Chapter 43 Being Robbed of a Marriage. Small Battle. Don't Run
The next day, in order to avoid the three aunts and six wives pouring into the house, Xiaosi and Lin Bo left the house before dawn and went to the city to help. Although the helper was very tired, at least his ears would be quiet for a day. Because Xiao Si got up too early, Xiao Si let out one after another and followed Lin Bo all the way to the city.
Lin Bo jokingly said: "Recently, there are so many marriage proposals coming to our family, are you interested! Don't be shy, tell your second brother, he will definitely help you!"
Xiao Si glared at Lin Bai viciously, "Don't carry any pot without opening it! That's not a good thing!"
Lin Bo slightly raised the corners of his mouth. He didn't think so much like Xiaosi and Li Jia. He simply thought that Xiaosi was unhappy because he already had someone he liked, so he didn't like being surrounded by those three aunts and six wives. Talking about the marriage, as for who Xiaosi likes, Lin Bo thinks he already has a candidate in his heart, Lin Bo lightly smiled and said indifferently: "If there is any good or bad, just let nature take its course, anyway, Dad doesn't care. I will marry you off casually!"
Xiao Si turned his head and glared at Lin Bo, really speculative, and Xiao Si walked forward angrily without saying a word to Lin Bo.
Lin Bo didn't take it seriously, the two entered the city one after the other, Xiao Si came to the small shop with a lesson learned from the past, and stopped wandering in the front hall, and went directly to the kitchen to help Master Lin make cream cakes .
Xiao Si had been busy all morning, making more than a dozen cream cakes. When he sat down to eat, Master Lin sat beside Xiao Si with the bowl and chopsticks. He couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth, "Master Lin, what's the matter?"
Master Lin nodded with a smile, "Xiao Si, can we change the taste of our cake like milk!"
Xiaosi was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "In theory, it is possible!" Xiaosi thought for a while and said, "Our current cake is just adorned with some fruits on the outside, and there is a lot of room for appreciation!"
Master Lin widened his eyes excitedly, "Is it really possible?"
"Really! Of course!" Little Four nodded, seeing Master Lin who excitedly talked to the child when he heard that there was something new to make, and said with a smile: "Master Lin, we can do it before baking. Add some nuts to the cake, or we can use jam to make some patterns on the cake, or add fruit juice or something to the milk to mix it! It must taste good!" Xiao Si couldn't help but yearn for it, wanting to Try something new.
"Is it really possible to do this!" Master Lin said a little excitedly: "I have thought about it several times, but I have never dared to do it for fear of affecting the original taste of the cake!"
Xiao Si raised the corners of his mouth, stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and said meaningfully: "It won't be affected, it will only become more and more delicious!"
Master Lin nodded excitedly, and said, "Let's try it later, okay, the cake in the afternoon should be enough to sell for a while! Don't rush to make it."
"Okay!" Xiaosi nodded in response, and after finishing lunch hastily, two people, one old and one young, wandered around the oven and the stove. The result was five different types of cakes, each with different tastes, but all delicious Very soon, Xia’s small shop was still sold out because of things, and Xiao Si touched his sore waist. It was a bit overwhelming after a busy day. Xiao Si said hello to Master Lin, and went to the front hall to find the The second brother who settles accounts.
Walking out of the back kitchen and walking into the store, you can see Xiao Yang's back in a hurry leaving from a distance. In a blink of an eye, the second elder brother is holding the abacus in his hand, and is stunned in the counter. The little four raised his eyebrows and walked to the counter, whispering, "Second brother!"
"What?" Lin Bo suddenly came back to his senses, "Is it you, Xiao Si?"
Xiaosi nodded, and asked doubtfully, "Master Xiao is here, what's the matter?"
Lin Bo frowned, "I have something to do, I'll tell you later! Why did you come to the front, something to do?"
Xiaosi nodded, "I have something to do, I'm tired, I don't want to wait for you, I want to go home first!"
"No!" Lin Bo immediately said, "Come with me today!"
Xiao Si curled her lips, "I used to walk by myself, so what is there to worry about?"
Lin Bo glanced at the small workers coming and going in the store, hesitant to speak, "Anyway, I can't do it today, I'll settle the bill soon!"
"Okay, okay!" Xiaosi nodded helplessly, and sat down on the stool next to Lin Bo, waiting for the big boss to settle the score.
Lin Bo was really fast, and the crackling of the abacus was extremely unpleasant. Xiao Si raised his head and looked at the way his second brother waved his fingers up and down, dazzled.
After a long time, Lin Bo put down his abacus and put the broken silver into his purse, put the remaining copper coins under the counter, hurriedly explained a few words to Xiao Gong, and then dragged Xiao Si to leave.
Lin Bo grabbed Xiao Si's arm, dodged the crowds, and walked out of Qingyang Chengcheng quickly.
As soon as he walked out of the city, Xiao Si, who was out of breath, shook off Lin Bo's hand, and gasped, "Huh...what's wrong with the second brother, his ass is burned, go, why are you walking so fast? Huh..."
Lin Bo also breathed heavily, "It's burning your ass, hurry up, let's talk as we walk!" Then he grabbed Xiao Si's hand and walked forward.
Xiao Si was pushed a few steps by Lin Bo, and shouted: "Second Brother, Second Brother, slow down, I'm going to be overwhelmed!"
Lin Bo turned his head to look at Xiao Si's flushed face, so he had to slow down. Xiao Si managed to catch his breath, and then asked Lin Bo, "What's wrong with Second Brother, please tell me first?"
Lin Bo sighed, and said eloquently, "Xiao Si, you saw Xiao Yang just now, didn't you?"
Xiaosi nodded, could it be that the second brother's return to normal has something to do with Xiao Yang?
Lin Bo frowned and said, "He's here to report!"
"What letter to report!" Xiao Si subconsciously said, already having a bad premonition in his heart.
Lin Bo frowned and stood still, turned around to look at Xiao Si and said, "Xiao Si, you should have heard from Dad and the others, isn't our newly appointed magistrate here?"
Xiaosi nodded, he was very impressed with that magistrate who bullied his male brother, Dad used the bad things done by that magistrate, and threatened him not to let him go out no less than twenty times.
Lin Bai was a little bit in control of his emotions, reached out and grabbed Xiaosi's arm, and shouted: "Xiao Yang said, the county magistrate wants to give you to the prince who is visiting Qingyang County."
Xiao Si was stunned, the blood that ran all the way faded away in an instant.I was actually taken by by corrupt officials, what a bloody plot!
Lin Bo looked at Xiao Si's pale face, let go of Xiao Si distressedly, and frowned to comfort him, "Things may not be the worst yet, Xiao Yang is the subordinate of Mr. Daoxian who was listening outside the box in the Xinyi Building today, and The magistrate of the county suggested that you should be arrested and dedicated to the prince in order to be superior, even if they want to come, they can’t come so soon, let’s go home and discuss with your father first, should we send you to another place overnight!”
Lin Bo gently pulled Xiao Si's arm and walked forward, "Go, go!"
Xiao Si followed Lin Bo forward numbly, his brain was still in a state of shutdown, why so many things happened during this period of time, one wave of unrest and another wave, the begging hasn't played yet, why is there another blind date, Xiao Si Reluctantly thinking, if you want to stay in this world quietly, should you slash your face twice.
Lin Bo and Xiao Si rushed to meet Xia's house, turned to the road where Xia's house was located, saw a large group of people from a distance, gathered around the door of Xia's house, both of them felt a little bit of a shock, Lin Bo asked Xiao Si to hide at the corner , walked forward by himself, the youngest four stood in the same place and looked around, the outermost group of people in the crowd were fellow villagers in the village, and the yamen servants in official uniforms were faintly peeking through the crowd!
Lin Bo gestured to Xiao Si to run quickly, but the crowd suddenly became restless. Xiao Si saw two coffins squeezed out from the crowd and grabbed Lin Bo. Lin Bo yelled at Xiao Si: "Run!" !"
Xiao Si walked out of the corner and panicked and wanted to run forward, but saw a man in a long gown, who followed him out of the crowd, pointed at himself and shouted, "It's him, it's him!"
A man in official uniform pushed aside the crowd and came out, his eyes were like a sharp knife, he was staring at Xiao Si, his whole body was full of obscene thoughts, and Xiao Si could feel it from such a distance, the dangerous aura .
Xiao Si stumbled back a few steps, stood firm, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the village, followed by an order from behind, "Catch him back."
Then there was a chaotic sound of collisions, Xiao Si subconsciously turned around to look, it turned out that the folks in the village had stopped those yamen servants, Xiao Si listened to the song and the constant voice from behind, "Little Si, run!" After a while, Xiaosi's heart felt sour when he heard it, and water stains overflowed from the corners of his eyes, blurring his vision.
Xiao Si kept walking with his head sullen, gasping for breath, and didn't stop until he reached the depths of the woods...
Standing in the woods with his back against a big tree to breathe, the water stains overflowing from the corners of his eyes have long been dried, and his heart is in a mess, worrying about his family, worrying about those folks who ran out protecting him, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, Xiaosi wants to run Going back, but knowing that going back like this will only waste the kindness of the folks.
Xiao Si was at a loss, wandering around in the woods like a headless fly, now he used to be an imposing seven-foot man, armed with a gun, although it is not very good to stretch out his hands, but it is easy to catch violence and safety, when did he ever be so useless, look Looking at myself now, I have to take a few quick steps to catch my breath, not to mention saving others, even self-saving is a problem, how can I save others.
Xiao Si has lived here for more than ten years, and he knows some of the officialdom here. Song Guo has done everything in order to be able to select good officials. Only those who have the six virtues and excellent qualities can officially pass the imperial examinations. The pre-conditions are still to select good officials. However, Emperor Shangao is far like Qingyang City, which has many remote towns, and has been forgotten. The current county without conscience Naturally, he was not a top scholar or a candidate from the imperial examination, but just spent money to donate a small official to the magistrate, and the government servants under him were also his own vicious slaves, who were simply vicious and committed all kinds of evil.
Xiaosi also wanted to find the superior who was shut down first, but the county magistrate was put in by the magistrate, so I'm afraid it's dark under the lights and there is no hope.Xiaosi sighed helplessly and raised his head to see the familiar scenery in front of him. The fence surrounded the simple wooden house. Xiaosi sighed softly and looked at the darkening sky. I walked into the room through the half-locked door, and sat on the stool by myself, probably because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and there was another thin layer of dust on the table.
Xiaosi didn't care if he was clean or not, he stretched out his hands indiscriminately, wiped it, lay down on the table, and tried to find a way. In this situation, if he went back, it would be like throwing himself into a trap, but if he didn't go, the folks in the village would still What would they do with their father!Xiao Si was so entangled in his heart that the corners of his eyes began to drip, Xiao Si raised his head and angrily wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, cursing in his heart that he was becoming more and more useless, and said that men do not cry easily!
Can't cry, Xiao Si held back tears for a long time, but tears still flowed down the corners of his eyes, falling on the table drop by drop, forming a small pool of water...
In the quiet indoor mountains, there are sometimes one or two bird calls, and Xiaosi's ears can only hear the sound of his eyes ticking. , the footsteps were clear and uncluttered, as if there was only one person, not here to catch him.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there was another soft creaking sound. Xiaosi could hear clearly that it was the sound of the fence being pushed aside. Xiaosi subconsciously stood up and turned to face the door.
The door was pushed, and in the dim light, Xiao Si saw a blurry shadow, and Xiao Si tried hard to see but could not see anything clearly...
But that person seemed to have seen Xiao Si clearly, closed the door in panic, turned around and ran away...
Xiao Si was stunned for a moment, and ran after him without even thinking about it. When Xiao Si chased to the door, the man had already pushed away the fence. He jumped forward and landed on the ground, making a "bang".Xiao Si lay on the ground, his whole body hurting from being smashed, his jaw just hit the stone, Xiao Si felt that his teeth were about to fall out of his mouth.
The person running in front of Xiao Si stopped and turned to look at Xiao Si.
Xiao Si stared at the man, saw a mask, the mask was dyed red by the setting sun, Xiao Si smiled bitterly in his heart, it was him, it really was him...
The man stared at Xiao Si closely for a while, gritted his teeth, turned around and took a step in Xiao Si's direction, then turned around and planned to continue running away.
Xiaosi lay on the ground, all the complicated emotions turned into anger, and shouted loudly at the person who wanted to run away, "Song Rongzhan, you still want to run, where are you going? Is it shameful if you disfigure yourself?" ? You come back to me..."
The man's stepping foot was retracted, he turned around mechanically, and looked at Xiao Si who was lying on the ground with complicated eyes...
