The next morning, smoke curled in the courtyard, and the smell of food filled the air, making the busy villagers feel more at ease and motivated.

Now every household is not short of food, drinking hot soy milk, eating soft acorn tofu, children can also share a small piece of chestnut cake or dried walnuts, compared to the previous can only calculate the grain under the pot, the current days, the beautiful is like a dream.

After thinking about it again, it will be even more aggressive.

After eating, the villagers set off again, but this time the mood was completely different from the beginning, no longer sad and heavy, no longer at a loss, even if the legs were still tired, but the spirit was vibrant, it didn't look like a disaster victim who went to escape the famine, but just went to the capital to make a living.

The long procession stretched for hundreds of meters in an orderly manner.

Xu Huaiyi drove the mule cart unhurriedly, still walking in the forefront, and soon after leaving the village, he met a refugee who followed them, and the person who led him was Wang Zhuo.

The refugees fled a little farther away, watching them leave with complicated expressions, and this time they did not follow.

Gu Huanxi opened the window, looked back, and calmly withdrew his gaze.

Gu Xiaoyu said in a firm tone, "Mother, those people are waiting for us to leave and then go to live in that village, right?" ”

Gu Huanxi nodded.

"So, they're not going to follow us any further?"

"Well, killing the wolves that night scared them."

"But weren't they the wolves they led down the mountain to deal with us that night?"

"To be precise, it is a poisonous plan set by a very small number of people, and other people may not know the truth, but they are just bewitched by that very few people and become pawns."

"After that they ......"

"Everyone is responsible for their own choices, they choose to stay now, and then they have to live with the consequences, for better or for worse."

Gu Xiaoyu frowned and pondered, and after a moment, he let out a relieved "um".

There must be something hateful about the wretched, and sympathy does not apply to anyone.

When he stopped for a short rest on the way, Gu Huanxi asked Xu Huaiyi in private, "What is your idea to sit back and watch Wang Zhuo lead those refugees to the village without asking?" ”

Xu Huaiyi still wanted to be vague, "We're all leaving, what do you care?" Besides, that village is not ours, whoever wants to live can go, it's not a good place, there is not even a roof, can I be reluctant? ”

Gu Huanxi stared at him expressionlessly, "Continue to make it up." ”

Xu Huaiyi was curious, "How good my reason is, why don't you believe it?" ”

Gu Huanxi snorted, "With your dog temper, the other party has attracted wolves to eat you, can you not retaliate back?" They also occupy the house, no matter how you look at it, it's weird. ”

Xu Huaiyi laughed, "Those who know me, so do my daughter-in-law." ”

Gu Huanxi urged impatiently, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

Xu Huaiyi leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Isn't there a big secret in this village?" I've picked up two things, and you're scared, and if it were known that we'd been here for a few days, would it cause you suspicion and trouble? After all, who knows who the people who set fire to the village, in case they are in the capital, in case they hear about us, in case they are suspicious, they will not let go of a thousand wrong people......"

Gu Huanxi's face gradually became solemn, and the intuitive uneasiness swept over again.

Xu Huaiyi continued, "That's why I moved in with refugees by Wang Zhuo, this trick is called Misfortune, in case those people are really tracked down in the future, it will only be Wang Zhuo and others who are suspicious, and we can almost get rid of it." ”

After listening to this, Gu Huanxi's expression softened a little, and he rarely praised it, "Yes, it's quite thoughtful." ”

Xu Huaiyi said proudly, "You must be thoughtful, how can you leave yourself with troubles and let your daughter-in-law live with me?" ”

After a pause, he sneered again, "If it weren't for Wang Zhuo's uselessness, I would have spared him with his vicious thoughts?" ”

"Maybe you won't be able to meet it again."

"Hmph, it's better to be so."

Otherwise, he would have to settle the account of the night with the wolf.

On the road again, after walking for a long time, they arrived on the official road, but they did not enter the city, and avoided the trail from a distance, the trail must be difficult to walk, but it can save five taels of silver, and the villagers did not complain at all, but the speed was slower, and they stopped cooking at noon, and they were still detouring.

Village Chief Xu looked at the barren wilderness, and came to Xu Huaiyi to discuss with some anxiety, "In such a hurry, when will you be able to go to the official road?" If you can't walk after dark, it's not safe to rest in such a place. ”

Xu Huaiyi had already secretly observed with a telescope, and he knew the bottom of his heart, so he naturally didn't panic, "Don't worry, Uncle Village Chief, you will definitely be able to sleep on the official road before dark." ”

"Really?"

"How else can I fool you?"

Seeing that his expression was calm and determined, not to comfort him, Village Chief Xu was relieved, and when he caught a glimpse of Wei Ci cooking not far away, he asked more, "Are these people you bought reliable?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said very conservatively, "It's okay." ”

Village Chief Xu muttered, "After all, I have been in the refugees before, and those who are inevitably bewitched by Wang Zhuo are confused, you still have a few more eyes, don't believe it too much, you can see people's hearts after a long time." ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded appreciatively.

Then, Village Chief Xu changed the topic and said with a smile, "But with them, your family can be idle and worry-free, I see, he is quite capable." ”

Xu Huaiyi agreed, "It's quite capable." ”

Needless to say, Wei Liang is strong in martial arts, with him, Xu Huaiyi is a lot more at ease, not only can he play the role of a bodyguard, but he also let him take over all the work at home, and he spared no effort to do it, and he dragged the grain all the way, and he didn't say that he would take a breath when he arrived at the place, build a stove, move tables and chairs, collect firewood, and not be idle for a moment.

Wei Ci is also diligent, cooking cleanly and neatly, and the taste is okay, and the rest of the time he is busy sewing clothes and shoes, and also taking care of serving Gu Huanxi and his wife, serving tea and pouring water, and ironing everything.

The biggest advantage is that you don't go to the male master, which is very duty.

is Guard, who is also very discerning, he can't do too much work at a young age, so he takes care of Gu Xiaoyu inch by inch, helps to get some things, and serves Simba by the way.

At lunchtime, Dr. Jiao was also there, and he had said before, on the way, he partnered with the Gu family, not only gave enough food and meat, but also returned the bracelet that Xu Huaiyi handed him with medicine before.

Xu Huaiyi was a little embarrassed to accept it.

Doctor Jiao said, "This is your daughter-in-law's dowry, I couldn't give it to me before, but now I eat with you, can I take advantage of it again?" Take it back, this is the thought that your father-in-law left to your daughter-in-law. ”

After listening to the last sentence, Xu Huaiyi thanked him and put it away.

But since then, the food along the way has obviously been better, the bracelet can be worth more than a dozen taels of silver, people don't take advantage of him, and he can't let people suffer, right?
