Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 3 First Encounter 3
In the past two days, Xie Xian and Tu Zhen treated him gently and casually, and he gradually let go of the awe between master and servant in his heart. But now, seeing Xie Xian's indifferent look, he remembered that the woman in front of him was the queen of the second branch of the Xie family, and she was the one who treated her own maid casually. She was not a good person.
She took it swiftly and never looked back at the bamboo basket that was floating away.
Xie Xian stood barefoot on the rocks by the river, inserted the harpoon into the soft sand, untied the hem of her skirt, squinted her eyes and waited for the sun to dry it. She didn't want to step into the mud and get covered in fishy smell.
Tu Zhen stood behind her without her noticing, put the clogs at her feet, played with a dark blue dagger and asked nonchalantly, "Those people?"
Xie Xian squinted her eyes lazily: "They should be here soon." These people were really annoying. She was already impatient with them sending her heads flying. I wonder what new tricks they would use this time.
The dust was flying on the official road in the distance. Five red-clad soldiers were riding fast. Xie Xian was glad that she was standing upwind, otherwise she would be covered in dust. This was the bad thing about the dirt road in the countryside. Those who had horses were basically nobles or soldiers. Once they got on the official road, they liked to drive at high speed. The dust PM2.5 was seriously exceeded the standard. This was because there were few people. Even if she took the small road, she still ran into the armored soldiers. How annoying it was.
When Qingdai saw someone coming, she hurriedly looked for the hat. Seeing how anxious she looked, Xie Xian had no choice but to take it and put it loosely on her head.
"My wife hasn't washed up yet?" Xie Xian just remembered that the bronze mirror in the car was not clear, and she was too lazy to tie her hair. These days, she either tied it into a ponytail or let it down to save trouble. Tu Zhen also found a bun more convenient.
Xie Xian's hair was naturally curly like in her previous life, but different from her current long straight black hair, it seemed that her ancestors had Hu blood, which could not be seen on her face, but her long, thick and slightly curly hair took a lot of effort to take care of.
Fortunately, she had a cap on. Xie Xian turned sideways and glanced at the water's edge. "Trouble is coming."
The more he muttered, the more words came to his mind. The leading soldier saw someone by the water, looked at him from a distance, tilted his horse's head, looked at the ox cart a few times, and the knights behind him also stopped.
The young soldier had dark skin, sword-like eyebrows, sideburns, and a stubble under his lips. His long face made him look smart. I guess he has been traveling all year round. He looked directly at Xie Xian and asked, "I don't know which family this lady is from. Have you seen the baby by the water just now?"
The girl on the opposite side seemed not to hear anything. She waited for a long while before she stretched out a slender finger and pointed diagonally towards the stream. Everyone looked up and saw that the bamboo basket was spinning slowly a dozen feet downstream and was stuck on the sharp stone in the shallow water.
Before the young man with the mustache could make a move, a young man in white brocade clothes appeared behind the armored soldier and quickly jumped off his horse, shouting "Sister Cao'er, Sister Cao'er." Perhaps he forgot the height between the horse and the ground. If the knight behind him had not pulled him, he would have almost fallen to the ground with his face.
Xie Xian and the other two were busy with their own business. The man with a mustache and the four soldiers sat on their horses without moving, allowing the young man to wade through the water and fish out the bamboo basket with great effort.
The boy was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, with a childish face. At this moment, he was holding the baby girl in his arms and crying like an abandoned puppy.
He was thin and frail, and he was a child, so dragging the wet and heavy bamboo basket was even more difficult. It took him almost a cup of tea to move the distance of more than ten feet.
During this time, the mustache man and the soldiers around him did not help. They just dismounted, drank water, and took out the biscuits to eat. Qingdai stood by the pot boiling fish soup, and was stared at by several big men.
She was not afraid either, and said angrily: "That man has never seen food before, what is he looking at? This soup is the food of my Xie family." After saying that, she glared at him fiercely.
The men with mustaches looked at each other, and when they heard the word "Xie family", they retracted their gazes. This carriage frame was not something that ordinary people could afford. What frightened them the most was that there were only three people in the front and back of such a huge ox cart. They originally wanted to come over and get some fish soup, but now it seems that there is no share.
The man behind him was a little impatient when he saw that no one was moving. "Brother, didn't you say that?" Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by a thin man next to him and said, "Didn't you see that the leader didn't move? After saying that, he tilted his mouth towards the ox cart."
They all saw it. They originally thought that it was two women with a driver. If they wanted to take advantage of them, they could just bluff them. But when they got closer, they found that all three of them were women. Wouldn't that be even better? Seeing his expression, they knew what this brainless guy was thinking.
The thin man took off his bow and hung it on the horse's back, but stuck the dagger behind his waist. He slapped his face and turned it around: "If you want to die, don't drag us with you. Open your eyes wider. Can you walk alone without someone to rely on?"
The thin man's face was a little sallow, but his eyes were bright. One look at the three girls told him that he had to be more restrained today. "My goodness, the carriage is made of black wood, and it's not enough for us to buy." The soldier also obviously realized, "Is this... Chenliu Xie?"
Several people sighed. This kind of young lady from a rich family should not be touched. If she is scared or offended by words, the whole family may be in trouble. Seeing that the servants put away their thoughts, the man with a mustache was not in a hurry. He turned around and looked at the young boy who was still trying to move towards this side, with a look of pity on his face.
"Da Lang, why bother?" He really didn't want to take this job. But as a Pingcheng inspector, he had to give face to General Jin. But in his heart, he really didn't want to accept this trouble.
"I don't need you." The young boy obviously realized that he could not do anything by himself, but the anger in his heart was growing stronger and stronger. He was the legitimate son of the Jin family and the son of the governor of Pingcheng province. His father did not like him and his stepmother bullied him. The most infuriating thing was that the half-brother his stepmother brought into the house was not even a son of the Jin family, but he got the position of a general by relying on the influence of his stepmother.
At first, he was still talkative, but everything changed after his stepmother gave birth to his younger brother. He hated himself for not growing up yet, and even the old servant beside him was beaten to death. When he took the old servant's only granddaughter out, he was stopped and bullied by the dog thief Jin Cuo.
The soldier next to him saw that Jin Dalang was struggling and wanted to help, but was stopped by the thin man: "Don't meddle in other people's business. Have you forgotten what General Jin said?"
"That Cuo Erlang is really not a human being. This is the young master of the Jin family. How can we allow him to torture us like this?" The soldier muttered in dissatisfaction.
The thin man didn't think so: "You better stop talking. Jin Cuo is a ruthless man who can change his last name. No matter what, the Jin family is something you and I can talk about. Don't forget what happened to Old Yuan. Cuo Erlang is a man who doesn't hold back."
"I was so unlucky when I went out today. How could I have encountered such a thing for no reason? I have no choice but to ask for help. I feel so frustrated."
Today on the bridge, Cuo Erlang threw Jin Dalang's old maid off the bridge and told them to patrol the streets and if they came across them, it was the soldiers' duty to rescue people. However, with so many people watching on the street, Cuo Erlang ordered them not to help, otherwise he would get angry.
Several soldiers over there couldn't stand it and grumbled, but Tu Zhen in the carriage moved his ears and gave Xie Xian a live broadcast, "Interesting!" Xie Xian curled her lips, she didn't expect that she thought it was directed at her at first, but now she realized that she was not the protagonist.
The three girls were busy with their own things: "Miss, the little girl seems to have caught a cold." Qingdai frowned. After hearing about the Jin family, Tu Zhen did not stop her from helping. And the lady didn't say anything.
Qingdai ran around the baby, soaking pancakes in fish soup and changing diapers. The boy was polite but had a stern face. The boy was only ten years old, how could he take care of a baby? Only then did I realize that he had caught a cold. His face was so red that he even cried a lot weaker.
Xie Xian felt drowsy after basking in the sun, but was disturbed by the noise.
Qingdai frowned and muttered, "Oh no, this girl has a fever." She pretended to hug her, but Jin Dalang turned his body to the side. He and Cao'er depended on each other for survival, and now he was anxious when he saw her red face.
The man with the mustache frowned. The nearest town would take half a day to get there. He might not be able to wait that long. "Is there any itinerant doctor around here?" The man with the mustache murmured together.
Qingdai wanted to go forward to help but didn't dare to, because she had only been with her wife for a short time and her attitude was unclear.
Where can I find a doctor in this place where there is no village or shop nearby?
Seeing her looking over there eagerly, Xie Xian lowered the curtain and said, "It's time to go." Xie Xian was like this. In the steel forest of the city, everyone was a familiar stranger to each other. Some people said she was cold-blooded, but it was so difficult for a girl to survive in this world.
Upon hearing this, the man with the mustache and the young man looked gloomy for a moment. They both looked unhappy and they had no right to care about a noble lady passing by.
Tu Zhen looked up and said nothing. He put on the cart and packed up everything and prepared to set off. Qing Dai looked back every few steps, she really couldn't bear to see the tragedy happen. But she didn't dare to ask for help.
Everyone pouted.
"That girl is not a simple person. It won't be so easy if you ask her for something." The man with a mustache took two sips from the water bag and frowned as he saw the ox cart going away.
Seeing the others in a daze, the thin soldier curled his lips and said, "More than that, this guy is really hard-hearted. If you were sitting by the water, could you just watch this kid float away and do nothing?" The three people behind him suddenly realized.
"That girl looks weak, how can she be so cruel?" The two people behind echoed.
Jin Dalang frowned, and his expression changed. Just now, the maid came to help and thought it would be best to let the Xie family lady speak for herself, so that he could go with the flow and at least make Cao'er feel better. Now that he thought about it, he was afraid that his plan had been seen through.
He tightened his grip on the bamboo basket and bent down towards the man with a mustache: "Thank you for your help, soldier. But Cao'er can't wait much longer now. I can only ask the lady from the Xie family for a help." Everyone understood what he meant by asking. It seemed that he had to rely on himself.
The man with a mustache grinned and nodded. It was not that he looked down on Jin Dalang, but he was acting so arrogantly when asking others to do something for him. He would just hit a wall.
Xie Xian was less than a hundred meters away when she heard the sound of horse hooves from behind. Tu Zhen moved the ox cart aside, but she didn't expect that several people would block the way.
