Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 79
Accompanied by the continuous spring rain, the wheels rolled forward.

But I saw the little flowers on the side of the road unsteadily opening their puffy little faces, welcoming the arrival of spring with the brightest smile.

Green buds sprouted from the willow trees by the river. Xu Yue leaned in her elder brother's arms, reached out and broke off a section, wove a wicker hat and put it on. Her family members praised her, and she didn't feel the slightest reluctance to leave.

And because there are family members by my side, although I don't know where the future is, I don't have any hesitation about the future.

The big green cow bought for [-] yuan was very vigorous, and Xu Erniang fed it high-quality materials, so it ran very fast.

By the time Yuan Song and the master made their move and sent people to kill Xu's courtyard in the north of the city, the family had already run away.

The two wooden doors were kicked down on the ground, and more than a dozen guards were all masters carefully trained in the prefect's mansion.

What I'm afraid of is that Xu Da's height is superior to martial arts, so he specially prepared elites.

But they never expected that within two hours, the family would disappear without a trace.

The yard was clean, and there was not even a single firewood left, so they almost thought they had found the wrong place.

Liu Rong, who reluctantly followed the guards and prepared to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, swore to the sky that this was the residence of the Xu family, and everyone believed it.

But Xu's escape quality really stunned him, so that for a long time, Liu Rong couldn't help but shudder whenever he heard the word Xu.

The Xu family couldn't find it, so the group rushed to Wang Dayou's house again, but when they opened the door, they couldn't see even a bird feather, let alone a person.

Now it was impossible to go back and deal with the prefect, so a dozen people knocked on all the doors of the neighbors and questioned them carefully.

Gathered the disciples of the Huokang Gang together and questioned them one by one, asking where Xu Da and Wang Dayou went!
However, the brothers of the Huokang Gang didn't even know when the patriarch left. Instead, they were surprised and asked the guards where their patriarch had gone.

The people on both sides looked at each other and looked at you, each of them was more at a loss than the other, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

In the end, they couldn't find out the whereabouts of the two families. More than a dozen people came in arrogance, and hurried out of the city with dark faces to chase them.

At this time, Xu Yue's family had already left Hejian County and came to a remote village.

It rained continuously in spring for a day, the road was muddy and slippery, the road became narrower and steeper the farther away from the city, and the ox cart gradually slowed down.

But along the way, Wang Shi and Xu Erniang were covering up their traces. It is expected that even if someone came after them, they would not be able to find their traces.

It was getting late, and the raindrops tended to get bigger and bigger. The two families entered the village and were about to find a place to live when they suddenly heard an uncertain "girl?" came over.

Everyone in Xu Yue followed the sound and saw an old man walking down the mountain road carrying a heavy load of firewood. He looked at Xu Yue in surprise and uncertainty, and called out again:

"Girl, it's me, the old man who sold firewood to your family in heavy snow a few years ago, you also gave me a pot of hot water, remember?"

Xu Da of the Wang family and others all looked at Xu Yue, and Xu Yue took a closer look at the old man, and a faint memory suddenly appeared in her mind, and she asked in surprise:
"Old man, it's you! Is your home here?"

Xu Yue pointed to Xiaozhuangzi in front, the old man smiled and nodded, Xu Yue was suddenly surprised.

This small village is nearly forty miles away from the county seat, and it was snowing heavily at the time, and it was necessary to drag such a heavy firewood, let alone an old man, even the mighty Xu Dalang, who had to drag such heavy firewood in such bad weather. I'm afraid it won't be enough to go to the county town with too much firewood.

This old man is really powerful!

Seeing Xu Yue's surprised face, the old man smiled simply and asked them where they were going.

Knowing that Xu Yue's family was going to find a place to stay, he warmly invited them to live in his home.

Being so forthright and enthusiastic, Xu Yue was so embarrassed that she asked half jokingly and half seriously:
"Old man, aren't you afraid that we are bad people?"

The old man changed his shoulder to carry the firewood, waved his free hand, and said gratefully:
"Girl, thanks to your pot of hot water, otherwise I would almost not be able to walk home that day. How can such a kind little girl be a bad person?"

Seeing that Xu Yue wanted to ask about what happened that day, the old man hurriedly told them to go with him, not wanting to tell her too many dangerous things.

The two families looked at each other with such enthusiasm, how could they refuse?

Xu Dalang and Wang jumped out of the car, asked the old man to put firewood on the car, and followed the old man to his house.

When I was admitted to the hospital, it was already dark.

Among the three thatched houses, the one in the middle was lit with a torch, and the orange fire illuminated the small courtyard, which was filled with firewood brought by the old man.

One pile after another, piled up into small hills, and then covered with straw mats to keep out the rain. When the weather is fine and there are two more days in the sun, they can be pulled to the city by car to sell.

At that time, the firewood was dry and easy to burn, and it could be sold out quickly.

The yard is not big at all, and it is even more cramped with an ox cart, and it is difficult for people to move around.

The old man also has an old wife and two sons at home.

The eldest son is married, and there is a younger grandson who lives in the East House.

The younger son is still unmarried and lives in the smaller Westinghouse.

The old couple lived on a bed made of wooden planks behind the main room.

The already crowded house suddenly flooded into Xu Yue's family and Wang Dayou's father and son. There were a total of eight adults and children, and they could only make floor beds in the youngest son's room and the main room.

Xu Da, Wang Dayou, and the youngest son of the old man's family slept together in the main room, while Wang took the children to sleep in the west room.

The old man's wife was in poor health, and his eldest son was also a little lame. When guests came to the house, it was the eldest daughter-in-law who greeted him.

This honest daughter-in-law didn't neglect them because they were outsiders, on the contrary, she was very enthusiastic and didn't speak much, but she always had a shy smile on her lips, telling Xu Yue and the children to eat more.

Xu's family never eats for free. Xu Da scooped out twenty catties of grain from the wooden box used to cover people's eyes, and poured it into the old man's rice jar.

When the old man's daughter-in-law found out, the food from the two families had already been mixed together, which almost made the little daughter-in-law cry.

"My father-in-law's life was saved by the girl. My family should repay you, so how can I ask for your food!" The little daughter-in-law said with shame while her eyes were red.

Xu Yue really didn't dare to take this life-saving grace, she only gave her a pot of water, and hurriedly waved her hands to explain, the little man even turned around to coax her to call her an elder who was aunt.

That scene was inexplicably funny, the old man shook his head helplessly, telling his daughter-in-law not to cry, let's leave it at that.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone was ready to rest, and when they entered the west room, Xu Yue saw the kang next to the wall at a glance.

Immediately, he turned his head and asked the old man standing outside the door, "Has anyone come here to set up a kang? How much is it? But two hundred yuan for a kang?"

Xu Yue's original intention was to randomly check whether the disciples of the Huokang Gang had strictly abided by the gang rules. Unexpectedly, she won two disciples of the Huokang Gang.
