Chapter Eighty-Five: Return to the Capital Again

Zhao Ruoxin and Xiaocui took advantage of the night to go out of Guanshan Town, originally extremely worried about the battle situation between You Xiaojiang and Yinzhou, but then they thought of the conversation between Du Shiyuan and Li Yong before.

At this time, I am afraid that there are many checkpoints within a radius of 100 miles from the capital, and Li Yong and Du Shiyuan rebelled and secretly made preparations, which will definitely not be as simple as she sees.

The news that the people in their room escaped will be found at most about an hour, and in such a short time, even if she goes all the way to the west, she will definitely not be able to get out of Yuding Prefecture, and if she goes west, she will only fall into the hands of Li Yong in the end.

After thinking about it a few times, taking advantage of the night, Zhao Ruoxin could only go back to the capital in the end.

Along the way, the grass on both sides of the official road was full of fine crushing sounds, under a piece of silver moonlight, you can clearly see that many big trees have been a dead branch fiasco, not only because of the drought, but also because of the locusts have been so many that they have begun to eat leaves, it seems that the climate is earlier than in the south, and the locust plague must have already broken out.

"Hey~"

Zhao Ruoxin sighed helplessly, the last thing she wanted to see still happened.

Xiaocui followed her closely, she saw Zhao Ruoxin's efforts during this time, and knew what Zhao Ruoxin was worried about at this time, this thing that even Zhao Ruoxin couldn't stop, she thought about it for a while, and finally didn't say anything, just stared at her with a pair of eyes stunned, and her eyes were full of worry.

The night was blank, passing through a few woods and over a few mountain packs. The sky is gradually starting to turn white, and it seems that it will not be long before the sky will be bright.

The field of vision began to widen, and the sound of Da Da came from a distance from a moment to a moment, Zhao Ruoxin was still walking quickly, Xiao Cui suddenly danced excitedly and said: "Ruoxin, you see that there are people in the wheat field over there who are harvesting grain!" ”

Zhao Ruoxin looked for the sound, and in the wheat field under the morning light, there were indeed tenant farmers harvesting their own grain in a remote wheat field.

Judging by their appearance, they should have come out a long time ago.

Zhao Ruoxin's eyesight is much better than Xiao Cui's, staring at it. I saw that the tenant farmers who were harvesting the wheat were all weeping and mourning. The eyes can see ≡dǐng≡diǎn≡小≡ said,.◇.o≥s_(); Faint tears.

"Hey~"

Zhao Ruoxin sighed again, she knew that at this time, letting the tenant farmers harvest grain was no different from cutting their meat, no matter in this era. Or before the crossing. Farmer. In the face of natural disasters**, it is always the most vulnerable type.

"Ruoxin, why sigh. Haven't you always wanted the people to harvest the grain as soon as possible? Why are you still not happy to see that the people themselves have already started to harvest food?"

Xiaocui asked in a low voice, and followed Zhao Ruoxin again, the title has changed from master, young master, and miss, and finally became Ruoxin at Zhao Ruoxin's insistence.

In Zhao Ruoxin's words: "Actually, I was originally a maid, you and You Xiaojiang Lao called me like this, I always feel weird in my heart, friend, we will be good friends in the future, there is no difference between master and servant"

Zhao Ruoxin's eyes became thick with sadness, and before she could answer Xiaocui's question in a hurry, suddenly, someone in the wheat field threw away the sickle in her hand like crazy, and sat on the ridge of the field and howled dejectedly: "Dad, the child really can't do it, ten days, at most ten days will be all ripe, we have worked hard for so long, this season the dealer will be all in vain, just this diǎn harvest, even the rent to pay the dealer is not enough"

In the undulating wheat field stood a thin man of about fifty years of age, probably because of his years of hard work, and his appearance looked much older than his real age, and his back was very hunched.

The man looked back at his own children on the ridge, and said helplessly: "Son, look at the locusts in this wheat field, there are more and more locusts day by day, just like this, wait for another ten days, will our grain still have a harvest?" At this time, can you collect a diǎn is a diǎn, right? ”

The man sitting on the ridge of the field was dissatisfied: "Dad, you went to Puhe Mountain yesterday, and when you came back, you shouted to collect grain, such a big thing, the official family has not yet told everyone, I said you, I just believe that Jing Zhaoyin, who has been deposed by the emperor, I think you treat him as a god, if he is really so powerful, how can the emperor dismiss him."

"Smack"

The man with his back in the wheat field stepped forward and slapped the man who complained about Zhao Ruoxin, and scolded: "You little rabbit cub, what do you know, your father and I have crossed more bridges than you walked, who is not dedicated to the good of our people, I can't see your father stumped, tell you, if it weren't for Lord Shao's water transport device, our wheat field would have become wheat straw a long time ago, where is your grain harvest, besides, you go to Puhe Mountain to inquire, Lord Shao obviously knew that a locust plague would occur a long time ago, even if he had been dismissed, he personally went to the bank of the Darong River to ask everyone to collect food, and personally made fried grasshoppers to eat for everyone to see, you say, if it weren't for us, everyone was put in the official position by the emperor and went to the bank of the Darong River to do these thankless things?

Hmph, hurry up for Lao Tzu to get up and cut wheat, and then dare to say that Lord Shao is not, see that I don't break your legs"

"Hmph" The man on the ridge muttered, reluctantly stood up again to harvest the wheat, and said without a word: "Dad, if I didn't say you, you shouldn't have gone to Puhe Mountain at all."

"Why?"

"Why? I fell for Lord Shao's evil, do you think I don't know, the people on the other side of Puhe Mountain now regard Lord Shao as a god, and they have begun to harvest grain three days ago, and there are a large number of people who have nothing to do all day long, and they don't even turn over the ground after harvesting the grain, and they catch locusts everywhere all day long, and they say that that thing can be eaten as food, and they eat locusts, I want to vomit when I think about it."

"I see that your skin is itchy again, hurry up and collect the grain, and after the grain is harvested, our family will all come out to catch locusts"

"Dad, can you stop for a while, just spare me, anyway, I won't follow you out to catch insects, it's a shame to think about it"

"Ahh Dad, why are you beating me again?"

The two fathers and sons, complaining and fighting in the wheat field, came to Zhao Ruoxin's ears, and a faint smile finally appeared on her face, and the anxiety and uneasiness that had existed during this period of time gradually calmed down under the infection of the simple life of this pair of tenant farmers who loved father and son.

She knew that the reason why the people on the other side of Puhe Mountain harvested the grain in advance must have been because someone knew that there was a locust plague in the south, and the reason why people remembered her was because they had said it somewhere, but unfortunately, no one believed it when she said it.

Pulling Xiaocui's sleeve, the two continued on the road, and after a few steps, the sky had already brightened.

Approaching the capital, passing by the green bamboo forest where You Xiaojiang used to work as a dishwasher in the western suburbs, the big locust tree with a crooked neck is still there, but the locust flowers have long been gone, and the old tree is still flourishing, but I never saw the tea shop owner who was missing four teeth.

Walking further, the sun had already climbed over the city walls, and in the golden sunlight, a solemn and majestic city wall appeared in front of her.

Zhao Ruoxin stopped and stared, the thoughts in her mind turned a thousand times, Xiao Cui stood side by side beside her, and the two slender figures pulled out a long shadow under the morning light.

In the face of this majestic city, both of them had mixed feelings in their hearts at the same time, each thinking about their own things.

I don't know how long it took, a black shadow flashed in front of her, and Zhao Ruoxin felt that a furry thing was rubbing and rubbing under her feet, so she was not happy.

When she came back to her senses, she smiled happily again on her face, and said very gently: "Black Tiger, it turns out that you are, why are you here?" Why didn't you follow the old man's family back to the Northern Desert, do you know that I am coming back to meet me here? ”

"Woohoo"

The black tiger whined, and a half-human-tall big black dog was as docile as a kitten and kept circling around her, and the way it shook its head and tail was ridiculous!
