Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mountain Rain is Coming
Wang Shu immediately comforted her: "Sister Lian, my brother is very sorry when he finds out, he is also at fault in this matter, and others are chasing the wind and shadows because of himself." There was nothing to be said about his man's house, and no one remembered it a few days later. But it hurt you, sister. Sister, you have already made a marriage, if you are made to gossip because of this unpleasant matter, then he is really guilty. He had already explained to the Wei family brother when he went back that day, and he was glad that the Wei family brother was broad-minded and did not misunderstand these shadowless things. I'm here this time, first, I came to see you by myself, and second, I invited my sister to go with me on the day of the Peach Blossom Party, and we clarified it at that time, so no one would misunderstand. ”
Zhao Lian nodded, secretly relieved. The Wang family is a person of high character, and those who don't know the truth think that this is the responsibility of the other party.
After solving the troubles, Zhao Lian relaxed and chatted with him, and the two talked about others with great interest.
Approaching noon, the two of them returned after Zhao Lian's graciously stayed.
When it came to the meal, Zhao's father still didn't come back, and Zhao Lian waited and waited at the door, looking forward to it. She wandered in the door worriedly, thinking about a lot of horror scenes in her head, whether it was something wrong with her business, or something happened to him. She couldn't help but think about it.
When she was about to hold back and want to go out to find someone, Zhao's father came back with a solemn face, followed by Uncle Zhao Qi and cousin Zhao Bai, and the faces of the three were very ugly.
Zhao Lian shouted uneasily, "Daddy." ”
Zhao's father said stiffly, "Go back, you can't do this in the future, there is nothing you can't open the door, let alone stand at the door." ”
After that, he pulled Zhao Lian into the door, and everyone went to the hall together. With such a look, Zhao Lian also knew that something big must have happened, so she didn't dare to say anything after that.
Zhao Chong saw it, drove her out, and said irritably: "The female doll's family, let's go out first." ”
Zhao Lian was wronged, what's wrong with her, she can't let her know anything yet.
Zhao's father protected his daughter and disagreed, "What does it matter." It's better to let her know what's going on than not to know what's important. He turned his head and instructed Zhao Lian: "Only with ears." ”
Zhao Lian pursed her lips and said that she must be quiet.
As soon as his brother said this, Zhao Chong followed him. He wasn't afraid that the girl doll would hear it, so she was so scared that she would cry.
After sitting down, Zhao Bai couldn't hold his breath at first, and said anxiously: "Fifth uncle, seventh uncle, you have a word, what should you do in the future." Our family lives outside the city. ”
"Calm down, things haven't been figured out yet, don't listen to the wind and rain." Father Zhao stopped the impatient Zhao Bai, turned his head and asked Zhao Chong: "I just listened to the noisy crowd all the way to the county office, and the gossip about the county order was attacked by pirates and injured, and we couldn't see anything in the periphery." Old Seven, what's going on, is the county order seriously injured, where is the injury? ”
"I heard from the official who followed the county order that the county order checked the people's livelihood in several villages by the sea, and it was really good to encounter a pirate attack, and I almost couldn't come back, and I am still in a coma."
Zhao Chong continued: "I think we still need to wait for the imperial court to send troops to suppress it. A few days ago, the county lieutenant was injured, and now the county order is also attacked, which shows that piracy has become a climate. It's not enough for people to stuff their teeth with the people of Guangxian County, so they can only count on the defenders of Anping County to come to support. But the garrison of a county is less than 3,000 men. If reinforcements come, a considerable number of people must be left to guard the county seat of Anping, and the rest may be sent. In addition, several counties in our county are near the sea, and it is definitely not only our county that has suffered, but the guard general is the one again, alas. ”
In the end, Zhao Chong had a headache.
Father Zhao knew that the guard who was not in shape, and frowned, "Even if you send troops, it will take time, and when you discuss it, the soldiers are coming, I don't know when you will get it, this pirate may not know when to come." Now the people in the city must know about it, and the price of the rice shop has begun to rise. In two days, there will definitely be people from outside the city coming to the city, and the more people there are, the faster the prices rise, and the more people will not be able to buy things, so that Yong'an, which is already panicked, will be even more chaotic. ”
The more Zhao's father spoke, the more upset he became, "Our family has saved food, and we are not afraid of not having food." I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to make a bad move, or there will be bad people in the house, and Sister Lian is at home alone on weekdays, so I'm really worried. The matter was not resolved, and I didn't go to the store after that. Brother Bai'er, you can go back too. ”
There may be fewer pirates in the city, but there will certainly be a lot of chaos. Their family is fine, but their family is outside, Zhao Bai stood up anxiously, "Fifth uncle, seventh uncle." So what should we do in our village, when the pirates come, they must first wreak havoc on the villages outside the city. ”
"I also know that this is the case, your seventh uncle lives in the county government, and my family is such a big place, so there are not many people living in it. It is possible to let a few young people live in. Father Zhao pulled him to sit down and thought of a way.
Zhao Chong interrupted, "Don't fight this idea, there are a lot of little dolls, and your Uncle Zhao can't take care of it." We are not the only one in the village, so it is strange to ask other families to see this situation and not make trouble. The most taboo in this situation is that the people in the village are not united and make trouble. If we come to the county seat like a swarm, we have a lot of family, and we can stay for a few days, but how can we eat after living for a long time. If you stay in the grain capital, it will be mighty, and I am afraid that the pirates will not be robbed directly on the road. I don't think our village is near the sea, but under the Great Black Mountain, but it is closer to the bandits of the Great Black Mountain. Compared with pirates, at least they don't hurt people, and if there is anything, they just hide in the mountains. The most important thing now is to hide, and if the thief can't find anyone in a short time, he will go elsewhere. After stopping in one place for a long time, they are also afraid that the government will arrive. ”
Zhao Bai thought about it and felt that what Uncle Seven said was reasonable, and his own village was far away from the coast compared to other villages, so he calmed down. It's just that I can't figure out how this thing is developing, and I said, "Why did I just catch some lonely little ladies a few days ago, but today the county order was attacked, and I heard that some of them were robbed of food." At this time, it's not the time to rob it, it's spring, how much food can be stored in everyone's family, and it's reasonable to wait for the autumn harvest of food. At this time, everyone is afraid to hide everywhere, how to farm, delay the time, the grain harvest is not good, what to eat this year. Isn't that forcing people to die? ”
Zhao Baihong's neck was red and his face was excited.
"Guessing that something happened on the island, they were in a hurry. They didn't do that before. Among them, there is more than one group of people, and there may be those who are eager to grab food, little ladies, and property. Now they are only haunting the villages outside the city, and there are no solid rich families outside the city, if they are bold, they may dare to come to the county town to rob. Father Zhao didn't show much excitement, but his face was also very ugly.
"We haven't had pirates here for many years, and now they have the courage to make a comeback, not because of the ...... in the court."
Zhao Chong couldn't say that Chaoli turned to curse quietly, "Why didn't these remnants of the previous dynasty be cleared in the first place." ”
He has been looking forward to the qualification for promotion for many years, but now it is in vain, and now he is about to lose his fate.
Zhao Chongqi's face was red and his neck was thick, and he slapped the table.
Father Zhao patted him and motioned him to calm down, what's the use of talking about this now.
