Chapter 116 Diverting trouble to the east 1 update

Early the next morning, smoke was curling up in the yard, and the aroma of food filled the air, making the busy villagers feel at ease and more motivated.

Nowadays, every household has no shortage of food. They drink hot soy milk and eat soft acorn tofu. The children can also share a small piece of chestnut cake or dried walnuts. Compared with before, they could only count the food for cooking. The days now are as beautiful as a dream.

After thinking about it again, I feel more motivated.

After eating, the villagers set off on their way again, but this time their mood was completely different from before. They were no longer sad and heavy, and no longer at a loss. Even though their legs were still weak from tiredness, they were full of energy and seemed to be full of energy. They don't look like victims fleeing famine at all, they just go to the capital to make a living.

The long queue stretched for hundreds of meters and was orderly.

Xu Huaiyi drove the mule cart unhurriedly, still walking at the front. Not long after leaving the village, he met the refugees following them. The leader was Wang Zhuo.

The refugees stayed away from each other, watching them leave with complicated expressions, and did not follow them this time.

Gu Huanxi opened the car window, looked back, and then calmly looked back.

Gu Xiaoyu said with a firm tone, "Mom, those people are waiting for us to leave and then go live in that village, right?"

Gu Huanxi nodded.

"So, they won't follow us any further?"

"Well, we killed the wolf that night and scared them."

"But weren't they the ones who lured the wolves down from the mountain that night to deal with us?"

"To be precise, it was a vicious plot set up by a very few people. Others may not know the truth, but were deceived by those very few people and became pawns."

"Then they will..."

"Everyone should be responsible for their own choices. If they choose to stay now, they will have to bear the consequences later, no matter whether it is good or bad."

Gu Xiaoyu frowned in thought, and after a moment he said "hmm" in relief.

Poor people must be hateful, and sympathy is not applicable to everyone.

When they stopped for a short rest on the way, Gu Huanxi asked Xu Huaiyi privately, "What are you planning to do by sitting back and watching Wang Zhuo lead those refugees to the village without asking anything?"

Xu Huaiyi still wanted to be vague, "We have to leave, why do we care? Besides, the village is not ours. Whoever wants to live can go there. It's not a good place. It doesn't even have a roof. I still Can you bear it?"

Gu Huanxi stared at him expressionlessly, "Continue making up."

Xu Huaiyi was curious, "My reasons are so good, why don't you believe me?"

Gu Huanxi snorted, "You have such a bad temper. The other party has lured a wolf to eat you. How can you go back without taking revenge? You still let them occupy the house. It's weird no matter how you look at it."

Xu Huaiyi chuckled, "He who knows me is my wife."

Gu Huanxi urged impatiently, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Xu Huaiyi came closer and whispered, "Isn't there a big secret in this village? I picked up two things, and you are worried. If people know that we have lived here for a few days, do you think it will arouse suspicion and suspicion? Trouble? After all, who knows who are the people who set fire to the village? What if they are in the capital, what if they find out about us, what if they are suspicious and want to kill a thousand wrongdoers without letting one go..."

Gu Huanxi's face gradually became serious, and his intuitive uneasiness swept over him again.

Xu Huaiyi continued, "That's why I let Wang Zhuo take the refugees to live in. This is called diverting trouble from the east. If those people really pursue it in the future, only Wang Zhuo and others will be suspicious. We can almost Skim it clean.”

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi's expression softened a little, and he gave a rare compliment, "That's right, he's quite thoughtful."

Xu Huaiyi said proudly, "You must have thought carefully. How can I leave trouble for myself and let my wife live in fear with me?"

After a pause, he sneered again, "If I hadn't looked at Wang Zhuo's evil thoughts because he still had some use for him, how could I have spared him?"

"Maybe we'll never meet him again."

"Hmph, that's best."

Otherwise, he would definitely have to settle the score with the wolf that night.

They set out on the road again, and not long after walking, they arrived at the official road. However, they did not enter the city. They took a look from a distance and avoided the trail. The trail must be difficult to walk, but they could save five taels of silver. None of the villagers complained at all. , but the speed was a bit slower. When I stopped cooking at noon, I was still taking a detour.

Village Chief Xu looked at the desolate wilderness and came to Xu Huaiyi anxiously to discuss, "In such a hurry, when can we get to the official road? If we can't walk until it's dark, it's probably not safe to rest in a place like this."

Xu Huaiyi had secretly observed it with a telescope a long time ago. He was confident and did not panic. "Don't worry, uncle village chief. I will definitely be able to sleep on the official road before dark."

"Really?"

"Can I still fool you?"

Seeing that he looked calm and determined, not to comfort him, Village Chief Xu felt relieved. He caught a glimpse of Wei Ci cooking not far away, and asked more, "Are these people you bought reliable?"

Xu Huaiyi said conservatively, "It's okay."

Village Chief Xu pondered, "After all, those who have been among the refugees before have inevitably been deceived by Wang Zhuo. You should be more careful and don't believe too much. It will take time to see people's hearts."

Xu Huaiyi nodded gratefully.

Then, Village Chief Xu changed the topic and said with a smile, "But with them, you and your family can have some peace of mind. From what I've seen, the three of them are quite capable."

Xu Huaiyi agreed, "He is quite capable."

Needless to say, Wei Liang was very skilled in martial arts. With him around, Xu Huaiyi felt a lot more at ease. Not only could he act as a bodyguard, but he also took over all the work at home, and he did it without any effort and in a down-to-earth manner. , dragged the food along the way, and did not even take a breath when they reached the place. They set up the stove, moved tables and chairs, and collected firewood. They had no time to spare.

Wei Ci was also diligent, cooking neatly and tasted just fine. The rest of the time he was busy sewing clothes and shoes. He also served Gu Huanxi and his wife, served tea and water, and did all the ironing.

The biggest advantage is that it is a special duty not to get in front of the male master.

Even Wei An is very discerning. He is too young to do much work, so he takes care of Gu Xiaoyu every step of the way, helping to get some things and serving Simba.

During lunch, Dr. Jiao was also there. He had agreed before that he would accompany the Gu family on the way. Not only did he give him enough food and meat, but he also returned the bracelet that Xu Huaiyi had handed him with medicine.

Xu Huaiyi was a little embarrassed to accept it.

Doctor Jiao said, "This is your daughter-in-law's dowry. You had no choice but to pay it to me before. Now that I'm eating with you, can I take advantage of it again? Take it back. This is the thought your father-in-law left for your daughter-in-law." .”

After hearing the last sentence, Xu Huaiyi thanked him and put it away.

But since then, the food along the way has obviously become better. The bracelet is worth more than ten taels of silver. If others don't take advantage of him, he can't let others suffer, can he?
