Chapter 264: Clever Response
"You kid, why are you so rude?" Although Aunt Zhang had always been reproachful, she smiled kindly on her face, and hurriedly stretched out her chopsticks to clip a chopstick dish for her son.
Looking at this scene of mother and son's filial piety, Li Shi's throat was like being blocked, and the food in his mouth was like wax chewing.
Li Hu walked in from outside with a bowl, his expression was a little wrong, Li Shi hurriedly stood up and took a look, the food in the bowl was piled up, and there was no trace of touching at all.
"It's... Didn't eat? Li Shi was surprised.
Li Hu sat next to Li Shi, put the bowl on the table, and said with a worried expression: "Hmm~"
"Ah, how does this work?" Li Shi stood up and was about to run out, "You sit down for me and eat well~" Li Hu said sharply, his face was gloomy.
Li Shi turned his head and saw that his brother's face was not good, and he didn't dare to provoke his brother for a while, so he sat down obediently.
Lu Yue sat in the room for a while, then stood up and closed the window.
Doctor Zhu and Zhu Qing were locked up, I don't know if those account books were exposed? Now that the situation in the city is so bad, and there are those innocent people who are sick, this Lin Zhiwen's wolf ambition will definitely not care about the life and death of those people.
No, she can't sit still now, she must find a way to save the old man and Zhu Qing, as well as the innocent people in that city.
It's just that this Governor Zhao doesn't know what he is like.
It seems that she has to think of other ways, and she has to take care of her body quickly.
Lu Yue was thinking about how to save her when she heard a knock on her door.
She walked over and opened the door, it was actually Aunt Zhang, Lu Yue was slightly surprised: "Aunt Zhang? ”
Aunt Zhang smiled and sent the bowl in her hand forward, "I heard that you didn't have dinner, so I steamed an egg for you, you can taste it~"
"Ah, Aunt Zhang doesn't have to be so troublesome~" Lu Yue hurriedly let people in, and Aunt Zhang walked in with a smile while holding the bowl in her hand.
She put the bowl on the table with her hand, and sat down with a kind look in her eyes, "Eat quickly, otherwise you will be hungry this night." ”
Lu Yue was a little embarrassed, so she had to take a bite, the taste was light and very tender.
But she really didn't have much appetite, and she couldn't eat at all.
But when I looked up, I saw this lady staring at herself, the smile on her face was amiable, and she couldn't say no for a while, and I was afraid that it would be too late for this egg.
"People, there is nothing that cannot be overcome in this life, no matter how difficult it is, it will always pass, girl~" Aunt Zhang patted Lu Yue's shoulder soothingly.
With that, she got up and left.
Lu Yue held the spoon in her hand for a long time and didn't move, her eyes turned red.
On the second day, Aunt Zhang was chopping grass for the chickens.
Lu Yue was sitting on the side, chatting with Aunt Zhang, and Li Hu was helping to chop wood.
Suddenly, Li Shi and Aunt Zhang's son hurriedly ran in, "Oh no, there are officers and soldiers coming." ”
Lu Yue stood up suddenly, grabbed Li Shi's arm, and said hurriedly: "What's the matter?" How could there be officers and soldiers coming? ”
"It's... Then the old man and the child who cheated us out of our money yesterday are coming here with officers and soldiers~" Li Shi was so anxious that his head was sweating.
Li Hu had already walked to Lu Yue in a few steps, one was protected in front of Lu Yue, Li Shi quickly found the knife he carried, and the two of them looked like they were going to work hard, which made Aunt Zhang's face change.
She grabbed the two of them, "Come with me~"
Aunt Zhang dragged the three of them to the backyard, where there were a few chickens and a bunch of hay. She climbed over the fence around the chickens a few times, and motioned for the crowd to hurry up.
Aunt Zhang walked to a place, squatted down to uncover the wooden board covering it, and said to the three people behind her: "You guys hurry down, this is our family's vegetable cellar~"
Li Hu glanced at a few people, nodded hurriedly, and he jumped into the vegetable cellar with Lu Yue, followed by Li Shi.
Aunt Zhang gestured to everyone, signaling them not to make a sound, so she covered the vegetable cellar a few times and covered it with a layer of hay.
As soon as she led her son to the front yard, a group of fierce officers and soldiers broke in, and the leader directly waved the knife forward, "We were ordered to track down the fugitives, are there two men and one woman living in your house?" ”
"Sir, are you mistaken? There are no guests in our house at all, you heard that those are our relatives, my sister and brother-in-law, they just went back today~"
"Wow~" The leader waved his hand and took out three portraits, Aunt Zhang's eyes looked at the portrait, this woman didn't look alike, and the other two people did have some similarities.
"See clearly, that's it~" The leader looked five big and three thick, and his eyes were vicious.
Aunt Zhang's heart jumped, and she smiled: "My lord, the village woman has never seen it." ”
"You, come over to me~" The leader asked angrily at an old man and a young man not far away, "Did you really see it?" ”
"Yes, yes, the villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense~" The old man bowed his body and said with a flattering face.
"Search for me~" The leader said sharply.
"Yes~" The officers and soldiers instantly scattered around to search.
"Hey, you...."Aunt Zhang's fingers trembled with anger, and before she finished speaking, those officers and soldiers had already broken in.
"My lord, our family really doesn't have it~" Aunt Zhang raised her foot to catch up with the leader and said.
The leader glanced back at Aunt Zhang, and said coldly: "Is there any, I won't know until after the search." ”
He raised his feet and sat on a chair in the courtyard, and Aunt Zhang's eyes flashed, looking around.
After a while, the officer and soldier came running to report.
"My lord, no~"
"My lord, there's no one here~"
In the blink of an eye, all the officers and soldiers stood in the courtyard, and the leader stood up and glanced at the courtyard, muttering: "No~"
"What's this backyard of yours?" The leader said and raised his feet and walked to the backyard.
Aunt Zhang's face was full of smiles, and she said, "My lord, there are only a few chickens in this backyard~"
"Chickens?" The leader rubbed his hands together with a salivating look in his eyes.
Aunt Zhang secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly followed.
A group of officers and soldiers looked at the chickens running away as if they had never eaten meat, and their eyes were about to glow green.
The leading adult's eyes also looked at the chickens in the fence, his eyes swept over the hay, and Aunt Zhang's heart was about to freeze and her throat jumped out.
"What are you doing with this hay?"
"Hey, this hay is used to burn and light the fire~" Aunt Zhang laughed a few times, and saw those people staring at the chickens with burning eyes.
Aunt Zhang had an idea, and suddenly had an idea in her heart, and shouted to her son: "Baby, you go and catch chickens for the adults~"
Aunt Zhang's son seemed more calm than Aunt Zhang, and reached out to catch the chicken, but the chicken jumped out quickly and started a desperate struggle with Aunt Zhang's son, jumping up and down.
The chicken feathers flew in the sky, and the people were panting after them, but the chicken could not be found.
However, Aunt Lin was in a hurry, and the three people in the vegetable cellar were even more anxious, if someone climbed over the fence and came in to catch chickens, they would soon notice the vegetable cellar and find them.
Soon, the waiting leader was not happy, and scolded: "I can't even catch a chicken, come on, you guys go and catch it~"
"Yes~"
Aunt Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, look at it, it's very dirty, it's full of, and your little heart is on your shoes~"
As he was talking, the chicken "cluck~" flew and fell to the ground.
Aunt Zhang's son suddenly pounced forward and hurriedly grabbed the flying chicken.
In the vegetable cellar, Li Hu withdrew his hand, and Lu Yue and Li Shi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Zhang took the chicken with a smile and gave it to the leader, "My lord, you have caught it~"
"Hmph~" The leading adult snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the other thin chickens that were not enough to stuff his teeth, and turned around and said, "Let's go~"
Those officers and soldiers followed the uproar and walked away, and the old man who came with him could still be heard shouting from a distance: "My lord, I am telling the truth, my lord~"
The old man was pushed by the officers and soldiers, and he almost fell to the ground, which frightened the child and cried.
Aunt Zhang sighed, closed the door, and then ran to the backyard and hurriedly released the three of them out of the vegetable cellar.
Li Hu packed his baggage a few times and wanted to leave with Lu Yue and Li Shi, but was stopped by Aunt Zhang, "Li Hu, where are you going to take them at this time?" Besides, the injuries on this girl's body have not healed yet, don't worry, they have checked this piece, and they will definitely not check it again. ”
Lu Yue nodded after hearing this, and said with a look of agreement: "Yes, Aunt Zhang is right, these officers and soldiers have been running hard and tired all day, and there must be no time to check this piece again, and besides, we have nothing to prepare, so it is better to delay it here for two more days and make plans again." ”
Since Lu Yue had spoken, Li Hu had no choice but to give up and put the packed salute back.
Everyone has gone through the thrilling scene just now, and now they look at each other again, and they can't help but smile at the corners of their mouths.
Lu Yue saluted Aunt Zhang, her eyes brightened and said, "Thank you Auntie today~"
"Oh, girl, this is absolutely unacceptable, aren't you tormenting me like this?" Aunt Zhang hurriedly helped Lu Yue up, she couldn't afford such a big gift.
Lu Yue shook her head with a smile and said with a smile: "Auntie, it should be~"
The two brothers, Li Hu and Li Shi, also respectfully thanked Aunt Zhang.
"Hey, I said you, why are you so polite?" Aunt Zhang waved her hand.
There was no smile on everyone's faces.
After two days, Lu Yue's external injuries were almost healed, and her entire chest cavity was no longer so painful.
Originally, I said that I would leave today, but the doctor prescribed the medicine to Lu Yue and there was still the last pair of medicine left, how could there be any effort to boil the medicine on the way?
So Lu Yue, Li Hu and others were taken by Aunt Zhang again
Said to stay for a day.
Aunt Zhang deliberately got up early in the morning and asked her son to kill a chicken, and also pulled some fresh wild vegetables, saying that she would make some vegetable cakes for Lu Yue and them to eat on the road.
In the morning, everyone was busy, Lu Yue picked fresh wild vegetable leaves, Aunt Zhang was in the kitchen and noodles, Li Hu had great strength and specialized in chopping firewood.
There are also two people, Li Shi and Zhang Damiang's son, who went to catch chickens, but the two who were defenseless were scratched with a paw.
I don't know what kind of panacea the chicken ate, for a while, the chicken flew and the dog jumped, and the two of them chased and intercepted the face of the chicken's paw print, which made several people laugh.
Li Shi was so ashamed that his head was red and his neck was thick, and in the end, he even used light skills, and finally caught the chicken in the laughter of everyone.
Lu Yue looked at the fried chicken with a funny face, and said teasingly: "Chicken, chicken, why are you so naughty?" ”
"......" Li Shishi hung down and couldn't wait to find a crack in the spot to drill down.
