Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 163 Care 1
Unexpectedly, the next morning, Da Ya and Shui Sheng went down the mountain, and as soon as they approached Tianjia Village (the village where Aunt Tian's family lived at the foot of the mountain), they realized that something was wrong.The village, which was originally very quiet, is now full of noise, with people walking around everywhere.

"Brother-in-law, you don't have martial arts, wait in the woods, I'll go check it out, and I'll be back soon!" Da Ya made a decisive decision, retreated with Shuisheng to the depths of the dense forest, and after a few words, she involuntarily used lightness kung fu to investigate the situation. up.

Shui Sheng was so anxious that he wanted to stop her, but before he could speak, she disappeared without a trace.In the anxious waiting, half an hour passed with difficulty, and finally she came back.

"How is it? What's the matter?" Shui Sheng rushed forward and asked anxiously.

"Brother-in-law, there are soldiers everywhere in this area for a few miles. Moreover, it seems that they are not the army of the imperial court, but the subordinates of Duke Huai. It seems that this is a rebel. I also saw Brother Tian. He said that the Tian family Many young and middle-aged men in the village were arrested.

"What? Brother Tian has been arrested? Is his family safe?" Shuisheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Brother Tian said that his family just went to Aunt Tian's natal house for a wedding a few days ago, and he stayed at home alone. Aunt Tian's natal house is more than ten miles away in the mountains, so he should be fine. He has already managed to return to the village. Several signs were left on the road, telling the family members not to go home."

"Oh, that's good! I didn't expect that Mr. Shui told everyone some time ago that we should agree on an emergency contact code. After I heard it, I mentioned it to Brother Tian when I went down the mountain, and he remembered it. And he agreed a code with his family so quickly. Oh, I hope his family can find out the code and return to his grandma's house!" Shui Sheng couldn't help feeling deeply, and was very worried for Brother Tian's family.

"Yeah, Brother Tian's skills are not bad. If he is alone, it is not difficult to find a chance to escape in this native mountain. However, if the whole family is under control, it is not difficult to escape. It won't be easy!" Da Ya thought deeply, and at the same time, she was very worried about her relatives who were far away in Shanqian Village and Mengjiazhuang.

Shui Sheng asked, "What? Are you worried about your family?"

The eldest girl nodded: "Yes, it seems that there must be an army of rebels stationed in the Shanqian Village area. I don't know if the eldest brother and Dongfeng have been arrested? Erya's belly should be big now, If Dongfeng is also taken away, what should we do? There are also Fifth Uncle's and Grandma's, and I don't know if everyone is safe and sound now?"

In terms of elder brother's martial arts, she wasn't really worried, but she was worried that Er Ya would have no one to take care of her.If you are frightened, sad, or have a miscarriage, it will be terrible!Also, grandma and grandpa are too old to run fast.

Shui Sheng was also very worried that Xiang Dong, Erya, Rao Shouqin, and Gu Yu's natal family could not show it in front of her, so that she would not be too worried, so he could only comfort him with a forced smile: "Don't worry too much, Xiang Dong Both Dong and Erya have martial arts. Although your father's martial arts is not very good, he still has the ability to deal with a few ordinary soldiers. Tan Hai's martial arts are also very good, and the Tan family lives in the back mountain. There is a trouble in the village, they can quickly hide in the mountains!"

"I hope so! As long as the person is fine!" Da Ya was worried, but there was nothing she could do, and the two quickly went back to the mountain.

Mengjiazhuang.

In the middle of the night that night, when Duke Huai's men came down to the village to catch dogs, Dongfeng heard all the dogs in the village barking, and immediately judged that the situation was not good, so he decisively took Erya into the underground secret room.

He listened to Da Ya's words.After the house was built, he began digging secret rooms and tunnels in full swing.The secret room was several feet square, and it was arranged as a spacious bedroom with a bed and enough food for two months.More than half of the tunnel has been dug, and with a few more days of hard work, the tunnel can be dug through.

The couple hid in the secret room, and when they heard the yelling and cursing from the ground, they couldn't help feeling lingering fear, and secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, they listened to the elder sister's words, otherwise, they would be in trouble!
The entrance to the secret room is under the Kang in the bedroom. Unless the Kang is smashed, there is almost no possibility of discovery.Entering from the bottom of the kang is a secret passage, and the real secret room is under the fruit trees in the backyard.

In the fruit grove, there are a few clumps of thorny roses, and through the cover of the roses, there are also hidden ventilation holes.In this way, people will not lack air in tunnels and secret rooms.

After hiding in the secret room for a day, without hearing any noise on the ground, Dongfeng told his younger brother: "You and your third sister-in-law stay here carefully, and pay attention to the movement on the ground. If you have anything to do, come and find me immediately." I, I'm going to dig the tunnel now!"

Laifeng nodded obediently: "Understood, third brother, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister-in-law!"

"Good boy!" Dongfeng patted his younger brother's little head distressedly, gave Erya a few words of advice, and then walked towards the end of the tunnel.

well!Fortunately, the child in Erya's womb has not yet been born, otherwise, as long as the child cries, it will attract those bad guys.

After a few more days, the tunnel was finally dug through.Dongfeng went out to the ground to scout the situation late at night, which shocked him a lot.In this dark night, when he went out for a walk, there was not a single dog barking in the village.He quietly went to Mrs. Pan's house, went in over the wall, and knocked on the window of Mu Sheng's bedroom.

Mu Sheng is the son of Mrs. Pan.

"Who is it?" It was Mu Sheng's wife who asked the question.

Dongfeng hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, it's me, I'm Dongfeng!"

"Oh, Dongfeng, Mu Sheng is not at home. If this is the case, you go to the hall and sit for a while, and I will go to the hall with my in-laws to find you after a while!" Mu Sheng's wife hurriedly said.

"Alright, thank you!" Dong Feng hurriedly fled to the hall as soon as he heard that Mu Sheng was not there.Hey, my husband is not here, and he knocks on a woman's window in the middle of the night to let her know, but it will be troublesome!
Mrs. Mu Sheng dressed quickly and got up, then knocked on the windows of her parents-in-law, and shouted in a low voice: "Father, mother, the east wind is coming, it seems that there is something important, you should get up quickly!"

"Okay, come!" Mrs. Pan was sleeping very alertly, and woke up when she knocked for the first time.

Mrs. Mu Sheng was waiting at the door, and went to see Dongfeng with her parents-in-law. It was late at night and her husband was not at home, so it was difficult for her to be alone with a young man.Although the parents-in-law are very sensible, they still sail carefully, lest they be misunderstood, which would be bad.

"Dongfeng, what happened at the door so late at night?" Mrs. Pan couldn't help asking as she was still at the entrance of the hall.

Dongfeng was a little ashamed: "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you so late! It's like this. Erya, Laifeng and I hid in the mountains for a few days, and didn't dare to come out during the day. So, I came to the village at night. Find out about the situation. By the way, where is Mu Sheng? Isn't Mu Sheng at home?"

Aunt Pan sighed and began to wipe her tears: "Mu Sheng was arrested by the strong man. I heard that he was captured by the rebel army. Otherwise, our family would not be able to survive. Several families in the village, because they resisted the arrest of the strong man, All the men and women in the family were beaten to death on the spot, and all the women were taken away, and I don’t know what to do with them!" In all likelihood, those women would be ruined.

"Huh? Mu Sheng was taken away? People were beaten to death in the village? Damn it, it's extremely hateful!" Dongfeng was startled and angry when he heard it.

Aunt Pan said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, almost all the young and middle-aged people in this village who had no time to escape have been arrested! If you don't obey, your family will suffer. Who dares to resist? There is no other way, Mu Sheng has no choice but to be obedient. Obedient, go with those people!"

Mrs. Musheng cried in a low voice: "Woooo, I don't know what will happen after I go here? I don't know if I will come back..." The sadness in my heart was surging, and I wanted to cry a lot, but Fear of being heard.These days, life is so hard, but I don't even have the right to cry.It is said that the whole area of ​​hundreds of miles was occupied by rebels. In the ancestral hall of Mengjiazhuang, there were only a hundred or so soldiers stationed.

"Hey, in this world, do you still let people live?" Mu Sheng's father sighed deeply and helplessly, his face was full of sorrow and exhaustion.Moreover, the three of them looked like they hadn't eaten enough, and their faces were full of dishes.

"Auntie, uncle, is there enough food for the family?" After thinking about it, Dongfeng asked with concern.

Aunt Pan wiped her tears and sighed: "Where is enough? When those people came to arrest Mu Sheng, they even searched for the food in the house! Not only that, if I didn't hide your sister-in-law in the water tank at that time If so, it is estimated that your sister-in-law will also be taken away. Many men in the village were arrested, and although the elderly and children in the family survived, the younger women were all taken away."

Oh, sin!There are not a single one of those who are a little better looking, girls over 12 years old and under 40 years old, who have no time to hide.It was Mu Sheng's daughter-in-law who hid in the cellar during the day and only dared to come out at night.After all, the cellar was very stuffy, and it would be easier to sleep in the room at night.

"It's all gone? Then, what are you eating these few days?" Dongfeng was shocked, and couldn't help being extremely grateful. Fortunately, he had listened to the elder sister's words and built a secret room and a tunnel at home.Otherwise, whether he was taken away or Erya was taken away, his little family would be ruined!Little brother Laifeng is about to become an orphan that no one wants!

Aunt Pan sighed: "Isn't it spring now? There are some wild vegetables growing in the field, and what we eat these days is wild vegetables mixed with rice bran. Alas, what a crime! We adults can still boil it, but the children may not be able to do it." How long will it last?"

Ouch, so pitiful!
Dongfeng's eyes were red and his heart was sour when he heard it, and he said quickly: "Uncle and aunt, wait a moment, I will come as soon as I go!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for their consent, he quickly disappeared into the dark night.

"What does this kid want to do?" the uncle asked suspiciously.

Aunt Pan wiped her tears and guessed: "Maybe, you are going back to carry food to our family?"

The uncle shook his head, and said in disbelief: "Hey, you still carry food? You have to carry words, how big and heavy is that bag? At this moment, who will have so much food? Can I give you ten catties, That's pretty good!"

"It's true, those rebels are so cruel and unscrupulous, how much food can anyone keep?" Mrs. Pan was in despair, she knew that if she could help, Dongfeng would definitely help.Dongfeng and Musheng are as close as brothers, and Musheng's wife is also very kind to Erya, and she takes good care of Erya.

However, you can only give it if you have it yourself!If people don't have a few catties of food themselves, how much can they give to outsiders?Not to mention, Dongfeng also has his father, mother, elder brother and second brother. Their family has so many mouths, and Dongfeng is an honest boy. Can he ignore the big family members?

However, it didn't take long for Dongfeng to return.Seeing the big bag of grain he brought, the three of them were stunned.

Whoops, I really went to get food, and I really brought it here!This child has such a good heart, the care he has taken in the past is not in vain!In this extraordinary period, people who know how to repay their kindness are rare!The most important thing is that in the past, the favors that their family gave Dongfeng were only small favors.You know, this big bag of grain is worth ten taels of silver now, so I'm afraid it won't be possible to buy it!
