Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat
Chapter 161
Hearing that Zhou Hang wanted to visit the weaving workshop at night, Daiyu hurriedly lifted the quilt, exposed her head, and said, "Take me!"
Before Zhou Hang said anything, Lin Ruhai coughed and drew the attention of the two of them.His attitude obviously did not agree with Daiyu's going.Daiyu sat up, looked at him, and said in a coquettish tone, "Daddy, let me go, my kung fu is no worse than Brother Hang, I will be very careful."
Lin Ruhai glanced at the two of them, and said in a firm tone, "Both of you, you are not allowed to go!"
One is his daughter, and the other is the current crown prince. He can't bear the consequences of any accident, okay?The same goes for these two children, relying on what kind of Taoism they have cultivated, they are better than ordinary people, and they are more ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and dare to go anywhere.Although this Qiu County is small, there are many places that are quite weird, what if the two of them encounter some evil spirits and crooked ways when they go out.According to what they said, something happened to the prince when he went hunting in the royal paddock last time. Since he was outside, he had to be more careful.Not to mention that if anything happened to Daiyu, his old bones would die.It's just that the crown prince has three advantages and two disadvantages, so the saint can't cut him off when he goes back?
"Daddy~" Daiyu slumped her shoulders and tilted her neck.
"It's useless to call him daddy." Lin Ruhai had a straight face and a very tough attitude.
Now that the three of them are under the same roof, it is impossible to sneak out even if they want to.Zhou Hang and Daiyu couldn't help but feel discouraged, especially Zhou Hang, he was full of plans to visit the workshop at night to find out the truth of the matter.
Lin Ruhai lay down, covered his chest with the quilt, and put his hands outside the quilt, overlapping on his lower abdomen.
"Go to sleep." He said to Daiyu and Zhou Hang.
Daiyu looked at Zhou Hang, pouted at him, then looked at Lin Ruhai, and asked tentatively, "Daddy, can we really not discuss it anymore?"
Lin Ruhai looked at her, and said ruthlessly, "Turn out the oil lamp."
The farmers live a frugal life, and they usually work from sunrise to sunday, and they will never use oil lamps unless it is an important day.After all, although lamp oil is worthless to them, it is already considered expensive to ordinary farmers.The family treated them as distinguished guests and gave them the only oil lamp in the house. They should also be grateful and not waste it too much.
Just as Dai Yu was about to get up to turn off the lights, Zhou Hang said, "I'll do it!"
After speaking, he quickly got up from the ground, turned off the light, then quickly lay down again, and pulled the quilt over his body.Although it's not yet winter, the sky is already quite cool, if Daiyu gets up and turns off the lights and tosses back and forth, she will inevitably dissipate the heat that has just been warmed up in the bed, he can't bear it.
There was no moon on this day, and when the lights went out, the room was dark.Xu was thinking about what Zhou Hang said earlier about visiting the weaving workshop at night, the more Daiyu thought about it, the more energetic she became, and she didn't even feel sleepy.When I can’t sleep, I’m easy to think about a lot of things while lying on the bed. I can’t help but think of myself being served by gold slaves and silver servants in a small high bed. The crib creaked after turning over.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ruhai seemed to be falling asleep when he heard that Lin Ruhai was breathing evenly.
Daiyu kept the same posture, feeling that her body was a little numb, she wanted to turn sideways, but just as she moved, the bed creaked and tilted up again, afraid of waking Lin Ruhai, she turned halfway over and stopped abruptly.
"Yu'er, haven't you slept yet?" Zhou Hang's voice came, because it was deliberately lowered, so it was hoarse with some air friction.
"You haven't slept yet?" Daiyu also asked in a low voice.
But when Lin Ruhai turned over and coughed lowly, the two of them fell silent.Daiyu simply covered her head with the quilt, only feeling her heart pounding, like being caught for making a mistake when she was a child.Listen carefully again, Lin Ruhai's breathing is still long and even, he doesn't seem to be awake, could it be that Dad didn't wake up just now, but just coughed with a scratchy throat in his sleep?If that's the case, why is it when she was talking to Brother Hang again...
Her mind was in a mess, she simply shook her head, thinking about it, going to sleep...
As soon as she closed her eyes, a soft sense of consciousness came over her face, she subconsciously released her sense of consciousness to entangle with the other party, only to feel warmly wrapped by the other party.It made her breathe faster and her heart beat faster.After a while, she felt that it was too hot to bury her head in the quilt, and she was sweating a little.Just as she got her head out of the quilt, when she raised her eyes and saw two green lights staring at her, she couldn't help being startled.Taking a closer look, it was Zhou Hang who was looking at him, his eyes seemed to glow in the dark.
No wonder, he is a cat, Daiyu thought.
With Daddy these days, he has never turned into a cat, and she almost forgot about it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of his fluffy touch again, and she wanted to turn him into a big golden cat again.He was the most mighty when he became a giant cat, more mighty than a tiger, and his golden hair was more comfortable to the touch than the finest silk.Thinking of the few days when she first came out to look for her father, she was very tired every day, and she was frightened. Although she was very sleepy, she couldn't sleep well. He turned into a giant cat and let her sleep on his soft belly, and she could sleep soundly every time. very good.The feeling of being surrounded by warmth has never been experienced for many years except lying in the arms of the mother when I was a child.
Much more comfortable than this hard plank bed, she thought.
It was only when Zhou Hang became a cat that she dared to get close to him like that. When she was a human, she always remembered whether a man and a woman should be close or not. Although they were not very distant, she did not dare to get close to him wantonly.If she was in human form, she would also wantonly get close to Zhou Hang. After all, her hands are all young men and women. What has become of her, and what has become of Zhou Hang?This can be said to be her bottom line.
It was ridiculous to say this, but she just felt that this was the only way to not tarnish her friendship with Zhou Hang.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep without knowing it.
That night, Daiyu slept soundly, and when she opened her eyes she was the only one left in the room.The window was supported by a bamboo pole, most of it was opened, and one could see the bright sunshine outside at a glance, it was a sunny day.The farmer's woman and her daughter-in-law are drying the clothes they just like. The farmer's old man and his son are cleaning and cleaning the farm tools, while two children sit on the ground and play with the soil.Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang were also sitting on the side, chatting back and forth with the old man and his son.
Daiyu turned over and sat up with a smile, and saw Zhou Hang standing by the door panting.
"You woke up, how did you sleep?" he asked.
Daiyu put her legs on the side of the bed, and when she looked down for her shoes, Zhou Hang had already walked up to her.
Daiyu asked: "I saw you outside just now, why did you come here all of a sudden?" While speaking, he reached out to get a shoe to put on, when Zhou Hang half-kneeled on the ground very naturally, holding a shoe in his hand Here, as if to wear it for her.Daiyu was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her feet back to the bed, subconsciously glanced at Lin Ruhai who was still talking and laughing outside, and turned her head back hurriedly, as if she was afraid that Lin Ruhai would see her.
"What are you doing, get up quickly!" She clasped her hands tightly and said anxiously.
Zhou Hang knew that Daiyu couldn't accept him doing this for her.He could see it, thinking that it was still early, and there would be a day when she could accept it calmly.Therefore, he didn't feel any discomfort or embarrassment at all after being touched by Daiyu. He stood up and said with a smile: "I'm outside, and when I heard the creak of the bed, I knew you must be awake, so come here." have a look."
Daiyu didn't answer, and put on the shoes by herself.
"Did you not sleep cold last night?" He asked again.
Daiyu shook her head carelessly and said, "It's not cold." She straightened her clothes and went out.Zhou Hang followed her slowly, seeing him walking around the yard, he first said hello to the farmer's family, and then greeted Lin Ruhai.
Zhou Hang walked over and said, "Uncle, my little brother must be hungry, I'll take her to eat something."
Since he is pretending to be Lin Ruhai's nephew, people should call Lin Ruhai his uncle.Lin Daiyu is now dressed as a boy, so she is called my younger brother.
Lin Ruhai nodded, and then he took Daiyu's wrist and went to the kitchen.
On the way, Daiyu asked, "Have you all eaten?"
Zhou Hang said: "The old grandma cooked a pot of porridge before dawn. Whoever gets up first will eat it first. Everyone has used it."
I went to the kitchen and saw that there was still half a pot of porridge left. Although it was on the stove, the fire of the stove had been extinguished long ago, and the porridge was not hot at all.Zhou Hang showed Daiyu, put the lid on the pot again, turned around and closed the kitchen door, took out a plate of cut fruits of various colors from the space, and said, "Yu'er, you can eat this."
Daiyu looked at the pot and asked, "Do they usually eat this?"
After seeing the barrenness of Orion's family, she was already surprised when she saw the food in the farmer's house.But, she thought, the hunters had no food because they were too old to hunt. The farmers had at least a few acres of land, so the situation should be better.She originally thought that people who were so poor and embarrassed should be an exception, and most people could at least have enough food and clothing.Who would have thought that after losing one, they would encounter another who was not full enough to eat and not warm.
Zhou Hangdao: "It's winter now, during the slack season, so you don't need to make a lot of effort. Farmers' homes usually eat porridge in the morning. I heard from my grandfather that last night was also because of hospitality, so I had white flour steamed buns and fried vegetables. They usually only eat corn-bread at night. This porridge is the same today. They always eat the thin one on top, and specially leave the thick one for us to eat. Yu’er, you don’t have to eat it if you don’t like it. There are chopped fruits here. You eat here and no one outside sees it."
Daiyu glanced at him and said, "I'm so delicate, hiding here and eating alone?"
While talking, he didn't look at the plate of fruit that Zhou Hang was holding, walked over and filled half a bowl of porridge, and ate it with his hands.Zhou Hang hurriedly took the fruit back, snatched the bowl from Daiyu's hand, and said, "You can eat this if you want, at least you can eat it after I warm it up. It's winter, and it'll be cold to your stomach in a while!" Fortunately, he snatched it. In time, I took a few sips.
Daiyu raised her head and said, "If you all eat cold, I can too."
Zhou Hang: "It wasn't cold when we ate it."
While speaking, she had already poured the porridge into the pot, and squatted in front of the stove trying to light a fire, but after half a day it didn't start, instead her face was covered in ashes, Daiyu couldn't help laughing.After the peasant woman had finished drying her clothes, she saw thick smoke coming out of the kitchen, so she ran over to look at it, laughed too, urged Zhou Hang to get up, and said, "How can you do this, get up and let me do it." Then she called out, "Huzi, Huzi, come quickly, take your two elder brothers out to play for a while!"
Huzi is the grandson of the peasant woman, only five years old.Hearing this, she ran over to pull Daiyu's sleeve, and the peasant woman also urged: "Go out first, I will call you when the porridge is warmed."
Lin Ruhai has already asked the old man about the weaving workshop in the nearby village.
The old man was talking with gusto: "We don't know too well, we only know that Mr. Wu, the owner behind the village, is very powerful. A few years ago they recruited female weaving workers, and the wages were high, but there was one thing. The past five years were sold to them, and they were not allowed to see their family members, nor to go out, and the wages they earned were not allowed to be leaked outside, saying that they would be released after five years. My daughter-in-law’s fabrics were praised by neighbors far and near, At that time, I was also moved, but when I heard this, I didn’t go. Afterwards, life was really difficult, and I wanted to go, but they refused to take it.”
Lin Ruhai said: "Does the old man know where all the cloth they weave is sold?"
The old man frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "When you say it, I also find it strange, and I have never seen them sell cloth outside."
Daiyu listened for a while, then asked: "Grandpa, has anyone disappeared in your village?"
The old man thought for a while and said: "The year before last, the son of Li Ergou's family disappeared. He was neither alive nor dead, and there is no news about it until now..." He was startled suddenly, looked at Daiyu, Looking at Lin Ruhai again, "Why are you asking this?"
Lin Ruhai twirled his beard, beckoned Daiyu to his side, and said calmly: "He is a child who is curious about everything he sees. On the way here, I heard someone say something about missing people, so I remembered it in my heart. Ask everywhere."
The old man also put it aside and didn't ask any more questions.He looked at Lin Ruhai again, and saw that his manner was gentle, not like a businessman, but like a scholar.He has seen businessmen, he has seen those who sell eggs, sugar and rice, butchers and butchers, and even the rich man who runs a restaurant or a silk shop in the county town, and he is not as generous as the gentleman in front of him.He thought, even if this gentleman is a businessman, he must be different from those ordinary businessmen. Look at the materials he is wearing, which may not be found in the largest clothing store in the county.He guessed that Lin Ruhai must be a big businessman from some big place, and he had seen a lot of world experience.
but……
After thinking about it, he still couldn't help persuading him: "Old man, let me say something more. If you make a mistake, don't worry about it, sir."
Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, and said in a very humble tone: "If you have any old people, you can just say it straight, and the old man will listen to it."
The old man said: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. If you sell fabrics, sir, you might as well go to other places to look. Why just focus on this place. You don't know that the people in their village are ruthless. Make friends with the magistrate of the county, if you go to provoke them, if you suffer, there is no way to justify it."
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, old man. We were passing by and saw a weaving workshop here, so we wanted to buy some. They won't sell it, so we can't force it, right?"
The old man said: "It's good that sir understands."
For a while, the peasant woman heated up the porridge, served it to Daiyu.Daiyu thanked her and accepted it with a smile.When she ate porridge at home, she always used a spoon, but there was no spoon here, and the peasant woman handed her chopsticks made of unknown wood.These chopsticks don't seem to be bought, because some places are not cut neatly, and the thickness is uneven, Daiyu thinks that they should be made by others.This even more shows the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the farmer's family. Not only did Daiyu not dislike it, but she felt very fresh looking at the chopsticks.
Seeing that Daiyu was only staring at the chopsticks, the peasant woman said, "Why, are they dirty? I'll change a pair for my brother."
As she spoke, she reached for the chopsticks in Daiyu's hands, and Daiyu hurriedly said: "Grandma misunderstood, it's not that I dislike dirty, it's just that the chopsticks are made of a unique style, I wonder what kind of wood they are made of."
The peasant woman laughed loudly, and pointed to a very tall tree in the yard and said, "Did you see that poplar tree? It's made of branches from that tree."
"Is that the poplar tree?" Daiyu looked at it and asked.
"Brother doesn't recognize poplar?" The peasant woman was very surprised. Poplar is the most common tree, and many fields and villages are planted there.It is in the city. Unless you have never been out of the house, poplar trees are common.
Daiyu shook her head, and whispered: "I saw it written on the tree." She usually sees some strange flowers and plants, even when she goes out, she sees many trees and can't remember them one by one. Ask what the tree is called What kind of tree is that.Her impression of poplar is what is written in the book: tall, straight, straight trunk, leaves as big as a child's palm, crown with high momentum, and the wind rustling.I really can't figure out what the poplar tree is like, but I saw it today.
The peasant woman couldn't help laughing and said: "My brother is really a young man who studies, and he will be the number one in the exam in the future."
So she told Daiyu that no matter what kind of tree it is, every spring, it will inevitably grow many new branches.Too many branches will affect the growth of the tree. Only by cutting off the lower branches can the tree grow tall and strong.For example, this poplar tree is so tall and straight, that is why its branches are pruned every year. If it is allowed to grow by itself, where can we get such a towering giant tree.The chopsticks they use are made from the unwanted branches of poplar trees.
Daiyu felt that what the peasant woman said made sense. Isn't that the reason why parents in a family should educate their children?Not to mention this, the way officials govern the place, and the methods and methods used by officials and officials come from this simple truth?
What more to say, the peasant woman said with a smile: "Brother, eat the porridge, it will be cold in a while."
If it was really cold, it would be a disappointment to others.Thinking about it, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "You are busy, don't worry about me, I can clean the dishes myself."
Zhou Hang couldn't bear to wash the dishes with Daiyu's tender hands, especially since it was winter and the water was very cold.Therefore, as soon as Daiyu finished eating, he grabbed her bowl and said, "You don't know how to wash dishes, let me do it."
The peasant woman and her daughter-in-law were grinding noodles in the yard. Seeing this, they couldn't help laughing and said, "This brother really loves my brother."
Zhou Hang went to wash the dishes, and Daiyu played with the two older children at home.Huzi's older sister is called Sister Yun, and the younger one has not yet been named, so the family calls her Second Sister.Sister Yun was very timid, and Daiyu called her several times, but she was too timid to go over, so Daiyu took out her purse to coax her, and she walked over in small steps, looking at the colorful and beautiful red envelopes, He didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.Daiyu had no choice but to give it to her, and she held the purse in her hand before smiling slightly.
But Hu Zi dodged the purse and said loudly: "Don't take things from my little brother!"
Sister Yun burst into tears with a "wow".
Looking at the purse in her hand that was stuffed back by the tiger, Daiyu felt guilty that she made the little girl cry.She hurriedly put the purse into Sister Yun's hand again, and while stroking Sister Yun's head to comfort her, she said to Huzi, "It's okay, what brother gave to Sister Yun is Sister Yun's stuff, she didn't steal it from her brother." In desperation, she didn't feel awkward even calling herself brother.
Seeing his sister crying suddenly, Huzi was also a little frightened, and his words were filled with tears.
"Father said, you can't just take things from people..."
With great difficulty, Daiyu coaxed Sister Yun from crying, and said to Huzi, "Huzi is really a good boy, but this is a cousin gift from my brother, and you can ask for it. You always have to give a watch when you meet each other for the first time. Don’t want to make the person who gave the gift unhappy, if you don’t believe me ask your mother and grandma.”
Such a big movement here has already alarmed the peasant woman and her daughter-in-law, and they have already come over now.
Hu Zi looked up, just in time to see his mother and grandma, staring at them with tears in their eyes.
The peasant woman looked at Daiyu with a stiff smile on her face and rubbed her hands helplessly. "Brother, this meeting gift is too expensive, and it will spoil her." She said.
Daiyu said: "It's just an ordinary purse. It's not a good thing. It's just for this little sister to play with. If you think the gift is too thin..."
Before she finished speaking, the peasant woman said: "Brother, what are you talking about! We farmers have never seen such a delicate thing. If it is thin, what is thick? Brother, we will accept it with your heart." yes."
Only then did Huzi smile again.
Even if it is a show gift, it would not be appropriate to only give it to sister Yun, so Daiyu took out two purses, one for the tiger's son and one for the second sister.These purses of hers were originally left over from people who rewarded people during the New Year's festival, and each contained two small gold coins, which were worth a few taels in silver, which can be regarded as an indirect donation.Seeing this, Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang also gave gifts. Although the things are not very expensive, they are also very valuable to the peasant family. As long as the family is willing to work hard in the future, it will be enough for them to buy some property and live comfortably. .This can be regarded as a nuisance, and they are warmly entertained in return.
Lin Ruhai and the others left that day and found an inn in Qiu County to stay.
Although the matter has not been investigated clearly, Lin Ruhai thinks it is best to put aside the matter here and go back to Shan County.After all, they have no foundation here, and it is not convenient for them to reveal their identities and mobilize soldiers, but Shan County has King Jing's influence, so they can mobilize at will.What's more, he was attacked and disappeared in Shan County. How could those people think that he would eventually go to Qiu County? They don't know how to find him in the huge forest at this moment.Another point is that there were also living dead among those who attacked him, that is to say, there were also living dead in Shan County, and there were even more.The last point is that when Daiyu and Zhou Hang came, they didn't bring any guards with them. According to Zhou Hang, he also managed to get rid of those hidden guards.What if something happens to this?
Zhou Hang felt that it would not be too late to go back to Shan County after clarifying the matter of Qiu County first. Besides, if the matter of Qiu County was clear, maybe the matter of Lin Ruhai's attack would also be clear.
Daiyu also agreed with Zhou Hang's point of view.
Lin Ruhai snorted, a little annoyed, this daughter of hers really turned towards outsiders.
What Zhou Hang said is very reasonable. If he was here by himself, he would probably do the same. The problem is that the two children follow him. He doesn't think about his own safety, but also theirs.
In the end, he still didn't win over the two children and agreed with them to figure it out before leaving.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai was not very happy, Daiyu went up and grabbed his arm and said, "What does daddy want to eat tonight, my daughter told the shopkeeper and let them do it."
No matter how angry Lin Ruhai was, she was suffocated by her acting coquettishly. She couldn't help laughing and said: "You treat this as if you are at home, and let people make whatever you want to eat? This kind of small shop just doesn't make people hungry. .”
The small shop he was talking about was the most luxurious and expensive inn in Qiu County.
Daiyu and Zhou Hang knew that he hadn't let go of his anger yet, they looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Dinner is a plate of buns, a plate of vegetarian fried vegetables, two kinds of dim sum, and a pot of white fungus and millet porridge. The staple food is steamed buns, which is also considered rich.After the meal, they agreed to divide into two shifts tomorrow to go to the east and west of the city to inquire about news, and to write down what was useful, and if the county magistrate had anything to do with the common people, they would also write it down and deal with it together in the future.
Classes are divided like this, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu are in one class, Zhou Hang and Big Black Cat Yuball are in one class.
This method of division made Zhou Hang quite depressed, but there was nothing he could do.He wanted to be in the same class as Daiyu, but Lin Ruhai would not agree.Besides, Daiyu also agreed with such a division. Lin Ruhai doesn't know martial arts, so Daiyu can protect him in any danger.
Lin Ruhai said: "Although we won't go back for the time being, we still have to send a letter to Shan County to report that Prince Jing's people are safe, so that they can have peace of mind."
Speaking of this, Zhou Hang asked: "My lord, you came back from Shan County, do you know how the emperor's uncle's investigation of the robbery of food and grass is going? Also, has the cousin been found?"
Lin Ruhai said: "I haven't seen Prince Jing. I heard from the people under him that there is some clue about the robbing of food and grass. However, the whereabouts of the son is still unknown, and his life and death are still unknown... However, no news is sometimes good news. There really is a problem, the corpse should have been found a long time ago, and now it’s a good thing to be alive. I heard that Mr. Sang has mobilized all his strength to find it..."
He is willing to mobilize all his strength...
Zhou Hang thought, as long as his cousin is still alive, he will be able to find him sooner or later.
How to send the letter is a problem, I can't send the fish ball back.That is, it can send letters. Who would pay attention to a cat?It would be nice not to take it as a prank.In ancient times, it was difficult to send letters, and most of them asked fellow villagers to deliver letters from home, or found someone to give him a lot of money, and asked him to make a special trip.These two methods are not suitable in this situation, because the security cannot be guaranteed.After much deliberation, the court station is still the most efficient and accurate.
In order to facilitate the transmission of military information and local government affairs, the imperial court will set up post stations every [-] miles on the pipeline.There is a post station on the pipeline not far from Qiu County. If it is normal, it is just a matter of sending a letter, which is a piece of cake.But now that it is inconvenient for them to reveal their identities, it is a bit difficult.
"Didn't Daddy bring an official seal?" Daiyu asked, "Isn't it easy to use Daddy's official seal to pass a letter to the post?"
Simple is simple, Lin Ruhai said: "Since then, our identities have been exposed."
Daiyu sighed, and thought to herself, father's official seal cannot be used, and brother Hang's seal is even more unusable.In this way, there is only one way.She raised her head and said, "Brother Hang, go to the post station tomorrow, give them some money, and ask them to help deliver a letter, is it okay? Besides, you are not sending letters to ordinary people's homes, but to The General's Mansion in Shan County is not counted as their extravagant delivery of private letters."
Because Shan County is an important grain and grass transshipment point leading to the border, it has a garrison and a general's mansion. Its status is not comparable to that of a small and remote county like Qiu County.
Zhou Hang nodded and said, "This method may work."
After the discussion has been made, several people are ready to go back to their room to rest.Although the inn is not very big, because there are not many guests, the rooms are sufficient.There are three rooms in the upper room, and Lin Ruhai and the others cover them all.Among the three connected rooms, Daiyu lives in the east, Zhou Hang lives in the west, and Lin Ruhai lives in the middle.
On purpose, his future father-in-law definitely thinks it was on purpose!
Zhou Hang walked west angrily, wanting to turn around and say to Lin Ruhai: Are you so interesting?However, he dared not.At that time, Lin Ruhai replied with an interesting sentence, I just separated you two on purpose, didn't my daughter obediently listen to my arrangement, and you have the ability to make Daiyu propose that you can't live in that room.Isn't he even more aggrieved and depressed?
Oh, I really wish that the days would pass quickly, I really wish that Daiyu was sixteen or seventeen years old now, and he could marry someone back home right now.This is sad, he can only think about it, he doesn't dare to offend his future father-in-law very much now, if his future father-in-law gets angry and wants to keep Daiyu until 20 years old, he must be depressed and vomit blood!
Seeing Zhou Hang's lonely figure walking slowly into the house, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel good.
Boy, do you still want to steal my daughter from me?
Early the next morning, Zhou Hang set off for the post station.Although there is an extra task of delivering the letter, the original matter cannot be delayed, so he has to hurry up.He didn't take the fish balls away, but left them for Daiyu.Daiyu asked Yu Wan to go to the county magistrate's house to keep an eye on Mr. Wu, the great squire, and to report back whenever there was anything.
Daiyu and Lin Ruhai walked around the streets and inquired about many unconscionable things done by the county magistrate and Mr. Wu, and wrote them down in the notebook when no one was there.They asked everyone they met, and soon some ruffians were alarmed, and they reported the matter to the yamen. After a while, five or six rough men in yamen clothes came over viciously with big wooden sticks, and the gathered people scattered like birds and beasts. open.
One of the little ruffians nodded and bowed to meet him, and said with a flattering smile: "Masters, it's the two of them who slandered the Grand Master!"
Daiyu saw those yamen servants, all of them with shy bellies and heads up, fat heads and big ears, walking like uncles. They didn't look like officials. At first glance, they were used to bullying and oppressing people. They were like bandits, so they couldn't help but despise them. , I didn't even bother to look at them.
"You guys have the guts to speak ill of the old man behind your back!" The one who walked in the front had a scar on his face, which was long and shocking. He squinted his eyes and said arrogantly.That emphasis, at first glance, is a habit of putting on airs on weekdays, which is very disgusting.
Daiyu glanced at him and snorted contemptuously.
This annoyed the man, he threw the wooden stick and shouted: "Brothers, teach me a lesson for this little boy!"
All the yamen servants rushed forward to beat him, but Daiyu stepped in front of Lin Ruhai, her hands full of luck.Seeing that someone was going to beat his daughter, Lin Ruhai's first reaction was to pull her back. How could he remember that his daughter has skills, and these reckless men can't do anything to her?
It doesn't matter if he pulls it, Daiyu has lost most of her luck, she didn't get hit by a stick, she was pulled behind by Lin Ruhai.The stick actually hit Lin Ruhai's body, and he groaned and fell down.
It was a coincidence that the blow hit the back of the head, and Lin Ruhai fainted immediately.
Daiyu didn't react for a while, she was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Lin Ruhai fainted on the ground with a puddle of blood under her head, she couldn't help being furious, her eyes were red, and she looked at those yamen servants like knives. of.
"Look, die!" She burst out two words through her teeth.
As he spoke, he gathered his whole body's true energy into his palms, and a sudden gust of wind blew up, sending sand and stones flying.She was really murderous, these people touched her scales, and she wanted them to pay with their lives!Seeing that the true energy turned into thousands of sharp knives in her palm, she was about to send it out when suddenly a powerful force struck, wanting to stun those yamen servants in one step.
Qiu County, who can have such a skill...
"Brother Hang..." Seeing Zhou Hang standing in front of him, Daiyu couldn't control the tears welling up in her eyes for some reason, "Daddy, Daddy knocked them out..."
Zhou Hang hurriedly helped Lin Ruhai up, and fed him a pill. In this way, although Lin Ruhai was still awake, there would be no serious problems. "Yu'er, don't cry, I will vent your anger and revenge for you." Looking at Daiyu, he said, "It would be cheaper for them to just let them die, Yu'er, you can see clearly, when dealing with this kind of people, you should let them live Better to die..."
As he said that, he threw a few talismans outside, and the yamen servant who was stunned by Zhou Hang just now and the little hooligan who led the way woke up again, but rolled on the ground with their heads in their arms.
This one said: "It hurts so much, I don't want to live anymore..."
That one said: "Ah, ah, forgive me, I didn't kill you, don't come and eat me, ah, don't bite me, don't eat my flesh." While saying that, he rolled around on the ground, looking extremely painful, His bare skin seemed to have been bitten and cut, and blood was bleeding in many places.
Daiyu didn't know when Zhou Hang made such a powerful talisman, it was just right to deal with these people.
The worst thing was the one who hit Lin Ruhai with a stick before, and saw him scratching his face frantically, his face was completely tattered by his scratching.
Zhou Hang carried Lin Ruhai on his back, intending to pull Lin Daiyu away, and these people would only suffer worse. They would keep scratching and scratching at themselves, and even kill each other. He didn't want Daiyu to have such a tragic scene. see.
Unexpectedly, the people who had just dispersed at this time swarmed up, calling Zhou Hang a "fairy", and wanted to drag him to show them the house and Feng Shui.Zhou Hang didn't forget how far those yamen servants hid from Daiyu when they bullied Daiyu, as if they were afraid of getting involved, but now they all came together.Not to mention that he still has his future father-in-law on his back, and he doesn't know how to read Feng Shui, even if he knows how to read it, he is not willing to show it to them.
Daiyu looked at the group of people blocking the way, frowned and said, "Please step aside and let us pass."
Those people just took half a step back, blocking the road, Zhou Hang said with a straight face: "Why, you want to taste them too?" The people he was talking about were naturally those people rolling on the ground.The people were also people who had seen Zhou Hang's methods, so they didn't dare to say anything, they scattered in fright, faster than when Fang Qian saw the yamen servant.
Zhou Hang returned to the inn with Lin Ruhai on his back, entered the space, took a dip in the Lingquan water, and Lin Ruhai woke up after a while.The first sentence was Daiyu, and Daiyu hurriedly said, "Daddy, I'm here."
The second sentence is: "Yu'er, are you hurt?"
Daiyu said: "Thank you daddy for protecting me, my daughter is fine and not hurt."
Lin Ruhai was relieved now, and asked how the matter was handled in the end.Zhou Hang then talked about how to punish those yamen servants, Lin Ruhai said: "It's good to teach them a lesson. What kind of yamen servants are they, what grade are they, and they have such a big style? The imperial guards in front of the saint are not as big as them. !"
He asked again, "When will your talisman expire?"
Zhou Hang smiled: "Ineffective? It's hard to say. When they can't toss and die from exhaustion, or catch themselves to death, they will be invalid."
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning.
Zhou Hang put away his smile, and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, do you think I'm being serious?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and said, "Actually, it's not a pity for these people to die..."
Zhou Hang felt relieved.I heard him say again: "Although I don't know what kind of Taoism you are practicing, I have heard that people who practice Taoism have karma in the end. If you killed those people for nothing, will it hinder your future?"
It turned out that the future father-in-law was worried about this, so Zhou Hang felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't worry. Those people are capable of rampaging and tyrannizing the common people, and the sins they committed cannot be redeemed even if they die ten or eight times. I killed them. It is to eliminate harm for the people, and it is a piece of merit, which is beneficial to practice.”
Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a saying?"
Zhou Hang nodded.Lin Ruhai secretly thought, wouldn't it be good if the prince and his daughter deal with the most vicious people in the future?But he changed his mind and got rid of this idea from his mind, it was not appropriate, so it turned out that he used the dignified prince as an executioner?Even Daiyu, even with all kinds of benefits, can't let her hands be stained with blood.
If something like this happens, this inn will no longer be available.
This is, the fish ball is back, bringing back an important news.
The author has something to say:
The author made up his mind to update [-] a day this month, but after just two days, he started to have diarrhea again.
It’s so painful, so helpless. I’ve been in poor health for the past two years. Although I haven’t had any major illnesses, I’ve had minor illnesses. After appendicitis surgery two months ago, I managed to gain weight. The author has had diarrhea these days and lost weight again up.Maybe some girls think it's good to lose two catties, but you have to understand the heart of a thin person who wants to gain weight.I have lived for more than 20 years, and my weight has never exceeded 90 catties. Now it is only a little over 80 catties. No matter how thin I feel, there is no one. (I am 1.6 meters tall, and it should be just right to eat more than 90 catties)
I always thought maybe it would be better to eat a little fatter, but...
In the past two years, I have been really sick, either with a cold or stomach upset, or with diarrhea.My mother said that if it is not good tonight, she will take me to hang a hanging bottle tomorrow. If that is the case, it may be even worse tomorrow.
That, it's a bit messy, just to say it casually, this month can be updated every day as much as possible, and if it doesn't, please forgive me.
Before Zhou Hang said anything, Lin Ruhai coughed and drew the attention of the two of them.His attitude obviously did not agree with Daiyu's going.Daiyu sat up, looked at him, and said in a coquettish tone, "Daddy, let me go, my kung fu is no worse than Brother Hang, I will be very careful."
Lin Ruhai glanced at the two of them, and said in a firm tone, "Both of you, you are not allowed to go!"
One is his daughter, and the other is the current crown prince. He can't bear the consequences of any accident, okay?The same goes for these two children, relying on what kind of Taoism they have cultivated, they are better than ordinary people, and they are more ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and dare to go anywhere.Although this Qiu County is small, there are many places that are quite weird, what if the two of them encounter some evil spirits and crooked ways when they go out.According to what they said, something happened to the prince when he went hunting in the royal paddock last time. Since he was outside, he had to be more careful.Not to mention that if anything happened to Daiyu, his old bones would die.It's just that the crown prince has three advantages and two disadvantages, so the saint can't cut him off when he goes back?
"Daddy~" Daiyu slumped her shoulders and tilted her neck.
"It's useless to call him daddy." Lin Ruhai had a straight face and a very tough attitude.
Now that the three of them are under the same roof, it is impossible to sneak out even if they want to.Zhou Hang and Daiyu couldn't help but feel discouraged, especially Zhou Hang, he was full of plans to visit the workshop at night to find out the truth of the matter.
Lin Ruhai lay down, covered his chest with the quilt, and put his hands outside the quilt, overlapping on his lower abdomen.
"Go to sleep." He said to Daiyu and Zhou Hang.
Daiyu looked at Zhou Hang, pouted at him, then looked at Lin Ruhai, and asked tentatively, "Daddy, can we really not discuss it anymore?"
Lin Ruhai looked at her, and said ruthlessly, "Turn out the oil lamp."
The farmers live a frugal life, and they usually work from sunrise to sunday, and they will never use oil lamps unless it is an important day.After all, although lamp oil is worthless to them, it is already considered expensive to ordinary farmers.The family treated them as distinguished guests and gave them the only oil lamp in the house. They should also be grateful and not waste it too much.
Just as Dai Yu was about to get up to turn off the lights, Zhou Hang said, "I'll do it!"
After speaking, he quickly got up from the ground, turned off the light, then quickly lay down again, and pulled the quilt over his body.Although it's not yet winter, the sky is already quite cool, if Daiyu gets up and turns off the lights and tosses back and forth, she will inevitably dissipate the heat that has just been warmed up in the bed, he can't bear it.
There was no moon on this day, and when the lights went out, the room was dark.Xu was thinking about what Zhou Hang said earlier about visiting the weaving workshop at night, the more Daiyu thought about it, the more energetic she became, and she didn't even feel sleepy.When I can’t sleep, I’m easy to think about a lot of things while lying on the bed. I can’t help but think of myself being served by gold slaves and silver servants in a small high bed. The crib creaked after turning over.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ruhai seemed to be falling asleep when he heard that Lin Ruhai was breathing evenly.
Daiyu kept the same posture, feeling that her body was a little numb, she wanted to turn sideways, but just as she moved, the bed creaked and tilted up again, afraid of waking Lin Ruhai, she turned halfway over and stopped abruptly.
"Yu'er, haven't you slept yet?" Zhou Hang's voice came, because it was deliberately lowered, so it was hoarse with some air friction.
"You haven't slept yet?" Daiyu also asked in a low voice.
But when Lin Ruhai turned over and coughed lowly, the two of them fell silent.Daiyu simply covered her head with the quilt, only feeling her heart pounding, like being caught for making a mistake when she was a child.Listen carefully again, Lin Ruhai's breathing is still long and even, he doesn't seem to be awake, could it be that Dad didn't wake up just now, but just coughed with a scratchy throat in his sleep?If that's the case, why is it when she was talking to Brother Hang again...
Her mind was in a mess, she simply shook her head, thinking about it, going to sleep...
As soon as she closed her eyes, a soft sense of consciousness came over her face, she subconsciously released her sense of consciousness to entangle with the other party, only to feel warmly wrapped by the other party.It made her breathe faster and her heart beat faster.After a while, she felt that it was too hot to bury her head in the quilt, and she was sweating a little.Just as she got her head out of the quilt, when she raised her eyes and saw two green lights staring at her, she couldn't help being startled.Taking a closer look, it was Zhou Hang who was looking at him, his eyes seemed to glow in the dark.
No wonder, he is a cat, Daiyu thought.
With Daddy these days, he has never turned into a cat, and she almost forgot about it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of his fluffy touch again, and she wanted to turn him into a big golden cat again.He was the most mighty when he became a giant cat, more mighty than a tiger, and his golden hair was more comfortable to the touch than the finest silk.Thinking of the few days when she first came out to look for her father, she was very tired every day, and she was frightened. Although she was very sleepy, she couldn't sleep well. He turned into a giant cat and let her sleep on his soft belly, and she could sleep soundly every time. very good.The feeling of being surrounded by warmth has never been experienced for many years except lying in the arms of the mother when I was a child.
Much more comfortable than this hard plank bed, she thought.
It was only when Zhou Hang became a cat that she dared to get close to him like that. When she was a human, she always remembered whether a man and a woman should be close or not. Although they were not very distant, she did not dare to get close to him wantonly.If she was in human form, she would also wantonly get close to Zhou Hang. After all, her hands are all young men and women. What has become of her, and what has become of Zhou Hang?This can be said to be her bottom line.
It was ridiculous to say this, but she just felt that this was the only way to not tarnish her friendship with Zhou Hang.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep without knowing it.
That night, Daiyu slept soundly, and when she opened her eyes she was the only one left in the room.The window was supported by a bamboo pole, most of it was opened, and one could see the bright sunshine outside at a glance, it was a sunny day.The farmer's woman and her daughter-in-law are drying the clothes they just like. The farmer's old man and his son are cleaning and cleaning the farm tools, while two children sit on the ground and play with the soil.Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang were also sitting on the side, chatting back and forth with the old man and his son.
Daiyu turned over and sat up with a smile, and saw Zhou Hang standing by the door panting.
"You woke up, how did you sleep?" he asked.
Daiyu put her legs on the side of the bed, and when she looked down for her shoes, Zhou Hang had already walked up to her.
Daiyu asked: "I saw you outside just now, why did you come here all of a sudden?" While speaking, he reached out to get a shoe to put on, when Zhou Hang half-kneeled on the ground very naturally, holding a shoe in his hand Here, as if to wear it for her.Daiyu was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her feet back to the bed, subconsciously glanced at Lin Ruhai who was still talking and laughing outside, and turned her head back hurriedly, as if she was afraid that Lin Ruhai would see her.
"What are you doing, get up quickly!" She clasped her hands tightly and said anxiously.
Zhou Hang knew that Daiyu couldn't accept him doing this for her.He could see it, thinking that it was still early, and there would be a day when she could accept it calmly.Therefore, he didn't feel any discomfort or embarrassment at all after being touched by Daiyu. He stood up and said with a smile: "I'm outside, and when I heard the creak of the bed, I knew you must be awake, so come here." have a look."
Daiyu didn't answer, and put on the shoes by herself.
"Did you not sleep cold last night?" He asked again.
Daiyu shook her head carelessly and said, "It's not cold." She straightened her clothes and went out.Zhou Hang followed her slowly, seeing him walking around the yard, he first said hello to the farmer's family, and then greeted Lin Ruhai.
Zhou Hang walked over and said, "Uncle, my little brother must be hungry, I'll take her to eat something."
Since he is pretending to be Lin Ruhai's nephew, people should call Lin Ruhai his uncle.Lin Daiyu is now dressed as a boy, so she is called my younger brother.
Lin Ruhai nodded, and then he took Daiyu's wrist and went to the kitchen.
On the way, Daiyu asked, "Have you all eaten?"
Zhou Hang said: "The old grandma cooked a pot of porridge before dawn. Whoever gets up first will eat it first. Everyone has used it."
I went to the kitchen and saw that there was still half a pot of porridge left. Although it was on the stove, the fire of the stove had been extinguished long ago, and the porridge was not hot at all.Zhou Hang showed Daiyu, put the lid on the pot again, turned around and closed the kitchen door, took out a plate of cut fruits of various colors from the space, and said, "Yu'er, you can eat this."
Daiyu looked at the pot and asked, "Do they usually eat this?"
After seeing the barrenness of Orion's family, she was already surprised when she saw the food in the farmer's house.But, she thought, the hunters had no food because they were too old to hunt. The farmers had at least a few acres of land, so the situation should be better.She originally thought that people who were so poor and embarrassed should be an exception, and most people could at least have enough food and clothing.Who would have thought that after losing one, they would encounter another who was not full enough to eat and not warm.
Zhou Hangdao: "It's winter now, during the slack season, so you don't need to make a lot of effort. Farmers' homes usually eat porridge in the morning. I heard from my grandfather that last night was also because of hospitality, so I had white flour steamed buns and fried vegetables. They usually only eat corn-bread at night. This porridge is the same today. They always eat the thin one on top, and specially leave the thick one for us to eat. Yu’er, you don’t have to eat it if you don’t like it. There are chopped fruits here. You eat here and no one outside sees it."
Daiyu glanced at him and said, "I'm so delicate, hiding here and eating alone?"
While talking, he didn't look at the plate of fruit that Zhou Hang was holding, walked over and filled half a bowl of porridge, and ate it with his hands.Zhou Hang hurriedly took the fruit back, snatched the bowl from Daiyu's hand, and said, "You can eat this if you want, at least you can eat it after I warm it up. It's winter, and it'll be cold to your stomach in a while!" Fortunately, he snatched it. In time, I took a few sips.
Daiyu raised her head and said, "If you all eat cold, I can too."
Zhou Hang: "It wasn't cold when we ate it."
While speaking, she had already poured the porridge into the pot, and squatted in front of the stove trying to light a fire, but after half a day it didn't start, instead her face was covered in ashes, Daiyu couldn't help laughing.After the peasant woman had finished drying her clothes, she saw thick smoke coming out of the kitchen, so she ran over to look at it, laughed too, urged Zhou Hang to get up, and said, "How can you do this, get up and let me do it." Then she called out, "Huzi, Huzi, come quickly, take your two elder brothers out to play for a while!"
Huzi is the grandson of the peasant woman, only five years old.Hearing this, she ran over to pull Daiyu's sleeve, and the peasant woman also urged: "Go out first, I will call you when the porridge is warmed."
Lin Ruhai has already asked the old man about the weaving workshop in the nearby village.
The old man was talking with gusto: "We don't know too well, we only know that Mr. Wu, the owner behind the village, is very powerful. A few years ago they recruited female weaving workers, and the wages were high, but there was one thing. The past five years were sold to them, and they were not allowed to see their family members, nor to go out, and the wages they earned were not allowed to be leaked outside, saying that they would be released after five years. My daughter-in-law’s fabrics were praised by neighbors far and near, At that time, I was also moved, but when I heard this, I didn’t go. Afterwards, life was really difficult, and I wanted to go, but they refused to take it.”
Lin Ruhai said: "Does the old man know where all the cloth they weave is sold?"
The old man frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "When you say it, I also find it strange, and I have never seen them sell cloth outside."
Daiyu listened for a while, then asked: "Grandpa, has anyone disappeared in your village?"
The old man thought for a while and said: "The year before last, the son of Li Ergou's family disappeared. He was neither alive nor dead, and there is no news about it until now..." He was startled suddenly, looked at Daiyu, Looking at Lin Ruhai again, "Why are you asking this?"
Lin Ruhai twirled his beard, beckoned Daiyu to his side, and said calmly: "He is a child who is curious about everything he sees. On the way here, I heard someone say something about missing people, so I remembered it in my heart. Ask everywhere."
The old man also put it aside and didn't ask any more questions.He looked at Lin Ruhai again, and saw that his manner was gentle, not like a businessman, but like a scholar.He has seen businessmen, he has seen those who sell eggs, sugar and rice, butchers and butchers, and even the rich man who runs a restaurant or a silk shop in the county town, and he is not as generous as the gentleman in front of him.He thought, even if this gentleman is a businessman, he must be different from those ordinary businessmen. Look at the materials he is wearing, which may not be found in the largest clothing store in the county.He guessed that Lin Ruhai must be a big businessman from some big place, and he had seen a lot of world experience.
but……
After thinking about it, he still couldn't help persuading him: "Old man, let me say something more. If you make a mistake, don't worry about it, sir."
Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, and said in a very humble tone: "If you have any old people, you can just say it straight, and the old man will listen to it."
The old man said: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. If you sell fabrics, sir, you might as well go to other places to look. Why just focus on this place. You don't know that the people in their village are ruthless. Make friends with the magistrate of the county, if you go to provoke them, if you suffer, there is no way to justify it."
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, old man. We were passing by and saw a weaving workshop here, so we wanted to buy some. They won't sell it, so we can't force it, right?"
The old man said: "It's good that sir understands."
For a while, the peasant woman heated up the porridge, served it to Daiyu.Daiyu thanked her and accepted it with a smile.When she ate porridge at home, she always used a spoon, but there was no spoon here, and the peasant woman handed her chopsticks made of unknown wood.These chopsticks don't seem to be bought, because some places are not cut neatly, and the thickness is uneven, Daiyu thinks that they should be made by others.This even more shows the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the farmer's family. Not only did Daiyu not dislike it, but she felt very fresh looking at the chopsticks.
Seeing that Daiyu was only staring at the chopsticks, the peasant woman said, "Why, are they dirty? I'll change a pair for my brother."
As she spoke, she reached for the chopsticks in Daiyu's hands, and Daiyu hurriedly said: "Grandma misunderstood, it's not that I dislike dirty, it's just that the chopsticks are made of a unique style, I wonder what kind of wood they are made of."
The peasant woman laughed loudly, and pointed to a very tall tree in the yard and said, "Did you see that poplar tree? It's made of branches from that tree."
"Is that the poplar tree?" Daiyu looked at it and asked.
"Brother doesn't recognize poplar?" The peasant woman was very surprised. Poplar is the most common tree, and many fields and villages are planted there.It is in the city. Unless you have never been out of the house, poplar trees are common.
Daiyu shook her head, and whispered: "I saw it written on the tree." She usually sees some strange flowers and plants, even when she goes out, she sees many trees and can't remember them one by one. Ask what the tree is called What kind of tree is that.Her impression of poplar is what is written in the book: tall, straight, straight trunk, leaves as big as a child's palm, crown with high momentum, and the wind rustling.I really can't figure out what the poplar tree is like, but I saw it today.
The peasant woman couldn't help laughing and said: "My brother is really a young man who studies, and he will be the number one in the exam in the future."
So she told Daiyu that no matter what kind of tree it is, every spring, it will inevitably grow many new branches.Too many branches will affect the growth of the tree. Only by cutting off the lower branches can the tree grow tall and strong.For example, this poplar tree is so tall and straight, that is why its branches are pruned every year. If it is allowed to grow by itself, where can we get such a towering giant tree.The chopsticks they use are made from the unwanted branches of poplar trees.
Daiyu felt that what the peasant woman said made sense. Isn't that the reason why parents in a family should educate their children?Not to mention this, the way officials govern the place, and the methods and methods used by officials and officials come from this simple truth?
What more to say, the peasant woman said with a smile: "Brother, eat the porridge, it will be cold in a while."
If it was really cold, it would be a disappointment to others.Thinking about it, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "You are busy, don't worry about me, I can clean the dishes myself."
Zhou Hang couldn't bear to wash the dishes with Daiyu's tender hands, especially since it was winter and the water was very cold.Therefore, as soon as Daiyu finished eating, he grabbed her bowl and said, "You don't know how to wash dishes, let me do it."
The peasant woman and her daughter-in-law were grinding noodles in the yard. Seeing this, they couldn't help laughing and said, "This brother really loves my brother."
Zhou Hang went to wash the dishes, and Daiyu played with the two older children at home.Huzi's older sister is called Sister Yun, and the younger one has not yet been named, so the family calls her Second Sister.Sister Yun was very timid, and Daiyu called her several times, but she was too timid to go over, so Daiyu took out her purse to coax her, and she walked over in small steps, looking at the colorful and beautiful red envelopes, He didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.Daiyu had no choice but to give it to her, and she held the purse in her hand before smiling slightly.
But Hu Zi dodged the purse and said loudly: "Don't take things from my little brother!"
Sister Yun burst into tears with a "wow".
Looking at the purse in her hand that was stuffed back by the tiger, Daiyu felt guilty that she made the little girl cry.She hurriedly put the purse into Sister Yun's hand again, and while stroking Sister Yun's head to comfort her, she said to Huzi, "It's okay, what brother gave to Sister Yun is Sister Yun's stuff, she didn't steal it from her brother." In desperation, she didn't feel awkward even calling herself brother.
Seeing his sister crying suddenly, Huzi was also a little frightened, and his words were filled with tears.
"Father said, you can't just take things from people..."
With great difficulty, Daiyu coaxed Sister Yun from crying, and said to Huzi, "Huzi is really a good boy, but this is a cousin gift from my brother, and you can ask for it. You always have to give a watch when you meet each other for the first time. Don’t want to make the person who gave the gift unhappy, if you don’t believe me ask your mother and grandma.”
Such a big movement here has already alarmed the peasant woman and her daughter-in-law, and they have already come over now.
Hu Zi looked up, just in time to see his mother and grandma, staring at them with tears in their eyes.
The peasant woman looked at Daiyu with a stiff smile on her face and rubbed her hands helplessly. "Brother, this meeting gift is too expensive, and it will spoil her." She said.
Daiyu said: "It's just an ordinary purse. It's not a good thing. It's just for this little sister to play with. If you think the gift is too thin..."
Before she finished speaking, the peasant woman said: "Brother, what are you talking about! We farmers have never seen such a delicate thing. If it is thin, what is thick? Brother, we will accept it with your heart." yes."
Only then did Huzi smile again.
Even if it is a show gift, it would not be appropriate to only give it to sister Yun, so Daiyu took out two purses, one for the tiger's son and one for the second sister.These purses of hers were originally left over from people who rewarded people during the New Year's festival, and each contained two small gold coins, which were worth a few taels in silver, which can be regarded as an indirect donation.Seeing this, Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang also gave gifts. Although the things are not very expensive, they are also very valuable to the peasant family. As long as the family is willing to work hard in the future, it will be enough for them to buy some property and live comfortably. .This can be regarded as a nuisance, and they are warmly entertained in return.
Lin Ruhai and the others left that day and found an inn in Qiu County to stay.
Although the matter has not been investigated clearly, Lin Ruhai thinks it is best to put aside the matter here and go back to Shan County.After all, they have no foundation here, and it is not convenient for them to reveal their identities and mobilize soldiers, but Shan County has King Jing's influence, so they can mobilize at will.What's more, he was attacked and disappeared in Shan County. How could those people think that he would eventually go to Qiu County? They don't know how to find him in the huge forest at this moment.Another point is that there were also living dead among those who attacked him, that is to say, there were also living dead in Shan County, and there were even more.The last point is that when Daiyu and Zhou Hang came, they didn't bring any guards with them. According to Zhou Hang, he also managed to get rid of those hidden guards.What if something happens to this?
Zhou Hang felt that it would not be too late to go back to Shan County after clarifying the matter of Qiu County first. Besides, if the matter of Qiu County was clear, maybe the matter of Lin Ruhai's attack would also be clear.
Daiyu also agreed with Zhou Hang's point of view.
Lin Ruhai snorted, a little annoyed, this daughter of hers really turned towards outsiders.
What Zhou Hang said is very reasonable. If he was here by himself, he would probably do the same. The problem is that the two children follow him. He doesn't think about his own safety, but also theirs.
In the end, he still didn't win over the two children and agreed with them to figure it out before leaving.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai was not very happy, Daiyu went up and grabbed his arm and said, "What does daddy want to eat tonight, my daughter told the shopkeeper and let them do it."
No matter how angry Lin Ruhai was, she was suffocated by her acting coquettishly. She couldn't help laughing and said: "You treat this as if you are at home, and let people make whatever you want to eat? This kind of small shop just doesn't make people hungry. .”
The small shop he was talking about was the most luxurious and expensive inn in Qiu County.
Daiyu and Zhou Hang knew that he hadn't let go of his anger yet, they looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Dinner is a plate of buns, a plate of vegetarian fried vegetables, two kinds of dim sum, and a pot of white fungus and millet porridge. The staple food is steamed buns, which is also considered rich.After the meal, they agreed to divide into two shifts tomorrow to go to the east and west of the city to inquire about news, and to write down what was useful, and if the county magistrate had anything to do with the common people, they would also write it down and deal with it together in the future.
Classes are divided like this, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu are in one class, Zhou Hang and Big Black Cat Yuball are in one class.
This method of division made Zhou Hang quite depressed, but there was nothing he could do.He wanted to be in the same class as Daiyu, but Lin Ruhai would not agree.Besides, Daiyu also agreed with such a division. Lin Ruhai doesn't know martial arts, so Daiyu can protect him in any danger.
Lin Ruhai said: "Although we won't go back for the time being, we still have to send a letter to Shan County to report that Prince Jing's people are safe, so that they can have peace of mind."
Speaking of this, Zhou Hang asked: "My lord, you came back from Shan County, do you know how the emperor's uncle's investigation of the robbery of food and grass is going? Also, has the cousin been found?"
Lin Ruhai said: "I haven't seen Prince Jing. I heard from the people under him that there is some clue about the robbing of food and grass. However, the whereabouts of the son is still unknown, and his life and death are still unknown... However, no news is sometimes good news. There really is a problem, the corpse should have been found a long time ago, and now it’s a good thing to be alive. I heard that Mr. Sang has mobilized all his strength to find it..."
He is willing to mobilize all his strength...
Zhou Hang thought, as long as his cousin is still alive, he will be able to find him sooner or later.
How to send the letter is a problem, I can't send the fish ball back.That is, it can send letters. Who would pay attention to a cat?It would be nice not to take it as a prank.In ancient times, it was difficult to send letters, and most of them asked fellow villagers to deliver letters from home, or found someone to give him a lot of money, and asked him to make a special trip.These two methods are not suitable in this situation, because the security cannot be guaranteed.After much deliberation, the court station is still the most efficient and accurate.
In order to facilitate the transmission of military information and local government affairs, the imperial court will set up post stations every [-] miles on the pipeline.There is a post station on the pipeline not far from Qiu County. If it is normal, it is just a matter of sending a letter, which is a piece of cake.But now that it is inconvenient for them to reveal their identities, it is a bit difficult.
"Didn't Daddy bring an official seal?" Daiyu asked, "Isn't it easy to use Daddy's official seal to pass a letter to the post?"
Simple is simple, Lin Ruhai said: "Since then, our identities have been exposed."
Daiyu sighed, and thought to herself, father's official seal cannot be used, and brother Hang's seal is even more unusable.In this way, there is only one way.She raised her head and said, "Brother Hang, go to the post station tomorrow, give them some money, and ask them to help deliver a letter, is it okay? Besides, you are not sending letters to ordinary people's homes, but to The General's Mansion in Shan County is not counted as their extravagant delivery of private letters."
Because Shan County is an important grain and grass transshipment point leading to the border, it has a garrison and a general's mansion. Its status is not comparable to that of a small and remote county like Qiu County.
Zhou Hang nodded and said, "This method may work."
After the discussion has been made, several people are ready to go back to their room to rest.Although the inn is not very big, because there are not many guests, the rooms are sufficient.There are three rooms in the upper room, and Lin Ruhai and the others cover them all.Among the three connected rooms, Daiyu lives in the east, Zhou Hang lives in the west, and Lin Ruhai lives in the middle.
On purpose, his future father-in-law definitely thinks it was on purpose!
Zhou Hang walked west angrily, wanting to turn around and say to Lin Ruhai: Are you so interesting?However, he dared not.At that time, Lin Ruhai replied with an interesting sentence, I just separated you two on purpose, didn't my daughter obediently listen to my arrangement, and you have the ability to make Daiyu propose that you can't live in that room.Isn't he even more aggrieved and depressed?
Oh, I really wish that the days would pass quickly, I really wish that Daiyu was sixteen or seventeen years old now, and he could marry someone back home right now.This is sad, he can only think about it, he doesn't dare to offend his future father-in-law very much now, if his future father-in-law gets angry and wants to keep Daiyu until 20 years old, he must be depressed and vomit blood!
Seeing Zhou Hang's lonely figure walking slowly into the house, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel good.
Boy, do you still want to steal my daughter from me?
Early the next morning, Zhou Hang set off for the post station.Although there is an extra task of delivering the letter, the original matter cannot be delayed, so he has to hurry up.He didn't take the fish balls away, but left them for Daiyu.Daiyu asked Yu Wan to go to the county magistrate's house to keep an eye on Mr. Wu, the great squire, and to report back whenever there was anything.
Daiyu and Lin Ruhai walked around the streets and inquired about many unconscionable things done by the county magistrate and Mr. Wu, and wrote them down in the notebook when no one was there.They asked everyone they met, and soon some ruffians were alarmed, and they reported the matter to the yamen. After a while, five or six rough men in yamen clothes came over viciously with big wooden sticks, and the gathered people scattered like birds and beasts. open.
One of the little ruffians nodded and bowed to meet him, and said with a flattering smile: "Masters, it's the two of them who slandered the Grand Master!"
Daiyu saw those yamen servants, all of them with shy bellies and heads up, fat heads and big ears, walking like uncles. They didn't look like officials. At first glance, they were used to bullying and oppressing people. They were like bandits, so they couldn't help but despise them. , I didn't even bother to look at them.
"You guys have the guts to speak ill of the old man behind your back!" The one who walked in the front had a scar on his face, which was long and shocking. He squinted his eyes and said arrogantly.That emphasis, at first glance, is a habit of putting on airs on weekdays, which is very disgusting.
Daiyu glanced at him and snorted contemptuously.
This annoyed the man, he threw the wooden stick and shouted: "Brothers, teach me a lesson for this little boy!"
All the yamen servants rushed forward to beat him, but Daiyu stepped in front of Lin Ruhai, her hands full of luck.Seeing that someone was going to beat his daughter, Lin Ruhai's first reaction was to pull her back. How could he remember that his daughter has skills, and these reckless men can't do anything to her?
It doesn't matter if he pulls it, Daiyu has lost most of her luck, she didn't get hit by a stick, she was pulled behind by Lin Ruhai.The stick actually hit Lin Ruhai's body, and he groaned and fell down.
It was a coincidence that the blow hit the back of the head, and Lin Ruhai fainted immediately.
Daiyu didn't react for a while, she was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Lin Ruhai fainted on the ground with a puddle of blood under her head, she couldn't help being furious, her eyes were red, and she looked at those yamen servants like knives. of.
"Look, die!" She burst out two words through her teeth.
As he spoke, he gathered his whole body's true energy into his palms, and a sudden gust of wind blew up, sending sand and stones flying.She was really murderous, these people touched her scales, and she wanted them to pay with their lives!Seeing that the true energy turned into thousands of sharp knives in her palm, she was about to send it out when suddenly a powerful force struck, wanting to stun those yamen servants in one step.
Qiu County, who can have such a skill...
"Brother Hang..." Seeing Zhou Hang standing in front of him, Daiyu couldn't control the tears welling up in her eyes for some reason, "Daddy, Daddy knocked them out..."
Zhou Hang hurriedly helped Lin Ruhai up, and fed him a pill. In this way, although Lin Ruhai was still awake, there would be no serious problems. "Yu'er, don't cry, I will vent your anger and revenge for you." Looking at Daiyu, he said, "It would be cheaper for them to just let them die, Yu'er, you can see clearly, when dealing with this kind of people, you should let them live Better to die..."
As he said that, he threw a few talismans outside, and the yamen servant who was stunned by Zhou Hang just now and the little hooligan who led the way woke up again, but rolled on the ground with their heads in their arms.
This one said: "It hurts so much, I don't want to live anymore..."
That one said: "Ah, ah, forgive me, I didn't kill you, don't come and eat me, ah, don't bite me, don't eat my flesh." While saying that, he rolled around on the ground, looking extremely painful, His bare skin seemed to have been bitten and cut, and blood was bleeding in many places.
Daiyu didn't know when Zhou Hang made such a powerful talisman, it was just right to deal with these people.
The worst thing was the one who hit Lin Ruhai with a stick before, and saw him scratching his face frantically, his face was completely tattered by his scratching.
Zhou Hang carried Lin Ruhai on his back, intending to pull Lin Daiyu away, and these people would only suffer worse. They would keep scratching and scratching at themselves, and even kill each other. He didn't want Daiyu to have such a tragic scene. see.
Unexpectedly, the people who had just dispersed at this time swarmed up, calling Zhou Hang a "fairy", and wanted to drag him to show them the house and Feng Shui.Zhou Hang didn't forget how far those yamen servants hid from Daiyu when they bullied Daiyu, as if they were afraid of getting involved, but now they all came together.Not to mention that he still has his future father-in-law on his back, and he doesn't know how to read Feng Shui, even if he knows how to read it, he is not willing to show it to them.
Daiyu looked at the group of people blocking the way, frowned and said, "Please step aside and let us pass."
Those people just took half a step back, blocking the road, Zhou Hang said with a straight face: "Why, you want to taste them too?" The people he was talking about were naturally those people rolling on the ground.The people were also people who had seen Zhou Hang's methods, so they didn't dare to say anything, they scattered in fright, faster than when Fang Qian saw the yamen servant.
Zhou Hang returned to the inn with Lin Ruhai on his back, entered the space, took a dip in the Lingquan water, and Lin Ruhai woke up after a while.The first sentence was Daiyu, and Daiyu hurriedly said, "Daddy, I'm here."
The second sentence is: "Yu'er, are you hurt?"
Daiyu said: "Thank you daddy for protecting me, my daughter is fine and not hurt."
Lin Ruhai was relieved now, and asked how the matter was handled in the end.Zhou Hang then talked about how to punish those yamen servants, Lin Ruhai said: "It's good to teach them a lesson. What kind of yamen servants are they, what grade are they, and they have such a big style? The imperial guards in front of the saint are not as big as them. !"
He asked again, "When will your talisman expire?"
Zhou Hang smiled: "Ineffective? It's hard to say. When they can't toss and die from exhaustion, or catch themselves to death, they will be invalid."
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning.
Zhou Hang put away his smile, and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, do you think I'm being serious?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and said, "Actually, it's not a pity for these people to die..."
Zhou Hang felt relieved.I heard him say again: "Although I don't know what kind of Taoism you are practicing, I have heard that people who practice Taoism have karma in the end. If you killed those people for nothing, will it hinder your future?"
It turned out that the future father-in-law was worried about this, so Zhou Hang felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't worry. Those people are capable of rampaging and tyrannizing the common people, and the sins they committed cannot be redeemed even if they die ten or eight times. I killed them. It is to eliminate harm for the people, and it is a piece of merit, which is beneficial to practice.”
Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a saying?"
Zhou Hang nodded.Lin Ruhai secretly thought, wouldn't it be good if the prince and his daughter deal with the most vicious people in the future?But he changed his mind and got rid of this idea from his mind, it was not appropriate, so it turned out that he used the dignified prince as an executioner?Even Daiyu, even with all kinds of benefits, can't let her hands be stained with blood.
If something like this happens, this inn will no longer be available.
This is, the fish ball is back, bringing back an important news.
The author has something to say:
The author made up his mind to update [-] a day this month, but after just two days, he started to have diarrhea again.
It’s so painful, so helpless. I’ve been in poor health for the past two years. Although I haven’t had any major illnesses, I’ve had minor illnesses. After appendicitis surgery two months ago, I managed to gain weight. The author has had diarrhea these days and lost weight again up.Maybe some girls think it's good to lose two catties, but you have to understand the heart of a thin person who wants to gain weight.I have lived for more than 20 years, and my weight has never exceeded 90 catties. Now it is only a little over 80 catties. No matter how thin I feel, there is no one. (I am 1.6 meters tall, and it should be just right to eat more than 90 catties)
I always thought maybe it would be better to eat a little fatter, but...
In the past two years, I have been really sick, either with a cold or stomach upset, or with diarrhea.My mother said that if it is not good tonight, she will take me to hang a hanging bottle tomorrow. If that is the case, it may be even worse tomorrow.
That, it's a bit messy, just to say it casually, this month can be updated every day as much as possible, and if it doesn't, please forgive me.
