"Young Master! Master! Oh no! It's on fire! The horse farm is on fire! The man didn't wait for the horse to stop and stand firm, and jumped down and went straight to the house.

Liu Yao heard the shout, and the spoon in his hand fell directly into the bowl, and exclaimed, "What? ”

Lai Xing put his hands on his knees and panted repeatedly, and when he heard the young master's question, he still tried his best to slow down and replied in a clear tone: "There are arson people in more than a dozen horse farms in the county, and the young lady has rushed to put out the fire, let the young master go back quickly!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yao hurriedly said to the frightened old lady and aunt beside him: "Grandma, auntie, I'll go back first, don't worry, it'll be fine!" After speaking, Liu Yao walked quickly towards the gate, waiting to get out of the small courtyard, and the people in the house couldn't see it, so he lifted his feet and ran directly.

Liu Yao's heart had already set off a storm at this time, and a fire suddenly broke out around Kyoto, no matter what the reason, he would definitely follow the county order. There are also many rich and noble families in the suburbs of Beijing, and if something happens, they may even implicate the family.

Liu Yao was anxious, thinking that Sister Xi actually ran to fight the fire, if something happened, what would he do?

The group walked through the city, ran out of the city and went straight to Hongxing County with low cursing.

Hongxing County.

The old lady went to live at the uncle's house, and the father-in-law Liu Erye rushed to Weicheng, the Liu family's home, to prepare for the little star to enter the family tree.

There are no elders in the family, so Du Xiaoxi slept directly until dawn before getting up with his son.

As in the past, let the cook make a delicious breakfast first, and hold my son to eat one bite at a time. Waiting for the climbing skills to explode, even if they are wrapped in a ball of thick cotton jackets, the little stars who still crawl around explore the world.

"Little Star comes to drink water!"

Du Xiaoxi held the bamboo cup exclusive to the little star, chased after the little star, and begged the little ancestor to drink water.

The little star has teeth, and a saliva kiss will definitely leave a watermark on you. Du Xiaoxi didn't know how to clean the baby's teeth, so he asked many people. Du Niang was very surprised in her reply, and told Du Xiaoxi not to care, when the child was teething, he often chirped and drooled, and he cleaned it up. The more famous nurses near Kyoto can't say why. Du Xiaoxi could only give Xiaoxing a lot of warm water.

"Sheep! Sheep! Little Star shouted and Du Xiaoxi dragged the rabbit puppet's long ears and crawled over.

"It's a mother! Mother! ”

"Sheep! Sheep! ”

"Mother! Mother! Daddy and Mommy! ”

Xiaoxing bared his pink gums and grabbed Du Xiaoxi's legs and called repeatedly, Du Xiaoxi stretched out the cup with a reed tube, and Xiaoxing immediately turned his head to indicate that the master did not drink.

"Mother put the candy, sweet, little star taste it." Du Xiaoxi continued to coax.

Xiaoxing looked at Du Xiaoxi, who had a criminal record, a little suspiciously, tentatively opened his mouth and took a sip, drank the boiled water and spit it out directly aggrievedly, and looked at Du Xiaoxi with big eyes dyed with water.

Du Xiaoxi pretended not to see it, grabbed the reed pipe and deliberately took a few sips, and Xiaoxing saw it and rushed up to drink it.

"It's so good, drink and play with my mother to take you to play on the swing, it's fun to be yo-yo." Seeing that he had almost drunk it, Du Xiaoxi hurriedly gave the jujube.

Xiaoxing likes to be held by his father and mother to play on the swing, and when he heard Du Xiaoxi say this, he hurriedly spit out the reed pipe and pulled Du Xiaoxi's skirt horn and screamed.

"What a hurry! Walk! Mother, I'll take you there. Let's go! Remote! ”

The little star screamed and was hugged by Du Xiaoxi and walked out.

"Ahh Du Xiaoxi tilted his head and sneezed, Xiaoxing thought that his mother was playing with him, and immediately urged Du Xiaoxi to come again.

"Why is it so smoky?" Du Xiaoxi asked casually.

Fangcao, who was following next to her, listened, "It should be whose house is burning something, the young lady should wait and take the little young master to the yard to play." ”

Du Xiaoxi felt that the smell of smoke in the air was getting bigger and bigger, and frowned and hugged Xiaoxing to go back to the house.

"Sheep?" Xiaoxing shouted puzzledly, seeing that Du Xiaoxi still walked back and stretched out his hand and cried.

"Oh! Oh! Little Star is good, let's go later, and when your father comes back, let's go together, okay? ”

Howling twice, seeing that his mother was unmoved, Xiaoxing nested in Du Xiaoxi's arms aggrievedly and pouted and hummed. But when Fangcao came over with a bowl of steamed buns, he immediately grabbed Du Xiaoxi's leg expectantly and waited to feed it.

Little Star has started to eat complementary food, and now his favorite food is steamed buns. The freshly steamed steamed buns are hot, whirring, soft, torn into small pieces and soaked in the soup, and the little star can eat a small half bowl.

After autumn, every household drank mutton soup to warm up, and Xiaoxing's original egg drop soup also became mutton soup. The mutton soup is more fragrant than the egg drop soup, and the little star loves to drink it every time he smells it, pestering people to feed it. Du Xiaoxi was afraid that he would eat too much and rarely let him drink, so today he was so generous that Xiaoxing naturally forgot the swing he had promised before, and happily opened his mouth and waited to be fed.

Waiting for Xiaoxing to finish eating, he soon squinted his eyes and fell asleep, Du Xiaoxi carried him back to the bed and carefully took off his cotton clothes and pants to cover the quilt. Seeing that Little Star was already asleep, he ordered the kitchen to make lunch, picked up the sewing basket and began to make little gloves for Little Star.

Du Xiaoxi wrinkled uncomfortably and rubbed his nose, the smell of smoke became bigger and bigger, and there was a tear-jerking feeling of burning straw in his previous life.

The big merchants did not say that they burned straw, and the buds and cotton seedlings in the field had to be left to make fires for cooking. The pastures and weeds of the Northland are also to be preserved and fed to the livestock. Du Xiaoxi really couldn't figure out where the smoke came from.

"Young lady!" Fangcao lifted the curtain and whispered anxiously.

Du Xiaoxi walked over and wondered, "What's wrong?" So urgent. ”

Fangcao hurriedly said: "Young lady, it's not good, there is news from the yamen that someone deliberately set fire, and many horse farms have been set on fire!" The young master has gone to Beijing, what can I do? ”

Arson?

Du Xiaoxi hurriedly asked, "Did you catch someone?" ”

Fangcao hurriedly shook her head, "I didn't say it, the people in the yamen said that they had rushed to put out the fire." ”

If something really happened, it was Liu Yao who was unlucky in the end, Du Xiaoxi hurriedly instructed Fangcao, "Go and ask Aunt Xiaorou to come and see the little master, and let people go to Beijing to inform the young master, prepare the carriage, and I will go immediately." ”

"How can you go? It's too dangerous, it can't be! Not! Yerba shook her head.

"Go!"

Du Xiaoxi didn't say much, went back to the house directly, looked at the sleeping little star, changed his clothes and ran towards the door with Aunt Xiaorou who came in a hurry.

As soon as the carriage left the alley, it was stopped after passing the yamen.

It wasn't that someone specifically stopped Du Xiaoxi, but the road in front of him was blocked.

"Haha...... Where's your prefectural order? Why did the master shrink up and not show his head when he came? A disdainful mockery came, followed by a group of people laughing.

"Zhao Shaoweiwu, as soon as you came, the small county order was not afraid to go out!"

"Zhao Shaoke is going to knock on the door? We haven't seen such a big official as the county magistrate! ”

"Hahaha...... What a big official! ”

The sound of a group of dog-legged mockers came, and the onlookers were silent.

Du Xiaoxi lifted the cotton curtain and stood on the wheel, looking straight at a group of young men in brocade clothes who were riding horses and laughing arrogantly not far away.

"Hah! Master, I heard that Liu County Ling is busy begging for these untouchables to go to the horse farm to mow the grass, Xiao Ye is a good person, how good it is to burn it directly, and your county order in the province licked his face and begged for help! Ha ha! Waiting for your county order to come back, remember to let him go to thank the master! ”

Thank you grandma for a leg!

Du Xiaoxi scolded secretly and said to a group of family members in the house who were beckoned by him to put out the fire: "Arrest them!" ”

"Yes! Young lady! When the family members heard them say this, the young master's face was already red with anger, and he couldn't wait to step forward and beat those people, Du Xiaoxi ordered and walked directly over the crowd.

Du Xiaoxi's words were not only heard by the family, but also by the people nearby and the people on the horse, and for a while, everyone looked at Du Xiaoxi.

The official's wife, Du Xiaoxi, is very low-key, and most of the people present don't know who she is, but this can't hide the favor of the people.

"Who are you? Do you know who our Zhao Shao is? Do you know who our Zhao Shao's aunt and grandmother are? "A certain dog's leg can't be beaten.

Du Xiaoxi doesn't like the way of meeting the eight generations of ancestors very much, but the big businessmen like it, and she can only follow the local customs.

"Who?"

The person who was called Zhao Shao had a straight back when he heard this, and he raised his chin proudly, waiting to accept the envious and jealous gaze of the world.

"Our Zhao Shaoke is the young master of Zhao Guogong's mansion, his aunt and grandmother are the queen's mother, his grandfather is Zhao Guogong, and his father is the son of Guogong's mansion! How scared! ”

I'm afraid of you!

Du Xiaoxi beckoned: "Hurry up and arrest people, and wait for the next person to reward five taels of silver!" ”

Seeing that the master said this, the family members were no longer afraid, and directly stepped forward to control the horse and 'invite' the people down.

"Dare to distract the people! Let go of the master! I must kill you! Zhao Hongzhan waved his horsewhip and hit the people who arrested him, but unfortunately, they were all wearing big cotton jackets, with thick skin, and they didn't hurt at all.

The little boy's buddies have fine skin and tender meat, how can they be the opponents of men who do rough work every day, and they were quickly caught and stood in a ball.

Du Xiaoxi smelled the growing smell of smoke and said directly to the official who was secretly looking at him from afar: "Throw them all into prison, I will bear it if something happens!"

Mrs. County Commander said this, and the officials were not easy to hide, and they stepped forward one by one, and one of them bowed to Du Xiaoxi: "Listen to Mrs. County Order, you have to bear a little for the little ones!" ”

Du Xiaoxi waved his hand and promised: "Don't worry, let them come to me!" ”

Several officials hurriedly responded with a smile, and stepped forward to Zhao Shao and his entourage: "Everyone, please, please be considerate and understand that we are also acting according to orders." ”

Seeing Zhao Shao and a few people scolding and being pushed into the yamen, Du Xiaoxi beckoned everyone to find someone who knew that there was on fire to lead the way, and hurried out of the city.

As soon as Du Xiaoxi left, the onlookers began to discuss.

"This is Mrs. Prefectural? I don't think it's as good as the county order! ”

"I heard that the county commander has a rouge tiger at home, and when I saw it today, it was really like this! The county magistrate was also aggrieved. ”

"Mrs. County Commander is so bold!"

"However, watching them being snatched away by the ashes, I really couldn't be more comfortable."

……

Liu Yao hurried back to Hongxing County and went straight to the place where Du Xiaoxi was.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongzhan's purpose was to deliberately oppose Liu Yao, and the Zhuangzi they chose were all Zhuangzi from the bad horse farm that Liu Yao had promised to let the people come to cut the grass.

These Zhuangzi people didn't dare to offend because of Zhao Hongzhan's identity, thinking that the grass in the horse farm was useless, so they didn't stop them.

Zhuangtou was also afraid of burning the surrounding places, so when Zhao Hongzhan and they left with a group of people, he beckoned the people in Zhuangzi to extinguish the fire.

When Du Xiaoxi came, most of the horse farm had already burned down, and the fires on the other three sides had been controlled by the people on the Zhuangzi, leaving only the downwind side of the fire, which was too big and burning fast, and they didn't dare to make much action.

"Go further and shovel out all the grass in front of you! Just go! ”

The most effective way to prevent the spread of fire is to set up a separation belt, and the people in Zhuangzi also understand the principle of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, but they were too anxious to subconsciously put out the fire and forgot about it.

The family members stepped forward to shovel the grass together, and the people in the Zhuangzi also reacted and rushed over to help, and soon cleared a separation zone more than two meters wide.

When Liu Yao arrived, the fire had already been extinguished, and Du Xiaoxi was staring at people and sprinkling water to prevent the resurrection. The husband and wife whispered a few words, instructed the people on the Zhuangzi to pay attention next, and then separated and ran to other places.

A family of Zhuangzi ran over and confirmed that it was already night after the fire was all extinguished, and the two returned home exhausted and fell asleep.

The next day, before dawn, he got up again.

Something happened yesterday!

Zhao Hongzhan directly burned down other horseshoe farms, and the people on Zhuangzi didn't dare to stop him when they looked at the forces behind him, but someone still stopped them.

I heard that the countryside Zhuangzi raises people, and many old ladies and old men occasionally live in Zhuangzi for a while, and the old lady of the Hu family lived in Zhuangzi yesterday.

The old lady is a devout Buddhist, who eats fasting and recites Buddha on weekdays, and believes that all things have spirits, and every flower, tree, and world is one.

Originally, the old lady had promised to give the grass on the horse farm to the poor people for free, so that one could live, the second could live, and the third could get a good reputation when her family accumulated merits. With one fell swoop, the old lady felt that she had done a great meritorious deed, and she was very happy lately, and her spirit was much better. The old lady and the servants around her sighed one after another, sure enough, it is true that Zhuangzi in the countryside can recuperate people!

Yesterday, Mrs. Hu heard that someone was going to burn down her horse farm, and the old lady was angry on the spot.

If you burn a piece of land, you can't make merit, but instead burn all the living beings in the grassland to death, how can you do this kind of evil thing?

Yes, Mrs. Hu immediately refused and ordered someone to drive Zhao Hongzhan and them away!

How could the young master of the dignified Guogong Mansion be driven away by the ashes, Zhao Hongzhan ignored the obstruction of the Venerable Master Zhuangzi and commanded his little Hello to ride a horse in the horse farm and light a fire at will. After that, he even stopped the people who wanted to put out the fire, and when he saw that the racecourse was almost burned, he laughed and ran to the next place.

Smoke billowed from the air.

Mrs. Hu had a severe wheezing disorder, and the smoke blew into the house along the direction of the wind. Mrs. Hu, who had heard that the racecourse had been burned, was angry and slapped her chest. When I smelled the thick smoke, I couldn't help coughing again and again, and finally fell ill and couldn't be saved.

Good people were angry to death, and it was impossible for the people of the Hu family to give up.

Liu Yao slapped his face with cold water a few times to calm himself down.

There's a tough battle to fight today!
