Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Yu Niang suppressed the joy in her heart and returned home quickly holding the copper in her arms.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, in the yard, a son and a daughter, with sallow complexions and bulging stomachs, were squatting on the ground playing with ants. Their eyes were full of desire for ants. The younger daughter was trying to twist the ants and put them into her mouth.

"Don't eat it!" Yu Niang quickly stepped forward and slapped the ants out of her daughter's hand.

"Mom..." The daughter suddenly looked at her with tears in her eyes, "I'm hungry..."

Yu Niang's tears immediately flowed out. She touched her daughter's dry head and comforted her, "Wait a moment. Mom will go buy food for you two later."

After speaking, he took his daughter's little hand and said to his son, who was holding her clothes, "Let's go in first to see how your father is doing."

The three women entered the house. A man with a bloodless face hung on a wooden bed covered with straw curtains. He must have heard his daughter's cry outside. He looked painful and anxious. He struggled to get out of bed and take a look. With his hands on the ground, his upper body had already fallen to the ground, leaving only a pair of legs that looked weak hanging on the bed.

Yu Niang quickly stepped forward, dumped the copper in her arms onto the bed, and helped her husband back onto the bed with difficulty.

Lu Erlang gasped and leaned on his wife's arms, looking at the coppers on the bed, and asked with a worried look: "Where did you get so much money?"

He was a little worried that the money was obtained by his wife selling herself to a wealthy family as a servant. After all, a small family could not afford so much copper.

Once you become a servant of a wealthy family, you cannot control your life or death.

Although they are living a very sad life now, they still have freedom after all.

"Don't do anything stupid..."

"Don't worry, I have children here, and I can't bear to sell myself..." so that you can marry again and let others bully her children.

In the second half, Yu Niang only cursed in her heart, but she couldn't say it openly.

"I met a kind-hearted lady today and stayed with her for a while..."

Yu Niang told her what happened today one by one, and then looked at her husband inquiringly.

She came up with the idea of ​​​​being a local companion because her husband's ancestors had been working as a broker's companion. She had heard her husband talk a lot on weekdays, so she naturally had some understanding of the outside world. However, she did not know as much about the outside world as her husband who was away from home all day. , she just thought about coming back and telling her husband about the matter, so that he could make the decision. Even if she ran errands, she could do it.

She thought a lot on the way back. The lady seemed to be a good-natured person. She didn't ask the lady to do anything kind for her, she just wanted her to enjoy the meal.

After hearing his wife's words, Lu Erlang was half relieved. Just when he was about to say something, he looked at the child beside the bed who was looking at him and his wife eagerly, and his heart softened.

"Yu Niang, the children are hungry."

Yu Niang came back to her senses and looked at her children with an annoyed expression on her face, "Look at my memory."

He hurriedly put his husband on the bed, got up, took a handful of coins, and said to the father and son: "You guys wait at home, I'll go out to buy some food, and I'll be back soon."

She didn't buy food on the way when she came back simply because she had too much money on her and she was afraid of being spotted by others if her wealth was exposed.

Lu Erlang stopped Yu Niang, "On your way back, ask your elder brother to stop by."

He was talking about his brother Lu Dalang. Like him, he used to work as a broker.

But Lu Dalang's mouth is not as sharp as his, and his income has never been as good as him. In addition, there have been wars in the past few years, and few outsiders come to the royal city, and there is even less income. Now he is doing hard work for others, and the money he earns in one day is not enough for him. Food rations for one person, let alone feeding his family of six.

Yu Niang opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She hummed softly and turned around to go out.

Lu Erlang looked at his wife's back and sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue this job with his wife. In this way, he would have more income and his two children could have more meals.

It's just that now that he can't move, it's one thing for his wife to contact those merchants alone, and she will be looked down upon. Maybe even her bones will be crushed into pieces.

The situation will be somewhat better if a man like the eldest brother comes forward, and with him helping from behind, he won't be betrayed.

……

The solemn palace door is open, the breeze blows into the palace, and the candlelight throughout the room is swaying gently.

The king of Yingguo held the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at it casually, and heard the news reported by the guards below.

Hearing the word "black bear", he couldn't help but sit up straight.

"You said someone showed up in the royal city with a black bear?"

The guard lowered his head: "Back to your Majesty, yes."

The king of the winning country: "Where is the black bear now?"

"When the Yamen arrived, the man and the black bear had already left the city. I heard they were twenty miles outside the city." the guard replied.

Hearing that the black bear had left the royal city, the king of Yingguo lost interest, dropped the bamboo slips in his hands, and asked instead: "How is the progress of the papers at the Young Mansion?"

Guard: "Listening to the report from the young master, we have already reached the threshold."

The king of Yingguo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Inform the young master to hurry up!"

The guard was shocked and lowered his head, "Yes."

"Go down." The king of the winning country said.

"Yes." The guard responded and walked backwards out of the palace.

The king of Yingguo looked at the empty main hall and sat quietly for a while before getting up and going to the side hall.

When he came to a floor-standing bronze bottle that was half a man's height, he put his hand on the mouth of the bottle and pulled hard, and a "click-click" sound came from the wall.

A passage with luminous pearls on the top appeared in front of you.

The king of Yingguo went down the steps of the passage and soon came to a large stone room.

What is enshrined inside are the rankings of Ying's ancestors.

The king of the winning country turned on the candlesticks on the stone wall one by one with an expressionless expression.

There are six coffins in the middle of the stone chamber. The lid of each coffin is open. Each coffin contains at least two embalmed corpses. Their hands are tied behind their backs, and their legs are bent to the knees, forming a posture of kneeling and guilty. The posture was thrown carelessly into the coffin.

The king of Yingguo looked at these coffins with a cold expression.

These people will slaughter all the blood of his Ying clan in the future, dig out the coffins of his Ying clan ancestors and expose them to the sun, and even make the people of his Ying clan slaves for generations!

Thinking of this, the eyes of the king of Yingguo slowly turned sinister, and a violent anger arose in his heart. He didn't calm down until he stared at the corpses with painful expressions for a while.

This time, they had no chance.

After calming down his mind and paying homage to his ancestors, the king of Yingguo slowly turned around and left the stone chamber.

Looking at the candlelight in the side hall, King Yingguo calmly ordered people to throw the coffin below into the mass grave.

The future will not go on like before, and these people will be useless.
