Chapter Thirty-Nine: Passing By

Leaving the Wang family, Jiang Qi sullenly beat his horse and walked towards the city gate.

Think about it, although I thought I was in my hometown, I didn't feel like I was going back at the moment. In this world, except for his mother and sister, he may no longer have a place to be nostalgic.

Running out of the city, Jiang Qi saw that there was no place to go, so he had to go to meet his master. However, it seemed that the heavens were playing tricks on their master and apprentice today, Jiang Qi had just reached the halfway point, and he met the old man who did not have a very good face.

Afraid that Lao Dao would see his sadness, Jiang Qi hurriedly put away his expression and asked first: "I said Lao Dao, didn't you go to meet each other?" Why did you come back so soon, is it that people don't want you anymore. ”

Although Jiang Qi looked heartless, how could he escape Zuo Ci's eyes, Zuo Ci, who guessed what happened to his apprentice, also smiled and quipped: "Heh, it seems that our master and apprentice are really sympathetic!" You don't feel any better there, do you? ”。

Jiang Qi didn't have to hide it when he saw through the master, and the two masters and apprentices looked at each other and smiled. Then Jiang Qi roughly told the master what happened to him, and at the same time asked, "What should we do now?" ”

"What else, now your master has no place to stay!" Zuo Ci smiled and said what happened.

It turned out that when he arrived at the Xuyun Temple, he learned that the Qingyun Dao chief had traveled abroad, and the current steward didn't know him, so he politely refused to stay overnight on the pretext that the Taoist temple was not prosperous.

Originally, Zuo Ci also wanted to find a random place to settle down and go to the apprentice tomorrow, but he didn't expect to meet too many apprentices halfway.

"Lao Dao gave you a hexagram earlier, saying that you traveled far away when you were young, and you didn't have any parental relationship. It looks like it's still a few days before you go home, and since your mother isn't here, why don't we get on the road early! There's nothing to do if you stay here, and if you leave now, you can get to the next county seat after dark. ”

Jiang Qi lowered his head and thought for a while and replied: "Well、、、、 that's the only way, Lao Dao, you should set off first!" Yu Yang still has some small things to do, but chasing the clouds is fast, and he will be able to catch up soon."

"Well, that's good, remember to be waiting for you in front of the teacher." Zuo Ci nodded in agreement, then turned the horse's head and set off on the horse, and when he left, he didn't forget to say to Jiang Qi, 'Don't make trouble'

However, Zuo Ci didn't remind Jiang Qi that he was not in the mood to cause trouble now, so he turned around and caught up after half an hour, and the two walked side by side and laughed from time to time, and soon forgot the unhappiness in the morning.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Three days later, outside Handan City, Jiang Qi's master and apprentice went to the porridge shop that day. At this moment, the shopkeeper on the counter was smiling at the young woman who had just come in and greeted a beautiful little girl.

"Madame, Miss, you're back!"

It's a young woman, if Jiang Qi is here, he must know it. This is the mother he misses every day.

Jiang Fang walked to the counter with a smile and briefly looked at the income and expenditure of the past few days: "Yes! Shopkeeper Zhao, the store is okay these days when he is not there."

"Madame, rest assured, the family has been fine these days, and everything is as usual. According to Mrs. Order, the daily profits were exchanged for gruel to help the refugees. Shopkeeper Zhao briefly recounted.

Jiang Fang bowed his head, then waved his hand and said to the few guys around: "Oh, then that's it, everyone go and get busy!" As soon as he put down the account book, he saw his daughter playing with this beside him, and quickly asked, "What are you doing!" ”

Facing his mother's question, Jiang Lin, who was playing with a rattan ball, said without looking back: "Mother, you look at who put things here, there are so many fun things!" ”

"Alas, didn't my mother say 、、、、 don't mess with other people's things?" Hearing her daughter say this, Jiang Fang immediately taught her a hard lesson.

In the face of Jiang Fang's reprimand, the shopkeeper Zhao next to him hurriedly helped explain: "Oh, Madam just forgot to tell you, this is left by a small Taoist chief a few days ago, he said that it is useless to keep it, see that we give porridge and food to the refugees every day here, so he gave it to us, and he will sell it if he can sell it." The chief said that these things were collected all the way from Jiangdong, and the villain looked at the things very exquisitely and kept them, wanting to see if the young lady liked them."

Jiang Fang picked up a small drum and looked at it, then relieved, and at the same time said with satisfaction and chin head: "I see, since people have good intentions, how about we stay privately." It's better to find a place to put it on, and keep the money from the sale for good food! ”

Hearing that his mother was going to sell the playthings in front of him, Jiang Lin was immediately reluctant, and immediately said with a bitter face: "However, my mother likes these poor children so much, you can't keep some."

"You can't be like this, you're already a big child, you can't be willful. You see that there are refugees everywhere out there now, and how many children don't even have food to eat. Alas, I don't know if your brother has anything to eat now. Thinking of her son, Jiang Fang's eyes moistened again.

Seeing that his mother said so, Jiang Lin didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly put down the plaything: "Okay, okay, mother, don't say it again", after admitting his mistake, Jiang Lin also remembered the brother in his mother's mouth, lowered his head and said carefully: "Mother, didn't you say that my brother will come back soon?" But it's been going for years."

Looking at his wife and young lady, the mood is not very good. Shopkeeper Zhao didn't dare to talk anymore, until he suddenly remembered what happened two days ago, hoping to please his wife, so he tentatively interrupted: "Oh, by the way, madam, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, it is about the 、、、 of the Wang family."

"Wang family, hum, what's wrong? The man took a concubine again? Jiang Fang asked indifferently.

"No, this time it was the Wang family who was sought revenge, I heard that the person was taught a lesson, and he almost smashed the door of his house." Shopkeeper Zhao said with a gloating expression.

"Oh、、、、 who is so bold, how can you say that the Wang family is also a family in this area, who dares to provoke. What happened to the troublemakers? As soon as she heard this, Jiang Mu was also interested, and immediately asked.

As soon as he heard that his wife was interested in the shopkeeper Zhao, he opened his mouth and said: "Hehe, yes、、、、 although the Wang family has always been rampant, but this time they really met an opponent." I heard that the Wang family nursing home lost dozens of people at that time, but does the lady know how many people there are on the other side? Just one, I heard that he was still a teenager, that young man can be described as heroic and invincible, there is no enemy under him, and those guards are not even injured by his fur", as the shopkeeper Zhao said in a colorful voice, as if he saw it with his own eyes.

"Is that an exaggeration? Uncle Zhao is also a heroic young man. Do you think there are so many people in this world who are like my brother, born with extraordinary talents, and can fight ten by one person! Listening to the incomprehensible words, Jiang Lin'er pursed her lips disdainfully and said.

Jiang Fang, who was listening on the side, heard her daughter's words, and a nerve in her brain was stirred and hurriedly asked, "How old is that young man?" ”

Jiang Fang's sudden question immediately made Zhao's shopkeeper stunned, and finally he couldn't answer and had to answer vaguely: "It's not very clear about the small thing, in fact, the thing I just told was said by the little third son who went out to buy and saw it, I heard that it seems to be a teenager!" Why don't you call the third son over and ask? ”

"Well, it's okay, you go and call it, by the way, see if Ada has parked the car, let him come over!" Jiang Mu nodded in agreement, and at the same time told him to call Jiang Da, the housekeeper who put the carriage.

Hearing her mother's words on the side, Jiang Lin'er, who was also in spirit, guessed her mother's thoughts at the same time, and immediately asked, "Mother, you said that the young man is really an elder brother?" ”

"Mother doesn't know, I hope so!" Jiang Fang touched her daughter's head and said comfortingly.

Soon shopkeeper Zhao came over from the backyard with a man in his twenties, along with the housekeeper Jiang Da.

"Madame's third son is here," Zhao shopkeeper saluted, and said to his buddy Sanzi: "Sanzi, tell Madame what you saw that day." ”

Jiang Fang nodded and motioned for the third son to speak, Jiang Fang, who is usually approachable, has no shelf, and the men under him are not so restrained, as Jiang Fang nodded, and then the third son began to tell the situation he saw that day: "Madam, it was like this that day、、、、、."

Listening to what the third son told about that day, Jiang's mother felt that the person was her son, and immediately asked: "By the way, is there a white-haired and white-bearded old man who walks with him?"

Without waiting for the third son to answer, Jiang Fang's words happened to be heard by a guy who came to the counter to get wine, only to see the guy smile and say, "Madame is asking the white-haired and bearded old way?" That day, one of them came to the store, and there was a handsome little Taoist priest who was seven feet tall and handsome, and the young man had a particularly beautiful white horse, and the villain had never seen such a beautiful horse, and his whole body was snow-white without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and his mane was particularly long. Even the Xiliang war horses of the county lieutenant generals are not so beautiful, oh, by the way! That little talk looks a little similar to Miss, but his eyes are a little weird、、、、、"

"Heβ€”Does he have a pair of eyes?" Jiang Fang was immediately excited by the guy's words, and before he could finish speaking, she asked first, and she was even more excited, and stepped forward to grab the guy's arms.

Faced with the behavior of the lady, who had always been quiet and graceful, the guy was a little uncomfortable, and replied a little shyly: "The husband and the lady have seen that little way, and he does have eyes in his eyes, which is particularly scary、、、

"That's right, that's right, it's Qi'er back, Qi'er is not dead, Qi'er is really not dead, hurry, hurry, hurry、、、、、 Ada, go, go to Wang's house to inquire about the situation." After getting an accurate answer, Jiang Fang was already a little incoherent at first, crying and laughing excitedly.

"Haha、、、、、 don't worry, Mrs., the villain will go." Hearing that the young master was back, Jiang Da was also excited, and at the same time, he got a little carried away and ran out laughing, and soon there was a distant sound of horses' hooves outside.

In the same mood as his mother, Jiang Lin also clapped his hands and jumped at this moment: "Okay, great, my brother is back, my brother is back, my mother and brother are finally back, and no one will bully Li'er in the future." ”

Although Shopkeeper Zhao didn't know who Mrs. was talking about, it should be the young master who traveled in the early years that his wife said, and in the process of listening, Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but feel that the strange trail that came that day was probably the same person as the young master, and then reminded: "Madam、、、、 the trail that sent these things that day was also riding a white horse, is he and the young master the same person!" ”。

This shopkeeper Zhao's words were undoubtedly a basin of cold water that splashed Jiang Fang from head to toe. At the same time, she also calmed down, and Jiang Fang also thought of this possibility in her calmness, so she could only pray in her heart that her son was still in Handan.

As expected, Jiang Da, who quickly went out to inquire about the news, confirmed the news.

"Madam, madam, it's the young master, it's the young master、、、 madam, I inquired clearly that it was the young master, that day the young master came back to find the lady, but he met that gentleman Wang Bin, hehe, that kid was also unlucky, relying on the guards and wanted to teach the young master a lesson, but he was repaired by the young master. Even his handsome father was taught a lesson by the young master, but then he didn't know where he went、、、、、"

Hearing that her son was gone, Jiang Fang was puzzled and said to herself, "Where will Ananda go?" ”

"This is uncertain, the old way travels around, and he knows when he will come back. However, Madame can at least rest assured that the young master has recovered, and his martial arts have improved a lot, and with the young master's temperament, he will definitely come back soon. It's not easy to go to the original Taoist temple to see if the old Dao Zuo is staying in that Taoist temple、、、" Jiang Da also said a little nervously beside him.

"Okay, Ada, you ride a horse and go and have a look, if it's really there, it's fine, it's all because I didn't tell him about the mother's change of place, and it's no wonder that Qi'er can't find it and go home." Mother Jiang said with some self-reproach, "If you are not there, then you have to find another way、、、、、、

"Mother, isn't it true that you can't see your brother now?" Jiang Lin on the side also fell from joy, and then asked with a somewhat sullen and sad face.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Jiang Fang hurriedly picked up a doll just now and comforted: "Don't be like this, don't you see that Shopkeeper Zhao said it?" These gifts were brought back to you by your brother along the way. Maybe he will wait in the Taoist temple and come back with your Uncle Da."

"Is it true? Then Mother, shouldn't Li'er prepare some delicious food for her brother, and he can eat it when he comes back. Jiang Lin thought about it, and raised his head to think.

"Hehe, yes, we can eat it when Qi'er comes back, then we'll go back." Mother Jiang touched her daughter's Xiao Yao nose and smiled, sweeping away the loss just now.
