Chapter 64 Return

Looking at the sun setting in the west, Xu Ping asked Gao Daquan: "What is this place? Why do I look familiar?"

Gao Daquan smiled and said, "This has entered the scope of our village. What I have walked through before was the original Hermitage. The owner of the farm was in poor health and could not remember it clearly."

Xu Ping said "Oh" and got home. He thought there were so many difficulties and obstacles ahead.

He said to Shi Yannian, who was on the side of the horse: "Officials, my farm is ahead. Why not take a break here and then leave. There are great wines in the farm, so drink it with all your heart!"

Shi Yannian was a free job, and he had no official duties, and he didn't have to go to court for a humble official position. When Xu Ping said there was good wine in the village, he said, "Since you have arrived, you'll have to rest here."

When he arrived at the village, a farmer saw it and came over to lead the horses for the few people, saying, "Thank God, the little owner of the village is back! All the people on the village will be worried to death these two days!"

Xu Ping got off the horse, his steps were still a little sloppy, so he forced himself to stop and asked the shopkeeper in front of the door: "Have Lin Xiucai and Sun Qilang returned?"

The shopkeeper replied: "They also sent someone back to inquire about the little farm owner. I heard that they had not come back, so I was still looking for it outside."

When he heard the movement, Xu Chang came out of it and almost cried when he saw Xu Ping: "Dalang is back. Your trip has scared the people in the village! I heard the news that the master and the mistress were worried, especially the mistress cried a few times in the past two days!"

Zhang Sanniang treated Xu Ping as a sting. When she heard that something happened, she was looking for death and had to go out to find her. She was persuaded by everyone and just cried at home.

Xu Ping was also dissatisfied and said to Xu Chang: "Everything is in trouble. I'm in a bad state. You go and tell my father and mother, and I'll report their safety tomorrow."

Seeing Xu Ping's face turned pale and knew that he was sick, Xu Chang hurriedly said, "Dalang, let's rest in the village, I'll go to the town now!"

Xu Chang ordered the patrol customer to inform Lin Wensi and his party that Xu Ping had returned to the village, so he took Xu Ping's horse and rode to Baisha Town.

Xu Ping said to Lin Su Niang again: "The teacher hasn't come back either. Please go back to your residence with me to take a break."

Lin Suniang nodded and said nothing.

Xu Ping apologized to Shi Yannian again: "Officer Shi will sit and let Gao Daquan drink two glasses of wine with you. I'm going out for a day and a night, and I'm going in to change my clothes."

Shi Yannian was open-minded and did not care: "The little master was willing to do it."

Xu Ping asked Gao Daquan to get two of the best bottles of wine, and first drank with Shi Yannian, and took Lin Suniang back to his yard.

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw Su'er and Xiuxiu sitting in front of Xiuxiu's door, one inside and the other outside, both of them were stupid.

When they saw Xu Ping and Lin Su Niang, they cried out "wow".

Lin Su Niang asked Suer: "Why are you here?"

Su'er cried and said, "I'm here to accompany Xiuxiu!"

Xu Ping asked Xiuxiu strangely: "Why did you let Suer come and accompany her?"

Xiuxiu cried and said, "The official said you were not allowed to let me go out, but they all said that the official was gone! - I'm going to be scared to death!"

Xu Ping remembered that when he arranged the manpower, he asked Xiuxiu to go back to the room to hide. Unexpectedly, the little girl admitted her truth and had not left the room yet.

Sighing, Xu Ping said to Xiuxiu: "It's okay, I'm back."

Xiuxiu came out of the room and saw Xu Ping’s face wrong. She wiped her tears and asked, “Are the official sick?”

Xu Ping nodded: "I've suffered a little cold. If you're fine, go and cook a bowl of ginger soup for me to drink."

Xiuxiu quickly agreed.

Su'er stood up and said, "I'll go with Xiuxiu!"

Watching the two little girls walking towards the kitchen, Lin Suniang said to Xu Ping: "Dalang can't hold on anymore, go back to the room and rest. I just need to tell them to do other things."

Xu Ping shook his head: "I really can't stand firm, my wife is worried."

Lin Suniang helped Xu Ping back to the room, asked him to lie down on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

As soon as he lay on the bed, Xu Ping felt as if his whole body had fallen apart, and he could no longer hold back, and he was confused with his body shrinking.

Not long after, Xiuxiu brought a large bowl of ginger soup, and Su'er held a spoon behind her.

Xu Ping took the ginger soup, raised his head and drank it.

Lin Suniang was startled: "Be careful that Dalang is hot, drink it again and again!"

At this time, Xu Ping's feeling was already numb, and he could not feel hot! Drink a large bowl of ginger soup, hand it out, and then fall asleep.

Seeing that Xu Ping was asleep shortly after a while, Lin Su Niang said to Xiuxiu: "Dalang has been having a bad night. Take care of him carefully. When he wakes up, pour hot water to let him take a shower and change his clothes."

Xiuxiu hurriedly agreed.

Lin Suniang said to Su'er: "When we go back, I want to call you a little more."

When Xu Ping fell asleep, he had nightmares and sweated heavily on his body. Xiuxiu, who was sitting on the side, was frightened.

At some point, Xu Ping woke up from his sleep and sat up on the bed.

"Dalang, you're awake!"

Hearing the sound, Xu Ping noticed that there were several people standing by his bed. In addition to Xiuxiu, Xu Zheng and his wife and Xu Chang were also there. The sound just now was made by Zhang Sanniang.

Xu Ping sat stupidly for a while, came to his senses, and said to Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang: "It makes my father and mother worry."

Only then did Zhang Sanniang believe that Xu Ping had improved, she hugged her and cried, "My son, this time I scared Wei Niang! You have been the root of trouble since childhood, but you have never scared me like this!"

Xu Zheng coughed and said, "Mom's words are unreasonable! This time it's all thanks to Dalang, so Su Niang can come back safely! This is not a problem. My in-laws praised him outside to the sky!"

After hearing this, Zhang Sanniang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what Dalang did this time is a good thing! But no matter what, don't let your mother worry like this when doing things in the future?"

Lin Wensi has already returned and is drinking with Shi Yannian outside. It is not good for him to hear Zhang Sanniang's words. As soon as Xu Zheng reminded him, Zhang Sanniang woke up.

Xu Ping asked Zhang Sanniang: "When did you and my dad come?"

Zhang Sanniang said, "As soon as we heard Xu Chang's words, we rushed back. I couldn't eat or sleep until I saw your face!"

Mother and son are naturally in different natures, and Xu Ping comforted Zhang Sanniang a few words.

Xu Zheng said: "My son is awake. Don't bother him here. Let him take a shower and change clothes, and he will be more refreshed. I heard from Su Niang that she was soaked in the rain all night last night, so she won't feel uncomfortable!"

Only then did Zhang Sanniang let go of Ping, wiped her tears for a while, and followed everyone out of the door.

Xiuxiu had already prepared hot water, and Xu Ping took off her clothes and soaked it in the hot water, feeling comfortable in body and mind.

After this hardship, Xu Ping realized that he was so important in the hearts of many people. There were parents who regarded himself as his lifeblood, fiancées who did not forget their childhood sweethearts, close-fitting girls who regarded him as their backers, and those who appreciated and hated him.

Xu Ping finally understood that he had not traveled to this world, but that incompetent Xu Dalang borrowed the memories of his previous life. In this world, he was Xu Ping, not someone else.

After more than half a year of experience, Xu Ping also learned a lot about the Song Dynasty and knew that this was the most similar era in Chinese history to the previous life he lived in. Regardless of the customs and customs, politics and economy, although it was a thousand years away, and although the degree of development was far apart, there were some similar things in their bones.

Xu Ping is very glad to have arrived in such an era.

After taking a shower and putting on the new clothes prepared by Xiuxiu, Xu Ping felt refreshed. Although he was still a little weak, he was no longer so uncomfortable.

After leaving the room, only Zhang Sanniang and Xiuxiu were at the door and said to Xu Ping: "Dalang, your father went out to drink with Shi Guanren and asked you to go too. He is the benefactor, please have a drink with him."

Xu Ping responded and said to Zhang Sanniang: "My mother has been tired these two days, so let's take a break. I'll go there."

When he arrived in the hall, Shi Yannian was having fun with several people. When he saw Xu Ping coming out, he smiled and said, "Is the little master better? Come here to have a drink!"

At this time, in addition to the people from the Xu family and the Lin family, there were Xu Chang, Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang at the table. They all worked hard to find Xu Ping and also had a good alcohol tolerance to come to accompany Shi Yannian.

Xu Ping sat down at the table, picked up a glass of wine and said to Shi Yannian: "This time, thanks to the official. This glass of wine is not a tribute, so the official drinks this glass!"

After drinking, Shi Yannian smiled and said, "I didn't do much effort, I just followed him for a while. It's still a good person in the small manor who has a good appearance. I can't afford such good wine in your manor. I usually have to drink it this time. Don't joke with the master!"

Xu Zheng hurriedly said, "What do the officials say? The wine is brewed by their own home, so the officials just enjoy it!"

Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang both served wine and blushed and tried to persuade Shi Yannian. These wines were usually stored, but they didn't have the chance to speak, so they let go tonight.

Xu Ping was ill and didn't dare to drink too much, so he stayed there with a glass. Xu Zheng and Lin Wensi were not good at drinking, but just sat at the table, relying on three servants to accompany Shi Yannian.

Scholars all pay attention to their identity, and doing this is actually a bit impolite. Fortunately, Shi Yannian has been wasting his time at the lower class for many years and is generous. He will make friends with all kinds of people when he is right and does not pay attention to these things. He also has good wine and has equal rivals. When he drinks wine, he just wants to compete with the three of them.

After drinking for a while, I had a free time. Xu Ping asked Xu Chang: "Have the thief captured that day been sent to the county? What is the final result?"

Xu Chang said: "The magistrate asked about the crime. Because the main culprit was dead, everyone else was beaten torture. I heard that he would be sent to Zhengzhou. There was also the matter of Dalang. The magistrate asked him to reply after he came back."

Xu Ping was surprised. The decision was too hasty. The main culprit was killed in public, so why did he skip it? Moreover, the accomplice was sentenced too lightly.

He asked Xu Chang: "Why is this happening? I won't ask about Ke Wulang's death? Zhengzhou is adjacent to Kaifeng Prefecture, so it's too light to get there!"

Shi Yannian sighed: "I will tell you about the government affairs. According to what you said, the five people who were nearby imperial guards that day should be nearby imperial guards. Those who can instruct the imperial guards must be powerful families. The magistrate did not want to cause trouble, so he pretended to be confused. As for the exile of Zhengzhou, it was not a light sentence. At the beginning of the year, the imperial court had an order, and the prisoners of Kaifeng Prefecture were sent to Jiagushan, Xingyang County to collect quarry services. When they went there, most of them would not come back."
