Chapter 4 Involvement
When the old lady heard this, she was overjoyed: "Okay, Xiaoyi." My husband and I once had a child, but we died young. You are truly a gift from heaven. We have a companion for the elderly. ”
"Mom, uh. Mother, don't worry. When my injuries healed, I immediately went out to find an errand. After earning money, honor your second elder. Huang Yi said from the bottom of his heart.
"Good, good. The old woman doesn't ask for too many good days, as long as she doesn't have to drink porridge every day in the future, she can eat white rice. I don't have to keep the eggs for rice, and if I can eat one or two occasionally, I'll be content. If I can see you again, marry and have children, the old woman will have nothing to ask for. The old lady was sincerely happy. It was as if happy days were just around the corner.
They were talking about Shenghuan, and there was a sound of running ahead. Huang Yi knew that this must be his unmasked father or father, who brought officers and soldiers to respond.
Sure enough, after the small door surrounded by bamboo felling was pushed open. rushed in a wave of official errands. I saw that a leading official looked around the small courtyard and then pointed to Huang Yi and asked the old man on the side, "You said the suspicious person, but he?"
The old man glanced at Huang Yi, and then replied respectfully: "Yes, this person was found by my wife in the field and brought back." It's just that the identity is suspicious, so please identify yourself. If it's really a Ju Li, you can take it away. As for the silver reward, you have the final say, my lord. ”
"Well, old man. Sensible!" The official nodded and came to Huang Yi, and asked, "Where is your ancestral home? If you can't tell, just grab it. ”
"I ......," Huang Yi thought of Beijing's name in the Tang Dynasty, and then replied: "I am from Youzhou and Fanyang County." Traveling to Yuhang with his parents, he wanted to go to Yangzhou to do some small business, but he met bandits on the way. My parents resisted alone to protect me first, but now I don't know whether I live or die. "Before talking, Huang Yi already knew that this belonged to a small mountain village in Yuhang County, called Cuishan Village. So Huang Yi blindly made up a bloody plot that he often saw on TV before, but his expression was sincere. After all, he really has parents. Then, I really can't see it.
I saw that the official was stunned when he heard the name of the place. He secretly said in his heart: "It's really a trouble to be so far away." ”
I don't know if it's too lazy to ask, or if it's too far away. I saw that the official turned around and slapped the old man. shouted: "If the matter is not clear, you will report to the official." What are you guilty of wasting the forces of the imperial court? Today you took out ten taels of silver, and the matter was revealed. Otherwise...... Hmph!"
The official didn't say what would happen otherwise, he just snorted twice. However, the frightened old man hurriedly knelt down: "Official, it's not like this. Besides, the imperial list issued by the imperial court also said that if there is a suspicious person, there will be a reward for reporting it to the local yamen. ”
The official looked at the old man kneeling in front of him with flirtatious eyes and said, "Lao Tzu said that he is not suspicious, but he is not suspicious. Do you want me to allocate troops to Youzhou to verify the facts? You and our officials all eat idle meals like you, just eat when they are full, and do nothing? Besides, the emperor list means that those who are found to be suspicious will be rewarded, and I don't think he is suspicious. Instead, I think you found someone to act and cheat money. Since you don't give money, take it away. ”
"Official, no, official. You see that I am an old couple, with no children and no daughters. How can it be so much as ten taels of silver? Please let us go!" At this time, the old lady also knelt forward, crawled in front of the official and begged.
"Hmph, it's not my responsibility to have any money or not. Come on, take the two of them away. The official roared, and a few officials hurriedly ran out from behind to take people.
"Wait a minute. At this time, Huang Yi couldn't sit still. Although he didn't know what the difference between the current cell was and the twenty-first century cell. But it was absolutely uncomfortable for these two old people to be caught.
"Let them go, I lied to you about what I said before. I'm not from Youzhou, if you want to arrest me, arrest me and go back for interrogation. He is two years old, and it is useless for you to catch him, and he has to take care of the food and vegetables. Catch me and go back to work as a coolie. Huang Yi felt that he was righteous.
"Hmph!" The official snorted coldly, and said angrily to Huang Yi: "I don't know whether I live or die, since I dare to deceive Lao Tzu." Someone, fix him for me, and the two old men will take him away. As he spoke, he pressed the two elders out of the house. I just walked to the door and turned back again.
"You've reminded me of something. I don't care what your relationship with them is, but look at how nervous you look. It's a lot of relationship. Give you three days, and bring ten taels of silver to the yamen to redeem me. Otherwise, starve to death. What kind of place are you in prison? Saying that, the official took people out of the door. Then two or three people rushed back and beat Huang Yi a lot.
Huang Yi got up from the ground with difficulty, ten taels of silver. That's the equivalent of 40,000 yuan now. Where to grab it for three days? Well, even if there is a place to grab it. With his current body, he was already seriously injured. Now that he has been beaten up again, who can rob him? Can he rob children of candy money? No, we must not just give up. can't even affect the second elder.
Huang Yi thought. dragged the seriously injured body and walked out, going door to door to borrow money. It's just a small village, how can there be so much money? Even if there are two or three merchants, ten taels of silver. That's a full 40,000 yuan, who would lend it to a stranger?
Huang Yi was disheartened and saw that the sky was about to get dark. Cuishan Village has no choice, so I have to wait for tomorrow to go to Yangzhou City to see if there is a chance.
Huang Yi returned to the small courtyard and looked around, thinking about it for a long time. I finally made up my mind. Use a large casserole to scoop up the few remaining millets and cook them. He even killed a chicken and stewed it with seven or eight eggs that had been stored for several days. He must replenish his energy and make himself recover faster, at least after dawn, he has the strength to run to Yangzhou. If you have the opportunity, three days is enough. In fact, people are very hungry, and if they don't consume, they won't necessarily starve to death even if they don't eat for four or five days.
As long as the person can be saved, he will be compensated in the future.
Make up your mind and finish your meal. Huang Yi didn't even take a shower, so he sat on the bed and massaged himself. This was taught to him by an instructor a long time ago, so that it would not only improve blood circulation, but also relax. It is especially effective for exhaustion and hard injuries, and today's beating is a hard injury.
Soon after, Huang Yi fell into a deep sleep. Fighting in the army, you should let yourself sleep to better replenish your physical strength. It's too simple for Huang Yi.
