Lucky husband

Silently suppressing that unreasonable thought, Bai Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "I think this sentence alone is not enough, and we have to speak in unison about the details, otherwise when people ask us, we will answer differently, and it will be easy to be judged by others." It turns out we weren't telling the truth."

It is said that telling a lie requires a hundred lies, because false ones are prone to flaws and are exposed by others.

Fortunately, they were only taken away for one day, and there were not many details to be added. The three of them seriously discussed how their day passed in the courtyard of Li's house.

After some discussion, they decided how to tell everyone about the experience of the day:

The bandits passing by saw Li Mingjin and Li Qiusheng going to the back mountain alone, so they seized the opportunity to stun them and took them away. Bai Zhiwen happened to be tired from studying and came out to stretch his muscles. He saw someone he didn't know in the village , curiously followed, he was also discovered by the bandits, and they were taken away in a daze.

It was almost night when they woke up, and they were locked in different rooms. The windows in the room were small and had no light, so they couldn't see clearly. Later, the bandit gave them a bowl of porridge, and they And quickly fell asleep.

Until the next morning, there was the sound of fighting in battle outside the window, but the door opened after a while, and then they were taken away by the magistrate and the officials of the county government.Back to what happened in the county government, there is no need to lie, just tell the truth.

According to what they discussed, they spent almost the whole time in a coma, and had no impression of the bandit's lair. As for the appearance of the bandit, they didn't see it because they covered their faces with black cloth.

When others ask, if you say a few times like this and answer the question without knowing it, everyone will lose interest and will not ask again.

After the discussion, Li Mingjin began to whisper familiar words again, and Li Qiusheng did the same, but Li Qiusheng was too embarrassed to say it, so he silently memorized it in his heart.

Bai Zhiwen glanced aside, not looking at Li Mingjin's chubby little face.

After a while, there were footsteps and voices outside the door, Li Mingjin stood up at once, ran to the door and opened the latch: "Mother!"

This time the people who came were a group of women, including Bai Xiuhe, Jiang Zhiyun, Li Caoye, Bai Yaoshi and several other villagers.

Li Chengshi met them not long after he went up the mountain, and told them what he had brought back the children.

This news made several women who were going crazy looking for their children happy and stupid. They were stunned for a moment before they realized what Li Chengshi said. Without saying a word, they rushed down the mountain immediately to see if their children really came back. .

Normally, Jiang Zhiyun and Bai Yaoshi walked in a slow pace, taking small steps. Today, like Li Caoye, the two of them rushed to the front, leaving Bai Xiuhe and the other women behind. a lot.

After notifying them, Li Chengshi walked on the back mountain for a while, and met two groups of villagers during the period. He also told them the news of the children's return, and then asked them to help inform other people on the mountain, and then he went down the mountain up.

Li Qiusheng and Bai Zhiwen also heard their mother's voice, and they were a little excited. After Li Mingjin opened the door, Li Qiusheng ran outside and hugged Li Caoye.

Bai Zhiwen needs to be more restrained, he is a boy, and he will be the pillar of the family in the future, so he doesn't throw himself into his mother's arms like the two elder brothers. Said: "Mom, I'm sorry to make you worry."

Bai Yaoshi couldn't stop crying after seeing Bai Zhiwen, she didn't care what happened to her son in the future, now Bai Zhiwen is still a child.

Holding his son who had grown to the height of his shoulders, Bai Yao burst into tears: "My son, mother is so worried. If I can't find you again, mother doesn't know what to do. You let me How do you live, mother?"

Jiang Zhiyun hugged Li Mingjin, Li Caoye hugged Li Qiusheng, both of them were crying silently, not crying like Bai Yaoshi.

The women who followed down the mountain saw the reunion of their mother and child, and wiped the corners of their eyes one by one: "Fortunately, the children are back."

After all the emotions in his heart were vented, there were more and more people outside Li's house. Bai Yao wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and asked, "Zhiwen, what's going on with you?"

Bai Zhiwen pursed his lips, and said what the three of them discussed just now: "We were kidnapped by bandits. At that time..."

When Bai Zhiwen spoke, the Li family, the Bai family and the villagers all listened carefully. They also wanted to know what the three children were doing.

Bandits?Changping County is not located in the outskirts of the former Han Province, and it has been many years since there have been reports of bandits. I did not expect that this year there will be another bandit in Changping County.

Seeing that this statement had fooled everyone, Bai Zhiwen winked at Li Mingjin, asking Li Mingjin and the others to answer the same way in the future.

The interaction between the two was noticed by Jiang Zhiyun, she suppressed her doubts in her heart, and planned to talk to Brother Jin in private later.

After the women in the village lamented the abhorrentness of the bandits and the bad luck of the children, they wanted to continue asking them about the details of their kidnapping, so that they would have something to say when they went out to chat in the future.

However, both Jiang Zhiyun and Bai Yao could see the exhaustion of the three children. Jiang Zhiyun was relatively familiar with the women in Shanghe Village, so she stood up and said gently: "The children are tired and hungry right now. Take my brother Jin back to eat something and sleep, let's talk about it later if you have anything to say."

The child's mother has talked about this point. If they don't leave and continue to stay at the gate of Li's courtyard so that the children can't rest, and it is rumored that they are aunts, they have no choice but to be unwilling. Wishing to leave, go to the center of the village under the big locust tree to talk about this matter.

After Bai Yao thanked Jiang Zhiyun and Li Chengshi, he quickly took Bai Zhiwen home, and Li Caoye did the same.

At this moment, only Jiang Zhiyun, Li Mingjin, and Bai Xiuhe were left in the Li family's courtyard.

Seeing that Li Mingjin's clothes were a bit dirty, Bai Xiuhe took the initiative to say, "Third siblings, I'll go to the kitchen to boil a pot of water, and then I'll bring Kang'er back. You can take Brother Jin to take a bath."

"Thank you sister-in-law." Jiang Zhiyun saw that Brother Jin had forgotten about Li Mingkang when he came back, but fortunately Bai Xiuhe mentioned it.

Then, Jiang Zhiyun brought Li Mingjin back to the house. Li Mingjin, who was standing upright just now, entered the room and sat on the stool, coquettishly to Jiang Zhiyun: "Mom, my leg hurts so much."

Not only the legs, but the arms also hurt.

Jiang Zhiyun was startled, she looked at Li Mingjin nervously: "Brother Jin, where does your leg hurt?"

Li Mingjin pointed to the two legs: "They both hurt."

"What's going on, those bandits who kidnapped you beat you?" Jiang Zhiyun lifted Li Mingjin's feet and rolled up her trouser legs to see if there were any wounds on his legs.

Li Mingjin's inner thighs were bruised when he got off the horse yesterday, but the skin wasn't broken, so the red marks had disappeared after he woke up, and now only soreness remained.

Li Mingjin explained: "Mother, there is no wound. My leg hurts because I am tired from riding and walking."

"Brother Jin, what's going on?" Jiang Zhiyun suddenly remembered that their family had received a letter telling them that the child had been taken away and asking them to send the letter to the county government. How can you be so arrogant, not afraid of the county government at all.

Seeing Li Mingjin's expression changed, Jiang Zhiyun tentatively asked, "Are you taken away by bandits?"

Li Mingjin's expression changed instantly, how could his mother ask such a question, did he reveal what he just said?

"Yesterday afternoon after you were kidnapped, your family received a letter, which said something." Jiang Zhiyun didn't say the contents of the letter, she wanted to see if Brother Jin was hiding something from her.

Li Mingjin thought that Jiang Zhiyun already knew, so he looked at Jiang Zhiyun embarrassedly: "Mother, in fact, we made up what brother Bai said just now."

Jiang Zhiyun asked calmly, "Then where did you go?"

"Mother, I promised father not to tell the truth." Li Mingjin looked embarrassed, he didn't want to lie to mother, and he didn't want to fail to do what he promised father.

Jiang Zhiyun frowned, it seemed that this matter was indeed not simple, and it involved the official affairs of the county government, so she could ask Mr. Hugh Mu next time when he came back.

After making sure that there was no wound on Li Mingjin's body, the pain on his body was caused by too much riding and walking, so she took out medicinal wine and wiped it on Li Mingjin, so that he could recover sooner.

After Bai Xiuhe filled the pot with water and lit the stove again, she heard Li Mingjin screaming for pain as soon as she arrived in the yard, and she nervously walked to the door of the left chamber: "Third siblings, Brother Jin, what's going on?" Is it?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm rubbing medicine on him, he's fine." Jiang Zhiyun raised her head and explained.

"That's good. I'll go out to pick Kang'er back. The water in the kitchen is already on fire. You should watch it a little bit." Bai Xiuhe went out after finishing speaking.

You don't need to boil the water if you don't have a bath, just heat it up. When Jiang Zhiyun scooped up the water and carried it to the bathing room, Bai Xiuhe had already brought Li Mingkang back.

Looking at Li Mingkang who was taking a nap, Jiang Zhiyun asked Li Mingjin to take a bath by herself, and she took the youngest son from Bai Xiuhe's hands.

Then, the two sisters-in-law sat in the yard chatting, waiting for the others to come back.

At this time, Li Chengshi had left Shanghe Village with the bullock driver and the old man.

Zhao Chengze, the county magistrate, mentioned before sending the officers to send the children home that he wanted to rectify the county town so that they could go back quickly.

When he reached the gate of the city, Li Chengshi jumped out of the ox cart. There are so many people in the city and the roads are narrow, it is not as fast as walking on an ox cart.

The fare to and from the county seat is ten coins a time. Li Chengshi counted ten copper coins in his purse and gave them to the ox cart driver, and said to the old man, "Mr., I have already paid for the ox cart fare when you arrive at the county seat. Where can you go?" This big brother will take you there."

After finishing speaking, he hurried to the county government office without waiting for the old man to reply.

The ox driver licked his lips, looked at the old gentleman who was sitting still and seemed to be asleep, and asked naively, "Old gentleman, where are you going?"

"Take me to Nanshun Street." The old man opened his eyes and said slowly.

As soon as he said this, the ox driver's expression became a little weird, because the county government office is on the Nanshun Street that the old man said.
