Chapter 3: Discovering New Materials
In the next moment, Song He'er let go directly, because of inertia, Song Xiaoyue couldn't catch it and threw the porridge bowl out directly, and the porridge was also spilled.
Song He'er sneered, looked at the officers and soldiers who were sitting under the shed not far away to eat, and deliberately raised her voice and shouted: "Sister, even if you don't like to eat, don't spill these foods!" ”
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers ran over directly, and they didn't understand the situation, so they went up and gave Song Xiaoyue a slap, "Slut!" Now just out of the capital, some of them are good to eat, and when they get to remote areas, let alone white rice, they can't even drink hot water, and they dare to waste food, get out! ”
Song Xiaoyue stood up aggrievedly and cried: "It's her, it's her who splashes me!" ”
"It's you who grabs porridge with me, this is my bowl, your bowl is over there!" As she spoke, Song He'er pointed to the three empty bowls on the straw mat not far away.
Sure enough, the officers and soldiers believed Song He'er's words, pulled out rattans, and wanted to hit Song Xiaoyue.
"Mother! Mother save me! ”
The eldest lady, Li, was still washing her hands by the river, but when she heard the shouting here, she hurriedly came over to protect the calf, "Official! Don't fight! Don't fight! ”
"You group of people, just kicking your nose in the face, have become the main criminals of the imperial court, what kind of shelves are you holding, what kind of score are you posing!"
"Yes, we were wrong, the child is not sensible, please, for my sake!"
Saying that, Li took off the only Hetian jade pendant from his chest, handed it to the officers and soldiers, and begged: "The last thing, please the official, give our mother a few ways to live, and take care of us a lot......"
The officer and soldier took the pendant, weighed it in the palm of his hand, and replied: "Be honest in the future, don't have nothing to do, go to dinner." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Li sent the officer and soldier away, and immediately shifted his gaze to Song He'er's body, his cold gaze was sinister, as if he had a deep hatred, and wanted to stare people out of a hole.
However, Song He'er is not afraid of Li's threat, that jade pendant is only her last dignity, except for this time, there is a next time, and there is a next time.
How much does she have enough to bribe these three thousand miles?
Thinking of this, Song He'er also returned an indifferent smile, and left the team with porridge in the back.
Li pulled his daughter aside and said to her while polishing her clothes, "You, you're always so frizzy, what are you doing to mess with that donkey's hooves?" ”
"Mother, that little slut, usually doesn't even dare to let out a fart! What's going on today? Hell yes! ”
"If she hadn't died in the fire, Nile Bodhisattva was reincarnated, how long would she live? Just her sick little lady will die on the road sooner or later! ”
Song Xiaoyue thought that someone would die on the road, and immediately became worried again: "Mother, what about us?" We don't have any money! ”
Li smiled faintly: "Don't worry, there is a Zhuangzi in Xinyang Town, and there is the dowry money I prepared for you buried in it!" ”
"Then we can't take it." After that, Song Xiaoyue continued to grieve again.
"Silly boy, your uncle has already asked people to take care of it, and when we are about to arrive, someone will come to deliver it in person, a total of 10,000 taels of silver tickets."
"Mother is telling the truth."
Hearing that there was money, Song Xiaoyue immediately got up and walked past Song He'er with her head held high.
Song He'er didn't bother to pay attention to the mother and daughter, turned around, carefully took out two steamed goose eggs from her own space, and handed them to Qin Xiaoniang.
"A-Niang, these things are nutritious, if you eat them, my brother will have milk to drink."
Qin was a little surprised: "Where did you get these things?" ”
"I took it out of the kitchen while I was in the chaos, and I kept it in my arms, others can't find it, you eat it quickly, otherwise it will be over if you are seen by the officers and soldiers."
Qin Shi looked at his daughter's small body, although he was a little suspicious, he didn't ask too much, quickly ate a goose egg, and left the rest for Song He'er to eat.
The sun soon went down, and the group continued to set off south.
Out of the fertile paddy fields on the outskirts of Beijing, there is a mountain range in front of it, which is not tight and steep, and there are often fierce beasts infested, except for the officials and criminals exiled by the imperial court to take a shortcut here, ordinary people do not pass through at all.
If you can climb to the top of the mountain before dark and set up a tent by moonlight, you can get through it safely, but I am afraid that the whole team will be stuck in the deep mountains and old forests at night.
Hey, it would be nice if she could have a map, and with the compass in her own space, she would definitely be able to get out of this mountain!
Pity......
"Hey! Behind, go faster, we have to go up the mountain as soon as possible, you know? The officers and soldiers continued to shout in front.
Song He'er took her mother and walked up the mountain road step by step.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind, "What someone! ”
Song He'er looked behind him and saw an officer and soldier holding a knife on the neck of a farmer in a coarse cloth shirt.
The farmer's face turned pale with fright, "Official...... Official! I'm a good citizen, I'm just going up to the mountains to hunt! ”
The officers and soldiers looked him up and down, a little believing, looking at this man with a bow and arrows on his back, and intuitively felt that his way was definitely not simple.
"Nonsense, this is the Huaihe Mountains, which stretches for dozens of miles, and there is a mountain forest where wolves often haunt you, just you, dare to come here to hunt?! Say, is it the same party of this group of prisoners who want to give them silver? ”
"Silver? Where do I have the silver, I am a tenant in a village at the foot of this mountain, there are old and young, and the whole family of five or six people is waiting for me to feed alone, eh, sir, don't let me have fun! The farmer struggled to argue.
"Search! Search! So saying, several officers and soldiers rushed forward and pressed the tenant to the ground.
The exiled contingent consisted of only ten officers and men.
The female prisoners sent by the imperial court to escort them were all inconsequential big-headed soldiers, who could not wield knives and guns at all, and would only scare the female elites.
Song He'er looked at the bow and arrow behind the tenant, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
If she can have such a good bow and arrow, can she also wade into a white fox and a black bear in this deep mountain and old forest?
These things are worth a lot more than any buckskin and horse skin!
Just thinking about it, Song He'er shouted at those officers and soldiers: "Wait a minute! ”
Qin Xiaoniang thought that she was going to cause trouble, so she directly protected her behind her and watched.
However, the officers and soldiers still heard this shout, and directly let go of the farmer, and asked impatiently: "What are you arguing about?" ”
"It's getting dark, since he's a tenant here, he must be familiar with the mountain roads, why don't you let him take us there?"
The news is good news, after all, no one wants to die in this barren mountain and old forest, and the officers and men agreed after thinking about it as soon as they heard it.
The tenant broke out in a cold sweat and trembled forward to lead the way......
