Chapter Seventy-Three: Recuperation

The small village on the side of the official road is not a wealthy place, and the houses of the village chief's family can barely be said to be passable, and among the many clay and straw-roofed houses, only their house is built of bricks.

Qi Zhang rode a horse and walked ahead, he knew that Wen Yu was not very good at dealing with people, so he took over the task of talking to the village chief.

With some silver, he asked the village chief to vacate two empty rooms in his house, and boiled hot water and ginger soup, so that the two children could go to the cold after they had been washed.

As for the clothes, they didn't let the village chief prepare them, and the clothes Xie Huai'an changed were Wen Yu's own, although they were bigger, but after building them with scissors, they could still make do with them.

And Ah Yu is even simpler.

Before Wen Yu came back from Zecheng, he also prepared a gift for Ah Yu, and the clothes and jewelry were all bought according to the latest fashion in Zecheng, and it happened to be used at this time.

There was no one around to serve, and the little girl spent a lot more time in the room, and even Xie Huai'an, who had changed after her, had already come out, and there was no movement on her side!

After running in the rain for a long time before, Xie Huai'an was free now, so he washed his hair together, and after he changed his clothes in the room, he still held a handkerchief in his hand to wipe his hair, and his movements were not very fine, so he fooled around twice, and when his hair was half dry, he put down his hand.

The two children I met today, one is my own family, and the other is the child of the world's friends.

If you change people, even if there is any reprimand, it may be towards your own family, after all, when people always treat people who are closer to them, the standards pursued will become more stringent.

Of course, Wen Yu is not that kind of person.

Ah Yu hadn't cleaned up yet, and now there was only Xie Huai'an in front of him, so he asked directly.

"I know you, you are the child of the Xie family, you can't stay at home well, why did you bring Ah Yu to such a wilderness, what do you think?"

Indiscriminately, only bent on believing that their children are not wrong, and all the faults are outsiders, there are still many people like this in the world, and they are often very unpleasant.

In the face of such questioning, Xie Huai was not very happy, he knew that what he had done in the past two days was indeed wrong and missing, but this uncle of Ah Yu obviously didn't know anything, so why did he conclude that it was his fault as soon as he came up.

He raised his head and looked at the face that was somewhat similar to Ah Yu, and the original question inexplicably disappeared.

And for the sake of him being an elder, he doesn't care about him.

About all the elders who feel sorry for their children are such a virtue!

Xie Huai'an suddenly thought of his mother, whenever he had something wrong outside, no matter what his father and brother thought, his mother would always stand firmly on his side, always thinking that someone else had brought him bad, and he was absolutely not wrong.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, they are talking about such feelings!

Xie Huai'an persuaded himself and was about to answer Wen Yu's question, when the eldest son of the village chief on the side suddenly walked over and asked resignedly: "Your noble, do you need us to clean up the clothes you changed before?" ”

In the past, it was not that no one else came to spend the night, and those rich sons and brothers were usually extremely generous, and the clothes that were worn once said not to be don't, and they were still new after washing, and they could be exchanged for a lot of money when they were sent to the pawnshop in the city.

But his father said that no matter what you do, you have to ask these boys and brothers first, otherwise something really goes wrong, and they will never be able to please them.

Therefore, even if it is a trivial matter such as packing up clothes, he has to ask in advance.

The expression on Xie Huai'an's face froze, the three pieces of gold he had picked up on the mountain earlier were still in the pile of dirty clothes, and he couldn't let these people clean up the clothes.

He didn't even care about Wen Yu's question, hurriedly dropped a sentence, forgot to take something, and ran back to the room where he had taken a bath before.

He was relieved when he put the three pieces of gold back into his arms.

Whether the gold is worth anything is secondary, but he wants to reveal the news of the gold mine to the imperial court, and these few pieces of gold picked up from the mountains are the best evidence, if they are lost, it is difficult to say.

When he came out of the house again, the ginger soup that Qi Zhang had ordered had already been cooked.

Xie Huai'an held the enamel bowl and drank ginger soup with a clatter, and Wen Yu on the side did not continue to ask him.

This kind of thing is also exquisite, and you can't always catch a question and ask it one after another.

Soon Ah Yu also changed her clothes and came out, her hair was draped over her shoulders, and small droplets of water were still dripping down, and a few more traces of water droplets soon appeared on the lotus-colored skirt on her body.

Xie Huai'an stuffed the enamel bowl to Qi Zhang, took a handkerchief himself, and came to Ah Zhang's side, carefully wiping her hair.

Ah Yu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to take the handkerchief in Xie Huai'an's hand.

Unsuccessfully, he looked at the young man beside him suspiciously.

Wen Yu frowned, and was about to step forward to separate Xie Huai'an and Ah Yu, but heard Xie Huai'an say: "Uncle Wen Shi, you let me say a few words with Ah Yu, these words are extremely important, even a matter of life and death, and they can't be listened to by others." ”

The young man's eyes seemed to hide a fire, as if he vowed to burn out the darkness of the world.

However, Wen Yu didn't see so many things, he only knew that this person's appearance by Ah Yu's side was particularly infuriating, which made him want to drive people away very much.

However, before he could make a move, he was stopped by Ah Yu.

The little girl tugged at his sleeve and asked cautiously, "Fourth uncle, can I listen to what he has to say first?" ”

If it is placed on the battlefield, it has to be called a defection.

Wen Yu sighed, but the person who defected was the little girl of their family, what else could he do?

Naturally, let it go!

Xie Huai'an pushed Ah Yu into the empty room next to him, handed her the handkerchief in his hand, and then turned around and went to the kitchen to bring a new bowl of ginger soup, and then closed the door under Wen Yu's angry gaze.

Ah Yu took the ginger soup in his hand, she had always disliked the taste of ginger soup, and seeing that the ginger soup was still very hot, she was ready to wait for it to cool down a little more, and then pour it down. Before that, she looked at Xie Huai'an and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything that needs to be said so carefully?" ”

Xie Huai'an felt that he was not careful at the moment, he leaned into Ah Yu's ear and said softly: "I am going to report the matter of the gold mine in that mountain to the imperial court, and someone will definitely come to you to inquire at that time, you just say that you fainted halfway, whether it is to pick up the gold or meet the two of them, you have to say that you don't know!" ”

"But why! I know everything, do I? The atmosphere created by Xie Huai'an was too good, and Ah Yu couldn't help but learn from his appearance and asked in a low voice.
