"Mother, mother..."
Da Wa shouted outside Xia Manni's room. Xia Manni in the room heard the sound and quickly sat up.
Because Da Wa never called her and Sinier to get up.
Normally, they both sleep until they wake up naturally.
Later, when we went to Jin'an City to set up a stall, it was also Da Wa who prepared everything outside.
"Come on, Big Baby."
Xia Manni didn't ask what happened, but quickly put on her clothes and left the house.
Winter is still very cold, but their conditions are better and they wear much thicker clothes.
Xia Manni breathed a sigh of relief and saw two people and a dog standing in the yard.
At their feet was a dark object that could not be seen clearly.
Xia Manni walked closer and saw that it was a big bag.
She asked, "What is this?"
The eldest child shook his head and said, "The second child and I heard Potato screaming, and then we heard a bang, so we ran out."
Erwa continued, "I haven't opened it yet, so I don't know what's inside."
Xia Manni nodded, reached out and pulled it, and found that the bag was quite heavy.
Later, with the help of Erwa and Dawa, they moved him into the main room.
At this time, Sanwa and Sinier also woke up, rubbing their eyes and wondering what had happened.
Da Wa lit the oil lamp, and they could see the bundle more clearly.
It's big enough and the packaging is very sturdy.
Xia Manni opened it and found that it was wrapped in three layers.
After opening it, there was a box inside, and many weapons, including knives, swords, and several wrist guards.
Da Wa's eyes lit up and he said, "Mom, look, there's a letter here."
Xia Manni took it and there was nothing written on the cover, so she opened it immediately to read.
Da Wa observed Xia Manni's expression and saw that her face was becoming more and more ugly.
Erwa also felt something was wrong and quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Xia Manni said, "Dawa, go call your Uncle Jin and Aunt Zhang over."
It's still dark now. What can't be discussed after dawn?
The children also know Xia Manni's temper and personality.
The fact that she was so anxious to see someone showed that the content of the letter was extraordinary.
Big Brother was also a little confused. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
When Da Wa went to call Jin Zian, he brought Si Ni'er with him because he knew that Jin Zian was in a bad mood when he woke up.
Sure enough, Jin Zian took a long time to open the door. After opening the door, he saw Da Wa and Sini'er.
He lowered his head and looked at the two children, "What's going on?"
The dissatisfaction in his tone was so strong that even Si Ni'er, his apprentice, didn't dare to speak.
Da Wa could only smile and say, "Uncle Jin, my mother wants to talk to you about something urgent."
Jin Zian was stunned for a moment, said he would be there right away, and hurried back to the yard.
Da Wa had no choice but to call Zhang Cuiling next. This time she opened the door quickly and hurried to Xia's house when she heard that Xia Manni was looking for her.
When Jin Zian arrived at the Xia family with the medicine box, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Manni sitting well.
I'm glad you're okay.
But why does her face look a little ugly?
He whispered, "What's wrong?"
Big Brother blinked his eyes. Uncle Jin didn’t speak in that tone just now.
"Just wait and see."
Xia Manni gave the letter to Jin Zian and Zhang Cuiling, and they both took it.
After a while, their expressions became similar to Xia Manni's.
But Zhang Cuiling's condition was more serious, while Jin Zian just frowned.
Da Wa stepped forward and asked, "Mom, what happened? Isn't this the letter from Uncle Dayong?"
Xia Manni was curious: "How do you know it's a letter from Uncle Dayong?"
"The only one who can do this must be someone who knows us. It's Uncle Dayong."
Besides, he was a martial arts expert, so when Da Wa first saw the bundle, he thought of him.
I just don’t know why they all looked so solemn after reading the letter.
Jin Zian gave the letter to Da Wa and asked the other children to read it.
Except for Ergou who knew fewer words, almost all the other children could understand it.
Da Wa opened the letter and started reading.
The letter read: The situation in the south has been largely stabilized, and the armies have been divided into two factions: the Zhao army and the Third Prince's army. They are now planning to march north, and before doing so, they will send people to plunder able-bodied men and money everywhere.
They plundered under the name of bandits, so people in the villages near Jin'an City should be especially careful.
The Zhao army advocated negotiation and seizing power, while the Third Prince's army advocated seizing power by force.
I also hope Manny will be well prepared and protect herself and her children.
We have many acquaintances in the Zhao army, so don't worry.
I can’t celebrate the New Year with you this year, and I look forward to seeing you next year.
The war is still going on, be careful.
After reading it, the eldest son also started to worry.
As the richest village nearby, Shi'an Village will definitely be targeted.
Zhang Cuiling said angrily: "I didn't expect the army to be so rogue."
Xia Manni sighed and said, "This way, I can gain benefits without damaging my reputation. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Jin Zian asked, "What are these?"
He picked up a box from the bag. The weapons in the bag were obviously for the children.
But this box didn't seem like that, so he opened it.
His intuition told him that this was for Xia Manni, but Wu Dayong didn't say it explicitly, so of course he could open it.
After opening it, it turned out to be a pinky ring, which was half the length of the finger and of an ancient style.
Xia Manni asked curiously, "What is this?"
Jin Zian took it and touched it carefully, then handed it to Xia Manni and said, "This is for you."
Xia Manni took it and Jin Zian asked her to put it on.
He took Xia Manni's hand and raised it high, then touched a small bump on the pinky ring.
Then, with a whoosh, a thin needle pierced the edge of the window.
Zhang Cuiling opened her mouth wide: "Is this a hidden weapon?"
Jin Zi'an nodded, then took out a lot of silver needles from the box and said, "I'll apply some poison on you."
Xia Manni: ...
Erwa had already started to pick up weapons. Several children divided the weapons among themselves, and Zhang Cuiling also took a dagger.
Zhang Cuiling: "Brother Jin, please put all of this on."
Jin Zian nodded in agreement.
Xia Manni felt that now was not the time to talk about this...
"Mom, should we talk to the village chief?"
At this time, Da Wa asked the question at the right time, and Zhang Cuiling and Jin Zian finally raised their heads from their weapons.
"Well, we have to tell the village chief that this isn't the Shizai Village either."
Zhang Cuiling: "Then shall we go there now?"
Xia Manni thought for a moment and said, "Goodbye, Da Wa, when it's daybreak, go call the village chief and tell him if you've come up with a name yesterday. Have him come over to discuss it."
Da Wa understood Xia Manni's intention. This matter was very serious, and they couldn't go up the mountain to chop firewood and cause panic like what happened in Shi Zai Village.
And Da Wa can also see clearly that Village Chief An is different from the village chief of Shizai Village.
He is trustworthy.
