Chapter 11 Farmhouse Courtyard
Facing the twilight sunset, Wen Bufan followed the farmers around a ridge, and a small village appeared in front of him.
Wen Xun didn't feel this way for a long time, and suddenly returned to the time with his mother in his childhood, at that time, his mother was busy in the field, and always used a small car to push herself on the way home, at that time the family was not rich, but that time was also the happiest time in Wen Bufan's life.
"A few people, this is it." The farmer, Zhang Dahai, opened the door of a small courtyard and said.
Then he shouted inside, "The guest from the house has come!" ”
A slightly chubby middle-aged woman came out of it, took the farm tools in Zhang Dahai's hand, greeted Wen Bufan and them with a smile, and then said: "Guests, you don't say anything in advance, let me be ready!" ”
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite, we still have to thank Brother Zhang for taking us in here for one night." Wen Bufan said politely.
"You wait, I'll go stir-fry again!" The sister-in-law of the Zhang family said and returned to the house.
"Two of you, please!" Zhang Dahai led Wen Bufan and Isabel to a room on the side, and said as he walked: "No one usually lives here, but usually my house is cleaned up." I'll let you be in the room later, and give the two of you the quilt. ”
When I entered the room, it was clean, but there were some miscellaneous items on the kang.
Zhang Dahai cleaned up the sundries on the kang and said, "When did you put this?" ”
Wen Bufan stretched out his hand to help, and said casually: "This is usually you and your sister-in-law?" ”
Hearing Wen Bufan's question, Zhang Dahai sighed and said: "This room was originally lived in by my uncompetitive son, and our husband and wife are just such a child. But who would have thought that the year before last, I conscripted my son, and this trip has been more than two years! ”
Zhang Dahai said while packing up his things: "I don't know what happened." ”
Hearing Zhang Dahai say this, Wen Bufan thought that the year before last was not the time when Donglai Kingdom was preparing to enter Beihu Kingdom. It is also normal for the Northern Hu State to recruit soldiers. So he said: "This war naturally requires conscription, but isn't this Beihu State already a vassal to the Donglai Kingdom?" It is estimated that Ling Lang will be back soon. ”
"You don't know! We are not recruiting troops here at all to start a war with Donglai Kingdom! Instead, they all went to the north, not knowing what had happened. Zhang Dahai said.
"Not to start a war with Donglai Kingdom? All went to the north? How did Brother Zhang know? Wen Bufan asked.
Zhang Dahai just wanted to speak, and the voice of the sister-in-law of the Zhang family came from outside the house: "The meal is ready, please invite the guests out to eat!" ”
"You two talk first, I'll help." With that, Isabel turned and went out.
"Good!" Wen Bufan spoke, then looked at Zhang Dahai and asked, "How did Brother Zhang know that all the conscripts went to the north?" ”
Zhang Dahai hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Last year, there was a sneak back in our village, he said it!" ”
"What did he say?" Wen Bufan asked.
"He didn't say exactly where he went to the north, he only knew that they had been training together for more than half a year, and then they headed for the north, and he couldn't stand it halfway, so he secretly ran back!" Zhang Dahai said.
"Then Ling Lang hasn't written to you in the past few years?" Wen Bufan asked again.
Zhang Dahai shook his head.
"Did the man who came back say that they were going north on that route?" Wen Bufan asked again.
"He did say this, and he went all the way north along the Tulatu Sea." Zhang Dahai said.
After Wen Bufan and Isabel rested at Zhang Dahai's house for one night, they inquired in detail about the location of Tulatu Sea the next day, and then set off.
Zhang Dahai and his wife have been sending Wen Bufan and Isabel to the entrance of the village.
Looking at the backs of Wen Bufan and Isabel, the sister-in-law of the Zhang family said: "Boss, do you think they can find it?" ”
"I don't know, but these two people are extraordinary, maybe they can really be found." Zhang Dahai said.
At this time, many people appeared behind Zhang Dahai and his wife. are all watching Wen Bufan and Isabel.
"Brother Zhang, there are only two of them, can they really bring the children back?" A man in his thirties said.
"That day, you all heard the words of that immortal. And these two people have also appeared, and their appearance is similar to what the fairy said, although the woman is wearing a veil, don't you think that is a fairy? Zhang Dahai said.
"Yes! Oh, yes! Hopefully they will be able to bring the children back. The man said.
The crowd began to sob, and slowly the women began to cry.
"Don't cry, everyone! Isn't there hope! Everyone should be happy! Although Zhang Dahai said this, his eyes were already red.
The Tulatu Sea is not a sea, nor a lake, but a sea of Gobi sand. In the northwestern part of the Beihu Kingdom, according to Zhang Dahai, the man who had fled told him that the army had not entered the Tulatu Sea, but had been heading north along the eastern side of the Tulatu Sea. The man escaped just as he was about to enter the Hula Valley. That is to say, the army of the Northern Hu State entered the Hula Valley along the Tulatu Sea, and then where it went, that person does not know.
"Why did the Northern Hu Kingdom suddenly increase its troops to the north? Could it be that it is for this reason that the Northern Hu Kingdom wants to be a vassal of the Donglai Kingdom? Wen Bufan said.
"It is very likely that the north of the Beihu Kingdom was suddenly attacked by some kind of attack, and the center of gravity of the troops had to be shifted to the north, so it was the subject of the Donglai Kingdom." Isabel said: "However, looking at the current trend, the force that poses a threat to the north of the Beihu Kingdom has not invaded the hinterland of the Beihu Kingdom. ”
"You mean, that force doesn't have to be bloodthirsty?" Wen Bufan said.
"It's hard to say, but since Donglai Kingdom hasn't gotten any news, it means that even if there are bloodthirsty monsters, there won't be many of them." Isabel said.
"Also, the Beihu Kingdom must be in control of the situation, or the two sides are deadlocked, but the news of the Beihu Kingdom is blocked, but it is good, and even the people in their own territory don't know what is happening in the north?" Isabel said with a smile.
"You mean, the news is so tightly blocked, how can anyone sneak back?" Wen Bufan said.
"I didn't think about this, but I always felt that the Zhang family and his wife were deliberately trying to tell us about it!" Isabel said.
"Really?" Wen Bufan said: "But that's fine, we don't have to look around!" “
