Pinghu City, a certain day.

Deserted on a country road.

A reckless man in black held the hand of a seven-year-old child, walking silently in the night that would not be bright.

There was the sound of a car rolling ahead, and a pungent stench wafted over.

The little boy immediately covered his nose with his hands and looked ahead in disgust, which turned out to be a dung truck. Seeing this, the reckless man picked up the little boy and walked forward quickly, just wanting to get away from the stench as soon as possible.

After a few steps, I saw that the dung truck was in front of me, but it suddenly stopped, as if it was stuck by something. The reckless man passed by with the little boy in his arms, only to see a middle-aged woman driving the car. She has a dark complexion and a strong body, but after all, she is a woman's family, and she is not strong enough, and she can't move the car even if she blushes.

The reckless man looked at the little boy inquiringly. The boy covered his nose, but nodded at him anyway.

The reckless man looked around, and saw a gazebo two steps away, so he put the little boy there, and then walked to the middle-aged woman, and said, "Sister, let me help you!" ”

The middle-aged woman thanked her in gratitude, and the reckless man took the handlebar and was waiting to exert his strength. The little boy suddenly said, "Wait a minute, there seems to be something under the wheels?" ”

The middle-aged woman was wiping her sweat with her hands, and when she heard this, she looked under the wheels and saw a bag wrapped in a white cloth under the wheels, which was the reason why the dung truck was stuck. She crouched down and tried to pull the burden, but the thing was heavy and weighed down by the dung truck, unable to move.

The little boy frowned and ordered, "Uncle Di, you lift the car slightly, and auntie, you take the opportunity to take that thing away!" ”

The reckless man known as Uncle Di held back his strength when he heard this, and the hundred-pound dung truck was really raised a few points, and the middle-aged woman was startled for a second, and quickly pulled out the white package.

"Oh my God!" The middle-aged woman cried out. She sat on the ground, her eyes wide open, as if there was some fierce snake monster in front of her.

The little boy endured the foul smell, and when he looked closer, he was also stunned.

It turned out that the package could not withstand so much tossing, and when the woman pulled it, it broke into two, and the contents were naturally exposed, and the thing was yellow, shining with metallic light in the night, and it turned out to be a stone of gold ingots.

The woman trembled her hands and counted the fifty taels of gold in the package.

In the early morning, Hu Zhixian helped the crooked official hat and staggered to the palace.

Here, there has been a commotion, and most of the people in the entire Pinghu City have gathered around.

Hu Zhixian had already listened to the report of his subordinates on the way here, and when he entered the county office, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the mountain-like pile of things in the public court.

He sat down on the top of the public court, looked serious, patted the wood, and asked, "Who are the people in the hall?" ”

The middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground raised her head first and replied, "My lord, the folk woman Sang Qinghua is a dung worker in the eastern district of Pinghu City. ”

Hu Zhixian immediately covered his nose, no wonder there was an unusual smell in the court, it was all brought by this woman, right?

The reckless man also raised his head and replied: "Di Yong, the people of the capital, passing by Pinghu. ”

Hu Zhixian moved his eyes to the small figure at the end, and said, "Where did you come from, Xiao'er, when you see this official, you don't kneel?" ”

A hint of arrogance flashed across the boy's face, and then he twisted his head to the side and snorted coldly.

The reckless man was uneasy, but he didn't expect that it was just a casual help, and it turned out to be a sideshow, and the master was humiliated here, and he was to blame for his death. He bowed his head and said respectfully: "My lord, the little nephew is a barbarian child in the countryside and does not know how to count etiquette. Look at the big man Haihan! ”

Hu Zhixian looked at Di Yong carefully. This man was in his early twenties, tall and strong, with a stubble on his face, and he felt ferocious at first glance, but he was very particular about the words he spoke, and although he knelt in the hall, he had an air of not being angry and arrogant. Look at the little boy standing again, the clothes on his body are ordinary, but he has fine skin and tender flesh, beautiful like the golden boy sitting down by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and there is also a noble air in his demeanor, where could it be a country barbarian child. Thinking of Di Yong just now saying that he is from the capital, the identities of these two people are not simple!

This Hu Zhixian has been an official in Pinghu for more than ten years, and he doesn't expect to get ahead in this life, but he doesn't dare to offend any powerful people, so he laughed and said: "Since this is the case, this official will not worry about the young son." ”

He cleared his throat and began to understand what had happened. It turned out that after Sang Qinghua found the gold, she immediately wanted to send it to the government, although Di Yong and the others said that they didn't want to participate, they were dragged alive by Sang Qinghua. When they came to the city, it was already dawn, there were many pedestrians on the street, and Sang Qinghua was a loud voice, and soon everyone knew what was going on in Ludao, so they gathered at the county office to wait to see the excitement.

After hearing the case, Hu Zhixian secretly complained in his heart. Fifty taels of gold, in a small county like theirs, is a lot of wealth. What kind of people are these, they have picked up so much money, and they still don't leave it behind.

"What do you want to do when you come to report to the official?"

"My lord, although the folk woman has never read any books, she also knows that we can't be greedy for things that are not our own. With so much money lost, how anxious the owner is. The woman just wants to ask the adults to find the owner and return the gold to him. ”

Hu Zhixian immediately fluttered when he heard this, so if he couldn't find the owner, wouldn't this money only be in the warehouse? Once in the warehouse, what he wants to do with it, can he use it for anything?

Hu Zhixian excitedly knocked on the startled wood: "This official understands, someone is coming, collect the gold, and post a notice to find the owner." ”

The officials obeyed orders and were about to act. Outside the hall, there was a surge of emotion, and someone shouted: "No, no, this gold is in the treasury, and it will not be safe!" ”

"Not bad! What if the owner comes to find it, and Hu Zhixian does not admit it? ”

"Let's wait for Miss An to come over, there is a little fairy here, isn't it a trivial matter to find someone or something?"

"Yes, yes—we've gone to ask Miss Ann. She'll be here soon. ”

In the courtroom, the little boy exchanged a look with Di Yong. Hearing the commotion outside the hall, they already understood that the reputation of the county master in Pinghu City was not very good, but they didn't know who the Miss An family they were talking about was so respected by everyone, she must be a very great person, right?

Hu Zhixian's face immediately darkened after hearing the words "Miss An Jia", and he slammed the startled wood: "No noise above the court!" You people dare to question your own officials, and you still want to call that little evil star-" He covered his mouth and looked around habitually, and changed his words: "Little Miss, come here." Such a trivial matter, why bother Miss An? ”

As soon as the words fell, a crisp children's voice followed: "It's not troublesome, I can share the worries of Master Hu, Miss Ben is so happy, where will it be troublesome!" ”

When the crowd heard this, they spontaneously made a way out of the way. The little boy was curious, his eyes fixed on the door, not blinking.

I don't know how many years have passed, he will never forget the scene of seeing this girl for the first time, what a wonderful and lovely picture it was.

Two men walked in carrying a rattan sedan chair, led by twins about ten years old. One of them wears white, the other wears green, they look exactly the same, although they are young, they can already see the rudiments of beauty. The sedan chair stopped outside the gate of the public hall, the girl in white opened the sedan curtain, and the little boy felt that the red shadow flickered in front of him, and a little girl with pink carving was already standing beside him.

The little girl was very short, but when it came to his shoulders, she looked like she was five years old, white and chubby, like a little bun, wrapped in a big red brocade dress, and combed two round buns on her head. The little bun looks very pleasing, her eyes are slightly raised, so that she seems to be smiling when she is not smiling, her round face is chubby, and she is very white and tender, and anyone who sees it can't help but want to hug and kiss the two.

The little boy's face turned red like a burning cloud. What was he thinking? How would you want to kiss this little bun?

Xiao Baozi spoke, his voice was crisp, and people wanted to laugh when he heard it: "An Xiaoxiao has come to say hello to Lord Hu again, I wish Lord Hu all the best of luck!" ”
