Chapter 122 Letter and Sausage
Following He Ran's instructions, Heitu first paid out twenty taels of silver to buy the person from that family. The man from that family spoke obscenely, and two fools jumped on him and beat him. With a smile on his face, Heitu allowed them to ridicule and curse, put down his money, and left with Liu Ruyan. That night, the yard of that house was flooded and a fire broke out. Two idiots took off their pants when they saw a woman, which caused a lot of trouble and even caused the family's new daughter-in-law to jump into the river. The parents of this family had eloped and had no relatives, so they were removed from their original place of residence ten years ago. Fortunately, I made money later and bought a piece of land at the foot of the mountain to build a new house. The house was remote and there were no neighbors around. That night, the villagers saw the blazing fire from a distance. Looking in the direction, they knew which house was on fire. However, no one went to put out the fire. The fire burned all night. The next day, they brought people from the Yamen over and found only a few bodies. Burnt corpses. Heitu didn't take Liu Ruyan back to Qingcang Mountain. He found a small courtyard and let Liu Ruyan live there. He asked a doctor to look at her injuries. There was almost no good place on Liu Ruyan's body. The doctor told Heitu that if he didn't With prompt medical attention, this woman would not have long to live. Kurotsuchi told the doctor that he must keep this woman alive no matter what. Under the doctor's treatment, Liu Ruyan's life was safe, but her body was very weak and she had to take care of herself. Kurotsuchi left two strong women to serve her. From then on, Liu Ruyan was raised in this small yard. She was fed and drank well, but no money was given to her, not even a penny.
After Heitu came back, he told He Ran about the incident and asked, "Master, are we going to support that woman for the rest of our lives?" He Ran smiled and said nothing. After Heitu left, He Ran called Zhou Jian over and asked, "Do you miss your biological mother?" A gloomy look flashed across Zhou Jian's fair face. He knew how to read and read. He saw the world outside Huajie and Liuxiang. He finally understood that no matter how noble his birth was, he was also how low he was. He hoped that he would be the best in his dreams. I grew up in a charity house, not on Flower Street. As for his biological mother, he hadn't thought of her for a long time. In fact, the woman never gave him maternal love, and she often beat and scolded him for her guests. Therefore, after the woman left, other than having no place to live, he didn't feel that he was missing anything. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at He Ran's face. He was worried that He Ran would think he was unfilial. Mr. Bai often said that filial piety begins with the hair and skin of the body, which is received by parents and dare not damage. He Ran looked at the top of his hair, waiting for his answer. Zhou Jian's hands that were huddled in his sleeves were covered in sweat. After a while, he raised his head and said, "She is not good to me. I don't miss her." He Ran smiled and reached out to touch his head: "It's time to go to class, go ahead." Zhou Jian took a long breath. His sister did not reprimand him or say he was unfilial. Looking at his relieved back, He Ran's eyes gradually deepened. Liu Ruyan is a sword left to Zhou Jian. Hopefully this sword will never be used. Xiaoba flew in from outside: "With the little pretty face gone, life has no direction." He Ran laughed. She knew who the pretty boy in Xiaoba's mouth was, Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen was sent to Maple Ridge for military training by her. He had been there for a month, and now it was time to go and see him. "Let's go and see the pretty girl." He Ran said. Xiaoba cheered and flew out first.
It's extremely cold at high places, but Mr. Ba is not cold now, but he is very lonely. Even the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village won't quarrel with it, so he can't live this life. He Ran didn't go empty-handed. When she saw sausages being dried in a yard, she bought a few. In the mountains, this was a good thing. Lu Zhen was lying on a big rock, looking at the blue sky in a daze, when suddenly a green bird appeared in his field of vision: "The eighth master has arrived, but he is not far away to greet you." Bah, no one welcomes me, only this shameless bird. Lu Zhen waved his hand, and Xiaoba flew up before his hand touched her: "The master is here, the master is here, Master Ba's backer is here, hum!" Lu Zhen was startled and hurriedly reached out to touch his hair, wondering if it had been scratched by the dead bird. Lu Zhen ran up the hillside at full speed and saw the figures of two riders approaching from far away. Those must be He Ran and Xiaoli. "I didn't lie to you, the boss is really here." Xiao Ba said proudly. Lu Zhen tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, ran down the hillside, and shouted to the soldiers who were resting in place: "Line up and continue training!" He wanted her to see that he was not a useless second generation ancestor, never had been!
He Ran dismounted from a distance, folded his arms and looked at the soldiers who were practicing. These were all newcomers, and they had already practiced well in a month. Lu Zhen's heart was beating fast. He Ran was here and He Ran was looking at him. But he didn't dare to look back, he was afraid of seeing He Ran's eyes again, as if he were looking at his grandson. He wanted to prove to her that he was not a child, he was a man, a man who could go into battle and kill the enemy!
He Ran watched for a while and then came over. Lu Zhen seemed to have just learned that she was coming. His face was full of surprise: "Master He He, why are you here?" Before he finished speaking, Xiaoba shouted: "He's just pretending." How many ways to eat Lu Zhenniao? He Ran held back her laughter and said to Lu Zhen: "The training was good, they all made progress." Lu Zhen looked serious: "No, they are far from enough. Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely build them into the most elite force!" Xiaoba: "him" Lu Zhen cast a pleading look, and Xiaoba finally swallowed back what he said. The pretty boy was lying. He was clearly lying there just now and being lazy. Xiaoba endured it, and when Lu Zhen went to practice again, Xiaoba quickly told He Ran about seeing Lu Zhen being lazy. The eighth master and the eldest master are one family. He Ran went to the barracks and looked at the soldiers' food. Lu Zhen didn't turn on a small stove for himself. Except for sleeping in a separate room, he was the same as the soldiers here. Cook in the same cauldron and bathe in the same stream. He Ran went to see the female soldiers' barracks again. The treatment of female soldiers was better than that of male soldiers, and there was also a bathing place, which she had specially used when she was in Maple Leaf Ridge. Xiaoli delivered the rations she brought to the cook camp. When it was time to eat, He Ran lined up with everyone to get food, and then squatted on the hillside to eat. While eating, she remembered that she had brought something for Lu Zhen. One is the letter and the other is the sausage. The letter came from the capital. There were two letters in one envelope, one from Li Jinxiu and one from Lu Chang. A flash of disappointment flashed in Lu Zhen's eyes. His father and mother still didn't give him a word.
