Chapter Eighty-Nine: Saving Life, Hope
Shi Wen'er looked at Ji Ashui's small courtyard and remembered one thing, he asked Ji Ashui: "I remember you said that you have parents, why did you go back once and only bring back women, what about your father?" ”
Ji Ashui's expression tightened, he peeked at Shi Wen'er, and said gloomily: "They refused to follow me here, and said that I was possessed by demons." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They all listen to the wizard. ”
Shi Wen'er's face changed: "Then will they report this matter to the wizard?" Could it be that the wizards already know what is going on on our side? ”
Ji Ashui opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It doesn't matter, they are all so old, they can't do any work, and no one pays attention to them." ”
Shi Wen'er wanted to speak and stopped. Ji Ashui's expression was different, what did he mean by letting those two old men starve to death? But I have also heard that some tribes do have this custom, when people are old and can no longer hunt and work, they will be left to fend for themselves, and they don't even care about their children. Now Ah Shui can think about picking up his father and mother, he has already been educated from the outside, but these two old people are obsessed, who is to blame?
He sighed slightly, and finally couldn't help but say: "We Han people, based on filial piety, no matter what, we can't let them starve to death without anyone taking care of them, when we go back, see if we can bring them out, just bring them out." ”
Ji Ashui hesitated and agreed, and didn't say anything more. Shi Wen'er turned around and left Ji Ashui's house, Ji Ashui followed, the two returned to the village from the tunnel, Shi Wen'er let Ji Ashui go back to the village mourning hall, and then walked along the mountain road to the cliff.
As he walked, he looked into the distance, but the trees were towering, blocking his vision, and all kinds of trees were rooted in the cracks of the cliffs, spreading their branches and leaves in the air, and they were unyielding to fight for a foothold for themselves.
Shi Wen'er breathed a long sigh of relief, and climbed down from the big tree behind him alone, without looking back, he also knew that it was Nian Qingyun. Sure enough, Nian Qingyun's happy voice sounded from behind him: "Big brother, go up the tree and take a look, you can see far away." ”
Shi Wen'er said that as the young clouds went up the tree, sure enough, all the things on the other side of the mountain that were covered by the forest were exposed. In front of me is all a continuous mountain, and on the mountain, there are trees that cover the sky. It's just that in the middle of this grove of trees, the top of a white stone house is faintly exposed. The roof is square, like a pillar, and is hidden among the green branches and green leaves.
Shi Wen'er retold the story told by Ji Ashui to Nian Qingyun, and said: "Although he said so, we can't take it lightly, in case those two old men go to the wizard to complain, there are always few people on our side, and there are many women and children." ”
Nian Qingyun said: "Big brother, when Na Ji Ashui goes back, I want to follow him behind to see what the situation is on his side, we can't always listen to what he says here." ”
Shi Wen'er shook his head and said, "No, you can't take risks casually, those natives are very tough." Just by looking at Ji Ashui's skills, you can know that although you are very flexible, you may not be as fast as them. There is no foolproof way, we can only defend. I think Na Ji Ashui is more afraid of those two old men than us to tell the situation here, their natives are not as filial and respectful as our Han people, looking at his appearance, I suspect that those two old men are dead. ”
Nian Qingyun was surprised: "Big brother, do you mean this Ji Ashui...... This kind of person is terrible. Are you going to take him to Luoyang? ”
Shi Wen'er said with a smile: "Such a talent is easy to use, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will hold the god of heaven." We are now all the hope of his new life, but his two old sons are useless, and they will get rid of him. ”
He watched from the tree for a while and asked, "How many people are on the defensive?" ”
Young Qingyun said: "More than a hundred. ”
Shi Wen'er said: "Try to draw all the manpower here as much as possible, now I take Ji'a Shui away, and no one needs to watch the north." I'm afraid no one can live in that forest except for you, who grew up in the jungle. Just leave a few people to watch. In the future, we are only afraid that the biggest enemy is the natives in the mountains to the south. Those wizards have a hard time. We still have to be strong in the future! More people have to go up to the island and slowly expand the past. Not now, you can't have friction with the natives. ”
Nian Qingyun said: "Yes, Qingyun understands. ”
Shi Wen'er patted Nian Qingyun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Soon-to-be a father?" How prepared is it? ”
Nian Qingyun said with a smile: "There are a lot of people who want to be fathers this time, I went to Leizhou to invite a few midwives to come over, these two days, didn't the eldest brother find that the children in our village cried a lot?" ”
Shi Wen'er smiled dumbly and said, "Where will I pay attention to this?" That is, you, who are about to become a father, will listen to whose family has a child, right? How is your daughter-in-law? ”
The smile on Nian Qingyun's face couldn't be hidden, he laughed happily, and felt that it was inappropriate to smile like this on a day like Old Man Bai, so he hurriedly suppressed his smile and said, "Let the midwife show her, she said that she is such a strong child." ”
Shi Wen'er also laughed and said, "You don't have to endure it, there is a child born in the village, I'm afraid it is the thing that Old Man Bai is most happy to see." There are too few people in our village, so everyone has to spare their lives to have hope for talents. There's nothing worth desperately asking for, you know? ”
Nian Qingyun nodded and said solemnly: "Qingyun understands, thank you, big brother." ”
Shi Wen'er smiled, patted Nian Qingyun's shoulder again, went down the big tree, and returned to the mourning hall. Seeing that Ji Ashui had already gone home with the woman, Wei Jingyu took Bai Jiashu and knelt in the mourning hall, and Wei Youqing, who was more than two years old, was hugged by the green pothos and was about to fall asleep.
Shi Wen'er walked to Wei Jingyu's side, knelt down and whispered something in his ear, Wei Jingyu took a long breath and sighed, "Okay, then it's hard brother." He glanced at Wei Youqing reluctantly, and said hesitantly: "That Youqing ......"
Shi Wen'er said: "King Yun didn't know that I came to the island, and he was willing to send Youqing back, it must be because of his own teacher-student friendship with Old Man Bai." Then it doesn't hurt to stay a little longer, and when Jiashu and them return to Guangzhou, they will take it with them. He glanced at Wei Jingyu, and tentatively persuaded: "King Yun treats Youqing well, and King Chen, that is the princess's son, although they can't recognize each other, but I can see that Chengyu really didn't say anything to Youqing......"
Wei Jingyu heard Shi Wen'er mention Chengyu, mentioned the eldest sister, and then looked at Bai Guangzhi in the coffin, and couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.
Shi Wen'er understood Wei Jingyu's mood, and he said: "Lord, I heard Qingyun say that many children have been born in the village recently, and you see that Youqing is so old. When you have children, there is hope, and everything is going for the better. ”
