And the copper coins in the money box were too full to fit, and on a day with good weather, Hu Po took Ye Lan to the money village to exchange the copper coins for silver, and the two women, old and young, walked around again, buying a lot of fabrics and food.

Since Ye Lan arrived at Hu's house, she has been learning needlework from the old lady intermittently. In her previous life, she could only do some simple sewing, but fortunately, she was not stupid, and she could defeat some small things after learning in a few months.

Zuo Yuanhao has been wearing clothes left by Shanzi for a while, and the size is inevitably a little inappropriate, she bought fabrics today, and after dinner, she lit an oil lamp and stepped up sewing.

Yu Yuanhao didn't know where to find a history book, sat on the other side of the oil lamp and flipped over, occasionally looking up at the busy Ye Lan, only to feel extremely peaceful in his heart.

Ye Lan was thirsty, and when she looked up and saw him looking at herself without speaking, her face slowly turned red, but her mouth was vicious, "Look at everything, I'm tired, pour me a bowl of water." ”

Zuo Yuanhao smiled faintly and poured a bowl of warm water for her.

Ye Lan drank water and continued to sew clothes, but she refused to stop until the three drums came from the streets.

Zuo Yuanhao persuaded: "Sleep, don't be in a hurry on this day." ”

Ye Lan yawned, and then put away the sewing basket. The two laid out the futon, and Ye Lan snuggled into Zuo Yuanhao's arms very skillfully, and lifted her right leg and pressed on him.

A smile flashed in Zuo Yuanhao's eyes, Xu noticed that his chest was shaking, Ye Lan patted him, and muttered: "If I turn over at night, press me, the left side is good for the child's blood supply." ”

Zuo Yuanhao didn't understand much, but he still responded.

Ye Lan was relieved and muttered to herself, habits are really terrible things, I originally felt that many people around me were uncomfortable, but it was only a few days, and I couldn't sleep without anyone carrying my legs.

Thinking like this, she quickly fell into a deep sleep, Zuo Yuanhao got up slightly and blew out the oil lamp, reached out and put her head on her shoulder, so that she could sleep more comfortably......

On this day, there were not many flour and other ingredients left in the shop, so Hu Bo took advantage of the lunch break to take Zuo Yuanhao to the grain store where he often walked around to buy.

Ye Lan was taking a wipe to wipe the counter, and when Hu Po came out of it and saw her like this, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the rag and pushed her to rest.

When Ye Lan was about to argue, a few familiar officials walked in, and Hu Po immediately greeted her with a smile, "Oh, what kind of wind is blowing today, why is Li Zhutou here?" ”

Li Zhutou also gave a smile and responded: "Hu Po's business is good? ”

"Okay."

Hu Po beckoned several officials to sit down, and Ye Lan sent a plate of baked cakes and a pot of tea in a timely manner.

"What kind of errand is this today, look at a few tired and sweaty people, drink saliva first, eat a baked cake pad to cushion the stomach, just baked, it is fragrant."

These servants often walked on the streets, and it was common for them to eat and drink together, and besides, it was past noon, and their stomachs were indeed hungry, so no one shirked, and they took the baked cakes and ate them in large gulps.

A baked cake was in his stomach, and he was not so hungry and panicked, so Li Zhutou had the strength to gossip, "Hu Po doesn't know, and she sent an errand from above to ask us to find someone." ”

Hu Po and Ye Lan's faces changed, but they quickly covered up.

Hu Po pretended to be curious and asked, "Who are you looking for up there?" There are not a few thousand people in our small place, and everyone in the township knows each other, and I haven't heard of any outsiders. ”

"Isn't it? That's what I said, but I don't believe it, so we have to ask from door to door, saying that a certain noble son in the capital came out to play and got lost, and he was so tired that the boundaries of hundreds of miles around this city were turned upside down. ”

"This noble son has a guard entourage to follow him when he goes out, how can he still get lost? Could it be that something has happened? Ye Lan asked with a smile while adding tea to everyone.

"Who said no, the top didn't want to say more, only told to find someone, no, we unlucky ones are going to break our legs."

Ye Lan didn't hear any useful news, so she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, just when she was thinking about asking a few more words, Hu Bo came back with Zuo Yuanhao.

Hu Po and Ye Lan were all in the air, but it was too late to stop them.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhutou saw Zuo Yuanhao carrying a bag of noodles into the house, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Yes, why did I forget, your uncle didn't come to the city for a long time, right?" ”

Zuo Yuanhao was walking with his head down, and suddenly he was stopped and raised his head, because he had to do dirty work, he changed into the most shabby clothes, at this time his face was stained with flour, and his hair bun was a little scattered, although his appearance was handsome and different from ordinary people, but he was a little embarrassed no matter how he looked.

Li Zhutou couldn't help but hesitate, could this virtue be the person he was looking for?

Hu Po hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "My aunt is chasing Lan Yatou to our realm, but he is not a noble son, which noble son do you think is so diligent and capable?" ”

Li Zhutou also laughed when he heard it, he didn't hear the story of the cold-faced son giving up his family to protect his wife and children, so he patted his head and said with annoyance: "I'm really busy and dizzy, I have to look at everyone I see twice." ”

Hu Po secretly breathed a sigh of relief and comforted: "No way, Li Zhutou is also dutiful for official business, without your dedication, how can the neighbors have a peaceful life." When are you tired, walk through this shop and come in to sit, nothing else, Hu Po has enough baked cakes and tea pipes here. ”

Li Zhutou felt very useful when he heard this, and smiled politely.

Ye Lan's eyes rolled, and suddenly "ouch" held on to the counter.

The crowd hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My stomach hurts, I don't know if it's because I've been standing for a long time, and the child is a little uncomfortable." Ye Lan replied weakly, her brows furrowed tightly, and she looked like she was trying her best to endure it.

"Auntie, go get a doctor!" Zuo Yuanhao immediately threw down the bag, picked up Ye Lan with both hands and walked back.

"Hey, hey, I'll go." Hu Po was also panicked, and she took off her apron and was about to go out.

Seeing this, Li Zhutou and several people also said goodbye one after another, and when they got out of the shop, a little catcher said with a casual smile: "The girl next door to my house has to come over every day to buy baked cakes, and I can't love this baked cakes Langjun. ”

Everyone laughed, and Li Zhutou felt that he was a little Meng Lang, and waved everyone to the next street. They laughed and laughed, and naturally they didn't see a few little beggars not far behind them......

When night fell, in the broken temple outside the gravel city, the beggars who had been busy for a few days rushed back one after another, and a bonfire was lit in the middle of the broken temple, and a broken iron pot was hung on the fire, and some leftovers were stewed in it, but the little beggars were surprisingly not gathered around as in the past, but looked at the temple door, with a look of anticipation and three points of fear.

Finally, a thin man wrapped tightly in his body flashed in and casually lowered the package on his shoulder. He glanced up at the people in the ruined temple, and then asked, "How is it, is there any news today?" ”

A twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy came out when he heard the voice, and while staring at the package, he replied: "No, those catchers have gone through all the houses, and they have not heard of anyone suspicious, but they have broken two pairs of adulterers." ”

The thin man frowned, remained silent, raised his hand and motioned for him to take the package, and sat down by the fire.

The half-grown boy hurriedly pulled the package to his side, patted away the companions who were swarming over, took out the roast chicken and meat buns inside, and distributed them, and only after doing this did he hold a whole roast chicken and gnaw it.

The thin man saw that the little beggars were eating with their heads down, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, and when he waited for the half-sized boy to eat a round stomach, he looked up and saw that the man had not left and was a little curious, but before he could ask, his stomach was churning and hurting.

"Uh, it hurts, it hurts!" The rest of the little beggars also fell to the ground one after another as if they had received a signal, holding their stomachs and crying out in pain.

Even if the half-grown boy was stupid, he knew that Fang Cai's food had been poisoned, and he crawled to the thin man and grabbed his clothes, and his throat rattled, but he couldn't make any other sounds.

The thin man waved his hand, got up and walked around the temple, and when he saw that all the little beggars were out of breath, he came back, and the half-grown boy was also dead.

He sighed fakely, and said in a low voice: "Since there is no one we are looking for in this small county town, you are naturally useless, and it is hard for you to live, so it is better to go to report to Lord Yama first." ”

After speaking, he went out of the temple gate, and when he came back, he carried a jar of vegetable oil in his hand, sprinkled some everywhere, threw a few firewoods, and soon, the small broken temple was on fire.

If you stand at the head of the gravel city, you can also find the disaster here, but unfortunately, after many years of peace, defending the city has become a kind of perfunctory, except for the wild cat, how can there be half a figure on the city.

On the morning of the second day, a peasant who went into the city to sell vegetables found out about it, and soon reported it to the yamen, and a few catchers yawned and walked away, and finally closed the case with the little beggars lighting a fire to cook and accidentally burning down the temple, and no one cared whether the little beggars were dead or alive, and naturally no one avenged them.

However, Hu Po listened to the neighbors talk about this in the shop, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, so she took advantage of the time when the baked cakes were not baked to go home.

Yesterday, Ye Lan was afraid that those yacha would find something strange when she asked again, pretending to have a stomachache, and didn't want Dr. Sun to come over to take a pulse, but she really found some small problems, not to mention that the big bowl of tonic began to drink three times a day, and she was so bitter that she drank it all day.

At this moment, Zuo Yuanhao was holding the medicine bowl, no matter how he persuaded him, Ye Lan just hid his head in the quilt and refused to come out.

Zuo Yuanhao was very amused to see her look like a pheasant hiding in the snowdrift in winter.

He was already handsome and extraordinary, and when he smiled, his eyebrows became more and more dazzling, which provoked Ye Lan, who poked her head out to peek, couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know if it's a son or a daughter in my stomach?" If it's a daughter, it's fine, but if it's a son, you must not be as good-looking as you, otherwise I don't know how many women will be heartbroken. ”

Zuo Yuanhao's eyes flashed, he reached out to help her out, slowly fed the medicine, and immediately stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth when she wrinkled her little face with bitterness, and finally responded: "No matter whether it is a son or a daughter." ”

Ye Lan lowered her head and gently stroked her bulging belly, and said angrily: "I guess it's a son, still a little fat man who can eat and drink, and now he is already so old in less than four months, and he can't be more than eight catties when he is born." ”

The two were talking like this, and Hu Po rushed back, Ye Lan blushed a little, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, isn't the shop busy, but do you have other work?" ”

Hu Po glanced at Zuo Yuanhao and said with a smile: "It's okay, just come back and see if you have drunk the medicine well, Dayong spoils you too much, in case you are tricked and my grandson is uncomfortable in the stomach, I don't agree." ”

"How come," Ye Lan's face turned even redder, and she said coquettishly: "Aunt is eccentric, before the child is born, you won't love me." ”

Seeing that Zuo Yuanhao carried the medicine jar to the well to scrub, Hu Po came to Ye Lan and told the news she had just heard, and at the end she seemed to be afraid that Ye Lan would be worried, so she hurriedly said: "Maybe I'm too careful, it's just that those beggars have been running around in the city recently, and they have all been burned to death so suddenly, so I feel that something is wrong." ”

Ye Lan also frowned, and subconsciously grabbed the old lady's hand, "Auntie, don't let him go out these days, he must have encountered some danger at the beginning, and now we can't figure it out, it's better to be still, let's wait." ”

Hu Po nodded, sighing slightly in her heart, according to her wishes, it is better to wait for a lifetime, but it depends on God's wishes......

Zuo Yuanhao was slowly brushing the medicine jar, thinking about what to go out to buy for a while, Doctor Sun said that Ye Lan's blood was lost, and he had to go to the pork shop to buy some pig blood and come back to steam it.

In the middle of his busy work, he occasionally listened sideways to listen to a phrase coming from the room, and guessed what it meant. In fact, at the beginning of his awakening, he found that his ears and eyes seemed to be a little different from ordinary people, and even his strength was very great, but he didn't tell anyone, not that he didn't trust his family, but that he instinctively defended, as if he had been like this since birth.

He didn't want to guess what kind of environment he was living in before, but he must not be liking him, at least not as calm and safe as he is now......

The days passed, spring had just left, summer had arrived with the blazing sun, and when summer was gone, autumn came with golden wings, and finally when winter was late, Ye Lan's belly was already ridiculously big, and Dr. Sun announced after a pulse diagnosis that Ye Lan was pregnant with twins.

Since then, the family has treated Ye Lan as an eyeball, originally she could go to the shop to walk around, but now she is not even allowed to go out of the house.

When I got up early this day, the sky had just brightened, Ye Lan was sleeping soundly, and Zuo Yuanhao had already gotten up and dressed. Hu Bo recently had a cough and couldn't make baked cakes, so these jobs fell to Zuo Yuanhao, Xu was getting along for a long time, and the old couple gradually handed over some important things at home to him, such as going to the money village to exchange silver, buying, and even going out to eat banquets.

Gradually, his neighbors regarded him as the head of the family, and did not despise him because they lived in his aunt's house.

It is said that it is born from the heart, and the peaceful days of this half a year have also made him unload a lot of things that are deeply rooted in his nature, and his facial features are still a little beautiful, but now they are a little softer, and of course, they are still loved by the old girls in Gravel City as always.
