fathers, and we have been working hard for a hundred years, which is to complete a picture of the eight wildernesses of Kyushu." ”
Kyushu, also known as Middle Earth and Han China, encompasses the Seven Kingdoms in its area, which is not just a vast expanse that can be described.
Zheng Quqi was surprised: "That's it, it's done?"
Brother Sang shook his head: "Not yet, there are still some areas of Ye Country left." ”
It's also remarkable.
Zheng Quqi took a deep breath.
In the absence of high-speed transportation and sophisticated surveying and mapping instruments, how difficult it would be to rely on manpower to condense the three-dimensional situation of mountains and rivers in front of you on a two-dimensional piece of paper or a piece of cloth?
unimaginable.
"The ancestors of the Zheng family."
Mentioning this, the regret in Brother Sang's heart was revealed in his eyes, and he said: "My lifelong wish is to complete it for my father and grandparents, but it's a pity...... I can't do without Fuxian, and I don't have to fight for this leg. ”
When Zheng Quqi heard this, she also felt a burst of discomfort, both for herself and for the regret and sadness left behind by this body.
Speaking of which, how Brother Sang's leg was lame, she has always asked, firstly, for fear of involving his sadness, and secondly, if she asked, she had no money to completely cure it, which only increased her troubles.
"Big brother, you can't leave Fuxian for the time being, just ask me to go for you, one day, I will let you come and go freely, not afraid to move forward." Zheng Quqi said sincerely.
Brother Sang avoided her bright and clear eyes: "When you first came back, Big Brother always felt that you had a gloomy temperament, didn't like to talk, and lived alone, no matter if you were bullied or wronged, you always kept things in your heart, and Big Brother never understood your suffering...... Now you are different from you before, you are a capable person who can withstand big things, but the eldest brother is useless and incompetent, and will only drag you down......"
Seeing that he blamed himself so much because of the matter of his original body, Zheng Quqi took his hand and shook it: "Big brother, do you know what I am thinking about when I am outside, if I encounter something and feel uncomfortable?" ”
Brother Sang didn't hold back and looked at her.
But I saw her smiling, very warmly smiling.
"I'm thinking, I still have a home, no matter what, I can't give up on myself, because I know that there are still people waiting for me at home, so no matter how much time it takes and how much effort it takes, I have to go back."
Tears welled up in Brother Sang's eyes, and he hurriedly turned his face.
Zheng Quqi didn't rush forward to appease, just waited for him to calm down a little.
After a long time, Brother Sang also figured it out, and he said hoarsely: "Well, as long as there is a big brother, this family will always be there, don't worry, you will never be without a home." ”
After hearing this, Zheng Quqi's eyes were also pantothenic, she sniffed and blinked back her tears.
"Okay, I remember this, our brothers and sisters will work together in the future to carry forward our Zheng family and become the largest family in Ye Kingdom." She deliberately exaggerated.
Brother Sang knew that she wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he followed her words and said: "Before carrying it forward, you should first strengthen our Zheng family, or just a few people, how can it become a big family?" ”
Zheng Quqi: "...... Brother, are you thinking about spring? Don't worry, there are still many good women in the county, when the time comes, you can marry one, hold the two for three years, and strengthen the family for us. ”
"Nonsense, just a cripple like me, who will marry me?" Brother Sang tamed her with a straight face.
Every time he mentioned this topic, he looked like he resisted, Zheng Quqi knew that it was not that he didn't want to get married and organize a warm family, but that he was worried that he would delay other people's girls, and he was also troubled by his self-esteem, and he didn't want others to sympathize with him.
Zheng Quqi retorted to him eloquently: "Some people have intact limbs, but they are full of shortcomings, but big brother, you have some inconveniences in your legs and feet, but everything is an advantage, you don't always be arrogant, and don't despise yourself, you must always believe that there will always be such a person who will love the most real side behind your inadequacy." ”
How beautiful these words were, Brother Sang was a little stunned after hearing it.
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I never dared to ask for extravagance, there would be such a person in the world who appeared for me......"
——
From the capital of Ye all the way to the west, a white horse riding a meteor, galloping on the field, the horse woman is in the bottom of the figure, and the horse is almost one, she is covered with a red scarf on her head, revealing a pair of rippling beautiful eyes.
It can be seen through her thick eyebrows, big eyes, and high nose bridge that this is a top-notch beauty with a strong face.
And the character is sassy and resolute.
"Drive! Drive! ”
She wore a red dress across the loess land, leaving a gorgeous landscape.
——
Zheng Quqi, who didn't sleep all night and had swollen eyelids the next day, saw Runtu who was energetic and waiting at the door as soon as he opened the door.
He must have waited for some time, but instead of knocking on the door, he waited patiently outside.
"Early." She subconsciously said hello.
Runtu was stunned for a moment, but skipped this greeting, lowered his eyebrows, and asked, "Madam, are you going to ride a carriage or a horse today?" ”
“…… Let's take a horse-drawn carriage. ”
Halfway through, Zheng Quqi asked, "Runqi Governor, can I ask you something?" ”
"Madame, excuse me."
"Your general, as well as the Wei Guard Officer and Adjutant Wang, are they not in the camp?"
Since Yu Wensheng sent him to pick her up every day, at least it showed that he was trustworthy, and she asked directly if there was anything.
"Yes."
Aren't you going to say more?
He didn't say anything, so she continued to ask, "What are they going to do?" ”
"Yes."
Well, she could already hear him start to endure.
Does this mean that she shouldn't ask about Yu Wensheng's whereabouts, or does she think that she doesn't need to know too much as a woman?
