Chapter 96
The old man didn't say that the two brothers who came from elsewhere really didn't know that the master of the Zhang family was so powerful. It seemed that as long as he was there, the local people would have a good life. Even if he left that place, the people's lives would not be affected by the new officials.
This is really amazing. If there were such an official there, why would I and my brother run here? I almost died.
After taking a sip of the soup, my brother shook his head and said, "No, it's like I have raised many eagles, one of which is very powerful. No matter what kind of prey it is, it can easily do it. If other eagles are jealous of it because of its power and attack it, I have to protect it.
I can stop it from hunting, and let other eagles do ordinary prey, but as long as it is there, I will be at ease. Even if other eagles fail, it doesn’t matter. I want to use it at the most important moment."
"That's right. The emperor now wants to see how powerful the eagle is. When he knows how powerful it is, he will hide it and switch it to another position until the other eagles are no longer able to do it. That is when the eagle spreads its wings. The master of the Zhang family is such an eagle. The emperor is watching how much the master of the Zhang family can do."
The old man also said, and Song Jinggong suddenly felt that the old man was not an ordinary person, and he could understand it by thinking about it. Zhao Zhubo’s family was not that simple before. It was impossible for ordinary people to become Zhao Zhubo’s father-in-law, because the family was not right and the household was incorrect.
Song Jinggong was just curious about the old man. The most important thing now is to bring the two brothers to the Zhang family, finish the hot pot in a hurry, and have someone take cotton coats for them to put on. The group continued to go on the road, and the sleepy people slept in the carriage.
Waiting for the sky to get off, the people who ordered the construction to go down last night also took a quick horse to the places where the pavilions were located and started to build wooden houses next to the pavilions. In this way, if someone is on the way, there is no need to worry about people traveling at night. There are houses and people in the house are willing to help others, which is a home for those on the journey.
What's more, in addition to these pavilions, there are also patrolers who can pass by every once in a while, which makes many people like to rush to the road at night, giving a sense of mystery, and at the same time, they can also experience the coldness of winter and the warmth of the house.
The two brothers slept for more than three hours. When they woke up, they regretted even more after knowing something. It turned out that it was not only the pavilion that could be helped, but also the patrol yamen runners who would encounter from time to time when they were on the road. As long as you ask for help, the yamen runners would take care of them. Unfortunately, they were worried, but they always pretended to be fine when they were on the road.
"Brother, wait until we get stable, then go back and take all our family over. It's so good here. If we had known this, wouldn't it be enough to faint when we arrived in Huayuan County on the first day, and the patrol yamen runners would naturally take care of it."
The two brothers saw through the window of the carriage that a hiking man accidentally fell down on the shore. While lying there covering his legs and looking painful, they were thinking of asking Song Jinggong to come over and take a look, but two horses rushed over there.
I didn't see clearly how the two yamen runners made it. They put a pocket-like place between the two horses, and carried the person who seemed to have been injured on it, and rode away on horseback. One yamen ran his cloak on the man's body.
When my brother suddenly understood that he and his brother met such yamen runners many times, but every time the yamen runners showed a gentle inquiring look at them, he and his brother walked over as if they were fine, fearing that these yamen runners would deal with them.
Now the two of them knew that the yamen runners' eyes were actually asking them if they needed help. There were too many people walking, so the yamen runners could not ask one by one if they needed help, just to communicate with each other.
At this time, my brother finally spoke, "They just look with their eyes, who knows what they mean?"
Song Jinggong knew what it meant, and explained to the two people, "Their clothes have already shown their identity. Looking at them with their eyes without asking questions is actually because they are worried that some individuals will be controlled by criminals, such as some criminals pressing their swords behind the people.
As long as the people who know the matter here or the local people, if they see the yamen runners, they will ask for help with their eyes. These yamen runners are specially trained and can see many things with one look. In the process of preventing the people from being hurt, they will find ways.
This method may be to create some accidental accidents to separate the criminals from the people, such as being shocked, or calling a sharpshooter to attack the criminals and kill them with one arrow. They will never ask some people who are walking more than two people, for fear that the criminals will not be able to help but take action, that is not rescue, it is intentional murder.
You two must be not that close when you left, and they pretended to be fine. The patrol yamen runners saw that you had nothing to do, so of course they would not care about you. In fact, you can't die even if you don't have to the pavilion. If the two of them fainted from hunger and cold, the yamen runners would come over to ask.
If you two faint at the same time, you will be rescued within a quarter of an hour. But you ran to the pavilion to sleep. When the yamen runners passed by, the people guarding the pavilion felt that they could help you, so they didn't say anything to the yamen runners. This is just a lot of chance encounters. Isn't it very interesting?"
Song Jinggong was not worried about the dangers that the two brothers would be here. Even if they suddenly fell down, as long as they were not the kind of person called cardiovascular disease, they would never die. The yamen runners' patrols would take a quarter of an hour to stop. Whether they were frozen or hungry, they could be rescued within a moment. If the frostbite on their bodies was too severe, the yamen runners would not be able to wait for the person to fall down before saving them.
After hearing Song Jinggong's words, the two brothers felt a very warm feeling in their hearts for some reason. Looking at the sky outside, even if it was snowing, there was no chill. The rescue and patrol here were so reassuring.
It seems not in the wilderness, but in a big and large house, with many relatives, delicious food, stoves burning with flames, and occasionally cold wind blows in through windows or cracks in the door, and it will be fine if you drink a sip of hot soup.
It’s just like this. Even though I know I’m in the wild at this time, it’s mainly because there are too many people and pavilions here.
"When it was hot that day?" my brother asked Song Jinggong. It was not easy to let him say something.
"There are no need to worry about summer. There are still yamen runners patrolling, but the things they carry are different. If you want to die here, there are only two possibilities. One is that you have a special disease in your body, and the other is that you commit suicide with a knife. Otherwise, it would be useless if you jump into the river."
