"Three days ago, because it was difficult to catch fish in the vicinity recently, my family officials planned to go to a farther place to fish, saying that it was to the west, in the direction of the center of the lake.

There have been times before, when I came back, I would come back later, but at most I would come back before the second watch, and on that day, it was all three watches, but there was no one in sight.

The next day, I went to look for the village elder and begged him to arrange for someone to find my family official, but so far, I still haven't found it. ”

Saying that, the woman couldn't control it anymore, tears flowed, and Xiao'e and the others on the side also panicked, so they could only hug her tightly in a hurry.

"In the middle of the lake?"

A thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Han's heart, "Madam, dare to ask if there is a river village in the middle of this lake?" ”

Hearing Xiao Han's question, the woman was slightly stunned, "Hui Gongzi, there is indeed a strong man from Lianjiang Water Village in the middle of the lake."

However, Nalianjiang Water Village will not be embarrassed for us fishermen on weekdays, and my family officials will not have an accident because of this.

Gongzi didn't know that the people in the Lianjiang Water Village were originally built by fishermen who couldn't live nearby, so they would not be embarrassed by the people who fished on the Taihu Lake.

Lianjiang Water Village is mostly active on the river on weekdays, and I have never heard of any fishermen who have been harmed by them, but I have heard from time to time that there are some fishermen who can't get by, and they will run over to take refuge. ”

Hey? This Jiangshui Village is quite smart, and he also understands the truth that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest.

It's a pity, looking at the composition of this gang of water bandits, most of them are fishermen near Taihu Lake, and if you think about it, there won't be many people with strong martial arts?

If it were an ordinary ancient world, few of these fishermen who fished for a living on weekdays would be thin.

In addition, the fishermen watch the sky and eat on weekdays, and most of them are brave and ruthless people, which is a good seedling to be a water bandit.

Generally, such a thing will give the imperial court a headache, and the most famous one is the 800 miles of water in Liangshan.

It's a pity that this world is not an ordinary world, but there are martial arts masters, this kind of unconventional power exists.

Don't look at the strong power, being beaten by the strong martial arts Murong Fu, where can he resist?

"I heard that the Lianjiang Water Village was exterminated three days ago, your family officials, is it because of this, so they didn't come back?"

"What!"

Hearing Xiao Han say that the Lianjiang Water Village was destroyed, the woman obviously had a shocked expression, hurriedly got up, and prepared to rush out.

However, he was pulled by Xiao Han.

"Why is Madame so anxious? Could it be that there is something hidden in this? ”

"No... It's nothing. ”

Pulled by Xiao Han, the woman reacted, not as urgent as just now, and withdrew her hand from Xiao Han, looking a little strange.

"By the way, madam, do you know where the Mantuo Villa is above this Taihu Lake?"

After delaying for so long, Xiao Han finally remembered why he came to this fishing village.

"Mantuo Villa? I've never heard of this name, is it on this Taihu Lake? ”

The woman frowned and shook her head, indicating that she had not heard of it.

"Does that lady know where the swallow dock is?"

There is no news from Mantuo Villa, as long as you know whether this swallow dock is there, there is not much difference.

"I've heard of Swallow Dock, it's almost thirty miles northwest from here."

Getting the location of Swallow Dock, Xiao Han's purpose of this trip was achieved.

However, he looked at Xiao'e and the little boy who were holding his mother tightly, and saw the woman with a sad face, unconsciously, and he couldn't let go of it in his heart.

"If, I mean, if you don't find your official, then madam, what are you going to do?"

That's what the woman was worried about.

It's been three days, and my own officials haven't come back yet, so I guess it's a lot of bad luck, but I'm a weak woman with two children, what can I do in the future?

The woman stood there, her face full of tangle and sorrow, and she thought for a long time before she spoke softly.

"The concubine was not from this Lin family village, but in the early years, her hometown was affected by a disaster, and her father fled here with himself and his brother.

However, a few years ago, the family wrote that they had regained their stability, but at that time the concubine was already married, so the father took his brother back first.

Some time ago, my father sent a letter to ask about the current situation, and I was planning to save money and think about when to visit, but I didn't want to, this happened.

Although the officials of my family are also from this Lin family village, their in-laws have also gone, and there are no blood brothers.

Besides, everyone's family background is not very good, and it is impossible to rely on others to help them in the future.

I plan to take Xiao'e and Chong'er to Tokyo and join their grandfather after a while, if there is still no news of my family's officials. ”

This is what the woman thought of after careful consideration, and she continued to stay here unless she remarried, or she would be a weak woman with two oil bottles, where would she live.

If she remarries, her daughter and son are so old, it is difficult to guarantee that her husband's family will have no opinions, and she can't bear to see her two children suffer.

So he had to venture to Tokyo and take refuge with his father and brother.

"It's not a long way to get to Tokyo." Xiao Han thought about it and took out a bag from his arms.

"Here, there is some money here, you can use it to entangle, and the married daughter will go back to her parents' house to live, and she will be treated coldly by some brothers and sisters-in-law, with this money, you will be better."

And he put the bag into the woman's hand, and it was not much money, but less than a hundred taels of silver and ten taels of gold, which he had taken from the immeasurables.

Such a small amount of money is really not worth mentioning for Xiao Han, but for a poor family like a woman, it is too valuable.

Feeling the weight of the bag, although she didn't open it, the woman knew it. There's definitely a lot of money in it.

"Childe, this money, the concubine is absolutely unacceptable, and I ask Childe to take it back."

As he spoke, he stuffed the money bag back to Xiao Han.

"This money is not worth mentioning to me, and besides, I don't give you this money, but because your two children are very close to me, and this money is also so that they can live well in the future, you must accept it."

Xiao Han waved his hand, then stuffed the money bag back again, and when he saw that the woman was about to excuse herself, her face was solemn, and her tone was a little stern.

Seeing Xiao Han like this, the woman could only accept Vino.

However, she immediately pulled the two children and knelt directly on the ground, "Xiao'e, Chong'er, kneel down quickly, thank you for this son!" ”

Seeing her move, Xiao Han hurriedly pulled the woman and Xiao'e up.

However, because Xiao Han didn't have a third hand to pull, the little boy still knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

"Boy Lin Chong, thank you, big brother."

Putting down the hands of the woman and Xiao'e, and was about to pull the little boy up from the ground, Xiao Han, who heard this, was a little stunned for a while.

Lin?

Did you hear it wrong?

"Madam, dare to ask, what is the name of your son?"

"The child's surname is Lin, and the big list is a punching word, which means soaring to the sky, and he is five years old this year."

Although it was a little strange, the woman still replied to Xiao Han.

It's really Lin Chong.

I don't know, this Lin Chong will be the one in my impression.

At this age, he will go to Tokyo again, Xiao Han looked at the tiger-headed kid, it was really possible that Lin Chong.
