Luo Shixing's eyes were wide open, her heart was beating a drum, she looked into Shengzi's eyes, and she couldn't find a trace of affection.

Shengzi secretly encouraged himself, leaned over and quickly kissed the corner of Luo Shi's lips, touched it lightly, and then, he stretched out his huge palm, covered Luo Shi's chest, pinched it and let it go, after doing these two steps, he breathed a sigh of relief, grinned happily and said:

"Okay, you're my daughter-in-law!"

Luo Shi looked stunned, but suddenly remembered that he still asked him to take advantage, and he threw it over before he thought about it.

Shengzi was slapped in the face, the smirk was still frozen on his lips, his eyes continued to glow with grievances, and he asked puzzledly:

"You're my daughter-in-law, why are you beating me?"

"Didn't your grandma teach you, let's sleep, I have to slap you to make it," Luo Shi said seriously.

The stupid big man actually took it seriously, he touched his cheek, nodded ignorantly, although he was wronged, he was not angry, and even asked weakly:

"Is that slap enough, grandma said that good things come in pairs, do you want this half of your face to come too?"

Luo Shi couldn't help laughing, and couldn't bear to tease him anymore, so she sat up from the kang, turned her head and said:

"You go to sleep, when you wake up, Ah Huang will come back"

"So, what about you?"

Shengzi has regarded Luo Shi as his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law is his own person, Ah Huang is reluctant, why is this ugly woman, he is also a little reluctant?

"I ate that noodle, and I couldn't sleep because of the food in my stomach"

"Oh......"

Frustrated his knees, Shengzi sulked with himself, he lifted the futon and got in, his tall figure filled the kang, a pair of big feet against the kang wall, the quilt barely covered the ankles, it looked very funny.

Luo Shi sat next to the kang, thinking about the hour in his heart, the unitary hour is almost over, why hasn't Erkui moved yet?

If he came, would she really want to leave Shengzi, pat her ass and leave?

Caught in a tangled hesitation, Luo Shi was restless, and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside the courtyard, and now the village was very quiet, and the barking of the dogs gradually stopped, and there was no sound.

She took out the scissors and cut the wick of the candle, and the candle burst with a clattering sound.

Just when Luo Xi thought that Erkui might not come, a fire suddenly lit up in the courtyard, and people were noisy, and they came straight to the door of the room.

"Lift his milk! Is the lady there? My Erkui is gone! ”

Shengzi heard a noise outside, a carp jumped down from the kang, he pushed open the door and stepped out, Luo Shi had to follow out—Grandma was dressed and was pacing from the west, she saw that Shengzi and Luo Shi were well dressed, their hair was not messy, and their faces were not very good.

Hiding the cough in her throat, she pulled out the wooden deadbolt and moved one step at a time, leading out of the hall door.

Luo Shi raised her eyes and saw that the person who came was Manchu's daughter-in-law, her face was tense, her eyes were full of sadness, and when she saw Luo Shi coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, with a lot of force, and asked loudly:

"I only thought he was a caring and intelligent baby, and I gave up my money to save him from the sea of suffering, but because I was distressed, I never starved him and locked him according to the rules! At noon, he said that he would only be good with you all the way, afraid that Grandma Shengzi would not give you food, and said to me that he would come to you to persuade you to be soft, I didn't think so much, so I should go to him, who wants him to go...... He never came back! ”

Grandma was also surprised, and hurriedly looked at Luo Shi:

"Has Erkui ever been here? No, she hid in the room one day, and my wife stayed outside the door, and I didn't see outsiders looking for her, it must be an excuse for the wolf-hearted bastard boy to talk nonsense, and people must have run away without a trace at this time."

Luo Shi wrung his eyebrows, worried about whether something had happened to Erkui, since he said that he would come to her when he was in charge, he would never run away alone.

When the daughter-in-law heard Grandma Shengzi say this, she didn't believe it at first, but when she set her eyes on Shengzi, who never lied-

Shengzi shook her head, and her last glimmer of hope was dashed.

The daughter-in-law was paralyzed, and sat down on the ground, she patted her thigh and cried constantly, cursing Erkui for having no conscience, and crying that her life was hard and soft-hearted, and she deserved to be deceived and her family wealth was scattered.

Holding torches and blushing faces, seeing his daughter-in-law crying in the yard of the house, arguing for the flowers and candles in the cave room that Shengzi had finally obtained, it really shouldn't be, even if there is a big grievance in his heart, he should go home and say it.

So he reached out and picked up the woman, and scolded him in a deep tone:

"I said earlier that this is a game for you to jump, you don't believe that you have to be kind, other people's children, you will die if you think you are your mother? It's not crawling out of your own intestines, it's all unreliable! ”

"Who doesn't want a biological son! My eldest and second and third went to the battlefield one by one...... None of them came back, so I gave birth to three sons, and I didn't have any blood left with me, my life was really miserable! ”

The daughter-in-law couldn't be suppressed, she cried loudly, and the dog barked so loudly that the neighbors in the village got up from the kang bed and came out to see the excitement in their clothes.

In the middle of the night, the frost was heavy, the cold wind was howling, and the white air in their mouths kept rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, preferring to freeze their ears rather than miss this good show.

Grandma Shengzi coughed, obviously her face was not very good, she gasped a few times, stepped forward on crutches to comfort her daughter-in-law and said:

"Look at the injury on the doll's body doesn't look fake, it shouldn't be a game done with Li Dahu, and wait, at his age, it's the time to be playful, maybe he can't go to the mountains and forests to have fun, and forget about home for a while"

The daughter-in-law was dragged up by her husband, bowed her head and wiped her tears, and choked up:

"You don't have to comfort me, I'm stupid, I can't report this matter to the official to chase people, how can I open my mouth when I am kidnapped......"

Speaking of which, she still resigned herself to her fate.

Luo Shi stood in the courtyard, looking at the dark village road from afar, at this time, the cold wind carried the sound of the carriage and chariots, wafting into the ears.

She said to herself: Coming?

Everyone followed Luo Shi's gaze, and after a while, they saw a carriage break into everyone's sight against the moonlight.

Erkui set up the car and drove all the way to the outside of the courtyard, and when he saw a lot of people outside the courtyard, he was obviously startled, and he shouted, and he stopped the horse-

Seeing Erkui go and return, Manchu's daughter-in-law was stunned for a while, and she wanted to step forward to question, but she saw that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was covered with injuries.

"What's going on? Why are you so embarrassed? But got into a fight? ”

"Mother, I'm fine! I'm coming back late, so I'm worried."

Erkui jumped out of the car and stood in front of Luo Shi, he scratched his cheeks, his eyes were full of guilt: He came back late, and the village is now in this posture, and if he wants to secretly help Luo Shi escape, I am afraid that he will not be able to.

"Where have you been? How did it hurt like this? This carriage ......"

Luo Xi glanced at it and knew that this was Li Dahu's carriage.

Erkui's face was swollen, and he lowered his head and said: "I went to Li Dahu to settle the score, he kidnapped so many people and harmed many families, but they didn't jump out of the stones, which parents are not sad or sad?" Trekking mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, I'm afraid I won't see my relatives in this life."

The people in the village were scornful, and no one wanted this kind of thing to fall on their own heads, but in order to save some money, they were willing to admit the act of buying a daughter-in-law. Now the young man's mouth is solemn, and many people who buy daughters-in-law are very embarrassed, and they bow their heads guiltily.

Luo Shi sighed helplessly: "Aunt Manchu finally rescued you from the fire pit, so that you don't have to follow Li Dahu to endure hardships, and the beans are youthful, but you are looking for him to settle accounts with your bare hands?" ”

Erkui's black eyes were bright, and he took out a bag of silver from the carriage, shook it, and said:

"It was God who opened his eyes and told me to touch him in the hook fence, he was jealous and offended the officials of the Liangzhou Mansion, I reported him loudly at the time that he was a kidnapper, and he was immediately taken to prison by the officials, but when I left, I was beaten by him a few times - hiss"

He grinned and touched the wound, gasped, paused and continued, "But I brought the carriage and the silver!" I'm going to ransom everyone back and take them back to Liangzhou!" Sister, I will sell the three taels of silver! ”

After that, Er Kui first took out ten taels of broken silver from the silver money bag and stuffed it into the hands of the daughter-in-law who was full of hoarding, counting Luo Shi and his own selling silver, a total of ten taels.

The daughter-in-law is not collected, nor is it not accepted, her palms are folded, after all, she is someone else's child, and if she wants to keep him, she can't say anything.

Erkui is a personal elf, so he naturally knows her thoughts, so he hurriedly added: "Mother, don't worry, I am willing to be your son to support you, whoever treats me well, I will repay them 100%, I just want to send them home, I will definitely come back!" ”

The daughter-in-law's eyes were red, and she felt that the silver in her palm was hot, and she was very moved.

Luo Xi knew that Erkui was a gracious person, she cared for him at the beginning, and she could ask him to take care of him all the way, and she didn't forget to take her to escape, it can be seen that his person, he was full of daughters-in-law and treated him well, he would never be ungrateful and lie and run away.

But she still couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect Erkui to punish Li Dahu and take back all the silver?

Before she could speak, Grandma Shengzi had already stood up, she smashed her crutches to the ground excitedly, and said solemnly to Erkui:

"She is already a member of our family, and she has entered the cave house with my family's son, how can she say that she will be redeemed!"

The onlookers around immediately echoed: "That's right, the raw rice is cooked and cooked, where is there any ransom, and it's not sold into the hook bar, and you can still spend money to be good after receiving customers!" ”

This is a vulgar and ugly analogy, and Grandma Shengzi immediately glared at it, raised the cane in her hand and was about to hit it - the man fled with his head in his hands, and repeatedly denounced and forgiveness: "I said something wrong, I said something wrong!" ”

With this action, Grandma Shengzi gasped as if pulling a bellows, and if she stayed in the daytime, she would definitely be able to see her blue face.

Luo Shi took a step forward, since her throat was burned, her speech was sluggish and hoarse, not good, with the mood at the moment, it seemed to be crying:

"Erkui, you can't be the master of this matter, it's better to go to the village chief tomorrow and ask, after all, it still depends on their own wishes, if they are determined to go home, then ask the village chief to come forward, you pay more money to redeem people, if you voluntarily stay, you don't have to bother anymore"

There is a point in this.

I don't know what happened to the rest of the women, some of them were fierce, and they were locked up for a few days, and they didn't act until they had figured it out; Some people with a weak temper, I'm afraid that they have already been on the kang at this time, even if they lose their reputation, even if they go back, maybe they don't have a good family business, and they will be criticized by the neighbors, so it is better to stay here and live their own peaceful life.

Erkui doesn't seem to understand, and he doesn't understand Luo Shi's words, he has the heart of a fist, and wants to save people back, how can anyone be unwilling?

Raising his dark eyes, he stared at Luo Shi and asked tentatively:

"What about you, Sister? Are you going back to Tongzhou? ”

These words hit Luo Shi's heart, she can't go back to Tongzhou, but it's not a matter of staying in Shengzi's place, so where is her home?

Seeing that Luo Shi was silent, Erkui was a little anxious, and he was about to step forward to pull her sleeve, but Grandma Shengzi had already rushed up with a cane and scolded:

"Bastard boy, you dare to kidnap my daughter-in-law, my wife is fighting with you today"

As soon as her words fell, she rolled her eyes, and the whole person froze in place, but she didn't take a breath, and fell straight to the ground on her back!

There was a bang, and everyone turned pale with fright.
