Chapter 43: With the help of Chief Lawn
"Runtian Yibao come here, my mother will tie up your hair for you, so that you don't have to sweat."
"Good mother."
The two babies giggled, ran over and threw themselves into Xu Jingluo's arms.
During this time, Xu Jingluo paid attention to the diet of his two children, and raised them white and fat every morning with milk and eggs.
Sister Yi Bao has big eyes, long eyelashes, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, and her natural peach lips are particularly beautiful and cute.
Brother Runtian's eyebrows and eyes are handsome and heroic, at first glance, he feels a sense of familiarity, who does this baby look like? Xu Jingluo held his chin and didn't come up with a reason.
At this time, Xu Jingling came over with a comb, and Xu Jingluo combed the hair of the two babies.
Brother Runtian's is the middle point, and he ties two hair bags on one side, and boys are not suitable for flowers.
Sister Yi Bao deliberately braided the fishbone braid, and then tied it into a bun, and put a small four-leaf clover hairpin bought in the mall on the hairpin, which was as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
After combing it, Xu Jingluo hugged the two small glutinous rice dumplings in his arms and kissed them on the forehead, really feeling this kind of motherly love that is so strong that it can't be dissolved.
Although she doesn't know how to be a mother and how to coax her children to educate her children, she will learn slowly.
The two children also held their mother's face and kissed it left and right, and played happily.
"Don't go to the river, stay safe." Xu Jingluo admonished with a loving face.
"Yes, mother."
Xu Jingling on the side hugged Xu Jingluo's arm, leaned his head against his sister's shoulder, and admired him.
"Sister, your hands are too skillful, the braids look so good."
"Want to learn? Sister will teach you one day. ”
Xu Jingling nodded hurriedly, "Mmmm, I want to learn." ”
Xu Jingluo touched his sister's little head and felt that it was a very happy thing to have brothers and sisters.
After sitting by the river for a while, it was dark, and I spread out the tarpaulin and rested on the spot, and there was nothing to say all night.
The next morning, the women still got up before dawn and made breakfast and lunch, and they had to be ready to keep up with the royal carriage, and they might not stop for rest all day.
"Yo? What kind of food is so fragrant? Xu Jingluo was baking scallion pancakes, and Weng Hongyao came over.
"Scallion pancakes, Brother Weng try them." Xu Jingluo sandwiched a scallion pancake and handed it to Weng Hongyao.
Weng Hongyao took it and took a bite, "Ah! This taste is really amazing, crispy and fragrant, and you can set up a stall to sell. ”
"Haha, that's a good idea, I'll open a small stall to sell this when I get to Ssangyong City."
"Don't say it, you can!" Weng Hongyao ate three in succession.
Xu Jingluo simply handed the entire basket to Weng Hongyao, and she had just baked more than twenty of them in the basket.
"You can take these to your brothers to try."
It doesn't hurt to make a living under other people's hands and win them over.
Weng Hongyao looked surprised, but felt a little embarrassed.
"This, Miss Xu has worked so hard, it's a bit unkind for me to take away a basket, right?"
"Brother Weng is polite, isn't he? Why don't you just bake two cakes, and if you like to eat it, it's no problem to bake it for you every day. Xu Jingluo said as he sprinkled a handful of flour on the board, half-squatting and kneading the dough neatly.
"Haha, then I'll take it." Weng Hongyao laughed heartily, thinking that this girl was ironing when she spoke and did things, and after walking a few steps, she turned around and said, "Just now I brought you a few bags of rice and a few bags of noodles, and at Master Feng's place, you will divide it by yourself." ”
"Okay, there's Big Brother Lauun."
At dawn, the team set off again, and everyone hurried to keep up with the team in front of them.
Although the sun is scorching, but wearing a hat, there is no shortage of food and drink and fans to fan the wind, which is really nothing to the hard-working countrymen.
In this way, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past month or so, Zhu Lingxiang came to Xu Jingluo's stubble from time to time at first, but later he stopped coming when he couldn't get a bargain.
In the early afternoon of this day, the speed of the procession suddenly slowed down, and the people in the village did not dare to walk too fast and get too close.
At this time, Weng Hongyao rode over and pointed to a checkpoint with a roadblock in front and a large number of Northern Liang soldiers guarding it.
"After the previous checkpoint, it is the boundary of the Northern Liang Kingdom, you have to pass through a long rainforest, the weather is cloudy, it may rain at any time, everyone has to be prepared."
"In addition, there may be leeches, so if you have boots, put them on, and if you don't, tie your trouser legs and cuffs tightly."
"There may also be predators. You are allowed to follow the carriage and not go far. ”
"Okay." Everyone hurriedly responded.
After Weng Hongyao left, people found rope and cloth belts and tied the trouser legs and cuffs carefully.
And Xu Jingluo bought a pair of rain boots for Runtian and Yi Bao in the carry-on space, during this time, she cut the white artemisia and sold it for some money, but it was not much, and she had to keep some spare, which was only enough for the children.
In addition, the rain has a hat and an oilcloth, and it is not afraid of wetting the clothes.
After making preparations, the group followed the convoy through the checkpoint and entered the boundary of Beiliang territory.
After entering the boundary of Beiliang, the weather changes rapidly, the sun is scorching at the last moment, the heavy rain is pouring down at the next moment, sometimes it is the sun and rain, there will be a rainbow in the sky at this time, and it is beautiful.
It's the end of summer, but it's still hot.
Weng Hongyao rode a horse and walked beside Xu Jingluo, separated by more than ten zhang from the team in front of him.
"I heard that the abolished emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty fell ill, maybe our Northern Liang emperor will take pity on him and allow them to go south by boat."
"Miss Xu, I'll help you fight for it at that time and see if you can follow them on the boat."
After eating this girl's various breakfasts for more than a month, if this little favor can be helped, he must help.
"If you can, that's fine." Xu Jingluo replied immediately.
There is nothing wrong with walking and exercising, but if you break away from the ranks of the royal family, no one knows what dangers you will encounter.
Not to mention anything else, the Northern Liang soldiers that can be seen everywhere are a potential threat, and if you encounter a few colored and courageous people, it will be troublesome.
The next day, Weng Hongyao came over to deliver the good news.
"It's settled, take a boat."
"After leaving the jungle, we turned around and headed west, and in a day or two we arrived at the pier, where we boarded the boat."
"After getting on the boat, I can reach Ssangyong City in less than a month, which is three or four months less than walking."
They still followed the speed of the carriage, and if they followed the slow team of the captain, they wouldn't be able to reach it in half a year.
"That's great, thank you so much." Feng Yongsheng rubbed his hands and looked at Weng Hongyao, his thin cheeks full of gratitude.
Xu Jingluo said with a bright smile, "I, Xu Jingluo, will repay my kindness, I have written down the care that Brother Weng has taken care of us along the way, and one day in the future, if I have that ability, I will definitely repay him." ”
