Chapter 76 You can’t miss the gods!
Outside the hospital, you can see a desolate scene.
I don’t know whether it’s the cold air in the early morning hours of winter, or the inner feeling brought about by the unobstructed view. Some withered grass in the bare ground reflects the frost that has not yet cleared away.
With the chains on your wrists, you can only stretch your arms slightly to loosen your shoulders and elbows. Excessive range is inconvenient.
Xie Yuchuan looked down, his eyes light.
In the past, he would have to do a set of kung fu to warm up when he got up early. But now that the situation was different, he didn't think much about it. He only opened his body and practiced static kung fu similar to standing postures.
The mountains and forests are quiet and surrounded by fresh air, which is suitable for breathing to raise the clear and reduce the turbid.
As far as the eye can see, there is the smoke from every household in Gaojia Village in the distance.
There is movement in the silence, and he sees a steady stream of vitality in the calm and tranquility.
At the age of fifteen, Xie Yuchuan went to the frontier with his father and brother for training. At the age of seventeen, he began to lead troops to fight in person. He broke through the encirclement in the first battle and gained some fame in the army. Since then, he has spent most of his life living in the barracks on the northwest frontier. The wealth and luxury of a famous son in Kyoto have left him like a bygone past.
I haven't experienced such a peaceful state of mind for a long time.
All this, if the family god had not appeared in the prison that day, he didn’t know what he would be like now.
In the distance, a figure moves.
Xie Yuchuan narrowed his eyes and saw the figure swaying for a while, then turned and ran towards the village.
Somehow, he remembered what Zhang Dayi said when he entered Gaojiacun that there was something special about the village.
Coincidentally, the intuitions of Xie Yuchuan and Xiong Jiushan were secretly reminding them that something was wrong.
Gaoshanhejia.
Dongzi came early in the morning to deliver rice soup and dry steamed buns to Gaoshanhe.
Gao Shanhe got up early and was chopping firewood in the courtyard. Someone was cooking in the kitchen. Dongzi came over with rice and soup, only to find that there was someone else in Gao Shanhe's house today.
“Ah, third uncle, aunt! Oops, I forgot you stayed here yesterday.”
"Brother Dongzi is here, let's have some together later?" Gao Shusheng's wife wiped her hands and came out. She saw what Dongzi was holding and took it first.
"Your mother asked you to bring it?"
"Ah, isn't this just next door."
Dongzi smiled, it was a bit strange today, and he gave me something Turn around and help Gao Shanhe chop wood.
Gao Shanhe saw him coming and asked: "What's the situation over there in the eastern suburbs?"
Dongzi glanced into the room, shook his head and said: "I don't know, the third uncle yesterday They said they won’t let us juniors join in the fun. There are people watching over there.”
Gao Shanhe nodded, said nothing, and raised the ax to continue chopping firewood. Gao Shusheng, who was catching up on his sleep, also woke up. He came out with his clothes on and yawned. He passed by his wife who was adding firewood and water in front of the stove.
"Shanhe got up so early to chop firewood?"
Sister-in-law Gao smiled and said, "He said he couldn't sleep."
Gao Lizheng tutted, "This kid. "After that, he opened the door curtain and went outside.
"Third uncle!" Gao Shanhe.
“Third Uncle!!” Dongzi.
Gao Li was nodding towards the two of them, lifting up his arm gloves and buttoning his sleeves. He saw that without much effort, a small pile of firewood had been piled next to the Gaoshan River. He couldn't help but cursed: "You haven't slept all night?" "
Dongzi turned to look at Gao Shanhe, and saw the latter hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"You child, there are big things in the village, and the clan elders and adults are still taking care of them. Why are you so worried?" Gao Li was saying this, but he was a little happy in his heart. After Gao Shanhe's parents died, he grew up eating the food of hundreds of families in the village. He has a good character and good health when he is older. The younger generation Gao Lizheng is quite optimistic about him. If there is a disaster in the village, he will worry about it more than anyone else. .
"After breakfast, you come with me and have a look over there."
Gao Shanhe nodded, the other side that the third uncle mentioned is the prisoner their side.
"There is one more thing. As a result of everyone's discussion last night, after you and I finish our work, go to the mountains..." Gao Shuangsheng was talking about today's arrangements with Gao Shanhe when he was called from afar. Sound interrupted.
"Upright!"
The person who came was none other than Erhan's father. He had just finished talking to the villagers early in the morning and hurriedly came over to report the news to Gao Shusheng.
"What's wrong?"
Erhan dad Gao Shangen walked around the low wall and pushed the door in. He nodded and said hello to Gao Shanhe, and ran directly in front of Gao Li.
"Many people on the prisoners' side have gotten up, and several official officials who are staying overnight have also left. Other villagers came early in the morning to inquire about today's arrangements."
Gao Li was frowning. : "Why are the arrangements not made by everyone yesterday? Wait for the village bell to ring before going over."
"But when I came, I passed by the government officials who were going back to have breakfast. It looked like it was early in the morning. We are about to leave." Gao Shangen heard the thoughts of the clan elders in the ancestral hall last night, "What will we do if they leave early?"
Gao Shanhe also looked at Gao with his ax in hand. Shanhe, with a solemn expression on his face: "Uncle, we can't let them leave for the time being."
"Of course we can't let them leave so early. We haven't established a line with the Xie family among the prisoners over there, and besides, we can't let them leave today." I have to go into the mountain and see if it works." Gao Shanhe turned and shouted inside: "I don't want to eat! Go home and check!"
Sister-in-law Gao came out, "Then I'll go back with you. ? If the adults wake up, leave some delicious food for them."
"No, there will be people waiting over there."
"Uncle, then I'll come with you." Gao Shanhe put down his ax and followed.
The three of them returned to Li Zheng's home together.
Xiong Jiushan got up early and was stretching his muscles in the courtyard. The others were still half awake. Some were too tired, and some were greedy and had too much wine yesterday.
It was still dark when he saw Gao Li bringing two people over, and he was quite surprised.
Recalling what his colleagues had mentioned to him last night, when he saw that there seemed to be something hidden in the faces of the three people, he could not help but narrow his eyes slightly and became alert.
Excessive enthusiasm is indeed not in vain.
With a smile on his face, Gao Lizheng came up to greet them: "Did Mr. Xiong sleep comfortably last night?"
Xiong Jiushan didn't know the purpose of their visit, so he just nodded lightly.
The other party didn't answer, and Gao Lizheng's heart sank slightly. The topic seemed to be stuck at this moment, and he clearly felt that the adult in front of him was not easy to get in touch with.
Gao Shusheng also knew in his heart that Gaojiacun was indeed a little "concerned" when receiving officials and prisoners like them, which could easily lead to suspicion, but things had come to this, and they didn't want to miss the opportunity.
Seeing that there seemed to be hesitation in his expression, Xiong Jiushan sheathed his sword and stood up straight.
"Gao Lizheng has something on his mind?"
Gao Shusheng did not say directly, but asked tentatively first, "When do you plan to set off, adults? Is there a road in front of the village?" It’s so easy to go. If you need it, I’ll call a boy to lead the way.”
Actually, Gao Lizheng wanted to know when their team would leave, and whether they could get in touch with each other before departure.
Xiong Jiushan frowned and relaxed.
"Let's set off at the beginning of the twelfth hour at the latest." After thinking for a while, he remembered the bartering and selling of goods by the villagers mentioned before, and added: "Yesterday, I had to go to the trouble of making up for the journey. It’s been a lot of hard work.”
