Mo Xiaohe hurried home and found a thick mattress, the men in the village were all moving stones below to save people, and the eldest uncle could only rest in the tent he had set up, and the charcoal pot was only a little hot, and it was even colder at night, so he had to find something to keep warm.

"I still have two futons at home, and I just bring them with me, so that if someone is rescued, I can also respond to emergencies."

Sun tied the quilt with a rope and carried it on his back, Mo Xiaohe carried a burden behind him, carrying a food box in his hand, the two supported each other, the lamp oil was used for lighting, so as to save people, and the black light blinded the fire, and the two could only stumble up the mountain by groping.

"Xiaohe, my uncle is overtired, and I'm asleep at this time."

Mo Daya made a silent motion, and then took the food box and put it on the table, she has been busy boiling water in a cauldron, and the villagers and the men who serve the forced labor carry stones together, how can they have a mouthful of hot water to drink.

Mo Xiaohe gently opened the tent, took the quilt handed by Sun, and covered his uncle with him, Li Dazhuang was physically exhausted, and fell asleep, his face was abnormally flushed, and he seemed to have a fever.

"Cousin, what's the situation now?"

Mo Xiaohe went down the mountain once, back and forth, tossing for half an hour, such a cold day, because she was in too much hurry, she had a thin layer of sweat on her back, which would faintly rush to the chills all over her body, which was a sign of infection with wind and cold, but now she can't take care of herself, saving people is important.

"Two people were just lifted up from under the stones, their heads were smashed and flowered, the village chief didn't let us pass, and some men were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they trembled for a long time before they lifted out their bodies."

The village chief came to ask for a sheet, covering the corpse with a sheet, although Mo Daya didn't see it, just listening to the description, she could imagine how miserable the scene was, but she couldn't help a lot now, so she could only boil water to quench the thirst of the person who carried the stone.

In the crowd, there was a faint sound of crying, Sun turned around, and sighed again and again, crying was an outsider from Tianshui Village, who lived in an old couple's house in the village, the little lady had only been married for a few days, and her husband was conscripted to serve in the conscription, and the little lady could not rest assured, so she followed to take care of it, and like Mo Xiaohe, she often opened the fire to make steamed buns and sent them to her husband.

There is a man whose head was smashed flat, it was her husband, his face was blurred with flesh and blood, and he couldn't see it really, but the man had a purse hanging on his body, which was embroidered by his mother, and the husband and wife became married.

"That little lady fainted several times, what a sin!"

Sun shook his head, added firewood, quarrying is dangerous, every time there is a big fight, a few will die, causing a landslide accident, but I have never heard of it, I don't know if it is a natural disaster, or **, the little lady's cry is really sad to hear it, and it is tearful to see it.

At this moment, Mo Xiaohe's feelings are a little complicated, she sympathizes with the families of those who have lost their innocent lives, and while feeling sorry for them, she is happy in her heart, thanks to her husband Gu Zheng's absence, otherwise, she is afraid that she will not be able to live.

The wind picked up in the night, and before dawn came, it suddenly rained, and the mountain was slippery, and several people rolled down the hillside with one foot in the air, and some people were seriously injured because of this, so they had to stop looking for people.

The premise of helping others is to protect themselves, the men in the village worked all night, their eyes were bloodshot, and more than a dozen corpses were dug up, and the rest were still at the bottom, with little hope of survival.

"Let's go, let's go back, and leave the rest to the people of the yamen to complete."

The village chief struck a broken gong and led the villagers down the mountain, Mo Xiaohe found the official and asked about the arrangements for the eldest uncle, and was told that he could take it home to recuperate, and then wait for the notice.

After a night of hard work, seventeen people were found, only Li Dazhuang picked up one life, and the rest had already been breathing for a long time, and they were cold corpses.

At dawn, the sky was dark, the cold wind was blowing, and the raindrops, walking on the rural dirt road, Mo Xiaohe only felt that the soles of her feet were very heavy, every step she took, the soles of her shoes would bring a circle of mud, her shoes were soaked, she could squeeze out water when she walked, and the cold touch spread from the soles of her feet to the limbs of her body, and the feeling was stiff and numb.

"Xiaohe, you seem to have a fever!"

Mo Daya has been boiling water all night, warming up next to Chai He, just a little tired at the moment, she saw Mo Xiaohe's face blushing like a delicate peony flower, testing the temperature with her hands, and immediately surprised, she already had a fever, and with the rain, it will definitely be more serious.

"I think it's better to do this, let Brother Li come to my house to recuperate, and my son can take care of him."

At the door of the house, Sun looked at the two sisters, Mo Xiaohe and Mo Daya, both of whom were female dependents, not to mention whether they had the strength for the time being, it was not like that to serve a man, and it was not convenient to live under the same roof.

Mo Daya was in trouble because of this, thinking about how to ask for help, Sun took the initiative to ask, she hurriedly nodded and agreed, and thanked her, "Auntie, the family is thanks to you, don't worry, your good, let's remember it!" ”

"You're welcome, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors."

The other party responded, Sun's heart was more down-to-earth, so that he would atone for his sins, and he would not die too miserably in the future, looking at Mo Xiaohe's meaning, it seemed that she did not intend to pursue, so she could be regarded as escaping.

Back in the yard, Mo Xiaohe was dizzy, her clothes were soaked, sticky on her body, uncomfortable, so she had to plead, "Cousin, help me boil some hot water, I want to take a bath, my hair is drenched by the rain, and it is uncomfortable." ”

Mo Daya had already extinguished the fire before leaving, this will be a cold pot and a cold stove at home, the firewood placed outside was wet by the rain, and could not be lit at all, she went to the firewood room to carry a basket of firewood, just moved to the stove, and saw that it was angry and funny, "Wipe your body with a dry cloth towel, change your clothes and lie down quickly, what else do you wash?" It's up to you. ”

"If you don't wash it, you can't sleep."

Mo Xiaohe is indeed a little particular, her family used to live in the countryside, she also washed every day, especially her hair was wet by the rain, she always felt that something was wrong with her body if she didn't wash it, she had obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard, not to mention that now it is not in the wilderness, but at home, it is also convenient.

"You go to the house to change your clothes first, take care of the cold, and I'll boil hot water for you."

Mo Daya lit the charcoal pot in the house, there was already a little heat, she hastily changed a set of clothes, forced to roll noodles, the food at home was taken to the mountain, was shared by the villagers, there was nothing left, there was a small pot on the small red clay stove next to it, boiling ginger brown sugar water to ward off the cold.

The dark clouds in the distance were like thick ink, they looked very low, as if they were within reach, the villagers who had been busy all night had reached the limit of their physical strength, and they were resting at the moment, Gu Zheng returned to Tianshui Village, and he didn't meet anyone on the way.

Knocking on the door, only one breath, there was Mo Daya's answer, she saw Gu Zheng standing at the door wearing a robe, and immediately overjoyed, as if she had found a savior, "Brother-in-law, you are back!" ”

"What, what's going on at home?"

Gu Zheng put down a few paper bags in his hand and followed Mo Daya back to the upper room, only to see that his lady's clothes had been changed halfway, and she was only wearing a belly pocket on her upper body, revealing her fair skin and thin shoulders.

"Xiaohe is in the rain, and she wants to take a bath, otherwise she won't be able to sleep, this girl is ......"

Mo Daya felt that she was redundant, coughed twice in embarrassment, went to the stove and brought two large bowls of ginger brown sugar water, and woke up Mo Xiaohe, "Xiaohe, drink the cold first, and then sleep, the water in the pot will be boiled immediately, don't you want to take a bath?" ”

"Cousin, I want to sleep for a while."

In a daze, Mo Xiaohe only felt that she was being held in her arms lightly, with strong and powerful arms, as if she was her own husband, she opened her eyes all of a sudden, and when she saw Gu Zheng, tears flowed down the ground.

"Lady, what's wrong?"

Gu Zheng was startled, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears for Mo Xiaohe, at a loss, it wasn't that he deliberately didn't return, he couldn't get out of his body last night, someone came from Beidi Licheng, he finished his errand and rushed back as fast as possible, because of this rain, it was delayed for another hour.

"It's nothing, I'm just afraid I'll never see you again, woo."

Mo Xiaohe endured it for a night, thinking of the shock and worry he felt when he got the news, and pretending to be calm and strong, he couldn't help it anymore, and directly hugged Gu Zheng's waist and cried.

"I'm back, I won't say hello next time, I asked my uncle to help deliver a letter, did he forget?"

Suddenly confused by the sentimentality of his own lady, Gu Zheng thought slowly, and was about to explain, when he saw Mo Xiaohe sit up, put his hands around his neck, and put two red and gorgeous lips.

Just cried, with mist in her eyes and tears on her cheeks, Mo Xiaohe was like a little rabbit, both weak and moving, Gu Zheng couldn't resist the temptation of beauty, and reflexively threw her down, and the couple used fiery and lingering kisses to express their feelings of missing each other.

Mo Daya blinked very resentfully, retreated, stepped back, between husband and wife, but they haven't seen each other for a day, and they have such strong feelings? Rather than feeling that she is an outsider, it is better to say that she is a background board, completely ignored, and there is no chance to speak.

It wasn't until Mo Xiaohe was about to stop breathing that Gu Zheng reluctantly let go, his eyes were surging with strong affection, and the beating flames seemed to burn people.

"I put a charcoal basin in the clean room, it should be warm now, I'll go to the stove to bring you hot water."

For the lady, Gu Zheng is infinitely spoiled, basically whatever she says, if she falls asleep directly without washing, I'm afraid she won't sleep well.

"Brother-in-law, Xiaohe hasn't slept all night, she has a cold, it seems to be infected with a cold, you have to be careful, I will boil a big pot of hot water and put some noodles down."

Mo Daya instructed, just came back to her senses, only to see a figure flashing, Gu Zheng disappeared, so that she didn't have time to say the second half of the sentence, swallowed in her stomach, she shook her head, evoked a light smile, although she was abused by the husband and wife, but it also made her firmly believe that there are still good men in the world, maybe, she can still meet, she was so unlucky before, God will compensate her, right?

"Lady, you haven't slept all night? What about uncle? Didn't you come to deliver the news? ”

Gu Zheng took the bath beans, dry cloth towel and a change of clothes, tested the water temperature with his hands, and then patted Mo Xiaohe's shoulder and carried her into the bathtub, "I left in a hurry yesterday, and there were a few people around me, so I didn't come to the house to say hello." ”

Gu Zheng has his own considerations, he doesn't want those people from Licheng to harass his own lady, and besides, there are many people in the village, and he doesn't want to leak people and arouse the suspicion of others.

"Husband, cousin hasn't had time to say it, right?"

Mo Xiaohe buried her whole body under the water, only revealing one head, the hot water was bubbling with white mist, which made her cheeks more magnificent color, and she described the tragic situation last night with tears in her eyes.

The quarry mountain collapsed, and the yamen did not rescue, maybe they knew that they were buried under the stones, and there was little hope of survival, and they didn't want to waste time, so they said that they would rescue today, and after it rained in the morning, the officials did not come out at all. If she hadn't insisted on spending money to buy lighting oil for lighting and asking the villagers for help, maybe her uncle's life would have to be explained.

"Woo, husband, let's stop doing it, it's only been a few months, and there have been several accidents, and the yamen is serving as a servant, and people can't fight with their lives!"

Isn't it a sudden need to build fortifications, and in such a hurry, not tensions between the two countries? More than 20 years ago, Dayue and Dawu were two great powers that were evenly matched, and if we really discussed strength, I am afraid that Dawu would be relatively rich.

Da Wu bowed to Da Yue, there was a period of past, so many years, the two countries exchanged each other, and there was nothing to do with each other, but Da Wu suddenly attacked the border city, really no purpose?

"There are more than 20 people, and the court will always give an explanation."

If they don't rescue and don't give explanations, they will definitely chill people's hearts, they are serving forced labor rather than prisoners, they have no freedom and human lives, and soon someone will have to organize a rebellion, as long as everyone is united, the yamen has no choice.

Gu Zheng scrubbed his wife's hair, his face was clear, there was an accident, his uncle didn't come back in time to deliver the letter, the lady thought he was buried underneath, so he was anxious, this feeling of being cared for, remembered, and cared about was really good, and he unconsciously softened the contours of his face.

"Husband, you said that someone from Licheng came from the city, could it be someone from the family? Shall we go back? ”

Mo Xiaohe suddenly remembered that her husband's arm was injured and she couldn't get wet, and just now, he was washing her hair.

"It's already scabbed, I'm not afraid of water, I don't exercise vigorously, and the wound won't crack."

Gu Zheng took Mo Xiaohe out, wiped her body with a dry cloth, and his fiery eyes stayed on her all the time, which made Mo Xiaohe feel that the temperature around her had risen sharply, she lowered her head, her ears were red, and she was still embarrassed to be naked in front of him after being married for a year.

"People from the city have come, and the city lord has sent a powerful steward to find me."

The city lord has already designated Gu Zheng as the next city lord, and announced to Licheng, so that he is ready to go back to take over, and another point, the situation between Dayue and Dawu has not been stable recently, and the two countries have jointly discovered a gold mine, which is at the junction, and both sides are unwilling to let go for the sake of interests.

"So that's the case, no wonder Dawu wants to increase fortifications."

Mo Xiaohe knows that even if the monarchs of the two countries have a relationship, it does not mean that all the courtiers under them are united, as long as one party takes the initiative to provoke, war is about to break out, in this case, as two people with roots in Dayue and unusual identities, it may be a little dangerous.

"When the gold mines were discovered last year, both countries started to be reserved, and they didn't show too much of it."

The Mo family had long expected that there would be this day, and they prepared in advance, and the Mo family left behind by Dawu moved back to Dayue safely, and the news has not been leaked, and the people of Pingtou do not know about it at all.

Licheng got the news, the city lord was in a hurry, once the two countries went to war and the border was closed, it would be more difficult to get out than to ascend to the sky, Gu Zheng, as the next city lord of Licheng, could not be in danger, and the city lord sent a housekeeper to pick up people.

"But ......"

Mo Xiaohe opened her mouth, if this was the case, she found that she couldn't find a reason to stay, and the rest of the relatives in the family, especially the Li family, had to be taken away, for fear of being implicated, she thought about it and asked, "Husband, are we leaving?" ”

"I think, the news hasn't gotten out yet, and it's a small number of people who know it, and they won't go to war so quickly."

The last war was more than 20 years ago, and in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, the country and the people are safe, and the soldiers raised have no experience in war at all, and they have to drill, deploy, and prepare materials to fight a war.

"The butler came for two things, one is to inform me of the news that there may be a war, and the other is to ......"

Gu Zheng paused, and became expressionless again, "Mrs. Gu is gone, she has disappeared for nearly two months, and the housekeeper has gone all the way to Dawu, and he has calculated that Mrs. Gu must have left home to come to see me." ”

"Mother-in-law?"

Mo Xiaohe suddenly recalled the scene he saw in the rockery of the City Lord's Mansion, and the appearance of the actor Qingli flashed in his mind, Mrs. Gu left home, would it have anything to do with him?
