As soon as a joke was finished, Meng Tianchu heard someone calling for help from the reeds on both sides, he asked everyone not to make a sound, and then listened carefully, it really seemed that there was someone, so he quickly asked Wang Yi to stop the car and jump out of the car first.

Slaying Dragon jumped out of the car after him, and when he saw that Meng Tianchu was listening to something, he also looked around.

"Master Meng, I see that the sound is coming from the reed on the left, I'll take a look."

After slaying the dragon, he flew into it, and Xiaonuo also jumped out of the car and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Tianchu motioned for her not to speak, and pointed to the back of the dragon slayer, Xiao Nuo had to stand aside and look around, not knowing what the hell the three of them were doing.

Soon I saw the dragon slayer flying out of the reeds with a man on his back.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward, and Wang Yi carefully helped the man down from the dragon slayer, but it was a woman in her thirties, judging from the way she dressed, she didn't look like a local, her clothes were ragged, her face was pale, and she looked like she was dying.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly went over to take a look, probably too tired.

"Xiaonuo found some water for this woman, probably suffering from heat stroke."

Xiaonuo hurriedly ran from the bag of water in the car to a nearby river not far away to fill the water.

After the woman drank the water, she opened her eyes slightly, and Meng Tianchu asked in a low voice, "Eldest sister, where are you from?" ”

The woman's voice was very small, Xiaonuo lowered her head to listen, and then said, "She said that she came from Ningbo to find her relatives. ”

The woman nodded.

Meng Tianchu saw that the woman hadn't spoken much, so he asked them to carry the woman into the car, anyway, they were going to eat, and it was not too late to ask after she had eaten.

The carriage continued on the road, and the woman, as if feeling safe, soon fell asleep with exhaustion.

Meng Tianchu asked Slayer Long and said, "I just vaguely heard her shouting for help." I thought it was a robbery, but how could it be..."

Dragon Slayer whispered: "Your Excellency heard me right, this woman fortunately met us, she was probably really robbed." ”

Meng Tianchu was taken aback. Under the blue sky and white sun. Is there really anyone who is so bold to attack a down-and-out woman?

"Why do you say that?"

Slayer said: "When I went, she was tied under a willow tree. The baggage around me had been opened and there was nothing, not even a piece of clothing left for her, probably her cry for help scared away the robber, and when I went, I saw the reeds swaying not far away, and I thought it might be so. ”

Xiaonuo: "Such a hateful person, then why don't you chase it?" ”

Tu Long said: "The terrain of that place is complicated, and I have only been in Hangzhou for more than ten days, so I am not familiar with this place at all. Besides, my mission to slay the dragon is to protect Lord Meng, since this woman has been saved. The reeds are so wide that I'm afraid I'll get lost. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Slaying the dragon said that the ground is also true, since this eldest sister is fine, when she wakes up, we will ask the appearance of the person who robbed her, and then post it." I believe that it is still possible to find that person's land. Let's go, we're about to get out of this reed. I think this reed swing is really a good place to rob houses. ”

Xiao Nuo said with a smile: "I think our Lord Meng is a new official who has taken office with three fires, is it possible that you are also going to sweep away this reed sweep and turn it into a flat river?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "You dare to laugh at me, be careful that I spank your ass!" ”

Xiaonuo suddenly turned red, Meng Tianchu also felt that this joke was wrong, a little excessive, although the person was young, but after all, she was also a girl, so she quickly opened the topic and said to Wang Yi: "I think what Xiaonuo said, but you go back and find the people of this nearby village and ask Lizheng, if this reedy soil is suitable for farming, it is not impossible for you to raze them to the ground, and if you have more crops, the people will have food and clothing!" ”

Wang Yi hurriedly said yes.

Xiaonuo: "When I went to the river to fetch water for this woman to drink, I found that the soil is still very fertile, and if I can't grow rice or something, I think it is better to grow some fruits." ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "I can't see that our Princess Fengyang knows a little bit about everything, and even has studied the soil, which is really amazing." ”

Xiaonuo was a little unhappy, and said: "Brother Meng, why are you talking sourly, do I Xiaonuo have to know nothing, don't understand anything, and be like an idiot for a day, is it in line with my identity as Princess Fengyang and the daughter of the Governor?" ”

Meng Tianchu is just a joke, Xiaonuo is not angry on weekdays, and he is used to it, but when he sees her getting angry seriously, he still feels inappropriate, after all, people treat him well, he is used to calling Xuexue, so he also called Xiaonuo like this, she didn't say anything, it was really rare, thinking of this, Meng Tianchu quickly apologized, his attitude was sincere, and he didn't mean it jokingly, who would have thought that Xiaonuo didn't know but it was different from usual, he had been very angry, and he didn't appreciate it, Meng Tianchu was a little embarrassed, Everyone didn't say anything along the way, until Juxian Building.

Tu Long woke up the woman, several people got out of the car, Wang Yi handed the car to the second child in the store to feed the horse some forage, Xiao Nuo went into the store alone, Tu Long whispered to Meng Tianchu: "I didn't know that this Xiao Nuo had such a big temper. ”

Meng Tianchu was afraid that Xiao Nuo heard it and quickly signaled to slay the dragon not to say more, a few people followed in, the woman stood at the door with some hesitation, refusing to enter the door, the shopkeeper thought it was a beggar on the street, so he expelled loudly, Wang Yi turned around and found that the woman was still standing at the door, and quickly let her in, Wang Yi and a few of them did not know about the dragon slaying shop, but the other three were regular customers of this Juxian Building, although the shopkeeper did not know that Meng Tianchu was already the prefect of Hangzhou Mansion, but the tip given to the shopkeeper on weekdays has always been generous, Everyone also likes him very much, not to mention Xiaonuo, in addition to being the daughter of the governor, now there is a more expensive identity, that is, the sister-in-law of the Long Live Lord, the princess of Fengyang who told the whole world, but he didn't expect that there was a woman named Huazi behind him, but Wang Yi had already called, and the shopkeeper couldn't say anything, so he had to smile and retire to do something else.

Everyone went up to the second floor and entered a private room where they usually sat on weekdays. At this time, it is not time to eat, so Juxian Building is quite clean, only three or two idlers want to have a pot of wine and a few side dishes to drink slowly to pass the time.

Meng Tianchu asked Xiao Nuo to ignore no one, and sat down alone. took the cold handkerchief from Xiao Er's ground. wiped his hands and face, and then made a beautiful face to support his cheeks. didn't order food, and Xiao Er didn't dare to mess with it, so he looked at Meng Tianchu carefully, Meng Tianchu smiled, and said, "First fetch some water for this eldest sister and let her wash it, as for the dishes, our Xiaonuo girl..."

Xiao Nuo grabbed Bai and said, "Don't worry about me." I'm full, don't eat! ”

Meng Tianchu secretly smiled at Xiao Er. said: "It seems that someone doesn't want to treat me today, okay, I'll invite you, isn't it just a treat." ”

Xiaonuo said angrily: "Who said I wouldn't invite, I just asked." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Ate such a meal. The stomach is going to be flatulent. ”

Xiaonuo was puzzled. "Why?" ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help laughing and said, "Because the people who treat the guests are already angry." We, the diners, ate the food you invited, and naturally got gaspy. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Xiaonuo already wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it, so he said again: "Don't eat beans and other things today." ”

Xiaonuo: "What is why?" ”

The woman on the side had been listening carefully to the conversation between these four gorgeously dressed people, and knew that the handsome offspring was deliberately amusing the beautiful girl. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst out laughing, Xiaonuo finally couldn't help it, his face flushed and he punched Meng Tianchu's body with two punches, Meng Tianchu saw that Xiaonuo was not angry, so he put his heart at ease, such a sincere girl, he couldn't bear to make her sad and angry.

Meng Tianchu: "The eldest sister said yes, you see that you are still happier." ”

Xiaonuo smiled: "As far as you are bad, you can figure out everything." ”

Xiao Er took the woman out to wash her face, and Xiao Nuo said: "This woman seems to have recovered a lot, and she actually knows that she is joking with us, and it seems that there is no big problem." ”

Tu Long: "The birthplace of these poor people, first, they can think about it, and secondly, it seems that there is nothing valuable on their bodies, just a change of clothes, and now it is fate to pick it up, which is not bad." ”

Meng Tianchu: "That's what I said. ”

Everyone was chatting, only to see the little two with the woman walked in, everyone looked at the past, after washing their faces, the woman looked more energetic, the appearance was quite upright, standing by the door a little shyly, Xiao Nuo smiled and said: "Come in and sit, what are you doing standing there." ”

Xiao Er: "Then I'll let people serve the food?" ”

Xiaonuo: "Haven't you ordered yet?" What are you on? ”

Xiao Er: "Yes, too, the little one is busy and confused." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Forget it, we come often anyway, you know what we like to eat, we don't order anymore, you just look at it." ”

Xiao Nuo echoed and said yes, Xiao Er hurriedly smiled and retreated to prepare.

Meng Tianchu saw that the woman was no longer as restrained as you after laughing, so he motioned for her to sit down and talk.

Wang Yi said: "This is Lord Meng, the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, if you have anything to say to him, he will make decisions for you." ”

When the woman heard this, she was stunned at first, probably because she didn't expect that this Hangzhou Mansion parent official was such a young offspring, and he was so easy-going, so she quickly knelt on the ground, lowered her head and shouted Lord Qingtian.

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Get up, you don't have to be so formal, you sit down first, tell me, what happened to you when you met us before?" ”

The woman got up, but she didn't dare to sit down, standing opposite Meng Tianchu, looking a little nervous.

Xiao Nuo said: "Master Meng asked you to sit, you just sit down, you stand like this, it makes us feel uncomfortable." ”

The woman sat tremblingly on the stool, cleared her throat, and said, "If you go back to your lordship, I came to Renhe County, Hangzhou Prefecture to join my own sister, my hometown suffered a flood that has not been seen in a century, and the house collapsed, home..."

The woman's eyes turned red, and her voice choked up.

Meng Tianchu comforted: "Natural disasters cannot be prevented, and it is the common people who really suffer, what about your family?" ”

"Both... They're all dead, my father, my mother. And my man and my three children..."

"Let's mourn and change, fortunately, you still escaped."

The woman nodded and said, "Originally, my eldest son came with me, and on the way... starved to death. ”

Xiaonuo: "Alright. Eldest sister. Don't think about it, fortunately, you have already reached the boundary of Hangzhou. It's already very close to Renhe County, and when we're done eating, we'll take you to your sister's. ”

The woman muttered, "Although I am here, I don't know where my sister lives in any county, she has been married here for almost ten years, and I have never been here. ”

Xiaonuo: "Don't worry, we'll help you find it." ”

Woman: "Girl, you are beautiful. From the bottom of my heart, I've really met a good person. ”

Xiaonuo smiled lightly. Said: "Have you been robbed before?" ”

Woman: "Well, they didn't snatch anything from me, but there were only two pieces of clothes in the baggage that I had found on the way to escape from the wasteland, and I think they were people who were just as miserable as me, or they wouldn't have attacked a down-and-out stranger like me." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but sigh. said: "It's rare that the eldest sister has encountered such a catastrophe and fright, and she still thinks about others. It really made Meng admire. ”

The woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You are also the best official I have ever seen." If you are another official, I'm afraid that if you let me sit here in your carriage and talk and eat with you, I probably won't even be able to save me. ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "In the eyes of your people, isn't it bad to be an official?" ”

The woman felt that she had lost her words, so she quickly shut up and did not speak.

At this time, Xiao Er served some lotus seed soup and appetizers, Meng Tianchu motioned to sit down at the table, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it yet, let's eat first." ”

The woman stood up, and Meng Tianchu said, "Eldest sister, what are you going to do?" ”

The woman said shyly, "I'm still waiting outside the door until you're done eating." ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "It's just a meal, sit down quickly, I'm already hungry, I think you are probably like this, come on." ”

The woman was still hesitating, and suddenly her stomach rumbled twice, everyone heard it, and the dragon slayer smiled and said: "We all heard it, you better sit down quickly, if you don't sit, if the adults are hungry, you can't eat and walk around." ”

After hearing this, the woman reluctantly sat down at the table, and Meng Tianchu smiled and motioned for everyone to serve the bowl and eat.

When the group accompanied the woman to Renhe County, it was already dusk.

The woman poked her head out curiously from time to time along the way, and the expression on her face became more and more delighted, and it seemed that she was still very satisfied with this place.

Xiaonuo: "Eldest sister, we have arrived in Renhe County, you haven't told us what your sister's name is and who she married in Renhe County, so we can ask for you?" ”

Only then did the woman come to her senses, and she forgot about it all the way, so she hurriedly said, "My sister's name is the third sister, and she is the third in the family. ”

Xiao Nuo sighed, Meng Tianchu smiled, and said: "I think the third eldest in the Danfan family in Renhe County happens to be a girl, and more than half of them should be called by this name." ”

When the woman heard this, her expression of joy just now disappeared, and she said, "No wonder this Xiaonuo girl just now wanted to make such a sound." ”

Wang Yi: "Then tell me, what is the name of your sister's local man and what she is doing in Renhe County, we will help you find it." ”

The woman thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the surname is Zeng, and I heard that he is a pig killer." ”

Wang Yi: "Then this range is too big, there are probably dozens of households that kill pigs in Renhe County, and they can't be found today." ”

The woman was so anxious that she wanted to cry, and said, "Ah, how is that good?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "That's okay, Wang Yi, you first find an inn for this eldest sister to live in, and tomorrow you take the eldest sister to find a few brothers to help you ask." ”

Woman: "But..., but I don't have any money, how can I stay in an inn?" ”

Wang Yi said: "You don't have to worry about this, since Master Meng asked you to stay, you can live with peace of mind, then I'll send Meng Ye and Miss Xiaonuo back first, right?" ”
