When I woke up, I was fine

Chapter 71 Road Encounters

Cao Li once drove the road with Guan Lengyan, and he knew everything about what happened on the road. Although the weather is relatively cold now, as long as measures to keep warm are taken, it is actually very comfortable in the carriage.

Avalokitesvara's maidservant also drove along with Li Shimin, but up to now she always felt uncomfortable and couldn't get used to being outside.

A few days later, because of a snowstorm, this group of people were trapped in the post station. The Guanyin servant girl also fell ill at this time, and had already started to have difficulty breathing.

Cao Li was particularly worried, because there was a bed in the station anyway, so he took his maid to take care of Guanyin's maid day and night.

After the snowstorm, I was going to go, but the road became muddy. When Li Jiancheng was chatting with Cao Qiang in the corridor, he told Cao Qiang to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, and maybe he would spend the Laba Festival outside.

It wasn't until this time that Cao Yang felt that it was a good thing for Li Xiuxiu to marry. If he trekked hard with her father and brother, he would suffer at this time.

I just don't know how Li Xiuxiu is doing now?I don't know how the little man of the Chai family treats her?I don't know if the wife of the Chai family has made any troubles now, Cao Qian is more concerned about Guan Lengyan and his youngest son Cao Jin.

So when he came to the bed of Avalokitesvara with a sad face, he thought that Avalokitesvara had fallen asleep, but unexpectedly Avalokitesvara opened his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"I think of my mother and brother. When I came, I went to say goodbye to my mother. My little brother can't even talk now. He just rolls over and crawls on the ground a few times."

Speaking of this, Cao Li sighed, "I'm also thinking about Xiuxiu, I don't know how Xiuxiu is doing now?"

"Sister-in-law misses so many people, and I miss many people too, including my uncle, my brother, Shimin, and Xiuxiu..."

At this point, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Cao Li hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said this in front of you, and it made you feel uncomfortable now."

"Sister-in-law doesn't say that I will think about it sooner or later. It's good for me to be uncomfortable for a while. My sister-in-law doesn't know that it is not good for my health to keep some things in my heart. Whether it's crying or being happy, it doesn't matter if it's over. It won't linger in your heart."

The two of them were talking when they heard a commotion outside the post station. Many maidservants hid in their current rooms. Cao Qian pushed everyone away, stood at the door and looked outside, and casually asked the maidservants around him.

"What's going on outside? Do you know?"

"I heard that someone passed by here and wanted to spend the night here today. Originally, our eldest son was unwilling, saying that many of the family members were here, otherwise it would be easy to collide, but later that person said he knew our master. Our master really knew each other when he went out to meet people, and he has already invited people in at this time."

Cao Li nodded, and asked these maidservants to go out, bringing some candied fruit or dried fruit to them, "You just said that there is nothing good on the road now, only these, please don't dislike them."

The maidservants came back after going out for a while. Cao Li was talking with Guanyin's maidservant. The two looked at these maidservants in amazement, "Is the thing just now not good? Why are you asked to take things outside again?"

One of them, an elderly man, told Cao Li, "Our master told us that one of them is our benefactor. When our wife was pregnant with our eldest son, he was saved by this benefactor."

So Li Yuan took his sons to thank others at this time.Naturally, it is necessary to set up a banquet and invite others to have a drink.

There is really nothing good on the road, but because of boredom, Li Yuanba went out and bought a lot of delicious food some time ago, such as some fungus that was almost dried out, and some shriveled mushrooms that couldn’t see the shape. Said that Guanyin's servant girl was recuperating in bed, so she threw all these things to the servant, saying that these things were for sister-in-law.

Therefore, during this period of time on the road, Li Yuanba's performance caught Li Yuan's eyes. In order to show the deep love between father and son, Li Yuan often called Yuanba to him, but Yuanba just didn't give him a good face. It can always make Li Yuan furious.

This time Li Yuanba didn't have Li Yuan's share of the food he brought back, and he didn't even give it to his elder brother, and specified that it would be given to his two sisters-in-law.

At that time, Cao Li said that he did not hurt Li Yuanba in vain, but today he said that he had to prepare a banquet, and there was nothing good about it. All of them here are some simple food, and the mushrooms are the ones on the table.

Thinking that those people in the kitchen dare not do this without authorization, so the maid came to ask for instructions.

When I came here, I was actually very well prepared. At that time, the dried bacon Cao Li had been pulled half a car, and there were some dried vegetables. At this time, I asked the kitchen to take them out and fix a table for them.

I didn't bring any good wine, so the wine here will be used as it is, but I brought a lot of sesame oil and some brown sugar. Cao Qiang asked someone to share some to make snacks. When the time comes, I will give these people as dry food and give it to others when I part. .

After finishing the order, Cao Qian sat back next to the Guanyin maidservant, "Since we were kind to our aunt back then, we were also kind to us. We met on the road. Let's use whatever skills we have. If we are in Luoyang, It is a pity that this is a wild place on the outskirts of the mountains."

Guanyin's servant girl talked with Cao Qiang for a while, seeing that she was exhausted, she closed her eyes and wanted to sleep for a while, Cao Qiang covered her with a quilt, and asked the maidservants to take good care of her, thinking that there are still a lot of things waiting Do it yourself, left the house of Guanyin's maidservant, just walked a few steps, heard the sound of footsteps behind, turned to see Li Yuanji running over.

Cao Qian quickly grabbed him, "What are you running around here? You sweated all over to be careful of getting sick. I just heard that the master and your brother were entertaining guests outside. Why didn't you follow him? After all, you can get away with it anyway." A good meal."

"Daddy didn't let the third brother go, so I didn't go. The third brother just smelled it and wanted to eat it. The people in the kitchen didn't dare to give it to him, so the third brother was unhappy. I'm going to get something fun now. Bring him here."

Cao Li nodded, "You can't let others eat and you watch. I'll tell the kitchen later to ask them to cook more, as there is only a little room in the stomachs of the two of you, and a little bit is enough for you to eat."

Having said that, he asked Li Yuanji again, "Who are you inviting?"

"A group of people, one of them is a man with a yellow face, what is his name Qin...Qin Qiong's name is Shubao, I heard that my mother was rescued by this person back then, and she was frightened and moved her fetus, and gave birth to my elder brother in the temple .”

When Cao Qian heard Li Yuanji say this, he didn't show any respect, thinking that he should not be some official figure, "Is it a hero in the world?"

"It's fine if he's really a hero. I heard from my elder brother that this person may have been a thieves."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji was not in a hurry to find something fun, he pulled Cao Qiang's hand to let Cao Qiang squat down, and whispered in Cao Qiang's ear, "I heard my elder brother tell me about it a while ago. He said he was a hero on Greenwood Road. There was a man named Shan Xiongxin who had a grudge against our family. Back then, his father accidentally killed Shan Xiongxin’s elder brother, so Shan Xiongxin was at odds with our Li family. And this Shan Xiongxin was from Greenwood Road. Carrying the overlord, leading people to gather in the mountains and forests..."

Cao Qiang had also heard of Shan Xiongxin's reputation, and when talking about it with Guan Lengyan, Guan Lengyan only said that he was a good man.

But because Cao Qiang and Guan Lengyan have always kept in mind what happened to the Yellow Turban Army back then, they don't have a good impression of those who gather in the mountains and forests, and they will not take the initiative to make friends.

"What's the relationship between Shan Xiongxin and Qin Shubao?"

"Shan Xiongxin and Qin Shubao are good friends, and Qin Shubao worked with Shan Xiongxin for a period of time. The reason why my elder brother heard about this is because when he led people to rob two years ago, he also encountered these green forest roads. I came to find out what my elder brother's background is..."

After finishing speaking, he gave Cao Li a meaningful look.Cao Qian could understand that every time Li Jiancheng went out to rob, he only robbed those officials, and Li Jiancheng, an ordinary pedestrian and wealthy businessman, really looked down on him.The purpose is to train these men and horses in their hands, and taking gold and silver is just a surprise, and such a way is quite in line with the tastes of those heroes.

What these heroes often do is to rob houses and houses. If it is more noble, it can be called robbing the rich and helping the poor.The stolen money of those officials was especially robbed, so it was more in line with their style of conduct.

"That is to say, someone on the Green Forest Road wanted to recruit your eldest brother into the gang?"

"My elder brother won't join forces with them. Our ancestors have always been officials. If my elder brother's dignified prince doesn't do it, he will rob houses everywhere in the mountains and fields with them?"

When Li Yuanji said this, he brought some contempt, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about it, this matter is over, and elder brother won't let you know, because I think it's useless for you women to know."

When Cao Qian heard this, he stretched out his hand and twisted Li Yuanji's ear, "Who are you talking about, are you looking down on women? Don't think that you are honest now, I can't see that you look down on people."

When Li Yuanji was begging for mercy, Li Yuanba ran over and saw Cao Qian squatting there twisting Li Yuanji's ears, thinking that the two of them were playing, the whole person ran over, every time he ran like a The hill fell to the ground, and it felt like a miniature earthquake.

"What are you playing? Why don't you take me with you?"

Cao Li let go, "Yuan Ji did something wrong, sister-in-law is educating him, not playing."

Speaking of this, Cao Li asked the two of them again, "Since this group of people may be bandits, why did they come here? Did you find the traces of our walking and want to come and rob them?"

Li Yuanji didn't think about this, "They said they were just passing by. Sister-in-law, you mean that they want to rob us, and they came to us on purpose at this time, first to see our reality, and second, to step on the plate?"

Cao Qian felt that this kid was very smart, "I didn't say that, so I didn't know what they were here for, so I asked you."

Li Yuanba thumped his chest with his hands, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, when the time comes, I'll make one for one, and two for a pair."

Cao Qian patted Li Yuanji's head, "Good boy, I know, if this is really the case, they are still guests at the moment, so they must not fight."

After speaking, he told Li Yuanji, "Go and listen to the banquet to see what they are here for."

Li Yuanji accepted the order happily, left Li Yuanba behind and ran out again.
