Chapter 21: Reunion

"Zhao Shan fainted!"

"Come on, Zhao Shan can't do it......"

In the excavation of the river, three men shouted loudly, and a young man with purple lips and a sallow face lay on the ground beside him.

"What howl? No more work! ”

The overseer walked over with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face.

"Master Wu, just now Zhao Shan moved the stones, and suddenly lay on the ground." The bald slave replied.

"I saw that his face was wrong this morning, and I asked him how he was, and he said it was okay, but I didn't expect something to happen." Another hard worker said.

The overseer raised his chin and motioned for the bald head to come forward and check, "Is there any breath to touch?" ”

"Angry ......"

The bald servant probed Zhao Shan's snort, and originally wanted to touch his forehead again, but he saw many blisters on Zhao Shan's face, several of which were suppurated, and he was so frightened that he retracted his hand.

"Wu Tou, Zhao Shan's face is rotten."

"It's so unlucky!"

The overseer took a few steps back in disgust and called an officer, "Go and call the servant." ”

The messenger was ordered to leave, and when the overseer saw that several of the slaves were still standing, he reprimanded, "What are you doing in a daze? Will you see a doctor? ”

The laborers looked at each other and turned to work.

After a short time, the messenger led the servants over.

asked about the situation, squatted down and took Zhao Shan's pulse.

The slaves and prisoners whispered, and from time to time they looked this way.

The overseer came over and deliberately asked loudly, "How is it, is there any help?" ”

He sighed, "I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"This ...... Yesterday was fine. ”

"The cold evil enters the body and the accumulation of work becomes a disease, so that the foundation is greatly damaged, I am afraid that ...... Let the family pick it up. ”

……

Deuteronomy, before sunset.

Zhao Shan almost didn't recognize his younger brother when he saw him at the gate of the camp.

Zhao Lin not only grew taller, but also became stronger, his expression was calm, and his body was full of energy.

"Brother, why haven't you seen you for a month, you seem to be a different person?"

Although Zhao Lin knew that his brother could not know that he had crossed over, he still "chuckled" in his heart, and said in his heart that he had really changed someone, but you didn't find out.

"Have I changed?"

He touched his cheek and smiled, "Why do I think my brother has changed." ”

"If you don't do that, you won't be able to get out."

Zhao Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "They gave me a kind of medicine, and when I ate half of it and wiped it half, I became this ghost." ”

Mentioning this, Zhao Shan said the question that had been held in his heart for a day: "Brother, how much money did it take to get me out?" ”

Zhao Lin said vaguely: "I don't have much money, I met a nobleman." ”

He decided not to say anything for the time being, Qian Sanming had already said hello and would not reveal it to others.

I can't tell where the money came from, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"Not much?"

Zhao Shan looked suspicious, suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked, "You won't borrow usury, right?" I'll tell you......"

Zhao Lin hurriedly interrupted: "Don't worry, brother, absolutely not." ”

"Then you sold our farm?"

"Our few acres of thin land can be sold for a few dollars, and no one buys them now."

Zhao Shan observed his words and looks, and saw that Zhao Lin didn't look like he had something on his mind, so he relaxed a little and asked about his parents' recent situation.

The two talked and laughed, and walked not far from the village, Zhao Lin said to his brother: "Brother, you get in the car and lie down, don't let outsiders see that you can walk." ”

When Zhao Lin came to pick up his brother, he borrowed a flatbed truck from the village elder.

"Okay."

Zhao Shan understood the stakes, and obediently got into the car and lay down.

"Hey, is it Zhao Shan in the car?"

"Tut-tut, why did your brother become like this?"

Zhao Lin pushed the flatbed truck past the village, and the villagers all gathered around.

"My brother was seriously ill from hard labor, and the county released people back, saying that they would see the last ......"

Zhao Lin squeezed out two tears and said in a choked voice.

Zhao Shan in the car had blank eyes, his mouth opened, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"It's miserable, a sturdy guy from last month."

"Alas, who said it wasn'......"

Zhao Lin lowered his head to push the cart, walked to no one's place, and secretly gave a thumbs up, "Brother, you pretend to be really like." ”

"Brother, you're not bad......" Zhao Shan squeezed his eyes.

After entering the house, the old couple ran out when they heard the voice, hugged Zhao Shan and cried.

Although Zhao's father and Zhao's mother knew that their son was pretending to be sick, they couldn't help crying bitterly when they thought of the crime he suffered.

Zhao Lin deliberately stood at the door for a while, waiting for his parents to cry enough before closing the courtyard door.

After entering the house, the family cleaned up their mood and had a smile on their faces.

When dinner was ready, Zhao Shan looked at the food on the table, swallowed his saliva, and at the same time his head was a little confused, "When will our family eat meat?" ”

After absorbing Xiong Zhen's spirit, Zhao Lin's appetite was even greater, and he almost couldn't do without meat, plus Zhao Shan went home today, and the meal was quite hearty.

"Your brother didn't tell you, did he? He found a job in the county seat......"

Father Zhao was happy in his heart and told Zhao Lin about the things of these days.

Zhao Lin didn't tell his family about his resignation, let alone go into the mountains to hunt, in case he ran into the eyeliner of his beard, he knew that he deliberately concealed it and didn't know it at all, and he was sure that the latter was safer.

After Zhao Shan heard what Zhao's father said, he knew that he had been away for a month, and it was his younger brother who supported the family, his eyes were red, and he grabbed Zhao Lin's shoulder and pinched it hard.

"Brother, I'm afraid your illness will have to be pretended for a while."

Zhao Lin said and glanced out the door.

Zhao Shan nodded repeatedly, "I know." ”

……

In the next few days, Zhao Lin went out early and returned late every day, and on the surface, he told his family that he was going to the city to work, but in fact, he went to Zhou Paotou's house in Baiqiao Village to wait for news.

"Morning!"

Zhao Lin pushed open the gate, and Liang Song was practicing boxing in the courtyard, so he said hello.

Liang Song originally lived in his cousin's house, but Widow Wang learned that Zhu Dachun was injured and took care of him every day and night.

He thought he was an eyesore, so he moved over for a few days when Zhou Paotou was out.

Zhao Lin moved for a while, and when his body was hot, he practiced flying axes in the yard.

He originally wanted to learn archery, but the last time he went into the mountains, he used a throwing axe, which had a surprising effect.

The first time he hit Xiong Zhen in the nose with a throwing axe, and the second time he pierced the chest of the black-faced beard, he couldn't help but change his mind.

If you have the strength to use your own strength, you can't fully use your strengths with a bow and arrow, but you can use an axe.

As long as the accuracy is not bad, the destructive power of the throwing axe is really amazing, and he remembers that the Vikings used the throwing axe to fight, and could easily break through the armor, and even smashed the enemy's shield to pieces.

After practicing the flying axe for a while, Zhao Lin asked Liang Song for boxing techniques again.

Liang Song has been thinking about finding a beard for revenge all these years, although he has no money to worship a famous teacher, but he has also learned two sets of boxing techniques, which is much stronger than Zhao Lin, a layman.

Zhao Lin felt that before formally practicing martial arts, it was good to practice some basic skills first, so he humbly asked him for advice.

Liang Song didn't hide it either, and taught him a set of the most basic five-step boxing.

This set of boxing methods is not used to hit people, but to practice common footwork such as lunges, horse steps, flash steps, and jump steps, as well as basic moves such as punching, hooking, picking palms, and splitting palms.

The next step in laying a solid foundation is to learn offensive and defensive routines.

"After the money is in hand, where are you going to learn martial arts?"

During the interval between martial arts training, Liang Song asked Zhao Lin a question.

Zhao Lin mentioned to Liang Song that he was also going to learn martial arts, so he asked.

"When I was working as a husband, I delivered goods to several sect martial arts halls, but unfortunately I didn't have time to understand it in depth."

Zhao Lin recalled for a while and asked, "Do you know which one is good?" ”

Liang Song shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't know, I only know the way, talent, and money, and the three must be the same, and they may not be able to get in......"

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a "squeak", the courtyard door was pushed open, and Zhou Paotou walked in.
