Chapter 774: It’s hard to recite every family’s scriptures
The winter snow has passed and grass and trees are growing in spring.
Because Xinliuzhou is located in the north, spring comes later than in the south. Fortunately, after the thin snow stopped flying, there was no snow on the ground, making it much easier to walk.
The northern official road was most frequently used in the Daliang Dynasty. After all, for more than two hundred years, the Daliang Dynasty was constantly fighting against the demon clan and transporting military supplies. It was inevitable to travel on the official road again and again. In this way, no matter how good the official road was,
It will inevitably be damaged.
But this official road in the north was indeed the best official road in the Liang Dynasty.
Allocating funds for repairs of the beams every year will never allow military supplies and grain and grass to be unavailable when a war begins.
Because this official road is wider than other official roads in Daliang, there is less congestion on the official road for caravans passing by.
Now there is a group of people going from north to south. There are about twenty carriages in the group. Each carriage is pulled by two horses, but even so, they are not walking very fast.
You can see how heavy the cargo on that carriage was.
On both sides of the carriage, there were more than 20 people armed with swords accompanying them.
At the front of the team were two carriages, both of which were not ordinary trucks. The driver was tall, and he exhaled in a very orderly manner. At first glance, he was a practicing practitioner who had been practicing for many years.
This group of people didn't look like a caravan at all, but more like a wealthy family moving south.
The convoy traveled for half a day. A middle-aged man who was leading the escort rode up to the second carriage. He whispered something and then waved. The grooms understood, then they pulled the reins and drove the carriage out of the official road.
, stopped temporarily on a piece of grass.
The two leading carriages stopped directly by the river. After the carriages stopped,
Only then came out of the second carriage a woman who was still charming.
The woman appears to be only forty years old, but her shape has been maintained very well. There is no saying that she has gained weight in middle age. However, although her waist is not as slender as that of ordinary young women, it is not thick either.
Although the waist is not very impressive, the beauty of this woman is not comparable to that of ordinary women.
The woman only wears light makeup, but it can still be seen from her eyebrows that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.
After stepping out of the carriage, the woman whispered: "Let's rest here tonight."
After saying this, the woman approached the river and sat on the stone alone.
The rest of the guards were busy, picking up dry branches everywhere to prepare for the night. Some people also started to prepare dinner. After a while, there was only a little smoke by the river.
"ah!"
An exclamation suddenly sounded, breaking the calm. It was a cook who fell down by the river. The rice basin in her hand had fallen. The snow-white rice was scattered on the river bank, and some even spilled on the bottom of the river, attracting some swimming fish.
.
The middle-aged man in the lead hurried to the river to check, and saw only a touch of blood flowing downwards mixed with the river water on the upstream side.
The cook must have been washing rice here when she saw this scene, so she was very frightened.
The middle-aged man raised his head, looked upstream, and noticed that there seemed to be a figure next to a big rock not far away.
"What's wrong?"
The woman asked not far away.
"Mistress, it seems there is a corpse in the river."
The middle-aged man hesitated a little, but he still spoke. Although he didn't see it clearly, his guess at this moment was pretty close.
"It's pitiful to die in the wilderness. You take two people to remove the corpse."
Let’s bury his body so that he can rest peacefully in his grave so that his soul will not have anything to rely on.”
The woman frowned and spoke quickly. It has been the custom of the common people for many years to be buried in peace. Although she was a stranger to that person, the woman was also kind-hearted.
After the middle-aged man nodded, he immediately called his companions to walk upstream. The river was not shallow, and the river was wide. If it hadn't been for the accumulation of large rocks here, it is estimated that the corpse in front of him would have been washed downstream.
Already.
The two waded through the water and carried the body to the shore. The middle-aged man glanced at the straight knife that the body was holding tightly until death. Looking at the cold blade, he couldn't help but subconsciously said: "What a knife."
Another person couldn't help but laugh and said: "Old Liu, it's still like this. I'm more excited when I see a good knife than a beautiful girl. How about staying?"
"No, although I love knives, I don't want them all. Let's bury them with him. I guess he liked them very much when he was alive."
While the middle-aged man was talking, he looked at the corpse and realized that the corpse was actually that of a young man, less than thirty years old.
"It's a pity that he died unexpectedly at such a young age."
The middle-aged man looked at the young man's torn clothes and saw that there were many claw marks on it that were deeply visible. He frowned and sighed: "It must be that he encountered some monster that he couldn't deal with."
Speaking of this, he also sighed. The evil plague in the Liang Dynasty has been unable to be eradicated for more than two hundred years, and the people above and below have suffered greatly from it.
"You go over there and dig a hole, and I'll find some clothes for him to change into. After all, we want him to be buried decently."
The middle-aged man sighed and lowered his head to undress the young corpse.
shirt, but he quickly blinked, because after his palm touched the other person's body, he realized that the other person still had a heartbeat.
"Mother, the person is not dead yet!"
…
…
Night falls.
A group of people gathered around the campfire. The men ate dry food, chatted a lot of dirty things, and laughed from time to time.
But there was also a girl among them who listened to these dirty words with relish.
That is the woman's daughter.
But compared to ordinary parents, women don't care that their daughters listen to these things that ordinary parents regard as scourges.
The woman was on the other side with a group of cooks and the like, and the young body, oh, no, the seriously injured young man, was lying next to the bonfire.
Although the straight knife in his hand was firmly grasped by him, several people worked together to break it open, and finally placed it in the opponent's scabbard without touching his knife.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, then said softly after a moment: "Mother, this person is seriously injured. His life is hanging by a thread right now. I'm afraid he will die soon. We really have to..."
The woman glanced at the man, then at the young man with his eyes closed tightly, shook his head and said: "Since he is not dead, just take him with you on the road. As for whether he can go to the capital of gods alive, we can only
Just leave it to fate."
"There are also some hemostatic drugs, let's give him some. It's a pity for him to be so young."
The woman sighed and felt a little regretful. The young man in front of her looked young no matter how young she was. There should be many years left in her good life. It would be really regrettable if she really died at this moment.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and finally just nodded.
"By the way, move him to my carriage and walk slower from now on.
, with less bumps, maybe he could survive."
The woman thought for a while and then spoke.
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "No, Mistress. If such a strange man enters Mistress' carriage, Mistress' honor may be damaged. As for slowing down, I'm afraid it's not possible. The Wang family may have come to their senses by now. If that happens,
Chase, let’s…”
The middle-aged man was very worried. He had been working as a nurse in this woman's house for more than ten years, and he was very loyal. This time they moved their family from Xinliuzhou to Shendu, which was out of necessity.
If not, who would want to leave their homeland?
The woman laughed at herself, "Who still recognizes me in the city of God? As for reputation, my dead husband was born with a good heart and never doubted me. The past twenty years have been like this, how could he do it now?
Getting angry over these little things."
The middle-aged man said softly: "My mistress has suffered a lot these past two years."
"What are you talking about? If it weren't for your help, this family would have been broken up a long time ago. If you want to suffer, it's you who suffer."
The woman rubbed her brow, feeling a little tired.
The middle-aged man wanted to say something else, but when he finally opened his mouth, he just sighed.
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite, but he sincerely felt that the mistress and family in front of him had obtained the most difficult sutras to recite.
Then he asked someone to carry the young man into the carriage, and the woman asked someone to bring a thick quilt and cover the young man. She looked at his face with his eyes closed and fell into deep thought.
My husband was originally a scholar. In his early years, he only liked poetry and songs. Several brothers in his family and others went to the Great Wall in the north and died there in the end, leaving him alone.
The husband continued the relationship alone, but after marrying himself, he somehow chose to put down his poetry manuscript and choose to join the army in the north. After several wars in the past few years, he was lucky enough to survive.
But who would have thought that he would end up on the battlefield in the last victory in recent years.
Perhaps this victory was the last comfort for her.
Sometimes the woman also thinks that she has not been able to give birth to a son for her husband in these years, and she has not been able to continue the incense of his family.
Every time she thought about this, the woman actually blamed herself.
The woman who was thinking about these things alone, for some reason, sat alone until dawn, waiting for the middle-aged man outside to speak. Then she came back to her senses, glanced at the young man, and then said softly: "
Let’s go.”
The motorcade continues its journey, and there is still a lot of time left before the city of God.
After the convoy traveled for a few more days, the middle-aged man changed the young man's dressing every day. Although there was no improvement, he was surprised to find that the young man had never died and was still hanging on to his last breath.
This actually made the middle-aged man marvel. He felt that the young man had a tough life. If he kept going like this, he might be able to save his life by finding a famous doctor when he got to Shendu.
It was dusk again that day, and the motorcade once again stopped at a grassland not far from the official road. After lighting a bonfire, a group of men sat together and continued chatting. The girl just said something to her mother, and then
Sitting next to his uncles, he took out a piece of hard biscuit from his pocket, took a bite, and asked vaguely: "Yesterday..."
Where are you talking about?"
A man smiled and said: "Miss, our guardian envoy from yesterday to now is a young warrior. He is not very old. I'm afraid he is not much older than Miss."
The girl nodded, remembering what happened yesterday, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, after yesterday, what did the guardian envoy do..."
"There are many things to mention. In the early years when the guardian envoy was just starting out, he had already won the martial arts test at the Wanliu Society. You know, I, the Liang Dynasty, had been established for more than 200 years, but I had never won the first place in the martial arts test.
Such things, as for what happened later, the guardian envoy was even more amazing. He walked along and did many things. Speaking of which, I heard a few days ago that the guardian envoy killed several great Sanxie people at the Straw Shoes Market.
No big shot in cultivation dares to fart."
A man said with emotion: "It's so happy!"
"No, if I really want to say it was happy, I had to kill that Taoist Zhenye in Shendu. At that time, Taoist Zhenye was killing innocent people indiscriminately in Shendu, and no one dared to take care of him. In the end, the guard envoy came out of seclusion and killed him directly.
Then he hung his head outside the gate of the divine capital, and in the end he didn’t even fart!"
A man drank some water and felt unhappy. He wanted to drink now.
"Also, the bastard leader of the Tamamo Sect bullied the people of our Daliang. The guard envoy not only killed the person on the spot, but even destroyed the Ren sect in the end. It was really a relief!"
All the men laughed and talked about which brothel's courtesan was the most beautiful.
In fact, at most it’s just a knowing smile. No matter how you say it, those things are actually not as painful as these things.
quick.
This is so enjoyable.
"The Guardian is so young and powerful, I'm afraid there will be many girls who like him, right?"
The girl bit into the hard biscuit and asked curiously.
"Of course, I heard that in the capital of the gods, many shops are selling the portrait of the guardian envoy. I don't know how many maidens have bought one and hung it in their homes, admiring it day and night, waiting for us
When we get to Shendu, I will raise some money for the young lady to buy one so that she can take a good look at it."
As soon as the man opened his mouth, the others immediately agreed. They had been living with the girl day and night and had watched her grow up. Many of them had long regarded the girl as their own daughter.
The girl blushed, but she quickly smiled and said: "Then it's agreed, uncles, you can't go back on your word."
"Oops, miss, take it seriously, it's over, my brother's drinking money will be a lot less next month!"
As soon as these words were said, there was a burst of laughter immediately.
The men all laughed.
However, there was still a man who couldn't help but laugh and said: "But Miss, although there are many girls who like the Guardian Envoy, the Guardian Envoy has already found his heart. She is the talented girl from the Xie family in the capital of God. If they really want to say
Look, the man, the talent, and the woman are truly a match made in heaven, and you can’t fault them at all.”
The girl muttered: "I never thought that the guardian envoy would like me, he just admires me, right?"
The men looked at each other and said nothing.
They were all experienced, so they didn't know what a girl of this age was thinking, but they didn't pay attention to it. After all, it was normal for a girl's feelings to come and go quickly.
group
People were talking and laughing, but with the girl beside them, it was actually not too much.
As the sun sets in the west, the men don't talk much and turn to look at the sunset over there.
The woman sitting far away also raised her head and looked at the sunset, feeling in a trance.
