Chapter Eighty-Five: Is This a Reward?

Even if this matter has passed like this, Yexian has a cold temperament and has always disdained to explain things, but now he can make such an expression and such an act, which has already made everyone's jaws drop.

Since he has drunk the medicine now and has not noticed anything wrong, then they only need to wait quietly to see if the medicine is effective.

Originally, the group didn't pick up a lot of firewood today, and they had just cooked porridge and almost used up the firewood. I'm going to pick up some hay to feed the horses, and by the way, I'm also picking up some firewood for tonight.

It's just that they had just crossed the carriage, and before they had gone far, they saw two figures sneaking towards the other carriage, and they couldn't see clearly in the night.

"Who's there?"

Laifu immediately thought it was a thief and shouted at the two black shadows. The two black shadows seemed to be startled by this sound, dropped what they were holding, and bent over to the side to run.

The two of them didn't go to collect grass and firewood at the moment, and hurriedly ran to the carriage to take a look, but found that the person had already run away.

"! It must be some shameless thing that sneaks up on us while we're all in front of us! ”

Ah Shun spat on the ground, turned his head and saw a pile of dry firewood scattered on the ground by the moonlight.

Laifu stared at the pile of firewood for a while, and stared at Ah Shun with wide eyes.

"Ah Shun, Laifu, what's wrong? What's the yelling? When everyone heard the shouts of the two just now, their intuition was a little strange.

At that moment, everyone leaned towards the back of the carriage together, and saw two people squatting on the ground staring at a pile of firewood without speaking, and they couldn't help but be a little curious.

"What are you doing? Counting firewood and playing here? The back of the carriage was a little darker, and Lin Qingyun couldn't see the expressions of the two of them clearly, only vaguely saw a pile of firewood on the ground.

I remembered the shouting of the two just now, as if someone had come behind the carriage, and I was a little anxious to see the two of them like this at this time.

"Speak, what happened just now? Are there thieves? ”

Ah Shun raised his hand and gave himself a mouthful, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, he shouldn't have said those swear words just now, especially after guessing who gave these things, he felt more and more that his words were a little preconceived.

"Second master, this firewood was not picked up by us." Laifu looked a little embarrassed, and said to everyone: "We were just about to go out to pick it up, and in a blink of an eye, we saw two figures sneaking behind the carriage, and we thought it was a thief." ”

"When I looked closer, I found a pile of firewood on the ground."

Ah Shun nodded, pointed to the pile of firewood and said the guess in his heart: "When I found it with Laifu, those two shadows, one big and one small.

At first, I thought it was the mother and daughter who were stealing while we weren't looking, but now I look at the pile of firewood on the ground, and they must have brought it to us. ”

Several people stared at the pile of firewood and were silent for a moment. Along the way, they have encountered halfway robberies, encountered moral kidnapping, and even the original mother and daughter, although they had a good impression of them at the beginning, but in fact, they also thought that they were not good.

Giving sweet potatoes was purely Lin Wangshu's personal behavior when he saw their mother and daughter lonely, and as for the bowl of porridge in the back, it was a last resort to divert Yexian's attention.

Now, why do they give this pile of firewood?

Lin Wangshu pursed his lips and asked Yexian on the side, "What did they say when you gave the porridge?" ”

Nightstring thought about it for a while, and explained the scene where they were about to kneel on the spot again, and there was nothing to repay.

Everyone stared at the pile of firewood, only to feel that their throats were very sluggish, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say. With the temperament of this mother and daughter, she must have been bullied a lot along the way, after all, she is only a person who has received some small favors and wants to cut out her whole heart, in this world, there is absolutely only the fate of being buried.

And women are a vulnerable group in this world, in this dynasty, not to mention these two people, one is a child who looks no more than seven or eight years old, and the other is a woman who has been weathered. But even so, they still know that Entu is a good character and so on.

Lin Wangshu was struggling, and seeing that everyone was silent at the moment, he knew what they were thinking. probably couldn't bear to look at the tragic fate of the mother and daughter, she lowered her eyes slightly, and her heart was very complicated.

She wanted to save it, but ......

"That's it, let's talk about it." It was Lin Qingfeng who broke the deadlock first, he shook his head, hid the sad look in his eyes, and directly flicked his sleeves back to the carriage.

Li Yuan took Lin Wangshu's hand, and when she saw her like this, she immediately understood what she was thinking. It's just that she is also entangled and hesitating, and everyone is afraid that this soft-heartedness at this time will bring irreversible disasters.

"Let's go." Li Kite took Lin Wangshu's hand, Laifu and Ah Shun picked up the pile of firewood with complicated expressions, and the group returned to the carriage.

Lin Wangshu glanced in the direction of the mother and daughter, and pressed the sympathy that could not stop overflowing.

Wait, see, she'll find an answer.

On the flat open space, a small fire was born, and the cold wind howled at night, and the fire, which was not too strong, was blown by the cold wind at this time, as if it was going to be extinguished in the next second.

A pair of chapped and wrinkled hands added a few sticks of wood to it, bracing their arms to try to block out the cold wind.

Erya squatted opposite Zhang Yuzhi, saw her action of adding firewood to the fire, and also learned from her to add a few firewood to it.

While adding, he asked, "Mother, did you say that the firewood we just picked up is enough for them to use tonight?" ”

Zhang Yuzhi smiled, raised her hand and hugged Erya in her arms, and moved closer to the fire, her originally frozen body eased slightly.

"It should be enough, we'll pick up more tomorrow, but this time we must be careful not to let them find out."

"A-Niang, why can't we let them find out?" Erya doesn't understand, I don't understand why it's a good thing to send firewood to people, but it's so sneaky.

"You're still young." Zhang Yuzhi looked at the second girl in his arms gently, "The people in the carriage are our nobles, if they are told to know, they will not want it, we have nothing now, and we can only pick up some firewood for them and do what we can." ”

Erya still doesn't understand, "That mother, are we calling it repaying kindness?" ”

Zhang Yuzhi shook his head, looked at the jumping firelight in front of him, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "What kind of repayment is this...... If we can have a future, it will be a cow and a horse and we will not be able to repay this kindness......"

The second girl seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and nodded at Zhang Yuzhi, she curled up in her mother's arms, cold and stiff from the cold. They don't know how many times they have experienced such a night, but tonight, it seems to be extraordinarily cold.
