Chapter 22: Letters from Home

The name of this house is Yue Weng Pavilion, a small shop mainly for the sale of cultural games, and it is a storefront that Uncle Lu Shishu asked Yun Qian to learn and use alone. The source of goods on weekdays is mainly the dead pawn of the pawnshop and the objects bought by the surrounding cities and counties, and the price is high or low, all of which are estimated by Yun Qian himself, and there are specially transferred guys to receive them. During the monthly account verification, Uncle Lu Shishu took the bill of goods to help Yun Qian point out and explain.

At first, it was a mess, and there were a few taboos during which he almost alarmed the government again, thanks to Uncle Lu Shi's dots, it was fine. Uncle Lu Shi only said every time, 'Take advantage of your youth, suffer more losses', and sent a lot of goods.

The aunt of the Lu family will send things, or because Du Chongshan told the truth after climbing back, and he has always been indebted, so he often borrows some jewelry from the beginning to the store. Because he didn't go through the pawnshop's accounts, Yun Qian made a few small profits, which added a lot of confidence to him. To this day, Yunqian has the ability to achieve a balance of entry and exit, and the support of the Lu family is absolutely indispensable.

After sending off the bean review, Yun Qian ate some lunch, locked the door, said hello to the master, and walked towards Taichi Street. Speaking of wandering, it is also to increase knowledge, the merchants in the county town are like a stream, and Taichi Street is a place where eight streets and nine Mo gather. Therefore, when he has free time, Yun Qian will definitely come here, stop and look at new things when he sees them, and occasionally he will go back to some of his favorite objects.

Half an hour later, Yun Qian probably visited some stalls, and was about to go to the store to look around, and found that Dou Ping Xing was hurriedly looking for him.

Yun Qian quipped: "Don't be in such a hurry, just send the bracelet and talk to the shop." ”

Dou Ping replied breathlessly: "Uncle Chang is back, I'll come to find you back." ”

Yun Qian was overjoyed and asked, "When did you come back?" ”

Dou Ping pulled up Yun Qian and said as he walked: "Just when I went back to the pawnshop." Uncle Chang half of his head was wrapped in a wounded cloth, and his complexion was depressed, and then he went to the study to get less than a cup of tea, and heard the shopkeeper's angry scolding, and smashed things, I have never seen him so angry, or with Uncle Chang. Later, the study was quiet for a long time, and the shopkeeper came out with red eyes and asked me to find you. ”

In Yun Qian's view, Uncle Chang Shi is generous and kind, and Uncle Lu Shi is gentle and humble, never thought that the two would have a dispute, and he was worried in his heart, and urged his steps back to Junxing Pawnshop.

In the study in the backyard, the windows and doors were unusually closed. Yun Qian, who hurried back, didn't dare to break in: "Uncle Lu Shi, the little nephew is back." ”

The wooden door opened lightly, and Uncle Lu Shi led Yun Qian in with his reddened eyes, and walked to the main hall without saying a word.

In the study, Chang Jingzhu sat with his hands down, and the right half of his face was wrapped in a thick wound cloth like a zongzi, and his temperament was depressed.

Yun Qian asked anxiously: "Uncle Chang Shi, why did you get injured like this, what happened?" ”

Chang Jingzhu didn't say a word, and silently took a letterhead from his arms and wrote 'My son opened it personally'. Yun Qian recognized his mother's handwriting, hesitantly took it into his hand, and asked, "Uncle Chang Shi, where is my father?" ”

Chang Jingzhu swallowed and salivated in his mouth: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Yun Qian's heart sank, and he walked aside alone and took out the letter. Calligraphy:

The word is sent to my Qian, and my world inherits the art of public opinion, like the sky and the earth, in order to benefit the people's livelihood. However, it was passed on to my generation, and it gradually lost its truth, and only the family burial method could be extended. Your father and his group have always made a living from secret tomb thieves, and they have become acquainted with this.

However, the yin virtue is exhausted, and the calamity is coming, and it is too late for us to return to the right in a panic, and the yin and evil will invade the body. The beloved daughter died young, remorseful and painful, and pity-broken. I have done all the good deeds with your father, and heaven and earth have finally added mercy, and I have a son's name, Dun Min is affectionate, Hao Hao is flawless, and I am also courteous and filial piety, and I have no regrets for the rest of my life. However, a hundred years are coming, leaving you alone, humiliated, sick and unaccompanied, I wake up every night, and I am uneasy.

You have already sent out the heart of seeking immortals, and the two of us should bear the stone to fight the bridge and explore a glimmer of opportunity. Or traversing the boundless, or Tu Deng's long ridge, unexpectedly wandering the place angered the sky, fortunately relying on the scenery to live around the protection, the remnants of the breath here.

The abyss of the earth, the immortals are separated, my son must not be persistent, or scattered in the countryside, or rich and noble, or worship the official and the minister, I only hope that you will be healthy and enjoy your life. If there is danger, you will help one or two. Don't indulge in bad habits and bad habits. Don't be lazy in your diet. When you are an adult, marry a wife and have children, and treat your relatives well, don't lose etiquette. Under the tree on the east wall, there are two jars of wine red, which are used to drink and celebrate on the day of your sister and your sister's glory, if you meet the big celebration, you can raise the altar and drain three cups of wine, we know ourselves.

All kinds of things are retribution, my son should not be jealous and hateful, and he will have a son, and he will be happy in this world.

Weeping and weeping, bitter and distressed.

Yun Qian, who was already in tears, looked back and asked, "Where is my father?" ”

"Home", Chang Jingzhu suppressed his tears, afraid that he would cry if he said one more word.

Yun Qian tried his best to wipe away his tears, ran out, and saw Uncle Lu Shi standing at the door of the main hall: "Uncle Lu Shi, I want to go home." ”

"Do you have something to pack? Douzi went to prepare the car, there is still some time", the shopkeeper asked quietly.

"Something... By the way, I still have something. Yun Qian suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran towards Yue Weng Pavilion.

The shopkeeper looked at Yun Qian's galloping figure, and his eyes were speechless. The pawnshop's courtier approached: "Shopkeeper, the silver has been taken, ninety taels of scattered silver, five hundred taels of silver." I just got some food from the back kitchen, and you keep it for the road. ”

"Well, you wait for Douzi and Xiaoqian, when they come back, they will tell Jingzhu to go to the South City Gate, I don't have many Qingxin pills on my body, go to the pharmacy." After speaking, step by step.

The spring sun was white, the flow of people was still the same, and the shopkeeper walked silently through the street, looking at the faded gourd outside the pharmacy, and hesitated.

……

Outside the South City Gate

A horse-riding cart was waiting for the guests, and the coachman was startled when he saw a few people living in Chang Jing: "Old Chang, when did you come back, there has been no news for half a year, where have you gone?" What's the deal with the white stripes on your face? ”

Chang Jingzhu waved his hand: "Don't ask Lao Gu, you are tired and put your things in the car, and we will set off when Brother Lu comes." ”

The coachman surnamed Gu took the food box from the court, and wanted to help Yun Qian put the cloth bag in his arms, but Yun Qian refused to let go: "Master, please hurry up, I want to get home early." ”

The coachman glanced at Chang Jingzhu: "It's no problem to be fast, after all, it's two horses, but you are delicate and expensive, and this bump is unbearable." ”

Chang Jingzhu said, "Old Gu, be tired." On the way, the horses rested twice, and at night the lights were lit up, and they tried to get to Xiling as quickly as possible. ”

Looking at Chang Jingzhu's tired appearance, the coachman didn't say anything, and when the shopkeeper arrived, he flicked his whip and drove off.

The road was bumpy, the work was difficult, on the way, Yun Qian couldn't help but vomit twice, the shopkeeper's face was even more ugly, and even the food was difficult to swallow. Chasing the stars and catching the moon, the night dew lingers, until the horse lantern is extinguished, and then it arrives at home.

Seeing that the spiritual shed in the courtyard had risen, and the three or two groups of idlers were lonely and busy, Yun Qian was furious: "What are you doing, this is my house, who let you break in." ”

One of the women replied dissatisfiedly, "You child, don't you understand?" We were busy helping the old Yun family, but how did we become thieves. ”

"Get out, get out." Yun Qian didn't care about it, dragging the corners of the woman's clothes out, and almost pushed each other.

Chang Jingzhu stopped Yun Qian and persuaded a few people away: "Xiao Qian, they are invited by me to take care of them, you calm down." ”

Yun Qian picked up the burden and ran into the house, and stood at the door after a while: "What about my father, didn't you say that you were at home?" ”

With a question, Chang Jingzhu was at a loss, and his gaze slowly moved to the spirit shed.

Yun Qian suddenly scolded: "You fart, my mother's letter didn't mention the word "difficulty", why do you want to curse my father." As soon as he turned his head, Yun Qian picked up a piece of wooden stick and was about to smash the spirit shed.

Bang, the shopkeeper Lu was furious, slapped (Yin Guo) on Yun Qian's cheek, and scolded him with all his might: "Bastard, if you dare to be disrespectful today, I will never spare it." Your father and mother have waded through the mountains regardless of their illness for you, and your uncle Chang Shi has long since stopped asking about gods and ghosts, and for your father and mother to say a word, he followed him all the way, taking care of them day and night, and tried his best to cause many taboos, so as to send them back to their hometown and avoid desolation outside the door. In order to make you less sad, your mother exhausted her efforts to leave a ruler's words, and you are an unfilial son who dares to be reckless and resentful here, and deceive yourself. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you now, my brother and sister-in-law, your father and mother have returned to heaven a month ago, and they have abandoned themselves and are lying in the shed, do you need me to open the roof again to test you? ”

Yun Qian was beaten and fell to the ground, and shouted hoarsely: "But I have already asked for the elixir, as long as it is sent to my father's mother, I can cure their illness and let them live for ten more years." The immortal is real, I have already brought it to me for ten years that he personally promised, and it is in the bag, I only need to put it on them, I only need to give them water. With tears streaming down his face, he unwrapped the dead knot of the package, revealing a pile of white crystals, among which were buried a few pieces of fragrant red jade, a jade pendant, and a string of hand beads.

The stars are cold in the night, the white crystals contain light and brilliance, and the blood lines of red jade circulate, I don't know how many rare shopkeepers have been identified, and they can't help but fall to the ground, speechless.

Empty, relatives were panicked, and the shopkeeper sighed in the air: "Maybe this is the life of my brother and sister-in-law." ”

The silence of the small courtyard is deep, and the night wind is like a scattered soul.

Now that the closest relatives are gone, my heart is bitter... Difficult to Chen.

……

North of Xiling Village, ten days later

"Xiaoqian, there is more than half a day's walk from the village here, I don't worry about leaving you alone here for the night, let's go home and live first, just cut the grass and trim it every other day, don't care about the customs." Shopkeeper Lu said worriedly.

Yun Qian comforted: "It's okay, Uncle Lu Shi." At the beginning, I was able to spend a few nights in Baipan Mountain, and now with the protection of my father and sister, nothing will happen. ”

The shopkeeper was helpless: "Your temperament really follows your mother." Maybe the feng shui here was specially selected by my brother and sister-in-law before her death, and your uncle Chang Shi personally inspected it for a few nights, and he said that there was nothing to do. The wooden houses are all made of new wood, it will be a little damp, you have to come out more to bask in the sun, you deal with the food on weekdays first, I will move the Yue Weng Pavilion to the vicinity of the market in a few days, so that the guy will often come to make up some insect incense (Yin Chu) money for you, and the objects that need to be evaluated will also be brought over, you don't have to be lazy and slack, if I have nothing to do, I will often come to check, and..."

Yun Qian knew Uncle Lu Shi's advice and had to say it for a long time: "Okay, Uncle Lu Shi, I have memorized everything, and I will also complete the homework for the examination quietly, and I will not fall behind." The mountains and rivers here are pure, and the food is complete, which is the benefit of self-cultivation. You brought Uncle Chang Shi back to the city for treatment earlier, his inflammation can't be delayed any longer. ”

The shopkeeper wiped his eyebrows, took out a hollow copper ball from his arms, and took out a set of delicate and small sleeve crossbows from his sleeves: "Although there are outstanding people here, but the world is unpredictable, these two are the objects that saved my life before." The copper smoke ball was filled with ecstasy, and when it was dangerous, the pills inside were twisted and scattered, and the person who was hit immediately fell asleep and fell to the ground. As for the sleeve crossbow, the needle has been fed with poison, which can paralyze people, but if it hits the vital point, it is a murder weapon that takes people's lives, and must not be used as a last resort. Saying that, the shopkeeper laughed at himself: "I have been hiding these two things for a long time, but I didn't expect to give them to you today." ”
