Chapter 284: Asking for Blessings
Wu Yu is shallow, but he is not a person who makes something out of nothing. Since she was a child, she was abused and beaten by her father and looked down upon by the villagers, and over time she developed a sensitive and suspicious, but timid and cowardly character.
Every time Xia Qiu appeared, she felt palpitations and uncomfortable, and always felt that she had bad intentions towards the Wu family and was secretly plotting something. There is prejudice in my heart, and whatever Xia Qiu does is wrong.
But when she was on the verge of death and looked back, many things were indeed quietly changing. The eldest brother and the mother survived, although they don't know what the future holds, but now they at least have more choices.
It turned out that she was so ridiculously wrong.
Every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night, and I am full of regrets.
I want to do it all over again.
Xia Qiu doesn't know if her sadness is inherited from A-Niang, there is always so much melancholy. How good it is to be alive, there is sunshine and hope.
"Ah Yu, you won't die." Xia Qiu looked at her with a determined expression, "Believe me, I will definitely think of a way." ”
This time, Wu Yu believed. This is also the biggest difference between Xia Qiu and her, her desire for life is so strong, as if it is a beam of light. She knew what she wanted and didn't hesitate to pursue it.
Wu Yu suddenly said curiously: "You...... How did you get here? ”
"Didn't you see it all in your dreams?"
She can see that it is just a dream, and there is a gap between empathy and empathy.
"At that time, in addition to despair, I hated myself......" Xia Qiu looked at Wu Yu, his eyes were a little softer, and he talked about things like a different world, "I didn't expect that there would be another chance, but this time I won't be as ...... as before"
At that time, it was dark, and the Jin family had already cooked food.
Wu Yu did not return to the room for the first time, but the family of four sat down to eat together.
The family didn't have too many words, but it was never warm, and even the rejection of the two was not so serious.
It was already late at night when I returned to Lu Mansion, and Lu Tingxiu and Li Jingxuan also arrived back and forth.
Li Jingxuan has to rush back to Phoenix Mountain early tomorrow morning to measure with the craftsman on the spot. If everything goes well, the materials required for the crane can be completed in about ten days.
As for the uneven road, it is enough to let the laborers fix it slightly.
Sure enough, there are many people and great strength, so that in less than half a month, the grain from Hexian County can enter Linxian County through Phoenix Mountain.
Xia Qiu had to plan in advance, and let Wu Ze go to Hexian County to negotiate the deal first, just waiting for the completion of the lifting.
The official who went to Liangzhou was in danger, and escorted the Feng family back to Lin County all the way. Lu Tingxiu went to go in person and spread the hole cards of the imperial court to them.
The home was destroyed and inhumane abuse was encountered in Liangzhou, and the Feng family had already had a sore face and sneered at the special care of the imperial court.
It was useless to say more, Lu Tingxiu dismantled them and put them into various construction stations, and the treatment was no different from that of ordinary laborers, and other laborers were not allowed to discriminate against or treat them harshly.
Perhaps because of the openness of his heart, Wu Yu no longer rejects treatment. Xia Qiu came to Wu Ze to discuss going to Hexian to buy grain, and found Wu Yu basking in the sun in the yard, and the Jin family also turned over a corner to plant flowers.
Returning from the Wu family, Lu Tingxiu called Xia Qiu to the study and said with a serious expression: "You are going to meet Ergou once, he has to leave Lin County immediately." ”
Summer and autumn grunted.
As expected, Ergou was dissatisfied and secretly went to the Hua family.
How could anyone enter the Hua family, he didn't even see Hua Feng's face, and was directly blasted away by the gate.
The people of the secret guard brought him back, and Lu Tingxiu talked to him once. Ergou flatters with his mouth, but his eyes can't deceive people.
Ergou is a person who doesn't give up until he reaches his goal, can he really get rid of it when he sends it away? It doesn't matter if anything else, but the secret of Heizhuo Mountain must never be exposed, but if she really wants to do something black-hearted, Xia Qiu can't pass her own level.
Outside the city gates, an inconspicuous carriage is parked around the corner.
Xia Qiu walked over and lifted the curtain to see Ergou sitting quietly.
Seeing Xia Qiulai, Ergou had surprise in his eyes, and then asked curiously: "You are the sister who saved me?" ”
Xia Qiu was stunned, and the second dog sitting in the car was quiet and shy, as if he had changed someone.
Ergou jumped out of the carriage, and without saying a word, he kowtowed to her three times, "Thank you sister for your life, you not only saved me but also sent me to reunite with my family, and my great kindness is beyond repayment." ”
Until the carriage disappeared at the end of the road, Xia Qiu was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses.
Lu Tingxiu waited for her at the gate of the city, and explained while returning to the city: "I found a master who understands hypnosis and hypnotized the memory of Ergou. He has been a beggar since he was a child, but he is actually a poor man who is devoured by desire. I contacted a family who had lost their own family, and they treated the two dogs as if they had already done so. ”
As for Ergou who regards Xia Qiu as a benefactor, it is nothing more than Lu Tingxiu made up a story, saying that he was injured and rescued by Xia Qiu after being separated from his family, and even kindly sponsored him to go home.
"You don't have to worry, he's going to have a fresh start."
Lu Tingxiu arranged carefully, and Xia Qiu naturally had nothing to worry about, "How is the sling repair in Phoenix Mountain?" ”
"It's going well." Lu Tingxiu paused, and then said, "It's that Li Jingxuan is probably a little upset. ”
Xia Qiu was surprised, "Miss Jin is here so soon?" ”
Lu Tingxiu said euphemistically: "Miss Jin is very enthusiastic and lively. ”
Xia Qiu stroked his forehead, and could only beg him for more blessings.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the first batch of grain in Hexian County had been negotiated, which was 30% cheaper than the price in Liangzhou in front of him, and the freight cost was also saved a lot. If everything goes well, it is much more cost-effective than buying grain from Liangzhou.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the sling fortification is also coming to an end.
As soon as Xia Qiu came back, she saw a shadow pounce suddenly, "Sister Xia, I miss you." ”
Qiao Biwei smiled brightly and hugged her directly, while Qiao Yewei stood under the eaves with a cold face.
Qiao Bi is slightly carving, she should have come back a long time ago. Xia Qiu has been worried for a while, and she is still thinking about whether to answer.
"I didn't find the scope of my search, and I saw that the time was still early to help Sister Ye Wei, so I came back slowly." Qiao Bi blinked slightly, playfully teasing Guan Zi, "Sister Ye Wei has found out." ”
Xia Qiu walked through the courtyard, climbed the stairs and stood in front of Qiao Yewei, and said with a smile: "Sister Ye Wei, what did you find?" ”
Qiao Ye was slightly expressionless, and turned around to return to the room.
Xia Qiu was not used to it, and raised his heels and came in.
Qiao Ye's face was slightly tense, and he took the lead in sitting down at the table, "I didn't find Yu Fenghuai and them, but I found something else." ”
What can be found in the deep mountains where people are extinct must not be simple things, Xia and Autumn listen to it.
Even if he can control the beast, Qiao Yewei still went around in the mountains for a long time, and once when looking for a water source, he accidentally found that the water by the stream was dirty, and even the surrounding grass and trees were withering.
She followed the source of the sewage and found that there was a secret post near a hill, and there were more than one.
