Chapter 7: A Bowl of Rice

[Latest chapter reading.]

The officers looked around Many people just looked at this side and didn't pay much attention to other places A person in charge of watching the horse approached and said, "It seems that I took a little breath and left" Zeng Shiquan understood that the corners of his mouth only hooked a cold smile At this time, the sound of wheels and hooves on the road Several horsemen escorted An Siti, and the empty carriage also chased after him He glanced to the side The officers rushed up and pulled the leader Xiao Shengzi off the horse The rest of the people also rushed to the side and held them

Xiao Shengzi's neck is full of sweat and mud, and his left cheek is swollen and swollen, like a steamed bun that has just come out of the drawer, and the red light under the skin seems to melt from one side to the other side, making the whole face have a radiant illusion He has long lost his previous style He is not annoyed when he is pulled in his hand His eyes are only skeletal and searching

As the officers carried Chang Sihao to the car, Zeng Shiquan turned his head and looked at him again, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Sheng is good" Xiao Shengzi's body was weak and his knees were on the ground: "The master forgives the sin, the little one doesn't dare to be" Zeng Shiquan said: "What dare you not be, call other people's ancestors all day long, aren't you a grandfather, get up, our family is too young, and I didn't teach people to give me a birthday."

"Master forgive me," Xiao Shengzi thought bitterly and smiled embarrassedly, crooked his thin neck like a melon vine: "You accompany the governor all day long Don't dust off the perfume and it is also smoked The small one is just a dog I will eat whatever people pull I know that I have a full stomach I don't know the smell of mouth When I open my mouth, don't I rush people and don't know it Speaking back, the small one is the dog and our Dongchang dog, the dog of the governor, and the dog of the master Those who are not human don't treat us as people The master says this again, then there is really no place for me to stand ”

Zeng Shiquan said: "Yo, you are young, you are so ruthless that people dare not listen to it, your master is not here at this time, it is not human, it is him, who should he become when he rushes to his side?"

Xiao Shengzi patted his legs and said bitterly: "The master understands Isn't this what you know best in the factory Who is not a monkey pulling a vine across the stream Climbing a day's momentum and living a day's work But for this bowl of rice Everyone is their own Who really has someone in their hearts But this rattan also has new and old tender tenacity Monkeys also have high eyebrows and low eyes The master heard my words and knew our hearts In fact, who is the master of whom, isn't it where it is dialed to make it Pity us can't even be a monkey It became a maggot The same maggot People fall in the sauce jar We're going down to the dung pit again, what's the solution, it's not like we have to hold back and drumble up the chrysalis."

Speaking of this, he saw that Zeng Shiquan's eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he thought he was talking dirty, but in fact, there was a slight smile in his eyes, and he was not really annoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Look at my stinky mouth, I just let out a few farts and brought out the" raised his hand and patted it lightly on his swollen cheeks twice

Zeng Shiquan snorted and said: "Others kiss the mouth, but it is bigger than your movement, get up and listen to some serious things" said and walked to his horse with his hands behind his back Xiao Shengzi got busy Luo Guo bowed and rubbed his legs and followed: "You said that you said" paced out a dozen steps and left the crowd Zeng Shiquan raised his head as if he wanted to wipe the nebula jade fragments above the shadow of the tree into his eyes and swept around Only then did he say: "Lord Hou is loyal to the country When he was fighting bravely in front of the battle, he was accidentally injured by the bandit leader Zeng Mou's support was not good Even if he rescued him in time The responsibility cannot be escaped Your little ancestor has come to the front to plead for me."

Xiao Shengzi paused when he heard him pause here, and immediately realized that he hurriedly collapsed his back spine again, and said in a low voice: "He is tired of rushing to catch up with the master, and he can't grab far" Speaking of this, he looked up: "Except for those two little guys, the rest of the officers are my people" There was a hint in his eyes

Zeng Shiquan said: "He rushed away from the team, you can't take care of it for a while, and when you catch up, you are likely to find that he is even with people and horses, or planted under the shade of a tree, or turned over in a ditch, and his belongings are empty, and the gangsters don't know where they went, do you say it" Xiao Shengzi laughed: "Gathering Hao to make trouble, Jiangnan is really not peaceful, this kind of thing is difficult to guarantee It's hard to guarantee it" Zeng Shiquan glanced at him sideways, his eyes showed a little contempt, and he said with a cold face: "Master Hou, this ten thousand gold and jade body is here, but there is a difference, it is not trivial, I can't pull out to rescue You know that your master is in trouble, don't you hurry up and bring someone to respond." If you can't catch up, you will be held responsible."

"This ......" Xiao Shengzi's face was full of embarrassment

Zeng Shiquan pulled up a long voice: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Shengzi said with a smile: "Back to the master, when you come back, in fact, we didn't have much effort to get here The things here are all small, go down and report it to him in a circle, it's just a rough idea, and there is nothing to play It is better to ......" Zeng Shiquan said: "Ouch, what do you mean by this, it seems that I am not kind when I urge you, but it seems that I am afraid that he will sue me for my deviation and will force you to chase and kill the mouth" Xiao Shengzi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare to take the master's kindness That is something that can be learned from heaven and man Small means that no matter how big a personal matter is, it is a small matter." No matter how small the affairs of the public family are, it is a big deal Since you have truthfully reported the military situation to Lushan, you don't have to worry too much about anything else Besides, no matter how big he is, he can still be bigger than the Hou Ye Now the Hou Ye's body is really dangerous If you want to talk about serving people, the small one doesn't dare to say that he is more considerate than anyone At least he can beat down and give the master some time to rest Let it be lest you are in a hurry and the prisoners hurt your spirit."

Looking at his mushroom head Zeng Shiquan couldn't help but smile and saw that he really didn't have the courage to do big things, so he said: "That's it, let's say it It's rare that you also know that you are considerate of Master Hou It can be seen that he is a child with a heart Let's escort the car together Let's go slowly."

Ah Yao has not left him since he found Chang Sihao, his eyes have not left him Seeing that he has always been unconscious and atrophied during the dressing change process, at the mercy of others I don't know that Zeng Shiquan is pouring ** Just think that he is seriously injured and dying Seeing him being carried into the cart The curtain was lowered and cut off The heart was so anxious that he couldn't do anything Just thinking about it Suddenly the rope was loosened and he was torn off the horse again In the distance, Zeng Shiquan was calling for someone to tell what The officers were no longer in a hurry The officials were no longer in a hurry Just set up a tent on the side of the road and camped

Among the prisoners, counting Ah Yao, there are a total of five women All of them are in one tent Two officers are guarding the tent Huoli Guwen and Sonam Gyatso are the most dangerous The people on the hill and Lu Huangqiao are personally in charge The big car is taken care of by Xiao Shengzi Zeng Shiquan is the most relaxed He and Fang Zhennuo sat around the fire and chatted

Ah Yao was crooked in the tent Thinking back to what Ji Yeping said that the eldest brother was sealed in Beijing, what Yunzhonghou did Yunzhonghou and Guo Dugong of Dongchang had a hot fight Now looking at these people from Dongchang, although they treated him, they were not really nervous It seems that there is another purpose, so I still can't rest assured Listening to Fang Zhennuo's laughter in a drowsy way, I obviously chatted with Zeng Shiquan very happily I think if it weren't for the old nun who forgot to unravel the acupoint when he left, so that he stayed under the window and heard the conversation between him and Yun Bianqing, how could he never have imagined that such a gentle and elegant person was so filthy and dirty in his heart And the reason why he got behind the window of the small house has nothing to do with him is that he can push the boat down the river and take this as a credit to him This kind of behavior is not shameless and scoundrel can be described in four words

Just thinking about it, I felt that someone was talking to me in a whisper The voice was vague but very familiar When I looked sideways, a person squatted not far behind me with a black face and a big body Holding a wave knife The shadow was Chang Sihao She was overjoyed I don't know where the strength came from As soon as she turned around, she stood up The rope on her wrist was also freed at some point She expected it to be Chang Sihao's help Full of joy Just about to shout "Big Brother" I saw Chang Sihao making a gesture here It probably means to go quickly Then she turned around and ran towards the forest She hurriedly chased forward Hei Shen ran out of ten or twenty steps Behind her, a faint person shouted horse neighing It seems to be far and near, it seems that Fang Zhennuo noticed that he chased after someone Seeing Chang Sihao running farther and farther, the chasing soldiers chasing closer and closer, his body was drifting in vain, and his two legs tried his best to run, but he couldn't move, and he wanted to shout big brother but couldn't shout When he was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, suddenly his body flew up in the air leisurely, as if he had been possessed by light work, and he was overjoyed, and he fell down again with a "snap" and fell to the ground Someone shouted: "It's time to eat."

Ah Yao only felt half of his body ache When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the wetland not far from the tent Very close in front of him, there were several bowls of white rice among the dewy blades of grass The heat was steaming The officer who had just thrown down the bowl was walking away with his back The heel of his boot lifted and stepped on the sound of the horn on the wetland, and the unknown bird chirped and pecked through the shade of the tree Leaking his morning light It turned out to be dawn

Ah Yao supported his body with his arms and felt that the numbness was completely eliminated It turned out that the acupuncture point had also been unraveled At this time, there was a sound of "fluttering" beside him, and he fell down like a pillar and fell down again, with a few mud footprints on his naked shoulders It was the fat woman I saw her fall to the ground I saw her body and her limbs were rolled up into a ball Sit up like a tumbler When she saw the rice bowl, she stretched out her hand to dig it out, and then dug out a bowl of rice with both hands slightly clumped into a ball of rice and threw it into her mouth

When the three concubines were also taken out of the tent, a few bowls on the grass were already empty, and they had no food to eat, and they began to protest loudly after chattering and exchanging a few words, and the secretary couldn't understand the Tibetan language they spoke, but when they came over, they saw that the rice bowls were empty, and it was expected that Ah Yao and Zhang Shisanniang ate and were so angry that they were so angry that they scolded: "Fat gnats, dead knife mantises, if you have no other ability, you know how to grab food" Turned his head and scolded: "Three crickets scream, eat two less bites can starve you to death."

Zhang Shisanniang has a lot of flesh on her body, and it doesn't matter if she trembles or trembles at one foot Ah Yao is already weak Receiving this kick is like being hit by a hammer Choking in pain I can't get up for a long time Huoli Guwen and Sonam Gyatso sat outside another small tent not far away Eating under the watchful eye of the people on the hill and Lu Huangqiao Behind them, the Dongchang officials formed a half-circle The sword was unsheathed and pointed at their backs Huoli Guwen saw that no one had the intention of serving food to the three concubines again, so he raised his bowl high and said: "Give them the bowl of rice of the little monk to eat."

After raising it for a long time, no one responded When he looked at it, the surrounding officials were expressionless The people on the hill and Lu Huangqiao looked at him coldly, as if there was a sense of "less to come" It seems that he wants to break them away and flee He raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, and a hand reached out next to him and took the bowl of rice gently It was Fang Zhennuo

Huo Li Guwen thought to himself: "Although this person has taken refuge in Dongchang, after all, it has not been a long time, and he still has a bit of humanity."

I only heard Fang Zhennuo check the rice bowl and let out a chuckle: "It's rare for the national teacher to be so affectionate, just let the pillow nuo come to the beauty of adulthood."

Huo Li Guwen was so angry that his eyebrows jumped: According to what he said, he gave up food for the three concubines to eat, it seems that it is for the love of men and women His body shook and he was about to have a seizure The blade of the sword immediately pressed down from the back of his neck

Fang Zhennuo turned around with a smile, but saw Zeng Shiquan behind him and said with a smile: "How can a bowl of rice be enough for three people" As he spoke, he took the bowl and walked to the three concubines and glanced at him condescendingly, saying: "However, the bird speaker is a bird man Bird man It's enough to eat bird food" With a wave of his hand, he spilled the rice on the ground

Fang Zhennuo understood that he didn't mean to play tricks, but to beware of the fire Li Guwen stealing something in the meal, and he also had the intention of guarding himself to some extent, and smiled slightly, and didn't say a word, only to see Zeng Shiquan look at the rice on the ground, and threw the empty bowl aside: "Give the national teacher another bowl."

Huo Li Guwen was so angry that his body trembled and the steel chain on his wrist trembled and rippled The officer brought the meal again He twisted his head away and ignored it Sonam Gyatso was as normal Eat your own

Zeng Shiquan had an expression of "love to eat or not", and he ignored the stares of the three concubines, turned his head and asked in the direction of the cart: "How is it?"

Xiao Shengzi lifted the curtain and said: "Hui Zhangye, the little one just gave Hou Ye a bowl of porridge" Zeng Shiquan nodded and looked around and said: "Well, it's almost time to go" raised his hand and snapped his fingers The officers immediately moved to open the account and prepare for the horse Pack their bags Sonam Gyatso's meal is still half uneaten The bowl was snatched He is not annoyed Between the messy legs and the forest Ah Yao, who was lying on the wet grass, stretched out his hand with difficulty and picked up the rice pieces on the ground with mud and soil, and pressed them into his mouth one by one, his eyes were cold and resolute Fang Zhennuo glanced at her obliquely when he turned around, and then turned his eyes away

After setting off, the team followed the speed of the cart and walked leisurely and not nervously The officers expected that the Lushan side would be in full swing at this moment Even if Ji Yeping broke the siege in advance and informed the governor It would be better to rush over to ask for guilt as soon as possible Not to mention that An Siti copied in front of the boss Maybe he fiddled in front of the governor What is wrong The master is so unhurried It is really a little difficult to guess However, no one dares to mention the soul in his heart Walk out for more than an hour Suddenly saw two horses on the side of the road fell to the ground The officer replied after checking it: "Master, I don't know where the horse is." There is no saddle bridle, the foam on the side of the mouth is dry, it should be exhausted to death" Zeng Shiquan smiled and raised his whip to point forward, and the convoy continued to move forward and walked for more than forty miles without passing a town store, but looking at the dense forests and trees on both sides, the barren grass is getting deeper, and the path is gradually narrowing and difficult to walk, It seems that not far away, there is a smoky blue mountain range looming from the blue sky and white clouds, floating like floating dust

Zeng Shiquan raised his head and felt that the autumn breeze was blowing on his face, refreshing and pleasant Tao Ranzhong could hear a gurgling sound behind him When he looked back, it was Sonam Gyatso and Huoli Guwen who were talking At that time, his brows were furrowed, and he was about to turn the horse over Fang Zhennuo said: "Don't worry, the master is watching the mountains and scenery and expressing some emotion, not plotting how to escape Zeng Shiquan asked: "Do you know Tibetan" Fang Zhennuo smiled: "Do you know a little bit about Tibetan, but just now it was Master Sonam who spoke first Probably to take care of the emotions of Huo Li Guoshi Speaking Mongolian Zeng Shiquan's eyes were empty Suddenly, I heard the sound of "choking" drawing a knife, and the officers around me shouted loudly: "There is an ambush", "There are people in the grass", "Be careful of the vehicle, protect the master"
