Chapter 42: A Carload of Women and Children
Wei Xiaoge looked at Qianhong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although I couldn't really see it in the middle of the night, I could see that she had washed off the rouge and gouache on her face, and her goose egg face and big eyes were a little bit of posture, but she looked a little haggard.
The long skirt is a little cumbersome to cover the top of the feet, and she wears a pair of embroidered shoes with soft soles, and the waist is very thin. Hands clasped together, seemingly nervous. The fingers are not delicate, but they definitely don't look like they have done rough work.
He is not a martial artist.
The evil monk is so arrogant and domineering, why does such a weak and slender woman dare to take the lead and save those children?
Could it be that she has some magical backhand?
She asked with some curiosity, "What did you plan, at that time, I was just trying to save my brother, and there was no perfect solution." ”
Qianhong curtsy again, pleading with a pleading face.
"Miss Wei....... The remaining two female dolls. Although their families were inquired about, the children's families did not dare to ask for them. He said that he was afraid of angering the monks and leaving them to fend for themselves. I really pity them and want to stay and raise them as my own children. I just ask the girl for shelter or two. ”
The more she spoke, the quieter she became, and she was very worried in her heart, for fear that the little girl in front of her would not agree. This little girl is not very old, but her methods are first-class ferocity.
However, since he offended the monk, he had to take refuge in Miss Wei.
After hearing this, Wei Xiaoge was extremely disappointed.
I thought that Qianhong came out to solve the eight children, and there must be something to rely on, but there was no follow-up, and they were all counting on themselves!
She couldn't help but hesitate.
The child was fished out of the evil monk's cave, and Qianhong has already taken care of six children and helped a lot.
But when I think of taking a group of women and children, in case of an accident, it is really difficult to take care of it.
turned his face and didn't recognize people, and sent Qianhong to some gold and silver?
It's even more impossible, if you really do this kind of shameless thing, you don't have to be a person in the future, it's really immoral. Qianhong has no ability to fight against the monks at all, and staying in Yi County is not looking for death.
It seems that I can only bring it first, and then find a place to place her and the two toddlers later.
After thinking about it, she pondered for a long time and then decided.
"Take them, since you're going to keep these two children, you'll be the ones to raise for the rest of you. Avoid the limelight in front of you, and I'll give you some money in the future, and find a suitable place to settle down. ”
"Thank you, Miss Wei, for your protection!" Qianhong bowed her knees in thanks.
"You're welcome, you risked your life to help me, as it should be. Wei Xiaoge said with a smile. Although he had a smile on his face, his heart was even heavier.
Xue Shaoxi nodded secretly, thinking that Miss Wei had even beaten the official errand, and with such a big ability, she would definitely be able to protect everyone.
Changgui frowned slightly, why did so many people come, and there were two milk dolls. What if I wait for a powerful master, and my sister can't take care of herself and Changfu?
It is convenient to have a carriage, Wei Xiaoge threw some unimportant sundries onto the carriage to reduce Bai Ze's burden.
In case something can't resist, he can only take care of Changgui and Changfu, and throw the two of them on the back of a donkey to flee for their lives. Although there are some unspeakable selfishness, but there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, and the lawsuit reached the Hades Palace, and she did not say that she was not.
In the middle of the night, except for some beggars sleeping on the streets, there was no one else. The sound of donkey hooves and horses' hooves is extraordinarily loud, and it seems to be beating on people's hearts.
I had an appointment with Zhong Da on the west gate, which was shorter than the other gatehouses, and when I arrived at the city gate, which looked a little dilapidated, I saw that he was already waiting.
The two looked at each other and didn't talk.
Wei Xiaoge followed him to the dark place of the gatehouse, and Zhong Dayou untied the package from behind his back and handed it over, looking very humble and friendly.
The predecessors had a saying that the willows were sent away. However, Zhong Dayou is not a close friend with her, and of course what he sent was not an elegant willow branch, but a cheesy "etiquette".
Wei Xiaoge, who said that he was a vulgar person, was very satisfied.
When she received it, she weighed it twice, I'm afraid it was three or four pounds. If it wasn't a stone, it would have been silver. Such a pack should be about two hundred.
A small place like Yi County is definitely a lot of money.
Ordinary people live, and the family can't spend five taels a year. Wei Xiaoge remembered that he had just moved to Yi County, and he used a penny of silver to buy rice, which was enough to buy fifty catties of rice!
If there's some gold in it, you'll make a fortune.
With a smile, he took the silver generously, turned his head and walked to the carriage, and handed the package to Xue Shaoxi, who was driving the horse. Wei Xiaoge didn't check it on the spot, so as not to fall into the momentum of his master.
Xue Shaoxi took the package, and when he heard the sound, he knew that it was silver, and he felt some weight on the bottom of his hand, and his face was slightly surprised. Immediately he remained silent, lifted the lower corner of the curtain of the carriage, and put the silver in.
Naturally, there are thousands of red inside, and the silver is collected.
Hearing the sound of the silver in the baggage, Changgui was stunned for a moment. Why didn't my sister give it to him, but gave it to the boy who didn't know where it came from, it's too much!
Wei Xiaoge saw that Xue Shaoxi was so eye-catching, so he didn't make a fuss, and secretly bowed his head. The newly recruited followers are not so shallow, and they are worth cultivating.
Using silver as currency is really a troublesome thing, and it is very heavy to carry on your body.
She suddenly got "one inch of acacia", a small yellow flower two circles larger than a copper coin, and she could stuff it into I don't know how many gold and silver treasures.
When can you have your own inch of lovesickness?
Thinking about it, she felt funny, she didn't even have Mu Chengfeng.
The carriage left the city and trot all the way in the direction of Daohua Village. Wei Xiaoge couldn't help but sigh, not long after leaving, he had to run back again. For now, I can only go to the mountains to hide for the time being.
When the wind passes, you can leave the area under the jurisdiction of Peiyang County and settle down in a place where there is no temple nearby.
Sitting on the driving seat, Xue Shaoxi next to him was very calm and drove the car, and Wei Xiaoge leaned against the carriage behind him and was half asleep.
The child was really troublesome, and cried a few times in the middle of the night, but fortunately he was coaxed by Qianhong. The carriage was well stocked with water and food, and after eating about two soft cakes, he fell back to sleep.
Where did Wei Xiaoge dare to really sleep, just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The lives of a large group of people are weighed on their bodies, and their hearts are like a thousand pounds of burden.
She had been so worried that she didn't see anyone coming until dawn, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, to maintain your strength, you need to sleep peacefully for at least a few hours so that your hands and feet are neat. Seeing that there was a stream not far along the loess road, and the grass nearby was growing luxuriantly, Wei Xiaoge sat up, turned around and patted Xue Shaoxi's shoulder.
"Xiao Xue, let the horse rest, drink saliva and eat some forage. I'll go to the car to rest for a while, let Qianhong go outside to be on guard, and you can rest too. ”
Xue Shaoxi nodded, thinking that he hadn't slept all night, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he thought that Miss Wei was an iron fighter.
Because he still had the reins in his hand, he just bent down slightly, and said very respectfully: "I respect the girl's orders." ”
Wei Xiaoge secretly wondered, and couldn't help but look at him more. Xiao Xue behaves appropriately and is literate, so eager to learn skills, it may not be known what blood feud and family hatred there is.
She didn't have time to ask about these things for the time being, and the timing was not right.
There was not much space in the carriage, and Qian Hong saw Wei Xiaoge open the curtain and get in, and immediately sat up to make way for a seat.
"Miss Wei, this side is spacious, I'll go sit inside. ”
Wei Xiaoge said with a smile: "I have to ask Miss Qianhong to help me look outside, I can sleep for an hour." By the way, where did you receive that bag of silver?"
She suddenly remembered the ritual that Zhong Dayou had sent, and couldn't help but want to take a look, of course, hoping that in addition to silver, there would be gold ingots.
Qianhong said softly: "Back to the girl, Wei Xiaogongzi has put it away properly." ”
Changgui's guy has now earned the name of "Wei Xiaogongzi", Wei Xiaoge secretly said that Gongzi is really worthless.
Changgui was sleeping in the carriage at the moment, and when he heard the sound of conversation, he woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and said, "Sister, the money has been collected." ”
But he didn't mention how much there was, and whether there was gold in it.
Wei Xiaoge glanced at him, and estimated that this kid would definitely secretly keep some of it, but it was not good to say anything about him in front of outsiders.
She nodded helplessly, spread out her hands and feet, and fell asleep with her head covered.
