Chapter Twenty-Nine: Encounter with Bandits
"Slow down!"
Feng Qianli stretched out his hand, caught the small humanoid cannonball rushing from upstairs, and stretched out his hand to scratch Liu'er's nose, "Little naughty ghost, I'm worried about my mother." ”
Su Ru hurriedly walked down the stairs and sat opposite Feng Qianli.
deliberately straightened his face and said, "Liu'er is not going to come out of Uncle Feng's arms quickly and sit in his place." ”
"Ao," Liu'er saw Su Ru with a straight face, knowing that it was because she was running too fast that her mother was worried, so she came out of Feng Qianli's arms and sat on the chair next to Feng Qianli.
With his hands on his cheeks, his two little short legs swayed restlessly under the table, looking at Su Ruis with a smile,
"Hehe, Liu'er knows it's wrong, her mother is not angry, Liu'er actually knows that Uncle Feng will definitely catch Liu'er, and Liu'er will be fine."
When Su Ru heard this, she glared at Liu'er angrily,
Seeing Liu'er like this, Feng Qianli shook his head helplessly, "Let's eat." ”
Looking at the table again, Feng Qianli ordered a stir-fried lettuce, two catties of beef in sauce, a braised pork, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, and a bowl of egg drop soup.
Liu'er sucked hard, "It's so fragrant!" Let's go! ”
As he spoke, he raised his chopsticks and wanted to pick up the vegetables, but suddenly thought of something, held the chopsticks in his hand, and put a piece of braised pork into Feng Qianli's bowl, "Liu'er hasn't thanked Uncle Feng for taking care of him all the way, Uncle Feng eats meat!" ”
Feng Qianli smiled, "Thank you Liu'er," Miss Su is really good at raising children, it's rare that Liu'er knows how to be polite at a young age, compared to those little ancestors in the capital who are spoiled and lawless, I really don't know how much better.
After speaking, he put a chopstick and lettuce into Su Ruye's bowl, "Mother also eats." ”
Su Ru glanced at the braised pork in Feng Qianli's bowl, and then looked at the chopsticks in his bowl, "Liu'er is favoritism, if you have Uncle Feng, you don't want a mother?" Otherwise, what you can do is braised pork for your uncle, but what you give to your mother is green vegetables. ”
"Well," Liu'er obviously didn't think of this question, and scratched her head,
"No, because Uncle Feng has been riding a horse outside for a day today, he must be very tired, so he definitely needs to eat a piece of meat to replenish his energy, and his mother has been riding in the carriage for a day with Liu'er, and now I see that this braised pork is so greasy, there will definitely be some range, so I should eat a mouthful of lettuce first to buffer it."
Su Ru smiled and patted Liu'er's head, "It's just that you are crooked." ”
Liu'er looked up at the coachman, stretched out his arm and put a piece of sauced beef in the coachman's bowl.
"Uncle Coachman must be tired after a day's drive, come and eat a piece of meat to replenish your strength."
The coachman looked at the meat in the bowl, obviously a little flattered, put down his chopsticks and waved his hand,
"Thank you, little master, it's hard for the little master to still think about the villain."
"You're welcome."
After Liu'er finished speaking, she looked at the dishes on the table again, quickly poked a piece of braised pork into her bowl, and ate it with a big gulp.
Su Ru looked at Liu'er like this, smiled helplessly, picked up the bowl and filled a bowl of egg drop soup for Liu'er, "Eat slowly, don't be afraid of choking." ”
"Hee-hee," Liu'er looked up and took the soup with a grin, "Liu'er is hungry." ”
Seeing Liu'er like this, Su Ru couldn't help but smile and shook her head, and began to eat.
Early the next morning,
After Su Rushi and Feng Qianli had breakfast at the inn, they packed and took away some sauced beef and dry food.
Holding Liu'er into the carriage, Su Ru opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at Feng Qianli who was riding on the horse with a smile, "Feng Gongzi is careful when riding a horse." ”
Feng Qianli smiled and nodded, and the group walked towards the capital.
Halfway through, the carriage suddenly stopped, and an exclamation from the coachman came from outside, "What's wrong?" Su Ru opened the curtain and looked out.
"It's okay, but a few little thieves are in the way, you and Liu'er sit in it and don't move." After Feng Qianli finished speaking, he raised his hand and lowered the curtain.
He frowned and looked at the few thieves who were blocking him, "I drove this road, and I planted this tree." If you want to cross this road, leave to buy road money! ”
The big man at the head carried a machete and shouted at Feng Qianli with a fierce face.
"Poof," Su Ru sat in the carriage with Liu'er in her arms, and couldn't help laughing, hahahaha, it turns out that the ancient bandits really robbed money like this, and I always thought that this was just a joke in a modern TV series.
Liu'er looked at Su Rus, who was smiling and trembling, with an inexplicable expression, what was her mother laughing at? They met a bandit, how could my mother still laugh so happily?
Outside the carriage, the groom shrank in the carriage, trembling with fear. Feng Qianli took a closer look at the bandit led by him, and saw that although the thief was holding a machete in his hand, his eyes were upright and clear, and he didn't look like a big traitor.
took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it over, "The younger brother is out of the house, and he only brought so much money, I hope the eldest brother will forgive me." ”
The thief took the silver, bit it with his teeth, then took the silver in his arms, waved his hand, let the brothers push it away, clasped his hands into fists, and said to Feng Qianli: "Offended." ”
Feng Qianli was even more suspicious, so he opened his mouth and asked, "The younger brother saw that the eldest brother had an upright face and was open, why did he do the act of a bandit?" ”
"Alas," the bandit leader sighed when he heard this, "We were originally all good people near the capital, doing a decent living, but the sky was not beautiful, this year's drought was severe, there was no harvest in the field, plus the plague broke out in our hometown, and many people died, we had no choice, so we had no choice but to become bandits." ”
Feng Qianli frowned when he heard this, he didn't hear that there was a plague outbreak in any place near the capital recently, but in the event of a drought, the imperial court should have issued an order for disaster relief, "Then didn't the imperial court give you disaster relief money?" ”
"Disaster relief money?" The bandit leader sneered when he heard this, "Maybe it's gone, but we didn't see a single thing." ”
Seeing that Feng Qian had to ask again, the bandit leader took the brothers and prepared to go back, "Don't ask, young man, let's go, this bag is not very peaceful, there are many people like us who occupy the mountain as kings." ”
When Feng Qianli heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he didn't ask any more questions, got on his horse again, and rushed to the capital.
Along the way, because of listening to the words of the bandit leader, everyone felt a little uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was heavy.
