go away!Don't attack me!

Chapter 23

There was nothing to say all night, the next day the monks got up early, swept the snow in the yard, had breakfast, carried their burdens, put on their bamboo hats, and set off.

Liu Qin sent them a total of six bodyguards. Among the six bodyguards, two of them rode first on horseback, responsible for scouting the road and arranging accommodation in advance.

There were only four more people in the monk's team, and they were all on foot. This largely prevented people from being mistaken for witnesses. It can be seen that Liu Qin meant what he said this time.

Ordinarily, given Liu Qin's current situation, the most favorable solution is to use Yun Qi and his party to divert the attention of those people.

Although there are not many monks, their combat power is not bad. Using them as bait, on the one hand, they can covert Chen Cang and transfer witnesses back to Beijing; Well, the emperor can still bear it, but if he unscrupulously attacks the person he sent someone to invite seriously, and ruins his layout, it cannot be tolerated.

Although this plan was broken by Liu Yue in advance and Yun Qi knew about it, but in fact, if Liu Qin was determined to do this, the monks would have nothing to do.

As Chen Qun said, the usual method of these people is to beat them with a stick and then give them a sweet date. This is the sweet date Liu Qin gave.

Obviously the monks had nothing to do with this matter, but they still have to thank Liu Qin for giving up plotting against them.

Even though the jujube is his own, but he still wants to thank others for not taking it away, just like knowing that his life is his own, but he often wants to thank others for not killing him. In the final analysis, he only blames himself for being too weak.

After setting out on the road completely by themselves, the actions of the monks became "loose".

I accidentally tripped over a stone on the road, and I should have considered myself unlucky, but the monks had to dig it out of the roadbed, throw it far away, and then fill the road level before they were willing to go on the road.

There was an overturned vehicle on the side of the road, and many people shook their heads and passed by. The monks had to step forward to help, repair the carriage, and reload the goods before they were willing to go on the road.

The road was covered by snow falling from the hillside, and everyone climbed over it, but the monks insisted on stopping and shoveling all the snow before they were willing to go on the road.

On the road, someone pulled a cart full of firewood and struggled forward. Everyone was used to it, but the monks rushed forward, pulling forward and pushing, and did not agree to go on the road until they parted ways.

The single-plank bridge on the path is dangerous and slippery after the snow. Everyone crosses the bridge cautiously, or takes a detour, but the monks have to go across, widen and strengthen the small bridge, and nail wooden piles at both ends, and put a long bridge on top of the wooden piles. Stick, make a simple handrail, before you are willing to go on the road...

The attitudes of the accompanying guards changed from being incomprehensible to getting used to it, to helping, and then, like the monks, they habitually stepped forward to "fix" something "unpleasant" and it took five or six days. time.

So when they saw an old man sitting in the ditch beside the road, before the monks could move, they stepped forward and asked, "Old man, why are you sitting here?"

The old man's face was blue from the cold, his body was covered with snowflakes, his jaw and tongue were stiff, he couldn't speak very well, but he managed to smile a little, waved his hand to tell the guards to leave him alone, and said, "Little, little old man is tired from walking. , take shelter from the wind, and go home later.”

The guard smiled and said, "Is it because you are not happy to come out in this cold weather? Why, your son and daughter are disobedient? It's okay, let's take you home. If any son is disobedient, we will clean him up for you!"

He was joking, but the old man was furious, and said: "Who told you that my son is not filial? My son and wife are the most filial people in the world! Let's go! Go! If you don't go, I will Hit you with a cane!"

He was so cold that he was trembling and couldn't speak a complete sentence, but he was full of momentum and had a fierce look on his face.

The guard had good intentions but made no fun of it. It's just that he has been with this group of monks for a long time, and his temper has become better. He will not care about this poor old man. He shrugged and returned to the team.

However, the monks did not leave, because Yun Qi did not leave.Not only did he not leave, but he jumped down the dry ditch, squatted in front of the old man, took out a plain pancake from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "Let's take you home, okay?"

The old man waved the plain cake and knocked it down on the snow, and said angrily: "I told you that you don't need to worry about it! This old man is not a beggar! What do you want to eat? Get out, get out!"

Seeing that he was so ignorant of good and bad, the guards couldn't bear it no matter how good their temper was, and said, "Young Master Yun, since he..."

Yun Qi interrupted him by shaking his head, took out an ingot of four or five taels of silver from his bosom, put it on the old man's skinny hand, and asked as usual: "Shall we take you home?"

The old man stared blankly at the silver in the palm of his hand. The silver carried the body temperature of the young man, burning his palm hotly. After a while, the old man slowly bent his fingers and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

Two muddy tears were slowly brewing in the sunken eye sockets. The old man slowly stretched out his hand, picked up the plain cake on the ground, patted off the snow on it, and put it in his arms carefully. A crying smile: "Okay."

Such a condescending, insatiable villain's face should be despised and ridiculed, but facing the old man's old face and smiling with tears, no one could make a mockery.

Yun Qi didn't smile either, and greeted: "Come here and give me a hand."

The two guards jumped down first, one bent down, and the other supported the old man. Only now did they realize that the old man's legs were as thin as bones, and he couldn't use his strength at all. He had obviously been paralyzed for a long time.

It can be seen that what the old man said just now when he was tired from walking and rested for a while was all false.

But since his legs are paralyzed, why did he come here alone?

The monks were still ignorant, the guards were used to seeing the world after all, and recalling the old man's sudden anger just now, they already understood what was going on, some shook their heads and sighed, and some were ready to move with a pair of iron fists.

The old man who refused to go home just now became anxious now. He leaned on the guard's back and pointed to the road, yelling, "Quick! Quick!"

The old man's home is not close, and he walked three or four miles away from the main road before arriving at the place. The person carrying him has already changed two dials. When he was about to ask how far away, a hoarse and crying voice called A voice came: "Father! Daddy! Daddy! Where are you! Answer me, Daddy! Daddy..."

"I, my son!" The old man became excited and said tremblingly: "It's my son, my son! My son has come to look for me! Zhu! Zhu! Dad is here! Here!"

"father!"

An overjoyed voice came, and a man with tears all over his face ran wildly and appeared: "Father, it's great that you're all right, daddy...it's all my son's fault, it's all my son's fault..."

Seeing the man appear, even the guards who had clenched their fists and decided to beat him up gave up, not because he was crying so hard, but because there was a child in his arms, about one year old, thin and small , I still can't tell if it's a man or a woman, with my eyes closed, I don't know if I'm asleep, or I can't open my eyes because of the snow wind.

"Father is fine, it's fine... these nobles and masters saved dad, Zhu, hurry up and kowtow to your benefactor!"

The man knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed again and again. The monks hurriedly helped him up. The old man said: "By the way, what about E-niang, why didn't you see her? Where is she? Come on, go and tell her, we have I have money! I have money to buy food!"

The man wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Father, don't mention that vicious woman, I misread her before! I have already divorced her!"

"You..." The old man was taken aback for a moment, then patted his thigh and said, "You are confused! You are confused!"

He said again: "It's not that she is vicious, I forced her! It was me! I forced her!"

The man said in amazement: "Father!"

The old man wiped his tears and said: "There is really no way, if you are dragged down by me like this, none of you will survive! Go, go, let's go home, go home... Go back and stay with E Niang, let's have a good time in the future." Have a good time, huh?"

The man nodded again and again: "Hey! Hey!"

He hurriedly came over to take the old man from Puhong's back, and said, "Father, don't be a fool again! If you do anything good or bad, your son will die..."

The old man kept saying: "No more! No more!"

Pu Hong said: "Where is the benefactor's house? If it's far away, why don't we send it another way."

Before the man could reply, Yun Qi shook his head and said, "Let's go back."

So the group turned back to the official road, Pu Hong saw that Yun Qi was depressed, he sighed and said: "The people's livelihood is so difficult, the suffering is difficult, we can only do what we can, little uncle don't have to be too grumpy."

He said again: "Fortunately, my little master has the insight to avoid a tragedy, which is also a merit."

Yun Qi shook his head and did not speak, but a guard said hesitantly: "Mr. Yun...that E Niang...isn't it?"

Yun Qi gave an "um" and didn't speak.

Pu Hong was slightly stunned, then sighed softly, stopped, turned to the direction where the father and son left, clasped his hands together, and recited in a low voice: "Amitabha."

Although most of the other monks hadn't reacted yet, they followed suit, and finally started back on the road, and asked in no hurry: "Master Uncle, what did you just say about E Niang?"

Yun Qi took a pat on his bald head, and said angrily: "A monk should be pure-hearted and ascetic, where is there so much curiosity?"

Mo Ji pouted and said, "I haven't become a monk yet!"

But he didn't continue to ask, immersed in the joy of saving a life, and ran forward happily.

This is a bleak but not bizarre story, perhaps at this very moment, there are many places that are happening.

Although the world is relatively peaceful and there are no frequent wars, but in this era when most people can barely fill their stomachs, the people at the bottom eat light food when they are free and dry food when they are busy, and the family lives in peace until the new year. It is a great victory to put a round of grain into the warehouse.

Such a family is so fragile that it cannot withstand the slightest storm, or a serious illness, or a famine, is a catastrophe.

Yun Qi didn't know what happened to the father and son, but it was always the result of "can't survive".

If you can't survive, you have to make a choice, or sell your house or land, or sell your son or daughter, or the elderly who have lost the ability to work, walk into the snow by themselves...

That's why there was such a scene, the old man who was paralyzed on the bed tricked his son out and threatened his wife to drag him out to wait for death.

Although the daughter-in-law agreed, she refused to throw him into the wilderness, but took him to the side of the official road with occasional passers-by. Although the old man closed his eyes and waited for death, he still tried his best to maintain the reputation of his son and daughter-in-law. "The word, put it on their heads...

The old man has been paralyzed for a long time, but his clothes are thick, his face is clean, and he has no look of hunger. It can be seen that "sons and daughters-in-law are filial" in his mouth are not false. Since the daughter-in-law is really filial, how can he bear the "killing father-in-law" Such things, the neighbor's disdain, the husband's hatred, and the pain in her own heart... How can she survive?After pointing out the father-in-law's direction to her husband, the only way was to die.

Yun Qi was proficient in physiognomy, he could tell from the man's face that his wife had passed away, so he rejected Pu Hong's suggestion to send them back.

Thinking of the blow that the ecstatic father and son would suffer when they returned home, Yun Qi didn't dare to watch, and couldn't bear to let the young monks watch.

Yun Qi sometimes really doesn't understand, the life and death struggle of such a small person, and the succession of the throne and the struggle for power, which is bigger or smaller.

In the previous life, Gu Yaoqin used to comfort Liu Yue's loss by saying "I wish I was born in the emperor's family".

Yun Qi just wanted to curse: "Fuck you, wish you were born in the emperor's family!"

He turned his head and looked at the direction in which the father and son left - if they had arrived a little earlier, if the man had returned home a little later, maybe that virtuous and filial woman would have survived, and the father and son would not regret it Spend the rest of your life in moderation.

A family that was originally kind and harmonious can live a happy life with a harmonious and beautiful family.

It's just that there are many things in this world, once you miss it, you can never come back, let alone life.

Yun Qi's footsteps stopped suddenly, the blood on his face faded instantly, his inner strength was ready, and he, who was almost invulnerable to cold and heat, suddenly felt a chill piercing his bones and his heart.

In his previous life, he was robbed at the age of 13, and he left the village a few months later. Then, two years later, news came that the man died of illness.

How old was he then? 15 years old, or 16 years old?

How old is he now? 15 years old, or 16 years old?

Is he already sick?Could he be dead already?

don't want!don't want!don't don't!don't want!

He tried his best to drive away this thought, but the panic in his heart continued to spread.

Once life is missed, it will never come back again, Yun Qi.

Maybe we will never see each other again, Yun Qi.

No!

No!

I do not want!
