Chapter 14: The Wolves
The old man's surname was Sun, and he ordered twenty catties of fine tendon meat from him, and begged him to send it to Liujia Village, Qingyun walked back with Ziling with satisfaction.
As soon as he walked out, he heard a commotion behind him, Zi Ling looked back curiously, suddenly grabbed Qingyun's arm, and shouted in panic, "Miss, look at it." ”
"What are you seeing?" Song Qingyun turned his head carelessly, and saw two people in front of the stall selling beef beating on the ground, one of them was wearing a cyan robe, and his height and appearance were exactly the same as the man he treated at night.
"It's Young Master Lin."
"Young Master Lin?" Qingyun asked in surprise.
"Yes, I asked him what his surname was, and he said that his name was Lin Xuao, and he lived in Qingyuan, and he came here to visit relatives."
Qingyun rolled her eyes, and she went to the door to inquire.
A person visiting relatives is now fighting with people on the ground, how can it be so coincidental that he is also in the South Street Market? Right behind the two?
"Ignore him, let's go." Qingyun, who didn't want to cause trouble, dragged Zi Ling away, but Zi Ling looked at her in embarrassment, "Miss, I think Brother Lin is very pitiful." ”
"What nonsense? You don't know him. "Qingyun Qi knot, this kid hasn't figured out the situation? A man with a gold ingot will be pitiful?
"Look at the things in his hand, is it Young Master Doubao's?"
Qingyun looked at it, and the thing in the hand of the man who was beaten by Lin Xu Ao was the cartilage stick she made for Doubao to grind his teeth.
At the lower end of the cartilage stick, Qingyun sewed the beads he picked up on it, probably because he saw that the beads were valuable, so he would be remembered by the thieves.
Lifting the veil covering Doubao, the little meat ball was gnawing on his little fist vigorously, and he laughed when he saw his mother, and he didn't know that he had lost his teether.
Unexpectedly, the person who was weak last night was fighting with others today, and the thief was beaten and begged for mercy in a few rounds, Lin Xu Ao snatched the things in his hand, tidied up his clothes, walked to Qingyun and handed it to her.
"It's yours."
In front of everyone's eyes, Qingyun took it in embarrassment.
"Thank you."
After speaking, he pulled Ziling to leave, and then Sun Laohan called her, saying that he didn't have time to go to Liujia Village to deliver goods, and since this brother was enthusiastic, he hired Lin Xuao to help him bring back twenty catties of beef.
Qingyun was dumbfounded after hearing this, this is too casual, right? Why did he trust Lin Xu Ao so much that he wouldn't snatch the beef halfway?
Not allowing her to object, Sun Laohan put the meat in a bamboo basket, Lin Xuao glanced at Song Qingyun, picked up the burden and waited for her to lead the way.
After buying some necessary condiments, Qingyun had no choice but to bite the bullet, hired an ox cart at the city gate, and then stuffed Lin Xu Ao with some broken silver and told him to leave.
"I promised to deliver it to my home." Lin Xuao didn't look at it when he saw it, he moved the bamboo basket to the car, and walked to the car boss to talk.
"Miss, we can't lift these meats, so let Brother Lin send them!"
Qingyun was a little annoyed, glared at Zi Ling, who didn't know the severity, sat on the other end of the car, and coaxed Doubao to sleep.
I don't know what Lin Xuao said to the car owner, he shook off the whip with a smile and drove the ox cart away.
Although Qingyun was a little suspicious, it was better to think about it for a while, so as not to be pointed out by the villagers he knew well.
After the car left the city, Lin Xuao was obviously relieved, and instead of talking to the car owner, he curled up on the side of the bamboo basket to sleep.
Qingyun was secretly looking at him all the way, and if he had no secrets, the ghosts wouldn't believe him.
When he arrived at the entrance of Liujia Village, Qingyun paid the fare and walked to the house by the river with Lin Xuao.
The closer he got there, the more curious Lin Xuao became, and he stopped several times to watch.
I wanted to go back to the village quietly, but now it's good, but seeing that Qingyun went to the city and brought back a merchant, the villagers who were hiding in the corner began to discuss.
Song Qingyun knew that there would be such a result, and said to Lin Xuao, who was struggling behind him, with a straight face, "Please go faster." ”
"Oh, sister-in-law, I just feel that this place looks familiar."
Stared at him through the veil, what do you mean?
Lin Xuao shook his head and couldn't remember when he had come, and when he saw Qingyun staring at him motionlessly, he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked forward.
Everything is safe and sound at home, and Qingyun is really worried about being robbed again.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to eat this beef yourself?" Helping her put all the meat into the kitchen, Lin Xuao washed her hands and asked curiously.
"What are you asking for?" Qingyun stared at him warily.
Lin Xu Ao rubbed his hands and laughed, Zi Lingle ran over frantically and handed him a tea bowl, "Brother Lin, can you take a break from saliva?" ”
Lin Xu Ao was not polite, took the teacup and drank three bowls in a row, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Thank you!" ”
Qingyun didn't want to be poked in the back by the villagers, so he thought about going back to the house and taking out the gold ingot he gave him last night, "You can go quickly." ”
Lin Xu Ao pushed it and said, "This is the life-saving money paid to you." ”
"I don't need it, you can take it home."
Lin Xuao scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally held the gold ingot in his arms.
"Sister-in-law, I will remember your kindness."
After Lin Xuao left, Ziling pursed her mouth, and the things that Qingyun told her were not good to do.
"Stinky girl, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour from him? Why speak for him? ”
"Miss, Brother Lin doesn't look like a bad person, otherwise you bought him for Young Master Doubao to be a guard, and see if Mrs. Wang dares to bully us again."
Qingyun rolled his eyes helplessly, and laughed angrily, "He's here to visit relatives, and he's not a slave in the hands of human teeth." ”
"But ......"
"No, but, you yourself are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, you can't protect yourself, if you are telling me something unreasonable, I will sell you to people again."
Zi Ling didn't dare to say a word in a panic, and followed Qingyun to start cutting and cleaning the beef, and finally stewed the beef at three o'clock.
Just after the time of fruiting, her family's house was surrounded by a pack of smelling wolves.
"Miss, what should I do? Will the wolves eat Young Master Doubao?"
Zi Ling trembled with fright, and couldn't count on her, so Qingyun had no choice but to hand over Doubao to her and let her hide in the house and not come out.
"Miss, don't go out." Ziling was frightened and cried, and Doubao in her arms didn't know what was going on, but she also held her mouth, but there were no tears.
Qingyun was afraid to die, after becoming a mother, she had more things to bear, and now the house was reinforced, and the wolf outside the courtyard wall wanted to come in, unless she dug a hole, she took advantage of the safety of it, so she pulled out some firewood and lit it in the yard, which suddenly reflected the sky by the river.
The people in the village had long heard the wolf howl along the river in the south, and the village chief's wife dragged Liu Xigui's shirt to prevent him from going out.
"A good dog can't stand a pack of wolves, what are you going to do?"
"Phew! Are you talking about people? Compare me to a dog, then what are you? Liu Xigui didn't come anywhere, opened the door to greet his son, and the two ran to the ancient tree in the middle of the village to knock on the gong, and after knocking for a long time, three people came.
