The Great General and His Little Scholars

Aunt Zhu went back to the house angrily, and Lamei poured herbal tea to calm Aunt Zhu.Aunt Zhu picked up the teacup and wanted to drink, but her hand trembled so much that she spilled the tea all over her body.Immediately, the blood rushed to the brain, and he said angrily: "The whole family doesn't treat me as a human being! Is the concubine's room the ghost of this family!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and threw the teacup on the ground, smashing it to pieces.

Lamei hurriedly took a handkerchief and came over to wipe the splashed tea on Aunt Zhu's body, and persuaded: "My aunt, grandma, why did you come here? You are angry here, and no one else is at all sad. On the contrary, she answered that sentence." It's good to kiss, but it's not good to not kiss."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhu couldn't help but burst out laughing "噗呵", stretched out her hand and slapped Lamei and said: "You girl, you know how to play tricks on weekdays, so don't shake this idea, it will make your relatives hate you!" Hurry up."

But after Lamei made such a fuss, Aunt Zhu calmed down.Gritting his teeth, he said, "You're right, the sadder I am, the happier they look."

After thinking for a while, Xinghe narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said: "Lamei, in your opinion, does Jiang Tong look like the general?"

Lamei thought about it and said: "In terms of good looks, all the men in our family are good-looking, but this little Jiang Tong is not like anyone. Let's just say that those big eyes are watery, and they are more beautiful than a woman." Looks good, our men's eyes are not so clear."

Aunt Zhu frowned and said: "That's right, I started to suspect that he was the illegitimate son of the lord, but after observing, I found that he didn't look like the young masters of the general's mansion, eyes, nose, mouth... our young masters, The mouth is not so small, so thick."

"Yes, Mr. Biao has such a beautiful mouth. He is small and white. His mouth is like a red crabapple fruit. He just wants to take a bite when he looks at it." Lamei seemed to be intoxicated. , but looked up to see the coldness in Aunt Zhu's eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head to clean up the broken teacup, and said in a self-deprecating way: "It seems that I'm greedy for crabapple fruit, let the boy go to the market to buy some someday."

Aunt Zhu's attention was no longer on Lamei. She looked thoughtfully at the pouring rain outside the window with a cold face.

Liao Mingsi wanted to turn over, but was awakened by the pain in his left arm.Opening his eyes, the rough stone wall greeted his eyes. Liao Mingsi was stunned for a moment before remembering that he and Jiang Tong were in danger yesterday.

He hurriedly turned his head, and saw a head with disheveled hair under his right arm, sleeping soundly.

The rain had stopped, and a ray of morning light passed through the gap on the top of the opposite mountain and shone into the crevice of the rock, just falling on Jiang Tong's face.

Even at such a close distance, Liao Mingsi still felt that Jiang Tong's skin seemed to be made of beautiful jade carvings, pink with sunshine, and covered with a white halo.

Liao Mingsi couldn't help stretching out his fingers, and stroking along Jiang Tong's eyebrows, then his upturned little nose, and sliding onto his ruddy lips that never seemed dry.

Liao Mingsi could clearly feel the plump lips with his fingers, Liao Mingsi jumped up in his heart for no reason.He frowned, not understanding why he felt so flustered when he looked at Jiang Tong.He was a little at a loss, retracted his fingers, and sat up hastily.

After seeing clearly the cliff on the opposite side and under his feet, Liao Mingsi regained his thoughts.Yesterday was too flustered and it was dark, he didn't realize what kind of predicament he and Jiang Tong were in.

But now that the weather is fine and the scenery in all directions is unobstructed, Liao Mingsi realizes that if he can't find a way to leave, or ask for help.When the sun rose, he and Jiang Tong would probably get sunburned or fainted in this exposed rock crevice.

However, Liao Mingsi had been in the general's mansion since he was a child, and he had seen dangers and dangers before.Relying on his own ability, when Liao Shan was not around, he also caused troubles and played around in the capital. He never knew what fear was.

Therefore, Liao Mingsi did not panic, but immediately calmed down and thought about countermeasures.

He looked around and saw a big bowl-like depression in the corner of the rock crevice. Last night's rainwater seeped down through the gap above and gathered in that depression.

He went to taste it, and the water was actually sweet. Thinking about it, it rains often on this mountain, and the rock crevices are often washed away, so it is not dirty.Although this water is not much, it will seep in again after drinking it. If it can't get out, it won't be a problem to keep it for two or three days.

At this time, Jiang Tong muttered, rubbed his eyes and sat up.He looked around in a daze, and suddenly his eyes were startled, as if he understood his situation.

"Don't be afraid, I'm thinking of a way." Liao Mingsi immediately comforted Jiang Tong, and pointed to the puddle, "If you're thirsty, you can drink the water. I just tasted it."

Without eating or drinking for a whole day and night, Jiang Tong was naturally extremely thirsty, so he crawled over, dipped his mouth in the water, and drank a few mouthfuls.

"Brother, this water is so sweet." Jiang Tong wiped the drops of water from his mouth with his sleeve, turned around, his complexion suddenly changed, and said, "Oh, I forgot, my brother was injured yesterday." Liao Mingsi blinked his big eyes delicately: "Does it still hurt?"

Liao Mingsi smiled: "It's not a problem, it's just dislocated. It's a pity that the bruise ointment I carried with me was lost by the fake attendant. Otherwise, it would be better to apply it quickly."

Speaking of this, he suddenly patted himself on the head and said: "Ah, look at my memory, I still have a fire sickle hidden." As he spoke, he reached into the boot shaft, touched it a few times, and found out a fire sickle the size of a finger Come.

Jiang Tong didn't know how to use this thing, so he looked at it curiously and said, "Is this for lighting a fire?"

"Yes." Liao Mingsi held one end of the fire sickle: "Open the lid, blow with your mouth, and it will catch fire."

"Really?" Jiang Tong stretched out his hand to touch the fire sickle, then quickly retracted it, as if afraid of breaking it.

Liao Mingsi couldn't help laughing and said: "Actually, you don't need to be so careful, it's not worth anything. When we're out of danger, I'll make a basket for you to play with. But now, we're just such a guy, so we have to use it wisely. "

After that, he probed out of the crack in the rock, listened carefully for a while, and then put his ear against the rock wall.

Jiang Tong looked at Liao Mingsi in bewilderment, and asked in puzzlement, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Hush..." Liao Mingsi gestured to silence, Jiang Tong hurriedly closed his mouth, shrank his hands and feet, and looked at Liao Mingsi nervously.

Liao Mingsi listened for a moment, then suddenly his eyebrows twitched, and he moved in again, leaning against the innermost rock wall to listen, and said to Jiang Tong with a smile on his face: "Father must have someone looking for us, I heard Lots of hooves."

"Really?" Jiang Tong widened his eyes and said in surprise, "The general is here to save us!"

Liao Mingsi looked at Jiang Tong with complicated eyes and said: "Since you are a father, you don't have to restrain yourself in front of me, just call him father."

Jiang Tong's face turned red suddenly, he bit his lips and said, "Actually, Lord General is not my father at all. Those are all rumors, my brother is so smart, why did he believe it."

Liao Mingsi was taken aback. Looking at Jiang Tong's appearance, he didn't seem to be lying, and couldn't help asking: "Then why did my father secretly bring you into the mansion? Why is my mother worried about me and the general's mansion?" ?”

"That's because..." Jiang Tong bit his lip and said as if he had made up his mind: "Master General saved my life, so I promised him not to tell anyone about me. But now my brother also saved my life." I can't lie to my savior."

Liao Mingsi was even more confused, and stammered, "What are you talking about? My father saved your life?"

Around Eagle's Mouth Cliff, a group of soldiers were searching around.A lieutenant ran up to Liao Shan and said, "Report to my lord, just now the soldiers found some strips of cloth hanging on a tree halfway down Yingzui Cliff, but the distance is too far to see clearly."

Liao Shan was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it? Take me to see it."

At this time, in the crevice of the rock, Liao Mingsi stared at Jiang Tong dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he said a word: "You...you are the son of Master Tong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War? But why...have I never seen you in the capital? "

Jiang Tong lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Because my mother is not my father's wife, after she was pregnant with me, she fell ill and couldn't adapt to the environment in the capital, so my father sent my mother back to her hometown to recuperate. Born in my hometown."

"Father's wife actually passed away five years ago, and he has no heirs. Originally, my mother and I were going to be brought back to the capital to formally marry. But because my mother has been in poor health, it was delayed."

"Just half a month ago, my mother suddenly packed up my things and said that she would take me to the capital to find my father. I didn't know that my father had already been wronged and imprisoned, and he would be executed soon. My mother brought me here because she wanted to see my father for the last time."

"But..." Jiang Tong held back, but still couldn't control his tears: "Halfway, we met a group of people covered with black veils. They... killed everyone, including mother."

"Before my mother died, she hid me under the cushion of the carriage, but I was still discovered by those people. I was terrified..." Jiang Tong finally couldn't help it anymore, and cried "woo woo": "I looked at my mother Her face was covered in blood, her eyes were open... I stretched out my hand to grab her hand, it was cold..."

Liao Mingsi stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Tong in his arms, and said softly: "I understand, it was my father who led someone to save you halfway... Master Tong is a good friend of his father, and his father has always committed suicide because he could not save him. responsibility."

"Yeah." Jiang Tong leaned against Liao Mingsi's arms, sniffled and said, "After saving me, General, he killed those masked men. He also told me to hide my background and change my name to Jiang Tong."

"Is your mother the Jiang family? Father doesn't want you to forget your identity, but he can hide it well."

"Yes."

Liao Mingsi hugged Jiang Tong tightly, and the look in his eyes gradually sank: "If that's the case, I'll call you a single character in the future, just 'Tong'. It sounds like calling your father's surname."

Jiang Tong raised his head, looked at Liao Mingsi with tears in his eyes, nodded, and said obediently, "Okay."

Liao Mingsi smiled, and gently wiped away Jiang Tong's tears: "Tong, don't worry, I'll take you out of here right away."
