Chapter 61： Task

Chapter 61 Mission

Xiao Ayu was so happy when she received candied haws for the first time.

"Grandma, you eat first." Xiao Ayu held the candied gourd in front of Mrs. Wang.

"Grandma doesn't like candy, you can eat it."

Xiao Ayu handed the candied gourd to the village chief Hu again: "Grandpa village chief, do you want to eat it?"

"I don't like to eat either. The village chief's grandfather is old. Only a well-behaved baby like you likes to eat." Village chief Hu said with a smile.

Xiao Ayu was still reluctant to eat it by herself, so she asked around with the candied haws.

The people of Hujia Village were naturally reluctant to grab the child's stutter, and they all shook their heads and smiled and said they would not eat it.

Little Ayu just nibbled and ate it. The first bite was so sweet that his eyes curved, and he took another bite, and the hawthorn melted in his mouth.

"Yeah, it's so sour!" Xiao Ayu covered her cheeks, so sour that tears came down.

Why is it sour?

"The village chief grandpa, the village chief grandpa, the candied haws are broken!" Xiao Ayu complained holding the candied haws, "I bought the bad ones!"

Village Chief Hu: "It's not bad, candied gourd is sweet on the outside and sour on the inside. That's what it tastes like. If it's not sour, it's bad."

At this moment, Xiao Ayu looked at the bunch of candied haws left in his hand, and there was no sense of happiness in his eyes.

even had a little fear, God, there are so many sour fruits, she can't finish eating.

No wonder adults don't like to eat it, Ayu's teeth will be sour for such a sour fruit!

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they looked at her small appearance.

At night, everyone dared not leave their original positions, for fear that they would have to queue up again.

All villagers who came to collect food rested on the spot.

Is the night in early spring also cold? Fortunately, everyone squeezes me, and I squeeze you, and it can also make up a little bit of warmth.

The villagers unloaded the scooter and used it as a hard bed, and two people slept in a scooter.

There are four scooters in total, which can sleep eight people. For the remaining few people, they simply put the baskets upside down, and barely lay on it and fell asleep.

Little Ayu also lay on the scooter, snuggled beside Mrs. Wang, pointed to the stars in the sky and asked, "Grandma, what kind of star is that?"

"That, it's Vega, and in a few hours, an Altair will slowly rise, and there is a very beautiful story between them..." Mrs. Wang told Xiao Ayu about the stars in the sky. From the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Mrs. Wang's storytelling is not as dry as ordinary people, and she will even tell the original stories more full.

Not to mention Xiao Ayu, even the other villagers around were mesmerized.

Someone even said: "Old lady, you say one more thing, one more thing."

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes: "Mr. Storyteller, tell me a story, the judges said that you want to give a penny, how much are you going to give?"

That person: "..." Well, let's not listen.

Little Ayu closed her eyes and fell asleep. Old Mrs. Wang hugged her again and said softly to her, "Good boy, sleep in peace."

Little Ayu fell asleep, and Mrs. Wang kept looking at her.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were extremely gentle. She seemed to be looking at Xiao Ayu, and she seemed to be seeing other people through her.

No one noticed that on the roof of the county government office not far away, a young boy sat quietly, looking at the picture of harmony below.

Without blinking, he looked at the sleeping little man, as if envious of her sweet sleeping face.

Suddenly, he yawned.

He was a little surprised, it had been a long time since he had been sleepy so early.

What's more, it's still a strange place.

"Young Master, you are sleepy, let's go back." Chi Jia suddenly appeared beside him.

"Um."

Qin Huai flew into a courtyard behind the county government under the leadership of Chi Jia, without disturbing anyone.

The next day, the villagers of Hujia Village finally received food. Not only did they fill up four trolleys and several baskets, but they also had more than 20 bags.

can make some villagers jealous.

It looks like a lot, but you must know that there are more than 700 people in their village waiting to eat and plant, and this food is barely enough.

Lieutenant Cao Xian brought a few officials out, followed by a donkey cart.

"I have done a good job in protecting the imperial envoy before you. I specially give you grace this time. I will lend you this donkey cart for the time being." Cao County Lieutenant said, "These yamen officers will come back to Hujia Village with you, and they will bring the donkey cart to you. Come back."

People in other surrounding villages suddenly realized this when they heard this. No wonder their food seemed to be a lot more. It turned out that they had saved the imperial envoy!

What a good official the imperial envoy is. Since he came, there has been much less trouble with the common people in Yongding County. At least on the surface, the wealthy gentry did not dare to oppress the villagers.

Some people from other villages smiled and said to the people of Hujia Village: "You have accumulated great merit. If you hadn't rescued the imperial envoy in time, maybe we wouldn't be able to get the food now!"

"Isn't that true? It was only after the imperial commissioner took office that he drove out the corrupt officials, and we only knew that there was still food for disaster relief!"

"I heard that the imperial envoy was hunted down before, because someone knew—" Before the villager could finish speaking, others around him covered their mouths.

"You don't want your life, say anything! Don't talk nonsense here if you don't have anything you usually hear. People talk a lot. When people say you slander and spread rumors, I think you won't be able to eat and walk around!"

The people from Hujia Village didn't go there. Listen carefully to what they said. In addition, they have to send the food back quickly. It will take several hours on the way. Who knows what will happen.

Their Yongding County is really too poor, and it is precisely because it is too poor that there are bandits here too.

Fortunately, they were accompanied by an official messenger, and they had a bottom line in their hearts.

The    trolley was already full of food, and it was wrapped tightly with ropes. The villagers reserved a space in the middle for Xiao Ayu.

Now, Xiao Ayu can sit in the small nest in the middle.

【Bao, do you remember when I told you there was a mission? 】

【The mission condition is now triggered! you go! 】

Little Ayu just climbed onto the scooter and sat down when he suddenly heard the voice of the dumpling.

Xiao Ayu looked blank: "Ah, what mission? But... we're leaving."

[It was triggered just now, and now there is a person in the alley over there who needs the water of all souls, you hurry up. 】

【If you don’t go, it will be too late, that person is dying! 】

Xiao Ayu heard this and knew that it was serious, so she quickly stepped on her short legs, slid off the scooter, and went to the alley that Danzi said.

Mrs. Wang saw that Xiao Ayu suddenly left the trolley, and quickly followed two steps: "Ayu, where are you going?"

"Grandma wait for me, I'll be right back!" Xiao Ayu shouted without looking back.

"Don't run around, come back quickly." How could Mrs. Wang feel at ease, she quickly followed Xiao Ayu and said hello.

Xiao Ayu ran into the alley that Tuanzi said, and turned another corner, and suddenly smelled a strong **** smell.

She saw a man lying in a pool of blood. The man was dying, but his eyes were like torches. Hearing someone coming, his eyes suddenly became dangerous.

The hand covering the wound moved to the side, holding a hidden weapon.

Danzi felt a dangerous aura, but the task reminded him that the other party was the rescue target, and he was a little confused for a while, and he didn't know whether to remind Xiao Ayu.

Mainly it has never encountered such a situation before.

Xiao Ayu didn't know anything, she saw the man was bleeding and ran over quickly.

"Uncle, you are bleeding, does it hurt? It must be painful, woohoo, a lot of blood."

Xiao Ayu saw the blood on the man's body still flowing, and suddenly felt that he was also in pain, and tears that never flicked followed.

I don't know why, but when the man saw the little baby in front of him, he shed tears at himself, and the hand that was holding the hidden weapon loosened.

is just a child.

【Give him some water. 】

When Xiao Ayu ran over, he had already taken out the water in the space according to Danzi's reminder.

Of course, the water is filled with the bamboo water cup that Lao Wangtou carved for Xiao Ayu.

It's only the size of Xiao Ayu's palm, but it can only hold two sips of water in it.

"Uncle, drink water." Xiao Ayu handed over the cup.
