Farmer's Favorite

Shabby houses in the alleys, and the streets are full of sewage.

You have to be careful when you walk, otherwise you will step on it and stain the hem of your clothes.

And at this time, Shuang'er with a pregnancy mole on her forehead hurried past, she didn't know what she was holding in her hands, and walked in an extremely hasty manner.

"Ji Xia, you're leaving in such a hurry, but what can you do?" The acquaintances in the past couldn't help asking curiously when they saw it.

"When I went out, I forgot that there was still hot water on the stove." Ji Xia responded, but her expression was not anxious but joyful.

He opened the door of his house, and there were two small rooms in the small courtyard, one for living and the other for kitchen.

Although small, it is very clean.

On the window sill of the room, a man dressed as a scholar raised his head, with a gentle face on his face, he raised his mouth and said, "I'm back so early? Let my husband see what material you chose."

As he spoke, he put down the brush and beckoned.

The two have been married for two or three years. Because the family is poor and they have to support him to study and take exams, the money in the family is extremely tight. Ji Xia has been with him for so many years, but he has never even worn a new dress.

Just a few days ago, he took a job of transcribing scripts and earned some money, so he thought about selling some materials for Ji Xia to make new clothes.

He planned to go to the cloth village with the two of them, but he took on an urgent job at the last moment, but he could only stay at home and let Ji Xia go alone. He said: "You have to choose fine cotton. If you buy coarse cloth As a husband, I will personally go back."

Ji Xia had a weird face when she heard that, and she couldn't help shrinking her hands when she saw Qiao Zhe approaching.

Qiao Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't understand. He reached out to take the things in his hands and looked at them, and his face suddenly changed.

There is a thick stack of rice paper. Without thinking too much, I know that Ji Xia must have bought the rice paper with the money to buy the material. His face is slightly dark, "Why did you buy this?"

"Don't be angry, Mr. Ji." Ji Xia was a little anxious, and he quickly explained: "I happened to pass by a shop on my way to Buzhuang. The rice paper in their shop is extremely cheap, and the quantity is not large. Many people go to loot it. Fortunately, I Respond quickly, or you will almost miss it."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhe looked at the person in front of him again, his hair was a little messy, and there was even more sweat on his forehead. He sighed slightly, reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said, "You."

Ji Xia raised his head, and he said with a smile: "One hundred and sixty papers are much cheaper than the previous ones, and I have checked carefully, the paper is not bad or even pretty good, but unfortunately I didn't have much money with me at the time. , otherwise just buy more and come back.”

One hundred words and sixty sheets!

Qiao Zhe looked at the rice paper in his hand, he didn't need to use it, he knew it was really good, but he really didn't expect it to be so cheap, he said: "I planned to make you a new dress, but in the end I spent the money on me body."

Ji Xia didn't say anything, but his heart was so warm.

Because compared to making new clothes, he would rather spend all his money on his husband.

While the two were talking, there was a commotion outside the door.

Qiao Zhe was suspicious, and opened the door, but a lot of people rushed over from the alley outside, he was startled, and quickly closed the door.

"What happened?" asked the person behind him.

Qiao Zhe shook his head with a solemn face. If he read correctly, the person who rushed towards this side just now was a warrior in armor with a big knife in his hand.

……

The news that Xingcheng was sealed off spread to Xishan Village within two days.

There were many rumors. Some people said that the reason why Xingcheng couldn't enter or exit was because there were robbers inside, and the officials wanted to arrest them, so they sealed the gates of the city.

At the same time, some people said that it was because Xingcheng fell.

A high-ranking official in Xingcheng secretly raised a large number of private soldiers. The court had already received the news and sent people to arrest him, but he didn't want to be discovered at the most critical moment.

This senior official took the people in the city as hostages and locked the gates of the city, in order to do his best.

Of course, it's absurd, but no one knows if it's true or not.

However, the matter of Xingcheng was spread to Xishan Village.

When Village Chief Lin heard about it, he was immediately grateful. Fortunately, he stopped in time, otherwise the people in the village might not escape.

However, it didn't take long, looking at the people who came to the door crying one after another, this happiness turned into anger and worry.

"How could they be so confused? Didn't I tell you? You can't go to Xingcheng!" Village Chief Lin yelled. He never expected that so many people in the village would be disobedient. him for such a long time.

"Village chief, what should I do? My son hasn't come back yet."

"Do you want to send someone to look for it?"

"The village chief...my man..."

"Enough!" Village Chief Lin roared angrily. The people in the courtyard finally calmed down. He took a few deep breaths. He didn't know what to do at this time. What's the matter, what should I do if I get in again?

He said: "You all go back first, I will go to Xiaozhuang and ask."

As he said that, he ignored these people, and headed straight for the dealer's house.

However, Village Chief Lin came late.

When he came, Mrs. Wang was already crying beside Lin Qi, with tears streaming all over her face, and said choked up: "I should have persuaded him at the beginning, but you also know your elder brother's temper, run away Subing Town is so hard, and after a long time, I will definitely shrink back, I thought that Xingcheng is a big place anyway, and nothing will happen, but how would I know... I was the one who killed him."

Lin Qi also had a sad look on his face, and his heart was a little confused.

After all, no matter what, Lin Li is also his own brother.

Zhuang Xinyan put his hands on Lin Qi's shoulders, gently comforting him: "It will be fine, the village chief and I will go to the town and ask about the situation."

Lin Qi pursed his lips and nodded, and said in a low voice, "You have to be careful when you go out. If you feel something is wrong, come back."

Zhuang Xinyan agreed, and went out with Village Chief Lin.

Just a pity.

The time is too short, not to mention the common people are stunned, even the county magistrate is only half a day early to know what happened in the feasible city, he has no way of knowing, because the people he sent have not returned yet.

As for the Bafang Pavilion, Yuan Yi also had a serious face and didn't know anything about it.

Just because it happened so suddenly.

Fortunately, no bad news is good news, no matter how anxious they are, they can only continue to wait.

This wait was a full two days.

It was until many folks returned home.

Some came back from other places, and some came back from Xingcheng.

These people were glad that the closure of the city was just before they left the city, so they knew something about the situation in Xingcheng.

One of them said: "As rumored, the officials in Xingcheng really turned against each other. When we came back, the guards outside the city were full of soldiers. It was really scary to watch the battle."

"Even outside the city, we can all hear the voices crying for help inside the city."

"Isn't it? Fortunately, we are lucky to leave the city in time, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked, "What about my family Lin Li?"

"And my man, have you ever seen him?"

Then two or three people asked again, the face of the person who was asked was a little ugly, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Lin Li and the others planned to go back the next day, when we left, they were still in the city."

"Why...how did this happen." Wang's legs immediately softened. Fortunately, the person next to him supported him, otherwise he would have to sit on the ground all at once.

And Lin Qi who was outside was also tense, but Zhuang Xinyan said soothingly: "If the people from the court are dispatched, there should be no major incidents. Brother is not stupid. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to show up, nothing will happen."

Lin Qi pursed his lips and nodded. At this time, the child in his stomach was making noise again, and his legs were inevitably sore. With the help of the man, he returned home.

The same is true for Wang Shi at this time, his legs were weak and he was helped back home.

As a result, just entering the door, I saw two unexpected people.

The sad look on her face subsided, and she cheered up, because she knew that the two people sitting in the main room would come to the door for everything, and since they came to the door, nothing good would happen, especially at this time.

Mrs. Lin raised her head slightly and squinted, the corners of her mouth drooping, showing no hint of kindness.

And the one sitting next to her was Uncle Lin Ping. There was a look of worry on his face, but his eyes were unusually bright.

On the other hand, old man Lin, at this time, did not have the same enthusiasm for his mother and eldest brother at this time, but was a little hesitant.

"What else are you thinking about, Liu'er is such a good child, why do you have any hesitation?" Mrs. Lin couldn't bear it at first, her face was full of dissatisfaction and impatience.

Unlike playing tricks in front of his children and grandchildren, the old man Lin rubbed his hands at this time, with hesitation on his face, he said: "Mother, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter, let's not say that Lin Li doesn't know the situation now, Even there is a Douer under him."

With a 'snap', Mrs. Lin slapped her palm on the table, she said angrily: "You bastard, your elder brother is afraid that you will be sad when he hears the news. Come out to honor you, and you still dare to think it's wrong. You black-hearted dog, your conscience must have been eaten by dogs."

"Mother..." Old man Lin waved his hands anxiously.

But Mrs. Wang was puzzled: "What separation? What filial piety? What do you mean?"

Mrs. Lin gave Wang a blank look, not even willing to explain.

On the contrary, Lin Ping said with a smile: "Isn't something wrong with Lin Ping? As the eldest brother, I would like to see my younger brother without children. Although Liu'er is my second son, I don't want to be capable. Little brother, it is Liu'er who adopted him." With you, he will also be filial to you."

"..." Wang Shi gritted her teeth, she turned her head angrily, her eyes resentful: "You guys are really deceiving people too much!"

"Lin Li is still in Xingcheng at this time. Although he doesn't know the general situation, he is still alive and well. You wolfish ambitions, you actually came to our house to curse him!" Wang tensed her back, held her head high, and said in a vigorous tone.

While speaking, she pressed forward even more tightly, and she continued: "As elders, you are so vicious. As relatives, you are really disgusting and disgusting. Get out of my house quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"
