Chapter 355 Returning to Hometown
The child's big black grape-like eyes flashed a few times, but in the end he could not resist the delicious temptation of the broth and stretched out his uninjured arm.
"How and where did you get here? And were you bitten?"
The child took a sip of the broth, opened his mouth, and then said, "There are wolves in the woods ahead. You'd better not go there. I came here on a horse, and my horse was torn apart by them. I also
He was bitten and then rolled into that deep pit..."
"Well, many animals have hibernated now. These wolves may have gone to the woods to try their luck because they couldn't find food." Su Hang sat beside his bed, feeling that this child was dishonest.
So he added, "Then how can your parents bear to let you come out alone in this winter?"
Upon hearing this, the child's face turned pale, and he immediately took a few sips of soup, apparently trying to avoid the question.
Helpless, Su Hang had to change the question again, "Then where is your home? I will take you home."
The child licked his mouth after drinking the soup, "I want to go to the capital..."
This kid is really smart. He picks out what he wants to say. The kid asked again, "Brother, are you from the capital? I think you look very rich."
"Why are you going to the capital? It's very dangerous for you to go alone." Su Hang felt that his patience was about to run out.
"I want to see Prime Minister Su. I want to see who he is. Although I know that the whole country thinks he is a good person, I still feel uneasy if I don't take a look!"
Su Hang: "..."
What are you worried about?
"Then why do you want to see him? Do you have anything to do with him?"
"I..." The child's words suddenly turned around again, "I just want to take a look."
Su Hang was speechless. The child refused to tell the truth, so Su Hang had to stand up. Fear flashed in the child's eyes. After all, he didn't know whether the person in front of him was a good person or a bad person. The child lay back and pretended to be in pain.
appearance.
Su Hang took Ren Er out, and Ren Er said indifferently, "Master Xiang, I think he is just an ordinary rich kid. There should be nothing wrong with him. You'd better not take it to heart!"
"Well, please tell me not to let anyone call me Prime Minister again, and you are not allowed to. You must hide my identity well in front of this child."
"I see."
Su Hang glanced at Ren Er with satisfaction, then went back to his tent to rest.
After all, we have to leave early tomorrow!
This night may be because the soldiers were well-equipped, the weapons were advanced, and the bonfire was not extinguished all night long, so the whole night was peaceful, and even the children slept better.
When Su Hang came out with his family, the soldiers were cooking food using the bonfire last night.
When Ren Er was delivering food to the child, the child heard the sound of the tent being pulled up outside and asked curiously, "Brother, where are you going? Are you from the capital?"
"We are going back to the master's hometown. You should hurry up and eat. Don't ask so many questions. You can also go with us until you are willing to tell where your home is."
"But I still have to go to the capital!"
Ren Er couldn't tolerate him and couldn't help but taunted, "You still want to go to the capital with your small arms? I'm afraid you won't be alive before we reach the entrance of the capital!"
After saying that, he didn't give the child a chance to speak, and hurried away. Guessing that the child was about to finish eating, he brought someone over, carried the child out, and put the child in the carriage behind, where he stayed with a pile of debris.
"If you hadn't met our master, you would have gone to meet your ancestors a long time ago. Be more honest along the way. Our master is easy to talk to, but I am not!" Ren Er did not forget to warn the child.
The soldiers skillfully dealt with the traces of tents and campfires, and the team began to move forward in an orderly manner, with the wheels rolling and the carriage slowly moving.
Because it had snowed heavily all night, the snow on the road was relatively thick. In order to prevent the horses' hooves from slipping, cloth was tied to each horse's hoof.
In this way, we rested at night and traveled during the day, and finally made it back to Luling County two days before the winter solstice.
The magistrate of Luling County was a classmate of Brother Qiu, and he passed the examination later than Brother Qiu. When he heard that Prime Minister Su was back, he immediately led all the people from the Yamen to wait at the gate of the county town.
However, their name has now been changed to Changping Luling County, and they already belong to the fiefdom of Prime Minister Su.
As soon as he saw the majestic musketeers coming with shouts, the Luling County Magistrate quickly came down from the city and stood there with a happy face.
Before Su Hang got off the sedan, he opened the curtains and gave Ren Er a look. Ren Er understood, and headed towards the Luling County Magistrate with his horse's belly in his arms. The Luling County Magistrate immediately bowed his head. Ren Er was in Luling.
Magistrate Ling whispered something in his ear.
I just heard the Luling County Magistrate say yes again and again.
When Su Hang's carriage team approached the city gate, the Luling County Magistrate immediately shouted loudly, "I have seen Su... a high official!"
"Forgive me. Tell these people that they don't have to come out to greet me. I just want to go home as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, the official knows. I will make arrangements immediately!" the Luling County Magistrate replied hurriedly. After all, Suhang is the emperor here, how dare he neglect it!
Su Hang lowered the sedan curtain, and Ren Er told the team to move on and head towards Sujia Village.
How could the Luling County Magistrate not follow him? Not only did he want to follow him, he also notified many rich and noble people to follow Suhang to Sujia Village.
When Su Hang's support arrived at the entrance of Sujia Village, Su Hang saw a large stone tablet at the entrance of the village, which read: The birthplace of Su Xiang, Su Hang.
Sangzi is my hometown!
Suhang couldn't help but smile and looked at Sujia Village. In his memory, Sujia Village was relatively small, only about fifty or sixty households, right?
But now, Sujiacun is no longer that small village. The villagers have already made a fortune by growing peppers. Now Sujiacun is the largest village within a hundred miles!
Moreover, every household has been built with a two-story building built with blue bricks, and the roads in the alleys are all bluestones. There are two children building snowmen under the century-old honey locust tree at the entrance of the village.
Villagers wandering from a distance discovered this support and hurriedly ran to find Mr. Su Qi with their hands folded.
The little emperor was also looking at Suhang's hometown. This was his first time in the countryside. He was full of curiosity and looked at the village with bright eyes.
It's winter now, it's afternoon, and there's not much farm work in the fields. The villagers are putting their cats away for the winter, and not many people come out.
But not far away, the little emperor also heard the sound of reading aloud, including the voices of boys and girls.
