Chapter Twenty-Seven: Exposed
He continued to instruct Zhao Bai: "Brother Bai'er, after dinner, you go home first, the family doesn't know how serious the situation is." Tell the old lady about the situation, and ask the old man to arrange for someone to hide the things and find a place in the mountains to hide the grain and people. Remember to arrange people to guard the entrance of the village, and if there is any situation, quickly hide in the mountains, and at the same time send people to the city to spread the message. Let the clan be careful, the news that came this time is that there is a village that has been bleeding like a river, with more than a dozen dead and wounded, and a little lady can't find it......"
It goes without saying that the back is so bloody that the atmosphere in the lobby is much heavier. Zhao Lian stood behind Zhao's father and couldn't help but shudder.
Zhao Chong reminded again, "At this time, be smart, save yourself, and do a good job of defense, but don't expect anything from the government." I can't go back now. You take care of the family yourself. Now the county magistrate doesn't know how the injury is, whether the county lieutenant can come out to take charge. Relying on me alone, as well as the master who disobeys the public, the people in the government are impetuous, and the people do not admit their accounts, so what they can do is limited. β
Zhao Bai shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and said: "The county order is the prime minister's proud protΓ©gΓ©, and the in-laws of the county lieutenant's family are the family of the squire of the military department." The two of them came forward to bring in reinforcements from the court. β
"The army can move at will, the northwest barbarians are eyeing the tiger, and the southwest people are not restless. Where there is an army to be transferred. β
After Zhao's father said, Zhao Bai said that he understood.
Zhao's father Zhao Chong's heart is like a mirror, this is his young faith, how can a big country not even have this little soldier. It's just that this matter involves the issue of military power. Yong'an is under the rule of Anping County, and this matter can go to Anping County, and let the defenders solve it themselves. If you want other troops, you need to stab the court. If that's the case, well, that's a question. I'm afraid I don't know how many times the quarrel will take to get the result, but it's troublesome. Now that the situation is there, how dare the county commander and the county lieutenant poke it out easily.
Having said that, there is nothing to talk about, everything is waiting for the follow-up of the government. It was already halfway through noon, and the crowd was already hungry. After the meal was set, everyone sat down and ate in silence.
Bang bang bang!
"Is Zhao Dutou here? Yali is in a hurry! β
The door of the courtyard was knocked on the sky, and everyone was also concerned, only Aunt Hua was slightly surprised if she didn't know. Zhao Chong took a few bites of rice, put down the dishes and chopsticks, nodded to Zhao's father, and hurried out.
"What's the matter, Brother Zhao is in such a hurry." Aunt Hua said worriedly.
Father Zhao shook his head and said, "Eat first." β
But everyone didn't have any thoughts, so they put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating some.
Father Zhao informed Aunt Hua of the whole story, so that there would be no need to come again during this time. Aunt Hua took her salary, and left in a hurry with a white face. β
Originally, Zhao Lian wanted to visit Xing'er, but she couldn't get out at this time. Zhao's father watched her very closely and didn't allow her to go out. She herself was scared, and her life was more important.
In the afternoon, Zhao Lian nested at home, and Zhao's father went in and out of the food alone, buying a lot of things, and even a big long knife and a dagger.
Then he handed the dagger to Zhao Lian, pressed her shoulders and said slowly, "You take self-defense." When you really get to that point, don't be afraid, be calm, be strong, don't hesitate, take this and stab it hard, it's the same as killing a pig. β
Xu was moved by the atmosphere of slaughter, and Zhao Lian, who didn't have much feeling about the pirate siege, shook his hand and took the dagger. She knew that this dagger represented a place that her father couldn't protect, and she relied on herself.
Zhao's father has already begun to find materials and skillfully reinforce the wooden door. If the pirates did come, such a wooden gate would not be able to stop anything. It's just that everything needs psychological comfort, and it's better than nothing.
Zhao Lian wanted to help, but Zhao's father was worried that she would hurt her waist again, so she was only allowed to stand aside and hand over some light things, and she was busy all afternoon and finally finished it.
The sun was about to sink in the west, and Zhao Lian stood in front of the stove, unable to start. She just remembered that Aunt Hua took care of her as soon as she came here, she hadn't cooked here, and she hadn't used an earthen stove in a small county, and now they had to cook by themselves, and the focus was on her.
Because no matter how favored the original body is, it will always be better to cook on the fire. I don't know how the original owner's craftsmanship is, but individuals have personal habits of cooking, can the taste of cooking be the same for two souls?
Zhao Lian scratched her head anxiously, what should I do. Now it is more difficult for her than when she first woke up, and there is reason to say that she has a fever and is stupid, and she can learn to speak again. But now, what reason is she?
She took a deep breath and recalled the process, first chopping wood, then staggering the small branches, then enlarging, and finally lighting the fire, washing the pot, and stir-frying.
Oak, she could.
After a while, Zhao Lian burst into tears from the smoke and ran out of the kitchen, only to see black smoke in the hut behind her.
When Zhao's father heard the movement, he thought that he had set the house on fire, so he rushed into the house, and saw that the smoke was only slightly bigger. Helplessly, he sorted out the firewood, and then withdrew.
When I looked up, I saw the girl standing in the courtyard with her hands crossed, looking at him with a cat-like face. Alas, his heart softened suddenly, and he only said gently, "Wait for the smoke to clear before going in." And he left.
Alas, how can there be such a big change, and the stove will not burn. Father Zhao shook his head with his hands behind his back.
He didn't go to help his daughter, he knew that if she couldn't even do this, it would be really unpresentable.
Zhao Lian escaped this catastrophe in a daze, and put her heart back in her stomach.
At dinner, Zhao's father looked at the dishes that didn't have any quality, and when he lifted the chopsticks, he couldn't get his hands on it.
Originally, there were no such rich seasonings as in modern times, Zhao Lian just took out twelve points of effort, and made it like that, and nervously pushed a green vegetable in front of Zhao's father, and whispered: "Daddy eat." β
Zhao's father answered and grabbed a pair of chopsticks. Xu had prepared for the worst, and it was not so difficult to swallow when he really ate it.
Zhao's father grabbed a few chopsticks and said, "Eat." Rest early, there is still something to do tomorrow. β
Not found Alas, Zhao Lian smiled slightly, and also ate vegetables. As soon as I put it in my mouth, the taste was really not swallowed, nor was it spit, and it was very uncomfortable to hold in my mouth.
Zhao's father's brows are so deep that he can trap mosquitoes. Let my daughter cook to practice her skills, not to abuse her. At this time, he was glad that her daughter still had someone to ask for.
"Your Aunt Hua still has some leftover food at noon, I'll go and heat it up."
Zhao Lian raised her head when she heard this. She put down the dishes and chopsticks and pinched her thighs slightly. At this point, she is not a narcissist, and thinks that her acting skills can win awards. I don't think Father Zhao is a fool, and I don't notice anything.
Zhao Lian has been restless for so long, and she has been careful for so long, and she is also tired. Since the day I arrived, there hasn't been a day when I haven't been tired. Is this day finally coming?
The dish was served, not leftovers, freshly fried. Yes, there are so many people at noon, how can there be left.
At this point, Zhao Lian actually felt relieved.
She was looking straight at her father, without blinking, as if she was waiting for Zhao's father's verdict.
The little lady shouldn't have such complicated eyes, Father Zhao seems to understand the opportunity that the Taoist said, her dark and moist eyes seem to hide endless secrets, which are extraordinarily different and intriguing.
She seemed to see through him.
Zhao's father panicked.
