Three months later, Lu Qingtang and others finally arrived at the boundary of Nanzhou.

There are still twenty miles to go into Fangcheng County to rest, eat a hot meal, take a hot bath, and then sleep beautifully.

But it backfired, the path was too rugged, and the two babies couldn't stand the bumps of the carriage, so Lu Qingtang had to ask Shui Yunxi to stop.

Not only the two babies, but even Lu Qingtang and several adults couldn't stand it, so it was good to stop and rest.

But it was getting darker, and I was going to stay at night.

After several discussions, they decided to go to the village to borrow a farmhouse to live in, and give them ten taels or eight taels at will, which is enough for them to live for a year.

So Shui Yunxi explored the road in front, Yu Bai broke off in the back, and the two carriages in the middle turned to a farmer's house.

The farmer's sister-in-law was very enthusiastic, and when she saw the guests, she immediately asked her father-in-law and husband to kill chickens and pigs, and her mother-in-law cleaned up the house and gave them sleep at night.

Seeing that the only chicken in the chicken cage was killed, Mo Bao was so distressed that he squatted in front of the stinky chicken cage and cried, insisting that Lu Qingtang buy him a big rooster.

Lu Qingtang felt that he was annoying, so he hugged Mo Yue and pulled Mo Mo around the yard, ignoring him at all. Mo Xinyu and Shui Lingxun couldn't get used to seeing him howling there, so they went over to coax him and make him happy.

Lu Qingtang hugged Mo Yue in his arms, glanced at Mo Bao with disgust, and then said to Mo Xinyu: "Xinyu, don't pay attention to him, he is just that virtuous, just cry twice." ”

Mo Xinyu pouted, "Sister Tang, don't say that, it's normal for children to have a little temper, let's be patient as adults." ”

Lu Qingtang snorted coldly, and his eyes were full of laughter, "I can't make a big rooster even if I have patience, this kid has to fool around." ”

"If only there were a few more chickens in this cage." Shui Lingxun looked at the chicken cage with her cheeks, and then said to Mobao, "Little Mobao, forgive my aunt for not being able to conjure a big for you, let's be good." ”

Mo Xinyu said with a smile: "If Yu Bai hadn't treated his carrier pigeon as a treasure, we would have been able to play with the carrier pigeon." ”

"That carrier pigeon must not be strangled to death by this little ancestor!" Shui Lingxun laughed, and touched Mobao's round little head as he laughed.

Somehow, Yu Bai actually raised a pigeon, or a carrier pigeon. But Lu Qingtang didn't care about this, her focus was on the chicken coop in front of her.

The chicken cage is a cage nailed out of wood, with a thick layer of chicken manure underneath, a brand new lock hanging from the door at the top of the cage, and the cage is an old cage.

She thought something was strange.

First, a lock is expensive for a farmer, but this family locks the chicken coop. Second, the peasant family is reluctant to kill chickens to eat, unless it is the New Year's holiday, and there is only one chicken left in their cage. There has been no solar terms lately, and the chicken manure under this cage is telling her that there were many chickens in this cage.

So what is the reason why there are so many chickens missing from this family for a while?

Lu Qingtang had doubts in her heart but didn't say it, these things had nothing to do with her, it was possible that people killed and ate them themselves, she might have thought too much.

But when eating, Lu Qingtang found that the two dolls in this family were particularly gluttonous, as if they hadn't seen meat for hundreds of years. Lu Qingtang already had a child himself, and when he saw such a child, he inevitably felt pity, so he gave some good meat to the children.

The farmer's sister-in-law and brother were very grateful, their mouths were stupid, and they couldn't say flattering words, so they just blindly let them eat. Lu Qingtang really felt the simplicity of the peasant family, so he was not polite.

After eating, Lu Qingtang took the babies to rest.

There are quite a lot of houses in this family, and three or four people sleeping in one room do not feel cramped.

Nanzhou is located in the south, the four seasons are like spring, and it is still a little cold at night. But cold is better than hot, just cover it with a quilt, it's not like it's hot, and people who will be hot can't stand it.

Lu Qingtang and Su Mu Kedan finally put the three babies to sleep, and the two of them went to the yard to fetch water, and when they came back, they all looked mysterious.

Su Mu took off Lu Qingtang's shoes and socks, and whispered: "Sister, sister-in-law told us to take care of our belongings, there are bandits around here, and they often come to Zhuangzi to steal things when they have nothing to do." ”

"I also told the people of the Shui family just now, our carriage and fine soft are also for Brother Yu Bai to look at, Brother Yu Bai is extraordinary, and there will be no problems in the future." Kodan said as she bolted the door.

Make sure the latch is OK and pull it open, and go back to wait until you go to bed before latching the door.

Lu Qingtang frowned, and asked them again, "Are you sure you heard correctly?" Is it stealing, not robbing? ”

Su Mu nodded, then looked at Kodan, as if to say: Is there any problem?

Kodan also sensed that something was wrong, "No, aren't the bandits robbed?" How can you steal something? The one who steals is called a thief! ”

Su Mu finally understood now, and she immediately looked at Lu Qingtang with a frightened expression, "Sister, sister-in-law's family won't be bandits, right?" ”

Lu Qingtang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ko Dan, and the two immediately looked at each other and smiled, both staggering with laughter.

At this time, Mo Bao on the bed moved, Lu Qingtang immediately covered his mouth, and made a silent gesture at Ko Dan, and Ko Dan immediately covered his mouth.

Su Mu saw that they were laughing at herself, and immediately became a little unhappy, she flattened her mouth and said, "What do you mean, laugh at me for being stupid?" You guys are so bad! ”

Lu Qingtang shook his head helplessly, "No, Su Mu, think about it, if she has any crooked thoughts, what are we afraid of?" Besides, if you look at their dolls like that, they haven't eaten a good meal, so how can they be bandits? ”

Su Mu immediately had an epiphany, she nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I noticed, they saw that both eyes were shining!" ”

"How can a bandit be so greedy!" Kodan couldn't help but laugh too.

Su Mu was a little relieved, she washed Lu Qingtang's feet, and washed up with Ko Dan, and then went to bed together. Lu Qingtang was lying between the two babies, kicked by Mo Bao for a while, and hugged by Mo Mo around his neck for a while, and couldn't sleep well.

She looked at the night outside, so she quietly got out of bed and went out to breathe.

The night was as cold as water, but the place in Nanzhou was very comfortable, and she moved a chair to sit in the courtyard and enjoy the moonlight. In my mind, I kept recalling the bits and pieces with Mo Zeshen, his laughter, his kindness to himself, and everything he did for her with all his heart vividly.

But he said that to himself, and divorced himself, and he was driven out like a lost dog. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lived in such a wilderness, and now she still misses him to the moon.

It really shouldn't be!

Lu Qingtang shook his head and threw Mo Zeshen out of his mind. At this time, sleepiness hit, and she was about to go back to her room to sleep, but at this moment, she heard a low sobbing sound of a woman.
