Ding Hao left Chengfu and went to the big car shop opened by the Ye family car shop in Xicheng, and when he asked Fang Fang, he knew that the Ding family's convoy was in an abandoned military camp three miles west of here.
Ding Hao cheered up and continued to hurry, as soon as he arrived at the camp and entered the dilapidated gate, he saw a lantern inserted in the well, and a person was carrying water up with a wheel, just looking at the figure, he knew that it was Xue Liang.
Ding Hao exclaimed with joy: "Piggy" Xue Liang heard the familiar voice, looked up, and saw a figure walking on the snow at night, and when he got closer, it was not Ding Hao.
Xue Liang was shocked, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the bucket of water fell back into the well with a "porphyr".
Xue Liang ran to Ding Hao, grabbed his arm and said nervously: "You idiot, what kind of trouble did you cause outside, it's too bad now, the owner of the family came to the door, I heard that the woman is the niece of General Guangyuan, with a team of guards with swords and swords, murderous and not afraid of people, if you are caught by her, how can there be good fruit to eat, while no one finds out, you can quickly escape back to Bazhou." ” He reached into his arms, groped for a long time, grabbed a handful of copper coins and said: "These are all rewarded by the eldest lady on the road, there are only so many here, you can take them." ” The lantern inserted on the stake on the side swayed gently in the wind, and the face of Xue Liang, who was standing sideways, was also half hidden and half visible, and that honest face was full of sincere concern and worry.
Ding Hao's heart was warm, he held Xue Liang's cold big hand, slowly pushed it back, and said softly: "Brother, you keep this money, don't spend it indiscriminately, save it up and marry a good lady, brother is fine, you don't have to worry." ” "It's really okay" "It's really okay" Xue Liang saw that his expression was relaxed, so he picked up the money, rubbed his nose and said, "It's okay, when that girl comes during the day, it's really more terrible than the official messenger catching people."
By the way, didn't you recuperate in Puji Temple, why did you come here and get better, how did you offend that eldest lady?"
Ding Hao smiled: "These things are a long story, let's talk about them slowly when we go back."
Come, let's get the water up first. ” The two carried a bucket of water, returned to Xue Liang's residence, and saw some people who had not rested along the way, and were surprised and happy to see Ding Hao, and couldn't help but come forward to say a few words, ask about the condition, ask him why he offended Miss Tang, which has its own concern, after this journey, Ding Hao has established his prestige in the hearts of these villagers.
Ding Hao's heart was very warm, the smile on his face also bloomed, and went forward, under the eaves of a house, the willow steward was groaning and walking, Ding Hao just finished greeting a people, turned his head and saw him, he couldn't help but smile, he raised his hand and was just about to say hello, when he saw the willow steward "squeak" flashed behind the pillar under the corridor, Ding Hao's smile suddenly stiffened.
He didn't stop at his feet, and after walking in front of the house with Xue Liang carrying a bucket of water, a hint of understanding came to his heart: Miss Tang came to him today, Tang Yanyan is the niece of Cheng Shixiong, the general of Guangyuan.
Guangyuan is still under the influence of the feudal town, what is the feudal town is that even the independent judicial power of these warlords have it, in Guangyuan, he Ding Hao was beaten to death by Miss Tang, and people may not be able to eat people's lives in lawsuits, Liu Guan This is a "gentleman" who does not stand under the dangerous wall.
Thinking that the two got along quite well along the way, Ding Hao couldn't help but feel sour, the world was cold, the people's hearts were cold and warm, a gust of wind came, Ding Hao subconsciously shrunk his neck, what he felt at this time was not the coldness of the wind, but the sadness of human nature.
When I returned to Xue Liang's residence, I saw that Feng Dazhang Whip was also here, wearing a sheepskin jacket, sitting next to the stove and roasting steamed buns, he was also overjoyed to see him arrive, and asked a few words at random about the situation, and learned that he had not eaten for most of the day, Feng Dazhang Whip quickly took a large sea bowl, poured a bowl of boiling water, tore a few pieces of dried meat and soaked it in, and handed him two fragrant steamed buns, and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say about eating belly, haha, I said Xiaoding, I only knew in the past two days that you couldn't stand my snoring and just said it, It's not you who can't wipe your face and suffer, you don't have to worry, you don't have to sleep on the kang with you tonight, hahaha" The three of them laughed, two steamed buns, and a bowl of dried meat soaked in water were swallowed by Ding Hao.
He was really hungry this day, knowing that the steamed bun would swell when he entered the stomach, and he was very full, but he couldn't help but pick up the third one, and at this moment, someone shouted loudly: "Ding Guanshi, Ding Guanshi, are you here?"
With the voice, a man pushed the door and walked in, and was overjoyed when he saw Ding Hao: "Steward Ding, you have really arrived, are you feeling better?"
Ding Hao recognized this person, he was also a family member in the Ding Mansion compound, named Wu Wei, he used to be called dumb with everyone, Ding Yuluo relied on him very much along the way, everyone called him Ding Steward, Wu Wei also changed his name to call him Ding Steward, he was a very responsible Zhuang man, he hurriedly stood up and smiled: "I just arrived, and my body is much better." ” "That's good, that's good."
Wu Wei saw that Feng Dazhang was also there, and he bowed to him, called "Old Man Feng" as a courtesy, and then said to Ding Hao: "The eldest lady heard that you are back, she is very happy, and she asked the little one to call Ding to talk to him." ” Ding Yuluo can't come, Ding Hao is also going, he thought that it was getting late, and the news of his return may not be publicized, he also planned to rest for one night first, and then go to see Ding Yuluo tomorrow morning, since Ding Yuluo sent someone to call him, he put down the steamed bun, and said to Feng Dazhang and Xue Liang: "I'll go to see the eldest lady." ” A light is like a bean, Ding Yu fell under the lamp and lingered for a long time, between his eyebrows, with a faint melancholy.
At this moment, Wu Wei called at the door: "Miss, Steward Ding has arrived." ” "Oh" Ding Yuluo raised his eyebrows lightly, and said quickly: "Quickly invite Steward Ding to come in." ” Ding Hao lifted the curtain and entered the room.
This is an abandoned barracks, all the buildings are a model, as soon as you enter the door, you will be paved with kang, and the two rooms on the left and right are still paved with kang, but this house is because Miss Ding lives, so as soon as you enter the door, this room is a place for council guests.
There is a kang table on the kang, there is an oil lamp and a cup of tea on the kang table, and Ding Yuluo stands in front of the lamp.
"Ding Hao has seen the eldest lady."
Ding Hao entered the door and bowed.
"Sit, don't be polite."
Ding Yuluo waved his hand, turned around and sat down at the end of the kang table, supported the side of the case, looked at him like a bird, and said, "The illness has been cured."
Ding Hao sat next to the kang and said with a smile: "Miss Lao is worried, I just caught the cold, I recuperated in the temple for a day, and soaked in a hot spring to sweat, and now I have recovered." ” "Hmm" Ding Yuluo bowed slightly: "That's good."
Let me ask you, you have offended Miss Tang."
Ding Hao was stunned, remembering Liu Shiyi's reaction just now, the warmth in his heart was swept away, he took a closer look at Ding Yuluo's nervous expression, and a chill surged in his heart: "It's okay that the eldest lady is also going to avoid the plague god, I am planning to return to Bazhou after this incident, and leave with my mother."
Ding Tingxun regarded my mother and son as a thorn in his side, thinking that he didn't care about releasing a house slave.
What I have done along the way is also benevolent and righteous to your Ding family, so let's break up and go our separate ways. ” Ding Hao's voice hardened, and he said coldly: "Yes, the villain has indeed offended Miss Tang." ” Ding Yuluo said anxiously: "Where to start with this, you are recuperating in the temple in a good manner, how did you meet her How to grudge with her I asked her, she didn't say, you look like this, people are foggy, how can you know what it is" Ding Hao said coldly: "The eldest lady doesn't need to ask again, this matter has no need to be resolved." ” Ding Yu stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "You" Catching up with Ding Hao's cold gaze, she softened again, and paused: "What the hell is going on, you have to at least let me understand." ” Ding Hao took a deep breath and said proudly: "I was recuperating in the temple, and I saw a person who was sneaky, so I followed him with curiosity, I didn't want that person to be a thief, and sneaked into the back temple to make money."
I followed from behind, but I stumbled upon a bathroom, and I was confused and stopped to peep at one of the temple's protectors, Tan Yue, bathing. ” Ding Yuluo's apricot eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "The woman who is bathing is Miss Tang."
"Exactly" Ding Yuluo said with a hint of luck: "You didn't see anything, did you?"
Ding Hao was surprised to see her, and a burst of happiness swelled in his heart.
Ever since he knew that Ding Tingxun was mean and unkind, hypocritical and unjust, Ding Hao had never thought of having anything to do with him.
He did his best along the way, not only to enrich his experience, but also to improve his situation in the Ding family.
To improve his situation in the Ding family, the ultimate goal is to fly out of the Ding family's compound forever when the wings are more right, get out of the cage one day, and let me fly in the sky.
Now it seems that the original steady plan is about to be advanced, and what forced him to make this decision was the only Miss Ding in the Ding family who cared for him a little, which made him particularly sad.
There was a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "I saw it, not only the waist, back, and thighs, but even her ass." ” "You, you, alas", Ding Yuluo's face was even more bitter, she walked around the room twice in a hurry, and muttered: "It turned out to be for such a thing, since this is the case, it is really irresolvable, how is this good, how is this good?"
She stopped suddenly, glared at Ding Hao fiercely, and then took out two ingots of silver from her sleeve, put them in Ding Hao's hand, and said angrily: "It's also your fault, why are you so ignorant of inspection, girls are also casually watching, it's too late to say anything now, although our grain has arrived, depending on the situation, General Guangyuan will not give up because of our delay."
Although there is no worry about his life now, there is no hope in this business of selling military rations alone, and with the matter of Miss Tang, I think we will have to go back in the next three or two days.
You take these two ingots of silver, leave early tomorrow morning, temporarily go to the village outside the city to find a place to live, and when we return, you are far away, then Miss Tang can't find you, and her anger will gradually disappear, and she can still chase her to Bazhou without reluctance."
"What" Ding Hao grabbed the two silver ingots, and was stunned for a moment, how could the development of the situation be completely contrary to his expectations Ding Hao was walking on the way back to his residence in a daze, and in a trance, he didn't notice that Steward Liu was coming from the other side of the road, Liu Shiyi secretly glanced at him, and sped up his pace to Ding Yuluo's residence.
Ding Hao lowered his head and stepped on the snow step by step, and the subtle "creaking" sound was particularly clear in the quiet moonlight, like a pebble thrown into the water, causing ripples in his heart.
The hands in his sleeves gently touched the smooth surface of the silver, like a heart filtered in gentle water, he suddenly stopped, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight was like frost, shining on his face with a cold feeling.
Ding Hao was in a clear sense, and suddenly as if he had decided something, he exhaled lightly, resolutely turned around, and strode towards Ding Yuluo's residence:
