Chapter 106: Mu Xiaomei embarks on a journey to find her father
Although the wooden rite in Chu Huaijin's eyes is a bit motherly, the innate arrogance cannot be ignored.
Mu Li knelt on him today to surprise him.
"Ah Li, get up" Chu Huaijin leaned over and raised his arm to personally help Mu Li, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up.
Kapok was not embarrassed when he saw this, and raised his hand on Chu Huaijin's palm, letting him help him.
The third master's palm was as warm as the hot heart in her chest.
Chu Huaijin was also a little uncomfortable, he pulled Mu Li up from the ground, and quickly withdrew his hand.
Damn it! Mu Li is a sissy, her hands are so soft, she doesn't have bones.
Fortunately, he quickly recovered from his strange appearance.
"My subordinates found out that your father was serving as a conscription in Donglin County, paving the way for the imperial court to build bridges.
I'm fine recently, so I'll go with you, and without further ado, we'll be ready to go on the road in a while," Chu Huaijin said coldly.
Kapok naturally wanted to set off as soon as possible, and go to Donglin as soon as possible, so that his father could find it earlier and suffer less fatigue.
"Then there is Lao Sanye to take care of him on the road. Before I go to Donglin, I have to go back to my home and leave with my family, so that my family will not worry about "Kapok back."
Chu Huaijin waved his hand and allowed Mu Li to go home.
Kapok was in a hurry and didn't delay and hurried home.
When Kapok came home, she told her mother about Shangdonglin's search for her father.
"Fuya, your daughter's family is on the road alone, I, a mother, really don't worry, if you don't ask your second brother to accompany you, there will be a good response on the way" Liu Po heard that the old man finally had his whereabouts, and her heart was still excited.
"Mother is fine, I didn't actually go on the road alone, I went on the road with the person who helped us find my father's whereabouts.
He brought a guard on the way, mother, you put your heart in your stomach, it will be very safe to have that one here.
My mother is at home and waiting for me to bring my father back safely," Kapok comforted her mother.
"Donglin County is far away from us, and it will take more than ten days to come and go by carriage.
You haven't left home since you grew so old, how can your mother not worry about it" Liu Po held her daughter's hand, patted the back of her daughter's hand, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.
If it weren't for her inconvenience on the road at her age, she really wanted to go with her daughter and take care of her.
I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will become a stumbling block.
When the Mu family heard that Kapok was going to go far away, they all came up and told me one by one.
The two concubines are also worried, especially Sister-in-law Mu, who knows that her little sister is pregnant.
The whole person also sighed, "There are so many men in my little sister's family, why do you have to go, your body is delicate, and it is really not suitable for tiring travel."
If you don't call your eldest brother to go, your eldest brother is almost as good as he is these two days. Walking is not a problem either."
"Sister-in-law, no. That one is very difficult to serve, and no one can go but my family. I'm also trying to detoxify him, and he won't embarrass me," Kapok explained.
Chu Huaijin's temper is uncertain, and the temporary substitution will outweigh the losses if he angers him.
"Little sister, you have to pay more attention to your body bones on the road, the exclusive secret recipe for pickled cucumbers pickled by your mother, you can't buy them outside, it's very good, and your sister-in-law will go and pack a porcelain jar for you to take on the road to eat." There are still more than a dozen jujube cakes left at home, and my sister-in-law will put them on for you, and you have to put a jar of jujube paste. "Sister-in-law Mu summed it up.
Kapok was just about to stop it, but Sister-in-law Mu had already gone to prepare, and she couldn't pull it.
After the second sister-in-law Mu watched her busy with her husbandry, she was not to be outdone, and ran to the vegetable garden to pick fruit persimmons.
The sister-in-law loves to eat home-grown persimmons the most, and there is no one for sale in the entire Great Chu Kingdom.
The two concubines also knew that the sister-in-law was in a hurry to leave, so they finished the work in hand as quickly as possible and prepared a lot of things.
Kapok looked at the big bags and small bags of things prepared by the two sisters-in-law, and knew that the sisters-in-law were all kind.
She still can't stop having some headaches, she's going to find her father, not to live!
I came back after ten days, and I didn't need to bring so many things.
Kapok explained to the two sisters-in-law that it was best to take a step back, and the things were reduced by half.
Kapok brought a small part, and it also contained three large packages.
Mu Er, a simple brother, can't say nice words, he knows how to work, helps the little sister put the three packages on the ox cart, and plans to send the little sister to the big family for a while.
Mu Er, a tanned farmer, secretly wiped his tears behind his family's back at this time.
Since the birth of the little sister, the little sister has lived under his nose, even if he got married, he has not separated from his family, and he has never been separated from his little sister.
Mu Er felt uncomfortable when he thought that his little sister was not at home for more than ten days.
Boss Mu and Mu San are not much better? All of them were crying and sad, reluctant to let their little sister leave home.
The Mu family fell into a gloomy atmosphere for a while because of Kapok's first long trip.
"Mother, I'm not here, you have to take care of your body, don't get sick, wait for me to bring back my father to you with all the beards and tails, my mother will not delay much, it is better to go early and return early" Kapok did not forget to ask his mother a few words again before leaving.
In this family, she can't rest assured that her mother is the most.
"Alas" Liu Po's eyes were red, and if she spoke more, she was afraid that tears would fall if she couldn't help it.
Po Liu can't cry in front of her daughter, her daughter will feel uncomfortable.
Kapok flexibly got into the ox cart and sat on it, and the whole family sent her out.
Mu Er was driving the ox cart in front, the speed was very slow, and he was reluctant to let the little sister go.
The ox cart had traveled some distance, and Kapok looked back at the door, where her family was still standing watching her.
Especially when her mother stood at the front, she turned around and waved at her.
Kapok's heart suddenly broke the defense, in the days when she was away, her mother was afraid that she would not be able to eat well and sleep.
She's going to be back soon!
Mrs. Liu's eyes were not far away, and she looked at the ox cart getting farther and farther away from her.
The mother of the child was worried, and her tears came out of her eyes with the blurred vision of her daughter.
………
Kapok and Chu Huaijin shared a carriage and embarked on the journey to Donglin County.
The carriage had just left the county, and in order to save time, the two of them drove the carriage down the road.
The trail is remote and overgrown, and it is also at this time that the horse thieves are following it.
"Lao Tzu is lucky today, looking at the spacious carriage, it must be a rich person from a large family.
If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road. Lao Tzu may be in a good mood, spare you from dying," the leader of the horse thieves shouted angrily with a machete more than a meter long.
Gao Shan and Liushui were unflustered, looking at the dozen horse thieves with disdain.
"I'm afraid that you have money to spend your life" Flowing Water had a calm face, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"You two turtle sons dare to curse Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is going to kill today, and the brothers will give Lao Tzu a mouth, leaving no one alive." The horse thief at the head gave the order to die.
Kapok sat in the carriage and listened to the sound of fighting outside, his little heart pounding.
