Chapter 259: Attack

The mountain road is difficult, the nursery rhyme walks slowly, and a layer of fine sweat has come out of his forehead.

"Xianggong, let's go over there and rest."

She looked at the shed that had been built in front of her, but without much thought, she said,

Chen Xuan looked at the nursery rhyme, nodded, helped her to walk towards the shed, and when he got closer, he found that a black and thin child came out of the shed, and he didn't know if it was a man or a woman.

It's just that the child obviously recognizes life, and as soon as he saw them coming, his big eyes rolled a few times, and he ran towards the house.

"Mother, someone is coming."

The thin and weak voice is still comparable to the thin figure of a child.

"Little sister, my mother goes out to have a look, don't come out with you."

In a short time, a head poked out of the shed, a woman of about forty or fifty years of age, her face was full of wrinkles, and although her eyes were not cloudy, there was a pool of stagnant water inside.

When he looked at the two of them, there was some timidity in his eyes, but also a little vigilance.

"Who are you?"

The nursery rhyme raised the corners of her mouth, and said in as gentle a voice as possible.

"This aunt, let's just come up to the mountain to see, I remember that there was no one on the mountain before, who are you?"

No wonder the nursery rhyme asked this, she was worried that there would be some homeless people in the mountains, which was not what she wanted to see.

The woman saw that the nursery rhyme did not look like a bad person, and she also knew the details of this side, so she smiled embarrassedly.

"We have only been here for a long time, and the men at home are helping to do the work."

I learned the information from the nursery rhyme between the words, and as soon as my brain turned, I knew that this might be the family of the person hired by Uncle Zhou to work.

"You are the people hired by the Chen family to work in the village?"

There are very few people who drag their families to work.

When the woman saw that the nursery rhyme still knew their master's house, she immediately nodded.

"Yes, it's the Chen family, who are the two of you?"

The nursery rhyme glanced at Chen Xuan, and then looked at the woman with a smile and said.

"We are the Chen family."

As soon as she heard this, the woman's face changed, and her hands, which had been a little cramped and restless, did not know where to put them, and they could not even speak.

"This, this, we, the Lord's house."

After a long pause, he held back a sentence.

"Lord, go in and sit, go in and sit."

It's just that after inviting people inside, her face became embarrassed again, because they hadn't been here for a long time, and the shed was also improvised, and it was very empty, and for a while, except for being able to sit, there was really no place to rest, but she could also see that the clothes on these two were clean, and it was their bed, and she was afraid of soiling the clothes of these two.

"Sit."

It's still a little girl who doesn't have a sense of presence on the side, and she comes over with a bench to give nursery rhymes.

Seeing this, Mrs. breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand and touched the little girl's head, and then looked at the nursery rhyme and Chen Xuan flatteringly.

"We don't have any place to sit here, and I hope that Mrs. Don't be surprised."

Seeing her so nervous, Tong Yao was tired and panicked for her, so she took a stool and sat down outside.

The woman went out again, and the nursery rhyme learned about them from her.

Speaking of which they are not homeless, but it is also because there are too many men in the family, and there are two sick people before, for the people of Pingming, this illness is not daring, and the in-laws have been sick for decades, this is not just a bitter family for their family.

If it weren't for the two old men of the Lu family who showed Lu Boss his daughter-in-law before he fell ill, this family would definitely be single.

Among the seven or eight people they saw halfway up the mountain just now, there were Boss Lu, several of his brothers, and several of his sons.

Nursery rhyme sighed in his heart, who said that the more sons in this life, the better, if this is placed in the family of people who have no money, the more sons, the heavier the burden.

It's not until now, Lu Lao Er, and Lu Lao San are still singles.

"These days are all lived by people, and Aunt Lu will relax, if you live here, if you are good, you will live a few years."

Lu's daughter-in-law immediately thought of the salary that the Chen family gave them, and although they didn't have their own land when they arrived here, they didn't feel so panicked when they thought that there was an income every month, and they were busy and gratefully said to the nursery rhyme and Chen Xuan.

"Thanks to the mercy of the lord and the lady, if it weren't for you, our family would definitely be squatting at the entrance of the town to beg for food now, just like those homeless people."

"Don't say that, we are an employment relationship, as long as your family works hard, we will not lose you when the time comes."

Nursery rhyme said with a light smile.

Lu's daughter-in-law nodded hurriedly, she looked at the nursery rhyme and Chen Xuan, and always felt that she had nothing to say to them, seeing the nursery rhyme and gently talking to her own sister, she was relieved, said hello to the nursery rhyme, and went to prepare for food.

"How old are you?"

"Ten years old."

The little sister looked at the nursery rhyme with big eyes, a little shy, but there was no stage fright.

The nursery rhyme wanted to reach out and touch the little girl's head, seeing her yellow and dry hair, and looking at her and the appearance of a six- or seven-year-old child, she felt a little unbearable.

"Take this one to buy some food and replenish your body more, otherwise when you grow up, you won't grow any longer."

The little sister looked at the silver in the palm of the nursery rhyme's hand, her eyes lit up, she bit her lip, looked at the nursery rhyme's eyes for a while, and then looked at the silver in her hand, very tangled, but this hand was not stretched out.

The nursery rhyme thinks this child is very cute and polite.

"Take it."

As he spoke, he put the broken silver in his hand in her hand.

The two of them walked outside.

The little sister stared at the backs of the two people for a while, and then lowered her head and looked at the silver money in her hand, she knew that this was silver and could buy things.

"Mother, you have money."

Lu's daughter-in-law, who was sorrowfully thinking about what to eat in the shed, listened to the voice of her daughter, and she was not as rough as before, she was afraid that her behavior would dislike the two nobles outside.

It's just that when she looked at the little girl who ran in happily, and saw the silver in her palm, her expression immediately changed, and she dragged it over, and hurriedly ran outside, where are the figures of those two nobles.

The little sister also trotted behind her mother, but her body shrank into the shed and shouted weakly.

"Mother, eat meat."

Lu's daughter-in-law held the silver, she was excited in her heart, but she was a little uneasy, she looked at her sister.

"Why did the nobleman give you money?"

The little sister slowed down, and then tilted her head and whispered.

"Skinny, eat meat, grow tall."

Lu's daughter-in-law looked at her daughter's appearance, her eyes immediately turned red, her daughter was originally the youngest child in the family, and she should have been the most favored, but in that situation at home, where can she still give her good food and drink, but now she is ten years old, and she still looks like a six or seven-year-old child, this is all meat that fell from her, can she not be heartbroken?

"The noble man is a good person, this silver is the noble man who bought you meat to eat, and tomorrow my mother will buy you meat to eat."

When the younger sister heard her mother say to buy meat to eat, her big eyes burst out with joy and she clapped her hands happily.

"Eat meat, eat meat."

Lu's daughter-in-law wiped the corners of her eyes, stretched out her hand and rubbed her little sister's head, and said in a rough voice.

"Look, it's not interesting at all, and I'm so happy that this meat hasn't even eaten in my mouth."

The younger sister couldn't listen to her mother's words at all, her mind was full of meat, and she swallowed greedily.

Originally, Chen Xuan planned to go back like this, but when the nursery rhyme walked to the top of the mountain, he looked at the endless green mountains on the opposite side, and then looked at the men around him.

"Xianggong, I want to eat roast chicken, and it's just the two of us when I go back, why don't you go hunting some game, how about we roast it outside and eat it?"

Looking at the nursery rhyme's smart and moving eyes, Chen Xuan couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Okay, you just wait here, I'll go back when I go."

The nursery rhyme wanted to go with her father-in-law, but she also knew that the chance was a little slim, so she obediently agreed, and found a fairly clean stone to sit down, at this time it was almost noon, and the warm sun was still hanging in the sky, and the mountain wind blew, and she would not feel cold.

"Xianggong, you go and come back quickly."

"Well, stay here."

Chen Xuan stared at the eyes of the nursery rhyme and finally admonished.

"Don't worry."

The nursery rhyme repeatedly assured that Chen Xuan would leave.

As soon as Chen Xuan left, the nursery rhyme stretched out her hands to bask in the warm sun, and looked down the mountain from her, and she could see the entire Heyuan Village in full view, and you could vaguely see their yard.

At this time, the villagers at the bottom of the mountain also began to pack up their things and began to rush to their homes, one by one like ants.

Suddenly, her eyes unconsciously glanced at their yard again, which was a good house just now, but it was actually on fire at this time.

Tong Yao stood up, looked over again to make sure that her eyes were not wrong, that direction was the direction of their house, and the yard that burned up was their yard, and her face suddenly changed.

"Xianggong, Xianggong!"

Chen Xuan's hands and feet were very fast, and he had almost reached the bottom of the mountain at this time, and he could vaguely hear someone calling him, so he immediately paused and listened carefully.

Soon he heard that the voice was a nursery rhyme, and immediately ran up the hill.

"Yaoyao, Yaoyao."

"Xianggong."

Tong Yao looked at Chen Xuan's appearance and immediately said again.

"Xianggong, our yard is burning."

Chen Xuan's face changed greatly, and he held the hand of the nursery rhyme.

"Let's go back and see."

"Hmm."

The courtyard of Chen's house caught fire, and some villagers in Heyuan Village also found it, and immediately some people ran up the mountain to tell Chen Xuan.
