Chapter 223 Zhang Xiaohua's First...Crisis

The two girls rescued in the woods were traveling in a carriage. They must have been accompanied by at least a coachman before they were robbed. There was no trace of the coachman in the woods, and there was no corpse. They must have left first. At this time , The groom went home to report the letter, and came to rescue people with the help of the government, which was also expected.

However, this time was delayed, if there were no Zhang Xiaohua and others, the girl's end would be miserable.

With this idea in mind, Zhang Xiaohua distanced herself from the carriage intentionally or unintentionally.

That is, whoever has the silver he just robbed in his pocket will not want to see these people, even those who are brave and righteous.

Although Zhang Xiaohu didn't understand what Zhang Xiaohua meant, he gradually slowed down his horse.

Sure enough, the two women in the carriage also heard the sound, looked up, the more they looked, the more pleasantly surprised they were on their faces, and finally, when they recognized each other clearly, the two women stood on the carriage regardless of whether their clothes were neat or not, and looked towards the approaching The crowd beckoned.

Only after the crowd entered did they understand that first there was a man from the government on a horse, tall and tall, holding a simple knife in his hand, and then two white-haired old men with bright clothes, their faces full of The surprise was sitting on a horse, surrounded by three or four young men on horseback with weapons in their hands, and behind them were seven or eight guards who didn't ride horses, and a dozen or so peasants with rakes and sickles in their hands.

The leading man from the government also had sharp eyes. He saw the two women in the carriage beckoning, and immediately led the crowd to the front. The old man had tears in his eyes before he arrived, and shouted: "Feng'er, my My son." The other was even more lip trembling and unable to speak.

When the two girls saw their relatives, they couldn't hold back their emotions any longer, and called for their father, tears streaming down their faces, and when the two old men got off their horses, they each looked for their fathers, threw themselves into their arms, and cried bitterly.

Those yamen servants and helpers who followed immediately surrounded the carriage with a professional look, holding weapons on guard, as if they could attack the hateful bandits head-on at any time.

The leading man from the government even drew out his simple knife and rode around on horseback, looking at this and that from time to time, trying to find traces of bandits among the people around him.

The two women were crying in the dark, the avenue was a little blocked, and some of them wanted to join in the fun, but the high-spirited look of the official man made people feel divided, which avoided the big crowd on the official road. clogged. At this time, it was getting late, and the head of the official mansion had been wandering around for a long time, and there was no clue, and it was very boring, so he got off his horse and went to the miserable father and daughter of the two teams and said: "In addition to the two members of Li Gao, since the two daughters have found It's not a problem to just cry and cry here, even if you ask something, after all, it involves the girl's innocence, so it's inconvenient, isn't it, why don't you go home first, reunite with your relatives first, and ask the reason carefully Ask, how about doing more calculations?"

Only then did the two old men wipe away their tears, and they talked very well, and then they packed up their horses and boarded the carriage. A long time ago, the servants of the yamen pulled the driver who was hired immediately aside, and replaced them with their own people. The driver smiled and said: "Boss, the younger one was just drinking tea in the tea shed, and was hired by a boy riding a horse for a penny to drive the carriage for them. Now that you are all here, the younger one is returning to the tea shed. Let's drink tea."

"Young man?" The team leader heard this, and looked around quickly. This is not an empty road, where is there a young man riding a horse? Thinking about it carefully, I still have a detailed memory. When I first arrived, there were indeed two riders behind the carriage, but I didn't pay attention at the time, so naturally I didn't see it clearly. Could it be that they are bandits?

At this time, the two girls also came to their senses. They were only focused on venting their grievances, but they forgot their savior. If they look for it at this time, where is there still a trace? The two had no choice but to make up their minds and wait until they got home.

The boy could not be found, so the team leader said to the driver: "There is no witness, you are the only witness besides the two girls, please come with us, you don't have to speak now, but you Every word I say can be used as evidence in court,

Forward it to our county magistrate. "

"Oh my god~ Leader, Master Qingtian, I am wronged, I was just greedy for a penny, with a noble heart in my heart to help others, I just drove the car, it was only a cup of tea time from the time I drove the car, you Just take me away? I have been law-abiding all my life, and I have never been to the Yamen."

"Hehe, according to what you said, our yamen is an advanced work unit in Lu Town, and we have always followed the policy of 'we will never let a bad person go, but we will never wrong a good person', so don't worry, besides , with your driving skills, you can earn a penny with a cup of tea, who will believe you? You should obediently cooperate with our investigation and go to the yamen to drink tea first."

It can't be explained that after trapping the driver, the yamen servants went to Lu Town arrogantly. The people who rescued the two girls were also in a happy mood, their kindness was greatly satisfied, and they followed back noisily with sickles and hoes.

Only the two girls looked back from time to time, as if they wanted to find the lay disciples of Dalin Temple on the road that was getting dark.

In fact, as early as the two girls stood up and waved to the elders in the crowd, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu stopped. They didn't mind being heroes, being cheered by everyone, and their self-esteem was satisfied. Xie Yi, but the intervention of officials from the government is a bit of a headache. These people always appear when the work is over, and they always come out when they are earning merit. However, their earning merit is justified, even justified. Invite you to the yamen for tea, check your three generations, and interpret your heroic behavior as a natural reaction of despicable psychology. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu retreated, just as the gang of yamen servants and townspeople took As the carriage drew up, the two urged the horse to pass them by.

Nonsense, it's getting dark, if you don't hurry, you may not be able to go back to Guozhuang before dark at night.

The two rode horses along the main road and went straight to Lu Town. When they reached the small town, they turned and turned to the north. It was a familiar road leading to Guozhuang.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. Zhang Xiaohu didn't ask Zhang Xiaohua why he pretended to be a lay disciple of Dalin Temple, or why he robbed bandits of money, or why he didn't go up to claim the honor of being brave. Because, Zhang Xiaohu felt more and more that his younger brother was slowly maturing, slowly doing things he couldn't do, slowly getting out of his care, and gradually changing from the role of protector to being protected. Or, or a supporting role change.

The most important thing is that neither of these two brothers wants to talk, and they are savoring the taste of returning home, this strong feeling of homesickness that envelops the whole body and mind.

Being close to the hometown is the feeling of every wanderer. The closer you are to home, the more timid you are.

The road from Pingyang City to Luzhen just now was not familiar. It was just a desire to go home, but it was still in my mind, but now, I walked on the familiar road. Touched, spread in the whole body and mind, lazy, feeling of not wanting to move, feeling of peace of mind, comfortable feeling, even the true energy in Zhang Xiaohua's meridians is a little unwilling to flow, and Zhang Xiaohua is walking on this familiar road. At this moment, the involuntary feeling immediately raised his mood much higher, and he felt quite enlightened.

The sun in the west has already set, leaving only a sliver of bright red in the sky, faint, faint, and the whole earth is dim. In the blue sky in the east, some stars have already flashed, and they are blinking, looking forward to Zhang Xiaohua's return home way.

The ancients said it well: the old cow also understands that time is precious, and it does not raise its whip.

This handsome horse also knew it, and seemed to feel that the two were returning home like an arrow. When the horse reached this avenue, it would naturally run faster than the front. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know how the second brother felt, he just thought, Don't know what the house will look like? My parents must be getting old, I haven't seen each other for two years, and I worry about it at home, my hair must be a lot grayer, and there are more wrinkles on my face, where is my eldest brother? He is the only one in the family, and he does a lot of work, so he won't be tired and bent at a young age, right?

There is also the elder sister-in-law, who used to be Xiaojia Biyu, married to Guozhuang, and became a peasant daughter-in-law. She must have thick hands and her face may not be as fair as before. Alas, the family relies on digging the soil for food, can it work without going to the ground? It's windy and rainy, and I don't know if my sister-in-law is used to it.

By the way, there is also Mr. Liu, I don't know if he is used to living in Guozhuang. When I left, I saw that he was in good spirits. I haven't seen him for two years. Is he in good health?

I don’t know if the chickens, ducklings, and big fat pigs at home are okay. Well, I asked my mother to butcher a fat pig. I haven’t eaten the braised pork made by my mother for a long time. How much I miss it!

Also, the grandma's cemetery has never been incensed for her old man. Is it okay for her old man to be in another country? Can you see your thoughts?

Before she knew it, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was surging, her mind was full of thoughts, and all kinds of thoughts came rushing in. The qi that had been lazy just now suddenly became stimulated and flowed suddenly. Zhang Xiaohua didn't notice it, and gradually lost it control.

If we talk about this journey of cultivation, what we are talking about is balance. Zhang Xiaohua has always entered the realm slowly. The perception of true energy and the practice of entraining energy are extremely slow. The vitality between heaven and earth is limited, how can it catch up with Zhang Xiaohua's use?

But Zhang Xiaohua's mental state cultivation, under his repeated impressions, has advanced by leaps and bounds, and due to some unknown factors, he has reached a stage of thin concentration and thick development, and his shallow skill has long been unable to match his own state of mind. On weekdays, her mood was indifferent and not prominent, but this time when she returned to her hometown, her mood was agitated, and Zhang Xiaohua's first crisis since she practiced immediately appeared.
