Chapter 185: Terrified
Mr. Ye was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and smiled, "Uncle, I ordered the people below to look for it, so I don't know very well. But these are all good things, and they should be cultivated in the village. This place is close to Kyoto. It will definitely be sold at a good price when the time comes.”
The village chief uncle smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I think so too. This land is looked after by young men during the day, and patrols are also arranged at night."
He pointed to a small open space and said, "It's been sorted out over there. A shack will be set up in a few days, and Lao Zhao and the others will take turns living there. The melons are growing so well, so we can't let someone's ignorant livestock harm them." "
"Okay, uncle will make arrangements. If there's anything difficult, if I'm not here, just ask Mr. and Mrs. Yeshan."
Mr. Ye felt the tension of the little girl in his arms and patted her back gently. Jiayin breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
“Oh, I can’t bring you any more trouble.” The village chief uncle clicked his pipe pot twice and sighed, “Now the village has finally settled down. If we work harder in the future and everyone is willing to contribute, we will slowly take root.”
The two chatted for a few words, and Mr. Ye took the good news and walked towards the valley.
Jiayin secretly took a look at Mr. Ye's profile and saw that he had no intention of asking any more questions, so she became happy and chatted away.
Mr. Ye walked slowly, holding a chubby little girl in his arms. She was heavy and pressed her arms. She spoke in a soft voice and shook her head happily from time to time, which made him smile in his eyes.
He likes the Li family, not just because the Li family took him in and took good care of him when he was seriously ill, nor is it because this magical little girl took out a small pill and saved his life.
But the peace and warmth of the Li family are too attractive to him, a man who has been walking on a knife's edge for half his life.
When he was killing enemies outside, when he was injured, or when he was cold or hungry, he would subconsciously think of the Li family courtyard.
Thinking of the nagging old lady Li, the hot meals, and this chubby little girl...
Jiayin saw that he was in a daze, his expression of joy gradually turned a little sad. She didn't know what he was thinking, but she felt sad.
So she asked Mr. Ye to carry her on his back, and then walked home, one big and one small.
As they approached the gate of the courtyard, Jiayin carefully approached Mr. Ye and whispered in his ear, "Uncle, when I grow up, I will provide for you in old age, just like you are filial to my parents. Okay?"
"Okay." Mr. Ye smiled and asked in a low voice, "Fu Niu has to work hard to make money. You have more and more people to support."
Under the eaves of the corridor, Mrs. Cui was looking around. When she saw them coming back, she greeted them, "The Marquis is back and will go out to look for you. There are mosquitoes at night. Fu Niu attracts mosquitoes and always bites her all over."
Jiayin jumped down and ran towards Mrs. Cui with a smile. When she took her into her arms, she acted like a baby and said, "Sister, Fu Niu wants to have some snacks!"
Before Mrs. Cui could agree, Old Mrs. Li had already come out of the house, "No, eating snacks at night will easily rot your teeth. If you are hungry, ask your mother to steam custard for you!"
Jiayin stuck out her tongue and made faces at grandma, making both Mrs. Cui and Mr. Ye laugh.
Soon, Tao Hongying prepared dinner.
Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou have not returned yet, but with Mr. Wen here, the family is not worried about their food and accommodation.
Mr. Ye brought Ye Shan and Dongmei, and Mrs. Cui brought Sister-in-law Qiong, and they all had dinner at Li's house.
So men and women were separated and two tables were set up. The woman was sitting on the kang in the east room, while Mr. Li, Mr. Ye, and the others, along with Jiaren Jiayi and other brothers, were sitting in the main room.
Tao Hongying made four dishes, steamed cabbage and pork dumplings, and paired them with golden millet porridge.
After a busy day, especially after drinking at noon, eating home-cooked food like this is so heart-warming and comforting.
The women chatted, and the men chatted while eating. It was very lively inside and outside the house.
Jiayin sat on her special little stool, which was barely as high as the kang table. She scooped out the egg custard with a spoon and ate a big steamed dumpling to fill her belly. After dinner, Mrs. Li stayed with Mr. Ye at home. Although his yard was tidied up, it was not as comfortable as her own.
Mr. Ye also readily agreed, so there was a big fuss on the big Kang in the west room that night.
Jiayi, Jiaan and Jiaxi all gathered around Ye Gongzi and asked him to tell the story of killing barbarians. Jiaren sat aside with his book in hand.
Mr. Ye picked the ones that were less **** but more dangerous and talked about a few. He heard several boys exclaim from time to time, but their blood was also boiling.
Jiayi wanted to follow Mr. Ye to kill the enemy immediately. Li Laoer immediately poured cold water on his son, "You and your fourth uncle are the only ones in the family who are better at it. You went to kill the barbarians. You are the only fourth uncle. If anything happens, you won't be able to take care of it." Ah. If you wait a few years, the barbarians will be in Jiangbei, and they won’t be able to kill them all in a short time.”
Mr. Ye also nodded, "The barbarians have completely occupied Jiangbei. They are riding horses and coming and going like the wind. They can't finish them all in a short while. The court also said that they can recover the rivers and mountains within ten years, which is already an optimistic plan."
Jia Yi did not insist on it. Now that he has just settled in the village, and there is a cornucopia of hot spring valley, everyone is jealous.
Even if he followed Mr. Ye, he would still miss his family.
There was no talking all night, Mr. Ye slept soundly accompanied by the snoring of the boys from the Li family.
Woke up early and ate a bowl of hand-made noodles cooked in bone soup, and then took people to Kyoto.
The weather is so nice that it’s a pity to sit indoors.
So Mrs. Li spread a piece of linoleum in the yard and threw a few futons. The old and young ladies sat together and did needlework.
The bedding at home has been taken out, washed, and dried thoroughly, giving it the smell of sunshine.
Jiayin lay among the quilts, rolling around and giggling from time to time.
Old Mrs. Li and the others were sewing while they were on guard, and they also laughed along with them.
At this time, Li Laosi finally came back.
The old girls quickly called him and sat next to him, asking, "What's going on? Has the government found out?"
Li Laosi scooped up half a ladle of cold water and drank it. He nodded and said, "Guo Qing has all the witnesses and material evidence, and he can't rely on him. He'll kill them all in just a few strokes. He bribed a group of Jianghu people and deliberately intercepted and killed Guo Qing." Family. It was agreed in advance that he would share half of the money recovered. But things went so smoothly that the Jianghu people became greedy and divided into two groups. One group came back, and the other group stayed in the north to fight with some bandits and planned to continue. They killed people and stole money, but before they could continue their evil deeds, they encountered us.”
Everyone was frightened when they heard this, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
“Fortunately you were very careful at the time, otherwise you would have suffered a loss.”
“Yes, he is actually a Jianghu man, not a bandit.”
"This Guo Qing is really cruel. He killed his cousin just like that."
“If a person is greedy, he can do anything.”
“I still have to thank Dr. Zhang. Without his poison, if most of those people were poisoned to death first, how could the young people in our village beat the Jianghu people..."
“There’s also Sister-in-law Qiong, who’s been a big help.”
Everyone was talking about it, and they were all afraid.
Li Laosi looked around, and when he didn't see Dr. Zhang, he asked, "Where is Dr. Zhang? He is so amazing. Mr. Guo woke up on the road, but half of his body could not be used. Mr. Liu helped send him there. I went to the hospital and gave him acupuncture in time, but the doctor said I wouldn’t be able to walk anymore.”
