The eighth day of the crossing
Everyone was groggy and dazed, and while they were taking a nap, accompanied by the occasional chirping of cicadas, suddenly, there was a commotion on the other side, followed by anxious shouting.
After a while, everyone was woken up, there was no shortage of enthusiastic, some just watched the excitement, these people who watched the excitement were everywhere, everyone gathered around and asked the crying woman, and there was a very anxious man next to him, standing there at a loss.
Only then did I know that the child was lost, it was a little boy, and Qingling still had a little impression. I'm nine years old this year, and I've been very sensible and follow my parents closely all the way, just now, when I was too tired to be a mother, I slept for a while. The father was careless and didn't pay much attention, and now he can't find the child. In fact, no one thought that someone would abduct children here.
Everyone gossiped: "Will you run away to play, do you look around?" ”
"Uh-huh, yes, have you been here to look for it?
The child who lost the child didn't reply, just cried blindly, and the man next to him thought it was his husband, and said, "I've looked for it, I've found it everywhere."
"Oh, no, someone came to us to steal the child."
There were also people in the crowd who gloated. When the woman on the ground wept even louder. The escort also came and asked what was going on.
Qingling didn't step forward, but the little bun hugged it tighter. Today's sister-in-law Luo didn't feel very good about her, although she kept smiling, but Qingling just didn't feel well, and she had been desperate to hold the little bun, and now she was lost by the child, Qingling felt that this matter had something to do with the talkative sister-in-law Luo.
Su Jingyun also sat up and looked at Su Yunxi beside him, and then he was relieved. Brother Su and Su Er also hurriedly squeezed over, as if they were also frightened. They all told their wives to take good care of their children.
The escort called some people to look for a meeting nearby, but they still couldn't find it, so they reported to the official. It turns out that this sister-in-law Luo is a professional flower shooter. She saw that the people who came to the army this time were all from the capital, and the children were all raised very well, the color was much more than that of a small place, and the price was much higher, and these were all to be filled with the army, and when the time came, no one would trouble her. I mixed in with the people who sold things and secretly followed.
Originally, she took a fancy to Xiao Baozi, a boy, young and beautiful, but she didn't expect Qingling to look strict, almost didn't let go, and had no way to think about retreating, thinking that Su Mingyuan and Su Mingxi were also good, but she didn't shy away from looking at Qingling, worried that she would be discovered, and she didn't dare to stay here. In the end, I hurriedly chose one and ran away.
Because this matter was delayed for another afternoon, they did not make it in the afternoon, and they rested here tonight, and will go on the road again tomorrow. Qingling took out the baked cakes and added braised pork for everyone to eat, and several people ate the richest meal in a few days.
A few children were a little scared at first when they heard that there were abducted children, but they were happy to see that there was delicious food. But a few adults were not so relaxed, and their hearts were secretly tight.
When Qingling and they finished dinner, the escort also came back, but the person was not caught, and Luo's sister-in-law was a habitual offender. The government kept a record, saying that it would be arrested as soon as there were clues. There is no hope that the child will be recovered, and it is impossible for the escort officer to stay and wait, and if he has a good life, he may be sold to a childless family, and if he has a bad life, he may be sold into slavery.
But from another point of view, even if it is abducted, it may also be a blessing, otherwise I don't know how much suffering I have to endure along the way, and adults may not be able to make it to the place of exile alive, let alone children, in ancient times, the premature mortality rate of children was already very high.
Qingling and a few of them also booed, and the incident also reminded everyone that everyone looked at the children more strictly in the next journey.
As usual, everyone is used to consciously starting to make beds, fetch water, and rest as soon as it gets dark. I didn't walk this afternoon, and Qingling didn't massage the soles of Su Jingyun's feet, she just soaked her feet in hot water, and when Su Yunxi and Su Yunyuan and Su Mingzhu were asleep.
Qingling also put the little bun to sleep, and Qingling was also ready to continue cultivating, Su Jingyun suddenly said, "You already found out that person didn't have a good heart today, right?"
After speaking, Su Jingyun opened his eyes and looked at Qingling curiously, in the dark night, those eyes seemed brighter, and Qingling's heart was like being scratched by a feather.
Qingling has always known that Su Jingyun is good-looking, otherwise those famous ladies in the capital would not have fought to be a stepmother and marry him, but Su Mingyuan's maternal grandfather intervened, and he didn't want him to marry a high-ranking family, and the Su family didn't care that it was the original owner's turn.
But she still sighed again, she was so good-looking, and even walking for a few days didn't affect his appearance, but had a kind of Chu Chu posture, although it didn't seem good to use "Chu Chu" to say that a man was not very good, but Qing Ling felt that it was appropriate to use a word now.
Otherwise, some women and girls would sneak a few glances at them during the break.
Qingling came through and was exiled after her. But because of Su Jingyun's appearance, she is also willing to take care of Su Jingyun more. After all, she is not a virgin, and everyone takes care of her on the basis of no feelings, and to look good is to get a little cheap.
Qingling has lived for so many years, and Qingling knows that she is also a dog. In fact, Qingling has not seen a good-looking person, not to mention the twenty-first world, that is, in the cultivation realm, the extremely amazing Zixiao Sect's Jingyun Dao people, the Fahua Temple's True Master, and the worry-free saint of Guyuemen, Qingling has been fortunate to see it, each with its own beautiful methods, but after being amazed, some are just deeply guarded.
Qingling was stunned, and seeing that Su Jingyun was still waiting for her to answer, she laughed at herself, and replied, "No, I just don't like that person very much." ”
He ignored him, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, secretly running his mind in his heart, and began another round of cultivation.
Su Jingyun watched Qingling close her eyes and rest, her eyes darkened, she touched her face, and wondered that her little wife had become so bold that she was obviously afraid of him before. Then he sighed in his heart, he had changed for the better, and now he was a drag on himself, and he didn't know if he would have the life to go to the penal colony.
This question is not only Su Jingyun thinking, most people are thinking about it, Su Jinglan also thinks, looking at the wife and children around him who are frowning even when they are asleep, he is extremely melancholy.
The journey of the past few days had exhausted him. It's not that he didn't see his wife's deliberate neglect of Xiaomei's behavior, it is said that he is the eldest son, and he promised his mother to take good care of Xiaomei, and Xiaomei should follow them. However, he didn't say anything.
He was very sad in his heart, and his long-term education wanted him to be a competent good brother and a good parent. He has always been very proud that he did it, but now he is very confused, in the face of his wife who is suffering together, he can't say anything harsh, everything is to blame for his lack of ability, and he doesn't know if the next road can be carried on smoothly by the whole family.
Compared with Su Jinglan's entanglement, Su Jingchen thought much simpler, he coaxed his son to sleep here, and began to coax his wife sweetly. finally fell asleep guarding his wife, looking at his wife's sleeping appearance, Su Jingchen felt that Jiaojiao was still so beautiful, as long as the family was together.
I also think that now that my family is facing this kind of adversity, maybe I can also break the bottleneck that has been there for a long time and find inspiration to make popular poems that will last for generations. Don't you see that those great poets in history only rose up after being frustrated?
I made a poem again, thought about the intonation and rhyme, well, I'm going to read it to Jiaojiao tomorrow, and then let her help me change it. She's going to be surprised. I slept contentedly. I have to say that Su Jingchen is the biggest in his family, and he doesn't worry about anything.
The Yang family on the other side looked at Su Jingchen coaxing the delicate Yang family, and pursed his lips disdainfully. I don't look at myself as a child anymore, and when is it now, I really think that I am still a noble lady in the past, and I don't feel sorry for my husband.
It's just that the second uncle is also incompetent, and he only knows how to write poems and paintings and coax his wife in one day. It was fine before, but they will receive it later.
Yang looked in the direction of the big room and the fourth room again, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are okay, Yun Yu can also be regarded as an adult man, Yun Yan is also big, the burden is not heavy, so it can be wooed.
But after all, it's not a mother's birth, how can it be separated by a layer, and what benefits there are in the future, I will think about the second and third rooms first, and it is not cost-effective to win them over.
Not to mention the three rooms, there are so many children, and the little uncle is useless, it will definitely be a big burden in the future. And his own health has always been good, and he has three hundred taels of silver tickets quietly given by his mother, plus thirty taels of silver from his family, and his own family will definitely be better than other rooms in the future.
Thinking of this, the Yang family finally raised his eyebrows, he was a concubine, and he was just a concubine who was not valued in the family, after marrying, the old lady treated everyone equally on the surface, but in private she often made up for other rooms, and she didn't know if she was a fool. In the future, persuade the master to stay away from the other houses, lest they come up.
Yang looked at her sleeping husband and children, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she slept contentedly. Everyone was different, and therefore everyone had different thoughts, and the night covered the whole world, and occasionally the sound of the thunderbolt of the fire burning the wood, the whispering of the night watchman, and the snoring of the sleeper.
