Chapter 24 You have a scar on your left buttock
In the evening, Fengchucang Pier.
The Qinhuai River, reflecting the prosperity of Jiangning, flows slowly from the west side of the pier, and the golden afterglow pours down, spreading a layer of gold powder on the river surface.
After a busy day at the dock, the boatmen stepped off the ship in twos and threes and invited them to a familiar restaurant next door to eat a bowl of hot oily rice. They also collected dozens of pennies and sold it for two taels.
Everyone took turns to take a sip of the rice wine to relieve their fatigue. It was very enjoyable.
If you are lucky, you can hear the music coming from the tiles in the adjacent street.
People who are struggling to make a living naturally cannot understand the quality of the music, but they can hear the high-pitched or melodious singing voice of the little lady Quyuan. They can close their eyes and imagine a delicate little lady standing in front of them. What a feeling it would be like.
It's enough to make them excited.
The sun was setting in the west, the sky was getting dark, and the Fengchucang Pier was silent.
On a cargo ship moored at the northernmost point, the ship's boss led people to empty the cargo hold and put some hay and fur mattresses on it to serve as a temporary place for people to rest and stay.
The boss of the boat wanted to get close to the handsome young man, but Zha Hui blocked him without any courtesy.
"Even if my Alang buys this ship today, after tonight, you and your brothers can go as far as you want. If you don't want something to happen, don't go back to Jiangning in the short term.
We have agreed in advance that if we are caught by the government for what we are going to do tonight, we may lose our heads. There is plenty of money, so it depends on whether you dare to earn it!"
Outside the cargo hold, Zha Hui held his hands and raised his nostrils to the sky, looking as arrogant as a thieves in the forest.
The captain's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, please report back to the officials. As long as I don't lack the brothers' rewards afterwards, even if I am asked to sail into the Xi'anmen Palace, I will do it!~"
Zha Hui clasped his fists and said with admiration: "Brother, you are so courageous! But don't worry, breaking into the palace is something only fools would do if they don't want to live long! We must not only get things done, but also let everyone's heads grow on their necks.
, if your life is gone, why do you need money?"
The captain of the ship was just too hot-headed to speak harshly. He would not even dare to break into the palace even if he had a hundred courages.
"Hehe~ Brother looks like a smart person at first glance. No wonder he can serve that wealthy little official! He only has two pieces of silver in hand. This is the first time I have seen him in this life~"
The captain of the ship complimented with envy.
"That's right!" Zha Hui said proudly, "What's the background of my little official? Not to mention two pieces of silver, even two pieces of gold! As I said again, brother, listen to me and do your job well, no
If you should inquire, stop asking. At dawn tomorrow morning, receive the reward and take your brothers off the boat and out of the city, wherever you want to go!"
Zha Hui secretly pointed to Pan Mei, who was not far away and was patrolling and inspecting the ship with two sergeants of the fifth capital, and said in a low voice: "Have you seen that person? That is the number one killer among the officials in my family. He is very skilled in martial arts and can kill people."
Blink, you're being mean! Tell your boatmen to be more honest, but don't touch your brows!"
The boat boss looked at it from a distance, and Pan Mei felt something in his heart. He turned around and looked up. He had a red face and a long beard, his eyes were like lightning, and he was as majestic as Guan Gong. He was immediately frightened and his legs trembled.
"I understand! I understand!" The captain of the ship wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I just don't know where the officials are going to go later?" the captain asked in a low voice.
Zha Hui glanced at him sideways and said displeasedly: "Just now you said you shouldn't ask around, and then you forgot about it? Tell your brothers to go down and wait for orders. My husband will have his own orders later."
The boss of the ship didn't dare to say anything, he cupped his fists and said, "Yes, yes~ I'll step back right now~"
The boss of the ship took several boatmen down to the bottom of the cabin.
Zha Hui looked around the dock and got into the cargo hold.
In the spacious but musty and dusty cargo hold, Zhu Xiu and the Zhu family sat around on hay and leather mattresses.
Hu Guangyue went to buy some cooking cakes, steamed buns, and soy sauce meat. Everyone had a meal together to fill their stomachs first.
Zhu Xiu gave a general account of his experience starting from Cangzhou.
The experience of studying in Tanzhou that sounded quite bizarre was revealed to him again.
He told so many lies that sometimes even Zhu Xiu himself felt that the so-called Tanzhou hermit Mr. Siyou really existed, and that he indeed studied under Mr. Siyou.
But what he never expected was that the paragraph he had made up on the spur of the moment to explain why he appeared in the Khitan army back then, and that he was still pretending to be a Khitan disciple, would actually be the same as that of the Zhu family who had been missing for many years.
The misfortune of the younger son is 70% to 80% consistent!
Could it be that this is the will of God?
Or is the original owner of this body really Wu Youdi's youngest son?
Otherwise, how can we explain that even the names and experiences are the same?
Is there really an identical version of myself on the other side of multiple time and space?
Zhu Xiu was confused and couldn't understand what caused this.
Such a chaotic and outrageous thing can only be explained by God's will.
Wu Youdi was already in tears. When Zhu Xiu announced her name, her heart trembled violently.
"Who else could you be...You are the youngest son of my Zhu family...the flesh that fell from my old woman's body!"
Wu Youdi sobbed incessantly, covering her face with her skinny and chapped hands, and turbid tears burst out.
The cries that she tried to suppress contained extremely heavy pain.
Zhu Xiu scratched his head and grinned, not knowing what to say.
Yang Qiaolian held two babies in her arms and looked at him with surprise and suspicion.
When she married into the Zhu family, her brother-in-law was still young and studied in the county all year round, so she only saw him only a few times throughout the year.
I just remember that he was a gentle and elegant young man, but he was completely different from his eldest brother Zhu Wu, who was tall and rough.
Later, Zhu Wu and his mother-in-law took their brother-in-law to visit relatives in the north. They encountered the Khitan people who invaded from the south. The mother-in-law and her mother escaped, but unfortunately, the brother-in-law was kidnapped by the Khitan people.
When my mother-in-law came back, she cried so much that she couldn't even get sick.
Later, when the Khitans fought all the way to Huainan, Zhu Wu saw that he could no longer stay in his hometown, so he took his wife, children and mother and followed the refugee army across the river and fled to Jiangning.
Yang Qiaolian had very little impression of her brother-in-law. She carefully looked at Zhu Xiu in front of her, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that his temperament was somewhat similar.
Zhu Wu's eyes were red and he stared straight at Zhu Xiu.
Suddenly, without saying a word, he rushed forward with a ferocious expression and directly pushed Zhu Xiu down.
"Stop! What are you going to do?" Zhu Xiu was shocked and angry.
Zhu Wu first held his head and lay next to his right ear to look carefully, and then started to tear his clothes roughly.
Hu Guangyue was so frightened that he tried to stop him, but Pan Mei reached out to stop him and shook her head at him.
Zhu Wu tore Zhu Xiu's robe at her waist, exposing her waist and half of her white buttocks. Zhu Xiu was ashamed and annoyed, struggling and screaming.
Zhu Wu's eyes widened and he came closer to take a closer look. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. He was stunned and cried loudly.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, it would be hard for Zhu Xiu to believe that a rough man could cry so heartbreakingly.
"He's really my brother! He's really my brother, Brother Xiu! Mom~ He's really Brother Xiu! You can't be wrong! He's my brother!"
Zhu Wu cried so sadly that his nose burst into tears and he cried and laughed at the same time, wailing in a very miserable voice.
Zhu Xiu got up in a panic, her torn robe hung section by section on her back, and her hakama was also torn with a big hole.
Zhu Wu pointed at his butt and cried: "You have a black mole on your right earlobe and a scar on your left buttocks. I took you to fish in the river that year and you slipped and fell and broke it. It's unmistakable!"
Woohoo~ Brother~ I’m sorry for you, brother~ Woohoo~”
Zhu Wu stammered and almost burst into tears.
Wu Youdi rushed over fiercely, hugged Zhu Xiu with all her strength, and cried loudly.
Zhu Wu also got up and hugged him, and the couple hugged Zhu Xiu between them, crying bitterly.
Zhu Xiu stood blankly, at a loss what to do, and a little confused.
There was an inexplicable desire to cry in my heart, but my eyes were only red and I couldn't cry.
Yang Qiaolian burst into tears and covered her mouth while crying and laughing.
Zhu Liang wiped away his tears hard and grinned happily.
Little uncle, really his little uncle!
The eldest daughter, Zhu Fang, curled up in her mother's arms, biting her fingers, looking at this and that, her mouth tightened and she began to cry loudly.
Chapter completed!
