Chapter 6 Chapter 6
After this battle, Shen Yu gradually discovered that although Zanyuan was young, he was quite knowledgeable, not only in calligraphy.After showing his skills, Zan Yuan seemed to have given up the idea of hiding his clumsiness. He could also keenly point out the slight omissions in Shen Yu's recitation of "Four Books" and "Five Classics".
However, since Zan Yuan is a young gentleman from a wealthy family, it is only natural that he is erudite and general knowledge, so of course he cannot compare.Shen Yu thought so, and accepted the fact frankly.
If the torrential rain can always pass after a short rest, then another problem, mosquitoes, is even more troublesome.
The temperature is getting higher and higher, and you will sweat when you walk at night, and it is inconvenient to take a bath.Everyone was annoyed by fly bites during breaks.It's nothing but itching, but the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies keeps people from sleeping and concentrating.Only by covering the whole body with a quilt can I not hear the sound, but after waking up, I am sweating again, and it goes on and on, a vicious circle.
The children are alright, the little bald head has two bumps on it, and it's over, but the grown-ups with curly hair have to endure the dryness and itching of their foreheads.
The farmers swear all day long, and Zanyuan is also listless.
I don't know if the mosquitoes in the wild are too poisonous, but there are big and small red envelopes on the place where he was bitten, which is very scary.Moreover, those pimples were itchy and painful, and he couldn't help scratching them, and he often felt dizzy and dizzy, and he didn't know whether he was hungry or poisoned.
"This won't work." Shen Yu frowned just seeing the dense red bumps on Zan Yuan's thin white arms, "Is it itchy on your body? Does it hurt? Let me see?"
Zan Yuan also felt ugly, and refused to take off his clothes to let Shen Yu see his body.The more he clutched his clothes and refused to take them off, the more worried Shen Yu became.
"You don't know the severity. What if you are really poisoned? Let me see, and you don't have to worry."
Zan Yuan's head shook like a rattle, and his right hand tightened his collar.
At the beginning, Shen Yu tried to persuade him, but in the end she was angry and funny, gnashing her teeth and pounced on him to tear off his clothes, "What are you afraid of? You are not a little lady! Besides, I saw your body last time!"
He originally wanted to say that he saw the red marks on Zan Yuan's back on the first night, but he blushed first when he said something that didn't convey his meaning.Fortunately, the dense red envelopes on Zan Yuan's body made him restrain himself a little.Zan Yuan didn't struggle, An An was lying on his side and looked at him, his eyes were round and round, and the black pupils were like cat's eyes under the light.
In the end, Shen Yu ventured out for a trip, and when she came back, she brought a few leaves, which were jagged and had no obvious meaning.Zan Yuan was about to tease a few words, but Shen Yu said with a serious face: "Get down, take off your clothes."
Zan Yuan obeyed obediently.
Shen Yu chewed the grass leaves into a paste, spit it out, and applied it to the red and swollen area.With chewing, the tip of the tongue gradually became numb.But he didn't hesitate, chewed all the leaves he brought back and applied them on, and then slowly spread them evenly on Zan Yuan's back with his fingers.
A cool feeling came from the back, relieving the itching and pain for days, as if the mind was cleared up in an instant.Zan Yuan snorted a few times comfortably, and for a moment seemed to return to the days when there were people waiting for him. "What kind of medicine is this, so effective?"
Shen Yu didn't answer, partly because she didn't want Zan Yuan to know how the medicine was applied, and partly because her tongue was numb and it was difficult to speak.
Shen Yu's fingers brushed across Zan Yuan's skin with a hint of coolness.This is completely different from the maid who served him before.The maid's fingers were warm and soft, massaging his whole body, making him relax and lazily.As for Shen Yu's fingers, they were calloused, slightly cold, with just the right amount of strength, and he became more and more awake.
It looks very strong, but it softens no matter how you write it.Zan Yuan muttered to himself.
"Why do you know this?" Zan Yuan couldn't bear the embarrassment of not making a sound.
Shen Yu stuck out her tongue, and finally managed to speak. "Grandpa taught me some."
He stopped and wiped his fingers with a handkerchief. "alright."
Sure enough, within two days, the red bumps on Zan Yuan's body disappeared.
And the child with dysentery still left, amidst his mother's heartbreaking cries.At least he kept all his clothes on, and lay quietly in the hole his father had dug.Finally, a small mound was filled, leaving only shallow bumps and a tree branch as a symbol—I don’t know if I will meet my family in this life.
His mother was crying heartbroken, but his father just stared at the mound, finally turned his head and closed his eyes in pain. "Better be a dog of peace than be a troubled person!"
Zan Yuan tensed up, his fingertips trembled, Shen Yu covered his ears with his hands, forcing him to turn around. "Don't listen." He murmured softly.
Zan Yuan unexpectedly remembered what Shen Yu once said: "If you want more people to be saved, you can only hope that the imperial court will put down the rebellion quickly and regain the lost ground." Tighten your fist.
Fortunately, Xiangzhou is finally getting closer.
When you arrive in Xiangzhou, you have returned to the land under the rule of the Holy One. At least you don’t have to be afraid of being called a traitor or traitor, and you don’t have to be afraid of being robbed of women’s property by Xianbei slaves who suddenly appear, or being arrested by rebels. Everyone dares to go out during the day up.
All had the same idea in their hearts, and it was getting more and more intense.For a time, heavy rain, mosquitoes, and hunger were no longer obstacles, and the speed of travel increased a lot.
at last!
When they saw the majestic city and the majestic guards with swords and bows on their backs, the old people couldn't help crying.Only Shen Mu maintained his identity and remained calm, handing over yellow stickers from the whole family, begging the soldiers to allow them to enter.
Xiangzhou has accepted many refugees who escaped from Henan Province.Shen Mu has fame and fame, and he is kind to this group of people, and his status is outstanding among these hundreds of people.The guard took the yellow book, and after knowing that it was a juren, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately reported it to Feng Yuandao, the governor of Xiangzhou.
Due to the large number of refugees, Feng Yuandao personally sat down to make arrangements. After receiving the news, he immediately ordered to meet the Shen family in person.
When the group entered the city, they were first settled in a tile-roofed house in the west of the city. After the land was divided, the government would borrow seeds from the government. Land and houses can always be exchanged for a bite of food.
After settling down, Shen Mu's family got the news that Lord Inspector wanted to see them.
Shen Mu looked up and down at his children and grandchildren, and couldn't help shaking his head, "How can I go to see the adults like this?"
The little official who came to pass the letter said with a smile: "Where is Mr. Shen, you have worked hard all the way. Your lord knows it well. After bathing and changing clothes, you will go to the mansion. Naturally, there will be time." After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to bring clean cotton clothes. He breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Mr. Feng for his consideration again and again.
The children of the Shen family went to bathe and change their clothes, rubbing off the plaster all over their bodies.
However, Shen Yu noticed that since entering the city, Zan Yuan's behavior was a little strange: he scratched his head and vacillated, and he was completely different from his usual demeanor-focused appearance.
Shen Yu had anticipated what was on his mind, "Are you in a hurry to find your family? Why don't I ask your grandfather to intercede for you when you meet the governor? The refugees who enter Xiangzhou every day are registered and compiled, and you will naturally know it. .”
"Well, that's fine." Zan Yuan replied vaguely.
Shen Yu thought for a while, then clapped her hands, "Yes, why don't you go with us? My lord may have some questions to ask you. We have met this time, so I don't want to bother you anymore."
Zan Yuan licked his lips. "Is this suitable?"
"I don't think it's any problem, I'll take you to see your grandfather right away." Shen Yu lowered his head and mulled over his words for a while, then checked their robes and accessories, and led him into Shen Mu's room.
"How can this be done?" Hearing his grandson's suggestion, Shen Mu subconsciously frowned. "My lord calls to see our family, how can Barbado take someone there?"
Shen Yu had already thought about her speech, "My lord just wants to see you, your father, and your uncles. Our children are just asking casually. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. Besides, if you want to help Zan Yuan find his family, there is nothing better than this." It’s time. If we ask for help on our behalf, and the adults ask questions and cannot answer them, it will waste the adults’ time in vain.”
Zan Yuan watched from the side, but didn't answer.After taking a bath, he tied up his smooth black hair, put on a cloth robe, and turned into a well-clothed young man again.Shen Mu looked at him, then at the persistent grandson, and gave in, "Okay, let's go together."
There was an extra one in Shen's family for no apparent reason, but it didn't matter to the others, Saburo and Shen Tai's expression was quite subtle.But he looked at his eldest brother and nephew, and just snorted, but didn't say anything unpleasant.
Most of the people in the west of the city were refugees, Shen Mu insisted on his identity, and he didn't want to socialize with the peasants, so he led them to the government office, and as soon as they got on the main road, they heard the clatter of horseshoes.
"Be careful, father!"
Shen He moved quickly, pulled Shen Mu aside, and only a few fast horses flashed by. The people on the horses did not stop at all, and drove away, the ground was full of dust, mixed with their voices of talking and laughing:
"Wang Baihu, how does it feel to learn how to ride a horse!"
"You won't slow down, what if you bump into someone!"
"What are you afraid of? It's your luck that you really hit it. You may not be willing to hit it with your bow and arrow!"
"However, a small family of a hundred dares to be domineering here." Shen Mu rubbed his waist and sighed again and again.Shen He stared at the gradually dissipating dust and frowned slightly.
As soon as they entered the government office, the small official received them warmly and respectfully, and passed them on for them.It's nothing to raise people to show off talents, but high-ranking officials may not be able to do good deeds of giving up food and clothing to help others in the age of war and chaos.
"In the first year of Xuanqing's Ding Chou Division B list, Shen Mu met the governor." Shen Mu led his descendants and bowed meticulously.Zan Yuan stood still at first, but finally he also bent his knees.Among the three brothers, Dalang Shenhe is a juren like his father, Erlang Shenrong is a scholar, Du Shentai and the younger generation are white.
Feng Yuandao naturally refused to accept the full ceremony, he stepped forward to help Shen Mu up, and motioned for others to stand up.
Everyone raised their heads, Feng Yuandao finally saw Zan Yuan behind him clearly, and instantly showed a surprised expression.
"This is...?" Feng Yuandao's surprise lasted for a moment, and then he sorted it into a proper question.
