Chapter 31 A Letter from the Third Brother
Just as she was about to get off the ground, Xiao Nuobao was in trouble.
She was only one and a half years old. This ordinary farm kang was like a giant's shoulder to her. She couldn't get off without someone holding her.
Xiao Nuobao had to grab the edge of the kang and try to move her legs down.
But she didn't dare to move halfway.
She kicked her feet twice, but there was nothing to step on except air.
She wanted to climb back, but she was too weak. Her little arms like lotus roots were tired and red, and her body was still hanging in the air.
Xiao Nuobao was scared, and she groaned loudly a few times.
Feng Shi heard the sound and ran into the house, and saw that most of the girl's body fell outside, like a little frog, kicking her legs for help.
"My dear, please don't fall." Feng's heart tightened, and she rushed forward in two steps at a time, and hurriedly put little Nuobao into her arms.
Little Nuobao breathed a sigh of surprise.
Now he didn't dare to move anymore, and quickly nestled in his mother's arms like a quail, sticking out his tongue embarrassedly.
Feng's nervousness about the lady relieved some of the pain in her heart.
She wiped her eyes, patted the lady's small back gently, and coaxed her in a gentle voice.
At this time, Jiang Fengnian also entered the room.
His face turned green and he said, "Mom, my wife doesn't think before she speaks. Don't feel bad. The third brother...he will come back to reunite with us sooner or later."
After all, Feng was also an experienced person, and her emotions came and went quickly.
After she recovered her composure, she waved her hands: "You don't have to comfort me. The third brother has been taken away for almost two years. There has been no news. No matter what happens in the future, it is his own fate. Mother knows it."
Jiang Fengnian's heart ached when he heard these words.
Yes, it has been two years...
He couldn't help but clench his fists: "If grandma hadn't ordered the third brother to go to the city, then the third brother wouldn't..."
Jiang Fengnian's eyes flashed with anger. He really wanted to punch the wall to vent his anger, but he was afraid of scaring his sister, so he could only hold it back.
Feeling the pain of her mother and brother, Nuobao quickly hugged Feng's neck.
"Liang~ Don't be sad, there is still a nest." She opened her little mouth and coaxed anxiously.
The words of the lady made Feng's heart warm.
She rubbed the little face of the concubine: "My concubine is considerate. With you here, don't worry. No matter how hard it is, mother can get through it."
In fact, when she ran into the bad guy that day, Xiao Nuobao saw something about the third brother.
Soon, after Feng Shi and Jiang Fengnian whispered a few words, Nuobao understood everything.
Originally, there could be another brother in the family, that is the third brother Jiang Fengze.
However, two years ago, because of bad luck, Jiang Fengze happened to catch up with the soldiers who were catching strong men, and he was arrested inexplicably.
That day, Mrs. Jiang didn't know what was wrong, and she insisted that Jiang Fengze go to the city to get some medicine for Jiang Dahe.
Although Jiang Fengze didn't want to go.
But she was worried that Old Lady Jiang would embarrass Feng, so she thought it was just an errand, so she went into the city.
Who knew that Jiang Fengze would never come back after that.
When Feng learned the news and went to look for him, she was only told that the strong men who were captured this time had been transported away from Yuncheng, most of them were sent to do hard labor to repair the city.
That night, Feng cried all night.
Her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Since then, there has been no news about the third brother Jiang Fengze, but occasionally there is news that most of the hard laborers died of exhaustion in a foreign land...
Jiang Fengze was born with a handsome appearance. In the family, except for Feng Jing, his appearance can be compared with his, and the other brothers are far behind.
Thinking that such an outstanding brother had suffered such a disaster, how could Xiao Nuobao not be anxious? She quickly closed her eyes and wanted to see the fortune of her third brother.
After a moment, Xiao Nuobao suddenly opened her eyes, revealing sparkling eyes.
"Liang, San Guoguo, still alive!"
What?
Feng's eyes widened immediately.
"My dear... your third brother is really still alive"
Xiao Nuobao's eyes lit up again.
"Go south."
"You can get news about San Guo!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fengnian almost lost his balance and excitedly grasped the door frame.
What?
Is there really news about Fengze? !
Feng's chest was pounding, she jumped to the ground barefoot and ran out the door in a hurry.
"Boss, going south is the direction to Yuncheng, hurry up and harness the donkey cart!"
Jiang Fengnian grabbed the cloth shoes on the ground and chased after him, "Mom, shoes, put on your shoes first!"
The donkey cart creaked all the way and ran very fast on the dirt road.
After a while, after a lot of dust, the mother and son of the Feng family finally entered the city.
The streets of Yuncheng were lined with shops, bustling with people, and very lively.
Jiang Fengnian finally recovered. He patted his head and said, "Mother, my sister only told us to go south, but she didn't tell us where to find my third brother."
Feng only believed her daughter in her heart, and said firmly, "Since your sister said so, just listen to her and go forward. Don't ask so many questions."
They parked the donkey cart at a street corner and walked for a while. Just as they were about to turn, they suddenly heard someone mutter behind them, "This letter is from Daliu Village."
Feng turned around subconsciously and saw that there was an official post next to them.
Two postmen were sitting at the door of the official post. There were several bundles of letters on the stone steps. The two were sorting them with their heads down, mumbling as they sorted them.
Some of the letters had yellowed and curled edges, which showed that they were a few days old.
For some reason, Feng's heart skipped a beat. She involuntarily walked forward and asked the postman,
"I heard you mentioned Daliu Village just now. Do you have any letters from Daliu Village?"
The postmen didn't even raise their heads: "Yes, there are still a few letters. Anyway, we won't deliver them. If we sort them out, they will just be thrown away."
Feng couldn't help but frown.
But she had heard about the style of these postmen.
The official post was originally a place for officials to rest and deliver military letters. However, due to the unrest in the past two years, the salary of the Yuncheng official post was insufficient, and they were dissatisfied and took advantage of it.
Except for official documents, the rest of the military letters were all suppressed and not delivered.
Feng hesitated for a moment, then said in a friendly voice: "What a coincidence, I also happen to be from Daliu Village, I wonder if I can take back the letters from our village, if it's from any fellow villager, I can also let them have a look."
The postman saw that Feng was just a peasant woman and was getting impatient, at this time, Feng suddenly took out a small piece of silver and stuffed it into her hand.
"You have worked hard here, just think of it as treating you to two bowls of tea."
The postman weighed the silver, and then he looked good, he picked out three letters and gave them all to Feng.
"These are all from your village. They look like they were sent by one person."
Feng asked Jiang Fengnian to come over and said, "Big brother, I can't read. Please take a look at who in our village this letter is addressed to."
Jiang Fengnian looked down and his pupils suddenly trembled.
"Mom, it says it's addressed to our family..."
"This is a letter from my third brother!!"
