Chapter 498 Bandits

Listening to Master Zhao's praise of Sang Yu, Mrs. Zhao was very entangled. If it weren't for the incident not long ago, she had a close relationship with Sang Yu, just looking at him, Mrs. Zhao would also like him.

But when she thought of her niece doing such a stupid thing for him, the baby boy named Feng retired from the bride with his daughter, turned around and got engaged to her niece. Before she could figure out how to arrange her daughter's lifelong affairs, he came to the door to marry her daughter. It was too chaotic. If she let go, what's the matter!

Master Zhao didn't know her entanglement, and thought she was prejudiced to Sang Yu and was unwilling to agree to the marriage, so he said: Don't be anxious about this matter, think about it slowly! Zuo Sirou is not old, so it's not too late to wait for a year or two to say kinship.

Mrs. Zhao glared at him and said unhappily: The flowering period of my daughter's house is short, and Sirou is in her hair. A girl of her age will almost be engaged even if she has not married. If it weren't for the baby named Feng, would my Sirou be delayed until now?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao became angry again. She not only hated Feng Zhichun and the Feng family, but also resented the Sun family. At this time, the Zhao family has been ridiculed a lot, which has made her not even want to leave the Zhao family's gate.

Master Zhao was helpless: You also know that your daughter's family had a short flowering period. You obviously had a ready-made son-in-law, but you were not satisfied. Now Sirou's reputation has ruined Feng's surname. Even if the storm has passed, it is difficult to find a suitable husband for Sirou. It would be better to wait a little longer.

In fact, Mrs. Zhao has loosened a little, but the hurdle in her heart still needs time to pass, so she said: Then let me listen to you, and wait. It’s just about this, don’t tell Sirou for the time being.

Master Zhao nodded: It’s from our province.

Not to mention that Mrs. Zhao had concerns in her heart, Master Zhao also had them. Although he was optimistic about Sang Yu and wanted Sang Yu to be his son-in-law, but changes always happened inadvertently. He wanted to see that Sang Yu's proposal for marriage was just an impulse, or was sincere.

If he had seen the prosperity of the capital, the benefits of power, and could retain his original intention after high school Jinshi, then he would have no reason to refuse such an outstanding son-in-law.

This is also the reason why Master Zhao did not agree immediately when Sang Yu mentioned it.

Zheng Lin's departure made Tang Yuaner have a big fuss. Especially at night when she really didn't see her father going back to her room to sleep, she cried at the top of her throat. Yuanxiao seemed to be infected and started crying.

In the middle of the night, the siblings were like a game, one of whom was crying louder than the other. Sang Ye almost cried and wanted to pull Tangyuaner over and beat him up.

Worried that their crying and tender voices were so bad that Mangye said a lot of nice words to Tangyuaner. In the end, there was no way. He brought a bamboo basket containing the little squirrel from the corner and pointed at the trembling little squirrel inside to fool her: Your father said before leaving that as long as you raise the little squirrel, he will come back.

No matter how smart Tang Yuaner is, she is still a child, and she is not as good as an adult. When she heard her mother say this, she believed it and sobbed and asked: Is it true? Just feed the big little squirrel, and my father will come back?

Sang Ye nodded affirmatively and compared his hand to a chubby figure that was even more chubby than the snow ball: That's right, as long as the little squirrel grows so big, your father will come back.

Tang Yuan'er had never seen a big squirrel. She didn't know that no matter how long the squirrel could grow, it wouldn't be bigger than a snow ball weighing more than ten pounds. She looked through the cage at the squirrel that was not as big as her mother's hand, and clenched her fist: I will definitely raise the little squirrel, and my father will come back soon.

At this moment, she completely forgot the domineering snow group and forgot the words she said not long ago that she would not raise a little squirrel.

Her ears finally became a little quieter, and Sang Ye felt no guilt in her heart of fooling her daughter. Looking at the Lantern Festival, who was still crying, she rubbed her forehead, lifted up her clothes with her fate, and held him in her arms to feed her, just asking this little ancestor to take a break.

I don’t know if there was no one to compete or the milk was too sweet, Yuanxiao cried a few times and then gradually subsided. Sang Ye sighed long, but when she thought that in the next period of time, she not only did not have a man to warm the bed, but also had to take two babies to sleep alone, and suddenly she wanted to cry even more.

No matter how tired I am, life still needs to continue.

I don’t feel anything, but my family is deserted if I don’t have any individuals at home. Mang Ye has to take care of the children and take care of the workshop. And there are a lot of things at the end of the year, so she doesn’t have so much time to miss her. If the old couple hadn’t helped her, she would have been so busy that she wouldn’t even be able to eat well.

What is gratifying is that the dumplings that are determined to feed squirrels of all sizes are no longer crying, and they are guarding the little squirrel all day long. Either feeding it food and drinking water, or chatting with it, muttering words about growing up as soon as possible, it will inevitably neglect the snowball.

Xuetuan is a cold cat. If you want to touch its hair, it depends on its mood. Now Tangyuan doesn’t care much about it during the day and doesn’t quarrel at night to hug it and sleep. Instead, it is unhappy and takes the initiative to approach Tangyuaner.

However, Tang Yuan'er's mind shifted to the little squirrel and was very cold to the rare pleasing behavior of Xuetuan. So the snowtuan exploded and attacked the weak, pitiful and helpless little squirrel on a dark night.

The next morning, when Tangyuaner fed the little squirrel, she found that something was wrong with the little squirrel and did not respond at all if she called it.

Woooo, Maoqiu, don’t die, don’t die. Tangyuaner hugged the bamboo cage and cried loudly. She wanted to open the cage and look at the little squirrel, but she didn’t dare to open it for fear that it would die in her hands.

The hairball is the name given to the little squirrel by Tangyuan. Its fluffy tail is like a ball when it comes to balls.

When Sang Ye rushed over to hear the sound, Tang Yuaner's snot and tears were covered with tears. Realizing that the little squirrel was not going well, she didn't care to wipe Tang Yuaner's face, so she quickly took the cage and carefully carried the little squirrel out.

The little squirrel collapsed in her palm, and her small body remained motionless. If it weren't for the fact that her belly was still rising and falling, it would be like she was dead.

Sang Yezai carefully checked and found that there was no obvious trauma on the little squirrel. He thought it had a disease, so he was very frightened, afraid that the virus would spread to the dumplings that had been in contact with it.

It was not until she saw that there were burrs outside the originally smooth bamboo cage, as if they were scratched by sharp cages that she guessed that it was the good thing that the snow ball did. She looked for it in the corner and found that the snow ball's hair was sure that it scared the hair ball like this.

Be good, stop crying, the hairball is fine. Mangye put the little squirrel back into the cage and began to wipe the tears of Tangyuan: The hairball was scared by the snow ball. You can feed it some delicious food later. Don’t let the snow ball enter the house to scare it, it will get better soon.

Is it true? Won't Maoqiu die? Tang Yuaner sobbed and asked, with hope in Hongtong's eyes.

Really, when did you fool you? Sang Ye is not guilty of saying this. She has never deceived her daughter. It is impossible to fool her daughter to raise a little squirrel larger than a snow group.

That's good, that's good. Tangyuaner breathed a sigh of relief as if he was a little adult, patted his chest and said: If the hair ball dies, I will pull out all the hairs of the snow balls.

Sang Ye said in surprise: Don’t you like snow balls the most? Will you pluck its hair for the hair ball?

Tang Yuaner frowned and said in a tangled manner: But I want my father to come back. If the snow group scares the little squirrel to death, the little squirrel will not grow up and the father will not come back.

Speaking of this, Tangyuaner was afraid that she would lose the little squirrel again, and her father could not come back, and her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very pitiful.

Sang Ye thought the little guy was bored with the old, but he didn't expect that it would be the reason. Thinking that most of her time spent taking care of the little squirrel in the past few days and gave up playing with her friends, he couldn't help feeling distressed: If you take care of the hairball so well, it will definitely grow up quickly, and your father will be back soon.

She did not correct Tang Yuaner's misunderstanding, so she had something to do and at least had a sustenance. If she explained it clearly, it might make her give up raising little squirrels and make trouble for her father everywhere.

Tangyuan was encouraged and a smile appeared on his little face: Yes, I will take good care of the wool balls and prevent the snow ball from scaring it.

Mangye touched her head and sent her out to play. He found a larger bamboo cage and put the wool ball in it. Even if the snow ball comes to cause trouble for it, he will not be able to touch it through the big cage.

As for the education snow group, this guy is slippery like a loach and holds a lot of grudges. If he teaches a lesson, his fat daughter will have to make trouble again.

However, Tangyuaner felt that he should punish the snow group. Although he did not whip it or pull a hair, he just broke the snow group's fish for three days. He gave it a small bowl of white rice every meal, and did not eat it.

Xue Tuan didn't realize his mistake at all, and could not understand it even though he was able to reason with it. He knocked it over with his claws at the bowl with only white rice. He turned around and grabbed a few mice and came back. He ate with relish in front of the owner of Tangyuaner. Xue Tuan was so angry that he screamed and drove it away with a broom.

Tangyuaner hates mice the most and can’t stand the snow group catching mice to play. In the past, the snow group was too lazy to move after eating and drinking, but they didn’t get fish these two days, so they started to catch mice to fill their stomachs. Of course, it may also be pure revenge on Tangyuaner. Who knows what the meow is thinking!

Having passed the palace, Zheng Lin, who was sheltering from the rain at a farmhouse, was also missing his wife and daughter.

A Lin, this is the ginger soup just made by the aunt. You should drink it while it’s hot. Sang Lin brought a steaming soup bowl with a full bowl of ginger soup: This is made with old ginger, it tastes good enough, and it won’t be cold after drinking it.

Zheng Lin did not refuse, took the soup bowl and blew it, enduring the pungent spiciness and drank it all in one mouthful.

I was not very lucky today. I came out of the city in the morning and was still sunny. Unexpectedly, the weather changed at noon. The group rushed to the next town and before they arrived, the rain started.

Although the carriage was waterproofed, the rain was too heavy, and if you drove on the road for a long time, it would inevitably get rain. The group decided to find a place to shelter from the rain. Finally, they found a village, so they found a family with free rooms in the village, and gave some money to borrow several houses.

Sang Lin pulled a chair and sat down. He listened to the sound of rain outside and said depressedly: It is rare to rain so heavily in the middle of winter, and I don’t know when it will stop.

Zheng Lin opened the window, looked at the sky outside through the window, and estimated that it was unlikely that it would stop tonight. Let's take a rest here for one night and see the situation tomorrow morning.

Sang Lin sighed: This is the only way to go.

When I go out, I hope everything goes smoothly. If the weather is sunny, I can rush more every day and reach the capital sooner. I can't rush the road. The cold and humid atmosphere makes people uncomfortable, and if I am not careful, I will easily get sick.

At this time, the old man from this family passed by the door and heard the conversation between the two. He smiled and said: This land is surrounded by mountains, and the rain is more than other places. In previous years, there are only ten days and half a month.

That's right. Every year during this season, this family will deliberately free up a few houses and rent them to passers-by who shelter from the rain. Who made this a must-pass way to the north? There are many business travelers and students who go to Beijing to take the exam, so they don't have to worry about renting them out.

Sang Lin suddenly became wilted and said annoyed: If I had known this, we would have been on the road a little longer than the weather two days ago. Now it was stopped by the rain, and I don’t know when we could leave.

Zheng Lin comforted: No hurry, we set out early and we will not miss the day we go to Beijing.

The old man also said: It's really hard to be anxious. There are bandits hidden in this mountain. You may lose money when you rush to the rain. They like to go down the mountain to rob at this time.

Sang Lin was startled: No, right? This place is very close to the Mansion City. No matter how brave the bandits are, they dare not block the road and rob, aren’t they afraid of attracting the Mansion City’s troops and being surrounded and suppressed?

The old man did not take his doubts to heart and explained: The bandit only seeks money and does not harm human lives, nor will they rob the money. They robbed the money and drilled into the mountains. A heavy rain washed them clean. Even if they reported it to the government, they would not be able to catch people.

And it's not a big case, and the government doesn't care much about it. Every time I send a few people to check it out, I don't even have a shock to the bandits.

Sang Lin was amazed at the ear: This bandit is quite moral!

Zheng Lin was speechless when he heard this. If he really had moral integrity, he would still do such a robbery. The reason why those bandits did not dare to hurt lives and did not dare to loot the money of passers-by was simply because they were afraid that they would annoy the government if they made a big deal.

Although the money you get will be less, at least you won’t be targeted by the government for your life. The business travelers who come and go will not sacrifice their lives for money, and it will be safe for them.

Or those so-called bandits are the common people living in the deep mountains. If they are hard in the mountains, they will form gangs and go down the mountain to rob wealth.

Thinking of these messy things, Zheng Lin did not plan to act as a hero and ran to fight the bandits, and said to Sang Lin: Safety is the most important thing. There is no need for the rest of the house to do this for the next few days, and it is okay to stay and wait for the rain to stop.
