Xia Shan also glanced at Xia Li disapprovingly, and said, "Lili can't say that about Lord Ye. Lord Ye is young and promising, with lofty ideals, and always wants to annihilate the bandits in the mountains in one fell swoop and eliminate harm for the people. It's just that the terrain of Huaxiang Mountain is complex, and the bandits' nests are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and in the past hundred years, the court has sent heavy troops to suppress bandits several times, and more than 20 stockades have not eliminated one or two. There are only 2,000 people in our battalion, and Lord Ye led us to two bandit lairs in a year. Lord Ye loves Huzi so much, there is another reason......"

Thinking that it was a military secret, Xia Shan quickly shut up.

Due to the professional sensitivity of his previous life, Xia Li wanted to ask more about the bandits, but he thought that he was just a small peasant girl now, and he was far away from the bandits, so he didn't forget it.

Today's dishes are very hearty, like the New Year. There are cold pork head meat, braised fat sausage, stir-fried meat with green peppers, roasted tofu, as well as four vegetarian dishes, and a big bone white siad soup.

There are so many people today that the two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters can't be served. Mrs. Xia first took four large bowls, which were filled with rice, some vegetarian vegetables and tofu, and two slices of pepper and a piece of meat.

While clipping, he also said, "Our old Xia family's daughter-in-law and granddaughter enjoy happiness, they can eat a full meal, and they can eat meat with their masters." This blessing can't be found in seven miles and eight villages......"

Xia Li thought sadly that if he unfortunately crossed over and became the granddaughter of this family, he would definitely try his best to separate the family.

Xiao Yang's anger was extremely obvious, and he glared at Xia Li's mother and daughter fiercely. It's all women, why can two outsiders serve at the table?

However, she still didn't dare to say the scolding, and went to eat at the small table next to her with a big bowl.

Due to the large number of meat dishes, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter were not on the table, Mrs. Xia did not divide the meat as before, and everyone ate it casually. If Xia Erhu and Xia Sanbao clamp meat too often, the old lady will also knock on their chopsticks.

Xia almost didn't eat meat and vegetables, but he gave Xia Li a lot, and Xia Li gave some back to Xia. Xia glared at her and gave it back to her. Mrs. Xia was so angry that she shook their mother and daughter several times, and she didn't say much.

After the meal, the family chatted in the house, Xiao Yang was also lazy and hid in, and only Li took Dani and Erni to do things in the kitchen. Xia Li went to the kitchen and fed each of the three of them a candy in his mouth. She was very upset, feeling like she was also involved in the exploitation and oppression of two child laborers.

Xia Shan then walked in. He smiled and gave the three little girls ten cents each, and whispered, "The third uncle has risen to the army, and the niece and Lili will go to buy flowers to wear." ”

Xia Shan's little military sound, he will hand over more than half to his family. But since he is not often at home, Mrs. Xia will also leave him twenty yuan of pocket money. In addition to socializing flowers, he occasionally gave the surplus to his two nieces and Xia Li. He felt sorry for his two sensible nieces and felt that they were not easy, and Xia Li simply liked them.

Although Xia Li is not short of these few dollars, he has received this love.

Several little girls took the money and said with a smile, "Thank you Third Uncle (Third Uncle)." ”

Li said with a smile, "Erni is going to hide it this time, don't be found and taken away by your mother again." ”

Xia Erni blushed, pinching the money and being very embarrassed. It seems that the little private money she saved in the past was taken away by Xiao Yang.

Xia Shan said, "That's it, Erni keeps the money in Lili, and if you want to spend it, go to Lili and get it." ”

He didn't say that it was there for the Li family, for fear that Xiao Yang's would know that they were quarrelling. And the Xia family and Xia Li are not afraid of the Xiao Yang family, and the two families are far away.

Xia Erni was very reluctant, but still handed over the money to Xia Li.

Xia Li smiled, "Okay, I'll keep an account when I go back." I remember how much money Erni has with me. ”

Xia Erni muttered, "When I save enough money, I want to buy a flower bandage, buy some muslin and embroidery thread, and learn embroidery from my aunt." ”

She is a good girl who is diligent.

Xia Li smiled, "This money is reserved for Erni to buy other things." I don't need to buy bandages and embroidery threads, I have a surplus at home. Come to my house when you have time, and I can teach you. ”

Xia Erni smiled very brightly, her dark little face was full of joy, and said, "Thank you, sister." ”

Xia's mother and daughter only left the Xia family's compound at the beginning of the year.

The sky is full of stars, and the whole place is clear. The village was silent, save for the occasional barking of dogs and the sound of wah. The peasants were reluctant to light the lamps, and most of them rested at this time.

Xia Shi whispered, "Lili, your uncle will check the dog in the village with Li Zheng tomorrow, and said that Liu Gongzi may also come to the countryside, my mother is afraid." ”

Xia Li beat a drum in his heart, but still smiled, "Didn't my uncle say it, there are also Yanshan wolf dogs that were led to Liu Gongzi, and they were proven to be not Huzi......"

As soon as he entered the yard, Dangdang rushed over and hugged Xia Li's thigh.

When Xia Li bathed it, he whispered, "Your former master has already sent someone to the countryside to look for you, and when someone comes to our house to check, you will go out of the hole and enter the mountain." Remember, don't go to the back mountain, just go around the front mountain, avoid people, and go home as soon as it gets dark......"

The marshal in the previous life would not fully understand the meaning of her words, but Dangdang, who had lived two lifetimes, was smarter than the previous life, and it would definitely understand.

When he opened his mouth and threw out his tongue, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Xia Li poked its little head and said, "You can still laugh." Because of you, your former master is crazy, and my sister is also crazy. ”

In order to make it obedient the next day, Xia Li took the small mat he slept on from the east chamber to his bedroom, and rewarded it for sleeping in the same room with him.

At the end of the next morning, Xia Shan and Li Zheng from several nearby villages went from house to house, starting from Xiaowa Village, and these villages had to be investigated. When they came to Xia Li's house, it happened that the family's dog went out to play out of the dog hole, and Xia Li didn't know when he left.

Xia Shan and the others first talked about the appearance of the tiger and the lost time as usual, and walked around her yard and saw that there was indeed a dog hole. Xia Li made another report, his dog was raised at the end of March, and it looked similar to Aunt Hao's dog, with yellow hair and black hair.

Those people chose to believe her words, because there was really no reason not to believe. Where in this world is there such a stupid person who would ask for a dog instead of five thousand taels of silver? Not to mention five thousand taels of silver, it is fifty taels of silver, and those who pick up the tiger will not hesitate to hand it over.

After checking Xiaowa Village for most of the day, they didn't find Huzi, so they went to the neighboring village again.

Xia Li smiled secretly. If people think about problems according to habitual thinking, they will really make mistakes. Uncle Xia Shan wants to get ahead in the army, and he has to polish it a lot.

Just a drizzle fell in the sky at the end of the day, which made Xia Li worried. She fidgeted and would take her hat to the backyard every once in a while.

In the mist and rain, the mountains are verdant and dripping, and they are more mysterious and solemn.
