After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 4 Secret Conversation in the Carriage (Revised)
Xie Wenzai was startled, hesitated, and then answered the child's question: "To that person, I am just a nobody, and it is not worth the trouble to trouble me. But he has always been narrow-minded, and he will definitely not do it if he meets me in person. Make me feel better. Maybe you think that people may not remember what happened 30 years ago, but your grandfather...and I don't dare to gamble."

Haitang blinked: "If that's the case, why can't we hide if we can't afford the gamble? We know that the man is in Suzhou City and he's guarding the city gate, why don't we leave? What's the use of waiting here? ? We can still line up now, but when everyone enters the city, don’t we still have to meet the enemy? "

Xie Wenzai smiled bitterly: "Yes, if we had known this, we should have changed our route and gone elsewhere..." Although all immigrants from Guazhou should register and change their household registration in Suzhou City, Haixi Ya's many years of experience in the border army If you have connections, you can still achieve this by changing your route elsewhere.Ganzhou City may be too far away, but the guards at Shahe Fort and Hongshan Fort not far from Suzhou City are all their old acquaintances.Even if these two fortresses are not as big as Suzhou City, it is not a problem to borrow a few rooms to stay for two days. There will also be military medical officers stationed there who can treat children.After the two children recovered from their illness, they went directly to Ganzhou to register. What else were they afraid of Sun Yonglu?

But they just kept waiting outside Suzhou City with the hope of luck, but they were unable to wait until Sun Yonglu gave up first.If they had immediately changed their route and gone elsewhere when the two children first started to burn, they would have finished everything by now, and there would be no need to be trapped outside Suzhou City, helpless.

But it's too late to say anything now.Xiao Shitou still has a high fever, and Suzhou City is just around the corner, so it is impossible for them to divert to other places.

After listening to Xie Wenzai's explanation, Haitang said: "Since we can't leave now, let that person leave the city gate. Didn't our family live in Suzhou City for several years and know many people? Isn't there a person? Are you willing to help us and let that man go away for a while? As long as we can complete the registration and enter the city. Will he recognize my cousin, can his men do the same? Doesn't he have to chase after everyone if he doesn't see it with his own eyes? Just come and take a look?"

Xie Wenzai pondered: "This method... is not impossible, but it requires the cooperation of people in the city, and that person has to risk offending Sun Yonglu..." After all, he is the clan brother of the imperial concubine and the clan nephew of the elder. If it is good, Offended, there are so many generals in the border army, so they won't just sit back and watch his nonsense until now.

Xie Wenzai thought about it and felt that if Cousin Hai was really worried, it would not be impossible for him to write a letter and ask General Zhou, the commander of the Suzhou Guard, to come forward.It's just that Cousin Hai insisted on leaving Suzhou despite General Zhou's request to stay. Now if he goes back to ask for help, he may face difficulties.But there is no need for Cousin Hai to speak up about this kind of thing. It is only right that he, the client, comes forward.Based on the achievements he has made for the border army in more than 20 years, General Wednesday should not refuse. At worst, he can serve as the military counselor of the Zhou family for a few more years.

Thinking this way, Xie Wenzai became much calmer.In fact, he was not afraid of Sun Yonglu, but he was worried that he would injure his cousin's family.As long as General Zhou can keep the others, Xie Wenzai will accept no matter what the conditions are.

Xie Wenzai said softly to Haitang: "My cousin will find a way to solve this matter, so you don't need to worry about it. Lie down quickly, and my cousin will give you a few injections. It won't hurt."

When Haitang lay down, she was still thinking of a way for him: "There are actually many ways to get people away. It doesn't matter if the person quarreled with someone and came late, someone invited him to dinner, or his people are in trouble. , anyway, as long as there is an excuse for him to leave for a while, it is enough. When we enter the city, we will quickly change our household registration and then leave the city immediately. Even if he finds out afterwards, can he still go out of his way to catch up? "

Xie Wenzai smiled and said nothing, focusing only on acupuncture.His acupuncture skills were better than those of prescribing medicine. He found the acupoints accurately, the intensity was appropriate, and his technique was also good. Haitang didn't suffer much.Haitang originally wanted to continue discussing with him how to get into the city, but unexpectedly, after being stabbed a few times by him, her eyelids felt heavy and she fell asleep without realizing it.

By the time she woke up, it was already evening.

Xie Wenzai, who got into the car again to check her pulse, brought her good news: "We can enter the city tomorrow morning, so you don't have to worry about this anymore."

Haitang quickly grabbed his sleeve: "What's going on? That General Sun won't stop anyone?"

Xie Wenzai was in a relaxed mood. He was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected decisiveness of his friends in the city, so he was quite patient when facing Haitang: "General Sun had a quarrel with other generals and was going to garrison at Jiayuguan City not far away. This test The errand of immigrants entering the city will be handed over to others.”

So why not go into town today?It also saves you from long nights and many dreams.

Xie Wenzai said: "The generals have made arrangements. It is safest to go to the city tomorrow morning. Your second uncle has asked people to get medicine in the city and come back. Jin Guo is still suffering. When Xiao Shitou drinks the medicine, his fever is gone. , you can go to the city and go home tomorrow.”

go home?Didn’t they go to the city and register their household registration and then leave?Although in Haitang's memory, the Hai family does have their own house in Suzhou City, but if they stay in the city, aren't they afraid that Sun Yonglu will come to visit them?At that time, there will really be no place to hide.

However, Xie Wenzai didn't explain much.He is willing to talk so much to a child like Haitang, and he is already a very open-minded and patient elder.The voice of his friend Cao Gengyun came from outside the carriage: "Lao Xie, come quickly. Liu Keren went out of the city to see Brother Hai. He wants to explain to us the arrangements for entering the city tomorrow."

Xie Wenzai responded after hearing the words and got out of the car.

Haitang stood up and raised the corner of the car curtain. He could still hear the conversation between him and Cao Gengyun: "Is Liu Keren just here? Are you not afraid of being seen?"

"I heard that Sun Yonglu just left the city and went to Guancheng." Cao Gengyun said, "If he doesn't leave, Liu Keren may not dare to come to us. He can't stay long and will return to the city before it gets dark. Let's leave quickly. .”

The two of them rushed to the carriage in Haixi Cliff.

Haitang was a little curious, what was the origin of this "Liu Keren"?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw her brother Hai Jiao walking over with a lantern.

Hai Jiao is only eleven or twelve years old this year, but he is strong and strong, with broad shoulders and long legs, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but there is still baby fat on his face, making him look childish.He got in the car and first raised the lantern to shine at Haitang with concern: "I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you, little sister? Grandma is always afraid that I am over sick and won't let me come to see you. But she is now Guarding the little stone, I came secretly."

Haitang smiled and said: "I'm fine, thank you brother for thinking about me."

"It's fine." Hai Jiao spread his arms and legs and leaned against the car wall, "I've been helping keep an eye on the sheep and horses these past few days. I have to be on guard against others stealing all day long. I'm really exhausted."

Haitang blinked: "With so many people watching, there are still people coming to steal?"

"Do you think everyone traveling with us is a good person?" Hai Jiao curled his lips, "Why else would everyone be in a hurry to go to the city?" He yawned, "You can sleep a little longer, and I'll take a rest too. Call me again during dinner."

Haitang agreed, and even made room for her brother to stretch out his legs and legs to make him more comfortable.Haijiao closed his eyes and rested his mind. After a while, a snoring sound sounded in the car.

Haitang gently pulled a sheepskin jacket and gently covered her brother to prevent him from catching a cold.

As soon as she lay back on the bed, she saw Hai Liao suddenly opening his eyes and sitting up with a frightened look on his face. There were many extremely complex expressions on his face including shock, vigilance, ferocity, despair...

The once innocent and reckless boy seemed to have disappeared.Now behind these eyes...is a soul that has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
