The portrait is not a wanted notice posted at the entrance of the county office, which only draws a head, but a complete person, and even the patches on the clothes are drawn accurately.
But although Li Erlin could be sure that the person in the portrait was Caoya, Master Wang didn't seem to have asked one or two to confirm whether Caoya was the person in the portrait, so he sent them rice and grain, he felt that it was too dreamy.
Normally, shouldn't they first confirm the identity of the grass after seeing it, and then take care of the grass alone? There is no need to take care of them at all.
The rice grains that Master Wang gave them along the way, if they were only given to Caoya, let alone her, even if they added Peach Blossom and Zhaodi and the six children she picked up, they would be able to eat every meal.
Besides, aren't they worried about recognizing the wrong person?
Li Erlin had many questions, but he didn't dare to ask them, he had already mustered up the courage just to say goodbye to Master Wang, where did he dare to ask questions about the behavior of big people.
"Since we can't go with us tomorrow, I'm sorry for you to call this little girl over, and I'll talk to her for a few words." Master Wang said with a smile, his tone was not at all like a high-ranking big man, and he could be so kind to a mud leg.
Li Erlin was flattered, and hurriedly turned around and went back to find Caoya to tell her about it, Caoya was stunned, her heart was hot, and a hot current gushed out of her eyes.
She never expected that the Taoist would still be worried about her, and ask others to take care of her when they meet her.
I wanted to go over immediately to inquire about the safety of the Taoist, but as soon as I took two steps, I paused again, turned around and grabbed a few handfuls of water to wash my little hands and wipe my little face. The other party is a big person, and she is entrusted by the Taoist to take care of her, she has to clean up and look like a person.
The conditions are limited, and this is the only way, the set of clothes full of dust and patches on her body is already her best clothes, and her stiff hair cannot be washed.
I still went to see Mr. Wang with a dirty appearance, but Mr. Wang didn't mind, and looked this timid little girl up and down.
"Are you Li Xiaocao?"
Li Erlin, who followed over, was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Caoya nodding, he immediately reacted that this should be Caoya's pseudonym when she was in exile.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Master Wang ask: "But I heard everyone call you Caoya, are you called Li Xiaocao or Caoya?" ”
Li Erlin's heart tightened, isn't this the reason why Master Wang didn't first confirm whether Caoya was the person on the portrait? Will they be suspicious of the grass because the name doesn't match? Will you wonder why Caoya reported a fake name to the Taoist?
Thinking that they might pursue this issue, and thus possibly involve Caoya's crimes, Li Erlin felt that his legs were a little weak. But in order not to let others see the clues, he forced himself to be calm.
After Master Wang asked this question, Caoya's face instantly turned pale, and she was so flustered that she didn't know how to answer, so she could only be silent.
Seeing this, Master Wang already had a plan in his heart, "That's it, whether you are Li Xiaocao or Caoya, you always know Xizhu Daoist, right?" ”
Caoya nodded, and her voice was like a mosquito and a fly.
"Xizhu Dao is long in my great kindness, she entrusted me to take care of you if I can meet you, I thought that if I can really meet, I will accept you as my goddaughter, but now it seems that it is not appropriate. You can rest assured, since the Taoist chief has entrusted me to take care of you, I will not do ungrateful things, although I can't take you with me, but I can also let you have no worries about food and clothing. ”
After that, Master Wang glanced at Steward Wang, who understood, took out a wooden box from an ox cart, and came to the grass with both hands.
Caoya basically guessed what was in the box, shook her head but refused to accept it, "It is the Taoist who has a great kindness to the master, not me, I can't accept it." If the old man can give us rice and grain on the road, he will already take good care of us. ”
"If you give it to you, you will accept it, the old man doesn't like to owe favors." Master Wang's voice sank.
Cao Ya was frightened, quickly stretched out her hand, hesitated again before taking the wooden box, and glanced at Li Erlin. Li Erlin nodded slightly, Master Wang has said this, if the grass is not accepted, Master Wang is afraid that he will be angry.
They are going to settle in Yuezhou, and Master Wang is the elder brother of Yuezhou Taishou, so it's not a good life to dislike him, and it's still a question of whether he can settle down.
The moment she took the wooden box, the heavy weight made her hands fall down, and she almost planted her head forward without steady, but fortunately, Steward Wang helped her.
"Thank you!" Caoya thanked Steward Wang, and then thanked Master Wang, "Thank you, Master!" ”
"That's right." Only then did Master Wang laugh, "When you get to the place, and wait for a few days, I will arrange for you to settle down, you take these silver taels to buy a field, if there is a Zhuangzi, you might as well buy it at the right price." ”
Cao Ya pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer, but she also knew that she should be about to leave, so she hesitated and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Is the Taoist Commander okay?" ”
"I don't know, but the Taoist was still good when he rescued me, and after curing us, she didn't stay, and continued to go deeper into the epidemic area." Speaking of the back, Master Wang showed admiration and a little worried, and then said a word that might be comforting Caoya, or comforting himself, "Don't worry, Dao Changji is a celestial appearance, and it will definitely be fine." ”
Cao Ya nodded vigorously, "Dao Chang is very good, he will definitely be fine!" ”
"Alright, go back. Remember, money is not visible. ”
Caoya and Li Erlin left together, and after taking a few steps, she slowed down, walked behind Li Erlin, and then pulled Li Erlin's clothes, and shouted "Li Erbo" in a low voice.
Li Erlin stopped and turned his head, "What's wrong?" ”
Cao Ya said: "You can help me keep these silver taels, there are too many, I am afraid." ”
"I'm also afraid of ......" Li Erlin wanted to refuse, but seeing the pleading and fear on Caoya's face, he thought that they would have a few children, if someone really had bad intentions, not only would they not be able to protect the silver, but they might also be injured because of it, so he agreed.
It's not that he doesn't believe in the villagers in the team, he and Zhang Yu contacted to escape the famine together, and he must know their temperament, although there were differences on the way, and the differences are still there until now, but on the whole they are still reliable. But then again, the so-called reliability is based on the fact that everyone's family background is about the same, and when they saw Cao Ya coming to see Master Wang and going back with a box, he didn't know what would happen.
I'm most afraid that someone can't see that others are good, if it's just stealing, forget it, if there is a bad heart to go to the county government to report the grass, then the matter will be a big deal.
Seeing Li Erlin take the box in her hand, Caoya's hand suddenly lightened, and her heart relaxed.
