Chapter 31: The Gates of the City Are Opened
"If Brother Ma is interested, I can also teach you." Chu Zheng looked at Ma Yong and said slowly.
After a day of contact, he has discovered that these Mayon couples are very real and worthy of fellowship.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and it is also good to have one more person to help you.
Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Ma Yong showed an embarrassed look and said, "I can't do it, I'm stupid, I can't learn it at all." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at his son and hesitated: "Brother Chu, can you teach Xiang'er?" ”
When he said this, there was some brilliance in his eyes, and I don't know if it was caused by the light of the bonfire.
"Teach your son?" Chu Zheng was slightly stunned, and then looked at the little boy who was sleeping next to his mother.
Then he looked to the side, looking at himself and the little girl who was Ma Yong.
Obviously, Ma Yong did not intend for his daughter to learn to read and write from him.
In a way, this is patriarchal.
But Chu Zheng had no way to say anything about Ma Yong in his heart.
Patriarchy would certainly be wrong if it were placed in the modern age of the earth.
But no matter when, we have to look at it in combination with the times, and now the world is still in the feudal dynasty period, and the overall atmosphere is patriarchal.
It is simply unrealistic for you to ask a peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky and having such an advanced idea as equality between men and women.
"Yes." Chu Zheng nodded, and then said, "After we enter Qamdo, let Niu'er also come to learn." ”
When Ma Yong heard this, he was stunned, "Can Niu'er also learn?" ”
Then he nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Then thank you Brother Chu, if you have anything in the future, just tell me." ”
Chu Zheng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Ma Yong to hear that he was teaching the other party's daughter to learn words, but he became happy.
I wanted to persuade him, but I swallowed it in my stomach.
Chu Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's serious." ”
After saying that, he continued to look at the exercises in his hands.
Although there are many Buddhist terms for this exercise, for Chu Zheng, it is a little difficult to read, but it can also be overcome.
This is not that Chu Zheng had studied Buddhism in his previous life, but that this exercise should be the original left by the three flower thieves.
On it, there are dense notes.
A lot of obscure things are written very clearly.
Even some meridians and acupuncture points are drawn in some blank places.
It's almost a hands-on lesson.
Obviously, the three flower thieves didn't know how much hard work they had put in to learn this exercise.
"Rumble ......"
The thunder outside was a little louder, and the thunder and lightning flashed in the air, turning into a net of thunder and enveloping the earth.
Nothing was said all night.
On the second day, when the storm stopped, and when Chu was opening the shed, the sun had already risen outside.
When the sun shines on people, it brings people a long-lost warmth, as if they are in another world.
"Brother Chu, do we still want someone to stay here and guard?" Ma Yong followed Chu Zheng out and asked.
Now there is still firewood here, and if someone steals it, it will not be good.
"No need." Chu Zheng shook his head.
According to the words of the hundred households with the jade, Qamdo will open the door today and let the refugees in.
So, it's useless to stay here.
Ma Yong saw Chu Zheng saying this, although he didn't know why, he still didn't say anything.
After some recent events, the young man had built up a certain trust in his heart.
The maturity and stability shown by the other party made him unable to treat the other party as a real teenager.
And if it weren't for the other party, his family would probably die in that cold wave.
Then, Chu Zheng and the others packed up their things and headed towards Qamdo.
Along the way, there were also many refugees who traveled with them towards Chamdo.
The situation of these refugees is not very good, after a day of sleet and a day of torrential rain, most of those who can survive now have only half a life left.
After arriving in Qamdo, Chu Zheng saw that the city gate of Qamdo was indeed opened.
There are also some people who are coming in and out.
When the displaced people saw the situation, they were very excited, and they ran wildly in the direction of Qamdo, even if they were covered with muddy water, they didn't care at all.
Seeing this, Ma Yong's lips twitched, and he said in a trembling voice: "There is salvation, we are saved." ”
He knew very well that if Qamdo City was not released, it would be difficult for them to survive even if they prepared some more wood. Now that the gates of Qamdo are open, they are really saved!
Chu Zheng watched all this silently, and there was no turmoil in his heart.
The opening of the city gate of Qamdo Mansion is not because some people are kind, but because people have died enough to meet the standard of opening the door.
Then, Chu Zheng and the others followed the flow of people and walked towards Qamdo.
When he arrived near the city gate, Chu Zheng saw a notice posted on the city gate.
The notice was very short, and it only said two messages.
One is that the thief army was exterminated by the official army yesterday, and the Qamdo government opened its doors to allow refugees to enter.
The other is that in the past month, Qamdo will give porridge at the city gate for disaster relief.
"Has the thief army been wiped out?" Chu was thinking about the team of people with jade that he met the day before yesterday.
Perhaps the extermination of these thieves has something to do with the person who was captured.
"Brother Chu, it's our turn." At this moment, Ma Yong on the side reminded Chu Zheng.
"Hmm." Chu Zheng came back to his senses and didn't think about this anymore.
What do these things have to do with him?
"Name, place of origin?" When he entered the city gate, a middle-aged official was taking a roll of records.
"Ma Yong, this is my wife and young, both of whom are from Shanglong Village." Ma Yong hurriedly said.
The little official nodded and recorded the names of several people.
Then, he looked at Chu Zheng and Chu Qingqing and asked, "What about you?" ”
"Chu Zheng, from Qingchuan, this is my sister, Chu Qingqing." Chu Zheng pointed to himself and said to Chu Qingqing next to him.
Yu Rong and Ma Yong, who were on the side, were not surprised at all.
After getting along with Chu Zheng's sister and brother for two days, if they can't see that Chu Qingqing is a woman, then their eyes are no different from being blind.
When the little official heard this, he glanced at Chu Qingqing next to him, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go over." ”
Chu Zheng nodded and prepared to go over.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, the little official frowned and suddenly stopped Chu Zheng.
"Open this package." He pointed to the piece of iron wrapped in the long cloth strip in Chu Zheng's hand, and said in a deep voice.
When the surrounding soldiers heard the words of the little official, they gathered one after another, and looked at Chu Zheng coldly, their palms already holding on the hilt of the sword.
The city gate was instantly quiet, and the atmosphere in the field was a little stagnant for a while.
