"Yes, yes. The righteous brother's kung fu is the best, when the time comes, who bullies his father and mother and lets the eldest brother shoot him to death with an arrow! ”

"Really?" Chenxi choked up and refused to believe it, "Our father, our mother, are you really not dead?" ”

"No, no." Brother Ming slapped Peng Peng's chest loudly, "How powerful our father is, the pirates have killed dozens of them." Maybe I'm injured at this time, I don't know where to recuperate, let's go to the eldest brother first, we can't pull our father's hind legs. ”

Chenxi Xu believed this, and barely stopped her tears, and the two brothers were slightly relieved. But Liu Ergou on the side was so excited that he stumbled to the three children and knelt down, "You, are you the little master and young lady of the owner?" ”

Brother Qi and Brother Ming glanced at each other, and they were in a hurry to appease their sister, but they forgot to be on guard. But they thought about it and whispered, "Uncle Liu, it's not easy for us to reveal our identities now, so don't say it if you guess." We are leaving, if we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely come to my uncle's house to eat pig-killing dishes! ”

Liu Ergou was stunned when he heard this, then jumped up and exclaimed, "What the young master said is right, the official who saw the young master just now, if he is suspicious, it will be a bad thing." You have to hide first, I'm afraid it's dangerous to enter the city at this time! ”

As he spoke, he quickly extinguished the brazier and took the three children back to his house through the back door.

The Liu family had just killed the pig at this time, and the drum stick and sauerkraut were stewed in the cauldron, smelling the aroma. But Liu Ergou had no intention of eating and drinking, entertaining his neighbors. He rummaged through his son's three padded jackets, let them change them and hide them in the barn, and then went out with their new padded jackets.

Li Ergou's daughter-in-law happened to go to the treasury to get tea, and when she saw him like this, she asked, "What's the matter, why are you hiding in the warehouse if you don't invite guests out to eat?" ”

Liu Ergou whispered some words while pulling her out, and Liu Ergou's daughter-in-law changed and changed when she heard it, and finally rushed into the snow without even wearing a big jacket. Soon, the three eleven or twelve-year-old boys and girls were found, put on new cotton jackets and ran to the yard to play.

For some reason, the neighbors thought that Liu Ergou's daughter-in-law had changed the cotton clothes for the New Year for her nephew and daughter, and they laughed and joked a few words to help set the table and bench. Xu is to prove that Liu Ergou is rare to be wise and wise, and not long after the dinner table was set, the official who had been to the orchard before rushed over with three or four helpers.

The yard poured a lot of water because of the killing of pigs, and it was frozen shiny when the north wind blew. The official was so anxious that he didn't notice it, and as soon as he jumped down, he fell on his stomach. Happy to hear the sound and go out to see the excitement, everyone laughed. The official blushed with annoyance, and scolded loudly, "Liu Ergou, he ate the gall of the ambitious leopard, and actually harbored the prisoner, see if I don't arrest him and go to prison!" ”

Liu Ergou was about to go out of the door, but when he heard this, his face changed, and he said angrily, "Liu Zhutou, we respect you as an official on weekdays, and we have never lost our manners." Today, the family killed pigs, you came to have a glass of wine, we are all happy, why are you still shouting that you want to arrest me and go to jail? ”

"That's it, I'm afraid Liu Zhutou is drunk, come into the house and sit down for a while, sober up!" Many neighbors have been helping in the orchard for many years, and they have seen many nobles, and although they are respectful to a few officials, they are not too afraid, and they are smiling and smiling in the round, and they are about to invite a few officials to enter the door.

Liu Zhutou felt that he was faced, and became more and more annoyed, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Ergou and asked, "What about the three children you brought to the orchard earlier, hurry up and hand them over, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face!" ”

Liu Ergou was stunned when he heard this, frowned suspiciously, and finally turned around and shouted into the room, "Erya, dog, tie up, you come out!" ”

"Hey, what is my uncle doing, it's cold outside, and we haven't eaten meat yet!"

The three children complained and came out of the house, and Liu Zhutou carefully examined their clothes and appearances, and finally showed a hint of disappointment on his face.

Liu Ergou opened his mouth and asked, "Liu Zhutou, are you looking for these children?" ”

Liu Zhutou coughed dryly, naturally he couldn't say that he was anxious to curry favor with Shangguan and admit the wrong person. So he casually panicked, "There is an old man in the city who is married, and he wants to find a pair of boys and girls to be angry, and I just saw them following you, and I rushed to ask when I thought about it." ”

Liu Ergou didn't know whether he was unwilling to think about it, or he accepted this statement seriously, and waved his hand in response, "Thank you Liu Zhutou for your concern, but now that the family is having a better life, it is expensive to hold the child." Last year, Mr. Chen's family in the academy held a happy event to find the children in the village, but no one took this job. ”

The people next to him also responded, "Yes, this work is not a trivial matter, and it is not good to delay the child's luck!" ”

Several officials and errands all looked a little bad, Liu Ergou felt that the heat was almost over, so he hurriedly invited with a smile, "Liu Zhutou, the pig-killing dish has just been served on the table, you guys have a hard time, if you don't dislike it, go into the house and eat pork." It just so happens that there are two jars of osmanthus brew at home, and our peasant family can't drink any good taste. But Liu Zhutou helped Pinpin? ”

He said this politely, and it was noon, and several officials looked at each other and entered the house with a smile. Although the farmhouse's banquet is not as beautiful as the restaurant in the city, it is good that it is affordable. The big pot of drum sticks, the big pot of pig-killing vegetables, the big pot of broth, eat a few officials with round stomachs, and then pour a few large bowls of spirits, and almost climb up when you get into the carriage.

Liu Ergou was patient with his temper, and after sending a few more neighbors, he hurriedly ran to the cabin and released the three children. The two sons of the Liu family looked full of doubts, but Liu Ergou did not allow them to ask more, and only asked them to quickly put on the family carriage.

In order to avoid extraneous branches, Liu Ergou's daughter-in-law didn't dare to go to her brother's house to ask for the padded jacket back, so she gritted her teeth and opened the box, found the two sons and the new padded jacket she was going to wear for the New Year, waited for the three children to change, and let them eat some hot meals. The package was also stuffed with more than a dozen white-flour steamed buns, and then he sighed and sent them to the carriage.

How could the three of them not know how much risk this family had taken for them, and solemnly saluted and thanked them. Chen Ergou's daughter-in-law hurriedly avoided it, and before she could speak, her eyes were already red.

"Our family, and even the entire village, have received great favor from the owner, otherwise how could we have a good life today. It's a pity that we're all a bunch of mud legs, and we can't help even if we know that someone is bullying the owner. ”

"Alright, alright." Liu Ergou pulled his daughter-in-law and persuaded him in a low voice, "Don't talk about it, it's better to send the young master away quickly." Tomorrow, Liu Zhutou's few sobered up, and I don't know if they will come to check it again. ”

"Yes, yes, let's go, there will always be a time to see you again." Liu Ergou's daughter-in-law stretched out her hand to help Chenxi get into the car first, and then asked her two sons to help their father catch the car.

After being busy for so long, the sky has already darkened, but fortunately, the snow is bright everywhere, and the mountain road has been paved with bluestone many years ago, which is not difficult to walk. The carriage did not dare to run too fast, for fear that someone would be suspicious when they heard the sound, but would provoke their eyes.

After a long night, the carriage finally arrived at a place called Qingyang Town, and it happened that a convoy was going out to rush to the military city, Liu Ergou was overjoyed, stepped forward to say something, and promised five taels of silver before finally sending the three children to the other party's carriage. The three brothers and sisters of Chenxi were very grateful in their hearts, but because outsiders were not present, they had to keep it in their hearts, thinking that they would definitely repay it in the future.

Liu Ergou went back to Qingxian County with his two sons, found a grocery store and bought some oil and salt and other daily necessities and returned to his home, thinking that there would be an excuse in case he met Liu Zhutou again. Xu is Liu Zhutou was completely suspicious, but he didn't kill another horse pistol today, and the family was relieved.

didn't mention how the Liu family was, and didn't say that the three children went straight to the military city, only that Dong Rong got up early and rushed to the carriage and horse shop, but it was very easy to catch a convoy going north. First, she pretended to be a young junior, healthy and healthy, without taking care of her, and she could help when something happened. Second, the money he gave for food and lodging was also rich, so as soon as the sun rose in the sky, she sat in a carriage full of boxes and left Binzhou City.

Seeing that it will be more than a month and the New Year, both the shopkeeper and the young man in the team are in a hurry to rush home, so while laughing and laughing along the way, it is not slow to hurry. By the time they stopped to rest at noon, they were already more than 50 miles away from Debinzhou.

Dong Rong relieved herself a little, took the dry biscuit handed over by a young man, and gossiped with him while eating. The young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he had transported goods back and forth with the caravan no less than ten times, and this time because of his clever behavior, he got a piece of silver, and he secretly found a silver building to exchange for a carved hairpin, and planned to give it to his daughter-in-law who had not passed the door.

Xu was too excited to bring a gift to his daughter-in-law for the first time, and he was afraid that the familiar guys in the team would leak out when they went back, so he took it out to show off with Dong Rong, a partner.

Dong Rong has enjoyed all the glory and wealth for so many years, and has seen countless precious jewelry, but in fact, she can't look down on this ordinary silver hairpin, but she is very envious of the owner of this hairpin.

It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover. Thinking about her husband who doesn't know life and death, she would rather use all her strength to exchange him for safety, even if she starts from scratch, even if she eats cakes and drinks cold water, as long as they stay together, she is not afraid of anything. Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable!

The young man was originally showing off, but when he turned his head, he saw that Dong Rong's face was a little sad, and he remembered the excuse she had made to join her family, so he patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "Okay, Brother Cao, you will definitely go along with your relatives when you go to join your family, and when the time comes, it will be easy to work for two more years and marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Dong Rong couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, but she also accepted his kindness, and when she was about to say thank you, she heard the sound of horses' hooves on the road in the distance. She subconsciously stood up and looked around, only to see that the figures on the horses seemed to be some strong men, so she shivered and gritted her teeth in her heart, "It's not good, I'm afraid it's someone from Maitreya!" ”R638
