Chapter 48

After all, people are so young, they don't even ask him what his identity is, where he comes from and where he is going!

Why, after living a handful of years, is he not even as good as a little lady?

The old man suppressed the curiosity in his heart, ate two more baked cakes, and said that he was full.

It's not that he is polite to others, but according to his appetite, he eats all the snacks in front of him, and at most it can be regarded as a cushion for his stomach.

Seeing that the big seven children had already eaten, the old man was embarrassed to continue to stay, got up and thanked him and walked to his carriage. After such a short distance, before getting into the carriage, he looked back and saw that the children had already moved like ants, put away all their things, and sent them to the donkey cart.

"Do you know why those children don't have hair?" The old man was not in a hurry to get into the carriage, but stood with his hands in his hands and looked in the direction of the donkey cart and asked.

The guards were surprised, how long had it been since he had spoken to them in such a tone?

Why, just after eating something with the little lady and a group of children, and when you came back, your mood improved?

"Lord Hui, my subordinates are stupid and don't know."

"My subordinates don't know." The attendants pondered for a moment but did not come up with a reasonable answer.

The old man smiled: "The reason is very simple, just because those children have lice on their hair, they all shaved their heads." ”

"Huh? So? ”

"Not really, right?"

"It's too hasty."

Feeling the good mood of the old man, the mood of the guards was also much more relaxed. When I looked at the little lady and the children not far away again, there was no guard in my eyes as before.

"Let's take it easy, look at a little lady in her teens, with a group of dolls, how can people be so comfortable on the road? Look at you again, all kinds of vigilance and caution along the way, hey. The old man said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"My lord, it's not peaceful in all parts of the country now, and there are often robberies on this road. They were fine, maybe people looked at the donkey cart and thought there was no oil and water, so they didn't do anything to them. One of the guards said.

Even if the world is peaceful, he doesn't dare to be careless, and his heart says how many people have you offended, don't you have any points in your heart?

Originally, he served in the capital, and some people had the heart of revenge, and they didn't dare to do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven. But, now it's different, isn't this the emperor removed from his official position, how can those who have offended him let go of this opportunity.

Otherwise, the moody man on the dragon chair will be reinstated one day, won't their days be sad again?

When the old man heard this, he shook his head with a smile: "You just said that the current situation is not very peaceful in various places, and the bandits who block the road and rob must still pick the fat and the thin?"

A donkey cart doesn't sell for much silver, but it's better than nothing. Even if you don't sell it after you get it, you don't have to slaughter it and eat it, it's not a loss.

Moreover, thieves don't just rob property, when they meet a woman, such a half-grown child, they will also rob people.

"By the way, my lord, the little lady is equipped with a sword at her waist, but, her subordinates are watching from such a distance, she doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts, and the sword is probably to scare people and strengthen her courage.

Perhaps, it also deterred the robbers along the way? One of the guards remembered.

The old man shook his head, disagreeing with his speculation: "Do you think those who make a living by blocking the road and robbing are all rabbits?" ”

Seeing that the donkey cart was about to continue its journey, the old man suddenly remembered to open the door of the carriage and looked at a food box inside: "Come on, send this to them."

If they refuse to accept it, say thank them for their hospitality, which is a return gift. ”

"My lord, if you eat their things, why don't we give a few taels of silver, but the things in them are all prepared for you by the old lady, and the lady herself prepared them for you.

It's all given to others, if you want to eat it when you look back, where will your subordinates find you? You can't even buy it. The guard said anxiously.

"If you are verbose, the old man will send it over by himself." The old man was a little impatient.

I feel like I'm still ignoring them like before.

"My lord, why don't we keep half of ......? Well, the subordinates will send it over. After speaking, he reluctantly reached out and took out the food box and walked towards the donkey cart.

"Pay attention to your expression, if you dare to show your face to others and confiscate it, then you don't have to continue to follow the old man." The old man warned.

The guard paused slightly, changed his smile and continued walking.

Tianshu was already preparing to set off in a hurry, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly told Hong Xiaoduo in the carriage.

Hong Xiaoduo opened the car door and saw a smiling guard carrying a food box, but this smile looked a little unnatural, it was the kind of person who was obviously unhappy in his heart and didn't want to laugh, but for some reason, he had to squeeze out a smile.

"This is my lord's hometown-style jerky, as well as dried fruit snacks, my lord ordered me to give it to you." After the guard finished speaking, he handed the food box in his hand towards the door.

When Hong Xiaoduo heard this, he looked at the food box: "Okay, thank you for me." After speaking, he took the food box behind him, but the other party didn't let go, and Hong Xiaoduo looked up at the other party.

When the guard saw her coming, he suddenly reacted and quickly let go.

"Tianshu, let's go." After placing the food box on the empty seat, Hong Xiaoduo reached out and closed the door and beckoned Tianshu.

Seeing the donkey cart moving forward in no hurry, the guard looked at his empty hand again, and accepted it? You're welcome? The old man's words didn't work.

There were really everyone, and the guard returned to the carriage a little depressed.

The old man looked at him with a wrong face, but he didn't care, just sent the things out, picked up the corner of his robe and got into the carriage.

"Hey, what are you doing, why do you want to do it, let's just listen." Someone persuaded a companion who had just returned from delivering a food box.

The companion turned his head to look at the carriage behind him, and whispered: "How can you say that there is such a person, there is no vigilance at all when you go out, and you are not afraid that you have poison or phantom medicine?"

Just like that, I went out with a group of dolls, and I don't know when I was sold. ”

"What you said, didn't we adults eat other people's things just now, and you're saying here that people didn't talk about us adults together?" Another reminded in a low voice.

"I said Fang Tian, didn't you realize that you had made a fatal mistake?" Another companion spoke.

Fang Tian turned his head to look at him, very puzzled: "Mingye, you said, what am I bothered about?" ”

"Our adults have seen anyone over the years?" Ming Ye asked.

Fang Tian blurted out without thinking about it: "Our adults are the most accurate in looking at people, how can we look at the wrong people?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Tian was stunned for a moment, yes, what's wrong with him?

At this time, on the donkey cart in front, Hong Xiaoduo watched a few children curiously open the drawers of the food box, and each drawer was full of dried meat, dried fish or something.

Even if you haven't tasted it yet, looking at the condition, you know it's not bad.

"Mother, that person didn't seem to be very reluctant just now." Tianxuan hesitated, but still said what was in her heart.

Hong Xiaoduo nodded: "Well, I know." ”

The other children all looked at her, knowing that they didn't want to give it, and they still took it?

"This is what the person you called the Father to send us just now, so what does it matter if the person who just sent something is willing or not, don't care what others think." Hong Xiaoduo said, and also reached out and touched this food box, she didn't understand what wood, anyway, she felt that the workmanship was very good, and it was engraved with Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum.

In the shop in Willow Town, she had seen that it was really a big difference compared to this one.

That's it, and a tael of silver.

She didn't feel that it was inappropriate for her to accept other people's things, and she didn't feel that she liked to take advantage of them. Just like generously accepting the money given by Brother Dong, people think that she and the children need it, and they have the ability to use it just right, so why should she refuse?

Loading high? Does it make sense?

"You can eat it if you want." Seeing that a few children obviously wanted to taste it, but none of them ate it in their mouths, he said.

Several children shook their heads together: "I have eaten enough just now, I can't eat anymore, I will eat when I am hungry." ”

"That old man just now, he seems to like you quite a lot." Hong Xiaoduo said casually.

She looked very closely, and after the old man came, his eyes never stopped, and his eyes were always on the seven of them, and when he looked at them, he also looked at them with a kind face, if he had the heart to adopt......
