Luo Qing reached out and stroked their usual table, which was only covered with a thin layer of ash.

Her heart moved slightly, it should be when her brother took someone to Rongzhou to go home to rest.

They agreed that there would be no one in this family, only the two of them, so she asked Qingxing and Hongmei to go back with the two family members.

But Qingxing and Hongmei have a lot of scruples, and the two family members even came on the orders of the old lady, and they didn't dare to leave alone.

"Go ahead, I'm alone, there are so many people in this village, I don't have to live alone and have an accident."

Qingxing is not very relieved.

"But the courtyard where the girl lives is still a long way from the place where the villagers gather, not to mention that it will inevitably take a lot of tidying up here, so let the slaves and maids stay."

Luo Qing shook his head.

"I'll clean it up myself, so let's go."

A few people couldn't resist Luo Qing, so they had to leave first.

It's not that Luo Qing is stubborn, and it's not that she blindly supports her, it's just that they have traveled all the way, except for the homeless people, this town and village are quite stable, even if there are mobs, they can't hit here, and they don't dare to attack the village easily, otherwise they would have been sent by the imperial court to suppress it, and there are bandits on the remote mountain road at most.

Luo Qing took a closer look at the room, and then went to her room to change her clothes, the previous clothes were a little small, and her legs and feet were short, but fortunately, she could still stuff them.

After changing her clothes, she began to boil water and clean up the house.

It's just that the water is about to boil, and she fetches water to clean it up, but there is a knock on the door outside.

Luo Qing was puzzled, and he didn't dare to open the door easily, so he only asked inside the door, "I don't know who is outside?" ”

"It's me." The man outside answered.

Who you are and how do I know?

Luo Qing frowned slightly, but the words he said were enough to give face, "Can the eldest brother report his name?" ”

The people outside don't know why, and they talk very much...... 2. ......"

Luo Qing lived alone, and in the end she was still a little frightened, "It's late at night, it's okay, big brother, please go back." ”

The man outside seemed to be in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Ergou, I'm Ergou, I'll splash you with water, do you remember?" ”

Of course she remembers!

The appearance of her brother coming out for her is still vivid.

Later, these two dogs really didn't bully themselves, but he was also very noisy at that time, and sometimes she ran into him when she went out, and he must have been pestered by him to say a lot of things.

Fortunately, this person's nature is not bad, and later he did change, and on the day she left, he came to see herself off.

But after all, it was late at night, and Luo Qing was still on guard.

She only opened the door a crack, and saw that it was really two dogs, and it had been two years, and there was not much change, but it was a little taller.

She hid in the door and asked the second dog outside, "I don't know what you are looking for me so late?" ”

When Ergou saw her, a face that had been tanned by her perennial farming was faintly red.

He stuttered again.

"I ...... Outside...... I saw that the lanterns in your house were lit again, and I thought that a family came to our village today, and I heard that the pomp was quite big, so I wondered if you were coming back again? ”

"Before, my brother also came back, didn't he?"

Ergou nodded violently, obviously, he was very happy to see Luo Qing today.

Luo Qing could see his smile, and felt that she was the same as the second dog she knew, and she was still so straightforward.

She was a little less vigilant, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little more real.

"When I first came back, the house was not cleaned yet, so I didn't invite you into the house to sit. It's so late, I wonder why you've come looking for me? ”

You can't just visit late at night just for pleasantries.

"That's right." Speaking of business, Ergou can be regarded as not stammering, "After you came, I happened to see two men, who seemed to be following you, I didn't think much about it, and then I saw them guarding outside the house where you lived, I felt that something was wrong, and I came here to try my luck and see if you came back to live." ”

Luo Qing frowned, "There is such a thing?" ”

Ergou nodded vigorously, "You have to be careful when you hurry, although there is no riot on our side, but if we go forward, we have to pass through a mountainous area, which is deserted, and I heard that many people have encountered bandits there." ”

"I see, Ergou, thank you for talking to me about this." Luo Qing opened the door a little at the moment and saluted the two dogs.

Ergou didn't understand these red tape, he wanted to learn from those scholars but felt that it was wrong, and he didn't seem to have enough momentum to give a salute if he wanted to hug his fists, so he had to wave his hand, so that Luo Qing didn't have to say thank you.

After sending the second dog away, Luo Qing didn't dare to delay, put out the fire in the stove, poured out the hot water that was originally made, and everything was put in place, so he hurriedly went to the other village where the Luo family stayed with a lantern.

Qingxing and Hongmei were very surprised when they saw her, and hurriedly welcomed her into the house.

She didn't say much, and hurriedly whispered to the two of them, "Someone just came to look for me, saying that I saw two sneaky people following us, both of them are men, this matter should not make a big fuss, and it has not yet been determined, you can find two family members to accompany you, go and take a look." ”

At this time, Mrs. Luo had already rested, but Ming'er was going to hurry early in the morning, and they must have discussed a charter early, but it was not necessarily that Ergou had made a mistake, so they had to confirm it first.

It didn't take long for the green apricots and red plums to return.

"How?" Luo Qing asked hurriedly.

Qingxing's face was not very good, and she lowered her head and replied, "There are indeed two people guarding outside, and I can't see it clearly at night, but there are many of us, so we are alarmed, let them run away, and ask the girl to punish them." ”

Luo Qing never cared about this, only waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that this time I will inevitably make a noise with the old lady." ”

Being woken up in the middle of the night is not very good-tempered, not to mention that Mrs. Luo is still old, and this time she is wearing a coat and sitting on a stool with a black face looking at Luo Qing who is standing in the room.

Luo Qing had no choice but to tell Mrs. Luo about the discovery.

Mrs. Luo didn't have a good breath and said, "It's not necessarily that they are following us, maybe they are staring at the master's house?" ”

Luo Qing's attitude is becoming more and more deferential, "Grandmother is right, but it is not very peaceful now, and it is always good to be careful." ”

Mrs. Luo is a person who can carry it clearly, she stretched out her hand and twisted her eyebrows, and sighed, "You can't let this big family keep bothering others, right?" ”

Luo Qing thought for a while and said, "Grandmother, why don't you listen to Xiao Wu's humble opinion?" ”

Old Mrs. Luo closed her eyes and raised her spirit, "You say." ”

Luo Qing knew that this matter was thankless, but so many people's lives were here, and these maids and maids had entrusted their lives to their families, and they also had to live for them.

"If you send someone to report to the official tomorrow in the morning, delay for a day, but it is safe, the government has seen the name of our father, and I think it will send two officers and soldiers to escort us at that time, and it can also suppress those people who are active."

She saw that Mrs. Luo was getting more and more impatient, but she continued to speak.

"Luo Qing, the owner of this village, looks at it and is quite easy to talk, if you talk to him, he will take us in for a day."

"Even if this compartment is down, your great-grandmother can't afford to wait for it!"

Luo Qing also wanted to say that he was stopped by Mrs. Luo's raised hand.

"We also bring a lot of family members, let's be more vigilant tomorrow, and I don't want to mention this matter again!"

Luo Qing couldn't persuade Mrs. Luo, so she had to say, "Then you have to let people bring some weapons at hand, those thieves are afraid that they have knives." ”

"This sword is to be reported to the yamen, where do you say to buy it? Let's go buy some sturdy sticks. After Mrs. Luo finished the order, she rubbed her temples and said, "I'm too old to bear such a toss, so you can go back and rest." ”

It was useless to say more, Luo Qing confessed to Mrs. Luo, bowed again, and then turned around and left the house where Mrs. Luo rested.

Luo Qing was still not worried about this matter, and after returning to his house, he turned around and instructed Qingxing, "Grandmother sent someone to the city to buy sticks, you look at the person, give a benefit, and let them help me bring a letter to Lin Dianshi of the Yamen." ”

As she spoke, Hongmei had prepared a pen and paper for her, and she picked up the pen and wrote down the events of the day roughly, and at the end attached the names of him and his brother.

She only hoped that after mentioning her brother's name, Lin Dianshi could help her.

The next day, because the family who had gone to the city to buy sticks had not returned, they had to delay for an hour.

Luo Qing was worried, and only hoped that Lin Dianshi would arrive in time with someone, but coincidentally, just when they were packing up and planning to go on the road, Lin Dianshi came.

As soon as Mrs. Luo looked at Lin Dianshi, she knew that it was Luo Qing's good deed, and glanced at her unhappily, but she still greeted Lin Dianshi with a smile.

Lin Dianshi has only had a few encounters with Luo Qing, and he didn't recognize her for a while and a half after this farewell, but he only remembered it after he sent four yamen servants dressed in yamen service to send people away.

Luo Qing actually didn't expect how many officials could follow them, but he just remembered a deterrent effect, and the bandits and bandits could also be feared.

Her plan is really good, and when she arrived at the place where others said that there were often bandits and bandits, she was still safe and sound, and she walked through safely.

The four officials saw that the people were almost delivered, so they said, "There are often thieves on the hillside where we just passed, and now that we have passed that place, it should be fine, and you should be able to get on the boat after walking for half a day, and we will go back to meet the lord for his life." ”

The four of them gave them a ride, and there was no reason not to give them some benefits.

Mrs. Luo gave Mother Lin a look, and Mother Lin understood, and stepped forward to stuff the ingot of silver.

Mrs. Luo said politely, "Accompany us through this experience, you have worked hard, be careful on the way back." ”

An official sent the silver into his sleeve and waved his hand quite arrogantly, "Old lady, don't worry, those thieves don't dare to be enemies of the imperial court, we have reported it, and we are waiting for someone from above to send someone to suppress the bandits." ”

Mrs. Luo said, "I have worked hard for a few bad masters, and I hope that a few bad masters will return the people to peace as soon as possible." ”

Several officials said a few more polite words to Mrs. Luo, and then turned to leave, but what they didn't know was that after they turned to leave, the smile on Mrs. Luo's face disappeared, and she instructed the groom to continue to hurry with an expressionless face.

But before the wheels of their carriage had turned forward two wheels, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the carriage that had just moved was intercepted, accompanied by a scream from the groom.
