Mystery - Xiaosheng Boy
On the same day, the energetic little brother ushered in the second guest.
On the official road, around the barrenness, you can see the heat wave under the sun, a carriage passing by, the horse is an old horse, the person is middle-aged, when waving the horse, it is already sweating profusely, the horse is too tired to work, even the body is cracked by the heat, you can see the viciousness of the sun.
"It's getting hotter and hotter. The middle-aged groom broke a few words and continued to wave his hand, and the old horse neighed weakly and ran faster.
"Old Wang, the old man still has some water here, let's drink some of it. An old voice came from inside the carriage, an old man's hand rolled up the curtain, half of the body out of the car, it was an old man, gray robe, wearing a square hat, how to see some doctors in general, at the moment smiled and handed out a water bag, the middle-aged groom shirked a few words, it was really hot and unbearable, his lips were chapped, and he took the water bag and poured it with satisfaction, wiped his sweat and returned the water bag to the old man, the old man didn't say anything, just smiled kindly, and simply sat outside the carriage to watch the scenery.
"Shen Lao, Rong Lao Wang, I will say a few more words, how good it is for you to be the imperial doctor in the palace, to be a doctor for the emperor, that is what many people dream of, this time to tell the old man to return to his hometown or something, it seems that it is not worth it." "Lao Wang is not worth it for the old man, he is an honest man, in this life he feels that the emperor is the sky, and he can dazzle the existence of the township at a glance, he is too honest, in this life he feels that it is good to enter the palace as an official, but he is a cropper, if it is not for the bad harvest in the field, he will drive a horse, he entered the Shen Mansion in the early years, acted as a groom, but also at ease, the Shen family is good to people, food and clothing are not worried, he is alone, but he also wants something, just live quietly in the next life.
"Lao Wang, you are a real honest person, you don't understand the dangers in the palace, everyone thinks that the place where the emperor lives is a fairyland on earth, but otherwise, it is more thrilling, and you will lose your head if you are not careful, and there are too many fights in the palace, maybe you will be hacked behind your back and lose your life, but the old man is quite comfortable and has no such troubles. Shen Lao didn't look over, glanced at the simple farmer, the coachman who came to pick him up halfway, shook his head with a wry smile, and said so shocked that Lao Wang was really startled, and then swore that he never wanted to enter the palace in his life, in this regard, Shen Lao smiled helplessly.
"Even if you don't talk about this, it's nothing, it's just that people are old, and they can't live in the palace, how good is it to go home to care for the elderly? Stay with your family more, enjoy a peaceful old age, and the old man's medical skills can also benefit the township for a few years, so it's enough, not to mention, there is a granddaughter who hasn't met, and the old man is ashamed." Speaking of Shen Lao's granddaughter, who entered the house in the early years, is to be a coachman for the little girl, cute and tight, more and more beautiful over the years, Lao Wang can't wait for her to be his daughter, but this thing is just to think about it, but in my heart I treat her as my daughter, every time this clever little girl gets into trouble, Lao Wang always fights against the black pot, but in the end she was found by her father and scolded, crying so sad that Lao Wang is sad.
"Your old granddaughter is so cute, more and more watery, what kind of idiom is that door-to-door proposal? In short, there are a lot of people!" Lao Wang couldn't speak, and he didn't blush, he couldn't read.
"There is an endless stream, and there are twenty-eight years old, it's time to get married, alas, it's really a family of adopted daughters. Shen Lao added, sighed lightly, his granddaughter is so old, Lao Wang smiled, and muttered a few words of comfort in his mouth, anyway, Shen Lao understood, both of them laughed, just turned their heads, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, Shen Lao laughed at himself slightly, remembering that back then, it was also this situation, shook his head, and then the whole person was stunned.
"Lao Wang, stop!" Shen Lao hurriedly spoke, looking anxious, Lao Wang didn't care about doubts, directly pulled the stiff rope in his hand, the old horse's front hooves raised and neighed, Shen Lao Wang almost fell to the ground in the car, at the moment his head was a little dizzy, but he couldn't take care of it, Shen Lao got out of the car directly, and walked towards the side of the road, Lao Wang then looked at it, and then he was shocked in his heart, there was a person lying there.
"Huh?" Shen Lao approached, and Lao Wang let out a light sigh at the same time, looking at the person in front of him, his eyes were full of strangeness, the person in front of him was a teenager, about sixteen or seventeen years old, a hair that was so short that Shen Lao and Lao Wang frowned, the body was skinny, and the parents were affected by it, in Shen Lao's opinion, he was ethical, but looking at him in a strange costume, he was in a coma at the moment, his lips were chapped, and his face was pale to the extreme, Shen Lao was still a doctor in essence, and he looked at the young man in front of him at this moment, and he was dehydrated.
"Lao Wang, you and I will work together to move him to the carriage. Shen Lao hurriedly spoke, save people's lives, win the seventh-level floating slaughter, practice medicine to save people, how to see people nonsense, at this moment regardless of this young man's weirdness, Lao Wang has no nonsense, saving people is important, the two of them worked together to move the young man to the car, Shen Lao has a medical box in the car, at this moment took out a pack of acupuncture, took out the special water to disinfect and skillfully pierced a few acupuncture points on the top of the young man's head, took it out after a while, the young man still had no signs of waking up, Shen Lao frowned slightly, put away the acupuncture, took out the water bag and gently poured it into the young man's mouth, his throat moved slightly and drank it, and then took the water and dipped it in a clean spare shirt, and gently wiped the young man's faceγ
Immediately revealing the young man's delicate face, Shen Lao breathed a sigh of relief, and even the old Wang who was watching from the side followed his heart, and he didn't dare to come out, and he was relieved at the moment.
"Elder Shen, this young man..."
"It's no big deal, let's take it home first, I can't wake up in three or four days, so let's keep going." Shen Lao cut off Lao Wang's words, Lao Wang didn't care, since there was no big problem, Lao Wang was relieved, originally puzzled about the appearance of this young man, but Shen Lao didn't say that he didn't want to ask, so he answered at this moment and drove forward again.
"This kid..."Shen Lao looked at it carefully, muttered for a moment, and then stopped thinking about it, just saved a person, and the doctor was benevolent.
Time flickered, at night, the temperature really became cooler, so that Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief, because it was inconvenient to rush at night, so Lao Wang did not continue to hurry, but stopped in a forest, lit a fire, the carriage stopped aside, Lao Wang and Shen Lao sat by the fire, Lao Wang held a few steamed buns in his hand and roasted, it was dinner, this way came over.
"Elder Shen, what do you think? Lao Wang asked, handed Shen Lao two baked steamed buns by the way, picked them up in his hand and took a bite, and talked about the questions he wanted to ask during the day.
"You look pretty good, Lao Wang, what do you say is like being an old husband and grandson-in-law?" Shen Lao Fuxu took the two roasted steamed buns, and made an unprecedented joke for the first time along the way, Lao Wang almost squirted out a mouthful of steamed buns, and swallowed them at this moment.
"Lao Wang, I don't agree to a hundred...", vague, probably choked, anyway, Shen Lao heard it, and handed the water bag to Lao Wang with a smile, Lao Wang poured it violently, and gasped.
"Joke and laugh, how can the old man be willing to harm his granddaughter, as for this little brother... The old man can't say why, but since he saved him, he is worthy of the name of a doctor if he is a good person to the end. β
Shen Lao took a bite of the steamed bun and explained slowly, Lao Wang thought about it, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he had to close his mouth, look at the fire, and slowly add materials, Shen Lao didn't care, don't look over his head and look at the carriage, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and then slowly ate the dinner.
"Elder Shen, I'm afraid I can get home at noon tomorrow, rest early, I'll keep vigil. β
I don't know how long it took for Lao Wang to speak slowly, Shen Lao nodded, and just slept on the ground with his head up, which hurt the old bones, but he endured it.
There was nothing to say all night, it was early in the morning, Shen Lao was used to getting up early, the sky was just dawning, waking up Lao Wang, who didn't know when he was asleep, Lao Wang smiled apologetically, Shen Lao didn't care, and ordered to continue on the road.
........................
The weather was cool in the early morning, the sun in the sky was not as hot as at noon, and the breeze swept across the earth, and it was a large rice field, verdant and verdant, and some ears of rice were full and drooping.
In front of it, a city appeared in sight, with a high bluestone city wall, a suspension bridge at the city gate, and a moat surrounding, which can be regarded as a city with high specifications. Especially on the head of the city, two big characters that enter the stone seven points,
- Tieyun.
At this moment, it is early in the morning, which is a good festival for farmers, but at this moment, there are a bunch of people gathered at the gate of the city. Four large sedan chairs were on both sides, and most of the people who came were servants, only three people stood in front of them, dressed gorgeously, a middle-aged couple, and a girl stood in the middle. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is a family.
The middle-aged couple has dignified robes and blue and blue. Although both of them have some subtle wrinkles on their faces, the middle-aged man is still high-spirited, and the middle-aged woman is also not inferior to her youth, which can be seen that the two of them can be described as talented and beautiful back then. But the girl in the middle, beautiful as a flower, with a pair of clear big eyes, a delicate cherry mouth, and a delicate and small nose, you can imagine her cute appearance when she wrinkles her nose. A snow-white dress with a knot at the corner of the skirt.
"Daddy, mother, is grandpa really here today?" the girl suddenly pouted, with a strange expression, and tugged at the sleeve of the middle-aged woman's shirt.
"Ling'er, don't make trouble, wait a while. It was her father who spoke, and his voice revealed the calmness of a middle-aged man. For children, it seems to be a little scary, Ling'er hid behind her mother in a stupid way, only showing her head and not daring to speak.
"Silly girl, grandpa will definitely be here today. Ling'er Niang turned her head to look at her daughter, touched her head with a smile and said softly.
"Oh. Ling'er closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of her mother's palm.
"It's coming!"
I don't know which family said it, and everyone looked at the road on the other side of the forest, and a carriage slowly drove by. Ling'er opened her eyes, looked at it, smiled happily, and ran towards the carriage away from her mother, her mother and her father looked at each other, and both smiled and shook their heads. This girl is so naughty.
"Old Shen, we're home. The moment he drove out of the forest, a city was displayed in front of the coachman, and in the carriage, the curtain was lifted, and an old man wearing a square hat poked his head out, it was Shen Lao. Looking at the city wall in the distance, Shen Lao laughed, Lao Wang also smiled, and when he looked back at the road, he was suddenly stunned.
"Old Shen, your granddaughter is here to pick you up. Lao Wang laughed, in front of the carriage, a beautiful girl was trotting over here, when Shen Lao heard it, he was too excited, and the whole person stood out of the carriage and looked at the girl running over in a daze. Then he burst out laughing.
"Grandpa Wang!" Ling'er waved her hand and trotted over, with a youthful smile on her face, and the whole feeling of looking very flattering, was screaming, and suddenly saw that there was an old man behind her Grandpa Wang.
"Grandpa?" Ling'er was stunned for a moment, running a little slowly, but the next moment was replaced by excitement.
"Grandpa!" Ling'er ran faster, calling Grandpa with a smile, waving her little hands harder. Although she had never seen her grandfather, she had come with Grandpa Wang, and she couldn't think of going anywhere else except her grandfather, and when she saw the old man wearing a square hat, she always felt very close.
Shen Lao didn't want to be happy here, the carriage stopped a few times, and Ling'er who trotted over came up.
"Ling'er, grandpa is back. Shen Lao jumped out of the carriage with a kind smile on his face, and Ling'er was also jumping up and hugging Shen Lao, Shen Lao laughed, and even Lao Wang was happy.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Wang, Ling'er has been waiting for a long time. Ling'er let go of Shen Lao, took a few steps back, and pouted at Shen Lao and Lao Wang, with an unhappy look.
"It's grandpa's fault, it's too bumpy on the road, so let your grandpa Wang drive slowly. However, Grandpa and your Grandpa Wang have prepared gifts for you. Shen Lao looked at the granddaughter in front of him and said with a smile.
"Really?" Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then became excited, and ran to Lao Wang to grab Lao Wang's hand.
"Really, Grandpa Wang, you won't join forces with Grandpa to lie to me, right?" Ling'er stared at Lao Wang with big eyes, and Lao Wang couldn't bear it.
"Really, really girl, stay away from the horse, this horse is not very good-tempered. Lao Wang laughed and snorted, the horse just raised his feet to catch his breath, so frightened that Ling'er fled backwards, hid behind Shen Lao and stuck out his tongue at the horse, that appearance was really flattering, and he couldn't afford to lose his temper.
"It's the granddaughter of the old man. Shen Lao sighed in his heart, and then looked at Ling'er beside him.
"There must be gifts, but let's go home first, okay?" Shen Lao said softly, and Ling'er pouted, a little dissatisfied. When she looked up and saw her father and mother who had arrived in the distance, she panicked and nodded vigorously. provoked Shen Lao and Lao Wang to laugh.
"Daddy, the boy has come to wash the dust for Daddy. β
Approaching, a group of family members, four large sedan chairs were put aside, and some of them blew suona. It was Ling'er's father who spoke, and he and his wife were respectfully worshipping their father at this moment.
When Shen Lao saw this lineup, he suddenly frowned, then looked at Ling'er and sighed.
"Tuo'er, don't be like this in the future, the old man doesn't like this. The old man stopped sitting in the sedan chair. Shen Lao shook his head and said, he was very opposed to extravagance and waste, even if it was okay, he was still not used to it. Suona came to an abrupt end.
"But Daddyβ"
"The old man still has to take care of the little brother in the carriage, you guys will lead the dust in front first, is this okay?" Shen Lao said calmly, without any expression on his face, turned around and walked to the carriage and stepped on. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Ling'er again.
"Do you want Ling'er to be together?" Shen Lao smiled and said softly, Ling'er responded and ran directly to Shen Lao's side to get into the carriage together.
"The return trip. Ling'er's father got up silently and said, accompanied by Ling'er's mother, sat in a sedan chair, a group of people, four sedan chairs at the beginning, and the carriage ended.
In the carriage, Shen Lao grabbed the hand of the strange young man who was rescued on the road and checked his pulse, at this moment the young man's face was much better, and after a long time, Shen Lao let go of the young man's hand and nodded slightly.
"Grandpa, who is he?" On the side, Ling'er supported her chin with her right hand, her elbow rested on her knee, and a finger with her left hand gently touched the young man's face, the young man's strange costume made her very curious, and that short hair, ordinary people would not do this at all.
"Grandpa rescued a person on the road, he fainted on the side of the road at the time, grandpa is a doctor, and he can't be regarded as invisible. Shen Lao raised his hand and stroked his beard and looked at the young man quietly.
"He-he's okay, is he?" Ling'er withdrew her hand and put her hands on her cheeks, looking directly at the young man.
"Looks like it's time to wake up after two or three days of sleep. Shen Lao said with a smile, fumbled to the side, picked up a water bag and took a sip of water.
"What a strange person. Ling'er suddenly frowned and muttered, but her eyes didn't leave the young man, and she looked at the young man's face like this for a long time. Suddenly, as a girl's intuition, she looked up and found that Shen Lao was looking at her with a smile, Ling'er blushed, made a grimace at Shen Lao, and turned her head away from looking at the unconscious young man.
Outside the carriage, a group of people walked on a street in the city, with four large sedan chairs in front, and the people on the side of the road looked at this group.
"This team belongs to the Shen family, so it looks like Old Man Shen has resigned and returned home. β
Old man Shen is back, he was a miracle doctor back then. β
"Chief Imperial Physician Shen Fangwu Shen, Old Man Shen, he can be regarded as back. β
β......β
The pedestrians on both sides of the road were discussing, most of them praised Shen Lao, Shen Lao in the carriage did not have any expression, but Ling'er was excited, she actually had such a powerful grandfather.
"Girl, you have to be calm, no matter what the voice around you is, you must do your own thing seriously. Do you know?" Shen Lao in the carriage said with a smile, Ling'er looked happy, as if she had been smiling since she saw Shen Lao, and now her eyes were narrowed into a slit.
"Got it, grandpa. Ling'er responded with a smile, glanced to the side inadvertently, and then quickly shifted his gaze, and Shen Lao looked at it and smiled without saying a word.
The group walked for nearly a quarter of an hour, and finally came to the door of a compound, in front of the door two stone lions majestic, four pillars propped up the front yard gate, there were four big red lanterns hanging on it, and the two unicorns carved on the door were lifelike.
This is the big family.
Due to the inconvenience of the carriage to go to the front door, Shen Lao got out of the carriage in front of the door, looking at the familiar front yard of the gate, Shen Lao was stunned.
"The Shen family is ranked among the ancestors, and the unfilial descendant Shen Fangwu returned home today. Shen Lao's eyes moistened, looked at the familiar door, and knelt down gently, this kneeling alarmed everyone.
"Daddy!"
"Grandpa!"
Ling'er's father and Ling'er hurriedly ran over, Ling'er's father and mother helped up the old man who was kneeling on the ground, Ling'er was anxious on the side, but couldn't do anything.
"Just take it as a little guilt for the old man who has returned home for a long time. Shen Lao shook his head slightly, didn't let Ling'er's father and mother support him, and walked to the gate of the front yard step by step, every step was ordinary, but when it fell in Shen Lao's heart, he knew how heavy it was. Just as Shen Lao was about to step into the door, he paused.
"Go and settle that boy. Shen Lao added, without looking back, and stepped into the door.
..................
Wind and sunshine form a heat wave that sweeps across the land. It's a plain, and everything is so normal, only the picture is a little blurry, only the distant horizon remains, and it looks complete at this time.
"Brother!" a little girl's immature voice suddenly came, in the darkness, the middle turned into a slit, and then slowly opened, revealing that everything in front of her was blurred, and only the outline of a child was seen, as if she was laughing.
"Hmm......" sat up blankly, looking blurry in a daze.
"Mommy's coming. A delightful voice rang out.
Blurry only saw that the figure in front of her seemed to stretch out her hand and pull herself, but she didn't have the strength, no matter how the little figure couldn't pull herself, she seemed to pout, and then the silhouette became farther and farther away. At this moment, the blur in front of me suddenly changed, as if it was rising into the air. And it was becoming clearer, higher and higher, clearer and clearer, untilβhe saw!
He looked at everything in a daze, this was a familiar plain. At the bottom, it was himself! To be precise, when he was a child, when Shen Hao was a child!
"This ...... This!?" At this moment, Shen Hao was extremely shocked in his heart, he panicked, and looked at the vague figure before him in the twilight, it was his sister when he was a child, and in the distance, there was a middle-aged woman smiling, it was his mother.
"What the hell am I ββ!" Shen Hao's head suddenly swelled and ached, and a feeling of being torn was clearly reflected in his perception, and the wind became hotter.
"Brother. An ethereal voice came out at dusk, a gust of wind took away the heat, Shen Hao's torn and swollen head turned calm at this moment, but his heart would not be calm. Because he was familiar with that voice, at this moment, Shen Hao suddenly raised his head.
"Remember to go home!"
In front of her, a young girl suddenly smiled at Shen Hao and said, Shen Hao's eyes widened, and his expression showed pain. At this moment, the scene in front of Shen Hao's eyes shattered, and the world collapsed with a bang!
"Ahβββ!!!!h
