As soon as Ah Jiu entered the house, Cai Lihua opened the veil mysteriously.

Inside was washed gold nuggets and broken silver: "What's the matter, pull out most of it, if you eat something, I guess you can pull out the rest later." ”

"Mother, don't do this kind of thing next time, if you can't pull it out, you won't have to pay for it."

Ah Jiu felt distressed when he thought about it.

"How can I be?" Cai Lihuala's sallow face was full of smiles: "My mother knows in my heart, if it is a big gold ingot, my mother will not be so stupid to swallow it." ”

"You can't swallow it either." Ah Jiu muttered.

"Yes." Cai Lihua fiddled with the biggest piece of gold: "Fortunately, my mother ate this piece first, otherwise it would be a pity if she couldn't pull it out in the end." ”

"Bang bang."

The six doors of the front hall were slammed.

The bucket jumped up in fright, now that the Liu family is in decline, and there is no one in charge of the family, he doesn't know whether to open the door or not.

"Jiu'er girl, someone knocked on the door." He didn't dare to open the door without his own hands, what if it was a homeless.

Ah Jiu's eyes were also slightly worried: "It's better not to open the door." ”

"Yes, Sister Jiu'er is right, there are so many homeless people outside at this time, opening the door and letting them in may mean robbing and plundering."

Tuoba Yan added.

This night, Ah Jiu slept unsteadily, and was crowded in the same room as Cai Lihua.

Meng Shaode took on the responsibility of protecting the family, and slept in the courtyard with Tuoba Yan against the corner of the wall all night.

The wooden door was photographed many times overnight, and Meng Shaode was afraid that someone would break in, so he moved the tables and chairs to block the door.

Ah Jiu had already told Cai Lihua about the situation.

"Speaking of which, the business of selling water is not good, daughter, let's sell melons and fruits, okay? After saving enough money, my mother will open a small restaurant, and I will ensure that you can raise you fat and fat. ”

Cai Lihua is full of thoughts and has nothing else, that's it.

"Mother, it's so chaotic outside, I don't know if the army of the government will be able to calm down tomorrow, it's a blessing that we won't starve to death."

Ah Jiu said and took out a pomegranate from his arms and stuffed it to his mother.

Cai Lihua didn't make such a fuss anymore, sat up and broke the pomegranates, and one by one they buckled them down and put them in the palm of her hand and sent them to Ah Jiu's mouth.

Ah Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to accept.

Her mother's happiest thing is to eat and drink more, if she doesn't eat, she will be unhappy.

The sky was bright, and the door was slammed again.

In such turmoil, the mother and daughter couldn't sleep.

When Ah Jiu got up, the sky had just unfolded the white belly of the fish, and the sound of horses' hooves on the street outside shattered the morning glow.

"Door-to-door searches."

"If someone of unknown origin is brought back to the yamen for interrogation, the rebel will be killed."

Ah Jiu instantly felt a cold wind poured into his neck.

"Brother Bucket, Daddy, Xiaoyan, someone knocked on the door." Ah Jiu called one by one, and then dared to go to the front hall to see the situation.

"Where is the Liu family? At the behest of the prefect, he came to place a paperwork. "The voice is a little familiar.

As soon as the outsider said this, Ah Jiu turned around and glanced at Meng Shaode Tuoba Yan: "It's not a homeless person." ”

Meng Shaode nodded: "It's from the government." ”

"It seems that the homeless people have almost been driven away." The bucket listened with its ears pricked up, not as restless as it had been yesterday evening:

"Miss Jiu'er, this document must be received, after all, it was ordered by the prefect Wang." Bucket offers.

Ah Jiu doesn't know anything about the officialdom, since the bucket knows, then open the door.

I took down a door panel first, and saw that it was Yun Hao who was sitting on the tall head outside.

Ah Jiu won't be even more worried this time, and removed a few door panels: "Brother Yunhao, is my grandma back?" ”

Yun Hao's face was serious, he turned over and dismounted, and only when he got closer did he whisper, "I'm working." ”

"Oh." Ah Jiu reacted at this time, and hurriedly saluted: "What is the important matter of the official?" ”

Yun Hao cleared his throat, took out an envelope with a firearm seal from his arms and handed it over: "Lord Wang ordered Miss Meng Jiu'er to rush to the mansion quickly, and now he is imprisoning a homeless person who has contracted the plague, I am afraid that he escaped from Yizhuang in Nanzhou County, if he is cured, he will be rewarded." ”

Ah Jiu's body trembled, and he didn't dare to accept the document at all, Meng Shaode hurriedly stopped his daughter in his arms:

"Plague? This official is not joking, my daughter doesn't know medical skills, you have to find someone who knows how to do it, and besides, the plague is contagious, and it's not good for my daughter to risk her life when she is so big. ”
