Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1146 Brothers Reunion

The woman hurriedly beckoned Huan Chong to enter the room, and hurriedly lit the oil lamp, so that there was a little light in the room.

The layout of this room is not big, Huan Chong sat in what was barely the main room, looked around, and found that the room was as plain as ever, except for the hemp blanket and a bamboo bed on which he was sitting, there was only one under the window for a bed. Lai Poma Shunsi's rocking car is barely a decoration.There was still a ball of lint spread on the rocking cart. It was obvious that the woman was working in the darkness just now, and she was reluctant to light a lamp, and she dared not open the window to catch the moonlight.

Seeing this, Huan Chong's nose felt sore again, and he covered his face with his sleeve, and finally calmed down a little.

After a while, the helping villagers piled up the goods in the court, and then left.Then the woman went in and out again, busy boiling water and making tea. When Huan Chong saw this, he raised his hand and said, "Kui Niang, you don't need to be busy any more. I'll be leaving after sitting down for a while. It's too late when I come home. It's inevitable that my mother will be worried." .”

After hearing the words, Kui Niang was full of guilt again, and walked into the room repeatedly expressing her opinion that Huan Chong really didn't need to be like this.

Huan Chong looked at the haggard-looking woman, feeling equally guilty in his heart.This Kui Niang was a concubine of his elder brother Huan Wen. There were a lot of troubles in the family earlier, and the family members were separated, but this Kui Niang stayed.Thanks to Kui Niang's care along the way, the old mother was able to arrive in Luoyang.

But after Luoyang settled down, there was no room for this woman in the house, especially the old mother and second brother vented most of their resentment towards the elder brother on this woman, and they quickly drove her out of the house.

Huan Chong still remembered that when he came out to persuade her, his old mother's tone was not lacking in harshness: "The prostitute's life is low, and it hurts my family. She has her own skin and flesh to feed on, and she won't starve to death outside..."

Huan Chong didn't dare to disobey his mother's order, but he really couldn't bear the woman to live in a foreign land.And in his heart, he also faintly felt that he and this Kui Niang were probably the only ones in the family who still couldn't forget his elder brother.

Huan Chong also told the woman to live with peace of mind and not to be too harsh on herself in terms of food, but when she saw some food he had sent before was piled up in the corner, she knew that the instructions were useless, so she couldn't help sighing: "Fang Zhongfeng Si talked to me about the past again, but I can't answer for you, Kui Niang. I know you... people always look at the present, and I really don't know whether that person is alive or dead. But if you, Kui Niang, You have to be obsessed with keeping the chastity for him, you don't have to worry about Feng Si, he doesn't dare to use force. When I become self-reliant in the future, I will take you home to take care of me, and you will be my elder sister-in-law from now on."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that, slave, slave, how dare you have such extravagant hopes..."

After hearing this, Kui Niang's body trembled, and then burst into tears like rain: "Slave is such a lowly person, and I don't need others to tell me. Now that I'm alive, how can I keep my chastity... But, But the master rescued me as an adult, how can I fall from myself... I have nothing to ask for anymore, if I hear from the master someday, I beg him to tell you a little bit, and I will die without regret..."

"You never owed him, on the contrary, he owed you much... Well, if you can feel at ease like this, then it's up to you."

After finishing speaking, Huan Chong stood up and prepared to leave.Seeing this, the woman asked Huan Chong to wait a moment in a hurry, turned around and took out a bamboo box from under the bamboo bed, and stuffed it into Huan Chong's arms: "I don't have any rewards for slaves, and I'm afraid that I will use the dirty court to be innocent. Please, sir, don't be disgusted."

Huan Chong took the bamboo box and looked at it, his face changed suddenly. He saw that there were neatly stacked copper coins in the box, and the weight was estimated to be several thousand.He knew that after the woman was expelled, she only made a living by spinning hemp, and her daily diet was extremely frugal. It would be considered the best if she could get more than ten dollars a day. After being driven out of the house, it was stored little by little.

"What are you doing, Kui Niang? How can I..."

Huan Chong raised his eyebrows angrily, but in the middle of speaking, Kui Niang already knelt down with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave has been a vassal of the master since he came, and he also knows that the master has made mistakes and cannot maintain his filial piety. This is the only way to make up for it, even if it’s only a small amount, but it’s sincere. If you don’t accept it, you will cut off the slave’s way of life..."

"You, you stupid woman also know people blindly, even if there is suffering, it is purely self-inflicted!"

Huan Chong said bitterly, using this stern attitude to conceal the huge guilt that could not be dispelled in his heart, he put the bamboo box back into his arms, and then said angrily: "I will accept all these goods, you don't have to say What begging for death. But you have to remember that you are a runaway slave from my family, since you escaped, you must live well, and if you die suddenly, even if there are only bones left, I will send you to the lonely soul beside the road!"

Speaking of this, his eyes were also slightly red, he bent down to help the woman, and said bitterly in his mouth: "Stupid woman, what a stupid woman!"

The woman didn't care about the scolding, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a harsh voice: "Just please don't complain about the lord, the lord was hesitant in his early years, whether he should serve under the command of General Shen, because at that time Ding stayed in the capital without a head... If, if he was able to go north in the past, it may not be a disaster later..."

"His sly words are just to deceive you, an ignorant woman. If he really cares about the family so much, why do he have to change his original intention and use my family's virtuous voice to make a big progress for one person!"

When Huan Chong heard this, he said bitterly again: "He's doing it for himself, you're asking for it! You two, ha, don't care what other people think, just enjoy yourself."

While speaking, he stepped out of the door, and then saw the woman walking out with a long wooden stick in her hand, and he couldn't help but annoyed: "You two are so overconfident. , I walk the night market in my body, and I have my own protection. Even if I am in danger, how much can you protect me with your little strength, close the door and guard yourself, and I will visit you again in the next day."

Seeing the woman turned back and closed the door and window, Huan Chong turned and left. On the way, he saw the supervisor Feng Si, and stepped forward and said, "I will not hide Feng Jun anymore. Kui Niang was originally my brother's concubine. It's just because my mother doesn't like it, my elder sister-in-law is jealous, and my elder brother Rong has been away for a long time, so he has no choice but to settle outside. Since it was Feng Jun's request, I really dare not accept it privately, but this time of caring will definitely be there when my elder brother returns home. Thanks a lot."

After hearing the words, Feng Si was slightly taken aback, and then hurriedly expressed his stance, and waited until Huan Chong left before sneering: "What military affairs are out there, it's just the remnants of criminals."

Even so, his thoughts were indeed lightened.

Huan Chong held the bamboo box full of copper coins in his arms, bowed his head and walked quickly all the way, and soon returned to his house. He saw that the light was still on in the old mother's room. There was a bit of confusion on his face again, and he finally returned to his room directly.

Huan Chong walked all the way, but he didn't notice that there was always a hunched figure following in the shadow behind him all the way. This figure kept watching Huan Chong as he entered the house, and saw no one in the streets and alleys on the left and right, then hurried to the front of the court, facing He knocked on the courtyard door deeply, with sobs in his mouth, knocked more than ten times, then got up, bowed his waist, covered his mouth and nose and ran away.

This figure is of course Huan Wen. Jiangdong liquidated earlier. Although he was spared the death penalty, he was sentenced to prison and slavery.It was not that General Shen took special care of him, most of the guards involved in the incident handled it this way.Most of these rebellious soldiers were strong, so they were left alive to be used as coolies.

For more than two years, Huan Wen has been building a road leading to Shouchun in Jiangbei.It wasn't until the middle of this year that Chi Dao was repaired that their group of laborers were requisitioned to Heluo for labor.

Before Daotu saw Huan Chong, Huan Wen was also quite surprised. After he entered the army, he didn't know much about his family, and he didn't know that he had moved to Luoyang.Most of these servants who were former guards came from well-registered families, and they didn't dare to run away and hurt their family members, so the camp was not very strict.

What's more, after working together for several years, Huan Wen's personality is not lacking in heroism, and he also has some good friends who have suffered from a stroke.

In fact, Huan Wen didn't have to be so careful. His appearance and body were completely different from those of a few years ago. He was disheveled and haggard. Even if they stood opposite each other, their family members might not be able to recognize him.

He chose a remote path all the way out of the city, and the soldiers who patrolled the camp at night were also slack, so Huan Wen took the opportunity to climb over the fence and hurried into his camp.A few people were awakened from their sleep. Seeing Huan Wen's return, they all curiously asked Huan Da how his trip was.

Huan Wen thanked these people deeply, but he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard Huan Chong talking to the lady at the door of Mrs. Akui, so he covered his face and cried bitterly.

"Huan Da, you don't need to be sad. We have worked hard for many years. Even if there are any crimes, we are still paying for them. I heard the camp owner mention earlier that after the camp in Luoyang, he planned to release a group of criminals. You I have been able to work hard in the past, and it is very likely that I will be included in the list of exemptions, and I will be able to gather with my family often..."

Hearing Huan Wen's cry, the rest of the hard laborers in the tent couldn't help feeling sad, and one of them spoke to comfort him.

After a period of time, Huan Wen's group of laborers were used around Luoyang again. Although he was concerned about his family, especially the helpless and stupid lady Akui, Huan Wen did not dare to let his fellow accountants take more risks for him.

However, one day a transfer order actually transferred a group of their soldiers to work in the city, and it happened to be in the district where Mrs. Akui lived.If a person's fate is poor, there is great joy in the slightest improvement in the situation. Huan Wen has only felt deeply until now. Perhaps even if they succeeded in rebelling back then, the joy they got may not be as great as this time.

Living together in the same square, Huan Wen desperately wanted to see the lady again, but the lady had been reclusive and almost never showed up.Thinking of the change from closeness to estrangement to this lady back then, Huan Wen felt the pain in his heart, now he himself is not free, and even more powerless to improve the situation of this infatuated lady.

But fortunately the camp was shortened, Huan Wen saved most of the meals in the camp every day, and sneaked out and placed them in the lady's court late at night.The servant was exhausted, and Huan Wen couldn't eat two meals a day, so the suffering would inevitably be even greater, but only in this way could he feel that he and the lady shared the joys and sorrows, and he could feel at peace instead.

That night, Huan Wen quietly left the camp again, with meals wrapped in linen in his arms, and under cover of the night, he hurried into the court, but before he could even stop, a few strong soldiers rushed out from both sides of the court Throw him to the ground.

Huan Wen was terrified in his heart, but he was unable to struggle, his bun hair was grabbed, and his face was pressed tightly in the dust.

Soon, the fire was brightly lit in the dark house, and then there were a few footsteps and a calm voice: "Kui Niang, come and check carefully, is this villain harassing you frequently? If so, Kill it directly, I will find the general to explain it to myself!"

When Huan Wen heard this vaguely familiar but strange voice, the begging sound that was about to growl suddenly got stuck in his throat, his teeth clenched on the messy hair thrown into his mouth, and he actively buried his face in the dust.

A lighter footstep sounded, and the side of Huan Wen's face felt the scorching heat of the torch approaching. At this moment, he was already trembling with nervousness, but his hands, feet, neck, and neck were tightly clamped, and he couldn't move at all.

"You, you... lord, lord! This is lord..."

Soon, Kui Niang's excited voice sounded in his ears, and then Huan Wen felt a thin body behind him.

The person standing in the court was Huan Huo. He had just returned to the capital from the front line of Tongguan, and his armor hadn't even been removed. Hearing Kuiniang's shout, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. After a moment of silence, his mouth became dry. intonation: "Hold your head up!"

Huan Wen was mentioned by the soldiers, and then the messy hair covering his face was also lifted up, and then he saw Huan Huo standing in front of him, full of heroism, and the corners of his mouth trembled unconsciously: "San, Sanlang ..."

Hearing this voice, Huan Huo suddenly grasped the saber at his waist with his fingers, his eyes widened even more, and after a while, he let out a cold voice from between his teeth: "Brother, it's been a long time!"

　I want to write this short paragraph so much that I want to write it even if I lose a little bit of rationality. . .Everyone, don't complain about how the military camp is so lax in defense, and try to be reasonable in everything. How can there be so many joys and sorrows in the world. . .
