The chapter is wrong. Chapter 81 was posted today and will be adjusted later.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kelsang is a Qiang, but now even he himself doesn’t know who he is. When he was in the Qiang land, he didn’t have enough food and clothing, and the leaders kept asking them, ordinary herdsmen, to do this and that.
My father and mother were exhausted to death in this way. When they died, they didn't even have a horsehide to wrap their bodies, so they could only be buried with a piece of linen covering their faces.
Later, he went to Han Dynasty. The elders of the tribe said that from now on, his destiny would change and get better and better. He would also marry a beautiful wife and have three sons. This made Gesang very happy. Sure enough,
, when he was in Shuzhong, he married a wife and gave birth to a son in the first year. The son was very strong, with thick arms and legs. It looked like he would be an upright man in the future. For this reason, Gesang decided to repay with his life.
My own benefactor.
Not long after Kelsang made this oath, the benefactor who rescued him from the Qiang land came. He asked Kelsang to do something for him in a negotiating tone, and Kelsang agreed without thinking. From then on, he
He took his wife and children all the way to Yanqi City. According to the benefactor's instructions, he set up a stall in the city to sell mutton soup. I don't know if his craftsmanship is really good, or if the benefactor taught him nothing. In less than a year
Over time, Gesang’s mutton soup stall became a Rang broth shop.
In the beginning, before going to bed every night, Gesang would count how much money he made today. If he made more, he would be very happy. If he made less, he would think about whether to prepare more for tomorrow. However, as time went on,
After that, Gesang no longer wanted to count money. Although Yanqi was a good place, it was a pity that there were not many Han and Qiang people. The only people who came to his shop every day were Huns and Huns.
But his enemy. According to the leader, the reason why the herdsmen were forced to work continuously was to satisfy the Huns' blackmail.
When cooking mutton every morning, Gesang wanted to add a lot of poison to the mutton soup and poison all those who came to his shop to drink mutton soup. But looking at his wife and three fat sons,
Kelsang's heart was not so cruel. If he was really poisoned, his whole family would not be able to survive. It didn't matter if he died, but his wife and children must not die.
I opened the store door and took a look outside. The streets were deserted early in the morning. Today was the Buddha's birthday. All the pilgrims went to the temple under construction at the east gate. Not even the usual patrons were seen.
Sang has been taking root in Yanqi City for four and a half years, and there is only half a year left before the five years that his benefactor said, but still no one has come to him, which makes Gesang very anxious. He is not worried about how long he needs to wait here, but
He was worried that something had happened to his benefactor.
The eldest son, Yagerri, is now six years old. He looks exactly like Kelsang. He has curly hair, big eyes, thick eyebrows, and an upturned nose. Yagerri is very obedient. Every morning when he wakes up, he writes a yard.
The characters were all unknown to Gesang. When Gesang came back, Yagri had already written a large piece of writing, and his wife stood in a corner of the yard and watched quietly.
Kelsang liked this scene very much, because his benefactor was a very literate person. In his impression, there was nothing in the world that his benefactor could not solve. Moreover, his wife Hua Niang was specially given to him by his benefactor.
, Hua Niang is also a hard-working person. Her family members were killed by bandits, and she was rescued from the bandits' den by her benefactor. As for Hua Niang committing a crime in the bandits' den, Gesang doesn't mind at all. He thinks that the benefactor said
You're right, the reason why women suffer is not the woman, but the man's inability to protect the woman.
His wife is literate, which makes Gesang even more happy. When he married the bride, he was looking forward to how wonderful it would be for his children to grow up and learn to write from their mother. Now it has finally come true.
When the flower girl saw Gesang entering the yard, she quickly brought out the breakfast and put it on the small table in front of Gesang. Kelsang smiled at the flower girl and started eating. The aroma of the food attracted the two little wolves.
The sleepy-eyed Nima and Hassan reached for the steamed buns on the small table without washing their faces. Hua Niang's face immediately darkened, and she led one by the other into the room, and soon the sound of howling ghosts and wolves could be heard.
Gesang just smiled and continued to eat his meal.
Yageri finally filled a yard with words, and he raised his head to Gesang in a showy manner. Kelsang laughed and waved at Yageri. Yageri came over with a smile, and was about to reach for the steamed buns.
Suddenly I found Hua Niang standing at the door of the room, and I quickly washed my hands with a smiling face.
After struggling for a while, the family finally sat down to eat together. The small table was actually very big and round. This design was something Gesang had seen once at his benefactor's house. He still could not forget the large group of people sitting around the big round table.
It was such a warm and happy scene, much better than sharing a meal. So Gesang stubbornly blocked the rules that Hua Niang said, not even leaving any room for Hua Niang. As time went by, Hua Niang also
Just let it be.
When the sound came from inside the store, Kelsang had just eaten a steamed bun and had not yet drank the gruel. Throwing down his bowl and chopsticks, Kelsang trotted into the mutton soup shop in the front yard. The visitors were a young man and a child.
The young man is very burly and has a knife in his waist. Judging from his clothes, he must be from the Western Regions. As for which tribe he belongs to, it is still unclear. The child has a big head and a small body. It is obvious that he is hungry. He is different from the three members of his family.
A child is incomparable.
"My guest is here early. The mutton soup is not ready yet. We need to wait for another hour!"
The young man nodded, and the child replied: "My master said he can wait, just wait here!"
A silver coin flew into Gesang's hand. Gesang looked at it and was immediately stunned. He quickly looked up at the young man who threw the silver coin to him and said, "Why are the boots of this young man who has crossed the river dry?"
Gesang spoke in Chinese. Laifu smiled and said, "Whoever crosses the river must have wet boots? I came here by boat."
"How is the boatman doing?"
"The boatman is fine. The boat has tipped into the middle of the river and is about to dock. Let me check the wind direction first. If there is no problem, we will land soon."
"Are there already pine cones on the pine trees in the shore?"
"That's it, there are thirty-six in total, ten facing east, ten facing west, ten facing north, and only six facing south!"
The more Gesang talked, the more excited he became: "Did this young master pick it?"
"Naturally, I picked the one facing the east."
Gesang's heart was in his throat, and his legs were trembling. Langri couldn't understand what the two were talking about. It's rare to encounter big rivers in the Gobi Desert, and he has never encountered them since he came from the Hanhai Sea. And even if there is a river,
, there will be no pine trees growing by the river. With a puzzled look on his face, the shopkeeper of the mutton soup shop ran over, raised the door panel in twos and twos, and made an inviting gesture towards Laifu.
Laifu said to Langri: "You stay here first, I will finish the work, and then we will go back."
Langri nodded obediently. Gesang grabbed a large handful of dried meat from behind the counter, piled it in front of Langri, touched Langri's head, and took Laifu to the backyard. Hua Niang and the children had already returned.
After leaving the house, only the words written by Yageri were left in the yard. The words were in Chinese characters. When the wind blew, the dust almost covered the words. After a short time, the handwriting in the yard became a little unclear.
Gesang took Laifu into a room. It was very clean, but there were no windows or skylights, and the door was very small. There were messy things piled up in the room, and there was a pile of bones in the corner. Because of the weather, the smell was still there.
Bear.
Gesang smiled slightly: "This is the entrance to the cave. Only by piling up these things can we hide it from others."
Pulling the meat bones apart to expose the floor, Gesang reached out and pulled up the iron ring in the hiding place. A dark hole was immediately revealed in the ground. There was no ladder, so the hole was very dark. The bright light from the fire folds shone into the hole.
The depth was bottomless. Laifu watched Gesang busy at work. When the oil lamp was lit, Gesang grabbed a rope at the entrance of the cave and jumped into the hole first.
The tunnel is really deep, three to five feet deep. If you fall without a rope from this height, you will be killed. Follow Gesang and walk along the tunnel. After walking for a short time, a large space appears in front of you.
Gesang placed the oil lamp on the small table against the wall, and the cave became brightly lit. The cave was very large, and the most eye-catching thing was the three willow wooden boxes.
Gesang pointed to Laifu and said: "These are the news from the Western Regions that I have collected over the past five years. No one has come to pick them up, so I just put them in a box and I don't know if they can be used. If you want to take them away, move them out now."
Laifu shook his head: "I'm not here to get these things."
Gesang smiled helplessly: "That's right. It's useless for a person to come here to ask for these things. Tell me, what do you want to do with me this time?"
"Have you met the Han envoy?"
"Han envoy? He just left Yanqi a month ago, and now he is said to have arrived in Cheshi Country."
"Is there any progress regarding the Han envoy?"
Gesang sighed: "It's hard to say, but I think there won't be much progress. When we were in Yanqi City, I was almost caught by the Tongfu Duwei's people. Fortunately, I escaped early. According to the teacher's instructions, I didn't
Contact them and ask you to find the Han envoy?"
"Not entirely! From now on, you can compile the information about the Han envoys and give them to me. I will pick them up at this time tomorrow morning."
"clear!"
After coming out of the cave, Kelsang piled up the meat and bones again, and it looked no different from when he came in. Then he turned off the oil lamp and Laifu and left the house. The flower lady took the children to play in the courtyard, and saw Laifu.
He nodded slightly. The Galsang family and Laifu were considered acquaintances, having met several times in Chengdu. Several children tilted their necks and looked at the strangers with curious expressions on their faces.
Yagerri walked up to Gesang, pulled the corner of Gesang's clothes and looked up at Laifu. Laifu smiled: "You are Yagerri, right?"
Gesang also smiled and said: "Yes, I was still a baby when I left, but now I am so big."
Laifu nodded and said: "Sir, he asked you to send Hua Niang and the children back to Han Dynasty to avoid danger in the future."
Gesang shook his head: "No, it is most dangerous for me to stay here alone. Taking care of my family will reassure those people. Mr. has been very kind to our family. Even..., I, Gesang, have no complaints. If not,
Sir, I would have froze to death on the grassland back then. Hua Niang still doesn’t know whether I am a human or a ghost now. I have earned all these extra years of living, and having children is a gift from God. The only thing our family hopes for is,
If you can raise your head and be a good person when your husband comes, what's the harm in living here for the rest of your life?"
Laifu raised his hand to Gesang and said, "Good brother, believe me, it won't be long!" (To be continued)
