Chapter 86 Huzhou Zhao Family
Back at the inn, Sizhu went to carry the water and put it on the table: "Miss, it's warm."

Zhao Yan looked at the water on the table, motionless and tired.

"Miss, is your body still uncomfortable?" Si Zhu asked again.

Zhao Yan glanced at her, raised her head and looked towards the door.

After the little girl came back, she suddenly stopped there when she entered the door, and is now looking up at the mountains in the distance.

"Miss, why are you looking at her?" Sizhu also looked at Xia Zhaoyi and pouted, "It's a shame that it's in this backcountry. If it's in our Huzhou, I'll make her look good."

"It's not the people I met on the road that bother me," Zhao Yan retracted her eyes, frowning, "I'm afraid that we won't be able to catch up with Shen Shen, what will happen to my father's illness then."

"That's why we shouldn't have come out at all," Sizhu curled his lips again and said angrily, "We can't catch up anyway..."

Zhao Yan immediately looked at her in disgust: "What nonsense!"

Sizhu lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

The area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a land of fish and rice, rich and fertile, and the ancestors of the Zhao family started to run wineries. They were well versed in the art of winemaking. more.

But the family property is getting richer day by day, and the silver taels are full of boxes after boxes, but the number of people is getting fewer and fewer.

In this generation, there is only one Master Zhao, Zhao Li, and the eldest Miss Zhao Ning, who disappeared in the early years.

Zhao Li has two sons and two daughters. The son Zhao Wen is ten years old this year, the eldest daughter Zhao Hui is over seventeen years old, and the second daughter Zhao Yan is fifteen years old this year.

Zhao Li was seriously ill, and he was lying on the couch for a long time.

Sister Zhao refused, and sent people to ask around and seek medical treatment in many ways. Later, I heard that there was a Shen Shen doctor with excellent medical skills. If he can no longer have children, then this disease will really be useless.

However, according to Shen Shen's rule, when parents are sick, they have to ask their children.Anyway, he had to beg to him in person, and if anyone was sent to look for him, he would never be seen.

If he is alone, without father, mother and brother, he will directly refuse.Legend has it that he personally said that this type of person, Tiansha Lone Star, is in chaos everywhere, and is unlucky.

Zhao Yan couldn't bear to see her father die from such a disease, so she went to the temple to ask for a lottery.

When I came out, I brought a bunch of guards, but when I passed by Peifeng, I encountered a large number of disaster victims and various unexpected situations. Served.

After more than two months of tossing, she couldn't bear it, but there was no sound in the letter, she didn't know what was going on at home, and her father's tone was still there.

She wanted to go back several times, but every time she inquired, she found that Shen Shenyi was not far from her. This kind of unwillingness was really going to grind people to death.

Zhao Yan picked up the water on the table and said it was warm, rather than cold.

She was in no mood to drink and put it back on the table: "I'm hungry."

"Miss, wait a minute," Sizhu stood up and looked at the kitchen on the other side of the backyard, "What about the food I promised earlier, bring it here! My lady is hungry!"

The shopkeeper responded, urging his subordinates to quickly take out the hidden things.

A small organ is set up in the kitchen, and when a horse thief comes, just push the counters where the food is placed.

But it is not so easy to take it out, the whole card is stuck underneath, and it takes a lot of effort.

Xia Zhaoyi was still at the door, looking at the top of the mountain over there.

When she entered the inn just now, she raised her head, and saw a large white flag waving on the top of the mountain.

It is very regular, and it is a little difficult to shake, and it can be faintly seen that two or three people are shaking it together.

There should be a post there. How far the horse thief has gone is expressed in the number of times the flag is waved.

She felt the pattern and calculated the footsteps of the horse thieves, and she could probably guess the distance represented by one shake.

Xia Zhaoyi retracted her gaze and walked towards the inn.

Seeing her coming in, Sizhu said, "How about this, do you want this article from me?"

The tone was a bit yin and yang, but Xia Zhaoyi didn't say anything, and calmly went to take the medicine bowl that was on the table before and sent it to the back of the kitchen.

"Hey! I'm deaf!" Sizhu cried proudly when she saw that she was silent.

Previously, the way she was stared at by this girl always felt awkward and uncomfortable. This feeling of being a dwarf for no reason annoyed her very much. Now, in reverse, she felt a sense of relief.

The shopkeeper and a few inn guys are still moving cabinets over there.

Xia Zhaoyi stood by and looked at them. The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and pointed to the table beside him: "You can put it there, girl."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled slightly: "The shopkeeper, you are working hard with brute force like this."

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly, his face turned red, shouted slogans with those guys, and moved the cabinets up.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the array, turned and put the bowl on the table over there: "The shopkeeper, I'm leaving."

"Got it!" the shopkeeper shouted casually.

Back in the lobby, Xia Zhaoyi stepped on the wooden ladder and went upstairs.

She had eaten early and was not hungry now. She put the bag next to the table, took out a candle to light it, took out the newly bought pen and ink from the bag, poured some water from the bamboo tube on the inkstone, and rubbed it gently.

But when the pen was about to write, the tip of her pen stopped there.

After thinking for a while, she wrote the word "brother" on the paper.

But what to write next, I hesitated for a long time.

The light of the candle was very dim, and the evening wind outside the window suddenly blew open the sash, and the candle flickered.

What to say?

Say what?

After that, how do I send the letter?

Will this kind of thing be believed?

Moreover, such unprovoked letters are most likely not even sent by the imperial government.

The word "brother" on the paper, the ink stains have dried.

Xia Zhaoyi lightly squeezed the thin paper with her left hand, paused for a while, then suddenly kneaded the paper into a ball and placed it beside the inkstone.

After dipping in ink, she wrote the word "Master" on the paper again.

When it comes to Master, she is full of heart, and she didn't hesitate to write this time, and she quickly dropped the ink word by word.

...What happened to me is unbelievable, but I am definitely alive, a young girl, I don't know where I came from, and I live in a bandit village. People are not as good as dogs...

As I wrote, my nose suddenly became sour.

She recalled Master's gaze and expression on the day she left Liling.

As quiet as usual, neither sad nor happy, calm like an ancient well.

"Do you know that if you go, you will die, and our master and apprentice will not be able to see each other in this life." The master said.

She kowtowed heavily and said in a hoarse voice, "My disciple is not filial."

"Then go, don't look back."

She got up and left, said "Master is precious", then got on the horse and never looked back.

Between the master and her, the two of them never spoke much, even if they were parting from life or death, they were so bland and no words were given.
