Chapter 270: Don't Give Up

Where is his daughter-in-law?

After such a long time, although the people around me don't say it, in fact, they have already decided that Liu Meibao and Lu Fang are no longer alive.

The sentinels ran almost all over Huguang, and those salt merchants and pharmacists also searched all the pharmacies and medicine shops in the south, but there was no trace of Liu Meibao.

A pregnant woman with a child of four or five years old has a slim chance of surviving.

Li Changsan's area, the soldiers and bandits are fighting, the people are in turmoil, and the news delivered by those sentinels simply surprised everyone, they thought that they were already miserable to be harassed by the Tartars here, but they didn't expect it to be even worse outside.

Many villages are mostly empty, starving, skeletons, and all kinds of people have died, and cannibalism has become commonplace.

Several waves of sentinels have rescued weak women, women and children who were swallowed as rations, Wang Mo couldn't help but order these sentinels after learning about it, and even those salt merchants and pharmacists were also instructed to describe the good days of Hezhong Mansion, Pingyang Weitaiyuan Mansion and other places quietly and appropriately, so unknowingly, several important places under Zhonglu Yan attracted a wave of disaster victims.

The master was the first to notice, and ran to quarrel with Wang Mo overnight, and finally fought without any reading popularity, Lu Yan heard the news and asked the reason for the anger, if the master hadn't stopped him in time, he was afraid that Wang Mo would have been hacked to death on the spot.

Rao is like this, and one of Wang Mo's arms was also broken.

His purpose is to find his wife and children, not to let Wang Mo still carry private goods at this time, no matter what the starting point is, this kind of entrainment of private goods can easily expose the target, as long as people with a heart will definitely be able to find out that he Lu Yan's people appear in the region, then it is natural to guess the fact that they are trying to conceal, then the incident of Mrs. Lu's abduction that has just been quelled will be set off again, so it is conceivable how many tigers and wolves Mrs. Lu's big piece of fresh meat will attract, which is something that Lu Yan never wants to see.

Wang Mo not only broke his arm, but was also fined and was locked up at home to think about it behind closed doors. Ning Baohua, who had fought with him, went to see him.

"You know that there are many rich lands in my Great Zhou, but now the common people are so poor, and they don't live as well as pigs and dogs, all because the local officials are not properly governed, they only care about collecting money and enjoying themselves, and only adults..." Only then can the people enjoy peace..."

Ning Baohua looked at him and sneered.

"Are you saying that the bigger the territory you expand, the more you can rise?" He said.

Wang Mo looked at him and smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, his eyes flashing.

"But I have to tell you, if you don't have a wife, you don't have anything." Ning Baohua stood up, looked at him and said seriously, "My lord has nothing, you." Me, everyone. Now everything is gone..."

Wang Mo looked stunned, his flickering eyes receded, and his face became solemn.

"But, do you think Mrs. She's okay," he said slowly, sighing.

Ning Baohua interrupted him.

"She can." He said with a firm face.

He had known that woman for so long, from the destitute sinners to the general's wife, no matter what status she was, she could keep herself alive.

Yes. Lu Yan firmly believes that his Mabel must still be alive, waiting for him to pick her up.

She promised. Will wait for him, will be.

"Where's Mabel, is Mabel here?" Master Liu's raised voice interrupted Lu Yan's distraction, and his hand was still holding Lu Yan tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"She just gave birth and is recuperating at home." Lu Yan said lightly, looked at Master Liu, and added, "This is our second child." ”

Master Liu was seen through by him, and his face blushed slightly, if it weren't for Lu Yan's rise from the dragon's skill, how would he remember that there was a girl named Mei Bao in their family, not to mention how many children they had.

"Boys and girls?" Master Liu coughed, and then explained and muttered, "It's so far away, we don't have anyone who doesn't matter, and we can't ask for a message, why don't you send a message..."

Babbling, Lu Yan frowned impatiently.

"....When will you go back, I'll pack up and go over with you to see her..."Master Liu continued.

Lu Yan shook him off violently.

"She is not in good health, the doctor said to recuperate, don't go, she is in a bad mood when she sees it." He said.

Mr. Liu was so angry that he almost fell.

There have been a lot of officials here, because of Lu Yan's identity, everyone has cast their eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and this Lu Yan's voice does not know what to pay attention to, as soon as this sentence came out, many people heard it, and their expressions suddenly became colorful.

"You, how do you talk!" Master Liu was angry and anxious, and stammered again, and was about to pull Lu Yan's sleeve.

"Stay away from me." Lu Yanhu shouted angrily.

Not to mention that Master Liu was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and the officials who passed by were all frightened.

Lu Yan took the horse brought by his own soldiers, turned over and rode away, and the personal soldiers followed behind him, and the crowd cheered away.

"Oh, my poor son." Master Liu suddenly stroked his palms and was very sad, "My son-in-law didn't let me visit, your father and mother died early, and you didn't have anyone to rely on, and I don't know if I was doing well, my son..."

He cried and cursed, hid his face, and hurried away, leaving a crowd of people talking in place.

Chen Qing stood behind the person and frowned slightly.

She, isn't she having a good time?

Liu Meibao has been doing well recently.

The officers and soldiers entered the city, the imperial court regained control of the town, the refugees came back one after another, the vitality of the people was extremely strong, and in a short time, the shops were opened, and the days began to return to normal.

"Chengtou changes the banner of the king, regardless of its southeast and northwest winds, as long as the wife and children are hot on the kang." Liu Meibao sat by the door, looking at the people walking by on the street, and sighed indiscriminately.

"Mother, I'm done." Lu Fang said.

Liu Meibao turned around and looked at Lu Fang and the iron spoon who were sitting on the small table and writing together.

Lu Fang raised his hand high, and the half piece of paper in front of him that he didn't know where it came from was full of words.

Liu Meibao walked over, picked it up seriously and looked at it, this is an unused half sheet torn from the account book, one side is written, and the other side has not had time to use, it was abandoned because the business could not be done, these days Zhao Laohan and his wife repaired the house so that they could see the light of day.

Although Liu Meibao is out of confinement, she can't do much work with her children. He was responsible for taking care of Lu Fang and the iron spoon, and taught them to write by the way.

"Can you read?" Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were very surprised, the people who could read and write in these years were not ordinary people, especially women's families.

But they didn't ask much, and happily instructed Tie Lao to follow his aunt to learn to read well, so that he could become a big official in the future, and eat and drink spicy food.

The iron spoon held the somewhat bald pen, and his face was wrinkled into bitter melon. Only one line was written crookedly on half a piece of paper.

"The iron spoon is also good at writing, take your time when you write, don't be in a hurry." Liu Meibao also looked at him, said with a smile, and pointed to one of the strokes written by the iron spoon, "This stroke is so beautiful..."

In fact, Liu Meibao has no attainments in calligraphy, but it is just nonsense, but for children, he is as happy as he has won gold and silver, and the iron spoon with a sad face immediately grinned to the root of his ears.

Lu Fang pursed his lips on the side.

There was a baby's cry next to him, but Liu Meibao hadn't moved. Lu Fang swooped to the side of the basket.

"Mother, my sister is awake." He shouted.

Liu Meibao smiled and walked over. Looking at the daughter in the basket who was shaking her head and hands trying to open her eyes.

In more than two months, her thin and small daughter has grown a lot, although it is still not as good as babies of the same age, but Liu Meibao is very satisfied.

When the baby woke up, shook his head, hands and feet for a while, and began to look for milk to eat, rubbing back and forth to take the wrapped quilt in his mouth.

"Rourou, this can't be eaten." Lu Fang hurriedly reached out and carefully pulled down the corner of the quilt.

The child's nickname. Liu Meibao called her rourou.

Lu Fang disliked that this was not good.

"Little girls are all called flowers, red or something." He said solemnly with the appearance of a little adult.

Liu Meibao hugged him and smiled.

"Your name is Dan'er, take the homonym Dandan, and your sister's name is Rourou. Take homophonic meat, this is the favorite of mother and father. She whispered, in order to prevent inadvertent leakage, when their mother and son were alone, they rarely mentioned their real names, "This is our secret, only the two of us know, when my sister is older, we will tell her about it." ”

Lu Fang happily agreed.

"When Daddy finds him, let's tell him too." He added.

These words made Liu Meibao's heart sour and astringent, and she nodded heavily.

After all this time, is he still looking for them? Do you think you're dead? It must be sad, right?

After breastfeeding her daughter, Liu Meibao paid a moment to wrap up the child and prepare to go out.

"Going to the government again?" Zhao Laohan stopped what he was doing and asked.

"I didn't find anyone last time, so I want to try again." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

"If you want to find someone with a letter, let's find another way, then where does the government care about the affairs of our little people." Zhao Laohan shook his head and said, "You can be careful, don't be beaten." ”

Still not at ease as he spoke, he wiped his big hand twice on his body.

"Let your mother go with you." He shouted to Mrs. Zhao into the house, "I'm cooking at home." ”

Zhao Niangzi came out of the house in response, Liu Meibao repeatedly refused, but Zhao Niangzi still insisted on following.

"Rou'er is still young, you run around with her, those uncles in the government are all fierce, scolding and beating at the lightest, pushing and shoving, what should I do if I hurt you?" She said.

Hearing that they were going out, Lu Fang, who was playing with the iron spoon in front of the door, insisted on going too.

"Go ahead, let's go, it's really boring to play with girls." Iron Spoon stood up happily, "Go play horseback and fight." ”

He ran away shouting, and the angry Zhao Niangzi stomped her feet behind and scolded, so the two adults and the two children went to the official mansion together.

The government is in ruins for the rest of its life after the catastrophe, because it has just been recaptured from the hands of the thieves, and there are soldiers guarding the front of the official mansion, and there is no good face for the people here.

"These people are the most hateful, if they have milk, they are mothers, whoever gives food will give their lives, and the reason why the cities in many places have been breached by Li thieves is that almost half of them are the internal responses..."

Three or five officers and soldiers gathered together and said, looking at the people passing by with shrunken heads and shrunken heads, with a look of resentment.

"Official, I don't know if I can bring a letter to Taiyuan Mansion..." A woman's voice came, interrupting the conversation of the officers and soldiers.

They looked over and saw a young woman holding a child, and beside her an old woman was holding a girl of four or five years old, bowing with earnest and careful flattery.

"Go, go, it's you again." A soldier waved his hand in disgust, "I told you earlier, no, no, get out of the way." ”

His big hand almost waved in Liu Meibao's face, and Zhao Niangzi hurriedly retreated.

"Uncle, Master Zhang Shun Zhang, the commander of the Battalion A of the Left Staff General of Taiyuan Mansion, is my relative, I don't know if I can bring a letter..."

Hearing her mention the general reinforcement battalion, several soldiers looked at her with some surprise.

"Don't look at it, who believes this kind of thing, the general barracks is related to you, and you still use us to carry the letter? Eight in the morning to pick you up. The soldier who spoke sneered, glared at him, and drew his sword, "Your woman has come to harass her twice in three days, could it be that she is an anti-thief and spy to spy on her?" ”

Zhao Niangzi, who was frightened by these words, hurriedly pulled Liu Meibao and left.

Liu Meibao turned around helplessly, listening to the soldier laughing behind her.

“… Carrying a letter, she actually wanted the government to give her a letter, looking at what we are doing with the official document here and not asking for money, this crazy woman thinks well..."

"I came several times, and she said crazy things, and I asked her if she had any money? She said no, and even said that if the letter was delivered, there would be a reward, and she asked me to ask for a reward from the reinforcement Qianzong, did she think I was as crazy as her? ”

"If it's really a relative, maybe I really pay you a lot..."

"Pull it down, it's that poor and sour, still relatives, where is Shanxi, where is Taiyuan Mansion, where is the general's reinforcement camp, haven't you heard of it, don't say those who are generals, that is, those soldiers, and their families are also very happy, and relatives, if they are relatives, can they run to us? I want to be crazy to enjoy happiness, besides, it's so far away, and there's nothing to do, just for the sake of a certain amount of remuneration afterwards, I went to Taiyuan specifically for her, then I'm crazy..."

"Hey, but it seems that someone is really going to Taiyuan, saying that the child of Deputy General Lu is going to celebrate a hundred days, and the adults above are rushing to send congratulatory gifts..."

Liu Meibao, who had turned around and was reluctant to leave, suddenly stopped and turned her head, looking at the soldiers in dismay.

Deputy Chief Lu?

Liu Meibao thought seriously, as far as she could remember, there was no deputy general soldier surnamed Lu in Shanxi, that is, Lu Yan was promoted again?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but break away from Zhao Niangzi's hand and walk back.
