Chapter XVII

Seeing that she was getting more and more serious, Lin Shaxiang hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Don't say it, don't say itβ€”"

"Ancestors? What ancestors? ”

Lin Archie poked her head out from behind Yun Qi, and Yun Qi hurriedly pushed her back. At this time, there is still chaos, and Yunqi is in a hurry to catch fire first.

Xing Sanniang also knew that she said something she shouldn't have said in anger, so she hurriedly changed her words: "In short, you shouldn't have responded to that Yao scoundrel, you should have taken the money and hurried home!" ”

Lin Aqi grabbed the clothes on Yunqi's back and responded: "At the beginning, Yunqi and I both came back, and it was the head of the Yao Township who sent someone to call us back......"

"This bastard! I had the idea to fight in vain! It's really annoying to me! See if I don't tear his face! ”

Although I don't know what grievances the master has with the head of the Yao township, Lin Aqi still knows how to see the wind and steer the rudder.

"That's it, I don't want to go, he has to ask me to go!"

That's true.

Fortunately, Sanniang stopped beating her, and ran out of the house with a feather duster, and Lin Shaxiang and Yunqi caught up with her.

"Madam, please dissipate your anger, I was also present at the time, and I was able to testify for Lin Aqi, she didn't have this intention, it was the officials above who thought she was feasible and chose her."

Yunqi's words were not hurried, but he pointed out the relationship just right, and Xing Sanniang's anger suddenly dissipated.

She threw away the feather duster, and Lin Shaxiang hurriedly picked it up and put it back in place.

Xing Sanniang went back to the house and sat down and took a sip of tea: "In your opinion, what should I do now?" ”

Yunqi patted Lin Archie and signaled that she could come out from behind him.

It's okay not to look back, but when I turned around, I was stunned on the spot.

The girl had a small face, her white face wrinkled into a bun, and she pulled Yunqi's clothes and didn't let go.

Xing Sanniang was angry again: "Come out for me!" ”

Lin Aqi was frightened, and sat down next to Yunqi aggrievedly.

Xing Sanniang pointed to the place where she was eating: "Sit back." At the end, he added, "I won't hit you." ”

Lin Archie lowered his head and moved back to his place, which was very pitiful. Yunqi felt a trace of pity in her heart, no wonder she was so afraid of her master, a woman was really no different from a flood beast when she was angry.

sighed again, in such a comparison, fortunately, his mother was gentle to him when he was alive.

Xing Sanniang didn't know what he was thinking, so she restrained her arrogance and looked in his direction: "Yunqi, you are a guest, you should not have to worry about this matter." But Archie is your savior, you are a person who has seen the world, and you can also show her a way out, which can be regarded as a gratitude to your family. ”

Lin Aqi raised his head suddenly, and lowered his eye knife to the master's mother.

How can that work? Obviously she saved it, why did she have to let Yunqi return the grace of saving her life for such a trivial matter? It's not a good deal!

"I, I'm pretending to be sick? So you can get out of it! ”

Lin Aqi said excitedly.

The other three fell into deep thought, and Lin Sha was embarrassed: "This illness is not a joke, the cause of illness can be big or small, you get better in a day or two, aren't you still going to be arrested to learn those Laoshzi?" ”

Lin Aqi was depressed again: "I knew that I shouldn't have gone today!" ”

"You can't go if you don't go, every family has gone, why don't you go? Wouldn't it be more troublesome for someone to send someone to the house to ask? ”

Everyone discussed for a while, but they didn't have enough lunch.

Lin Aqi knew that he had caused a big disaster, and his mood was so low that he was like a brazier pouring rain, and he was cold. But when she came back, she was too happy and forgot to pick up a clump of yams, and the master was angry, but she hadn't recruited yet.

I thought that Shi Niang would praise her for getting the money, but I didn't expect that not only was she not praised, but she was so frightened that Lin Aqi was going to doubt her life.

Yunqi pointed out at the right time: "I don't dare to deceive the two of you, if you can trust me, I am willing to help Lin Aqi get rid of the identity of the alternative." ”

The eyes of the three of them lit up: "Do you have a way?" ”

Yunqi nodded slightly: "There are always more ways than difficulties, there are them." ”

Lin Shaxiang could see that he had some ability, but Xing Sanniang was still not very relieved: "Is it reliable?" Wouldn't it be dangerous if it was found out? ”

To put it mildly, it was his effort; At worst, this is a crime of deception.

Xing Sanniang calmed down the anger before closing the door of the house, and whispered: "We were originally from the capital, and because we offended, we brought our apprentices here to take refuge. ”

She paused, trying to suppress the hatred: "Over the years, I have traveled everywhere and earned a lot of silver taels, it's not that I can't give Archie a good place to live." ”

Lin Aqi was very moved when she heard it, and sure enough, the master still cared about herself.

"But the money is all to ensure that she stays in the countryside before she can use it." She glared at Lin Archie, "If you go to our land of hatred, you won't even think about moving any of this money!" ”

Lin Aqi pursed her mouth, she was aggrieved again.

"Master, what happened in the past? provoked a family to come to the remote place of Xilin Village to survive? ”

Everyone has long regarded Yunqi as their own, and they don't avoid him when they say anything.

Shi Niang sighed: "It's all over, you just need to remember that although the capital is prosperous, it is also the most dangerous and deadly place." For you, it's important to stay in a secluded place. ”

If the master didn't say it, her heart would itch even more.

The four of them discussed, and Yunqi went to eliminate Lin Aqi's quota.

Xing Sanniang went to feed the chickens and ducks.

Lin Aqi rubbed in front of the master: "Master, just say it!" What the hell is going on? ”

Lin Shaxiang glanced at Yun Qi, who was also curious, and coughed lightly: "Your master doesn't dare to say it, and I don't dare, Archie, don't ask more, it's not a good thing for you, and it's a catastrophe for our family!" ”

Even the master said that it was not a good thing, and Lin Aqi would not ask more. I was bored and went out with a bamboo basket again.

Yunqi is also an idle person who can't recuperate from his injuries, so he goes out with her and moves his muscles and bones.

Lin Aqi suddenly remembered: "Aren't you being chased and killed by thieves and worrying about your life?" You have shown your face in front of the villagers these times, and everyone knows that we have a handsome relative, doesn't it expose you? ”

Yunqi shook his head, picked up a wooden branch and put it in the bamboo basket: "It's okay, didn't your master say that the big stone blocked the road, and our people can't get in, and the people inside can't get out?" ”

Seeing that she was puzzled, he patiently told her the reason: "If they come back and find that I am not there, they will think that I have escaped or been rescued, and if they have left someone to check on me, they will not be so stupid that they have not come to arrest me for three days." ”

Lin Aqi thought for a while: "Then you are safe for now." ”

Yun nodded: "Yes." ”

"Although this is the truth, there are many people in Xixiang, although it is remote, and it is not difficult for some news to spread."

She pointed to the stream in front of her: "This river is called Xilin River, its flow speed is not urgent, if the township does not have money to send letters, put what you want to say into a bottle, let it flow with the water." ”

Yunqi stared at the river and thought, "When can I get outside?" ”

"If it's a big bottle and it's just rained, for example, last night, you can catch it in the toad pond in less than one night."

"How far is Toad Pond from here?"

"There are about six Xilin villages so far away."

Yunqi estimated that the Xilin Village he had been to so far was barely the distance between the two capital officials entering and leaving the compound, so at this rate, if he wanted to spread the news of his health and integrity, he was afraid that it would take three days.

Not to mention that if someone picks it up, or it doesn't float to the destination at all.

"This can only be used for family letters, right?"

Lin Aqi nodded: "Yes, if there are people in the village who are out and it is inconvenient to go home, and the relatives at home miss them, they will tie them with ropes of different colors to let it flow freely." Everyone saw that it was a rope for a family letter, so naturally they wouldn't catch it. ”

Yunqi's eyes showed a bright color: "This is smart. ”

Lin Aqi gave him examples of what size bottles and ropes were used in which village and which township.

Yun Qi remembered things quickly, and although she listed more than a dozen collocations like a children's intelligence matching question, he still memorized them firmly.

Lin Aqi looked at him suspiciously, picked up a branch and nodded: "Really remember?" I haven't said the name of the place yet. ”

Yunqi helped her pile up the bits and pieces: "I have never forgotten reading books since I was a child, you can rest assured that I will be tested." ”

Lin Archie threw down the branch: "Coincidentally! I'm also a genius, not only collecting firewood, composing poems but also memorizing, all of which are the best! ”

Yunqi looked at her with a somewhat complicated look: "It's okay to brag, but don't go too far, after all, there is a thunderstorm tonight, and I am still in awe of God." ”

Archie Lin: ......

It's rare to see her blocked by herself, Yunqi was in a good mood, and took the initiative to help her pull the bamboo basket car: "Let's go, there must be a lot of branches to pick up in front." ”

Lin Archie took the lead in the front: "I'm not afraid!" If I sleep next to you, I will first split you, the unlucky bastard. ”

An elusive crimson flashed on Yunqi's face, did this stinky girl know what she was talking about?

I don't know if Yunqi's judgment is good, or Lin Aqi's luck is good.

The two picked up a large basket full of dry firewood and went down the mountain smoothly.

Lin Aqi was going to wash his hands by the stream as usual, and Yunqi squatted down to join her.

"What's your idea?" Lin Aqi sneaked close to him, as if he was afraid of being heard, "Although I know that I am very good and it is understandable to be selected, my sister is afraid that I will be offended and does not want me to go to that kind of place, but I still have a little yearning in my heart." ”

She held out her finger and gestured with her little thumb.

Yunqi washed his hands, remembering that no one handed him a handkerchief, so he had no choice but to squat in place and wait for it to dry naturally.

What's wrong with that?

He wanted to laugh a little, but he held back at the right time.

Is her sister afraid that she will suffer? I'm afraid that I'm worried that others will suffer her sin......

"You want to know?"

Lin Archie nodded hurriedly, her eyes staring at him without blinking, and her pigtails were blown away by the wind and a few strands of broken hair were raised slightly, which made her look gentle and calm.

Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, and quickly retracted his thoughts. She's just a stinky girl who doesn't know anything, and she tells her so much to do.

He retracted his eyes: "But it's a matter of confidentiality, and it's not certain whether it can be done." ”

Lin Aqi suddenly pouted: "Huh? Is that hard? Does that put you in danger? She said to herself, her eyebrows and eyes were full of worry, "Your injury is not healed yet, don't break in, the official and poor martial arts in the yamen will not be too weak......"

Seeing that she was really worried about herself, Yunqi was slightly moved.

The next second, she said again.

"It's so easy for me to take on such an apprentice as you, and at present, only Xiwenpo knows that if you break into the yamen and get caught and squatted in prison-" She looked nervous, "You can't embarrass me!" ”

Sure enough, this emotion didn't last more than three seconds.
