The middle-aged foreman, who was spinning around the car, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed over to the three of them, and the boy standing on the wheels also breathed a sigh of relief and grinned. Li Zongliang and the middle-aged elder worker said a few polite words, and Wei Shuisheng looked around the car that fell in the ditch, and several people first carried the five boxes on the car to the road, looking at the car, they were also helpless, the axle of the car was disconnected from the front, and the car could not be used again anyway.

The four of them carried the car back to the road together, put it on the side of the road and put it in an unobstructed place, the middle-aged and senior workers looked at the five big and heavy boxes piled up on the road embarrassedly, looked at the donkey and the car led by Li Zonggui, and discussed with a smile: "A few little brothers, this is our young master, our owner lives in the front village, a few little brothers, you see, can you take your car, send one, our owner must thank a few, our owner is a scholar, and he has been an official in the past, and it is too late to say that this day is too late, A few little brothers also happened to stay in our village for one night, and they will be on the road early tomorrow morning. ”

Li Xiaoqi followed behind Wei Shuisheng, listened to the words of the middle-aged worker, and smiled bitterly in his heart, if your owner is an illiterate old man, maybe he can still send it, and those who are literate and have been officials can not go, and those who are officials read the Di newspaper, and the things that this painting album takes, the Di copy is all attached, maybe I happened to see their pictures, and they are a group of fugitives, didn't they send them to the door? !

Li Xiaoqi pulled Li Zongliang and said in a low voice: "Big brother, we still have to hurry, how can we have time to send them boxes, his family, but he is literate and has been an official, the family will definitely come over in a while, let's go." ”

Wei Shuisheng frowned, pulled Li Zongliang back a few steps, glanced at the pleading middle-aged elder worker and the little boy with expectant eyes, and persuaded in a low voice: "Although •••••• Xiaoqi is right, even if you help, you have to be careful, they are officials." ”

"It's not that you can't help, it's that you can't help!" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly followed closely, Li Erhuai put his hands on his sleeves, and listened to everyone's discussion indifferently, he didn't care about such a heart, anyway, he listened to the eldest brother.

Li Zongliang turned his head to look at the remnants of the sunset on the horizon, and then turned his head to sweep the empty silence around him and the mountains and woodlands of Hesse not far away, lowered his head and thought for a moment, looked up at Wei Shuisheng, and said in a low voice: "I can't help it, we listened to the wolf howl all night last night, and several of them rushed to the edge of the ancestral hall, this side is closer to the mountain, I am afraid that as soon as it gets dark, there will be wolves and beasts coming and going, this is a matter of human life, and we can't help it." ”

"Big brother wait!" Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes at the wisps of cooking smoke in the distant village, stepped on the snow and walked a few steps forward, looked at the middle-aged elder worker and asked, "Does your owner live in the village over there?" It's only half an hour to walk over? ”

"Yes, yes, there it is, just walk away! It's so close, just walk away! Changgong replied hurriedly with surprise.

Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and smiled, turned back, pulled Li Zongliang, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, you heard it, they will go back when they go, but they are just thinking about things, we can't put ourselves in to protect those boxes of things for them!" ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at Li Zongliang, who was frowning, and stretched out his hand to pull Li Erhuai: "Brother Erhuai, let's go, let's talk to him!" ”

Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Zongliang and didn't speak, Li Erhuai turned around and followed Li Xiaoqi to the middle-aged Changgong and the little boy, Li Xiaoqi looked at Changgong, squinted and said with a smile: "Your house is so close, just walk away, besides, you still have such a good green mule, hurry up and ride the mule back, this thing is put here first, and no one steals it, even if someone steals it, the money is nothing but something outside the body, and it is most important to preserve the talent, your young master is always more important than these boxes of things, we have urgent matters, we have to hurry, It's been a long time since I helped you lift the car, but it won't help you much! ”

After speaking, without waiting for the middle-aged elder worker to answer, he pulled Li Erhuai and walked back, and the little boy standing on the wheel shouted: "No! This box is full of books, and you can't lose a single one! If a person dies, he can't lose the book, this is what my father said, Uncle Baocai went back to call someone, I'm watching here! ”

Li Xiaoqi exhaled angrily, turned around, crossed his waist, and pointed at the little boy and was about to reprimand, Li Zongliang grabbed her from behind: "Xiaoqi, this method doesn't work, it will take half an hour to walk from here to that village, this snow is deep, even if you ride a mule, you see, it's almost dark this day, they are old and young, even if they encounter a wolf, they can't deal with it, forget it, don't say more, hurry up and carry the box to our car, send them back, Dad said, this has the rules of being a man, and you can't do anything if you don't save you when you die!" Erhuai hurriedly helped carry the box! ”

Li Erhuai simply agreed, beckoned Li Zonggui to pull the car over, and ran over to carry the box with the middle-aged and senior workers first, Li Xiaoqi was so angry that he almost jumped up, but looking at Li Zongliang with a serious face, he didn't dare to jump up, and he hugged his hands angrily and muttered loudly: "Our old donkey, old like that, where can I pull this young master's several large boxes of books!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, use this big green mule, you can't be tired of this little brother's donkey!" The middle-aged elder worker hurriedly answered happily, Li Xiaoqi slanted his eyes, rubbed to Wei Shuisheng's side, and pulled him, Wei Shuisheng hurriedly straightened up, followed Li Xiaoqi to retreat to the back of the car, Li Xiaoqi looked at the long worker and the little boy, and said in a low voice: "This is sent over, we have to rest at their house tonight, if we insist on leaving, it will be suspicious, besides, there is no place to go around here, so I have to rest for one night, and when I enter the village later, I have to pay attention to remember the way into and out of the village, well, it's best, hold that milk doll in our hands." ”

Li Xiaoqi motioned to the little boy, Wei Shuisheng looked down at Li Xiaoyi, gently rubbed Li Xiaoyi's head, and whispered with a hint of bitterness: "My sister thinks too much, this person's heart is flesh and blood, it's not so bad, don't worry, besides, this place is not far from Nanyue, poor and remote, how can it be so coincidental that you can recognize us when you meet every household?" Take 10,000 steps back, if you really meet the wicked person who will take revenge, how many brothers do you have, it's a big deal to kill a bloody way out, don't worry. ”

Wei Shuisheng paused, and continued in a very sad voice: "If it weren't for Master's kindness, how could there be our brothers, sisters, people can't see death without help." ”

Li Xiaoqi was speechless for a while, and nodded with his eyes down.

Packed the box and changed to a mule, just walked a few steps, it was so dark that he could barely reach out and see his fingers, the long-term worker held high the air death wind lamp, leading the way in front, Li Zonggui led the old green donkey to follow closely, Li Erhuai led the big green mule to pull the car, Li Xiaoqi and the little boy sat on the car, twisted their heads and ignored each other, Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng took out their spears from the car, held them in their hands, followed the car left and right, vigilant of the surrounding movements.

In addition to stabbing a few wolves to death along the way, he didn't encounter any other fierce beasts, and he entered the village safely, Li Xiaoqi was full of suspicion, his eyes rolled and thought for a moment, he stretched out his hand and stabbed the little boy, and asked loudly: "Are you really a young master?" You haven't arrived home so late, and your family isn't worried? Don't let people come out to look for you? Are you sure that if you meet us, we will keep you home? ”

Wei Shuisheng paused, waited intently for the little boy's answer, and before the little boy spoke, the chief worker in front of him took over with a somewhat uncomfortable smile: "I don't know that the young master will come back today!" I rushed to the city early this morning to pick up the young master, the master originally ordered not to rush back today, tomorrow after breakfast and then leave, when I got home, that is, before and after, the young master was in a hurry to rush back, all blamed me, and I also wanted to come back, so I should go down, if I didn't meet a few of you nobles, it would have become the blood food in the mouths of these wolves•••••• hey! Hair! It's me! The young master is back! ”

The middle-aged elder worker saw a young man with a lantern coming not far away, and hurriedly shouted, the long hair came over with a lantern and held it to take a photo, and turned sharply to the courtyard with a red lantern hanging at the gate of Zhuangtou, and shouted while running: "Master, wife, the young master is back!" The young master is back! ”

The two long-term workers unloaded the threshold, the car entered the yard, and the big red lanterns were hung around the yard, illuminating the yard brightly, Li Xiaoqi jumped out of the car and stood next to Wei Shuisheng, the little boy raised his chin at Li Xiaoqi like a demonstration, and loudly commanded the long-term workers to carry the boxes from the car, showing his identity as a young master.

There was a sound of footsteps in the moon gate, several lanterns came from the inner courtyard, a middle-aged man about forty years old, medium-sized, and a peaceful face walked into the courtyard without panic, and stretched out his hand to pull up the son of the long salute, the middle-aged and long-aged man greeted the middle-aged man, and even the company commander thanked him and introduced: "Master, they are all small fools, I thought I could rush back today, but the axle on the side road was broken again, if it weren't for these strong men to send the young master back, the little one and the young master were almost •••••• small fools!" ”

"It's okay, go down and rest." The middle-aged man Wen Yan sent the middle-aged long-term worker, turned around, walked to Li Zongliang and the others with his son, hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you for a few strong men, my surname is Fan, Fan Dali, may I ask how many strong men have your surname?" ”

"Mr. Fan is polite, don't dare to be, don't be surnamed Mu, this is the •••••• of the four younger brothers"

Li Zongliang and Mr. Fan went back and forth, and politely bowed their hands, and you and I entered the living room in the front yard.

Not long after, several long-term workers sent hot water, hot tea, hot rice, hot dishes and a large pot of liquor in boiling water in, Mr. Fan enthusiastically let the five people, Li Xiaoqi looked at Li Erhuai who was staring at the wine pot, raised his foot, and stepped on Li Erhuai's feet fiercely, Li Erhuai grinned, hurriedly turned his head, did not dare to stare at the wine pot again, Li Zongliang pushed away the wine pot and said politely: "Thank you Mr. for your kindness, my father has taught me that I can't drink alcohol when I go out, and my father's order is not violated." ”
