Chapter 271: Just when I didn't say it
On a rainy day, there was a wet and cold cool breeze floating in the cellar, with a touch of earthy smell in the cool breeze, mixed with the smell of evaporation of the wine stored in the cellar, mixed together, Mo Xiaohe's face suddenly changed, and he felt that the reaction of the early pregnancy before came up again. Lewen
She resisted the urge to suppress retching, her face was pale, and she looked a little frightened, she just didn't know what happened to her relatives at home, when she lived in the village, Mo Xiaohe especially longed for the town, surrounded by all kinds of noisy streets, dazzling, one by one shops, rouge gouache, jewelry, restaurants and teahouses, lively, how good.
Living in the countryside, it is not convenient to do anything, facing the loess with her back to the sky, going to the town, going back and forth for an hour or two, occasionally squeezing a stinky ox cart with the people in the village, she has just crossed over, she was once impressed by the scenery of the village, the good times did not last long, and began to dislike the closure of Mojia Village.
Perhaps, backwardness has the advantage of backwardness, and those whose ancestors lived in the mountains will not be disturbed by the world at all, and even the war between the two countries will have no effect on them, after all, those officers and soldiers have no leisure to go over the mountains and mountains to find trouble.
"Is it cold or not?"
Several people sat silently opposite each other, unable to find a topic for a while, and noticed that the person in his arms trembled slightly, Gu Zheng opened the package, which contained a blanket, he took it out, surrounded Mo Xiaohe, took out a quilt in the iron cabinet, and handed it to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang.
"Husband, I'm not cold."
Mo Xiaohe's eyes were sharp, and she recognized that the quilt Gu Zheng took out was bought along the way on her way to Licheng in the north, and the seller flickered and said that it was not an ordinary quilt, it was light and warm, and I didn't know if it was a psychological effect, it was indeed stronger than an ordinary quilt.
The things used in the cellar are well prepared, and the husband is indeed a careful person.
As everyone knows, all this is related to Gu Zheng's experience, because he was disfigured when he was very young and had no fixed residence, so his need for a house was always stronger than others, he went into the mountains alone to hunt when he was ten years old, got lost, and wandered around the mountains for three days.
Three days later, he came out of the mountains, the rain drenched him all over his body, and then contracted the wind cold, after he recovered, the first thing he did was to go to the mountains to build a small cabin, put some smoked bacon, and exchange the meat with the villagers for brown rice, put it in the wooden house, he thought, in the future, in case of emergencies, there will be a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
"Gu boy, when was this cellar dug?"
Aunt Zhang took the quilt, she has the problem of old cold legs, the rainy day is the most likely to get sick, just looking for a place to hide, can only decorate some food, the bedding is a large piece, but it can not be taken away, unexpectedly, the cellar is very complete.
"I've been digging for a while."
The couple returned from Kyoto and brought a lot of things, but Mo Xiaohe didn't control himself along the way, and bought a lot, and the large ones couldn't be brought to the mountains, so they piled them up in the house.
Later, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang came to defect, always to clean up, Gu Zheng saw that there was a suitable place in the backyard, dug up the cellar to store wine, specially paved with green bricks, he used a large vat to fill rice noodles, and came down every once in a while to see, if it was too damp, it would be moldy and insects, and after a few months, the stored grain was not abnormal.
"Years ago, the food skyrocketed, and I saved some more."
Gu Zheng pointed to the corner, he would definitely tell the second elder when he left this cellar, no one knew what would happen next, take precautions, there would never be a mistake, and if something happened, he could also come down first to dodge.
The situation outside is not good, Gu Zheng took Mo Xiaohe to find a place to hide, and it was reluctant, if he added Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, he could not guarantee that he would protect the second elder in a chaotic situation.
"Thanks to this place, it saved our lives."
Aunt Zhang's legs were weak, and not long after they arrived in the cellar, there was a sound of footsteps overhead, and someone entered their yard, and then, there was a shout of killing around, afraid that the people in the alley were not good.
What the hell are those people here for? Is it the soldiers of Da Yue who are attacking the city? No, it shouldn't be, the gate of Dawu has long been closed, if the city is broken, it is impossible to be so quiet, and the mountain bandits are in chaos? Or is it ......
"In half an hour, it will be dawn."
Gu Zheng patted Mo Xiaohe's back, laid out the futon, let her lie on the bed, and used the iron frame in the corner to prop up another bed for Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang to rest.
In the cellar, he could not see the sky, and could only estimate the time according to the time he came out, and he had good ears and could hear it clearly, and at least hundreds of families around him were suffering, and the miserable cries had been intermittent and unstoppable.
"Husband, I obviously don't want to sleep, but why can't I open my eyes?"
Not long after Mo Xiaohe finished speaking, he let out a shallow breath and fell asleep.
Gu Zheng stroked her little face with pity with her fingers, she was extremely tired at the moment, her cheeks faded pale, and gradually regained a little blood.
The three people who were hanging their hearts on the side were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the rain is still falling, on the eve of dawn, the rain has a tendency to increase, the cold wind blows the branches, the newly grown young leaves are washed by the rain, not contaminated with a little dirt, the veins of the leaves on the top, the stripes are distinct.
In the border towns, the slaughter continued, and a group of hundreds of horses were robbing money from house to house in a carpet manner.
"Whew, what's the difference between you and the executioner? There is just a little ration at home, which is exchanged for all the savings, and you take it all, how can we live! ”
Some people cry, some beg for mercy, and some people scold angrily, but all this can't change any ending, they should rob, they should kill, this group of people is wanton, if they meet a good little lady, they will be tied up.
They wanted to get rid of their animal desires, but they didn't have so much time, and they had to finish before dawn, so they had to arrest the girl and daughter-in-law they liked, and when they were happy, they threw them into the barracks to be military prostitutes, killing two birds with one stone.
Bright red blood, dripping down, the town's blue brick streets, there were several corpses lying on the ground, some people were wearing middle clothes, disheveled, it seemed that they had escaped from their homes in a hurry, but they still didn't hide from the butcher's knife.
Blood and rain mixed together, washing the bluestone pavement, and finally seeping into the soil under the stone slab, maybe there was too much blood, and even the rain could not wash away the sin.
Located in the cowshed behind the courtyard of the Lin family in an alley, Li Xiu was lying on her stomach in a weird posture, she pressed Lin Xiucai with her lower body, the newlyweds, but there was no joy when they got married, the two didn't say a word, Li Xiu wanted to rush out many times, but Lin Xiucai dragged him back.
"What are you going out for, do you know martial arts or are you confident that you have the ability to save people?"
Lin Xiucai was cold, listening carefully, his voice was unstable, it seemed that every word was squeezed out of his chest, he was wearing a white undershirt, and there was a big cut on his chest.
The husband and wife's cave room spent candle night, because Li Xiu had been played by the old hooligan when she was young, she tried her best to be relaxed, whenever Lin Xiu wanted to go in, she couldn't stand it and wanted to resist, and her legs kicked around.
Newlyweds, Lin Xiu can understand, he is shy when Li Xiu, patient and appeased, the two tossed until the second half of the night, Li Xiu was exhausted, no strength to toss, so he put a yuan pa under him, closed his eyes, and hoped that Lin Xiu would finish the matter early, so he said that it would hurt once, and he would endure it.
is also a sad urging, Lin Xiu just wanted to enter, when he heard a woman's scream, which sounded very infiltrating at night, he immediately softened, and he couldn't raise his interest anymore, but in his heart, he scolded the mother-in-law who screamed in the middle of the night.
Lin Xiucai worked as a scribe in the yamen, and his family lived very close to the county yamen, surrounded by well-to-do families, and was the first target of the gang of robbers. The husband and wife were still in embarrassment and didn't come back to their senses when they heard the sound of their neighbors being banged on the door.
Being broken into in the middle of the night is certainly not a good thing. After the happy event, Lin Xiucai's father and mother took Lin Shuang to the village hometown to pack up their things, they were not in the town, and they were also considerate of Li Xiu, the new daughter-in-law, who was thin-skinned, and was afraid that she would not be able to let go.
Lin Xiucai's father and mother are easy-going, think clearly, don't bother the little couple at all, leave an empty house, let them toss casually, make a few more troubles, they are happy, so that they can hug their grandson early.
"Don't talk, follow me!"
Lin Xiucai's pupils shrank, and he took Li Xiu out of the back window, and quickly closed the window. The family has a thatched shed, which raised cattle in the early years, and has a boxy depression underneath.
The depression is relatively wide, but it is also shallow, and it is difficult to hide two people, so in the end they can only use the posture of stacking arhats, Li Xiu lay down again, she grabbed the thatch used to cover it up, and wanted to bite her lip to bleed, so she forced herself not to cry.
screamed again and again, it was a dead person, so what happened to my mother's family? In the middle of the night, it was the time to sleep well, everything came too suddenly, and the family was not prepared at all!
Lin Xiucai was also shocked, his legs trembled, he was a scholar, where had he seen this? At that time, in the Yamen, a few catchers made fun of him and took him to watch the beheading, after that time, he couldn't see too bloody, and when he smelled blood, he would associate the bad scene in his mind.
Fear is fear, reason is still there, he blocked Li Xiu's mouth with his hand, afraid that she would make a sound and expose the traces of the two, fortunately, it was still dark, and the group of people was in a hurry and did not search, otherwise they would definitely be discovered.
There was a noise in the house, the dishes and chopsticks crackled and shattered, and after a few breaths, there was a burst of footsteps, and he estimated that those people had left.
"Don't move, we can't go out, we'll wait until dawn."
Lin Xiucai closed his eyes and sighed faintly, after all, he was a step too late, so did the border city start to mess up?
February Erlong raised his head, what a good day, but unfortunately it was a big murderer, he should comfort himself, the time is right, it is the third day of February.
"Husband, what should I do, how can this be?"
The person left, Li Xiu was still in shock, she muttered to herself, and burst into tears. The husband and wife hurriedly ran out of the room, wearing very little, Li Xiu only had a light belly pocket, which covered the top, but could not cover the bottom, her lips were white and shivering.
"I don't know."
Lin Xiucai sighed, the yamen can only spread gossip, he once went to deliver the file, overheard the master talking to a stranger, the meaning of the words, the war is inevitable, and it will come soon.
Because of this, Lin Xiucai teamed up with Li He to do a vote of iron business and earn a lot of silver, he was preparing to go south to Kyoto, at least if his father and little sister insisted on not leaving, he could keep enough silver to let them live in peace.
"Woo ......"
Li Xiu hugged his arms and pressed Lin Xiucai's body, looking for a heat source, but he was wearing less clothes, and it was as cold as ice cubes at the moment, and when it was dawn, he was frozen for two hours, and he was infected with the wind cold, and he definitely went to half his life.
"Don't cry, we escaped a catastrophe, even if it is a big fate, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future."
Lin Xiucai couldn't see Li Xiu's expression, but she didn't faint in fright, he was very relieved, otherwise his body might not have the strength to escape with someone on his back, maybe there was before the candle in the cave room, but after tossing for a night, he didn't want to move.
If you want to say how much he likes Li Xiu, there must be no, the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, anyway, he always has to get married, just choose one that both his father and his little sister like, he has always looked at the love between men and women very lightly.
After experiencing this, even if the two have shared joys and sorrows, they are dependent on each other in life and death, and they see the truth in adversity, Lin Xiucai can't help but feel a little more pity for the lady, and comforts her with kind words.
"Woo ......"
Li Xiu cried even more happily, she covered her face with her hands, and paused, "Husband, I didn't mean that, you said that we would wait here until dawn, but ...... It's just me ......"
After a long time, Li Xiu turned his heart sideways and said frankly, "That, I want to relieve ......"
Li Xiu's face was flushed, she couldn't wait to faint to death, she really couldn't hold it back, she was nervous and drank a lot of water, she endured it, the posture of the key husband and wife, her husband Lin Xiucai was being pressed under her, embarrassed.
Lin Xiucai's face darkened instantly, his chest hurt with anger, his face twitched, he almost foamed at the mouth, and he comforted himself for a long time before he decided not to meet Li Xiu's mallet, "You didn't say it to me." ”
Li Xiu blinked, forgetting to cry, what did her husband's words mean, could she pee, or couldn't? But she really can't stand it!
