Chapter 209

Everyone can see that Xu's mother has an unusual relationship with Xu Qing, but so what? What's the matter with them? They only care about where the bamboo forest Xu Qing said is and whether there are many bamboo shoots.

Beard invited Xu Qing and Li Changting into the cave and sent Xu Niang away by the way.

Before Xu Qing spoke, Li Changting asked beard, "what's the situation of Xu's family?"

Beard replied, "just like everyone else, except for not enough food, everything else is OK. Oh, by the way, her daughter-in-law had a miscarriage in winter. If it wasn't for a doctor from Hezhou who saved her daughter-in-law's life in time, it would have been a corpse and two lives. I don't know what they think when they are pregnant and have children in this world? Old lady Xu and her son didn't give any reward for the medicine that the doctor took out by himself. On the contrary, they complained about the kindness of others. "

At that time, it was very popular in the village. The doctor came from Hezhou. He probably thought it was difficult to tear his face under the influence of others, so he didn't investigate.

Other people don't pursue him, but beard can't tolerate the people in his stronghold taking advantage of others. If it comes to Zhao Jian's ears, he would think that the people in his stronghold are bullying him.

So beard sent for old lady Xu to pay the doctor some food, more or less.

Old lady Xu is not happy. She said that she just lost her grandson. You are all facing others. Who can pity her?

Persuading is useless. Later, beard directly sent someone to tell him that if he didn't obey the rules, he would get out of the mountain stronghold. Mother Xu reluctantly sent some food to the doctor.

In his words, he didn't like Xu's family, and he didn't pick up the words because Xu was close to Xu Qing.

The three chatted in the cave for a while and happened to talk about salt.

Coincidentally, when it comes to salt, there are guards outside saying that General Zhao Jian is coming.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Xu Qing and his family quickly went out.

Zhao Jian brought a truck of salt. Besides salt, there was a boar!

The boar is not big, but it has been a year since they saw the beard of pork. Their eyes have been nailed to the boar, and they can't move.

As soon as we met, Zhao Jian expressed his gratitude to beard for helping to take care of the people in Hezhou. This boar was specially given to beard and his brothers.

"There's nothing to take care of. We all take care of each other." Beard smile polite two, also didn't refuse, "you this all sent, that I thick skin accept!"

Beard looked at the wild boar and said happily, "I'll kill the pig. Let's eat together."

"No, no, No Zhao Jian stopped him and said, "don't eat it first, save it for you tomorrow. Today I'm here to take the people of Jizhou back. Now the weather is fine, it's time to go back to farming. This pig doesn't have much meat, so we won't eat it."

Beard said: "in such a hurry? We just said that we would dig bamboo shoots and step on mushrooms in the afternoon, or you would stay with me for two days. Let's go to the mountains to look for game. Xu Qing said that she found a big bamboo forest, so you can bring some bamboo shoots back. "

Zhao Jian was said to be a little excited. Now who can refuse the temptation of food? Before long, he nodded his head and said, "OK, that's a nuisance."

"It's too late for me to welcome you. It's time to taste the fish cooked by my cook at noon!" Beard laughs brightly.

Seeing that Zhao Jian's soldiers were unloading salt, Xu Qing asked Zhao Jian, "is the price of salt still the same?"

"Yes, it's the same as before. It's just that you're here. Take a bag when you go back." Zhao Jiandao.

"OK, I'll take 50 Jin. I'll dig bamboo shoots on the mountain later, and then I'll give it to you." Xu Qingdao.

"All right." Zhao Jian answered and looked at Li Changting beside Xu Qing. He couldn't help but feel jealous and said, "brother Li, you're really enjoying your life now. Look at your figure. Everyone else is as thin as a bamboo pole. You're still so strong!"

Li Changting picked an eyebrow: "what do you like?"

Zhao Jianshun vomited bitterness: "in order to make the people below not hungry, I'm so worried that my hair will fall off, OK! I really regret being a general now. You're not high in rank, you don't have a salary, and you're still tired. You're comfortable. Just resign early and live your own life at home. "

Li Changting

Xu Qing laughed: "that's why you envy him in such a world. In peaceful times, your rank and status are popular, you have the right to have money, and you still envy a civilian?"

Zhao Jian also laughed, shook his head and said, "no, you don't understand. Even if brother Li is just a civilian, I envy him. If I have his martial arts and brain, I won't worry about anything."

With that, Zhao Jian said with a smile to Li Changting, "you see, you have been idle for so long. Do you want to consider going out of the mountain again? I can give you my place. I'll be a deputy general

Zhao Jian's words are sincere. From the beginning of the drought to the present, he has long wanted to give up. The imperial court would not give him anything except a few words of comfort. If he had the heart to rebel, the imperial court would have stood on its own for a long time!In the afternoon, we went to dig bamboo shoots together, including the people from Hezhou. We carried baskets on our backs and went to the mountains to find food.

This is the most beautiful time for mushrooms and ferns, especially after months of rain and sunny days, there must be a lot of game on the mountain.

Xu Qing saw Xu's family in the crowd. Xu Jie grew taller, but he was only 17 years old. He looked like a child in the crowd.

Xu Jie is followed by his daughter-in-law Cheng Yingying. Cheng Yingying is very thin. Maybe she had a miscarriage in winter and suffered a serious loss. She walks awkwardly and looks like she's too weak to faint at any time.

Xu Lao Niang and Xu Jie are not in charge of Cheng Yingying behind them. Let her keep up or not. But Cheng Yingying seems to be particularly afraid that Xu Jie will fall behind her, and has been following Xu Jie's steps.

Xu Qing's impression of Cheng Yingying still lingers in the summer of last year. At that time, Cheng Yingying was all over the village with silk and gold hairpin ornaments. She also wanted to buy fish accidentally caught from the underground river.

Who could have thought that in a twinkling of an eye, Cheng Yingying turned into a ghost.

However, her sister Cheng Qingqing, though despised by the villagers for setting up Li Changting, later married a bachelor in the village and lived much better than Cheng Yingying.

Although the man was a little rough, he was not bad. Since he married his daughter-in-law, he didn't have to eat and wear for a short time. During the Spring Festival, he bought two catties of beef for Cheng Qingqing, and Cheng Qingqing became a good daughter-in-law. She learned to wash clothes, cook and take care of the housework. By the way, she had a good relationship with the women in the village.
