Li Mu jumped into the river and chased the baby

Zhou Xiya stood by the river and glanced at Li Mu, who was no longer visible, she knew that Li Mu's water quality was very good, even if the water was very turbulent now.

Zhou Xiya turned around and glared at the three servants.

"Yo, where did the chick come from?" Zhang Yayi was not flustered at all, even if he was surrounded by laborers who were working, he still had the heart to tease Zhou Xiya.

The guards standing behind Zhou Xiya took a few steps forward, checked the scholar, and shook his head at Zhou Xiya, the scholar was already out of breath, several of their guards were not good at water, so they didn't follow the water, there were already two people on the shore to pick up the boss who went into the water to save people.

"Why, you want to meddle." Zhang Ya saw Zhou Xiya with the guards, and his heart was bottomless, that woman actually jumped into the river, she really didn't know how to lift.

"You deserve to die!" Zhou Xiya's eyes were fierce.

"I tell you, don't be nosy, do you know who I am? Don't know how to lift, provoke people I can't provoke, so that you can't eat and walk around. Zhang Yashi took a step back.

"I want to see what kind of person you can't provoke, take it, beat me hard, don't you like to beat people and rob women, then taste the taste of being beaten to death." Zhou Xiya handed the whip on her waist to the guard beside her.

"You ...... I'm a servant, you dare to beat me, you're crazy" The guards really came, Zhang Yashou panicked, he was just wearing a yellow skin, but he didn't have any force at all.

Unfortunately, as soon as the words fell, the whip of the guard was drawn. The other two servants were also not well off, and were beaten by the other guards with sticks used by the working men.

"Help me...... Save me...... Come on...... Save me" with a whip, a whip was drawn, the whip saw blood, and soon Zhang Ya's flesh was opened.

There were a lot of onlookers, but none of them stepped forward to help speak, just watched quietly, they all hated this officer, usually Zhang Ya Servant did all kinds of evil, this time to repair the canal. Zhang Yazhi even used the power of supervising the work in his hands to bully the people who worked. It's only been a long time, and several have already died, and the people who give benefits to Zhang Ya can do light work. But they are all poor people. Who can come up with how much benefit.

The other side. Li Mu chased the child who was washed away, swam back with the child in his arms, and fell to the shore, and a guard picked up the child in Li Mu's hand. Li Mu went to find the child's mother again.

"Stop fighting, I know it's wrong, spare me...... I know wrong...... Spare me" Zhang Ya couldn't stop begging for mercy, and was whipped down by the guards, and his strength to speak was almost gone.

"Now I know how to beg for mercy, when the man begged for mercy just now, you have a trace of pity, you have a trace of pity for that child, continue to beat me, I want him to taste what it is like to be beaten to death." Zhou Xiya has her own kind side, but she can also be ruthless, for those wicked people, it is to implement thunderbolt methods, persuading people to repent is what the Bodhisattva does, what she has to do is to send these wicked people to hell to repent.

"My sister is the concubine of the Cui family's housekeeper, if you kill me, the Cui family will not let you go, if I die, you will not be better" Zhang Yashi spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Huh, huh? Then I want to see if what I kicked was an iron plate or a piece of wood" Zhou Xiya glanced at the official with disdain, no wonder he was so arrogant, it turned out to be a lackey of the family.

Ignoring the three people who were about to die, Zhou Xiya came to the river, and the guards held the rescued child and wrapped the child in his own clothes.

Zhou Xiya took the child, the child cried loudly in fright, Zhou Xiya coaxed her, this is just a five-month-old child, it's really pitiful, the father has suffered an accident, I don't know her mother?

"What about Li Mu?"

"The boss was ventilating in the distance just now, and he sank down to find someone, but the woman disappeared after falling into the water, and I didn't see her struggling, it is estimated that she fainted when she fell into the water, and the boss looked for so long and didn't find it, and the person didn't know where she was washed to." The guard said.

Zhou Xiya frowned, looked at the river, and in the distance, Li Mu came out of the water to breathe, "Call your boss back" Li Mu has been in the water for a long time, she doesn't want Li Mu to have an accident.

Li Mu returned to the shore, he fell on the shore and had no strength, the river was very fast, fortunately, the weather was not very cold now, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand it.

The guards put on Li Mu's coat and helped Li Mu stand up.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Xiya looked at him with concern.

"It's okay, it's just that the woman is hard to find, over there?" Li Mu shook his head and glanced at the child in Zhou Xiya's arms, the child was no longer crying after being coaxed by Zhou Xiya.

"It's dead," Zhou Xiya said very lightly.

Li Mu just nodded, such a person is also a sin to live.

"What about this child?" The child's father died, and the mother probably won't survive.

"Inquire about anyone else in this child's family, and send the child back to them." Li Mu didn't have a good way, the river line was very long, and the people they arranged to help these laborers were not here.

Probably Zhou Xiya directly ordered the people to be killed, calmed the people around them, and also helped them, an older laborer came over, "This young lady, thank you, you can be regarded as eliminating harm for us, you better leave quickly, this Zhang Ya Servant's family is very powerful, if other Ya Servants come over in a while, you will be in trouble, go quickly." ”

At the same time, they were also a little scared in their hearts, afraid that those officials would find them angry later, after all, three people died, and when this noble man left, someone had to stand up and take responsibility, alas, how could this be good.

"No, we'll settle this matter back, I'm not afraid that they will come to the door, uncle, let me ask you, is there anyone else in your family, this child, her parents are dead, where is this child?" Zhou Xiya is not afraid of the Cui family at all, as if a cousin of her same clan is married to the Cui family, as if she is married to the Cui family's sister-in-law.

"No, there is no one in this child's family, this scholar moved to our village a few years ago, and their hometown has suffered a disaster. There has been no one for a long time, this scholar is teaching in our village, a very good person, it's a pity, we didn't catch the canal here, we really don't dare to care, this Zhang Ya has killed several people, we dare to be angry and dare not speak, now everyone is happy anymore, we can't do anything about this child. Please also ask the nobles to help raise her. I thank you on behalf of her parents. The old man knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Zhou Xiya and Li Mu glanced at each other and looked at the child in their arms, how good this was.

"Uncle, you get up first. Let's take the child first. I'll stay here and wait alone. You don't have to worry that other officials will come to you to settle accounts. Li Mu said.

Zhou Xiya hugged the child and Li Mu left first, and on the carriage back, Zhou Xiya looked at the child who was already asleep. Gently holding her little hand, "This is a little girl, Li Mu, what should I do with this child?" ”

"Go back and let my uncle show this child first, it's really not good, only we have to raise her, can't we still support a child." Li Mu gently touched the child's little hand, he had no children in his previous life, so he really wanted to have a child of his own, he and Xiya's child didn't know when it would be there, and now it is not bad to have a child to enjoy the fun of being a parent in advance.

"Shall we raise it?" Zhou Xiya's eyes widened, Li Mu wasn't joking, she thought about it a lot, or giving the child to others to raise or something, and she didn't think of raising it herself.

"This child is so good-looking, look at this little face, she must be a beautiful child when she grows up in the future, it's better for us to raise her, and be our daughter, you said that if your father knows that both of us have children, will he let us marry immediately." Li Mu blinked.

"I thought you were kind, but you were here to calculate me." Zhou Xiya was speechless.

"This child is so pitiful, let's be the parents of this child, and it is also her blessing." Li Mu lightly touched the child's face.

"Then let me ask the child's father, what is the name of our child?" Zhou Xiya couldn't help but smile after speaking.

"Call Li Xian, take the sound of leisure, I hope that her generation can live a leisurely life, be safe, don't worry about it, and spend this life leisurely and leisurely, so that her parents can rest assured." Li Mu thought about it and said, a girl has no impact on her own children in the future, so Li Mu is also happy to have one more child.

"Xian'er" Zhou Xiya called this name lightly.

Back at the inn, they came to a campus they rented, Chen happened to be drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard, and when he saw Zhou Xiya and they were back, he put down his work and walked over.

"What's going on? Li Mu, why are you all wet, why do you still have a child? Chan asked.

"It's a long story, let Li Mu change his clothes first, let's go to the house and talk." Zhou Xiya and Chen went to the house.

Bai Yichuan was writing something on the table in the house, and saw Zhou Xiya coming in with a child in her arms, and was about to ask something, but when she saw Chen shaking her head at him, she didn't ask anymore, just looked at them.

Zhou Xiya said what happened, "That's the thing, now that this child has no family, we have to take this child back, Li Mu means that this child and we have some fate, so we will adopt this child, just a girl, and there is no big obstacle to adopting her." ”

"I'll show the child, it's cold, this child has fallen into the water, these people are really out of conscience" Bai Yichuan took the child over.

"Xiya, come here" Chen pulled Zhou Xiya aside.

"You kid, what are you messing around, it's so simple to raise a child, isn't it? You and Li Mu haven't married yet, if you suddenly go back with a child, what will people outside say about you, you want a child, you can give birth to yourself after getting married, you can't raise this child, I will find a suitable person and hand over the child to them to raise. Chen couldn't help but lecture.

"Why should I care about other people's remarks, Li Mu likes this child, I like it too, and we are adopting this child, we are doing good deeds, and if others want to say it, let them say it." Zhou Xiya's stubbornness came up.

"You girl, you want to be angry with me, this child would rather be raised by me than let you keep it, gossip kills people, if you become married to Li Mu now, I won't say anything, if you like to adopt a few, you will adopt you, aren't you not married now?" Chen angrily pointed his finger at Zhou Xiya's forehead, this guy who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

"But Li Mudu has chosen a good name," Zhou Xiya pouted innocently.

"You guys are fast" Chen glared at her, Zhou Xiya had no choice but to shrink her neck, and she didn't dare to provoke her uncle, so she had to push the responsibility on Li Mu.

"Ahem, I'll say a few words," Bai Yichuan interjected while holding the child.

"There's nothing wrong with this child, it's just that it's cold, it's not good for such a young child to drink medicine, as long as you don't have a fever, it's not a big deal, the five or six-month-old child can eat complementary food, go back and boil some millet porridge to feed the child, as for the adoption of her, I think it's okay, since this child has arrived at our house, it can be regarded as having a fate with us, or it won't be a coincidence that Xiaoya will encounter such a thing, isn't it just a child, how big a thing, adopt it."

Chen glanced at her husband, "You men are big-hearted, I'm not here for Xiaoya"

"Yes, yes, aunt, I know that you are for my own good, and I will consider adopting this child again." Zhou Xiya received a hint from her uncle and simply adopted a delaying tactic.

"It's pretty much the same, why don't you hurry up and let the maid boil porridge, remember to boil a little sticky, and boil more" Chen smiled and patted Zhou Xiya, very helpless.

――――――――――

In the Cui Mansion, the housekeeper of the Cui Mansion was accompanying the patriarch to greet Marquis Xiao and his party.

"Marquis Xiao, I didn't expect you to come to the door in person." The head of the Cui family hugged his fists and was very happy.

"It's Ben Hou who is bothered, this time I went to the capital to congratulate His Majesty on his accession to the throne, and I came to Cui's house to meet Brother Cui on the way." Marquis Xiao replied politely.

"Hou Ye Xiao is polite, please, the house has been prepared at home, I want to catch up with Hou Ye and you."

The group entered the Xiao Mansion, and outside the living room of Steward Cui, the tea and follow-up reception were being arranged for the maid, and a crying woman ran over, "Master, you have to be the master of the concubine, the concubine's brother was killed"

"What are you crying about, hurry up, is this where you cry?" The housekeeper hurriedly picked up his woman, although he was a slave outside, but in his own family, he was also a master, as the chief housekeeper of the Cui family, he had a status better than the average county order.

"Master, my brother is dead, he was killed by gangsters, and he was whipped to death by Huang Tianhuari, master, you have to be the master of the concubine, master" A charming concubine couldn't help crying.

"I'll send someone to deal with this matter, you go back first, I'll entertain guests here." The housekeeper is also a little angry in his heart, the concubine's brother is still very acquainted, although his ability is not good, but he is obedient, he is an obedient dog, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, let alone killed, this is a matter of face, and it cannot be easily passed.

"Master, you go in person, teach them a hard lesson, let them pay for their lives, or my brother won't die in vain." The concubine begged.

"I'll take a look," the butler hesitated, but agreed.

Inside, the patriarch was chatting with Marquis Xiao very well, and now there are no too important things in the mansion, and it is not impossible to leave for a while, the housekeeper went in and found a reason to talk to the patriarch, let the second housekeeper star, and left the house.
