When Wei Yunhai came back, it was already the middle of the night.

Ye Hexiang opened the door, fetched water to wash with him, and diligently handed a sweat towel to help, pinched his shoulder blades, looked at his face and said, "Big brother, are we really not going to Yuxian?"

Wei Yunhai closed his eyes and nodded: "You take Xing'er Jinbao with you, Min Wu and I stay, if it really gets a big flood, we will go to you." ”

Ye Hexiang still didn't give up, and tried her best day and night. Although Wei Yunhai had a very happy night, he still did not let go.

Ye Hexiang was completely dead, no longer pestering Wei Yunhai, and was ready to take Zhang Xingzhang Jinbao to Yuxian. Zhang Xingzi didn't go with her. Not to mention, this Uncle Ye came inexplicably, so she couldn't help but think from Ye Yunqing to Huaiyang, just take the incident that she met that Zhu Ye in Yuxian County, she would never set foot there again.

The fragrance of Ye He was so fragrant that she had to pluck her ears. Zhang Xing Rabbit seemed to have to run out of the door. As soon as Zhang Xing ran, Zhang Jinbao also ran away with a smoke. Ye Hexiang couldn't catch it.

If she doesn't have a daughter, she can still take her son with her, and when her son grows up, she still has to rely on. But now even Zhang Jinbao refuses to go, what is the point of going alone? Ye Hexiang sat on the threshold and sighed for a long time.

When it was dark, Zhang Xing took Zhang Jinbao back and said, "Mother, I told Jinbao that he would go to Yuxian with you." ”

Ye Hexiang didn't believe it, looking at the sister and brother holding hands. Zhang Xing pushed Zhang Jinbao to Ye Hexiang. Zhang Jinbao smiled and pulled Ye Hexiang's arm and said, "Mother, let's go and go back quickly, I still have to bring delicious food for my eldest sister." ”

Ye Hexiang took Zhang Jinbao to Buhe Village the next day, and Wei Yunhai and Wei Minwu were on the embankment. Zhang Xing was the only one left in the family, and she simply delivered meals every day. Just stay on the embankment and watch the turbid waves roll and flow eastward. The opposite bank is no longer clear, and there is only a shallow line left on the embankment here, which seems to be likely to be flooded by the turbulent river at any time.

Wei Minwu came to her and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zhang Xing pointed to the embankment that stretched to the original place and said, "When can we not worry about this embankment?" Although she has only been here for three years, she also understands the torment of walking for a while at this time of year.

Wei Min Wushun looked at the place where she pointed, "Then it depends on God." He said. He grew up by the Huai River. Mother Fu Cuihua was not in the water, and her feelings for this Huai River were deeper than Zhang Xing.

"Isn't there any other way than to look at God's face?" Zhang Xing asked again, "You can build a high embankment, you can dredge the river, and you can even divert the river, isn't that okay?"

Wei Minwu glanced at Zhang Xing in surprise, and then looked left and right for a while. He asked, "Who are you listening to when you say this?" The matter of this river is all decided by the court officials, but it is not our turn to intervene." He sneered again, "Didn't you build a dam once a few years ago? It's worse than not fixing. ”

Zhang Xing was silent. Didn't she just encounter the collapse of a new embankment when she first arrived?

Both of them remembered the flood in the thirty-fifth year of Yuanping. Wei Minwu asked, "I heard that you also have a younger sister, do you know where she was sold?"

Zhang Xing shook her head.

Zhang Tao was taken away by Zhu Yapo in Quantang Town, and the second year after she came back, she found the news that Zhu Yapo asked Zhang Tao. Zhu Yapo refused to tell the truth. coaxed her to say that she was sold into a big family to enjoy happiness, and she couldn't promise money. It was the neighbor who summoned her. Tell her in a low voice: "Girl, are you asking the people that this woman collected in Xiatou Village last year?"

Zhang Xing nodded hurriedly. also talked about Zhang Tao's appearance, and asked the aunt if she had seen it.

The woman shook her head and said, "Don't ask, this Zhu Pozi received twenty or thirty girls in Xiatou Village last year, and she was originally going to sell them to Jiankang Nanjing and other places, but when the boat reached the mouth of the wolf's teeth, it capsized, and only two or three girls in a boatload were rescued, and your sister was not rescued." ”

Zhang Xing's heart was so cold at that time that she couldn't wait to beat up that Zhu Yapo.

Seeing her gritting her teeth, Zhu Yapo closed the door of the house and said in the door: "Your sister signed a dead wedge, and the money was given to your mother, I said it earlier, life and death have nothing to do with it, and it is useless for you to look for me, you go quickly, if you don't leave, I will let the dog go." ”

"Haven't you inquired?" Wei Minwu asked again.

Zhang Xing replied, "Why didn't you inquire? ”

Wei Minwu turned his head away and didn't ask any more.

After another rain, the atmosphere on the embankment was even more solemn, and at night, news came from the embankment that Jinxiakou, which was about twenty or thirty miles away from the embankment of the Zhanghe River, had burst, and Jinxia Town, Yulin Town and other towns had been flooded in large areas.

Jinxia and other towns are located in the lower reaches of the Zhanghe River, and the execution of the embankment has eased the water situation here. After a few days of fine weather, the water level finally began to fall. Everyone on the embankment breathed a sigh of relief.

After living in Yuxian County for more than ten days, Ye Hexiang also went home with Zhang Jinbao, and when she met people, she said how magnificent the Ye family's new house was, and how polite Ye Yunqing and Ye Wu treated her.

Zhang Xing was frightened when she heard this, and she couldn't ask Ye Hexiang, so she pulled Zhang Jinbao aside and asked.

"Didn't you live in that house last time?" In the thirty-fifth year of Yuanping, Ye Hexiang took Zhang Jinbao to live in Ye Yunlan's mansion.

"Sister, this time we don't have a guest house. Zhang Jinbao thought for a while and said.

Zhang Xingcai remembered that when Yuan Ping was thirty-five years old, Zhang Jinbao was only four years old, where did he remember this? He was regarded as Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu's small test.

"Then where do you live?" Zhang Xing asked.

"We live at Brother Ye's house. Zhang Jinbao said, "His family is big, and Brother Ye also took me on horseback." Sister, do you also know how to ride a horse?"

Zhang Xing froze, shook her head and said, "Sister won't." "Did Ye Yunqing's family buy a new house? Or is this house someone else's at all?

Zhang Jinbao frowned and muttered, "Brother Ye, how can you say that you can also ride a horse?" and said that you are good at archery, sister, can you shoot arrows?"

Zhang Xinggan smiled dryly and shook her head, although she can shoot arrows, she can't ride a horse, Ye Xinchen was wrong.

"What else did he say?" Zhang Xing asked again.

"He also asked why didn't you come? I said that you have to cook for your uncle and second brother at home, you can't come," Zhang Jinbao thought for a while, and exclaimed, "By the way, sister, I also met the scammers I met last time in the snow." ”

"Liar, what liar?" Zhang Xing couldn't remember for a while.

"It was when it snowed last year, you came to pick me up from school, and we met the swindlers who asked us for our way on the road, and they said they would ask us for money, but after asking, we rode away. Eldest sister, don't you remember?" Zhang Jinbao asked Zhang Xing rhetorically.

Zhang Xing thought for a while before he remembered. It's just that she hasn't thought of the true identity of these people. Seeing Zhang Jinbao mention it, he asked casually: "Is it? Did they recognize you, did they ask you again?"

Zhang Jinbao shook his head, "They didn't ask me, they didn't see me." ”

"Didn't see you?" Zhang Xing didn't believe her ears a little.

"Yes, I saw them coming, so I hid under the pavilion. Zhang Jinbao said triumphantly, "They didn't see me." ”

Zhang Xing smiled and scratched Zhang Jinbao's little nose, "Little ghost, did you hear what they said?"

"One of them was losing his temper, the liar who was very good-looking and imposing last time, and he scolded the other one for being stupid and not doing anything well, and kicked over a pot of flowers, and then left. Zhang Jinbao said.

Zhang Xing pulled Zhang Jinbao's clothes, "Then apart from them, have you met anyone else at Brother Ye's house?"

Zhang Jinbao thought about it again and said, "Do the people in Uncle's village and Brother Ye's family count?"

Zhang Xing smiled and said, "No." ”

"Then there is none. Zhang Jinbao said.

After Zhang Xing asked, he patted Zhang Jinbao and asked him to play by himself. Zhang Jinbao ran away, she stood up, Xu squatted for a long time, a long period of dizziness, and sat down on the bench before it was relieved.

From Zhang Jinbao's words, she couldn't guess whether Gu Xichao knew about her, but Ye Xinchen must know her. Was it Ye Xinchen's idea or Gu Xichao's order to ask Ye Hexiang to take refuge in Yu County? Although the Ye family is considered a big family in Quantang Town, it is nothing if they get Yu County. It has not been two years since his family bought a house in Huaiyang, but he actually bought a big house in Yuxian County so quickly? Zhang Xing expressed doubts that Ye Yunqing's family had such a strong family background.

But if the house belonged to Gu Xichao, why did Gu Xichao give the house to Ye Xinchen and let so many people in the Ye family live in it?

Could it be said that Gu Xi had told her about her? Then since he was a person like her, why didn't he move for so long?

Or is it just a matter of not long ago?

Zhang Xing was shocked. If you only know that the road is not long enough, does it mean that big trouble is coming?

As soon as Zhang Xing thought that the people in the Huaiyang Mansion knew about his own affairs, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. What will they do to her, a special life-saving benefactor? Zhang Xing can only think of two or three results, one is about the more common, because her reputation was damaged in saving Gu Xichao, and the Huaiyang Palace, in return, asked Gu Xichao to give her a name-her identity, which is about the standard of a concubine.

Zhang Xing's heart suddenly tumbled, and it took a long time to calm down.

One is to give her some money and send her away. But this matter has damaged the reputation of the Huaiyang Palace, and they must have another follow-up arrangement - either to send her far away, or simply to make her unable to speak?

Killing people and destroying mouths, Huaiyang Wangfu probably won't do it. After all, she still has Ye Xinchen's relationship.

Another way, bring her into the palace, find a loyal confidant and marry her. From then on, under the noses of Huaiyang Palace, they were not afraid of what waves she would make.

Neither the former nor the latter were good results for her.

There is no freedom, and it is worse to live than to die. (To be continued......)
