The next day, Zhang Yu set off for Chongqing, Qin Jiugong wanted to arrange a few elders to accompany him, but Zhang Yu thought that it was an eventful time now, if the elders left their posts for a long time, they would be afraid of trouble, and besides, looking for people was not to go to see the battle, so as to reject Qin Jiugong in one go.

Zhang Yu thought that Zhao and Yang were critically ill and did not tell Zhao Lingwei about this action, but she still knew about it, and she also knew that it was a loss of filial piety to be away from her parents now, but whether it was to save her parents from the clutches of the devil or take care of her along the way, she was not as good as Zhang Yu, a person who was not a relative or a relative.

It was because when she knew that Zhang Yu was looking for the antidote for the head of the family, she didn't even go back to visit her own sect, and insisted on following along, saying that she wanted to do something for her father and mother, so Zhang Yu was not easy to refuse.

Gongsun Ming is not a member of the beggar gang, saying that he wants to accompany Zhang Yu to see each other for a long time, although Zhang Yu is quite helpless, he is not good to say anything, and at the same time, he is indispensable to accompany Zhang Yu to the ends of the earth Zhang Qinger.

So after the group packed up and stopped, they rushed to Henan by horse, and the group crossed the mountains and mountains, and went through the state and the town without delaying time.

On this day, seeing that it was getting late, and there was no store in front of the village, several people thought: "I'm afraid I'm going to miss the lodging again" These days, a few people are also accustomed to it, but they don't care much.

Not long after walking, when twilight came, they saw a village, and everyone was overjoyed.

When a few people came to a house at the head of the village, they saw that the lights were shining in the house inside the fence wall, Gongsun Ming stepped forward and knocked the door knocker, and a woman in her thirties and a virtuous appearance came out of the house without much effort.

Seeing that Zhang Yu and his party looked unfamiliar, they became vigilant, and after Zhang Yu took out one or two pieces of silver to explain his intentions, the woman saw that the faces of the group were gentle and kind, so they let a few people into the courtyard.

A few people led the horses into the yard and bolted them, and the woman invited a few people into the house, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw a table in the hall with several nests and two bowls of gruel, and the woman went into the inner room and brought out an old woman, thinking that the woman and the mother-in-law were eating just now, and heard the noise outside the door because she was afraid of the villain, so the old woman hid.

Listening to the woman's introduction, her husband's surname is Ma, and the old woman in front of her is his mother-in-law.

Zhang Yu looked at this slightly simple room, and saw that the room seemed quite clean, and except for a table, a few benches and an old cabinet, there were no other eye-catching appliances in the whole hall, Zhang Yu secretly wondered and thought: "This place is not involved in the war, see that the Ma family is also a virtuous person, why is the family so poor" Several people looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.

After a lot of effort, Ma brought the food, and the meal was extremely simple, a few nests, a few bowls of porridge with few rice grains and a plate of pickles, Ma seemed to know that it was too simple, so his face was slightly red and a little embarrassed to say: "A few guests are really sorry, it's not that the woman is deliberately neglecting, but our family really can't get extra food, please use some."

Several people looked at each other with a wry smile, but they didn't care about eating, Zhang Yu and his sister were originally from a farming family, although the food was simpler, and the Ma family's craftsmanship was not bad, and the food was delicious.

And Zhao Lingwei and Gongsun Ming were full of bitter yellow color, which seemed to be difficult to swallow, Gongsun Ming drank two sips and was speechless, put down the dishes and chopsticks and turned to the Ma family and said: "I said Mrs. Ma, there is no war here, no natural disasters, why is your family so depressed?"

Ma's face turned red when he heard this, and he didn't know whether it was embarrassment or something unspeakable, and he was extremely nervous and said, "This, this..."

Gongsun Ming saw that her face was embarrassed, and waved his hand and said, "If there is something difficult, don't you say it?"

He was really hungry in his stomach, so he had to pick up the bowl again and drink it, only to hear the old woman on the side sigh and say: "Yu'e, you have paid enough for our family, only blame my unsuccessful son, I have suffered you all these years" After that, the two didn't care that outsiders were present, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Gongsun Ming was stunned when he heard this, stood up and said, "If the old man has any difficulties, I can make decisions for you."

The old woman cried and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but my son is hopeless."

Gongsun Ming listened to what the old woman said unclearly, so he had already begun to scold in the past, but at this time, he patiently asked again: "Old man, what is the matter with your son, I can make the decision for you if you tell me carefully?"

After hearing this, the old woman glanced at Gongsun Ming, looked a little sluggish, and said to herself: " My son was also an honest person, otherwise he would not have gotten such a good daughter-in-law as Yu'e, but just two years ago, I didn't know where to learn to gamble, so I let go of the field and didn't plant every day to go to the gambling house to play money, lost all my savings, not to mention sold all the valuable things in the family, and now there is no more valuable things at home, a few days ago I had to pull Yu'e to sell to others as a servant, Yu'e forced him to die so that he didn't let him take it away, and he didn't come back for some days, and I don't know whether it was life or death, my son who didn't make a weapon was really hatefulThen he hid his face and began to cry.

Several people were furious when they heard this, and Gongsun Ming slapped the table and shouted: "This is worth it."

Zhao Lingwei also shouted: "Tell this girl where your son is gambling money, I have to catch him to chop off his fingers."

Hearing this, the Ma clan was frightened and panicked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "A few guests, the slave family knows that you are good for me, but although my man is hateful, he will not be guilty of breaking his hands and stomping his feet, and please let my subordinates be merciful."

Zhao Lingwei picked up Ma and said angrily: "Eldest sister, it seems that this kind of man wants him to do something"

Ma Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There is a good saying, a husband and wife are a hundred days of grace, besides, he was not like this before, I believe that he will eventually repent."

Zhao Lingwei snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, there is no good man in the world" said and glanced at Zhang Yu a few times intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Yu felt aggrieved when he saw this, and thought: "What is this doing to me?"

Everyone saw that although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly hated their son for not being successful, they still maintained it tightly, and secretly scolded: "Poor people must also have something to hate" and didn't want to care anymore.

Ma vacated two rooms for a few people, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the firewood room with some quilts.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Yu dimly heard that the door in the courtyard seemed to be opened, and then heard a slight footstep, but listening to the deep and powerful steps, he knew that this person was not a person who practiced martial arts, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while, paying attention to the movement outside the door.

After a short time, I heard a sharp man's voice outside the door shouting, "Yu'e... Yu'e open the door, I'm back, I'm starving, give me something to eat" Then Yu'e's voice sounded and said leisurely: "You're back, there is no rice at home, only a few nests if you want to eat, give you heat"

The man shouted: "Didn't you still have half a catty of rice a few days ago, it's only been a few days, don't you take the rice to other men"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the old woman scold: "Half a catty of rice, no matter how much my mother and wife save food, where will there be it these days; you gamble outside all day long, and you don't care about the life or death of the family, it's really in vain for me to and urine, pull you so big, Ma San, you unfilial descendant who is not a weapon, see if I don't kill you today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a beating sound, thinking that the old woman was teaching her son something, and then she heard a "ouch" sound, and heard Yu'e crying: "Mother-in-law is so old, you don't take care of her and beat her, if she has a long and short, how can this family live" Thinking that it was in a hurry just now, the man pushed the old woman.

Zhang Yu knew in his heart when he heard this, that man was a man in the Ma family, and listening to the old woman's shout just now, it seemed that he was called Ma San.

Ma San lost money in the gambling house again, and owed a huge debt, and was beaten by someone before he came back, and he was holding back the fire in his heart, and when he went home, he heard that he had no food to eat, so he wanted to beat his mother-in-law and aunt to relieve the evil anger in his heart.

But he was beaten and scolded by his mother, and pushed his mother again, his heart was not bad, at this time, recalling the past, he was also a little unhappy in his heart, and came to the old woman to help her up and said, "Mother, are you okay?"

The old woman trembled and said: "If you continue to gamble like this, the old lady will be angry with you sooner or later" Suddenly the horse on the side neighed, he had not paid attention to it just now, and only then did he see a few horses tied to the fence not far away, and asked: "Yu'e, where did these horses come from in our yard?"

Yu'e said: "There are a few people who have stayed overnight today, and these horses are their mounts."

Ma San heard the words in his heart for a while, and actually had a bad idea, he took a few steps to the energetic horse, and was about to untie the reins, Yu'e exclaimed: "What are you doing?" As soon as the words fell, he heard Ma San fall to the ground with a "hey, hey".

Zhang Yu heard it in the back room and laughed and thought: "It must be the idea of beating rhubarb, but I was kicked by it" Sure enough, I heard Ma San shouting and scolding: "What a brute, I can't subdue you"

As he spoke, he was going to lead the yellow horse again, but before he could get close, he was kicked by the horse's hooves, and so many times, Ma San scolded: "What a beast has become a spirit."

Yu'e was already frightened and panicked, she was not scared of Ma San being kicked down by the horse, but remembered what the girl said today, she knew that today's guests were by no means ordinary people, if they really moved their horses, when the time came, it would not be their family of three to bear, and said: "What do you want to do, what do you want to do, those guests today are not easy to mess with, if you have bad intentions, when the time comes, you will have a long and short, how can we live?"

Ma San didn't seem to care, seeing that the yellow horse couldn't take away, so he went to lead another horse, the general horse is not as spiritual as the yellow horse, but it is very well-behaved, and was led by Ma San to the outside of the courtyard, Yu'e was a little anxious when she saw this, she didn't dare to shout anymore, for fear of waking up the people in the house, in fact, such a loud voice not to mention that the house is full of practitioners, that is, ordinary people who can't hear it.

Yu'e stepped forward to drag Ma San and wanted him to put down the horse rope, but no matter how strong she was, how could she compare to a man, she was pushed hard by Ma San and stumbled and fell far away, and immediately knocked out a hole in her forehead, Yu'e was anxious and annoyed, seeing Ma San leading the horse out but helpless.

When the mother and son saw this, they panicked and hugged each other and cried, only to hear a woman behind them sigh: "Hey, what do you want such a man to do with him?"

Yu'e turned her head in surprise and saw two women standing behind her, it was the two girls who were sleeping during the day, these two were Zhao Lingwei and Zhang Qing'er who went out when they heard the quarrel.

Seeing this, Yu'e hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Two girls, my man's conscience is not bad, but he is addicted to drugs again, the girl is merciful and spare him, I will help the girl chase the horse back" As she spoke, she wiped her tears and got up and ran out of the door.

Zhao Lingwei said with a smile: "Eldest sister, it's time for this, where do you go to find it, let's go and bring it back ourselves" As she spoke, she went out with Zhang Qing'er, only to hear the old woman behind her crying: "Girl, calm your anger, leave a way for my unfilial son."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw that the two of them were far away, they panicked and had no idea, so they had to sit on the ground in a daze, thinking: "If he really has a good guy, he will also take the blame for himself, and he can't complain about others."
