Chapter 761: bitter summer

"Let me just say, the unlucky guy wanted to run away last night, his eyes flickered, he must have a guilty conscience, he didn't think about it, and he had two lives in his hand!"

Wufu took a bite of the big pancake and made comments from time to time. It was his wife, Li Haitang. If a woman could be an official, the wife could at least be a court judge.

"Ma'am, so I can only help you this time."

The leader of the official messenger frequently agreed with Wu Fu's words, and was about to continue to say good things, but was interrupted by Li Haitang. Last night, Li Haitang guessed that he was not a bandit when he brought that unlucky guy out, because he had observed Li Youcai's hands and found that they were soft and tender. Unexpectedly, he unintentionally solved a pending case for the magistrate.

case.

It is certainly annoying for the couple next door to do it themselves, but Li Youcai's actions were too vicious and extreme.

For this reason, she once again lamented the great sound insulation, especially when living in the city, where the houses are next to each other, separated by a wall, so you can't be too indulgent when doing things at night, otherwise people around you will hear it.

But the advantage of this era is that there are not many women who shout so boldly.

No matter in the town or in the village, a large family lives together. Before the child is six or seven years old, he almost always lives in the same room with his parents. Some families have a large population and it is really difficult, so a cloth curtain is drawn in the middle. That's all.

If you make a little movement, you will wake up the babies, so parents often use the excuse that there are mice in the house to prevaricate.

"I have something important to do, so I'm really sorry."

Li Haitang refused again. If there was nothing important, she couldn't waste time on the road.

The head of the bureaucracy talked all kinds of things, but he couldn't persuade Li Haitang, so he went back with his head drooping, otherwise, what else could he do? He was asking someone to do something, so he couldn't put a knife on someone's neck, could he?

Even if he did, he raised his eyelids to look at Xiao Lingchuan, and felt that the one whose head lost must be himself.

Get rid of the entanglement of official errands, and continue on the road with one heart.

During this trip, there were two carriages in total, one for Xiao Lingchuan and his wife with beanbags, and one for the maids and women in the back, so that they could sleep in the mountains, the carriage was spacious enough to sleep overnight.

Hearing the news in a hurry, Li Haitang divided the carriage according to his previous habits.

Above the head, let the carpenter build a row of cabinets, which are used to store bedding and sheets, which do not take up space and are also moisture-proof.

The bottom of the car stool is also empty, put some cushions, clothes and small objects, and the small table in the middle is divided into three drawers: upper, middle and lower.

Put some herbal tea and mint leaves on the top layer, food, dried fruit snacks, etc. on the middle layer, and some commonly used pills on the bottom layer.

It's hot, and it's easy to get angry when the heat is high. She looked at the cakes and melon seeds, and couldn't eat them.

After pouring a cup of herbal tea, Li Haitang brought it to her savage husband.

Xiao Lingchuan's back was already wet with sweat, he wiped the sweat with a cloth towel, and took a sip of the teacup.

After drinking the herbal tea, the heat in the whole body was relieved a lot, and the restlessness in my heart disappeared without a trace.

In the past, when walking life and death darts, I carried a cowhide water bag with me. When the weather was hot, the water was also hot, so I could only take a sip. How could a woman feel comfortable by my side.

Seeing that Li Haitang was about to come out to accompany him, Xiao Lingchuan hurriedly said, "Miss, you go in quickly, the sun is scorching right now, don't get caught in the heat."

"mother!"

Dou Bao yelled in the carriage, Li Haitang had no choice but to shrink back when he saw this.

Even though the windows were open, the car was still stuffy and hot. There were several red spots on Doubao's body, and there was prickly heat. Whenever it itched, his little hands would scratch.

Li Haitang sighed, thinking of finding a merchant to buy some ice cubes and put them in the carriage, so as to cool down the heat.

"Mother, draw."

Dou Bao fiddled with the rattle by himself, heard two crisp sounds, and then threw it aside.

Xiao Baozi's body is not bad, but he is very active, he climbed up and down in the carriage, in order to prevent him from bumping into each other, the sharp parts around the small table and the seat of the carriage were hemmed.

Li Haitang tried her best to satisfy Xiaobaozi's request, and she asked patiently, "Doubao, who do you want to see painted?"

"mother!"

Dou Bao thought for a while and replied.

"Well."

Li Haitang found the watercolors from the car seat. These were one of the toys of the bean bag. She was afraid of putting the bean bag in her mouth, so she always put it away.

The son asked for a self-portrait, and Li Haitang was very satisfied. Every time he drew a portrait of the savage husband and the servants of the family, this time, it was finally her turn.

Spreading out the drawing paper, she conceived for herself, and finally she blinked and made up her mind.

To draw a portrait of yourself, you must draw a beautiful face, with a three-point beauty effect, at least, you must make yourself a goddess.

In the past, Li Haitang had never been so serious about drawing others. She took out charcoal pencils from her purse and composed pictures on paper, where she drew houses, where she drew swings, gardens, and figures.

Seeing something inappropriate, she changed it again.

A painting with only myself always feels too monotonous, so, in order to show her beauty, Li Haitang grabbed five blessings to set off herself.

Put it in the distance, just draw the back of your own savage husband, which is more harmonious.

Thinking of this, Li Haitang started, and Doubao sat aside to watch carefully, and then saw that his mother could not finish the work, so he yawned and fell asleep.

During the whole afternoon, the carriage was speeding along the official road. Fortunately, Xiao Lingchuan drove smoothly, and the prepared watercolors did not spill out.

At sunset, Li Haitang finally finished the work, and the carriage also stopped at this time.

Even if it got dark today, he still couldn't enter the city gate, so he could only stay outside for the night, and Xiao Lingchuan was looking for a safer place.

In the afternoon, dark clouds pressed down, and it was estimated that there would be rain in the evening.

Surrounded by stone mountains, the raised stone walls in the mountains are just used as eaves to keep out the rain.

Li Haitang was dizzy, rubbed his eyes, took out his stuff, and lit a fire to cook.

The weather is hot, and people are prone to bitter summer, especially when it is going to rain, the air is full of stuffy smell.

"What would you like to have for dinner?"

Starting from the border town, Nanny Yu prepared some flour, japonica rice, and some mung bean noodles.

Xiao Baozi had to drink porridge with a bowl of minced meat custard, and it was a problem for the rest of them to eat.

"There are mountains around, I'll go to the mountains to have a look."

Xiao Lingchuan thought about adding two pheasants and grilling them with honey, or putting the chicken on skewers and sprinkling a handful of chili noodles.

"Make two servings, adjust one chili oil."

It happened that there were wild vegetables around, so Li Haitang picked some, blanched them with water, mixed them with mung bean flour, it was refreshing and relieved the heat, and if there were large pieces of chicken skewers, it would not feel greasy, on the contrary, it would whet one's appetite. Li Haitang pursed her lips, it would be good to go out with the savage husband, but if she was by herself, she might have to eat some hard pancakes to make do.
