Ji Yuan said that he was going to break his promise, but he didn’t look annoyed at all.
The general couldn’t help but stand up from his position, walked up to Liao Zhengbao, and patted him heavily on the shoulder, and the latter nodded towards the general.
Ji Yuan weighed the small wooden sword in his hand, thought for a moment and then said to Liao Zhengbao.
“The wooden sword is a token given to us by your parents. You should also leave some tokens for us so that your parents know that you are really alive.”
“Yes, yes, it should be!”
Liao Zhengbao carefully folded the peace talisman in his hand twice and stuffed it into his arms. Then he rubbed his hands and thought about what token to give to his parents, but he couldn’t think of anything suitable for a long time.
“I don’t have anything suitable here…”
Liao Zhengbao looked at the general for help, but the latter couldn’t think of anything. Everything was lacking here, and there were no specialties. He couldn’t bring a broken weapon to his family.
“Well, you write a letter to your family. Although oral messages are fine, they are not as good as letters. You can read them all the time to relieve your worries. You can also keep this wooden sword.”
Ji Yuan suggested and returned the wooden sword to Liao Zhengbao again. The latter scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly after accepting the wooden sword.
“Although I can easily recognize some words, I can’t write well. Why don’t I ask my husband to write for me?”
In the past, letters sent home were written by people with some literary skills in the army, such as the Beimen Military Marquis. This time, Ji Yuan and Chang Yizai were able to do two things at once.
“Okay, I’ll help you write it.”
Ji Yuan naturally agreed happily upon hearing this.
On the drawing table in the conference hall, a soldier found paper and pen, and Ji Yuan wrote on Liao Zhengbao’s behalf.
After learning that he had not received any letters from his family all these years, Liao Zhengbao simply talked about his general experience in these years, from the confusion when he first joined the army, to the fear later, to the numbness later, and finally transformed into A strong sense of responsibility.
Even though Ji Yuan’s handwriting is very small this time, a letter home still fills five pages. Every stroke on the page makes others feel like they are appreciating art.
Every time he finished writing a page and put it aside, the ink dried quickly with a gentle blow. After Ji Yuan finished writing, he turned his wrist and replaced it with Jun Zhong’s original pen. The wolf hair of time is collected into the sleeve, and it is often easy to see this clearly.
“Okay, let’s see if there’s anything missing.”
Ji Yuan stepped away from the table, and Liao Zhengbao and the generals and soldiers beside him hurriedly came closer to take a closer look. They saw the handwriting on the five pages of paper was neat and orderly, and they felt a sense of relief when they saw it.
The general couldn’t help but tell Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.
“I finally understand why the two gentlemen, who are not bureaucratic, were able to obtain official documents and were escorted by carriages and horses to this dangerous place on the border. They even dared to boast that they could help Liao Sima return home. , just based on this word, these two gentlemen must be extremely knowledgeable people, and there will be many people among the officials and scholars who are fawning over you.”
Chang Yi shook his head and smiled.
“The general is a person who knows things, but Chang does not dare to compete with Mr. Ji. Although my handwriting is relatively good compared to ordinary people, it is far behind when compared with Mr. Ji.”
Liao Zhengbao grabbed the paper with joy on his face and carefully read the text on it. He didn’t know much about literacy, just to be able to see basic military terminology clearly, but on these pages, his reading was surprisingly good. It’s smooth and you can read every word.
“Good, well written, so good!”
Liao Zhengbao then picked up a pen and wrote his name. Although he tried to be neat and neat, it was still a bit crooked. It was even worse when compared with Ji Yuan’s handwriting, but it made the letter surprisingly authentic.
A long letter from home and eighteen taels of silver saved were all that Liao Zhengbao wanted Ji Yuan and Chang Yi to take back. He knew that this kind of opportunity would probably never come again, so I borrowed some money from the general.
When Ji Yuan and Chang Yi returned, the general and Liao Zhengbao both sent them to the north gate, and sent a group of soldiers and a carriage to **** them on the road, at least to the border of the area under their jurisdiction.
When the carriage carrying Ji Yuan and Chang Yi disappeared outside the North City Gate, Liao Zhengbao felt a little disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure and returned to his usual strong self.
At this moment, the North Gate military commander was writing documents in his barracks. He had written down and sorted out the soldiers and inspections he had been responsible for in the past few days. When he wrote that when the two of them came to visit today, he could not think of the officer. The specific name on the document was the name of the official who approved the document, so I dragged the wooden box next to it, opened it, and looked for the official document, intending to write it down accordingly.
After searching over and over again, I couldn’t find the official document.
“It’s strange, I put it here obviously, why can’t I find it… Huh? What’s going on?”
The Beimen Military Marquis suddenly pulled out a piece of white paper from a pile of official documents. He took it out and turned it over and over, confirming that there was not a single word on it. In addition, he couldn’t find Ji Yuan’s document after turning over it. This gave the military commander a slightly absurd idea.
When I told the general and Liao Zhengbao about this, they were both shocked. They took the high-quality rice paper that was obviously not owned by the army and looked at it over and over for a long time…
“General, do you want to bring these two gentlemen back?”
The general and Liao Zhengbao both looked at him when the North Gate Military Marquis asked this question. The former shook his head.
“The Liao family must have found strange people and strangers to help, so don’t make people feel bad by doing anything unnecessary.”
……
As soon as Ji Yuan and Chang Yi left the jurisdiction of the border fortress, they naturally took off and flew towards the northwest. They had told Liao Zhengbao that they would soon send family letters and silver coins to the Liao family, but it is estimated that Liao Zhengbao and some people knew this. The sergeant who did it could not imagine how fast it would be.
On this day, before it got dark, a yamen officer on horseback arrived at Maotan Village. This was the person Ji Yuan and Chang Yi were looking for specially, and they transformed into a “status” person and ordered him to deliver the message. .
The sound of horse hooves rushed all the way to the entrance of the village, then slowed down and asked about the location of the Liao family in the village. Finally, Lao Zhang, who was wandering in the village, took him to the Liao Daqiu family.
Lao Zhang led the way, while the servant led the horse and followed behind.
“Master, it’s right in front, it’s right in front.”
“Lead the way, lead the way.”
“Yes yes yes!”
Lao Zhang quickly approached Lao Liao’s house and shouted first at the top of his lungs.
“Old Liao, Old Liao! There is a letter from your family, saying that it was sent by Xiaobao from the army, Old Liao…”
“What?”
Liao Daqiu rushed out of the house in a panic and looked at the servant holding the horse over there. The latter asked Lao Zhang to help hold the reins, took two steps forward and slightly cupped his hands to Lao Liao.
“This must be Liao Shanren. A letter has arrived from your son Liao Zhengbao, as well as a package of accompanying items. They are all here. I have never opened them!”
The officer said that he took out a tightly tied cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Liao Daqiu. The latter took it carefully and then opened it eagerly, but suddenly stopped and hurriedly called the officer into the fence yard. .
“Master, please come in and have tea!”
The officer quickly waved his hand.
“No, no, I still have official duties, so I won’t bother you. This plague is too serious, many people have died, and I’m busy… It’s strange that not a single person in your village is sick. It seems that God will still take care of you if you do good deeds.”
“Yes, yes, I don’t dare to disturb Master Cha. Master Cha, walk slowly, walk slowly!”
The officer waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to send him off any more. He got on his horse and planned to leave. However, before leaving, he thought of something and quickly turned back to Liao Daqiu.
“By the way, Liao Shanren, my name is Du Kun, and I am a government official in Dahe County.”
Old Liao was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted, and after hesitation he gritted his teeth and said.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Cha. Next time I go to the county, I will definitely pay you a visit with my heart in mind. I…”
“No, no, no, no… no, that’s not what I meant…”
The officer was a bit dumbfounded.
“I mean, Liao Shanren, just don’t forget me. I don’t want to collect benefits or money from you. I don’t dare to take it if you give it to me…”
After saying this, the servant did not stay any longer, and just rode his horse slowly out of the village, then whipped the horse and left.
As soon as the guard left, Lao Zhang immediately shouted.
“Old Liao, why are you still standing there, reading the letter!”
“Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, but I can’t read either…”
“Oh, my child’s father, you have so much to worry about, wait until you see it!”
“Yeah, let’s talk about it after reading it!”
A few people sat down in the yard and quickly opened the bags and took out the contents. One of the small bags was heavy. Mother Liao opened it and saw that there were many silver ingots and broken silver.
“Hey… so much money…”
“Read the letter, read the letter!”
Liao Daqiu carefully opened the envelope, not wanting to tear it up, and then took out five pieces of letter paper.
The amazing thing is that he can actually “read” this letter. He obviously doesn’t know Douda’s words, but he can really understand what is written in the letter and return it to Liao’s mother and Lao Zhang next to him. And my youngest son also came out to read and listen to it.
“My father and mother asked Mr. Ji to write for my unfilial son Liao Zhengbao: My son has been in the army for nine years and has traveled thousands of miles. There has been no news in these nine years. My son feels very guilty… He has not yet repaid the kindness of raising him in this life. My son is now Seeing the wooden sword, tears welled up…”
More than a quarter of an hour has passed since I finished reading the five pages. The faces of the Liao family were already full of tears, and even Lao Zhang’s eyes were red.
That is to say, Xiao Liao was still young and had never met this brother before, so he didn’t have much impression. Instead, he leaned on his mother’s lap and asked innocently.
“Brother said that he was far away, and it would take several months to find a letter from Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. This letter was written by Mr. Ji, but didn’t Mr. Ji and Mr. Chang just leave in the morning? ?”
The three adults were all stunned.
“Yes, the two older gentlemen have just left not long ago! Could it be that they have written the letter a long time ago, so they came to the village to find you today?”
Lao Zhang was surprised, and then thought of some reasonable possibilities. Originally, the Liao family wanted to nod, but Xiao Liao, who looked innocent, spoke again.
“No, no, the wooden sword mentioned in my brother’s letter was also given to Mr. Ji by my father this morning!”
At this time, the adults in the courtyard just looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
It took a long time before Old Liao murmured.
“This is like meeting a god…”
