Chapter 210: The Past
Song Jiayao roughly used the water in the wooden bucket to roughly pass the wolf on her body, quickly changed into simple clothes, and followed Xiaoli to hide in a dark house.
When Xiaoli saw Song Jiayao come in, she immediately fastened the wooden bolt on the door, and moved all the movable wooden tables and wooden stools in the house to the door to resist.
After doing all this, Xiaoli leaned against the door and gasped for air.
"Are you alright?" Song Jiayao said with concern, seeing Xiaoli's sloppy movements, she knew that this small village was often attacked by wolves.
"I ...... I ......" Xiaoli said in horror that she couldn't say a complete sentence, and only stared at Song Jiayao with wide eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay." Song Jiayao held her in her arms and comforted her, and patted her shoulder to ease her, this little girl reminded her of Tong Zhen inexplicably.
However, she believed that Tong Zhen was in Hanyu's Listening to the Rain Building, and it was better than facing all kinds of bloody storms with her in the ghost place in the capital.
After all, her strength is limited, although she wants to keep people who are kind to her and good to her, but in the place in the capital that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, there are always places where she can't take good care of them.
"My sister, my father, died at the hands of these wolves because he resisted them, and my brother, to maintain his own livelihood, had to go to a distant place to collect medicine, and it took several days to go out, and I often couldn't see him." Xiaoli cried, and two lines of tears fell on Song Jiayao's shoulders without warning.
Song Jiayao didn't know what to say at the moment, so she could only keep patting her back to give her strength, whether it was Tong Zhen she came into contact with, or Xiaoli that Miss came into contact with, there was a tragic memory that was hard to forget.
However, this is not the time to be sad, Song Jiayao does not have martial arts, but she can clearly hear the wolf's scream, as well as the sound of Xue splashing, as well as miscellaneous sounds such as drawing swords and slashing hard.
Even if you don't see it at the scene, you can guess that the battle is very fierce, these wolves are not easy to deal with, at least they are very smart, they can get out of the trap and sneak in and bite the villagers.
I don't know how long it took, the sun gradually set, the sky gradually darkened, and the sound outside gradually disappeared, and this human-wolf battle finally came to an end.
"Miss Song, where are you? Where is it? Zhang San dragged his injured arm and said anxiously, although he obeyed Miss Song's order to help these villagers kill the wolves that disturbed the people, but let the future Mrs. Hou Ye be alone, this is a big disrespect, and if the Hou Ye knows, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat, so he will walk around.
"Xiaoli, Zhang San is calling me, I'll open the door and see, you are hiding, wait for me to come back to you." Song Jiayao told her that she didn't know what the situation was outside.
As soon as Song Jiayao went out, she followed the wind and dragged Zhang San, who had injured her arm, past her, and the speed was too fast, and the invisible wind speed made her stumble.
"Zhang San, don't be in such a hurry, I'm here ......" Song Jiayao said helplessly behind him.
Zhang San hurriedly stopped his steps, then turned around and said excitedly: "Miss......"
"I'm fine, but ......"
"What's wrong with your arm?" Song Jiayao said worriedly, Zhang San's right arm was silently dripping with fresh xue at the moment, and the wooden boards of this corridor were full of some dry xue traces.
As soon as Song Jiayao said this, Zhang San remembered the wound on his arm.
"Come here." Song Jiayao ordered, then took out the gold sore medicine that had been kept, and after inspecting the wound on Zhang San's arm, he gently gave him the medicine.
"Miss Song, this ...... It's not in line with the ceremony. Zhang San waved vigorously and refused, there is a difference between men and women, if this is said by someone with a heart, it will damage Miss Song's reputation.
"Count it off, you should be glad that these wolves are just scratching your arms with their claws, if they bite...... I'm afraid you can't stand here talking to me now, and I have to keep you from becoming their kind. Song Jiayao said indifferently.
Zhang San knew that Song Jiayao was agitating the general, and he wanted to say this for the sake of his arm, so he couldn't help but be moved to tears, and almost abandoned Nangong Jin, the master, and defected to Song Jiayao's banner instead.
"What's going on in the village?"
Zhang San couldn't hear the slightest strangeness from Song Jiayao's calm tone, but he still answered honestly: "Those who trapped and hung most of the wolves alive are now thinking about what to do with these wolves that were captured alive." ”
"As for the wolves that sneaked into the village, Zhang San finally lived up to Miss's expectations and killed them one by one."
"It's just ......," Zhang San said again.
"Just?" Song Jiayao was puzzled.
"Miss, these wolves are very smart, and when they realized that the situation was greatly unfavorable to them, their pack leader fled with a small group of agile wolves." Zhang San voiced his concerns, and the small village was now basking in the joy of driving the wolves away, which made it impossible for Zhang San to express his worries.
Song Jiayao didn't say anything more, and Zhang San didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, so she had to act as a wooden man on the side.
"Are there any casualties in the village?" Song Jiayao asked whether those wolves would make a comeback, and she could only worry about it in the future.
"This time, the villagers did not suffer any harm, and the young lady has nothing to worry about."
Song Jiayao nodded, then got up and took Xiaoli, who was still in the hut, out to meet the cook, and when Xiaoli saw her mother, she immediately threw herself into her arms and cried.
"Thank you for your help today, please accept the old man's worship." The old village chief bowed to Zhang San and was about to kneel, but Zhang San immediately helped him up.
"This ...... This ......" Zhang Sanyi was short of words and didn't know what to say.
"Old village chief, don't kneel like this, it will torment our young people." Song Jiayao also stepped forward to help the old village chief up and said.
"You ...... is really a noble man in our village, if it weren't for this strong man, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to give up today. The old village chief said gratefully.
"Village chief, first settle the villagers, and then let everyone have a good meal, and work until dark, and everyone's stomach is probably hungry."
"yes, let me cook a good meal to treat everyone." The cook patted Xiong and said.
Song Jiayao originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask the old village chief about Liu Niang's whereabouts, but when she thought that everyone had just experienced such a vicious battle, she was probably not in the mood now, so she had to give up.
"Miss Song, please stay."
“?” Song Jiayao looked at the old village chief with a puzzled expression.
"Go to my room and I'll tell you everything you want to know."
“!!” Song Jiayao never thought that the old village chief would choose to inform her about Liu Niang in this situation.
"Village chief, you don't have to ...... reluctantly" Song Jiayao said at a loss, when she wanted to know, she couldn't know about it, which made her heart go up and down; Now that someone is willing to tell her, she feels scared.
"Miss, isn't that good? We don't need to make excuses to talk about it......" Zhang San muttered close to Song Jiayao's ear.
It's good, but it's too sudden, and it makes her feel a little unrealistic, as if she has been hit by a big pie.
The old village chief had already walked forward for a distance, and found that Song Jiayao and Zhang San hadn't kept up yet, so he couldn't help but stop, turned around and looked at the master and servant with a puzzled expression, not knowing what they were muttering.
"Miss, it's been a while since we came out, and if we don't go back, I'm afraid that Mrs. Wang Xi in the Water Mansion will be a demon again." Zhang San reminded.
"How do you know?" Song Jiayao asked rhetorically, she had already arranged it when she went out, and there was Xiaoqing left behind, could Wang Xi's slut still make waves?
"This ......" Zhang Sanzhi hesitated.
"You'd better make it clear to me, you secretly have contact with Nangong Jin? Did I report my every move to him? Song Jiayao asked, quite a hint of asking the teacher for guilt.
"Ahem, aren't you in a hurry?" The old village chief asked.
"Hurry!!" Song Jiayao and Zhang San said in unison, and then quickly kept up with the pace of the old village chief.
Song Jiayao glared at Zhang San, that look made Zhang San terrified, he was really innocent, he just reported Song Jiayao's search for Liu Niang and where she is now to Nangong Jin, why did he take the blame in the end?
"Sit down, it's inconvenient to talk about Liu Niang outside." The old village chief said earnestly, then picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea and put them in front of Song Jiayao and Zhang San.
"Village chief, let's just come by ourselves, don't let us feel embarrassed."
"Liu Niang, I don't know her past, she also came to our small village after an accident."
"In the chaos of the righteous army that year, the imperial court sent people to encircle and suppress the bandits here, and Liu Niang was grazed by a sharp arrow through her head because she strayed into the battle circle, and then she ignored the cliff in the process of escaping."
"After we found and rescued her, we found that Liu Niang had amnesia, and after she woke up, she began to go crazy, and when she saw other people, she said that Mrs. was good."
"At first, she just said that Mrs. was okay when she saw people, but I don't know when she saw the newborn baby, she would secretly take it away, and then shout ......"
"Miss, don't cry, miss, you're Madame's baby." The old village chief recalled.
"Because Liu Niang's behavior is too abnormal, it can be said that the people in the village are disgusted, and in the end, everyone began to isolate her."
"Not long after, after the thieves' nest was served by the imperial court, our village was abandoned." The old village chief said sadly, as if these things were not only Liu Niang's sad memories, but also their sad memories.
"Abandonment? Why? Song Jiayao was puzzled, the imperial court was willing to send people to suppress the thieves' nest, how could it ......
"Miss, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the saint can't ask about all the trivial matters, besides, the matter of this small village should be solved by the county order of the county seat." Zhang San explained that he didn't say good things for anyone.
"So, the county order here doesn't even care about the fact that this small village has been harassed by wolves for years!!" Song Jiayao said excitedly, is there such a parental official? Where to put the interests of the people!
