Chapter 928: Rampant
This little episode did not affect their itinerary.
After coming to Pinghu County, they first found an inn and planned to repair it here for two days before setting off for Liangshan County.
Originally, Liu Yunxiang went to Liangshan County with a relaxed mood, but when she heard the old woman's words in the carriage, she couldn't relax now.
The next day, when the family got up, freshened up, and went out for breakfast together. Since it was a bazaar, they took Sambo out after breakfast.
Pinghu County is very wealthy, and just by visiting the market, you can also see that the local people live a prosperous and happy life.
They didn't come back until noon, and a guy who had just entered the door came up and stopped them.
"This lord and lady, you are back, someone is waiting for you in the backyard, and you have been waiting for more than an hour."
"Wait for us?"
Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, in this strange place, they didn't know anyone.
"Let's go over and see." Yan Du said.
Liu Yunxiang nodded, and the two of them pulled Sanbao to walk with the guy to the backyard, and saw a woman in a rouge coat sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard from a distance, and a little girl of fifteen or six years old, wearing a peach-colored jacket with a plain skirt underneath, combing two small pills on her head, and playing in circles with a peony in her hand.
"This is our county guard's wife, Mrs. Hu." That guy introduced.
Hearing this, Mrs. Hu turned around, she was about thirty years old, beautiful in appearance, with two dimples in her smile, and she knew at a glance that she was a cheerful person.
"You two are Mrs. Yan, the son of Yan!" Mrs. Hu hurriedly stepped forward, "Yan Gongzi saved the life of the one in my family, but he can't get away because of the fact of the banditry, so I must sincerely compensate the two of you." I didn't look for several inns, but I found two. ”
Liu Yunxiang shook his head with a smile, "Hu Junshou is polite, but it's just a gesture." ”
"But this gesture saved my husband's life, and it is a great kindness to our family."
Because it was a woman's family, Yan Du was not easy to accompany him, so he left Liu Yunxiang here, he planned to take Sanbao back first, but Sanbao had already played with the young lady of the family, and he refused to go back to the house to be bored.
There was no way, Yan Du had to go back alone first.
Mrs. Hu pulled Liu Yunxiang to sit down at the stone table and pushed a food box over.
"My husband said that the two of you are in business, and you know that there is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry, and besides, our family does not have any, so I made some snacks to show my gratitude. These are our southwest specialties, if you two don't dislike it, take it with you on the road to eat. ”
Liu Yunxiang looked at the food box, and the plate was very delicate, and it was very tempting to look at.
"I have to accept this heart, I'm hungry."
"You taste a piece first."
Mrs. Hu took a piece of jujube cake and gave it to Liu Yunxiang, Liu Yunxiang took it, tasted it, and nodded again and again, "It's fragrant and soft, Mrs. Hu's craftsmanship is really good." ”
Mrs. Hu smiled, "That's all I can do." ”
This Mrs. Hu treats people sincerely and gently, Liu Yunxiang can talk to her very well, and before she knows it, it will be dark.
"I should have invited Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan and your family to my house for dinner, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but ......" Mrs. Hu was embarrassed, "It rained heavily not long ago, and the inner courtyard of the government collapsed, and it has not been repaired. We live in a small house outside, which is really inconvenient for entertaining guests. ”
"Mrs. Hu is polite, we know that Hu Junshou is busy with official business, so we are really embarrassed to disturb. I have received Mrs. Hu's wishes, and we will set off tomorrow, and we will meet again. ”
"Then I'll see you off tomorrow."
"Don't bother Mrs. Hu, let's take the children, maybe when we will leave."
Mrs. Hu thought about it, "It's going to make you uncomfortable, so let's say goodbye today." ”
"Okay."
Sanbao had a very good time with the little girl who guarded the Hu Junshou family, and when he left, the young lady also gave him a bamboo flute with the length of his palm, saying that Hu Junshou made it.
Sanbao liked it very much when he held it in his hand, and thought that he had nothing to give to his sister, so he kissed the little girl.
The little girl blushed and ran away.
Liu Yunxiang stroked his forehead, and after sending Mrs. Hu's mother and daughter away, he seriously educated Sanbao, "It's very impolite not to be able to kiss the little girl." ”
Sanbao pouted, "But Sanbao is my sister, my mother." ”
"My sister and mother are okay, but other people's little girls can't."
"That three treasures are also pro-cigarette, pro-Xiuyuan's brother's mother-in-law, and Aunt Qu."
Liu Yunxiang rolled his eyes, "In the future, no one will be allowed to kiss except my mother." ”
"Oh, okay."
The next day, sure enough, it was noon, and the family of three got up. Liu Yunxiang yawned while helping his son get dressed, and at the same time he was too lazy to lean into Yan Dui's arms.
"Yesterday, Mrs. Hu wanted to send us, but I refused, that is, our family is lazy, and it is only at this time that people will see jokes."
Yan Du hugged Liu Yunxiang, and seeing that she was still sleepy, she said, "Do you want to sleep for a while?" ”
"No, I'm still in a hurry."
"Dad, I want to sleep." Sambo pouted.
Yan Du kicked him with her foot, "I'm too lazy, hurry down and get dressed myself." ”
Sanbao puffed up and said: "Anyway, Dad only hurts his mother, and he doesn't hurt Sanbao at all." ”
"Go ahead, get dressed and go outside to get your mother to wash her face."
Liu Yunxiang put his arm around Yan Dui's neck, leaned over and kissed him again, "Pinghu County is not far from Liangshan County, if we go faster, we can get there after dark." ”
"Well, try to get to the city as early as possible, it's not safe outside."
"So I can't sleep, so get up quickly."
After dressing and freshening up, the family of three got out of the car, and asked the guy to fill the food box for breakfast, planning to make up for it in the car. When I walked to the door of the inn, I saw a team of officials hurriedly running in the direction of the city gate, and many people watched, and the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Liu Yunxiang asked the guy if something happened, and the guy sighed and said: "The only daughter of the county guard was stolen by robbers last night, and I heard that the county guard's wife was crazy, and the county guard also chased out of the city with the official overnight." ”
"Stolen at home?" Liu Yunxiang frowned and asked.
"Not really." The man sighed again, "The county guard's family didn't live in the inner courtyard of the mansion, they lived in the alley not far ahead, and there were no guards, so the robbers climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and after a fight, they kidnapped the little girl. ”
Liu Yunxiang frowned, thinking of the little girl who played with Sanbao yesterday afternoon, with a round little face, and her mother who loved to laugh, very cute, very well-behaved and sensible.
Thinking of the style of this group of robbers again, her heart fluttered.
"Husband, I want to go and see Mrs. Hu." She said.
Yan Du nodded, "Then we won't leave today." ”
Handed over the three treasures to Jiang Yuan to take care of, Yan Du and Liu Yunxiang went to the Hu family together. When I came to the courtyard, I saw Mrs. Hu staggering out of the main house, and was about to fall down when she was supported by a grandmother.
"Madame, where are you going?" Mama was anxious and distressed.
"I'm going to save Lan'er, I have to save her!"
"Where are you going to help?"
"I ...... I ......"
Mrs. Hu couldn't speak, and her tears fell down, this was when she saw Liu Yunxiang and them coming in, she threw herself over and knelt on the ground.
"Two benefactors, please save my daughter again!"
