Chapter 255: A Thief's Heart Doesn't Die
Da Niu wanted to store enough firewood for the family for the winter, so he not only took the axe, but also brought the manganese hacksaw that Yun Yao gave him. When Yun Yao found him, he was cutting wood in the woods below the mountain. He planned to cut down two trees directly and drag them home to chop them into firewood and burn them slowly.
Chixin heard the voice from afar, and barked in a low voice. Da Niu raised his head vigilantly, and saw that it was Yun Yao who brought someone here, so he hurriedly put down the saw and greeted him.
"What are you doing here?" As he spoke, he took off his fur hat and handed it to Yun Yao, motioning for her to put it on.
"I'm not cold." Yun Yao let out a white breath and pushed the hat to Da Niu, but he directly buckled it on his head with his backhand.
"Wear it, be careful if the wind blows and you have a headache."
Seeing that Da Niu was still steaming all over his body after some exercise, it must not be cold, so Yun Yao did not refuse his kindness.
Da Niu saw that the big tree was only half sawed, so he had to look around and find a leeward place for Yun Yao to stand.
"It's not safe in the village right now, so you'd better come out less."
After the big bull finished speaking, he arranged the guards who came with him to stand guard around him, and picked up the saw himself and went to work again.
Yun Yao was originally bored at home alone, so she came out to see what Da Niu was doing, but now that she has found someone, she is still arranged to watch on the side, isn't it still just as boring?
Not only was she bored, but the guards were all around her, watching the oxen cut down the trees, even more boring than her.
"Why don't you go and help? Let's cut down a few more trees and bring some to other people's homes. She consulted with the leader of the guards.
Those few people also felt a little embarrassed to stand and watch others work, anyway, everyone was together, what danger could there be in such a small village? Let's go, cut down the tree.
A few people picked up axes from the ground, took turns to cut down another big tree, and some people went to help the big ox with the saw, and the edge of the grove immediately became lively.
Xueyin looked at it with a smile on her face, and soon couldn't hold back and called Chixin over, and took out her own snacks and fed them to Chixin.
Yun Yao stood outside for a while and felt cold, so she simply ran over to help pick up the dead branches that fell when cutting down the tree, Xueyin said that she was going to help, but she threw the branch out and told Chixin to pick it up, and played crazy with it.
The originally quiet village was much more noisy because of their presence, and this noise spread to the mountains and aroused the ideas of people with good intentions.
Yao Xuan sent people to kill Yun Yao several times, but he was unsuccessful, and he also caused the witch library and the white bird to be severely punished. He didn't dare to disobey Lexin's order, and still sent others over to continue to search for Yun Yao.
Originally, Yun Yao's whereabouts were still easy to find, basically fixed in the Fang family, Lijia Village and her own grange, and after Xueyin could take people to teleport, Yao Xuan's people were completely confused.
I just heard that she had returned to Fang's house, but in the blink of an eye, she couldn't find anyone; Only then did she track down to Lijia Village, but before she could do it in the dead of night, she disappeared again. These people had no choice but to leave people in several places to guard them.
The reason why Wu Ku dared to swear in front of Le Xin that he would definitely catch Yun Yao was because his subordinates often reported that they had seen her wherever and where, but they couldn't catch her. He didn't know that Yun Yao could disappear in an instant, he just thought that Xiao Chuhan's people couldn't do it well, so he didn't succeed.
Now that the two sides are at war, Xiao Chuhan is going to regret his marriage again, he is even more unscrupulous in his actions, and arranges all the people he can mobilize in these three places.
Every time Yun Yao appeared, he could see the figure of Da Niu beside him, and these people naturally kept an eye on him, and there were people following him wherever he went.
Yun Yao came back with such a big movement, and it immediately fell into their eyes.
"Boss, these are just a few of them, should we go up and try it? If it happens, it will be a great achievement! A man in gray tightened the knife in his hand and asked quietly.
"No, don't look at the few of them, all of them are elites, and we may not be able to win them alone. If you startle the snake, it will be difficult to catch her in the future. ”
"Let's follow first, find the right opportunity and win it in one fell swoop." The gray-clothed leader lowered his voice and called out to his subordinates, and he shrank behind the rocks again, and then hid and did not move.
These people just snooped from afar, and they didn't have any murderous intentions towards Yun Yao, Xue Yin patronized and played with Chi Xin, and ignored them for a while.
After a while, a few strong men cut down two big trees, cut down the thick branches, tied them up, and dragged the trunks and branches back to Da Niu's house.
After Aunt Osmanthus finished cooking, she had already heard Li Xin say that Da Niu had something to go out and was not at home for the New Year this year. She was a little unhappy in her heart, feeling sorry for her son and resentful of Yun Yao.
Every time she comes back, she has to call her son away, and this big moon does not stop people.
Aunt Osmanthus had the heart to nag a few words, but now Yun Yao is no longer the little village girl who lived in her house at the beginning, and she is now the county lord, and she will no longer let her come nonsense.
Alas, my son is bitter. Aunt Osmanthus took out a piece of lard from the kitchen and made her son's favorite cabbage and meat pie on it. The mother of the child is worried, no matter how the two of them had an awkward quarrel before, Aunt Osmanthus still feels sorry for her son.
The group dragged the firewood back to the village, and the guards who were originally guarding Yun Yao's courtyard also ran over to see the excitement and help, and the small courtyard was in full swing for a while.
Aunt Osmanthus has no shortage of food now, so she hurriedly cooked a pot of hot noodle soup to greet everyone, and let Yun Yao and Xueyin into the house to eat.
Yun Yao looked at this familiar hall and sighed with emotion in her heart for a while.
At the beginning, she came to the Great Wilderness in a daze, but thanks to Li Xin and Aunt Osmanthus who were willing to take her in, she did not suffer from cold and starvation. Here she also met Da Niu, Er Niu, and two good friends, Qingqing and Xia He.
Lijia Village is her second hometown, but unfortunately she should rarely have the opportunity to come back in the future.
Yun Yao ate the food cooked by Aunt Osmanthus, although it lacked taste and taste, it still ate very deliciously.
After Yun Yao finished eating a bowl of rice, she took the little girl from Aunt Osmanthus and whispered to her: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's all because of me, so that your family can't be reunited during the New Year." Don't worry, I will definitely help you find a good daughter-in-law and come back to honor you with Da Niu. ”
The daughter-in-law or something has always been Aunt Osmanthus's heart knot. In the past, she fell out with Yun Yao for Qiuyue, and she didn't regret it, but she didn't have the face to say it. Hearing Yun Yao say this thoughtful sentence, Aunt Osmanthus felt much better.
She looked at her son who was eating with her head down, and also lowered her voice and said to Yun Yao: "I see that the snow sound around you is good, if you can promise it to my family, my aunt will be satisfied in my life." ”
Hey, Xueyin is not a good match for Da Niu. Yun Yao snickered and didn't dare to say anything, only nodded perfunctorily: "Look at their fate." ”
The two of them opened their mouths, and their hearts were much more relaxed. Yun Yao helped feed Xiao Niuniu some food, and then handed her back to Aunt Osmanthus.
Da Niu went back to the house to pack his luggage, but Yun Yao didn't follow, but called Li Xin aside. She took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from her bag and handed it over, saying, "Uncle Village Chief, we may not come back for a long time when we go out this time, and this silver is placed here for you, and you can spend it if the village needs it." ”
Li Xin was startled when he saw the face value, and hurriedly excused himself: "It's too much, where do you need so much silver!" ”
"Take it." Yun Yao insisted on stuffing the silver ticket into his hand. Now she is a little rich woman, Fang Liangyu is still helping her in business, and such a little money is just a drop in the bucket for her.
"After surviving the winter, we will have to buy seeds and farm tools and raise some livestock in the spring of next year, all of which will require silver. I'm not here with Da Niu, so I can only ask you to bother more. ”
"It should be, it should be, it's my business." Li Xin carefully put away the silver ticket close to him, and said to Yun Yao with emotion: "Thank you to the goddess for bringing the county lord to our small village." If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to live this winter. ”
It is no wonder that Li Xin sighed that in the cold winter of Xiliang, it is impossible to farm, and the farmers can only make ends meet after paying the grain. If it weren't for Xiao Chuhan's exhaustion, relying on the harvest in the field, I am afraid it would be difficult to even make a living.
Now that Xiliang is at war with Shenwang City, not only will he not be able to get relief food, but he will also consume a lot of materials, and the life of the people will be even more difficult. Yun Yao didn't dare to tell Li Xin about this, she could only help with this, Xiliang has a large population, even if she has the money to buy grain from modern times, she doesn't have the strength to get it.
The big cow didn't have much to do, and it didn't take long for it to be packed. After saying goodbye to his father and mother and Erniu one by one, he took his big black horse and beckoned Yun Yao to get into the carriage of the Fang family.
The group left Lijia Village and returned to Fang's house the same way, and Da Niu couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him on the horse, so that the gray-clothed man didn't dare to follow, so he had to watch them go away from a distance.
"What to do? How did they leave so quickly? A man in gray asked anxiously.
"It's okay, they can't go fast. Seeing that the carriage should have come from Fang's house, let's follow the rut and see where they go, and then inform the brothers to do it together. The gray-clothed leader groaned, calmly ordered his subordinates to gather, leaving only one person to squat here, and the others followed to Qiyun Town.
Yun Yao didn't know how many tails there were behind her, she opened the thick cotton curtain to look out the window, and asked the big cow outside the car worriedly: "Big cow, it's so cold this year, can you still stand it?" No one will freeze to death, right? ”
Da Niu has also been worrying about the weather, but he didn't expect it to be Lexin.
He shook his head and muffled, "I don't know." Young people should be fine, but the elderly and children will not have a good time. It's okay not to get sick, but if you do, I'm afraid you won't be able to get through it. ”
has been a nurse for several years, and Yun Yao really sees too many elderly people and children with colds in winter. Although the cold is not a serious illness in modern times, in this great wilderness of lack of medical treatment, I am afraid it can really drag people to death.
It seems that she can't leave in a hurry, and she has to go to Hyundai to get some medicine to prevent colds.
