Chapter 2 Hope
It has been a short time since Yun Duo traveled here, except for his uncle Ning Zhongshi, he has not really met anyone else in the Ning family.

According to the memory of the original owner, although the grandparents of the Ning family are only in their early fifties, they are considered old in this age when life expectancy is generally low, and their health is not very good because they worked too hard when they were young. .

When Ning Zhongping was young, he was taught by an expert to learn martial arts. If the burden on the Ning family was not heavy enough, Su Yunduo's grandparents would really be reluctant to let the youngest son eat as a bodyguard, and the days of licking blood on the knife are really worrying.

Although Su Yunduo's grandparents only had two sons and one daughter, the eldest son, Ning Zhong, and his wife were able to bear children. They had seven or eight children in seventeen or eighteen years of marriage. Although not all of them were raised, there were five children in front of them. Hua Fan is 15 years old this year, and has reached the age of marriage.

Ning Zhongping is nearly thirty years old, although he has been married for ten years, but because his wife Shen is weak and sick, he still has no heirs.

Because Shen is weak and sick, most of the money Ning Zhongping earned from darts was drunk by Shen. Therefore, even if Ning Zhongping, the chief bodyguard of Ningwei Escort, earned a lot of money, he couldn't afford to use the money. It's really a tight life, and it's still unknown how much help Ning Zhongping can bring to their dilapidated home when he returns from the darts.

Of course, with Ning Zhongping's temperament, he will definitely not turn a blind eye to them, and will definitely lend a helping hand.

Su Yunduo still felt in his heart that relying on others is worse than relying on himself, and asking for others is better than asking for himself, but he still hopes that Ning Zhongping can come back sooner, even if he can't help her with money, if he can help her open the mountain road behind the house , It is also a great thing for Su Yunduo.

It's a pity that Su Yunduo knew nothing about this little uncle's whereabouts!
What Su Yunduo didn't know was that the little uncle Ning Zhongping whom she was looking forward to had a group of people coming from the direction of the capital to Yanshan Mansion on the official road, and among them was the little uncle Ning Zhongping whom Su Yunduo missed.

Twenty or so strong men riding fast horses and five carriages. The speed is not fast. Occasionally, one or two coughs can be heard in the middle carriage. It is obvious that the people in the carriage are not in good health. No wonder the speed of the carriage is faster than that of an ox cart. Not much faster.

A boy dressed as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old servant poked his head out of the carriage and looked forward, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he turned to Ning Zhongping who was following behind the carriage and said, "Uncle Ning, the one in front should be It's just a station."

"Today we are not resting at the inn, and we will go to Yanshan Fucheng in another half an hour. Let's find a better inn to stay and rest for two days. After the young master's health is better, we will go to Xiushui County. After that, we will reach Xiushui in a day and a half. County." Ning Zhongping pulled the reins and said.

"Cough..." There was a low coughing sound from inside the carriage, and a moment later a slightly hoarse voice said: "Don't rest in Yanshan, just go straight to Xiushui County."

Ning Zhongping's face changed slightly, and the horse came parallel to the carriage: "Young Master Guixiu is not safe, the conditions of Fucheng..."

Before Ning Zhongping could finish speaking, the hoarse voice let out a sneer: "Wouldn't the conditions in the capital be better?! Why should I come out of the capital? There is an inn in front of me. Uncle Ning, let's make arrangements. I will rest at the inn today and tomorrow morning." Go straight to Xiushui County!"

Ning Zhongping wanted to persuade him, but another head poked out from the carriage. This time it was an older man. Although he was well maintained, his hair was already a little gray. He gave Ning Zhongping a look: "Young master's body is flawless. Obstacles, Ning's bodyguard will arrange according to what the young master said."

After receiving the old man's order, Ning Zhongping's eyes flashed with joy, he raised his voice to answer "Yes", and urged his horse to make arrangements.

It has been more than three months since he left home this time. To be honest, he has already returned home. If it weren't for the old man and the young master in the car, Ning Zhongping would have rushed back to Xiushui County long ago. .

Looking back at the slow-moving carriage, Ning Zhongping couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

The old man in the carriage is a well-known Xinglin master in the capital. If it weren't for this old man, Ning Zhongping would not know if he would return this time.

Speaking of which, Ning Zhongping was lucky this time. Although he was seriously injured by risking his life to save someone, it also made him hook up with the Duke of Zhen Guo, a family of military generals in the capital.

Although I can't guarantee that the Xinglin master in the car can cure Shen's weak disease, it still gave Ning Zhongping hope. As long as he thinks that in the near future, he will also have the opportunity to have his own children, his heart will be There will be bursts of heat.

Thinking of his father and mother's body and bones that had decayed early due to overwork, Ning Zhongping had more expectations in his heart, and arranged things more meticulously.

The days in late autumn are getting shorter, and with the wind and rain, the sky gets dark even earlier. Su Yunduo looks at the sky and estimates the time in his heart. It is about four o'clock in the afternoon. By the way, it should be Shenzheng time. .

Silently exchanging the modern time with the hour in her heart, Su Yunduo shook her head helplessly, she is still used to estimating the time in hours.

I raised my eyes and looked around, not to mention that the fields outside the village were deserted in such weather, even the old women and children who liked to chat and chat under the old locust trees at the entrance of the village were gone.

This old locust tree is the symbol of Geshan Village. No one can tell how many years it has been growing in Geshan Village.

Even Liu Dashi, the oldest seventh uncle in the village, only said that this old pagoda tree had been flourishing as long as he could remember.

Except for the family surnamed Liu who has rooted in Geshan Village for several generations, the other families in this village are all immigrants who have fled famine from various places and settled here in the past 30 years.

The Su family is no exception.

28 years ago, the northern part of Dongling Country was hit by a snowstorm that had not happened in a century, and then there was a tartar that caused the flames of war. For a time, the northern part of Dongling Country was filled with mourning. It was at that time that Su Yunduo's great-grandpa and grandma brought the whole family to Geshan Village. It is said that Su Yunduo's father, Su Chengzhi, was still a baby in his infancy at that time.

The old locust tree looks unattractive, but it has saved countless lives in Geshan Village. In those famine years, the flowers, leaves, and even the gray-brown scale-like old skin of the old locust tree became the villagers' stomachs. food.

This old locust tree is at the east end of Geshan Village. After walking through the old locust tree for about ten feet, there are three dilapidated thatched houses at the end of the muddy path, which are Su Yunduo's home.

A child's cry could be faintly heard from the village. Su Yunduo wiped the rainwater from his face with his hand. After listening carefully, his beautiful eyebrows tightened. The cry came from the three broken thatched huts.

The child's cries seemed to be mixed with the woman's wailing, Su Yunduo couldn't help being startled, and his pace accelerated two minutes.

Seeing that he could get home by walking through the muddy road through the old locust tree, but suddenly a shadow appeared from behind the old locust tree, and Su Yunduo slipped and fell to the side in shock.
