Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3448 Guess

Back at the restaurant, Yang Ruoqing prepared hot water for Xiaoyu to take a bath and wash her hair, and went to the shopkeeper of the restaurant to bring a set of the shopkeeper's daughter's clothes for Xiaoyu to change.

Yang Ruoqing went to order the cook in the kitchen to bring over a bowl of shredded pork noodles, and then went to Chen'er's room by herself.

Chen'er was explaining things to the dark guard there, when he saw Yang Ruoqing coming in, he nodded towards her, and continued to explain to the dark guard.

"Follow what I said, just talk about the fight, and Miss Xiaoyu don't mention it."

He told the dark guard again, the dark guard nodded, turned and left the room.

After the dark guard left, only the mother and wife were left in the room, Yang Ruoqing gave Chen'er a thumbs up.

"Very witty, know how to reserve." She said.

Chen'er smiled, if he doesn't have such a little wit, isn't he just a fool!
"Mother, please sit down, my son has something to say to mother." He said.

"I know what you want to say." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Chen'er looked at Yang Ruoqing in surprise, but Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to make a silent gesture, and said with a sly smile: "Don't say it first, let mother guess."

Chen'er pursed her lips and nodded.

My old lady is not pedantic at all, and she is very stubborn, sometimes like a child.

Chen'er likes a woman with such a character to be his mother.

Yang Ruoqing rested her chin with her hands, stared at Chen'er's with her beautiful Danfeng eyes, and said, "You want to remind mother that before investigating Xiaoyu's situation clearly, don't believe anything easily, right?"

Chen'er was startled, and said in surprise, "Mother, do you know how to read minds?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled triumphantly, and continued, "You have actually sent secret guards to investigate Xiaoyu, right?"

Chen'er nodded again, "I think what happened tonight is a bit strange. It's impossible for ordinary girls to be hunted down in the middle of the night."

"Moreover, the same group of people split into two groups to fight for her. This is not an easy matter. Maybe it has something to do with the bizarre deaths that happened in the city these two days." He said.

Yang Ruoqing pondered for a while, nodded and said, "To be honest, I actually met Xiaoyu's father and daughter in Washi eight years ago."

"She was younger than you at the time, only four years old, and her father looked like the kind of honest and incompetent farmer's man at first glance."

"Being bullied by the butcher, the kind who can't even fart loudly." She said.

"At that time, I really stood up to help their father and daughter teach the butcher a lesson, and gave them four catties of pork belly."

"Their father and daughter thanked me a lot and left. At that time, I remembered that her father seemed to say that their home is in the south of Xiushui Town, near the junction with Nanmanzi."

"I also said that there is still a mother in the family, and the mother is still pregnant, and the purpose of buying meat is to make up for the mother..."

"After that farewell, we haven't seen each other for eight years."

"In the past eight years, many things have happened and many people have changed."

"Chen'er, don't worry, your mother, I don't have the intention of harming others, but I always have the intention of guarding against others. Otherwise, this sinister world would have swallowed me up long ago." She said.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Chen'er finally let out a sigh of relief.

"So best!" he said.

"My son is not the kind of person who likes to be suspicious of others, but for the safety of your mother, my son has to investigate clearly." He explained.

Yang Ruoqing blinked in relief, "Mother naturally understands your heart. Right now, your Aunt Xiaoyu is taking a bath, so when she finishes washing, invite her to come over and let her explain what's going on."

"When the time comes, we will compare it with your investigation, and we will know whether she has lied to us." She said.

……

Half an hour later, Xiaoyu took a bath, changed out of her blood-stained clothes, and ate a few mouthfuls of noodles, then shook her head and lost her appetite.

"If you don't eat, you will be hungry at night. Now this age is the time to grow your body." Yang Ruoqing sat aside and persuaded.

Xiaoyu shook her head again and smiled wryly: "Longer body? If time can turn back and give me a chance to choose again, I would rather die with my mother and my unborn brother eight years ago!"

Hearing this, both Yang Ruoqing and Chen'er were surprised. Then, Yang Ruoqing frowned and asked Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, what's the matter? Why did your mother and your brother die?"

Sitting there, Xiaoyu's face after washing away the dust and dirt was delicate and beautiful, like a lotus after rain, fresh and rainy.

It's just that at this moment, her face is really pale, and her eyes are full of pain and hatred.

"Not only my mother and younger brother, but also my uncle's family, my aunt's family, my aunt's family, and the whole village, young and old, all died!"

"If my father and I hadn't gone to the tile market in Xiushui Town to buy pork, we would have been killed too," Xiaoyu murmured.

Yang Ruoqing gasped, and Chen'er beside her also frowned.

Yang Ruoqing hurriedly asked: "This is Tucun, who did it? Do you know?"

When asked about this, Xiaoyu's originally delicate and pleasant face suddenly twisted, and her fingers subconsciously picked at the table.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the scratches on the top-sized pineapple wood table top, and returned her gaze to Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, don't get excited, tell me who is so cruel to commit such a heinous thing!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoyu took a few deep breaths, and managed to keep herself from fainting out of anger.

"This is my shame, and what I regret and hate the most!" She gritted her teeth.

"That day, I will never forget it. My father and I went back to the village. After a while, we saw black smoke rising from the village, which blackened the sky on that side."

"Everyone in the village died, all the houses were burned down, and my mother was burned into a piece of coal..."

Xiaoyu's tears fell down, her whole body trembling.

Yang Ruoqing quickly got up and came to her side, holding her shoulders.

"Don't talk about this, just say who did it!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoyu was tense all over, and said in pain: "My father and I found an uncle next door to my house in a sweet potato cellar on the mountain at the entrance of the village."

"That uncle was also dying. Before he died, he took my father's hand and said, don't trust the officers and soldiers. They were the ones who slaughtered the village..."

"Officers and soldiers? Daqi's officers and soldiers?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened in surprise.

Eight years ago, there were actually two groups of officers and soldiers stationed in Xiushui Town in the south, one group was Luo Fengtang and Ning Su, and the other group was a general surnamed Zhu.

Luo Fengtang and Ning Su definitely wouldn't do it. Could it be that it was General Zhu who slaughtered the village?
"Xiaoyu, I remembered about Tucun." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoyu looked up at Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "To be honest, my man, that is, Chen'er's father, was in the army of Xiushui Town at that time, but there was another group of troops who were also in Xiushui Town at that time. They were temporarily sent by the emperor to join the army. Kill the Southern Barbarians and the Black Lotus Sect from the side."
