Chapter 385:-for-tat
Huang Yuan looked at Fang Huofeng and asked softly, "Are you sad?" ”
Without waiting for her to answer, he added, "I'm sad too." But I can't care about you. Right now I'm in a mess and I'm worried about the cuckoo. Let's fight together. ”
Fang Huofeng nodded violently, and said busily: "I'll accompany you." ”
Seeing him looking at himself, he said eagerly: "I can hold it!" ”
She tried to tear her eyes, not daring to show her sadness.
As everyone knows, Huang Yuan didn't care about these at all, and said tiredly: "You cook with Hong Ling, the eldest sister is taking care of her mother, and she is a little unwell; The oriole hasn't come back yet, and I'm worried......"
Fang Huofeng's throat was hot, and he said hoarsely: "I know." ”
He bowed his head as he spoke, afraid that he would see the tears rolling down.
Huang Yuan nodded, let her go out first, he wanted to be quiet.
Fang Huofeng quietly withdrew.
After she left, Huang Yuan walked into the bedroom and called "Xiaoshun." ”
Xiao Shun hurriedly walked out from behind the bed, "Second brother." ”
Huang Yuan looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to think.
After a while, he approached him and whispered: "Go back and tell your father, just say what I said, the village has been in chaos recently, simply clean up, and quietly go to your grandmother's house in Lishugou to live for a few days." Remember, go at night and don't alarm people. Also, bring a few fewer books. ”
Xiao Shun was terrified when he heard this, and looked at him a little overwhelmed.
Huang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go!" Don't worry about home. ”
Xiaoshun had no choice but to nod, wanting to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.
He didn't understand much of those things when he heard them.
Huang Yuan said again: "I'll leave when you see how many people are unprepared." ”
Xiao Shun hurriedly agreed, and seeing that he had no more words, he sat down to read a book for the time being.
After Huang Yuan settled him. I went to the upper room again.
Feng stayed in the easternmost house of the upper room last night, which is next door to the boudoir of the Huang sisters. It's not next to each other. When the officers and soldiers came and went to return to Zhan in vain, they could not disturb her.
But she couldn't hear it. How can you have peace of mind!
No, as soon as Huang Yuan entered, she asked, "Huang Li hasn't come back yet?" ”
She has been crooked on the bed, and Huang Que sits in front of the bed and does needlework with her.
Huang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, took her hand and whispered, "Little sister is very clever." She may have found the cuckoo, but she didn't dare to come back, for fear of punishment from the officers and soldiers, so she simply went with the cuckoo. Not coming back. That's fine. ”
The cuckoo never came back, and the yellow bird was nowhere to be seen, so he was not sad but happy.
He knows very well what his sisters are doing. To put it mildly, he would rather they not come back. They are like fish in the mountains; If he comes back, it will be dangerous, and he will be easily constrained.
Huang Que'er whispered: "Mother, my brother is right. Huang Li always ran on the mountain. It's ghostly and clever, much more capable than me, and not afraid. ”
Feng Shi thought about the clever appearance of the little girl, and felt a lot more at ease.
Because of the mention of cuckoos. I couldn't help but shed tears again.
Huang Yuan comforted her, and asked Huang Qi'er how Aunt Huang Qi'er was doing. Feng Mingying's mother and son were locked up at home, except for the prospective daughter's relatives to visit. The rest are not allowed to enter. Huang Que'er said that it was okay, she was not tied up and was not bullied. It's just not allowed to go out.
Huang Yuan was relieved after hearing this.
At this moment, I heard the voice of Lin Dameng talking outside. He hurriedly got up and instructed his mother and sister, "I'll go out first." Just stay in the house and don't go out, so that you don't get noticed. ”
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.
In the courtyard, Lin Dameng was kneeling in front of Zhan Xu, saying that he only came back in the middle of the night last year, and he had already heard from his father about the intention of the officers and soldiers, and he was afraid of disturbing, so he came to meet the commander at this time.
Zan looked him up and down vainly, and saw that he was a mighty man with very good manners. Combined with the news obtained, he knew that he had always been good friends with Ren Sanhe, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart. However, there was no show on his face, and he motioned for him to get up and talk back.
At this time, Huang Yuan also came and stood aside.
When he saw him, he was angry; Seeing that Fang Huofeng and Hong Ling were busy in and out of the kitchen, they were angry; Moreover, yesterday he ordered his subordinates to announce the identity of the cuckoo prisoner to the villagers and offer a reward for his arrest, but no one responded to him, which made him feel even more incredible-aren't all the ordinary people in the market greedy and cowardly?
He suppressed his anger and quietly let Lin Dameng pick up the cuckoo by the Feng family, as well as the process of Ren Sanhe coming to Quanshui Village to settle down in detail.
He was tempting him!
Lin Dameng didn't even pause, and immediately started from the beginning.
There is nothing to hide, and there is nothing to hide.
"You said that the yellow cuckoo can draw a statue of the fish lady at the age of two? You've all seen it with your own eyes? There was a puzzled look in his eyes.
"A lot of people have seen it." Lin Dameng replied respectfully.
Zan was silent and silent, but there were monstrous waves in his heart.
For some reason, this ancient village gave him a very unusual feeling.
On the surface, it's peaceful and beautiful, almost like a paradise. It was all this hour, and the mist in the valley had not yet lifted, and wisps of it were wafting between the houses and trees. The walls and doorways of the Huang's courtyard are completely covered with green vines, full of leisurely wildness, but full of poetry.
Yesterday, when the officers and soldiers entered the village, the eyes of the villagers were full of fear and timidity, but today there was no hair in front of the Huang family and the Lin family. Everyone was busy as usual, but they all took a detour back and forth, and they didn't pass in front of the Huang family at all.
After being silent for a while, he said in a deep voice: "You are the head of the village, and it is your duty to cooperate with the government to arrest criminals." The yellow cuckoo hid deep in the mountains and disappeared, so the official ordered you to select the capable hunters in the village to accompany the officers and soldiers into the mountains to search for the yellow cuckoo. ”
Lin Dameng raised his eyes to look at him directly, his face full of shock.
Zan said vainly: "Why, you dare to disobey?" ”
Lin Dameng knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Ask the adults to bypass the small people!" ”
He asked, "Why is that?" ”
Lin Dameng raised his head and said: "My lord, Huang Cuckoo is the daughter of a villain, she has always been filial, and everyone in the village praises her." The villain didn't know where she came from, and he didn't know what crime she had committed, and the government wanted to arrest her, but the villain didn't dare to stop her or protect her; However, if the villain wants to catch her in person, then it must not! The villain is afraid that the fish lady will blame. The conscience is also not at ease. ”
Zan vainly listened to him carry out the fish girl, and his eyes froze.
At this time, Huang Yuan asked, "My lord." What crime did the cuckoo commit? ”
Zan said vain and sternly: "This matter is confidential! Even the official doesn't know, how can he tell you little people! ”
Huang Yuan also replied solemnly: "That's right! Since the matter is confidential. The documents issued by the government did not list his crimes, and the imperial court did not hesitate to mobilize the forbidden army into the mountains, which meant to be cautious and unassuming. This is the duty of the adult, how can the adult let the people of Quanshui Village go into the mountain to arrest him? How did the adult Jean Lin Lizheng tell the people of Quanshui Village: Huang Dujuan, who is only fifteen years old and grew up in the mountains, is unforgivable? Will the adults kill them all afterwards? What is the reason for the immortal mouth to block the mouths of the people? ”
Lin Dameng lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Zhan's vain and embarrassed face.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled: "Brother Huang Xian is really talented, and he is worthy of being a young talent. Are you going to fight to the end? ”
Huang Yuandao: "Confrontation? What do we do against the officers and soldiers? ”
He waved his hand at the officers and soldiers inside and outside the courtyard, and pointed to the next door. He asked loudly: "There are so many forbidden troops, all of whom live in the homes of the people, and they are so disturbed that the chickens and dogs are jumping. Didn't they come out to do tolerance, they came to enjoy the scenery? My Dajing military discipline has always been strict, and I am not allowed to disturb the people, I don't know how Lord Zan wants to explain this? The fields in this mountain are limited, and the grain produced is also limited, and hundreds of officers and soldiers have been harassing here for many days, waiting for them to leave. What do the people live by? Even if Lord Zan doesn't care about us, he must also care about Governor Zan's prestige in Jingzhou Mansion! ”
Zhan Xuan was angered by him again, and the blood rushed to the top of his head.
This time, though, he wasn't reckless.
It can be big or small. In addition to Huang Yuan, the Lin family also has a Lin Chun in Jingzhou Academy, and he really has to worry about the reputation of the Zan family in Jingzhou; And also. He couldn't ignore his sister-Fang Huofeng had been standing under the eaves of the porch and listening for a long time, with an anxious look on his face. Just about to come over. Of course, he would not be coerced by Huang Yuan, but he left. How does my sister survive in Quanshui Village? Didn't he come here to support her!
So he chuckled and said, "Brother Huang Xian is so anxious, so he asked for the people's life?" How do you know that I am a nuisance and will not make amends? ”
Huang Yuan asked mockingly, "Lord Zan will really make amends?" ”
Fang Huofeng walked over and said categorically: "It must be compensated!" The Zan family is a big family, how can they give someone a handle on such a trivial matter! If it is known, the imperial history of the DPRK and China will definitely be impeached. ”
She was already emaciated, but her mind was becoming clearer.
Zan said in a vain and cold voice: "Why do you need to say this! This official never does such stupid things. ”
Immediately called an officer and soldier and instructed him to give the silver taels to the banker, together with the next half a month's advance.
When Huang Yuan and Lin Dameng heard "half a month", their faces became ugly.
The officer and soldier hugged their fists, turned around and entered the west chamber of the Huang family.
In the blink of an eye, another cloth bag came out, and several officers and soldiers followed behind.
Zan Xuan called them again, and first said to Lin Dameng: "It is not easy to enter and exit this mountain, and the officers and soldiers cannot carry grain and grass, so the official only brought silver taels, that is, to get grain on the spot." In order to show justice, please Li Zheng and Huang Xiandi go over to testify. ”
When Lin Dameng heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him for the whole of the people of Quanshui Village.
He couldn't help but admire Huang Yuan in his heart, and secretly said that the mouth of the reader is poisonous.
Huang Yuan didn't have a trace of joy, and followed them out of the courtyard with an expressionless face.
After they left, Zan turned to Fang Huofeng in vain, "Are you a ghost who is confused?" He treats you like this, he simply treats you like a girl, and you are still so desperate? ”
Fang Huofeng said with a blank expression: "Brother is referring to me cooking rice with Hongling, right?" This is to ask my brother: if my brother doesn't bring someone to catch the cuckoo, the yellow bird will not enter the mountain, although she is small, she can do housework neatly; If my brother doesn't come, Aunt Huang won't be shocked, and there are many daughters-in-law in the countryside who hoe the land when they give birth; Now the family is panicking, and there are still so many officers and soldiers, we don't do housework, who does? ”
He was speechless.
Fang Huofeng said again: "If you hadn't locked up Ren Sanhe's wife and children, she would have come to help." If you're not here to arrest people, but to be a guest, everyone will come and help cook and entertain you......"
As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Zan said angrily: "I'm just doing what I'm told. (To be continued......)
