Mountain People

After setting up Shen Shikang, Gu Shuixiu called Dong Yi outside and asked, "Have you been in contact with this person before? Will saving him bring us any trouble?"

Dong Yi knew that Gu Shuixiu was most afraid of trouble, and immediately assured: "Madam, this Lord Shen is an honest and honest official, and he knows the suffering of the people. He is one of the few good officials in the court who loves the people, but the court is corrupt It's outrageous, people like Shen Shen must be attacked, and this time I'm afraid that's why they suffered.

My subordinates can’t guarantee whether Lord Shen will bring danger to our family, but Lord Shen will definitely not betray us. If he hadn’t been so stubborn, he wouldn’t have offended so many people. If Madam is worried, when she wakes up, her subordinates will send Lord Shen to take a detour to leave, ensuring that no clues will be revealed. "

Gu Shuixiu waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when everyone wakes up."

Jiankang is 108,000 miles away from them, how could such a humerus minister be chased to this place, and this person doesn’t look like he knows kung fu, everything is completely wrong Gu Shuixiu didn't think it was an interception, but it was all just her guess, and she had to wait until someone woke up to find out.

Shen Shikang slept until the early morning of the next day. As soon as he woke up, Dong Yi immediately came over to report to Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu.

The couple didn't hesitate to put things in their minds, and went straight to the guest room.

Shen Shikang put on his washed clothes, and when he saw Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu, he immediately bowed in thanks and said, "Thank you for your help, Shen Shikang is very grateful."

Gu Shuixiu motioned Dong Chenghu to speak, and Dong Chenghu stepped forward to help Shen Shikang and asked him to sit down. At this moment, Shen Shikang's stomach heard a "gurgling" sound, Gu Shuixiu quickly asked Dong Yi to go to the kitchen to get something to eat of.

Shen Shikang was a little embarrassed, but Gu Shuixiu took the initiative to smile: "We forgot, but you haven't eaten since yesterday, and there is nothing good in the deep mountains, so it's not good to eat a full stomach. question."

Shen Shikang smiled and thanked him, as if he didn't care about food at all.

Dong Chenghu then asked: "This gentleman doesn't look like the people in the mountains, and he doesn't look like the people from ten miles and eight villages. I don't know where the gentleman is from?"

Shen Shikang paused for a moment, thinking about how to describe his identity, but when he thought about the current situation, he seemed to have nothing to hide, so he sighed and said: "The old man's real name is Shen Shikang, he is It was an official from Daliang, who later resigned and moved to Panlong Town, where he lived in seclusion in Qingping Mountain and did not care about the world. This time, he went into the mountain with his grandson and a few guards. Rolling into the river, the people in my family are probably going crazy right now.

Can you please take me back, I don't know where I am now? "

Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu looked at each other, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Chenghu immediately put on a sincere smile and said, "Master Shen, you have to go back and say, I will ask my servants to take you out later, this mountain belongs to our family, We surrounded the mountain, so it is very safe, but it is difficult for outsiders to find it. If you were not caught by the fishing net we made this time, I am afraid that it will be washed away by the river.

There is a waterfall not far from this section of the river. You have just escaped danger, you can take a rest at our house first, and it will not be too late for you to leave when it is a little brighter. "

Shen Shikang's heart is warm, thank Dong Chenghu and his wife again, now Dong Yi also came in with food, a bowl of seafood porridge, with peeled shrimp and some lean meat in it Clams, and other accessories such as kelp and mountain mushrooms, are so fragrant that they can hook out people's greed.

Shen Shikang had been hungry for a long time. At this time, there was such a porridge, and he devoured it immediately. Although he ate it cruelly, it didn't look vulgar. Could it be that this is the cultivation of a literati?

Gu Shuixiu was full of thoughts.

After Shen Shikang quickly solved this porridge, he finally said with satisfaction: "My grandfather is so humble, this porridge is much more delicious than what we make at home, so I am also in Jiankang. I ate this kind of porridge at a friend's house when I was there."

The kelp and other seafood in the seafood porridge can't be afforded by ordinary people. Jiankang does not rely on the sea. Although there is no shortage of materials, the price of seafood is indeed very expensive, and things like clams are even more expensive. I've never seen Shen Shikang clean and honest, living a very frugal life, how could he be so extravagant to eat this kind of food.

Dong Chenghu said with a smile: "Master Shen doesn't have to call me graciously, my surname is Dong, my name is Chenghu, and Master Shen calls me Chenghu, this is my wife, surnamed Gu. If you like to eat this seafood porridge, I will ask the servants to pack some for you, it's all seafood made by myself, and it's not worth a lot of money."

"No no no, how can the old man ask for your things!" Shen Shikang was very determined, and then said: "Since you don't let me call your benefactor, then don't call me Lord Shen. , there is no Lord Shen for a long time, you can just call me Mr. Shen."

Gu Shuixiu and his wife immediately responded with a smile.

This Shen Shikang is very talkative, very knowledgeable, and has questions.

Gu Shuixiu thought of where Shen Shikang lived and didn't know where it was. Find the Shen family and report again, and they will send him back when the time comes.

Shen Shikang refused, so he agreed. Dong Yi went out for a long time. Knowing that Baoer and the others did not see Dong Yi when they came back from the Qin family, Baoer and Zhang Xingchi were as usual. When they came back, they had some snacks, which Gu Shuixiu specially made for them.

Today's dim sum is fresh shrimp stewed egg custard, and a plate of pot stickers, which can be both dim sum and food. The three children saw Shen Shikang sitting in the yard and invited him out of courtesy Come and eat together.

Shen Shikang was very surprised by the three little behaviors. He moved to this mountain for a while, and the people he met were all uninformed and rude men. Very stubborn, or too precocious, it is rare to be as polite as Zhang Xingchi and others.

Shen Shikang followed their wishes and sat down together.
