Chapter 35: Mother, the person behind is suspicious
Seeing that the donkey was quite stable, Hong Xiaoduo got into the car with peace of mind: "Tianshu, sit up, it's not a few dozen catties for you." If you feel sorry for it, let's give it better forage to eat in the future, and take good care of it. ”
When Tianshu heard this, he obediently sat on the wheel.
Although Tianxuan was the same age as him and was eight years old, they didn't even know where their home was, what their surnames were, and naturally they didn't know the month and hour of their birth.
So, according to the comparison of height and shortness, Tianshu was one punch higher than Tianxuan, and he became an elder brother.
But this brother is not so easy to be, he must protect his younger brothers and sisters as much as possible, and avoid being beaten by the wicked man.
If you ask for food outside, you should also find a way to hide it secretly and leave it for the one who can't eat because of the punishment.
Rushing to do everything has become Tianshu's habit, and so is the rush.
Hong Xiaoduo said that she was an adult, and she came to catch up, but Tianshu disagreed, saying that he could do it, let him try it first.
In fact, if Hong Xiaoduo really wants to catch this car, there is no way, as long as she keeps a straight face and orders Tianshu will not dare to disobey.
But she didn't do it, because she wasn't sure how long she could take care of them, whether she would disappear suddenly, whether she could find a suitable place before she disappeared, and when reliable people entrusted them, she could only simply put her heart down and let the children do what they could, and exercise their ability to take care of themselves and survive.
As soon as Hong Xiaoduo entered the carriage and sat down, Yaoguang leaned over to her.
"Tired?" Hong Xiaoduo asked softly.
Yaoguang's little head shook like a rattle: "Mother, I'm not tired, it's the first time I've taken a carriage, it's too comfortable." ”
"Little fool, it's a donkey cart, a donkey cart." Tianquan opened his mouth and corrected.
Yaoguang didn't feel embarrassed that he had said something wrong: "The carriage and donkey cart are all four-legged carts anyway, and they all look similar, anyway, we don't have to go by ourselves, and we don't have to worry about my brothers anymore." ”
Her words made everyone in the carriage laugh.
"Yaoguang, sheep and pigs are also four-legged, can they also pull carts?" Tianxuan teased her little sister.
Hong Xiaoduo also tilted her head to look at Yaoguang beside her, wanting to hear how she would respond.
saw Yaoguang glaring at the second brother with wide eyes: "I'm just younger than you, and I'm not stupid." We've walked so far, when did we see a cart pulled by sheep and pigs? ”
Looking at Yaoguang's puffing cute appearance, the big guy smiled even more happily.
"Mother, you see the second brother bullying me, you don't care." Yaoguang remembered the complaint.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded very seriously: "Okay, then next time I buy halva, I will give him a small piece, who will let him tease our Xiao Yaoguang, okay?" ”
Yaoguang nodded immediately when he heard this, well, this is good, and pinched his waist proudly towards Tianxuan.
Tianxuan also immediately cooperated, and the two hands were put together, making a brother's mistake and begging for forgiveness.
Looking at the happy way the children are now, and thinking about the scene when they first met them, if it wasn't for her meddling, then wouldn't they have been abused?
Even now with her, no matter what the children do, they are still cautious and watch her face act.
Yaoguang is the smallest, but it's better.
"Mother?" At this time, Tianshu, who was driving the car, suddenly shouted.
I only shouted my mother, but I didn't say anything? Hong Xiaoduo thought about it, changed positions with Yu Heng, who was sitting at the front, and opened the small lattice window in front.
Hearing the voice, Tianshu leaned over and whispered: "Those people, soon after leaving the town, were behind us, riding horses, and they are still behind." ”
Hearing him say this, Hong Xiaoduo lifted the curtain on the side, stretched out her head to look behind, and sure enough, the distance from two miles or so, yes, one or two ......, she clicked, it was six people, to be exact, six people on horseback.
She couldn't see anything else at this distance, so she lowered the curtain and said to Tianshu, who was driving the car, "Stop on the side of the road and feed the donkey." ”
Tianshu responded, stopped, and Hong Xiaoduo asked the six in the car, if there was anything to go to, if not, stay in the car, don't get down.
A few small ones wanted to say no, but Tianquan reminded them in a whisper, let's go if there is one, don't look back and want to delay the effort after setting off.
In this way, all six small ones got out of the car.
According to the rules given by Hong Xiaoduo, the men are left and the women are right, the boys go to the bushes on the left, and the two girls are accompanied by her to the grass on the right.
When he returned to the car, Hong Xiaoduo asked Tianxuan and them to help him pick up some stones.
There is still a cloth bag on the waist, just in case, pick up some spare.
She was not in a hurry to get in the car and continue on her way, the children were looking for suitable stones beside her, and she sat on a piece of dead wood, untied the sword at her waist and rested it on her lap, looking at the quaint lines on the scabbard, and from time to time she seemed to glance inadvertently in the direction from which she came.
It stands to reason that this is the most normal for people to walk on the official road.
But those men on horseback, even if there is no urgency and no need to speed up, it will not be slower than this donkey cart, right?
The reason why Tianshu told her was that he must have felt a little uneasy and felt abnormal.
Hong Xiaoduo didn't think that Tianshu was young, and he was thinking and suspicious. That's why she asked the child to stop the car, saying that she was feeding the donkey, but in fact she just wanted to stop here and see how the group of people reacted.
She looked at a few children and a donkey cart again, this donkey cart is not inconspicuous, even the donkey with the cart is only a few taels of silver? Worth such a big battle to grab?
Could it be a robbery? She's okay, but she's not so good, is she?
Hong Xiaoduo felt that if it was really for people, the possibility of robbing her might be more likely than robbing these seven children.
After all, they are clean now, and their appearance is too rare.
It's not right, if you tie up all of them and sell them, maybe they really sell for a good price?
The people on horseback in the back looked at their master in confusion, and they really couldn't understand what this person thought.
Why do you send three catties to keep an eye on the movements of a strange little lady with seven children, and then follow behind like this.
Several of his subordinates were full of doubts, and they didn't dare to speak, let alone ask, feeling that the mount was a little impatient.
At this speed, it's just a little faster than standing still.
"Master, they stopped." Sanjin received a hint from his companion, and plucked up the courage to ask.
"Your grandfather, I'm not blind, I can see it." Mu Zitao's tone was very bad.
After thinking about it, I realized that the owner of the donkey cart had stopped on purpose......
