Chapter 98: Coming to the Old Acquaintance's House by Chance
Once in the city, the streets were deserted except for the occasional lantern. Homes are closed, and there is silence everywhere.
This made the Alayanzong very strange, where does this look like a royal city? There is no prosperity at all, is this already a closed city?
In the darkness of the night, as he walked down the street, he suddenly heard footsteps, and looked for prestige, but it was a patrol of soldiers walking ahead.
Alayanzong looked at each house, but there was a light in the courtyard, indicating that there were still people in the house. He guessed that it might be because of the curfew at night and the residents were not allowed to go out.
Just when he was confused, he saw a "creak" of a courtyard door, and walked out of a person with a wooden basin in his hand and poured water into the wooden bucket next to the door.
Alayanzong hurriedly took a few steps forward, and when he saw that it was a woman, he said hello, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry." ”
When the woman saw someone appear, she was shocked, it was dark, and she couldn't see the face of the person who came, but she still responded, "Big brother, is there something wrong?"
Alayanzong hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, I just want to ask, why is there no one on the street?"
The woman was stunned with a wooden basin in both hands, "Don't big brothers know?"
It was impossible for Alayanzong to tell her that he had just sneaked in from outside the city, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm ashamed, I really don't know." ”
The woman was also surprised, and with a wooden basin in both hands, she carefully observed the Alayan sect. By the faint light of the lantern in the distance, he saw that Alayanzong was a little familiar, so he walked down the steps and came to the front to take a closer look.
"Oh, benefactor! Big brother is you! I said, why does it sound so familiar?"
When Alayanzong heard this, he also looked at the woman carefully, and although he had the light on his back, he recognized the young woman.
"Sister-in-law, it's really you! I also felt familiar with the voice just now, but I couldn't believe I could see you here. What's going on?"
It turned out that the woman was the mother they had helped at the mountainside inn, and her daughter was kicked to death by the robbers and buried on the mountain. Alayanzong was surprised as to why she was here.
The woman hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of Alayanzong's coat, "Big brother, come to the house to talk, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”
Alayanzong followed her into the courtyard gate, and the woman tied the door with her backhand.
"The big brother came into the house to talk. ”
The woman was very enthusiastic, put the basin in the courtyard, and led Alayanzong to the inner room of the house.
Alayanzong glanced at the courtyard. This is a small courtyard, although it is not big, it is a brick structure, with four main rooms and an east wing.
The light came through the room, and when I pushed the door in, there was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old sitting on a bamboo chair in the hall, pulling an abacus.
When the woman entered the house, she said, "I went to pour water into the house, but I saw my benefactor." This is the young man of Allah who I told you to save me. ”
The young man hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "I have admired the name of the young man for a long time, and it is an honor to come to the humble house. Please take a seat!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Alayanzong to sit on the bamboo chair beside him.
Seeing that this young man had white skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, no beard under his chin, and a bun tied behind his hair, he looked very energetic, and he was very decent in a green robe, and he looked a little elegant.
The woman introduced to Alayanzong, "This is my silent plea for peace in charge. ”
Alayanzong smiled, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother Mo Sheng, junior brother is disturbed." ”
Then Mo silently begged for peace and said to the woman: "Fortunately, don't you hurry up and serve tea to your benefactor." ”
The woman named Xing'er hurriedly answered and went to make tea.
Alayanzong was polite again, and finally sat down on the bamboo chair. When Xing'er brought the tea, the three of them were all happy and talked to each other.
It turned out that the woman's name was Andy Xing'er, and when she arrived in the mountain city of Vikchi, she was separated from Alayanzong and others during the great flight of the exiles, and she fled north with the flow of people.
Along the way, I missed my husband and daughter, and I was miserable in my heart, and I was even more aimless, but I subconsciously fled with the crowd and took another path. He walks non-stop during the day, and sleeps in the wilderness at night.
She is in a bad mood, she doesn't communicate with others, and others don't have the energy to talk to her. When she saw someone dying of illness or starvation on the road, she would think of her misfortune and weep sadly.
Fortunately, she had some dried meat from Ulla's peach in her arms, and she was frugal and only ate a little every day. On the way, she would also pick up some wild fruits, and she stayed up a little longer than others.
Even so, one day I fainted because of hunger. The homeless people in front of them were long gone, and no one noticed Andy Xing'er at the back of the line.
When she awoke, she found a young man lying in his arms, feeding her water.
The young man gave her baked bread again, and at last she was no longer hungry.
She was saved, and naturally she was grateful, these words came from the bottom of her heart, and the young man was even more polite.
During the conversation, she saw that the young man was handsome and kind-hearted, and the young man saw that although she was dressed plainly, she was not pretty, and they looked at each other, and they fell in love with each other in an instant.
The man was silently begging for peace, he went to the countryside to do some small business and returned to the royal city, and saw Andy Xing'er lying on the ground, stretched out his hand, there was still a snort, but he was unconscious, so he rescued him.
Knowing that Andy Xing'er was fleeing and wanted to go to Wangcheng, and Wangcheng had no relatives or friends to take refuge in, he invited her to his home.
When she learned that Mo Sheng Qiu'an also had a wife who died of illness last year and left no heirs, considering her own situation, she readily agreed.
At that time, it was not far from the royal city, and with the support of Mo Sheng's begging for peace, he came to the city.
Mo Sheng begged for an careful care, and Andy Xing'er returned to normal after a few days, and the person was energetic and cheerful.
Under the help of relatives and friends, the two simply got married. In this way, Andy Xing'er rightfully helped Mo Shengqiu An with housework.
And it is more exciting to walk the streets and alleys in the city and countryside to sell some daily necessities, maybe happiness came too suddenly, God did not let them go so smoothly, and the business could not be done.
Those homeless people entered the royal city on the same day as Andy Xing'er, and at first they were able to ask for some food and drink. But some people will gather together and die, and the plague has spread to the people of the royal city.
The king ordered the city to be sealed, and all the exiles were herded to a temple, where they were gathered without going in, and of course a healer was sent to treat them.
Andy Xing'er already had a family, so naturally she didn't belong to the group of homeless people, so she stayed at home. But a city, Mo Sheng's begging for peace can't go out to do his business.
Recently, the young couple can only stay at home, at best, to clean up some housework.
When they learned that the Alayan sect had come in over the city wall, the two of them didn't believe it at all. Whether they believe it or not doesn't matter much to the Arayantes.
But when they learned that the two of Ula were still outside the city, Andy and the two tried their best to invite them into the city.
What worries Alayanzong is that the two of them can't cross the moat at all, how can they get on the city wall?
