Chapter 4: Secret Conversations in the Carriage (Revised)
Xie Wenzai was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and still answered the child's question: "I'm just a small person to that person, and it's not worth bothering to come to me." But he has always been narrow-minded, and when he meets me in person, he will not let me have a good time. Maybe you think that people may not remember what happened 30 years ago, but your grandfather ...... And I, I don't dare to bet. ”
Haitang blinked: "Since that's the case, can't you hide if you can't afford to gamble?" Knowing that the man is in Suzhou City, and he still holds the city gate, why don't we leave? What's the use of waiting here? We can still line up now, but when everyone is in the city, don't we still have to meet that enemy? ”
Xie Wenzai smiled bitterly: "Yes, if we knew this was the case, we should have directly diverted to other places in the first place...... Although all Guazhou immigrants should register in Suzhou City to change their household registration, with Haixiya's many years of contacts in the border army, it can also be done by changing routes to other places. Ganzhou City may be too far away, but Shahe Fort and Hongshan Fort, which are not far from Suzhou City, are guarded by their old acquaintances. Even if these two forts are not as big as Suzhou City, it is not a problem to borrow a few rooms for two days, and there will be garrison medical officers there who can treat the children. When the two children's illnesses are cured, they go directly to Ganzhou to register, what are they afraid of Sun Yonglu?
But they just had a fluke and waited outside Suzhou City, but they couldn't wait for Sun Yonglu to give up first. If they had immediately diverted to other places when the two children had just burned up, they would have done everything a long time ago, and they would not have to be trapped outside Suzhou City at all.
However, it is too late to say anything. Xiaoshi's high fever has not subsided, and Suzhou City is just a stone's throw away, so it is impossible for them to turn around and go elsewhere.
After listening to Xie Wenzai's explanation, Haitang said, "Since you can't leave now, let that person leave the city gate." Didn't our family live in Suzhou City for several years and know a lot of people? Isn't there anyone who wants to do us a favor and let that person go away for a while? As long as we can complete the registration and go into town, it's fine. Will he recognize his cousin, and will his subordinates too? Didn't he see the people with his own eyes, so he had to chase after the door one by one to take a look? ”
Xie Wenzai groaned: "This method...... It's not impossible, it's just that the people in the city need to cooperate, and that person has to take the risk of offending Sun Yonglu...... "After all, it's the concubine's brother, the nephew of the elder of the pavilion, if it's easy to offend, so many generals in the border army, they won't sit back and watch him mess around so far."
Xie Wenzai thought about it and felt that if Cousin Hai was really not at ease, he wrote a letter to ask the commander of Suzhou Wei to make General Wednesday come forward, and it was not impossible. It's just that Cousin Hai insisted on leaving Suzhou despite General Wednesday's retention, and now he goes back to beg for help, and he may not be able to get over it. But this kind of thing doesn't have to be said by Cousin Hai, it is only right that he, the party, comes forward. With his exploits for the border army for more than 20 years, General Wednesday should not refuse, and it is a big deal that he will serve as the military aircraft of the Zhou family for a few more years.
Thinking like this, Xie Wenzai calmed down a lot. He was actually not afraid of Sun Yonglu, but he was worried that it would affect his cousin's family. As long as General Wednesday can keep the others, no matter what the conditions, he Xie Wenzai will accept it.
Xie Wenzai said softly to Haitang: "Uncle Cousin's Guild will find a way to solve this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Lie down, my cousin will give you a few needles, it won't hurt. ”
When Haitang lay down, he was still thinking of a way for him: "There are actually many ways to take people away." It was okay for the man to quarrel with someone and come late, it was okay for someone to invite him to dinner, or if his men were in trouble, anyway, it was enough to have an excuse for him to leave for a while. When we entered the city, we hurried to change our household registration and then immediately left the city. Even if he finds out afterwards, can he still catch up? ”
Xie Wenzai smiled and didn't speak, only concentrating on the needle. His acupuncture and moxibustion skills are better than the ability to prescribe prescriptions, the acupuncture points are all accurate, the strength is very appropriate, and the technique is no problem, and there is no crime for Begonia. Haitang originally wanted to continue to discuss with him how to enter the city, but he was stitched a few times, and he felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
By the time she woke up, it was already evening.
Xie Wenzai, who got in the car again to check her pulse, brought her good news: "We can enter the city tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore." ”
Begonia hurriedly grabbed his sleeve: "What's the matter?" That General Sun stopped stopping people? ”
Xie Wenzai's mood was relaxed, and his friends in the city acted unexpectedly decisively, which surprised him, so he was also quite patient in the face of Begonia: "General Sun and other generals quarreled, and they wanted to go to Jiayuguan City not far away to garrison. This is the task of testing the immigrants into the city, and it will be left to other people. ”
So why not go into town today? It also saves you a lot of long nights and dreams.
Xie Wenzai said: "The generals have all been arranged, and it is safest to enter the city tomorrow morning." Your second uncle has already asked someone to grab medicine in the city and come back, and Jin Guo is boiling. When Xiaoshi has drunk the medicine and his fever has subsided, he can go to the city and go home tomorrow. ”
Go home? Didn't they go into the city and leave after registering?
Although in Haitang's memory, the Hai family does have their own house in Suzhou City, but if they stay in the city, aren't they afraid that Sun Yonglu will come to the door? There's really nowhere to hide.
However, Xie Wenzai didn't explain much. He is willing to talk so much to a child like Begonia, and he is already a very enlightened and patient elder. The voice of his friend Cao Gengyun came from outside the carriage: "Old Xie, come on, Liu Keren has specially gone out of the city to find Brother Hai, and he wants to explain to us the arrangements after entering the city tomorrow." ”
Xie Wenzai responded when he heard this, and got out of the car.
Haitang turned over, lifted the corner of the curtain, and could still hear the conversation between him and Cao Gengyun: "Liu Keren just came over like this?" Aren't you afraid to be seen? ”
"I heard that Sun Yonglu just left the city and went to Guancheng." Cao Gengyun said, "If he doesn't leave, Liu Keren may not dare to come to us." He can't stay long, he has to go back to the city before it gets dark, let's go quickly. ”
The two of them rushed to the carriage of the Haixi Cliff together.
Haitang is a little curious, what is the origin of this "Liu Keren"?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw her brother coming over with a lantern.
Haijiao is only eleven or twelve years old this year, but he is strong and vigorous, with broad shoulders and long legs, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he still has baby fat on his face, and he looks childish. He got into the car, first raised the lantern and took a picture of the begonia: "I haven't seen you for a few days, is my little sister okay?" Grandma was always afraid that I would be sick and refused to let me come to see you. But she's guarding the little rock now, so I came secretly. ”
Haitang smiled: "I'm fine, thank you brother for thinking." ”
"It's okay." Haijiao spread his hands and feet and leaned against the wall of the car, "I've been helping to keep an eye on sheep and horses these days, and I'm really tired of guarding against others coming to steal all day long." ”
Haitang blinked: "So many people are watching, and there are still people who come to steal?" ”
"Do you think the people who are traveling with us are good people?" Haijiao pouted, "Otherwise, why is everyone in a hurry to enter the city?" He yawned, "You can sleep a little longer, and I'll rest too, and call me again when it's time to eat." ”
Begonia responded, and specially gave up her position, so that her brother straightened his legs and feet and leaned more comfortably. The reef closed its eyes and recuperated, and after a while, there was a snoring sound in the carriage.
Haitang lightly pulled a sheepskin jacket and gently covered his brother to prevent him from catching a cold.
As soon as she lay back on the bed, she saw that the reef suddenly opened her eyes, and sat up with a frightened look, with a look of shock, vigilance, ferocity, and despair on her face...... A lot of incomparably complex expressions.
The once innocent and reckless teenager seems to have disappeared. Now behind these eyes...... It is a soul that has gone through all the vicissitudes of life.
