Chapter 227: Liver and Brain
Just when Xi Zien was still hesitating whether to get the cripple over.
Everyone also looked at him nervously, waiting for him to give orders.
Xi Zien thought, anyway, it's not a little bit of time, in case Li Jicai is deliberately made into a cripple, maybe, right.
Let's see it.
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a heavy rain fell.
Without warning.
Everyone was stunned, and then the crowd suddenly stirred. The other officials rolled up their sleeves one after another, wanting to cover Xi Zien from the rain and cover his retreat to the side.
Xi Zien's face was half-raised, and his eyes rolled up to look at this day, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
The cold rain fell on his face, and he shivered unconsciously, but before he could reminisce, he was helped by the attendants next to him to the eaves of the houses where the villagers lived.
The villagers, who were surrounded by soldiers, also covered their heads with their hands and tried to rush to the nearby shelter from the rain.
However, the soldiers also kept them in captivity, which caused shoving and rioting.
Wu Mian was stunned when he saw such a change, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses. A sister-in-law next to him tugged at him, and he followed and went to hide from the rain.
Originally, I thought that the senior official would bring it up and take a look at Li Jicai, if he found out that person was Li Jicai, then he would definitely not be able to escape.
However, no one expected such a change to occur. This rain really came at a timely time.
It caught him off guard and excited him.
On the other hand, the delicate and expensive adult has been surrounded by a group of people to hide from the rain, where do you still want to see Li Jicai.
Wu Mian was so excited, the rain had completely wet his hair, and he didn't care at all.
God help him.
Looking at the rain, the rain was pouring down, and it was all connected into a line, and the mist was filled, enveloping everything around it, and it was vague and unclear to see.
Xi Zien looked at the sudden heavy rain, a little stupid, no matter how the rain in the mountains is said, there is not even the slightest warning.
It was very uncomfortable to be wet all over, and I knew that he would not come out today. It's good to hide in the house, you have to run out to find someone.
After looking at the rain for a while, it was estimated that it would not stop, so he naturally thought that he could only wait for the rain to stop before going back. However, after the rain stopped, the mountain road became muddy again, and it was estimated that it would not be easy to walk.
Maybe he will have to stay overnight in this place called Chagouzi Village.
In this poor and remote mountainous area, there are all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and these people are also some people. Xi Zien didn't even want to look at them head-on.
The officials next to him saw that Xi Zien's face was very unsightly, and they secretly said in their hearts that it was not good, and the senior officials from above were angry.
"My lord, the sky in the mountains is like this, just say it will go down, and it will stop after a while." It's afternoon, and it's still a little bit before the sun sets. If the rain stops after a while, then they will still have time to go back, and if the rain keeps falling, it is estimated that they will not be able to leave tonight.
Wu Mian hid under the eaves of the house like the other villagers, and then looked at the place where the officers and soldiers stayed from a distance, and the distance between the two was still a little far.
couldn't see what those people were doing, couldn't hear what those people were saying, Wu Mian was still a little apprehensive in his heart.
In his opinion, the sooner they can go, the better, and if they drag on for a long time, something will inevitably happen.
It's like they didn't say they wanted to see Li Jicai just now, in case the rain stops or they make a temporary decision, it will be bad.
Now Wu Mian's spirit is still tight, he wants to leave this place and go home, but he is afraid that his outstanding actions will attract their suspicion, so he does not dare to move.
Of course, he was also afraid, if his wife came to him and asked him to go back, if it attracted the attention of others, it might not be possible.
All in all, the sooner these officers and soldiers go, the better, and the sooner they leave, Wu Mian will be able to put his heart down, although he has just escaped a catastrophe.
After they left, Wu Mian thought that he should transport Li Jicai to the mountain, transport Li Jicai to the mountain and raise her, and let her live in the cave on the mountain, there is no big problem.
When the limelight passed, he found a suitable opportunity to sell Li Jicai again, and he could simply sell it to the mountain village next door.
Wu Mian knew that those people must have chased them in the direction of their escape, and after they checked it, the chance of turning back was very small.
I knew that he would have thrown away this trouble at the beginning, otherwise he would not have brought so much trouble, mainly because he was too greedy and reluctant to take advantage of everything.
The villagers next to him were talking about something, but Wu Mian didn't listen to a word, his eyes were firmly locked in the direction of those officers and soldiers, and he was very focused.
Until an inquiring eye swept over, Wu Mian felt that someone was watching him and was startled in his heart, and then quickly turned the direction, and inadvertently glanced at him from the corner of his eye to see who was looking at him.
It turned out to be the village chief.
The village chief's eyes were a little meaningful, and Wu Mian felt that he seemed to be too nervous, but it was a little unnatural.
After looking at Wu Mian for a long time, he pretended to be a little innocent and turned his head to look at the village chief and said, "Village chief, who are they looking for?" The tone of the sudden unknown made it seem that he was very confused and curious.
The village chief's meaningful eyes stared at Wu Mian and he felt that he was hairy, and it was not until he gradually became a little unbearable that the village chief finally spoke.
"A woman with a scar on her neck." The village chief said.
"Oh!" Wu Mian's tone was a little embarrassed, and he only responded with one word, and he didn't know what to say again.
"When will your daughter-in-law be brought out to meet, you can't keep it at home all the time, you still have to do what you should do, isn't it because the villagers are a family?"
The village chief's sudden change of topic made Wu Mian's nervous muscles a little sour, the indescribable awkwardness between the opening and closing of his teeth, and his face was slightly unnatural.
"It's going to be done, but she's always in poor health, so she recuperates at home, and when she recovers, she will naturally bring it out." Now Wu Mian no longer argues that Li Jicai is not his daughter-in-law.
Because Li Jicai now lives in his own home, outsiders have already identified him as his daughter-in-law. If it was a side relationship, it would have been made clear a long time ago, and it was to blame that his wife was the first to start talking nonsense outside.
The village chief stared at Wu Min for a long time before nodding lightly and turning his face away.
Wu Min breathed a long sigh of relief, it was no longer clear whether it was sweat or rain behind him, his head was slightly painful, obviously he was just standing there peacefully, but he had a feeling of being out of breath, and his chest was jammed.
The head is also sweating for a while, and the body has to shiver from time to time, it is so cold this day, in fact, even shivering is extremely normal.
The uncle next to him saw Wu Mian trembling like this, and thought that he was afraid of freezing and panicking, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously.
The people next to him immediately hid their faces and smiled when they saw this scene, Wu Mian of the Wu family has always been thin and small in the next life, and it is not uncommon for him to behave like this. Such a small episode made the people next to him less nervous, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
The villagers were next to each other, and soon they began to whisper and chat, and the officers and soldiers around felt that there was nothing to do, so they listened to their chatter, but they also found it interesting, and it was okay to stand there idle anyway.
The rain fell for a while before it gradually stopped. And the sky is getting dark, and it looks like it's going to be night.
Originally, it took a while for Xi Zien and them to come into the mountains, and they thought that they could go back before dark, but they didn't expect to be delayed by a rain.
It seems that they are bound to spend the night in this village, but seeing that the houses of these villagers are all dilapidated, I wonder if the officials from the city can get used to it?
The accompanying officials didn't even dare to look at Xi Zien's eyes, for fear of being bombarded by this one. also blame themselves for not being fully prepared, which may be wronged by this one.
Xi Zien looked at the sky, the look on his face was also very unsightly, he was completely disturbed by the sudden heavy rain, but in front of everyone, he didn't want to blatantly scold them.
But to let him spend the night in this poor place in the mountains, he was ten thousand unwilling. But I don't want to be very unkind.
Xi Zien was there to think about it, to see what excuse he could find to leave here. This filthy place wasn't the place he was supposed to be.
Xi Zien's expression was cold, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and put on a serious appearance, and said a few words arrogantly to the people around him. The people next to him nodded their heads, expressions of approval and trepidation on their faces.
The other people who were watching them were a little confused, and they didn't know what was going on.
Even with nervousness across the misty sky, Wu Mian, who peeked at them, was also worried, extremely worried and panicked.
When will this kind of torment come to an end?
Xi Zien decided that even if it had rained now and the sky was dark, he would persevere in climbing the mountain and going back.
At least he had never spent the night in the mountains, and he would not want to spend the night in the mountains, which would be a loss of his identity.
Although the people next to him were surprised when they heard it, when they heard the reason used by Xi Zien, they still didn't dare to refute it with trepidation.
Because Xi Zien said that His Majesty still has very important things for him to do, he can't delay in the mountains for long, and he must rush back overnight.
How touching these words are, to be loyal to His Majesty, even if he is full of liver and brain, what is it to go down the mountain in the dark?
