“小默，你去哪里？”

见陈默走向房门，李家勛当即出声询问了一句。

王凌岳也是朗声道：“今儿我回家，住我这。”

陈默略显欣喜的点了点头：“谢谢岳哥。”

“嗯？小默之前住哪里？”

王凌岳理所当然的说道：“和我爹住一个屋..”

陈默见王凌岳说的有歧义，解释道：“老太公给家里的岳哥的伯伯们都留了房间，除了刘管家之外，谁都不让进的...”

李家勛恍然大悟：“原来是这样..”

很快，隨著三名少年郎钻进了被窝。

陈默盖上被子之后不由得发出来一声由衷的感慨：“岳哥的被子真暖和啊。”

李家勛的略显疑惑：“你们是咋认识的啊。”

王凌岳摸了摸下巴，显然不知道如何开口。

“你们俩到底是啥关係？”

王凌岳提及这个问题的时候大大咧咧的，他拍了拍陈默的肩膀：“小默是我认不久的乾弟弟。”

见李家勛眸中疑惑更甚，陈默只好解释了一句：“家乡遭了水灾，想著南下逃荒、当时到了扬州地界，那些军警的不让进城乞食，適逢天降大雨，乡邻们判断湖泊多半会决口，便让我们冒著大雨赶路。”

“后来，高邮、洪泽、邵伯三湖发生湖啸，湖堤溃决，听说死了很多很多人，具体有多少，我也不知道，我的那些乡邻长辈们同样淹死了不少、还有一些是淋雨病死的，饿死的。”

李家勛插嘴问了一句：“政府没有賑济吗？”

“虽有賑济，然杯水车薪...”王凌岳显然对这些情况非常了解，他接著嘆了口气：“听说金陵城內遭灾的家里只给了六角钱，也不知道这么点钱够干什么用。”

陈默说道：“若不是老太公心善，恐怕我早就饿死在了金陵城外...”

王凌岳一脸的骄傲：“那是自然，老太公时常教导我，积善之家，必有余庆，我们王家出钱在城外设了粥棚、捐了不少的善款，救活了不少人。”

31年江淮水灾直接造成的经济损失估算在二十余亿元。

时年国民政府財税收入不过四亿左右。

本就无力賑济，適逢外敌入侵，石友三叛乱、国民政府分裂、內忧外患之下造成了极为严重的人道主义灾难。

这一场持续了大半年的水灾，仅死亡人数便多达百万，甚至数百万人，淹没上亿亩耕地，民眾生產生活受到了极大的影响。

像陈默这样“没了家的孤儿”，数量极多。

陈默也是幸运的。

遇到了“积德行善”的老太公，让刘管家一行人出手救了他一把。

否则，他只会像是一条无人问津的病老狗一般，死后任由其他野狗分食。

陈默显然不愿意过多提及逃难途中发生的事情，隱去了许多的故事细节。

不过，李家勛能够感受到。

陈默提及老太公的时候，语气之中明显带著些许的变化。

感激之中带著尊敬，又藏著一些畏惧？

李家勛不傻，老太公这样的人，绝不是无缘无故的大发善心。

能够让陈默住进家里面来，大概率是看中了其身上的某一点。

陈默的身上应该也是有些秘密的。

只是陈默不愿意说，李家勛也就不问。

很快。

西厢房的灯火熄了，偌大的宅院，陷入了更深的寂静。

正厅里。

老太公手里盘著那两颗油光鋥亮的核桃，“咯咯”的碰撞声，在这空旷的厅堂里，是唯一的迴响。

王伯依旧垂手立在一旁，像一尊没有情绪的泥塑，与这厅堂里的名贵陈设融为了一体，同样沉默。

“城东那几家铺子的租子，明儿个，你去收一下。”

老太公终於开了口，声音平淡，像是在吩咐一件再寻常不过的家事。

王伯那万年不变的笑脸上，露出了一丝疑惑，“爹，这事儿往常不都是刘管家去办的吗？”

“他？”

老太公冷哼一声，將手里的核桃往红木茶几上重重一放：“他明天有更要紧的事。”

他抬起眼皮，那双精明的眸子，在烛光下闪著摄人的光。

“明天一早，让刘管家备好马车，把那个叫李家勛的后生，稳稳噹噹地送到军校门口。”

“另外，我前两天刚跟你二哥通过信，他现在在军政部那边，跟军校的几个教官应该能够说上话。”

“我会托人带信过去，让那边的人平日里多照拂一下这个姓李的后生。”
