Chapter 144

"I think my brother-in-law seems to have noticed this too. Don't worry, Fuyue. We know exactly what kind of person my brother-in-law is, and this child looks so old. At that time, my brother-in-law was just a brat. , what can you do?"

Li Fuyue didn't think about the problem that Li Miaoyue was worried about, but another conjecture came to her mind, a little boy who looked like Zhou Du?Could it be that Li Fuyue met Zhou Dusheng's gaze, and the other party's eyebrows were slightly twisted. Seeing Li Fuyue looking over, Zhou Dusheng nodded indistinctly: It's possible.

Li Fuyue's heart fluctuated a lot, and when she went to see the child again, Li Fuyue understood that the other person was cold and different from ordinary children. If it was what they imagined, this child would Growing up in the environment, it is not difficult to understand this.

It's just that it's not convenient to ask Chen Qing directly, and the two of them kept a tacit silence.The large army brought by the Li family waited on the outskirts of the city. They waited anxiously in the afternoon sun. Li Shu and Yu were relieved when they saw several people appearing at the end of their field of vision. Li Congxin ran in the front: "Sister, Brother-in-law, you guys are back! Hey, who is this? And this little one." Bai Che didn't have much reaction when he was called a little one, but just raised his eyes to look at Li Congxin, his immature face was very cute. Seriously, Li Congxin couldn't figure it out: "Third sister, where did you bring this child back? Why does he look like a little old man?"

Called a little old man, Bai Che finally had the temper of a child. He glanced at Li Congxin again, with a slight dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he still didn't speak.

"Okay, don't tease the children. We have to hurry up. If those bandits catch up after reacting, we will suffer a lot. Hurry up while the hour is still here. Go to the north, and if we are lucky, we can find a good place to rest." Li Fuyue said this, everyone had no objection, they all agreed, and soon the team set off.

After passing through the town, there is a wilderness with a wide view, and the official road is more spacious than before. Even if the carriage carrying grain did not move forward quickly, the road was unimpeded, and it traveled a lot of distance. When night fell At that time, Li Fuyue and his party did not go to the next town to settle down, but spent the night in a lush forest according to the previous plan.

After a simple meal, Li Fuyue also enjoyed the only after-dinner snack - a large bowl of anti-fetal medicine.Although the process of enjoyment was not too pleasant, Li Fuyue almost squeezed her nose and drank it. After drinking the medicine, even eating two pieces of candied fruit did not suppress the bitter taste.

Zhou Dusheng was never a person who was afraid of the pain of medicine, but seeing Li Fuyue's struggling expression, he suddenly felt that the pain of medicine was unbearable. "Okay, I'm the one taking the medicine, and it's not you. Let your brows loosen?" Li Fuyue smoothed Zhou Dusheng's frown, "By the way, Brother Chen Qing, why don't you ask?" "Hmmm , I'll go when you take a moment." "I'm fine here, you can try to ask, but this matter involves a lot, it's better to be careful."

Zhou Dusheng gave birth to the tent, and after Chen Qing brought Li Fuyue the soup, he went to coax Bai Che to eat. When Zhou Dusheng arrived at the tent where the two lived, Bai Che had already been coaxed to sleep. Li Fuyue opened the tent. Lianzi stood at the door of the tent, watching the movement over there from a distance, and saw Chen Qing coming out, and paused after hearing what Zhou Dusheng said, and then the two walked towards the river, which was farther away from the camp. Far away, it is convenient for the two to test each other.

The night is silent, the moonlight tonight is like a silver glow, sprinkled on the ground, the tree shadows sway slightly in the wind, Li Fuyue is a little bored, she plays with her own shadow vigorously, and then, a taller shadow overlaps Li Fuyue's shadow , Li Fuyue raised her head and blinked her dry eyes: "We're done talking so soon?"

"Well, it's much smoother than I thought. Come on, go in first, it's windy outside." The two entered the tent, and Zhou Dusheng didn't pretend to be foolish. The two of them lay on the mattress, and Zhou Dusheng said slowly: " That boy is indeed my aunt's child."

Even with such guesses and preparations from the beginning, Li Fuyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard the affirmative judgment: "Tell me carefully, if my aunt was pregnant at the beginning, you should have received the news." Zhou Du Sheng never concealed anything from her, both husband and wife knew what was going on, and she didn't remember that the Queen was pregnant before her death.

"This is the key point. My aunt was originally guided to marry into the royal family. After the birth of the current emperor, she has been targeted to become the current puppet. Naturally, the regent party does not want my aunt to have another son. Therefore, my aunt first discovered that there is a When she was pregnant, no one else knew about it except her confidant and imperial physician." Li Fuyue nodded, Zhou Dusheng had also told her before that once the Zhou family was in great trouble, now it seems that the relationship between the imperial palace and the general's mansion The eyeliner is definitely indispensable.

Zhou Dusheng went on to say: "When the child was still in the womb, it was very weak, so it didn't show much. When it came to the palace change, the fetus was only seven months old, and my aunt knew that she couldn't escape this catastrophe. , he used drugs to induce labor, and hanged himself to death in white silk, and asked the palace servants to burn his body after death." Li Fuyue's heart trembled fiercely, and if a woman died after induced labor, if the whole body was dead, it would definitely leave traces. It is a good awakening.

Li Fuyue said softly: "And that imperial doctor is Brother Chen Qing? No, he's not the right age, he should be a member of Brother Chen Qing's family?" Zhou Dusheng nodded: "Indeed, my aunt's confidant is Chen Qing His father, Chen Yuyi, also died in the palace change. Later, he entrusted Bai Che to Chen Qing. Chen Qing fled from the capital. He has been avoiding the crowd for many years. If it weren't for this rebellion, he would not have appeared here In the eyes of the world."

"That's right. Then why is little Bai Che different from ordinary children?" "I also asked Chen Qing about this, and he guessed it was because Bai Che was induced to give birth, and his body was weaker than ordinary people since he was a child. In the past few years, Chen Qing was afraid of being traced, so he has been living in seclusion, rarely contacting the outside world, this child rarely sees other people, and his temperament is much withdrawn." But is this a bit too withdrawn?From the time we met to now, the child hadn't even said a single word, even Chen Qing said that although Bai Che didn't talk much in the past, he could still say a few words, but now he was exceptionally silent.

The next day, a group of people set foot on the road to the north as usual. Since they came to the plains, the progress of everyone's journey was obviously faster. Apart from eating, Li Fuyue tried to get close to that child who didn't look like a child. He didn't say a word in front of everyone for a few days, which caused Yu Shi, Li Shu and others to think that Bai Che was a little dumb. Li Fuyue carefully observed him and noticed that he was not completely indifferent to the outside world. Bai Che was watching When it comes to her or Xiao Zhiwei, her emotions will always be more ups and downs, and a pair of bright black eyes stare at him like this, with probing and faint doubts in her eyes, as if she can't figure out something.

That night, as usual, Bai Che had to go back to the tent to sleep. This child was different from other children in other respects, but Jueduo was somewhat similar in this regard. He would go to bed every time, and he didn't need others to coax him.

"Little Bai Che, why do you stare at my sister from time to time?" Li Fuyue carefully squatted down and looked at him with a smile.

Bai Che stopped on his way to the tent, turned his head and looked at Li Fuyue seriously, as if he wanted to say something, but opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. Li Fuyue waited patiently for his answer.

"Your belly." Bai Che's voice was very soft, with the curiosity typical of a child, "it's bulging."

Li Fuyue touched her lower abdomen: "Tummy?"

Xu Shi hadn't opened his mouth for a long time, and Bai Che was still a little unaccustomed to it. He frowned and tried his best to organize his words: "Your belly is round, and it's different from other people's...Why? "

Li Fuyue's hand was still on her lower abdomen, her expression was soft and gentle: "Because my sister is pregnant with a child, and she will grow into a cute child like little Bai Che in the future."

Bai Che blinked those big clear eyes, a little puzzled: "Cute? Me?" Li Fuyue nodded in affirmation: "Of course, little Bai Che is very cute, we all like you very much."

Bai Che's long eyelashes drooped, and he seemed a little embarrassed. He pursed his thin lower lip, and asked again: "Is it like that child who can't walk?" One, this is What kind of quantifier? Li Fuyue knew that he was talking about Xiaozhiwei, but she also found it funny and amusing: "After the child is born, it will be like Xiaozhiwei. Only adults can take care of them, every child who can run and jump has been carefully taken care of by adults."

Bai Che blinked, and for the first time, those bright black eyes revealed a show-off look: "I can run and jump." As he spoke, little Bai Che started bouncing around on the spot. Twice, his frail and young body, which has not been exercising all year round, blushed slightly because of these few jumps, Bai Che stopped, and looked at Li Fuyue as if seeking praise.

Li Fuyue did not hesitate to praise: "Little Bai Che is awesome, if he eats well, he can grow taller and jump higher in the future." Little Bai Che lowered his eyes again, and looked up at Li Fuyue after a while, He just said: "Oh." He ran into the tent with short legs.

Li Fuyue stood up holding her stomach, with a rare brisk look on her face. She found that this child was not autistic, but just a little quiet and withdrawn. With patience, he could still guide him to talk normally, and she also knew that this seemingly indifferent child, He has a unique appreciation and curiosity about life. For a child, such feelings are undoubtedly valuable and conducive to the child's physical and mental growth.

Li Fuyue rubbed her lower abdomen, feeling a little funny, as if since she was pregnant, she has almost become an education expert.When returning to the tent, Li Fuyue told Zhou Dusheng about this, and Zhou Dusheng was also relieved. During this period of time, he also tried to get close to little Bai Che, but nothing went well. He looked bluffing with the mask on, but when he took off the mask, little Bai Che didn't even look at him, and was in a daze on his own, which made Zhou Dusheng feel a little frustrated, and was worried about the child's mental health for a while.

"Madam has been suffering during this time, and it is estimated that she will arrive in Panming City in five days. After she settles down, Madam will not have to suffer from such bumps." "I don't think there is any suffering." Li Fuyue really didn't feel that How hard and tiring, the child is extra worry-free. Although she travels a long distance, she is still in the carriage all the way, and she does not need to go down and walk by herself. Moreover, this is the first time she has traveled so far since she came to this ancient society. Trapped in one place rarely sees the scenery.

Li Fuyue's voice sounded again: "It's just that we don't know what's going on in Panming City, but I'm a little worried about that." Zhou Dusheng also frowned slightly: "We have dark lines waiting there, they haven't The bad news came, and it should be stable, at least much better than the towns we saw along the way." "That's true." Along the way, more and more refugees came from the rebellious areas in the south, some went west, and some Those who ran eastward, like Li Fuyue and his party, were not in the minority who ran all the way to the northeast.

The two fell asleep in a daze, but Li Fuyue woke up in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, the weather was extremely hot, and the air seemed thick and palpable. It was like being surrounded by a steamer. They were only sweating, and there was a cool breeze before they went to bed, and they slept under the thin quilt. Li Fuyue lifted the thin quilt that Zhou Dusheng was still covering, and stepped out of the tent by herself. The camp was quiet. , the quietness is a bit unusual, the original cool wind is gone, there are no clouds in the sky, and there are many stars in the night sky.

Zhou Dusheng also came out of the tent, with a cautious expression on his face: "It's unusual to be quiet tonight." It stands to reason that those guards are currently on watch, but now there is no sound, and the bonfire is not lit.

The tent next to it moved, and Li Miaoyue and Lu Yuan came out. Li Miaoyue wiped the sweat from her forehead: "The weather is really mysterious. It was cool before going to bed. Why is it so hot now? Hey, Fu Yue, you can't sleep either?"

"Well, he was woken up by the heat. Is Xiao Zhiwei still asleep?" Li Miaoyue nodded: "That child is not afraid of heat, and he is still asleep right now."

Li Fuyue looked around: "It's extremely hot and quiet tonight, Zhang Da and the others are not there." Zhang Da is one of the guards in charge of the night watch.Something suddenly fell in the air, Zhou Dusheng caught it with his hands, and twisted it with his hands, and it turned into ashes: "It's not good, let's go quickly and wake everyone up, remember to keep the noise down." .”

Li Miaoyue and Lu Yuan looked at each other, seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes, and hurriedly called someone to go.

"Husband, is this?"

"It's ashes. It should be on fire somewhere. It's just that the weather is abnormal. What's terrible is not the natural fire, but the artificial fire."

After Zhou Dusheng's explanation, Li Fuyue understood, what is artificial arson linked to in such a season?That is burning, killing and looting.Li Fuyue did not delay, and woke up those who were not sleeping soundly.

When everyone woke up and began to pack their things in a hurry, Zhang Da and others ran in from outside the camp in a panic: "Master, Master, hurry up! If you don't leave, it will be too late. The east side is already on fire. The people over there are robbing things everywhere!"
