Chapter 224： have a finger in the pie

Chapter 224: Nosy

The man did not come down immediately, nor did he say anything idle. With just a few gestures, soldiers quickly brought everyone's luggage with them.

All the women, even Li Laosi and others, were helped onto horses and rode together with the soldiers.

Hua Ruyue approached Xintinghou intentionally or unintentionally, and wanted to join him, but was picked up by a cavalryman and thrown behind him.

The people came with great momentum, and walked even more neatly, without any sloppiness. It took less than a cup of tea before and after, and the foot of the mountain was empty.

Hua Ruyue sat behind the soldier. She didn't want to hug the soldier in front of her tightly, but there was no saddle where she sat. If she didn't hug him tightly, she would fall off, which made her frown and grit her teeth secretly.

It's only five or six miles away, so I rode hard and arrived at the dock in the blink of an eye.

There were seven or eight large boats waiting by the river. Everyone dismounted and began to board the boats.

The women may have felt safe, but for a moment their legs felt weak and they didn’t want to move.

Hua Ruyue lost her hairpin and one of her shoes while jolting on the horse just now. Now her hair is disheveled and she is in a mess.

They wanted to sit down and rest, but the soldiers shouted, "Get on the boat quickly, do you want to die? Why bother to rescue you? Don't you know that the barbarian army has already advanced? Leave quickly!"

The women were frightened and stood up one after another, but they couldn't help but complain.

“Why are you so fierce? I am already very tired, and I can die if you just help me.”

“That’s right, my legs are weak, please carry me quickly.”

This is coquettish, that is irritating, more than 20 women together are really more troublesome than a flock of ducks.

The twenty soldiers who had followed them into the mountain were now hiding far away, eager to avoid getting involved with these troublesome women.

The group of soldiers responsible for taking care of the women were so angry that they whipped their whips without being polite at all.

“Hurry up and get on the boat. If you dare to say one more word, I will throw you off! If you fall into the hands of the barbarians, you will regret it!”

Hua Ruyue looked around, and when she saw that Marquis Xinting had disappeared, she became a little anxious and urged everyone, "Get on the boat and wait until we get to the south of the Yangtze River."

The women got on the boat and then collapsed directly on the deck, refusing to move any more.

On the boat next door, Mr. Ye was talking to Li Laosi, "You have been delayed for too long this time. My aunt is worried about it, so she and her second brother came to greet you. They just arrived at noon, and they brought Fu Niu with them."

Li Laosi felt guilty after hearing this and was worried about being scolded, so he quickly said: "I didn't expect that this trip would be delayed for so long. The Marquis must intercede for me, otherwise my mother will definitely not let me come out in the future."

Mr. Ye laughed when he heard this, "I can't help. If my aunt starts nagging me, I will be defeated. You can think of a way on your own."

Jiayi and Liu Yang were very tired at first, but now they felt happy. Sometimes they went into the cabin to take a look, and sometimes they went to pet Mr. Ye's **** horse.

Hua Ruyue, who was on the next boat, finally discovered them. Seeing Li Laosi and Mr. Ye chatting and joking like this, she suddenly regretted it.

Originally they thought that this Li Laosi was just the steward of Mr. Hou's village, but looking at his appearance, they might have guessed wrong.

This is obviously very familiar and close!

Had she known this, along the way, she had lowered her profile to gather more information and made more friends.

Thinking of this, she blamed her sisters, none of whom were capable, for not being able to seduce Li Laosi along the way.

But now it's too late to say anything. We can only go to Jiangnan and plan slowly.

The boat arrived at the pier on the other side in less than two-quarters of an hour. Someone immediately came up to help lead the horse and unload the things.

Jiayin hugged the second uncle's neck, stepped on the second uncle's palm with her little feet, and tried to run up, hoping to see further.

When she finally saw her father, she shouted loudly, "Dad, Daddy!" Li Laosi vaguely heard the movement, and after just one glance, he jumped onto the pier and ran over in big strides.

“Mother! Second brother! Fu Niu!”

As soon as he ran up to him, his arm was pulled by his mother.

Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she took off her cloth shoes and opened them with a bang on her son's back.

Originally, my son would be able to return home after leaving home for only two or three days, but as a result, he had to wait for nearly a month.

In the past month, my family has been afraid to eat or sleep, and my hair has turned gray due to worry.

Mrs. Cui sent people to ask three times. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she brought her son and granddaughter to look for him.

As a result, my son actually showed his big white teeth and still had the nerve to smile!

How could she not be angry?

Jiayin was relieved to see that her father was not injured at all except that he was a little thinner. He smiled and looked at grandma waving her shoe soles and secretly slapping her hands from time to time.

Li Laoer was amused. He patted his niece and asked Jiayi and Liu Yang, who were shrinking their necks next to them, "How are you? Are you injured?"

"No, no!" Jiayi and Liu Yang shook their heads quickly and took two steps back, fearing that they would also eat the soles of their shoes.

At this time, Hua Ruyue and others also got off the boat. Seeing the noise from the Li family, Hua Ruyue pushed a woman.

The woman trimmed her hair, stepped forward quickly, stopped in front of Mr. Li, and shouted at Mrs. Li anxiously, "Who are you, and why did you hit me, Brother Li? Brother Li is ours." "My benefactor, if you want to hit him, hit me first."

Old Mrs. Li couldn't bear to hit her son. When she heard the sound just now, it actually didn't hurt at all. It was just like knocking dust off her shoes.

But just as she was about to put away the soles of her shoes, she was suddenly interrupted. She was stunned while holding up the soles of her shoes.

Who is this woman? Why are you protecting the fourth child?

Jiayin’s eyes widened even more.

What happened this month?

Daddy, is he cheating on you? Is he cheating on you? !

Li Laoer thought of his younger siblings at home, who had to be busy in the valley, and also missed his husband. He had become very thin during this period.

Unexpectedly, his younger brother actually provoked other women outside. He also got angry and asked, "Fourth brother! What's going on? Are you doing bad things outside?"

Li Laosi was even more confused.

Although this woman often came to his side on the way out of the mountain, he did not say a single unnecessary word or give her an unnecessary look.

At this moment, this woman suddenly came up to her and seemed to be close to her. What was going on?

He subconsciously pulled the woman and threw it aside. Then he pulled the sole of my mother's shoe and swung it at himself, "Mom, keep hitting, keep hitting! I don't know this person!"

Seeing that her son's face was red with anxiety, Mrs. Li put on her cloth shoes and glared at her son fiercely, "You're useless, I'll take care of you after I get home."

The woman was thrown to the side, and she was so painful that she burst into tears. She still wanted to speak, but she was already crying due to the good news.

“Dad, wuwu, you don’t want me and my mother anymore, wuwu, you are a bad person, a bad person!”

Li Laosi saw his daughter's chubby finger pointing at him, crying so hard that her tears were like broken beads. He almost went crazy with heartache, so he hugged his daughter and coaxed her away.

“Daddy is wrong, daddy is wrong, if Fu Niu doesn’t cry, daddy doesn’t want you and your mother, really, daddy is wrong!”

It's a pity that he refused to listen to the good news. He hugged his father's neck tightly and continued to cry at the top of his lungs.
