Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 989

To the northeast of the county town, on the official road leading to the state capital, a big bull-like guy was pulling a cart slowly forward.

Four bowl-sized hooves stepped on the old bluestone slabs, making a slightly dull sound of "hang, hang, hang", but it seemed to add a sense of color to the monotonous itinerary.

Many children who were born in merchants grew up listening to the babble, babble, and in the babble, became a young man, became middle-aged, became old, and finally left this world.

A chubby little girl of seven or eight years old climbed onto the camel's back from the cart, and skillfully hung a basket on the camel's head.

The basket contained hay so that the camels could chew as they went.

For it, this is actually not a meal but a snack, but before eating the snack, it raised its head and licked the little girl's hand affectionately with its big tongue. The little girl laughed timidly, and then patted the camel beast with her hand. Big head, and climbed back into the cart behind.

A young man about 20 years old sat on the left rear side of the cart.

The little girl kept crawling to the vicinity of the young man, um, she didn't get too close, and then she didn't speak, just looked at him with wide eyes, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes.

The smile is full of innocence.

And her smile seemed to be expecting what the young man would say.

The young man didn't disappoint her, and said with a smile, "Da Ni, great job! Da Ni, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

Dani tilted her head, as if she was perplexed by his question and didn't know how to answer it.

"My lord, sit carefully, don't fall and bump!" The man in his forties who was sitting in front of the scooter looking at the camel beast turned around, greeted with concern, and then said with an explanation: "My baby accidentally fell down two years ago, and his head is not very bright. My son, please forgive me!"

"Oh, that's it, haven't you checked with the pharmacist?"

"How can I not look at it! I spent a lot of money, but the wound is healed, but..." The big man pointed to his head, and then his eyes were a little red, and he couldn't speak.

At this time, the little girl was still looking at the young man ignorantly.

The young man stretched out his hand and beckoned.

The little girl immediately smiled, and quickly crawled to the young man's side, but she didn't make any further moves.

The young man stroked the little girl's head with his hand, and then casually asked: "Old Mu, the signboard of your house has three circles hanging on the outside of the wooden letter. I am familiar with this sign. Do you know someone named Mu? There are many people?"

Hearing this, the man who was driving the cart was a little startled, and even the woman who had been arranging the goods on the other side of the cart with her head down, also stopped her movements.

"Young master... dare to ask, how old is the Mu Dayou you are talking about?" After hesitating for a while, the man said this.

"Well, let me calculate, if he is still alive, he should be over 150 years old." The young man said.

Hearing this, the man driving the car was even more suspicious. This time he was suspicious for a long time before speaking, and there was obvious hesitation in his words, "Young master, my great-grandfather is called Mu Dayou, which is also in line with what you said. age, but he has been dead for many years."

"Oh, that should be right." After a pause, the young man said so, but there was no follow-up.

The man driving the car wanted to talk a lot, but he didn't know what to say and what to ask, and her mother-in-law continued to pack the goods.

The atmosphere lasted a little strangely throughout the afternoon, until the evening, when the camel beast pulled the cart down the official road, and the family prepared dinner and took a rest.

The moonlight is good today, and after rest, you can continue your journey at night, but at a slower speed.

But at this time, the young man got off the cart, and said to the driver: "Old Mu, I'll take your car to get here. You are busy, so let's leave now."

Hearing this, the man was even more hesitant, "Young master, there is no town in front of this place, and no one in the back, how are you going to travel alone? It's getting dark now, my lord, why don't you..."

"No!" Before he finished speaking, the young man interrupted him, waved his hand to say goodbye, and said with a light smile, "I forgot to tell you, I took a car with Mu Dayou before. , he was the same age as you are now, and if I remember correctly, he had a big birthmark on his right hand."

After saying this, the young man turned around and left, and quickly disappeared from the family's sight.

But the man driving the car and his wife looked at each other, both stunned.

"His father, is he talking about our family's ancestors?" After murmuring for a while, the woman said.

"Yes, on the portrait of my great-grandfather, there is indeed a birthmark on the back of the hand." The man has not recovered until now.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the ears of the two of them, "Daddy, Mommy, I'm so hungry!"

The two turned their heads in an instant, lowered their heads, and looked at the little girl beside them, "Xiaoyu, you can talk!?" The man almost screamed, while the woman was stunned for a moment, her eyes immediately turned red.

"Quickly tell dad, are you really good at talking?" The next moment, the man put his rough hands on the little girl's shoulders and shook them immediately.

Fortunately, he was still paying attention to his strength, but he was still a little bit out of control.

"Daddy, I can talk all the time!" The little girl raised her head and said, then reached out to wipe the big man's tears, "Daddy, why are you crying?"

Yes, the little girl has always been able to talk, but after the fall that time, she only said eh, ah, etc.

Can't even say two words.

And most of the time, she never speaks.

His eyes are also a little dull.

Where is it like now?
"Quick, bye, quick, bye! We have met a saint!" The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said hastily, even the words were a bit unclear.

Then he took the woman's hand and the little girl's hand, and the three of them knelt on the ground.

The young man is Xu Yishan.

Xu Yishan is not a saint, he is not even a heavenly rank, but to this family of three, there seems to be no difference between him and a saint.

More than a hundred years ago, when he came to Annan County to take office, on a whim, he took a camel cart and walked slowly all the way. It took more than half a month from Nanzhou to arrive at the county town. The owner of the camel cart was named Mu Great.

The time is passing by, unknowingly a hundred years.

From Mu Dayou's descendants, Xu Yishan felt the passage of time.

The official road is still the same official road, and it seems to be the same as it was more than a hundred years ago, but it is a little older, or there is a town beside the official road that passed by at noon, which did not exist more than a hundred years ago.

And other than that, it seems like nothing has changed.

In fact, there are also changes, himself.

When he came here, he seemed to be in his 40s, about the same age as Mu Da.

Today, Mu Dayou's descendants are also in their 40s, but he looks much younger than back then.

Xu Yishan was not in a hurry either, he walked along the official road like an ordinary person, stopping and going.

On the official road, there are camel carts coming and going from time to time, and he also rubs a section from time to time.

Listening to the old man talking about some anecdotes about Nanzhou and the county town, listening to the big man chatting about some stories during his business trip, occasionally some young girls expressed their affection for him, and there were also some little boys and girls crawling to him to play, yes He cast a curious look.

In this way, Xu Yishan spent seven days on foot, or on different camel carts, from the county town to the state capital.

Tall walls, ancient walls.

The city walls are all built with huge blue stones, the height is actually not very high, only more than ten meters, but the width is more than forty meters, facing the top of the city wall on both sides of the official road, there are wine flags waving and stack flags flying directly. .

In the distance, the image of a majestic majestic city came into view of all the visitors.

Standing under the city gate, looking at the bottom of the city wall that has been covered with thick moss for many years and layers, Xu Yishan smiled and expressed emotion:

"I am back."
