Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 519 Your father is dead?

Jiang Li came at the appointed time, and the child even changed his clothes when he came.

It is new clothes, but the hands and feet are a bit short, it feels like wearing a set of tight three-quarter sleeves.

He was a bit reserved, completely lacking the slickness and cleverness of selling goods.

Seeing that Shen Xiao had hitched the carriage, Jiang Li said that he could drive the carriage, so Shen Xiao was happy to stay in the carriage with Yin Tao.

"Children, people on the street are afraid to sell us things, for fear that they will be involved with us and be implicated if pirates and Japanese bandits find out, aren't you afraid?

I know you want to repay your kindness, but aren't you afraid of your family's safety? "Yin Tao opened the curtain of the carriage and hung it aside, leaned against the door, and leaned out half of her body to ask Jiang Li.

"I'm afraid, but my mother said that we are human beings, so we can't stop working as human beings just because we are afraid. We are poor, but we have to live like human beings."

"Besides, there are too many sea bandits and Japanese bandits here, and we can live safely and securely without shrinking our necks and being careful.

Japanese bandits and sea bandits have come ashore, they will kill anyone they see, but they will not judge whether you are against them. "Of course, if they are right, their spies will find an opportunity to kill people in peacetime, and then hang the head or the naked body on the gate, so the people on the shore are so afraid of these pirates. .

In this city, the neighbors who greet you with a smile every day might be the eyes and ears of bandits.

They want to earn money, but also to survive, the court can't control their life and death, so they can only find their own way to survive, as time goes by...

The several prefectural cities along the East China Sea are not so much the territory of the imperial court as they are the territory of Japanese bandits and sea bandits.

"Your mother thinks clearly." Yin Tao sighed.

Hearing Yin Tao praised his mother, Jiang Li was very happy. He smiled and said, "My mother knows a lot. She is very knowledgeable. She is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." It's a pity...the tendon in her hand was picked off later. It's just... I can't hold a paintbrush anymore.

Jiang Li drove the carriage into a very dirty and crowded alley, and when he drove the carriage back, neighbors immediately surrounded him: "Ah Li, where did you get the carriage?"

"Oh, Ah Li, you are so developed that you can afford a carriage, look at how smooth this horse is, don't lie to you.

Ari, tell Uncle honestly, is there a new way to get money? "

"I definitely didn't buy this carriage. Did Ari work as a coachman for some other family?"

"Hey, I smelled the smell of meat coming from Ari's house early today. Is there a distinguished guest at Ari's house?"

The road was blocked by these neighbors, Jiang Li was not angry, he smiled and said: "Uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers all guessed wrong, this carriage belongs to my benefactor's family, and I didn't serve as a driver for anyone.

Didn’t I almost get killed by pirates at the gate of the yamen today? The martyrs who killed Jianglong rescued me. I’m asking my benefactor to go home for dinner! "

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

The crowded alley was emptied in an instant, and the door slammed shut one after another.

"Little guy, it sounds bad, you can obviously hide it!" Yin Tao smiled with her lips curled up. Oh, the people in Suzhou Prefecture really regard them as plague gods.

It's a bit sad to say it, obviously they killed the vicious pirate leader, but the common people avoided them like snakes and scorpions.

But looking back, the people are actually not wrong, what can they do if ants steal their lives?

As long as the imperial court can do a little bit and protect some people a little bit, they will not say that they are so afraid of those bandits, nor will they say that they bow to the evil forces on a large scale.

are forced.

They are timid, they are indifferent, and they are numb, just because they say that there is only the word "survival" left in some pursuits.

"You can't hide it, so just be more generous." Jiang Li said.

Their family lived at the end of the alley, a low adobe house with a very low courtyard wall, so they couldn't guard against people at all.

There are a lot of weeds growing in the corner of the wall, and there are bougainvillea branches coming out of the courtyard wall. The large purple red is mixed with dots of green, which is very incompatible with this dirty and narrow alley.

"My mother likes flowers and plants. My father planted this bougainvillea for my mother when he was alive... Later, I dug it up and moved it here."

"Your father is dead? How did you die?" Yin Tao followed his words and asked the boss, not feeling at all that this was poking the child's heart.

She felt that Jiang Li's tolerance should be relatively strong.

"Killed by the Japanese bandits. My father was the county magistrate of Quping County. He was killed by the Japanese bandits who came ashore." Jiang Li said, "My father has been dead for several years." He added.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Yin Tao knew that the child had long accepted the reality.

After entering the door, Yin Tao saw that although the yard was small, it was well cleaned, and the Yishun flower garden beside the wall was also well maintained, without any weeds in it.

The three little radish heads who were malnourished just by looking at them stood in the yard, looking at Yin Tao and Shen Xiao very cautiously.

They huddled together, and when they saw the two of them entered the door, they knelt down together with them: "Thank you benefactor for saving brother." The voice was milky, and Yin Tao's heart softened inexplicably.

This feeling.

very strange.

This was Yin Tao's first time outside, because the stranger was soft-hearted.

She didn't like this feeling very much.

"Didn't you tell us to invite us to dinner?" Yin Tao didn't look at the three little dumplings, but turned to ask Jiang Li.

Hmm... She is still that cruel Yin Tao!
Jiang Li hurriedly said: "You two benefactors, please sit down first, and I will cook two more dishes!" There was a table and a few stools in the yard. On the table was a large plate of peanuts and melon seeds. There is a small jar of wine.

"Engong drinks tea first. I made this honeysuckle tea myself, and our family planted the flowers." Jiang Li said while the little girl who was a head shorter than him held the teapot and poured tea for them. "This is my elder sister Jiang Ru, my younger sister Jiang Tang, and my younger brother Jiang Han."

Shen Xiao only nodded, Yin Tao hummed perfunctorily, but still couldn't help but look at the three children.

The three of them stood neatly in a row, curious to see them, but also very reserved and shy, their little cheeks were all red, very cute.

What the hell!

After the word 'cute' popped up in her heart, Yin Tao thought in horror.

Shen Xiao raised his hand and rubbed her head, his originally tense cold face suddenly warmed up, how could Xiao Taozi's reaction escape his eyes?
This is looking at the cuteness of other people's children, so I want to give birth to him!

Shen Xiao thought very narcissistically.

The children saw that Shen Xiao smiled, and when he smiled, the terrifying aura lingering around him immediately dissipated, and the three children were not so afraid of him anymore.

But still restrained.

Shen Xiao helped a group peel melon seeds and peanuts, several children swallowed their saliva dryly, but no one reached out to take them.

"You two go to the house to take care of mother, I will go to the dining room to help my brother." Not so afraid of Shen Xiao, Jiang Ru pushed the two younger siblings to the main house, swallowing saliva in front of the benefactor, so rude what.
