At noon, as Wang Qianhu said, there were chickens and geese.

Huo Bao ate a lot before he pressed down the sweetness in his stomach. Ma Juzi and Huo Bao had a good appetite, and then ate a round belly.

Six plates, six bowls, twelve dishes, and a few people ate a fine meal.

This table was cooked by Aunt Wang with her daughter, and the guest eating the disc is the best compliment to the host.

Aunt Wang was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

Ma Juzi had to go back to Binjiang in the afternoon, and the three of them had lunch and left.

If it is according to the rules, this kind of look, the man is satisfied, and the man's female elder should give the girl to wear.

Where would Huo Bao's uncle and nephew know this, even the foal also remembered when he was leaving, and took out a gold lock inlaid with treasure as a gift.

The gold lock is not big, one inch square, small and exquisite, and the gems on it can be brilliant.

Huo Bao was stunned, but it was not good to stop him in front of the Wang family.

Aunt Wang was dazzled and didn't dare to take it.

It was Wang Qianhu who nodded, and Aunt Wang took it carefully and hung it on her daughter's chest.

Wang Qianhu also took out a green jade safe and sound card and handed it to Huo Bao.

The jade is ordinary, and it looks like something that has accumulated years.

This is the woman's return gift.

The girl didn't come out again, so Wang Qianhu and his family personally sent the three of them to the door.

When he was far away from Wang's house, Huo Bao stopped and said to Ma Juzi: "Sister Juzi...... The Golden Lock...... Find an object to exchange with the Wang family......"

Although the foal is a woman, she has always been dressed as a man, and the golden lock she wears is a child's style, and it cannot be said that it is an immortal lock that she has brought since childhood. This kind of is mostly given by the elders, and it is not easy to give it away.

Huo Bao also thought of this, and said: "I was negligent, looking for two other gifts in the silver building, and make it clear to the Wang family." ”

Ma Juzi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't bother, it's just a gadget given by the elders when I was a child, I have half a box there, and it didn't fall outside for the future concubine, and it will be passed on to my nephew in the future!" Don't change it, we don't have to let the Wang family find fault with us, and we don't even prepare for the ceremony. ”

The foal really didn't take it to heart, and the uncle and nephew stopped being verbose.

Huo Bao gave Huo Bao the Qingyu Nothing to do card: "Keep it well!" ”

Huo Bao took it with both hands and carefully put it into his arms.

As soon as the three of them finished speaking, they saw Niu Qing coming in a hurry, looking uneasy.

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Huo Bao noticed that something was wrong: "But is there something wrong with the bazaar?" ”

Niu Qing said in a low voice: "I seem to have seen Second Brother Huo!" ”

Huo Bao's eyes widened.

"Where?" Huo Bao asked hurriedly.

"At the entrance of the county government...... was escorted to the yamen on the charge of murder with a knife...... "Niu Qingdao."

"Dead?"

"No, one person was seriously injured, and two people were slightly injured!" Niu Qingdao.

can be called "Second Brother Huo" by Niu Qing, there is no one else, only Huo Er, the second son of Uncle Huo.

He used to be the shopkeeper in the county cloth shop, and later retreated with the White Shirt Army and disappeared.

Huo Bao didn't care to ask more, took everyone with him, and hurried to the county office.

In the county office, the previous officials have been purged, and now it is Li Qianhu who has taken over here.

Now that the county is peaceful, "killing people with knives" is a big deal.

It's just that this person was escorted to the county office, and before Li Qianhu could be interrogated, the person who pleaded for mercy arrived.

It was Sister Zhang's two sons.

Sister Zhang's face was full of sickness, with a head wrapped around her head, and she personally pleaded with the suspect: "It's really not a bad person, it's the shopkeeper Huo in our front yard...... In March, the family was stricken by the White Shirts, and they did not know where to go or when they would return...... The day before yesterday, the notice asked to expose the true and false believers, and in order to exonerate him, Gao Gou'er's family said that his family had a share of the 'dedication to the city' in March, so that the shopkeeper Huo heard about it, and today he copied the knife and went to Gao's house...... Even so, he went straight to Gao Gou'er's sons, did not touch the women and children, and was finally caught, but also avoided the pregnant woman, and was robbed of the knife......"

Li Qianhu hesitantly looked at the top of Brother-in-law Zhang's head.

There's no green on top of this head?

Even if it is a neighbor, but Sister Zhang does not avoid suspicion and opens the door to intercede with a foreign man, what is this?

Brother-in-law Zhang sighed and said, "Mrs. Huo is like your eldest sister like a sister...... The two families made an appointment to be married, in March, the Huo family lady will be in labor, it is inconvenient to travel, the eldest sister of the Huo family went to Buzhuang to send food back, met the small leader of the white shirt army, Zhen Lie died, Huo Niangzi got the news and moved the fetus, one corpse and two lives...... Shopkeeper Huo hid the news and chased the whiteshirts to ......"

"It's chaotic in March, no......" Li Qianhu sighed.

Huo Bao was at the door, but he was chilled.

Huo Er has a daughter, the same age as himself, and is thirteen this year.

Huo Er's wife is pregnant and waiting to give birth, Huo Bao also heard his father mention it when he comforted Uncle Huo.

It's all right.

"Where's the man?" Huo Bao strode in.

Li Qianhu and Sister Zhang both stood up.

"Where is Huo Shun?" Huo Bao asked again.

"It's pressed in the back hall! Little Baoye, are you here? Li Qianhu was a little polite.

"That's my second cousin!" Huo Bao Dao.

Huo Bao, Ma Juzi, and Niu Qing followed behind Huo Bao, and their faces were not good-looking.

I have heard that the white-shirted army is uneven, and has done a lot of illegal things in the city and countryside, but I have only heard about it, and I can't empathize with it; I didn't expect it to happen to my relatives.

What is this called?

There is a blood feud in between, so do they still have to fight under the banner of "White Shirts"?

Li Qianhu hurriedly ordered people to take people.

Huo Bao couldn't wait and went to the back hall in person.

There was a person sitting on the ground, with a flail, gray hair, a blank expression, and blood stains on his face and clothes.

"Second brother!" Huo Bao hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the flail, and helped the person up.

The man was stunned when he heard this, looked up, and then said in a trance: "I took a nap, this is a dream......"

"Second brother, it's me, Xiaobao!" Huo Bao's voice trembled.

Huo Shun is only in his thirties, and he is a businessman, and he is the most decent and clean person, but now he is in tattered clothes, his face is full of dirt, his beard is unshaven, his hair is gray, and he looks older than Huo Wu.

The two are called cousins, but because of the age difference, Huo Shun has always treated Huo Bao like a stone, the candy when he was a child, and the four treasures of the slightly larger study were all given by Huo Shun to Zhang Luo.

"Xiaobao?! What a little treasure! Huo Shun reacted, grabbed Huo Bao's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you still alive?" You're not dead?! ”

Huo Bao nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm not dead!" Uncle and stone are fine, and my father is also ......." Pointing behind him: "The tiger and the leopard are fine, and Cousin Niu Jiaqing is also here......"

"Second uncle!"

"Second Brother Huo!"

Huo Bao and Niu Qing followed.

"All alive? Why is there no one in the village? The corpses of your house? Huo Changshun rubbed his eyes vigorously, and everyone in front of him was there, so he believed it.

"When the white-shirted army occupied Lingshui, the Lingshui soldiers broke up and entered the village to kill the good ...... We slaughtered the defeated soldiers, and we didn't dare to stay in the village any longer, so we all came out...... Not only the uncle and the stone are there, but also the Niu Niu of the second room, the tiger and leopard in the third room, and the sixth aunt in the fourth room......"

Mrs. Huo had five sons back then, divided into five rooms.

"Our Huo family is still here!" Huo Shun was excited: "I only think I'm the only one left, what are you doing alive?" It's all there, it's good, it's good! "Laughing and laughing, crying out loud.

Listening to it, everyone's hearts were sour.

Huo Bao didn't care about being sad and checked on Huo Shun.

Huo Shun not only had other people's blood on his body, but he also had two injuries himself, one on his back and one on his right arm.

The right arm is fine, but it cuts through the clothes; The back is deep enough to penetrate the bones.

The yamen is not a place to recuperate, Huo Bao raised his head and said to Li Qianhu: "Uncle Li, I want to take my second brother back to the Sifang Inn to recuperate first, what if the Gao family wants to file a lawsuit, just let them go to me!" ”

Li Qianhu hurriedly said: "Gao Gou'er is still closed in the yamen, and their family is not innocent, what kind of lawsuit is it?" It's his family's blind lack of morality, and if you don't settle accounts with them, you'll cheapen them! ”

Huo Bao appreciated.

Huo Bao was clever, and he didn't need to be instructed to go out to find a car.

It's Sister Zhang, who has a complicated expression.

Who would have thought that the Zhang and Huo families would have such a relationship.

If the eldest sister of the Huo family had not had an accident, the two families would be in-laws, and they would have relatives with the county lieutenant.

Huo Shun saw Sister Zhang and Brother-in-law Zhang, but with gratitude on his face, he bowed down and said: "I climbed over the wall and entered the house yesterday, and saw that the West House provided the tablets for their mother's three, thank you for thinking about the eldest sister and brother-in-law." ”

Brother-in-law Zhang sighed: "That's all we can do." ”

Sister Zhang cried: "You are confused...... Not to mention that your relatives are still there, even if you are really the only one left, you have to earn a living...... My sister-in-law has been ashamed for a few years and has not passed on the Huo family to the next generation, how can you let her go and live in peace? After a year, fill in a room, get one, and let my hard-working sister and niece have someone to offer incense is serious! ”

Huo Shun's face was full of tears and he couldn't speak.

At this time, Deng Jian and Zhang San also arrived.

The two also brought one person, it was none other than Zhang San's nephew and Sister Zhang's son Gao Yue.

The two are the "rescuers" moved by Gao Yue.

Gao Yue went to ask her uncle first.

Although Zhang San sympathized with Huo's shopkeeper, he also knew that this matter was not easy to handle.

Yesterday, the boy scouts wore white shirts into the house to find out, and this Quyang can be regarded as getting into the carriage of the white shirts.

In the eyes of the people, they will not distinguish between the former white shirts and the current white shirts, but will only treat them as a family.

If you are not careful, you will have to carry the black cauldron; But it is necessary to distinguish it very well, and it is spread to the outside, and it is not good.

Zhang San was not good at making decisions himself, so he went to ask Deng Jian.

Deng Jian didn't like the white-shirts acting in the first place, but when he heard about this, he felt that the shopkeeper Huo had grievances and grievances, and revenge, which was a "righteous act".

In March, the families who were plagued by the White Shirts were not one or two families, but most of them endured and confessed, and it was the first time that they turned back to seek revenge.

However, admiration is admiration, and you have to find out the inside story of this matter.

Beware of someone deliberately inciting the discontent of the whiteshirts under the pretext of "revenge".

Unexpectedly, this is not an outsider.

Huo Bao's cousin is naturally Deng Jian's cousin.

The group went to the Sifang Inn, and Huo Shun was seen by the doctor, except for these two new injuries, the soles of his feet were ulcerated, and there were two old injuries on his legs.

When Huo Shun took the medicine and fell asleep, Huo Bao urged Ma Zi and Niu Qing to return to Binjiang.

"Let my dad come!" Huo Bao Dao.

It was not early, and the foals and cattle hurried away.

Huo Bao found Deng Jian and said, "Uncle Cousin, our white-shirted army is not a white-shirted army like that!" ”
