Chapter 47 Things in the Countryside "It's me, the horse patrol!" The black figure was startled and obviously a little anxious. He saw him rushing over and growled, "Don't yell."
Ma Changfa held a simple knife in his hand and listened carefully to the voice. He felt that it was very familiar. After he calmed down a little, he took a step forward and took a closer look at the man. He couldn't help but said "Oh!" and said cheerfully: "It turns out to be Mr. Li."
?It’s so late, what’s wrong?”
The person who came was none other than Li Xiaokun, an orthopedic surgeon. He was still carrying the medicine box.
"Why, you're not welcome?" Li Xiaokun smiled jokingly, and then said loudly, "I want to see Mr. Shi! I have something important to report -"
"Shuai Ma, is that Mr. Li outside the door?" In the hall, Ke Han heard what he heard and hurriedly came out to welcome Li Xiaokun. He enthusiastically held Li Xiaokun's hand and said, "Stop being so nagging, come with me to the People's Hall to talk!"
Ke Han's handshake made Li Xiaokun extremely excited. He then gave Ma Changfa a blank look, as if blaming him for his ignorance, and then followed Ke Han to the second Qinmin Hall.
The county magistrate is very busy at the moment. He has just finished the banquet and arranged for everyone and Master Huairou to rest. Another doctor has arrived. He is really busy with everything!
Ma Changfa looked at Ke Han's back and suddenly felt an indescribable warm feeling. He thought to himself: Our master is so quick and quick in doing things. Even my master praised him! But for some reason, he is so attentive to this doctor?...
…
After thinking about it, Comrade Ma Changfa turned around to stew his best mung bean soup. He wanted to help the master sober up and relieve his fatigue! As for Mr. Li, let him have a bowl of it too.
Arriving at the People's Hall, Ke Han personally untied the medicine box from Mr. Li's back, then moved a chair for Li Xiaokun to sit down. Then he returned to his desk, sat down, and looked at it carefully.
By Li Xiaokun
Li Langzhong was almost flattered. He licked his lips and wanted to say some words of thanks, but Ke Han stopped him.
Ke Han stretched out his right hand, pressed it down, still staring at Li Xiaokun, and said softly and lovingly: "Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work. I am obviously darker than before, and I have lost a lot of weight!"
After all, Li Xiaokun couldn't stand such warm reception, so he quickly stood up and left his seat, bowed to Ke Han, and said in a trembling voice: "I came to your place in the evening. I saw that there were so many people here and it was quite noisy, so I didn't dare to stay.
,So, uh, sir, I am disturbing you so late, this..."
But Ke Han shook his head with a smile, and said very arrogantly: "No matter what, time waits for no one! With such a mess, how can we do it if we don't work hard?! Well, it's rare for you to care about this county so much, so you might as well first
Tell me about what you have seen and heard in the countryside during this period of time!"
Li Xiaokun was deeply encouraged and no longer restrained. He actually moved his chair, got closer to Ke Han, and said urgently: "Sir, originally, I shouldn't have come back in such a hurry, just because there was a big mess in Taohuawu.
…”
After hearing this, Ke Han's heart tightened
Here, the "Yuexiu Building" has just been sealed, and the case has not yet been judged. Over there, something went wrong in Taohuawu. The house leaked and it rained all night. What is going on? He asked urgently: "Say.
Say, what's wrong with the law?"
"Beep, beep, beep!" At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ke Han was angry and shouted: "Who? Come in!"
It turned out that it was Comrade Ma Changfa who came in with a plate of cut watermelon slices.
Listening to the master's tone, he seemed to be upset, so he said a little uneasily: "Master, it's getting late. Let's eat some fruit first to moisten our throat. As for the mung bean soup, I've also made it stewed."
"Oh, Chang Fa!" Ke Han's tone softened a little, and then he pointed to a chair next to him and said kindly, "No need to be busy, you can sit down and listen together. Well, it's about Taohuawu."
Ma Chang was stunned for a moment, then he put down the fruit plate obediently, walked gently to the empty chair and sat down.
"Mr. Li, let's talk." Ke Han raised his right palm and faced Li Xiaokun in a very gentlemanly manner. He also said to Li Xiaokun and Ma Changfa, "Let's analyze the situation together."
Li Xiaokun coughed lightly, and without being polite, he reached out his hand, pinched a piece of watermelon, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and then whispered slowly, "That Master He is missing!"
After hearing this, Ke Han was not nervous, but felt relaxed. He thought for a moment, and then asked briefly: "When did this happen?"
"What happened yesterday is the second priority," Li Langzhong continued. "Also, I heard that the two, oh, two 'thorn roses' he brought there are also missing."
Ke Han was confused when he heard this. What is this nonsense?
Although that master was hateful, he was really advantaged by letting him disappear so easily! Then he said nonchalantly: "Master He is such a monkey spirit, there is nothing to worry about!"
"But!" Li Xiaokun curled his lips. Seeing that he could not arouse Ke Han's interest, he paused, turned around and said, "My colleague Zhang Dahai, a young man from Taohuawu, forced the embroidery girl Liu Yuexiu to almost throw herself into the river.
Already..."
"Embroidery girl? Isn't that my Xiu'er, sir? Life without Xiu'er's care is not easy. If it weren't for so many things, I should have brought her back!" Ke Han thought of the smart and lovely Xiu'er.
, Sure enough, his heart became tense. He hadn't seen Xiu'er for so long, and something like this happened? How could he not be anxious? So, he put down the tea cup in his hand and asked, "What is the situation now? What did Zhang Dahai force Xiu'er to do?"
It doesn’t matter whether Xiu’er wants it or not…”
"Don't worry, sir! Listen to me." Seeing Ke Han being so anxious, Li Xiaokun took another slice of watermelon, "Later I heard that Xiu'er and her mother also left Taohuawu..."
"Leave?" Ke Han got angry for no reason, and Li Xiaokun also panicked. Ma Changfa also stayed aside and became anxious, blinking at Li Langzhong, signaling him to stop talking.
"At the beginning, I didn't know that Liu Xiu is your wife. I was helping people tie bandages at the road construction site that day. I heard people talking about it. Some people called her..." Li Xiaokun seemed to have difficulties.
"Go on, it doesn't matter!" Ke Han put his hand on his forehead to suppress the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart. Only at this moment did he realize that he cared about Xiu'er so much.
"Master, please don't be angry. Those people called Liu Yuexiu a shabby shoe. They said she had been fooled by the dog officials enough, but she came home to be embarrassed. They called her shameless. Some people retorted a few words, and were scolded by those people.
One pass! He even moved his hands." Li Xiaokun looked at Ke Han with a complicated expression, worried that he would go crazy.
"I should have gone to pick her up a long time ago! What a pity," Ke Han unexpectedly did not get angry, but silently blamed himself in his heart. He clenched his fists and sighed, "The relationship between the government and the people is so tense?
——Well, do you know where the mother and daughter went?"
Li Xiaokun shook his head regretfully and remained silent.
After a while, the servant A Bao brought a tray with three bowls of mung bean soup on it. He opened the door and came in. He respectfully placed the bowls one by one and then left quietly.
"How is the road repaired?" Ke Han changed the subject, shook his head and said, "Hey, it would be great if there was a phone in this place. It would be easier to contact, and so many tragic things would not happen!"
Ma Changfa and Li Langzhong were stunned. They both looked at each other, scratching their heads. For a long time, they still couldn't understand what the second part of the master's sentence meant.
"Drink soup, ah, drink soup!" Ke Han knew that he had let the slip out of his mouth. How could the old antique understand these new words? No wonder they were scratching their heads, so he personally held the soup bowl, one by one.
The bowl was handed over
How can a master serve tea and water to his servants? How could Ma Changfa and Li Xiaokun dare to sit as steady as a mountain? Both of them hurried forward in fear and gratefully accepted the soup bowl.
"Chang Fa, Xiao Kun!" Ke Han held the soup bowl and deliberately omitted the last names of the two people, so that it sounded more pleasant to the ears and acted much closer.
After all, those two men were made of flesh and blood. After hearing the heart-warming address from the master, they couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. Especially Li Langzhong, his whole body felt numb all of a sudden and he opened his mouth quietly.
stand still
Ke Han smiled silently and stared at the two of them. He suddenly had a whim.
In history, there were Liu, Guan, and Zhang who were die-hard brothers who accomplished such a big and earth-shattering undertaking. Now, why don’t the three of us also become brothers and do great things together with great vigor?
"Sir, I am determined to form a bloody alliance with the two of you. We will become brothers with different surnames. From then on, for the development of Huai County, we will go hand in hand and work together to achieve great things. How about that?" Ke Han looked at the two heroes seriously.
, asked sincerely
Ma Changfa was very happy. He thought this was normal. In fact, he had already regarded the county magistrate as his elder brother. Now that he proposed it himself, it couldn't be better!!
"Here, I," Li Xiaokun said incoherently, more excited than frightened, "how dare I reach such a high level?"
Ke Han couldn't care anymore. At this time, his ears were constantly recalling Liu Huan's soul-stirring song - "This Bow", and he couldn't help but get excited. Isn't this scene a perfect match for the occasion?
Holding the mung bean soup bowl in both hands, he was the first to kneel down towards his desk.
Ma Changfa and Li Xiaokun naturally knelt down and followed Ke Han's example, holding up the soup bowl respectfully.
Ke Han knelt upright, led the two heroes, and recited the words of the Three Peach Blossoms of Taoyuan that he had memorized: Shi Ziheng, Ma Changfa, and Li Xiaokun, although they had different surnames, became brothers and worked together to save the family.
Help those who are in need; report it to the country. We do not wish to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. We only wish to live in the same year, the same month, and live in the land of the emperor and the empress. Learn from this heart, betrayal of justice, ungratefulness, and the death of both heaven and man! . . .
Then, they reported their birthdays and ages. Ke Han was the eldest, Ma Changfa was the second, and the third eldest was Li Xiaokun.
Then, the three of them toasted each other with soup instead of wine, and drank up the mung bean soup cooled with well water in no particular order. They couldn't help but clicked their tongues at the same time, smiled knowingly, and held each other tightly with their hands.
It feels so good!
"Master!" Li Xiaokun said as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Well, change your words and call me brother." Ke Han smiled bachelorly and was in a good mood.
Ma Changfa also smiled and echoed: "Yes, call me brother! This is a private space. When it comes to the scene, you can call me master."
"Brother, um, where is our cousin going in such a hurry?" Li Xiaokun was full of doubts.
"Who? You mean, Zikui?" Ke Han asked, "Where did you see him?"
"By the Huaihe River, by the way, he asked me to borrow money. I didn't have time to agree and made him angry." Li Xiaokun asked Ke Han in confusion, "What's wrong, brother, don't you know?"
"This unsatisfactory thing! What kind of trouble might it cause again?" Ke Han said angrily.
