Chapter 117: Desolation

Xia Chen sat in the carriage, thinking that she was right not to participate in this scientific examination, because she learned about the test question from Lu Qi's mouth and found that she could answer it, not because of how well she read the book, but because she had used this question to test Cen Shaoze that day, and depending on the situation, the person who won the test this time will become the target of everyone.

Things are often like this, blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, even if people have thousands of calculations, but they can't avoid a hundred secrets, thinking of Wu Juan'er Xia Chen for a while: I don't want to do it, but I have been causing trouble for me! You provoked Yan Shiming's gang before, and this time it was probably because of you that the Xia Mansion would poison me.

She had already figured out that the reason why the Qian family and the Sun family could temporarily let go of their personal grievances was herself. Of course, they don't want each other's sons to win, but they don't want to see any chance for themselves to get ahead. Wu Juan'er didn't know the cause and effect, and she wouldn't be wary of the interrogation of the people of Xiafu, so she must have said a lot of things.

Anyone who suddenly learns that the person who has always been regarded as a fool by himself is actually a deeply hidden master, and it is definitely much more terrifying to be frightened than to directly encounter a master, so Qian and Sun almost immediately decided to get rid of themselves.

"It's gone, it's all gone! It's gone, it's all gone! ......" Suddenly she heard someone keep reading these two sentences, although the voice was hoarse, but there was a sense of familiarity, she opened the curtain and looked forward to the sound, and there was an unkempt and ragged old woman sitting on the side of the road, and she recognized this person at a glance as Mother Wang.

"Stop. Xia Chen commanded the coachman.

As soon as she jumped out of the carriage and before she could get over, she saw four guards patrolling the city running over and surrounding Wang's mother.

One of the guards, with thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, said, "You two get rid of this crazy woman." This must be seen by the Lord, and we must be beaten. Saying that, he kicked Wang's mother hard: "Mother's! Where is it not easy to go, but they came here to make trouble for us! ”

Wang's mother seems to be really crazy. Not only did he not cry out or be afraid, but he smiled deliciously: "It's gone, it's all gone......"

The two Praetorian Guards picked up Wang's mother and dragged her away, not knowing where to pull her.

Xia Chen hesitated for a moment, thinking that this Wang mother was hateful, but in those days when she was in Xia Mansion, she was finally good to herself. It's just that now she's crazy like this. It is worse to live than to die. After some hesitation, she decided to follow and see how the gang would place her, and quietly returned to the carriage. Whisper to the coachman, "Follow them and see." ”

The coachman said: "Father, son, we can't look at this excitement." ”

"Why?" Xia Chen blurted out and asked.

The coachman said in a low voice: "Although the capital is rich, there are still many poor people, but there is not a single homeless beggar on the street. Doesn't Childe think it's strange? ”

Xia Chen naturally felt strange. And it's not strange that it's been a day or two, there are so many people fleeing the famine in this era, and in a place like Anyang City, there should be more people who want to come to beg for a living. "Could it be that all the beggars here have been blown away?"

The coachman sighed: "Beggars and refugees from other places are not allowed to enter the city, and once they are found in the city...... They will be arrested and sent to prison for military service if they are in good health, and nine times out of ten if they are not in good health, they will starve to death, and I have heard that some of them will be buried if they are still angry. ”

"Wait for me here!" Hearing this, Xia Chen jumped out of the carriage. Fly to chase the two and Wang's mother.

After walking a short distance, one of the Praetorian Guards said, "What a bad luck. Such a crazy woman suddenly appeared, but fortunately she was not bumped into by the Commander. ”

Another Praetorian Guard said: "It's all those Xuanguo people who made trouble, and they let us Praetorian Guards do this kind of drudgery." ”

"It's not, but Brother Zhang, did you find it, although this woman is dirty and stupid, she doesn't look like a hard-born person, not only has thin skin and thin flesh, but also is so fat."

The Praetorian Guard, known as Brother Zhang, glanced at Wang's mother: "Really, isn't this mother-in-law supposed to be taken care of, but she was lost because she was stupid?" ”

"It's possible, but this woman will only say these two words, and we can't ask her where she called, she will be punished if she is late."

The Praetorian Guard, surnamed Zhang, said: "I remember that there is an abandoned well near here...... Lo and behold, it's just ahead! Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "Let's throw her into the well to fend for herself, in case someone with good things passes by, maybe he will help her find her family, otherwise sending her to the yamen will be a dead end." ”

"Brother Zhang is right, otherwise there will be a long way to get to the Yamen, and if we meet any adult or Xuanguo people, we will be affected by her."

Xia Chen heard that these two people obviously wanted to kill people, but they still had to find some nice excuses for themselves, and they really didn't know what to say about them.

Seeing that they had taken Mother Wang to the abandoned well, Xia Chen took out the knife but didn't do it, she was in enough trouble now, if she provoked this group of Praetorian Guards again, it would be difficult for this Anyang City to stay any longer.

Just when the two were about to push Wang's mother down the well, Wang's mother seemed to suddenly sober up a little, grabbed the edge of the well and refused to let go, and kept shouting: "I don't dare, I don't dare, spare my life...... My aunt will spare me. ”

The two Praetorian Guards glanced at each other, one of them picked up one of Wang's mother's legs, lifted her into the well, and then the two of them rushed into the well and spat: "Let's go." ”

After the two left, Xia Chen hurriedly ran to the well to look at it, the well was very deep, and Wang's mother fell into the muddy water at the bottom of the well, and the blood on her forehead ran down her cheeks.

Xia Chen thought for a while, took out two pieces of clothing from the ring, tore them into coarse strips of cloth and knotted them into ropes, found a tree and tied them up, and jumped down.

Probed Wang's mother's snort and found that she just fainted, Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and said while tying the rope around her waist: "You shouldn't die, you ran into me!" But if you don't want to cheat me, you won't end up like this. ”

As the two Praetorian Guards said, this Mother Wang is really heavy enough. It took a great deal of effort to get her up, to sit her down by the tree, to take care of her wounds, and to turn back to the coachman.

The coachman came over to help her help Wang's mother, who was still in a coma, into the car, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Little boy, what are you doing to save a crazy woman?" ”

Xia Chen said: "I know her, although she is crazy, she has a family, I think she is just lost, so I plan to send her back." "The two janissaries made up words to comfort their conscience, but they were just right.

The coachman smiled and said: "I see, the little boy is really a kind-hearted person, this woman is really creative when she meets the little boy." ”

It was inconvenient to take Wang's mother anywhere, and besides, she was injured and needed medical treatment, so Xia Chen had to tell the coachman to send her home.

When the coachman saw that it was Yue's Mansion, he hurriedly bowed down and asked, "Where does the little boy live?" ”

"Ah, my house is under fire and is being repaired, and Major General Yue is my friend, so I am temporarily living here."

"It turns out that the little boy is a friend of Major General Yue, and it's really an honor for the villain to be a coachman for the little boy."

Xia Chen said in his heart that it is better to make friends like this, it is a very face-saving thing to say it.

helped Wang's mother into the hospital, and the coachman Mao recommended himself to ask for a doctor. Yueniang closed the door and turned around and asked, "Chen'er, isn't she just ...... How did she get to be like this? ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "In the final analysis, it's not about money." "Mother Wang has gone through a lot of things, but in the end, she lost all her money and went crazy.

Yueniang asked: "Isn't it that the old lady died and was driven out by the eldest lady?" ”

Xia Chen said: "The same is true for Xu. Hearing this, she suddenly felt that a person like Mama Wang had lived to this age, and money was indeed very important to her, she had no children, no daughters, no home and no job, and she would be driven away by the master's family at any time, so those savings were undoubtedly her life. A lonely and widowed person in his twilight years is really indescribably sad, but why did Li Laoshi leave her alone?

At this time, Yueniang said: "The doctor should be here, I'll listen to the door." ”

"Hmm." Xia Chen nodded.

As soon as Xia Chen's mother entered the house, she heard a knock on the door, and said in her heart that this coachman was quite quick. Listening to the footsteps approaching, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, there were only two people, one of them was a small and fragmented Yueniang, and the other was obviously a practitioner, his footsteps were very soft, but the sound of each step was almost identical, indicating that this person's steps were extremely steady.

In the blink of an eye, the footsteps had reached the door, Xia Chen turned around suddenly, and saw Yueniang following a blue-clothed young man with a slightly dark complexion and a handsome face with an embarrassed face, and kept glancing at her. (To be continued......) R1292
