Chapter 69 Conceive Ye
Shanzi came to find Xu Xinger after dinner early in the morning. Who knew that there were only Yao'er's mother and Yao'er at home. As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard Yao'er shouting, "Brother, Sister Xing'er was taken away by the official!"
"Ah?" Shanzi was shocked when he heard the words. He quickly reached out and grabbed the medicine that came over. He turned his head and asked Yao's mother, "Third aunt, what's going on?"
"I just got up early in the morning, the official knocked on the door and said that he would take Xing'er to the city to ask questions." Seeing that Shanzi's eyes turned red in anxiety, Yao'er's eyes quickly comforted him, "Your third uncle went into the city with Xing'er. He has a good relationship with the catcher of the county government. The official who came today is also polite. He just said that Xing'er should go to the city to make things clear. It doesn't look like there is a big deal. Don't worry too much."
Although that's the words, Shanzi also understood that Yao'er Niang was just comforting himself. He frowned for a moment and touched Yao'er's head and said, "Well, I know. Since the third uncle followed him into the city, I think it should be appropriate. I'll go to Xing's house first and send her a letter before saying anything else."
When Yao'er's mother heard this, she nodded and said, "This is reasonable. Xing'er's family may be worried. Don't worry too much on the way. Be careful."
Shanzi nodded, ran home from his box, took out the money close to him, and accelerated his pace to Xingyuan Village. His footsteps are still solid, but his heart has been in a mess for a long time, and he doesn't know how Xu Xinger is now.
Xu Xinger's house didn't know what had happened at this time. Taoer had breakfast, walked around the door, ran home and said happily, "Dad, mother, those scary people outside have left."
Ye was a little relieved when he heard the words, but he still turned his head and looked at Xu Laosan and said, "What's wrong with Xing'er? Why did the officials of the county government come? Although people have withdrawn now, why do I always feel unsteady, as if something is going to happen?
Xu Laosan squatted in the kitchen and smoked. In fact, he was also very anxious at this time, but he didn't want to show it in front of the Ye family. He took another sip of smoke and comforted him, "Since the official has left, it should be okay. Don't think about it. Didn't Brother Cheng come to deliver letters and say that Xing'er went to the Wu's house to hide? The Wu family is better than us. We are well-informed and knowledgeable, and it must be all right.
"I hope so." Ye sighed and said to Xu Laosan, "Don't go to the ground today. Go to Wu's house to thank them, and then pick up Xing'er back."
Xu Laosan finished smoking the cigarette in the cigarette bag, reached out to the ground of the stove pit and knocked it a few times. He got up and put on his coat and said, "Ok, then you can look at the child at home. Don't go out if you have nothing to do. I'll go to Xishan Pass to have a look."
Ye quickly took out dozens of money and handed it to Xu Laosan in his purse and said, "You put the little egg in the basket outside, and then go to the village to cut two catties of meat, and then wrap some cakes and sugar cubes. I heard from Xing Er that there was a little girl in her master's family, who gave a tooth sacrifice for the child."
Xu Laosan nodded, took the money and went out. As soon as he went out, he saw Shanzi standing opposite Brother Cheng. Shanzi's hand was still holding Cheng's collar. Both of them looked very strange. They quickly came forward and separated them and asked, "What is this?" Shanzi, why did you come here, where's Xing'er? Why didn't you come back with you?"
Shanzi had a calm face and stared at Brother Cheng and said, "Didn't you have a lot of reason just now? Why are you dumb now? You said it!"
Brother Cheng bit his lower lip and shrugged his head. After a long time, he turned around to face Xu Laosan and couldn't say a whole word for a long time.
Xu Laosan was anxious and urged, "What kind of riddle are you two fighting? If you have anything to say, tell me quickly!"
"Uncle Xu..." Brother Cheng didn't say anything, but suddenly cried, "Uncle, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
When Shanzi saw him like this, he snorted coldly and whispered, "You are a coward!" Then he looked up and said to Xu Laosan, "Uncle Xu, when Brother Cheng talked to you last night, he was heard by the official outside. Then after he came out, the official called him over to ask questions, and he asked everything."
Speaking of this, Shanzi stared at Brother Cheng with contempt and continued, "So early this morning, the official went to my third uncle's house to take Xing'er to the city to ask questions."
As soon as Xu Laosan heard this, he was stunned. When he reacted, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shanzi's shoulder with both hands, and asked, "What about Xing'er now? How's it going now?"
"Uncle Xu, don't worry, keep your voice quiet, and don't let my aunt hear it." Shanzi tried to stabilize his body and held Xu Laosan's arm and said, "My third uncle went into the city with Xing'er. The catcher of the county government has a good relationship with my third uncle. Xing'er should not suffer anything. When I knew Xiner, the person had been taken away, and I couldn't help me in entering the city. Just come and send you a letter first. Let'll We have to think of a way first and hide it from your aunt before saying anything else.
Xu Laosan's whole body is confused, and his mind is blank. He is the most ordinary flat-headed people. There is no weight in talking and doing things in his village, let alone in the city. No matter how can Xing'er do it, she is only ten years old now, not to mention her indifferent nature, in case something is wrong. It's not a trivial matter to commit any crime against an official.
Shanzi was also very flustered at this time, but looking at Xu Laosan's anxious and confused look, he could only pinch his arm hard, try to wake himself up and try his best to think about problems.
"Uncle Xu, come back and let's go into the room together. Just don't talk. I'll tell my aunt." Shanzi didn't explain much and pulled Xu Laosan into the door, "Aunuch, Taoer."
"Brother Shanzi!" Taoer ran over happily, "Is my sister back too?"
"No, your sister is going to stay at my third uncle's house for a few days." Shanzi patted Taoer's head and went into the room and said, "Auncle, my third uncle is rarely free these days. He said that he wants to take the test of what medicinal herbs Xing'er has known recently and teach her more. Although our two families are not far away, they are not close. It's too troublesome to run back and forth. My third aunt said, why not leave Xing'er at home for a few. Day, I'll come and send you a letter."
Ye was reasonable when he heard Shanzi's words, so he didn't feel suspicious. He just said shyly, "I just told Xing'er's father to pick up Xing'er and send something to your third uncle's house by the way. Last time he sent me so many medicinal materials, and now he still tries his best to teach Xing'er. This is really, I don't know how to report it. It's good to answer."
"Aunuch's words are out of the past. The third uncle is Xing'er's master. Isn't this all right!" Shanzi didn't dare to say more to Ye. He was afraid that he would accidentally talk about it, so he quickly cut into the topic and said, "My aunt cleaned up the clothes Xing'er usually wear. I'll bring them to her. Maybe she will stay for a few days and prepare for a change."
"Yes, yes, you are still thoughtful." Ye nodded repeatedly, turned out a bag, took out two relatively good clothes for Xu Xinger, packed up her close-fitting underwear and cloth socks, and wrapped them together and handed them to Shanzi, "Then please take them back, and the eggs brought to your third uncle's family, and you can also bring them back."
"Auncle, I didn't carry a basket today. I have to go shopping in the city later, and then go straight home from the city. I won't take the things. I will definitely bring your feelings to my third uncle when I go back." Shanzi took the burden and pushed that he was in a hurry to enter the city. When he walked out, he secretly stepped on Xu Laosan's foot.
Xu Laosan was shocked and said, "Shanzi, are you in a hurry to enter the city? It's just that I should go to get your aunt's medicine. I'll take you by car, so it's faster. After saying that, he followed the mountain out of the house.
