Chapter Ninety-Six: A Strange Village

Xiahou Yuchen smiled a little embarrassedly, turned around and said: "Uncle He, I don't mean this, it's because I haven't seen my father for a long time, don't be angry when you're happy." ”

Xiahou Yuchen also realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly apologized.

Thyme knew that Shopkeeper He was just laughing and deliberately teasing Xiahou Yuchen, but she just smiled and touched Xiahou Yuchen's head.

I haven't seen him for more than two months, and Xiahou Yuchen seems to have grown a little taller, and his body seems to be much better than before.

Xiahou Yuchen turned his head and looked at Thyme and said seriously: "Dad, let's go!" ”

Thyme smiled slightly, looked at Shopkeeper He and said gratefully, "Thank you Shopkeeper He for taking care of him during this time." ”

Shopkeeper He was a little reluctant in his heart: "You're welcome, take good care of yourself, if you want to come back, Zhixintang has always welcomed you." ”

Thyme left with Chen'er, even though she was a little reluctant, she still gritted her teeth and left directly.

Baili Aoyun inside the carriage kept lifting the curtain and looking outside.

Seeing Xiahou Yuchen get into the carriage, he lowered the curtains.

Xiahou Yuchen didn't expect that there were outsiders in the carriage, and he glanced back at thyme a little uncomfortably.

"Daddy......."

Xiahou Yuchen wanted to ask who the people in the carriage were.

Thyme also got into the carriage, and the inside of the carriage, which was not wide, seemed a little crowded.

"Go up and talk about it, Chen'er." After Thyme finished speaking, she glanced back at the shopkeeper He who was still standing at the door, and couldn't help but wave her hand to say goodbye again.

The curtain was lowered, and the carriage headed straight out of the city.

"Daddy......." Xiahou Yuchen was a little unaccustomed to sitting beside Baili Aoyun. I always feel a little uncomfortable.

Thyme touched Xiahou Yuchen's head with a smile and said, "This is your uncle." ”

There are many places in the same place as the name of Southern Xia.

Xiahou Yuchen looked at Baili Aoyun blankly, and always felt a little unconvinced, you must know that for so many years, Xiahou Yuchen had never heard Baili Aoyun say anything about her mother's family.

Seeing the suspicion in Xiahou Yuchen's eyes, Baili Aoyun stretched out his hand and touched Xiahou Yuchen's head like thyme: "Don't doubt it, silly boy, I am your mother's brother, or my brother, this time I am here to take you to see your grandparents." ”

Xiahou Yuchen glanced at Thyme inquiringly, only to see Thyme nodding firmly, Xiahou Yuchen believed Baili Aoyun's words.

"Uncle, why did you come to me and my mother now?"

Xiahou Yuchen felt a little aggrieved. You must know that they have suffered so much for so many years. But none of the relatives came out to care for them.

It is inevitable that there will be some complaints in my heart.

Thyme felt Xiahou Yuchen's slight mood swings, and gently hugged Xiahou Yuchen in his arms and said: "Chen'er, no matter how many grievances we have suffered over the years, you must remember that this matter has nothing to do with anyone, and you must not complain in your heart." Because it's not right for you to think like that. ”

Be grateful. Instead of blaming others everywhere. Destiny is fought for on its own.

Xiahou Yuchen also knew that he was wrong, lowered his head and said with some self-reproach: "Mother is Chen'er wrong." ”

Knowing that mistakes can be improved, Thyme was very pleased to hug Xiahou Yuchen and continued: "Chen'er Niang is really relieved to have a child like you. You must be obedient, obediently go to your grandmother's place, and listen to your grandmother and grandfather, don't be naughty, you know? ”

Thyme wanted to give Xiahou Yuchen a preventive shot as soon as possible, the child's heart became very fast, and he didn't know what would happen when he went to Baili's house, so he always had to prevent it in advance.

Xiahou Yuchen nodded sensibly: "Chen'er knows, Chen'er will be obedient, please rest assured." ”

Since Baili Aoyun is Thyme's brother, then Thyme is a woman's identity Baili Aoyun also knows that Xiahou Yuchen does not call Thyme his father, but directly calls him his mother.

This time he didn't take anything with him when he left Xiahou Yuchen, when he went to Shopkeeper He, he was empty-handed, and now he is embarrassed to leave Xiahou Yuchen and take it away.

So on the way, Thyme bought a lot of daily necessities and clothes for Xiahou Yuchen.

Baili's family lives at the junction of the two countries, but because of the location, there are not many businessmen passing by.

And in the town, the people who live the most are the people of the Baili family.

The carriage kept hurrying on and on, and in the evening it came to a small village.

Thyme changed back into women's clothes, so it is more convenient to walk on the road with Baili Aoyun, it is more normal for a man and a woman to take a child than for two older men to take a child.

It was already evening, and in the distance towards the village, you could still see the smoke rising from the village.

The smoky picture contrasts with the quiet village, creating a dynamic landscape painting.

"The village is beautiful."

Thyme looked at the village not far away and sighed with some emotion.

Baili Aoyun's face changed, he had been to this village before, but today always gave him a feeling that something was wrong.

"This village is called Wujiazhuang, and I have stayed here before, and I have to pass by here to go home, but today I always feel that something is wrong here."

Baili Aoyun sensed that something was wrong, but there was a feeling that something couldn't say was coming from there.

Chen'er, who was standing on the side, frowned and said: "It's the cooking smoke that is wrong, you see that the cooking smoke only rises in a few households at the head of the village, but there is no trace of cooking smoke in the village and at the end of the village, which is really a bit abnormal." ”

Chen'er's highlights are different from those of the two adults. It is precisely because of the different points of view that it is easy to find problems that adults can't find.

Thyme frowned a little worriedly: "It's indeed a little abnormal, this time the village is supposed to cook, even if there is a gap in time, it is not as obvious as now, should we spend one night in the forest outside the village?" ”

Thyme is the one who is worried about the three princes, although Baili Aoyun has said so many things about the Baili family, but Thyme is still worried that the three princes will not give up, you must know that this time the people of the three princes have suffered heavy losses, and they have lost the war.

The reason why the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, Thyme understood.

Baili Aoyun couldn't help frowning, and said half-loudly: "There are wild boars in the forests near here, if we live in the forest, I'm worried that we will encounter danger, let's go into the village!" Be careful, nothing will happen. ”

Baili Aoyun was thinking, whether it was the Third Prince or Xiahou Chun, it was impossible for him to be so bold, and the majesty of the Baili family Baili Aoyun had never doubted it.

Thyme was still hesitant.

Looking at the worry on Thyme's face, Baili Aoyun couldn't help but continue: "The weather hasn't been very good recently, the humidity outside is heavy, we have to hurry, what if you and Chen'er get sick, how about it, let's go to the family at the head of the village, I have stayed overnight in that family before, and the people are very good." ”

Seeing that Baili Aoyun said this, Baili Aoyun had no choice but to nod, but the worry in her heart did not dissipate.

The carriage stopped outside the village, and Baili Xiang took Xiahou Yuchen and Baili Aoyun into the village.

Baili Aoyun walked directly to the door of the first family at the entrance of the village and knocked on the door.

This is probably because everyone has returned home, and there are no pedestrians on the roads in the village.

The empty village road always looks a little bleak.

After knocking on the door three times, Baili Aoyun stopped knocking on the door and waited patiently at the door, and Baili Xiang also pulled Chen'er to stand behind Baili Aoyun.

After a long while, I heard a voice in the courtyard.

Then the door opened.

The person who opened the door was obviously a little guarded, and the door was only open a crack, and the person who opened the door only showed half of his face and looked outside.

"Who are you? What's the matter? ”

The person who opened the door heard an old woman.

Thyme stretched out her head and glanced at it, but saw that the old woman was winking at Baili Aoyun, as if she was telling Baili Aoyun to go.

Baili Aoyun didn't notice this detail.

"Auntie, you don't know me anymore, I stayed at your house some time ago."

Baili Aoyun frowned, and he also felt that something was wrong in his heart, and the woman's abnormal performance seemed to Baili Aoyun only because the woman was highly guarded.

The woman's voice suddenly lifted up and said, "Who are you?" Our family never takes in people passing by, so if you spend the night in the village, go to someone else's house in the village and ask them. ”

And when she had finished speaking, the door was to be closed.

Baili Aoyun was bent on staying overnight, and was about to raise his hand to block the door to be closed, Baili Aoyun stretched out her hand and patted Baili Aoyun's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's go to another house to ask, I didn't remember staying at this house last time." ”

Chen'er also said at this time: "Yes, yes, uncle, I remember last time that it wasn't this family, it seems to be in the village, and I still remember that the door of that family was pasted with an inverted blessing word." ”

Baili Aoyun sighed and nodded: "Let's go to another house and ask." ”

The woman was visibly relieved to hear this, and closed the door without hesitation.

Seeing that the door was closed, Thyme immediately whispered, "Let's get out of here, there's something wrong with this village." ”

Thyme said and was already walking towards the entrance of the village.

Baili Aoyun hurriedly followed, and only after walking a long distance did Baili Aoyun speak.

"What's wrong, tell me about it." Baili Aoyun just felt that the woman's attitude was a little wrong compared to the last time.

I didn't think anything else.

Thyme stopped, looked at the village and said worriedly: "That woman kept giving you a look to leave, because you didn't pay attention, and when the woman said she didn't know you just now, she deliberately raised her voice to get your attention, it's my brother, you don't observe carefully, I think there must be someone else behind that woman." ”

Thyme's conjecture is absolutely correct.

When Baili Aoyun heard this, he became even more curious.

At this time, Chen'er suddenly said: "I saw a man's leg behind the woman, and it should be the man standing behind the woman." (To be continued......)
