Chapter 1235 There Are Officers and Soldiers
The mute still had a few hundred taels in his hand, but no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find it. She knew that that dead girl was as smart as anything, and she probably hid the silver.
Otherwise, she would have turned that room upside down, but somehow, she didn't find the money.
In addition to the five hundred taels that Uncle Wu gave, speaking of it, Aunt Wu was more than heartbroken, but she couldn't do anything about it, how could she dare to make a move now, and everyone in the village was looking at her.
"Grandpa..." Xiaobao tugged at Fifth Uncle's hand.
"What's wrong?"
Uncle Wu squatted down and touched Xiaobao's small face. He has lost weight this time. When Xiaoya was around, he was still a chubby child, but now his little face is sunken.
"Xiaobao saw that aunt stealing Xiaobao's eggs to eat."
Xiaobao pouted his little mouth, and even scooped up so many eggs for him to eat. When his aunt was here, Xiaobao ate them all by himself.
When Uncle Wu heard this, he sighed and gasped in his heart. This is the adoptive daughter that Aunt Wu found for him. Even if Wu Wu didn't have any children in his life, he wouldn't want such a dirty hand and foot.
As for the fact that Junlan ate the eggs secretly, she thought it was unnoticed. Every time she steamed eggs for Xiaobao, she would stuff a big spoon into her mouth. I can't tell how much the egg is missing?
She really ate half of Xiao Bao's eggs in Xiao Bao's mouth.
Uncle Wu didn't believe it at first, but in the end he really got caught.
He saw with his own eyes that Junlan lifted the lid of the pot, and also took out a bowl of steamed eggs from it, and took a bite directly, but after a while, he felt unsatisfactory, and after another bite, the rest There were not many of them, but when Junlan came out, she saw Uncle Wu standing at the door of the kitchen at some time.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and her face was very hot. She felt that Uncle Wu must have seen her stealing eggs just now.
"Uncle..." She yelled, lowered her head and walked away quickly, just not wanting to be scolded by Uncle Wu for a while.
In the following days, Junlan was always worried that Uncle Fifth would tell Aunt Five about her stealing food, and what if Aunt Fifth despised her and sent her back?
Her house doesn't even have a room for her, let alone such a soft quilt, and what she eats every day is fine grains, and she doesn't work in the fields. Even if she is beaten to death, she doesn't want to go there again Those old days.
So she has become a little more obedient in the past few days, her hands and feet are more diligent than before, and even her mouth is sweeter, which made Fifth Aunt full of praise for her.
But Junlan's heart was relieved at this moment, and she was also thinking in her heart, maybe Fifth Uncle really didn't see anything, after all, she had her back to Fifth Uncle, otherwise, Fifth Uncle would have told Fifth Aunt Well, if Fifth Aunt knew, how could she praise her like this.
But now that she is doing a small job in such a low position, she is more obedient, more obedient, and more diligent, and she is also liked by the fifth aunt, who adopts her to their side.
Then when she gets older, she talks about a good marriage, and the fifth aunt gives her some more dowry, then she will be worry-free for the rest of her life.
It's just that she doesn't know the saying that people are not as good as heaven.
In such a quiet small village, with such a group of people who are indifferent to the world, there will be rumors of unforeseen disasters.
Shen Qingci took out a few eggs from the withered grass, and put them in her own bamboo basket. She has been lucky recently, and she caught a rabbit a few days ago, and the eggs were collected more than before. There are a little more, there are eggs, meat, and vegetables. If she is not in Cangtao territory now, she may be more comfortable.
It's just that every time she thinks that this is not Da Zhou, not the Da Zhou she has lived in for two lifetimes, nor the Da Zhou she is familiar with, her heart is not at peace for a moment.
Those who are not of my race will be punished in their hearts.
Cangtao people are in her heart, no matter who they are, they will become her enemies. Although she has let go of this hatred of enemies, she has never regarded herself as a Cangtao person.
Therefore, she would rather live here than living at Uncle Wu’s house. Even if she is alone, she can still live comfortably. She has money, and she may earn money again. Well, there are really natural and man-made disasters, she can live like this, as long as she lives.
It was the day when she would go home.
She was carrying the bamboo basket and was about to go back, but she seemed to hear something?
It seems that someone is calling aunt, and this voice, like...
Xiaobao's?
She was walking down the mountain with a bamboo basket on her back, and since the villagers encountered a big bear here and injured several of them, few people dared to come here, and it was more than a month later, and no one dared to enter this mountain .
She also hasn't seen anyone in the village enter the mountain for a long time.
Could it be that Xiaobao really failed, but what happened to this kid, how could he come here, have you forgotten the lesson from last time?
"Auntie, Auntie..."
The voice of Shen Qingci got closer as he walked, it really was Xiaobao's voice.
"Auntie," Xiao Bao hurriedly ran over when he saw Shen Qingci, but he had short legs, and with a bang, he fell to the ground, his little face was scratched.
"Woo... aunt..."
Xiao Bao sat up, and kept wiping away his tears with the back of his hand, crying both wronged and pitiful.
Shen Qingci walked over and also squatted in front of Xiaobao,
Then she stretched out her hand and put it on Xiaobao's head. She opened her mouth and wanted to ask why Xiaobao came, but she couldn't ask because of the silence.
When Xiaobao saw her, he burst into tears.
"Oh, aunt, aunt, if the bad guys want to arrest you, Xiaobao is afraid..."
And that sentence "bad person" also made Shen Qingci's heart skip a beat.
Under the blue sky and broad daylight, who else is also arresting people in the village? Everyone in Shuanghe Village knows Wushu's personality. He is not such a troublemaker. I don't know how many people.
If there were really bad people, with so many families in the village, it would be impossible for them to stand by and watch Uncle Wu being bullied.
And what Shen Qingci was afraid of was not bad people, but...
Officers and soldiers.
She was afraid that her identity had been exposed, so she had implicated Uncle Wu, if that was the case, then...
Is she going to hide and hide in a higher mountain?
But when she saw Xiao Bao who was crying and out of breath, she couldn't make out this sentence.
She knows very well that if she wants to leave, she can leave no matter what. Nothing can smell her breath. She also dared to go to the deserted mountains. In nearly half a month, she escaped After searching the mountains countless times, how many times has she escaped under their noses?
