Chapter 19: Hidden Worries
"Sir, madam, Steward Li is back."
"Li Quan is back? What about people? ”
As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Li Quan heard his master's voice, and hurriedly responded: "Master, the little one is here." ”
Without waiting for Li Fushan to speak, the woman sitting next to him stood up and asked eagerly, "Li Quan, how about smiling?" What did the people in Nameless Village do to her? ”
"Mrs. Hui, Miss Cousin is all right, and she adapts quickly. When the little one came back, Miss Biao also asked the little one to say hello to you and the old man and thank you. ”
"That's good, that's good, it's okay."
Li Fushan has been observing Li Quan, looking at him hesitated when he replied just now, and immediately beat a drum in his heart, wanting to ask, but he was afraid that his wife would be anxious to hear it, so he gave Li Quan a look, and after he retired, Li Fushan excused himself to deal with something and left the hall.
Den.
"Li Quan, but what happened to Xiaoxiao?"
"Back to my lord, Miss Biao is indeed fine. However, the little one saw Wang Yunpan in the nameless village. ”
"Wang Yunpan? What did he do there? ”
"Levy grain."
Hearing the "requisition of grain", Li Fushan slapped the table and said in a low voice: "Requisition of grain? That's a nice thing to say. What's the difference between them doing that and banditry? ”
"It's Wang Yunpan, although he didn't leave much money, but he said that he had half of it. What about those people? One by one, they are even more bandits than bandits. ”
"I met you this time, and it is estimated that the grain in Nameless Village must have been paid for in silver. Ming'er, you transfer 1,000 catties of grain from Zhuangzi and personally send it to the garrison to General Huang. ”
"Yes, sir."
"I just came back from Qin County, you have worked hard, go down and rest."
"Yes. Small retirements. ”
After Li Quan left, Li Fushan tapped the desktop rhythmically with the fingers of his right hand, looked at the direction of the window and whispered: "Xiao Yifeng, Xiao Yifeng, don't let the old man down." ”
"If you hadn't laughed at her mother at the beginning, your family..."
"Well, I really don't know if we did it right or wrong..."
And the prefect's wife, Xue Wanyu, also sighed: "My good sister, the Feng family is not a sincere family, sister, I, I will make my own decisions and give the smile to the nephew of the Xiao family." ”
"If it weren't for the Feng family's bad intentions and the Xiao family's sister being a little late, Xiaoxiao would not have made a family relationship with the Feng family."
"Alas, it's all my sister's bad and I'm causing you trouble. You've been here all these years, sister, I want to help Xiaoxiao, but that girl is stubborn and won't agree. This Feng family said that it was a change of marriage, but what is the difference between it and remarrying? ”
"Laugh at this kid, this time I've been wronged... But ah, she doesn't seem to have the same temperament as before..."
Xue Wanyu whispered to herself, and the melancholy in her heart slowly rose, both on her face and in her eyes, with a deep sense of worry.
And the protagonist Guo Xiaoxiao in their mouths has fallen asleep at this moment, and is competing with Zhou Gong in chess, and he has not been affected by the current situation in the slightest.
In the following time, Guo Xiaoxiao successfully got the reward of signing for a month, which turned out to be a gift package, and nothing else.
Guo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, and then threw the gift bag in the space and didn't move.
As the days passed, the weather that should have been cooler turned out to be unusually hot.
Feeling the heat in the air, Guo Xiaoxiao also became inexplicably irritable, and intuitively felt that something was going to happen.
But after thinking about it, except that I think it has something to do with eating, it doesn't have much to do with it.
So, Guo Xiaoxiao took the four children to go out early and return late, and secretly poked and poked to eat at home.
Gradually, more and more people went up the mountain to find food.
Guo Xiaoxiao straightened his waist, looked at the denser and denser trees in front of him, and decisively gave up the idea of continuing to go inside.
Turning his head, he looked at a few children who were loading dates into the back basket not far away, and shouted loudly: "Ziyang Ziqing, it's time for us to go home." ”
"Stepmother, it'll be fine right away."
"Stepmother, wait a minute, I have to carry everything here back."
"Good. It's weird. It's almost October, and it's still so hot. Ziqing, feed my sister some water. ”
"Okay."
A moment later, the four children stood in front of Guo Xiaoxiao and grinned.
"Stepmother, we're fine, we can go down the mountain."
"Well, let's go."
"Okay."
The five mothers slowly walked towards the mountain pass...
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a voice talking, and he listened carefully.
"San'er, is it really messy outside?"
"Hammer, I'm telling you, it's best not to leave the village if you haven't had anything to do lately. I've heard that the refugees are so hungry that they can do anything. ”
"It's too dangerous outside, let's stay at home honestly."
"Who's to say it isn't. I'm afraid that if we don't go out in the village, those troubles will come up by ourselves. Alas......"
"Don't sigh, let's look for food."
"Yes, yes, finding food is the most important thing."
“……”
As the voice faded away, Guo Xiaoxiao chuckled in her heart, she always felt that the person's words were not finished.
If it was just a refugee, how could he remind him that it was best not to leave the village?
I also said that I was very hungry and did everything...
Is it possible?
Guo Xiaoxiao was suddenly frightened by herself, looked down at the four children, couldn't help but shudder, and then said, "Ziyang Ziqing, go a little faster." From tomorrow onwards, the four of you are not allowed to go out alone, you must tell me when you go out. ”
"At all times, keep the courtyard door closed. Remember? ”
Listening to Guo Xiaoxiao's nervous voice, the four of them nodded obediently: "Remember." ”
When the five mothers returned home, they heard Wen Yan's voice before they could rest.
"Sister, Sister Guo, are you at home?"
"Sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm at home." As she spoke, Guo Xiaoxiao quickly opened the courtyard door, "Sister-in-law, come in." ”
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law won't go in. I'm here to remind your mother, I heard that it's not safe lately, so don't go out if there's nothing to do. If there is something missing at home, come and tell your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law will help you find it. ”
Although Guo Xiaoxiao said that she had guessed in her heart, it was a guess after all, and at this time, Wen Yan happened to come over and mention it, so she simply asked, "Sister-in-law, what's going on?" ”
"Well, don't mention it. I heard that some of those who fled were not allowed to be good people, but preferred to be animals, which caused a lot of harm. Girl, you mothers have to be careful. ”
Saying that, she looked at the small courtyard with some concern, gritted her teeth, and stomped her feet, Wen Yan continued: "Sister, if you move to live with us, this place will be far away from the village after all." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao naturally knew that Wen Yan was really worried about them, but she had her own secrets, and she had to get used to them at home after all.
Then he opened his mouth and politely refused, "Sister-in-law, it's not very far from the village, if there is really something, let's shout a few times, and you can hear it." Don't worry, sister-in-law. ”
"You live in the village, you have to be careful, if you have anything, let people come over and say, the girl is absolutely unambiguous."
