Be steadfast in being a passerby Verse 111
Cheng Ye stared at it and did not refute: "Has Shaolin ever disappointed you?" β
Jiang Cheng's lips pursed slightly, silent.
"Look at your long hair, I'll know." Cheng Ye turned around: "The Li family has never let my father and me down. "The old lady is open-minded, and Uncle Ran Sheng is amiable. Every time a caravan travels far away, they will tell them that there is only one life, and they must cherish it.
The two looked at each other and smiled for a long time.
In the middle of the night, Xin Shansi's brows suddenly frowned, and the little man lying on the side closed his eyes and whimpered. Li Shang propped up the kang with his elbows and looked in. Xin Shansi bent her lips, reached into Li Jiujiu's small quilt, and pulled her wet diaper. Li Jiujiu immediately shut up and turned over and went inside.
"The mat must be damp." Li went up and down the kang and went to get a dry mat.
Xin Shansi lay still and watched Dr. Li clean up: "I just had a dream. β
"Who did you dream of?" Li Shang touched his daughter's small quilt, it was warm, and he picked her up with the quilt, changed her mat, set her up, and took a diaper from the rattan basket at the end of the kang.
"My master." The vicissitudes of life are the same as she remembers. Xin Shansi frowned: "Doctor Li, have you read my master's book on the Qinglian bowl?" β
"I haven't looked at it closely." Li Shang put on the girl's diaper, folded the quilt, leaned over and kissed the little man's forehead. Li Jiujiu was disturbed several times and wanted to open his eyes and look, but he really couldn't open them, so he gave up and continued to sleep.
Xin Shansi said: "My master left a letter saying that she would go to Fengruo City because he talked about Xiangle and changed her letter privately. You mentioned that Lingzhou Fengyue Villa was destroyed on the first day of June in the tenth year of Taishun. β
"Yes." Li Shang didn't lie outside, but was directly inserted between the girl and Shansi.
"My master also mentioned a day, the third day of the sixth month of the tenth year of Taishun." Xin Shansi's eyebrows frowned even tighter: "She said that she had been forbearance for several years, and finally Taishun changed her letter privately on the third day of the sixth month of the tenth year of Taishun and led her to Fengruo City. β
Li Shang knew where she was confused: "After Tan Xiangle gave birth to a daughter, I asked for your master's forgiveness, and I was arranged to serve in Mo Huilin. It is 600 miles from Mohuilin to Wind Rudder City, and with your master's footsteps, even if you travel day and night, it will take about three days. β
"My master also brought Tan Xiangle, and it was Tan Xiangle who attacked her." Xin Shansi looked coldly: "If it is a letter privately changed on the third day of the sixth month, then by the time my master arrives in Fengruo City, it will be at least the seventh or eighth day of the sixth month." At this time, several days had passed since the destruction of Fengyue Villa. How could the streets and alleys of Wind Rudder City still be empty? β
"So you suspect that your master and Tan Xiangle arrived in Wind Rudder City on the third day of the sixth month." Li Shang asked.
"Yes." Xin Shansi said: "My master was seriously injured when he left a book on the green lotus bowl, and there were still chasing soldiers behind him, so it was okay to be unable to express clearly..." Although her mother did not go to Changhe Town to congratulate, she had already cut cloth and made clothes for her grandfather a few months earlier. On her birthday, her mother also gave a reward to the nurse's family and cooked a table of good dishes. "My grandfather's birthday was on the second day of June."
After contemplating for three or five breaths, Li Shang raised his lips: "Talking about Xiangle or Datai, did you already know that something was going to happen in Lingzhou?" β
"Wind Rudder City is considered the territory of the Absolute Evil Tower, and what role did the Absolute Evil Tower play in the murder of my master?" Xin Shansi really wanted to dig up the old nun and ask clearly, who sent her the letter to Tan Xiangle to change it privately, and what important things did she need to go to the Great Sect Master in person?
Li Shang tucked his arms under her neck, lay down flat, and picked things up: "When Tan Xiangle came to your master's side, how old was it?" β
"Eleven years old, in Montu." Xin Shansi said: "Tan Xiangle was bullied by others and was saved by my master. "The plot is clichΓ©.
"Eleven years old, already sensible." Li Shang said, "At that time, your master was..."
"Forty-six."
"Han Lingshu has been famous all over the world since she was twenty-five years old." Li Shang calculated the time: "Fifty-one-year-old tantra. β
Xin Shansi was thinking: "Tan Xiangle secretly changed the letter, and he must have been instructed by Datai. But compared to Qi Tatai, she is closer to my master and knows more about my master's affairs. I didn't know that there were ghosts in the building before, so I didn't think much about it, but now I think about it again and find that there are a lot of doubts inside. β
"Tan Xiangle shouldn't be Meng Yuling's person." Li Shang said: "When your master was forty-six years old, it was the sixteenth year of Liehe, and Meng Yuling was only seven years old at that time. β
With a soft hum, Xin Shansi agreed: "There is a sentence in my master's book, talking about Xiangle serving the Buddha for ten years, living in the temple, and actually becoming pregnant. According to her time, Tan Siyu is over twenty years old. But as far as I know, Tan Siyu should be about the same age as me. So this ten years of serving the Buddha is also wrong. When talking about Xiangle's body, serving the Buddha is definitely not more than ten years, it should be about twelve years. β
She's correcting her master's mistakes here. Li Shang laughed: "When a person is seriously injured, his head will inevitably be dizzy. β
"And she is hurt in her heart, and it is the limit to be able to escape to Luohe City." Xin Shan pondered: "I don't want to, when I bump into Datai one day, I will ask him about the matter before killing him, and then I will know if there is a problem with Xiangle." "Eyes closed," sleep. β
Li Shang took a heavy sip on her forehead.
Just before the rooster crowed, there was already a queue outside the gate of Chongzhou's east city. Cheng Ye and the others came not late, and they were at the front, but to their surprise, Jiang Cheng was also there. At daybreak, the line was so long that the tail could not be seen. It's not that no one wants to cut the queue in the middle, but which one of them is not physically strong?
Feng Xiao and Lu Yao arrived on time, Qi Jian carried a table and put it under the recruitment notice, took out the booklet from the placket and put it on the table, and then drew the bone chopping knife inserted under the table and stood aside.
I didn't see Li Shang, Cheng Ye was not lost. Li Shang has already settled in Xunjiatun, and he has bought a piece of Shengran Mountain, and he has made such a big move. I dare not say that in the long run, at least in the next few months, he will definitely not leave Chongzhou.
Lu Yao specially brewed a pot of wolfberry tea today. Fengxiao set up the bench, and the two sat down. At the head of the line was a six-foot man, still with a big belly in mid-September, who was signaled to take two steps forward.
As soon as Feng Xiao wanted the man to stretch out his hand, Lu Yao had already said, "Not suitable, next one." β
Dahan's eyes flickered: "You explain clearly to Lao Tzu why you don't want Lao Tzu?" β
"You're too dry to do fine work. We need to get rid of the grassroots. Lu Yao was not afraid of his angry glare, his eyes were deep, and he looked at the big man. Five or six breaths, the big man was defeated, this fox eye was really accurate, he was anxious, and he was unwilling to move to give up his position.
In comparison, the second place is much more Sven. Feng Xiao looked at his hand and shook his head: "Next." β
Seven or eight people in a row were not hit, and there was a voice in the team, and they only knew who the master of the recruitment was, and those who had opinions did not dare to speak out. The ninth was a middle-class thin young man, Lu Yao looked at his face, his eyes dropped, fixed on his hand, and nodded.
Feng Xiao picked up the pen: "Household register." β
The young man was surprised and hurriedly took out the household registration book and handed it over with both hands. Fengxiao registered: "Start work the day after tomorrow, bring your own equipment." β
"Done." He knew all this, and if the equipment was broken, it was Dr. Li's.
Two moments later, it was Jiang Cheng's turn. Qi Jian only felt familiar when he looked at this face, but he couldn't match it for a while. However, Lu Yao recognized the person at a glance, and after looking at the face, he persuaded: "Do you want to consider that burrito stall in Shengran Mountain?" β
As soon as he heard the burrito stall, Qi Jian immediately remembered: "Jiang Cheng." "How did he shave his hair like this?
Jiang Cheng raised his hand: "Doctor Li asked me to come to him, I'm here." β
"It came at the right time." Feng smiled and said, "We are short of people now." "To be precise, there is a shortage of villagers.
The ruler pointed to his side and asked him to come and stand. Jiang Cheng did not refuse. As soon as he went to that station, he made Cheng Ye, who was waiting in the team, unhappy, and his heart was sour.
Two more were recorded, and the wind laughed and turned a page in the booklet: "Next." β
The round-faced boy with Cheng Ye puffed up and stepped forward. Lu Yao saw that he was looking straight ahead, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes." β
The two words are like heaven, and the round-faced boy hurriedly took out his household registration, for fear that the other party would not need him if it was too late.
"Ruan Qi." Wind smile registration.
After Ruan Qi was Cheng Ye, he didn't need to call, he walked to the table. Lu Yao stared at his eyebrows, and said in his heart This is not a good stubble: "Household registration." β
Ruan Qi, who was waiting on the side, saw that his brother Ye was also photographed, and jumped up with joy. Feng Xiao got the household registration, unfolded it, his eyes shrunk, and he raised his eyes to look at the man.
Today, Cheng Ye did not use a fake household registration, and in the eyes of Dr. Feng, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. At the time of the Li family's accident, Li Shang was only four years old. Feng Xiao knew him, which meant that Li Shang had something to do with Li's family.
He is the son of Cheng Yuliang, the chief steward of the Li family's caravan. Chi Chi Feng smiled before retracting his gaze, wrote down the word Cheng Ye, returned the household registration, and asked in a low voice: "Is your father still alive?" β
"Alive." Cheng Ye has a sour nose.
Fengxiao asked him to stand at the ruler sword. Qi Jian looked at the bearded man who walked and was sure that he was not familiar with it, but he was not in a hurry to ask Uncle Feng.
Because of their strict requirements, they recruited only 71 people by midday. By the time 200 people had been recruited, it was already dark.
Cheng Yuliang, who had been waiting for his son for a long time at home, came to the gate of Dongcheng and saw that the three people were with the recruiter, and his eyes suddenly became wet.
Feng Xiao didn't expect to be busy until so late, and was hesitating whether to let Cheng Ye go back first, when he heard Cheng Ye call "Dad", he looked up and saw someone coming, and immediately got up and saluted: "Chief steward." β
This call made Cheng Yuliang extremely painful, he was the chief steward of the Li family's caravan in the northwest, but the Li family... It's been twenty years ! Tingling pain in his nose, he was ashamed of the master and ashamed of the Li family. If it weren't for the fact that the young master was famous, he wouldn't have known that there were still people alive in the Li family's branches, and he would feel guilty when he raised his hand to cover his face.
"Since you are here, then go to Xunjiatun with me and others to meet the Lord." Feng Xiao didn't know the demeanor of Yu Liang when he was the chief steward of the caravan, and when he looked at the ravine on the old man's face, he knew that he had had a hard time over the years. But with his talents, it shouldn't be like this.
Qi Jian stared at the old man for a few breaths and then at the bearded man on the side, he knew who these two were. The chief steward of the Cheng family's largest caravan, Cheng Yuliang, and his son Cheng Ye.
"You..."
Hearing this, Cheng Ye turned his eyes to look at the ruler sword who wanted to speak and stopped, and smiled slightly: "My father and I have not deviated from the main family." On the caravan trip before the accident, my father would take me with him just to see that I was old and that I had the heart, so he took me out to see and see. β
Seeing that he was frank and open, Qi Jian had two points in his heart and believed that it was just a coincidence, and kicked Lu Yao.
Lu Yao handed over the roster, didn't look at Cheng Ye, and said: "Eyes are resolute, although he is not a high-spirited person, but he has a loyal temperament. β
Chapter 92
I'm going to see the little master... Cheng Yuliang's hand to hide his face unconsciously fell and touched his bulging placket, in fact, he was ready before he came.
Qi Jian carried the table and bench onto the ox cart and went to Xunjiatun. They didn't say anything on the way, they were all quiet, and it was past the end of the day when they arrived home. At the gate of the hospital, several people in the car got out of the car. The ruler sword drove the oxen around the back door.
Li Jiu slept for a long time, Li Shang was still reading the old pharmacopoeia, and when he heard movement outside, he didn't put down the old pharmacopoeia and got up and left the house.
"It's back." Xin Shansi smiled and followed Dr. Li, but she didn't expect that there would be guests at such a late hour.
With his eyes slightly constricted, Li looked at the old man who came from the darkness, and a vague figure rushed from the depths of his memory.
At the first glance of Li Shang, Cheng Yuliang was sure that he was the son of Li Ransheng, the uncle of the Li family. Cheng Ye also had red eyes and knelt down.
Cheng Yuliang... Li Shang was sure that the old man kneeling in front of him was Cheng Yuliang, the chief steward of the largest caravan of the Li family. After investigation, the caravan full of goods was robbed in the Longxi area after the accident of the Li family. The caravan guards all the corpses in the wilderness, only the chief steward Cheng Yuliang and his son Cheng Ye were not among them. This is also the most tragic one of the seven caravans of the Li family.
Of the remaining six, two of them were resting in Tanzhou when the Li family had an accident. The other four caravans, after hearing that the Li family was gone, either divided the money on the spot and dispersed, or did not resist when attacked. The whereabouts of those caravan personnel are still being investigated in the First Boundary Tower.
Listening to this cry, Xin Shansi felt uncomfortable, and only the three people who went to recruit in the kitchen were left with food, which would be three more... She beckoned Binghuan to go and make something to eat.
"Amitabha." Whether it was 20 years ago or 20 years later, Jiang Cheng can always find his own shadow in Cheng Ye. Twenty years ago, they were frivolously and shy looking forward to the future. Twenty years later, they have gone through the vicissitudes of life and become heavy, but fortunately, they still have the strength to face the downfall.
Cheng Yuliang's mournful crying was choked by the delicate whimpering coming from the main room. Li Shang hurried to comfort the girl who was woken up, and several people outside the house stared at the window lattice, and their breath was lightened.
Li Jiujiu had a good temper, and her father picked her up, and leaned his little head on her father's shoulder, and stopped crying.
Li Shang patted the villain, took a small bag and wrapped it in her, walked out of the house, saw Cheng Yuliang and Cheng Ye still kneeling, and smiled lightly: "Get up." He and Shansi were notorious, and the fact that the father and son dared to come to see him showed that they had little to do with the events of the past. That caravan traveled far away, and it was just a coincidence that Cheng Yuliang brought Cheng Ye with him.
"Get up." Feng Xiao went to help Cheng Lao. Cheng Yuliang raised his hand to stop him, took out a thick large paper envelope from his placket, and held it high above his head: "Little young master, this is all the things that my son and I have found in the past twenty years. β
The light smile on Li Shang dispersed, and his gaze at Cheng Yuliang and Cheng Ye became more real. Li Jiujiu pulled his own small fleshy claws from the small quilt and scratched at the itchy part of his head. The ruler sword was signaled, and stepped forward to pick up the large paper seal that Lao Gao was holding.
After handing over these things, Cheng Yuliang's shoulders were light, and he stood up with the strength of a smile. Cheng Ye watched his father get up before he moved his legs.
Li Shang brushed aside the girl's little paws, gently scratched her with his fingertips, and turned into the hall.
In the kitchen, Xin Shansi kneaded the dough and cut another piece of meat. After the meat sauce was fried, she remembered Jiang Cheng's hair.
"Aren't there pickles at home? Give him a bowl of pickles. Because of Fang Kuo and Lonely Mountain, Xue Bingning was not pleasing to the monk now, and pressed the fire with a burning stick.
The kitchen is next to the main room, and the two of them talk about it as small as it gets. Jiang Cheng was deaf and clear-sighted, and when he heard this, he walked out of the hall, went to the kitchen door, and raised his hand and said, "I'm not taboo." β
Don't taboo the taste, Xin Shansi smiled: "Okay, then I won't give you another stir-fry plate and noodles." "I brought a rolling pin over, and the noodles were put into the pot after a while.
The hall emptied the table, and Lu Yao carried a large basin of noodles and put it in the center of the table. Seeing the hot face of the white flowers, Li Jiujiu, who was wilting, immediately came to his senses.
Cheng Yuliang, who was greedy, smiled and asked, "It's been a few months, and you still can't eat it?" β
There was no need for Li Shanghui to reply, and the ruler sword who entered the door with the vegetables replied: "It's only been more than four months." If only she could eat, then we wouldn't have to avoid her all the time. "But it's almost there, he asked Uncle Feng that he will be able to get a little light and restrained in six or seven months.
Li Jiujiu's small body tilted towards the table, and he saw a room full of people laughing.
Xin Shansi grabbed the chopsticks, and Cheng Yuliang hurriedly arched his hand: "I'm tired of Mrs." β
"There's nothing tiring or not exerting." Xin Shansi waved his hand to ask the old man to be polite: "It's just that it's too late today, and there is no food at home." Tomorrow we will kill the goose and stew the goose to eat. Passing by her daughter, she saw the little thing staring at the table with beads in her eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "You've been caught eating again." β
"Good work." Li Shang looked at his wife warmly.
Still emotional? Xin Shansi glanced at him with disgust, and beckoned Cheng Ye and Jiang Cheng to come and sit down: "Hurry up and eat." If you rub it any longer, the dough will be lumpy. β
