Chapter 48: The Thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve (3)
The words of hope for return shook Lin Yi's heartstrings. Indeed, this may be the last year of hope. Then he really can't let the second grandfather embark on a long journey with him in the Chinese New Year's Eve, risking danger and sleeping in the open.
Lin Yi thought to himself that he should let the second grandfather and father celebrate the New Year happily.
Lin Yi quietly withdrew.
At this moment, the sound of festive firecrackers and people's laughter are constantly sounding all over the house.
Lin Yi walked out of a section and happened to meet Zeng Xiaotong, who was still childlike at heart, leading a group of children to play with guns.
The little boy is a shrewd man and a steady worker. And you don't have to accompany your wife and children, you might as well let the little boy go with him.
Lin Yi walked over.
When those children saw Lin Yi coming, they surrounded Lin Yi and begged for money. Lin Yi gave them all the broken silver in his hand and let them play first.
The children took the money and went away rejoicing.
Lin Yi said to the little boy: "Little boy, I'm afraid you have to pass this year on the road." ”
Zeng Xiaotong said: "King Lin, what do you want?"
Lin Yi said: "It is reported that Linghu Hidden Soul led people to the southern border. I'm worried that he's not good for Hou Ye and Jin'er. So I'm going to the South. You go with me. This New Year, you and I will spend it on the road. ”
The little boy smiled: "It's not fun to be able to spend the New Year with King Lin on the road." King Lin, just you and me, do you need to bring some more people?"
Lin Yi said: "You pick eight smarter ones with high martial arts skills." Go ahead and prepare now. We'll set off in a moment. ”
Zeng Xiaotong said: "Yes." ”
As soon as Zeng Xiaotong turned around, Lin Yi stopped him again and told him not to tell Zeng Tengyun about this.
Everything was ready, and Lin Yi and the little boy walked out of the small gate of the mansion with eight southern realm masters. Lin Yi is in order not to alarm others. Lin Yi also instructed Hua Zizai to tell Zeng Tengyun what happened after he left.
The men rode out for a few miles, and saw a horse in front of them blocking the road. The man on the horse was dressed in new clothes. He looked at Lin Yi who was running over, whistling loudly.
It was Zeng Tengyun.
When he got closer, Zeng Tengyun said to Lin Yi with a dissatisfied look: "Brother Lin, why don't you notify me when you go to the south." Didn't you promise to drink with me from this year to next? ”
Lin Yi glanced at the little boy.
It must have been the little boy who told Zeng Tengyun about this.
It turned out that when Zeng Xiaotong went back to pack up in a hurry, he happened to be bumped into by Zeng Tengyun. Zeng Tengyun then asked Zeng Xiaotong the reason. Zeng Xiaotong originally wanted to lie, but was slapped by Zeng Tengyun.
Zeng Xiaotong grew up under the watchful eyes of Zeng Tengyun, how can he hide anything from Zeng Tengyun.
Zeng Xiaotong no longer dared to bully the master, so he could only tell the truth.
Then Zeng Tengyun asked Zeng Xiaotong to act as if nothing had happened, and quickly packed up his things. And Zeng Tengyun also cleaned up and took the first step to block the way.
Lin Yi said: "Brother Zeng, if I usually don't hide it from you." Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and my sisters and children have been looking forward to your return. Go back and celebrate the New Year with your mother. I can handle this little thing. ”
Zeng Tengyun sighed and said, "Even if I go back now, I have to be driven out by your two sisters." When the boy told me, I told her again. Then she urged me to come and help you like a ghost. And let me take good care of you all the way. Otherwise, it's not as good as me. It's really closer than my sister. So, you're going to have to take me in. Otherwise, I have nowhere else to go. ”
Zeng Tengyun's words really made Lin Yi feel warm.
Lin Yi said: "Good brother, then let's go together!"
Zeng Tengyun said: "That's right!"
Then Lin Yi and Zeng Tengyun galloped forward, and the little boy followed closely behind.
Although Lin Yi was anxious, the southern border was thousands of miles away, and it was not possible to arrive in three or five days.
By dusk, snowflakes were falling in the sky. The wind beat them with snowflakes, and the snow fell on them like broken jade.
Lin Yi glanced at the weather and said to Zeng Tengyun: "It seems that tonight is a snowy night, and we can't continue to hurry." Find a place to stay, we also have to celebrate the New Year. ”
Zeng Tengyun smiled: "Then tonight you and I will drink from this year to next year." ”
After walking for more than two miles, the sky became darker and the snow drifted more rapidly.
At this time, Lin Yi heard the faint sound of firecrackers. As I walked in search of the sound, I saw a few families scattered on the side of the road. At the very front, there is an inn more than ten zhang away from the road.
There are two children in front of the house who set off firecrackers.
Lin Yi said: "Although it is simple, it is an inn anyway." We're here tonight. ”
Several people got off the official road and came towards the inn.
When they got closer, Lin Yi and the others dismounted.
One of the two children who fired the cannon was seven or eight years old, and the other was in his teens. Seeing that Lin Yi and the others were all carrying weapons, they were not afraid. ran over to Lin Yi and asked them for New Year's money.
The boy gave the two children some copper coins.
A few people shook off the snowflakes on their bodies and entered the inn.
The inn is made up of several yellow mud houses. The largest one is a dining room. There are five long tables in the room. Horseshoe lamps hang on both sides of the wall.
There were no diners in the hall.
In front of the counter, a middle-aged man in a sheepskin jacket was looking down listlessly, settling accounts.
Hearing someone coming in, he looked up.
Unexpectedly, there were more than ten guests in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. And they were all dressed in brocade clothes and wore weapons. At first glance, it is a rich high-roller. The shopkeeper hurriedly came over with a smiling face. He took a rag and diligently wiped the two tables and the stools. Please sit with Lin Yi.
Tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and they are all away. In order to be lively, Lin Yi ordered the two tables to be put together, and then the eleven of them sat together.
The shopkeeper asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to eat......?"
Zeng Tengyun interrupted him and said, "You don't want to report the name of the dish." Look at your little shop, it's nothing unusual. Bring us all the best food and drinks in your shop. Simmer another pot of lamb. Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the uncle doubles your money. By the way, let's burn two more plates of ondol. We stayed here tonight. ”
When the shopkeeper heard that he had doubled the money, he was immediately happy, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go and prepare, prepare the best wine and food." ”
At this time, Lin Yi also untied the hair around his neck.
When the shopkeeper saw Lin Yi's true face, his heart suddenly "groaned".
The shopkeeper tried his best to hide his inner turmoil, and as he walked towards the back room, he shouted, "Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, soon, there is a guest." Hurry up and cook......"
Then the shopkeeper went back to the back room, where there was a woman who was pasting window grilles.
It was the shopkeeper's wife.
The shopkeeper's voice was lowered: "Baby, where is the portrait?"
The woman pointed to the wall and said, "I'm crushed under that red box." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly turned out a portrait from the bottom of the box and unfolded it.
The portrait is painted with Lin Yi.
The shopkeeper looked at the portrait carefully, and his hands began to tremble.
He said to the woman in a trembling voice: "Wa'er Niang, the person on this portrait is here." ”
