Village Chief Wu hurriedly walked up the mountain, but he didn't find any traces on the road to the mountain, and let go of the idea of continuing to walk inside.

The three people behind him turned around and hurried back: "You guys hurry up and think about where these two rabbit cubs can hide?" ”

I am also confused, the incident just happened on the mountain some time ago, and these two people can't run up the mountain no matter how bold they are.

To say that the two people who are hiding, one of them is not very old, just eighteen, usually very bold, and he is also ruthless in doing things, and it is not good for them to be right.

The other is the aforementioned Wu Haizhu, the one who wants to exchange his wife for children and women, and their daughter, Cao'er, and Helan also have some intersections.

Not to mention what he did to his daughter, or what he did afterwards, it can be seen from the things he did before that he is not a good person.

A few people first went to the house to look around, but they couldn't find it in the cellar and under the bed.

Tired panting and whirring, a few people didn't know what to do, or a young man saw that he couldn't find it, so he opened his mouth.

"Uncle, let's go to the cemetery, no one will go there, and there are haystacks, they have no place to hide on such a cold day, maybe it's there?" The more one of the young people thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

When they were young, they used to run to that area, and they couldn't find it for a day.

"Let's go!"

Arrived at the place in a hurry, but Village Chief Wu was not in a hurry, first asked a few people to walk quietly, and then let them disperse to find people.

When he found the last place, he saw a corner of clothes, and Village Chief Wu waved his hand and motioned for a few people to come over. Like catching an animal, slowly approach the middle around the haystack.

Then he pounced and pressed the person under him, this person was also startled, and he was about to start resisting after seeing who it was, and Village Chief Wu was also angry and stepped forward and kicked over.

When they saw the right face, they were even more angry, this person was the Wu Haizhu they were looking for, but he was really a moth in the village, and he couldn't harm his own family, and he had to let the whole village suffer.

No matter what Wu Haizhu said begging for mercy, Village Chief Wu didn't listen: "Press him, go back!" ”

And on the way back, this Wu Haizhu was also dishonest, and he broke free several times and wanted to escape.

A group of people returned to the ground and threw Wu Haizhu in front of the leading officers and soldiers, only to see that there was another boy on the other side, who was another person who was hiding.

His hands and feet had been tied, and he knelt on the ground with his head bowed, and the people of his family were also protecting him on both sides and begging for mercy.

The villagers were also relieved to see that the escapees were all arrested, and when they saw that one of these two people was Wu Haizhu, the villagers couldn't help but snort.

It's understandable that other people's children are afraid and don't know the severity of hiding, you are more than 30, and people who want to be 40 don't know the severity of the severity, so you can't say it.

I can't count the bad things he has done since he was a child, and most of the bad reputation in the village comes from him, such as breaking the legs of other people's dogs when he was a child, kicking down other people's doors, and stealing someone's fruit, etc., I can't count them.

"Official, this is the worst boss in our village, and he has been recovered." Village Chief Wu hurriedly replied to the soldiers standing above.

Helan in the crowd was looking at Wu Qingzhu from afar, but when she heard the villagers scolding and saying things that were not things, she was attracted to them, withdrew her gaze, and began to inquire about what was going on.

As soon as I looked at the two people kneeling, I could understand the general idea after listening to the discussion of the villagers.

Wu Haizhu was caught and Helan was a little happy like everyone else, as long as he left, Cao'er's good days would come, and she and her mother could live a few days of peace.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the officers and soldiers did not embarrass everyone anymore, so they asked the group to line up, take their luggage, and then plan to give an order to take them away.

"What's the length, there's still no silver to give." A soldier next to him saw that his chief was leaving, and hurriedly stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice.

This Shi Chang patted his head: "It's really popular with these two." ”

Shi Chang turned his head to look at Village Chief Wu: "You organize the people in your village first, line up, and each family will have a master, don't delay our time, hurry up and get these two taels of silver, and we can leave."

Before, Village Chief Wu heard that each family could give two taels of silver and thought it was fake, how could the government be so generous to return the money, so how much silver did it have to go out? Who knew that there was such a thing.

"Is the official serious?"

"Naturally, it's true, and we are close to the county seat, most of the governors are counting on you to help build and guard the city tower, so they naturally prefer you, hurry up, it's too late, it's gone."

Village Chief Wu didn't dare to ask more, stood at the top and took the roster and began to call people one by one, and then waited to come forward to divide the money.

When she arrived at Wu Qingzhu's house, Wu's mother pushed Helan and motioned for her to come forward to get it.

Helan also knew that Wu's mother wanted to come forward and take a few more glances with Wu Qingzhu, and she didn't refuse.

The previous life made Helan's personality slightly more rational, and she didn't think that it would be okay to take a second look. But you can't refuse the old man's thoughts, so you just go over and take two steps.

When the group left, the villagers couldn't help but cry again when they looked at their backs.

Reluctantly following the large army for a long distance, they had to stop, and then turned away until they were no longer visible.

After returning home, the group of people was also not interested, and Wu's mother cleaned up the mess on the table and went back to her room.

Helan sat in this room with red silk still hanging, a little melancholy. People who were still in the morning are no longer there in the evening, which is somewhat uncomfortable.

Helan couldn't help but think of the words that Wu Qingzhu muttered in his ear before going to bed last night.

He said that he had thought about letting her go, and he had thought about letting her go to find his relatives, but he couldn't get past that level in his heart, he wanted to keep her, he wanted to keep her by his side, and he kept watching.

It was the first time Helan knew that there was such a person who liked herself, cared about herself, and cared so much.

To be honest, Helan never knew what it was like to like and love what they were talking about, and she only needed or was unhappy in her heart.

For example, she is very happy with her family, so she wants to stay. And if you want to stay, you need to marry Wu Qingzhu, which is an additional condition, it just so happens that this person is not annoying, so it is not so difficult for her to accept it.

But Wu Qingzhu said that she cares a lot about the love she wants to take for herself, she really doesn't know what kind of emotion it is, and she has never experienced this feeling.

Wu Qingzhu, who was worried about Helan, followed the large army to the city gate when it was dark, but he was different from others, and was led to another camp by other soldiers.

I heard that he was assigned to a master's account, and it was not all said that he was a master, but he was just a manager in the army who sorted out the records or assigned the work.

Wu Qingzhu first went to the tent where Steward Fan worked according to what the sergeant said, and reported first.

"I've seen Steward Fan, in Xia Wu Qingzhu, he is a child from Wujia Village, and he was assigned by the Metropolitan Governor." Wu Qingzhu performed the student salute and bent down to pay respects.

The Fan steward looked to be in his fifties, with a sparse beard and a slightly dark face, as if he had been tanned for many years. The cheeks are a little sunken, and the face looks slightly longer.

Seeing that Wu Qingzhu had been thoughtful for a few weeks, Steward Fan nodded, and opened his mouth without talking nonsense.

"Come in, I heard that you have a boy here to be assigned, but here I am, it should be you."

"It's the students."

"Come in first, it's too cold outside." Wu Qingzhu did not hesitate when he saw the old man's kind eyes, put his luggage at the door, and walked in.

As soon as he stood up, the Fan steward opened his mouth again: "Most of the soldiers are peasant men, and I can't find a few who know how to read, and there are only six of us here, one of whom was sent to guard the city gate, and he has to record every day when he enters and leaves." There are also two people who help deal with things in the yamen, and they are also the main people in charge. The others are mainly doing some other miscellaneous things, and there are only three of us who have some fame, and the two talents who are in charge of the yamen are two talents, and I am just a child. ”

"The students are polite, just tell me anything in the future."

"Well, at a young age, even if you are a child, you can be considered young and promising, what we have to do is to copy, record some accounts from time to time, calculate the grain and grass to be transported to the front. There are some important accounts that we can't manage, what we have to take care of is the current reinforcement of the city wall, and the daily needs of the soldiers in the county town need to be listed. ”

"Yes."

"You haven't familiarized yourself with these yet, so it's good to learn a little more under me lately, and then get used to it. These things in the army are also a kind of experience for you, and they will also help you to take the imperial examination in the future, study hard, young man. Steward Fan was very satisfied with seeing that Wu Qingzhu had been listening to him humbly, so he couldn't help but give a few more words.

If you want to talk about Fan Guanshi, in the early years, it was really uncomfortable for a scholar to stay in this military camp full of rough men.

Several times he reasoned with others here, but he didn't know that people were angry and smashed things directly, saying that they were scolding him.

After a long time, I don't want to say a word to those men, and even if I do, I know that I am talking to them.

Now that he is a scholar, he can't help but say a few more words, so he wants to mention more, so that he can stay and accompany him more.

"The late student was taught." Wu Qingzhu rarely accepted the favor of this old gentleman, and this time he bowed his hand and bowed down to salute more respectfully.

"Well, let's live in a room, you go to the person who brought you, put down your luggage first, and have a good rest today, and then you will be busy."

"Or I'm here to help you."

Steward Fan saw that Wu Qingzhu had the posture of tidying up things, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Hurry up, I'll go back after I'm done with what I'm doing." After speaking, he waved his hand.

Wu Qingzhu didn't argue anymore, and once again performed the student ceremony, and then returned to his camp not far away with his luggage.
