The hero has an unworthy disciple

"What are you doing? Take it out!"

The little maid trembled with her hands behind her back, and squeezed the steamed bun tightly, "Sister Xiangning, I..."

The big maid named Xiang Ning snatched the things from her hand, frowned, "What? You even forgot the rules in the mansion? You are only allowed to eat here, and you are not allowed to take it out."

The little maid lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's not that I want to eat, I just want to..."

"I know what you want to do, no!"

"But Sister Xiangning, we have been starving that man for three or four days. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that he will starve him out. Besides, what if the general comes back suddenly? The general ordered us to Take good care of him, if the general finds out, don't we want our heads?" The little maid raised her head and looked at a nurse next to her expectantly, "Mother Liu, what do you think?"

The nanny just ate melon seeds with Erlang's legs crossed, and didn't talk to her.

The maid named Xiang Ning threw the steamed bun into the slop bucket, "What are you afraid of? The general will not return to the mansion for ten days and a half months now. Even if he wants to come back early, there will naturally be a servant to inform us in advance. ...Ming Lai, why don't you think about it, if it wasn't for that lunatic, how could Sister Xiangyu have become a slave? And how could those servants be kicked out of the mansion? Starving him would be considered light." Everyone As soon as he heard that he was busy, he responded to her, but Ming Lai did not dare to say any more.

In the dead of night, Ming Lai lay on the couch tossing and turning and still couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't help getting up secretly, grabbed a handful of preserved fruit and two pieces of pastries, and carried a pot of tea from the previous night, and slipped into the room. that room.

The "squeak" sound of the door made Ming Lai dare not move, and waited for a while before tiptoeing in with a candle.Ming Lai saw the black figure in that corner flinch, and hurriedly gave him a "shh".

Walking one meter away from him, Ming Lai didn't dare to approach him anymore, and said anxiously: "I'm here. I'll untie it for you, don't bite me like last time, okay? Last time I was almost discovered."

Duan Ganzhuo's reply was only to widen his eyes, and shrank back in shock.Ming Lai approached him cautiously, seeing that he didn't make a big move, she quickly helped him tear off the handkerchief stuffed in his mouth.

As soon as it was pulled off, Ming Lai took a few steps back in fright, seeing that he was just shrinking back and not screaming anymore, she was relieved, and threw the handkerchief wrapped with preserved pastries over there.

Seeing that Duan Ganzhuo didn't respond, Ming Lai impatiently made a gesture of eating with his hands.Only then did Duan Ganzhuo come to his senses, dragging the iron chain and struggling to move over with his knees and chest.

Because his hands were tied back, Duan Ganzhuo lay on the ground and bit his teeth for a long time before he untied the veil, and immediately started to lick and eat hungrily.

Seeing him like this, Ming Lai couldn't help sighing softly, even though she knew he couldn't understand anything, she still couldn't help comforting her and said: "Be patient, wait... When the general comes back, they won't listen to you." Dare to starve you. Alas, you are also to blame, but if you can understand a little bit, they would not dare to bully you like this."

Ming Lai saw that the water bowl next to him had been empty for a long time, so she helped him refill the tea.

Duan Ganzhuo straightened his eyes, and before she could take her hand away, he put the rim of the bowl into his mouth, knelt on the ground and drank with his neck up, half of the water was spilled.

After finishing drinking, Duan Ganzhuo put the bowl on the ground with his mouth and looked at her with fearful eyes.Ming Lai hurriedly helped him fill it up again.After several encounters like this, Duan Ganzhuo seemed to have had enough to drink, and lay down on the ground again to concentrate on eating, his hair and cheeks were covered with crumbs.

Seeing his appearance, Ming Lai couldn't help but sighed, and said to himself: "My brother also suffers from this disease, I was secretly happy when you said you wanted to cure this disease, but I didn't expect that even you... ...But my brother is much better than you, at least he has my mother to take care of him... What about you? Do you have any family members? The general is not often in the mansion now, and he can't take care of you. It would be great if you could go home , relatives are reluctant to see you like this. Do you remember where your home is?"

Seeing that he was unmoved, Ming Lai realized how funny she was.This person is said to have come from here, and even if he had a home, it must be a hundred and eight thousand miles away. Now he is crazy and stupid, and his legs can't move, so where can he go back?

If only I could report a letter to his family... Sigh, I was just thinking about it, how is this possible?

Ming Lai helped him fill the bowl with water again, then got up and backed out.

Not long after Ming Lai lay down, he suddenly saw the lights on the porch outside the room being lit, and heard a servant shouting urgently: "Get up and tidy up, the general will return home tomorrow!" The old butler coughed hoarsely, "Get up quickly, Xiang Ning, take a few people to help that person wash up."

"Why isn't that crazy thing dead yet?! Every day he tortures a person to death!" Xiang Ning next door cursed in a high-pitched voice.

"If you want the general to hear, do you still want your life?!" The old housekeeper coughed and scolded.

Ming Lai also got up quickly, feeling a little happy in her heart, one was because she came back early and was not found; the other was because of that person, the general came back, and that person would be able to live a better life for a few days.

It took most of the night for everyone to clean up before they breathed a sigh of relief.In the early morning, Ming Lai was sent to the street to buy fresh offal.As soon as I got to the stall, I was yelled at by the vegetable vendor next to me, "Miss Minglai, what a coincidence, the two of you are inquiring about the way to the General's Mansion, so you can show me a ride, saying that you are an old friend of the General. What! Don’t dare to be negligent! As soon as I look at this face, I know that I am not an ordinary person..."

Ming Lai hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw a man and a woman. The man had a hawk-nosed, stalk-eyed, slender figure, and was shaking a white jade folding fan; a sword.

Ming Lai gave a quick salute, hesitantly said: "I don't know who you two are?"

The man put away the folding fan, nodded slightly and grinned, "Girl, you are very polite. We are old friends of the general in your house. We are here to visit him today. Please ask the girl to take us there."

The woman became even more annoyed when she heard his words, "Bah! Who is that villain's old friend?! See if I won't kill him in a while!"

Ming Lai was taken aback.

It turns out that these two people are not other people, but Chen Sisha and Yan Min.

Not long after Zhan Yuan brought Mantou back to Ruo Que Mountain, Yan Min woke up under Yan Youzong's treatment, and wanted to find Duan Ganzhuo and kill the important person with Chen Si.At first Chen Sisha wanted to fool her, but later he realized that he couldn't fool her, and he was afraid that she would really delay Duan Ganzhuo's life, so he had to tell her the truth.It is said that Duan Ganzhuo had a relationship with Yuan Ke earlier, and now although he has forgotten the past, he still loves him, and went back to the border with him to live a happy life.How could Yan Min believe it? Dao Chen Si killed and lied to her, and he had to see Duan Ganzhuo with his own eyes.Chen Sisha was really troubled by her, and he wanted her to die early, so he agreed to take her to find Duan Ganzhuo.Chen Si Sha was actually not at ease, and wanted to see how his silly senior brother was doing these days, and whether he was bullied by Zhan Yuan.The two of them sneaked out without saying hello to Yan Youzong.

Chen Sisu knew that he was sorry for this little junior sister, and made various apologies along the way.Seeing that she was angry again, he hurriedly pulled her, and coaxed: "Oh, good girl, what did we say before we came here?"

"Hmph, I didn't say anything to you. I'll take him away when I see him." After saying that, she turned her face away and ignored him.

Chen Sisha had no choice but to apologize to Ming Lai, "Girl, my sister is impatient, please take us there quickly."

Ming Lai had doubts in his heart, but he thought that if they were really old friends of the general, he couldn't bear it, so why not take them back to the mansion and let the housekeeper decide.He hurriedly agreed, bought the vegetables in a hurry and led the way.

On the way, Chen Sisha glanced at her vegetable basket and said intentionally: "Girl, why don't you buy fresh beef, but buy some offal instead?"

Ming Lai was unprepared, and hurriedly said: "A gentleman in the mansion likes to eat beef offal soup. The general always makes it himself for him to eat."

After hearing this, Chen Sisha let go of half of his heart, so it seems that Zhan Yuan really cared about his senior brother and did not treat him badly.When the little junior sister sees the affectionate look of the two of them, she will probably be able to let go of her obsession and be willing to go back with herself.

As soon as Zhan Yuan entered the mansion, the old servant who guarded the peach tree came out before the old housekeeper.

"General, you're back. Last time when you were picking peaches, sir, you pulled one off. It's ripe now, why don't you go and have a look first?" the old servant flattered.

As soon as Zhan Yuan heard this, he turned around and walked to the backyard first.

The old servant accompanied him tremblingly, "General, look, what a peach!"

Zhan Yuan looked up, and there was indeed a conspicuous peach on a half-height branch, as big as a fist, and it was already ripe off-white. some dew.

Zhan Yuan only raised his hand to touch it lightly, and the peach fell into his palm.Zhan Yuan wiped it carefully and put it in his sleeve, thinking that it must be very sweet when matured like this.Thinking of the way that man was devouring the peach, Zhan Yuan smiled unconsciously, and said to the old servant: "Go down and receive the reward." Then he said to the housekeeper: "Order, go down and prepare more clothes, dry food and silver. Tickets, and ask people to prepare a few more carriages. Hurry up, I will leave today."

"General, are you going on a long trip?"

"Yeah." The heavy cuffs made Zhan Yuan happy, "I'm going to take him out to find a famous doctor. I've already arranged the military affairs, and I've also handed over a document to the imperial court and recommended someone to act as an agent. Can."

The old butler was dumbfounded when he heard it. He has been here for all these years, but he has never heard that this disease can be cured. Could it be that he will never return because of that lunatic, not even the position of the general? up?

"General... then... when will you come back?"

Zhan Yuan didn't say a word, and he wasn't confident that he would be cured, but he had made up his mind that he would never abandon him.

Ever since Duan Ganzhuo became insane, he was a little afraid of seeing him, and couldn't bear to see him like that, let alone how he treated him like this, so he often avoided him.Zhan Yuan had been hiding in the army camp for more than ten days and finally figured it out, he was the one who caused his appearance, how could he abandon him again?It's better if he treats himself badly, so that he can repay the debt he owed before.In the past, he was the one who treated him well, so it should be his turn to treat him well.It would be great if he could be cured in the future, but if he really couldn't be cured, it wouldn't be too bad to just wander the world with him for the rest of his life.

Thinking about it, Zhan Yuan couldn't bear to miss him patiently, so he asked: "How is he recently?"

"Okay, okay." The old housekeeper hurriedly said, "I haven't been making a lot of noise recently, it's quieter, I don't hit people much, and I can eat two big bowls of rice for a meal!"

Zhan Yuan smiled slightly, "Go down and pack your things, I'll go and see him."

"Hey." The old butler had no choice but to agree.
