Chapter 62: It's Dark
Luoyang, Yuefu.
White flour steamed buns, clear water cabbage. The good name is to give Mrs. Bai Xiuwen of Yuefu to nourish her body.
But in fact, the food is getting worse day by day, and there is no meat taste at all.
Bai Xiuwen's mood is also getting worse day by day.
On the other hand, Lebi, may have something to do with his childhood begging, although he has no memory, but he vaguely doesn't care about the unlucky status quo, so even the maid doesn't respect him...... Phew, the maids still respect him very much.
Lebi is more idle, and he is also very easy-going, he has no temper for everyone, including his subordinates, and he complains at most when he is annoyed, and he doesn't need to be coaxed to restore himself to the original state, and he should eat and drink.
He looks average, but because he usually doesn't have a temper with his subordinates, after Lebi was unlucky, when his subordinates saw him, they still had the same attitude - a little respect.
Eating or something, what comes to Le Bi's hands is often better than the well-known "most poisonous woman" Bai Xiuwen, but Le Pi thinks that Bai Xiuwen is his own mother, so when he eats, he will divide Bai Xiuwen in half.
After Bai Xiuwen suffered the blow of the status gap, he gradually regained the humble feeling he had when he was performing in the Qinglou in the past, and deeply realized that his life was just a thin rope in Le Qusen's hand, which broke with a slight tug, and the person was gone.
In the middle of the night, Bai Xiuwen often couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.
When her temper comes up, she will especially want to hear it, but where does this cold winter come from.
Besides, in the summer, Bai Xiuwen, who was sick with wealth, always knew that it was noisy, and he had to go down to people to catch it in the hot summer, and when the courtyard was clean, Bai Xiuwen would be satisfied.
The flames are scorching, and there are many people suffering from heat stroke.
"Mother, eat." A bowl contains a handful of pickles and dried radish, and Lebi eats porridge and steamed buns.
Bai Xiuwen had a cold face.
She hadn't eaten meat for more than half a month.
Bai Xiuwen was arrogant: "I don't like to eat pickles. ”
She loves meat.
Lebi continued to eat, wiped his mouth at the end, and went back to his room to read the "Zhihu Ye" that he didn't like to read the most on weekdays.
"What's so good about pickles." Bai Xiuwen muttered, squinted at the few small pickles that Le Pie had left behind, and finally ate them.!
Over the past few days, she has thought a lot.
From having a memory, thinking of the present.
Sixteen years, she is often afraid, afraid that Le Qusen has found out that Le Pi is not biological, and is afraid that Le Qusen will kill her.
But occasionally thinking about the blessings she has enjoyed in the past few years, Bai Xiuwen feels that she is not at a loss.
In the final analysis, she is just a woman in a green building, and being able to become the wife of a national teacher is really fatal.
Before hearing the news that Le Qusen had become a national teacher, she couldn't imagine that she would one day become the wife of a national teacher.
After hearing the news that Le Qusen had become a national teacher, Bai Xiuwen often stroked his lower abdomen, always thinking of a non-existent child in his head - a cute and smart boy.
Le Pi, who returned to his room to read, sighed deeply, he was not the material for reading......

It's approaching evening.
After staying for a while, Li'er was cold all over.
The tributes are laid out, and the paper money is burned.
Li'er was quiet for a long time, staring at the tombstone of her master, He Yi, and didn't know what she was thinking.
"Master, people are watching the sky, Bai Xiuwen has suffered retribution."
The first sentence is this, and then he babbled about what happened to the young master recently.
"The master is still as busy as you were when you were alive, the young master is very powerful now, and he will definitely become the head of the family in the future."
Most of the tributes brought were the dim sum that Mrs. Le He Yi loved to eat before her death.
"Master, you eat, Li'er came to visit you, the cook only let me take these, but it's better than last year." There were small wrinkles at the corners of Li'er's eyes, and when she smiled, the wrinkles became more obvious, "Li'er often thinks about what the master said before his death, big people and small people. ”
added some paper money to the fire, Li'er looked tired, and said: "Li'er now feels that whether it is a big person or a small person, Li'er hopes that the master can accompany the young master to grow up." It was Li'er who was stupid, thinking about herself at the beginning, and casually answered some nonsense. ”
The place was empty, and Liel was alone, which seemed abrupt.
"It's time for the young master to marry a wife, Li'er may have the opportunity to take care of the young master again in the future......"
When she left, Lil said she would come back.

North German Town.
Cheng Shou is back.
A cart of wood for tables and chairs.
"Brother Cheng, didn't you say, it's your house in front, it's so close, why didn't you make a sound?" The little brother who traveled with him was a timber seller, and the donkey cart that pulled the timber was also his.
How did Cheng Shou know what was going on: "Maybe it's too early, the forest is too big, brother, don't look at the old and stable now, sometimes you can hear the wolf howling at night!" ”
Thinking of the deposit paid by Mr. Yang and the negotiated delivery price, Cheng Shou couldn't help laughing, and said happily: "Brother, it's not easy to come here, I can't eat breakfast, at noon, I will ask my mother-in-law to make you a meal of white noodles." ”
"Okay, let's hurry?"
It's fast, but it's not much faster.
But as I walked, I arrived at the town of North Germany, and when I got closer, it seemed that there were still people guarding the road.
"Brother Cheng, is this a roadblock?"
"No, I've been in Beide Town since I was a child, and I've never seen anyone collect road money." Cheng Shou frowned and looked closely, he didn't know those people at all.
The closer he got closer, the little brother whispered next to Cheng Shou: "This is not necessarily, I recently heard that some places recruit more soldiers than in previous years." ”
Until they entered Beide Town, the few people guarding the road did not have any other suspicious movements, they did not block the road, and Cheng Shou and the little brother would not take the initiative to ask if they were bored.
The town was in an extreme silence, and Cheng Shou was not used to it, looking left and right, as if he could only be sure that he had made a mistake when he saw someone.
Cheng Shou recognized, frozen rivers, bare branches, and potholed mud floors...... Uncle Wang's house is in tatters, and Aunt Lin's house is the best in the whole town...... What's wrong with Aunt Lin's family?
"Stop, little brother."
Cheng Shou looked puzzled, and the little brother turned his head to look at the blackened mansion and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"No, it's fine."
Go to the carpenter's shop, put the wood down, and then go home and ask, what's wrong?
Cheng Shou panicked.
The little brother heard Cheng Shou say that it was okay, so he continued to drive the donkey cart, and the moment his head turned back, he seemed to catch a glimpse of someone following in the distance behind him, and then looked back to see the emptiness.
Wrong, wrong.
The little brother knows that you can't scare yourself as a man. Even if the silence of this town is terrifying, even if Cheng Shou, who is walking beside him, looks more and more like a bandit, he can't scare himself.
"God forbid." The little brother muttered.
"What?" Cheng Shou didn't hear clearly, "What's wrong, little brother?" ”
"No, no, no, I'm just a little hungry." The little brother spoke badly and almost bit his tongue.
The same uneasiness made Cheng Shou and the little brother speed up their actions, and they found large black marks on the road, slightly reddened.
The little brother asked, "Brother Cheng, is there a dyeing workshop in your town?" ”
Following the little brother's line of sight, Cheng Shou also saw the black traces, and he motioned the little brother to go around: "There is no dyeing workshop, but Li Sangui's family usually helps everyone dye and dye cloth, and sometimes collects a little money." ”
Carpenter's shop.
Holding the donkey cart, Cheng Shou stared at the wooden door with a big hole in a daze, and from the hole, he could see the scattered tools in the shop.
If I'm not mistaken, Cheng Shou always puts the tools in order.
"What's going on here?! Second brother! Little Three! ”
Saving the lock, Cheng Shou pushed the door open and went in, the little brother didn't dare to enter, for fear of falling into the trap of the bandits.
Brother Cheng is a good person, but other people in the town may not be, maybe they just want to catch someone to make human meat buns......
In winter, the sun sets early, and it didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and when the cool wind blew, the little brother only felt that the two tremors almost wanted to go first.
After pondering for a while, the little brother was left alone and panicked, and he opened his mouth to shout Brother Cheng, but he was about to shout, when suddenly someone covered his mouth!
"Hmm!" The little brother struggled for a moment, and before he could react, he fainted.
In the middle of the sound, several people from the Guangyi Society dragged Cheng Shou and the little brother back to the training ground.
Aunt Lin, who was taking care of the unconscious members, peeked through the crack in the door through the door panel, and watched the guys of the Guangyi Society drag the two men in, and secretly thought, "Could it be that they didn't kill them cleanly?" It shouldn't be......"
Aunt Lin's life here is not as good as before, there is nothing at hand that can be illuminated, but she doesn't care, every day, sitting on the bed alone, waiting for the window, the orange sun is slowly falling, and her hair is white.
It was completely dark, and there was not a single star.
