A light like a bean can't illuminate a huge house at all.

The winter melon and gourd stared wide-eyed at the four children sitting or lying on the opposite side.

The eight little eyes on the other side also looked at them timidly, looking at each other like kittens and big dogs.

Zhong Manlang hadn't woken up yet, so he handed over the four children to the winter melon and gourd and went back to his room to sleep.

At this time, the snoring is bursting, and even the landslide and tsunami will never wake up.

"These are all grandfather's?" The winter melon thief asked awkwardly, unable to hide the surprise in his tone: "I'm obedient, two men and two women are so neat." ”

Hulu's white eyes shone brightly, and he sneered: "I advise you to stop by the pork stall tomorrow morning when you go to buy vegetables." ”

"What are you going to do there?" Winter melon is unknown: "Do you want to buy meat?" ”

"I wanted you to go there and ask if there were any pigs' heads." Hulu Road.

"What do you want a pig's head for?" The winter melon is completely blinded.

"I'll give you a change in head!" Hulu said through gritted teeth.

"You're calling me stupid again!" Winter melon is aggrieved and angry.

"Aren't you stupid?" Hulu asked rhetorically: "How can these children be grandfather's?" You don't know what kind of bloodline our grandfather has, look at these children, which one has curly hair, a high nose bridge, and deep eyes?! ”

"Yes, no." Winter melon consciously took care of the loss, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "I think my grandfather should have had his own child a long time ago, so I was a little anxious." ”

"Then you can't just scratch it!" The gourd hates the winter melon and is not a refined melon, just a fool.

The youngest of these children was only two or three years old, and the eldest was no more than five years old, probably because they were frightened, so they were all frightened and tightened, and they didn't say anything no matter how they asked.

"When the grandfather came back, he stuffed these children to us, and he didn't say a word," Donggua's mind was full of question marks at this time: "Do you have to keep them in the house from now on?" ”

"Raising?!" The gourd's eyebrows were raised: "What do you raise?!" ”

Without waiting for the winter melon to answer, the gourd exploded like a whip: "The things sent by the Wei family have been almost defeated by the grandfather, and the child is sick and has no money to treat, so he casually threw dozens of taels to others." The old man died and had no money to bury him, so he casually had dozens of taels.

This is still little, in August, Cao joined the army and died in the border area, only the old mother and young son were left in the family, and the grandfather ran thousands of miles to send a thousand taels of silver to others to make a living.

This is because Cao joined the army and was once a subordinate of the old man, and he was still able to give it.

But two months ago, the Mi family was dismissed and exiled, and the grandfather helped to make points and send plates, and spent 3,000 taels to pay zero.

It's because when the master of the Mi family was serving in Longxi, he ordered people to restrain the bones.

Last month, Master Cong returned to his hometown, he said that he was a rare clean official, and the family did not even have enough money to hire a carriage, so he simply bought one for others, and prepared coils and clothes, and spent hundreds of taels before and after.

Now the silver in the house is less than 1,000 taels, and you still want to add four more mouths?! ”

"Then why didn't you persuade Grandpa at that time?" Winter melon said: "Anyway, don't you keep all the money in the house?" ”

"How can I persuade you?" The gourd monster screamed: "He is the master, I am the servant, and I can only obey what the master wants to do." It's a big deal that I still live like before, and I'm not poor. ”

After saying that, he twisted his waist and walked out, and Donggua hurriedly shouted: "You can't leave me alone, I won't coax the child." ”

"And you know how to cook?" The gourd turned his face, and the black-eyed kernel was no longer visible at all.

Winter melon hurriedly said: "That's good, that's good, you go and cook!" I'll just look at it. ”

Hulu went to the kitchen to boil rice porridge for a few children, and warmed up a few steamed buns at dinner.

The meat buns he made were the same as his own, white and fat, round and not in the middle of winter, but delicious and delicious.

The children were obviously hungry and reached for the buns.

The winter melon and gourd were afraid that they would choke, so they had to bring everything they ate to a high place, and each person was given a bun to eat with rice porridge.

"My God, where did Grandpa pick up these four little demons?" Hulu looked at these children, stuffed the whole bun into his mouth and chewed it, and couldn't help but sigh.

"These children must have suffered a lot," Donggua said sympathetically, "You can see that they have bruises on their hands and feet, and they must have been tied up before." ”

"Alas," Hulu sighed faintly, "Our grandfather's nosy problem can't be changed in this life." ”

Zhong Manlang woke up after a good night's sleep and remembered the four children he brought back yesterday.

He was drunk last night, and he didn't notice how wrong those two people were, he just thought they were two people who were greedy for a small bargain.

After entering the city, there were a lot of people coming and going at Jackie Chan's place, and the two people slipped away from the car while he was unprepared.

It wasn't until he saw that there were actually four children in the car, and they were tied up, that Zhong Ye realized that there was something wrong with those two people.

However, it was late at night, and he himself was very drunk, and the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated that all those who had titles and official positions were not allowed to drink alcohol and go to court.

So he brought the four children back, let the winter melon and the gourd take care of them, and prepared to send them to the yamen after breakfast today.

Hulu made an extremely hearty breakfast, and without greeting, the winter melon yawned and led the four children out.

Last night he and Hulu divided their labor, and each put two children to sleep.

As a result, the gourd was quiet, and he always woke up and cried from time to time during the two nights he coaxed, and he coaxed this and that, and almost didn't sleep all night.

The clothes worn by these children are not shabby, but they are all a little yellow and thin, not like the children of rich families.

"Those two people are going to the city with children, don't be kidnappers, right?" Winter melon guessed.

"Abductors abduct children are not like this," Hulu said: "Abductors generally only abduct one child at a time, and after they abduct the child, they first take the child to a place where no one is around, even starving, forcing the child to call them father and mother, and then they can pretend to be mother and son or father and son, and will take them to a far place to sell, at least thousands of miles." ”

"Hulu is right, although these children don't talk much, they all listen to the accents around the capital, and those two people don't act like kidnappers." Zhong Ye Road.

"So those two people are even more suspicious," Winter Melon said, "Don't you pick and harvest, right?" ”

The so-called harvesting and mutilation is to make good children disabled and let them beg, so as to make people feel pitiful and ask for more money.

"It's possible," Hulu said, "Anyway, Grandpa has done a good deed again, and he will send these children to the yamen in a while."

As for what is going on, we are not in charge. There are those who eat the emperor's food and receive the money to track down. ”

After eating, Zhong Ye really took the four children to the yamen, explained the events of last night and left.
