There had been a shower of rain last night, and the weeds in the field were still wet in the morning, and when the wheels of the carriage rolled over, the water droplets on them fell one after another, and the ten brocade guards who were in charge of opening the way in front were miserable, and there were several pounds of mud sticking under their boots, and their trouser legs were wet with water droplets from the weeds.

Zhao Datou and other ten five hundred battalion soldiers followed behind the carriage, but it was not much better, and they also stuck two feet of mud, but as veterans of a hundred battles, they had experienced a lot of harsh environments, so they didn't care about it, and followed the rut without saying a word, and the flintlock pistol wrapped in oilcloth was on the shoulder, but the fierce aura was naturally exposed, as long as it was not a blind thief, he didn't dare to step forward and ask for trouble.

As the sun rises, the temperature gradually becomes hotter, and the water on the weeds is evaporating at a rate visible to the naked eye. After walking for about half an hour, the Jinyi guard who was in charge of opening the road finally stopped, and Han Dajie ran back to the carriage and reported: "My lord, this should be where Shaba Village used to be. ”

Xu Jin lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, where is this village, it is clearly a barren countryside, all you can see are mixed peanut trees, thatch grows taller than people, not to mention the ruins, not even a brick and rubble can not be seen.

Early spring and early summer then got out of the carriage, looking at the desolation in front of him, his face was also confused, is this the village where he lived when he was a child? How did it become like this?

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning and said, "Han Baihu, are you sure this is the old site of Shaba Village?" ”

Han Dajie swore solemnly: "That's right, this is here, my subordinates have repeatedly inquired and confirmed, this is indeed the former Shaba Village, but the people of the village have moved away one after another a few years ago, and the village has been abandoned, so it has become what it is today." ”

"Why haven't you left any traces?" Xu Jin didn't think that Han Dajie would dare to find a random place to fool himself, but the barren wilderness in front of him was too ridiculous, and people wouldn't be barren like this after a few years.

Han Dajie hurriedly explained: "My lord, Shaba Village used to be some thatched houses, and it is estimated that even the only remaining timber was removed when the villagers left, so there was no trace left. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, he was also empiricist, he didn't even take this layer into account, Shaba Village is all poor stove households, where can they afford to live in brick houses, the village has been abandoned for so many years, those thatched houses are estimated to be rotten, and it is normal to leave no traces.

"Sister, look!" In the early summer, he suddenly pointed to a large tree covered with vines not far away and exclaimed.

With a slight shock in the early spring, the two sisters ran to the bottom of the tree and tore the vines that climbed on the tree. Without Xu Jin's orders, a group of brocade guards took out embroidered spring knives to clean up the vines wrapped around the tree, and soon, a half-withered sour pear tree was revealed.

"Sister, this ...... Is this the pear tree in our yard? In early summer, he looked hesitant, and the sour pear tree in front of him was not very similar to the sour pear tree in his childhood memory.

Chu Chun was already in tears at the moment, nodded and said: "This is the sour pear tree in our yard, you see that horizontal branch, although it has dried up, but the traces of the rope are still there, do you remember?" ”

The tears of early summer instantly burst out of his eyes, and he nodded violently and said: "I remember that it was the rope knotted by my mother with the broken fishing net that I picked up, and Daddy tied a piece of wood and made it into a swing, the wood was not even, and there was an old man sitting on it, but people were always playing with my sister."

Sister, this is our yard, this is our yard. Dad! Mother! My daughter is back to see you, my daughter is back to see you...... Whining! ”

In the early summer, the tears were shedding and crying, and the two sisters knelt down under the sour pear tree and hugged their heads and cried.

Xu Jin sighed secretly, and in a blink of an eye, it was a passing year, and things were neither human nor human. The separation of yin and yang is undoubtedly the most decisive and saddest parting in the world. Parents are here, there is still a place to come in life, parents are gone, life is only a way back, cherish the people in front of you, and cherish it.

Xu Jin walked over and knelt beside him, without saying a word, just opened his arms and gently hugged the two girls into his arms. The two pretty maids cried so much that their hearts and intestines were broken, and their tears wet Xu Jin's chest.

After a long time, Chu Chun raised his teardrop-covered face, sobbed and whispered: "Master, I'm afraid that the graves of my father and mother can't be found, and the maid wants to build a tomb for them under this sour pear tree." ”

Xu Jin immediately turned around and instructed Han Dajie, who was standing behind him: "Han Baihu, after returning to the city, I will find a group of craftsmen to build a tomb here, and we must use the best stones, and we should spend money to find two oxen to pay for it." ”

"Yes, sir!" Han Dajie hurriedly agreed.

Chu Chun was anxious, shook his head again and again, and said: "Master, the maidservant father and mother are just grass people, so if you can afford this, you just need to build a grave." ”

"That's it, either don't repair it, or build the best one, just repair it with stones, and the tomb is also paved with stone slabs, so that it won't be overgrown with weeds in a month and a half." Xu Jin is categorical.

Although they are still Yahuan in early spring and early summer, they will have to be given the identity of Aunt Xu in the future, and the earl's father-in-law should not be overdone by building a small stone cemetery.

"Sir!" The early spring was moved, and the tears couldn't help but flow out again, and the early summer ignored the eyes around and hugged his master excitedly to express his gratitude.

Xu Jin patted the backs of the two pretty maids, and the mood of the two girls gradually stabilized, and then they opened incense candles and fruits under the sour pear tree to carry out sacrifices.

Xu Jin also put on a stick of incense and toasted three glasses. Although she is only a concubine in early spring and early summer, she is also her own woman after all, and it is also appropriate to put incense on their parents.

When he was busy worshipping here, a loud shout suddenly came from in the distance, which was clearly the voice of the pro-soldier Zhao Datou. A group of Jinyi guards immediately vigilantly pulled out embroidered spring knives to protect Xu Jin and the three of them in the middle.

After a while, I saw Zhao Datou pick up an unkempt guy from behind the dense grass, and casually threw it in front of a group of brocade guards, scolding and scolding: "Lao Tzu just released his hand over there, hey, I found that this bird thing sneakily peeped here, and I guessed that it was not a good bird, so I caught it." Old Han, interrogate this guy where he came from, this is your old business. ”

Han Dajie immediately rolled up his sleeves and said with a cruel smile: "It's easy to say!" ”

"Hey, it's you stinky beggar!" Han Dajie hadn't moved his hand yet, but one of his brocade guards recognized it first.

"Huh? Do you know? Han Dajie frowned and asked the subordinate.

The brocade guard sneered: "This guy tried to harass the early spring girl in the city yesterday, but he was stopped by us, and today he sneakily followed here, but he is quite fat." ”

Xu Jin's face couldn't help but sink, and his eyes looked at Chu Chun, who nodded, but his eyes looked at the beggar on the ground curiously.

Han Da triumphantly pulled out the embroidered spring knife, put it on the beggar's neck, and asked fiercely, "Say, what is the way to come?" What is the purpose of following us, dare to have half a lie, Lao Tzu wants your head. ”

The beggar was full of fear, and said tremblingly: "Uncle spare his life, the little one is just passing by, passing by!" ”

"If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, Lao Tzu sees that your hands and feet are sound, or I will remove a leg and a hand for you, so it should be easier for Zi Xing to beg." After Han Dajie finished speaking, he was about to cut off the beggar's left leg.

The beggar was almost frightened and shouted, "Big sister and second sister, save me!" ”

Han Dajie couldn't help laughing and said: "Even if I call the king of heaven today, I can't save you." ”

In the early spring and early summer, the ground suddenly changed color, and he looked at the beggar carefully in disbelief.

Han Dajie's knife rested on his thigh, and the beggar was probably scared to death, and said anxiously: "Eldest sister and second sister, I am your fifth uncle, Mao Dazhong."

In early spring and early summer, they glanced at each other and blurted out: "Fifth uncle!" ”

Xu Jin frowned, motioned for Han Dajie to put away the knife, and said coldly, "Stand up." ”

Xu Jin has been in the top position for a long time, and the momentum is naturally not something that ordinary people can resist, and the beggar stood up obediently, and he didn't dare to come out.

Xu Jin ordered someone to take out the water bladder to wash the dirt off the beggar's face, and then asked, "Early spring and early summer......"

Xu Jin originally wanted to ask the two pretty maids if this person was their clan uncle, but he stopped when the words came to his lips, because there was no need to ask again, the expressions of the two girls already said everything.

"Fifth uncle, really fifth uncle!" In early spring and early summer, his eyes were red again, and he stepped forward in surprise, not disgusted with the beggar's dirty, and excitedly grabbed the beggar's hand.

The beggar also had red circles in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Eldest sister and second sister, it's really you, it's really you." Yesterday in the city, the fifth uncle felt that the eldest sister was a little familiar, but he didn't dare to recognize it, so he secretly followed you out of the city today, and when he saw that you actually came to Shaba Village, the fifth uncle knew that it must be the two of you. God's mercy, the fifth uncle has finally found you two sisters. ”

The two pretty maids suddenly saw their relatives, they were trembling slightly with excitement, and Chu Chun wiped her tears and said, "Fifth uncle, you ...... Where do you live now? What about the rest of the village? ”

Mao Dazhong grinned unnaturally, his nose was sour in early spring and early summer, it seemed that the fifth uncle had not been happy all these years, and he had fallen into begging on the street.

"Don't cry, don't cry, silly girl, the fifth uncle is fine, seeing that you are doing well, the fifth uncle is relieved!" Mao Dazhong wiped the corners of his eyes as he spoke, obviously revealing his true feelings.

Chu Xia sniffed, turned to Xu Jin and said, "Master, this is the maid's uncle!" ”

Xu Jin smiled and arched his hand and said, "Uncle Mao, under Xu Jin." ”

Mao Dazhong's eyes flashed, and he looked helpless and saluted: "I've seen Xu Gongzi!" ”()
