Chapter 324: Can't Wait
A big man was chopping firewood on the mountain, the firewood knife in his hand was steady and powerful, and a lot of them had been piled up on the ground, but he still had no intention of stopping.
Bai Shengping was wearing a shabby jacket, and it was really cold this winter. But he was still sweating profusely and full of energy, after all, he now had a home that he needed to work on.
Maybe it was better to live in the old man's house before than now, but every drop of sweat he sheds now is the smell of freedom.
The suffering and tiredness he is going through now are all proof of his running for his small family. And these bitter Bai lives do not resist, but enjoy it.
He believes that one day, the family will be able to live a good life, relying on their own hands and sweat.
He didn't know what happiness was better than he did now.
Bai Shengping took out the hemp rope and tied a bundle of firewood that seemed to be immovable. Then he tied the firewood knife around his waist, ran his hands through the rope on the firewood, and carried the bundle of firewood on his back with a sharp lift, as if he were carrying a mountain.
In the snowy mountains, he walked steadily, and he walked uprightly.
He and Wanwan still live in the post house with two sons, because his home is still missing Yunyan, so he can't leave for the time being.
Zhang Laohan of the post station also turned a blind eye, Wanwan's family has lived there for a few months, and it is nothing to stay for a while longer.
And the reason for Bai's life is that it is winter, and they can't find a place and food to spend the winter for a while, hoping that they can stay here and get through the most difficult days.
For this reason, he also went to ask Bai Yin once, Bai Yin was also scared of his revisit, and his liver was about to jump out, anyway, Zhang Laohan was now alone at the post station, and Bai Yin agreed to live in such a family.
It's just that Bai Yin ordered Wushen not to make trouble, especially not to go to Fengyue Tower again, last time Bai Sheng's life was thrown out and many people were passing it on, Bai Yin didn't want to know and there was no way.
As long as Bai Sheng is safe and stable, he will burn high incense.
Bai Shengping naturally knew that he didn't have the ability to take away Yunyan now, let alone show this in front of people, so he naturally had to keep to himself.
But he was thinking about being able to reunite with his daughter all the time, and the wound in his heart never healed.
Bai Shengping walked on the way back to the post station, which was far away from the town, and they lived here peacefully.
And after the confession came, he was doing all the rough work and tiring work, and the whole post station was properly cleaned up by him, which is also a point that Zhang Laohan is satisfied with.
As usual, the government will still send rations for Wanwan and the two children, and Bai Yin also specially asked people to send an extra one, in order to appease Bai Shengping, his hair is almost gray.
And Bai Shengping is not a person who eats white food, not only does the work in the post station be done, but also sends a copy of the firewood that is cut back every day to Bai Yin's family, and when he went on the first day, Bai Yin still looked strange, but he also accepted it silently.
Part of the remaining firewood will be kept at the post station for its own use, and part will be taken to the city for money.
In the past, Zhang Laohan usually did the work of chopping wood at the post station, after all, he also felt that Wanwan did a bit too much work. Now that he has Bai Shengbi, he is also happy to be idle with the small stove.
Only Zhang Laohan is in charge of the food sent by the government office, and it does not belong to the Bai Shengping family who is "in the establishment", and there is only life-saving food to ensure that he will not starve to death.
The rest of the part, it used to be good in summer and autumn, and wild vegetables could be dug out of the ground, but there was really no way to do it in winter.
Fortunately, Bai Shengping is back, otherwise Wanwan really doesn't know if she and the child can survive this winter.
Although the price of food in the city is extremely high now, it can still be bought, after all
Wine shops and restaurants in the city are also to be opened.
Relying on his tall physique, Bai Shengping was able to chop back a lot of firewood every time, and in addition to the daily rations, he could save some, which was an experience he had never had before.
Bai Shengping was already out of breath when he walked to the post station, but Wanwan was waiting for him at the door early, and now Wanwan had more smiles on her face, and she saw the hope for the future of this family.
Wanwan helped Bai Shengping unload the firewood, and the rice in the pot was already hot, just waiting for him to go home.
Bai Shengping devoured the rice mixed with chaff and was extremely satisfied, and the fatigue of the day disappeared like this.
Big rocks and small stones were playing in the snow outside, and he thought that it would be good that such days would not end.
After a short break, Bai Shengping was about to continue working, and he finished all the work at the post station first, which took more than an hour.
Then he divided the wood he had cut back into three parts, one of which was stacked in the firewood room. The other two are one large and one small, and the smaller one is given to Bai Yin's family.
In any case, Bai Shengping has to take care of others and call him a benefactor. In this world, people just say the past regardless of your life or death, Bai Yin took in Wanwan and his son to have a great favor with him, this is the only thing he can repay him.
And the other big one is the income from Bai's life today, which is how he can support his family.
There is no shortage of people in the big city who buy these firewood, and rich families and restaurants will use it.
He carried the big one behind his back and the small one on his chest. After saying goodbye to Wanwan and her two children, they walked to the market town first.
All the village affairs outside the city are under the control of the government of the market town, and Bai Yin's home is in the market town, and he wants to send this smaller firewood to Bai Yin first.
Walking to the market town, it was a little more lively, and there were generally no people at the post station, but Bai Shengping still hoped not to meet these people if he could.
"Stop playing, go home quickly, stay away from that person, he's a murderer!" When he walked to the market town, Bai Shengping saw a child playing in the snow, he stopped and looked, and his own children were as happy as ordinary children.
But then a woman dragged the child home, whispering the above words.
Along the way, he avoided more and saw him, lest he avoid it. Bai Shengping pretended not to see it, and walked towards Bai Yin's house without squinting.
He doesn't care about himself, he has been through so much, and idlers can't let him do anything.
But this is not a place where you can live and work in peace after all, even if Bai Yin doesn't drive him, he will leave here.
Eventually, his children will grow up and will not be able to stay in a small courtyard forever. They will go out and see the world and meet a lot of people.
But he couldn't, and as soon as they went out into the street, they were called the children of murderers.
Both big and small stones are sensible, but that's not a reason for them to bear this.
He took care of all the things alone.
He walked to Bai Yin's door, put down the firewood on his chest, and then knocked lightly on the door, and strode away when he heard the sound of someone moving in the yard.
He knew that although Bai Yin was tough, he was afraid of him, just like those people in the market town.
And Bai Sheng's life is also interesting, and he tries not to appear in front of him and his family.
And no one else will take the firewood on the ground, because no one will dare.
After a long time, Bai Yin's door slowly opened, and a head poked out from inside, it was Bai Yin's wife.
She was relieved to see that the footprints had gone away, after all, no
Someone is not afraid that a notorious murderer will knock on his door every day, even if he is only here to repay the favor.
It was already late when Bai Shengping walked to the gate of Shuocheng, and the gate would be closed and curfew in another hour.
Bai Sheng's day's work is almost at this point, and he has been coming here like this since he has lived in the post station for so long.
The two people guarding the city gate pretended not to see it when they saw that he was coming, after all, Bai Sheng's murderous reputation was outside. They also hope that this Lord can be born in peace, otherwise they have to let them desperately catch them.
Bai Sheng's pardon by Bai Boxian, the monarch of the White Kingdom, is now well known, and it was caused by the turmoil he caused in Fengyue Tower that night. Those who have seen him and those who have not seen him know that there is a ruthless man who came down from the battlefield and will not accept it.
Bai Shengping routinely went to several large courtyards and shops to ask, and there were many people like him who cut firewood to sell, so sometimes he needed to go to many houses.
However, firewood is a necessity, and the amount of heating needed in winter is even larger, and Bai Shengping sold out the firewood in just a few turns.
He tied hemp rope around his waist and went to find a grain shop where he could buy food. Although there is a famine in the whole country, most of the people who have no food are poor.
Wealthy families always have grain in their warehouses, and this grain is rarely circulated. However, food and land alone cannot meet the needs of these rich men, and they always have to exchange for some money to do things.
It's just that food is very expensive now, and Bai Shengping's firewood can only be satisfied.
After Bai Shengping finished selling firewood, he sat under a shop selling cakes and waited to get his cakes, and when he came out, the big stone and the small stone said that they wanted to eat sugar sesame cakes, although it was much more expensive than buying coarse grains, but Bai Shengping was not stingy.
Another reason why he came here is that he can see Fengyue Tower here, although he can only see a corner, but Bai Shengping can also feel much more at ease.
He could hear news from Yunyan from time to time, and he wanted to know if she was doing well.
He also wanted to see her, but neither the people of Fengyue Tower nor Bai Yin would allow him to do so. If he forcibly breaks in the last time, it will only affect his family.
He could only hold back for the time being, until the day when he could take Yunyan away. Only in this way can their family never be separated!
Bai Shengping drank all the hot water poured for him by the store, picked up the three wrapped cakes and prepared to go home. If you delay a little longer, you won't be able to get out of the city.
"Have you heard, a big man came from Baidu, saying that he came to take refuge. ”
Bai Shengping's ears were very pointed, and he could hear the words of the two passers-by clearly. The two men also came to the shop to eat bread, and at first glance they looked like porters who worked as coolies.
I heard that the front-line army was defeated and retreated to Baidu, and I don't know if this news is true or not, Bai Shengping can occasionally know the battle ahead, and I heard that Chen Guodu is about to capture Baidu.
"The big man heard that he had gone out from Shuocheng, and when he heard that there was going to be a war, he came back. ”
"Come back, come back, what does it have to do with us. The other porter took the bread and bit it.
"I heard that the big people in the city will hold a banquet in Fengyue Tower tomorrow to wash the dust for this person who came from Baidu, and I heard that I want to let Yunyan girl accompany me! There must be a lot of work at that time, and we can also get some work to do......
Bai Shengping clenched his fists and listened to the two of them talking, and said that the big people in the city would not fight, so he gave Yunyan to him.
Bai Shengping hurried out of the city, didn't he have to wait until Yunyan grew up after the New Year, he originally thought it would be another month or two......
He can't wait, he has to let Wanwan pack everything now, he must leave here with Yunyan tomorrow!
