Daily Struggle in Ancient Times (Farming)

Chapter 68

  "Why did you come back so soon?" Wei Yun was very surprised, he came back after less than a moment of going out, which was too fast.

Huo Cheng took off his coat and said, "Let him cry for a while, it's not a problem to hold it in his heart."

After all, Goudan is old, and he must know what happened today. The yard is so big, and it looks out of the window Clearly, Huo Cheng didn't believe he didn't see anything.

Although Goudan pretended to be calm today, how could a child without parents not be afraid? It would be a good thing to cry to vent.

Wei Yun sighed, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, "Do evil! The two of them are fine, and it will pass as soon as they close their eyes. The two children are still so young, so what will they do in the future?

" What is faced is not only the problem of survival, but also all kinds of gossip. He is a person who has experienced it, and he knows best that the mouth of the world can grind flesh with a blunt knife, and even the pain that penetrates the bone marrow cannot escape.

Huo Cheng didn't raise his eyelids when he heard that, he was a little indifferent, "If they can stand up by themselves, even if someone can stand up to them, if they can't stand up by themselves, then don't blame others for looking down on them." His father is dead

now , His mother was also sentenced to beheaded by Qiu Houwen, and it was only a matter of time before she left. A child without a father or mother, who else can he count on besides himself?

With things in their hearts, the couple didn't sleep well all night, and when they woke up early, their eyes were black and blue.

No matter what, Huo Er's surname is Huo, and he broke up with Huo Cheng, but not with Uncle Huo's family. Even if the relationship is not good, they are still serious relatives. Huo Er has to tell their family if there is no such thing.

According to the etiquette, it should be said by the two dogs, but they are filial sons, and they are not allowed to go to other people's houses according to the etiquette, let alone entering the house, even if they walk close, some people will feel bad luck I can't go.

Although Huo Cheng's family also lost their relationship, they are brothers after all, so it is impossible to ignore this taboo in a blatant manner. There was no other way, Huo Cheng had no choice but to ask Sixth Brother Gou to go for a walk early in the morning.

Aunt Huo didn't sleep well last night. In the second half of the night, she could always hear someone crying softly. When she woke up in the morning, she was sleepy and flustered. She always felt that something was going to happen.

Aunt Huo was still surprised when she saw Brother Ran, she didn't understand why such a young child came back suddenly, and she got the sad news of the death of her second son.

No matter how foolish and unreasonable Huo Jiang is, he is her own son. She gave birth to him in October, and raised him up from a little bit of painstaking effort. How could she accept it when he suddenly said nothing? Yes, I fainted all of a sudden.

Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly pinched her, and finally woke her up, when she let out a long wail, weeping desperately like a swallow that lost a child.

Wei Yun has never seen such a sad and hopeless Aunt Huo, she can be strong, aggressive and even rascal, but Wei Yun has never seen her cry so disregarding her image, the cry of despair is like a nail fixed into his heart, Can't help but also red eyes.

Aunt Huo was crying and cursing, and her strong crying could not stop the hatred in his voice: "God damn bitch! She did such a shameless thing, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, this poisonous woman, arrest her!" I can't hold back my man's heart, I'm useless, and I still have the guts to kill my husband. God, open your eyes and see, what crime did our Huo family do to marry such a poisonous woman!" Wei Yun was

speechless Huo Ersao's murder was a big mistake and irrefutable, but is Huo Jiang really not at all wrong in the whole thing? If he can be satisfied with the family living in peace and not going outside to mess around, how can the couple be together? become like this.

But in Aunt Huo's eyes, Huo Er was not at fault at all. He went out to mess around because Second Sister Huo couldn't control his man. Therefore, Second Sister Huo should bear it all her life without any resistance or dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, he still felt that Aunt Huo was pitiful, but now, he felt that there was nothing wrong with saying that a poor person must have something to hate.

Huo Chengcheng didn't want to care about it at first, but Aunt Huo's words became more and more shameful, and she even clamored to go to Mrs. Huo's house to ask for an explanation, which was really out of character.

"Do you really think that the second brother has no responsibility at all? If he lives in peace and contentment and doesn't go out to mess around, things won't happen at all. A slap can't make a sound, but if the second brother can think about the child, I wouldn't do such a conscienceless thing. If Brother Tong gets married in the future and her husband steals food outside, what would you think?"

Aunt Huo was fooled by what he said, sobbing and muttering: "That's not the case. Same..."

Aunt Huo hurried over when she got the news, Aunt Huo was yelling for an explanation and she could hear clearly what the two of them said later, she couldn't help but said, "What is there?" What's the difference, it's right for your son to go out to steal food, but it's not right for someone else's house?"

Aunt Huo stared blankly at one place, not knowing what she was thinking.

Aunt Huo didn't bother to tell her, she looked around, but she didn't find the two children, so she asked, "Dacheng, the two children didn't come back with you?" "

They're back." Huo Cheng pointed to the wing room.

With such a short distance, the two children were afraid they would hear everything, so she couldn't help but glared at the people in the yard with embarrassment.

These people are also, what can't be said in private, you have to let the children hear, isn't this a crime!

Uncle Huo was smoking the cigarette he rolled, his brows twisted into a word, "Where's the person?"

"It's still in Yizhuang." Huo Cheng said, there is nothing to do with the funeral, he didn't bring him back last night, and the case at the Yamen has not been fully understood, and he can't get him back for the time being.

Fortunately, it's winter now, so a few days' delay won't matter.

Although Uncle Huo's family had a lot of dissatisfaction with Huo Jiang, a relative, now that he was gone, they couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

There were so many people in the yard, but it was quiet. After a while, Uncle Huo asked, "What are you going to do with Goudan?"

Huo Cheng repeated the words discussed with Goudan yesterday, Uncle Huo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

He really felt that no matter what the parents were, there was nothing wrong with the child. He was really afraid that Huo Cheng would break off the relationship, so he really didn't care about the two nephews. Now it seems that he was thinking too much.

When people are gone, there are always things to do after the funeral. When the family divides the work, everyone should do what they should do.

Huo Er's grave hadn't been dug yet, so Uncle Huo called for help, they came and went, and before noon, the news was already spreading.

For many years, nothing like this has happened in the village. They can say anything, and the Huo family is not a closed city, so they will hear some of it. Wei Yun was worried that Goudan would not be able to bear it, but he didn't expect the child to cry Without saying a word, I endured it all.

Although the child was considered sensible when he came last time, he could still see that he was being pampered, but now he has grown up completely.

He works hard every day. These days, he harvests the pigweed at home, feeds the chickens and ducks, and wakes up early every day to clean the yard.

Not only that, but he also took good care of the little ones, especially Brother Ran, who looked like eyeballs. He is also very kind to Brother Tong, and he is no longer pampered in the past.

Everyone should be gratified that he is so sensible, but for some reason, they feel a little sad.

Even Brother Tong, the person who didn't like him the most in the past, would secretly sigh with his uncle: "Actually, it would be nice if Goudan could be the same as before.

" It was dug up properly, and Huo Er was also transported back after being taken care of by Huo Cheng.

Goudan and Brother Ran are dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and finally let him go to the ground for peace.

Everyone sighed endlessly, never would have thought that such a thing would happen, but no matter how much they sighed, it was all other people's business, and it was fine to talk about it for a while.

Of the two children, the elder brother is still young, so it's okay to be sad for a while, but he is a bitch. Although he has never cried in front of others from the beginning to the end, he has lost a lot of weight in just a few days. ", his even thinner cheeks were sunken.

Huo Cheng watched coldly these days, and found that the child was indeed completely different from before. He originally wanted to let Goudan stay, but he refused without thinking.

Although the child is very thin, his eyes are very bright. He stared at him and said seriously: "Uncle, I know that you mean well, but you and my father are broken after all. You adopted me and returned to the village. What do you do when other people come to your door? Besides, you have already helped me a lot. The house in the city is sold for seven or eighty taels of silver. How can it support the two of us, let alone you have already found me a place to live? He even asked me to work in the shop as a filial piety. It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, I always have to stand up by myself."

Huo Cheng didn't expect him to think like this, and he swallowed all the words he was going to persuade When I went back, I just nodded and said softly: "If there is anything, just come to me."

The child's eyes turned red immediately, he nodded heavily, and laughed after a long absence.

Huo Cheng couldn't help thinking in his heart, compared to his son, Huo Er is really a rotten person worthy of the name.

As soon as this incident was over, the Huo family's life became peaceful again. As the Chinese New Year approached, Wei Yun unexpectedly received a letter from Han Pingji.

The young master is the same as in the past, just a letter, and he can see his fresh appearance, Wei Yun can't help but miss it.

He doesn't have many friends. Although the acquaintance with the young master was unexpected, the two people with completely different personalities get along unexpectedly well together. I haven't seen him for such a long time, but I still miss him a lot.

The young master's letter was very long, and he was muttering about it. He even wrote a lot of what he ate every day, what was delicious and what was not. Wei Yun read it for a long time and didn't see that he wrote the letter the goal of.

When he waited patiently to see the end, he finally saw the young master's intentions at the end. The young master was going to get married in May next year. He wrote to ask Wei Yun to go to Yongzhou to attend his wedding.

Wei Yun couldn't help but find it funny. He still remembered that the young master had run away from home because he refused to get married, and how long it took before they got married.

Although this letter is full of daily trivial matters, it reveals joy everywhere. If you are unwilling to this marriage, you probably don't have the heart to mess with these messy things.

She even wrote a letter specifically to ask him to attend the wedding banquet, probably because she was very satisfied with the marriage.

I don't know what panacea that young master used to embrace the beauty as he wished.

He was a little moved, so he asked Huo Cheng: "Is Yongzhou far from here?"

Huo Cheng was playing with Xiao Ping'an, and the rattle in his hand was rattling, trying to attract Xiao Ping'an's attention. Xiaopingan opened his eyes and looked curiously at the direction of the rattle, a pair of small hands fluttered wildly, giggling amusedly.

Hearing the little husband speak, Huo Cheng, who was never tired of teasing his son, finally stopped holding the rattle, and asked inexplicably, "Yongzhou? Why do you ask this all of a sudden? Are you going?" Wei Yun nodded, "Young

Master Write a letter specifically to ask me to attend his wedding banquet, to be happy."

Huo Cheng couldn't help frowning, "When is the wedding date?" "

In the middle of May, the days are pretty good, neither hot nor cold." Wei Yun said.

Huo Cheng shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. It will take more than two months from here to Yongzhou at the fastest, and we will leave after almost two months. The road is high and the water is far away. We adults can do it. I'm afraid Ping An can't bear it." "

Wei Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled suddenly: "Look at me, I forgot about Xiaopingan."

He stretched out his hand to hear Xiaopingan who had been screaming non-stop when he heard Ah Mo's voice, and stretched out his hand in his direction Picking him up, kissing his little face, with a doting look on his face, "Ah, did you forget about our little Ping An?"

Xiao Ping An was hugged by Ah Mo, smelling the familiar smell, showing a toothless smile, a pair of The big eyes are beautifully bent into a slit, and they are too excited.

Huo Cheng looked at them, one big and one small, and the tenderness in his eyes almost drowned them, "If you want to go, wait until Ping An is older, and I will take you out to have a look around." Wei Yun asked in surprise: "Really?

" Is it?"

Huo Cheng kissed him pitifully, "Of course it's true. There is sixth brother and uncle watching at home, so there is nothing to worry about. When the time comes, we will go out with Xiaopingan. It's not that reading Wan Isn't it better to travel thousands of miles with a book? If Brother Yu is willing, he will also take him." Wei

Yun nodded quickly, he had never been out of Ping County since he was a child, and the farthest and most prosperous place he went to was the county seat of Ping County. He was excited when he had the opportunity to go out and watch.

"Dacheng, are you asleep?" Sixth Brother Gou's voice came from outside.

Huo Cheng hurriedly responded, turned his head and said to Wei Yun, "I'll go and have a look."

Gou Lao Liu almost heard Huo Cheng's response on his front foot, and saw Huo Cheng push the door out on his back foot.

The cold wind was raging outside, and the freezing Huo Cheng couldn't help wrapping up his coat, "What's the matter?"

Gou Lao Liu scratched his head with a puzzled expression on his face, "I came back from the city today. There was a strange pattern, and I didn't think much about it at the time. Later, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and it always felt like the pattern on the tip of a general's spear." Huo Cheng's face changed suddenly, "Are you sure?" Gou

Lao

Liu With a troubled expression on his face, he said uncertainly: "I'm not sure why I came to ask you. I haven't seen the general's spear a few times, and I'm not familiar with it. I just thought that you were the general's personal soldier, so I must be familiar with it. I just wanted to ask you. If the pattern is not, then it is nothing, but if it is really the general, then it proves that something big happened here!" "Do you remember what the pattern looks like?" "

Yes

!

Gou Laoliu quickly recalled, "It's a round cat, strangely shaped, with a big head and a small body. Such a chubby cat, which looks strange to outsiders, would be used as a password by no one except the general.

Seeing his ugly face, Gou Lao Liu was also startled, lowered his voice and said, "Is he really a general?"

Seeing Huo Cheng nodding, his brows also twisted into a word, "The general is not at the border, how did you get there?" here?"

Huo Cheng didn't know either, but the only thing he could be sure of was that something must have happened to the general. Maybe the person who appeared here wasn't necessarily the general, but someone who could use that symbol must be someone who had a close relationship with the general.

"You wait for me at home, I'll go out and have a look." Huo Cheng made a decisive decision and immediately decided to go out to see what happened.

Gou Lao Liu hurriedly said: "I'll go with you."

Huo Cheng shook his head, "This matter is not trivial, and it may be very dangerous. The appearance of the general here means that the neighborhood is not safe. There are so many people in the family. You have to stay and protect them."

Gou Lao Liu also knew that what he said was true, so he could only agree.

Wei Yun didn't know what they were talking about outside, but he could only vaguely hear the cat, what was going on, saw Huo Cheng coming in, and asked curiously: "What's the matter? Whose cat lost or came home?" Huo

Cheng Cheng was taken aback, "Oh, a stray cat has indeed entered the house."

Wei Yun nodded, and when he turned around, he took off his coat to get dressed, and even tied up his cuffs, "What's the matter? Why are you going out now? What happened? Is something wrong?"

Huo Cheng shook his head, "It's not a big deal, it's going to snow a lot outside, the old house at home is not strong, I don't feel at ease if the two of them live here, go back and have a look, if it doesn't work, let them Come and sleep tonight."

This is just an excuse Huo Cheng made, in fact, Huo Xiaoyong is currently living in the old house of the Huo family, so there is no need for Huo Cheng to visit.

Wei Yun got up and looked outside, and it was indeed quite heavy, so he dispelled the doubts in his heart, and said in agreement: "It should be like this, I don't think you should keep them in the old house, just bring them here. With such heavy snow, I'm afraid I'll have to sweep it several times a night."

Huo Cheng nodded, put on his clothes and told him: "It's getting late, you go to bed early, so you don't have to wait for me."

Wei Yun nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Huo Cheng agreed, went out and checked with Sixth Brother Gou carefully where he saw the pattern, and then went out in the wind and snow.

The situation was unknown, and Huo Cheng didn't dare to drive. Fortunately, some time ago, he bought a horse from shopkeeper Feng. This was originally prepared by Huo Cheng for things to do after the Chinese New Year.

The horse is not considered tall, but its hind legs are strong and powerful, and it has good stamina. Huo Cheng didn't dare to make any big noises. He carefully turned over on the horse, and when he was out of the door, he clamped his legs, and the horse under his crotch immediately accelerated. , one man and one horse quickly disappeared into the night.

The wind and snow gradually became lighter, and Huo Cheng quickly found the place Gou Liu said. It was dark, and he carefully identified it for a while before he found the pattern Gou Liu said.

After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the pattern is similar to the general's usual pattern, there are still some differences in the subtleties.

But such a similar pattern has nothing to do with the general, Huo Cheng would not believe it.

He rode his horse and searched carefully around again, and sure enough, he found a few more, and it seemed that they were heading towards the back mountain.

In this kind of weather, the mountain has been completely closed, and it is easy to get lost inside. Even the people in the village who are most familiar with the back mountain dare not enter the mountain at this time.

But the pattern pointed in the direction of the back mountain, that's right. Apart from this, there was nothing else around, and the heavy snow covered all the traces tightly. Huo Cheng looked at the mountains that seemed to hide giant beasts in the darkness, gritted his teeth and followed the direction indicated by the pattern.

Along the way, Huo Cheng had to find the pattern and remember the location. Huo Cheng walked very hard. After walking for almost half an hour, Huo Cheng suddenly found himself at the cliff of the back mountain.

The cliff is not deep, but there is an underground river below, the current is fast and unfathomable, Huo Cheng had a bad guess for a moment, could it be that this person didn't know the way and fell down?

He was thinking to himself, when there was a very faint smell of blood in the cold wind, his expression froze immediately, he quietly took out the dagger from his bosom, and moved it towards the cliff little by little.

In front of the cliff, there were a few corpses scattered all over the place. They were masked and looked like dead men. There were traces of struggle around them. It must have been dead for a while.

He looked carefully, and on the cliff wall, he could vaguely see a few pieces of black things fluttering in the wind, which seemed to be something like cloth.

Huo Cheng's heart sank, and he thought to himself, did the adult fall down?

He didn't dare to stay longer, and after confirming the situation, he turned and left immediately. No matter what happened here, it must be an extremely brutal thing, and it might be the best result not to find anyone.

The weather is beautiful, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, and soon covered all the traces, and the front of the cliff is pure white, as if nothing happened.

Huo Cheng galloped all the way, found the horse hidden by him under the col, and galloped towards home quickly.

The Huo family.

Huo Cheng never came back, Wei Yun was preoccupied with something, tossed and turned for a long time but couldn't fall asleep, Xiao Pingan on the side had already closed his eyes and fell asleep, not knowing what Ah Mo was struggling with.

After waiting for a long time, Wei Yun, who hadn't waited for Huo Cheng to come back, couldn't help feeling a little anxious, afraid that something might happen, so he simply lit the lamp.

He looked outside, the snow was heavier than before, and the strong wind was raging, and even a small crack made him stiff with cold for a moment.

After thinking about it, Wei Yun put on his coat, opened the door, and went into the kitchen. On such a cold day, he planned to cook ginger soup for a night, and when Huo Cheng came back, he would drink a hot bowl of it, which would not only keep the cold away but also keep him warm. .

The family members have already fallen asleep, and the surroundings are quiet, only the sound of Wei Yun's footsteps is very clear in the empty night sky.

He pushed open the kitchen door, and within a few steps, a creepy feeling rose from his back. The bloody smell in the air was so obvious, but he was not injured, and there were no slaughtered pigs, chickens and ducks at home. The bloody smell, Where is it from?
