Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Captain of the Colonel Invites to the "Banquet" to expose his heart and carry his life

Before Aunt Li finished speaking, Qiao Jinxin hurriedly left, not giving the other party a chance to say or refuse at all.

She was feeling that this eldest lady was also a kind-hearted female bodhisattva, when she saw Xiaohu playing with a delicate gadget in her hand.

"Xiaohu, come here."

took the things in Xiaohu's hand, and Aunt Li took a closer look, it was a cute jade rabbit with excellent workmanship and exquisite clarity.

"Xiaohu, who gave it to you?"

"That sister just now secretly stuffed it to me."

Xiaohu blinked his grape eyes, ate his hands, and said vaguely.

Aunt Li knew that it was the eldest lady's kindness, and it was impossible to chase her out now, so she could only return it the next day.

Qiao Jinxin didn't just give this jade rabbit that he wore closely.

There are a few left, Qiao Jinxin also gave away the evil spirit-warding small leaf red sandalwood skewers in his hand, the white jade placket, and even the snuff bottle that Gu Weijun would have brought with him, and finally if Gu Weijun hadn't stopped the two of them, Qiao Jinxin would have been able to take off the robe on his body, which was still worth a little money.

"Although your robe is well made, the material is not very good, even if you take it as a pawn, it is not worth a few dollars."

Gu Weijun's analysis from a professional perspective finally made Qiao Jinxin give up this idea.

"Then you should be okay, a pawnshop owner, you can't wear it very badly."

Qiao Jinxin smiled "hehe", and actually hit Gu Weijun with his idea.

Gu Weike is not the master who can be slaughtered by others, and immediately chuckles and rejects the guest.

"If you want to pick up what I'm on, wait until I go back and plug in the door."

"You!"

Seeing Gu Weijun smiling with a pure and innocent face, Qiao Jin was heartbroken.

Captain Hu was on the mountain, and his gang of brothers were untied after being asked by Qiao Jinxin to be untied in just three or two days.

It's just that there are still people to watch, but there is time to come out and let off steam, and there is some freedom.

He was full of confidence in someone to rescue him from the beginning, and now he is slightly suspicious, mainly because he learned from Qiao Jinxin that the eldest brother who was originally going to be rescued was not on the mountain at all, and there was a high probability that it was fine, but now that he was in trouble, he had no movement, and he was somewhat disappointed and resentful.

It's no wonder that Commander Hu is in charge.

He originally expected his teacher to support him at the helm, but he didn't expect that on the way back, this teacher was given a holy edict by the queen mother, added the crown prince, and immediately went to Beijing to supervise the new repair of Yiyuan, and he couldn't help for a while.

He suddenly had no idea, and he didn't dare to report it, so he only had a nest.

"Out for a stroll again?"

The aunt of the Li family carried the freshly picked Yin red wild fruits on the mountain in a basket and came up to greet them enthusiastically.

With the repeated orders of the owner of the village, he wants to treat these military masters as distinguished guests, and the whole village will actually be polite to them.

"Ahh

Captain Hu was a little uncomfortable with such simple hospitality and warmth, and his face was a little overwhelmed.

"Freshly picked, fresh and dewy, taste."

I can't help but say that this Aunt Li took out a large handful directly from the basket and stuffed it into Captain Hu's arms, and then followed by a lot, and everyone had a lot of it.

Captain Hu looked down at the fruit he was holding in both hands, thoughtful.

"Aunt Li, you're going to pick fruits again!"

Qiao Jinxin was on the side, as if he had no intention, but in fact, he was paying attention to the movements of this group of people.

Seeing Aunt Li's interaction with them, it seemed that she had touched a few people, and walked out with her back hand, pretending to bump into them by chance to say hello.

"Miss!"

Aunt Li held the basket and rushed to Qiao Jinxin.

"Miss, I picked a basket of wild fruits that are sweet, do you want to taste them?"

Qiao Jinxin took two from the basket that Aunt Li tried her best to reach, wiped them on her clothes, and sent them to her mouth.

As soon as the shell teeth bite, a stream of fragrant juice gushes out, the taste is crisp and sweet, and it is the essence of the mountains and forests.

"Auntie, you are really good, you can pick the sweetest and most fragrant fruit every time!"

Qiao Jinxin splashed the juice while eating, and gave a thumbs up and praised Aunt Li even more excitedly.

"Miss, if you like this basket for you, I'll hurry up early tomorrow, and I'll pick some more and come back!"

"No, auntie, although this fruit is good, I don't like sweet and sour things, you go back and bring it to Xiaohu to eat earlier, he will like it."

Knowing that Aunt Li was sincere and kind-hearted, it was even more impossible for Qiao Jinxin to openly take advantage of this, so she found an excuse to excuse herself and let Aunt Li take the fruits of her hard work home.

"Miss, what do you like to eat, I'll make it for you when you come to my house later!"

"Just stir-fry the horseshoe vegetables, I always think that this dish is only the most fragrant made by Aunt Li!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and prepare, and come to my house for lunch!"

"Okay, slow down, auntie!"

Seeing Aunt Li's overjoyed back, Qiao Jinxin took off the mask of joy and joy on her face, and walked in front of Captain Hu with an expressionless face.

"It's time for dinner in a while, you can come with me to Aunt Li's house to eat."

He waited for Qiao Jinxin to talk to him for a few days and talk about returning to Shun.

"You're daydreaming, wishful thinking!" Such four-character idioms have been circling in his heart for a while.

didn't expect to finally meet, but Qiao Jinxin still didn't say a word.

Captain Hu couldn't figure it out, and his mind could only ponder one thing.

Soon it was noon, and Qiao Jinxin came to call him as promised.

Yan Ming heard that she was going to take this "thorn" to eat alone, so she had to call a few strong men to join her, and Gu Weijun also had to follow.

As a result, I told Aunt Li that it was her Qiao Jinxin who went to the appointment alone, and finally formed a team.

Xiaohu squatted at the door of his house, holding the dog tail grass in his hand, teasing the ants that moved the food, and when he looked up and saw a group of people coming from far and near, the original interest immediately disappeared, he threw away the dog tail grass in his hand, sprinkled the girl into his yard, laboriously stuck on the wooden fence, a posture like a great enemy.

Seeing Xiaohu's reaction, Qiao Jinxin sighed, went to the fence to freeze his body, and called out loudly.

"Auntie, auntie!"

After a while, a woman with a tattered but washed clean apron came out of it, and when she saw that it was Qiao Jinxin, her sallow face burst into laughter.

"Ah, Miss, you're here, the meal is almost ready, come in and come in."

After a while, the fence was finally opened, and Qiao Jinxin walked in first, followed by the hesitant Captain Hu.

Gu Weijun knew the purpose of Qiao Jinxin's trip, and he didn't want to burden Aunt Li's family more, so he pulled the other three to stand not far away and hide.

"Yo, there's one more person, look at me, I'm not prepared."

Aunt Li saw that there were also Captain Hu, a little unexpected, but she didn't blame Qiao Jinxin and the others for being abrupt, but blamed her for her poor consideration.

In fact, she didn't think about it, I'm afraid that the rice jar was not thoughtful.

"Aunt Li, you don't need to prepare it specially, what you and Xiaohu eat, we will eat, it's all the same, you're welcome, right, Xiaohu?"

Qiao Jinxin said that he was about to reach out to touch the little tiger who was vigilantly hiding behind Aunt Li at this time, only showing a small head, nervously spying on the two of them.

Xiaohu shrank his head and dodged back, and Qiao Jinxin's outstretched palm fell into the air.

"Xiaohu, what's the matter with you, so ignorant?"

Aunt Li was a little angry and dragged the little tiger who had been hiding behind her to everyone, and counted it down sharply.

Xiaohu's small round face was full of anger, and he suddenly shook off Aunt Li's hand, rushed to Captain Hu and started, using both hands and feet, punching and kicking.

"Give me back my daddy, give me back my daddy!"

This childish little fist like a raindrop, although it is just an itch in his boots for Captain Hu, is nothing, and he can completely lift this little ghost and make him no longer presumptuous.

But what is strange is that Captain Hu did not move, let him vent, and did not say a word when he lowered his head.

"Xiaohu, enough is enough."

Xu Xiaohu recognized this dress and had a shadow.

Seeing the child like this, Qiao Jinxin was also a little unbearable, so he pulled him over, squatted down, hugged him in his arms, and patted him to comfort him.

She blamed herself a little for not using the child for her own purposes, so that the child recalled the bad nightmare again.

"How did his father die?"

Captain Hu stood in place, his lips moved slightly, and he looked at it for a long time before he finally asked that sentence.

"Last spring, the officers and soldiers of Ciyi Town robbed the people's grain, and his father was shot and killed."

"Do you know this? Captain Hu? ”

Qiao Jinxin's squinting eyes and the last sentence he asked casually actually hit the key point of Captain Hu.

"This, this is allowed by the superiors, the military salary has not been paid for a long time, ask the farmers to borrow, borrow some."

He stammered and bowed his head, his gaze evading. Qiao Jinxin has something to do.

"What a loan!"

She picked up the little tiger who had begun to whine and cry, and suddenly her voice was violent.

"In such years, let alone the surplus grain of small families, I don't know where to go after eating the last meal, how can I lend it to you? Didn't you rob them all? ”

"Even if you rob it, it will hurt people's lives! Beasts are not as good as animals! ”

Captain Hu couldn't deny it, and suddenly fell to his knees with a painful expression.

"I really didn't mean it, he himself had to come to take my gun, and he died when he went off in a hurry, and I didn't really want to kill him."

Captain Hu trembled and covered his face and was unwilling to face it, this was a piece of his heart and a demon.

In the middle of the night, he could also see the man bleeding from all his orifices, and let him pay for his life.

Qiao Jinxin originally wanted to use Xiaohu's experience to accuse the evil deeds of the officers and soldiers, and by the way, he beat Captain Hu and asked him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, who knew that such a big thing had been blown up.

"Hulai, you tell me clearly, what did you do?"

Qiao Jinxin put down Xiaohu, came over and grabbed Captain Hu's collar fiercely, and asked him to raise his head and ask again.

"I'm not human, it's my fault."

Captain Hu didn't reply, but just repented.

"You took people to Zhou Village, and you also set the fire?"

"I killed the innocent indiscriminately, and I am guilty!"

Captain Hu still didn't match, and only focused on one thing.

Seeing his trance-like appearance, Qiao Jin was furious, and he didn't ask much, just shook his hands and slapped him twice, unceremoniously.

"These two slaps are for the villagers who died because of your family, as for the rest, whether you killed Xiaohu's father or not, you also hurt people's lives."

Qiao Jinxin was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he make a decision.
