Because Ye Laoguo's ancestors and grandsons were not at home, every day at the end of Shen Shi, Wang Xin and several people would send the two dogs and one bear directly back to the Xia family.

It's almost time, Xia Ju and Zhao Niuniu took Xia Xiaoqi to wait at the mouth of the alley together, and some children who like two dogs and one bear also came over.

Xia Li could hear the noise of the children outside in the inner courtyard.

In a few moments, the barking of dogs and the howling of bears rang out, and the laughter and screams of the children became louder. Jin Ling went out to call them home, and Xia Ju and Xia He came back on the bear-like body.

Xia He was very excited, with his mouth wide open, and he screamed from time to time.

When Dangdang knew that Xia He was his sister's nephew, that is, his cousin, he worked very hard to lead Xiong Xiang and Kuroko to play with him all night, and even let him ride Gao Ao's back.

When Xia He slept at night, he hugged Xia's neck and said, "Mother, this family is good, I like it." I still like you, sister, brother, everything, dangdang, black and black. ”

After speaking, his eyes were overflowing with tears, and his mouth was pursed to prevent himself from crying.

Such a young child would cry with joy.

Xia Shi guessed how difficult his life was before, and how many hardships and obstacles he had to go through on the way out. kissed his little face, and laughed softly, "Baby, my mother is rare for you, and my sister and brother are rare for you." This home will always be your home......"

Early the next morning, before dawn, Xia Shan and Zhao Niuniu came, they wanted to have breakfast here, and after dinner, they went to Zhuangzi to play together.

Today, except for Xia's, Xia He, and Tian Qing's family, everyone goes.

Dangdang was especially excited. My sister said that after receiving the potatoes, she would make it a bowl full of mashed potatoes.

As soon as breakfast was put on the table, the courtyard door rang, and the sound was terrifying. There was also a shout from Zhu Erjia, "Open the door, open the door quickly." ”

The voice was crying.

Tian Qing's voice, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Xia Li, Xia Shi, and Xia Shan were stunned for a moment, and they all hurriedly ran out of the house.

I saw Zhu Er's cloak rushing into the inner courtyard and saying, "Oh no, Zhuangzi was robbed, and most of the potatoes in the field were stolen at night......" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't cry.

A few people were startled, and Xia Shan ran forward in a few steps and asked, "What's going on, tell me clearly." ”

Zhu Erjia cried, "At night, our family and Ah Huang slept until they died, and they only woke up at the end of the hour. As soon as I got out of the room, I saw a kitchen knife at the door. I was frightened, and I checked around the inner and outer courtyards, but I didn't see anything wrong. When I ran out of the side door, I saw at a glance that most of the taro seedlings in the fence wall had been dug up, and the carama was gone, leaving only a few seedlings that had not had time to dig...... My head of the family asked me to report to my wife and eldest girl, and he went to the county office to report the case. Hmmmm...... The minions are derelict in their duties. ”

In ancient times, it was a felony to destroy farming, and the potato was personally supervised by the political envoy and promoted throughout the country as a seed purchase, which was the top priority. Who is so bold that they dare to steal the taro?

Several people were terrified.

Xia Li said, "Although Ah Huang didn't choose a Rong dog, his hearing is more sensitive than many dogs, and he also slept like this, he must have been unconscious." If you dare to steal the yamasho that the government attaches great importance to, you will release smoke, and if you can steal so much at night, there must be a lot of people who come, and eighty percent of them are bandits. They may have learned that the potato, which is easy to grow and has a large yield, and when they are hungry, they steal it back and grow it themselves in the mountains......"

Cao Min's nest of bandits was afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the government army, so they could not go down the mountain to rob or buy things, so they had been planting some good crops on the mountain, such as corn and vegetables, and had reached the point of semi-self-sufficiency. I heard that potatoes are easy to grow and have a large yield, so it is possible to grow them yourself.

Xia Shan also thought so, and hurriedly rode to Zhuangzi first.

Xia Li still wanted to take a carriage to take a look, but Xia Shi pulled her and didn't allow her to go, "I will definitely go to many officials and officials today, what kind of excitement are you going to your girl's house." Alas, if you lose it, you will lose it, as long as people are okay, give up their wealth to avoid disasters. ”

Xia Li couldn't, so he asked Tian Qing to pull Dangdang and Heizi away, and let them find the direction of the thief's escape.

said to Zhu Er's family, "Aunt Zhu is not sad, this is not to blame you, fortunately no one is hurt." ”

Let Tian Qing's family take her to the house and comfort her.

Zhu Erjia shook his head and said, "I'm going to go back and look at the ground to see how much is left." She followed Dangdang back to Zhuangzi in a carriage.

Xia and Xia were scared. Fortunately, Xia came back with Xia He, if she was a widow and was stunned by bandits in Zhuangzi, even if nothing happened, her reputation would not be good.

Xia Li was restless all day.

Her family planted a potato, and it was going to be harvested again in the next few days, and it actually went to the Evil Wolf Peak. Moreover, the people of Evil Wolf Peak also knew that the potato had so many benefits, and they risked their lives to come to the outskirts of Xiangshan Mansion to steal it. This shows that around her Zhuangzi or among her acquaintances, there must be the eyeliner of Evil Wolf Peak.

Xia Li's head was too big, but he didn't expect to hide in the city and still be targeted by bandits.

Xia Shi was also frightened, and couldn't stop sighing.

Xia Ju saw that something was wrong at home, and sensibly led Xia He and Zhao Niuniu to play in the garden of Yefu with colorful clothes and Cai Duoduo.

In the evening, Xia Shan and Zhu Er, Dangdang, and Kuroko returned. Dangdang was extremely irritable, and so many potatoes were stolen from his house, so he had to eat a lot less mashed potatoes.

Zhu Er knelt down and pleaded, "Mrs., big girl, the slave is derelict in his duties, such a big piece of taro seedlings, only a hundred and a few catties of ...... are left" and cried.

Xia Shan said, "Dangdang and Kuroko chased them to the mountains in search of the smell, and we didn't let them continue to chase them deeper, and when Dangdang didn't want to, I forced them back." The prefect Hu and the county commander Li, as well as the Qin and Zhao in the army, all went to analyze that the bandits did it and stole it back to grow it themselves. Lord Hu wanted people to send the rest of the potatoes to the provincial capital to Lord Yu, but Lord Qin disagreed. He said that these potatoes were planted by the Xia family with great difficulty, and Lord Yu promised to leave a hundred catties for the Xia family. Now there is only so much left, you should let the Xia family keep it first, and send someone to send a letter to Lord Yu to see what to do with these potatoes in the end...... Alas, Lord Zhao and I can't speak, if it weren't for Lord Qin's help, you would have worked so hard for so long, and there would be no taro left. ”

General Qin has always been so good at behaving. Since the last time he saw him and the female shopkeeper, Xia Li's impression of him has been much worse. But people helped this time, and I have to thank them.

Xia Li said, "Another day, the third uncle invited him and Uncle Zhao to the restaurant for a drink, and then gave him some gifts." He asked Tian Qing to help Zhu Er up and said, "Uncle Zhu, don't be sad, there are so many bandits who come to steal things, what can you do as a common man." It's good you didn't wake up, otherwise you wouldn't have died......"
