The painting on it is Uncle Zheng!

Li Wenqing took two steps back, and rubbed her eyes vigorously, trying to see more clearly. Raise your head again, look at the person in the portrait, the eyes, the nose, it's not him, who else can it be?

Li Wenqing looked at the crowd of people who were whispering to the left and right pointing to the official document, and when she saw the lady of Mr. Su's family in the school, she hurriedly walked over and grabbed her.

The lady of the Su family was still looking at the official document intently, and she didn't watch out for her arm being pulled by someone, so she was startled, and when she saw that it was Li Wenqing, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wenqing, what are you doing in a hurry? Today, I went to the embroidery workshop to send embroidery work? Don't you like to watch the excitement on weekdays? She frowned and said dissatisfied.

"Sister-in-law Su, what is written on this official document?" Li Wenqing asked pretending to be calm.

"It says, the person on this portrait is named Zheng Xiaoyang, and he is a military general. He committed a crime and was sentenced to beheading by the emperor, but was kidnapped by his henchmen on the day of the execution. If anyone knows his whereabouts, inform the government, and the reward will be 100 taels of gold! The lady of the Su family pointed to the official document and said babblingly.

Li Wenqing's heart was beating wildly, she turned around abruptly and walked out of the crowd, not hearing the Su family's lady calling her behind her.

He's a fugitive! He's a fugitive! What crime did he commit that would be sentenced by the emperor to be beheaded?

How could he be a fugitive? His heart is so kind, how could he be a fugitive! There must be some misunderstanding here, there must be a misunderstanding somewhere!

No, I'll have to go back and ask him! I'll have to ask.

Thinking of this, Li Wenqing didn't care about going to the embroidery workshop to hand over the embroidery work, so she hurriedly followed the original road back to the village with her baggage.

Back in the village, it was already noon.

Li Wenqing panted and held on to the door of her own courtyard, knocked on her back to rest, and heard Li Chu'er's laughter and Xiaohuangxiaobai's clucking chicken cry from the yard.

She panicked all the way, and settled down for no reason. Standing up straight, she gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, combed the broken hair on her sideburns, and pushed the door into the courtyard.

"You're back!" Uncle Zheng was busy in the corner of the yard with a hoe in his hand, and when he heard the sound of pushing the door, he turned around and looked at her with a smile.

"Tired! Sit down and rest, Chu'er, pour a bowl of water for your mother. Uncle Zheng put down the hoe and beckoned to Li Chu'er, who was teasing Xiao Huang Xiaobai with grass leaves.

Li Chu'er pursed her lips, jumped into the house, and after a while, she came out with a teapot and two tea bowls, put them on the stone table, and Nunu mouthed, "Mother, drink quickly!" Uncle Zheng has already dried it, and there are some candied fruits in it! I drank it, but it was sweet! ”

Li Wenqing stared at Uncle Zheng without blinking, as if she wanted to see some clues from his face, Uncle Zheng was embarrassed by her, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and asked with a smile: "But there is ash on my face?" Oh, I want to build a trellis and plant some this year, and we will have a harvest next year! When the time comes, you and Chu'er will have grapes to eat. ”

Li Wenqing was sad in her heart, she just shook her head and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

"I just steamed some brown rice, and I don't know how to cook it. I've cut it all and I'm waiting for you to come back and fry it! Go and see, can I do it? I've also built the stove fire, and I'll blow it! You go wash first, look at the sweat on your head! ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, his fingers touched the hair next to Li Wenqing's cheek, his face was slightly stunned, and he immediately retracted his hand.

Li Chu'er looked at the two adults in front of her with a smile, stretched out her index finger and poked her face, "Dear love, is it ashamed?" Hahaha......"

After saying this, she ran away with a smile, and squatted next to the chicken coop to talk to Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai.

Li Wenqing sighed, grabbed the package on the stone table, and stood up, "You enter the house with me, I have something to ask you." ”

"Huh?" Uncle Zheng was confused for a while, and replied in a daze, seeing that she had already stepped into the threshold in three or two steps, so he followed.

"What's wrong with you today? How did you come back from town to be weird? Uncle Zheng stood outside the threshold and looked at Li Wenqing, who was sitting in front of the embroidery frame.

"It's been so long, and I haven't asked you what your last name is, where you're from, and why did you settle here?" Li Wenqing twisted a needle, recognized the line again, and pinched it in her hand.

"My surname is Zheng...... A single name is a series of words! I remember telling you? Uncle Zheng touched the back of his head and looked at Li Wenqing.

"Today I went to the town to deliver embroidery work, and I saw a notice posted at the door of the inspection department." Li Wenqing said as she looked at Uncle Zheng's face.

Uncle Zheng's face sank, but he pursed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word.

I didn't know a few words, so I asked the person next to me. They said that the picture on it was a fugitive named Zheng Xiaoyang, who was sentenced to be beheaded and executed, and on the day he was escorted to the execution ground, he was kidnapped by his henchmen, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and the government has issued a hundred taels of gold...... "Li Wenqing inserted a needle into the embroidered cloth and flew up and down.

"Huh...... Golden Hundred Taels ......" Hearing the last four words, Uncle Zheng laughed.

Li Wenqing stopped what she was doing and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Isn't it ridiculous?" Do you think I'm ridiculous, or are you ridiculous? ”

Uncle Zheng saw Li Wenqing's solemn face, frowned slightly, his heart tightened, and he quickly put away his smile, "No, no...... I don't think you're ridiculous. ”

"What you said to me, are you sincere? You said you wanted to ......" Li Wenqing's face was a little red, she paused, and finally said it, "You said that you want to marry me, you want me and Chu'er to live a peaceful life, you will protect us, and we will never be bullied by others in the future!" So these are all lying to me? ”

"No, no, no......" Uncle Zheng hurriedly shook his hand, "I swear, if I tell you a lie, I will be thundered!" Come to a sticky end! ”

"Don't!" Hearing him say the last few words, Li Wenqing's mind immediately appeared with the frightened expression on Mr. Su's wife's face when she said the three words "cut and decide".

The needle and thread in her hand didn't have time to put down, she rushed to him, stretched out her hand to cover his mouth, the embroidery frame was taken to the ground by her, the thin thread cut into her palm, oozing blood, "hiss......" Li Wenqing was in pain, and couldn't help inhaling.

Uncle Zheng pressed his entire palm on her palm, and looked at Li Chu'er who ran over when he heard the sound, "Chu'er, go to my cabinet and bring the bottle of Jinchuang Medicine, your mother's hand is cut!" ”

Li Chu'er turned around and ran next door when she heard this, but Li Wenqing had tears in her eyes, "Why do you have to say such things!" You know I can't hear that! ”

"I am indeed Zheng Xiaoyang! He was indeed wanted by the imperial court. As for what I have committed, I can't tell you for a moment. But you have to believe that I am innocent! Everything I say to you, it's all from the bottom of my heart! As long as you are willing, I will protect you and Chu'er for the rest of your life! Never let go! ”

"But you're a fugitive! How can I let Chu'er follow you to hide in Tibet all day long and never see the light of day? Li Wenqing's tears were gurgling down, crying like a tearful person.

"I have ordered my subordinates to bring my handwritten letter, face to face the prince, my grievances will be revealed in a few days, I will never let your mother and daughter suffer with me!" Uncle Zheng swore and said.

Li Wenqing was stunned for a moment, only to feel that her heart was twisted, she wanted to slap him in the face, she hated him for not telling the truth to herself earlier, but now the truth is known to herself in this way.

But she couldn't bear it, thinking about his care for his mother and daughter these days, and thinking about the joy and stability that she felt in the future as long as she saw his smiling face.

She finally turned her head and gently withdrew her hand from his, "You can go...... Don't say that anymore......"

"Wenqing!" He froze and looked at her at a loss.

"Uncle Zheng, medicine! Medicine! Li Chu'er ran into the house, holding a porcelain bottle in her hand, "Give it, quickly give my mother medicine!" ”

Suddenly feeling that the atmosphere in the room was wrong, he looked at Li Wenqing and then at Uncle Zheng, and asked a little scared: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Uncle Zheng stood there in a daze, watching Li Wenqing turn around and let the wound on his hand drip with blood, but he bent over to help up the embroidery frame and sorted out the needles and threads.

"Hey......" He sighed heavily, stomped his foot, turned around and walked to the door, but stood still again, and said in a muffled voice: "I have come over to set up the grape trellis in the past two days, and I have asked the old Wang family at the head of the village for a few grape branches, just plant them." ”

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, his Adam's apple moved a few times, and then said in a trembling voice: "Chu'er, you can take medicine for your mother, I'll go back first." ”

"Uncle Zheng! Uncle Zheng! Li Chu'er watched Uncle Zheng walk out of the courtyard and looked at Li Wenqing angrily, "You adults are too worry-free, why don't I look at you for a while, and you two will be angry?" Mother, if I didn't say you, can't you let Uncle Zheng go? ”

Li Chu'er said as she took Li Wenqing's hand, opened the medicine bottle, and sprinkled the medicine powder on her palm.

The cold and spicy medicinal powder was sprinkled on the wound, and Li Wenqing couldn't help but shrink her hand, but was tightly grasped by Li Chu'er.

At this moment, Li Chu'er was like a little adult, sprinkling medicinal powder on Li Wenqing's wound, while gently blowing on the wound, and whispering comforting: "Good ...... If you hold back, it won't hurt for a while. ”

Li Wenqing lowered her head indifferently, at the mercy of her daughter, feeling the pain coming from the wound covering wave after wave, densely infiltrating her body. Tears were dripping down her eyes, and they were already wet with her clothes.

"Mother, let's eat......" Li Chu'er finished giving her mother the medicine, and found a clean cloth to help her bandage it.

She walked to the stove, filled half a bowl of Uncle Zheng's steamed brown rice, picked out some pickles from the jar, and brought them to Li Wenqing, "Your hand is cut and you can't cook, let's eat some today." You eat first, I'll go see what Uncle Zheng eats......"

Li Wenqing sat silently at the table, staring at the half bowl of rice in front of her, and the whole person was like a clay wood carving.
