tired spring return

The blue sky is bright, and people's hearts are in danger.

Master Xie, Minister of the Household Department, who died of illness a few days ago, was kicked out of the gate by Minzhi, the concubine of the top of the house and the weak crown, before his bones were completely cold.

The rich gates are closed tightly, and the road ahead is boundless.The only alms given to him by the official wife of the Xie Mansion was a staggering old servant who was nearly seventy years old and a shriveled bundle that was thrown on the ground.

The young master Min Zhixin said that although he looks weak, he is definitely not the generation who will be bullied by others.This forbearance is just out of the consideration of pushing the boat along the water and seeking benevolence.In this way, not only can the stepmother's resentment and jealousy be calmed down, but at the same time, the long-awaited freedom can be obtained. Why not do it?

So he immediately swore to heaven to change his biological mother's surname to Pei.Ambitiously, he got up from the ground, patted the dust off his buttocks, and supported each other with his old loyal servant Xie Bo, and walked away alone.

Maybe it's because of the many years of struggling in the environment of intrigue, Pei Minzhi has long given up on family property and status, let alone the slightest desire for fame and fortune.I just want to be free and take a trip in the world.

In order to allow Xie Boye to return to his roots, and to stay away from Yingtian, a place of right and wrong, the master and servant hired a carriage with a small amount of money, and decided to return to Xie Bo's hometown to settle down for the time being, and then slowly discuss long-term plans.Perhaps it is a pleasure to be a countryman and live an ordinary life.

Pei Minzhi patted the ass of the old horse with gray fur and sparse teeth in front of him, and said with emotion: "It really is a rare good horse!"

Glancing at Xie Bo, who was frowning, he added slowly: "Hey, I'm just as old and strong as you."

Xie Bo said angrily, "Sir, let's accumulate virtue."

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, the old horse chirped and dragged the two of them, passing by the market that was just lit up.The popular men's brothel Elephant Girl House had just lit up red lanterns and opened the door to welcome visitors, when a few waiters lifted a ragged man out of it and threw it on the side of the road.That person was so angry that he didn't react when he was thrown heavily on the ground. After a while, he was surrounded by a group of onlookers.

Pei Minzhi immediately stopped the old horse and got out of the car to join in the fun.

Through the gaps in the crowd, the man was covered by loose hair and tattered cloth, and Pei Minzhi could only see clearly his hand hanging aside.A pale, lifeless hand.It was filthy, so thin that only a handful of bones remained, but the bones were so exquisite that it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman at first glance.

When he took a closer look, the playful look on his face suddenly subsided.On the bony wrist of the man was a wooden bracelet, so poorly made and polished that it was not worth anything at first glance.The only bright spot is probably the small cut willow carved on the surface of the bracelet, the branches and leaves are dancing, full of spring, although it is outlined with a few simple strokes, it is quite agile.

Pei Minzhi's heart was shocked, because this wooden bracelet was carved by himself when he was a child!

When I was young, the Xie Mansion bought a servant named Ah Cheng.Because he was a concubine and his biological mother had passed away long ago, the son Min Zhi was neglected since he was a child.Ah Cheng's appearance and company made him experience the unique happiness.The two children who are similar in age and also lonely are quite sympathetic to each other.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Mrs. Xie couldn't see Ah Cheng's loyalty to the son, and deliberately found fault with him and drove him out of the mansion.

Young and ignorant feelings are often more sincere than adults.The parting is imminent, and the clothes are wet with tears.In ancient times, literati and poets had the custom of giving willows when they were parting, not to mention that the two had a vague feeling that since they parted, they might not have a chance to see each other again.So the little boy Minzhi also carved a small section of willow on the wooden bracelet he polished with his own hands, and gave it to Ah Cheng as a souvenir.As expected, in the long ten years since Ah Cheng left, there really was no more news.

When Minzhi came back to his senses, he immediately wanted to push away from the crowd to find out, but was stopped by the elderly Xie Bo.They managed to escape from the tiger's lair and the wolf's den, and now their two feet have not stepped out of the Xie family's sphere of influence, so it is really inappropriate to act rashly at this juncture to add controversy.

The young master is well aware of the truth, so he has to endure it for the time being.

Pei Minzhi swung his whip all the way, and urged the old horse to walk a few more miles, seeing that the horse couldn't even breathe properly, he still refused to give up.

Xie Bo sighed helplessly, "My lord, please be merciful."

Pei Minzhi hastily continued: "Uncle Xie, after leaving the city, there will be a wilderness, and it may be difficult to find a place to stay. The sun is about to end, and the horse can't move anymore. Why don't we find an inn to live in?" Next, let’s continue our journey after dawn.”

Xie Bo is as good as others.

"Cough cough cough, the young master is very right."

The master and the servant had been traveling for a long time, and they were indeed exhausted. They found a cheap inn, arranged the carriages and horses, and stayed there.After a simple dinner, Pei Minzhi helped Xie Bo back to his room early to rest.

He always remembered the person with the wooden bracelet in his heart, and held back for a long time in the dark, finally, after Xie Bo fell asleep, he slipped out of the room quietly, and borrowed a fast horse from the inn to turn back towards the South Pavilion.

Compared with before, the business of the Elephant and Aunt House has become more and more prosperous.But the person who was thrown in the corner has disappeared.Pei Minzhi felt unwilling, so she went up to ask the people doing business next to her one by one.

Since ancient times, the market place has been the place where the news from all walks of life is the most well-informed, and the place where secrets cannot be hidden the most.Pei Min knew that it would only take two or three hours to go back and forth this time, and everything about that person had become a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

"That young man is deaf and dumb, a useless person, and has a high fever. The one who came out of a place like the Xianggu House may have some kind of pickled disease. No one dared to care, so he was dragged away by the officials. gone."

Pei Minzhi frowned.

"How can you be a useless person?"

A few rough guys obviously misunderstood what he meant, and said with a sneer, "What's so special about this? Some guest officials just like this, and it might be more interesting for deaf and dumb people to do things."

Pei Minzhi was in a hurry, and was anxious to confirm whether that person was Ah Cheng, so he had to endure the vulgar laughter and continued to ask: "Is this person born with a handicap?"

"That's not true. It is said that when I first entered the restaurant, I was a hoarder. Who doesn't know about the dirty things here, and it has been tossed out of shape within a few years."

"I heard from the guys inside that I have never seen such a hard bone. I was tortured to death and couldn't turn this corner. My throat was crippled and I couldn't make a sound, so I bit people crazily and couldn't move my body. He was still thinking about biting his tongue and killing himself, bleeding all over his body. Oh, I don’t know how many guest officials I have offended and how many beatings I have received. This person really doesn’t want to live anymore. He had a high fever. Mr. Gui saw that people were really dying, and he died at some point. He was thrown out of the restaurant for fear of dying in bad luck, and he was left to fend for himself. Hey, he is also a hard-working man. "

"Who doesn't have a hard life in this world? I think he is stupid. How many people in this industry are willing to accept their fate? Aren't they all turned around in the end, and they are alive anyway. You have to use your arms to your thighs, isn't it? Do you want to die yourself?"

"Can you guys tell me the name of this person? But it's called Ah Cheng?" Pei Minzhi clasped his fists and shouted, interrupting the heated argument.

"My lord, when you enter this industry, you always pay attention to a nickname, who cares what his original name is?"

"Then where was he dragged?"

"Eighty percent of the infected people were thrown into random graves. It's hard to say if they've already been burned."

Pei Minzhi thanked everyone, and immediately galloped towards the messy graveyard.
