Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 138 Marriage 1
She also remembered that the maids and mother-in-law of Qiao's family had specially introduced this store to her, and they all said that the shoes and socks in this store were not only durable, but also very comfortable.Immediately, I was very proud, and I bought hundreds of pairs at once, ranging from one-year-old puppies to five- and sixty-year-olds. I bought shoes of all ages. I plan to buy them back as gifts for relatives, friends and friends. family.

Such favorite shoes and socks are hard to find, at least not in Hulu County.She has seen her mother and cousin make shoes and knit socks. It is very cumbersome, especially making a pair of shoes requires several processes, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the efficiency is still very low.So, I simply gave up twenty taels of silver and bought a lot of shoes to go home, so as to save my mother and cousin from staying up late under the oil lamp in order to make shoes.

However, after returning to Hulu County from Fucheng, she has been very busy and forgot all the shoes and socks in the warehouse of the space.Fortunately, she forgot about it at the time, otherwise, she would be worried now.According to her estimate, neither she nor Zhenxing could get out of this deep mountain and old forest until Zhenxing turned five years old.

On the way Princess Xiang's people sent her here, as soon as she entered the mountain, she woke up.Along the way, she realized very clearly that at least fifty towering mountains had been climbed, and twenty-odd rivers had been waded.At this moment, she should be in the hinterland of the mountains in the southwest. Before her legs fully recovered, it was basically impossible for her to leave the southwest with a child under the age of five!

Right now, her space is still in its infancy state, and living creatures cannot be left alone in the space for more than half an hour.In other words, if she leaves the space, she must return to the space within half an hour.Otherwise, Xiao Zhenxing's life would be in danger, and he would suffocate to death due to poor breathing.

About this point, she read it from the space manual.Naturally, she believed it deeply, she didn't dare to risk Xiao Zhenxing's life, she didn't dare to think about it at all.On this issue, it is natural to prefer to believe what is there or not to believe what is not!

In other words, after the family hid in Shuisheng's house for five days, Xiangdong finally couldn't hold back.They met Yunwu and went down the mountain secretly, went back to Shanqian Village, and quietly found the patriarch's house.

The old patriarch sat in the courtyard with his eyes closed to rest his mind, basking in the sun by the way, his eyes were blindfolded by a pair of cold hands.Immediately, my heart jumped with fright, and I thought to myself, could it be that those men in black who harmed Da Ya's family last time came back to do bad things again?

Seeing that his face turned pale and his hands trembled, Xiang Dong knew something was wrong, so he quickly moved his hands away and said in shame, "Grandpa Patriarch, it's me, I'm Xiang Dong! Don't be afraid, I'm Xiang Dong! "

Yun Wu also hurriedly said: "Grandpa Patriarch, and me, I am Yun Wu!"

The old patriarch opened his eyes suddenly, squinted and saw that it was Xiangdong and Yunwu, so he couldn't help but slapped his right leg vigorously: "Oh, you two little brats, you really surprised me!" , What are you doing sneakily? You want to scare someone to death! Do you know that people scare people, scare people to death!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The brothers quickly apologized sincerely, but couldn't help but slander: Who would sleep in the sun before lunch?
The patriarch seemed to know what they were thinking, and waved his hands in a funny way: "Oh, for the past five days, I can't sleep well every night. I can't help but worry that the man in black will come again to do bad things, even kill people Set fire, there is no other way, so we have to sleep during the day and get enough energy to prevent people from sneaking at night. The village guards are now divided into three shifts, and there are people patrolling day and night, and they dare not relax at all!"

The eyes of the old man were full of sadness and worry: "Oh, I don't know how this kid is doing now?"

Xiangdong's eye circles turned red instantly, tears welled up, and he apologized choked up: "Grandpa, it's our family who has troubled the villagers and caused everyone's peace. There is 50 taels of silver here, grandpa keeps it, let's see which one The village guards have a strong sense of responsibility and are diligent, so they will be given a little bonus! Without material rewards, honest people will lose motivation after a long time!"

"You child, keep the money for yourself. It's not easy for your family right now. Don't spend it indiscriminately, save a little, save it for the family to buy food and supplies, and you need a lot of money to go west!" The old patriarch also endured. His eyes were wet, and he refused to accept the money.

Xiangdong's attitude was more resolute than his, and he couldn't help but put the small purse into the patriarch's pocket, and said with a tearful smile: "Grandpa, don't worry about the tuition fee for Xiangxi, Da Ya has already given it to Xiangxi." 500 taels of silver for each of Yunshan and Yunshan as the tuition fee. 500 taels of silver is not a small amount of money, and when they become officials in the future, they will still have enough money to take care of their appointments!"

"Yes, grandpa, don't worry, 500 taels of silver is enough to support Xiangxi and Yunshan for more than ten years!" Yunwu also quickly helped Xiangdong persuade.

"Oh, that's it! Then you really don't have to worry! But you should take this money back. It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out for a while. It's always good to have more spare money!" The old patriarch took it out of his pocket. Taking out the money bag and wanting to return it, he felt that Xiang Dong's family was in trouble, and he couldn't help much, and he couldn't be greedy for his family's money.If so, what has he become?If people knew about it, they might not know how to underestimate him!
Xiangdong waved his hand and said sincerely: "Grandpa, don't be polite when you are old. Outside the house, Da Ya has already made proper arrangements before. With parents, she also gave money for the elderly, and also gave me money. It’s not a small amount of living expenses. So, grandpa, don’t refuse, just accept it! Otherwise, my parents will scold me if they find out!”

"Okay, okay, that's good! Then I'll be cheeky and accept it!" The old patriarch said, and couldn't help crying, and his voice was a little choked.

"Grandpa, we came here specially to check on the situation. We are relieved to know that everyone in the village is fine! Grandpa, we still have to visit grandma's house, so we won't stay any longer! Grandpa, take care , when the wind blows, we will come back to live!"

The two brothers bid farewell to the old patriarch, and went to the back mountain to visit their grandma's family. After having lunch at their grandma's house, they left 50 taels of silver, repeatedly reminded them, and the two hurried back to the mountains.

Originally, I wanted to go to the county seat, but considering that I was leaving without saying goodbye this time, I had to stay overnight in the city tonight.Fearing that the family members would be worried, the two hesitated and went back to the mountains.

Because they didn't know the situation, no one dared to go back to Shanqian Village rashly, so they had to continue to live in the mountains.A month passed in a flash. On this day, shopkeeper Su and Chang An suddenly rushed back from other places and knocked on the door of the fifth uncle's house.

"Shopkeeper Su, Chang'an, didn't you go back to your hometown to visit relatives? Didn't you say you would come back in May next year? It's almost the Chinese New Year now, why didn't you stay in your hometown to celebrate the New Year? Could it be, what happened?" Uncle Wu couldn't help being taken aback by the haggard and worried faces of the two, and said to himself: Oh, what a troubled winter!
Shopkeeper Su burst into tears before saying a word, and his voice was hoarse and sad: "Did you find the child now?"

Chang'an also looked at Uncle Wu with piercing eyes, full of anticipation, hoping very much to hear the answer he wanted from Uncle Wu's mouth.

"I don't know, there is no news! I heard that Master Qiao personally took many people to the mountains in the southwest to look for Da Ya. So far, there is no news. They don't even know that Master Qiao went to the southwest to find someone. If you find out, you must follow! However, Young Master Qiao also left us a message, so we must not reveal it to Xiang Dong and the others. Even if Xiang Dong and the others find out, we must stop them."

Uncle Wu sighed and said helplessly.

Shopkeeper Su asked in surprise: "Why? Why didn't Xiangdong and the others know? Wouldn't it be better and more hopeful for multiple people to look for Da Ya?"

Chang An listened to it, and suddenly felt fear: Master Qiao's behavior is a bit weird, so it seems that there must be a lot of bad luck for Da Ya!
The fifth uncle said with a sad face: "Master Qiao told me in private that the possibility of Da Ya's survival is very small. He took people to look for him, but he just wanted to do his best. If he doesn't try his best, He will regret his whole life, and he will die with regret. He also said that everything has happened to Da Ya now, whether it is the Tan family or the Rao family, they can no longer afford a greater loss. Whether it is Xiang Dong, Whether it is Yunwu or Xiaohai, they are the pillars of the three families.

In the deep mountains and old forests in the southwest, there are many places with miasma, a large number of snakes and insects, and a lot of wolves, tigers and leopards.If the three of them also went to the southwest to find someone, once something happened, the elders in the family might not be able to bear it anymore!Besides, Hulu County also needs enough manpower to find Da Ya.So I simply concealed the news about the southwest side, so that Xiangdong and the others could stay in Hulu County, looking for Da Ya, and at the same time appease the hearts of the elders. "

During this period of time, Xiang Dong, Yun Wu and Tan Hai have basically been running outside, searching for traces of Daya in the deep mountains of Hulu County.This was the result of Qiao Junyi's intentional guidance.

In line with the principle of "you can't put all your eggs in one basket at the same time", besides not wanting Xiangdong and the others to venture to the southwest, Qiao Junyi was also afraid that Da Ya would be thrown to the deep mountains in the southwest. In fact, they were thrown into the deep mountains in Hulu County.

If so, it would be terrible!It was also out of consideration in this regard that it was decided to keep the news that Daya was probably still in the deep mountains and old forests in the southwest strictly concealed.

Moreover, before Qiao Junyi went to the southwest, he also arranged five teams to find people in the deep mountains of Hulu County, each team had ten people.Of course, the [-] search teams who cast their nets widely and scattered throughout the Qingshuijiang area still continued their previous mission.The people he took to the southwest were another group of people, and many of them were the sons and daughters of Qiao's family with extraordinary skills.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Shopkeeper Su sighed deeply, embarrassingly.

Big girl, where are you?You must take care of yourself, and you must come back alive. Suber believes that you will not be so fragile, and you will not fall down so easily!
Chang An said: "The princess went back to the capital, and I heard that the princess offended the empress dowager, and was abolished as a princess. So, you don't have to hide anymore, you can go home."

This news, of course, shopkeeper Su deliberately inquired about the news through the people in Jicuilou.Although he left the Jicui building and drew a clear line with the Ren family, the contacts he had accumulated in the Ren family and the JC building in the past few decades still exist.There are not a few friends who treat him as before, and it is very easy for him to learn some well-known news about the capital.

He only learned of the news that Princess Fang was abolished on the way from his hometown to Hulu County.As for the matter of Da Ya, Qiao Junyi sent someone to tell him, hoping that he could return as soon as possible, and maybe he could help Da Ya's family a little.

Shopkeeper Su and Chang'an stayed at Uncle Wu's house temporarily, and Uncle Wu got into the bullock cart alone and went to report to Shui Sheng's house.When Xiang Dong and Yun Wu heard that the poor princess had been deposed, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After discussing with each other, they persuaded their family members to go down the mountain and go home.
