The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 154: The Gratitude Report
Xu Shi didn't have familiar parents or relatives around, and the children were crying with snot and tears. The elder child was quite sensible. Although he looked terrified, he still held the children in his arms, imitating his mother's usual way, He patted Xiaowa on the back.

"Songzi, don't cry, mother will come to pick us up soon."

"Goudan, I'll give you candy when I get home."

It's a pity that the children can understand it, and the crying is even more heartbreaking.

Just when the middle-aged man outside the door couldn't bear it anymore, his ears suddenly moved, and he opened the door.

The unlucky Lu Er Er sent the children off twice, and just ran back to the mountain to find that the wind and the sea were calm.It's like using all your strength to hit the air with a fist.

Lu's second son was so annoyed that he jumped and yelled a few words, and the joyful old man Lu slapped him and led someone to pick up the child again.

Seeing the master's face as black as the bottom of a pot at this moment, it was rare for him to be clever and quickly approached with a flattering smile, "Oh, master, the disaster at the bottom of the mountain is over. Let's take the children away!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand, he didn't even enter the house, and pointed directly at the door.

Lu Er Er hurriedly led people in, and almost all the villagers who came with him were the fathers of the children, and they were warmly welcomed by the children almost as soon as they entered the house.

This one laughed and called daddy, that one cried out loudly, and finally put the children in wicker baskets and wrapped them tightly, it was already half an hour later.

Lu's second child was afraid that his master would take his anger out on him, so he hurriedly led people away.Fortunately, he still had a conscience, so he threw it all the way, "Master, I left you two jars of wine in the house, and my sister smoked rabbits and chickens. Someday I will come and steal some more for you." !"

The middle-aged man had heard the first few sentences, and his expression was not bad, but the word "steal" at the end made him black again.Thinking back to the time when he was scolded out of the house for the first time in his life, a flame rose in his heart.

"Boom!" The two doors of the adobe house were tightly closed, as if those embarrassing things could be left outside and blown away by the wind and snow...

The Zhao family in the west of Laoxiong Ling had just closed the gate of the courtyard. The old man Zhao and his two sons were all blue and blue from the cold. They wanted to take off their sheepskin jackets, but their hands were trembling and they couldn't move.

The old lady Zhao and her two daughters-in-law were so distressed that they hurried forward to pass the wine bottle, and finally helped take off the leather jacket.

Old man Zhao gulped down the spirits and passed them to his two sons.

The old lady pushed him to the stove, and then asked cautiously, "How is it, old man, let's go to her husband's house three times..."

The old lady was the most soft-hearted, and she sighed halfway through her speech. Although she asked, she actually had no hope in her heart.Hundreds of elite soldiers attacked, no matter how tough the people in Laoxiongling were, they might not be able to withstand it.At this moment, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses were strewn all over the ground.

Unexpectedly, the old man waved his hand and ordered, "Hurry up and call Sanya and his wife out, Lao Xiongling is fine!"

"never mind?"

The two daughters-in-law were curious and asked, "Didn't those officers and soldiers say to catch traitors? I was behind the house earlier, and I saw them pass by. Those knives and guns are too scary."

"Yeah, what's going on?"

The old lady was still worried, "Did Lao Xiongling use money? Let Sanyaer and his wife hide for another two days, in case those officers and soldiers come here again, it's not a joke."

Boss Zhao is simple and honest, and second brother Zhao speaks sharply, so they talked to my mother for a while, and finally said, "We heard the cheers from the folks in Laoxiongling, and then some people went to the mountains to pick up people, so we turned back. Don't worry, mother. Call my sister up, it's not warm in the cellar either."

"Hey, good, good!"

The old lady was relieved when she heard what the old man and son said, and hurried outside to call her daughter and grandson.

Sure enough, although there was a brazier in the cellar, I still knew that my daughter and grandson were turning blue.

Before the family could say a few more words, they heard a knock on the door.

Boss Zhao asked carefully before opening the door.

Aunt Liu came in with two villagers. Seeing that Zhao Sanya and her mother were safe, she thanked the Zhao family, "Sanya's man and father-in-law have gone to the south to build a workshop. But when I'm old, I'll be entrusted to pick him up. Don't worry about your in-laws, they will give birth in another day, and let Sanyaer and his wife come back."

Seeing that everyone in Lao Xiongling valued their daughter and grandson so much, the Zhao family had no time to rejoice, and they would not be able to argue, so they exchanged warm greetings very cordially.

Aunt Liu looked at the bows and arrows and leather jackets on the table, so she couldn't help asking a few more questions.Hearing that the Zhao family's youngest daughter-in-law mentioned that a man from the Zhao family went over the mountain to Laoxiongling to investigate the situation, Aunt Liu and the two villagers were grateful.

"Brother Zhao, we, Old Xiongling, have accepted this kindness. I am in a hurry today, and I will come back another day to thank you."

"My family, it's time to help. What's more, I haven't helped yet!"

Mr. Zhao did his duty, seeing that his daughter was returning home like an arrow, he said, "Let's go back first, as long as everyone is fine."

Aunt Liu took the three girls to the sledge, and the two villagers drove the horses away quickly.

Such things happened one after another in several villages and towns outside Bei'an Prefecture that night.He was in a hurry when he came to escape, but he was quick when he went back.

It's so fast that people just think that everything is just a dream.

And the inspection team that rushed back to the state capital overnight also provoked the curiosity of the entire Bei'an state to an unprecedented height.But they couldn't get out of the city, so no one dared to go to the government office to ask these soldiers how many hunters they killed in Laoxiongling.

This night, I don't know how many people didn't sleep well.

When I got up early the next morning, the teahouses began to be full, especially the one opposite the government office.

No matter when and where, the power of gossip is powerful.There are insiders in the self-sufficient government office, and they found an excuse early on to send people in to inquire.And those who have no power, but have enough staff at home, actually braved the wind and snow to go outside Laoxiongling to visit.

Soon, the news from all parties was gathered in one place.

"Every chimney on Laoxiong Ridge is smoking. It looks the same as usual, it doesn't look like it has suffered a military disaster!"

"My lord, I have asked the officials in the government office. They said that the eldest son and the young master of the Tang family were suddenly seriously ill, and all the soldiers were under the command of the school lieutenant. But Mr. Zhao was very happy to see it. He hugged him last night. Watching my little concubine go all over the place, she actually set up a banquet when she got up early."

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, "This...what is the reason for this? Could it be that the people of Old Xiongling used some evil or witchcraft to directly curse the son?"

"Then Master Zhao is so happy, how do you explain it?"

"You ask me, how do I know!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and for a while, the roof of the teahouse was almost torn off.But the old shopkeeper was not annoyed at all, he was very busy calling for the young man to serve tea, and hoped that Lao Xiongling would not let it go, and if he made such a big deal a few more times, his business would be even better Up a floor.

At noon, when everyone felt that they couldn't guess the reason and got up to go home, there was another news.

"I heard that people from Old Xiongling give gifts everywhere?"

"Gifts? Is it because he is afraid that the son of the world will undo the curse and ask them to settle the score?"

"No, I heard that the recipients have daughters married to Lao Xiongling, and they took in their daughters and Lao Xiongling's children yesterday. This is Lao Xiongling's gratitude!"

"Ah, so that's the case. However, since Lao Xiongling has started giving gifts, is he sure that nothing will happen to his family? How did you solve yesterday's incident?"

After all, there are still capable people, spent a lot of money, and finally found out the news from the government office. It turned out that the governor Zhao himself told the people below, "It was all a misunderstanding, and Lao Xiongling did not harbor spies. Master Tang and Young Master Tang felt that they had made a mistake and caused this turmoil, and they were very guilty, and they couldn't stand the cold weather, so they contracted the cold and fell ill in bed."

Although this sentence can't explain everything, it is finally reasonable, and it comes from the mouth of the highest parent official in Bei'an Prefecture, which calms everyone's curiosity.

Of course, this does not include those smart people.But if he wanted to inquire more, there was no more news in the government office, and even two attendants who were inquiring at the front and back doors of the government office were beaten up by the soldiers.

So, this matter was completely exposed.

Old Xiongling escaped a catastrophe. Some people are curious about this matter, some people are happy, and some people regret it.

After Aunt Liu went back last night, she explained clearly the righteous deeds of Master Zhao's three.The whole Old Xiongling didn't know that they had reinforcements nearby last night.This made everyone feel inexplicably grateful, after all, there are too many icing on the cake in this world, and too little help in need.

Early this morning, Xiaomi picked up the people from his tribe who had been with him for the first time. They hid next to the hot spring where they drowned in the bath.

Xiaomi drove them to the foot of the mountain, and stayed in Lu Laoer's yard as usual, and helped patrol and guard the mountain pass on weekdays, so he didn't have to be idle.

Although the villagers didn't have any affection for these prairie people, they didn't blame them for the catastrophe.After all, Wei Desheng and Tang Ershao mostly coveted the cornucopia of greenhouses.

The mountain people have not read any books, but they have clear grievances and grievances.

Xiaomi personally took Aunt Han to pick out some items in the warehouse, packed them properly, and then sent a few groups of villagers out.

The children who went out to hide from the disaster yesterday, and those whose grandfather or father was at home, all went to thank their in-laws for taking them in.

Here at Zhao's house, Old Master Feng brought people to the door in person.

Two bolts of silk, two bolts of muslin cloth, two boxes of snacks, two pieces of meat, two jars, two packs of tea leaves, plus ten taels of silver were neatly placed on the Zhao family's table, which shocked the Zhao family to refuse repeatedly.

"No way, Old Uncle Feng, don't say that Sanya'er is my daughter, even if she lives in the neighbor's house. When something happens, it's okay to help."

Old Master Feng stroked his beard, smiled and waved his hands, "That's not true, adversity sees people's hearts. In this catastrophe, some in-laws did things that made people feel cold, but your family is kind and righteous. These gifts are from our old Xiongling. Your thoughts. You keep it!"

The Zhao family lived in poverty. The two daughters-in-law saw that the silk and satin were bright and colorful, and they would look good if they were made into a small jacket. Ten taels of silver is a whole year's expenses for the family.

They couldn't help but keep staring at their father-in-law and mother-in-law, for fear that they would really push this generous gift away.

The old couple of the Zhao family looked at each other, they both stood up and saluted Old Master Feng, and at the end they didn't refuse any more.
