Chapter 17: Escape
Seeing that Ou Qingjin asked about Lin Qingmei, Xia Ruixi smiled and was about to answer, but Xia Ruiyu had already shouted: "Ah! Second sister, come on! Look at Dar, this little villain. ”
Xia Ruixi didn't care about answering, and hurried to the cradle. I saw Xia Rui's face bitter, the placket was already soaked, and the initiator Da'er was still smiling and waving his little fists.
"I hugged him kindly, why did he wet my clothes as soon as we met?" Xia Ruiyu was very depressed, but he couldn't resist Da'er's bright and innocent smile.
"He's kissing you, boy urine, warding off evil spirits." Xia Ruixi comforted Xia Ruixi indiscriminately, and pulled him to change clothes with a smile.
When Xia Ruixi came out with Da'er in her arms, Hua Laohu had already told Lin Qingmei about it. Ou Qingjin was silent, while Mu Fei looked at Xia Ruixi thoughtfully, and Xia Ruixi saw worry in his eyes.
She smiled at Mu Fei gratefully, she could probably guess what Mu Fei was thinking. Mu Fei must be worried about her, how to go in the future.
Modern monogamy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are still so many people who want to have affairs, take a second wife, and get married and divorced as easily as eating, not to mention in ancient times when three wives and four concubines became a common practice? There are too few ancient men who can truly achieve a couple for a lifetime, and today it is Lin Qingmei, so will there be anyone else in the future? Ou Qingjin has a lot of peach blossoms before marriage.
However, Xia Ruixi felt that after observing and getting along with each other during this time, she believed that Ou Qingjin was a good man who was worthy of reliance and did what he said. She promised her that she was the only one in her life, and she would definitely do it. On this road, it is very tiring to walk alone, but if two people join hands with each other and rely on each other, no matter how tired they are, they are only physically tired. She believed that they would be happy.
Mu Fei sighed slightly, and stepped forward to see Da'er: "It's better to be more Qingjin." Why don't you be my godson? Anyway, I am also alone, and let him provide for me in the future. ”
When Xia Ruixi heard what he said, he felt sad for no reason, presumably he must be very lonely, so he smiled and said, "It's so pitiful, I can't give it to you if I don't want to." She pushed Ou Qingjin: "Someone wants to be Da'er's godfather." ”
Ou Qing hurriedly suppressed his thoughts and squeezed out a smile: "Okay, but the meeting gift is indispensable." ”
Mu Fei touched his chin seriously: "What do you want?" ”
Ou Qing smiled and said: "My own brother, I won't blackmail you, just teach him the moves you use to press the bottom of the box." "He himself was limited by nature and opportunity, and failed to become a generation of wise and martial heroes, roaring the rivers and lakes, so he naturally wanted to put this wish on Da'er to realize it."
Mu Fei frowned: "Isn't this blackmail?" Rui Yu I can't even bear to teach him. Forget it, it's better than raising a son yourself. In the future, I will come to teach him for a few months every year, and by the way, I can make a living for those months, and then my younger siblings will remember to cook good dishes for me to eat. ”
Ou Qingjin laughed at first, feeling that he had earned it. Immediately heard that Mu Fei was going to live in his house for a few months and eat Xia Ruixi's specialty food, his heart was a little sour, but because he proposed it first, he had to endure it. Who knew that Mu Fei raised his feet at him again: "My shoes are broken, so let my younger siblings make a pair for me as a meeting gift for my godson." ”
Ou Qingjin's face turned blue, the last time Mu Fei was a melancholy gentleman for a while. At this meeting, Mu Fei returned to his appearance of being a hanger, and he dared to ask him for the shoes made by Xia Ruixi? What does that mean?
Mu Fei crossed his feet, stretched out a toe from the hole in the broken shoe and shook it at Xia Ruixi, ignoring Ou Qingjin's deformed face: "Brother and sister, do you know how my shoes are broken?" ”
Xia Ruixi intuitively felt that the two of them must have something to hide from her, so she said, "I want to hear about it." If you say it well, it's not that you can't make a pair of shoes for you. ”
Ou Qing glanced at Mu Fei warily and pulled Xia Ruixi aside: "What shoes do you make?" Just after giving birth, the body has not been raised, so thin, with Da'er tired and no time. Let Liang'er make him a pair. ”
Mu Fei smiled: "Stingy, you can't pretend to be it, right?" Just a pair of shoes. If you don't give it, don't give it, find so many reasons. ”
Ou Qing said solemnly: "It's true, how thin do you see her?" ”
Mu Fei smiled: "Let's go, Ruiyun, let's go and take a look around." ”
Xia Rui grinned and said, "Big brother, my feet hurt." After speaking, he glanced at Xia Ruixi, hoping to intercede for him.
Mu Fei glared at him: "Foot pain?" Do your feet hurt when you walk so much? What other kung fu do you practice? Walk! I couldn't help but say, I picked up Xia Ruiyu's collar and walked out.
Xia Ruixi felt very sorry for Xia Ruixi, and stubbornly held back and didn't intercede for him, it is not okay for a boy not to learn to endure hardship.
Hua Laohu glanced at Xia Ruixi, and hurriedly called out to Mu Fei and Xia Ruixi: "Slow down, I'll accompany you." ”
Changshou was playing outside with little yellow, Wang Zhou took Liang'er to cook in the kitchen, and at this time there were only husband and wife in the room, and the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before.
Ou Qingjin sighed: "I feel sorry for Master Lin, it's all my fault. If I hadn't left her a little leeway, and had been ruthless not to bring her here, or had sent her away earlier, she wouldn't have died. ”
He blamed himself very much, he felt that he was to blame for not making it clear to Lin Qingmei. If he didn't care about it so much, he wouldn't bring Lin Qingmei here, or scold her fiercely and mercilessly when she showed that kind of sign once. She would not have expected anything from her, but would follow Ou Qingying with all her heart, and she would not have died so tragically. He felt most sorry for Master Lin who saved his life and sent him home all the way.
Xia Ruixi said: "No one thought she would be like this. Shall I take you to her grave? She couldn't find the words to comfort Ou Qingjin, really speaking, maybe the saddest person is Ou Qingying, right? When he sees Ou Qingying again in the future, he can't tell Ou Qingying the truth, if he knows that Lin Qingmei died to chase Ou Qingjin, he doesn't know what he will think of Ou Qingjin.
Ou Qingjin hugged her tiredly: "I'm tired, let's go again tomorrow." Come here and let me take a good look at you, how did you lose weight like this? Is it sick? ”
Xia Ruixi rested his head on his shoulder: "I'm not sick, I just miss you and worry about you." I regret it, I shouldn't have let you go anyway. ”
Ou Qingjin sighed: "I originally wanted to come back earlier, but it was too chaotic outside, so I delayed it for a while." ”
The chaos outside was beyond his imagination, he didn't go to Xijing City at all, he just inquired about the news in Xijing City, and he was almost arrested as a spy.
At that time, he realized that soldiers are bandits, and bandits are soldiers, and Xiucai's unreasonable distress when he encountered soldiers really made him miserable. If it weren't for the longevity and cleverness, if it weren't for Master Xia's good deeds, he would have met many homeless people, and if he hadn't met Mu Fei, he might never have seen Xia Ruixi again.
The war outside has reached a fever pitch, especially for the strategic place of Xijing, which is completely stalemate.
For Xijing, the increasingly powerful Ruiwang is inevitable. He sent 100,000 troops to besiege the city of Xijing.
This team of King Rui is fierce and abnormal, and it is composed of regular border guards and outcasts who have been baptized by many wars. In particular, one of the death squads composed of homeless people was extremely fierce. Their purpose is very simple, they are soldiers to eat food and survive, so they dare to risk their lives to fight more than Zhao Mingtao's army. After several encounters, Zhao Mingtao's army suffered a big loss, and most of the losses were lost, and Zhao Mingtao had to defend it.
The walls of Xijing City are high and thick, with plenty of grain and grass, and there is no problem in holding it for three or four months. Zhao Mingtao had already sent someone to the capital to give a dowry before, just waiting for his decent father-in-law to marry his daughter, the relationship was established, and Xijing City was a strategic location, so he was very confident that the puppet emperor would definitely not give up on him here.
He has plenty of food and grass, but King Rui's soldiers have no food and grass, so they will inevitably not be able to consume him. If he really doesn't leave, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, he will join forces inside and outside and kill him. Zhao Mingtao had a chance of winning no matter how he calculated, so he concentrated on closing the city gate and waiting.
King Rui's soldiers were also very patient and courageous, and they had the courage to station outside the city of Xijing, intending to trap the defenders in the city. It was autumn when they came, and they had already harvested all the crops in the fields along the way.
If one side does not leave, the other side will not go out. So there is a very ridiculous phenomenon, every day there are people standing on the city wall and scolding people under the city wall, and when they are tired of scolding, they change people, and when they see the arrow coming, they will hide from it.
Ou Qingjin lingered and waited near Xijing City for a long time, trying all means, but he was still unable to find any news in Xijing City. Although many people in the homeless team knew him because they had eaten the porridge given by the Xia family, they were very enthusiastic to help him think of ideas and ask those prisoners of war, but they couldn't ask for any news.
Asking questions, he attracted the attention of the people concerned. Someone secretly told him to let him go quickly, he escaped at that time, and after walking for a day, he found that he was hung by someone again, and he couldn't get rid of it. He did not dare to lead people into the mountains, so he led them aimlessly in different directions.
The men followed them for two days, and when they got impatient, they rushed up and surrounded them. Ou Qingjin also tried to communicate with them before, telling them that he was not a spy, just an ordinary person, and he was worried about the safety of his family, so he would inquire about the news in Xijing City.
But the other party insisted that they were spies sent by the puppet emperor, and they wanted to unite with Zhao Mingtao to be unfavorable to them, and they had to take him back together, otherwise they would die.
If you really want to go with them, can you end up? Surely death. Ou Qingjin naturally wants to rise up and resist, even if there is a glimmer of life, he has to win.
There are not many people on the other side, four or five, but they are used to killing people, and their hands and feet are also very agile and sharp. But Ou Qingjin is not weak, and he is also smart and brave in his longevity, and the two of them have won a glimmer of life and escaped smoothly. But he met a path cutting thief with strong martial arts, if he hadn't happened to meet Mu Fei who Xia Ruiyu was pestering to come back to see, he and Changshou might have to explain there. Mu Fei's shoe was thrown to save him and broke when it hit the thief's knife.
And the few large packages in Changshou's hand were naturally obtained by looting the shack of the Cutting Path Thief. If they want to put it on the back burner, they must be dismissive, but this time is different, a little more possessions are more protection.
These sinister, Ou Qingjin naturally won't tell Xia Ruixi honestly, just pick up some easy words. Xia Ruixi also knew that it would not be so easy, and he pretended to be very relaxed and listened.
