Chapter 22: Mother
Early the next morning, Xin came to the back yard again.
He saluted his mother, Gan, the widow of Xin Wuxi.
"My son, I have heard about yesterday."
Without waiting for Xin to speak again, Gan spoke.
"I didn't report it to my mother." Xin said again.
"I thought it would be impossible for you to survive from the sword of the Rong people. I didn't expect you to call for reinforcements, which was really unexpected. ”
"Xinyi is in danger, so I have to think of some ways."
Xin was respectful and respectful, and in front of this old woman, he didn't dare to have a trace of rudeness.
"Son, come and have a look."
Gan said suddenly.
Xin was stunned for another moment, and then walked over to Gan.
The room was dim, and Xin approached to find that Gan looked very old.
She was only in her early forties, with gray hair and a patch around the corners of her eyes.
She stretched out her bone-like hand, grabbed Xin You's wrist, and pulled it up gently.
"Wu'er...... Does it still hurt? ”
Gan stroked a wound on Xin's arm.
"Already...... It doesn't hurt anymore. ”
Xin You's heart was inexplicably moved.
No matter how hard this old woman is to her son, she is Xin You's mother after all.
Her deep love for Xin You can't be hidden.
It's just that Gan's expectations for Xin are too high, which makes the previous Xin timid, and he doesn't dare to do anything.
"Sit down, mother, touch your head."
Xin obediently sat cross-legged in front of her mother's lap and let the old woman touch her hair.
In his previous life, he had already lost his mother.
In front of Gan, Xin felt the emotion that had been missing for a long time......
"Child, are you afraid of facing the Rong people yesterday?"
Hearing that his son had organized a battle against the Rong people, Gan's heart couldn't have been happier.
"Don't be afraid, if I'm afraid, the people will definitely be afraid, then everything I did before will be in vain."
"You're doing this for Wei?"
Gan finally spoke.
Xin shook his head again: "No, I just don't want Xin Yi to be bullied." ”
"Wu'er...... Finally grew up. ”
Gan was very pleased and gently stroked Xin You's head.
"In the future, Xinyi will depend on you."
"I know, mother."
Xin gently shook her mother's hand again, it was very cold.
"Then are you afraid of the Fan clan and Xin Quan?" Gan continued to ask.
This time, Xin hesitated for a long time before saying, "If it's just the two of them, I have nothing to be afraid of, but they represent the small sects of the Fan family and the Xin family, and I really don't know what to do." ”
"I understand." Gan said: "Let it go, I won't care about you anymore." ”
She patted Xin You's shoulder and motioned for Xin to stand up again.
Xin didn't expect that this old-fashioned old lady would just let go of herself?
Shouldn't she be staging a drama of old ideas against new things?
"In the past, I hoped that you would be able to take charge of your own as soon as possible, but you were always timid and hesitant to do things, so I want to teach you. But judging from what you did yesterday, you don't need me to lead you anymore. ”
Gan explained why.
In fact, she didn't know that it was precisely because she was in too much control before, that Xin couldn't do things again.
"Mother, I'm going to send Dr. Puyi later."
"Go ahead." Gan laughed.
Xin's heart moved again, and from his memory, since Xin Wu's death, Gan rarely smiled.
It seems that this old mother is really happy for herself.
Leaving Gan's family, Xin felt relieved again.
Judging from Gan's words, he has at least become the owner of this "small family".
When the problem of the three elders is solved, he will become the real master of Xinyi.
The army of Puyi's countrymen has lined up outside Xinyi.
In this battle, the sword and gun were not moved, and the Rong people were scared away, and they were also very happy.
Fan Qian had woken up and seemed to be in good spirits.
"Xinren, we're going back quickly." Fan Qi said: "Yiluo Zhirong didn't take advantage of you, maybe he will attack other places, and we have to guard against these guys recently." ”
"Okay, I'm in a hurry to tell you the solution." Sing added: "I have the pigeons ready. ”
Xin had another pigeon taken out, tied his legs, and gave it to Fan Qi.
Fan Qi looked at the meaty pigeon and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Don't eat it!"
Xin gave Fan Cheng another vaccination.
"Uh...... Okay, okay. ”
Fan Qian nodded.
Puyi's troops soon left.
Xin and the villagers also returned to Yicheng.
The Rong people are gone, but there is still much to do.
The first thing is to repair the road destroyed during the battle, which is the only way out of Xinyi, which is very important.
When he was directing everyone to build the road, the cattle man Fan Mu pulled a few old cows and walked back dejectedly.
Fan Mu spent a lot of effort and finally brought back four live cows.
Four of them were killed by the Rong.
The other side followed this opportunity and left the country.
There is also a head that somehow ignites the upper body and turns into barbecue.
Seeing Xin You, Fan Mu's stomach finally broke out.
"Doctor Yi! The cow lost its !! ”
The cow is lost, which is a big deal!
As an important tool of production, cattle are extremely valuable.
The cattle man is specially for the public to raise cattle, and the cattle he raises are the public property of the Xinyi family.
Now that you have lost a few heads, you will naturally be punished.
So Fan Mu looked at Xin You with resentment in his eyes, after all, this "Fire Bull Scheme" was a bad idea that Xin You came up with.
"Hmm...... This one...... The cow was killed by the Rong people, right? ”
Xin said to Fan Mu again.
"No, the Rong people only killed four."
Fan Mu said bluntly.
"Six! I say six heads are six heads! Xin said solemnly: "If it is four, then you can make up for the remaining two." ”
"Ah...... Forehead ......"
Fan Mu seemed to understand something: "That's right! They were all killed by the Rong people! ”
"yes. Rong people are really hateful! ”
Xin gritted his teeth again, and Fan Mu also looked bitter and hateful.
The cow matter was solved for the time being.
Xin continued to direct the people to build the road.
The main labor force for road construction is the Xin family and some small families.
Cheng and Yin did not send anyone to participate.
This has become commonplace in Xinyi.
Unless it is a major matter related to the vital interests of the two clans, they will not easily contribute to participate in the official affairs of Xinyi.
"It seems that yesterday's events were not enough to make these two surrender!"
Xin stretched again, he knew it wasn't that simple.
"Gentleman!"
Du Gan, the eldest son of the Du family, walked over with a cart of soil,
"Oh? Du Jiazi, aren't you done yet? ”
"The section that our Du family repaired has been completed, and I helped the Mao family pull some soil, and they are almost finished." 、
The people of the Du family, helping other families to work, did not have a little boredom on their faces.
"The strength of the small family is weak and they have to rely on Xinyi, so they are very concerned about the affairs of the public family. On the contrary, those big families only care about themselves, but they don't care so much about the things in the city. ”
