Zhong Xiu got on the carriage, pressed the small button, and a bright house appeared before her.
Even though he had seen it many times, Zhong Xiu was still shocked by the things in front of him every time he came in.
She would pinch herself secretly every time, fearing that everything in front of her was just an illusion.
[It is five o'clock in the morning now. What can I do for you, Master? ]
Zhong Xiu didn't come back to his senses until he heard Xiaowei's voice.
She signaled Xiaowei not to say anything and went to see her precious daughter first.
But I saw that my daughter had already gotten up.
She stroked her daughter's furry head and said softly, "Did Mom wake you up?"
"No, mother, I'm already up." Lin Ke rubbed Zhong Xiu's hand with his head.
"Since you are already up, mother has something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
"Now, we have to flee the famine. If it were just our family, we could use these magical things given by your master.
But now we have your aunt's family, and your grandpa's family will be here later. If we do anything unusual, they will definitely notice it.
Mom doesn’t want other people to know that you had these adventures. Human hearts are hard to predict, and Mom doesn’t want my dear to take even the slightest risk.
So when we escape from the famine later, we should just be like everyone else and not do anything out of the ordinary."
Then he touched Lin Ke's face lovingly, "It's hard for my dear baby. He could have enjoyed himself, but he had to suffer with us."
Lin Ke hugged Zhong Xiu and acted coquettishly. With such a good mother, what else could the couple ask for?
"Mom, my master has already thought about this matter for me. He gave me ten pills. Anyone who eats them will not reveal my secret, and they can also enhance a person's physical fitness. That's it..."
"What is it? You kid, why didn't you tell us about this good thing? Take it out and give us one to eat, so that we don't have to worry every day."
"After eating it, if anyone wants to betray me, their body will explode and die."
"Silly child, is this why you didn't tell us about this pill?
Your master has thought very carefully for you. You must know that you must always be on guard against others. Even your parents and brothers may inadvertently expose your secrets.
With this, we can save a lot of worries and no longer have to worry about accidentally bringing disaster to you.
Besides, don’t you have faith in our family? You have to believe in us.”
"Mom, you're so nice!" Lin Ke turned into a clingy little creature again, clinging to Zhong Xiu's body and refusing to get off.
After the mother and daughter stayed together for a while, Zhong Xiucai patted Lin Ke's little butt and said, "Okay, it's almost dawn, let's go out quickly and take Xiao Shitou out with you, so that your aunt and the others won't find anything unusual."
"Mom, I have something to discuss with you."
"Anything else?"
"There are ten pills in total, so I want to tell my grandparents and aunt about it, so that we don't have to avoid them all the time on the road. Would it be better if there are more people to cover for us?"
Zhong Xiu was stunned for a moment when she heard her daughter say this. It was obvious that she had not thought about this matter yet.
But I also think that what my daughter said makes some sense.
So she smiled and praised him, "My dear is really thoughtful. We will discuss this matter with your father and your grandmother later. Darling, let's go out first."
Lin Ke slept for a while in her parents' room. When she woke up, Old Lady Jiang called her into her room and said the same thing to her as she did to Zhong Xiu.
Lin Ke told Old Lady Jiang about the pill again, but she didn't expect that she would have the same reaction. She couldn't wait to take the pill.
Even Guo Bao in the space sighed when he saw this scene, saying that the family the host met in this life was really nice.
Just after finishing my meal, I heard a knock on the door.
Lin Ke went to open the door, only to find that the people who came were her grandparents.
Grandpa stood straight with his hands behind his back, while grandma carried a small basket.
Lin Ke called out obediently, "Grandma and Grandpa."
When Old Man Zhong saw his granddaughter greeting him, he nodded seriously.
If you ignore the upturned corners of his mouth, you might think that this old man doesn't like the girl in front of him.
Wang Daya glanced at her old man with a paralyzed face, hugged Lin Ke, and said happily:
"Oh, our dear baby, you are completely fine now. I didn't believe it when your father said you were fine before. But now that I see you standing here in high spirits, I can finally let go of your worries."
"Grandma, I'm all right now. If you don't believe me, just look."
Lin Ke said this and broke free from Old Lady Wang's arms, turning around a few times in front of her.
"Okay, okay, okay, our dear baby is fine, fine, fine."
At this time, Xiao Shitou rushed over, and the old lady was surprised again, which relieved Lin Ke's embarrassment.
It’s true that I have a girlish heart, but not much.
After the three families exchanged greetings, they got down to business.
Lin Heng shared the latest news with everyone, and it was this news that made them decide to leave tomorrow.
It turned out that Manager Zhang said that the boss brought the latest news that their Yongning Prefecture was going to start compulsory conscription. All men between the ages of 15 and 50 were eligible for conscription, and the official document would be sent out in ten days at most.
If someone wanted to use silver instead of soldiers, each person would need at least 100 taels of silver.
You have to know that an ordinary farmer may not even be able to save one or two taels of silver a year.
100 taels of silver per person, isn't this going to cost someone's life?
