Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mansion
Dinner here, also known as feeding, is not after dark, but between 4 and 6 p.m. Today's meal at the second uncle's house was later than usual, but it was not dark when Lan Yi came out with the child after eating, it was the sunset, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and it was the most beautiful time of the day.
This Beigou Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the access road is flat, and it is close to the county seat, which is a suitable place to live. The mountains around the village are not tall, but undulating slopes, and the slopes are overgrown with wild grass and shrubs, like undulating green carpets, dotted with goats and ploughing cattle.
Lan Yi thought about the goats at home, went home and found the knife to mow the grass, and planned to mow the goats. This knife has been rusted and covered with dust, and it should have not been used for a long time, so Liu didn't like it and didn't take it. Lan Yi smiled, took the knife on her back and carried the basket, and took the two children out to beat the grass.
Unlike the deserted village at noon, at this time, groups of villagers gather to chat along the village road, and children chase and play with each other.
Lan Yi walked on the dirt road in the village with her children, and was greeted by everyone, but no one came up to take the initiative to say hello. Most people in the village already knew that Wang Linshan had passed away, and it was also this topic that they gathered to chat, but it was not easy to inquire when they saw the main master.
A few children at the edge of the village were playing with jumping goats, and Lan Yi saw that Lin Xi's Dafu was also inside. When Dafu saw Lan Yi and the others, he ran over and shouted, "Uncle." ”
"Well, Uncle Niang plans to mow the grass and feed the sheep, Dafu is so fun, don't go back too late." Lan Yi touched his head, this kid was very well-behaved.
Lan Yi's house is in the northeast of the village, and there is a large area of grass on the side of the road behind the house, and the sky is gradually getting dark.
At this time, her mood was not as calm as it seemed. Although Zhao Chengtu and Zhao Chengqing have left Huang County, they may also have left someone here to monitor the situation of Second Uncle Wang's family. If this is the case, it will be a blessing and a curse for the three of them to return to Beigou Village now, Zhao Chengtu and the others are fine if they are the people of the king's housekeeper, but if they are from the enemy's side...... Lan Yi still has to be careful.
Although she felt that it was more likely that these two people were on the side of the king's housekeeper, of course, she would have preferred so. She is not afraid of missing her own rescue, in this situation where the enemy is clear and I am dark, if she is found by the enemy, it will be too passive. Lan Yi considered all kinds of possibilities, even including making a fake household registration and moving away with the children, but the risk was not small, if the enemy family could find here, even if he entrusted Xia Wan's relationship to make a fake household registration, it would be impossible not to be detected. Besides, Xia Wan was kind-hearted, she didn't want to involve her in her grievances.
"This place is already a small mountain village thousands of miles away, if you can't get the household registration from Steward Wang, it is unlikely that you can find it. If Zhao Chengtu is an enemy of the family, their attitude should be more aggressive, and the waiting time will be longer. Come to think of it, it's unlikely that the enemy will find it! Lan Yi's eyes were sharp, revealing a calmness and wisdom that did not match her appearance, and she lifted her baby's little buttocks, "If you are stable within half a month, you should be able to get through this difficulty." For the sake of today, I have to live first. ”
Lan Yi went home and fetched water from the well and brought it into the kitchen, intending to boil water and freshen up. In the light of the stove, Lan Yi looked at the kitchen. The kitchen of about 20 square meters is left with only a three-story wooden shelf, two rice bowls, a low table and a few low stools, which looks a little empty.
Lan Yi quickly boiled water and brought it into the house, and saw that Yu'er was playing with his little slingshot to play with the baby, and Yu'er's little puppet was placed next to him, and the baby stretched out two little fat hands, and got along with Yu'er very happily.
Seeing Lan Yi come in, Yu'er's smiling face became cautious.
"Yu'er, come here, my mother will wash you." Lan Yi put the small wooden basin under the kang, although there was an oil lamp at home, but the lamp oil was gone, Lan Yi took advantage of the light to wash Yu'er's face and feet, let him stay on the kang, and went to bring water to scrub the baby. She also wiped it herself, boiled goat's milk and brought it into the house.
"Yu'er, this is goat's milk. It's from our goats, can you taste it? Lan Yi put the goat milk Yu'er in front of him and let him take a sip.
"Brother drink."
Lan Yi wiped his mouth, "Brother has, that bowl belongs to my brother." Yu'er is older, drink more, and his younger brother is small, so he can't drink so much. ”
Yu'er nodded, lying on the edge of the kang table and drinking goat's milk. Lan Yi picked up the baby and fed him half a bowl, and the rest went into Lan Yi's belly.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Lan Yi sat beside them, feeling warm in her heart.
She only graduated from college a month ago, but now she has two sons, if you feel that she has a lot of discomfort and anxiety in her heart, but she has no resistance. In this strange world, having two such children by her side is not a kind of belonging for her, at least she is no longer alone in this world.
Yu'er tossed and turned and couldn't sleep steadily, so Lan Yi picked him up and patted him gently. The child was too thin and weighed, and Lan Yi even felt that her little nephew was heavier than him when he was three years old.
Yu'er has been sleeping on a kang with her grandparents since she was a child, and if she tosses at night, her grandmother will not hug him, but only slap him to make him quiet. It's a fresh feeling to be held in someone's arms like this, Yu'er likes it, feels very comfortable, and slowly falls asleep.
At the same time, a mansion in Meixian County is lit up, and it is obvious that there are still many people who have not rested.
"Master, the people we let out have all returned, but no one has been found." The voice came from a room, and the tone was full of caution, as if it was afraid of angering the man sitting opposite.
"Rubbish!" The face of the man sitting upright was as heavy as water, and his eyes showed murderous intent.
The man who was bent over and standing opposite trembled and didn't dare to raise his head: "Master, the small ones let people guard the two roads out of the county, and they didn't go out of the county." ”
"Two women with a child can make you lose it! What's the use of raising you! ”
"Yes! The villain deserves death. ”
The lights in the room went on, the man sitting upright lowered his head in contemplation, and the subordinate who was standing bent over bent did not dare to move.
"That's it, the three of them can't do anything, so they stay a few more days. You sue Wang Tiangui and ask him to go to the county government to sue Wang Chengde, and first cut off the arm of the big house. Our people withdrew, and sent two brains to keep an eye on the movements of the big house, and the rest took over the family's business first. ”
"Yes, sue Wang Chengde, don't know about this crime?"
"You bunch of shit! This is something that you have to ask the master if you can't do it! The man slammed the lid of the teacup in his hand shut, making a crisp sound, and the man opposite trembled and didn't dare to talk.
"Yes, the villain will go to Wang Tiangui." With that, exit the house.
The man sitting upright was silent for a long time, then got up and walked to the back house.
In a luxurious and comfortable bedroom in the back house, the old lady wearing a jade forehead reclined on the couch, and a woman kneeling in front of her with her hair to check her pulse.
"Old lady, your body is fine, but you are depressed in your chest, and you are full of comfort for a long time." The words of the person who took the pulse were very clear, and the old lady sighed when she heard it.
"There you go."
"Yes, the slave will go and make medicine for you."
"Yu Yao, after you prescribe the prescription, you go directly to the Shunde family to get the medicine, and then you boil it yourself." A servant woman in her forties standing next to the old lady admonished.
"Mother Zhou, don't worry, the slave knows." Yu Yao stepped back.
"It's useless if you don't eat it. No news yet? The old lady closed her eyes and gently stroked her forehead and asked.
Mrs. Zhou gently massaged the old lady's temples, and said with sorrow: "Not yet." ”
"Ahem, ahem, evil!"
