After listening to Sister Shu'er's vernacular, Qiao Ximei gently rubbed the top of her hair, patted her back again, and came out with a long sigh of relief.

However, this relieved performance is only the appearance. Qiao Ximei's heart is still hanging high.

After all, there have been several incidents in that old forest.

The life of the big guys is very hard, but why is no one thinking about "relying on the mountain and eating the mountain"? Is it because the people in the village are too stupid? Isn't it because that old forest is too evil?!

It's not that there are no hunters in the village, but even the old hunters in the village don't dare to go hunting in the old forest all year round.

Especially in the spring.

Qiao Ximei was very worried.

Most of the young ladies of this rich and noble family don't understand the rules of Shenglongling.

But natives like Brother Xian and Sister Rou rushed into the mountains in the season when they shouldn't be hunting, for fear of angering the beasts in the old forest.

At that time, not only will they be injured or even lose their lives, but I am afraid that those cattle will also come down to the village to cause trouble.

It's just that I can't blame Sister Rou and Brother Xian for this matter today.

Their children's families, how do they know how powerful this is?

Besides, these two children were both warm-hearted. I met the little lady of the main family and took the initiative to ask for help with them. Let them ignore it and throw other people's delicate little ladies there like that?

This kind of thing, their sister and brother will never be able to do it.

Qiao Ximei tried her best to keep her worries from leaking out.

softly comforted Sister Shu and Brother Jie, and let Nie take these two little guys, as well as several daughters of the Wang family, into the cellar to hide.

Others, including Wang and several of Erfang's grandchildren, stayed.

Qiao Ximei pressed the temples that were beating at the corners of her forehead with one hand, put the other hand on the table, flexed her index finger, and tapped the table one by one. I couldn't stop thinking about it:

It is said that in such a matter as conscription, the old and young masters of the family should hide.

But listening to the meaning of Lizheng, it is obvious that as long as the big guys stay at home safely and don't be too curious about what's going on outside, they can get through this hurdle safely.

Those two errand officers dressed in soap clothes may have really come to recruit soldiers.

But the men who appeared later with real swords and guns, riding horses and wearing armor may not have come for this incident.

Li Zheng, who is backed by Shantun, is honest and square, and has always had a good relationship with Lao Li's family.

Lao Li's family doesn't have anything to offend him on weekdays, and he shouldn't deliberately harm Lao Li's family.

Qiao Ximei settled down, feeling that she couldn't let a large family wait like this.

When people are idle, they are prone to have many rights and wrongs.

What's more, the atmosphere is so tense at this time, the women and children have all entered the cellar, and the rest of these gentlemen, one by one, are hanging for the group of people outside, maybe something will go wrong.

She stopped knocking on the table and said to the old man Li Jingfu:

"Jingfu, have you eaten enough at noon?"

"Huh? Yes! Eat your fill! Eat your fill! We had all finished eating, and the gang entered the village. ”

"Oh, then there's nothing to do now anyway, and being idle is also idle, why don't you teach your children and grandchildren to weave mats, what do you think?"

"Weaving mats, there must be reeds......"

"There seems to be wicker at home, and there are a lot of straws, can that be used? Anyway, I don't understand this, you can do it. If you can't weave mats, you can teach them how to weave baskets and baskets. ”

Li Jingfu nodded, and was very convinced by Qiao Ximei.

Or the old wife has an opinion!

Although he can still hold on to his face without panicking, he really can't imagine such a soothing trick.

Qiao Ximei saw that Li Jingfu understood what she meant, so she turned her head and commanded the Wang family:

"The third family, you hurry up and go to the big kitchen to boil two pots of boiling water and prepare it. The big guy just came back from the field, so he can't wash his face, wash his hands or something? ”

"Hey! Boil the water quickly, and it will be ready right away! ”

The second Li Liu resolutely refused to leave the house. The third child, Li Song, took Li Xiren and a few of them to the yard and came back with some wicker, Jindalai branches, and long straws.

The wicker and the Jindalai branches are all newly picked up firewood these days. The straw was last year's stale product, which had lost its moisture and became dry and brittle.

Li Jingfu touched a few materials and asked the big guys to set up the big table, and the old and young masters of the family sat around the table, gathered together, and started to weave baskets from the most basic steps.

The whole family moved, and their faces gradually became less tense than they were just now.

This farmer is like this, with work in hand, it seems that there is hope and reliance in his heart.

Qiao Ximei walked to the edge of the fence yard by herself and looked out from a distance.

The entire backing mountain has become very quiet.

Even sounds such as birds chirping and insects have disappeared rather strangely.

It's like it's winter, and when it's snowing heavily, it's covered in a thick layer of snow, and the eyes are full of emptiness.

Qiao Ximei looked in all directions for a while, although she didn't find anything, she didn't dare to stay for too long.

If you anger those people of unknown origin, the gains outweigh the losses.

She was about to go back to the house, but she couldn't help but glance into the distance again, and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It seems to be Rizheng?

How did Li Zheng run to the courtyard of Lao Luo's house?

She didn't dare to look more, and hurried back to the house.

All kinds of thoughts in my heart are intertwined, and I can't figure it out for a while.

It seems that I have to find something to do for myself so that I don't think about it!

Qiao Ximei took Li Jingfu's two old clothes that needed to be sewn out and started needlework. Because of his uncertain mind, it was just a simple job to patch, but he pricked his finger several times.

Soon, Qiao Ximei heard a noise outside.

And the sound of Ri talking to someone.

She listened carefully and found that Li Zheng and those men knocked on the courtyard door of the Tang family, and then rushed in, and then there were some small and fragmented voices.

Those people seem to be looking for someone. But it doesn't seem to be quiet.

She was shocked.

Suddenly, I found that I had neglected one thing - every household in Bohai County had a cellar, how could they not look at their own cellar when they searched it one by one?

Will the daughters-in-law and granddaughters there be disturbed by them, or even violated?

Qiao Ximei became angry, and the corners of her mouth foamed.

It hurt so much that she almost couldn't open her mouth.

No, either you have to let the lady hide in another place, or you have to cover up the cellar!

Qiao Ximei was so anxious that she couldn't think of how to escape this catastrophe.

Alas! If only I had built a secret tunnel to hide people when I was digging the cellar!

However, the carpenter who knows how to do tricks is unavoidable in the first place, not to mention that you are an ordinary person, engaging in this kind of thing, isn't it obvious to tell others that your family is tired?

But even if you don't make a secret passage and dig a small cellar for hiding people, it's better than this!

Qiao Ximei regretted it. At the same time, I secretly hated my own negligence.

I don't usually burn incense, and I hug Buddha's feet when I'm in a hurry; Now on the sedan chair, the ears and eyes are pierced......

Where's the time?!
