Chapter 309: The Horn Blown
After returning to the thatched courtyard with the Qin family, He Mai and Liulang were busy in the stove room, preparing to get a bite to eat.
Seeing that Hemai was not in high spirits, Rokuro took over the work in her hand and told her to rest.
The two haven't worked together in the stove room for a long time, and if it weren't for the Lu family's happy event today, I'm afraid the two would not have to be busy in the same room.
"I'll be paid in a few days, so I'll take you to the Pastoral Restaurant to eat something good," Rokuro said while drumming up firewood, "I've been busy for a while, and I haven't been with you much, are you angry?" ”
He Mai shook his head, "No ......"
In fact, it is false to say that she is not angry at all, but when Rokuro asked her if she was angry, the "resentment" in her heart had long disappeared without a trace.
Rokuro smiled generously, "It's good if you're not angry, my wheat should always be smiling to look good." He clapped his hands, stood up, scooped a spoonful of salt and asked, "Is this salt enough?" ”
"That's enough," He Mai replied.
She could see that Rokuro was deliberately saying something nice to make himself happy. I am afraid that the loss and sadness in her heart are written on her face.
Her heart warmed a little, stood beside Liulang, and took the shovel, "You better make the stove fire, I'll just stir-fry." ”
When the meal was cooked, He Mai went into the house with a rice bowl, ready to tell the Qin family to get up and eat.
Now that it is getting winter, the weather is cold, the old man's body is not as good as the young man, and he can't stand the wind and cool air, so he can't stand it when the Qin family comes back, and he lies on the kang to rest.
But at this time, He Mai suddenly heard a low and heavy horn sound in the distance, and he was suddenly shocked.
"What's that sound?"
"It's an alarm, it should be the mountain bandits on Tiansong Mountain who have gone down the mountain!" Liulang rushed out of the stove room, his face solemn, "There should be patrolling officials nearby, this voice, I think it is to inform the nearby officials to gather and report to the yamen!" ”
"But, aren't the mountain bandits of Tiansong Mountain rarely going down the mountain, why did they suddenly go down the mountain today?"
"The movements of the mountain bandits are unpredictable and unpredictable, and I don't know how many mountain bandits have come and where they are going. Hemai, you take your grandmother to our house, go to the cellar to hide, and I'll go and see the situation first. ”
"Okay." He Mai hurriedly responded.
Without further ado, He Mai took the Qin family back to the small courtyard of the Yang family and opened the door of the cellar.
Xiao Hei also went in, and He Mai did not forget to take some food and water before entering the cellar.
Two wax sticks were lit in the cellar, and Wheatley stood on the ladder and listened to the movement outside.
The sound of the horn lasted for half a pillar of incense and then disappeared, but she and Qin stayed in the cellar for more than an hour, but they didn't hear the sound of crying and shouting outside.
Isn't it that the Yang family's courtyard is too far away from the village, so you can't hear it?
Thinking so, He Mai told Qin to stay in the cellar in peace, and she lifted the lid of the cellar and quietly went in.
She went all the way to the village, and saw no horrific scenes, and every house was quiet, but she could still see one or two heads showing out.
"What's wrong? Wheat, wheat! What's going on out there? When a mother-in-law in the village saw Hemai, she had the audacity to call her to inquire about the news.
He Mai shook his head, "I heard that the mountain bandits from Tiansong Mountain came down, but it seems that they didn't come to our village." ”
"Mountain bandits!?" When the woman heard the word bandit, her face turned pale and she hid in the house again.
He Mai picked a small path and walked to the entrance of the village without seeing anything unusual. When I was wondering, I saw two people running in the distance.
If you look closely, it's Rokuro and Yamakusa!
Rokuro has a person behind his back and is ...... It's Ma Er!
"Hemai, go find Chu Langzhong! Ma Er is injured! Rokuro shouted to He Mai in a deep voice.
He Maikankan saw that Ma Er's face behind Liulang was covered with blood, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he threw off his steps and ran towards Chu Baishui's house.
Chu Baishui was in the house, and he also heard Fang Cai's movement, but he didn't know why, and he was studying herbs. He Mai rushed into his house, grabbed him and walked out.
"Sister-in-law Yang, sister-in-law Yang, who is injured?" Chu Baishui asked as he ran.
"Ma Er is injured," He Mai said, suddenly patting his head, "Did you bring your medicine box with you?" ”
"Bring it," Chu Baishui patted the medicine box beside him, "When Lang Zhong has seen a lot of this matter, he habitually grabs the medicine box before being taken out......
Rokuro is right, the bandits on Tiansong Mountain have indeed come down. And the one who blows the trumpet is also the official messenger.
But this group of mountain bandits who went down the mountain to rob the road somehow fell in love with the Wang family's welcoming team, and somehow wanted to take away the mountain grass.
Wang Erniu is a coward in the nest, seeing that the mountain bandits are running faster than rabbits, and a group of men running away, isn't there only the mountain grass in the sedan chair that does not know the situation!
Shancao cried into tears, lying next to Ma Er's arm in a coma, crying silently: "You fool! Since you don't marry me, why do you follow me all the way? The bandits came when they came, and they didn't say anything about harming my life, what are you rushing forward! After several stabs, you died...... What should I do! ”
"Mountain grass girl, you better go outside." Chu Baishui checked Ma Er's injuries and looked a little dignified, "Sister-in-law Yang, look at ......"
It was inconvenient for him to diagnose the mountain grass here, so Chu Baishui glanced at He Mai quite embarrassed.
He Mai understood, nodded, and pulled up Shancao's arm, "Shancao, let's go out for a while, maybe come in again, Second Brother Ma's injury will be cured?" Walk ......"
The mountain grass was half-pulled and half-dragged to the courtyard, crying sadly.
The big red wedding dress on her body was soaking wet, and I don't know if it was blood or tears.
"If Ma Er dies, I won't live anymore......" Shan Cao cried very sadly, "I was wrong, I was wrong to think he was bad, I thought he didn't marry me because I was disgusted with my poor family, it turned out that he was afraid that after marrying me, he would let me be a widow alone......"
He Mai didn't ask in detail, but wiped away her tears distressedly, "You stupid girl, don't cry, Chu Lang's traditional Chinese medicine skills are very good, with him, Second Brother Ma will definitely get better, don't cry, ah." ”
"Hemai ......" Shancao cried all over his body, shaking his head desperately, "I don't want to marry Wang Erniu, if Ma Er lives, he doesn't want me, I will follow him for the rest of my life, if he dies, I will follow him, I don't want to marry a beast like Wang Erniu......"
If the greeting team returned to Hongjube Village directly from Xiaoqing Village, it would not be able to bump into the mountain bandits who went up and down the mountain to rob the road.
But Wang Erniu was uneasy and kind, and muttered to a few men to discuss finding a deserted place.
What's the good thing about going to that place? What's more, he just said those bastard words in front of so many people.
When Shancao heard this, he was afraid and angry, so he stopped the sedan chair and asked them what they were doing.
That's why the mountain bandits came.
As soon as the mountain bandits came, the people who greeted the relatives of the Wang family ran faster than anyone else, and even the people who sent the relatives of the Lu family did not care about the mountains and grass.
If it weren't for Ma Er's appearance, the mountain grass would have been taken to the mountain long ago, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
