Chapter 16: Chapter 16
Without talking all the way, Li Dahai and his party finally arrived at Nancheng.

Ye Zhiqiu only felt that her bones had been knocked apart, and she was brought before County Magistrate Zhao without allowing her to catch her breath.

Zhao Mingzhi, who had been in a state of anxiety, looked at the boy in front of him.

He was small and thin, with pale skin and large eyes.

A wound on his face made him look a bit hideous.

Seeing the young servant clutching his legs and preparing to kneel down to salute, Magistrate Zhao hurriedly supported his arm to get him up.

"I see that your leg seems to be injured, so there is no need to be polite."

Ye Zhiqiu took advantage of the situation and stood up, bowed his hands to the white-faced scholar in front of him.

The county magistrate was about 30 years old, with a beautiful beard and a gentle manner, but he was somewhat majestic under the official robe.

He turned around and walked back to the main seat, sat down and said: "My little boy, please tell me a little about the specific situation of the border town."

Ye Zhiqiu could only recount what he said to Li Dahai and the others.

In the end, she still made a point.

"The little one went out of the city all the way, and saw that the high gate compound was slaughtered. I'm afraid these barbarians have stepped on it before."

Zhao Mingzhi stared at her for a while.

………………

Ye Zhiqiu was very tired.

After standing for a long time, the injuries on her thighs became more and more painful. After hearing the situation, the county magistrate Zhao didn't speak for a long time, and didn't let her back down. She could only stand stupidly.

Ye Zhiqiu silently lowered his head and looked at his toes.

You can't be too outstanding in your work, she won't stay in Nan County for too long, so it's better to be more cautious.

a long time.

A muffled voice was heard overhead.

"Do you have a shelter in Nancheng?"

"My lord, the little one escaped from the border town. He was going to visit relatives in Su Zhuang, but when he left the city gate, he was brought here by Brother Li and the others. So there is no shelter."

"That's it, Li Dahai, this child will be placed by you."

"Yes, my lord." Li Dahai replied hastily.

"Go down."

"Yes."

Li Dahai and Ma Dong bowed and retreated.

Ye Zhiqiu also bowed to Mr. Zhao, and walked out limping.

Looking at Xia Mu's leaving back, Zhao Mingzhi's eyes were dim. This child's narrative is clear and his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing. Is he really a servant in Huichuntang?
——————————

After coming out, Ye Zhiqiu saw Li Dahai and others waiting outside.

She clasped her hands together and said, "Then please trouble me more."

Li Hai walked forward silently.

Ma Dong frowned at her: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Xiazi."

He pouted at Li Dahai, and said in a low voice: "He just has a cold face and a warm heart."

I don't know if his face is cold and his heart is hot, but this Li Dahai probably has many doubts about his identity.

However, this Ma Dong is careless. It seems that he can be entrusted with some things.

Li Dahai brought them to Yingkeju, the three of them ran around for more than a day, and they didn't even get a single grain of rice. After finishing all their affairs, it was natural to have a meal first.

There were various temptations during the meal, but who was Ye Zhiqiu?
The ancestors who spoke nonsense with their eyes open.

They boasted so much that they almost didn't call them stupid.

This made Li Dahai even more confused, he decided to arrange this unknown in his own home, and it would be more at ease to keep it under his nose.

It doesn't matter to Ye Zhiqiu, as long as she has a place to live, anyway, when her injury is healed and things are settled, she has to leave.

——————————

The spring morning was still a little cool, so Li quickly boiled a pot of hot water, cooked some porridge, and put a few pancakes on the side of the pot.

Last night, my son brought back a child and asked her to take care of him, and told her to pay more attention.

She will take a closer look later to see what's wrong with this kid.

Ye Zhiqiu strode to the kitchen.

Last night I had a quick meeting with Li Dahai's mother. It was late at night, the light was not good, and people couldn't see clearly.

This will surprise Li Shi, she is very old, with wrinkled face, silver hair, and she walks with her back slightly on her back, she looks in her seventies or eighties.

Seeing her holding a basin and preparing to fetch water from the pot, Ye Zhiqiu quickly gave her a helping hand.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu approaching, Mrs. Li asked kindly: "Your name is Xiao Xiazi?"

"Mother, my name is Xia Mu, you can call me Xiao Xiazi."

"Okay, Xiao Xiazi, you go and wash your face, and we'll start eating breakfast."

She looked around the yard and asked, "Where's Brother Li?"

"He has already been to the county government."

Ye Zhiqiu was a little embarrassed, he was too tired yesterday, he wanted to get up early today, but he overslept, this Xiaobai didn't know how to shout.

"Xiaobai, why didn't you wake me up?"

"I saw that the boss has been very tired for the past few days. I finally got to a safe place. I want the boss to rest for a while." Xiaobai replied with some grievances.

"Don't do this in the future. From tomorrow, Chenshi will wake me up. I have to practice Baduanjin."

"Okay boss, no problem boss."

——————————

After washing up, Ye Zhiqiu took the pancake and looked left and right, what the hell is this?
Seeing his behavior, Mrs. Li couldn't help asking: "Is there any problem?"

"Ma'am, what is this cake made of?"

Li was silent. He didn't recognize such a common multigrain cake. Is he probably a young master from a wealthy family?
No wonder my son wants me to pay more attention to his words and deeds.

........................

After breakfast, Ye Zhiqiu went out, she had to inquire about something.

Stop and go along the way, there are row upon row of shops along the street.

There are many pedestrians on the road. It seems that Nancheng is much more prosperous than the border city. This Magistrate Zhao is a talent.

She went to a pharmacy, and Ye Zhiqiu's clerk who was going to fetch the medicine grabbed some white silkworms and ground them into a fine powder for her, and also weighed 3 catties of sucrose.

This face cannot be discarded, there is one thing, it depends on this face.

Carrying the medicine bag, she turned to a chicken stall, picked a fat hen, and cut two catties of meat at a butcher.

She carried these things and walked slowly back to Li Dahai's house, just as she saw Mrs. Li smashing something with a big log, Ye Zhiqiu walked over to have a look.

Hmm, I don't understand.

When Li saw him like this, he knew he didn't understand.

While pounding rice, she said, "I'm pounding rice."

"what?"

"Pound rice."

Ye Zhiqiu gave up, what the hell is pounding rice, he only blamed himself for not reading enough.

She wanted to take over the stick and help Mrs. Li.

"Mom, you rest, I'll do it."

"No, I'll do it myself, you go and play."

People who look like they can't do anything at first glance, don't waste your own food.

Seeing Li Shi's disgusted look, Ye Zhiqiu touched his nose, forget it, he should be a little self-aware.

She carried the chicken and meat to the kitchen, fetched a basin of water, and went back to her room to clean the wound and apply some medicine.

Seeing these wound medicines, Ye Zhiqiu felt.

I might?

confident?
Can kill those barbarians?
