Embracing the ancient times with roses

Li Xiu Dazhuang went back to Tongjia Village, and when he got out of the car, he saw a car parked in front of his house. Li Xiu squinted his eyes, who is this?

Da Zhuang's expression was as usual, he didn't say anything, he stepped forward and opened the gate of the courtyard, first drove the donkey cart into his own courtyard gate, Li Xiu and Tong Xiaobao got out of the car, took a look outside, Li Xiu couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhuang, what is this?"

Da Zhuang shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Li Xiu didn't say anything else, anyway, he didn't care about his own affairs, he didn't talk, he was not familiar with the place here, so it would be bad if he caused trouble to his family, be careful.

Several people entered the house, at this time Tong Xiaobao looked out from the crack of the door and saw the carriage leaving, but there were many things in the yard, so Tong Xiaobao ran over, grabbed Li Xiu's hand and said, "Ah, you look."

Just as Li Xiu and Da Zhuang put away the things they bought today, they were called over by Tong Xiaobao, and looked into the yard. Good guy, there are a lot of good things, all of which are used for heating in winter, and they all use bags It was wrapped in leather, there were more than a dozen bags, and a large food box, which seemed to be for food.

Li Xiu muttered in his heart, who sent this?

Da Zhuang looked at him and said: "Don't think about it, whoever gave it to us, we will keep it if you give it to us, but let's keep an account, and when the owner of the thing finds it later, we will give him the money and finish the job, anyway. It’s going to be winter soon, so let’s use it.”

Li Xiu was a little confused: "Brother Zhuang, isn't this bad?"

Da Zhuang shook his head helplessly, his daughter-in-law is good everywhere, but sometimes she is a bit brainy, not to mention these things, it looks like it was given by his cheap brother, but Li Xiu won't let her use it, From this point of view, his daughter-in-law did not marry wrongly, and she did not take advantage of others, which is a good one.

"Brother Xiu, let's go in. These things can't just be left here. I know who gave them to me. Let's go in later to see how much this thing is worth. I'll give it to someone, so we can have peace of mind."

Li Xiu nodded, packed up all these things and moved them into the kang in the Westinghouse. Li Xiu opened them one by one and saw that the things were all for winter, most of them were cotton-padded clothes and trousers, and leather jackets. There are three of them, and the fabrics are all fine cotton, not silk. It seems that they know that Lixiu and his wife have to work, so they only make short clothes.

There is also a letter inside, the content of the letter is roughly a gift for their newlyweds, because of the rush of time, I didn't have time to finish it, and it was delivered in a hurry just after it was done, it is not a valuable thing, I hope it will not be too little The pressure in my heart is all relatives.

After reading the letter, Li Xiu said, "Brother Zhuang, do you have relatives?"

Da Zhuang sighed and didn't speak. After a while, he said: "We haven't seen each other for many years. I don't know how I found out that we are married. This is a gift for us. Just keep it. I will have it in the future." If we have a chance, let's return a gift!"

Seeing that he had something he didn't want to say, and didn't force him to ask, Li Xiu nodded, smiled and took the things away. He knew that Da Zhuang was thinking, so he handed over the remaining 50 taels of silver to Da Zhuang "These things add up to less than 50 taels. If you don't want it, you can take the 50 taels of silver back to someone else, and tell them that we have collected the things, but you can't take them for nothing. The 50 taels will be given to the other party." My children have bought food, and I’m bringing them two jars of wine and side dishes from our own house, that’s all. I guess they won’t come here in the future, right?”

Da Zhuang was moved for a while, but it would be great if this matter was really simple, he is full of words now, and Li Xiu can't stand it anymore, "Brother Da Zhuang, do you have something to hide from me? "

Seeing the persistence in Li Xiu's eyes, Da Zhuang gritted his teeth and said what he had been holding in his stomach for the past few days. What was on my mind was spoken out.After the matter was finished, Li Xiu was surprised for a long time. He didn't expect Da Zhuang's background to be so bloody?

Li Xiu was stunned for a while and said: "Brother Zhuang, don't get angry, it's good to know, but we can't go back? The water is deep there, and even Chu Batian hasn't found out all these years. The thing is who did it. It can be seen that this person's city is very deep. Let's live our own life in the village honestly. Don't worry, our life will not be so bad. You can't go back, or it will be very troublesome."

The couple discussed in the room all afternoon, and finally came to the same conclusion, living their own lives, loving whoever they love, is not as good as their own home.

In the evening, when Lixiu had nothing to do, he began to polish the bamboo he had prepared a few days ago to make a pair of bamboo knitting needles, took out a ball of wool that had been dyed long ago, and started knitting hats and scarves for Tong Xiaobao. , and gloves.

Lixiu's hands are very skillful. He learned this technique from the Internet. He knitted half a hat in just one night. This is also the reason why the child is young. The hat is made of thick threads. Tong Xiaobao is very happy. He grows up. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful hat with a few thin bamboos.

Da Zhuang was also amazed, his daughter-in-law was really amazing, she brought surprises to him every day, and the eyes she looked at him were much gentler, Tong Xiaobao looked at him, and felt sleepy after looking at him, He immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep. Li Xiu looked at his watch and it was already ten o'clock, and he also put down the needle and thread in his hand, preparing to knit tomorrow.

Da Zhuang had already taken off Tong Xiaobao's clothes on the quilt, and put it in the bed. He had washed it just now, and put it directly in the quilt on the top of the kang. This was the result of Li Xiu's discussion with him. The kang at home It was too hot, and the head of the kang was too hot. He was afraid that the child would get caught in the fire, so he simply slept on the head of the kang, Li Xiu slept in the middle, and Tong Xiaobao slept on the top of the kang. Tong Xiaobao was very satisfied with this arrangement, as long as he slept next to Li Xiu.

After a simple wash, Li Xiu and Da Zhuang also lay down on the bed, blew out the lights, and hadn't slept soundly yet, mainly because the events during the day were too exciting. Is it also the big guy that every time-traveling character must meet?Thighs to hug?Just when he couldn't figure it out, he heard movement on the window sill, and he immediately picked up a dagger next to the pillow, which was his habit for many years, and he pushed Da Zhuang next to him smoothly.

Da Zhuang didn't fall asleep either. Seeing Li Xiu like this, he sat up carefully, pulled Li Xiu off the ground, and picked up a pole that he would put on the edge of the kang every night when he went to bed. After putting on his shoes, he walked out of the west room carefully. Seeing that there was no movement in the main room, he carefully took Li Xiu's hand and touched the door of the main room. He stopped at the door for a while, and felt that there was no movement outside, so he was about to open the door and go out.

Li Xiu pulled him behind him, he quietly opened the door, looked out through the half moon in the sky, there was no one at the door, he listened carefully, he knew where the person was, in the warehouse There, someone was carefully picking the lock. Because it was too close, they could hear it clearly. If the two of them hadn't fallen asleep, they probably wouldn't have known about it.

Li Xiu and Da Zhuang came behind the lock picker carefully, and Da Zhuang picked up the pole without hesitation. Hearing the wind, the man lowered his head and hid, turned around and wanted to run, but he didn't even have time to run Well, he was kicked by Li Xiu and fell to the ground. The man groaned and lay down. He didn't get up for a long time, probably because Li Xiu kicked him hard.

Da Zhuang looked back and forth again, but found no one in the yard, so he went back to the house, picked up a torch, lit it, came to the man, and lit it with the torch. My God, why is this man still bleeding?Lie on the ground.

Li Xiu walked over and saw that this person's clothes were very shabby, it was probably the 'first time' he was a thief, his hands were still shaking a little, Li Xiu asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to my house and steal things?"

The man clenched his fist, and it seemed that he decided to 'tell the truth', "I am a refugee from the south, I am so hungry, I am caught by you, I admit it, but I beg you Don't hurt my family, they are all innocent."

Li Xiu was startled, "What, you still have family members, where are they?"

The man reluctantly sat up, covered his bleeding forehead with one hand, and pointed to the door with the other, "It's right there with the firewood pile, please don't hurt them."

Li Xiu looked at him, then at Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang opened the door, and saw two people hiding on the firewood pile, when the two people saw Da Zhuang coming out, they went into the firewood pile in fear Tibetan.

Da Zhuang was speechless for a while: "Come out, don't collapse my firewood stack, be careful I will beat you."

As soon as those two people heard this, they came out in a hurry. They couldn't help but come out. There was another person in the yard, so they couldn't ignore it!

When Da Zhuang brought the two of them to the yard, Li Xiuxiu was holding a dagger and asked what the man said: "Say, who sent you here?"

The people in the courtyard were stunned when they heard this, and then shook their heads desperately and said: "No, no, we are all ordinary people, we didn't obey anyone's orders to me, we are all good people, please let us go. We will never dare again next time, this is the first time and the last time."

Li Xiu concluded from his previous experience of reading novels that this person is not an ordinary person, because even though his face is a little sallow, his eyes are clear, and there is shame in them, but there is no cloudiness in them at all. While looking around, he found that the other two people were also like this. He looked at Da Zhuang, and he didn't know what to do, after all, he had never experienced this.

Da Zhuang understood what he meant. This meant leaving the matter of Lixiu to him. When he saw the man on the ground, he said, "Where is your Luyin?"

The man on the ground immediately said: "Lu Yin, it's in my bag, I'll take it for you." After speaking, he climbed up to the man kneeling on the ground, searched in the bag for a while, and finally crawled over and handed it to Da Zhuang. Da Zhuang, by the light of the torch, saw that it was indeed a refugee from the south, with the seal of the local state capital on it, so he said: "Since you are refugees, you can't steal. I won't hold you accountable this time. Just remember that there is no next time, you have to be upright and upright, if you succeeded in stealing this time, then you will still want to steal next time, do you want your children to set an example?"

The man looked at Da Zhuang, then looked back at the two and a half boys kneeling beside him, lowered his head, and this time he kowtowed willingly to Li Xiu and Da Zhuang: "Thank you, I am grateful I'm sorry, I did this today mainly because my little brother passed out from hunger before dark, so I made such a bad move, so I beg you, for the sake of the child, can you stutter for the child? , we have had no food for three days.”

Those two people also kowtowed, and Da Zhuang had a headache. Unexpectedly, Li Xiu went straight into the house without saying a word, went straight to the kitchen, brought out all the steamed buns left over from dinner at night, and handed them to the child with his head down. , the older child next to him took it immediately but didn't forget to say thank you, then he lowered his head and didn't eat it first, but handed a steamed bun to the little brother next to him.

The little brother took it, and immediately started to gobble it up. Fearing that he would choke, Li Xiu hurried into the room and poured him a bowl of hot water, and gave it to the little brother. The little brother cried while eating Say thank you."

Seeing that the two children had something to eat, the man did not rush over to eat with the children, but walked a few steps to Da Zhuang's body and said, "Thank you, my old Jin Daen does not say thank you, I beg you The two benefactors accept us, we are willing to sell ourselves as slaves, and serve as slaves in your family for the rest of our lives, we don’t want wages, we only want food and clothing, clothes for all seasons are enough.”

Li Xiu didn't speak, looked at Da Zhuang, it was the first time Da Zhuang met such a thing, and he didn't know what to do, finally Da Zhuang's heart relented, "Well, tonight, you will go to my house first. Let’s stay in the house in the courtyard, what’s the matter, we’ll talk about it tomorrow, as for your prostitution, we have to get the consent of the town’s yamen, after all, you can’t buy and sell people casually here.” After speaking, he got up and took the three of them to the east The courtyard is gone.

Li Xiu was going to follow, but Da Zhuang stopped him and asked him to watch Tong Xiaobao in the house. Li Xiu didn't move. He knew that there was someone in the dark of their house. Da Zhuang told him that it was at night. The secret guards of the Chu Family Fort shouldn't be too skilled, right?

Li Xiu went back to the house and didn't go to sleep on the kang, just walked around there. When Da Zhuang came back, he saw Li Xiu drawing circles there, and said, "What's wrong? Still not sleeping?"

When Li Xiu heard what Da Zhuang said, he stopped in his tracks: "Brother Da Zhuang, what do you think the three of them came from just now?"

Da Zhuang came over, pulled Li Xiu to sit down and said, "I don't care what his background is, as long as he has something to do with the Chu Family Fort, otherwise the hidden guards would have already come out to take care of things, and it would be necessary for the two of us to take action, I think It was my cheap elder brother who sent people to come, and put on such a play."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "That makes sense, but I think that child is really hungry, maybe we misunderstood, or we are thinking about it, what is going on with them?"

Da Zhuang nodded, "Okay, don't think about it, go to sleep quickly, don't worry about this matter, let me handle it."

After all, Li Xiu is not from this world, so he didn't think too much about it, and handed over the matter to Da Zhuang with confidence.

Da Zhuang saw that Li Xiu was relieved, so he dragged him back to the house to sleep, as for the three people, they should stay in the east courtyard room!
