Chapter 223: Zhang Xiaohua's Crisis
The two girls rescued in the woods were traveling in carriages. I guess they were at least accompanied by coachmen before the robbers. There was no whereabouts of coachmen in the woods and no corpses were seen. I guess they had gone first. At this time, the groom went home to report the news and came to save people with the help of the government. It was also expected that.
However, this time was delayed. If it weren't for Zhang Xiaohua and others, the girl's fate would be miserable.
When Zhang Xiaohua had this idea, she deliberately or unintentionally distanced herself from the carriage.
That is, no one who has just robbed the silver in his pocket would want to see these people, even those who are brave enough to do justice.
Although Zhang Xiaohu didn't understand what Zhang Xiaohua meant, he gradually slowed down his horse speed.
Sure enough, the two women on the carriage could hear the sound, and looked up and looked at it. The more they looked, the more they were surprised. Finally, when they recognized it carefully, the two women stood on the carriage, waving to the crowd that rushed over, regardless of whether their clothes were neat.
After waiting for the crowd to enter, I could see clearly that first there was a man from the government riding a horse, with a tall figure, holding a simple knife in his hand, and then two white-haired old men with bright clothes, full of surprise. They were also sitting on the horse, surrounded by three or four young men riding horses with weapons. Behind, there were seven or eight unhooked officers and ten farmers holding rakes and sickles.
The leading official was also sharp-eyed. He saw two women in the carriage waved and immediately led everyone to the front of him. The old man had tears in his eyes before he arrived, and shouted, "Feng'er, my son." The other trembled his lips and couldn't speak.
When the two girls saw their relatives, they could no longer help themselves and called their father, crying. When the two old men got off the horse, they each looked for their father, threw themselves into their arms, and cried bitterly.
Those yamen runners and helpers who followed him immediately looked professional and surrounded the carriage and were on guard with weapons. They seemed to be able to fight the abominable bandits at any time.
The leading official even drew out a simple knife and strolled around, looking at this and that from time to time, trying to find the traces of the bandits from the people around him.
The two women cried in a dark and the road was a little blocked. They wanted to come in a while because they watched the excitement. However, the man in the government was so arrogant that he could make people live a life, which avoided the big blockage on the official road. It was getting late at this time, and the head of the government had been wandering for a long time, and there was no clue. It was very boring. Then he got off the horse and said to the miserable father and daughter of the two teams: "Li Gao, two daughters, have found their two daughters, it is not a big deal to just cry here. Even if you ask about something, it is not convenient to involve the girl's innocence. Why not go home first, reunite your relatives first, ask the reason carefully, and then make a decision?"
The two old men wiped their tears and said it was very good. Then they packed up the horse and got on the car. The yamen runners had already pulled the driver who was hired by the carriage aside and changed his own people. The driver smiled and said, "The eldest son, the young man just drank tea in the tea shed. He was hired by a young man riding a horse for them to drive the carriage. Now you are all here, so the young man should go back to the tea shed for tea."
"Bird?" The head of the troupe heard this and looked around. There were no young men riding horses on the road that was not empty. After thinking about it carefully, there were still memorable memories. When I first arrived, there were indeed two horse riders behind the carriage, but I didn't pay attention at that time, so I naturally didn't see it. Are they bandits?
At this time, the two girls also came to their senses. They were just concerned about venting their grievances, but they forgot their saviors. When they looked for them again, there was no trace? The two had to make up their minds and wait until they got home before talking.
The boy could not be found, and the head of the team said to the driver: "You can't find the witness. You are the only witness except the two girls. You can go with us. You can stop talking now, but I can pass on every word you say as a certificate to our magistrate."
"Oh my God~ Bantou, Lord Qingtian, I'm wronged. I'm just greedy for a penny and helping others in my arms. I'm just rushing to drive the car. It's just a cup of tea from the time I drove the car here. Have you taken me away? I've been law-abiding all my life and have never been to the yamen."
"Haha, look at what you said, our yamen is an advanced work unit in our Lu Town. We have always followed the policy of 'We will never let go of a bad person, but we will never wrongly accuse a good person'. Don't worry. Besides, with your driving skills, you can make a fortune with a cup of tea. Who believes it? I'd better cooperate with our investigation and go to the yamen to have tea first."
Without saying anything, the yamen runners took the car driver to Lu Town with a arrogant attitude. Everyone who rescued the two girls was also in a happy mood. The kindness was greatly satisfied. They followed them back with sickles, hoes, etc.
Only two girls turned back from time to time, as if they wanted to find the lay disciples of Dalin Temple on the gradually dark road.
In fact, as early as the two girls stood up and waved to the old man in the crowd, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu stopped. They didn't mind the heroes that were cheered by everyone, their self-esteem was satisfied, and they didn't mind giving Xie Yi some. However, the intervention of the government officials was a bit of a headache. These people always appeared at the end of the matter, and they always came out when they made great achievements. But they made great achievements in a legitimate way, and even justifiedly invited you to the yamen for tea, and justifiedly checked your three generations, and justifiedly interpreted your hero's behavior as a natural reaction of despicable psychology. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu retreated, and just as the yamen runners and townsmen surrounded the carriage, the two urged the horse to gallop past them.
Nonsense, it’s getting darker now. If you don’t rush to travel, you may not be able to rush back to Guozhuang before it gets dark at night.
The two rode their horses along the main road and headed straight to Lu Town. When they almost arrived at the town, they turned north. They were really familiar with the road to Guozhuang.
Along the way, neither of them spoke. Zhang Xiaohu did not ask why Zhang Xiaohua dressed up as a lay disciple of Dalin Temple, nor why he robbed the bandits of money, nor why he didn't go up to claim the honor of bravery. It was not just because Zhang Xiaohu felt that his younger brother was gradually mature and was doing things that he could not do. He gradually had his own care and had gradually changed from the role of protector to the person being protected or supporting role.
The most important thing is that neither of these two brothers wants to speak, and they are experiencing the feeling of returning home carefully. This rich feeling of being homesick, which envelops the whole body and mind.
Being close to home is the feeling of every wanderer. The closer you are to home, the more timid you are.
The road from Pingyang City to Lu Town just now was not familiar. When I went home, I was just a desire. But now I walked on a familiar road. In a moment, I was indescribable. Mass was scattered throughout my body and mind. I felt lazy and didn't want to move, and I felt at ease and comfort. Even the true energy in Zhang Xiaohua's meridians didn't want to flow. When Zhang Xiaohua stepped on this familiar road, his involuntary feeling immediately raised his mood and felt quite in his heart.
The sun in the west has set, leaving only a touch of bright red in the sky, faint, vague, and the whole earth is dim, and the green sky in the east has already flashed a few stars. I was blinking and looking at Zhang Xiaohua's way home.
The ancients said: Old ox also understands the value of time, and he will work hard without whipping.
The majestic horse also knew that it seemed that the two of them had returned home like arrows. When the horse arrived on this avenue, it naturally ran faster than before. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know what the second brother felt. He just thought, and didn't know what the family would look like? His parents must be old. They haven't seen each other for two years. They are worried at home. The hair must have turned whiter and the wrinkles on their faces. Where is the eldest brother? He is the only one at home who is happy and does a lot of work. He won't be too tired to bend his waist at a young age, right?
There is also my sister-in-law, who used to be a jass girl in a small family. She married into Guozhuang and became a farmer's wife. She probably had thick hands and her face might not be as fair as before. Alas, the family was all dependent on digging food from the soil, so can it be okay if she didn't go to the ground? I don't know if my sister-in-law is used to it because of the wind and rain.
By the way, Mr. Liu, I don’t know if he was used to living in Guozhuang. When he left by himself, he saw that he was very energetic and hadn’t seen him for two years, so he was in good health.
I don’t know if the chickens, ducklings, and big fat pigs at home are fine. Well, I asked my mother to kill a fat pig. I haven’t eaten the braised pork made by my mother for a long time. How I miss it!
Also, my grandmother’s grave has never burned incense to her. Is it good that her old man is in a foreign land? Can you see her longing?
Before he could see, Zhang Xiaohua felt turbulent, and thoughts were everywhere, and all kinds of thoughts came one after another. The lazy true energy suddenly became stimulating again and suddenly flowed rapidly. Zhang Xiaohua didn't notice it in a daze and gradually lost control.
If we talk about this path of cultivation, it is about balance. Zhang Xiaohua has always been slow in entering the country. The perception of true qi and the cultivation of induced qi are extremely slow. Of course, it is not that Zhang Xiaohua does not work hard, but the vitality in this world is originally limited, so how can he catch up with Zhang Xiaohua's use?
