Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 835
A father Meng drove a flock of sheep back to the village with his back against the setting sun.His footsteps are brisk, his expression is leisurely, and he looks like a fairy.

Under the big poplar tree at the head of the village, Sun Erlang has sharp eyes.Jumping up all of a sudden, he said, "Daddy Meng is back! His family has raised dozens of sheep, like babies, and they will be let out when the weather is better. Finding him during the day is harder than going to heaven!"

After speaking, go up quickly.He said to Father Meng: "Father, elder brother joined the army and made meritorious service in Suide!"

Father Meng took his time and said casually: "Which army did the elder brother join? What merits have you made?"

At this moment, an official hurried up to meet him.He said to Meng's father: "I heard from these people that you are Meng Du's father?"

Father Meng looked the officials up and down, nodded and said, "That's right, Mengdu is the eldest brother in my family."

The official said: "Mengdu killed 130 or four enemies in the battle of Dantouzhai, and he is the first in terms of military merit. Unfortunately, he was ambushed by the Jin army in the battle and died for the country. Award him the honor of guarding the army to reward him for his meritorious service."

Father Meng was stunned when he heard this.After a long time, he said: "What is the guard? My family does not understand these methods. I only know that since Ada died in the battle for the country, has his body returned?"

The official said: "It has already been transported back to Huazhou, and it is now Pucheng County. Zhizhou will personally protect him to return to his hometown for burial, and he will go to the village tomorrow. I will come to inform you today. Don't ask Zhizhou to come tomorrow, but no one will welcome him."

Meng Adie said: "Dalang has been using guns and sticks since he was a child. He is not a farmer. I don't know how much I have spent on him when I was 19 years old. Fortunately, I didn't go astray in the end. I was able to be loyal to the country. It’s on the right track. Since he’s dead, I’ll transport him back to the village, and I’ll bury him properly. How big is the Zhizhou official? There must be many things to be busy every day, so there’s no need to come to the village.”

The official smiled bitterly: "Meng is a meritorious soldier who protects the army. He must be buried by the magistrate himself, and his family members must be buriald. After the temple is built in the future, family members will be responsible for the sacrifice. Don't worry, the funeral will be arranged by the government. .”

Father Meng couldn't understand, of course he presided over his son's funeral, how could it be arranged by the government?What's more, building temples and offering sacrifices can only be enjoyed by great heroes, and it is absolutely impossible for his own son to enjoy it.

The officials explained that their tongues were sore, but they really couldn't understand.He had no choice but to say: "Tomorrow Zhizhou will escort Meng Hujun's body back to the village. Father just needs to welcome him. Don't bother with other matters."

After speaking, he looked at the sky and left in a hurry.

Father Meng still couldn't understand, and wanted to stop the official to ask again, but saw that he had gone too far.

Other people in the village talked about it, but they didn't understand what the official position of the guard was, and what the status was after death.However, escorting the corpse back to the hometown by Zhizhou must be a great contribution, a high honor, enough to be the pride of the village.After discussing, we decided to celebrate tonight.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Father Meng said calmly: "If you want to celebrate, go celebrate. I lost a son, why don't you go to drink?"

After finishing speaking, he drove the sheep away and went back to the village slowly.It's just that the steps are heavy, and it's not as cheerful as before.

Mengdu is the eldest in the family. He has been fond of fists, kicks, guns and sticks since he was a child, causing many troubles.Meng's father is an ordinary family. He cultivates dozens of acres of Susukida and raises a flock of sheep to herd in his free time.It is impossible to hire a master for Mengdu, so he can only mess around.When Meng Du was 13 years old, Meng's father saw that he was too rough in the countryside, so he asked him to find some odd jobs in the county town.Anyway, earn some money to supplement the family.

After Wang Xiaolie captured Shanzhou this year, he once recruited troops in Guanzhong.Meng Du didn't say hello to his family, so he went to Shanzhou to serve as a soldier with a few partners.Later, he was elected into Jiang Min's army and went to fight in northern Shaanxi.After that, he died in battle outside Dantou Village.

Father Meng returned home, closed the sheep, pulled a high chair in the yard, and sat watching the sunset in the sky.

The wife came out of the house and said: "Sun Erlang took an official and said that our Dalang had made meritorious service, and I don't know what reward he received. I couldn't understand what they said, so I went to the village to wait for you .”

Father Meng said: "I see. Da Lang has made meritorious service in the front line. I don't know what kind of rewards he got, and my country people can't understand. ——Fucker, Da Lang died in the front line! These rewards should be because of He's dead—"

After hearing this, the wife stayed where she was for a while, standing there stupidly.After a long time, he said, "Is Da Lang dead?"

After speaking, he took a handful of firewood, turned around and went back to light the fire.After burning for a while, there was the sound of crying inside.

Erlang ran out from the house, grabbed Father Meng's sleeve and said, "Father, Mommy is crying in the room for some reason, please go in and have a look."

Father Meng pulled Erlang into his arms, patted him on the back and said, "If mom wants to cry, just cry. How can you not cry?"

After speaking, he sighed.Looking at the setting sun in the sky, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

People in the village stood at the entrance of the village, looking helplessly at the road from the county town to the village.The road is very narrow, and I know that the ceremonial guards of Zhizhou will not be able to walk.

The sun had risen to mid-air, and there was no one on the road.Sun Erlang swallowed, and wanted to ask Zhizhou if he was still coming.Turning around, there were so many people standing around, no one spoke, and swallowed the words obediently.

Until it was almost noon, some people couldn't help but want to go back.Finally, a figure appeared in front of him, becoming clearer and clearer.

Li Zheng Li Quming was overjoyed and hurriedly led the villagers to meet him.

When he got closer, he saw a group of soldiers.These soldiers had bright armor, and when they saw the villagers coming up to meet them, they suddenly put their guns on their shoulders.The uniform movements surprised the villagers.

Beside the soldiers is a troupe of musical instruments.Seeing people from the village coming up to meet them, the people in front suddenly raised the long horns in their hands and brought them to their mouths.I heard the horns of "Woo, woo" sounded in the team, and suddenly the horns sounded together.The voice was low and sobbing, but it spread far away, like weeping and complaining.

The villagers were taken aback and quickly stood where they were.

With the sound of trumpets, the sounds of small suona, sheng and xiao gradually joined in.The villagers couldn't tell what song it was, they just felt it was very tragic.

Hearing the music, Ji Yuzhong got off his horse and hurried to the front.Seeing the villagers, they hurried forward to meet them.

Li Quming is Li Zheng and has some knowledge.Looking at the official uniform, he recognized that the person who came was Zhizhou, and he hurriedly bowed to salute.

Ji and Zhongming Li Quming got up and asked, "Where are Meng Hujun's family members? Are your parents here?"

Li Quming hurriedly turned around and shouted to the back: "Father Meng, welcome your son's coffin, why don't you come up front? You still have to ask the state! Come on, come on!"

Father Meng came forward from behind.Seeing the person in front of Li Quming, he knew it was Zhizhou, so he went forward and saluted.

Ji Yuzhong hurriedly returned the gift.He secretly scolded Li Quming in his heart for being ignorant.Knowing that today is to welcome Meng Du's body, of course Meng A's father is a nobleman, how can he be behind?

Quietly waiting for the music to stop, Ji Yuzhong said: "This is the father of Meng Hujia? I have long admired, I have admired for a long time!"

Adie Meng cupped his hands like Zhizhou, but didn't know what to say.He had no choice but to turn his head and look at Li Lizheng beside him.

Where has Li Quming seen such a battle?I had no choice but to wave my hands secretly.

Ji Yuzheng said, "Why don't you see Meng Hujun's mother?"

Li Quming hurriedly said: "She is a woman, why should she come at a time like this?"

Ji Yuzheng said: "She is the mother of heroes, why don't you come? Send someone to invite Meng Mu to come! If you really don't come, let her tell you!"

Li Quming didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly sent a strong man beside him to invite Mengdu's mother.

Ji Yuzheng said to Father Meng: "Father, Meng Du has made great contributions in the front line, and the imperial court specially awarded him the honor of guarding the army. Now I am the parent of this state, and I am ordered by the imperial court to escort his coffin back to his hometown for burial. All expenses will be borne by the officials." Here. In addition, Meng Du rewarded 670 guan for killing the enemy, and returned it together. Xuanfu Situ gave [-] guan as a reward, and Honzhou rewarded [-] guan as reward, which have also been delivered."

If you don't understand anything else, Dad Meng can still understand the reward of hundreds of pens.Pointing to himself, he said, "Is this several hundred pennies for me?"

(I've been sick for the past few days, there is only one update today, sorry!)
